"Good, you're awake!" I sighed as I entered Room 5 with a red rose behind my back. Amy sat up in bed, her arm and leg stitched once more and her lungs free of poison. Sally sat in a chair next to her. They both looked at me and smiled; Sally's grin was timid, more like a smirk. Amy's was a full blown out smile, straight white teeth and all; the most beautiful smile in the world.
"Well, I'll leave you two alone," Sally stridded to the door and closed it behind her. I sat in the chair next to her bed and held her hand, "How do you feel?"
"Fine, now that you're here." She whispered. She pulled her legs from the tangle of sheets and lightly stepped onto the cold wood. However, she stumbled and luckily fell into my arms.
"I don't think you're ready to walk yet!" I chuckled. I made her sit down on my lap, "Ame's?"
"What, Sonic?"
" "There's . . . something I need to tell you. While you were . . . Just about dead . . . I was thinking the whole time - other than trying to save you - about how I've ran away from you all those times, and how stupid I was. And I realized that . . . I – I love you."
She stared at me, shocked. She probably didn't believe me, though. She probably thought it was a trick.
"You think this is a joke . . . don't you?"
She bit her lip and blinked several times, gazing at the ground. She slightly shook her head, as if she were shivering . . . or vibrating. She DID think that it was a joke.
"Well, it's not," I whispered, placing my hand gently under her chin, so she would look at me. "and I can prove it to you,"
I leaned in and kissed her soft, pink lips with my own. As we moved our mouths in loving rhythm, I wrapped my arms around her waist and she placed hers on my neck. We broke our kiss after long moments and just stayed there in each other's arms.
"My Amy. My beautiful, kind, loving Amy," I crooned.
"My Sonikku. My handsome, speedy, wonderful Sonikku," she whispered back.
We pulled away and I drew out the rose, "A rose . . . for my rose,"
