Here I am with the next chapter, more shocking things on its way….

The Love Square

Chapter Ten

Knuckles POV

For a few days now, Sonic hasn't really spoken. Which is really out of character. What did he do to get everyone so upset? And why did he have to stay with me out of all people? I looked over the hedgehog that was sitting by the window. Wow, he is depressed. Lucky for us, it's the winter holidays; otherwise he would be refusing to go to school.

I don't know what to say to him. I still hate his guts but I feel bad for him. I slowly walked over to the window, where he had sat. He didn't sneer or tease me for standing next to him. He said nothing.

"Are you ok?" I forced myself to ask. He nodded slowly. But still didn't say anything. I sat down near him. "Nice view, isn't it?" He still didn't answer. Not even a snort. "Come on, Sonic, this isn't like you. I know we both hate each other and you've had a tough week but you might as well talk." Sonic shook his head, a small smirk started to appear. That's more like it.

"Can I not have a few moments to be quiet?" He asked, quietly. That's the first time he has actually spoken in two days.

"No, you can't because that's not being you." He continued to look out of the window.

"Ok, if you say so." He picked up a valuable possession of mine, which is a small box and held it up to my face, "What the fuck is this? It's ugly." I snatched the box out of his hand.

"That happened to be given by my dying grandmother, you bastard!" I spat. I was being nice to him and this is what I get in return?

"You told me to speak and that's what I wanted to say." He said.

"You know what, Sonic, fuck you! Just sit here and be a dickhead because that's the reason why you were 'triple' dumped!" I shouted at him and stormed to my room.

When I closed the door, I could hear Sonic starting to cry. Was I actually hearing this? I opened the door slightly to see if he was. Holy shit! Sonic The Hedgehog was actually crying! His head was buried in his hands and I could hear him sob quietly. I rushed out of the room and stood over him. He still continued to cry. I could see tears dropping from his hands. I pulled him into a hug. He returned the hug and squeezed me hard. What was I doing? Why was I hugging my enemy? I couldn't believe I was actually doing this.

After a few minutes, Sonic started to calm down.

"If you tell anyone I cried, I'll kill you." Sonic whispered in my shoulder. I laughed quietly.

"I won't. Don't worry." He pulled away and wiped his face with the back of his hand. His eyes were slightly red but he still managed to look good. Damn, how can he do that? I gave him a box of tissues and he started to blow his nose. He looked good doing that as well.

"Why were you crying?" I asked him. He shook his head in embarrassment. "Was it because I mentioned that you got dumped?"

"I fucked up really bad, Knuckles." He whispered. I sat down next to him.

"Why, what did you do now?"

"I got in a fight with Shadow." I pointed at the bruise on his cheek.

"Does that explain the bruise?" He touched it.

"No, that was Taylor."

"Eh?" I didn't know Taylor could throw a punch like that.

"I forced myself on him and he punched me."

"Well, what did you expect? Of course everyone is going to be upset with you."

"…It's difficult to explain." I sighed at his stupidity. I couldn't help pity him. "What am I going to do? I can't face them now. I feel like such an idiot."

"I'm sure they will forgive you. You just need space from them for now." He agreed and continued sniffing. "Should I order pizza?"

"Go ahead."

It was late in the evening and we ate pizza and we watched TV. We were actually getting along. We had a lot of the same interests. I didn't know Sonic even liked to watch anime.

"Well I am half Japanese so what did you expect?" Sonic said, smirking. He was happily downing some beer. I never really drank alcohol in school so it was weird. But I wasn't complaining.

"What kind do you like?" I asked him.

"Yaoi."

"What?"

"I'm joking." We both laughed.

"You know what Sonic, you aren't as bad as I thought you were." I said to him, truthfully.

"Same with you, Knux." I frowned at him.

"Don't call me Knux!"

"Can I tell you a secret?" Sonic said, putting down his beer bottle. I looked at him. What secret did he have to tell me? He must be slightly drunk, if he spilling secrets to someone like me.

"What is it?" For once, I saw him start to hesitate.

"I…um…the reason why…I made you hate me for things I have done." I assumed he was referring what he did to Silver and Taylor, "It's because I…I really like you." I dropped the beer bottle in shock and it crashed onto the floor. Luckily, it didn't smash into pieces.

"You…you what?"

"You probably won't believe me but it's true, I have liked you even since we met." I shook my head in disbelief. Sonic can't like me, that's impossible. I thought no one ever liked me. That's what he said.

"What about Shadow? Taylor? Silver?"

"Not sure how I feel about Shadow right now, but Taylor and Silver, no, I don't like him that much. I like you much more." I opened my mouth in horror. He likes me more than Taylor and Silver? "I know you can't return the feelings and I understand. That's why I wanted you to hate me. I didn't want to be rejected, you're so much better than me."

"Sonic, are you crazy?"

"No, not last time I checked." He laughed. He picked up his bottle and carried on drinking, "I just wanted to let you know." Well fuck you for telling me because now my head is all messed up! How can Sonic like someone like me? It kind of makes sense for all the years he has teased, flirted with me and tried to make me jealous.

"Knuckles, can I ask for something?" He asked quietly after a few minutes of silence.

"What?" He looked down and played with his fingers.

"Can we…you know…"
"No fucking way." I hissed. "I can't Sonic, I don't know how I'm feeling right now. After all these years of you making me feel like shit. I don't understand you at all. And when you finally tell me why you treated me like that, you expect me to be all over you?" Sonic grabbed both of my arms, really tightly.

"Please, Knuckles. Just this once and we'll never have to do it again. I need to get it out of my system. I've always dreamed what it would be like to do it with you. And now we're alone together this is the perfect opportunity."

"Sonic, I'm not really experienced. I've only had sex once. I'm not sure if I would be good enough for you." He laughed.

"I'm not good enough for you and yet I'm begging you." He leaned in closer to my face, "Please." He whispered. I was really tempted by it. I hate to admit this but I have dreamed of what it would be like to have sex with him as well. But then I think of him doing Taylor, Silver and it makes me angry.

I looked at Sonic, he wasn't looking confident and cocky as he usually would, he looked really vulnerable. He looked like he wanted someone to take away the pain and confusion, which was running through his head. I remembered when he cried earlier. I don't exactly know what he was crying about but I can at least make him happy. Even though, I couldn't understand why I wanted to. I hated him. Well, I thought I did.

"Please." He whispered again and leaned in closer to me. I gave in and leaned towards him, making our lips meet. His lips were soft. Which is what I wasn't expecting. Seconds after our lips locked, we ended up deepening the kiss. It was like our hidden, frustrated feelings and passions for each other were released. I could see what Sonic meant by 'getting it out of his system'. He bit my bottom lip, begging for entrance in my mouth. I quickly obliged and let his tongue in. I have never had such a kiss as this before. I never had a French kiss or a make out with anyone. I could feel his hands run through my hair and tug onto the roots. His hands were warm and firm. He knew what he was doing. I moved my hands down his slender body and rested them on his hips, gripping them tightly with my fingers.

He pulled away from the kiss and nuzzled into my neck, kissing and nibbling all over, giving me love bites. I quietly moaned at how good he was doing it. I couldn't believe how good Sonic was. I could understand why Taylor agreed to join in the hedgehogs. I could understand why Taylor liked Sonic from the start. Sonic is completely irresistible.

Our lips met again in a rough, passionate kiss. I could feel his hands slowly move up my shirt. I could hear the phone starting to ring; I didn't want to answer it I didn't want to leave Sonic. But the phone was starting to annoy me, so I broke the kiss and answered it.

"What?" I asked, surprised of my heavy panting.

"It's me…Taylor." I froze. What was I doing? I looked at Sonic who was watching my every move. His face looked flushed and was panting as much as I was.

"Hey, what is it?"

"Are you ok? You're panting."

"Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine, just working out."

"Is Sonic ok?" I gave him a quick look.

"Yes he's alright."

"I feel really bad that he has to stay with you. I know you hate him. It's just for now. Until we sort him and Shadow out." Shadow. I forgot about Shadow. Sonic loves Shadow. I know he does. Should we even be doing this?

"Ok, I understand. I think I'll survive for now."

"Thank you Knuckles." My heart started to beat faster as I heard the sincerity in his voice. Oh god, my feelings were so fucked up at the moment. I hung up and looked at Sonic.

"I know what you're thinking." Sonic whispered, rather hoarsely.

"What am I thinking?"

"You're regretting this. You don't want to do it anymore." I ran a hand from my hair, where Sonic's hands were a few minutes ago.

"I don't know what to say. What we're doing is amazing, but what about Shadow, I know you like him too. It's probably stronger than your feelings for me. And you know how much I like Taylor." He looked down in thought.

"But I said we could do this once and never again."

"I know. I know." I was so irritated with myself. What should I do? Sonic walked up to me and shoved me against the wall.

"Please, Knuckles." He said. It sounded really aggressive like he needed it.

"Ok, but can we take this into the bedroom, in case…" Sonic dragged into the bedroom and pushed me onto the bed. He climbed on top and straddled me. The room was dim, which I found quite sexy.

"Right, where were we?" He whispered leaning towards me, against my lips before capturing them with his. His hands began to travel up my shirt again, caressing my chest. I sat up and let him take my shirt off. I wasn't the most confident with my body but I didn't mind showing it to certain people. Sonic just smiled and started to kiss and lick my chest. "It's so firm and soft." He mumbled against my skin.

His lips started to move down to my 'area'. I froze. I was slightly nervous showing Sonic, my whole body to him. He's probably 'bigger' than me and will make fun of me. But he looked up at me and smiled. It was a comforting smile saying he wouldn't judge me. He slowly slid off my jeans and boxers. The waiting time was unbearable. I laid back and looked up at the ceiling, and closed my eyes.

…..

We looked at each other for a few minutes, in shock of what we had done. Suddenly Sonic laughed.

"What's so funny?" I asked.

"I can't believe we did that. I can't believe it."

"Do you regret it?" He shook his head and nuzzled into my chest. I wrapped my arms around him.

"Do you?" I heard him mumble.

"…No, I don't. But we definitely can't do it again." We both laughed at the sad joke, we knew we could never do this again. We got it all out of our systems.

"Thank you for doing that." Sonic murmured, it sounded like he was falling asleep.

"You're welcome. Oh and Sonic."

"…Yeah."

"You're still a dickhead."

"I know." We both fell asleep in each other's arms.

Guys…I actually carried on writing and wrote a sex scene. Shock horror. But it won't be on this fanfic. If you guys want the sex scene as a separate fanfic, please comment. I'm not sure if I want to post it.

I can't believe this is actually happening in the story. Sonic and Knuckles who would have guessed it.
