Chapter Two : It's Him Again
This can't be happening right now. Can it?
"The one and only" he said with his signature thumbs up.
A thumbs up? Do you really think your presence is wanted right about now?
"What are you doing here?" I asked tightly, gripping the doorknob in my hands roughly.
"Thought I should drop in" he said rubbing his hands together.
Why? I thought you never wanted to see me again? Wait…wasn't he supposed to be in New York?
He tucked his arms under his pits and was bouncing on his fore step, scarf wrapped tight around his neck.
"Oh! You're cold, sorry about that…uh…come in" I said before stepping out of his way, opening the door wider for him to come inside.
"Whew! Thanks" he said as he got inside. He loosened his scarf a bit more, and he breathed his last visible gust of air close to my face, enough for me to get a whiff of his fresh breath.
"N-No problem…Sonic" I cleared my throat.
I heard my mom's footsteps coming out of the kitchen and we both glanced her way "Sonic?" She asked in surprise.
Oh great.
"Heya Miss Rose, long time no see" he said shyly, scratching the back of his head, making his chin dip a little, his emerald orbs seemed so innocent; but I knew better.
"A long time indeed" she said as she came out to look at him "well you look dashing as ever" she marveled before embracing him. Sonic hugged her back with equal adoration, he was way taller than her now.
Mom's right, Sonic looks….really good. No Amy! No! Stop checking him out!
I shook my head wildly, hoping to clear my thoughts, but my eyes deceived me, they ran along his entire outfit and figure while he and mom were in conversation.
He was wearing khaki long bottoms, with a dark blue sweat shirt-almost seemed black, he wore a red scarf around his neck, now loosened, dangling from his neck. His emerald eyes shone brightly. His quills were in their normal slick back style. He was clearly fit and his smile almost made me melt.
Idiot. Don't fall for it.
Sonic
She was definitely checking me out, I could barely keep the conversation going with Mrs. Rose, I really just came here to see Amy…
Amy
Shit they were staring at me know, all I was doing was drooling inwardly at Sonics existence. It's been years and he still has the ability to do this to me?! Hell!
"S-so what brings you here?" I swallowed nervously.
"Oh, well. I uh came to talk to you about something actually" he said rubbing the back of his neck
Is he embarrassed? No this has got to be an act.
"Oh! Then, pardon me" my mom said smiling and went upstairs to her room and mouthed "good luck" to me
I'm going to talk to her later. I growled in my head.
"Ames" he said softly, strained even as he uttered my old nickname
I couldn't help but to look at him in surprise; I haven't heard that nickname in ages…and it sounded so…. good coming from him again.
"Y-yea?" I said nervously as he inched closer, me taking a step back.
"It's been forever" he whispered before pulling at my arm, and into his broad chest. His hands were suddenly wrapped tightly around my waist, but not in an unbreathable way…more like…
Sonic
Oh God I missed her…I couldn't help myself, she was taller now,, but still a bit on the short side compared to me. Her quills gave off a shake at my sudden contact, and her ears twitched after feeling my exhale. God…..I seriously missed her..
Amy
What's happening? My legs aren't functioning and my arms aren't listening to me…mmm what is that scent?
He buried his face in my quills atop my head, giving me free access to his neck…my arms began inching closer, to hug hum back….
What would happen if I bit his throat clean open? No, then I would be charged with murder and will never get to see my boyfriend agai-crap. Sonic was hugging me!
My posture immediately went stiff in his embrace, and my hands dropped from around his torso. I felt him flinch and he murmured in my hair, "Ames, you okay?"
Has his voice gotten deeper to? Dear God.
"Huh? Oh yeah, just- just thinking a little "I managed while squirming out of his arms.
"About what?" he said in a hurt tone, watching me carefully.
"H-How's Sally doing?" I blurted out, lifting my gaze to see his reaction
"She's fine" he said pressing his lips in a hard line, I could tell he wasn't expecting my question.
Good. How about I remind you why it wasn't okay to just pop in and decide to hug me after what you guys did.
"You guys ok? Still living together?" I said softly looking at my boots and began to shift from one leg to the other
This is starting to hurt. No. Get a grip Rose!
"Yeah" he said taking a step back, his hand in his hair.
"Any kids yet?" I joked, my words coming out as dry as the warm air inside the house.
"I don't think I'm ready for kids Amy" he fired back. His voice was stern, but I held my ground.
"Yeah, you never liked kids following you around anyway" I scoffed.
Sonic rejected my love for him, he's done it countless times during my innocent childhood, but one day he made it pretty clear…
# Flash Back #
"Sonikku stop running" I smiled, picking up as much speed as I possibly could to get a hold of the blue blur. It was a sweltering afternoon, and a chase was just what the doctor ordered. The cool summer breeze whipped all around me as my hair flew backwards, the short strands being drowned in the cool breeze.
"Amy would you quit chasing me?!" he yelled back, his feet seemed as if he wasn't touching the ground period.
"Not until you marry me!" I said playfully, pushing my already sore legs faster.
Just then, a messy blur of brown and blue caused me to stop mere inches away from where Sonic had just pulled brakes. He stood there with his thumb under his nose, shooting a boyish grin.
Sally stood in front of us typing something in her electronic pad. She looked up as the wind picked up, making her auburn hair blow all around her face. She caught a few strands, putting them behind her ear, responding to Sonics grin with her own smile.
"Hey Sal," he smiled.
"Hello Sonic" she said while batting her eyelashes at him. She reached out to grab a twig stuck in Sonic's fur, and she giggled when he blushed, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.
I got annoyed.
"Sonic I thought we were having a conversation?" I asked, impatiently tapping my foot, arms folded against my then flat chest.
"Cool Ames" he said staring straight at Sally, clearly not paying attention to me anymore.
"So, hero, how would you like to take me on a date tomorrow night?" she said with a roll of her tongue. Sally was wearing her signature outfit. Denim blue jacket and a pair of matching boots. Her chest had already begun to grow, her hair longer than when I first met her.
"Sure thing Sal, anything ya like" he said like an obedient dog.
Well that ticked me off.
"WELL EXCUSE ME! YOU CAN'T TAKE MY FUTURE HUSBAND ON A DATE!" I yelled
"AMY!, QUIT CALLING ME THAT!" he suddenly yelled at me.
It startled me to the point I fell on my butt and I stared at him in complete terror, yah, granted, Sonic has yelled at me before, but only in battle, when I was taken and he would save me. Or he was instructing me t do something. However, this…it was hurtful, he didn't want me around for real this time.
Sally put a hand on his chest to calm him and he relaxed his stance.
"Amy, sweetie"she began, putting her hand atop my head. "I'm just taking Sonic out, I am his girlfriend after all. And you're just a kid, let it go alright?" she said in a sick-sweet voice.
"But…But, I'm in love with him too" I protested. "I want to be his wife so he can be my hero"
She laughed. She actually laughed. "He already is your hero, nothing more, nothing less"
"Are you telling me Sonic isn't my friend?!" I growled. "Sonic loves me too! He said it before, that' he'd marry me!" I spat.
That got him ticked.
"I WILL NEVER BE YOU HUSBAND OK? GET IT THROUGH YOUR THICK HEAD!" he said suddenly appearing before me. "I just said it to stop your annoying crying, I'm in a relationship Amy, grow up and leave just leave me alone.
He grabbed Sally by the hand and she shot me a smile, not one of comfort, but triumph. He lifted her bridal style and revved up.
"Sally and I have stuff to do so DON'T FOLLOW ME! "He yelled and picked sally up bridal style
"Later Amy" she smiled giving him a kiss on his cheek causing him to grin and speed off.
#End Flashback#
"Ames, I'm really sorry about that, I didn't know it would still be bugging you" he said shifting uncomfortably.
Hell yea it did!
"I got over it" I lied, shrugging my shoulders
Another knock came that made us both stiffen, I watched Sonics ears twitch and his face grew unfamiliar. He didn't recognize the sound of footsteps, but I did.
"Amy? I'm coming in." a male voice said.
The front door opened again, but this time I was actually happy to see who it was. My boyfriend. My actual, real, life boyfriend.
He stared at Sonic and then at me, he immediately was at my side and his hand made its way to my waist pulling me in closer, calming me.
"Who's the guy babe?" he said staring Sonic down
Sonics brow arched in annoyance and surprise. "Babe?" Sonic whispered to himself, but I heard it…loud and clear. He eyed the hand arm my waist and tensed.
"Shade, this is Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic, this is my boyfriend Shade" I said proudly announcing my relationship to the hedgehog beside me.
He stared at him in disbelief and stuffed his hands in his pockets and stared at the both of us.
"Oh, you're the 'hero'. Well, I'm Amy's boyfriend, nice to meet you" Shade said with a simple nod. Shade didn't bother take his hand out to shake, and neither did Sonic. The room immediately became tenser, making it harder for me to breathe, I glance at Shade and smiled when he looked at me the exact same time.
Shade was wearing a dark grey sweater shirt with black pants, his silver quills were slicked back with three sticking out the front to match mine, his hands were gloved, and his striking blue eyes that seemed to match Sonic's fur, stared at Sonic coldly.
"You ready?" he finally asked turning to me with soft eyes.
"Yep!" I said regaining my perk
"Ames..?"
"We'll talk later Hedgehog" I said simply.
"See you later then?"
"Yeah I guess" I said and walked through the door.

"Mind telling me why the Hero of our country is visiting you?" Shade asked once we were in his car
"I wish I knew, I haven't seen him in five years….". I said looking out the window of Shade's Black car.
"Hm, looks like you guys were having an argument though. Did he do something?" he said rubbing small circles at the back of my hand.
I smiled at the small gesture, looking over at him I replied.
"Not really, he just showed up at my doorstep with no warning. It just shook me a bit." I admitted
"Hey, I never asked, but did he- you know….ever had a crush on you or something?"
I laughed bitterly.
"Crush? No, the complete opposite. He never liked me around him in the first place. It got worse after he decided to he run off with his squirrel-y girlfriend" I said with a sigh and a hint of anger at the memory.
He saw the look on my face and decided to change the subject. Clapping his hands briefly before putting them back on the wheel. I glanced at him with an arched brow.
"Well I know I'm gonna kick your butt in air hockey" he smiled
"In your dreams" I said challenging him. Showing him my fist of determination
"Oh you are so gonna get an ass whopping Rose" he said poking me playfully.
I rolled my eyes "You can say that after you try to beat me." I laughed. "And the light is green so go!"
"Hey, Hey, don't rush me" he said snapping his fingers.
"That was beyond gay just now" I laughed.
"Maybe, but you still manage to kiss this 'gay' guy every….damn…day" he said pecking my lips.
A horn blared from behind us, making us jump; laughing as he finally decided to get the car going, his right hand found my left, and he continues making small circles on my hand; his eyes focused on the road, he looked so calm and handsome...I didn't need to look at anyone other than him; he was my stability in my wobbly life.
That's right, I didn't need Sonic, he can glomp all over Sally, see if I care. Shade and I are perfectly happy. I had forgotten him all this time, shouldn't be hard to do it now….right?
