All Those Years:Re Written-Chapter 14
Falling for Him Pt.1
Amy's POV
My body was aching.
I squeezed my already shut eyes tighter, stretching my arms to relive the strain in my muscles. My arm squeezed something soft, almost plush...yet it was a bit rough...
My pillow...?
Still closing my eyes, I explored the plush blindly. I inhaled deeply, a delightful scent filling my nostrils before breathing out.
Something smells good...
I buried my head into the spikey, yet soft pillow, inhaling more if it's scent, running my right hand through the addicting texture.
"Mmmmm..."I sighed.
More...it's not enough...
A slight rumble came from the spiky plush, vibrating my upper body blissfully.
A massage pillow...? When did I get one of those? I wonder if I pressed a button...
I slid my hand further down the plush, my fingers finding a small indent, before I lightly poked it, searching for the right thing to press lightly.
A low rumble of a sound came from the pillow, a warm gust of air hearing my left ear, making me shudder.
That felt good...maybe if I press it again...
"Ames..." The low growl warned.
It talks...? it sounds just like...
I arched my neck upwards, peeling my eyes opened as the sun glared into them, momentarily blinding me. I blinked to get rid of the annoying glare focusing on the emerald pools that blinked lustfully at me, soft lips agape in the slightest shape of the
/letter 'O' .
"Sonic...?" I asked sleepily.
A lopsided smile spread across his handsome features, as my face warmed with each millisecond that passed.
"Sonic?!" I yelled in surprise, jerking upwards only to feel a sharp pain in my leg.
"Yeowch!" I complained before falling right back onto the plush beneath me.
Sonic grunted at the contact and I panicked.
"Oh my god I'm so sorry! Did I hurt you?"
He chuckled, petting my head. "I'm okay Ames, how's your leg?"
I glanced down at my casted leg and sighed.
That's right, Sonic broke it yesterday...and then...we went to the hospital to get it fixed...and then...
I blinked.
And then what? I don't remember coming home...
I glanced around the unfamiliar room, caramel colored boxes were piled everywhere, making the dark carpet almost invisible. The faded blue walls were in desperate need of painting, the opened wooden closet door creaking as it moved eerily on its own due
/to the slight draft.
"Where am I?" I asked the cobalt hedgehog.
"My apartment?" he smiled awkwardly, scratching the back of his head.
I blinked for a few seconds before nodding slowly. "Does my mom know?"
"Uh, yeah. She's the one who suggested it."
"Now I see why you need my help in here..." I laughed a little, glancing back at him.
His expression portrayed uncertainty, as if he didn't know how to approach or talk to me. I arched a brow at him, and his eyes widened.
"What's wrong?" I asked with a knowing smile.
"You're acting weird.." he confessed. "By now I'm supposed to be suffering from a concussion from your hammer"
"Why would I beat you up for taking care of me? You made it pretty clear that I can trust you Sonic" I shrugged.
"It's up to you what happens to it"
"Are you serious?" he asked slowly, gauging my actions.
"As a heart atta-oof!"
His arms yanked me towards his hard chest, his peach fur tickling my nose. I peeked at him and was shocked to see a single tear easing slowly down his face.
"S-Sonic?"
"You don't know how happy I am right now Ames" he chuckled. "We just needed a little time"
I nodded silently in agreement, wrapping my arms awkwardly around him. "I guess we did..."
A firm knock came at the door, making both of us freeze. I felt the rumble in ? Sonic's chest as he growled. He released me suddenly, making me fall face first into his pillow with a plop.
"Give me a minute" he said shrugging on a shirt.
"Uh...sure? Does a friend of yours have a key here?"
"I wouldn't call them a friend. More of…. an obligation" he said before swinging the door open just as fast as he closed it.
I blinked, arching myself from the bed, hissing at the pain my leg gave off when i tried putting it on the ground. I spotted my crutches just an arm length away and managed to grab them, hoisting myself up. I felt a small amount of pride and confidence
/seeing that i didn't need anyone's help, before I tried walking... The room had begun to feel dizzy, as I began to lean forward slowly.
"Oh, no no no no no!" I wailed before crashing to the ground with a thud, my crutches clattering effortlessly to the ground.
"So much for being independent" I groaned to myself.
A gust of wind tousled my quills around my face and strong arms helped me p again.
"I told you to wait on me Ames"
"No, you said to give you a minute" I stated matter-of-factually, raiding a finger to make my point clear.
He shook his head slowly, his quills shaking effortlessly. "Are you hungry?"
I nodded. "Some food sounds great."
"Cool, I can help you with your crutches after breakfast, so until then-" he said after scooping me in his arms, bridal-style.
"Woah!"I squealed, wrapping my arms immediately around his neck.
"You'll have to bear with me spoiling you a little while longer" he grinned.
I turned my face from his to hide my blush, feeling completely embarrassed to be held so close to him after we practically slept together.
And I had morning breath...
Sonic managed to grab hold f my crutches while carrying me down a flight of stairs leading to his living room/kitchen. We passed another set of doors that I'd guess belonged to the bathroom and maybe a spare. His bare feet padded against the metallic
/stairway, a large arch of a window stretched from floor to ceiling showed of his view of the town, making my heart swell.
"I'd kill for your view" I whispered.
He chuckled, taking the time to admire the scene with me "Got lucky" he said proudly before walking towards the small, yet professional style kitchen. He sat me down on a bar stool and leaned my crutches against the wall.
I took my time admiring the small apartment, and couldn't help but to fall in love with the simple design.
"Whoever designed this place knows how to work with limited space" I marveled.
"I figured you'd like it."
I watched him rummage through he kitchen for supplies, putting each ingredient on the small island. Flour, butter, eggs, bananas...
"Banana Pancakes?" i guessed.
"With hot chocolate" he finished, sending a heart stopping smile my way.
"I doubt they'll top mine" I said confidently.
"I agree, but I'm just trying to show off what Cream taught me" he laughed.
"You've been practicing to cook?" I asked curiously.
"Well, you weren't around to give me muffins, sandwiches and cake. Cream had enough of me starving myself so she taught me my favorites." he said while prepping.
A sting of regret passed through me as i watched him struggle a bit with his food. "I'm sorry, I didn't-"
'It's fine Ames, don't apologize" he reassured me with a half-smile. He brought over a small bowl and two milky white eggs and handed them to me.
"Instead you can beat the eggs, I always over-beat them"
"That's because you're so quick to finish everything" I giggled, rolling my eyes as i took them from him. "Cooking and baking require love and care, that's what makes the dishes taste good"
"I guess that's why all the treats you made me were delicious" he winked.
I bit my lower lip as my muzzle began to warm, cracking the eggs as quickly as possible, beating them at the right pace before pushing it slightly towards him. His laughter rang out through the
Small apartment, bouncing off the walls, and entering that soft spot I had in my heart for it.
He took he bowl and poured the mixture in along with milk, stirring it simultaneously.
"You're not half bad" I commended. He beamed with pride at my statement, spinning the bowl with the spoon alone before tossing it in the air for effect, but failed to catch it, dumping every last bit of the batter on his head.
It was my turn to laugh as he tugged on the bowl, so that it made a profound pop as it came off, only making more of the batter run down his face.
"I-I can't breathe!" I hollered, holding my stomach as my eyes watered.
"I did that on purpose" he mumbled, wiping the mess from his face, his lips set in a pout.
"I'm sure" i laughed.
After regaining my composure, I called him to me, and helped him clean up. The batter had stuck to his quills worse than I'd expected. He had to remove his shirt, and i did my best to stay focused on the task of cleaning him up.
"That's the most I can do with your shirt" I concluded, handing him the ruined T-shirt.
"Ah, I acted completely goofy. I wanted to make you something for once" he sighed.
My heart thudded at his words, and I smiled. "Maybe we can try together his time?"
He parked his head up, eyes gleaming with excitement.
"That's a yes then?" I laughed.
He nodded profoundly, before helping me up and out of the barstool, setting me down in another chair closer to him.
He joked around the table as we prepared breakfast; successfully this time. We had made enough to last a few days, and Sonic placed the leftovers in the fridge.
"Moment of truth" he said handing me the syrup and a fork.
We cut into the fluffy pancakes and stuffed a forkful in our mouths before moaning in union.
'So freaking good" he moaned, stuffing his face with more.
I giggled as he gobbled up his food, setting the empty plate down in triumph.
"See? It tastes better when you put care into it"
"I'm pretty sure we both did" he said softly, caressing my messy quills in his large hand.
I swallowed the lot of food I was chewing, and nodded wordlessly.
"I'm gonna go wash this goop out my hair" he announced.
I blinked back into reality and nodded. "Yea, that's a good idea" I giggled. "Can I have my cell phone so that I can tell mom and the girls that I'm fine?"
"I don't think that's necessary." he smiled slyly heading for the door. "I hope you don't mind by the way." he said turning to me with his hand on the knob
"Mind? Mind what?"
"I may have called a few...friendly faces to come see you" he said before opening the door.
No sooner had he cracked it open in the slightest, he was jolted backwards as the door was pushed effortlessly from the other side.
"Ammmmyyyyyy!" a familiar voice rang out as they ran into my arms, floppy ears hitting my face gently.
"Gee nice to see you too Cream" Sonic muttered while rubbing his shoulder.
No way...
My eyes widened as a two tailed fox walked in, exchanging a brotherly hug with Sonic, A dressed down curvy bat, sashaying her way towards me with a broad smile, and a large red enchinda, grinning from ear to ear, his arms tucked behind his head.
Cream pulled away from me momentarily, and her chocolate eyes matched mine as they were brimming over in tears.
"Am I dreaming right now?" I choked as I watched each of them.
"Dreaming's for babies sugar, and as you can see, we're not babies anymore" Rouge smiled before planting a kiss on my cheek.
I was overwhelmed with happiness as my old gang picked up where we left off, I was scolded a bit for leaving, but it didn't last long. A series of hugs and laughter zoomed by, when it all was suddenly put to a halt when Sonic came back downstairs.
"Alright gang, let's get down to business"
"To defeat-"
"Knuckles I swear to God if you finish it ,I'll knock your brains into next week" Rouge said in annoyance.
"Now whose the violent one?" He grumbled.
I giggled a bit, it slowly cascaded into a frown when I saw the seriousness in everyone's faces.
"Ames"
I cast my gaze over to Sonic. "Mhm?"
"We have something serious to tell you"
"By the looks of it." I agreed.
"It's about your dad Amy..."Cream began.
Ahh, did they come to check up on me because of that? They haven't before so...
"Don't worry about my Dad. He's fine. He sent his first mail just after he arrived. I'm getting one tomorrow"
"Sugar, it's not his letters we're worried about here" Rouge sighed.
"She's right, he's been put in serious danger-Ow!"
Rouge inhaled and exhaled. "Wait."
"I swear to God if you hit me one more-"
"He's been put out on the front lines " Sonic explained.
Oh God.
I shifted a bit in my chair. "He's a good soldier, and he's been put on the front lines countless times."
Not that I was happy in the times that he was. That only stressed mom out more.
"I don't think you understand Amy..."Cream said a bit worried.
"Then tell me!"I yelled impatiently.
"He's been put in the spot you used to be, you know...with us..."
I froze.
"Who the fuck put him there?!" I demanded, shooting my accusing glare around the room.
"I did" a new voice to the conversation declared. I snapped my attention to the door, my anger raging at the sight of her.
"Why?" I demanded, glaring at the squirrel.
She shut the front door behind her, casually walking through my group of friends and ex-teammates, mentally shoving Sonic aside.
"Because you abandoned your duties Amelia. And by law, if you walk out like that, someone else bearing your last name will take your place."
I knew that.
"So why didn't someone call me back? That was the most sensible thing to do"
I saw Sonic stiffen, just as Sally smirked at him as if she had won some battle between them.
"That was my intention all along, however, Sonic thought it be best to take his time to-"
"Sonic thought about your feelings first Amy" Tails defended. "He didn't want to spring it on you as soon as he got here just to pull you into battle again after five years of being quiet and normal."
"That's right!" Cream joined in, she stood from the couch she had settled on before, standing a generous amount of inches taller than I last remembered. Her little indents of curves made her look more mature and beautiful.
"You can't just barge in and ask to regain combat, even Mr. Rose agreed too taking it slow."
"She would not have been stable in Battle princess, we all knew that. It took Sonic at max, two days just to get here, he was fast enough to get here in time to bring Amy back. It took you a week. We aren't behind schedule here." Rouge added.
"Mr. Rose was agreeable in all of it, from the day she left up until now. If your gonna tell a story Sally, tell the entire thing." Knuckled finished with an annoyed look.
Sonics large hand held mine protectively. "It's a lot to take in. That's why I wanted you to ease into it, I know I should have asked first but I-"
"No." I said shaking me head, I met his eyes and smiled sadly. "I'm glad you did it the way you did"
"Y-you are?" Sonic said, relief washing over his features.
The fact that Sonic put my feelings first, made me smile reassuringly to him.
His warm embrace was the next thing that greeted me; I didn't hesitate to wrap my arms around him, secretly inhaling his fresh scent.
"Aww look at that, I guess we were right" Knuckles chuckled proudly.
"Right about what?" I asked letting Sonic go slowly.
"Well about Sonic fall-Yeowch!" He bellowed as Rouge pinched his sides.
"What did I say about you talking too much?!"
Creams face broke out in a sly grin, sending it Sonics way before he coughed in his gloved hand, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
I blinked. "You fell?" I asked him curiously.
"Yeah he did, he fell hard!" Knuckles guffawed.
"Well" Sally interrupted, clearing her throat rather loudly. I looked in her direction in surprise...
I completely forgot she was still here...
(( So did I ?))
"If you're aware of the situation, you do know what that means?" She asked with her arms folded across her chest.
"I'm on the Sonic Team again?"
"You were never considered an outsider Ames..." Sonic said with a shy smile. "You'll always be one of us."
I glanced around the room, all but Sally were smiling at me or giving me a reassuring nod.
"So what do you say? Ready to kick butt with us again?" Tails asked excitedly.
"Heck, I always wanted to be a freedom fighter." I shrugged, a nostalgic sense drifting to me as everyone welcomed me back.
I took notice of Sonics warm smile and laughter, and I hadn't realized how much I missed it. Clover as the others joined us after a while, Blaze was a blushing mess when silver joined and I couldn't help but to smile over her crush on him. It was nice
/to see everyone acquainted with one another, except for Sally, she had cornered herself with her computer and was too busy to notice anyone.
I hobbled over to her, my palms clammy from gripping the crutches too tight. When I approached her, I cleared my throat and she glanced up in annoyance.
"Yes Amelia?" She sighed
It felt like she was talking to me like I was five.
"I'm just-look we don't get along but I know we have to if we're fighting together."
"I wouldn't want it any other way. If there is heat between us it would damage everyone's efforts" she said
"Right, but I was thinking to have a truce-"
"I never said I wanted to be friends with you." She said cutting me off.
I blinked at her harsh words, my chest constricting as my nerves continued to grow.
"I don't-"
"Understand this Amelia, you are the reason Sonic is so distracted in his work, and resentful against me, his fiancée. If you can't understand the seriousness between Sonic and I, then you haven't really grown up yet." She finished, gathering
/herself before sashaying away from me.
I stood there dumbfounded before a hand was placed on my shoulder, bringing me back to reality.
"Clo?"
"It took everything in me not to set Flora on her Royal bitch ass" she growled.
"Where did Sonic go?" I asked searching the apartment for him with my eyes.
"Her Royal bitchiness took him outside to talk" Blaze said coming up to us with a plate full of pancakes.
"Did you guys know Silver has the most gorgeous eyes?"
"Did you know taking foo from a strangers fridge is call stealing?" Clo asked.
"It's not stealing if Amy made it"
I giggled at my friends' banter, and casted my gaze at the front door.
An unsettling feeling clouded my chest as I sighed, grabbing the attention of the squabbling pair.
"Uh oh" Clo said with a smirk.
"Uh oh?" I asked in confusion. "Why Uh oh?"
"Someone's falling for the Bluuueee booooyyy" Blaze teased.
"Wh-What?" I stuttered, heat warming my muzzle. "Did you forget he's engaged to that-Sally?" I quickly corrected.
"That never stopped anyone before" Clo shrugged.
"That's true, he's not lost until he says "I do" to his indefinite doom" Blaze teased.
" I'm not some reality TV show guys"
"No, no. But you are in love" Clo smirked.
"No I'm not! I just...missed him" I confessed.
"Like you missed everyone in this room right?" Clo asked
"Exactly."
"So why haven't you realized that everyone else went outside too?" Blaze giggled.
Sure enough, the apartment was empty besides us three. My ears joined my muzzle and I was pretty sure my entire face was on fire.
The girls laughed their asses off, gasping for breath.
They caught me red handed.
Er,red faced
Finished!
Did you like it? Love it?
I had to cut it in two parts because it was getting pretty long.
