Hello Again! Slow updates, sorry! I have several reviews and PM's letting me know the chapter were somewhat lacking in detail, so I've been fixing things and what not. This is actually the last chapter I have that's alreay written so updates might come slower. If I could, I would write all the time, but the year is coming to a close, which mean college picks now to load me down with work.
Feel free to skip this paragraph, I just want to thank all my reviewers. Tailsisreal (Things best forgotten, Incest, and Lethal Mutation are all fantastic, and I love the communication between us.), Asher Tye, Nicend (too far to come back, and I'm not a hero are wonderful. Also wanted to thank you for taking that burden off of me lol, you know. I'm happy with how you handled it.), Spaz411, Shika kev Prower (I love depression of the Kitsune, by the way.), Kilatails (Your reviews are adorable, keep them coming) You'veBeenJayed. I think that's it, if I missed anyone I'm genuinely sorry.
Okay, on to the story.
Sonic woke up the next morning to find his little kit brother cuddled up next to him. He didn't quite understand how he was going to dump him off and be rid of him just a few hours ago, but now felt such a strong affection for him. When he first realized who he was, sorrow flooded through him, for he knew what the fox must of gone through in his life. Now Sonic felt like he had an obligation to take care of, to protect, him; just like he felt about other helpless Mobians. This feeling was different though, he felt obligated to help Mobians because he could. He felt obligated to help Tails, however, because he loved him
Sonic laid there thinking about how different his life would be now. He would have company other than Amy now, which didn't bother him at all… girl talk bored him. The only negative aspect about Tails being here was that it made him a target for Robotnik. "Robotnik is an asshole, but he would never go after Tails… he isn't a threat to him." Sonic tried to reassure himself.
Sonic felt something stirring and looked over to see Tails waking up. The kit opened his eyes slowly and let out a yawn which exposed a tiny row of sharp teeth. When he saw Sonic, he smiled and wagged his Tails.
"What's with you?" Sonic asked smiling down at him.
"Nothing…I just thought it might have been a dream."
Sonic was about to ask what dream he was talking about but figured it out before he could ask. "Don't worry buddy, this is all real." Sonic said to himself mostly, laying on his back and looking at the ceiling. After a few minutes he heard Tails stomach growling again. "Come on buddy, lets get some breakfast."
After a large meal (in which Sonic was shocked at how much the kit could throw back) Sonic decided to show the kit his plane. It had been broken down for months now, and Sonic tried to fix it but to no avail. Still, he thought it would something neat for a kid to see.
"I love planes, I really do. Flying feels great, with the wind in your face…" Tails said upon seeing the old plane.
"Well this ole' junker isn't going to take to the sky's anytime soon." Sonic joked. Suddenly Sonic saw something he never expected to see. Tails flew up, sat on the plane, and lifted the casing fro the engine.
"Y-you can fly?!" Sonic yelled out in shock.
Tails didn't stop staring the engine over but said "What did you think I meant when I said I love flying?"
"I thought you meant in planes!"
"I never said I flew in a plane…I just said I loved planes." Tails said, now using some nearby tools to tinker with the engine. Having been able to fly for most of his life, he wasn't quite sure why this was such a shock to Sonic. Nobody had ever told him the foxes weren't suppose to fly.
It took a second for the shock to wear off of Sonic before he realized that his little brother was playing with power tool. "Hey…those are dangerous." He tried to argue.
"Finished." Tails said simply.
"Playing with the power tools?" Sonic asked slowly, still in shock.
Tails moved to the cock pit and started the plane up. The propeller began to spin for the first time in months, signaling a repaired engine.
"You fixed my…you never told me you could fix stuff…" Sonic said happily, having seen his prized plane come to life after months of being broken down.
"Well you never asked me." Tails said, in a genuinely shocked voice, without a hint of sarcasm.
"Okay…you can fly and you're apparently some sort of super genius…" Sonic said as Tails blushed, "is there anything else I need to know."
"Hmm…" Tails said scratching his chin. "That's pretty much it, except…well I do like mint candy."
"That's it? You can't like shoot lasers from your eyes or anything weird like that?" Sonic joked. "I can't believe you fixed my plane…" Sonic said now turning his attention over to it.
"I feel like I needed to repay you, for…" Tails drifted off at the end.
"For what?" Sonic asked, looking over his shoulder.
"For…loving me." Tails said embarrassed.
Sonics heart nearly exploded in his chest, "Does this kid think of cute things to say, or does it come naturally?" He asked himself. "You don't need to pay me back…I'm not loving you as a favor or anything, I didn't have a choice in the matter." Sonic joked pulling his brother in a one armed hug. "Come on, I have some mint ice cream in the fridge."
"We just ate…" Tails reminded him.
Sonic smiled at him, "There's always room for ice cream."
"I knew it." Amy said having just walked in and seeing the fox sitting on the couch cross legged, slowly wagging his tails, with a bowl full of ice cream.
"Oh, hi Amy." Sonic said just seeing his guest (who let herself in). "Come meet the kid."
"Sonic, you are so predictable." Amy said walking over to the couch.
"Hey there little guy." She said in a baby like voice with her hand on her knees. Tails just looked at Sonic, who was sitting on the other side of the room, with raised eyebrows as if to say "Really?"
Sonic chuckled, "He's not a baby Ames. He's actually very mature for his age, and smart too."
"Oh…sorry." She said, embarrassed, extending her hand to the kitsune. "My name's Amy- ah! What is that!" She yelled, pointing to his second Tails, having just noticed it.
"That's my tail." He answered simply.
"Well then…what's that?" She said pointing to the other one.
"That's also my tail. I have two of them." Tails said, a little sad at the expression on Amy's face.
Wanting to break the tension, Sonic asked, "Hey Ames, I was about to show the kid how to play hide and seek…do you want to play?"
Amy didn't consider hide and seek a very mature game, but jumped on the opportunity to spend time with Sonic.
"Okay Tails, this is an easy game. I'm going to count to ten, while you hide. You're job is to run back to base before I catch you. Easy?" He asked with a smile.
"Sounds like fun!" Tails responded with a wide grin.
"Okay, go hide. One…two…" Sonic began counting, as Tails and Amy ran off to hide.
Tails flew up and hid in a tree. He sat on a branch, content in knowing Sonic wouldn't find him up there.
"You're it!" Robotnik shouted grabbing the foxes throat and covering his mouth with his free hand. Tails struggled against the sudden attack, but was powerless to fight him off. "Nap time!" Robotnik said playfully and he pulled out a rag with a strange smelling chemical on it.
Tails eyes grew heavy and he found sleep irresistible. He desperately tried to shout out Sonic's name but everything turned black.
