Chapter 9: Pink. Bubbly. Nosey.
A deep sigh passed the girls lips, ever since her hero darted off she lay on her bedroom floor, forearm over her eyes as she tried to think, think of a way for the blue boy and his lover to be happy again. But what? What could she do to make them realise that spilled breakfast wasn't the end of the world.
She removed her arm from her face and let it rest on her chest, her fingers drumming against it gently as she tried to think. "I'm the one who adores romance, why can't I even think of something romantic for them?" she groaned in annoyance, when it came to trying to win Sonic's heart, she had no problem with things like this. Then an idea struck her and she sat up quickly. "I know, I'll just pretend it's me trying to make up with Sonikku, but I'll let Silver-kun do the work. Gosh, I never knew I could be smart and this good looking." She giggled as she flicked back her long pink hair.
"But what to do? Bake? Nah, Silver does that all the time. Hmmm, clean the house for him? Mmmm, effort. Hmmm, what else." The pink hedgehog tapped her index finger against her chin as she tried to think. "What else would I do for him? Come on Amy, think, think, think. Hmmmm."Jade eyes scanned the pink bedroom, as if there would be something there that could provide the answer for her question.
Finally her eyes landed on her wardrobe, with a tilt of her head she gave a confused look, but that quickly was replaced with a look of excitement as she finally figured out what she would do. "Dress up!" she cried and darted to the wardrobe and flung open the doors, on the left side were all her everyday clothes, and on the right were all the outfits she never got the chance to wear for Sonic.
Her eyes lit up and she quickly grabbed all of the outfits on the right hand side and put them on her bed. "Ooohh this will be fun!" she squealed as she rummaged through the outfits, trying to decide which she could make her victim- err I mean, friend, Silver wear, to make Sonic melt.
While the hyper girl continued her search for the right outfit for ivory friend, said ivory hedgehog was sitting in the waiting area of the local hospital. Shadow had gone to find a doctor, or a nurse, anyone with medical knowledge. He left Silver in the waiting area, feeling sure that he would be alright, nothing could happen to him, too many people were present, and there were some police officers near by. He should be safe.
The ivory hedgehog didn't like the fact he was left here alone, he didn't find comfort in being around all these other people, since the majority were coughing their lungs up, shouting, complaining, causing scenes. Even seeing the police their didn't put his mind at ease. 'How long is he going to be?' he thought as he bit his lip. He hoped he hadn't been abandoned again. That thought was soon put to rest when the black hedgehog returned, much to the boys utter relief, but he then grew nervous when he saw a grey female tabby feline behind him.
Shadow could see his beloved's nervousness and gently took hold of his hand. "It's alright, Silver. This is Monica, she's a nurse, see? Not a doctor."
The nurse gave a warm smile and stood in front of the boy. "As your friend, Shadow said, my name is Monica. You don't need to worry, Silver, your are in safe hands, I promise. So I'm going to be looking after you during your examination. Alright?" The boy looked up at the nurse, and was sort of put at ease. She seemed nice, she was making an effort to make him feel better about being here.
The ebony hedgehog gently stroked his thumb over the boys palm. "Are you ready, Silver?" he asked softly. He'd been careful with his tone now, not wanting to make the boy feel intimidated by him. Ebony ears twitch at the sound of a soft sigh coming from the boy. "Y-yeah, I-I-I'm ready."
The tabby smiled and nodded. "Alright now, if you would like to follow me." She said and was about to turn away but stopped when the ivory boy spoke up. "W-wait! Sh-Shadow-kun, c-can be in there wi-ith me to? I-I don't like hospitals." He stuttered, amber eyes wide with slight fear. This put the nurse in an awkward position, in most cases it would preferred if the patient were alone, to stop a relative from acting out and becoming violent. But with desperate and fearful look the boy was giving, she just didn't have the heart to say no.
The nurse gave a sympathetic smile. "O-of course he can, he can be your encouragement, I suppose." Hearing this made the albino relax somewhat, and he squeezed the other hedgehogs hand tighter. "Ok then, l-lets go." Monica nodded "Follow me please." She spoke before turning away and walking off, the ebony and ivory hedgehogs not too far behind her.
They soon ended up in a big enough room, there was just one bed, with various life support machines, drips, medicine cabinets around the room. "Here we are, Silver. There is a hospital gown on the bed for you. Please stay here, there is something I need to get for our examination." Both hedgehogs nodded, and the feline left. Silver inhaled deeply as he walked over to the bed and picked up the gown.
"Do I really need to wear this? I mean, I don't wear clothes already." He huffed and threw the gown back on the bed. The ebony hedgehog couldn't help but be slightly amused by the sight of the boy acting like a spoiled child. He couldn't help but notice that even though the boy refused to smile, that pout of his was simply adorable. Shadow followed the boy over to the bed and picked up the gown. "Come now, I know it seems silly, but, this garment is required, at least for this examination. Please wear it. You need to be looked at, Silver."
The white hedgehog only stared at the black hedgehog. " I don't even know why I'm here anymore. I've forgotten. So, I'm fine, now lets go home, we have muffins to eat." He chirped and made a move to leave but was stopped by the stubborn ebony hedgehog. "Shadow, please, can't we go home. I-I mean, Sonikku doesn't even know where I am." "Good." "Huh?" The ebony hedgehog gently gripped the boys shoulders, crimson eyes staring straight into frightened amber. Why couldn't Silver understand? Sonic was what he NEEDED to get AWAY from. Why was he still believing his own silly lie.
"Silver, I think you know, deep within your heart, why you need this. You know why you can't see that FAKER! He hurt you, forced himself on you, took something precious from you. He-" "No!" the boy yelled, much to the shock of the older hedgehog. "Silver….." The ivory hedgehog closed his eyes, his fists clenched and his body trembled. "No, s-stop saying things like that. S-Sonikku, he, he didn't mean to. Your right, I was lieing, o-only because I forgot, that I deserved it in the first place." Shadow was now just beyond shocked. The poor boy thought he deserved it? What the hell was he talking about?
"I deserved it. I must have. He must have been upset with me, a-and although it wasn't nice at the time, I realise why he needed to hurt me. He just wanted me to know that I was out of line. I-I'm fine with that, because I know he it was just my fault, I made him angry enough to do it. S-so, it's ok." The boy spoke softly, as tears began to form in his eyes. However, he still managed a genuine smile. He gently removed the ebony hogs hands from his shoulders. "I-I'm sorry for wasting your time, I really am."
Shadow was still at a loss for words. Did he really hear all of that correctly? Silver was blaming himself? He thought he deserved that type of punishment? The more he thought about it, the more his blood boiled, and he felt the rage bubbling inside of him. But he refused to let it take over, he didn't want to scare the boy. Inhaling deeply through his nose, the ebony hog closed his eyes as he spoke. "Silver, please be reasonable." He opened his eyes, crimson orbs staring deeply into amber.
The ivory boy just continued to smile. "I-I am, it was all for my own good. So, ah, I thank you Shadow, b-but I need to find Sonikku now." He spoke softly, as he turned to leave, but stopped when the nurse came back in with a box in her hands. "Alright now, I have everything we need, so, um? Silver? Why aren't you in the gown?"
"Oh, it's ok, I don't need the examination after all. I'm sorry, for annoying you, Monica. Bye, bye." He chirped as he casually walked passed the confused nurse and out the door. The tabby turned her gaze towards the ebony hedgehog, who just shook his head. "He's in denial. I apologise for taking up your time." He sighed and bowed his head, before going after the boy.
The poor nurse was left alone, feeling a great deal of sympathy for the hedgehog. "That poor boy." She whispered softly and left the room.
