He pointed to his cheek, with a smirk. "Here."

She crossed her arms. "And what if I don't want to?"

"Come on, you always want to!"

"Well... What if I don't right now?"

She was being difficult. And he rolled his eyes, bringing his hand down from his cheek. "Then I'll have to go find some other girl to kiss it." He simply shrugged, and inwardly smiled when she glared daggers into him.

"You wouldn't."

"Oh but I would." And he took off, leaving the girl in a swirling gust of dismay, purely dumbfounded. Was he really gone? That easy? It was raining! Where was he going to go to find another girl? Why would he go and find another girl?...

Her anger flared up again, her cheeks burning hot with anger, and slight envy. How dare he? She had been crying not even 5 minutes ago! The streaks still stained her paled muzzle. And even new tears pricked the corners of her eyes, threatening to break the barrier and spill over her cheeks at any moment. Her anger seemed to just dissipate into pure heartbreak. Did he think he was scot-free? Wasn't he even going to stay?

She guess not, and the tears flowed, running down her muzzle, and dripping off her chin. What was his problem?

She turned herself, aiming to slump down upon the couch when the door swung open, a now- once again- wet hedgehog standing victoriously. She stopped dead in her tracks, suddenly afraid to turn around, afraid to let him see she had doubted him. But could you blame her for it?

"I got you- are you... Crying?" He suddenly rushed back up to her, mumbling various sayings along the lines of "I'm sorry" or "I'm such an idiot." But her eyes focused on what he was holding- other than her.

A rose, sparkling wth raindrops upon its petals. It was fully bloomed and quite beautiful to say the least. Had he gotten this... For her?

"S-Sonic?" He pulled himself away from her at the sound of her voice. And saw her staring at the rose. Her eyes slowly trailed from the flower to his eyes, the tears no longer there. "Is that... For me?"

"Uh..." Suddenly he felt bashful, and stuck one hand up into his quills, a blush just barely dusting across his cheeks. "Yeah... I thought... Maybe it would cheer you up?"

She suddenly pounced on him, and he nearly lost his balance. He was holding both of their weight- hers being actually quite insignificant, she was really light- since both of her legs lifted into the air. She had quite literally jumped on the hedgehog. And he chuckled when she started laying kisses all over his face, as soon as her feet had touched the ground again.

He felt a little disappointed when she stopped. But the way he found her jade eyes staring at him in the most awestruck fashion, he felt better. In fact... He felt himself leaning towards her. Cupping her chin and lifting it so their lips could meet.

And he had to admit- they both did- it was amazing. It wasn't sloppy, or messy, or overly complicated. It was just a simple kiss. No tongue, just... A sweet kiss. And when he pulled his face away, and rested his forehead against her own, he realized something.

He had been such an idiot.
