Ch.9

"Amy," I heard a male voice say, something shaking my shoulder. I mumbled something, snuggling deeper into my pillow. The guy chuckled. "C'mon, wake up real quick," he said. I put the pillow over my head. "Wake up thing two," he said, starting to tickle me. I moved his hands away. "It's Saturday Sonic, leave me alone," I said.

"Goth girl told me to wake you up so you could take your medicine," he said. I opened my eyes reluctantly.

"What are you even doing here?"

"My mom asked Goth girl if we could stay here for a while."

"Why?"

"I don't know," he smiled, "but looks like we're room neighbors." I groaned, closing my eyes but opened them again. He chuckled.

"C'mon, won't be that bad."

"That's what you think." He smiled, putting his hand on my forehead, but it faded quickly.

"You're burning up Amy, you sure you're okay?"

"I'm wrapped up in a million blankets, how am I not going to be hot?" He smiled.

"You never play along with my jokes."

"Whatever," I said, closing my eyes again.

"Ames, don't you fall back to sleep on me," he said. I opened my eyes and sat up.

"Alright, alright." He smiled at me. "Don't give me that smile, Sonic, it's creepy." He chuckled as he shook my pills into my hand. I popped them in my mouth. I washed the pills down with my water bottle that was on my nightstand. Sonic kept staring at me.

"What, trash rat," I asked.

"I was just thinking about how adorable you are when you're tired and grumpy," he replied, grinning. I shoved his shoulder.

"Shutup Sonic." I lay back down, still facing him.

"Move over."

"What?"

"I said move over." I moved over, making room for him, reluctantly. He climbed under the covers and lay down to face me. "It's hot down here," he joked.

"Told ya." He started to stroke my cheek. I pushed his hand away. "Sonic," I whined.

"Babe," he replied, mocking me.

"Stop calling me that, we don't go out anymore." His eyes looked hurt from my words.

"But I… Never mind."

"You what?"

"Nothing." I sighed.

"What did you come in here for?"

"I don't know, just wanted to spend time with you."

"Since when did you want to do that?"

"A while," he whispered. I looked down. His hand went back up to my cheek to push some of my hair away. I bit my lip nervously. What could I say to that? I looked up again when he fidgeted. He had propped up on his shoulder, his head lying in his palm. His eyes were looking out the window. "Sonic," I said. His eyes flicked to me quickly.

"Yea."

"Um, I meant to ask how you found me the other night."

"I overheard the conversation so I followed you. I watched the whole date. When I saw him slip the stuff in your soda, I knew something bad was going to happen."

"You watched the whole date?"

"Yup, how could you like him?"

"He's a rebel, what kind of girl doesn't like that kind of guy."

"Mhm," his eyes wandered back to outside world.

"You don't have to stay here you know."

"Your point," his eyes went back to me, his lips turning up into a grin.

"You're so hard to read Sonic." He chuckled.

"That's everybody Ames; you're just good at reading."

"Maybe." He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me closer. I leaned my head into his chest. I closed my eyes, inhaling his scent.

"Comfy," he asked, a smile in his voice.

"No I'm tired and you're warm," I replied. I felt him chuckle. I snuggled into his chest, curling up.

"You're really trapping me here aren't you?"

"Yea, you're warm," I said, putting my arm on his stomach, gripping his shirt. He turned onto his side and crushed me to him.

"Warmer now," he whispered in my ear.

"Yea," I said. I felt my weariness grow and I slowly slipped into unconsciousness.

"This is the second time you two have slept in the same bed," Crystal said. We were on the couch in the living room, playing Uno.

"He decided to stay there."

"The Amy I know would've pushed him onto the floor."

"I know, but he was just so warm."

"Warm?"

"I was half sleep."

"So you say." Sonic walked into the room and sat between us, sitting on our pile of cards. He put his arms over our shoulders.

"How are my girls doing today," he asked, grinning at us. Crystal shook his arm off. I shrugged his off softly, giving him a look.

"How's our idiot doing today," I said. He shoved me. I hit his arm.

"Okay, if you guys are going to start boo loving, then I'll go early to Dante's house. See you guys later," Crystal said, walking out the room. I leaned back, crossing my arms, not looking at Sonic.

"What's wrong babe," he asked.

"Why do you keep calling me that?"

"Because."

"Not an answer."

"Well to me it is."

"Whatever," I said, getting up.

"Are you mad," he asked, getting up.

"No," I said, sitting back down. He sat back down to.

"Then what's wrong?"

"Nothing, Sonic. I just got off my medicine; I'm a little out of it."

"Oh." His hand went to tuck a strand of my hair behind my ear. I blushed, looking down. He tilted my head back up and his finger started to make circles in my cheek. His fingers stroked my face for a while. "What are you doing," I finally asked. He shrugged.

"You're just really pretty," he said. His eyes suddenly looked surprised. "Did I just say that out loud," he asked.

"Uh yea," I said, my cheeks a dark red. His cheeks turned a pale pink as he looked down, his hands pulling away from my face. I looked down to. I wanted to tell him how much I liked his attention but I was too scared to even admit to myself that I was actually falling in love with him. I looked up to see his green pools staring at me intently.

"What," I asked, smiling unconsciously. He shook his head, not smiling back. He put his hand under the corner of my jaw, pulling me toward him. My smile faded as I got closer to him. He bought my lips to his. This was so not how old times were! His lips started to mold mine softly, his arms wrapping around me. I felt my eyes closing as my emotions took over. I kissed him back gently, my arms wrapping around his neck. He deepened the kiss as he pulled me closer. One of my hands tangled themselves up in his quills, keeping him close. I pulled away after a while. I didn't know what to think. "Amy, you okay," Sonic asked suddenly. I noticed I was shaking, tears coming out my eyes. I shook my head, biting my lip to keep me from screaming. "Ames what is it, you have to tell me. Did I do something wrong," he asked. I shook my head.

"I- I have bone disorder where some part of my bones get really weak and start to hurt massively at unexpected times," I managed to whisper. Sonic pulled away, but I held him close. "Don't leave me," I whispered. He sighed.

"I'm not Ames. I just want to make sure you're comfortable."

"I'm comfy right here," I protested.

"Where does it hurt?"

"I don't know. It just makes my whole body hurt."

"You have medicine?"

"The bathroom in the mirror cabinet in the pink bottle."

"Okay, I'll be right back, don't worry," he said before kissing my forehead and running upstairs. I gripped the couch, my head hurting even worse. Sonic came back downstairs quickly. He sat back down and popped the two pills into my mouth. He also handed me the bottle of water that was on my nightstand. I drank the pills down. "What happens now," Sonic asked.

"The meds will take over soon, but we just wait for now."

"Okay." He pulled me closer to him, settling me on his lap. I leaned my head into his shoulder. He started humming a mindless tune. It was random but it helped me relax. I felt the pain fade away. I closed my eyes. "It's over," I whispered. Sonic's arms only tightened around me.

"I love you," he whispered. I looked up, surprised.

"You what? Do you just say the L word to me?"

"How is that so hard to believe Amy?"

"I just thought…"

"Well I love you."

"I really like you too." He smiled.

"You make me say the L word and I get is 'I really like you too'? I think I deserve better." I giggled.

"I love you too Sonic." He smiled wider at me. I smiled too. He leaned in to kiss my lips softly.

Aww they said the L word. PLEASE REVIEW!
