A/N: Sorry this one took a while, I've been very, very busy. I hope everyone had a great New Year and holidays. Thank you all for the support, follows, favourites and reviews. They mean a lot. Don't forget to review, they really help! Anyway, enjoy chapter 11
Chapter 11:
Damp Days
Sonic stood atop the grassy plain, the cool, evening wind flew through his quills, making them dance on the gentle flurries. Tails struggled up the hill after him, his legs weak, like jelly in the presence of his sapphire hero. Tails lifted up his chin, eyes glued to the muscular, yet slightly lanky physique of Sonic. He looked so beautiful, his eyes peering off into the horizon, watching the blazing sphere of heat sink below the low lining hills and the large, individual strands of long, green grass mixing in with his ankles. Tails' heart basically skipped a beat when Sonic turned his head to glance at the golden kitsune, slightly increasing his pace now to reach the top of the hill. The world seemed to fall away, drained of all colour but him, standing bathed in the orange tinge of the setting sun.
It seemed like eons as Tails drew ever closer to the one he idolized so, but in reality it had only been few seconds. As he eventually made it to the top of the hill, Sonic reached out his hands, silently signaling his love to come closer without needed to squeak a sound. A small smirk crossed the cobalt hedgehog's muzzle as he awaited his love. An array of lovely, pink cherry blossom leaves floated down around them as the two were bathed in sunlight. Sonic placed his hand on Tails' cheek, who nestled it into the warm palm of Sonic. Sonic pulled the kit closer and pressed his sweet lips against his, expertly combining firmness, subtlety and softness in the passionate display of affection. Sonic was so good at it, swishing his tongue tantalizingly around in Tails' mouth, causing an immense amount of pleasure. The golden fox shuddered in delight, shivering from the sexual satisfaction he felt completely consume his body. An amazing, indescribable, incredible feeling rushed through his body, filling his insides completely from the tip of his curved, pointed ears to the end of his white-tipped twin-tails. He closed his eyes and let this pleasure flood out of him.
"Damn, not again," Tails whined, sitting up in his bed and rubbing the sleep out of his eye. He glanced over to his bedside clock, noting that it was only 3 in the morning. Tails quietly slipped out from the warmness his covers, being careful to avoid the wet patch that had soaked into his sheets as he walked over to draw a bath. Tails sighed softly, quietly ripping off his sheets from his bed and soaking them in the tub before hanging them on a nearby heater. Tails then opened his draw, taking out the last of his sheets and re-making his bed. Through the whole ordeal, he made sure to be no louder than a sneaky mouse running about the house.
'Why does this keep happening to me? Third time this week,' he sighed to himself, collapsing back on the freshly made bed and wrapping the blankets around him, cocooning himself in their warm, inviting heat. He was so sick of constantly having these stupid wet dreams, but no matter what he tried, nothing would fix his issue. He decided to talk to Sonic to hopefully learn about some way that he could solve this as soon as possible. 'At least school ends tomorrow,' he finally smiled, drifting off into the land of dreams a second time that night.
"And don't forget to read your assigned books over the winter break. I'll see you all bright and early next year. Happy holidays everybody," Rogue beamed, finishing her last syllable at the same moment that the bell chimed, indicating the end of the school day, and school year.
Cheers erupted from the teenagers like a volcano, echoing around the room and through the suddenly noisy hallways. Hands flew up in the air, papers began flying, tossed away by carefree students and dancing was had as all the children rushed out of the room.
"Sonic, wait up," Tails moaned, trying, and failing, to push through the crowds of merry people who clogged up the hallway, separating the two friends at their lockers.
"I'll meet you at the park like we promised we'd do at the end of school," Sonic yelled over the roar of the crowded people as his white, gloved hand slowly dissolved into the sea of different coloured shirts.
Tails turned to his locker, unzipping the top of his bag and pulling all the remaining books, stationary and his school laptop haphazardly into the depths of his bag. He slammed his locker closed, locking it up after him and hoisted his pack onto his back.
"Hey Tails," a quiet, shy voice addressed him, barely audible over the chatter of everybody else. Tails turned his head to see the small rabbit standing next to him, rubbing her foot awkwardly against her bare ankle, due to her rolled up jeans that she wore that day.
"Oh, hey Cream. What's up?" Tails smiled in reply, turning to walk down the hall and out of the school with her.
"I need to talk to you about last weekend," she began. "When we were dancing, you seemed kind of distant and sad…"
"I just had a lot on my mind that night, I'm sorry," Tails interrupted, hurrying his pace, excited to meet up with Sonic again.
"No, it's not that. I just wanted to talk about what we did last night. The kiss we shared. Basically," she paused, unable to finish her sentence.
"Tails, over here," a violet cat motioned with her hand at the other end of the messy hallway, holding open the big, glass doors for her friend who hurried along to meet up with her. "See you around, Cream," Tails called, waving as he ran away.
"I just wanted to say that I love you," Cream finished, holding back tears that pounded against her eyelids. She hung her head, looking at the floor as she began to slide the soles of her shoes across the tiled floor. Unfortunately, she wasn't loud enough when voicing her opinion and the two tailed fox which she adored so much couldn't hear her and left.
Blaze and Tails walked side by side, exchanging basic talk about what each other had planned for the New Year's break and Christmas time until the topic of conversation suddenly turned to Tails' love life.
"sooooo, like anybody yet?" Blaze asked seemingly out of the blue, but in reality she had planned to have this conversation with Tails for a while now.
"Ummmm…" Tails mumbled, avoiding eye contact with the cat.
"I knew it! What's her name?" She questioned, a smirk crossing her face. Tails grimaced slightly at the word 'her'. If only he could tell Blaze the truth. If only he could reveal that his love was a guy. Was his best friend. Was Sonic. But alas, he could not reveal this truth or he would surely be killed or abandoned by everyone.
"N-Nobody," he stuttered but Blaze was clearly not planning to give up anytime soon.
"Come on Tails, I thought we were good friends. Don't you trust me?" she pouted, making fake crying sounds as a joke to try to guilt Tails into telling her. Luckily, Silver appeared around the corner, physically bumping into Tails as he rounded it.
"Sorry," he apologized as Tails rubbed his forehead, trying to sedate the sudden rush of pain he felt as a small, red mark was left, staining his fur.
"Blaze, quick, I have a surprise for you," he blurted out, hardly containing the excitement that was plastered all over his face. He gripped her wrist and ran off with her in tail, matching his pace.
"This conversation isn't over," she mocked playfully as she looked back at Tails who was noticeably relieved that Silver had shown up when he did.
Tails continued along his path, letting his thoughts wonder to fantasize about the blue hero whilst his legs subconsciously carried him, like a leaf on the wind, to the large, rolling hills near the southern ocean of the Mobian community.
By the time Tails snapped back into reality and realized where his subconscious had been taking him, he had already reached the bottom of the thick, old, wooden trunk of the large oak tree that was situated atop the grassy mound.
The snow was still stacked high as the stormy weather never ceased throughout the whole week, but as Tails knelt down, resting against the base of the tree under the shade produced by the large leaves, he didn't mind the cold sting of the snowflakes. He brushed aside the white carpet of snow that blanketed the land, revealing a small grassy patch to which he parked his behind. Tails opened his bag and took out his diary, flipping through the pages that he had slowly filled out throughout the year.
The doodles of Sonic took up most of the pages with small descriptions of the day's events but he quickly flipped through, stopping at the day in November when Sonic finally admitted his love for the young fox. He smoothed the surface of the crumpled paper with his gloved thumb. He remembered back to that fateful day which changed the young kit's life. All depression, fear and anxiety seemed to be completely replaced with love, passion and devotion to the sapphire blur that day.
I stood there, at the door, allowing the freezing cold winds to enter my humble abode, snow staining my carpet as I marveled at him. Although he was downtrodden, sleep deprived and sickly looking, he was still as handsome as that night I fell for him. I tried to speak, apologizing for my previous transgressions but that was when he did something amazingly, indescribably, gratifyingly pleasing. He pressed his lips against mine! I practically melted right there on the spot. "Me too, I do love you, Tails," he spoke melodically, before he turned to sprint away. I couldn't move. I couldn't even feel the harsh winter winds whip my face and sting my eyes. All I could feel was joy, happiness and most importantly, love.
"Whatcha got there, buddy?" A voice came from behind him as a gloved hand rested upon Tails' shoulder, sending shivers down his spine.
"N…nothing," he replied, embarrassed, quickly closing the diary as he fumbled it around in his grasp. In the young fox's panicked state, his grip loosened on the leather bound journal as it fell from his grasp, towards the wet, snow that littered the ground below.
Sonic, reflexes almost as quick as his speedy legs, shot out his hand, catching the diary millimeters above the snow. He smiled, handing it back to Tails who thanked him quietly, stuffing the journal back into his back pack and zipping it up tightly.
"Was that your diary?" he asked. Tails simply nodded, not saying a word. After realizing that he wouldn't get a reply from the golden kit, Sonic continued. "I know a diary is personal but if you trust me, I'd love to read it some time. It would mean the world to me," Sonic smiled, wrapping his arms around Tails, enveloping him in his warmth.
Tails returned the hug, pulling Sonic down onto the snow with him and rolled on top of him.
"Hey!" Sonic yelled playfully. "You're getting snow all over me."
"Oh, am I making you wet," Tails joked, snuggling up on Sonic's bare chest and swirling his fingertips in a circular formation, causing Sonic to chuckle.
"You have no idea," he replied, a grin creeping across his face. Sonic waited, allowing Tails to get more comfortable on the top before he got ready to strike. He slowly shifted some of his weight onto the back of his calves, making sure that Tails didn't feel his subtle movements.
"I should be dominant more often," Tails laughed to himself. "This is much more comfortable."
"Oh yeah?" Sonic questioned, changing Tails attention off of him. As Tails opened his mouth, ready to reply, Sonic took his opening and pounced. He shifted all of his remaining weight onto his heels and rolled over, flipping Tails gently so he crashed into the large pile of snow behind him. Sonic then fell on top, smiling proudly as he touched Tails' nose with his own.
Lapis Lazuli met emerald as their eyes shone together, staring intently into each other's eyes before a small smirk crossed Tails face, taking Sonic slightly off guard. Tails quickly used his twin tails underneath him as extra momentum to flip Sonic off of him, bouncing up to reclaim the coveted position on top of the other, out of the cold snow.
This continued for a while, the two boys wrestling for the better position in snow as they laughed to each other when suddenly they both began to feel the force of gravity pulling them downwards. At this point, Tails had his head near Sonic's shoes and vice versa when they both felt themselves tumble down the hill, rolling together.
The blue hedgehog and golden fox continued to roll down the hill, getting covered in snow as they went until their motion stopped and they fell, sprawled out at the bottom of the hill. They both lay on their backs, arms outstretched and legs intertwined as they panted, trying to recover their breaths as the adrenaline left their systems now that they were safe.
"What are you two doing?" a high pitched voice pierced the serenity. Sonic turned his head, still lying flat on the sand to see a pink hedgehog run up to them, anger flushing over her face. "Why are you two tangled up together?" she asked again, fearing the worst.
"Oh hey Amy," Tails replied casually, sitting up now as Sonic did the same. His legs were positioned over Sonic's, wrapped around his waist at the time.
"Don't hey me!" she yelled. "Why are your legs around his waist?" Suddenly the colour drained from his face and was replaced with fear. 'Did Amy see us on top of the hill? Did she watch us as we rolled around together?' His thoughts ran wild, taking over his mind and made him unable to perform a reply except for a few mumbled, inaudible words that he strung together which made no sense to the pink hedgehog.
"What he is trying to say," Sonic began, maneuvering around Tails' body and sat up properly, brushing the snow out of his quills and bandages. "Is that we were walking on top of the hill when we slipped and fell down. Thanks for being so concerned," he concluded with a sarcastic inflection on those final words.
"Oh my Chaos, you poor thing," Amy cried out, shedding her anger instantly like a different personality had taken control of her state of mind. She rushed over to him and cradled him in his arms, whispering apologies into his ear and confirming to herself, and Sonic that she knew all along that it was a silly misunderstanding.
Sonic struggled to breath, trying his hardest to pry her arms away from him, with little success. Finally, he managed to get the hedgehog off him as he walked over with an outstretched arm to help his friend up as well.
"Sorry about everything," she beamed. "I'll let you get back to your walk now. Cya around," she sung out, skipping off from where she had come from.
"What a weirdo," Sonic said, nudging Tails with his elbow, who giggled in reply. The two stood side by side, looking at each other in complete silence when suddenly, the duo simultaneously burst out in an uncontrollable fit of laughter. The reality of what had just occurred washed over them both in unison and they couldn't help but see the humor in their situation.
They both collapsed back onto the snow covered ground as they tried to cease their incessant laughter. Sonic swiveled his head in the snow, staring at Tails who copied his hero. Sonic gripped Tails hand and without saying a word, placed a small kiss on the kit's lips. "I love you," he said quietly once he retreated from the kiss.
"You too, Sonic," Tails smiled, shuffling closer to the sapphire body of Sonic. "Now that the school year is over, we can spend a lot more time together," Tails sighed happily. Sonic simply raised his hand, giving Tails a thumbs up. Nothing more needed to be said in that moment as the two just lay together until the sun began to set in the winter sky.
A/N: I'm going to try to get out another chapter before I leave for a holiday in Japan on the 8th but I also have to update my other story Sonic High before so I'm not sure if I can make it. I'll try my hardest to get more chapters out before I leave! Sometimes i don't have as much inspiration and reviews really really help so if you have the time, please leave some words to tell me what you think or offer some constructive criticism because that gives me the drive to keep writing. Thanks for reading and enjoy your holidays!
