His fingers danced across her back, tickling the soft fur. He ran them back and forth in a rhythmic pattern. She leaned into his chest, warily taking in his scent. This is what she had always wanted... Him. And now that she had him... It just felt so right.

Their legs tangled together, and his unoccupied hand clasped onto hers gently. Her other arm slumped over his side, while her hand resided in between the quills on his back.

He hummed a gentle tune, trying to pull her into sleep. It was really late after all. But she didn't want to sleep. She found herself afraid. What if this was all just a dream and when she closed her eyes it would be gone? Forever? What if he was just an illusion?

But something about the warmth that dominated off of his body, warming her up... Something about it told her this just had to be real. He was hers, and she, his. And she was determined to make sure nothing in this world tore them apart.

"I don't want to sleep, Sonic..."

A chuckle left him, and she could gel him slightly vibrate from the vocal chords. "I'm not going anywhere. Just sleep."

She grasped his body tighter against hers. "I know... I just..."

"Shhh... I'm not going to leave you..." He kissed her forehead. "Just... Sleep."

So she listened, letting his rhythmic heartbeat lead her into a state of sleep. And into a world of just more him... He was right, he wasn't going to leave her...
