Boom: Springs Of Romance

This had to be the most beautiful, surreal place that Amy had ever come across in her entire life. As an archaeologist, she had explored many places and seen many wonderful things, but none of them could compare to this. Tall trees surrounded the area where some parted onto beautiful meadows, thick with wild flowers of a variety of colours. Many rocks had risen up from the ground with tiny crystals glistening inside in the summer light and heat of the sun. The birds were full of song and there was barely a cloud in the sky. The mountains reached high into the vast space of the sky and butterflies were in abundance.

Amy breathed in the fresh air and closed her eyes, letting out a blissful sigh. It really was spectacular here. After adjusting her backpack slightly, Amy continued exploring the area, weaving in and out of the trees before she walked into an open space just at the base of one of the mountains. There was a large natural pool, with wisps of steam rising out of it. The water was a clear blue, showing the smooth rock ground at the bottom. It was a hot spring.

It had been a long journey here and her muscles were beginning to ache from carrying such a heavy backpack all day. Amy walked towards, gazing into the water before shrugging and deciding why not? She pulled her backpack off her aching shoulders and placed it on the ground. Amy sighed as the weight left her and she stretched out her back slightly before pulling one of her gloves off to test the water. It was perfect.

Smiling at the thought of relaxation at last in such a beautiful place, Amy bent down, pulling her shoes and purple stockings off before she pulled her dress over her head and carefully laid them down on top of her backpack. She eagerly then dipped her foot in, followed by the other. Before she knew it, she was sinking down into the water, leaning against the edge and closing her eyes in bliss. The hot water felt so good on her aching muscles and she felt like she could stay this way forever. As she bathed, she picked up a few of the loose rocks from the bottom of the pool and examined them, admiring their incredibly smooth texture.

However, her enjoyment was short lived when a sudden breeze caught her attention. She looked up to see Sonic, frozen on the spot a few feet away, staring directly at her with wide eyes. His muzzle immediately turned red and, without thinking, Amy shrieked and threw the rock in her hand at him.

"OUCH!" Sonic cried out as it made contact with his head. That would definitely leave a bump.

Amy turned a vivid red as she used her hands and arms to cover herself up.

"What are you doing here?!" Amy shrieked as she crouched further into the water to hide herself.

"Running around." Sonic answered sounding irritated as he rubbed his sore head. "What are you doing here?"

"I was exploring."

"In a hot spring?" Sonic chuckled, now seeing the funny side of things.

"For goodness sake, close your eyes or something!" Amy gasped out as her face felt impossibly hotter.

Sonic laughed. "Alright alright, I'm not looking." He chuckled as he turned away. "I promise."

Amy sighed with relief as she climbed out of the hot spring, keeping her eyes locked on Sonic's back in case he turned around before she was ready. Not caring that she was still wet, she hastily pulled her dress back on, not caring that her dress was now slightly damp. It was a warm day, it would soon dry. Her stockings and shoes were another story though and decided she'd best leave them off for now.

"Alright, I'm decent now." Amy growled out, still annoyed and embarrassed by the whole situation.

Sonic turned around, his cheeks still slightly pink before he reached around to scratch the back of his head awkwardly. "Sorry about that, I honestly did not expect to find you here…let alone stumble upon you naked." His cheeks darkened as he spoke.

Amy sighed, her face softening as she realised she was overreacting. It was just an accident. "It's ok and I'm sorry for throwing a rock at you."

"It's ok." Sonic waved it off before an awkward silence followed.

Amy honestly didn't know what to say. After all, it wasn't everyday your crush stumbled across you bathing. Amy shuddered, once again feeling embarrassed. She could not believe that had just happened. Pushing those thoughts to the back of her mind, Amy looked up once again and smiled at Sonic.

"It sure is beautiful here." She said.

Sonic nodded. "Yeah, I don't think I've ever been here before."

"Well…seen as you're here…" Amy said, feeling a little awkward. "Do you wanna explore with me?"

"Sure." Sonic smiled at her before running over and picking up her backpack.

Amy smiled back gratefully before picking up her shoes and stockings and carrying them with her as they walked. The grass was soft beneath her bare feet and Amy found it relaxing. They wandered around for a bit, talking and laughing about everything and nothing. They stumbled upon a small meadow, the midday sun now intense as it beamed down at them. Both of them soon stopped, taking shade under a tree where they continued talking. Sonic leaned back against the trunk while Amy sat next to him making a daisy chain as she babbled on about something Sticks had done.

Sonic further relaxed into the tree, closing his eyes as he listened to the sound of Amy's voice. She soon stopped talking and sighed, realising that in her nervous state of being alone with him in this environment had caused her to babble on.

Sonic opened one eye when he heard her sigh and go quiet and watched her carefully. Amy fiddled with the daisy chain she had been working on and bit her lip. She then dropped the daisy chain and leaned against the tree trunk next to him.

"How's your head?" She asked awkwardly.

Sonic chuckled. "It's fine. Your throw wasn't that good."

Amy smiled and rolled her eyes at his statement, watching as Sonic closed both eyes again.

"I still feel bad about it." Amy sighed, looking down in shame.

"Eh, don't worry…about it. I'm sorry…for running in on you like that." Sonic said sleepily.

Amy blushed again at the thought, but smiled. "You weren't to know."

Amy then gasped as she felt a warm arm wrap around her shoulder before she felt herself being pulled down. Her head rested against Sonic's shoulder as her body laid against his side and Amy froze, not knowing what to do. He'd pulled her down for an embrace? Surely she must be dreaming? Slowly, her eyes moved up to Sonic's peacefully, sleeping face and she felt her heart melt. In his sleep he had pulled her against him. His arm clung to her and his face turned slightly into her quills and Amy didn't dare move. Her body seemed to fit perfectly against his like they were two pieces of a puzzle.

She couldn't help herself as she nestled further into him, breathing in her sent as she let it engulf her. He smelled like nature itself, like the most beautiful forest. Her eyes closed involuntary as she couldn't help but relax in his embrace. Without thinking, she wrapped an arm around his middle before she too fell into a peaceful slumber.

The embarrassment of earlier was forgotten about as the two hedgehogs continued to sleep, clutching each other under the shade of the tree.
