Would you make a prompt of sonic asking tails why he didn't defend him from mighton and bolts tauna about his relationship with amy?

Prompt:

"What the heck, Tails!"

Sonic walked out from the steel-trap room, making him feel claustrophobic. Tails snickered, seeing Sonic fan himself with his bandana up and down before turning to him and looking with a stink eye, raising his eyebrow up.

"What are you shouting about now?" Tails seemed amused but curious as to what Sonic was huffing around about.

"You know full well what I'm shouting-" he looked around, realizing his hands were up in the air and readjusted himself.

"…About." He covered his muzzle with a subtle push of his bandana over his mouth. He looked away, a hand on his hip, and kept away from eye contact, "…About Amy…"

"Oh? The girlfriend comment?" Tails was pretending to fluctuate his tone and make it sound like he was 'innocent' with his blunt inquiry.

"Whatever could you mean?" he continued his dumb-act and shrugged, ducking his head down and retreating it to look even more small and insignificant.

"Tails!" Sonic thrust his arms down, towering slightly over him with his teeth bare and exposing his restraint embarrassment and tension.

"I'm trying to keep those kinds of comments on the down-low!" he pulled away, grinding his teeth as he spoke through them.

"…Down-low?" Tails raised an eyebrow, before laughing and shaking his head. "But you two aren't really dating."

"Well, no…" Sonic turned away, sinking slightly down and hunching over, looking away again. "But I can't stand when people assume!"

"Assume what?"

"That we're something!" he exclaimed, flapping his arms out. "Why didn't you say anything? You let those bucket-of-bolts believe that I was some kind of chained idiot. A pushover! Tied down. Carried out like trash by the woman. Kicked and shoved around. I mean- 'thrown under the bus' is how I feel about your 'silence' Tails!"

"Well-"

Sonic glared, eyes squinting to almost being shut.

A slight growl would have broken the awkward silence but Tails understood at first glance and moved on.

"I felt you'd be able to handle it however you sought fit. I would have just been stepping in the way." He continued in his passive act rocking on his heels, before letting his feet spread a little and lift one foot up, shrugging his arms, and tilting his head towards Sonic.

In all accounts, it was a cute cover-up. A good excuse, and they were bros,… why shouldn't he believe him?

"…Still." Sonic folded his arms, staring at the ground.

"…I wish you had my back on that one, buddy…"

"…Did you need me to have your back?"

"Ye-!…Ah… No… No, I knew what we were." He started sweating, realizing he almost fell into a trap there.

He looked up, growing more nervous. "L-let's just not talk about this right now! Besides! I'm pretty sure Amy doesn't have that much dominance over my life…"

He began to walk away before he heard a snort. His ears bent back and he turned around with eyes blazing.

"Did you just..?"

"No! Pfft…. I didn't..kekekeh…" Tails was trying to plug his mouth.

"You do think she controls me!" Sonic flung around, holding an accusing finger to him.

"…WHAHAHAA!" Tails gripped his stomach, shaking his head. "No, no, no… I think you two sometimes act like a married couple b-but-…" he wiped his eye.

"WHAT!?"

"Well, you are really close!"

"Tails!"

"I can't trust that you know what's going on between you two when you obviously have a complexed dynamic like this!" Tails spread out his arms and bowed towards Sonic, trying to desperately show him how the situation looked.

"The only reason I didn't say anything was to see if you would confirm it or not… I knew you wouldn't, but something deep down inside me says you still didn't really answer it."

Sonic was frozen, but his eyes were darting everywhere.

"Et tu… Tails?" He held his head dramatically high and slightly at an angle, disgusted by the betrayal of his BEST friend.

"…Then… shall your masquerade fall?" Tails rose up with confidence, flaring his hand up like a true Shakespearian actor.

"Okay, so I don't know the whole line." Sonic snapped back, feeling weirdly exposed right now, and crunched his folded arms even more into himself. "But that doesn't mean you can just assume I'm out with random women!"

"Amy's not random. In fact, if I had to guess what girl you would fancy, I would suggest Amy!"

"You betray me once again!? So casually!?" Sonic broke from his tight and uncomfortable withdrawal with his arms and spread them out, feeling like the victim of circumstance now.

"How could I ever trust you!"

"Simple. You trust me with telling me that Amy's your girlfriend." Tails was still so nonchalant about his words, so obviously unaffected by Sonic's dramatic accusation towards him.

"Just say it. It's not like you're the first dude to let a woman boss him around." Tails once again formed a face that gave Sonic an escape. It was a complete mockery. Tails was acting as though he was kidding, just pressing his buttons and not meaning anything other than harmless fun.

Thanks to the scape-goat provided, Sonic relaxed and grabbed Tails into a noogie.

"Heeey… when did you get so snarky?" Sonic smiled, happy that it wasn't a 'real' conversation.

Though while Tails was receiving his 'just punishments' for teasing his friend, he made another sly smile that showed he meant… every… word….

But if Sonic wasn't ready to admit things that weren't properly being stated yet, then Tails wasn't going to push it any further.

After all, he hoped Sonic would trust him first with any 'weird feelings' he may be having about Amy, and Tails would happily be there for him, as he was- kinda- there for him with Zooey.
