Prompts are still on shutdown but I have an old prompt idea I'm gonna go for~
Prompt:
With a free-wheeling tumble, Sonic landed over Amy's form and protectively took the impact of Eggman's attack.
High up in his massive, mega robot–The doctor laughed and began firing on Tails and Knuckles, seeing as Sonic and Amy were left as a pile of dirt after the assault of firepower.
A single strand of Sonic's blue quill stood out… it lightly swayed in the wind before ruffling quickly as the dirt began to fall to the sides of the mound.
Sonic, like a dog shaking off water, shook himself free of the dirt. Still having that same smile on his face he had while rushing in to cover for Amy, he narrowed his brow and began burrowing for Amy.
Only when he couldn't find her did he lose his smile and began sticking his head up and around to locate her.
However… Amy had dug herself up out of the mound herself and quickly turned around to see she was behind Sonic.
Being sneaky, she stalked up quietly behind him… But his head turned and saw her with a gasp as she leapt at him. She had hoped to catch him off guard, but his reflexes were better than that.
He caught her as she hugged him and tried to shower him with missed kisses, due to the fact that he kept her back just enough away that none would get a solid landing.
He closed one eye but smiled with the other as her voice rang out in delight, "Oh, Sonic! You saved me!"
"Heheh." He chuckled, lightly, "More like I just kept the dirt from getting in your hair. You okay?"
She pulled back a moment to really look at him, "Oh Sonic~" She turned back to Eggman, "He's really got something up his sleeve this time, doesn't he?"
Sonic, after scratching his head from the embarrassment of Amy's showering devotion, turned back to look at it.
"Yeah, it's different alright. From his usual, crazy, hair-gripping schemes…" Sonic joked, but there seemed to be something off about today.
Even though everything was happening as it usually does, even Amy's typical admiration of himself, something wasn't quite right…
He sneezed.
"Sonic?" Amy blinked curiously back to him.
"I'm fine." Sonic sniffed, wiping his nose to his glove a few times before getting up and tapping his foot behind him. "I'll take care of Egghead, you just take out those clunky feet!"
Amy got up on a knee, flinging up her hammer, "Got it! But Sonic-!"
He was rotating his shoulder out, feeling something stuffy in his chest. "Ugh… *Sniff*, yeah, Amy?"
As he looked back, trying to look more like his usual self, she suddenly gave him a flirty look.
"Marry me?"
He noticed she was on one knee and looked back to her, unamused. He just rolled his eyes and dashed off.
"Silence means it's not a no!" Amy called out, giggling to herself before getting up to help.
As the battle dragged on, Sonic felt drained and like he couldn't breathe. His head was warm as Eggman finally admitted defeat…
"And that's… what you get-! You loser!" Sonic, looking a bit scatter-brained, seemed to be wobbly on his feet, standing over the giant robot before it began to glow green…
"My emerald!" Knuckles cried out as the robot got back up from the grave, seeming ready for round two as robotic wings began to form on it's back. A metal wire-line that soon blasted electrical webbing throughout itself.
"HAHAHA! HOHO! Take on this, Sonic!… Sonic?" Eggman looked around, but Sonic was being secretly dragged off the battlefield…
"Where'd he go?" Knuckles looked around a moment, then shrugged it off and cracked his neck to the side, "Ah, forget'em! It's just you and me, Eggman!"
"Hardly any fun…" Eggman pouted, but seemed to engage the fist-pounding Knuckles who came directly at him.
"Give me back my eeemmmerrallldd!"
Beyond the bushes and treeline, Tails lightly put Sonic down as Amy rushed to join him.
"What's wrong with him?" She worriedly held her hands to her chest.
"He seems kinda out of it." Tails concluded, touching his forehead before pulling out his Miles-Electrics.
"I'm… Fine…" Sonic huffed out, laying down as he seemed to be stuck there. He tried to reach out and move his upper-torso to sitting up straight but was like a tortoise on his back.
"Oh no… He seems-" Amy began but Tails finished the line for her.
"Woah! He's off the charts sick!" Tails shook his head, then looked to Amy, "I knew this would happen. Sonic said he felt ill earlier but then carried on like he never told me. I thought that maybe he fought it off but it looks worse than before." Tails sighed, "I think we can handle Eggman from here, but… We really shouldn't leave him alone like this…" Tails frowned as he saw his friend struggling to kick his legs up and move off from his back.
Sonic was strangely tired, that never happened before. Not like this, anyway. Usually, he had to move or else the energy in him would collect and explode! His face was warm too, odd, and it seemed like a perfectly good day to destroy a giant robot too…
"I don't need to be put on the sidelines, Tails… I'm-HACHOO!" he sneezed, as Tails and Amy flinched. Tails held up his miles-electric to block any germs that might have been spread in the air, but Amy just stepped back and covered her face.
"Don't worry, Tails." Lovingly, Amy put her hand on Tails's shoulder, which caused him to lower the device blocking his face. "I already got the feet pretty damaged, maybe just ask Knuckles to tunnel it under?"
"Good idea!" Tails nodded, then got up with an apologetic grin to Sonic, "Sorry, buddy. But you need a break!" he took off then, waving to Amy, "Make sure he rests!"
"Right!" Determined, Amy walked around Sonic and pulled him up by a bit by getting her hands under his armpits. "Come on, Sonic! Let's have you rest somewhere safe- Ah!" she turned to see Eggman Robots hacking through the forest.
"They're… not gonna just let me sleep… not on my watch." Sonic's head could barely stay up, but he could see what she was worried about. "I'll take'em on." He tried to kick his feet up and managed to squabble up, then went to spin-dash but it rolled so fast it made his stomach ill.
It was like a drunk tire rolling left and right, missing the robots completely before he uncurled and held a hand to his mouth. "Ohh man… Maybe this is a bit more serious than I thought…" Sonic turned around and punched a robot, then kicked one away before hearing a- 'Ow!'
"Opps, sorry, Amy!"
Amy just frowned up at him, a bit annoyed. "Let me handle this! You're being stubborn!" she took her hammer and began hitting what Sonic thought were trees.
"I'm fine~ Just doing my- oh geez!" he tripped, "Help! Amy! There are bugs on this floor!"
"Oh, come on..!" Amy whined, seeing he wasn't just gonna rest like Tails and her were hoping he would.
After fending off some of the robots, she quickly got Sonic under what looked like a tree's roots and began digging to make something comfortable for the two of them.
At this point, it was just to hide, but Sonic was so terribly ill by now that he had to be pulled through the small gap between the tree's large roots just to get into the hole.
"How are you feeling?" Amy, feeling a little too close to him for comfort, ignored her own warm forehead and tried to make things better for him.
His feet flopped into the hole at last and he dizzily looked up at her, "You… You can't hold them off forever."
"Watch me." She narrowed her eyes, but then sneezed. "Ha-choo!"
It was adorable.
Sonic chuckled, "Uh oh. Sick party."
"D-don't say that." Amy looked around and pulled a leaf off to blow her nose into it.
"Hey… that's smart, mind passing one?" He held out his hand.
She gave him more leaves and the two continued to clear out their noses non-stop into them.
He laughed, "Look, we're bonding!"
"Ugh… my nose is itchy now…" Amy complained, before laying down beside Sonic.
"Woah, you'll get more sick if you… ha… ha.. HACHOO! Ugh… stick this close to me, Amy." He tried to warn her, but she laid her head next to his anyway.
"The hole's too small," she sniffled, "And I'm not as bad as you. If it's the same cold or something, then we're fine."
"Buried alive together… again." Sonic joked. "When they find our bones, will they be able to… ha…ha-!"
Amy put her finger up to his nose, catching the sneeze before it happened, as Sonic's nose twitched and then calmed down.
"Haaa… thanks." He sniffled, "Will they know we were stuck here from sickness or just acquired a hopelessly cheap coffin?"
"Sonic, you say the darndest things." Amy took some more leaves and passed them to him. "What got you so sick, anyway?"
Sonic paused a moment, about to blow into the leaf before putting it up against his nose, and then looking off to the side. "…Well, yesterday I went out with you to help at the farmer's market… you had a stand and-"
"THAT GUY!" she shrieked, "He was sick as anything! I couldn't sell my garden's produce with him coughing and hacking everywhere! But we left before… he… ha…ha…HA-!" she felt Sonic's finger hit her nose. "…Haaa…" she took a leaf and replaced his finger with it. "CHOO!" the leaf went flying.
The two watched the leaf drift away before laughing.
"Hurricane Amy." Sonic teased.
"Oh, stop that. *Sniff* I'm serious, we're both really sick!"
"Yeah…"
"I mean, it's cute, right? But, like… what if we get Knuckles and Tails sick too?"
"Eh, nothing a little tender love and care can't solve." Sonic pulled out what looked like some stow-away'd food.
"That's gross." Amy blew into another leaf. "Let me have a bite."
"With your boogers all over your gloves?" He held it away, "Fat chance." and took a bite of whatever the cloth he had unfolded slightly was hiding.
"Heeeyyyy… come on…" Amy whined, "Girls don't have boogers. We're too polite."
He stopped from taking the first bite and looked over to the leaf that had been blown away moments before. "I think that poor ant person on that leaf would say otherwise."
Amy chuckled, but only from the numbing headache she was getting. "There are no tiny ant people." she giggled.
"Really? Waking up tomorrow and finding a tiny letter stating that Mr. Ant can't afford house insurance on the nasty green blob you just delivered all over his great-grandmother's leaf will make you think otherwise." He took a bite as Amy continued to giggle from his sickly humor.
"You're silly."
"I tend to be goofy when I'm sick." He admitted.
"Hehe, I just gave him a free paint job."
"Wooowww that's awful." Sonic saw her slowly losing her intelligence as the sickness carried, but then he wondered if Tails and Knuckles were the same.
Suddenly, his own consciousness seemed to wane, and soon, the two were sick buddies.
They laughed next to each other in their hazy mess, kicking leafs out of the hole as they stuck to one another after a while.
"So gross…" Amy whined out.
"Hey, that's mostly your mess, not mine."
"All the tiny little lawyers…"
"Still, not my problem- HACHOO!"
"There goes a few hundred rings." she laughed.
"Eh," Sonic wiped his nose, "I'll collect them again later."
"How many you need?"
"Just one." Sonic flicked the ring out and held it up to her. "One to survive this awful cold."
"We should share it." she sniffled, reaching up for it. "Quick, put it on my finger…"
He was so out of it that he began too, but halfway through, he heard her giggled and removed it.
She stared at him, a huge, sickly grin on her face as he shook his head and refused to make eye-contact with her.
"We're so sick." Amy teased.
He huffed.
"You like me~" she joked, pulling out some more leaves before gasping, "We're out of leaves!"
"Maybe we should 'leaf' then." He teased.
"You're just upset cause you almost put a ring on me." She made a face, "Mr. Grumpy quills… sir, Mrs. Grumpy Quills would like your side of the leaf pile, please."
He folded his arms, bundling the leaves around him. "It's your fault we're sick." His voice sounded stuffy, and it made her groan.
"Oh, are you still sick too? It's been a while, I don't hear robots or explosions anymore." she looked out towards the roots. "It's getting dark too…"
He tried to stand up, felt his head, and then lowered back to where Amy was. "For the record-! …Oh, bad idea, bad idea… hmph, you're not Mrs. anything." he joked, gripping his head. "This is worse than any headache I've ever had."
"Spring fever."
"Is that what it is?"
"No, I mean, I don't know? I just know that spring is the best time to get engaged." she giggled, bringing it up again as he groaned.
"I have mucus in my head and throat and you want to joke about tricking a sick man into marrying you again?" he turned his head and suddenly… the two were right next to each other.
She giggled before opening her eyes and seeing his large eyes, though small green irises, looking back to her.
"…Hee," she let out a cute but nervous chuckle, "What are you staring at? Your sick bride-to-be? Haha!"
"No.." He smiled, "A nasty girl booger."
Amy slapped her hands over her nose, "Ew! Really?! Give me a tissue, quick!"
He laughed and held the leaf up over her head, reaching back to grab a few more. Dangling it playfully, he taunted her as she removed one hand to try and grab it.
"You're tormenting a beautiful, sick young woman!"
He just laughed.
"Ohhh, give it up, already!"
"How many rings do you have?"
"You're gonna make me pay for it?"
"Absolutely!" there seemed to be a double-meaning that he meant by that, but she didn't catch on to it.
"Ohhh…" After using up most of her energy trying to grab the leaf, she gave up. "You're mean…"
He noticed with a tilt of his head that she was still covering her face, so he brought the leaf close to her nose, "Here, blow."
She stared down at his hand offering, wondering if he was being real or not. She removed her hand, still revealing the snot as he placed the leaf up to her nose.
"Isn't this gross?" Her voice sounded off when he pitched her nose against the leaf.
"Very, but I figured, you're my gross bubble too. Now blow."
She did so, and he threw the leaf off towards the almost plugged hole with sticky, gross leaves.
"Think they'll dig up our bodies and say we died of the farmer's market guy?"
"If anyone is getting a lawyer, it's us." Sonic folded his arms, rubbing his hands against two more leaves in attempts to clean them.
Amy giggled before pausing a moment on something he said, "Us?"
She saw he was getting sleepy, and went for the question again, "Not just you?"
"Not just me." He groaned, turning to throw an arm around her, getting comfortable in the small space as she sniffled in her gasp.
"S-Sonic..?"
"What?"
"W-what are you…"
"I'm sick."
"I-I know you're sick, I am too, but-" she stopped questioning it, but instead, leaning into his embrace.
"Emm… This is nice." She admitted. "But you're really warm, and I'm already so warm too…"
"Eh, take what you can get." Sonic sniffled, reaching back for more leaves, blowing his own nose.
"Ewww… groosss…" She giggled, but he seemed to purposefully make nose-noises right next to her and wiggle his head more towards her. "No, no, no! Haha!"
"Ugh, you'll be the death of me." he threw the leaf, but it stuck to his hand. "Ah, I should really get back at Eggman and just get him sick too."
"Sneeze on his pillow?"
"You're evil. I was just gonna pile all these leaves into his robots."
"Haha! Make them all look icky while he thinks they've grown minds and made camouflage!"
The two tiredly laughed before dipping more into sleep.
"Hey, Sonic?"
"Hmm?" he seemed barely awake now, completely slipping into a sick-induced sleep.
"Can I be your sick wife?"
"You can be my sick friend in this hole we may die in together." He countered.
"But… Can I, though?"
"Where else will you go?"
"I'd like to die in your arms…"
"Don't say that. Don't say that again." He held her a bit tighter.
"Too morbid?"
"…Something like that."
She felt his breathing go at a steady pace.
"…Sonic?"
He didn't respond.
"…I'm glad we're sick together. It's like the first time I really get to enjoy being around you without you wiggling away from me… Hey, Sonic?"
He groaned from his throat, which caused her to giggle again as she slowly began to slip into sleep too.
She yawned and sneezed lightly, as Sonic frowned next to her but she turned and moved further into him. "I hope you take me to the farmer's market again… I hope you still hang out with me… and go on dates with me… and let me take care of you when you're sick."
"…We'll take care of each other."
"Deal…" she fell to sleep… but Sonic blinked his eyes open, smiling as he took a leaf and wiped her nose for her, then hugged her again and fell asleep too.
Later…
"…Should we move them?" Tails peered into the hole.
"Ew, what this is?!" Knuckles shouted in a whisper, trying to get some stuck leaves off of his gloves. "They won't-! Grr! Come off!"
"We should at least get them home. Come on." Tails, sucking in his germ-phobias, used his beautiful tails to wipe the pile of yucky leaves away, cringing as some stuck to his tails.
They pulled the two out, feeling their heads to see they were really burning up, and helped them to get some medicine in time.
While washing up, Amy noticed her nose had turned red on the underside of it, and sighed at how irritable it was.
When she came out from Tails's bathroom, she gasped to see Sonic on the couch, some ice on his head, and when he turned… a red-stain under his nose.
He smiled at her though, seeing her matching one too.
"Oh, you poor thing!" she giggled, "We should have shared that ring!"
