The rain poured down as Knuckles looked at the blue hedgehog alone at the gazebo.

Sonic was standing there like a princess waiting for her princes arrival to sweep her off her feet.

But Sonic is a prince in secret (not so secret anymore) and he is alone and the man he loved would never come back to sweep him off his feet.

He was sad, alone, cold, and wet from the rain that was still pouring down.

"This is just... This makes no sense. How could I not know about this? Why didn't I let Sonic tell me this?" Knuckles said to himself.

"Why? Why did this had to happen? I loved Knuckles so much. I keep hanging out with Amy just for him to notice me and get him jealous." Sonic said to himself softy.

"When the picnic we had got ruined, I... I ran into him and I hoped that would happen. It's too much. I...I undoubtedly wanted to see him. Every day. I wanted to be with him." Sonic said sadly as he collapsed onto his knees.

"Sonic... I had no idea. Y-you cared about me that many times?" Knuckles asked softly even though Sonic couldn't see or hear him.

"Believe it or not, I-I love you too Sonic." Knuckles said softly as he looks down.

That was when Knuckles heard Tails and the girls rushed to him.

"Seriously Knuckles? Stop running away from us." Tails said in a stern tone.

"I-I can't help but think Tails. I needed to know if Sonics okay and what he needs to tell me." Knuckles protested.

"That's the thing. Sonic actually likes you." Sticks blurted out and that made Amy and Tails surprised.

Amy was just in shock.

Knuckles let out a stressful sigh.

"I already know. He fell in love with me. Who woulda thought? That pity move I made to set him free, would leave him to have feelings for me? I feel so stupid not letting him tell me." Knuckles said softly while trying to compensate what is happening around him.

"What? He loves... No! This can't be happening!! I was the one who should love him not you! Why you?! Of all people why you?!" Amy asked enraged and shocked.

"Probably because I understood him more than you could." Knuckles blurted out.

Sonic stood up and as he cried Knuckles name a few times.

That was when Knuckles walked to him as he looked at the lonely blue hedgehog with pain and determination.

"Even if this is real. I needed to make this a possible moment." Knuckles said to himself.

"Knuckles what are you doing?!" Tails asked as he approached the blue hedgehog.

"You may not hear this Sonic. But you are right about one thing. I would say 'Not Cool Sonic'. Not because I would be disgusted by your confession of love for me. I would say it because; you were too stubborn to even hide yer true feelings for me. But it wasn't cool of me either for not seeing how you truly felt about me. You may not hear this; I love you too, ya scrawny...beautiful hedgehog." Knuckles said as he cried in the middle of the sentence.

"You may not see or hear me but I hope you can feel me when I do this." Knuckles said before he cupped a hand on Sonics face.

Sonic may not see or hear him but he felt the hand on his face.

"What?..." Sonic asked softly as the tears continued to run down his face.

Then Knuckles moves his head forward and kissed Sonic on the lips.

Amy gasped in shock 'seeing Knuckles kiss Sonic like that'.

"Wh-What is happening?" Sonic thought as he himself didn't know what is going on yet his body says otherwise.

"I love you. I wish I could tell you in person." Knuckles said softly as he broke the kiss.

"What was that?" Sonic asked himself as Knuckles walked through him and back to the group.

Sonic felt a cold chill as he shivered.

"M-must've got cold from the rain." Sonic said to himself while holding himself.

Tails couldn't believe his eyes at what he saw.

"What was that??" Sonic asked himself as he placed his two fingers on his lips.

Knuckles looked at his friends with a deep red blush.

"I-I LOVE SONIC WITH ALL MY HEART!!" Knuckles blurted out with a blush still on his face.

Amy's eyes widened at this, Sticks 'not too surprising', and Tails 'completely surprised at this'.

"I-I always loved him. I wanted nothing more but to spend time with him and be with him. Unlike you Amy, I known him longer than you. I wanted to love him. But I sealed my feelings for him deep inside. Every time they come out I write a journal about my feelings for Sonic. I secretly learned how to write and read and it helps me sealed them up. So he wouldn't noticed but now, he is the same way." Knuckles explained.

"Wait. Where did you hid that Journal?" Tails asked as Sonic noticed something under the boards before he sees something.

A red journal with a hint of blue. The words 'My feelings for Sonic' was written on the front cover.

"Wh-What is this?" Sonic asked himself as he picked it up while the four were talking to each other.

Though Amy and Knuckles started to argue with one another.
