Forbidden Lovers

Ears

Sonic was already sitting at the couch when I got there and so I sat next to him.

The show seemed to be about a little boy who lived with aliens and thought that that was normal.

I watched the first episode and to my surprise Sonic stayed true to his words of not falling asleep.

It annoyed me though.

I had gotten used to Sonic curling up in my lap.

Which was when I suddenly wondered what it would be like to curl up in his.

I looked over at Sonic mischievously and I felt him give me the side-eye.

I beeped innocently.

"What are you planning?" Sonic grunted.

I looked away pointedly to not give him any intel.

He huffed and crossed his arms.

I chose that moment to flop into his lap as dramatically as I could.

Sonic yelped and I refused to move.

"Metal!" Sonic whined.

I ignored him and stretched out my arms and legs getting comfortable.

Sonic might prefer being curled up but I preferred a more log like position.

Sonic huffed loudly.

I clicked softly and then allowed my mind to go blank.

I never really shut off unless I was down for maintenance so it was the best I could do. I mean I could turn myself off manually but.. I didn't like doing so.

Sonic released one last whiney noise before going quiet.

I simply laid there silently enjoying my new spot.

I then heard Sonic huff after a couple minutes.

I felt his hand brush the back of my head and I felt my optics brighten slightly of there own accord.

I had never had my ears scratched before.

I wondered briefly if it would feel good or weird.

I mean. I knew there was copper in my ears.

Sonics hand stroked me again this time the top of my head and quills.

I buzzed softly despite trying to stay quiet as to not scare Sonic off.

Sonic chuckled softly before petting me again.

I buzzed again and then he started petting me in a rhythm.

I allowed it for two minutes before getting bored of the normal petting and I tilted my head which caused Sonic to touch the tip of my ear.

I buzzed loudly and gently pushed my head into Sonic's hand.

Sonic exhaled a bit.

I let out a trusting beep and I waited.

I had scratched Sonic's ears. He could scratch mine.

I felt his fingers tentatively scratch against the outer part of my ear and that warmth came back.

I buzzed loudly and happily.

Sonic purred slightly and then his fingers traced up my ear and down and one accidentally rubbed against the copper part and where I expected it to feel awkward and weird like when Tails put the button on me it instead felt like fire. Not a hurt burn but a different kind of burning and suddenly it was like everything clicked into place and for the first time in my life the world was perfect.

I then made a sound that I had never heard before.

It was a loud half buzz half honk.

Sonic paused immediately and I went back into a sitting position on my side out of surprise at myself.

"Did I hurt you?" Sonic asked me softly in concern.

I shook my head.

Sonic hadn't hurt me at all.

Sonic had shown me the meaning of sunshine.

Maybe.. maybe I did love Sonic.

I beeped at the realization my optics glowing brightly for a moment.

Sonic stared at me for a moment and then he looked back towards the show.

I honked softly at him and then I simply nuzzled my head into the spot between his neck and shoulder and Iet my mind go blank again.

Sonic didn't say a word or try to pet me again.

We simply sat like that for awhile and then Sonic yawned.

I wrapped my arms around him when he tried to get up.

I didn't want him to leave me.

Sonic sighed heavily.

"Metal. I gotta get some sleep." Sonic told me softly.

I beeped and then I pulled him into my lap.

Sonic snorted and then sighed.

"Fine. You win." Sonic sighed.

I let him go and he curled up in my lap with a huff.

I buzzed softly and I petted Sonic.

Sonic breathed softly and then I felt his body relax after a couple minutes.

I was silent for the rest of the night.

Morning then came and I was still petting Sonic.

Sonic woke up around early morning.

I buzzed gently and Sonic looked up at me.

I just stared down at him.

Sonic smiled at me and then got off of me.

"I'm guessing your heading off now?" Sonic asked me curiously.

I shook my head.

I then picked up my notebook and mechanical pencil.

'No. I want to stay with you a bit. If that's okay.' I wrote down and showed him.

Sonic nodded.

"Yeah. That's fine." Sonic told me.

I nodded and then I sat back down.

Sonic stared at me for a moment and then put the show back on and walked off leaving me with my thoughts.
