Whispers Of What Once Was. (Whisper the Wolf x Male Reader.)

Chapter 13: Inopportune Timing

Whisper pov:

As I walk back to Restoration HQ, I keep thinking on how I'll confess to Y/N. I just have to be confident, like Tangle said. I arrive at the building, and go to my room, where I lay on my bed to think. the wisps are asleep in their capsules, so it's completely quiet in the room. Maybe I should practice in a mirror like Tangle suggested. I stand up and go into my bathroom, and look in the mirror, taking off my mask. I start going over ways I can tell him, trying to figure out the best way to say it. After a while I finally rest on how I'm going to tell him, and decide to take a shower.

After the shower, I get dressed in some relatively nice clothes. I head out of my room, heading towards Y/N's room. When I get there, I breath in deeply, and knock on his door. "Coming!" After a while, he opens the door. "Oh, hi Whisper! How was your visit with Tangle?" I smile as soon as I see him. "Hi! It was fun, we had some trouble from a couple of birds, but we handled it." He smiles back. "Well, I'm glad to hear it. Here, come in!" He steps out of the doorway, letting me enter.

His room is pretty barren, only a bed, nightstand and a single recliner are in the room, he says he doesn't need anything else. On the nightstand is a book titled, 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.' I remember reading that when I was a kid. There's also a lamp, and his hover wispon. One other thing stands out to me, a framed picture of us, one that he took the second night we were camping together. He looks so happy, while I'm looking stoic, if not a bit embarrassed. I guess it's like they say, opposites attract. "I told you getting out and meeting new people would be good for you!"

He sits in his chair, and motions for me to sit on the bed. I happily oblige. "There's something I want to talk to you about..." He looks at me, a warm smile on his face. "Whats up, Wolfy?" I blush as he calls me that. He gave me that pet name a little bit after the battle for Angel Island. I pretend I hate it, but really I love it when he calls me that..."W-well, I've been working on how to say this for a while now" He smiles widely, and rests his chin on his hand."Spill the tea, sis!" He says in a mock valley girl voice. I laugh a bit and look him straight in the eyes.

"Well, I've had this bottled up for a little whi-"

Suddenly Amy Rose's voice comes over the P.A "All combat ready fighters to the computer room for a debrief." Y/N looks a bit frustrated. "Well, that's just lazy writing, continue later?" I look away, a bit sad. "S-sure..." I leave his room in a hurry. I head to my room to grab my gear. "Of course it had to be now, why should I ever get a chance to be happy?" I say to myself, a bit angry, it's not fair that we had to be interrupted. I get to my room, put on my cloak and mask, grab my wispon, and head to the computer room.

When I get there, I see Y/N, the Chaotix, and a few other people that I don't know. I stand next to Y/N, and listen to Amy speak. She explains that Eggman is back, and is putting a new scheme in motion, she explains a couple of his minions were carrying some goop that when touched, turns the host into a metallic, braindead zombies, zombots for short. She also explained that Sonic had been infected by the zombots, but thanks to his speed, he could run the infection off, to stop him from turning completely, at least for the time being. I turn to Y/N, he looks nervous, fidgeting a bit.

I grab his shoulder, smiling at him. He smiles back, and turns to Amy again. After the debrief, we leave the room together. "So, another day another Eggman scheme, gets a bit tiring doesn't it?" Y/N says to me as we walk back to our rooms, I don't say anything in return, I'm thinking about what could happen with Eggman using this new bio-weapon, what could happen if it's widespread, this can't be good, maybe I should-

He puts a hand on my shoulder, "so, what did you want to talk about?" My eyes widen as I remember, I don't really want to tell him anymore, we both need to focus, this could be very bad. "Umm, I don't remember." I'm lying, trying to change the subject. "Alright, well, wanna go get some lunch?" I smile to him. "Sure!" We go off to get some lunch, all the while I'm still thinking about what could happen.

I have to protect him, I have to, I have to...

A/N: Happy Thanksgiving everyone! (if you celebrate it.)
