Pink Petals (Sonadow)

Why pink? [Ch. 2]

Readers POV

Sonic opened his eyes around 7 in the morning. He walked to the bathroom and washed his face to completely wake up.
After that he made a quick breakfast, bla bla bla. Deja vu? Right. Everyone's morning routine is the same.

Sonic POV

After eating i didn't feel like going out for a run, i would probably start coughing at some point and i don't want the attention.
My thoughts got interrupted by tails calling on the communicator, which i picked up fast.

"hey buddy" i said.

"hey sonic! Are you ready?" tails asked, i could tell he is excited.

"it's still early." i laughed. "but i will be there in a minute" i continued, then hung up and dashed to tails.

I knocked on the door waiting for a fox to greet me, which i did recieve. We went inside and sat down on the couch.

"wanna play some race car?" i asked tails who looked at me with a smile, and gave a nod.

I turned on the tv while tails got the consoles and we started playing for a few hours. I did get my ass beat a couple of times but tails could say the same. It wasn't just fun but also a distraction.

"oh come on, sonic!" tails said in frustration since i won again. I just laughed it off.

"could we do something else?" tails asked irritated and i just nodded, but nothing fun came in mind.

"maybe we could invite the others to go out and eat somewhere" he suggested.

I wasn't happy with that, not because i hate their company but i was afraid i would start coughing. Ever since i got here i was fine, cough free. I was still worried though. This is still strange and yesterday i coughed up like 4 petals altogether, which is 4 times. And trust me it was a looong long suffering.

"i'm not sure about that.." i said as i was stratching my neck.

"how so? Is something wrong?" tails looked at me worried.

"no worries, i just don't think i recovered fully from yesterday's headache and stuff" i tried to come up with something logical.

"i understand." tails said giving a worried smile. I don't know how long will this last and i don't want to avoid the others for too long. I craved their company, they always cheered me up. And i could use some comforting after...that.
Right after that sentence ran trough my head i started to feel the stinging again, urging to cough. I tried swallowing repeatedly pushing the petals down but it just continued dancing up from my throath.
I took a deep breath and tried to sound as normal as possible, but i felt myself losing oxygen.
"be right back" i said and made my way to the bathroom kinda rushing, which caught tails attention i guess, i hoped not. I locked the door to prevent him to enter and i started the water, silenting the rechts as much as possible.

I wanted to get to the end of this, knowing why and how it started, what is this all about,why petals and especially..why pink?
I hated how clueless i was but atleast it got my focus off of the pain while i managed to cough the petal up.
Why pink? I started asking myself again while i was inspecting the unusual object.
I widened my eyes. It was very similar to a pink orchidea's petal. Why didn't i care to look at it before?! I always tossed it into the trash..i guess i just didn't process this whole choking on petal phenomenon. You can't blame me, i was pretty messed up inside and this is something that you would read in a fantasy book. Anyways, back to the petal.
