Forget it (Sontails)

Chapter 5

Sonic looks at me with determined eyes. He better be ready...

"Lets get to the point...I can't die."

I didn't say anything after that, I wanted to see if Sonic had any reaction of not believing me, but he still sat there not even phased.

I cleared my throat, "And when you guys left me alone all those times that you trusted me to survive, well I didn't really survive."

I look at Sonic..He had the same expression on his face. So I keep going.

"I have died thirty-five times without you guys knowing and just to let you know, I do remember how everything feels....My latest death was yesterday, when I got electrified."

Sonic shuffles in his seat at the last remark I made.

"Tonight I had a weird dream. I was in some void with one thing. A knife. For some reason I could hear myself talking to me. I said for me to pick up the knife, but I didn't. I knew it wasn't smart of me to do that, but then I said what if I did it for-"

I stopped talking, realizing what I was about to say. "What if you did it for...?" Sonic asked. I looked up at him and blushed. "What if I did it for...a friend. A friend like you Sonic." Cooling myself down, I started again.

"I agreed that I would do it for a friend, like you...So I took the knife. When I did blood was coming out of the knife and I heard you talking to me. You said-"

"What were you doing." Sonic finished the sentence.

"Yeah...And I don't remember anything else until I saw Amy and you on the ground...and I think you know what happens next."

Sonic nods his head. "I see...everything makes sense now. I'm sorry Tails that I didn't notice sooner. I'm sorry that you had to go through all this pain. I'm sorry-"

"Don't be sorry Sonic. I should have told you sooner...and I am very surprised that you took this information quite thoughtfully." I smile at Sonic feeling relieved of myself, but then I remembered how I murdered Amy. My smile fades away. 

Sonic seemed to notice so he put his hand on my shoulder. "It's okay. It..it wasn't you who did it."

"Then who Sonic? Who killed..who killed Amy?"

Sonic sighs. I don't think he knows. He can't help me, I should have known that he would be-

"I think I might know."

My head snaps at Sonic, examining him. "W-What do you think it is?" I ask pleading.

"I think you have a dark side...or a crazy mind set that is occurring because of all the pain and death you have suffered. Oh! That's it! You're going insane."

I stare at him. "That is very offending to me. You think I'm going insane?" I said crossing my arms. "I'm just trying to help..."

"I knoooow....Hey, a dark side does seem reasonable though."

I feel my eye twitch then my mind goes blank. The second I open my eyes I see Sonic on the ground...With myself on top of him. I blush so hard I think my head might burst. His arms were spread like a 'W' while I pinned him down with all fours. Then I noticed that my knee was up his legs. Sonic's face looked slightly scared but amused. 

"Ah- I'm so sorry Sonic!" I screech as I quickly roll off of him. "W-What happened? I just, my mind went blank and, and, I woke up on top of you-"

"It's okay Tails, it must have been your 'insane' side." Sonic said chuckling a bit while getting up into a sitting position. I cover my face with embarrassment. "What did I do?" I ask, my voice shaking.

"Don't worry about it Tails," Sonic jumped up and gave me a thumbs up, "You're all fine, you won't hurt my feelings now that I know your deep secret."

"No, tell me, I need to know." I said getting a bit serious. Sonic blinked, "Okay then, but it wasn't much. After you said that having a dark side is reasonable your eyes...I don't know, they looked sharper."

"My eyes looked sharper? You're not lying are you?" I said.

"Buddy, I'm telling the truth and putting it into as much detail as I can. You said you wanted to know , but I don't have to tell you.."

"Just tell me already. Why are you making this so hard? Did I do something that-" A blush scatters across my face while the memory of me on top of him pops up.

Sonic ignores my dramatic pause and gets on with what happened. "Okay, so what happened after that is you started to get all twitchy. I asked if you were okay and your response was 'I'm never okay.' You stood up from your bed and sat on me..and you umm.."

"What did I do...?" I asked, my blush calming down a bit. 

"You kissed me."

My body goes tense and I fight the urge to touch my lips. Clearing my throat I pick up the chair that was on the ground and sit on it. "O-Okay, go on.."

Sonic chuckles nervously, "So, umm, yeah, you were kind of doing that with me and the chair fell over so you ended up on top of me. I then was trying to push you off, but you pinned my arms down and put your leg up my...yeah..to the looks of it you were about to lean into my face again but you stopped almost immediately."

When Sonic was done talking I covered my mouth. I feel myself getting hot and my blush comes back. "I'm- Ack! I didn't hurt you did I? I-I'm so sorry that you had to go through that. You must have hated that. You know, maybe I am going insane right? Right Sonic? You know that wasn't really me who did that to you. Right? Please don't take that the wrong way."

I feel so embarrassed I might just disappear right now. 

"You're fine Tails. It was quite amusing seeing you that way...maybe your insane side has a thing for me, we can use that for some type of advantage?" I look at Sonic, feeling slightly cooler. "Well, that could work...But how and what should we do?"

Sonic taps his foot and pokes his chin with his index finger. "Well... I can make a truce," he said smiling at me, "Since your insane side liked me I can give him what he wants if he doesn't make you do any bad crimes."

"Sonic! I won't let you do that. I don't want you to force yourself to like my other side." Sonic gives me a thumbs up. "Anything for my buddy to feel secure."

I can feel my eyes get watery, but I quickly wipe the tears before they fall. "Thank you Sonic. Just please, please be careful."

    One week has past. Ever since Sonic made that truce I haven't had any issues with my insane side. Sonic also made sure that I wouldn't 'die' each time we would go against Eggman. I felt so happy and felt like I could actually belong, but I couldn't shake the feeling of what 'I' was doing to Sonic. I do try to let Sonic tell me what they have been doing, but he tells me not to worry and runs off.

I'm not complaining about it though. To be fair I'm super thankful for this. I would hate to kill another one of my friends.

I decided to go on a walk to get my mind off things. I venture off where I first met Sonic. I remember his plane laying on the ground just waiting for me to get fixed up...the soon to be X-tornado. 

I sit on the ground and take a good deep breath of air in.

A sting hits my head and I quickly turn around. "Look! It's Miles! The two tailed freak!"
