A Godly Swap (A Collab OC Story)

Chapter 5

3rd Person P.O.V

Gow was startled by a jump-scare in the game she and Sonic were playing. 'Sonic.EXE'. The former goddess snuggled up next to Sonic, using her startled-ness as an excuse to do so. They both looked at each other and started to laugh. "I thought the goddess of wishes didn't GET scared?~" Sonic smirked at Gow who gave him a nervous smile. ...She didn't. She thought to herself.

Gow cleared her throat and sat up. "So... creepy, right?" "Yes." He said proudly. "I-I mean kinda..." He gave her an unsure look after realizing he proudly said that he was afraid. I'm such an idiot sometimes... "I-It's not really creepy, just a little-" "Sonic." "Y-Yeah..?" "...Stop being afraid of yourself. And well... sometimes, it's ok to admit you're scared." Sonic nodded anxiously. "Y-Yeah... I know."

Sonic was nervous. "...It's ok for you to do that too, y'know?" "Hm?" "...Admit you're scared. Sometimes you say you're startled... and I believe that... but I've seen you. In battle, face to face with your worst enemy... you don't seem scared. But I'd know better than anyone that not everything is as it seems... especially when it comes to emotions. So... when you're scared... will you tell me?"

He put his hand on her cheek. "...I can't make that promise. But I can make that effort." They blushed when they realized Sonic's hand was on her cheek and he pulled his hand away into his lap. They looked away from each other with blush on their cheeks...

Gow suddenly spoke up. "...I'm worried." Sonic was confused. "About?" Gow thought for a second and sighed. "...Nevermind." She gently leaned into him, the hedgehog's eyes widening in surprise before looking down at her. Gow's eyes slowly shut peacefully, leaning her head against Sonic's cool chest, a small purring noise coming from his mouth. Sonic stared, his jaw dropping slightly, his face turning red, a small smile creeping onto his face.

I hope Savage is ok...I couldn't live with myself if something happened to him! Gow thought to herself, her smile completely disappearing.

An awkward silence fell upon them.

"...Do you wanna get a snack-?" "YES." Gow answered immediately, turning to face him with her blush disappearing, making Sonic laugh a little, and have his blush fade as well. "Haven't eaten in a while?" Gow sighed. "No... no time to eat breakfast in the mornings, I'm not home at lunch time, and I don't get to eat dinner often. I also don't have time for snacks..." Sonic looked at his friend sympathetically. "Well... let's go get a snack then. I'm taking you out for ice cream. I heard it tastes better when you're starving."

Sonic jumped up and smirked down at his friend while offering her a hand to get up. She smiled up at him and took his hand so he could pull her up. "Wanna race?" Gow internally panicked. She couldn't exactly keep up with him anymore. "Actually... wanna walk?" Sonic smiled at her. "Whatever m'lady starve-pants says." He smirked.

Gow rolled her eyes at the nickname as Sonic sped to the door and opened it for her, being a mock gentleman by bowing playfully with a smirk still planted on his face. Gow chuckled playfully in response and walked to the door and exited the home, the azure hedgehog following behind her before speeding up next to her, making both of them laugh.

Gow looked back and then at Sonic, clearing her throat. He was confused for a second, but then quickly rushed back to close the door he had opened before and sped back over to Gow, wrapping his arm around her, a little nervous, and Gow blushes a little, rolling her eyes playfully at him. "Don't forget to close the door, hedgie." He pouted at her in response, but wrapped his arm around her, the wolf doing the same in response.

Sonic rolled his eyes. "I can forget whatever. Nobody lives around here anyways." Gow rolled her eyes back at him. "Still, it's dangerous and you know that." Sonic chuckles and smirks at her. "...I LIVE for danger, goddess~"
