honorable knight Lancelot [Sonadow]

The honorable knight, Lancelot

Author's POV
The azure hedgehog's room was silent and peaceful, the only source of light can be seen were from the window as the moonlight illuminated the sleeping hero's face on his hospital bed. In the middle of the night his eyes fluttered open after feeling a familiar unpleasant sensation in his lower body, he sat on the bed sensing the need to go to the bathroom

"I need to pee.." he muttered quietly to himself, he lifted his legs from the bed and hang them on the edge before touching the cold tiled floor, his eyes darts around the dimly lit room looking for his shoes and socks but due to the lights being off he couldn't spot it. Sonic glance on his wrist that was connected with a long thin tube to the saline bag

"Ugh..seriously? I'm going to be discharge tomorrow why do they had to put this stupid thing on me?" He muttered in frustration and annoyance, sonic felt trapped on his bed and he couldn't walk freely because of it so he had one more option, to call out for a nurse to help him

"Hello? Can someone help me here? I need to use the bathroom!...hey!" He called out hoping that someone could hear him from the outside, then suddenly the door opened revealing someone he didn't expect to see. Lancelot

"is everything alright sire?" The knight asked in concern as he close the door behind him. Sonic's eyes widen slightly in confusion seeing the knight entering his room

"Why are you here? No wait- answer that later, l really need to use the bathroom, can you turn on the lights for me?" Sonic was still puzzled but he has to put his needs first and that was the bathroom.

The knight slightly tilted his head not understanding what he meant. At the kingdom he usually light a candle on his work desk to do his study at night and by the saying of turning on the lights puzzled him

"turn on the lights? How do you turn the lights on sire?"

"Oh right- there's a switch thingy on the wall besides you, reach your hand out to it" sonic gestured his finger from where the knight was standing and the wall closest to the door. The knight nodded in understanding and did what he was instructed, once the light turn on the knight helped the azure hedgehog to get to the bathroom and patiently waited for him to finish doing his business.

After sonic was done he sat back down on the bed his gaze turning to the knight who was now sitting om a chair close by to his bed

"When did you come here? Aren't visiting hours over?" Sonic asked

"I have not left, my lady suggested for me to stay by your side Incase danger could be lurking around" the knight answered bluntly

"You mean rouge? So, you have been standing outside guarding my room?"

"Yes sire"

"You don't have to lance, you should head to tails's workshop and get some sleep"

"I appreciate your concern over my health, however rest assured l am trained and prepared for whatever it is for me to face" the knight answered confidently of himself

"Right-..uh hey lance, can l talk to you about something? I want to hear your honest opinion on this"

"Of course my Lord, what would you like to talk about?"

The azure hedgehog felt a pang of hesitation about sharing his thoughts to the knight, his fingers fidget slightly due to nervousness and his gaze stared on the tiled floor

"Well..uh...this is going to be an embarrassing question but..How can you tell if someone has feelings for you?.."

The knight raised a brow at the azure hedgehog's question but didn't questioned it after seeing the blue hedgehog's nervousness meant he has been feeling restless and desperate to know the answer of his bewildered mind

"I for one have no knowledge from a subject titled love and romance, l simply cannot stand it, however, if my lord is curious l shall answer with honesty. A love can be seen through the eyes of a person and a show of affectionate gesture"

"Through the eyes of a person and a show of affectionate gesture?...l don't understand but it make sense- then, how do you know if you have fallen in love with this person?"

The knight fell silent, realizing the azure hedgehog's question were somewhat amusing. He is basically exposing himself to the knight that he has a crush on someone, the knight thought for a moment that this questions seems to remind him of himself and his king back at the kingdom.

"The only way to know is for you to realize it sire, l am no love teacher, l am king Arthur's knight." The knight answered bluntly but there was a hint of amusement in his voice

Sonic slightly flinched from the knight's statement, he averted his gaze in embarrassment while scratching his cheek using his finger, he was taken aback that he was figured out by the knight's sharpness of observing him

"You think so?...well, l guess..l don't know yet...this person seems to be unreadable and l don't know if my feelings will be worth it to show.."

The knight stared silently at the azure hedgehog after hearing his response while reading his body language, the blue blur stared down to his hands fidgeting slightly, and a small frown formed on his lips.

"I may not know who this person you spoke of, however, what you're feeling is the honest truth and that is all that matters"

Sonic's eyes softens from the knight's statement, he lifted his head and let out a quiet chuckle realizing that he wasn't wrong. As long as his intentions are pure and true nothing else matters. The azure hedgehog turn his gaze to the knight giving him a serious look, the mention of king Arthur lead him to remember the situation back at the field before eggman's attack and he didn't wanna miss his chance on forgetting it again

"Lance..back at the field..before what happened against egghead..l heard king Arthur's voice..he demanded me to bring you to him.."

-somewhere in a faraway forest-

It was a quiet night, birds were sleeping in their nest cuddled up with their partner and chicks, frogs were croaking faintly on their pond, fireflies flying slowly giving light in the dark forest until the silence was interrupted by footsteps, running on dead leaves creating soft muffled noises on the ground at a distance

"Stop running! You're injured! Stop!"
A concern hedgehog called out, running towards the other hedgehog ahead of him

the dark hedgehog remained quiet and focused on running away from the one who was trying to keep up with his pace, he had a large cut on his arm as his blood roll down and drip from his finger to the ground making a bloody trail of evidence.

"I found you....join me and we will destroy who gets in our way..mephiles"

"No! Don't! It's not worth it!" The concern hedgehog warned reaching his hand out to the dark hedgehog

"Let's join hands and get the blue rodent a piece of his medicine"
