The Ruby Eyes of Affection

Sympathy is the best medicine

Rob waltzed in with his hips swaying in the usual fashion as he entered the rather cozy cottage. Thankfully the inside wasn't BRIGHT pink like the exterior. It was mainly white with a bunch of adorable pastel greens and purples. Rob would consider it a tad outdated, but it had a strange charm to it. As he walked into the living room he noticed countless pictures of the azure hedgehog above the fireplace. Most of them were of him doing relatively ordinary things like playing volleyball with friends or just chilling but one picture threw the brunet hedgehog a little off-guard. It was Sonic in a sparkly leotard doing a cartwheel in front of a huge crowd of excited fans. He looked relatively young, maybe around ten or so and he had to admit the little cobalt looked quite adorable. Rob, being a dancer himself, could really appreciate beautiful technique and even though it was a motionless picture, he could tell how perfect Sonic's form was.

"Please sit... I know those pictures are great and all but you don't need to stare at him in such a peculiar fashion." Amy asked slightly sarcastically before placing a glass of cold water on the side table next to the floral sofa.

Rob smiled sarcastically before gently plopping his body onto the couch. He leaned his head back as he finally started to relax after all the chaos that happened. Amy also took a seat next to him as she chuckled a little. She had to admit that even though she knew this guy was completely gay, he was very charming. Not really the kind of person she was used to talking with.

"What's this a picture of by the way?" Rob asked curiously as he pointed at the photo he was looking at before.

"Oh that's of Sonic when he was about thirteen. He was the youngest ever all-around world champion in artistic gymnastics. You can see why. He's an amazing tumbler. It's a shame that he had toquit soon after though." She responded before shrugging in slight disappointment.

She was one of those screaming fans after all. He was unbelievable, as a matter of fact, one move that most people call the spin dash was actually named after him. But he begged them to not actually use his name when talking about the move. He'd rather everyone called it a double tuck front, which is what it was.

"He had to quit? Why so young? He still looks like he can perform, at least in my eyes." Rob replied as he took a very elegant sip of his water.

Much like Shadow, Rob's body was in his complete control. Every move he did rather it be walking, running, writing, drinking or eating was all done with crisp and elegant accuracy. As he swallowed his water he noticed Amy's slightly embarrassed look as she sort of glanced to the side. At first he thought he did something uncomfortable but soon realized it was because of his impeccable almost lady like stance. He let out a small chuckle as this wasn't the first time a woman got blushy just by the mere moving of his arm.

"Oh, I'm sure he would blow everyone out of the water but he just couldn't deal with all the publicity. He gets rather irritated with constant attention, especially from a crowd and raving fans. He also had some issues with his trainers. The government forced him to do very strict routines with a very harsh diet. They practically starved him, which is why he is so much skinnier now. In the end, I suppose it was for the best. The actual full reason he quit is very hush hush. The government was very keen on keeping everything involved with him retiring very quiet. I can show you some videos if you want. He was fantastic. Then again, he's amazing at many things. Why are you so interested?" Amy murmured shyly as she almost hid her face behind her drink.

This guy was too perfect... She could barely stand it. In an odd way, it almost made her feel jealous. This guy probably got more men in one week then she could get in her entire lifetime, not that she blamed them.

(The things I would do to be that perfect...)

"Oh... I'm a dancer. I took ballet for a good ten years and tap for six. I love it. Really good for my physical and mental health. I wish I could take up rhythmic gymnastics myself but, unfortunately, it's a female-only sport." He exclaimed happily as even the word "dance" got his blood pumping with excitement.
