Sonic X Reader *ON HOLD UNDER EDITING PROCESS SORRY*

Chapter 6

Sirens flared from behind the both of you and you both quickly turned towards it. Lights could be seen flashing from far away and a single troop was getting closer, followed not too far behind by many. They cut down plants, animals and other creatures. You grab Sonic's hand and drag him as he stares back in horror as the only part of home he had was cut down by eager SWAT members run by selfish scientists. You run into the house where Trmix and Tails were in the middle of a conversation on the couch. "WE NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW!!!" you yelled in desperation. Sonic turned to them and nodded, sniffing slightly. You had heard it, though and turned around. Your blue friend's eyes were a very very soft pink on the edges.

Your eyebrows furrowed in worry as he turned around. "Tails, they're coming... they've cut down most of the forest from Mobius," he said with his back to everyone.

"What?!" Tails exclaimed, standing. Remix stood too. "We could hang at (Y/N)'s house. No one is ever really there except her." Tails turned to you with pleading eyes at Remix's suggestion. You looked at him a moment before nodding and in a flash you all ran to your house. Tails held onto Remix and flew while Sonic carried you and the three of you fled through the forest around trees and over rocks and stumps. The police would probably suspect you, but you knew they wouldn't be at your house 24/7 so no one really worried.

Once ylu got to your house, Sonic and Tails set the two of you down and the three of you walked in. Self-conscious, you start picking up stuff and tidying up things. Sonic said through a less shakey voice than before, "Really nice place you have here, (Y/N)." You blush at the little comment. Thank god your back was turned. "T-T-Thanks..." you stutter as you clear all the dishes. Remix and Tails sat on the couch and she talked to him. Something she asked triggered something and he started to tear up. You didn't bother to pry and went into the other room to escape when you see Sonic sitting against a wall with his knees ticked in and his head down. You look the scene over a moment before walking over to him. You sat next to the blue hedgehog and bent you head down to get a view of his face. "Sonic? Sonic are you okay?" you say in a soft voice, but it still seemed to startle him as he jumped and looked to you almost on fear. His eyes are wet and his eyes a dark pink and red. "Oh... (Y/N)..." he says in a shakey, cracked voice. He sits back down and turns his head to you. "Yeah... i think I'll be fine..."

"Why are you crying?" you ask in a worried voice.

"Well... " he starts before swallowing. "That part of the forest was the only thing that wasn't alien to me. It was familiar and nice to have if i ever got homesick and now it's.... " and he trailed off and bit his lip as tears threatened to spill again. Sonic then buried his face in his arms as his shoulder shook and you heard whimpering. You didn't think any less of him for it. You remembered being the same way about your dad's things. He had died when you were four due to a work accident. You freaked out whenever one of his things breaked or went missing.

Sonic sat there a minute or two before he felt a pair of nimble arms wrap themselves around his waist. He looked to you and saw they were yours. His puffy cheeks went red as he took in your warmth. You looked up to him with caring eyes which made his face turn a darker shade of red. "Please don't cry, Sonic," you pleaded, hating to see him that way. He only nodded and hugged you back. "Thank you, (Y/N)," he said in a small shaky voice into your ear. This made YOU blush and you nodded.

"Anything for you, Sonic."
