Sonic boys x Reader

Knuckles x daughter!reader: Timid

You are a (A/T)

You always get that small little shy one.

Pure concentration, that was the expression plastered onto the small (A/T)'s face.

"Careful (Y/N), if the wind changes your face will be stuck like that." Knuckles chuckled at her.

She ignored him as she tried to neatly wrap up the box which was going to be a birthday present, as he held down the paper flap for her.

"But I want it to look pretty." she said slowly, finally sticking the piece of cello tape down.

"Well your all done now and you did a good job." he praised her handing her the present covered in multi colour wrapping paper.

"Do you think she'll like it?" (Y/N) asked worriedly holding the present.

"Of course she will Hun, you picked it out after all."

The pair faced the door way to see Rouge walk in.

"Well we'll be leaving soon so why don't you go and grab your shoes and I'll help you put them on." Knuckles suggested to (Y/N).

"Okay!" she chirped handing the present to Rouge.

She then scuttled out the room but as soon as she left Rouge's expression turned into a concerned one and she began to bite her nail.

"Do you really think we should even take her to this party?" she asked worriedly.

The present which (Y/N) had just so carefully wrapped was for Sonic and Amy's daughter whose 9th birthday it was today.

"How else is she going to get better being around people? That and I promised Sonic we'd be there." Knuckles replied.

A few years ago Knuckles and Rouge had finally gotten over their stubbornness and admitted their feelings to one another, leading to them eventually marrying. But kids had never really came into the question.

They were both fond of kids but Rouge couldn't imagine having a child herself, that and it wouldn't really suit her job. But it was actually her job that led the pair of them to adopt the (A/T) (Y/N). A rescue mission had left a orphan child of 3 years old in need of a home, so guess who became adoptive parents.

It had been a year since that day, making (Y/N) 4 years old, nearly five. And the three of them couldn't be happier. However there was one problem with (Y/N).....   

"Yay! (Y/N)'s here!" the birthday girl yelled.

The room was crowded with noisy kids running about playing all sorts of games as music blared in the background. The bouncy hedgehog them came running up to (Y/N) and welcomed her to the party.

"(Y/N)! I'm really happy you could make it!" she said to the small thing.

But (Y/N) was quiet for a second looking at the floor.

"Th-thank you for inviting me, a-and happy birthday." (Y/N) replied, almost a whisper.

"That's alright! Come on we're playing party games!" she said.

She then ran back into the crowd of kids expecting (Y/N) to follow her, but instead as soon as her back was turned she ran up to Knuckles and hid behind him clutching his leg.

"Didn't feel like joining in kiddo?" Knuckles asked her.

Shaking her head rapidly she held onto him harder. Knuckles gave a small sigh and took her hand in his so he would find it easier to walk. 

This was the problem with (Y/N), she was incredibly shy.

And that's how it was for the rest of the party, where ever Knuckles went (Y/N) would follow. She frantically grab for his hand if he had to let go for a second and she was a permanent second shadow, never leaving his side.
