Knuckles x reader: Self Defence

You are a (A/T)

Girls can fight too you know.

"Ooff!"

"(Y/N) I think we should stop."

Panting heavily the tired (A/T) shakily got up ignoring the small cut on her lip. Standing up as straight as she could she put up a sloppy battle stance. 

"No, I can keep going." she huffed.

"Yeah it really looks like it (!)" Knuckled scoffed.

"I'm serious! Come on lets go again!" she urged him.

Giving a small shake of the head he gave in and started to spar again. (Y/N) tried to land the first blow of a punch to the stomach but Knuckles dodged it easily, taking the chance to deliver a sharp kick to the back. She stumbled a little but was able to keep her balance, surprisingly.

Knowing (Y/N) was at her limit though he would have held back but she would know and most likely punch him for it later. And so the the pair continued to fight.

Now training wasn't an odd thing, but the way this training was being carried out and how intense it was, was. A week ago (Y/N) had come to Angel Island to find Knuckles, and she had asked him to teach her self defense and how to fight an opponent. Knuckles had found this request of him odd because (Y/N) was one of the weakest girls he knew, plus she could barely give anyone a gentle slap. She was too good natured to hurt anyone.

And when Knuckles had asked for her reason for the sudden urge to learn how to defend herself, her reply was: "I guess I'm just sick of being useless."

He had tried to tell her that she wasn't useless to the team, but she was persistent, and here they were, the fifth day and fighting for the sixth time that afternoon. But this latest fight ended up with Knuckles kicking (Y/N)'s feet from under her making her painfully land on her back in defeat.

But within a second she was stood up again. 

"Come on lets go again." she urged him again with a more worn out voice.

"(Y/N) this is ridiculous, there's no point carrying on with you this tired." he argued.    

It took some convincing but eventually she called it quits for the day.

"See you here next time tomorrow then." she said tiredly walking off.

"This amount of training isn't healthy for you (Y/N), when are you going to stop!?" he called after her.

"When I'm good enough!" she yelled back.

He shook his head at her again, walking back to the Master Emerald, but there was a surprise waiting for him there.

"Well, well, you sure seemed to be having fun."

"What are you doing here Rouge!?" Knuckles snapped seeing her perched on the ME.

"Why are you so rude Knuckie? I only came to say hello, but I thought I'd wait until after you and (Y/N) had finished sparring, since when does she fight?" she asked still perching on the large gem.

"She came here earlier this week asking me to teach her self defense." he explained simply sitting down, wishing the bat would fly off.

"My, my that doesn't sound like her." she smiled.

There was a pause and Knuckles thought she was going to leave.

"Maybe, she's trying to surprise or impress someone, maybe a crush she has?" Rouge teased.
