Sonic Characters x Reader One-shots

(Rouge x Fem!Reader) My favourite jewel

As you stroll down the close to silent street, you stare down at the series of diamonds laced around your neck, attentively tracing a finger along each jewel. They sparkle like the ripples of a lake in a mid-summer day, even in the barely existent light - it's nearing dark. Glancing at the bat walking beside you, you think back to just how you got here.

"Hurry up, (Y/n)," Rouge called from up above, seeming to gain speed. "I am not missing that sale on designer jewellery."

"Alright, alright, hold your horses," you giggled as you tried to keep up with her.

No more than ten minutes ago, Rouge had pried you away from the comfort of your lounge so you could join her on a little shopping spree. Not necessarily what you were planning to do on your Sunday (you'd honestly prefer to stay in and watch television) but you supposed a little shopping would be fun. And besides, if there was a sale on jewellery, you wouldn't have to worry about your winged friend stealing anything.

Again.

It hadn't taken long before the two of you arrived at your desired destination but, unfortunately, it didn't last long. You had barely gotten a chance to admire the series of dazzling gems when you were dragged out by the very bat who had been begging to go there. She claimed that they weren't genuine - they were merely fakes. That made the sudden disappointment slapped onto her face all the more understanding. Honestly, you felt bad. She appeared to be so eager to get her hands on some precious stones, yet the journey there was in vain. Or, at least, it would've been.

You clicked your fingers, catching her attention, and gave a smile of reassurance. "Hey, who needs those fake little treasures anyway? I think I saw some sweet dresses on the way in here that we can check out, instead. Whaddya' say?"

That iconic smirk of hers returned and the two of you ventured towards the dress shop. You were met with a flurry of colours, fabrics, and lace. It made for choosing a lot trickier but it was also entertaining picking out a wide variation of outfits. By the end of it, you had as many as a dozen dresses to try on. As for Rouge, she was more than happy to just help you pick out the dresses and wait as you tried them on.

You had gotten through most of the dresses, happily complying to show the bat each and everyone one of them, when Sonic showed up? 'What on Mobius is he doing here?' you thought to yourself as you stepped out from the changing room in the tenth? eleventh? dress; you lost count.

"What brings you here, blue?" Rouge asked, curiously quirking a brow.

Said hedgehog whipped his head side to side, in every which direction. "Hiding from Amy. This was the closest store."

'Ah, that makes sense.'

"Nice dress, by the way," he complemented with a thumbs up but the charming façade disappeared completely when a devilish smirk replaced his toothy grin. "Although, I'm sure it'd look better on Rouge's floor."

Turning bright red, your whole body stiffened. To be perfectly honest, you weren't entirely sure what just happened, only that you were reduced to a blushing, sputtering mess. Rouge, however, seemed to find it rather amusing.

"Are you hitting on (Y/n)... for me?" she inquired with a light laugh.

Sonic only responded with a wink. You couldn't take it anymore! Within an instant, you scurried back off into the changing room in an attempt to at least try and recompose yourself. Ignoring the previous situation, you changed back into your original clothing and picked out your favoured dress, which just so happened to be the one you were previously wearing. It hadn't been chosen because of Sonic's comment - it was purely because you liked it's style. That's what you were clarifying with yourself, at least.

Rouge continued to not-so-subtly smirk to herself the whole time you purchased the dress and headed out of the store to look for something to eat and you couldn't feel more embarrassed. The speed demon's (demon feeling very literal in this case) very, very unnecessary remark would have probably made it obvious to the suave Mobian walking beside you that you saw her as more than a friend. It was in that moment that you mentally slapped your idiotic self, wishing you could just turn back time to when you had admitted these feelings to Sonic and kept your mouth shut.

Being so caught up in your thoughts, you hadn't even realised that Rouge was waving your favourite sandwich in your face with a soda. You forced a small smile and graciously thanked her but you had honestly lost your appetite. Sensing your blue mood, the bat put aside both of your meals and took your hand, dragging you out of the mall and into the streets of Station Square that were just gradually cleaning themselves of working citizens returning to their homes. You allowed her to do so without question, being far too stunned by the sudden action to question it in the first place and once you two had gotten to a more secluded part of town, that's when Rouge stopped. She turned to face you and that's when you noticed the chain of sparkles spilling from her between her fingers.

She presented it to you with both hands holding either side of the spectacular string of diamonds, smirking softly. "A jewel for a jewel."

"What?! Rouge, that looks expensive!" Her comment had flown way over your head. "Please don't tell me you spent loads on a necklace for me while I wasn't looking."

"Whoever said I paid for it?" she asked in an amused chuckle.

Your eyes widened even more than they already were as your mouth fell agape. It made sense now; she hurried out of the jewellery store as quickly as you had arrived because she had shoplifted.

"That doesn't make it any better! If you stole it, you should take it back."

Rouge chuckled again, finding your little outbursts of surprise incredibly amusing and adorable. She stepped ever so much closer to you before suddenly connecting her lips with yours. Had you not been so taken aback, you probably would've kissed her back immediately but you stood there with wide eyes for a moment or two before your eyes finally fluttered shut. Hesitantly, you placed your hands on her hips since she had wrapped her arms around your neck. When the two of you pulled away for a moment, much to your dismay, a smirk tugged at Rouge's lips and she started walking away empty handed. That's when you finally registered it and looked down to be met with multiple paragons resting on your chest.

Speechless, you started walking to catch up with her, eyes focused on your new accessory. Rouge watched you with a gently smile. She may love rhinestones and crystals and gems of all kinds but none of them compared to you: her favourite jewel.

I bet some of you guys were expecting a Sonic x Reader or Shadow x Reader as the first oneshot to start this book but nope! It's a Rouge x Female Reader.
Surprise~
I thought it'd be a nice change from the usual thing and I've never come across a Rouge x Female Reader before so, again, it's just something a little different.
Plus, a very good friend of mine helped me the the idea and I just had to write it. This same friend has also helped with a lot of other ideas for my writing (not just in this book), so a lot of credit for her!

Anyway, I hoped you guys enjoyed this part! I apologise for any mistakes if there were any and if anyone has any suggestions for future oneshots, please don't hesitate to leave a comment or pm me if you're more comfortable doing it that way.
I will just say, I can't imagine I'll be doing any lemons or smuts but if enough people really want to see that kind of thing I might - and this is a big might - consider it.
I can't wait to see what kind of ideas you beautiful people have.

Chao chao for now~!
