Damages

Somewhere Else

While that was going on....

The sound of two laughing children could be hear down the aisle as both the blue and brown hedgehogs tossed a small pebble to the wall and watched it drop back again. What made them laugh was the bets they were making if the pebble bounced back far enough to touch them. "Your turn." Sonic insisted and gave him the small rock. He hasn't had much fun in so long, or at least, ever since Scourge had passed away. As his eyes were filled with joy like his familiar smile, he was crying on the inside. He knew that this child would not last. The blue hedgehog did not want this new friend to perish at the arms of society that were intentionally suppose to be on HIS side. Sonic knew Scourge was going to die, but he dared not mention it, and now the same event is occurring, for now he is spending any moment he can with his loyal fan before his time was up.

Rudy gave Sonic a small push on the arm. He turned around and looked at the boy, "Where were you? You seemed spaced off or something." The blue one nodded, "No, just thinking things..." The brown one put the rock down and came closer to his hero, "Do you.. Want to talk about it." Sonic's eyes looked at his friend's face. Scourge had been wearing the exact same look before they were in a more serious conversation. Sonic tried to sustain himself, but.. He was led off by a drench of tears. Rudy was very confused, 'Did I say something?' he thought. He tried patting him on the back, but his friend continued to sob. "Uh.. It's okay. You don't have to tell me." Like a faucet, he immediately stopped. Everything was silent.... His head turned towards Rudy. The brown one noticed Sonic's eyes were a paler green and his fear began to show, "A-Are you scared?" "YES! I AM! I ADMIT IT!" the teenager yelled with pouring tears still floating in his eyes and continued, "I'VE SEEN MANY DIE BEFORE ME! I'VE SEE THE LIVE BE KILLED! I HAVE SEEN MANY THINGS RUDOLPH! I-- I-"

There are many types of people. The good, the bad, and the ones in between. Then there are the bottom ones, like Rudy, who happened to be stupid enough to do this. Sonic' eyes widened. 'Is this really happening?' he asked himself. Rudy had his arms around his 'hero' and his lips on the other hedgehog as well! Then, after 2 seconds of mishap and confusion, he finally let go when he noticed what he just had done. He wiped his mouth with his arm and turned away, blushing, "I-I'm sorry about that. Just.. Lost myself right there for a second." Sonic interrupted, but also stuttered, "Do-Do you 'like like' me?" Rudy gulped, he felt extremely embarrassed, "You could say that." The hedgehog only blinked, he didn't really understand why the world his friend had done such a thing. Then, he looked down, not facing him, "Rudy... It's not that I don't love you, even if I really don't,.. I just can't accept the fact that you're gay."

"You don't like me cause I'm a homosexual?!" asked the brown hedgehog, whimpering at the scene to cause a bit drama. "No. It's not that." Sonic paused for a moment and thought, 'Why the hell am I so irresistible?' he then shook the thought up, 'Do I tell him?' He sighed and continued with the truth in his throat and spoke crying, "Rudy, I... I was tortured... by someone who wanted me, he... he killed some new friends and one I knew. He... didn't let me leave til he got what he wanted.. But he didn't get it." The brown one was left in deep confusion. He did not know how to react. "D-Do you think I would do something like that to you?" Sonic nodded no, "That's not what I mean. It's just.. So hard to forget these things." "... I don't get you?" "I know you wouldn't." "Who did it?"

His green eyes looked towards Rudy's almond colored ones, "It was... Sh-" the gates opened and they quickly separated into corners. A dark, bulky man walked towards the cell and unlocked the door. "Sonic, you got a visitor." he said. The blue one looked back at Rudy one last time and slowly walked out of the gate.

He walked passed the aisles slowly and looked both ways with the officer in back of him. He saw many males stare at him with hateful eyes, most of them were the same ones that were jumping him hours ago at the crappy shower rooms. The walls were filled with cracks and there was signs of newly painted walls over cracks. The dark man behind him held the young one's cuffs tightly to assure that he would not escape. He wasn't really interested in escaping or not because he still felt like pondering about Rudy.
