— Sonic's POV —

It has been months since the little incident. Well, I can't even forgot that scene at all. The kisses is, I can't say it is totally sh*t, but I am very sure that he doesn't worth my first kiss.

Every night, the image of Fleetway kept flashing in my mind. I just couldn't survive another night if he kept haunting my mind. His 'mind trick' was just way too powerful to me. What made me feel more stressful was, you couldn't actually let the others knew that their little 'hero' has some sleeping problems. They would be freaked out if they had any little chance to know I am not in a perfect state because I 'was' here to protect them. If I couldn't save myself, how could I help them?

Speaking of which, last night was the same and I kept having the weird dream. I wonder, how can I erase the image?

-Dream-

I was in the middle of the battlefield, again. I fed up with this scene as it made me remember the incident with Fleet— I mean, Fleetway.

"Well, if it isn't Sonic the Hedgehog..."

I noticed a golden hedgehog in front of me. He is a few inches apart from me which made me feel uneasy.

"I wonder, why the little hero of this world, is fighting alone? I mean, why don't you bring your teammates?"

I flinched. How come he figured that out? He is insane at all. Tails is too weak compared to him and Knuckles always excuses himself by telling me how important guarding his Master Emerald.

"So the little hero is as single as hell? How amusing."

His taunting skill was as well very high and successfully made me enraged. However, I was no longer in my super form, I was only an ordinary hedgehog, full of bruise.

"A few last words before sending you to death: you will be alone, forever, just like me" I had a feeling that he was just stating the truth.

He clawed deep inside my chest and reached my heart, preparing to tear it apart...

— Reality —

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" I screamed to nobody in the middle of night. "Stupid nightmare..." I mumbled to myself.

I wouldn't dare return to my sleep because it means another nightmare. Normally I would like to have a run in the forest, but I was in deep thought.

'You will be alone forever'

While my mind was going through the nightmare, I stopped at the sentence. Should I call it a curse? Well, it seemed like a fact. In my heroic life, I had never considered my 'partner for life'. I knew if I announced that I had no relationship with anyone, many fangirls would rush towards my house. But that's not what I want. I noticed that I need a person who comforts me, who cares me, who loves me.

Why would I dare to have thoughts on having a relationship? Having a relationship is equals to having kisses and the little demon in my mind would be unsealed. My head ached very much thanks to the demon! 

I suddenly wanted to release Fleetway, the little demon inside my mind. I fed up with his mind trick! He makes me insane as you can tell from what I was thinking. No! I couldn't stay a day longer with Fleetway in my mind!

I definitely need a partner.

I think you guys realised why I use the word 'partner' instead of 'girlfriend'. The next chapter would be here soon after I decide his 'partner'!
