Sonic X Reader: Behind the Scenes (A Sonic Forces Fanfiction)

Chapter 7

It didn't take long to get to the city, with the speed Sonic and yourself had, it only took a mere few seconds. You looked around, not noticing much difference to the destroyed city, and wondering if there really was an attack.

Sonic was looking around too, scanning the area for a 'metal' version of himself. A robot Eggman had made in an attempt to match his speed and agility.

Well, that's all you knew.

"I can't see him yet..." The hedgehog muttered, scratching his head, "But Amy can't have been lying..."

You frowned slightly, before looking around and jumping onto a higher rock. Sonic watched you, tilting his head.

"What are you up to Rookie?"

You glanced at him, giving him a shrug and taking in the area again. Still only ruined buildings and empty streets. Sonic eventually joined you on the rock, sitting next to you and taking in the depressing city.

"A lot happened in my time away huh..?" He asked, his voice seeming strained, "Man.. I hope we can do this..."

You raised a brow and glanced at him. Was he having doubts about the war? That didn't sound right. You nudged his leg slightly and tilted your head when he raised his own.

"Oh, don't mind me." He chuckled lightly, waving his hand, "Just still trying to take it all in."

You sighed and nodded, before crossing your arms and going back to scanning the area. Where is this stupid robot? You were starting to get fidgety. But you weren't sure if it was because you wanted to fight, or because Sonic was sitting so close to you.

You sighed and, taking another glance at the city, sat next to him. He gave a side-ways look, before chuckling.

"So, were you always this silent? You could give Shadow a run for his money when he isn't plotting plans and attacks."

You stared at him, before your ears lowered and you shook your head. He blinked, clearly not expecting the answer or reaction.

"I'm sorry, touchy subject?"

Hugging your knees, you nodded, before resting your cheek on your arm. You stared down into the ruins of the city, picturing it before it was destroyed, the colour it had, the memories of friends and family.

God you hoped your family was safe.

"Hey..." You jumped as Sonic placed a hand on your shoulder, "Sorry for asking.. You just, you're a mystery. To everyone. We don't even know your name, you know?"

He tried an awkward chuckle, before standing, "Anyway, we should find that scrap metal look-a-like, before he hurts someone."

You nodded and stood next to him, still staring at the blue hedgehog. Why was he so nice? He had a point, no one knew who you were, so why should anyone trust you? All they knew about you before you joined was that you destroyed Eggman's ship.

Yeah okay that is a pretty big deal.

But still...

Just before he could jump down, you grabbed his arm. Your muzzle turned pink and your ears laid back in embarrassment as he glanced back a you, a brow arched. You took a deep breath, trying to calm your nerves.

"(Y...Y/N)..." You mumbled.

The hedgehog blinked, "(Y/N)?"

You nodded slowly, letting his arm go. He smiled at you and gave you the thumbs up.

"Well then (Y/N), lets go!"

And with that, you both jumped, taking off into the city.
