Playful Love

Confession

Sonic sat back his fingers tired and eyes sore. He looked up at the fox. "Great! Because I'm starving!"

"First battle of many." Tails sat at the table. The chili dogs were steaming warm.

"Yes! I Shall be the victor again!" Sonic said posing like a champion and laughing. Sonic took a seat at the table across from the fox.

Tails giggled. He stared at the hedgehog. His eyes glistening.

"What?" Sonic said noticing the smile. This made Sonic grin as well.

"I'm just so happy we get to spend so much time together. I think Pinky gets a little mad about that." He referenced to the pink hedgehog, Amy. He began to eat.

"I am too." Sonic began eating as well. "Who cares if Amy gets a little butthurt?" Sonic said thinking annoyed. "Besides, I love spending time with you, I don't care what others think."

"Butthurt? What does that mean?" Tails asked not familiar with the phrase.

"It just means she gets a little upset over something she doesn't have a reason to be upset over," Sonic said sighing. "Wow, this sure is spicy alright," Sonic said his eyes huge.

Tails slid over some milk. "Here you go."

"Thanks, you always have my back," Sonic said drinking the milk. It left a little mustache of white above his mouth. "Do I look like an old version of Eggman?" Sonic said laughing.

"No, not at all." Tails laughed.

"Is that sarcasm I hear?" Sonic said with one eyebrow raised and a grin.

"Sonic, Eggman is already old. He is the only human we know, so unless you turn into a human, you won't look like him." Tails said stating the facts.

"This is true," Sonic said thinking. "Though I'm obviously not as good looking as Eggman's mustache," Sonic said with some sarcasm and smiling.

"I'm sure you are to someone." He hinted to Amy again. Tails finished his chili dog.

Sonic sighed and couldn't finish his chili dog, he had a lot on his mind. He set it down thinking.

Tails got up and took the plates. He began cleaning them off.

"Tails, I'm sorry," Sonic said putting his head on the table.

"'For what?" Tails said putting the clean dishes away and sitting back down.

"I really want to tell you something but I can't." Sonic sighed and got up. He went over to the couch and sat down.

"Why not?' Tails asked concerned and sitting next to him.

Sonic twiddled his fingers. "Tails,...It's complicated." Sonic said his head down. "I don't want to ruin...." Sonic's voice trailed off.

"You won't ruin something that hasn't been started, Sonic." Tails reasoned.

Sonic sighed and looked at the fox. "Tails....I...I think I....well I'm sure I...." Sonic's voice trailed off.

Tails waddled slightly curious to know what was on the hedgehog's mind.

Sonic looked deep into those ocean blue eyes. He looked down. "I love you Tails." He said quietly. It was like a faint whisper. Sonic's heart beat fast, he could feel his body beginning to tense up from revealing his deepest most profound secret. "What would he think? How would he feel?" Were some of the many questions running through the hedgehog's mind. Sonic awaited an answer from the fox.....
