Sonadow-A Knight's Love

Chapter 2-Take a Break

They went to prepare a nice bath for Lancelot, a bath only the king would get. Lancelot started to take off his armor.  

"Okay, I'll be in my room when your done." Sonic said. 

"W-Wait." Lancelot said. 

Sonic turned around and looked at him. 

"C-Can you stay?" 

Sonic's face turned bright red. 

Why would he ask him to do such a thing?

"Sure. I-If your okay with it." 

Lancelot nodded. 

He took off all his armor and got in the tub while Sonic sat next to it. 

"Why did you want me to stay?" Sonic asked. 

"I don't know. I guess I just don't like the silence." 

"You can sing right?" 

"What?" 

"That's what I do sometimes. When I don't like the silence, I sing. It's fun. Try it!" Sonic said smiling. 

"I-I can't sing. My voice is too low for the songs that people sing." 

"Not one song?" 

"...I know one that I hum... no. I can't sing it." 

"You have to do what the king says." 

"I-I'm sorry my king. I can't." 

"I order you to." 

"No."

Sonic sighed. 

"Fine."

"So where did you come from?" Lancelot asked. 

"Mobius. I guess it's sorta like the future. No one is really as serious, instead of a king there's a president, I mean in some places. It's overall more chill and fun. That's why I don't act serious and all that." Sonic explained. 

"Are there still knights of the Round Table?" 

"No... No knights at all."

"D-Do you have a girlfriend?" 

There was a pause. 

"No, I... I think I like someone... here in this world." Sonic said. 

Lancelot looked at him.

"Who? The Lady of the Lake?" Lancelot teased. 

"Nah, not my type. Hey, would it be wrong if I loved a knight?" Sonic asked. 

"N-No. Not at all. Is it Percival?" 

"No. I don't think I want to say right now. Well I'll leave you to bathe. I'll be in my room. See ya." Sonic said heading out. 

Lancelot just sat there and thought for a while. Why was Sonic being so nice to him? This isn't how a king usually acts. Knights don't deserve such luxuries like this, not unless their special, which Lancelot didn't really think he was. What were the others going to say about this?

He finished his bath and went back out to Sonic in his armor. 

"What is my next order my king?" He asked. 

"Lancelot, take off your armor. Come on, you're supposed to be relaxing." Sonic said. 

He took off his armor and sat on the bed. 

"Lancelot, have you ever wished you were king?" Sonic asked. 

He thought for a moment.

"N-Not really. Why?"

"I don't know. I just kinda think you'd make a great king. You know how to do everything and you're a very skilled knight." Sonic said.

"Thank you my lord, but I don't think I would be a good king. Not everyone has the ability to rule no matter how much it may seem like it." Shadow said, sounding a bit down.

"I wanna get some fresh air. Does this castle have a garden?" Sonic asked. 

"Y-Yes. There are a lot of flowers. Would you like me to escort you?" Lancelot asked. 

"Hey don't say it like that. We're going to hang out together." Sonic said. 

"I-I need to put my armor on." Lancelot said.

"Nah, why?" 

"I can't have the others see me without it."

"Eh, if they tease you they'll get it from me."

"No, please my king. I feel better with it on." 

"Okay, as long as your happy with it." 

"Yes, thank you." 

Lancelot put his armor on and they went to the garden. 

Sonic smiled at the sight of so many beautiful flowers. He ran around and looked and smelled all of them. Lancelot smiled at the sight of seeing him so happy. He started to blush a little. 

"Wow! These roses are so pretty! Look Sha...dow..." 

Sonic looked down. 

"My king, what's wrong?" Lancelot asked. 

"Oh, nothing. Just thinking of someone. Look, aren't these roses pretty?" Sonic asked. 

"Yes, they are." 

They hung out and talked in the garden for an hour and then went back inside. Sonic found something disturbing. Sir Gawain was walking, he was covered in blood and he was limping. 

"Knu-Gawain! What happened?!" Sonic asked running to him. 

"Nothing too big my king. No need to worry. Someone challenged me to a duel, and I defeated him." 

"We have to get you fixed up! Now!" Sonic said panicking. 

Lancelot put his hand on Sonic's shoulder and pulled him so where they could talk alone. 

"Sonic, you can't go to a knight and treat them like that." 

"What? I can't care for them? He's hurt! He needs medical attention!" 

"And he will get that. He'll be fine, trust me. We've all been through worse." 

Lancelot took off his chest armor and turned around. Sonic saw a long scar on his back between his back quills.

"Lancelot..." 

"It's nothing so don't worry abou-" "No. He's hurt. I don't care if it's big or not, I care about my knights." Sonic said. 

He helped Gawain get medical treatment. After a few minutes Gawain was alright. It was night at this point and Sonic was very tired. 

"Is there anything you need my king?" Lancelot asked.

"Stay. Stay for the night. I could use the company." Sonic said with a yawn.
