  I walked down and Sonic was setting down my coffee on a coaster.

"Good morning," he smiled.

"Good morning," I took the mug and sipped it.

"Careful it hot!"

"I don't mind the heat," I sat down with my mug.

"I was afraid you'd burn yourself. You have... um... oh, you have ultra resilience right?" He asked.

"To a degree," I answered as he sat down with his tea, "What about You? Anything special."

"Oh, no. Not really. I can run, but that's about it now. For a while I went beyond the sound barrier with no problem, I still can, but it's just for fun now."

  "Wha-" I practicly choked.

"Are you alright?!" He when straight to me side.

"I... I'm fine. You just said that so calmly. I wasn't expecting that answer," I cleared my throat.

"I'm sorry, was that weird. It must be from old habit," he apologized, "I'll get you some iced water for your throat."

"No, no. It's fine. The burning has already gone," I stopped him.

"Oh, are you sure?"

"I'm sure," I guided him to sit back down, "do you mind me asking what you did before this."

"Oh... well... I... I guess you could say I was a soilder. A fighter for freedom," he answered with only some hesitance, if he was a soilders I wouldn't be surprised if the memories bothered him.

"Hmph, I don't think I could see you fighting."

"Y-yeah, I wasn't always this way. Believe it or not I was tougher a while back."

"You turned out just fine," I gave him a gentle pet between his ears, "in my opinion."

"T-Thanks..." I notice the time of red by his cheeks, it brought out the slight pink of his peach lips, "Oh shoot, I'm late to wake Rouge."

  He took off to wake the bitch bimbo. I sat back. I looked at my right hand, it felt empty... emptier than before. So long as this does t become a problem... I guess it's fine.

  My shoulders kinda ache today. I'll try rubbing them down some later, I've got work to do.

"Rouge, it's time to get up," I nudged her a little and she trapped me under the sheets, "Rouge, let go."

"You're so warm, just stay here for a few hours," she wasn't letting go.

"Rouge, come on. You have work," I couldn't get her to let go.

"I'm not going," she bit my ear.

"Mm! Y-you're gonna get fired... Rouge..."

"Fine..." she groan, "I'll get up."

"Thank you."

"For a kiss."

  I gulped, "I-I really don't think that's necessary-"
