Outside the Portal (Silver the Hedgehog x Reader fanfiction)

Part 2

You were gonna start walking until a furred hand grabbed your wrist.

"Can I take your hand, please? I don't like being alone in the dark." asked the hedgehog with a tensed tone of voice. You quickly accepted. Besides, you couldn't say no to his golden eyes.

"Yes...yes! Of course, Silver!" you replied almost immediately, slightly flustered because of the contact you and him now currently had.

Silver didn't seem to mind it though. "Thanks, (Y/N). I appreciate it. Now let's go to that park you talked about."

Oh, yeah, that's right. The park. You knew your city by heart, so you obviously knew where the park was, so you simply asked him to take your hand and follow you.

After a few minutes, you arrived close to your destination. Of course, it was nighttime, so the park was closed. But you could always sneak inside of it. It wasn't a problem, because Silver used his telekinesis powers to move both of you on the other side of the enclosure of the park.

Surprisingly, the park's floor lamps were emitting light. Weren't they supposed to be shut off when it was almost midnight? Whatever, you shouldn't be complaining: you were in a place outside alone with a beautiful hedgehog.

You turned off your flashlight since you could see clearly now, and you started walking on the path.

When you two were in the center of the park, you told Silver: "We should split..."

"Why? You don't like me holding your hand anymore? I saw you blushing on the whole trip!" said he, teasingly.

You now were even more flustered. "No, I...it's because..."

"No, I get it don't worry. You simply had enough of my chest fur, right?" Now he was laughing.

"No, it's...nevermind." Maybe it would have been easier to search if the two of you split up, but you wanted to stay with him, and it looked like he wanted too.

"I'm sorry for teasing you so much, (Y/N). You're...fantastic." He took a deep breath. "There aren't many people who would help a stranger and...not only that, but you're also really nice, even if a little shy. Even if you blush when you hear them, you can still take jokes. And, the best part about you is your generosity. I know I said that already, but not many people would accompany someone and search as much as them for something when it's not important for them. You're awesome, (Y/N)."

He said...so much nice stuff about you. Usually, when people talk to you, they're either neutral about you or they insult you. You were touched by his sudden compliments. You stuttered: "And...you Silver, you're...amazing too. You are so friendly and kind. You're slightly naive, but you're not stupid. You're caring , you're funny...You know exactly what to say. You're...one of the best person I've ever encountered. And...and...and..."

Now Silver was slightly startled. Though he managed to stutter: "And...?"

You couldn't stop now, couldn't you? "You're beautiful. Every time I look at your golden eyes, it's like I'm lost in them. They're so pretty. Pretty just like your ears, just like your tiny little nose." you said as you poked it. "Not only that, but your chest fur is incredibly soft and...that white color is so beautiful. You're perfect mentally and physically."

You were looking at his eyes the whole time you talked, though you didn't realise he was starting to sob. "(Y/N), I..."

He waited a few seconds before continuing.

"I think I love you."

Those words hit you like a truck. Not a truck that harms you. But like a love truck...if that even makes sense.

"And honestly, I think you're not half bad looking too. But I'm not crying because of that."

"Then why are you?"

His eyes were now full of tears. A dozen of them fell on the floor before he said: "If I go back to the right timeline...and I have to...I might not see you...EVER again."

This time, the truck hit again, but it was a hurtful one. You almost forgot about it. But Silver would have to go. He should be saving the world right now.

Silver approached you. Both of you were crying now. He was now only a few centimeters in front of you. Then he hugged you.

You were surprised by his sudden action, but you hugged him back anyway. You both sobbed really hard for a couple of minutes, then you both let go. Though you were still close to each other. "Hey Silver."

"What, (Y/N)?"

"You have something on your lips."

"Wait, really, wh..." You stopped him in his tracks by putting your lips on his. You never kissed a guy...nor a girl in that matter, but you've seen enough romance movies to give an above average kiss to him.

He didn't react for about ten seconds, after which he kissed back, though he seemed hesitant, so you pressed your lips harder on his so he would be less gentle.

You broke the kiss first. You never felt so great ever before. You wanted this to never end. But every good things end prematurely.

Both you and Silver were now exchanging loving gazes...and also panting a lot for some reason.

"Maybe we could sit on this bench, (Y/N)?" proposed the hedgehog.

"Of course, Silvy." Silver became red as soon as he heard the nickname you gave him.

You both sat on the bench, shoulders touching. His fur was so fluffy you started leaning on him. He was chuckling slightly.

You were surprisingly tired. That was weird since you would usually start sleeping much later. You emitted a yawn. Silver followed soon after. You didn't realise how tired he was too. He even started to fall on you too, even though you weren't that fluffy.

Your eyelids started to close more frequently and on longer periods of time. Your vision was slightly blurred when your eyelids were opened. You slowly turned your head in the direction of your partner. He seemed to be in the same position as you. The last thing you saw was Silver shutting his eyes before you closed yours too.

And that was the second part. Hope you liked it. I will publish the final part of this fanfiction next week.
