PoV: Sonic

"Tsk!" The blade went right through my shirt and cut my arm.

"Hm! Weakling," he grinned.

  That was my chance, he was being too cocky. I kicked the blade from his hand and kicked him back against the closet.

"That's enough!" The school security came it and grabbed the green guy.

"Sonic, he cut you," Rouge touched my arm.

"It's not too bad. It's hardly bleeding," I covered my arm with my hand.

"You're precious, my little fighter," she hugged me.

"We need to hear what went on here," an officer walked up to us.

"I was being sexually harassed by him," Rouge pointed to him, "Sonic helped me. He saved me from him."

"I got it all on video," one girl said.

  The officer watched the video and waved us over.

"Let me see your wound," they started pulling my arm from my shirt.

"It hasn't seemed to never any nerves. A few stiches and he'll be fine," the wrapped my arm up, "Miss, we'll have you two escorted to a hospital."

  Rouge picked me up, "Rouge? I can walk just fine."

"I know," walked with an officer who too us to an ambulance, "But you helped me."

"Any friend would do the same," I stated.

"No."

"Huh?"

"No one would do that. Fighting Scourge is never a win. They would just yell at him to stop, you actually rose a fist to him. You didn't hold a protest after he had his way."

"What good is a protest if you let him get his way?" I noticed a bruise form in on her cheek, "Rouge... he hit you..."

"Nothing some cover-up won't fix," she put me down in the ambulance.

  They doctors at the hospital cheeked to make sure we were too injured. My cut was stitched up and bandaged. Rouge was perfectly fine aside from the bruise.

"Lets go home," Rouge insisted on carrying me again, "You can stay with me tonight."

"Rouge, are you scared?" I asked.

"No, this happens all the time," she took me to her dorm and laid me in her bath tub.

"Why here?" I started getting up. I winced by mistake, my right arm couldn't hold my weight anymore.

"You gave me a bath," I got nervous and tried pushing her arms away when she reached for my pants, "I'm returning the favor."

"N-no no you don't have to. I really prefer showers anyway," I panicked and held my shirt down.

"You can't shower with one hand anyway."

"B-but the waters gonna come out cold while I'm in here," I pointed out.

"Alright then," She lifted me out and put me in her bed after getting me completely naked, "Wait here."

"Wait, give me my clothes back!" I covered myself, the only thing I had on was a sling I was being forced to wear.

"I day off school already, how great," Sally came in and I quickly rolled myself into Rouge's blanket, "And an adorable pet waiting for me at home."

"Sally, you know he's mine," Rouge unwrapped me and grabbed my only free hand, "It's all look but dont touch for you."

"R-Rouge... stop... this is embarrassing..."

"He's so adorable," she liked my stomach, "His stomach's flater than mine. Life's not fair."

"That's enough," Rouge pulled me away, "His bath is ready."

  Rouge wrapped my arm in saran wrap to keep the water out of my cut. The bath was full of bubbles and it smelt like flowers.

"That's too much," I said, I can't see the water level... I don't trust the bubbles.

"You'll smell great after this, I promise," she lifted me. I couldn't help but grab onto her when she brought me close too the water, "Sonic?"

PoV: Rouge

  Sonic never hugged me. His hand was grabbing my shirt as well as me. I laid him down him the water and moved his hand so I could wash his fur properly. No way... he's... I wiped the tears from his eyes.

"Sonic, are you scared of the bath?" He was holding onto me again.

"... ... I... it's the water..." his voice was shaky.

"You're strong, but you still get scared," I removed my shirt and pants. I pulled off my underwear and made it so we were in the tub together, he could hold onto me anyway he needed too, "Hold onto me."

  I scrubbed his back and washed him carefully.

"Are you still scared?" I asked.

  Sonic just nodded. This was the closest he ever was with me. I kissed his ear.

"I'll keep you safe," I rubbed his ear. I could feel his heart was racing with his chest pressed against me, "Don't be afraid of the water."

  I finished our bath after we were both clean. I wrapped him in a towel dried myself off. I put him in one of my night shirts for now. It was still the middle of the day, we could spend this time eating cup noodles and talking. Now I knew something about him that no one else possible could, he had a huge fear of water and I would keep large bodies of water away from him.

Sonic fell asleep on my lap after his this ramen. I kept him in a blanket so he stayed warm. I changed the channel on the TV.

"The lastest Prower computer is on sale today, get the fastest technology in you home now," an ad was playing as I waited from my show to start, "Don't forget, the Prower inventor, Miles Prower will be visiting the collages of Mobotropolis this month in search of new talent. Get your career in programming started, today."

"I hope they don't show up here, those agents are way too picky," I sighed.

  Sonic nuzzled into my chest. I grazed my nails along his back, gently scratching him, and he began purring.

"Spoiled boy. I love you."
