Positives and Negatives {Sonourge}

FIFTEEN

__Sonic had gotten a headache that night. All the stress from earlier had caused it. He was embarrassed. All that singing and playing made Sonic realize something. Somehow he had grown a lot closer to Scourge than he thought. He couldn't believe it. All he wanted to do was make Scourge comfortable and find out who killed Fiona. Now he was getting something he didn't even ask for.
__Sonic was sitting at the dining table. He had his arms crossed on the table and placed his forehead on them. This headache is killing me! Why won't you pass over already!? Sonic groaned when he realized he was being stupid about it. That's not how it works dammit.
__Scourge had come out of the bathroom and stood next to Sonic. Sonic looked up and saw Scourge was holding a small bottle of ibuprofen. He shook it a bit and handed it to Sonic. "Found this."
__Sonic grinned as he grabbed the bottle. "Thanks." He opened the bottle and took out two pills. After closing the bottle, he put the pills in his mouth and swallowed them whole.
__"Do you not need water for that?" Scourge asked, almost sounding impressed.
__Sonic shook his head. "Nah! It's fine," He then groaned and started rubbing his temples. "But this headache isn't."
__"You need sleep," Scourge said. He then put a hand on Sonic's shoulder. "Come on. I'll help you to bed."
__Sonic stood up and waved his hands at him. "No, it's okay. I'm fine." Sonic tried walking, but he tripped over his own foot and Scourge had caught him.
__Scourge smirked as Sonic looked at him. "Sure," He said sarcastically. "Seriously, come on."
__Sonic obeyed and walked with Scourge into his room. Sonic sat down on the bed while Scourge had his arms out just in case. Sonic kicked his shoes off and laid down.
__"Do you not take off the bandana?"
__"Only when I take a shower," Sonic grinned. "I like wearing it."
__Scourge shook his head as he giggled. "Go to sleep. You're delusional."
__Sonic chuckled as he pulled the covers over himself. "Whatever. I mean it, though." He moved himself to the center of the bed and turned on his side where his back faced Scourge. He was able to find sleep rather quickly.

__"Sonic!"
__Sonic sat up immediately and looked around his surroundings. He seemed to be in a place that was a mixture of the ocean and space. "Where am I?" Sonic stood up and continued to look around. "Hello? Who's there?"
__"Sonic!"
__Sonic jumped back when something appeared in front of him. Red and black particles kept sprouting out of nowhere until they formed a body. This body was too familiar. Sonic shook his head and rubbed his eyes before looking at the person in front of him. "Fiona!? How!? You're dead!"
__Fiona looked worried as she took a step closer to Sonic. "Look, Tikal didn't give me much time and I couldn't reach Scourge."
__"What do you mean?" Sonic took a step back. "Tikal?"
__"Sonic, please listen!" Fiona pleaded. "I was murdered by a robot! An Eggman robot!"
__"So it's true!?" Sonic exclaimed. "Eggman made a robot to kill you!?"
__Fiona shook her head. "I'm not sure, but this is bad! This robot...it's bloodthirsty! It wants to kill everyone it sees!"
__"What robot!?" Sonic ran over and grabbed Fiona's shoulders. "What does it look like!?"
__Fiona took a few steps back and grabbed her ears as she shook her head. "Tikal, please! I need more time!"
__"Tell me, Fiona!" Sonic yelled out. "Tell me!"
__Fiona let go if her ears and hugged her stomach. "The robot! It looks just like---"

__Sonic opened his eyes, his vision a bit blurry. There was green covering his vision. He blinked a few times and he could clearly see Scourge's head was laying in his arms on the bed. Sonic sat up quickly and moved back a bit from shock. What the hell is he doing here!? He calmed himself down and sighed. He probably just got too tired to move. It doesn't mean anything. Sonic couldn't help but stare at Scourge as he laid back down. He smiled and stifled a laugh. I don't understand why, but you're something else; something beautiful.
__Scourge then groaned and his left ear twitched. As his eyes started to open, Sonic quickly shut his eyes and pretended to be asleep. He heard Scourge stand up and curse himself. "The fuck am I doing?" He whispered. Footsteps were fading away and there was the sound of the door opening and closing.
__Sonic opened his eyes and sat back up. He sighed again and started scratching his face. "Wow. What was that about I wonder?" He asked himself sarcastically. He then stopped scratching and slapped his own face. "Stop it!" He was careful not to yell too loud and ignored the painful sting on his face. "You've had two girlfriends! How can you do this!?" He then slammed his quills against the wall. "Who am I kidding? I can't help it. What's done is done."
__Sonic then perked his ears and looked around the room. "Wait a minute! My dream! Fiona...she was talking to me! Did Tikal give her access? How!?" Sonic then looked at the drawer next to his bed. "The Chaos Emerald..." Sonic threw the covers off him and got out of bed to open the drawer. He started digging through it until he pulled out a purple Chaos Emerald. "Tikal must have allowed Fiona to contact me through this," Sonic sat back down on the bed and started sweating. "The robot...she didn't get to say what it looked like!" He then stood back up and smashed his forehead against the wall. "GODDAMMIT!"
__Scourge then ran into the room and stood next to Sonic, his eyes wide with shock. "What are you doing!?"
__Sonic lifted his head off the wall and started rubbing his forehead. He showed Scourge the emerald as he spoke. "Fiona spoke to me."
__Scourge's ear flattened as he took a step back. "What?"
__Sonic nodded. "Tikal gave her a chance to contact me with this emerald. She was about to tell me who killed her, but she didn't get to finish! All I know is that it's an Eggman robot! A robot that wants to kill everyone it sees! She couldn't tell me in time!"
__Scourge shook his head and glared at him. "You're messing with me! Tikal!? Who the fuck is Tikal!? And no robot has the sense to kill anyone on its own! They don't have free will!"
__Sonic looked down at the Chaos Emerald. "First, Tikal was the Guardian of the Master Emerald centuries ago. I don't know about a robot having free will, but Fiona...she told me this robot is bloodthirsty," Sonic shut his eyes and flattened his ears. "I'm not messing with you, Scourge. I promise."
__Scourge's eyes softened as he crossed his arms. "...I..." He then sighed and went to put his hand on Sonic's shoulder. "Are you absolutely sure about this?" His eyes were glistening with sorrow.
__Sonic nodded as he put the Chaos Emerald back in his drawer. "I need to find out more," He said. He then looked at Scourge and narrowed his eyes at him. "Wanna help me sneak into Eggman's base?"
__"But you said Tails and Antoine couldn't find anything when they broke in," Scourge pointed out.
__"Yeah, but this time I know exactly what to do."
