Ember and The Wind - [Fleetonic]

Ch.16 Some Time

F.S POV

I couldn't stop thinking about what he said. Did he really wake up and not try to attack? Maybe I'm just overthinking this too much. Maybe I just want to believe he did it out of something other than fear. I sighed as the more likely option came to mind. Oh well. But this feeling, I think I've felt it before but never this strongly. It's probably nothing. Though I do want to be with him for a while longer, I knew he needed some rest. Maybe I'll give him a good hour to just relax.

Sonic POV

Why did he rub my stomach like that? It was weird but I had to overlook it. Why can't he give me something to do other than just laying here? I don't know what but something like a video game or even a puzzle would be nice, but no, I have to sit in silence for a few hours. I huffed in annoyance.

F.S POV

It's only been twenty minutes but I can't take it anymore. I walked in and he looked surprised to see me. I sat down on the other end of the bed.

"I'm sorry but I got bored." I said, trying not to sound weird.

"I see.. well to be honest I was bored too." He said. Sonic looked like he was contemplating something. "You know it would be nice to have something to do while you're gone."

"Oh sorry, I guess I was just so used to you being asleep, I didn't think about that." I said, maybe I should get him something when I'm in town.

"So are you just here to talk, or what?" He asked me.

"Well, I guess so. I haven't had anyone to talk to like this in a while." I said sadly. I miss those days but there's nothing I can do about it. "It feels nice to be able to do this with someone again."

"Umm." He looked away. "So do you want to talk about something specific? I don't have anything better to do right now"

"Well do you mind if we talk about yourself?" I asked. Despite being a part of Sonic I didn't really remember much about him. But when I asked I felt that way again, seemingly growing stronger, if that was even possible. It felt... nice either way.

"I mean sure, but can we talk about you too? I have questions." He said.

"Oh um, alright." I smiled at him. I could also feel a bit more warmth in my face. "Would you mind if I sat next to you?" I might have been pushing it but I really wanted this. I don't know why but I know I do.

"Well, as long as you don't try to attack, I guess it's fine with me." And with that I moved up and laid down beside him.

Sonic POV

I guess this is happening now. Definitely not what I expected from a deadly chaos monster but I guess it's a nice change compared to what I'm used to with him anyway. Which usually consisted of death, explosions, and pain. He started up the conversation again.

F.S POV

"So where are you from?" I knew it was a stupid question but I was still interested.

"... uh an island. Well I guess they call it Christmas island now, or was that a different place.. but yeah." He said. So I'm, technically, from an island.. good to know.

It seemed like he wasn't expecting such a question. "Oh and where are your parents, if you mind me asking." He seems to get himself into a lot of trouble and danger and yet the parents don't seem to care.

He didn't respond. His ear pinned back and he looked away. Ah carp, sensitive topic.

"Well um... we don't have to talk about this if you don't want to." I said in a panicked tone.

"Yeah I.. um.. rather not." He said quietly. "Actually can I ask you something?"

"Sure." I said gladly dropping the previous subject.

"Why were you trying to kill me?" He said seriously.

Fuck..

"Well, you see, I don't actually remember anything from the past month or so." I said. Now that I think about it, why was I trying to kill him? "Sorry if that wasn't much help."

"Oh." He said.

Sonic POV

Was he actually telling the truth? Or was he just trying to convince me to trust him? I don't know anymore.

"So where are the others?" I asked. I've been here long enough to have at least seen someone else.

"Well, it's just me... now." Fleetway said sadly. They seemed close so I wonder what happened?

"I take it you don't want to talk about them right now." I responded.

"Yeah, that would be nice." He said.

There was a moment of silence. 

"Where are we, by the way?" He asked while glancing around.

"Uh, somewhere up north." I had to be vague or I risked losing him.

"North.." He mumbled to himself. "What season is it?"

"I think we are close to fall," I said. The winds were cooler and the leaves were changing so it should be around fall.
