Mine

Chapter 7

  
  
PoV: Knuckles

  Sonic was mostly sleeping as he healed. Once Tails, Amy, and I had set up the house to be an inescapable healing center for Sonic we moved him back in. Mighty decided to visit every day as I took my turn watching Sonic.

"I'm bored," Sonic groaned, "I can't even play video games..."

"You just have to wait for your arm to heal," I took his temperature, "You seem to be healing just fine. You do feel cold."

"I'm not cold," Sonic pouted. He was always in denial about his well being, it was hard to get him to admit when he was cold unless you caught him red handed.

"I'm still putting you in a sweater," I got up and grabbed a hoodie with a zipper from the closet. That would be the easiest to put on him. I walked back and Sonic had wrapped himself into a blanket, "I thought you weren't cold."

"Shut it," he glared at me, he thought he looked threatening. Unfortunately he didn't realize his cheeks puffed up when he glared and he became an adorable hedgehog of fluff, "I did this because I wanted to cuddle."

"You realize that sounds worse that you being cold," It was so hard not to break out laughing.

"I said shut up!" He shouted.

"How about you shut up and put a jacket on," I pulled the blanket off him and helped him put the sweater on. He was able to make minor movements with his right arm, but bending his arm completely was still to painful for him. Sonic was going to be out of fights for a while. We had to keep Eggman from finding out Sonic was hurt or something could happen to him.

"I didn't want the stupid sweater..." Sonic mumbled.

"Sure you didn't," I ruffled his quills and he leaned against me a bit. It was four, he was ready for his daily nap.

"Eggman hadn't attacked in a while..." he was trying to keep himself awake.

"He needs to recover from that last battle, just like you," I got the chance to very carefully pull him onto my lap while his attention was low.

"We'll attack him... with... a... chillidog... army..." he fell asleep leaning on my chest and bundled in my arms.

"Yeah, a chillidog army sounds like a good plan," I brushed his quills back and let him sleep.

"He let's you hold him while he sleeps?" Tails came in with oil all over him.

"No, but if I'm careful he won't notice," I answered.

"That sweater, Sonic fighting the cold again?" Tails pulled the blanket around Sonic.

"As usual. He tried defending himself by saying he wanted cuddles."

"Sonic is the worst liar. It makes me wonder how he'd react to anyone he had a crush on."

"Have you asked him?" I was curious. If Sonic had a crush then I needed to know who.

"I asked him yesterday, he said he doesn't think he does. So between you and Mighty... he's neutral."

"We gotta work on carming him," I held Sonic close, "I think waking him up with a chillidog is a good start."

"I think so too," Tails smiled, "I'll keep working on my plane."

"Sounds good," I kept and eye on Sonic as he napped. He started drooling in his sleep.

"No... is my flower..." he mumbled.

"How do you I get it through your thick head that I want you for myself?"

"...food..."

"Alright, we'll try food."
