I don't own 'Super Smash Bros' or any character in it.

Flowers

"Come on Sonic, you can do this." The blue haired boy huffed, trying to muster up any courage he could find. The fifteen year old was having a dilemma. In one hand, he clutched a bundle of roses that he and Peach had collected that morning in the garden of Smash mansion. The other was trembling on the doorknob leading to the said garden. But he just couldn't find the bravery to turn the knob. "You've saved the world, no, the universe plenty of times, but you can't talk to a pretty girl? Come on you can… oh who am I kidding, she's too good for me. What would she see in someone who's five years younger than her?" He wasn't helping himself here. He had never dealt with a lot of attention well. The only difference here from Mobius was he didn't have the adrenaline that came from knowing the lives of many rested in his hands to keep him acting cocky, that mainly being a way to cope with the tension. He remembers the first and only reward ceremony he had for saving his world, how he couldn't find it in him to speak even the slightest bit, how he shook nervously as all eyes were on him that day. The mayor of Central City promised him he wouldn't throw another party in his honor. It had been that way when he was ten and nothing had changed.

Even when he first got to smash, he spent most of the first half of the tournament clinging to Peach's or Mario's side. Speak of the devil.

"Sonic? Are you-a alright?" Sonic jumped a little before he spun on his heels and snatched Mario in a hug.

"Dad! I'm so happy you're here." Oh yes, Mario had quickly became a father figure to the child, and it didn't help that most of smashers had actually believed they were father and son at the start. Growing up Sonic, having had been raised by woodland critters, never really had any real parents. Mario was more than happy to take that role. Many found it strange how animals had raised a human, then again Sonic wasn't completely human, if the big animal ears protruding from his head was any indication. "I don't know if I can do it."

"Do what?" Mario questioned. Looking past Sonic, the plumber saw the source of the boy's grief. Many of the female smashers were sitting in the garden chatting, one in particular caught his eye and he smiled, patting Sonic on the back. "Oh right-a. Well I think, no-a I know, you can do it." Sonic released him from the hug and looked his father figure in the eye, worry written all over his face.

"But what if she says no!"

"And what if she says yes, you'll-a never know until you try." Sonic sighed before turning back to the door, reaching for the knob.

"He's right, you can do this Sonic. Just go out there, march up to her and tell her how you feel. Look, moms out there, she'll give you any encouragement you need." With that he turned the knob and walked into the garden, one thing on his mind.

Princess Peach took a sip of tea as she relaxed against a tree. It had been a great day for a picnic, and she had gotten Samus, Princess Rosalina, Robin, Lucina, Jiggly Puff, and Princess Zelda to join her. Currently Zelda and Jiggly Puff were somehow managing to have a conversation, while Robin was pestering Lucina about wanting grandchildren. Peach giggled at that, Robin had been so persistent about it, despite Lucina's countless refusals.

"Lucina honey, you are around that age where children should be a big priority, I had you at that age, as my mother did me."

"Mom! For the last time, I am not having children."

"Hmm, why must you be so stubborn like your father, there are so many nice gentleman here."

Peach drowned out the rest, as she heard the door leading into the house open. Turning to face the door, she smiled when she saw Sonic. "Sonic, dear. Would you like to join us for our picnic?" Sonic didn't answer and she noticed a fierce look of determination on his face, the bundle of roses they picked earlier in his hand. This brought an even bigger smile, having a good idea as to what he was going to do. "Oh I'm so proud of him." He had been talking about going this for a few days.

"But what about… oh hello there Sonic." Robin said, finally dropping the conversation with Lucina. Sonic walked up next to her and cupped around her ear with his hands, whispering to her. When he finished, she turned to him and smiled. "Oh course dear." She shuffled a foot or two away from her daughter. "Here you go."

"Thank you, Robin." Sonic said, his determination never leaving his face as he stepped in front of Lucina, hiding the roses behind his back. "Miss Lucina."

"Oh hello Sonic, how are you?" Lucina said with a smile that just melted Sonic on the inside. He loved that smile.

"Lucy, I've been trying to be brave enough to say this. I lo-l-l-o." Sonic's eyes widened as a blush creeped its way onto his face. "No not now, I can't be getting nervous now, I'm so close." He kept trying to say something, anything, but nothing would come out. The other smashers looked at him, some piecing together what he was trying to say and the others just plain confused. Lucina frowned, growing concerned about the boy in front of her whose face was redder than a tomato.

"Sonic, are you ok? Do you feel alright?" Her concerned look didn't help his confidence.

"I-I-I uh." Sonic slammed his eyes shut and turned his head away, sticking out his arm in front of him, showing her the roses. "I really like you, Lucy." An audible gasp from Lucina and a few "how cute" and 'awhs' from the others were his only response.

"Ok Sonic, now just wait for rejection." Sonic's mind said. Only the rejecting he had been expecting never came. He opened an eye and dared to steal a glance at her. What he saw was her face just as red as his and a smile on her face as she slowly took the flowers. "Ha, take that… me."

"I like you too Sonic. Thank you for the roses, they're great." The smile she wore made him feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Oh look at him, like a love sick puppy… err hedgehog, love sick hedgehog. He rubbed the back of his neck nervously, not sure what to do now. He didn't expect to get this far honestly. Another thing he didn't expect was for Lucina to lean forward and kiss his forehead. "Now come on, there's a picnic going on. Why don't you join us?"

"Umm, ok." With that, Sonic took a seat next to Luciana, while she wrapped an arm around him and pulled him closer. Sonic hadn't expected it to go like this, but he sure wasn't about to complain.

"Oh they grow up so fast." He heard Peach say, which brought a chuckle from him.

"I might just get grandkids after all." Robin cheered, causing Lucina's face to get red again, her blush having just died down.

"MOM!"

Holy fluff batman! Truth be told I didn't know how to end this, so… ya. I don't know why but I've always liked the idea of Sonic being a softie. It's cute. Sonic will be human in this fic, but will include some traits of his hedgehog self. Well I hoped you liked it. Bye Bye.

And I totally am gonna make Robin wanting grandkids a running joke in this story.
