Never Grow Up – Chapter 1, I love you

Disclaimer: I do not own the awesomeness that is Sonic the Hedgehog, or any characters related to the series, Sega does... lucky Sega.

A/N: This is my 1st Sonic the Hedgehog, & my 2nd song fic (kind of). It's a collection of one-shots based of the song Never Grow Up by Taylor Swift. Each chapter will mostly be based around one or two verses with said verse(s) at the beginning, I'll say in the author's note at the top if there will be an exception to this. This is a Sonic and Tails Brotherly fic, if you don't like these types of story's, then I suggest you stop reading, if you do then I apologise for keeping you waiting. Enjoy!

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favourite night-light

(Sonic's P.O.V, Sonic is ten and Tails is three)

I looked down at the fox I had, just a year ago, taken in as my little brother. Miles Prower. But I never call him that because he hates his real name; I call him Tails, the name I gave him 'cause he's got two tails. Don't even think about calling him a freak because of that, and I'll give you two reasons why. First, those tails make him unique, special and allow him to do what no other fox can do. Fly. That's right, a flying fox. Pretty cool right? Second, you'll wake up the next day with a serious headache after getting beaten up by me for talking trash about my baby bro, so don't even go there.

Anyway, it's been one of those quiet days where Eggman hasn't tried to conquer the planet, so me and Tails just had a fun day to ourselves. We went to the park and played with our ball and on the slides, swings, round-a-bout e.t.c, and had a few races, where I won nearly all of them (technically all of them if you don't count the ones when I let Tails win). Then we found out that a circus was in town! I hadn't been to one of them in ages, and Tails had never seen one so we went and saw that next. It was way past cool! My little buddy loved the whole thing, but he enjoyed the acrobats on the trapeze best. We did loads of other stuff too, like went to the cinema, to the beach (I stayed on the sand), ate chili dogs, but I won't bore you with that.

So, it's been a very tiring day, especially for a three-year-old fox, he fell asleep on the way home. Now, I'm not usually one for mushy stuff, but Tails looks really cute when he's asleep. He pulls his knees up to his chest and wraps his namesakes around himself like a make shift blanket. If you didn't know it was Tails, you'd mistake him for an orange ball of fluff. You can tell if he's dreaming because his eyelids flutter. I was taking him up to his room when...

"Sonic?"

"Hey little bro, did I wake ya?"

"No," He yawned, "I just wanted to say that I'm really glad you're my brother."

"No problem bud, now go to sleep."

"But Sonic I'm," He yawned again, "not tired."

I had to laugh at that, if he's not tired after that day then I'm not a blue hedgehog. "What if I tuck you in and turn on your favourite night-light?"

"Well, Okay."

So I did just that. "Night kid, sweet dreams." But as I turned to leave I felt a little hand wrap around my finger.

"Night Sonic, I," One more yawn, kid must be really tired, "love ya big bro."

I was a bit shocked; me and Tails had been like brothers ever since we met, even though he still acted a little shy around me. He'd never said he loved me before, no one had said that to me in a long time... Then I smiled. "Love you too, little bro."

Please let me know what you think, I'm open to constructive criticism, so long as it's helpful and not mean. I'll post new chapters either weekly (If the next chapter is written) or if I have a bunch of reviews along the lines of Update soon. Hope you enjoyed!
