The sun slowly rose above the sea, lighting up the entire region known as the Mystic Ruins. On top of a hill stood a lone house, the residence of two former heroes, arguably the most well-known in history.

As the rays of sunlight filtered through the upstairs window, illuminating the dark room, a blue hedgehog began to stir from a deep sleep. He rolled over onto his back, slidng his hands behind his head. His six long quills spread out beneath his head as he sighed and closed his eyes.

Sonic the hedgehog.

There wasn't a single person who had never heard of him. Even the little children were told stories about the great things Sonic had done in his lifetime.

However, there was one thing they didn't mention. One thing that just about everybody except for Sonic himself thought let the hero down, spoiled his reputation.

And that reason was a young fox named Miles Prower, who everyone knew as Tails.

Sonic turned his head to the left a little. He smiled as he saw the back of Tails, lying next to him, apparantly sleeping soundly.

The cobalt hedgehog turned onto his side, shuffling up until he was behind the kit, so close that golden fur mixed with blue.

Sonic gently blew onto the back of Tails' neck, like he did every morning to get Tails' attention. He was disappointed when the kit didn't even twitch.

He must be dreaming about something nice, Sonic thought, smiling warmly.

But Tails was awake, listening to everything Sonic was doing. Usually, Tails would turn around as soon as Sonic woke him up, but now, he wanted to see what the hedgie would do next.

Sonic edged a little closer, his stomach rubbing against Tails' back. He then slid his arms around the kit's body, until his hands met at his chest. He squeezed gently, nuzzling his cheek into the back of Tails' head.

Tails shivered as he felt Sonic's arms around him. He clenched his teeth, desperately fighting the urge to turn around.

Eventually, he felt Sonic's grip loosen, and his arms slid limply back to his sides. The hedgehog sighed quietly, annoyed that Tails was ignoring him. He paused, trying to think of something else to do that would get Tails' attention.

He moved even closer, pushing against Tails' back. Sonic began to stroke gently up and down the side of his body, from his waist, all the way down his thigh, and back up again.

Tails felt beads of sweat collect on his head. His body twitched, no matter how hard he tried to keep still. Turn around, a voice screamed in his head, You know that's what both of you want. Tails felt his heart speed up as Sonic's light fingertips ran up and down his body.

After a few more minutes with still no response from the stubborn fox, Sonic growled quietly. He had now worked out that Tails was awake, though tried to pretend differently.

Why are you ignoring me? He thought, hurt. Then he had one final idea. Nudging even closer, he weaved his legs with Tails', and rested his hand on the side of the kit's face.

What's he doing? Tails thought suspiciously. His hand sure feels warm, though...

Sonic's hand moved backwards and up a little bit, his palm resting at the base of Tails' left ear. Slowly, he started to rub, gently but firmly. Tails' whole body relaxed as Sonic massaged his ear, just like he always did to calm Tails down, relax him, or send him off to sleep when he was restless.

Sonic, able to tell that Tails was enjoing it, moved his other hand to his right ear, and began rubbing in time with his first hand. Sonic smiled. This always made Tails purr, like a kitten.

The kitsune felt something building up inhis throat, and swallowed desperately. Whatever you do, He told himsef, don't make a sound. He's never done this to wake me up. I've got to see what he'll do next.

Sonic's green eyes flared. Not so much as a sigh fom the fox. He knew for sure Tails was awake, he just didn't know why he was being ignored.

Tails waited patiently. Sonic didn't move for a minute or so. Then, he felt the hedgehog move. Move away from him. He heard shuffling footsteps, walking towards the door. Tails opened his eyes in time to see Sonic disappearing out of the door. He shot into an upright position, holding his arms out like a helpless child.

"Sonic! Don't leave me!" He cried, tears forming in his blue eyes. Sonic took several steps back into the room, grinning like mad until he saw Tails' face.

"Aww, Tails, don't cry, I'm sorry..." He whispered, running over to Tails' side.

"I'm sorry...for ignoring you..." Tails said. Sonic shrugged, nudging Tails over and climbing in beside him. The hedgehog crossed his legs, and Tails climbed into the space between his knees, nuzzling his head into Sonic's chest and sighing happily. Sonic fiddled with Tails' hair.

In case you haven't worked it out yet, Sonic and Tails were boyfriends. That was the only thing the public couldn't stand about their hero. He was together with his former sidekick, his best friend. They used to be so close everyone thought of them as brothers. But when they got even closer, it was too close for anyone's liking. Even their friends were wary of them.

"I love you, Sonic." Tails sighed happily.

Sonic gave a warm smile. "I love you too."

Sonic and Tails. The only people in the world who didn't care about their own relashionship. And why not?

Because love is a powerful thing.
