"Espio!" Sonic called happily as the chaotix member walked around the corner. Sonic had been trying to explain to Amy once again that he didn't like her i the way she wanted him to when the chameleon walked around the corner. Sonic then ditched Amy and ran up to Espio a little too enthusiasticly. The chameleon instinctively dodged the hedgehog, who slammed into a wall. The chameleon smiled and held out his hand to the hedgehog.
"Sorry 'bout that, force of habit ya know." Espio said calmly, the hedgehog smiled as he grabbed his hand and allowed himself to be pulled up.
"No problem, I probably shouldn't have run up to you like that anyway." Sonic said with a smile.
"Espio! How could you do such a thing!" Amy screamed as she ran up to the chameleon, knocking down the blue hedgehog in the process. Sonic groaned at the pain of hitting the ground a second time while Amy immediately started to chastise the pink chameleon known as Espio.
"How could you do such a thing to poor Sonic!" The pink hedgehog asked, completely disregarding the fact that she had just done the same thing. Espio chuckled at Amy's anger towards him and after a quick look at Sonic to make sure he was okay dashed off. Amy immediately screamed after the pink chameleon.
"Hey get back here!" Amy yelled as Sonic smiled, staring in the direction Espio had run off in. The blue hedgehog had a large crush on Espio, though he didn't like admitting it to anyone. If he ever did he would likely get made fun off, ridiculed or at worst get disowned by his close friends for being gay. Not only that, but as far as he could tell Espio was straight, so if he ever did come out the closet he had doubts that Espio would agree to a relationship with him.
Espio the chameleon had just returned home after the incident with Amy and was shocked to see his small bee companion in the kitchen flying just above a frying pan. The kid appeared to be cooking something. Espio smiled as he walked into the kitchen, sneaking up behind the bee ready to give him a small fright.
"I wonder how Espio will like these oysters, Rouge said that oysters were the most romantic things in the world." Charmy said with a giggle. Espio was taken aback by the Bee's comment. Sure he liked Charmy, but as a little brother. He couldn't imagine Charmy feeling that way about him.
Not sure how to react to the moment, Espio fled the building with the silence and grace of a ninja. Leaving Charmy to finish frying up his batch of oysters.
