"Your still on that!?" Rouge rolled her eyes and turned away walking into her kitchen. I followed closely behind.
"Yes, and you can't blame alcohol I haven't drank today. So tell me, this back up plan, who would yours be?" I asked leaning up against the wall and folded my arms looking at her hid behind the door of the open refrigerator.
"Why would I have one?" She asked.
"I remember you saying something about Knuckles not taking the relationship seriously..." I said, we were now talking as if questioning a captive suspect.
"Yes, but that was... a few weeks ago." She said waving her hand above her head as if shooing away the event.
"And how are you guys now?"
Now she came out of the fridge holding a bottle and slammed it down on the counter her eyes narrow and her face hot.
"Wow, that bad hu?" I took a step out of the kitchen and let my ears fall back.
"I feel like he thinks this relation ship is a joke." She growled, "He doesn't take anything seriously. He thinks all I'm doing is staying with him for his stupid damn shiny emeralds!"
"Well-"
"And everyone else says it too! They don't know what I feel, they aren't ME! Everyone thinks I'm the tramp of the group! And it's getting more than annoying." She said sniffling and turned around to bottle and got down a glass.
"And so, you drink when your upset?" I asked coming back into the kitchen.
"It calms my nerves." She said softly and I could tell she was crying. I watched her closely and it bothered me to see her cry over what others thought of her as. It was true many did think of her to be a bit of a tramp, and I've heard many rumors about her being in more than one bed with guys. But she wasn't like that, at all. In fact she's been real loyal, to both Knuckles and me as her partner in work.
"I don't think your like that." I said reaching over and moved the glass out of her reach. "I know your not like that."
She sniffled and stayed looking down, "I used to not care what any one thought, It didn't matter as long as I had Knuckles, but he's starting to believe what everyone says." She kept her head bowed and walked closer to me resting her head on my chest, "I just want some one who knows me."
"Rouge..." I said putting my arms around her, "Haven't you talked to Knuckles about it?"
"I would if he could find time in his "busy schedule" from watching that damn rock all day!"
"Okay." I felt her hug me tightly and my fur get damp with her tears.
"My back up plan would be a man who would always be there with and for me. He'd be kind and understanding, and reliable. He isn't afraid to show his soft side to me, he doesn't have to act. He would be random at times and yet make it look smart." She said with a mixed giggle in her cry.
Of course she was naming everything we've done together. We were never too far away from each other, a phone call or radio signal away, and we would come as quickly as we could to each others aid. I cared for her, and we understood, she always said she could rely on me. She did get to my soft side, I didn't shut her out like I did everyone else, I was myself around her, and had some fun times.
Still not wanting her to cry I tried to lighten the mood, "This man wouldn't happen to be black, with red stripes and a tan muzzle would he???"
"Yes! He does, but he's just to far up Amy's dress to realize it!" She yelled pushing me harshly away.
'ouch... that was like a full on bitch slap right there..' I thought as I caught myself jaw dropped.
"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry! I didn't mean that!" She ran her fingers threw her hair and turned around.
"Well... I'm sorry. I am a male after all, the species tend to not notice things like this unless it's brought directly to their attention." I said.
She looked back at me and sighed, "Fine. After all the years we've worked together, and all we been threw, I've sorta crushed on you big time." She blushed and looked to the floor again.
"Then, why help me get Amy?" I asked confused and now had the feeling as if betraying her.
"Because, one your happy with her. And two, I have Knuckles. I'm not sure for how long... and now that someone is taking you away, and I might not even have knukies now, what do I have?"
"Taking me away? I wont forget about you if I'm with Amy. She's not taking me away, is that what you think?"
"...It happens." She said angered, "just, forget it. I'm going to bed."
I followed her. I don't know why, but I did. She sat down in bed taking off her shoes and quickly took cover under the covers.
"Go home Shadow." She said facing away from me.
"Wait I'm not done yet."
"Then we can talk in the morning. Go home."
I walked closer and sat down on the other side of her.
"What are you doing?" She asked her ears perked.
"I'm not going to forget about you, and she's not going to 'take me away', It'll be like nothing has changed between us. I don't see why something like that would change this."
"It happens all the time." She said growling.
"Well, chill out. Amy and I aren't official, when I came back I didn't even talk to her yet."
"You, didn't?" She sat up.
"No. I came to see you, because I needed to hear this from you."
"Hear what my relation ship problem?"
"heh, No. Your feeling's about me. I had to take a risk and tell them to her, You should do the same don't you think?"
"Why?"
"Because," I leaned back on the bed, "I don't want you to feel you waited till it was too late."
We both stayed quite for a moment. I wasn't sure what I was getting myself into. Amy and I wasn't together, Rouge and I are getting closer than we ever have before. I never came into her bedroom, or sat in her bed. I didn't want to take advantage of her offer and decide to be with Amy and leave her. I couldn't be with both of them, I wasn't brought up that way.
Before I knew it she was using me as her pillow and I held her in one arm. And later on I put myself in a situation where I was backed in a corner and felt like I had no way out.
