The train station was deathly quiet and Tails' footsteps echoed off the marble floors as he walked across the lobby to check the train times. "The train for the mystic ruins will be arriving soon" suddenly projected from the speakers in the ceiling and saved Tails the trip to the board with the train times on it. He sighed and began to trudge up the stairs that led up to the train platform. He rubbed his eyes and yawned. It was getting late, and Tails liked his sleep.
As he sat down on the cold, metal bench beside the train platform tails leant back and let his head rest on the wall behind him.
A shiver shot through him and he folded his arms and drew his knees in close. What he wouldn't give for Sonic to be here now, just so he had someone to cuddle up to. He could imagine curling up and letting his head rest on Sonic's chest and then slowly falling asleep whilst listening intently to his heartbeat.
Tails sighed. But that could never happen. He was sure that Sonic would be freaked out totally if he ever got to hear of any of this. Sonic was too cool for hugs and stuff like that. But if only...
Tails was pulled from his thoughts by the screech of brakes as the train to the mystic ruins rolled slowly into the station. He pulled himself to his feet and jumped on board the train before quickly grabbing the corner seat and sitting back down again. Tails wondered what time it was... It had to be late, he was the only one on the train! Well at least he was, until a tall man dressed in a dark coat carrying an umbrella stepped onto the train and set in the seat opposite him.
"Um... Excuse me, sir?" Tails asked shyly. The man looked across at tails. " I don't suppose you would happen to know the time would you please?" The man smiled at him "Well of course young man, It's a quarter past 12."
"Oh!" Tails said a little too loudly "I mean, uh thank you..." Tails said shrinking back into his seat.
'Sonic's probably wondering where i am...' Tails thought to himself
Tails wondered if Sonic was thinking about him too.
"Tails!? Tails!? Are you out here?!" Sonic was wandering down the hill towards the mystic ruins train station whilst keeping his ears and eyes peeled for anything that would give him a clue to where Tails had gone.
Since no-one was around at this time, Sonic had stopped caring about his image. For the first time in ages he was in tears. He stopped and sat on the hill for a second and let his head droop into his arms. This was getting too much.
He knew that if he found his friend tonight then the truth was going to come out. How could it not whilst he was in this state?
Sonic took a deep breath and tried to compose himself letting the cool rain soothe him a little. He stood up, shook his quills dry and began his search again.
Tails stepped off the train and onto the wooden platform and staggered a little. His eyes were all blurry and he wanted so bad just to go to sleep. As he made his way towards the stairs the nights silence was broken by the noise of a loud engine revving somewhere nearby. Tails ears pricked up and he ran over to the edge of the platform and looked over the railing at the clearing below. Five boys on motorbikes were driving around in circles on the wet green grass, at the bottom of the station stairs, shreiking and throwing things that Tails thought looked like glass bottles.
Tails was now more worried than ever. He wasn't used to being without Sonic in general and he wasn't used to being out this late. He certainly wasn't used to having to deal with five drunk teenagers.
Tails took a deep breath and composed himself before starting down the stairs. He wasn't doing anything wrong, so why should the boys have reason to stop him? he started down the next set of stairs. 'They won't say anything' tails thought. Next set of stairs. 'Please don't say anything...' Tails took the final set of steps and felt his sneakers sink into the mud below the cold, wet grass. the revving was closer now, the boys were right in front of him. "I wish Sonic were here..." Tails whispered as he gathered his courage and stepped forward.
Sonic jumped from the cave entrance that led up to the mountains and down onto the ground. He'd checked everywhere, except the station. The rain was getting harder now and sonic's muscles were starting to ache.
He did not care.
Until Tails was safe in his arms, Sonic would search and search, even if it killed him.
As he approached the station he could hear engines revving. 'Thats strange...' Sonic thought. A second of silence followed, but it was broken by a cry of "GET OFF ME!!". It was Tails' voice.
Sonic broke into a sprint to end all sprints.
As he reached the clearing he could see five motorbikes propped up and five boys surrounding a terrified looking tails who had been pushed onto the floor.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!" Sonic shouted as he ran towards the boys. He was going to settle this. Anyone that hurt Tails hurt him. That's how it was. And Sonic always hit back three times as hard.
Sonic stopped short of the boys and looked over to see Tails climb to his feet. He dusted himself off and felt around for something. A panicked look crossed his face and he shouted at one of the boys "You took it didn't you!! Give it back, right now!!"
Sonic didn't know what Tails was talking about but he looked deadly serious so it must have been something special.
"What? You mean this, kid?" The boy closest to Tails taunted him, holding up a small plastic bag. "I won't ask you again" Tails said through gritted teeth. "GIVE IT BACK." The boys laughed and yet Sonic could only watch. He had never seen tails like this before, ever. The boys were pushing Tails over the edge. He was going to have that bag back. It was too important to him. He walked up and squared up to the boy, who was a lot taller than Tails. "If you don't give it back i'll..." You'll do what? You think i'm scared of a little kid?" The boy asked. However that was the last thing the boy said. Tails drew back his fist and punched the boy in the face, hard. He didn't know where the anger came from but there was plenty of it suddenly. Sonic was almost as shocked at tails behaviour as Tails was. The whole scene seemed to freeze for a second as everyone involved stopped to realise what had just happened.
The boy dragged himself to his feet, wiping the blood from his face and stared down at Tails in horror.
"H-here, have your stupid bag back. But i won't forget this kid, you can be sure of that."
and within minutes the boys had ridden off into the night and Sonic and Tails were left standing in the clearing.
All was silent for a few seconds then Tails fell to his knees, clutching the bag and burst into tears. He cried for what he'd just done. He cried for the events of the whole night. But mostly he cried for Sonic. And for how he could never be with him.
Sonic stepped forwards and stood above Tails looking down at him. "What was in the bag that made you do that Tails?" Sonic asked after a second of looking down at his friend.
Tails sniffed and opened the bag to pull out a silver necklace with a star on it. "I bought this for you... that's where i've been all night. I went to Station square to buy you a gift." Tails said. Passing it up to Sonic, who simply looked at it. "I know you probably won't want it but i've got the reciept and... "I love you" The words had exited Sonic's mouth without him even realising. There was silence between the two of them for what seemed like an eternity.
He had finally said it. Sonic had told Tails how he felt. This was it, Sonic knew it. He was going to lose his best friend.
He was going to lose his soul-mate.
"I love you too." Tails replied before Breaking into the biggest smile Sonic had ever seen him wear. Tails stood up and ran into Sonic's arms, and finally both of the friends deepest wishes had come true.
'This is it' Tails thought as he nuzzled his face up against Sonic's chest. He could hear his heartbeat, just like he had always wanted. And he could have sworn that his heart was beating in time with Sonics'.
