Shadow Fire Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Knuckles frowned, baring his fangs. He took Manic by the arm, his eyes narrowing. "Bullshit!" he hissed angrily. "I thought you trusted me... why do you lie to me?" The crimson guardian released the green hedgehog's arm, before turning away, his fists clenched tightly. "Why?" he asked, his voice suddenly softer and shakier. "Why lie to me?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 "Just what?" Knuckles spat back, his tone hurt. "What?" The echidna slammed his fists into a nearby tree, sending bark splintering all over. "Manic..." he muttered. "You have no idea just how much this hurts. To think I'm not good enough for you to be honest with... To have these one-sided feelings for you..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Manic shivered a bit as he heard Knuckles punch his spiked fist into the tree near them, as he tried to rub his tears out of his eyes. "One-sided feelings..." He mumbled a little bit, as he glanced over at the older echidna. "I'm sorry... I just saw Tails kissing my big brother just a few minutes ago... it hurt... a lot... forgive me for not telling you the truth... I just didn't want to drag you into it..."

Shadow Fire Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Knuckles glanced at his namesakes, noticing the blood that began to seep. With a sigh, he looked up at the sky. "So..." he muttered. "They finally admitted it to each other. I'm sorry, Manic... It was going to happen sooner or later. It sounds harsh, but you'll have to get used to it. I had to get used to the fact that you would never want me..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Manic glanced up, a small shade of red on his face. "What... did you say?" Knuckles... wanted him? Why wouldn't he say anything about that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sollux Captor Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Manic had a small frown, as he reached out, his leather clad hands lightly squeezing the injured hand in between his own.

Shadow Fire Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 Knuckles gave a soft sigh, his cheeks going pink when he felt Manic take his injured hand. "What could I have said?" he mumbled. "You, Sonic and Tails were always together. Sonic teases me enough as it is, but to find out that I love you. I think he'd be a bit protective... considering my strong ki. That's another reason. I wouldn't want to hurt you. I've never... felt anything like this before." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 At first, the echidna was at a loss to understand what was happening, but the moment he felt the younger male's lips on his, his heart skipped several beats.

Shadow Fire Posted May 19, 2011 Author Share Posted May 19, 2011 Knuckles wasn't even thinking about the Master Emerald. A strange voice seemed to sound in his head. Into the ruins... it is the only way to understand... Turning to face Manic, the echidna gave a smile, before nodding. "It's fine..." he said. "Only the bat girl wanted the Master Emerald... but she's kinda busy now with an honest job. I'll be fine in the ruins. Trust me." With another smile, Knuckles leaned over and kissed the green hedgehog, before turning and heading into the temple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
