[Closed] Help A Bro Out

[forgotlegday]

Who: Sonic and Knuckles
What: Knuckles needs dating advice from an expert. Unfortunately only Sonic is available.
Where: Out in the field
When: A few days before this log.
Warnings: T for TALKING ABOUT LADIES AND DATING

Team Sonic spent a lot of time outdoors. Tails spent a lot of time working too, so he wasn't always available, and Sonic had Blaze, and that sometimes kept him busy. A little too busy, Knuckles mused, as more than once he'd walked by Sonic's room to hear... suspicious sounding meows coming from within. It wasn't his business.

Well, he was going to make it his business, at least today. As he threw a football for Sonic to catch outside the mansion, his mind wasn't completely on the game. It was on something else. Or rather, someone else. Rouge had been occupying his thoughts ever since the carnival. He wanted to try dating her, to be a boyfriend. To... well... do other things with her. But most important was the "trying to be a good boyfriend" part. He didn't know anyone else he trusted to ask about that subject. Sonic was the expert with women. Surely he could help Knuckles now.

...And BAM, Knuckles got hit in the head by a football for his distraction.

Sonic let out a bray of laughter when the ball bounced off his buddy's head, sauntering his way to check on him.

"Man, Earth to Knuckles! You okay there? You know, you've been distracted ever since we came out here. What's the matter?"

[forgotlegday]

"I'm okay!" he protested, wobbling for a moment as he got his bearings back. "I'm not distracted, I'm just thinking about things," he replied, fundamentally missing the definition of distraction.

He rubbed his head, quietly for a moment. "Uh... Tell me something. Hypothetically. Say I had a girl I wanted to show a good time to. What do you think I should do, huh...?"

"...Hypothetically, this wouldn't happen to involve a certain white bat girl, would it?"

HE'S GOT YOUR NUMBER, DUDE. Of course, it wasn't hard to notice.

"N-no! Of course it wouldn't!" Knuckles protested. He was silent for a few moments, before pressing his index fingers together. "...Okay yes it does." Sonic could read him like a book.

"Thought so! So you wanna go out with Rouge, huh?"

He thinks about this, arms up behind his head for a second.

"Can't exactly take her out for a night on the town, huh..? Oh hey, yanno what? Blaze and I had a lot of fun exploring the floating island back at the Academy. Maybe you two oughtta go explore the caves here? Who knows, you might find a gem or two in there for her."

"Well... Yeah. I kinda really do. I haven't been able to stop thinking about her since--" He cut himself off. Sonic didn't need to know about THAT part! "I can't get her out of my mind! She's so pretty and witty and playful..."

"She DOES love treasure hunting... Do you think there's anything there to find?" he asked thoughtfully.
