Chapter Text
Tails didn’t know how long he had been awake but all he knew was that he couldn’t sleep without finishing his project. It was a week from Valentine’s day which was also the one year anniversary of Sonic and Tails’ relationship and the fox wanted everything to be perfect, he called some friends this morning and they were finding reservations to places perfect for both occasions and he was making a list of extremely important things. Tails looked at the clock and saw it was a little past midnight, he stretched and picked up the phone to dial Amy’s number in order to ask what places she found. He called and obviously no one picked up, it was 12:07 AM after all. Tails figured that Rouge would be awake and called her instead. “Hello, Tails. Did you need something?” She answered. “Yeah actually I do, have you found anywhere me and Sonic can go for Valentine's day?” “Oh right, that's your one year anniversary too isn’t it? Well lucky for you I found somewhere special and there's a reservation exactly on Valentine’s day.” The bat teased. “Really? Where is it?” He asked enthusiastically. “I’ll tell you, if you give me that chaos emerald in the Tornado.” Rouge suggested, Tails hesitated for a moment. “I’ll. . . Have to get back to you on that one.” “Well you better hurry. Your time is running out fast.” She warned before hanging up and leaving Tails to his own indecisiveness.
Sonic woke up at 1:28 AM just in time to hear Tails chattering to Blaze from his laboratory. The hedgehog groaned and groggily got out of bed and walked in “Tails, why are you still up?” He murmured. Tails squealed and puffed up as his namesake stuck straight up behind him. “Sorry, Blaze. Gotta go!” He briefed and before another word could be spoken he hung up. “I didn’t know you were awake!” Tails said, quite surprised. “Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you. I just woke up.” Sonic apologized. Tails let out a breath he didn’t even know he was holding before speaking once again. “It’s ok, I was just making pla- Inventions! I was just making inventions.” Tails quickly saved himself, but Sonic wasn’t buying it. “Sure, buddy.” He drawled. “Just come sleep, ok?” “Ok Sonic, I will. I just need to write something down.” He agreed and scribbled down a quick note. Sonic gently grasped the foxes hand and tugged him into the other room and to the bed. At that moment Tails realized just how tired he was and happily flopped onto the bed. After just a few seconds he rolled over to his side, pulled up the blankets, and passed out. Sonic laughed softly and followed suit, the only difference was that he tenderly pulled Tails into his arms as the young fox slept. Sonic knew he was lucky but he had no idea he was this lucky. With Tails in his arms, Sonic soon fell asleep.
