Chapter 9: Hold Hands With Me
Sunlight hits Tails face as he sits up in the soft bed. It's their first full day off Mobius and Tails cannot wait to explore the city. He starts the day off by doing research on the smartphone he acquired on the day of him and Sonic's arrival on Earth.
"Is that... Me?" Tails asks, the fox decided to search himself up on the internet out of curiosity.
"I'm a video game character?..." Tails says, not believing what he's seeing.
Tails reads more about himself and the more he finds the more unsettled he becomes, but he's intrigued when he starts finding artworks of himself on Google, he can't help but gush at some of them.
"Why do they make me look so adorable..." He asks himself.
A bit more searching later and the fox come across the much more steamy works related to him, when he finds them his face turns persimmon and his eyes go wide, the emotions are flying around in his head as he looks at more of these arts. Eventually he has enough and slams the phone on the mattress. He stares at the wall and then covers his eyes in embarrassment while squealing loudly.
"What in chaos did I just look at...?" He says, visibly and audibly uncomfortable.
Tails decides to try and make some food for him and Sonic to take his mind off the fact he just saw artwork of himself... But then curiousity washes over him. He stops and looks at the phone on the bed. Tails goes to it and picks it up and opens Google again. He gulps and let's the warmth hit his face, he couldn't believe what he was about to do.
"If theres all that stuff about me... Then maybe..."
He types Sonic art into the search bar and gulps before pressing enter. Tails finds all sorts of art with Sonic in it, Sonic by the beach, Sonic running, Sonic saving the day and defeating Robotnik, it was a lot... But then, the fox gets very curious he backspaces until the word art is gone. His heart is beating a million times a minute as he slowly types p-o-r-n after Sonic.
His thumb starts shaking and then he hits enter. Tails bites his lip as his eyes stay glued to the steamy images of his crush, his face is red as he continues to look at art Sonic doing things to Amy, to Shadow, to Sticks, to Blaze... But then he takes it a step further and searches up art with only him and Sonic.
His breathing gets heavy as he scrolls and looks at each one intensely. He's emersed in the art, so emersed he's noting each detail. Suddenly and without warning...
"Tails!" Sonic shouts.
He snaps out of his intense focus and looks at the doorway, standing there with patches covering his leg socket area and shoulder is Sonic. The hedgehog is tapping his foot on the floor as he waits for Tails to get up from the bed.
"Did you make the food" Tails asks, with a nervous smile, he taps the home button on the phone, Sonic rushes over to his left side and scratches his chin in thought. Tails taps on a mobile video game and starts to play it all the while sweat dropping.
"You gonna come eat or am I gonna have to eat the food I made for you?" Sonic taunts.
Tails grumbles, jumps out of bed and flies like a helicopter to the dining room table where Sonic has prepared an American breakfast with waffles, eggs, sausages and a cup of orange juice. The hedgehog cooked himself another serving so he could eat and chat with his little brother.
"You made this?" Tails asks, surprised at what Sonic made.
"Yeah, I found a cookbook in a cupboard with the recipe, it was a piece of cake" Sonic answerers showing it to Tails.
"It looks so good" Tails says, trying to keep himself from drooling.
"Thought you'd love it! Now let's dig in!"
The food Sonic made was bursting with flavour, the fox loved every bite of it. Sonic smiles as he watches Tails gobble down the food he made, putting his hand on his face as he chewed the waffles he made.
"So what's the plan for today?" Sonic asks, he cuts off another piece of waffle and puts it in his mouth.
"My plans for today are to explore more of the city" Tails answers as he takes a bite of the last sausage on his plate.
"Sounds good to me!" Sonic responds.
Tails remembers something that makes his face turn red. But he's eager to do whatever to finally show Sonic how he feels, "Hey... I discovered something called a night club. I was thinking maybe tonight we could go to one? It's in Manhattan so we can take the train"
"What's a Manhattan?" Sonic asks.
Tails eyes twitches, "Manhattan is the island we arrived on, the most popular and most important in the city?"
"Ohhh, aren't we still on Manhattan?"
"Nope, we're in the part of the city called Queens. Actually, there are five parts of this city: Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens and Staten Island"
"Right... So uh where is this nightclub?" Sonic asks.
"It's in Washington Heights!" Tails says, looking at the information on Google maps, "It's called Moonlight!"
Sonic smirks, "Alright let's do it!"
Tails looks down in between his legs and smiles a little. Sonic is confused so he tilts his head to one side, "Yo, Tails? You alright?"
"Huh what? Yeah, I'm fine!" Tails answers.
Sonic gets up and puts his hands on his shoulders. The small fox blushes and looks Sonic in his emerald eyes.
"Bro, you've been acting strange since Eggman died... No, way before that now that I think about it. When are you gonna tell me what's wrong?" Sonic says, his voice taking a serious, distressed tone.
"Sonic... I..."
"... Just tell me, what's wrong!? I want to help you, but you have to let me"
Tails gulps, he wants to break eye contact with Sonic but it's hard for him. He wants to blurt all his thoughts out to Sonic, but it's his probable reaction to the fact that he has a crush on him that's keeping him from opening his mouth. Tails gets up from the chair and strolls away from Sonic, the hedgehog runs in front of Tails and takes him by the hand, squeezing tightly so the fox can't pull away.
"Listen, Tails. Stop hiding from me. The longer you don't tell me what's wrong the more I worry... The more I have the feeling that's eating at my chest. Please, just tell me what's wrong! Let me help you!" Sonic urges.
"I'm questioning my sexuality!" Tails screams under the intense pressure, tears start to well up in his eyes, "There! Happy?!"
There's silence in the room, Sonic's eyes go wide and he lets go of Tails hand. Fear rains down on Tails as he rubs his arm shyly. Sonic pulls Tails in for a hug while the fox cries.
"Was it really that hard?" Sonic says with a reassuring smile on his face.
"Mmm" Tails moans gripping on to Sonic tightly.
"Anyway, I wanna see what other cool stuff this planets got! What do ya say?" Sonic says.
The fox lightens up and manages to turn his attitude around.
"Yeah!" Tails answers wiping his face.
The two begin their day at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. Sonic wanted an aerial view of the city so he asked Tails to fly him over there. It took Tails just over forty five minutes and an hour to fly from Forest Hills to Park Slope, Sonic helped navigate with the smartphone so Tails knew where was going. Tails lands on a grassy field and plops down to the ground, he's exhausted so he takes a water bottle from his bag and starts chugging water. Sonic helps him onto his feet and the two begin exploring.
"It's so quiet here..." Sonic says.
"Yeah, it's almost like we're back home!" Tails adds.
Tails takes his time cataloguing the plants they find and writes down stuff in his notebook. Sonic runs around zooming passed a family on a walk, then there's something that catches his attention. There's a man on a bench sleeping soundly, a fedora covering his face. The hedgehog walks up to the guy and notices something shiny in his pocket, out of curiosity Sonic slowly reaches in and gently takes the object out. He finds its a much more fancier version of the phone Tails had.
"Is that a bitten apple?" Sonic asks himself, the hedgehog noticing the logo on the back of the phone.
Then without warning the human wakes up, taking the hat off his face he and sees Sonic examining his phone.
"Hey freak!" He shouts.
Sonic looks up at the guy and glares at him, "What did you just call me?"
"Freak! So what!? Gimme my phone!"
Sonic smirks, "Oh you want this back?"
The hedgehog hangs the phone in front of his face. The man tries to grab it but Sonic moves it from his reach, "Apologise"
"What?! Fuck no! Gimme my phone you little shit!"
"Oh well" Sonic responds with a shrug, "Mine!"
The man tries to jump on top of him but Sonic evades him, and he lands on his face. The man scrambles up but Sonic is already gone and in the bushes.
"Where are you?! Give me my phone!"
"No!" Sonic shouts from far away.
"Gahhhhhh! Motherfucker!"
Sonic peaks out of a bush and sees Tails studying water samples. The fox had accumulated tons of notes and water testing was the last thing he was doing before him and Sonic would go into Manhattan on the subway.
"Hey Sonic! A lot of the plant life here is similar to the ones on our planet! Their DNA structure is so similar!" Tails says, excitedly sharing his discovery with his brother.
Sonic is impressed with his find, but he's even more excited to show Tails what he got.
"Hey Tails check this out!" Sonic says showing him the iPhone he "got", a proud smirk on the hedgehogs face as he gave it to Tails.
"Whoa, this looks fancy" Tails says marveling at the device in his hand.
"Oh hey check this out... Hey Siri! Play Teleport by Etta Bond"
"Okay, playing Teleport by Etta Bond"

Music suddenly starts flowing out of the phones speakers and Sonic bops his head to the beat of the music, putting the phone down on a rock. Tails likes the rythm too so he dances to it too, soon they're laughing and having a good time as the music plays in the background. When they're done Sonic picks the phone up and breathes a sigh of relief.
The stars are out in the sky, Tails packs up his lab equipment back into his bag, when he's done he motions for Sonic to take him by the hand. The fox laughs as his two tails start spinning and lifting them both up into the night sky. Sonic liked seeing Tails so joyful, it put a smile on his face.
Tails carries him to the subway station and the two ride on the F train, while Sonic is sleeping on the seat, sprawled out like a wild animal, Tails plugs some earbuds into the iPhone and starts looking through the music, skipping around until he finds that one song, that he's just unable to skip. Tails closes his eyes, the music flowing into his ears
"Wow" Tails says to himself.
(Lost Boy by Ruth B.)

The song made him remember the hard life he had growing up and how he felt like an outcast compared to the rest of his people from his village, but then the memories of him and Sonic flooded his head, the happy memories filled his heart with tender happiness, tears flow from his eyes. As the song closes he takes one of Sonics hands and holds onto it.
"Thank you Sonic..." Tails whispers, wiping his face with the other hand.
Eventually they reach a point where they need to transfer trains. Tails grabs Sonic by the arm and dashes to the train across the platform just before the doors close, the carriage is empty which give Sonic an idea.
"Hey... Wanna sing a song?"
Tails nods enthusiastically, "Mhm"
Rather then singing one, the boys sing several as they ride the A train up into Washington Heights. It's a long ride, but they keep eachother happy with the thrill of music. When they finally arrive at their destination near the 190th Street stop. Tails can barely control his excitement, Sonic's upbeat too. After climbing a hill, Sonic sees the club.
The bouncer is sitting there outside the door dosing off so he gestures for Tails to stay quiet as they both walk into the club. Almost immediately they're greeted with loud hip hop music, lots of humans inside dancing like there's no tomorrow, and lights of all different colours flashing and moving around the dance floor.
Tails can smell sweat, perfume and cologne in the air, it bothers his nose but he does his best so it doesn't overwhelm him too much. Sonic on the other hand is brimming with excitement, so much so the first thing the hedgehog does is push through the crowd.
It's there that the blue hedgehog starts to dance his heart out. Tails gulps, he has no idea where Sonic is so he pushes through the crowd in search of the hedgehog, in search of his comfort. The fox starts getting bumped into and pushed around, eventually he gets knocked over to the floor. Sonic sees Tails struggling in the crowd and pushes through the crowd of legs and fancy clothes until he finally gets to Tails and helps him up.
"Sorry buddy, I guess it was all the excitement"
Tails puches him in the shoulder firmly, then he sniffles and grabs on to him for a hug. Sonic sighs and puts his arm around him. The two go sit at a table for a moment, Tails honestly thought he was going to suffocate down there but he didn't and it was a good thing Sonic saw when he did.
When, Tails is done calming down he's ready to dance so he takes Sonic by the hand and drags him onto the dance floor.
"Whoa!"
"Weren't you dancing yourself to death earlier?"
Him and Tails have the time of their lives dancing, laughing and chatting all night. Eventually though...
Sonic slams down an empty glass on the table, Tails looks at him, visibly concerned about what he was doing at the moment.
"Uhhh Sonic, how many of those drinks did you have?" Tails asks, alarmed about the way Sonic was consuming the alcoholic beverages.
The hedgehogs face is flushed, he's wobbly and he's growling softly and aggressively, "Mmm, Tails did anyone ever tell you that you're sexy?"
The fox yips, and blushes in embarrassment, he did not know why Sonic just said that but he knew it would be better if he didn't leave the club for the time being.
"Tails... Are you a girl?" Sonic mumbles.
"N-No Sonic... I'm a boy! What's happening to you?"
"I d'know let's asks Siri!" He says then he laughs and let's his head fall onto the table.
"Hey Siri what happens when you drink too many glasses of wine?" Sonic says, his speech is slurred.
Tails looks at the phone and sees that Sonic is most definitely... "Intoxicated, in other words your drunk"
"What?! I'm not drunk" Sonic says, then he lets out a loud belch.
Tails gets curious, what is Sonic feeling? How many drinks do you need to start feeling like this? He does some research into alcohol and how it affects one's body, the fox then takes the bottle of wine and stares at it for a moment.
Without a second thought he gulps the entire bottle of wine squeezing his eyes shut, the wine is strong, taking control of him like a poison. When he's done he drops the bottle on the floor and it smashes into pieces, the foxes vision is hazy, his whole body is buzzing, his face feels like it's on fire and he feels tired.
"Gah! Buh, it's not that bad!" Tails says, then he leans back on the seat.
"I told you I'm not drunk..." Sonic says with an unsteady smile.
"Uh huh..." Tails responds in a somewhat aggressive tone of voice.
The sound of the bass boosted hip hop in the background was half drowned out as the two stared at each other, Tails wasn't as out of it as Sonic though who's laughing to himself and muttering incoherently.
"Hey Tails... Let's dance..."
Sonic extends his hand to the somewhat woozy Fox. Tails smiles and takes his hand Sonic pulls him out of the chair and the two dance some more, Sonic twirls him around and lifts him around, both of them laughing and filled with joy, as they spin around Tails looks into Sonic's eyes and Sonic meets his gaze, the dancing lights in the room made them both more warm.
Then Tails starts to lift Sonic off the ground. It takes a moment but it grabs the attention of everyone at the club who's watching as Tails and Sonic laugh. The DJ stops the music and pulls out his phone, the other club goers record the two on their cell phones. And then Tails suddenly tosses Sonic at the DJ, he lands on his face and knocks the guy out. The hedgehog plugs the iPhone in and plays a song that starts blasting on the speakers.
(Levitating by Dua Lipa)
"Wooooo!" Sonic shouts.
The crowd below sings along with the song, and as the party goes on and on, Tails sings along too. Everyones dancing and having fun the entire night, when the song ends there's a round of applause for Sonic and Tails, the two stand at the turntables wobbly but still grinning like goofy little losers.
When it's all over, the two find themselves walking down the street. Tails and Sonic laughing as they walk down the street towards the train station, both of them still intoxicated from the copious amounts of alcohol they consumed.
"Hey Tails! I had a lot of fun" Sonic says, as him and Tails hold onto each other while they walk down the street.
"I did too" The fox says.
"Mmm, I feel warm" Sonic moans.
"We're both drunk Sonic... Of course we're warm. It's our bodies trying to filter out the alcohol"
When Tails and Sonic get on the train, Sonic passes out on a seat while Tails stares out the window. While they wait for their last train back to the house, Tails suddenly feels his nerves shoot on his ear and he jumps, the blue hedgehog is chewing on his right ear and mumbling to himself.
Tails gently bats Sonic in the face and he releases his ear. The fox sighs and watches as their train crawls its way into the station, Sonic passes out on Tails shoulder as the fox stares up at the LED lights. They reminded him of the day time sky back in Mobius, how clear it was. Eventually they crawl out back into their temporary house in Forest Hills.
"Hey Tails... Can we call this the Forest Hills Zone?" Sonic asks with a lazy chuckle.
"The Forest Hills Zone? But there's barely and forest here..." Tails says.
"Haha, okay okay... You win" Sonic moans.
The hedgehog feels his legs getting all noodly so he wraps his arm around Tails shoulder as the fox walks next time him. Tails blushes and wraps his arm around Sonic's shoulder too. When the two get inside the house they close the door behind them. Tails puts their bags down and climbs up the steps so he can finally pass out on the bed. Sonic follows him upstairs and into Tails room.
The fox turns around and sees Sonic standing over him. The hedgehog puts his hand on Tails face, he freezes and watches as Sonic gets closer. The two can practically smell the alcohol on their breathes, Tails can clearly see the outline of Sonic's eyes he can feel the heat coming off his face.
"Sonic... What are you doing" Tails whispers.
"I don't know..." He whispers back.
Tails leans closer to Sonic and gently closes his eyes, deep down he knows he shouldn't do this, but his mind doesn't want him to stop... He presses his lips against Sonic's, the hedgehog presses his on Tails as well. The fox pulls away and takes off his gloves then he jumps on Sonic and starts kissing him again. Sonic spins around and falls backwards onto the bed, he tosses his shoes off and then does the same with Tails before the kissing resumes again.
The passion inside them is building up, Tails gets bold and starts licking the inside of his mouth, Sonic does it too. Sonic rolls the fox on his stomach and gets on top of him, passionately kissing Tails from behind.
"Tails... What are we doing?" Sonic says.
"I don't know... But I like it..." Tails moans.
When Sonic starts kissing Tails again, the passionate displays of love became more intense as the night grew on. Tails is having the time of his life, Sonic's touch made his chest boil up with excitement, his whole body felt warm to Sonic's touch. The sounds of heavy breathing and moaning echoed through the house. It goes on for hours and hours, throughout the night, with the stars in the sky.
When morning comes, the sun peaks threw the curtains. It's light shines on Tails face. He groans, his head is pounding and he feels icky inside. The fox wipes his face and sits up when he looks next to him he sees Sonic passed out next to him. It takes a few seconds for Tails to process what he's seeing, then he lets out a loud scream which wakes Sonic up. The hedgehog groans and looks around squinting his eyes.
"Mm, Tails what's wro-"
Sonic sees he's in bed with the fox and his face turns into a peach. The boys lay there, both of them unable to say a word, Tails mouth is open in shock, Sonic has no idea whats happening either, he scrambles off the bed falling onto the floor in the process.
"What did we do last night... I can't remember anything, and why was I in bed with you?!" Sonic shouts.
"I don't know! I barely remember anything either!" Tails shouts back.
"Did we... No we couldn't have... Right?"
Tails grabs a pillow and stuff his face in it, pressing it hard enough on his face to muffle the embarrassed squeal he let out.
"Oh man, my head..." Sonic sits back on the bed, he had a really bad headache.
"Do you need some medicine?" Tails asks.
"Yeah... Heh, ow" Sonic groans.
Tails climbs out of the bed and gets a box from the corner of the room. He take a bottle of blue orbs and opens it, shaking until one of them falls out. Then he goes to Sonic who takes it and pops it in his mouth.
Tails waits nervously as Sonic groans, an indication that the medicine Tails gave him is working, the fox reaches out to put his hand on his shoulder and comfort him, but he stops and puts his hand down. Sonic eventually loosens up and looks at Tails who's visibly worried about him.
"Okay... Now with that outta the way, what did we do last night!?"
Tails then remembers something that would give both of them a clear explanation.
"I was wearing my goggles last night, and before we left Mobius I installed some recording software in my goggles. I had it running all day so I could log everything we did here" Tails explains, then he picks up his goggles and plugs then into a laptop.
Tails fasts forward until... "Stop!" Sonic shouts.
Tails pauses the recording. In the frame Sonic sees himself holding a glass of white wine. The hedgehog winks at Tails and drinks the wine like it's it's the best thing to ever touch his lips.
"Ha! Woo! That's powerful stuff, maybe another wouldn't hurt" Sonic says.
"Sonic! Take it easy!" Tails says.
"It's just powerful, strange tasting fruit juice. What's the worse that could go wrong?" Sonic says.
When Sonic heard himself say that he face palms, "Kill me"
It was discovered the hedgehog had gulped down nine glasses of wine in the span of eight minutes. Sonic couldn't bare to look as he watched himself down glass after glass of wine, slowly growing more and more intoxicated. As they watch more of the footage they see the part where Sonic became DJ for the remainder of the night and their train ride home while Sonic behaves like a drunken fool on the subway... Then come the part that makes both of them begin to die inside... The part where him and Tails start kissing eachother like lovers.
Tails covers his face to hide the blush from Sonic, meanwhile the hedgehog's eyes widen as he watches himself do all these appalling things to Tails in bed. He looks at the fox and sees Tails covering his face, he noticed the tips of the foxes ears are a pinkish red so he looks at the fox and asks him...
"Hey Tails... Are you gay?" Sonic asks, semi-casually.
The fox freezes and slowly turns to meet Sonic's gaze. His crushes eyes seem full of vexatiousness and a tiny bit of fright, there wasn't any point in lying, the footage his goggles recorded was proof enough and he didn't feel like worrying Sonic. Reluctantly Tails answers Sonic question...
"Maybe I am..."
