Hello - Chapter 4: Love

Sonic just lay there on Chris' bed, eyes shut with hand on his forehead. How could have he not known that Chris was depressed-- SUICIDAL, even?! And now he was in the hospital, three days after Sonic had found him in a puddle of his own blood with scars all over his arms. He had a feeling he would never forget that sight as long as he lived. Chris was still in the hospital after three days, and the only time Sonic got to see him was when the ambulance took him away, and he saw him in a room with his own bed with layer after layer of bandages all over his arms... and that was it. Sonic wanted to jump to conclusions and forget about ever seeing him again, but there was still something inside him that said he was going to live. He was going to be okay. And then something else told him different... and he didn't know what to believe.

---

Chris opened his eyes again, for the first time that day. He had awoken plenty of times in those three days. He was in some sort of hospital bed, the whole room was... white. Pure white. With morning sunlight coming through the window beside him. He wasn't used to all of it, it made him think he had really gone to heaven. Then a nurse came in, and sat on the bed. With a gentle voice, she asked him how he was feeling. He replied in a small voice that the nurse could barely hear, "... I want to go home..."

She looked at him sympathetically. "I know... But you're getting out of here today, that's good news." She smiled and then got up and walked out. Then another person walked in. His stepfather. Chris automatically thought: Panic, but instead of the usually angry look, he had a serious look on his face. He too sat on the bed beside him like the nurse did. "Chris, I know why this happened... because of what has been happening lately?" Chris slowly nodded. "... I know i've been terrible in the past. But it's been stressful for me, and I was taking it out on you. Now I know you feel just as bad as I do." He looked at Chris for a moment. "And... i'm sorry. I never meant to hurt you, never meant to make you do this to yourself. If I had known what had happened to your father made you... depressed, then I would have never taken all my anger out on you." Chris' eyes widened when he saw his stepfather smile. For the first time, he smiled. "I -am- glad that you're okay though... everyone thought you were really dead. So, we're all going out for a small celebration. You need to get home and rest, though. I can take you out some other time, okay?" Chris nodded, and with that, his stepfather left. Chris smiled to himself also. "So, he's not as bad as he seems..." He suddenly felt a lot better... until something struck his mind.

"Sonic?! How is he responding to this?!" Maybe he was at home. Chris needed to go see after he got out today. "Nobody even told him I was in here the whole time, I bet."

---

"Wow, you can talk?"

"Well, of course I can talk..."

"Wow..."

"... My name's Christopher! Do you have a name?"

"A name? ... Yeah... I have a name..."

Sonic was trying not to forget Chris. Kinda like how he was trying to remember what happened when they first met. As far as he could remember, He was flying through the air, and the next minute he was in a pool trying to swim out but having difficulties doing so, and the next minute after that he was on a pool deck in front of a 12-year old kid. Who's name just so happened to be Christopher. And he was so surprised that Sonic could talk. And then two years later, that same 12-year old boy had just turned 14 when he revealed his feelings for Sonic. And a year after that, he was 15, and in the hospital for a suicide attempt-- DAMN, how did it lead back to -THAT- topic?! He turned away, his back turned to the wall. What if Chris -didn't- come back? What if every one of Sonic's memories at the moment were going to be the only things he had of him? What if...

And suddenly Sonic felt a pair of arms wrap around him and felt a sort-of tackling action followed by falling on the bed on his side forcefully. Sonic pryed the arms off from around his body quickly and bolted upright, and turned to see what the HELL that was. He looked down, only to feel disbelief at what he saw. Chris was lying on the bed there, with this playful grin as if he were actually... okay. As if nothing even happened. "Hi. What's up with you?" He lifted up a hand, still grinning. And then Sonic shoved him off the bed and yelled at him.

"What the -HELL- were you thinking?! You, of all people! I never thought you would be cutting yourself, and then going into the hospital!" Chris just stared at him wide-eyed. "You know what I mean! You scared me so FUCKING much those three days! I thought you were dead! What if you -WERE- dead?! I mean, I know that was your goal and all, but do you know how it would have been like for ME?!" Chris noticed that tears were bunched up at the corners of Sonic's eyes now. "I couldn't have lived either! I... I would've missed you too much..." He was speaking softer now, less angrier. He lifted Chris back onto the bed and pulled him into a gentle embrace. "I missed you..."

"I know. I missed you too, and i'm sorry. It's just that..." He pulled away for a moment. "His words... they were getting to me." Sonic looked confused. "Who-- oh... your stepfather?" "Yeah, but while I was at the hospital, he came to see me! He said that he was sorry also. He said that he was just feeling stressful, that's all." Sonic suddenly had an angry look on his face. "That's not much of a reason to yell and scream at you about how 'worthless' and 'weak' you are..." Chris pulled Sonic back into their embrace. "But while he was doing so... you were there for me." Chris wasn't used to this sort-of 'pillow talk', but he owed it. "Everyone else was doing their own thing... and you were the only one that was so good to me..." Sonic felt a tighter hug around him. Sonic decided that the good thing about being a human instead of a hedgehog was that you can love anything -- human OR animal-- without getting dissed for it. Too bad nobody else knew about Chris and Sonic.

"Um... Sonic?"

"Yeah?"

Chris pulled away for a moment. "My stepfather... he said he was taking everyone out tonight. And for me to come back and rest. They're not going to be back for a while. Maybe at about 1 AM." Chris looked at the nearby clock -- 9 PM. "So... i'm all alone at the moment." He grinned. "That is, except for you, of course." Sonic was once again confused. Chris saw the helpless look in his face and whispered something to him. When Chris pulled away, Sonic's eyes widened. "Y-you-- You sure?!" Chris nodded. "I'm sure... i'm so sure..." He pulled Sonic back on the bed on top of him and softly kissed him...

Chris woke up the morning after. He turned to his other side in the bed, expecting Sonic there. But he was missing. Chris quickly got up and put on some clothes he could find anywhere in his dresser. He walked into the living room to find Sonic on the couch, watching TV. Chris sat beside him. "So, where is everyone?" "Still in bed. I got up when I heard then pull in the driveway last night, so I just put on some clothes and told them you were sleeping. So they went to bed also." Sonic paused for a moment. "Oh, and your stepfather is supposedly still out. He only dropped everyone else home, and went back driving out. Says he went to get something for you, but he never came back last night."

Chris nodded. Then he grinned and sat a little closer to Sonic. Then he started placing small kisses on his shoulder... Sonic finally noticed this and stopped him. "Chris. If we... um... then, everyone else will hear. Theyre actually -here- at the moment-- Mmmmph!--" He was pushed back onto the couch with Chris on top. He started to kiss him, and Sonic decided to forget it, if they found out, they found out. This was something he loved. He was kissing him back when a knock was heard at the door. Chris groaned and Sonic got up to answer the door, leaving Chris alone. Chris just lay there, closing his eyes and smiling, waiting for Sonic to get back...

Sonic opened the front door and looked at the visitor-- er. visitors. Two policemen. One of them started to speak. "Is there a boy that goes by the name Christopher here?"

Chris was almost in a deep sleep when Sonic returned about 10 minutes later, with a sort-of... serious look on his face. "Hi there." Chris mumbled as he climbed back into his lap. Sonic stopped him, though Chris kept planting kisses on his shoulder and neck. "Mmm, what's wrong?" Sonic pushed him away and sat beside him on the couch. "Chris... um..." Sonic looked at the ground and nodded. "Yes. Yes, there's something wrong..." He closed his eyes and sighed. "Your stepfather was in a car accident last night."

Chris looked at Sonic for a moment. "So... he's in the hospital?! Aww, I HATED that place..." Sonic stopped him again. "No, Chris, wait... There's more." Chris looked at Sonic, his emerald eyes full of seriousness and a bit of sympathy. "I... Chris, I'm sorry... He didn't make it."

Chris paused. He kept staring at Sonic. "Wha--what... what does... what does that mean?" he asked, even though he knew perfectly well what it meant. "Chris, i'm sorry... i'm so sorry..." Sonic pulled Chris back into a hug, and stayed like that for the longest time...

-- End of Chapter 4 --

W00t, a longer chapter! And yes, there's another version to this fic, in that link up there. I felt like writing a lemon at the time. EVENTHOUGHITWASMYFIRSTLEMONOMG. Aiiiiie I did so terribly on it. I did tell my friend I could make smut though. Damn.

So. That ending was kinda unexpected, right? ... Oh, yeah right. You probably halfway expected it. Anyway, next chapter is the reason that 'Hello' got it's name. Whee.
