Lightblur Prompt #5 Part II
He was clenching a knife tightly in his fist, the sponge in the sink was turning from yellow to red as blood seeped from his hand. He seemed completely unfazed, as if in a trance.
Amy's ears nearly popped as the static noise rose to an octave suddenly. She rushed over to him and screamed his name.
"Amy! I-" he looked at his hand with a newfound horror, and then back at her, "Shit. Sorry, I was just trying to clean the dishes for you."
Amy said nothing as he dropped the knife. She took him away from the sink, putting pressure on his bleeding palm.
"Where's your bag?" she asked.
He pointed silently and they shuffled over to it. She unzipped the top with her other hand and pulled out the same kit he had used on her.
She pulled out the bandages and gauze and rubbing alcohol. She poured a bit of alcohol onto a gauze pad and pressed it against his hand. He didn't blink, he just watched the girl work on his appendage.
Soon she was finished and and she hung her head low, purposely avoiding eye contact.
She lifted her head, her cheeks red with many emotions, "What were you thinking?"
"I- wasnt?" he answered the way he hoped was what she wanted to hear with a chuckle.
"Well, duh." she sniffed, and smiled slightly but then frowned again, "I'm serious."
"So am I. I honestly have no clue what just happened I just-... blanked." Sonic admitted, looking into her light green eyes.
Amy felt a distant buzzing, like a headache was about to come on. She grimaced but tried her best not to show him what she felt.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Sonic put an arm on her shoulder. The touch of his palm awoke the same feeling she normally got when around her blue hero. She pat his hand and he let go after a gentle squeeze. After a few seconds she rose back to her feet and walked over to her shoe closet.
"We shouldn't keep Tails waiting." she mumbled as she pulled on her red boots.
"Heh. Yeah, you're right. Complimentary bridal style carry run for the trouble?" he winked playfully.
Amy rolled her eyes but smiled anyways, lifting her arms above her head in surrender. In a sequence of quick motions he picked her up, placed her in his arms, and ran out the door.
The pink hedgehog cried out from the intense speed, but relaxed instantly afterwards. She leaned her head against his chest and relished in hearing his strong heartbeat as they ran down the streets.
