Knuckles felt ashamed if he haven't yelled at Sonic like that none of this wouldn't happen....& for the first time he blamed himself for what happened to Sonic.....but he needed to treat Sonics wounds as soon as possible.....first he took off the hospital shirt gently and said, oh man why did this happen to hi....*he gasp as he looked at the scars, bruises, burns, and tiny bite-marks (from the leaches) all over his body*....oh Goddess all mighty....he's been hurt a lot worse......*then shocked to see more bruises and burns on his legs as he took off the hospital pants*.... Sonic who was lying down looking at the ceiling with empty looking eyes didn't know what to do anymore..... Knuckles swallowed as he began to treat his wounds properly and gently.....but as soon as he was almost done wrapping the wounds up he accidentally fell on top of him....Knuckles got up a little but then suddenly blushed as he was close to Sonics face but it wasn't long until J.J. Knocked on the door and said as he came in, hey I almost forgot I'm bringing you both a change of clothes in case yo.....*J.J. Had the wrong idea as he thinks he saw the two having sex with each other* oh umm....I'll just put these right here....sorry for interrupting.... with that J.J. closed the door behind him and left....... Knuckles was surprised to know that J.J.thinks what he thinks he's thinking..... Sonic thought as he still stared at the ceiling, what the hell just happened? Knuckles saw the spare clothes J.J. left for them and took one long shirt and put it on Sonic.....As the shirt was on him completely Knuckles held him once again but this-time closer and tight as he could as he cried.... he noticed Sonic placing his head on his shoulder as he whispered, wh...why are...y...you crying...? He answered as he held him closer, there's no forgiveness for me....this is all my fault.....I shouldn't yelled at you like that....I'm such a bad friend.....Sonic fell asleep although he was confused what to make of it....Knuckles notices the sleeping hedgehog and lays him back down....then turns off the lights before going to sleep himself....they slept right next to each other that night....
