Sonic and I have started living together for the past week now. We've got somewhat a bit closer ever since we first met. I've warned Saitama and Genos about him and my condition. I don't want Saitama and my apartment to burn down or get sliced into pieces because of a dumb fight to become stronger. I've also been forcing Sonic to learn some basic skills like cooking and cleaning. I watched him try to cut some carrots with a knife. He was getting frustrated.
                          
"Why can't I just use my sword!?" he says. I shook my head.
                          
"That's not how you cut a carrot. You have another weapon to use now," I stated watching him trying to cut. I sighed looking at him as he was ready to give up. I walked over and placed my hands on top of his. I helped him cut the carrots into tiny pieces to make some fried rice. "Was it that hard?"
                          
"Clearly!" he shouted. I removed my hands.
                          
"Go place it in and stir everything up quickly now," I directed. He did as I said. He was wearing a black apron and used a bandana to cover his hair. He finished up and set the bowls onto the table. We sat down and started eating together. "Have you found any useful information about me yet?"
                          
"You're probably trying to hide your secret from me!" he says.
                          
"You're so tense on everything," I said finishing my bowl first. I get up and go behind him getting on my knees. "I'm going to put your sword next to you, alright?" he nods. I placed it next to him and started massaging his shoulders. 
                          
"What are you doing?" he asked.
                          
"Just a small massage to calm you down a bit," I said continuing. I massaged up to his neck then back down to the sides of his shoulders as he ate his bowl of fried rice. "Put on your mask later, let's go down to the fair that they have going on," 
                          
"Why do I have to go?" he asked.
                          
"It's my command, besides, my secret might be exposed there," I said. His eyes brightened hearing me say that. 
                          
(Hours later)
                          
I put on a simple black shirt and paired it with jeggings. I watched Sonic just wearing a causal hoodie with some sweats. We got out of my apartment and went out to go check the fair. When we got there, I dragged him to a carousel as we sat on the horses. It started to move and I was admiring the beautiful lights that were shining. I smiled and looked over at Sonic. I caught him staring at me then looking away blushing. I was a bit confused on why he reacted like that. we continued the ride until it ended. I continued dragging him onto different rides together as he followed, it's not like he had any other choice. I looked over at a bottle ring toss.
                          
"Do you think you're good enough to win a big plushy?" I asked. His eyebrows raised then smirks. We walk over as I paid for him. He tossed the rings and nothing. I looked at him.
                          
"Give me another try!" he says as I paid another try. He tried again and only won a small plush. 
                          
"Weakling," I said laughing. I paid for a turn and easily scored a big hedgehog plush. I looked over at him expressing an angry pout. "You still did good," 
                          
I started walking and elbowed his arm a bit. He looked over at me.
                          
"What," he says petty.
                          
"Did you want to do anything at this fair?" I questioned. 
                          
"I want to leave," 
                          
"Aww, that's no fun. Let's go on a nice boat ride!" I said walking over to a lake with boats full of couples. He rolled his eyes when I looked back at him. I got in the boat as he also did. We faced each other and I grabbed the paddle, but he snatched it from me.
                          
"I'll do it!" he says as he started to paddle. I hugged my plush and smiled down at the water. The weather was very cooling, but not to the point where I'd shiver. Sonic tried his best not to bump into other couples' boats. I looked at him so focused on the paddling. I tapped my shoe against his.
                          
"Doesn't the sky look pretty?" I asked. He looked up and observed it.
                          
"It's a sky," he said bored. 
                          
"Look at the stars and the moon," I pointed. A small flower petal fell onto his nose and he didn't notice. I laughed seeing it as he glared at me.
                          
"What's so funny?"
                          
I leaned over as we were close, face to face. I smiled and removed the flower petal on his nose. He notices and looks at me. I hadn't bothered to pull away yet, so we just stared at each other closely. I could feel the heat of his face forming. I leaned and kissed his cheek.
                          
"Thank you for coming with me to this fair. I enjoy your company a lot," I whispered in his ear and leaned back to stare at his facial reaction. He was still there completely frozen trying to take in what just happened. "Sonic? Let's go home,"
                          
"No," he answered.
                          
"Why not? I thought you wanted too,"
                          
"L-Let's just stay here a bit longer! I changed my mind!"
                          
"Alright then," I smiled.
