Silver’s POV

I laid under the covers wide awake as I thought about what all happened today. Ever since this morning Mephiles has been acting weirder than normal. I makes me wonder what's going on through his head when he freezes up.

"At some point later on, Mephiles will probably start to remember some stuff, though not much. If this happens, make sure that only a few do and not too much to the point where he will be over curious and ask questions. Okay?"

Those words started to echo through my head. Is that what's going on with Meph? If so then how much does he remember? Oh dear....I hope he doesn't remember anything embarrassing or horrible... Especially if it was one of mine...

Now I began to worry. I continued to think about all of today when I heard my door creak open. I quickly shut my eyes and make myself look like I'm sleeping. There was a few more creaks before it stopped. I then heard a sigh. It was no doubt Mephiles from the deep pitch of that sigh.

Nothing happened for a moment and I could feel his gaze on me before the door creaking a bit more and the sound of my door clicking. I was just ready to open my eyes when I heard soft pads on feet on my carpet floor and the slight drop of my bed from behind me. What is he doing?

A hand brushed over the side of my head and down my quills. I couldn't help but purr softly from the touch. My bed dipped a little more and weight was applied to the sleeping furniture. An arm was then rested on my side before I felt Mephiles scoot closer to me. I knew I should have told him to leave my room and go back to the couch but it's been so long...

I sighed intently and a small smile crept onto my lips as I moved ever so slightly back. I wanted him to be close to me like all those years before... I'm going to let this happen this once. I don't want to make things worse...

Morning

I woke up with the feeling of something on my waist. I looked down to see a arm resting across my hip. Then I remembered last night when Mephiles crawled into my bed and began cuddling with me. I smiled at the thought but quickly remembered my sisters words. My smile instantly faded and I saddened.

I sighed and sat up in the bed. I was only wearing pajama pants so the cold air hitting my bare chest made me shiver. Mephiles' hand was now draped over my lap but I didn't move it away. Instead, I looked down to the ebony hedgehog that laid asleep next to me. My hand raised and lightly pet from his ear to his quills in loving manner. I couldn't help myself... I haven't been able to do this for twelve years. I wanted this to last as long as possible. But unfortunately, like all good moments, it couldn't.

With that I got up slowly as to not wake the sleeping form in my bed and went down stairs to make breakfast. I went into the kitchen and plugged my phone into the speakers. I listened to the first song that played, 'Stitches' by Shawn Mendes, as I open the pantry and pulled out a few ingredients that I needed to make pancakes. The volume was low but loud enough to hear while cooking.

I fixed up the batter and placed some in the prepared pan on the stove. The next to play on the speakers was my favorite, 'Just Like Fire' by Pink. I walked over to the fridge and grabbed the eggs and bacon. I started to dance to the song as I put the eggs on another pan and the bacon in the oven.

Mephiles' POV

I slowly awoke and noticed that I was alone. The bed sheets were still a little warm so I'm guessing Silver hasn't been up too long. I sat up in the bed and stretched my arms out. The soft sound of music drifted into my ears. Curious, I got up from the bed and crept to the door before slowly going downstairs. Once down to the main floor, I strode over to the kitchen and peered through the doorway. I instantly blushed at what I saw.

Silver was standing half naked in front of the stove, flipping pancakes, and dancing to a song playing on his speakers. I watched as his butt moved up in down and hips move side to side as the song went on. At one point he even through his arms up with a spatula in one hand, fluently moving his entire body. His moves almost seemed like something you'd see at a club or dance party.

A smirk then appeared on my muzzle as I watched his continue to dance and make breakfast. I think I had come down right when the song started cause I stood on the doorway, watching, for three whole minutes. Those few minutes I will remember for all of eternity...

The song finally ended and I decided to make my presence known. And to make Silver embarrassed.

"Nice moves. Would have been famous enough on YouTube," I said walking into the kitchen with my hands in my pockets.

Silver spun around and faces me with a shocked expression. His muzzle was completely light red and the spatula was held in hands, close to his chest. He looked like a child that was scared about being caught in the act of doing something he wasn't supposed to.

"Wha-? Mephiles!? H-hey! I d-didn't hear you c-come down! H-How long h-have you been watching m-me?" Silver stuttered.

I sat down at the island and set my arms down on the counter top before answering. "The whole time."

His blush only deepened and he stared at me for a few more seconds before turning back to the stove. I watched his back as he continued to make breakfast. I wanted to start up a conversation but I didn't know what to talk about. My mind wander to yesterday at Rouges with the 'Truth or Dare' game. Then I thought of the flashes.

"Hey Silver?" I asked.

"Yes Meph?" he replied.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure"

I rubbed the back of my neck out of nervousness. "Well, remember yesterday morning when we had the little conflict between us?"

"If you are planning on getting back at me with telling the others about what just happened then you can do that if you want," Silver as he turned around to face me and leaned against the island counter top.

I roll my eyes playfully and look at Silver amused. "No. That's not what I was going to say." I then got serious. "Yesterday when I got to

my apartment, I was still practically fuming over what happened and decided to take nap. That's what I did but my dream was what freaked me out. In the dream I was a child and I was like some Prince and the king and queen that were my parents were stressing out over something. I came in the room asking what was wrong and the King said for me to go back to bed. I did as I was told and the queen had yelled at the King for being harsh on me. I didn't pay to much mind into it and brushed it off as some weird dream but then I got kind of flash at Rouges. I got one when I heard you scream and one when we where in the spare bed room. The one I got from your scream was one where you were a child and you were getting beat by your father that seemed to be a demon king or something. The second one I got when at Rouges was one where we were both teens or and I had found you out in the forest crying." I decided not to tell Silver of the other two I had and looked up to see Silvers reaction.

The look he gave was a mixture of many emotions that made it hard to tell what they were. He also seemed to be in some kind of dazed state. I called his name and he didn't react. I waved my hand in front of his face and he still didn't move. He didn't even blink. I was now worried. Did I do something? Is he going into shock from all that I had said? What's going on?! Why won't he come out of his trance?!

Panicking more I moved over next to him and shook his shoulders. Silver then snapped back to reality and looked at me frightened. This only scared me. I held onto his shoulders and he held onto my arms as we looked at each other, waiting for someone to say something. Then I thought, why would he act like this?

I squinted my eyes at him and said, "You know something. Don't you?"
