My amazing reviewers: LustLets, Akari, Heart Reveries, NeckBreak, IHeartSonAmy!

After yesterday's chapter I'm pretty burnt out (I wrote most of that in one sitting), so have something short and sweet~ I was in a super flirty mood while writing this so be prepared for that haha...

SonAmy week is almost over, but it's been an amazing event! Enjoy "Captured!"

Captured

Damsel in distress.

The role she'd played too often, and come to hate. Amy had told herself long ago she wanted to be more independent, but had failed miserably at that goal. It seems nowadays, she was always used as bait to lure Sonic into danger. Of course, her hero always came to save her, and Amy would forever cherish the moments he held her in his arms, close to his heart, protecting her and keeping her safe. Still, there was a piece of her that felt like a burden. An annoyance, an inconvenience. She shouldn't have to be in danger to get Sonic to hold her. Did he just see her as a weak girl who constantly needed her help?

As she sat in Eggman's latest cage for her, Amy looked around, trying to find a way out on her own. Maybe if she could escape and join Sonic in the fight, she could impress him and finally get him to notice her - and as more than just a girl needing to be saved. She could see it now, Sonic looking at her in awe and impressed, and he would just have to sweep her off her feet and pull her in for a kiss and then they'd live happily ever after.

Yes. Amy had to make that happen. Now, how to get out of here…?

..~...

"I'm here to bust you out, Ames!" Sonic came to a stop confidently in front of… an empty cage?

"Ames?"

Sonic glanced around the room. Nothing, no one anywhere close. That was strange, just a few moments ago Eggman had been bragging he was holding Amy captive in this very cage. Sonic had kicked his butt as always, and now he was here to free the girl, but she'd gotten out. Had Eggman taken her somewhere else, was she still being held?

Sonic headed back to his friends, who were waiting by the Tornado. He quickly spotted Tails and Knuckles, and with them - there she was. How had she gotten out here so fast? Had she escaped herself?

"Thanks for saving me, Knuckles!" he heard Amy say in a sugary sweet, singsong voice.

Sonic's jaw dropped, and then clenched when he saw her next move. She leaned in close, before planting a kiss on Knuckles' muzzle. No she just didn't!

"Grr," he mumbled. Jealousy bubbled up within him like boiling water, threatening to explode. He approached the group, his fists clenched. Exacerbating his envy, Knuckles took Amy's hand and kissed it. Sonic growled, and didn't hesitate his next move.

"What gives, Knux?" Sonic demanded of his friend, suddenly in his face. He pushed Amy to the side and away from the echidna.

"We have a problem, Sonic?" Knuckles demanded, his temper already flaring up.

"Yeah we do. I was supposed to be the one to save Amy!"

And get that kiss, he thought, but felt his face flame from the idea.

"What's the big deal? We all got out okay," Knuckles said with a shrug.

"I can kiss you too, Sonic~!" Amy offered, batting her eyes at him.

His blush deepened as he examined her soft lips, and he shot back, "No, I don't care about that! That's not what this is about!"

"Then what is this about?" Tails asked, smirking at his older brother.

Sonic felt three pairs of eyes staring him down, and he realized he'd painted himself in a corner here. Crap - his impulsiveness had caused him to stick his foot in his mouth. He turned his back on his friends, crossing his arms and tapping his foot.

"Never mind. Just next time, let me do the saving, okay? I gotta keep up my hero cred."

He heard Tails and Knuckles both snort laughter behind him, but he didn't care. Maybe it was a lame way to save face, but he'd had to say something. For now he just wouldn't look at them until his blush died down. Amy's voice, though, made him want to spin around.

"And Tails, thank you for piloting us out of there! I wouldn't know what to do without you!"

The blue hedgehog turned just in time to see Amy plant a kiss on the kitsune's forehead. She brushed away his bangs, and then pressed her lips to his face again, this time on his fuzzy cheek.

Sonic was livid. They were all messing with him. He knew it. Still, a guttural growl escaped his throat before he exclaimed. "Oh come on, is that really necessary!?"

Tails and Knuckles were nearly imploding with laughter, their hands gripping their mouths.

"He's so jealous," Tails said between giggles.

"Cut it out, you two! I am not. Just don't see why the kissing is necessary."

"That's fine," Amy finally spoke, and Sonic was too flushed to look at her. "Because my offer to kiss you has been revoked."

"Hmm, like I care," he grumbled again, his eyes glued to the sky. "I don't care, okay? It's not like you've kissed me before or anything, so I'm not missing out, nope."

Tails didn't even bother holding back his laughter, and Sonic shot him a a murderous stare.

"Instead, I'm going to kiss Knuckles again, for holding me in his strong arms and saving me, ah, my hero…" she drawled, and leaned in to kiss his cheek again.

"Grrrrrr…"

Knuckles smiled at her and even gave a wink, as if to mock Sonic more. "You're welcome, Amy, anytime. I've got your back."

"Okay, okay, enough - " Sonic belted out, exasperated. Without another thought, he ran over to Amy and pulled her close to him. His hands fell down to her hips, letting their bodies line up as he pushed his face towards hers. Sonic didn't let himself hesitate; he knew is he did, he'd chicken out. No more thinking, it was time for action.

Their lips met just briefly, but in that moment, it was enough for Sonic to feel a sense of relief from his jealousy. This had been what his heart was craving and longing for this whole time, and it felt nice, if only for a few seconds, to hold Amy and make her all his. It gave him a thrill unlike anything he'd felt - his heart was tenderized as they shared a romantic moment.

"Ooooooop!" Tails and Knux cheered, but Sonic ignored them to grin at the blushing girl he'd just kissed.

"There. None of that cheek kissing. That's how you do it the right way," he smirked at her.

Amy looked stunned, but she didn't miss a beat and grinned flirtatiously. "Wow, Sonic, I didn't realize you were so experienced. Wanna show me what else you can do?

He smirked back, and leaned in again, this time capturing her lips in a more thorough kiss. He could feel her grin against his mouth, her lips pushing into his, passionate and wanting. Sonic's hands crawled up Amy's back, shivering when he met her bare skin and was reminded her dress was lowcut in the back. He wanted and had to have her close, taste her luscious lips. She had instantly become his new favorite flavor and Sonic couldn't get enough of her.

Maybe the first few seconds of the kiss had been motivated by pure jealousy and lust, but as they continued kissing, the hedgehogs felt their hearts begin beating together in unison. It didn't just feel nice in their lips, but in their emotions as well - they were captivated by each other.

"Knux, should we just leave them here?" Tails whispered while the hedgehogs were locking lips.

"Yeah, let's go…" The two hopped in the Tornado, and Tails started the engine.

The sound of the plane was just barely enough to get Sonic and Amy's attention off of each other, and they broke the kiss out of nothing but necessity. Sonic reacted fast, gathering Amy into his arms and leaping onto the wings of the plane. He shielded her from the intense winds as they gained altitude, and Amy held onto him closely, unable to hide her grin as she nuzzled into his chest.

"That was a pretty nice kiss," Sonic said.

"Mmm, you're not so bad yourself," she purred. "We should do it again."

Sonic was seriously starting to become attracted to this confident, flirty nature that Amy was showing. He'd pushed her off in the past, but knowing how good of a kisser she was, and how amazing he made her feel, he may have to reconsider his stance to keep her at a distance.

"Anytime Rose," he winked at her again, his hands falling back to her waist.

Once the plane leveled out at cruising altitude, Amy giggled and spoke. "Oh, and for the record Sonic, Knuckles didn't save me, I got myself out of prison."

"Yeah, we just wanted to mess with you," Knuckles added slyly.

"Thought it'd be funny," Tails was still giggling in cockpit.

Sonic drooped, clearly unamused. "I hate all of you. Except you." He pointed at Amy. "I like you," he added with a wink.
