A small Maria Robotnik x Knuckles fiction
The sunset looks great and she couldn't had it better. She was painting like she usually do, with her tiny but soft magical hands. She can make even garbage looking beautiful, Well, at least that what's Knuckles thinks. When Shadow left for missions, he wanted someone to protect her because, you know, he cannot afford to loose her again. Knuckles didn't understand whatever Shadow told him about before, the most important things was guarding her while he was not there. Okay, he accepted, he is the Master Emerald's guardian: he can do a perfect job protecting the girl (he hoped). However, the girl instead of asking typical things for girls from her age she only asked for a brush, a drawing board and paints. Everyday was the same: he with the Master Emerald and watching the girl doing amazing landscapes, or amazing paintings. He dint remember how it started but he just know how his heart feels every time she smile at him, such an angel she is. But such feeling is not allowed, such sinful through shall not be allowed. Why? Well, he's an echidna and she's a human, that can't work. Besides the Master Emerald is far more important to what his troublesome mind makes him think right?
''Knuckles...Knuckles?'' The girl in question calls him. He snaps out and ask her what she needs. She only wants him to come close to her. He doesn't know what to do, but Knuckles thinks is better to go with her or else she will suspect...
Maria, that's the angel's name. Blue eyes like water, soft skin like cotton, yellow hair like gold...everything about her is perfect, so perfect.
''Are you feeling right?'' She asked, and Knuckles just say 'Yes'
She shows him a new work from her, but this is nothing like he was expecting. Don't misunderstand him, it looks incredible, is just that he didn't know Maria was painting him alongside with such a wonderful landscape this time.
''It's for you'' She says and Knuckles take it, still surprised for her gift. And when he says thanks, the unexpected happened: a kiss from Maria he received. The painting precious treasure is, and in the silent sunset a new couple of lovers can be seen in Angel Island
