(Don't mind the picture. I couldn't find a better one 😭)

Living with Knuckles had been quite enjoyable. 

Sure, as Maddie said, Knuckles was very heavy-handed.

He broke almost everything he touched and he stomped around 24/7.

You didn't own anything of any major value so you didn't mind. 

You also thought it was funny that Knuckles's favorite food on Earth was grapes.

Out of all the foods it was grapes. 

But he did have a habit of eating like a beast.

He would shove 20 in his mouth at a time, it was insane.

So as a result, you hid the grapes on the top shelf in the kitchen.

And when you wanted grapes you had to sneak them.

You thought it was ridiculous every time you had to sneak grapes in your room, but this was so Knuckles didn't choke himself.

But Knuckles wasn't stupid he was just slow to the punch.

So eventually, he caught on to why he could never find any grapes in the refrigerator.

It was about 10:34 at night and you were minding your business eating McDonald's in your room.

You heard a knock at your bedroom door, which you assumed was Knuckles.

"Come in!" you blurted out towards the door.

Knuckles barged in your with a loud bang.

You jumped a little but not too much, you were used to loud noises.

"Why are the grapes located on the top shelf." He stated firmly.

You were a little nervous, I mean Knuckles was very intimidating.

He had a look of confusion and slight anger on his face. 

"You eat grapes like there is no tomorrow Knuckles..." you paused.

He was confused but listening.

"...so I put it up there so you wouldn't devour them like an animal." you laughed at your joke.

He still seemed confused but there was a little smile on his face.

You realized that he must have attempted to climb the cabinet to reach them.

The only reason you put them up there is because of his height.

"Can you retrieve the grapes from the top shelf?" he asked with a straight face.

"Seeming that you only better me in height," he added embarrassed about the situation.

You giggled as you got up to get him his grapes.

When you reached the top shelf and grabbed the grapes you looked down at him.

He was looking at you with awe like he was amazed that you could reach such a high place.

Once you got his grapes you made sure to portion them out evenly between you two. 

"Thank you for the grapes, Y/N," he said bluntly. 

"You're welcome my echidna companion," you said jokingly.

You didn't expect him to agree but he nodded at your statement and walked to his room.

He was confusing but at least we were friends right.

Knuckles's POV

As I walked to my room I thought about Y/N's statement.

They said we were companions.

They've been so nice to me since I got here. 

Being a warrior you don't get called terms of endearment very often. 

It has only been a month since I first arrived.

They trusted me quicker than I trusted them.

In the last couple of days of me being in their home and I've started getting a weird feeling when they're around me.

Emotions are not necessary for an echidna warrior but maybe a couple wouldn't be so bad.
