Reader POV

Today was the day. What day you ask? The day I finally tell Tails how I feel. I thought this over and decided to just get it over with. Love scares me, especially after what happened with them.

"You are nothing more than a waste of space that I happened to take pity on. No one loves you and no one ever will." 

The memories haunt me daily and I wish I could forget. I wish I could forget. 

"You. Are. Nothing! And you'll never be anything! I own you! You have no choice!"

I'm scared of it going wrong, but I need to just go for it. Take a leap of faith! Tails is nothing like (Ex/N). 

"SHUT UP!" *Slap*

I shivered. I may not have many physical scars, but the emotional scars linger. I was so lost in thought, I didn't notice Keila trying to get my attention.

Keila: (Y/N)!

I jumped at the volume of her voice. 

Y/N: Geez! Sorry!

Keila: You space out a lot, you know that?

Y/N: I know. But what do you need?

Keila: Is something wrong?

Y/N: What do you mean?

Keila: You zoned out, there's a distant look in your eyes, and you're stiff. You don't have to go into detail, just give me an idea of what's going on if you can.

I was conflicted. Keila was someone I'd say I trust but did I trust her enough to tell her what happened with (Ex/N)? Well, she did say that I didn't need details.

Y/N: I don't know how this will turn out. Tails is a good guy, but my mind can't help but remind me of my past experiences...

Keila: I understand that completely. Being scared to try something because a past experience messed it up. But we can't always let those past experiences dictate our ability to try again or try something new or we're never going to get over it. One day at a time...

I nodded. Maybe just a brief detail...

Y/N: My last relationship was awful. (She/He/They) didn't... treat me well. Because of that, I've just stayed away from relationships as a whole because I don't want to be desperate enough to allow mistreatment again. 

Keila nodded solemnly. 

Keila: Yep. Desperation is not fun. Especially when you allow yourself to get hurt. 

She gently took my hands. 

Keila: I'm so sorry that someone you thought loved you hurt you. But they don't define you. We won't let them hurt you. You're safe with us. 

I smiled, genuinely. I allow Keila to hug me as I kept reminding myself that Tails is nothing like (Ex/N):  

And what they did to me doesn't define me...

Tails POV

Today's going to be a good day. I don't know why but I can just feel it. As I'm fixing up my plane, Sonic walks in.

Sonic: How's my favorite inventor?

Tails: Just fine. Any reason why you're here?

Sonic: Just felt like seeing you. You seem to be in happier moods these days.

Tails: What do you mean by that?

Sonic: Don't take this the wrong way but while you may have been happy, you weren't happy, happy.

Tails: I don't get it.

Sonic: I could see that look in your eyes. Something was missing to you, and it wasn't an object you could just get.

Tails: Sonic, where are you going with this?

Sonic sighed.

Sonic: Since (Y/N) came, you've been happy. Genuinely happy. 

Tails: Yeah. I guess I have. But would it even work?

Sonic: What, a relationship? I like to think so.

Tails: (Y/N) is great but what if they're too good for me?

Sonic: Don't be like that, bud. You're a great guy and any girl would be lucky to have you.

Tails: That's not what Fiona thought.

Sonic: Is that what you're scared of? That this will turn out like Fiona? 

Tails: Y/N is nothing like Fiona! At least I have a chance... I never had one with Fiona....

Sonic: Because she wouldn't give you one. From the moment I met her, I knew you guys wouldn't work out. My suspicions were confirmed when we found out she was sneaking around with Scourge of all people. 

I sighed as I put away some of my tools.

Tails: My heart was broken that day. The girl I considered to be the one of my dreams told me she never liked me and slapped me. And afterwards, I was only a joke to her.

Sonic: It's crazy how she played both of us. I'm not sure if I'll ever forgive myself for getting with her while knowing your feelings.

Tails: I've already forgiven you for that. It was hurtful at the time but looking back and knowing what kind of person she was, it's not that bad.

Sonic: Doesn't change the fact that I got with her knowing how you felt.

I shake my head. I'll always have this part of me that's mad at Sonic for essentially disregarding my feelings, but Fiona never loved me so that's that.

Tails: Change the topic. I'm tired of discussing her. 

Sonic: Right, right. Back to you and (Y/N).

Tails: You're not gonna drop this, are you?

Sonic: Nope. Not until you tell me you'll tell them how you feel.

I roll my eyes at him. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to try. And Sonic won't leave me alone until I agree.

Tails: Fine. I'll tell them.

He smiles, satisfied.

Sonic: I knew you couldn't say no.

He walks off, probably to celebrate. I let out a slight chuckle at his behavior. I look around my workshop. I feel something different... determination. I go off to my shack to get myself ready. I'm going to do this. I'm going to tell them. 

I won't let what happen with Fiona hold me back.

Hello! Sorry for the long wait, I've been very busy and haven't had inspiration. I decided to split this into two parts and hopefully, I can write the confession chapter soon. Thank you to my friend Kaio for helping me write this whenever I got stuck! Thanks for reading and see you next time!
