Merga x Rouge: First Date

Story

(Another commission by Xao (https://twitter.com/xao_art). This one is in celebration of "Sonic X Shadow: Generations", which came out recently. It would seem that, after Merga spent some time in Mobius, she and Rouge wound up becoming a couple! Don't worry. Rouge hasn't forgotten about Shadow and she still loves him greatly. I'll eventually write a story that gives this more context, but, for now, here's a summary of what happened that led to this crossover pairing!)

"When Merga found herself in Mobius, she desired a quiet life. Instantly trying to start her own flower selling business, she would find herself in need of a place to sleep. Needing a job, she discovered that a certain bat mobian needed a babysitter for her recently born child, given that her boyfriend had vanished (VERY long story). This was how the Water Dragon met Rouge and became her roommate alongside E-123 Omega.

At first, the two were simply acquaintances, but Merga turned out to be a great babysitter. Rouge could also tell the Water Dragon was in need of a friend. Pretty soon, the two began to hang out more, with Merga learning more about Mobius in the process. Rouge also noticed that, in a few ways, Merga was much like her missing lover, Shadow. Mainly, brooding and powerful, yet also warm-hearted and still feeling the pain of the past.

Already, Merga began to develop feelings for the beautiful bat mobian, as she was a wonderful mixture of mischievous and kind. She was even bringing out some of the Water Dragon's own mischievous side. She knew that Cordelia would have wanted her to be happy, so she decided to follow her heart. Rouge would admit that her heart still belonged to Shadow, but she had recently found a message from the hedgehog mobian that, should his mutations run out of control (which they did), he would want his best friend and lover to find happiness as well, giving his blessing to anybody who courted the bat mobian, as long as she was happy in the end.

Thus, Merga and Rouge went on their first date, the two finding that they shared an equal level of passion when talking about their hobbies (horticulture and gemstones, respectively). Eventually, Rouge's hand would find itself over Merga's, the Water Dragon feeling a great deal of warmth in her heart. A warmth she had missed after not feeling it for so many years."

    Plausible reaction from Merga, given that Time Capsules from Freedom Planet 2 imply that outside of combat she was actually a bit of a goofball in distant past.

    Sadly, I haven’t played either Freedom Planet game as of yet (and as is, might only have access to the 2nd with Xbox only having that one and no port version of the 1st), but crazy that I saw the latest Arena was just completed and despite not reading it yet, I did read the end and see this was “hinted at” by the author, and that this was already made! Or was done already more likely, and just uploaded to not be a “spoiler” too soon, before it was even finished.

    But from the summary and what I remember reading of the Sonic story “End of the Road” where Silver/Sonic passed and Shadow apparently vanished, these two seem like a kindred couple of spirits, even if I wouldn’t call “gemstones” a hobby, personally. Curious of what their relationship will be expanded into in future pics/installments of the series! That is, if it also doesn’t eventually fall into a retcon/non-canon, like some other ones in the series.

    To give clarity, as clarified in the Arena server, this commission was completed after the fic was completed, but the fic was not fully uploaded to ArchiveOfOurOwn and FurrAffinity. The commission was uploaded a day after both versions of the fic were uploaded.
