Alternate Knouge Scene in SA2B

How brilliant would it be if they actually kissed in the game!? Hee hee I'm such a big Knouge Fan!! Knuckles and Rouge Forever!! Screw Shadow and Rouge! >

Honestly though, wouldn't it be much better and interesting if they kissed? I bet that they'd always have a awkward atmosphere after this encounter because they both like each other but won't admit it, not to mention it would be profound for both of them because it had to have been Knuckles' first kiss at least.
