The Lonely Life I Hate…

CHAPTER ONE


It was yet another rainy day and it sure wasn’t making Shadow feel any better about his plans for tonight. Just last night he spent his time planning and thinking of what to say to the love of his life; he hadn’t slept at all. It was so difficult and nerve-wracking that he thought of abandoning the cause just before he left his place. But Shadow was lucky because he was as stubborn as a mule; once he had his mind set on something he wouldn’t give up.

Why should he give up? He’d been settling for five years and now and had nothing to show for it. He was going to tell Sonic once and for all how he felt, even if it meant losing him forever. In any case he’s already used to that kind of outcome.

Before Shadow had left that day he called up Rouge for a little pep talk. She backed him one hundred percent and even gave him some advice on how to kiss him just right. It caused the black hedgehog to blush and growl, “Dammit, Rouge. Stop that!”

”Oh, don’t get your quills in a knot. I’m just trying to help.” She cooed sweetly into the phone.

”It’s not going to go down like that, I’m sure…” Shadow said, trying to rub the red off his cheeks. “Besides… I don’t have the guts to pull something like that off like you do.”

”You never know, Shadow. You’d be surprised what love will make you do.”

Shadow smirked to himself, “And I suppose you speak from experience?” He heard a laugh from the other line that went on for a few seconds.

”Two words, sweetie. Bank robberies!” she giggled.

Again the bat girl made a good point. She did love jewels quite a bit. Loved them enough to break into maximum security banks and museums; She had even tried stealing one from her boyfriend. “Very funny, Rouge. I’ll keep that in mind, anyway.”

”Good luck, baby. Don’t take no for an answer! Show that boy whose boss!” she said excitedly. All he could do was chuckle a thank you and hang up. She really had a way of making him feel better. He shoved his phone back into his jacket and continued walking. This time he was prepared for the weather and armed with a small umbrella. He sure as hell wasn’t going to get sick because of the rain; especially not tonight.

It took Shadow what seemed like ages to get to his destination. He was in enemy territory; and it was frightening. His heart raced as he climbed up the steps to Sonic’s place and knocked at the door. It felt like it was jumping around in there and getting stuck right in his throat. And when the door opened it got worse.

“Shadow! Hey man! What’s up?” Sonic smiled widely. “You’re crazy walking around in this weather!” The blue hero pulled him inside to get him out of the elements. Shadow looked around at the mess in there and felt his eye twitch. Rouge had picked on him for being such a neat freak; and no matter how many times or where he saw a mess he felt like cleaning it. Maybe all those years in a sterile environment had something to do with his unusual quirk.

”Sonic…” Shadow began, looking into his eyes with a confidence that instantly seemed to run away in terror. “Hey uh… I was hoping you’d come by my place later.”

”Really? What’s the occasion?” Sonic asked with a grin.

”Well… I finally had my place worked on. Thought you’d like to see it. Besides, I got a new HDTV to get on Xbox Live.” Shadow said, trying to think of a way to get him over there.

”Oh sweet. This’ll be awesome! I’ll bring my headset!” With that the hedgehog took off. Shadow blinked and thought to himself that he didn’t mean for him to come over so soon. When he came back a few seconds later, he was ready to go. “So hey, why didn’t you just call me anyway?”

Shadow looked at him and laughed nervously, “Oh well you know. I though it’d be rude to have you go all the way over there in this weather. Which reminds me… you really should grab a jacket.”

”Yeah?” was all Sonic said as he ran over to the adjacent side of the room and grabbed one from a coat hook on the wall. “Let’s book it.” He snickered as he went out, Shadow following close behind. “Race ya there, old man!”

In spite of his better judgement, Shadow couldn’t really refuse a good challenge. “I don’t know... I’d hate to put you to shame, faker.”

”We’ll see about that, Shads! Go!”

CHAPTER TWO


In contrast to the trip it took Shadow to get to Sonic’s place, this one lasted about 2 minutes, if not less. Both hedgehogs ran at top speed in the pouring rain, through muddy and oily puddles and even through and over heavy traffic lined up on the highway. Needless to say, both of them acted recklessly and without any regard to safety. The only thing that mattered to them at that moment was winning.

Shadow practically flew up to his doorway, shouting triumphantly knowing he had got there first. As he stood under a balcony for cover he couldn’t help but wonder where Sonic was.

”Hey, Shads!” Sonic snickered. Shadow looked up in complete surprise and saw Sonic dangling his legs off the up stair neighbor’s balcony, smirking and completely drenched. “First you invite me over then ya take all day getting here! How rude!”

Shadow smirked. “How did you manage that, huh?”

”Ah, its easy when you’re the fasted hedgehog on earth!” he prodded his thumb against his chest and beamed in pride before hopping off the ledge and landing in front of Shadow.

”Well looks like you got me this time, Sonic.” Shadow snickered and opened up his door. “Ladies first.” He said with a slight bow.

”Heh! Jerk!” Sonic strolled in and wiped his shoes on the mat by the doorway. “Whoa! Classy stuff ya got here, Shadow!”

The black hedgehog walked in as well and took off his coat. “Glad you think so. I’m pleased with it myself. Here, I’ll throw your jacket in the dryer.” Sonic handed him the drenched jacket and smiled widely.

”I wish my placed was like this. But uh..” he said scratching the back of his head, “I’m not so motivated when it comes to cleaning up.” Shadow gave him a ‘I noticed’ look before disappearing into the next room. Sonic strolled around, poking and prodding things of interest when he noticed that brand new TV Shadow was talking about. “Holy cow!” Sonic gasped, “It’s huge!”

Shadow walked in the room somewhat quietly and noticed Sonic’s attempts to admire the piece of hardware from different angles. He noticed immediately the sight of the blue hedgehog’s tail swishing back and forth. Although the spectacle was pleasing to the eye, it did little to calm his apprehension.

”Shads!” Sonic shouted, turning suddenly and greeted with the black hedgehog being unusually close to him. “Whoa! Heh heh! When do we get to fire up this baby, huh?”

”Hmm… we could now. Have a seat.” Shadow said as he got the TV and Xbox ready. Sonic had set his headset aside and synced up his controller.

”Let’s play some co-op first. There’s way too many brats on Live at this hour, anyway.” Sonic snickered. Shadow plopped down next to him and smiled; he was right. Before he knew it they had been playing for a few hours and there was no sign of the action letting up. “Damn, Shadow. Didja have to put it on the hardest mode? I keep getting my ass kicked.”

Shadow snickered and clicked away at his controller, “Aww, I’m sorry! I thought you were used to that already?”

”You gonna be that way, man? Fine! Let’s see who comes to save your ass when the Elites come gunning for you!” Sonic smirked the same competitive way as usual and laughed at every great in-game feat of his. Shadow was having a tough time with the game with all the thoughts on his mind, but he was still enjoying Sonic’s company.

When it was all over they sat back and turned on the cable feed. “Yo you got any food?” Sonic said, looking a little embarrassed for asking.

”Sure. Help yourself. No,wait… on second thought, I’ll make something. I don’t need you eating everything in sight.”

”Wow, thanks a lot.” Sonic huffed as he followed Shadow. He bumped into his back when the black hedgehog suddenly stopped in the middle of the trip. “Hey, man! What’s the big deal?” he laughed a little.

Shadow turned around and looked at him right in the eye. “Maybe this isn’t such a good idea.”

”Huh? Eating?” Sonic asked, slightly confused.

”No. It isn’t that. Sonic, I have to admit I feel kind of guilty having you here like this.” Shadow said.

”Are you kidding? I’m having loads of fun. What’s up…? Nothing’s going on is there?” Sonic asked, tilting his head in concern. He was pretty sharp when he wanted to be. And that look of concern was getting Shadow nervous.

”Well… sort of… Sonic.” Shadow finally answered. “I’ve got something on my chest that’s been weighing me down for a long time… but I haven’t been able to tell anyone about it.” Sonic was staring at him hard, trying to figure out what he was trying to say. “I invited you over because… well… I want to tell you about it.”

”Wow… I don’t know what to say, Shads.” He said with a slight smile. “I’m glad you trust me enough to tell me.”

Shadow stared at him for a long time, trying to think of a way to tell him. It wasn’t as easy as television or books made it sound to confess to someone that you love them. It’s even worse when you know the possibilities of it going well are a million to one. Considering this was Sonic the Hedgehog, it only meant he was more than able to run away that much faster.

“Sonic… when I first met you and your friends my life was a real wreck. We all have gone through a lot since then, and I may or may not have had to go through even more just to come to terns with my past and what it meant in my life. But there was something else going on that I couldn’t explain or come to terms with until right now. It’s the only thing I have to left to confront.”

Sonic was listening intently to what he was saying. He knew that when Shadow had something to talk about it was always something very serious. His life really was like a train wreck and he knew that if he didn’t listen to what Shadow had to say, no one else would. The fact that he was comfortable telling Sonic spoke volumes too.

”It’s been five years since I realized something inside me had changed,” Shadow continued, “… and that would be the feelings I had… for you.” Shadow looked up at Sonic and stared right into his eyes. What bit of color Sonic had in his face seemed to have disappeared and the look of shock was settling in. “I’m in love with you, Sonic. I have been for a very long time… I just didn’t have what it took to tell you…”

CHAPTER THREE



It’s not every day that your gay, ex enemy confesses their love for you. But considering the circumstances Sonic was reacting well. He stood there staring at Shadow in disbelief with his mouth hanging open slightly. He was shocked to say the least, somewhat confused, and also feeling inquisitive.

“So…” Sonic grunted before clearing his throat, “You’re telling me… that… pretty much you’ve been… dealing with this…” It was obvious the blue hedgehog was trying to figure out how to word things as they were coming out of his mouth. “Even when I was…?”

Shadow nodded. That’s all he got out of it.

“Wow…” Sonic said, looking down at the floor. He scratched his right ear and thought about all those times Shadow helped him out. He felt pretty low and hurt and the person who always seemed to help him get back on his feet was Shadow. The only difference was that Sonic always thought it was out of pity, definitely not love.

“Look… I understand if you’re feeling uncomfortable right now—“ Shadow began before being interrupted.

“Well, well, well… the Ultimate Lifeform has fallen in love with a faker!” Sonic stood there smirking with his arms crossed, staring right at him. “You know, Shads, I’m never gonna let ya live this down!”

Shadow looked up at him with red cheeks, confused and somewhat annoyed at his snickering. “W-What’s so funny?” He couldn’t believe Sonic was laughing at his feelings like that.

”Ah, nothin’ really… just the fact that all this time you’ve been so damn sarcastic and moody with me… when all this time you’ve been pining for me!” Sonic said with a wink. Shadow looked off to the side, feeling somewhat frustrated. Was he being serious or did he think this was some kind of joke? Maybe five minutes ago Shadow would have admitted it was one of the qualities he loved most about Sonic. But now he just hated him for it.

It was at that moment that old cantankerous spark suddenly flared up deep inside the black hedgehog. “It isn’t funny!” he growled, “I mean it, Sonic!”

“Whoa! Calm down, Shads!” Sonic smiled. “I wasn’t making fun of ya.”

Shadow didn’t say anything. Instead he turned around feeling completely confused and had not a single clue what to do or say next. He was about to turn around and give that blue hedgehog a piece of his mind when he felt a pair of arms slide around his stomach. He felt a warm flush to his cheeks when he felt Sonic resting his head against his shoulder.

”Thanks, Shadow.”

The Ultimate Lifeform was for once in his life feeling completely helpless; not to mention the increasing degree of confusion and light-headedness he was experiencing. When Sonic’s arms let loose he turned back around to face him.

“Even if this is… well… really awkward…” Sonic began with a nervous smile, “I can’t help but feel like it was the most genuine thing I’ve ever heard you say. I really don’t know what to say, Shadow.” Those emerald eyes of him were as confident as ever, even if Shadow’s struggled to maintain their hold on them. “Although I have to admit… it’ll take some time getting used to the idea of a rabid fanboy.”

Shadow frowned a little. “Aw, c’mon Shads! Lighten up.” Sonic smiled. Shadow sighed heavily.

”So what are you saying, huh?” he couldn’t help but feel disappointment, “That I’m going to end up like Amy?”

“No way! Mostly because you don’t, you know… chase me around with hammers and stuff.” He continued, “But also because… I’m willing to give this a chance.”

”W-What..?” Shadow was the shocked one this time, “Why..? I thought...”

“I’ll be honest with ya, Shads. I was kind of hoping for someone to come along and offer me a nice long term relationship. I just didn’t want to end up like I did last time, ya know?” Shadow was looking at him with a hopeful expression. “And considering how you’ve probably been hurt just as much as I have by all this… I figured you deserve a chance more than anyone.”

“So it’s pity then?” Shadow asked.

“No… of course not. Stop being so testy. Yeesh!” Sonic smiled and waved a hand. “If you’ve been in love with me as long as you say… I’d say we’re off to a good start.”

Shadow stayed quiet for a while. “You mean that?”

“Hey, when have I ever lied to you?” Sonic asked with a wink.

For both of them, that was a question easily answered.

CHAPTER FOUR



The next few days felt extremely awkward to Sonic but it wasn’t anything he couldn’t adapt to eventually. He spent more time at Shadow’s place since he refused to stay in that mess of an apartment Sonic owned. Sonic thanked the heavens nothing physical had happened between the two; he was a ball of nerves as far as that was concerned.

Shadow on the other hand was feeling like he was lighter than air; that he could do just about anything. Having Sonic around as more than just a visitor was something he had dreamed about forever, it seemed. The continuing rain was also a nice excuse for him to stay there most of the days. He still hadn’t spent the night; but that wasn’t such a big deal at the moment.

Sonic was busy watching the news when he felt Shadow leap over the back of the couch and land next to him, causing him to be bounced up into the air. “Whoa! Easy there!” Sonic laughed.

”Got some of that caramel popcorn you like.” Shadow snickered as he handed him the stripped box.

“Sweet!” Sonic opened it up and began enjoying it alongside Shadow, who had his own box. Shadow had already learned that whatever they shared, Sonic got the majority of it while he was stuck with the petty amount left over. “Man, I love this stuff! You’re the best!”

“I know. About time you admit it.” Shadow smirked.

”Don’t be a smart ass, Shadow.” He said with a stuffed mouth. The hero let out an awkward squack of surprise as he felt Shadow lean over and plant a kiss on his cheek.

”I think a nice ‘thank you’ would be in order?” Shadow purred a little.

By that time Sonic was already completely red. He’d never been kissed by a guy before, let alone heard Shadow purring. “E-Ermm…. Thanks, Shads?” He managed to say, turning his head to look at him. No doubt, there was some serious tension going on at that moment in time. Shadow was itching to see how much he could get away with. The black hedgehog was yearning for the feel of those lips of his.

Sonic on the other hand was having a more difficult time with the whole thing. Sure, Shadow already knew he was gay; but Sonic didn’t. Yet somewhere deep down he was curious about how it would feel like to kiss him. It was only a few inches… maybe he could manage it. Unfortunately his brain signals weren’t working; his body was refusing to move.

So Shadow had to do the work for him.

First kisses are always an awkward moment; and even though this wasn’t Sonic’s first kiss ever, it was his first kiss with Shadow. All he could think about was how gentle it was and how soft Shadow’s lips were; not nearly as soft as a woman’s, of course. But they had an odd masculinity to them that he wasn’t used to.

It was more like a dream come true in Shadow’s head; his main thought at that moment in time was just to put as much love into it as he could. Maybe somehow it would impress Sonic? He certainly hoped it would. He was having so much fun that it pained him when he released his lock on Sonic’s lips. To his surprise, he felt Sonic’s lips coming back for more.

By that time Sonic and Shadow had both dropped their tasty treats in an effort to explore their newfound sensation. Shadow was feeling like his chest was going to burst, and Sonic was just plain excited at the prospect of learning something about himself; as always. The blue hedgehog was intent on exploring this new emotion between them that was released by a simple kiss. He continued the kiss, each of them only pulling away for a quick breath of air before lunging back in for more action.

They were both in a heated battle of tongues when Sonic felt a rough jab to his stomach. He pulled away and let out an unintentional moan as Shadow began kissing his neck. Again he felt the intrusive sensation and looked down to investigate. He kind of wished he hadn’t.

”Shadow..!?” Sonic yelled so loud Shadow thought he must have hurt him somehow. When Shadow looked at Sonic his face was even redder than before. Then, just to make sure Sonic was alright, he looked down to see what the problem was and saw that he had grown completely erect; most likely in the midst of all that making out.

Not even ten seconds later Sonic sat there on the couch, completely embarrassed to say the least, and heard Shadow hurriedly shut a door someplace down the hall. The hero sat there almost in a daze, thinking about all that just happened while Shadow leaned back against the bathroom door.

“Shit.” Shadow panted, completely embarrassed and ashamed at his lack of self control. He’d never felt like that before in his life; even when he had tried to before. His head leaned back and hit the door with a light thud. This just couldn’t get any worse, could it?

CHAPTER FIVE


A few minutes passed before Shadow came back into the room. He was still somewhat flushed in the face and had an odd mixture of emotion in his face. Almost like he was sick and annoyed at the same time, or something; Sonic couldn’t quite put a finger on it. He sat back down next to Sonic without saying a word or looking at him. It took him a little while before he did, too.

When Shadow managed the courage to look over, he saw Sonic leaning back comfortably against the armrest, his hands behind his head and his eyes half lidded. A sarcastic smirk was on his face as he waited for Shadow to speak up. “What’s that look for?” Shadow asked gruffly.

“Shadow…” Sonic began, moving his arms back in front of him as he leaned forward and rested his hands on his knees. Shadow was ready for something smart to come out of his mouth. “Don’t look so embarrassed. It’s no surprised you couldn’t control yourself when I’m in the room.” He said with a wink.

“Somehow I knew you were going to be a smartass about this, Sonic.” Shadow grunted.

“So eh…” Sonic put an arm around Shadow and said with a wink, “I see you took care of the problem.”

Shadow leaned back and inch or two quickly, red racing across his cheeks again. He really did hate that. “How… how dare you!” he stuttered, “I did no such thing!”

“Whoa! Easy, Shadow! Did what? I didn’t say anything. Looks like someone here’s got a guilty conscience!” Sonic snickered and poked him on the side.

Shadow grunted and turned his head the other direction. “Hmph.”

“Oh, come on. I’m sorry, alright?” Sonic laughed, “Don’t be pissy! I’ll stop picking on ya.” Shadow looked at him for a few seconds and nodded in response. “Good. Now how about we watch a movie and unwind? I brought some cool stuff from home.”

”Sounds like a plan.” Shadow said, relaxing himself. He watched Sonic put a movie into the Xbox and turn it on. When he returned he sat close to Shadow and put his arm back around him with a wink. “I’ll protect ya if the movie gets too scary!”

”One of these days I’m going to hurt you.” Shadow said dryly. Sonic laughed loudly and planted a light kiss on his cheek. Even if Shadow still had that angry look on his face, the blush he had completely blew his cover. “You really need to lighten up, Shads.”

About halfway into the movie the two of them began kissing all over again, although neither of them really knew how it had happened. One minute Shadow was watching the movie, then the next he’d feel a light kiss to his temple or cheek. He playfully ignored him for awhile before Sonic started nibbling at his ears. From then on it was free game.

The feel of it was definitely different from last time. It was more eager; definitely more passionate. Sonic was enjoying it in spite of his initial feelings about being with Shadow. Sonic let out a playful chuckle into Shadow’s ear. “I hope you don’t mind if I stay over tonight?”

A flutter could be felt deep in Shadow’s chest as he looked into Sonic’s eyes. “Now that I think about it…” Sonic purred with a slick lick to his lips, “It is pretty late, Shads. We should be getting to bed.” Shadow closed his eyes and nearly fainted, sighing as Sonic kissed him again.

“Alright…” Shadow said to him, “Follow me, then.” Sonic grinned and helped clean up the room a bit, although he did a pretty poor job at it. Shadow walked past the kitchen into a small hallway, passing the bathroom on the way to his room. Sonic looked around once the light came on and saw Shadow’s bedroom for the first time. The first thing he noticed the bed, but not for reasons Shadow might have expected. The bed itself was strange, to say the least. It was floor-level and looked like it was sunk in a wooden box.

“Hey that’s kinda cool! At least you don’t have to kill yourself climbing into it.” Sonic snickered as he looked around. There was a walk-in closet that was pretty much bare, along with a wooden desk next to the bed and a smaller TV. He turned around and saw Shadow pulling off his shoes and gloves, then he left them neatly by the door. Sonic grinned and kicked them off haphazardly into the same general area, much to Shadow’s obvious annoyance.

“I hope you don’t mind… but I like it very cold when I sleep.” Shadow said as he flipped on the switch to his fan. He crawled into bed and nearly fell off when Sonic leaped in as well. “What the hell, Sonic!” Shadow growled.

“Don’t worry about me being cold or anything, Shads. You can always keep me warm, huh?” Sonic said as he got close to him under the sheets. Shadow slowly cracked a smile.

“Sure. Anything for you, Sonic.” He said with a hand on Sonic’s cheek. It was a gesture Sonic was a little embarrassed about as Shadow pulled him into a kiss. They couldn’t seem to stop once they had started; or maybe they didn’t want to stop at all. The heat and intensity of the moment was so much they ended up kicking off the bed sheet.

“Shadow…” Sonic purred as his neck was kissed and bitten gently. He didn’t take much more of the teasing before locking lips with Shadow again, their tongues beginning to explore each other’s mouths. Sonic was a really good kisser, Shadow thought to himself while exploring every inch of his silky smooth fur.

Both of them could feel themselves getting hot and neither one of them wanted to stop; that is until Shadow pulled away from him panting for air. “W-Wait…”

“Aw, Shads..!” Sonic whined, continuing to kiss his lips, “C’mon what’s the hold up?”

“I… we… we don’t have…” Shadow began, his cheeks red from the heat of the moment, but also because Sonic was so insistent.

“What..?” Sonic finally asked, pulling away as well. Shadow wanted to shoot himself for not having the foresight to buy some lubricants; or even hand cream for that matter. Sonic saw the look on his face and knew what he was getting at. “Oh I see… well how about that present I got for ya, huh? Don’t tell me ya threw it away?” he snickered as he ran his fingers through Shadow’s white tuft of chest fur.

”Present..?” Shadow asked.

”You know… the one I got for your birthday?” Sonic purred as he nibbled on Shadow’s neck.

Shadow gasped lightly, “I… I never opened it.”

”What? Man Shadow, way to ruin the moment.” Sonic snickered, “Where is it?”

Shadow got on his knees and grabbed around on his desk until he found it. “Here it is… right where I left it.”

”Well what are ya waiting for? Open it up!”

At that point Shadow began to feel a bit nervous, but he did the nice thing and opened it. Inside was a small letter.

”You can read it aloud if ya want, Shads!” Sonic purred and winked at him.

Shadow smirked and playfully shoved him as he opened up the letter and read it aloud. “Hey Shadow! I figured it was a reckless thing of me to do, you know, giving you all that Viagra with no way to protect yourself. Don’t need you going haywire with the stuff; so I got you these! And hey, it’s all lubed and ready to go when you find that special old lady! Happy Millionth Birthday, old man!”

Shadow snickered a bit. “Jerk!” he said as he looked; it was a box of condoms. “You know, I was never this cruel to you, Sonic!”

“Aw come on… you know I thrive on making your life miserable.” Sonic began nibbling on Shadow and pulled him back down onto the bed. Shadow let out a surprised gasp when he felt Sonic’s hands between his legs stroking and playing around where they didn’t belong.

“Oh, damn..” Shadow sighed as he made out with him, “What are you up to, huh?”

Sonic hummed into his mouth, stroking Shadow until he felt him growing harder. “Getting you ready…” he purred into his lips and took the box away from him. He opened it and grabbed one, making easy work of the wrapper.

Shadow was blushing furiously as Sonic rolled it onto his hardened length. “Now.” He heard sonic say, “No more interruptions, ok?” The blue hedgehog began making out with him again, this time with the full intention of them going all the way. Shadow was pleased with his effort to say the least.

The hero was lightly rolled onto his back, sighing in pleasure and Shadow’s fingers tugged and pulled at his most sensitive area. He was enjoying himself so much he began calling out Shadow’s name; and he loved how easily it rolled off his tongue. It felt natural to him.

Sonic was in the middle of some kind of fantasy world when his eyes shot open. He felt an odd penetrating force down below that was definitely not what he was used to. He looked down and saw Shadow’s head between his legs and the sensation of something slick and warm entering him. “Oh, Shadow…!” he gasped, his face becoming red. Never in his life would he have imagined Shadow’s tongue licking him in that place.

A rumbling purr escaped Shadow’s lips as he wetted the blue hedgehog’s now quivering entrance. He began lapping at it, getting it covered in a nice thick layer of his own saliva before letting his tongue slide inside Sonic and coat him up there as well. Sonic was moaning out in unfamiliar bliss as he felt Shadow’s tongue invade him, although he felt increasingly more nervous.

”That’s good…” Shadow purred as he sat up on his haunches, “Just relax.” Sonic let out a long moan when he felt Shadow’s finger push inside him, eventually feeling a second slide in. He had no idea what Shadow was up to, but he was loving it; whatever it was. Before he knew it his partner had stopped and was hovering over him with a loving smile.

”You ready, faker?” Shadow purred lovingly, rubbing his belly with care.

”Ready as I’ll ever be!” Sonic said as Shadow positioned himself. He reached up and grabbed onto his shoulders, letting out an awkward grunt as Shadow pushed inside him. “Holy… shit…!” Sonic cursed, one eye squinted shut as the other looked down to see what the hell had been shoved inside him.

A low purr filled his ears. “Something wrong?” Shadow asked.

Sonic shook his head. “Don’t worry about me.” All he could do was give him crooked smile and an odd expression.

”Don’t worry, handsome.” Shadow purred a bit, “It’ll pass.”

Luckily for Sonic it did pass. It took a few thrusts, but he did begin to feel it. Something warm was building up inside him as he clung to Shadow’s shoulders and let out a series of grunts that made his partner smirk. With time Sonic found himself smirking, too.

Shadow rested his weight into his elbow, his body close to his lover’s as they lashed tongues. His free hand was wrapped around Sonic’s erection, stroking gently and in tune with every thrust. He loved how Sonic’s body continued to rebel against his intrusion, tightening around him so hard it felt like it was going to be strangled. His moaning became increasingly louder from the pleasure.

Sonic was crying out as well, one arm around Shadow’s neck and the other placed on Shadow’s chest. He ran his fingers through Shadow’s fur gently as he tasted Shadow’s lips, his hunger for them never ceasing through the entire event. He curled his legs around Shadow in an effort to keep him close when he realized that Shadow was getting deeper.

The hero let out a shiver as he felt Shadow shifting inside him. Sonic leaned his head back and began moaning blissfully as Shadow’s lips sucked on his neck and chest. Their lovemaking continued to be a learning experience for the both of them; Sonic was learning just where to touch Shadow to get the most desired reaction from him, while Shadow found the perfect pace and power to pleasure Sonic.

”Oh god…” Sonic panted as he watched Shadow’s hand working him perfectly. Shadow, however, was more interested in the hot white liquid beginning to seep out of his blue lover. He gently gathered a good bit of it on his finger and sucked it clean off, all the while giving Sonic the most sadistic, passionate look he had ever seen on Shadow’s face. It sent a shiver down his spine just seeing it.

Within minutes Sonic felt like he was going to burst inside. He knew it was coming, and so did Shadow. He just didn’t expect it to be so soon. Shadow felt a hot splash hit him right on the stomach and chest and saw a bit fall onto Sonic’s stomach as Sonic cried out from a powerful orgasm ripping through his body. Shadow got an unmistakable satisfaction watching the emotions of Sonic’s face as he came, and he continued trusting gently until he too was flooded with pleasure.

The two of them were both frozen for a minute or so afterwards, panting and moaning. Sonic was sprawled out under Shadow, his arms plopped down to his sides and his legs just barely able to stay around Shadow. His lover was still deep inside him, his hands placed firmly in the sheets on either side of Sonic’s limp body. A slight grunt escaped Sonic’s lips as he pulled out and fell down next to him in the bed and pulled off the used up condom.

Sonic curled up next to him with his head resting on Shadow’s shoulder, his stomach up against Shadow’s right side. He scratched at his chest for a few seconds before letting out a long sigh of relief. “That… was intense.” Sonic finally managed. Shadow couldn’t quite respond. He was so happy and exhausted that he didn’t know just what to say. Sonic propped himself up on an elbow and noticed the smile on his face. Different from the one before; different from any smile he had ever seen on Shadow’s face, now that he thought about it.

”You didn’t have a heart attack, did ya Shads?” He snickered lightly as he leaned over and kissed him.

”No…I think I’ll be alright.” Shadow sighed.

Sonic was quiet for a while as he settled back down next to Shadow. “Hey… Shadow…?” Sonic asked quietly.

”Mmhmm?” Shadow hummed.

“I’m sorry…” he said, still messing with that chest fur of Shadows. Sonic was beginning to think he was obsessed with it.

“About what, handsome?” Shadow asked, sliding an arm underneath him so he could pull him closer.

“I uh…” Sonic began, feeling slightly foolish saying it, “If I had known you would come along… I would have wanted to have you as my first lover.”

Shadow smiled at him and purred loudly. “You may not have been a virgin in certain ways… but you definitely were back here!” Sonic let out a high pitched screech as Shadow slapped his hand down onto his butt and squeezed it.

”H-Hey!” Sonic stammered with a red face, “What’s the big idea, huh?!”

The blushing hedgehog was silenced with a finger to his lips. “Shh… you’ll get used to it.” Shadow purred playfully.

CHAPTER SIX


Sonic could not have asked for a better lover or friend when it came to Shadow. Some days he would wake up to see Shadow sleeping and think to himself that he was the luckiest hedgehog on earth. This day was no different to Sonic.

“Wake up, Shads!” Sonic said to him gently nudging him out of his sleep.

“Huh?” Shadow grunted, using a hand to rub his eye. “What..?”

“It’s already noon, Shadow. We’re burning daylight, here!” Sonic crawled over him and straddled Shadow’s stomach with his hands firmly against his hips. “You know how much I like going outside. So hurry it up, will ya?”

Shadow was glaring at him with half-lidded eyes. “Haven’t you ever heard of rest on a Sunday? That’s what everyone else on this planet seems to get!” Shadow covered his head with Sonic’s pillow lazily.

“Shadow!” Sonic whined to him, “You’re really lazy, you know that? I’ll go on ahead without you!” Sonic warned him, pulling the pillow away.

“Alright…!” Shadow groaned, “I get it, alright?”

“Sweet! I’ll be in the kitchen.” Sonic said as he hopped off him, earning another grunt from Shadow.

“I don’t know how he does it.” Shadow said to himself while staring at the ceiling. He sat up slowly and yawned, stretching his arms out high above him before crawling out of bed. While he was busy Sonic was in the kitchen looking for something to eat. Unfortunately the only breakfast type food he found was a few boxes of pop tarts.

Sonic turned to Shadow as he entered the kitchen and gave him a look. “What?” Shadow asked plainly as he opened a pack of pop tarts for himself and ate it.

“You got a month supplies’ worth of pop tarts… but you don’t own a toaster? How can you eat them like that?”

Shadow shrugged and turned to leave but suddenly turned back around. “Whoa. What the hell is that?”

“What the hell is what?” Sonic asked.

“I don’t know… there’s something… here open your mouth for a sec? I think you got something stuck..?” Shadow said, trying to inspect the hedgehog’s mouth. Once Sonic complied he shoved a pop tart in his mouth. “Shut up and eat it.”

Sonic shot him a glare and bit into it. “See? It isn’t so bad now is it?” Shadow asked.

“Huh…” Sonic hummed, “I guess you’re right! But Shadow? You need to get a toaster. Otherwise, how else are you going to you know… toast things?”

Shadow smiled and planted a kiss on his cheek. “Seriously, if you’re that worried about it, I’ll buy a toaster. Now let’s get out of here.”

“Great. I was thinking you and I could go to the Mystic Ruins. Have a few races, get a little jungle fe-vah?” Sonic grinned wildly and danced around Shadow, “So what do ya say, Shads?”

“How can I refuse a race?” Shadow grinned, “You wont win this time.”

“We’ll see. It ain’t over till it’s over!”

With that, Sonic and Shadow walked down to the train station at the beachfront of Station Square, all the while trying to shove each other off the sidewalk playfully. “Hey, faker. Don’t hurt yourself acting like that!” Shadow snickered as he shoved at him.

“You’re right! I wouldn’t wanna give you heart attack from all the strain, old man!” Sonic shot back with a punch to his shoulder. Their behavior only ceased once they were inside the station so they could get a good seat inside. It was another one of those days with the carts being tightly packed with tourists. Sonic didn’t really mind since it gave him an excuse to stand closely to Shadow.

Both managed to find a spot in the back corner of the train car. Shadow had his back to the steel frame while Sonic stood in front of him. He had a good bit of room since no one was willing to push up against his spinney backside. “Oh, wow.”

“What’s wrong?” Shadow asked.

“Ah nothin’. You’re jes lookin’ pretty hot today, that’s all.”

“Thank you, Sonic.” Shadow smiled from the compliment. Sonic moved closer to him and slid a hand onto Shadow’s lower back right before leaning in and kissing him on the lips. “Hey.” Shadow purred, “Where did that come from?”

“Oh come on! You always kiss me in public for no reason. Besides… don’t ya think it’s a good way to pass time?” Sonic purred in response.

“Well... I suppose it is.” Shadow snickered lovingly, getting his arms around Sonic’s neck as the two of them began kissing. Most of the passengers weren’t paying attention on the account that they were so short, but they were being watched.

“God, I’m so in love with you...” Shadow sighed into the union, completely in a daze from Sonic’s expertise in the art of kissing.

“I love you too, Shads.” Sonic purred, caressing his dark lover in a warm embrace. The phrase hadn’t actually come out of his mouth before, but he was surprised how good it felt to say it. Sure he had always let Shadow know he did before, but this just ended that one last nagging question in the back of Shadow’s mind.

“You mean that, faker?” Shadow purred back, nibbling on his lover’s lips.

“You know it.” Sonic responded, gazing at him with half opened eyes. A sharp gasp escaped Shadow as Sonic began to use his finger to tease the sensitive opening just under his thick wagging tail.

“Sonic!” Shadow stuttered slightly, “What…what are you doing?” he gasped in a half-whisper.

“Relax, babe. I got ya.” Sonic quieted him with another loving kiss to the lips, spending the next few minutes of the trip teasing him in unexpected ways. Sonic moved close to him and kissed his cheek in an effort to hide Shadow’s erect member from the rest of the passengers. With one arm holding Shadow close, Sonic began stroking him nice and slow, causing the black hedgehog to lose control.

“S-Sonic…” Shadow managed to whisper, only to be shushed by Sonic. He grunted and looked around, noticing one or two people looking on in curiosity. “They’re watching…!”

Sonic only grinned in response, using his finger to tease Shadow to newer heights. “Oh god…” Shadow stammered, holding onto Sonic tightly, “P-Please stop… I.. I’m going to come…”

“What..? No relief for my Shadow? Not on my watch.” He purred as he turned around to make sure no one is watching. “Go ahead.”

“Oh.. fuck!” Shadow whispered loudly at Sonic, who was already on his way down. “You’re insane!” Shadow’s eyes darted around to look for any onlookers and lost all nerve when he felt Sonic wrap his lips around his erection. “God…” he grunted, sweat dripping down the side of his face. One of the passengers backed up a bit and blocked the two completely from view, and Shadow thanked the heavens for the opportunity.

Sonic felt Shadow’s hands rest on his head and he let out a long purr. Shadow let out a muffled moan and slowly moved his hips in pleasure, enjoying it for as long as he could when he felt an orgasm shoot through every nerve of his body. He threw his head back and gritted his teeth, the only sound out of him being a barely audible grunt.

Before he realized it, Sonic was back on his feet. He patted Shadow on the cheek as the black hedgehog opened his eyes lazily. “Not too bad.” Sonic grinned, “I might have a little more of that later.”

“I’m going to punch you next time you pull something like that!” Shadow managed to say.

“What? You didn’t have fun?” Sonic asked with a kiss to his cheek.

“That isn’t the point, you crazy ass.” Shadow growled slightly, trying not to look so embarrassed.

“Alright, alright. Whatever you say, Shads.” Sonic grinned and turned back around as if nothing had happened. By the time they got to the Mystic Ruins, it was already the perfect temperature outside. Shadow was just glad to get off the train in one piece.

“Tails’ place is right over there, the ancient echidna temple is that-a-way, and the mountains are just through that gigantic hole in the wall.” Sonic pointed out.

“Huh… how about we head over and say hello to Tails? I’m sure you haven’t seen him in a while?”

“Perfect. I was thinking the same thing!” Sonic began strolling off in the direction when he felt a hard whip to his butt. “Whoa!” he shouted as he spun around, shielding himself from any other attacks, “What the hell, Shadow!”

“That’s for molesting me. You pervert.” Shadow said to him, trying to keep a straight face.

“I’m going to get you for that.” Sonic promised with half-lidded eyes and a scowl.

Without much else, the two walked down the stairs and into the soft grassy area before making their way to Tails’ shop. By that time they were already into another playful mood, promising all kinds of revenge to each other for transgressions passed.

When they walked to the door Sonic barged right in like he owned the place and shouted, “Tails! Where are ya, man?”

The two of them heard the pattering of footsteps from upstairs and before they knew it, Tails practically flew down the stairs to meet them.

“Sonic! Shadow!” he said, giving Sonic a quick hug, “What brings you down here?”

“Actually, me and Shadow are going to be racing down in the jungle.”

”That’s great.” Tails said as he looked over at Shadow. “You know, I never got to thank you for your help with my Tornado II!” he grinned wildly and shook Shadow’s hand.

“Don’t mention it, Tails.” He smiled back, “Think of it as a thank you for all the times you help me out.”

“Wait a minute.” Sonic said, waving his hands in the air, “You helped Tails fix something? Weird!”

“Not like that, Sonic.” Tails explained, “He sent me some money so I could buy the stuff I needed to repair the Tornado II. It was so cool! A bunch of G.U.N. officers showed up to give it to me. They also saw my work and said they’d pay me for technical advice.”

“Sounds like a pretty sweet deal, Tails!” Sonic gave him a thumbs-up.

“So after you two are done, you wanna go snowboarding? It’ll cool you off, that’s for sure!” Tails suggested.

“I wouldn’t mind that. Any objections, Sonic?” Shadow asked.

“Yeah, right. I’m all for it.” Sonic grinned.

“Just come get me before you two head out. I need to finish up something upstairs.”

Sonic nodded and agreed to be back before it was dark. When they left, Sonic ran out into a sandy patch and began stretching out his legs. “You are so screwed!” he snickered at Shadow.

Shadow smirked and quoted Sonic sarcastically, “We’ll see.”

“You know, just for that I’m gonna give you a head start and then beat you!” Sonic stood up and grinned that competitive way Shadow loved.

“I don’t need your pity! Let’s get going.”

CHAPTER ONE



The cart ride to didn’t take long, although Shadow would have preferred to run there himself. Unfortunately it was the only way to get to the jungle area. Maybe after a few races they could check out the temple together. “So you ready to race or what?” Sonic asked him suddenly, snapping Shadow out of his thoughts.

“I’d love to.” Shadow said with a grin of his own. It was so nice to have someone like Sonic to keep his mind sharp. Only he could get away with challenging him.

“Great… this is how it’s gonna go down.” Sonic explained the course in detail since he knew the area pretty well. “If you manage to find a shortcut, go ahead and take it. The race ends by the old Egg Carrier crash site.”

Shadow nodded in agreement to the terms and poised himself for the race. It began without a single word, the two hedgehogs tearing through the jungle at incredible speeds. The leaped, slid, vaulted and ripped through the foliage to get to their destination. Sonic was feeling lucky; he knew the area well enough to find the shortest distance. When he finally arrived at the crash site, Shadow was already there with a smug expression on his face.

“How did you do that?” Sonic asked, scratching his head in confusion.

“That’s my secret.” Shadow purred.

“Oh come on… you didn’t chaos control did you?” Sonic asked with an annoyed expression.

“I’m not cheating. Honest!” Shadow said, “Don’t be a sore loser.”

“Ok ok. But you better not be trying anything funny for the next round! We’re headed to over in that direction.” Sonic began to explain where the course would end; it was near cave of sandy rock. Shadow nodded and gave him a wink before the two began their race; it went on like that for a few hours. Words were exchanged and bets were made, but most of the time the outcome was as same as the first.

“Man, there must be something wrong with me today.” Sonic said as he sat on the huge pillar atop the temple, overlooking the whole area. His legs dangled lazily over the edge as he looked over at Shadow.

“It’s not like it’s any surprise. I am very intent on beating you.” Shadow replied as he leaned back onto his palms. He gave Sonic a nudge and made him laugh a little, “It’s not so bad, though. Right?”

“All I have to say is that I’m glad its you and no one else!” Sonic grinned.

Shadow smirked at his love and said, “Don’t worry, Sonic. I wont tell anyone.”

“Wow, thanks.” Sonic said sarcastically. “I hope you don’t let this go to your head. After all, I won a few times!”

“Of course not.” Shadow promised. The two of them leaned over for a quick kiss.

“You seriously need to stop doing that.” Sonic smiled and scooted closer to Shadow, one arm resting behind Shadow’s back.

“Doing what?” the black hedgehog asked.

“With all this attention you give me, I feel like I’m being spoiled rotten.” Sonic sighed lightly and smiled a little.

“Have you ever thought that maybe I was doing it on purpose?” Shadow asked him, the two of them nuzzling their foreheads together.

“No…” Sonic said, “But if you are that’s pretty damn nice of you.” The blue hedgehog purred and looked down at the greenery below. “You’re so good to me… I don’t know if I could ever really repay you.”

“That’s not necessary, handsome.” Shadow said with a kiss to the soft patch of fur inside his left ear.

“H-Hey! That’s tickling me, man.” Sonic whined, pulling away.

“Oh yeah? I’ve got to remember that.” Was his purring response as Shadow’s hand pressed firmly against Sonic’s chest. He pushed him onto his back against the ancient stone platform and layed next to him lazily. “Here’s to a job well done.”

“Huh?” Sonic asked, slightly confused as he felt one of Shadow’s hands petting his stomach and rubbing it thoroughly. His self control was all but spent within seconds of feeling those fingers running through his thick coat of russet fur. “Ahhhh… yeah…” Sonic sighed, instantly stretching out his body and falling back limply. The purring coming out of him was beginning to make Shadow laugh.

“Damn Sonic… if I didn’t know any better, I’d say your acting more like a kitten than a hedgehog.” Shadow purred and continued to give him a well-earned belly rub. He wasn’t getting any kind of response from Sonic that made any sense. By the time it had ended, it took a few minutes more for Sonic to come out of his daze.

“Man, I needed that.” He let out a heavy sigh as he grinned up into the clouds. “You really know how to use those hands of yours.”

“Well I try.” Shadow responded as he sat back up. He did so just in time to hear his phone chirping. Sonic sat up and looked at him with a confused expression as he answered the phone.

“Hey Rouge!” Shadow greeted, giving Sonic a ‘it’s just her’ look before turning back around. “Yeah, I’m out with Sonic now. He wanted to race down here in the Mystic ruins.” Sonic couldn’t quite hear what she was asking him.

“No…” he gave Sonic a wink, “We haven’t quite gotten to that yet. Although… we definitely will when I tie him up to the bed, tonight.”

Sonic stared at him with a red face, looking somewhat angry and unsure whether or not he was being serious. Shadow reassured him by ruffling up the top of his head playfully.

“Rouge wants to talk to you, lover boy.” Shadow smirked as he held the phone up to him. Sonic snatched the phone and turned away from him with a huff.

“Sonic here!” he said lightly.

“Hi there, sugar! You know… I just wanted you to know how glad I am that you two are finally an item.” Rouge said to him.

“Well…” Sonic began, scratching his ear in embarrassment.

“Really, I am! You have no idea how long he’s been pining for you… you’ve really given him a new lease on life, you know? He just loves you to pieces!”

“Err… yeah, I know. I have to admit it wasn’t easy at first… but Shadow treats me better than anyone I’ve ever been with.” Sonic replied.

“Just between you and me, sugar,” she began, a sneaky tone already apparent in her voice, “He always had this little dream about you.”

“R… Really?” Sonic began, moving the phone to his other ear so Shadow wouldn’t be able to hear anything.

“Oh yes. I remember he said it was about you and him at the beach together. Maybe one of these days you could make his little dream come true?”

Sonic blushed a little at the idea. “Shadow had dreams about me?” Sonic thought to himself. “That… that sounds great.”

“You two have fun now, sweetie. And don’t let him gloat too much about beating you!” Sonic heard her kiss into the phone before hanging up.

“She really is something else.” Sonic smiled as he handed back the phone.

“If it weren’t for her I would have lost my mind years ago.” Shadow said as he shoved the phone away.

“So, you wanna head back to Tails’ place?” Sonic asked, stretching out his arms.

“Sure. No hot action in front of the kid though, alright? Don’t wanna scare him or something.” Shadow smirked as Sonic put an arm around his shoulders.

“Nah!” Sonic began with a wink, “Looks like we’ll have to get in what we can on the ride over, huh?”

CHAPTER EIGHT


Sonic and Shadow never seemed to realize how quickly days passed when they were together. They hardly went out and did the things they used to do before they met. Every once in a while they worked together to bring down Eggman’s machines. But instead of a night on the town with his fans, Sonic was more than pleased to go back home with Shadow and make love.

On one of these occasions, Shadow was surprised to learn that Sonic had planned something special for him. According to his blue boyfriend, it was for his help taking down the enemy. Shadow smiled and asked him what it was. “I’m taking you to the beach.” Sonic smiled widely.

“The beach?” Shadow blushed, “Really? That’s kind of odd, for you.”

“Why do you say that, Shads?” he asked with a grin.

“You told me you hate water.” Shadow replied, watching as Sonic reached into some shopping bags. Sonic had apparently went out to buy some beach-bum essentials.

“Yeah! I hate water cuz I can’t swim! But man I love the beach! So much running room… and with you there, I wont have to worry about floating away!” the blue hedgehog snickered, “Besides! Check this out!” Sonic rushed inside Shadow’s walk in closet as Shadow sat on the bed, confused. When he came out, his eyes nearly shot out of their sockets.

Shadow looked on as Sonic posed in the middle of the doorway with a tight pair of swimming trunks on, bright red like his shoes. He winked at him and said, “How’s it look? I hope you like it because I got you a pair, too!” Sonic walked toward him and gently pushed him down in the bed. “And just think..” Sonic purred at Shadow’s surprised expression, “This’ll look ten times sexier when I’m dripping wet.”

“Ahh… don’t tease me like that.” Shadow looked up at him and sighed, “I’m trying hard not to think of it when you’re already starting to put those images in my head.”

“Hey!” Sonic grinned down at him as he hovered over Shadow, tail wagging, “You would have just thought it anyway, once we get there tomorrow!”

“You’re probably right. I’m looking forward to it.” Shadow smiled at him and brushed back those ears of his. Sonic crawled up and went back into the walk in closet to get dressed. Shadow got up and dressed properly, running up to the land line in the kitchen as it began to ring.

“Hello?” Shadow asked. Sonic couldn’t really hear him, not that he was paying any attention. “Alright. I’ll be there tonight then.” He hung up the phone as Sonic walked in. He was immediately greeted with a light hug.

“Ready to go, babe?” Sonic asked. Shadow nodded and they left the house. “Hey I was thinking… you kinda hate going to my place and… I’m barely living there anymore… any chance we could move in together?”

Shadow looked over at him as they were walking down the street. “You mean officially? Sure… but don’t you still have a lease at your place?”

“Unfortunately,” the blue hedgehog groaned, “I’m officially stuck there for the next four months. Otherwise I gotta cough up fifteen hundred bucks.”

“Holy crap… well in that case, I think you should try to stick it out until then. And start cleaning up the place, for crying out loud.” Shadow replied with a smirk.

“Yeah, I know.” Sonic huffed. “I should try to stay over there a little more if I’m gonna be coughing up rent money.”

“We’ll worry about that later. Let’s get to enjoying ourselves until tomorrow!” Shadow said. The two of them spent the day hanging out with friends and generally causing trouble wherever they went. Often times the two hedgehogs would butt heads in the middle of the street, racing around like they owned thecity and causing all kinds of mayhem for the citizens. Not that it mattered; no one could tell what those streaks zipping by were.

When Shadow finally went home, he was only a little depressed when Sonic wasn’t there by his side. Sonic went back to his place to clean up and answer his messages, among other things before the big trip tomorrow. Shadow then realized he had forgotten completely about that phone call he had gotten.

“Ah, shit.” Shadow cursed to himself as he ran back out of his apartment. The black hedgehog was gone within seconds of locking up, making his way out to the outskirts of town.

***

Sonic woke up at eight o’clock the next morning, pumped and ready to go. He skipped his morning shower and grabbed his things excitedly. He couldn’t wait to see Shadow in those boxers he got him. He ran immediately to his place to wake up Shadow; or maybe he didn’t have to. Shadow was usually up before most people.

“Hey Shads!” Sonic cried out, roughly banging on his door. He stood there in his swimming attire, feeling slightly anxious to start the day. “Open up!” Sonic hit at the door again with his fists, then placed his ear against the door. He couldn’t really hear anything.

“What gives?” Sonic asked himself, scratching his ear in confusion. He thought maybe he might have gotten impatient and left for the beach already. “Ugh! So stubborn!” Sonic groaned as he ran off towards the Station Square Beachfront. When he got there it was relatively clear of visitors and tourists. That would make Shadow much easier to spot.

Unfortunately as the minutes and hours rolled on, there was no sign of Shadow anywhere. Sonic even made the effort to check back at his place a few times, trying to peek in windows for any sign of life. Frustrated and mostly disappointed, Sonic gave up around three o’clock and went home. After putting his things away reluctantly, he sat down and turned on the TV, coming to the sad realization that Shadow had stood him up. He decided to call Rouge and see if he was there; possibly drunk.

“No…” the bat answered him, “I haven’t seen him here at all.”

“Thanks Rouge. If you see him, please tell him to call me. I’m pretty pissed at him, so maybe he shouldn’t bother.” Sonic sighed and hung up the phone, watching the TV but apparently not paying any attention to what was on. When it was time for bed all he could think about was where Shadow could possibly be, and as a result, didn’t get much sleep at all.

***

By the time Shadow returned home he was feeling exhausted and his entire body was sore. The bandage on his lower left arm did little to ease the constant throbbing, and only served as a reason for his wound to itch even more. Shadow’s knees felt a bit stiff and his back felt like someone was squeezing his spine relentlessly. All he wanted to do now was sleep. He walked up to his door and was barely able to open it up because of his blurred vision. The next thing he really remembered was lying down and falling asleep.

Before Shadow realized what was going on, he heard loud knocking at his front door. His eyes shot open almost as fast as his body jumped out of bed. Quietly, the black hedgehog opened his drawer and got one of his old guns out and snuck over to the front door. It was already sunny out and his eyes were already used to the brightness. With a quick motion he had opened the door only slightly, gun ready to fire in order to see who was out.

“Shadow, what the hell!” Sonic growled, pushing the door open suddenly and forcing his way in, “Where the hell have you been!” Shadow let out a long sigh of relief and shut the door again, locking it quickly. Sonic noticed the gun in his hand and the condition of his body. “Shadow?”

“Don’t do that again, I almost shot you.” Shadow grumbled.

“Shadow, you’ve been gone a week!” Sonic glared, crossing his arms and tapping his foot, “You know, standing me up and then not having the decency to call and tell me where you are was a pretty shitty thing to do!”

“Oh.” Shadow replied. “I’m sorry…”

“Sorry doesn’t cut it!” Sonic said, glaring at him with fiery eyes.

“Let me rephrase that.” Shadow glared back while getting close, “I don’t answer to you. I had a job to do and I have to follow the rules. No! Contacts!”

“What job?” Sonic pushed his chest out and poked Shadow roughly, “Last time I checked, all you do is deal with crack-heads around Station Square. Don’t tell me that could take a whole damn week.”

“I wasn’t in Station Square. And don’t bother asking me where, because I cant tell you.”

“You have got to be kidding me.” Sonic said, relaxing slightly. “I don’t get it Shadow. Why couldn’t you just let me know?”

“First of all, I had no idea G.U.N. was going to send me out the other night. I showed up to get paid and the next thing I know, I’m being hauled off to deal with some kind of… well, never mind that. I had no choice. Anyone I contact during a mission is subject to life-threatening dangers.”

Sonic was still looking at him like he wanted to strangle him, but he didn’t say anything for a while. “Still… I was really excited about taking you to the beach.”

“Well why don’t we go now?” Shadow asked, trying to make peace with the angry blue hedgehog.

“We can’t. The beaches are already flooded with tourists and kids.” Sonic turned away from him. “That’s why I wanted to go when I did.”

“Oh come on. There’s thousands of miles of coastline in the world, Sonic. There’s got to be someplace I could make it up to you.”

Sonic turned back to look at him with a wide grin on his face, “I like the way you think! You owe me a whole week, Shads!”

“Agreed. But…” Shadow continued, “Could we please give me a day or two to heal?”

“Sounds like a good idea… you look like you’ve been through a tough fight or something.”

“No… just a really bad explosion.” He replied with a mixed expression.

“Oh and uh… sorry about waking you up. I didn’t think you’d be here, much less after having been ‘sploded.” Sonic smiled sympathetically. “If you want, you can go back to bed. I’ll have Rouge come over to help you recover. The sooner the better!”

Shadow shrugged, “Looks like you’re pumped up about this. Aright… just tell her not to cook. For the love of all that’s good in the world, do not let her cook for me! Get take-out!”

“Whoa… ‘she that bad?” Sonic asked with a scratch to his head.

“No, it’s not that. But when I’m sick or injured, she turns into a soy-slash-vegetarian addict to get me healthy again. I can’t take any more veggie slushies or I’ll puke.”

Sonic laughed at his plight and agreed to tell Rouge to lay off the soy products. Although Shadow was indeed injured, he was obvious he didn’t want his stomach to suffer as well. “You got a point. Tofu really does suck.” The blue hedgehog smirked.

“Before you do that though… why don’t we watch another movie? We should catch up on the last few days.” Shadow remarked, slowly making his way to the couch.

“Sure thing, Shads.” Sonic replied happily, leaping over the back of the couch as usual and landing next to him.

“Man, am I glad you aren’t the type to hold a grudge.” Shadow rolled his eyes and turned on the TV, “I thought for sure you’d have my hide for this.”

Sonic grinned widely and put an arm around him, “Nah! I’m not that kinda guy!”
