Shadow's POV: Sonic and I, finished eating dinner. Let's just say his Mom's food wasn't the best. I could tell Sonic hated it too. My boyfriend was already upstairs waiting for me. I decided to chaos control up since I know the surroundings now. "Okay, i'll explain now." I said.

Sonic sat down quietly. I did too. "I always thought that I hated you. But really, I adored you. You see, the first time I saw you, you looked so heroic. And you were, still are. Everyone seemed to love you, and praised you a lot. Then there was me, created to heal, but known to destroy things."

"Created? Destroy things?" Sonic questioned.

"I'll tell you my background story. I never had a Mom or Dad who gave birth to me, I was created through genetic engineering by Eggman's grandfather, Professer Gerald Robotnik. Gerald created me because he thought i'd help Maria heal from a deadly illness. I never got the chance to heal her, but we became really close friends. Close friends until Maria got shot. Right in front of my eyes. The crazy thing is that she got shot down by a GUN member, I used to work with them after waking up from fifty years. Not that I wanted to work with them. I was forced to, they thought they owned me. Glad I broke that off. Anyways, before Maria died, she cast me into space while I was stuck in a space pod. I've been asleep for fifty years until Dr. Eggman woke me up. Yeah, I know. I'm over fifty years old. But i've only been awake for seventeen years so that's why I don't look my age." Sonic looked so shocked, but he stood silent, waiting for me to continue. "Maria would've loved this right now, she always had dreams of going to earth." I continued my explanation of why I "hated" him. "I woke up after the fifty years, so confused about everything. All I could remember was Maria getting shot down by humans. I met Dr. Eggman and he said he'd give me more answers about my past if I collect him all the chaos emeralds. I believed him, since he already gave me a good amount of information from my past. Of course I figured out Dr. Eggman was up to no good. And one of the promises I made to Maria was that i'd protect the Earth, no matter what. Even, if I hated humanity. It was all Eggman's fault that made people think I was a bad person. With all that hate coming towards me, it made me into a bad person. That was why I started being rude to people, hurting them, and getting into fights. Especially at school. I'd always pick on you. I thought I hated you but..I adored you just like the rest. I was also jealous. You had everything I wanted. Close friends, family, people who loved you, and took care of you. People who praised you. I'd always see you as a brave, confident, handsome hero. You had everything, you were everything that I wanted. No one cared about my feelings and saw me as a project. I got used to it, and always had an emotionless or mad expression. It was only today that you changed it, making me smile. And giving me what I really wanted. You. I still don't have everything I want, but as long as i'm with you, I have everything I need."

Sonic held my hand. "I feel so bad. I cant imagine going through all that. And, you know, being a hero isn't all that nice, Yes I get praised, and people cheer for me, but i'm always the hedgehog who people count on. I always save everyone, but no one has saved me. That's until you came along, you saved me from Eggman. I would've lost all my memories if it weren't for you."

I pulled Sonic in for a hug. "You make me feel useful."

"You are useful, handsome."

I kissed Sonic's quills as he hid in my chest fur. My boyfriend was adorable, he started purring. Which, was contagious because I started to purr too. I was comfortable around Sonic. And now, I can feel the happiness I never once felt in this world of hatred, non-understanding humans.

Sonic's POV: As my face was stuffed in Shadow's chest fur, I thought back at everything he had said. I never knew Shadow's backstory was this sad. I wanted to cry from the thought that my boyfriend had to go through all those things. He's so strong.

I looked back up at Shadow when he stopped smooching my quills. "We'll have to tell our friends at school about us soon, right? I'm not pushing it, but I don't wanna hide this for too long, so...if you're comfortable we can-"

Shadow cut me off. "-Is that even a question? Show me off to your friends. Let them know you're all mine."

I blushed when Shadow said that. "I sure will, angry hedgy!"

"Hey! What?? Since when was I angry today??"

"Hehe!!" I went on my phone and showed him the history of the nicknames I gave him. 'angry hedgy😡😡.' 'Shadz❤️.'

Shadow showed me his. 'Rival.' 'Someone special.' 'Loml.' (Love of my life) "Awhh I love you soso much!"

I changed Shadows nickname from 'Shadz❤️' to 'Him.' Shadow and I kissed one more time before we decided to watch a movie together. This time, instead of horror, it was a romance movie. The love in the movie was strong, but it'll never be strong as me and Shadow's.
