The Past affects the Present

New Relationship?

Shadow was currently again trying to find Sonic and he was thinking on how he would greet Sonic and get him to trust him and although he wouldn't admit it he might have developed feelings for the hedgehog. It was near sunset when he found Sonic on the same hill that started all of this "Still wondering what's wrong with me?" Sonic asked him in a tired voice? "Well I just want to help you" Shadow replied "Help, *sigh* yeah right others have said the same thing but did they help no! They betrayed me!!" 'That's why he wont trust me or anyone he just doesn't want to be betrayed and hurt again' Shadow thought "Faker listen I wont betray you" Sonic looked hesitant but then said "I suppose your right everyone told me you only asked them some questions and they never mentioned our encounter that started all of this" this made Shadow smile since Sonic was considering on letting him help. "See I won't betray you also I know its a bit sudden but I have something to tell you" Shadow was unsure if he wanted to tell Sonic or not but oh well "Oh yeah and that would be?" Sonic was curious since he also has something to tell Shadow but doesn't know if he'll take it the right way. 

"I have feelings for you" when Shadow said that it made Sonic estatic in fact he was so happy he kissed Shadow on his cheek in his exitement which made Shadow both happy and surprised "Sorry its just I've felt the same way for a while now but wasn't sure how you would take it so I didn't tell you" both Sonic and Shadow were blushing and were glad no one else was around or that would've been more embarrasing. "Hey can I show you something?" Sonic asked Shadow "Sure lead the way" then Sonic ran off and Shadow followed him and Sonic led them to a field of flowers with a pond nearby and the sunset made it even more beautiful "Nice isn't it?" "Yeah its beautiful" then Sonic picked some flowers and made a flower crown and he then put it on Shadow's head which Shadow then picked some and put them in Sonic's quills. They spent some time there and were just being themselves no fake happiness no pretending to not care just them being them. After that they raced to Sonic and Tails house while they walked inside Shadow asked"Who's the one to keep it so organized here?" Sonic then replied with "Believe it or not its me I do most of the housework actually but I don't mind since it gives Tails more time to do what he enjoys".

This to Shadow only showed how much the hedgehog cared for his friends and was sad that he would eventually die since he isn't immortal. "Want something to eat?" Sonic asked while already getting ingredients to cook food "That would be nice thank you" Shadow replied while walking into the living room to watch the tv while he waits then Tails came slightly confused as to why Shadow was here but brushed it off and went back to the basement to work on his machines. Once the food was done Sonic gave Shadow his plate then went to get Tails who came to the living room to eat. Shadow was surprised at how well Sonic cooked after they finished eating, Tails went to his room to sleep and it was just now that Shadow realized how exhausted Sonic looked in fact he looked ready to collapse which made Shadow worry more. "Sonic have you been sleeping?" Sonic looked hesitant to answer but does trust Shadow a bit more so he then said "Not really" Shadow who was filled with worry for his new lover asked "Why?" Sonic wasn't entirely sure if he should tell him but he decided it would be better if he told him "Well it's cause either I sleep and have horrible nightmares about my past or just can't sleep its pretty much why I take naps during the day and so often and since its more of a rest than sleep I dont get nightmares" Sonic was waiting to see Shadow angry or dissapointed or something but instead he looked worried and concerned "Sonic if you want I can stay the night with you if you want" "If you dont mind" "I dont" and with that they went to sleep together and both of them had gotten some very needed rest.
