Shadow's Late Hour Help

I managed to bring myself that low

(2AM)

Sonic wakes up in the middle of the night dripping with sweat

[Sonic]
Ew, ugh I hate sweat it matts up my fur and makes it all greasy

Sonic sees that Shadow flipped over in his sleep again

He flips over to his left side to face Shadow

[Sonic's Thoughts]
He looks so calm and peaceful when he sleep now, unlike when I first saw him sleep and his eyebrows were all furrowed and angry looking

Sonic reaches his hand up and rubs the side of Shadows face

[Sonic]
Hehe, fluffy

Shadow opens his eyes slightly

Sonic jumps and yanks his hand back

[Sonic]
Sorry

Shadow groans and his eyebrows furrow just like the first night when he passed out

Shadow reaches for Sonic's hand swiping randomly below the covers until he eventually succeeds in grabbing it

He pulls the blue hedgehogs hand back up to his face and then smiles lightneing his angry look

[Sonic]
You're... fine with this?

Shadow sleepily hums

"Mmhhm"

[Sonic]
Okay...

Sonic continues to rub his face until Shadow says in a sleepy voice

[Shadow]
Why are you awake?

Sonic thinks for a minute not remembering and then answers as soon as he does remember

[Sonic]
Oh, I just woke up on my own because I was uncomfortable... I think

[Shadow]
Mhh, I'm sorry

[Sonic]
Oh it's alright swe- Shadow

Sonic trips over his words

[Shadow]
Did you almost just call me sweetie?

[Sonic]
No, I have no idea what you're talking about

[Shadow]
Must've been my imagination

[Sonic]
You're probably still tired

[Shadow]
Well I don't wanna sleep till you're able to

[Sonic]
Oh it's okay I'll just lay here till I fall back asleep, if I can't then it's alright, it's not fair that you don't sleep just because I can't

[Shadow]
No, are you comfy?

[Sonic]
I mean honestly, not that much, but I'm sure I can find a comfy spot
