Back at Sonic and Tails' house, Sonic woke up with a soft groan and looked around, confused. "Oh, good morning Sonic!" Tails walked through the doorway with a plate of waffles and some orange juice. "I was starting to think you would sleep until noon, you must be hungry though, so I made some food!" Sonic gratefully accepted a waffle, but he still had one more question.
"How did I get home anyway?"
"Umm..." Tails averted his eyes slightly before replying " Shadow brought you back home in his arms last night, said you fell asleep while you guys were out there. He also looked pretty disheveled, did you guys fight or something?"
"Uhhhmm..."
"Stop poking me or face the consequences faker." Sonic looked up from where he was, near Shadow's feet, studying his rocket shoes.
"I just wanted to know how they work."
"Well stop it before I crack your head open to see how your idiot brain works."
Sonic was silent for a few moments before bursting into laughter. "Ahahaha I'm sorry it's just that you look so serious, you should lighten up a little more Shads!" He crawled over to where Shadow was, smiling mischievously.
"Faker, what are you-" Shadow was cut off as Sonic pounced on him, tickling him all over.
"H-hey! Stop that!"
"Nope! Not until I see you smile!
They struggled for a while until Shadow managed to wrestle Sonic to the ground and pin him down. Both of them were panting softly, trying to catch their breath. Then, Shadow smiled evilly. "Look at how the tables have turned now Sonic." There was a small, brief pause where Sonic was able to register that Shadow had called him by his real name instead of his usual "faker", but then this train of thought came to a screeching halt as Shadow began to tickle him mercilessly.
"Heheh, ha, hahahaha! W-wait! Shadow-"
"No."
"You didn't even let me finish!"
"Don't think you can get away with doing that."
"Wait! H-haha hey! Ok, ok I surrender!"
Shadow eventually stopped tickling him and flopped off to the side, letting out a long breath. "I can never understand the way you think." He muttered softly. "What do you mean Shadow?" Sonic replied.
"Why do you care so much about me? You shouldn't care whether I'm happy or not."
Sonic chuckled "But yet here we are."
Shadow didn't say anything as he plucked some of the flowers around them, twisting them into what looked like a bracelet. Sonic watched him with a silent interest, suddenly feeling tired.
"Go to sleep already idiot."
"Aww, Dark, didn't know you cared."
"Shut up."
That was the last thing he heard before he blacked out.
"Soooo yeah, that's about it." Sonic shrugged. He didn't mention the voices in his head, but nevertheless, Tails sighed in relief.
"Well at least he brought you home."
"Yeah..." He seemed lost in thought before speaking again. "Now that I'm awake, is there anything we need to do today?" "Well... there is that picnic Amy planed on Angel Island." "Alrighty then, we should probably get ready then, go wash up real quick and I'll be downstairs." Sonic got up from the bed and Tails walked right behind him as they both strode out.
