Sonic sighed as he flopped down on his bed. He's bored, and can't think of anything else to do. He's already done his daily run, and eaten some chili dogs...
He had nothing to do for the rest of the day.
Thus, he decided to look through his room. He hasn’t in a while, and it was time to get rid of some stuff. Looking through the closet was his top priority, so he did that first.
Pulling out random shit was the main event. Old sketchbooks, a few trans flags [fitting that they’re in his closet], some old shoes, love letters from Amy, love letters to Shadow [didn’t have the guts to send any], and...
A karaoke machine? He hasn’t seen that for years.
Might as well check it out.
Meanwhile, Shadow growled as he walked through the isles of the grocery store.
Sonic’s gonna be pissed there isn’t any chili. He basically lives on chili dogs.
“Guess I can get him some Spaghettios... I know that’s his 2nd favourite.” Shadow mumbled under his breath, grabbing about 10 cans.
Then, he felt his phone ring.
“Tails..? Why are you calling me?” Shadow asked.
“You’re gonna wanna hear this.” Tails said, and seemed to bring the phone closer to... Music?
“Shadow. Sonic is singing.” Tails explained, and Shadow’s eyes grew wide.
Sonic was singing Reach for the Stars, and his voice was heavenly. Usually if someone asked Sonic to sing, he’d either deny the offer or sing poorly. Shadow didn’t know Sonic would be this good.
Not to mention, he’s got a thing for guys who can sing.
“I’ll be there as soon as I can.” Shadow quickly told and hung up, going to the self checkout and scanning everything. He paid, then teleported right inside the front door with all the groceries.
He set them down, then made his way upstairs to Sonic’s room.
“That was quick.” Tails told softly with a smirk, leaning on the door.
“Shut up and get out of my way.” Shadow growled lowly as Tails did in fact get out of his way.
That gorgeous voice... That’s Sonic’s...
Sonic sang his heart out, and a bit after Shadow started listening in, Reach for the Stars was over.
“What to sing next...” Sonic said to himself, looking through his YouTube playlist.
“I’m thinking... The Chosen one... Oh, maybe All Hail Shadow? Damn, that song always gets me going.” Sonic chuckled softly.
While Sonic was trying to find a song, Shadow was blushing heavily.
“Sonic likes me????” Shadow whisper yelled to Tails, and Tails just shrugged.
“Yep, All Hail Shadow it is.” Sonic decided, hitting play with a huge smile on his face.
Shadow sat down, still up against the door. He decided to get comfy, he wanted to stay here for a while.
“I’ll be downstairs if you need me.” Tails told, and then he went.
Leaving Sonic and Shadow.
Shadow listened as Sonic sang his fans’ anthem, basically. There was so much emotion inside Sonic’s voice, that Shadow knew Sonic loves him.
After that, it was The Chosen One.
Shadow almost cried with how much emotion Sonic was putting into this song. It’s almost like... Like Sonic related to Shadow in some way, or at the very least cares deeply about him.
Shadow fell asleep soon after The Chosen One.
Sonic sang a few more songs, then wanted to exit his room. But alas, he was stopped by a sleeping dark hedgehog on the ground.
Was he listening to him sing? Why did he fall asleep?
...Did he get some chili?
Sonic carefully stepped over him and dashed to the kitchen.
“Hey Sonic. There’s no chili, but he got you 10 cans of Spaghettios hoping to please you that way.” Tails said with a chuckle.
“Ah. Did you know that he was right outside my door? He fell asleep. Right there. Outside of my door.” Sonic told, and Tails started laughing.
“Wow, that’s really funny.” Tails wiped a tear from his eye, due to laughing so hard.
“Why is it funny?” Sonic was confused as hell at this point.
“I told him you were singing, and he came home as soon as he was done paying for the groceries. I left him be up there, and I guess he fell asleep to your voice. He’s also pretty tired, so it doesn’t surprise me too much.”
Sonic started to blush, looking back up the stairs to look at Shadow.
He’d hear Shadow wake up in the middle of the night a lot, so this was interesting how Shadow’s sleeping so good.
“Do you think he likes me..?”
“Without a doubt. He also heard you talking about his songs, seemed pretty shocked that you like him too.”
Sonic blushed a lot this time, not being able to calm it down.
“I’m gonna go... Do something.” And just like that, Sonic was off.
Back up the stairs he went, and he quickly cleaned up his room. He placed the karaoke machine lovingly in the corner.
Maybe he’d hear Shadow sing someday...
He decided to take it one step at a time, and he opened the door to reveal a still sleeping Shadow.
This would quickly turn to five steps at once.
He carefully picked up Shadow, mindful to not wake him up.
Laying the black hedgehog on his bed, Sonic then got into the bed with him. He cuddled up close to Shadow, loving the soft lavender smell of his fur. He figured this would be the only time that he gets to be the big spoon.
After a few hours, about 8 PM, Shadow woke up and tried to stretch. Keyword tried, because he was stopped by arms wrapped around him.
Cream coloured arms.
His heart started to race slightly. What happened? He was listening to Sonic sing, then next thing he kne-
He fell asleep.
The only reasonable option would be that... Sonic picked him up and placed him on his bed.
Sonic... Wanted to sleep with him.
Oh who the fuck is he kidding, he knows that Sonic loves him.
But the realness of... Being right here with him, it’s...
Really nice.
“Shad, are you awake..?” Sonic asked groggily, moving around slightly.
“I am...” Shadow replied softly, situating himself to look at Sonic.
Is Sonic more handsome than he remembers?
Probably just the fact that he had just woke up.
“Sorry I... I thought you’d like to lay on a bed instead of the floor.” Sonic said, a blush spreading on his face.
“On your bed? With you?” Shadow started, making Sonic tense up slightly.
“I wouldn’t wanna sleep any other way.”
