“So, how did it go?” Rouge asked her roommate the next morning. “You were out for quite awhile last night. You don’t reek of booze so I know you weren’t drinking your pain away.”
“No, I wasn’t.” Shadow smiled at her. “I was actually with Star last night. I confessed my feelings, using the best way I know how to get to her. She accepted them, and now we are together again as an official couple. No more stringing her along. This is real.”
“That’s great, Shadow! I’m so proud of you!”
“Yeah, the only problem is her brother.”
“Oh what now?”
“He wants to kill me because Star told him what happened, and she had every right to. But something tells me that if we were to tell him that we’re together again he wouldn’t like it very much. He would probably think that I had Eggman brainwash her or something.”
“Mm, you’re probably right.” Rouge nodded. “So what are you two gonna do?”
“We’re keeping it a secret from him for now.” Shadow sighed. “At least until Star can come up with a way to calm him down once we finally do tell him.”
“Oh that’s gonna be fun.”
“Yeah, no kidding.” Shadow then looked to the clock and froze. “Crap, I’m late.”
“Oh? Where are you off to?”
“I got a girlfriend now. A real girlfriend. So I have a real hot date at Panera Bread for lunch. Just because we’re keeping it a secret from Sonic doesn’t mean we gotta keep it a secret from everybody. We still want to be able to enjoy ourselves.”
“I hear ya.” Rouge chuckled. “Well, don’t let me keep you waiting. You two have fun. Oh! And if the situation calls for it, use protection!”
“Rouge!” Shadow’s face burned red. “We just started dating! We’re not even at that stage yet!”
“Keyword yet.” Rouge laughed as Shadow’s face burned again before he slammed the door behind him, taking off into town, leaving a red streak behind him.
…
“I am so going to hurt that roommate of mine.” Shadow groaned when he finally met up with Star at the restaurant.
“Oh boy, what did she do this time?” Star smirked.
“I’d rather not repeat what she said.” Shadow sighed, bending down and giving her a kiss, ignoring the stares that they received. “Sorry I’m late.”
“It’s alright. You’re here now. And I already ordered our drinks. Passion papaya iced green tea for myself and a plain americano for you.”
“That’s my girl. You know exactly what I like.”
“I better know what you like.” Star laughed. “Off of what little you’ve told me about yourself, that’s one of the things I remember.”
Shadow chuckled, then thought for a moment. “I… I really didn’t tell you a lot about myself… did I?”
“No, but that’s ok. I don’t expect you to tell me everything at once. I’m accepting baby steps.”
“Yeah but… I do wanna tell you about myself… some things I’ve never told anyone… It seems only fair since you opened your heart out to me… Now it's my turn.”
“Shadow, you don’t have to.”
“I want to… I really do… After we take our orders of course.” Shadow laughed as the waiter came back with their drinks.
