Pink Petals (Sonadow)

Too late to turn back? [Ch. 7]

Shadow POV

I heard a knock on my door, so he did come after all. I went and opened it only to meet a pair of green emerald eyes.

"hey" he said with a small smile. I nodded and let him in then closed the door.

"woah this is much more modern than any house i ever seen" he said.

"working at G.U.N. has some good advantages." i told him.

"the kitchen is there if you want anything" i said while pointing at a room.

"and the bathroom?" he asked.

"upstairs and then left, in front of my room" i told him. He nodded and sat down on the couch i had in the living room. I better ask about that party..

"so um do you remember anything after we got drunk?" i asked while looking at him.

"not much, just a picture of you laying on the bed staring into nothing" he said and chuckled. God that's embarrassing...um.

"how about a shooting game?" i asked him.
He nodded in response so i went to grab the game and put it on the tv. I also threw a console to blue.
After i explained him the use of the buttons, we started playing. He wasn't good at first but he slowly warmed up to me and was able to almost kill me. Keyword, almost.

"ha, better get your hopes down sonic. You won't win against me." i said but quickly realised what i did.
I looked at him and he looked back with a surprised look.

"you never called me that" he pointed it out.
Well shit why can't i.

"and? It's not that big of a deal" i said in a slightly frustrated tone and put the console down.

"are you warming up to me?" he asked again, i felt that he was staring but i didn't care to look back.

"you tell me" i said in response and was staring at the ground.
I did warm up to him slightly, i even drank with him and we got to hangout more than once..he's also not that annoying as he was before.

"i think you did, and i'm glad" he said probably grinning like an idiot.

"who cares, we won't be friends" i made it clear and stared at him. His grin slowly faded away after.

"you never wanted to be friends? I thought we are close.." he said.

"we are close. But i don't see us anything else than ..rivals" my voice was a bit unsure with the last word. I always wanted it to stay like this but now.. i guess..we could be friends. But why does he want to be so badly?
I was thinking in myself when i realised blue went upstairs and shut the bathroom door. What the?

Sonic POV

I shut the bathroom door and started the water. I quickly grabbed the shell and pulled the tight bandage down to reveal my work of pain. I was ready..oho so ready for this. I got rival zoned, i hoped for atleast friends but NO. And where is that damn petal?!
Just when i thought about it, it finally revealed itself. With my new method, i could take off my mind from the pain in my throath more.
.
Another flower head, with blood. Where is the blood from anyway?! Is it that my throath is damaged? Or from deeper inside? Is it even important?..don't think so.
I washed the shell and the sink, then finally my cuts which were like medicines for the pain to me. Now what should i do with the head? Oh i know. I wrapped it up with toilet paper and threw it in the trash, then walked down. Shadow looked at me confusedly.

"ah don't worry about it, i thought i was nauseous for a second" i told him but his expression didn't change.

"are you still sick or what?" he asked. Right, my sickness should have been over by now.
What should i say...., i just stood there scratching my neck.
