The hedgehog duo was walking down the isles of a costume shop. Each time they came across something interesting, they grabbed it to put on in the changing rooms. They had the costumes of zombies, werewolves, clowns, and many more. Eventually, they grabbed so many things they could not carry them any longer. So they went to the changing rooms to try out what they picked.

First was Sonic.

He came out from the changing room in a white poncho like cape, a hood over his head. He had pumpkin patterns on the cape and on the hood he had a pumpkin pattern as well. Accompanied with that he wore a black pullover and black ripped jeans as well as white gloves.
"A ghost!" He said as he spun in a circle, the cap flying up and the hood falling off his head. Shadow found it cute and chuckled a bit.
"Alright Mr Robotnik, up and in you go!" The azure hedgehog grabbed Shadow's arm and pushed him into the changing room.

Now it was Shadow's turn.

After a few moments of waiting, an embarrassed call came from behind the door.
"S-Sonic... I need some help with the costume." Shadow admitted in defeat. Sonic thought nothing of it and walked into the room. He didn't expect what he saw. Shadow was standing shirtless in the white room. He was in black pants and black leather shoes. His ears were slight lowered as some blush was spread across his face.

"I need you to tighten the corset for me... Please?" He turned around and motioned to the corset around his waist. The dark color almost perfectly matched his fur and quills. Sonic gulped as he was blushing too.
"Uh, sure." His hands grabbed the strings of the corset and tightened them. Shadow flinched but encouraged Sonic to continue, as it wasn't tight enough yet.

After a bit of time, it was tight enough. Shadow told Sonic to leave while he continued getting dressed.

Some time had passed and Shadow finally left the room. He wore a white button up shirt with bell sleeves, a fake corset over it, tightened to the same tightness as the real corset. His collar was puffy and he too wore white gloves.
"A vampire." He said as he showed his teeth. His natural fangs were so long and sharp that he didn't need fake fangs. Sonic smiled and laughed, standing up and flinging his arms around Shadow.
"Yes! We are absolutely getting these!"
"Are you sure? I don't know... I feel a bit too 'not scary'." Shadow said after he hugged Sonic back. They separated from the hug.

Sonic took a good look at him before shrugging.
"Some fake blood should do the trick. Now come on! We need to pay for these and get home for dinner, I'm starving!" He said, putting his hand on his stomach. Shadow nodded and they payed for the costumes.

The party was the following day, and Shadow would not lie if he said he was nervous.
