Sup dude

"Do you have to go?"

Rouge had her bag in her hand and was standing at the doorway of their shared home.

"Don't worry hun, I'm sure you'll be fine on your own. It's just for a week okay?"

She was going for an undercover mission to gather information for G.U.N for the duration of a week which Shadow wasn't included in. Shadow was fine with it. But now he had no one around the house with him. Which was fine if he wasn't so touch starved as of late. A few months ago he had actually progressed to actually let someone touch him, (that someone being Rouge) without freaking out and panicking over it.

When Rouge had picked up on Shadow's fondness over her touches, she tried testing her luck to see if she could linger on a hug just a little more than the usual 0.5 seconds he gave her. Which he, to her surprise, allowed. They talked about it, seeing as though Shadow did have firm ground rules to not touch him when they first met. It was a whole lot of baggage that stuck with him, that when described in detail will most likely get everyone and their mother demonetized.

It took a bit of prying on Rouge's part and discovered that he might have haphephobia. It was just a suspicion though, him definitely not being diagnosed and all but nonetheless she respected his space. Until he started asking for the hugs.

The first time he asked was probably the most embarrassing moment of his life. He could barely get a word out and when she finally got him to spit it out she was left with her mouth wide open in shock and they sat in complete silence for about 30 minutes.

Ever since then though it has been casual whenever he asks... kind of. You see, it was still a tad bit awkward for him but he's at least trying.

"Well I better go now before they kill me for being late. See ya soon hun."

Right... She was going for a mission. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and a pat on the head and flew out the door waving him goodbye. Now Shadow was really alone. There was really nothing for him to do at all right now. Well he supposed he could just watch some TV and maybe eat some coffee beans.

So he sat there on the couch and watched some TV, he got some coffee beans in his hands and started munching away. Soon after though it was night time. He didn't need sleep like everyone else but, he might as well do it to pass the time.

He quickly cleaned up his coffee bean mess and headed for his room. He never really used his bed outside of just sitting on it maybe. He was usually either occupied spending his time with Rouge or going out on missions until the early mornings. Speaking of which, he's surprised that no one has called him yet.

Oh well, he could use some peace every once in a while. He crawled onto his bed, made himself comfortable and tried to fall asleep.

Out in Green Hill you could see a blue streak gliding by everywhere, belonging to the one and only fastest glizzy gobler, Sonic the fucking hedgehog. He quite literally had nothing else to do except run.

He tried to hang out with Tails, but his brain got fried after listening to his insane ramblings for what seemed like hours. Then he tried Knuckles, but he wouldn't budge from angel island, go figure. And good lord forbid Amy finding him and chasing him around, asking him to marry her.

He could've tried to find someone else but, eh. He could just run all day everyday all day lo- yeah no, he thought of someone else he could bother. But now he's gonna have to run all the way to the city, oh well, it'll probably be worth it.

It was getting kind of dark but he'll make do with it.

Sonic arrived at, you guessed it, Rouge and Shadow's house and oh... the door's open. Last he checked it was like 11 by now. Were they expecting someone? Sure as hell didn't sound like it. He could hear nothing playing on the TV, no lights were on and he couldn't hear their voices.
