I Wish You're A Girl (Sonadow)

𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑟 4: 𝐶𝑜𝑚𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑡?

Weeks had passed, sonic regained his courage to confess his feelings to his rival. After that argument they didn't spoke to each other since, but it's need to be done quickly now.

Today he asked shadow through text if he could come to the park, the same park where their first argument started. The ebony didn't respond to his question, and now he wasn't sure if he's even coming.

After a short wait, shadow finally arrived. He sat beside the blue one, a bit far away from him. "Hey." Sonic started "hey..." Shadow then greeted back. "Look, shadow about what you said that day. I'll have to admit that it was all true, I'm sorry if I used to be so careless all the time...and it sometimes affects the people around me. "

"And about the running away problem, the truth is...i don't really know how t-to...
uhm— manage it properly." The blue one then added, this confuses the other.

"How, sonic. And you're telling me this just now? Why didn't you say something?"

"Shadow, I would rather keep it to myself than making you all worry about me." Sonic turned to face the ebony.

"But you were struggling, you just said that you can't properly fix it all by yourself."

Sonic didn't know how to respond back, but he wants to and at the same time he doesn't want to. He keeps on opening his mouth, choosing if he should answer the other one. "You okay?" He heard shadow. "...I don't wanna be burden."

Now, shadow felt really bad. He didn't know, he never did. "Opening up to someone is normal sonic, you can't keep it to yourself for a long time or you'll break. If you need any help, you can always call someone for assistance. But if you want, you can...call me." What was he saying? It was never his thing to say such things, especially for his rival?

Although right now, he needs him. "Shadow..."

"hm?"

"Thank you." and at that sonic's feelings grew more stronger. "It's my way of apologizing about the argument, i thought I went a little harsh on you."

"It's okay, atleast I know now."

"Now, was that the only reason why you called me here?" Shadow asked.

Sonic finally realized, he was supposed to confess his feelings but he ended up venting to him. "Actually I have something...to say."

"What's that?"

"Please, don't build some hatred on me after this. I've been— hiding this for a long time and now I can finally say that...i think I'm falling for you, shadow."

Shadow's world stopped at the moment. Did he heard that right? His own rival is falling for him? But, they were both boys. Isn't that wrong? He wasn't disgusted but he wasn't sure of it. What will he do...?

"what the f-fuck..."

"Shad—"

"This isn't right— we shouldn't—" Sonic wasn't surprised upon his reaction, he kind of expected it anyway. "What is not right? Loving another male???"

Shadow didn't know what to say, instead...he walked away. Overthinking the things that happened, how will he handle this now?

While on the other hand, sonic sat there. Watching his rival leave. He didn't feel anything but his tears, again. He grew numb.
