Being immortal has many perks, you can't die, and you can outlive everyone if you haven't been socializing to get to know the person. . . But for me, I know that there's one Important person that I'm not ready to lose.

Sonic's P.O.V.
I sat down with Shadow on the hill, I told him that I wanted to talk to him about something which was very Important, and it was mostly about the years to come. "So. . My mind has been all over the place about what life will be like in the future considering. . . You will live longer than all of us" As I said that Shadow looked over at me than looked down, it got silent for a couple minutes and I couldn't blame either of us because it is a tough subject. ". . . I know, and the thought of it happening scares me, I know I can't run away from this problem forever" my ears perked up as I turned my head to Shadow who was still looking down, I gently held his hand with my right hand and lifted his chin up with the other; "I know it's a tough subject, it will always be but we have to talk about things like this. We're in our mid 20s, and we got all the time in the world, just know that if something does happen in the future. . When I die, promise me that you'll keep making friends and living. . . That's all I want for you Shads" I laid my head on his shoulder as he looked over, he smiled a bit and nodded his head but by his body language alone, I can tell that it would not be easy for him if something does happen. For the rest of our alone time, we sat and watched the sunset go down, we picked up the rest of our things even the stuff we won at the L.A.R.P. carnival after party and went home, it was a silent walk back to the apartment. . . I wanted to say something, but I didn't want to make Shadow even more upset with talking about the future; "If something does happen, I will be upset but . . that's life and if It were me, I would find a way how to make you immortal like me." Shadow said, I stopped in my tracks but quickly walked up to him to get in front of him.

"No, don't do that Shadow that could take a long time to find. I wasn't created in a lab like you were I wouldn't want you to tire yourself out for-" As I was talking Shadow stopped and before I could I tripped over a rock and fell backwards, Shadow caught me and stood me up; "I would do whatever it takes to keep you with me forever, I dont want to lose you. . I don't want things to change" Shadow's ears drooped down, he was really upset and I was too. I placed my hand on his cheek and smiled at him; "Life is all about change, sure it's not good or bad but it's the memories we made together. I'll make sure to stay safe so we can live until that time comes, I promise" I kissed his head as I saw a smile on his face, we continued to walk home. As we got home, we didn't say a word to each other and when I tried to reach out to him he pulled away. . Like the day he got mad at me; "Shads, I know it's a tough subject but it had to be talked abou-" Shadow threw the stuff on the floor and turned to me, it startled me as I haven't see that look in a long time; "Talked about. . . Talked about, why did it have to be talked about now?! We were just having fun at the after party and you bring up this stupid topic like I already don't think about it enough!" He yelled, I got angry as well as I stepped closer to him and poked his chest. "How am I supposed to know that?! Ever since that day with Maria's passing anniversary you haven't told me anything sinc-". . . . "DON'T BRING THAT UP!" Shadow raised his voice, I backed up a bit. . Shadow breathed heavily and looked like he was holding back tears.

"I know I haven't been open at all but how can I?! Being immortal is a fucking curse enough, why do you think i distanced myself from all of you? If i get too attached it's going to hurt so much when the future comes!. . . It's best if you sleep in your room tonight because I can't. . I really can't" Shadow walked past me to his room, the bracelet I gave him dropped on the floor and all I heard was the door slammed shut. I picked up the bracelet and teared up as I wiped my face. . Fuck, I screwed up again. I looked at the bracelet before going to my room to grab a pillow, I didn't want to sleep in the room so I decided to lay down on the couch while hugging the pillow. . Slowly falling asleep.
