Sonic's POV
After I was released from the hospital, I continued to stay at Shadow's house for a while.
I knew I was fully healed now from my surgery but my arm was still super sore.The doctors told me they just had to stitch up the slice in my arm and that my muscles in that arm would be a little weaker since it was a clean slice through. Fortunately it didn't hit any bones, so I'd just be a little weaker in my right arm.
It's fine though, I didn't use my arms for much, mostly just glad it wasn't my leg.But now my surgery was healed and Shadow had removed the bandages from my chest.
The scars were visible but I was proud of them.
"So, what do you think?" He asked, ruffling my quills as I looked in the mirror.
"I look great! And you look hot and handsome like always~" I flirted.
"Pfft, you're such a dumbass." Shadow chuckled, rolling his eyes, but I could see him blush.
"Yea, but I'm your dumbass! And you love me!" I laughed as I left the bathroom.
Now we were cuddled on the couch, watching a movie like we liked to do.
"So, Shadow, if you and I were in a rom-com, what do you think it would be titled?" I asked with a smile as the movie played.
"Hmm, I don't know, the fabulous and the faker?" He chuckled.
"Who would be the fabulous?" I snorted.
"Me, obviously." He said with a smirk.
"Jackass!" I laughed.
"You asked!" He laughed.
"Well I think it would be called the pillow-face!" I snickered.
"The pillow faced?" He snorted, arching an eyebrow.
"Yeah! Like this!"
I then smacked him in the face with a pillow then ran."OOF! Why you! Get back here!" He said, climbing over the couch to catch me.
"No! Hahahaha!" I laughed, running upstairs.
He chased after me, and I quickly hid under the bed in his room.
"Sonic! Where are you hiding you little trickster?!" I could hear him laugh, as he got up the stairs.
I covered my mouth to muffle my laughs.
I could hear him walk into his room and saw his paws on the floor."Where could he be... he's probably hiding out in his room."
I heard him leave and I giggled quietly.
But then he walked back in."Wait...I heard something... Sonniccc, I know you're in here!" He chuckled.
I couldn't help but snort, biting my lip to keep myself from laughing.
"I know you're in here sweetie, where are you hiding, Faker?" He said, and I could see his paws move around the room.
I held my breath, still holding in a laugh.
Then my ankles were pulled on and I was yanked out from underneath the bed.
"AH!" I yelped."Found you!" He laughed.
"No wait! Have mercy, Shadow!" I laughed, as he threw me onto the bed.
"Nuh-uh, that pillow was uncalled for. Prepare to be tickled, faker!" He chuckled, suddenly tickling my sides.
"No wait- AHAHAHA! Wait! Wait! Shadow- Pffftttt! Hahahahaha haha! Stop! I'm sorry! Hahaha!" I managed to say between laughs.
He was laughing as well, with that genuine smile I loved so much.
"Haha, Can't hear you over you being tickled, Sonic!" He giggled.
"Hahaha! Okay! Okay! Pfft, okay Shads! Hahaha hahaha! Okay! I get it! I can't breathe!" I laughed.
He removed his hands from my sides with a smile.
"Learned your lesson?""Sure." I chuckled, sitting up.
"Come on you rascal, let's head back downstairs." He chuckled, kissing my forehead and leaving the room.
I giggled and got to my feet, running downstairs.
Chaos, it felt so nice to be able to run again without my chest hurting.
I walked into the kitchen then noticed a photo package on the counter, the kind that were usually delivered when you wanted a nice photo of something. It had Shadow's address on it and it had been opened, and my curiosity got the best of me.
"Yo, Shads! What's this?" I asked, picking up the package and pulling out the photos inside.
They were all old photos of me. Before my transition...
"Oh, yeah, I was gonna tell you about this idea Rouge and Tails had later, but I guess I could tell you now."
He took the photos then spread them out on the counter.
"Rouge saw this idea on social media and apparently some other people who were transitioning did this. They held a funeral for their pre-transition selves. Rouge thought it would be something nice to do as maybe some form of acceptance? I dunno, I also asked Miles to send me the photos since I don't really have that many of you beforehand." He said."Aww, you only keep photos of me now?" I asked with a smile.
"I only keep photos of you being yourself, because I know you're happy with yourself. And that I helped you become like that. It may seem a bit sentimental but I like it." He said with a soft smile.
"Aw, how did I get such a softie of a boyfriend?" I giggle.
"Hey, I ain't soft just for anyone." He chuckled, ruffling my already messy quills.
"Hehe, but yeah! That sounds fun! How about we hold it tomorrow? By the bridge at Peace Sanctuary park? I think I'm ready to accept myself now as I am." I said looking at the old photos with almost fondly.
"Sure, I'll call Rouge and who do you want to invite to the funeral?"
"Everyone. Tell her to invite everyone."
"Got it, love."
He kissed me on the forehead then went to go grab his phone.
I smiled then looked back at the photos, picking on up.
"Guess after all those years..."
"I can finally be me."
