Forgotten Lovers (Sonadow)

Chapter 12

"Whatcha doing here...Hun?"

"Sonic? Sonic!" Tails called out before Sonic turned off the communicator.

   Sonic's eyes widened as he saw Rouge. She raised a brow and placed a hand on her hip as she shifted her weight.

"Your pretty face ain't suppose to be here."

   She gave the blue hedgehog a glare. Her wings puffed up.

"--Oh...uhh... I just uhh... Came with Tails and I took a quick run and stumbled here. What are you doing here?"

  Sonic straightened up and crossed his arms as he asked this to Rouge with skepticism. She got taken aback and cleared her throat.

"Well... Me and Shadow come here annually. Sometimes he comes here alone." She sighed as she took out her gum and tossed one to Sonic.

Sonic catched this midair and opened it.

"Why do you guys come here? How come we never knew this? Or am I the only one that knows?" Sonic chewed on the gum.

"You don't need to know that, Faker." Shadow emerged from the woods as he had his usual signature frown on his face. He stood beside Rouge and gave Sonic a glare. "It's none of your business."

"And why not...? Why do you guys come here annually...?" Sonic tapped his feet in an impatient manner as he raised a brow.

"Ugghh..." Rouge sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose and looked up at Shadow. Shadow rolled his eyes and nodded as he looked away. Rouge smiled of the confirmation.

"Well... We come here to... Celebrate Shadow's coming to Earth Day. More like a birthday? I don't know. The day he lost everything day, new life day, something something day." Rouge chuckled as she said this in a playful manner.

"Coming to Earth Day-- wha??" Sonic titled his head as he looked at both of them in a confused way, blowing the bubble gum on his lips.

"So... You didn't know? I thought people spread his info and most people know about it by now. Guess someone has been living under a rock." Rouge giggled as she nudged Shadow's arm playfully, Shadow just sighed.

"Wait wait wait wait... Your meaning to tell me... That Shadow didn't come from Earth? Is that it?! What?! How come I don't know about this?! Space?? Him?!"

   Sonic had a lot of questions til they heard a flapping and whirling on the air. They all looked up and saw Tails landing nicely. He patted his body and closed his eyes as he cleared his throat.

"Wha-"

"SONIC!!!!!!!!" Tails yelled at Sonic right on his ear. Sonic's ears bled. Literally. He even swallowed the gum accidentally.

"Gah-!!"

"...wha... What the heck buddy?? Why'd you do that for?!" He held his chest as he felt the gum trailing down on his throat and into his stomach, he let out an uncomfortable gasp.

"I kept on calling out to you on the communicator and yet you cut me off! That was rude! I had to track you on the communicator, fly all the way here and then just getting all worked up because of your carelessness! What if something happened to you and you just-... Just cut me off like that?!" Tails' ears lowered down as he let it all out of his system.

"..."

   Rouge placed a hand dramatically over at her mouth, an exaggerated gasp followed after. Pretending to be shocked of their interaction. Shadow fixed up his quills and adjusted his gloves a bit, not caring one bit. Sonic shot them a glare of their nonchalant attitude.
