Forgotten Lovers (Sonadow)

Chapter 13

Rouge sighed and took off her jacket as she let it slide down her shoulders and drop down to the floor. She felt exhausted from what happened on the day. She always gets tired whenever she goes back to the pod for some reason.

She flopped down on the bed, face first as she let her wings droop down on her figure as she groaned softly. She weakly pulled out her phone and raised it up and took a pic where she was pouting and then immediately sent it to Knuckles.

Meanwhile, Shadow got the pic as well over at his house. He sighed and rolled his eyes as he sat down on the edge of the bed and then hovered his thumbs over at the keyboard as he replied to her

"Leave me alone, you whore."

"I'm not a whore, you slut."

Both rolled their eyes. Rouge place her phone gently on the bedside table as she tuck herself in on the bed and slowly dozed off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Shadow tossed his phone over at the floor and then pulled over the duvet over him and slept a dreamless dream while laying on his stomach.

Tomorrow came as quickly as it did. Shadow woke up at exactly 5 a.m sharp and yawned. His gaze was heavy and hooded as he turned off the cries of the alarm and then stretched off his arms before he fixed up his quills. He got up from the bed and tidied it nicely and took his towel and headed to the bathroom, passing by his phone on the floor.

After he took a quick shower, he stepped out of the bathroom with a towel on his waist and his fur had droplets falling on the floor as his ear flickered. He then fixed up his quills, licked his palm and then ran his hands through his ebony quills in a somewhat cat action.

It was now 6 in the morning (he had a 20-step morning routine).

His ears perked up as he heard the front door opening. He finished up and then chaos controlled downstairs where he saw Rouge all dressed up and ready.

"Hey, handsome. You ready to go?" She asked Shadow as she placed a hand on her hip and puffed up her wings.

Shadow shrugged. "Not really. I don't want to do anything in the moment." He admitted as he went to the counter and took a bag of coffee beans on the shelf and took a few as he ate this with a good crunch. "I don't want to do anything after I go there. I just... Don't." He swallowed before he sighed.

"Mm... I understand, Hon. But the Commander is assigning us a mission today. It's about things regarding abou- You aren't listening..." She sighed. "You can't shrug this off, Shadow." She scolded him gently

"I can. What can he do about it? Huh?" Shadow snapped at her which earned a scowl from the bat.

Rouge sighed. "Your making this difficult."

Shadow crossed his arms "I'm not, I just need some time alone after I go to that pod. And now the Commander slaps me a mission just after I visited there? No way." He huffed and looked away while crossing his arms, his ears droop down and his tail flickered in annoyance.

Rouge looked up at Shadow up and down. She then looked at the front door and then back at Shadow.
