Shadow lay on the couch, his head buried in the pillows. This was one of the worst feelings he had ever experienced. Of course he and Sonic had fought before, that was literally their entire relationship from the beginning, and it didn't change even after they confessed to each other. But this was different.

~~~

"I was just trying to help you!"

"Well, you did a SHIT job! You know I hate being touched!"

"You TOLD me that that was what you wanted!"

"OBVIOUSLY not right now! Do you even remember what day it is for me today!?" Shadow half laughed in anger and Sonic took a step back in offence.

"Of course I do! That's exactly what I was trying to help you with!" Sonic defended himself but Shadow scoffed.

"Well, I don't NEED YOUR HELP!" Shadow slammed his fist down against the kitchen island, and by some miracle, the counter didn't crack. Sonic gulped and tried to step closer to Shadow.

"Shadow, stop it! I get you're upset but—"

"NO, YOU DON'T GET IT!!" Shadow charged up his chaos energy and threw a chaos spear at Sonic. Sonic yelped and ducked behind the island. It hit the light switch beside the doorway, casting the kitchen into darkness. Sonic slowly stood up, staring at where the chaos spear had hit the light switch, now sparking with electricity. Sonic shook his head in disbelief and turned back to Shadow. Shadow gritted his teeth as he glared daggers into Sonic, daring him to say something. But he didn't.

Sonic suddenly drew his breath and turned on his heel, storming out of the kitchen.

Shadow shook some of his anger off in confusion. "Where are you going?" He demanded as he followed Sonic to the front door.

Sonic whipped around to Shadow, taking a step towards him. Shadow held his breath as he noticed the glisten in Sonic's eyes.

"Away from you." Sonic jabbed his finger into Shadow's chest and after a final scowl, turned back around, swung open the door, and slammed it shut behind him. The house shook from the impact, but even after it stopped, Shadow continued to shake.

"Fuck."

~~~

Shadow pressed his face further into the couch. He wanted to just die on the spot. The regret, the sorrow, the remorse. His heart couldn't take this much, not without Sonic. Shadow swore to himself again. He knew he shouldn't have gotten so attached, he knew he shouldn't have relied so much on another person, because now, here he was, totally helpless on his own, feeling some of the worst guilt he had ever felt. And that was on top of the guilt he had already been feeling all day.

Shadow suddenly sat up, fuming once more, but at himself. He needed to get some anger out, or else he would never calm down. He stood up and opened the back door, walking to the furthest corner of the backyard and he fired a chaos spear at the ground. He threw another and another and another, until there was a large hole in the ground, dirt all up his legs, and he felt like he could drop dead into the hole. Which he partially did.

Shadow stared at the mess he had created, which only reminded him of the mess between him and Sonic, and all of a sudden, due to Shadow having expended all of his strength and energy, he couldn't help but let the building sob in his throat escape. He squeezed his eyes shut and held his head in his hands, falling to his knees with silent, desperate sobs. His momentum sent him into the hole he had dug, but he didn't care. If anything, he deserved to simply lay in the ground forever.
