Wild Within The Heart (Sonadow)

--Deep Feelings - Part 4--

   Sonic woke up the next day, yawning as he open his eyes and looked next to him seeing that Shadow was already gone to get help from the humans. As he hear barking right outside the den, his ears went down knowing that it was Shadow getting the humans attention to help him out with his wounds that he got from Scourge that was trying mate with him. Sonic shook his head to get rid of the thoughts he of that day and it also scared him to the point that he won't let anyone get close to him. But not Shadow, he was different in a way that he can trust. Then a thought came to him.

   'Does he care about me that much to get help for me?' Sonic thought to himself with a blush on his muzzle as he look outside the den and then looked away. 'No... can't be'

   Sonic just shook off the blush and decided to take a nap abit longer for now as he wait for Shadow to come with help. Shadow on the other hand was trying his best to get the humans attention by barking at them. A young humans girl by the name of maria had heard the black wolf barking like crazy as she walked by and opened the gate, seeing that the wolf wanted her to follow. Maria followed the black wolf into woods as they then stopped to see the wolf stood in front of the den. She walked closer to look inside the den and saw the blue male was hurt badly, even whimpering slightly at times from his wounds. Maria called the others for help on the radio about a wounded blue male as they said to stay there until the others to come. Sonic woke up by hearing talking and saw a human there, making him get scared of what happen. Shadow heard the whimpers from the other and stepped into den and went towards Sonic alittle.

   "it's going to be okay.. you can trust her" Shadow said calmly.

   After a few hours, the other humans come with first aid-kits to help heal the young male's wounds. They slowly walked towards the scared blue wolf and only then Sonic started to growl at them for getting closer but Shadow stopped him by nuzzling his head. Sonic blush at that and lowered his head down to let the humans know that he will let them come closer to heal these wounds as Shadow stayed by him. After a few minutes of bandaging the blue wolf, they left the den and leave the two alone to let them rest.

   "You alright?" Shadow asked as he sit next to Sonic.

   "Yeah.. I'm fine..." Sonic said sadly as he looked down with his head still on the ground.

   "Are you sure?.. You look sad from something" Shadow said.

    Sonic sighs, he didn't want to talk about it at all but he trust Shadow enough with all his heart and decided to just tell him, even if he was mean to him at first.

   "I'm afraid.." Sonic said as he quickly closing his eyes and covers fade with his paws.

   "Afraid of what?" Shadow asked confused to what Sonic was afraid of.

   "O-of what the other wolves here would do because.. I.. I'm in heat" Sonic said too scared to reopened his eyes and to stop shaking of fear.

   "So that's what I been smelling earlier.. When I came to find you, I only smell blood but now I know it was coming from you" Shadow said alittle surprise that the sweet smell come from the blue male.

   "Don't tell me you will..." Sonic said as he quickly looked up at Shadow with a worried expression on his face.

   "What!?.. No I'm not going to do that" Shadow said stepping back abit. "Besides I'm stronger then those other males that go crazy around that scent of heat"

   "And why'd you save me then?" Sonic asked blushing.

   "I... don't know... I just had this feeling to save you" Shadow said, looking away with a blush on his muzzle.

   Sonic looked down at his paws and then back at Shadow with a light blush. Shadow had this warm feeling again in his chest that only happens when he's close to Sonic and it's not that Sonic's is in heat. It's something more like he didn't want to Sonic here alone but he somehow find out what's this feeling is. Shadow was thinking if this feeling is real or not. Sonic saw Shadow deep in thought but had to ask the other something before the day ended.

   "Uh.. Shadow?" Sonic asked as he tilts his head at Shadow.

   "What?" Shadow said as he snapped out of his thoughts and looked at what Sonic.

   "Do you.. Hmm.. Like me?" Sonic asked with a cute puppy face and blushing.

   Shadow froze as he was speechless at what Sonic just said to him with a full reddish blush on his muzzle. He stood there with nothing to say to this question. Does he or does he not like him? Sonic felt bad for saying that out the blue then stand up on all four paws and walked towards the den's entrance to leave the black male alone but as he halfway out, something was pulling him gently back into the den by his tail. Sonic looked back to see it was Shadow that grab his tail. Shadow was still blushing, letting go of Sonic's tail to be sure he wouldn't go just yet and then looked away from the blue male.

   "What's wrong shadow?" Sonic asked confused of why Shadow had stopped him from leaving.

   "Well I.. I..." Shadow said still blushing like crazy but then close his eyes tightly. "I love you, sonic!" He shouted out loudly.

   Shadow quickly turn around looking back into the den, away from Sonic's eyes. He wasn't sure if Sonic would feel the same way for him. So he just waited to be turn down from the the other. Shadow don't want his heart to be broken from the only one he had this feeling for in a long time.

   "It's ok.. if you don't feel the same way for me.. i know its too much to take in after what happen" Shadow Said, dropping his head low.

    Sonic was shocked to hear what Shadow said that out of nowhere but the shock soon disappeared as he stepped by Shadow's side. He lick the black male's cheek and wait for Shadow to reopen his pretty red eyes. Shadow blushed even more from that and then open eyes to look at Sonic that also blushing beside him

   "I love you too shadow" Sonic said as he nuzzled Shadow's neck with a smile.

   "Y.. You do?" Shadow asked.

   "Yes" Sonic said, still nuzzling Shadow's soft fur.

    Shadow smiled at Sonic that had accepted to be his mate for life. He then licked the blue male's muzzle and nuzzled his cheek. Sonic did the same as he happily give Shadow the love he always wanted in his life. They both lay down on the soft nest-like bed, smiling and nuzzling each other. Shadow was happy to have a pretty blue uke wolf as his mate and to live together forever.

   "Good night shadow" Sonic said as he yawn and fall asleep.

   "Night my pretty little mate" Shadow said happily and went to sleep as well.
