A vein was pulsing in Shadow's temple.
Sonic was doing it again. He could tell.
Shadow looked back out the corner of his eye at his student, and he was right.
He was going it again.
Sonic was staring out the window with a dazed look in his eyes as he daydreamed about something; that was the normal part; Sonic was ALWAYS daydreaming.
But; although when he was daydreaming NORMALY his face was blank and impassive, but NOW he was blushing rather darkly and there was drool at the side of his mouth;
a very bad sign of him thinking some very pervy thoughts.
He tried to ignore it.
He tried to keep his mind on his lesson.
But several times he couldn't help but glance back and the dreamy-eye hedgehog.
One time he glanced back and Sonic's face had darkened more and unmistakably there was blood trickling from his nose.
An even worse bad sign.
Finally Shadow couldn't take it anymore.
Shadow picked up one of his erasers, aware that he had the attention of the rest of the class; he flipped it in his hand so the soft chalk covered part was facing out, and with an abnormal amount of force he sent it flying across the room.
The effect was immediate; in slow motion the eraser collided with Sonic's forehead and the blue hedgehog fell back out of his chair in surprise.
"AH!"
After a second of lying on the floor confused he resurfaced over the side of the desk, blushing as he received many laughs and snickers form his classmates.
Shadow smirked.
"Pay attention Sonic" He said receiving a glare.
He knew that he was going to pay for that later, but at the moment he was too amused to care.
Sonic sent a glare over to his teacher as Tails came back with their lab supplies.
"Tee hee! Hey Sonic, you still have chalk on your face" Tails said laughing and Sonic saw Shadow smirk in his direction as he rubbed his face.
"Oh shut up!" Sonic mouthed in Shadow's direction and he turned his attention to the lab on his desk.
"Class, make sure you have no electronics around the chemicals you're working with. I don't think your parents would appreciate it if they have to by you a new phone since you old one exploded."
There was a large amount of movement as all the students put away their phones and Shadow felt his sweat dropped.
Now he knew why half of them were failing.
As Sonic picked up his phone and idea clicked evilly in his head.
Just the other day he and Shadow were playing with different ring tone songs...
Shadow glanced up as he felt Sonic's sneering and raised an eyebrow, but Sonic's mischievous gaze didn't change and with a sinking feeling Shadow realized he was waiting for something... something not good...
And then he heard it.
His cell phone which was lying on the desk suddenly blared loudly as his cell phone rang;
"IM A BARBIE GIRL!
IN A BARBIE WORLD!
LIFE IN PLASTIC; ITS FANTASTIC!
YOU CAN BRUSH MY HAIR!
UNDRESS ME ANYWHERE!
IMAGINATION!
LIFE IS YOUR CREATION!"
'Shoot! I thought I changed that!'
Shadow glared angrily at Sonic as his face reddened and the class burst into laughter.
Sonic himself was doubled over in his seat his head on the desk unable to breath from laughing.
He gritted his teeth as he thought of different way of strangling the blue boy!
As he clicked the off button, and turned the ring tone volume down he called the class to order, aware that he was blushing, and glared at Sonic.
"Settle down children.
'You're going to pay for that!' The look said clearly.
Sonic grinned.
And Shadow felt his cell phone vibrate in his hand after a few minutes.
'Just tell me when~'
Shadow sighed.
'That cocky little jerk' He thought.
He was going to have fun taking out his vengeance.
"Hey Silver, come on over!" Tails called as the silver hedgehog looked around the cafeteria for a seat.
He smiled and walked over waving to all the other people at the table who Tails introduced; Rouge, Knuckles, and Cream, and Blaze who he'd already met.
The others greeted him politely and friendly and even joined him to the conversation, which was the Halloween party that was being planned.
Rouge and Cream were all on the decorating committee, so Knuckles and Tails were being forced to come.
"Do you think YOU'LL go silver?"
Rouge asked leaning forward and lowering her eyelids slightly.
"Um... I don't know... I guess?"
He replied nervously.
Rouge giggled and whispered something to Cream and shook her head amused.
Rouge was just trying to get Knuckles worked up.
Rouge glanced around and waved at Amy, who waved back and walked over.
"Hey you guys!"
"Hello Amy" Tails said. "This is Silver"
Amy greeted Silver cheerfully and turned her attention to Rouge who was saying something.
"So, Amy, where's Shadow~?"
"Eh? I don't know, didn't see him." Amy said shrugging.
Knuckles and Tails snickered; their blue friend wasn't there either.
"Oh I'd say he's really busy right about now" Tails said, pointing out Sonic's empty chair to Rouge, who actually hadn't noticed that Sonic wasn't there.
"... Ohhh~"
Silver looked up curiously ever since he'd heard Shadow's name and he wondered what all the snickering was about, not knowing anything about his and Sonic's relationship, and not knowing that a certain blue hedgehog was missing in action.
"COME BACK HERE YOU FAKER!" Shadow yelled as he chased Sonic down the hallway.
Sonic grinned back at the black hedgehog.
"Nah, I don't think so!"
He turned a corner sharply and sped up turning another corner and another and skidding to a halt in one of the abandoned hallways of the school.
It was abandoned because of a shortage of teachers this year.
Silently Sonic opened a door and slipped inside hiding under a huge desk that was sitting a few feet from the wall, behind a large pile of desks and chairs that filled the abandoned classroom.
Sonic stifled a giggle in his gloved hand.
"Shadow will never find me here~" He told himself in a whisper.
"Oh, you think so?"
Sonic's eye widened as Shadow's arms wrapped around his torso, pulling him back off his feet, with one of his hands landing on his mouth to keep him from shouting.
He tried to pull away but to no avail; Shadow's grip was just too strong.
"Shhhh~" Shadow whispered in his ear as he pulled him closer, tightening his already firm grip.
Sonic's face flushed as Shadow nuzzled his cheek, teasingly affectionately.
"You thought you could get away?"
Slowly and deliberately he gave Sonic's cheek a soft wet lick, and Sonic blushed even more.
"How foolish"
Shadow smirked and gave him a peck on the cheek, sending another one after it and another one, each one lower than the last until he'd reached Sonic's neck.
And still smirking he pulled at Sonic's collar moving it out of the way as he buried his face in the blue hedgehog's neck, and breathed onto Sonic's skin, sending tremors down Sonic's back before he pressed his mouth against it, kissing it while his tongue massaged Sonic's skin there.
Sonic squirmed, blushing as Shadow continued his hickey.
Shadow had never done this before, and it was a new experience for the blue hedgehog; but at the same time as it was uncomfortable... it was oddly arousing...
Sonic moved his hands behind him hugging Shadow to his back tightly, and Shadow finally broke his hickey, only to lick Sonic on the cheek again.
Sonic turned to stare at Shadow, silently, as his mouth was still covered, and he gasped as Shadow's hand moved to his stomach, by-passing his shirt, and rubbing his hands up and down the peach colored skin.
Sonic's shut his eyes tightly at the slow but pleasurable torture as Shadow pressed his mouth against his, effortlessly breaking down Sonic's defenses as he breached his mouth with his tongue, and his clawed hands moved against his skin sending sparks of electricity running through his body and nervous system; making him excited in more ways than one.
Shadow chuckled.
The blue hedgehog was squirming, moving against Shadow's carefully placed fingers, his body reacting against his will and confusing his thoughts as he tried to make sense of what was happening, just as Shadow had intended.
The smell of him was tantalizing, the taste and feel of him irresistible; but he had to stay focused; now was not the time to give in to his rapidly expanding desires.
Right now he was only teasing; flirting with Sonic's senses deceptively
they broke away gasping for air again but as just as quickly they came back again.
And suddenly Sonic's eye widened and he gasped as he felt something of himself moving uncontrollably. Bashfully he tried to hide it, bringing his knees together but Shadow caught the movement. He raised his eyebrow and glanced down only to chuckle and smirk deviously as he saw a bulge in the blue hedgehog's pants that was certainly not there before.
He smirked and slowly began to move his hand up and down Sonic's stomach, moving it lower and lower, teasing the blue hedgehog in his arms.
Then finally he moved his hand over that oh so tempting bump in Sonic's jeans and very, very deviously moved his index finger against it stroking up Sonic's 'friend', kissing Sonic's cheek alluringly, making Sonic gasp a quiet moan and shudder as he brought his legs tightly together around Shadow's hand as Shadow laughed at him quietly.
"Sh-Shadow!"
"Aww~, you LIKE that don't you?"
Sonic looked away blushingly and shut his eyes again tightly, causing Shadow to move his against him, adding another finger.
Sonic's breath hitched and he moaned softly at the movement.
"Hmm~? DO you?"
Sonic mumbled breathlessly and turned his red face away.
"I'm sorry? What did you say?" Shadow asked sneeringly as he moved his fingers again and with the other hand pulled Sonic's head closer so his face was inches from his own.
Sonic tightened his closed eyelids and blushing deeply mumbled just a bit louder.
"Yes"
Shadow smirked as he continued his teasing.
"Oh, you do?"
"Yes Shadow."
Shadow squeezed his Sonikku closure and whispered softly in his ear purringly.
"And Do you want more~"
Sonic's breath hitched again as he felt Shadow's fingers press harder against the tortured organ and blushing harder than ever he nodded quickly, his quills moving up and down at the rapid movement.
Shadow smiled softly and he put his mouth to Sonic's ear as he whispered softly, still teasing Sonic...
"Well then...."
His smile turned into an evil sneer.
"Too bad!"
Sonic's eyes popped open and with a laugh Shadow disappeared leaving Sonic sitting there, frozen...
Until...
"SHADOW YOU JERK!" He shouted at the top of his lungs angrily, and in a blur of movement he ran out the classroom down several hallways and into the boy's bathroom.
Seconds later Shadow appeared out of thin air outside the bathroom doubled over in laughter.
He wiped the tears from his eyes as he tried to stop laughing.
Best act of vengeance ever!
Shadow leaned against the wall next to the bathroom door until finally Sonic came out his face red and angry.
Shadow snickered and Sonic glanced his way then turned around his nose pointed to the air and walked away with Shadow following.
"I'm sorry Sonic. But I simply couldn't resist!"
"Hmph!"
Shadow grinned,
"Aww~, are you going to ignore me?"
"BAKA!" Sonic exclaimed as he puffed up one of his cheeks and continued walking.
"We aren't in Japan Sonic~ but anyway..."
Shadow grinned and he grabbed Sonic from behind in a tight squeeze before letting go to make sure nobody saw it.
"You'll forgive me later~"
"Yea right! Jerk!" His face adapted a pouty type of expression. "You gave me a boner..." He mumbled under his breath sulkily.
Shadow laughed.
"Well I can't help it if I'm sexy" Shadow said as he struck a pose. "And besides; you deserved it: I'll never live that stupid ring tone down."
Sonic grinned evilly this time at the thought of it before his face turned blank again.
"YOU started it by throwing that eraser at me"
"What? You were the one day dreaming in class! And also, may I ask what you were blushing so much about during that daydream?"
Sonic's face flushed again.
He had been recalling a certain type of dream he'd had last night.
"Cough, cough; nothing"
"Mhmm~!"
They walked in silence for a bit as Shadow walked Sonic to his next class.
Before they stopped outside the classroom Shadow whispered to Sonic in his ear.
"Anyway, just meet me after school okay?"
He gave Sonic a pat on the head and turned to leave as Sonic glanced back at him before walking into the classroom.
Just what was Shadow planning?
After school Sonic walked up to the black hedgehog leaning against the wall, still grumpy about what had happened at lunch time.
"Ah, there you are! I was wondering if you weren't going to come" Shadow said as he opened his eyes and pushed off the wall smiling at the approaching hedgehog.
"I almost didn't" Sonic admitted icily at his boyfriend.
Shadow smirked and turned to the exit doors.
They walked out the door and onto the campus sidewalk, feeling the cold October air swirling around them.
Sonic had assumed that they were on their way to the Library as usual, and that's why he was surprised as Shadow continued to walk past the pathway towards it.
"Hey Shadow? The library is this way!"
Shadow smirked and looked back over his shoulder stopping in the middle of the sidewalk.
"We're not going to the library"
"Where are we going then?" He asked cautiously walking towards the black hedgehog.
Shadow grinned.
"Well~ aren't you the one always begging me to take you someplace? Seeing as it IS an anniversary, I thought we could just go on a date tonight. That is if you want to of course!" His facial expression turned concern as he had one of his rare moments of nervousness.
Sonic looked surprised for a moment then he burst into a large smile of excitement.
"You really mean it?" He asked as he ran up to the black hedgehog who nodded smiling softly, and chuckled as Sonic cheered excitedly before wrapping his arm around his own.
"Come on then; I'm sure you'll want something to eat first."
Sonic grinned up at him excitedly
"You know me too well"
Shadow smirked.
"That IS my job. "Come on"
Shadow grabbed Sonic's hand and started gliding at super speed towards the city, Sonic running behind him.
They skidded to a halt in the middle of Station Square surrounded by tall skyscrapers and businesses and flashing lights and neon signs and people.
"So, what did you have planned?" Sonic asked as he looked around excitedly at all the noise and light and activity.
"I was actually thinking a movie: Inception is supposed to be very good."
"Coolness! You know; I actually haven't been to the movies lately" Sonic said ponderingly scratching his chin as he thought about it before smiling back up at Shadow who smirked and linked his arm before pulling him away.
"Good; now let's get you fed before you waste all my money on all that movie candy."
Shadow led him to a nice looking restaurant and as they sat in one of the window booths, and after Sonic had quickly scanned the menu when Shadow wasn't looking, Sonic felt his sweat drop and decided to order the very least expensive thing on the menu: the shrimp.
'Shadow is being awfully nice' Sonic thought idly, and suddenly he felt the usual flash of guilt that he felt whenever he thought he was being a bother, but his thoughts were interrupted as the waitress popped up, giggling before she introduced herself., mainly looking at Shadow, and eyeing Sonic suspiciously.
'Whore!' was Sonic's thought as she unmistakably leaned forward showing off her cha-chas over her clipboard.
"Hello and welcome to Chloe's, I am Cassandra, is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'll just get a Sprite and a salad, what would you like Sonic?" Shadow said dismissing the waitress, and turning to Sonic considerately.
"Um, I'll have a coke and shrimp" Sonic said almost shyly; should he had just ordered a salad? He thought guiltily.
But Shadow was smirking at him as if he'd just done something amusing, and the waitress looked from one hedgehog to the other before walking of huffily, just realizing something;
"Why do all the cute guys have to be gay?" She mumbled to one of her girlfriends behind the counter who'd been looking over at Sonic and Shadow interestedly.
'Because of ugly COWS like YOU!' Sonic thought bitterly and he glared towards her back, and Shadow smirked after her, amused at the comment now, before turning back to Sonic his smirk still stuck on his face.
"What?" Sonic asked looking around curiously as to what Shadow was staring at.
Did he have something on his face?
Shadow shook his head.
Sonic was amusing; Shadow had seen the look of guilt flash behind his eyes as he'd ordered.
He had a tendency to do that: to always think about what another person wanted more than what HE wanted. He was so used to being independent; to being responsible for other people; all the world saving and risking his life to protect people was making him completely selfless.
Shadow grinned behind his hand; not that he had anything to worry about where he was concerned: it's okay to be selfish sometimes.
"SO, how was your day at school? No more boners for the rest of the day?" He asked teasingly as Sonic's face flushed.
"I'm still sorta mad about that!" Sonic retorted just as the waitress came back with the sodas. "That was so embarrassing!"
Shadow nodded thanks for his soda and grinned at Sonic,
"You didn't think it was so embarrassing when you were begging for more~"
Sonic's face went darker.
"I was NOT begging for it, you asked if I did"
"Oh but that's verbally; you were begging for it in other ways~"
"So now you're a body language specialist?" Sonic mumbled embarrassedly.
Shadow smirked.
"Only for you hun."
Sonic had a face palm.
"Arg! That was so corny and cheesy it was gay" Sonic said mimicking the waitress who was currently in the back getting their order and making Shadow give a low chuckle.
"Well, isn't that what we are; A gay couple?" He asked smirking, but Sonic gave a noncommittal shrug, unfazed.
"I prefer the term eccentric, but okay; yes we are."
"Ahh, I see; so we're an 'eccentric' couple?"
"Well, I'M eccentric; you not so much: you're too boring."
"Tck! I am NOT boring! I am simply impassive!"
"What ever you say~. Cough, boring! Cough!"
"Hmph!"
Shadow took his straw and ripped off one end of the paper, and blew the other one off so it hit Sonic, square on the forehead as he'd laughed, and Shadow smirked at his surprised expression.
Sonic spat his tongue out at him childishly as he sipped more of his soda.
"Hmm~ I should have asked if they had coffee... I doubt it though." Shadow said as he eyed his drip before taking a slow sip.
Sonic shook his head.
"You and your coffee! I should make you go to rehab."
Shadow smirked.
"You're one to talk; you're more addicted to chilidogs than I am to coffee. Hmm, If only they had grape here" He said eyeing his soda distastefully.
"Why'd you get a sprite if you knew you wouldn't like it?"
Shadow smirked.
"Why did YOU order the shrimp if you knew you wanted the steak?"
Sonic's eyes widened and he blushed looking down, suddenly interested with the table sipping his soda so he wouldn't have to answer.
Shadow raised an eyebrow and he leaned his elbows on the table, holding his head in his hands, still smirking at Sonic.
"Well?"
Sonic shrugged and didn't meet his eyes. And Shadow's smirked softened as he poked the back of Sonic's hand which was lying on the table.
"You shouldn't feel guilty; I appreciate your consideration, but I'm the one who invited you, right? Just relax and enjoy it okay?"
Sonic looked up at him wide eyed, but soon the moment was ruined but that God forsaken waitress!
"Here are your orders sirs!" She said falsely cheerfully as she popped out of nowhere.
When her back was turned Sonic spat his tongue out at her childishly, making Shadow laugh.
Sonic picked up a shrimp and cleared his throat comically.
"Ah my tasty shrimp,
You were caught some place at sea,
Now you will be eaten.
Haiku by Sonic!"
Shadow snorted as Sonic ate.
"How poetic!"
"I know! Isn't it? I have epicness coming out of my fingers!"
"Hmmm; if you say so. Why not do one about salad then, Mr. Poetic?"
"Okay;
Ugly, green, tasteless leaves,
You are very unappetizing,
Go find someone else's plate."
Shadow laughed.
"You messed up on the last one: that's 6 not 5."
"Phooey! I know, why don't YOU make one?"
"Hmmm, alright:"
He looked out the window towards the darkening sky as he pondered.
"Shining city lights,
Why do you block out the stars,
With your endless glow"
"Dude; that was deep!"
Shadow smirked,
"And so apparently is your appetite." He said as he looked down at Sonic's empty plate.
Sonic grinned sheepishly, and Shadow called the waitress over for the bill. At the sight of the little black book Sonic still felt a spark of guilt.
He would have to make it up to him later, He thought.
"Come on then, Sonic," Shadow said getting up from the booth after the waitress had come back with the receipt. "We better get going"
Sonic grinned and hopped out of his seat, following the black hedgehog out.
Shadow pointed down the sidewalk,
"The theaters just down there, so there's no need for super speed" He said smirking; Sonic had just been about to challenge him to a race.
Shadow said they had a few minutes until the movie started so they settled for a slower pace, chatting with each other animatedly.
"So, what do you do when you're not teaching?"
Shadow shrugged.
"That'll depend on the time and place, but probably reading"
"Well, I knew about that, but what about when you're not reading? What hobbies do you have?"
"Besides too many... Eh, there's art I guess, I can cook, exploring or camping or just travel in general, calligraphy is a new one, err swimming, skating, shooting/ archery, I can play most instruments, the piano, the violin and the erhu are my favorites; a lot."
"Wow, is there anything you CANT do?"
"Singing; I don't think I have a good singing voice"
"Somehow I'm finding that hard to believe, even if I have never heard you sing. Actually, I surprised that this one isn't up there: modeling."
Shadow looked gave him a look that said he was crazy
"Seriously? You'd think I would do modeling?"
"Hey! Don't go knocking it down; you, sir, are looking at the winner of Child Model of the Year: 3225 through 3230!"
Shadow laughed.
Why was he not surprised?
"Seriously; you actually were a child model?"
"Yup! I got the trophies at home to prove it!"
"Oh boy: I HAVE to see this. But I suppose at another time: the movie will be starting soon: come on"
He took Sonic's hand as led him through the doors of the theater, and handed the guy behind the booth their tickets before they were allowed in.
Sonic was suddenly glad they'd just eaten; because the line for snacks was horrible.
"So where do you want to sit?" Shadow asked him as they entered the dark theater room under the neon sign that said Inception 8:30.
"Ummm in the middle I guess"
When the movie had started Sonic was glad for his choice in seating, because down in front Sonic could hear people complaining about the mess a bunch of kids before them left.
Inception, as Shadow had heard, was a very good movie: plenty of action; a bit of mushiness, cool graphics, and Sonic actually liked how they ended with a sort of cliffhanger.
During the middle of the movie Shadow had put his arm around his shoulders, forgoing the old tradition of pretending to yawn and stretch:
That was on thing Sonic appreciated about him; he was direct and to the point, which was good for Sonic's impatience and short attention span.
Unconsciously he shivered a little as the air condition coupled with the fact it was October made for the theater to be freezing, and absentmindedly he snuggled in closer to the black hedgehog next to him, earning himself a tight one armed squeeze.
Sonic actually had a good time on their date. Despite the waitress and the cold he'd actually had some personal time with Shadow and learned something too: Always bring an umbrella
It was raining when Shadow and Sonic got outside.
"Darn! I hate water" Sonic exclaimed as he pulled his jacket tighter around him to protect himself from the cool October night air. "Thank you for taking me out Shadow" Sonic said giving him a peck. "I had a real great time" He grinned up at Shadow, preparing himself mentally by calculating the fastest way to run home, but before he could get away Shadow had grabbed him up smirking, and broke off into a super speeded glide as he hover skated through the city, making sure as little amount of rain water got on his blue lover as possible.
He laughed at Sonic's wide eyed stare of surprise.
Sonic could have easily gotten home on his own, but it was too much fun seeing his shocked and flustered expression.
Finally he skidded to a halt outside Sonic's house and had him at the door just as the rain started falling harder.
"You should warn me next time, you jerk" Sonic said ignoring Shadow's laugh at his flushed face. "But thank you"
Shadow nodded.
"You're welcome. Good night Sonic, I enjoyed your company"
"Hee, hee, don't you always? And Good night; Thanks for having me."
He looked around at the pouring rain and adapted a look of concern;
"You know, you might get sick if you go out in this weather: you could say here if you want"
Shadow smirked.
"What? So you can try and take advantage of me in my sleep? I don't think so"
He laughed at Sonic's expression and gave him a small kiss on the forehead.
"Goodbye Sonic"
"Yea, bye"
In a flash Shadow was gliding down the street again at super speed through the wind and rain to the other side of town to his home.
He was cold and wet at the moment, but he was still very much satisfied: they would definitely have to do this again some time.
