Sonadow:Not Every Story is Happy#Wattys2016

Safe and Sound

(Shadow POV)

"How come you can't drive Sonic?" I clutched my broken arm, close to my chest. Sonic did a shy chuckle and rubbed the back of his head.

"I can answer that. He failed his driving test multiple times. He likes to drive fast." Uncle Chuck looked at us from the rear-view mirror. I couldn't help but smile at Sonic as he blushed from embarrassment.
We hit a bump on the road causing me extreme pain.

"A-are we close yet...?" It hurts but I have had worse.

"Yeah, We're about to pull in. Sorry for the bump.." I just nodded and held my arm close. I just sighed.

We got a parking spot and now we were waiting for me to get in. Sick people, people with broken bones and others were all waiting. Hopefully we can get in soon.

(Sonic POV)

Finally after a few hours, Shadz got a cast on his arm. He picked a emerald green, like the color of my eyes. Shadow just smiled as I blushed. Sighing, we were finally able to get home. I lead Shadow up to my room, trying to find some pjs that would fit him. Something that would keep his scars hidden. The doctors almost caught him and so did my uncle. I want to help him or get him help but he refuses. I tossed clothes in his face as I found something that fits him and got something for me. Facing away from him, I changed as he did. I sighed as I turned back to him, seeing all of his scars. Sighing, I sat next to him on the bed. He rested his head on my shoulder. I made him lay down, till his head was resting on my lap. I smiled as Shadow slept soundly, he looked like a child. I messed with his hair till I slowly fell to sleep.

It was nearly five in the morning when I woke up. I almost had a panic attack before I realized where I was. A sudden movement on my chest forced me to calm myself, seeing a certain blue head. I sighed and slowly slide out of bed. I tried to walk down the stairs as quietly as I could, Only to find Uncle Chuck in the living room, watching the news. He sipped coffee as he heard me in the doorway.

"Oh, Hello Shadow." He smiled at me and motion me over. I slowly walked over. "How come you are up so early?" I sat next to him.

"I don't know, Why are you?" I was actually a little curious. Why was we up so early.

" Heh, Old age I guess, I've been waking up early since I was young." He rubbed my head and continued to drink his coffee. We listen to the tv for awhile before he spoke again. "You and Sonic are pretty close, huh?" I gave a blushed a tad, knowing my 'close' relationship with Sonic.

"Yes, Sir.. Sonic was my only friend when I first came here." I looked at my cast that had the signatures of Sonic and his family.

"You sure it's just a close friend? You seem closer." He just looked at me, causing me to get nervous. Does he not approve of me? Is he going to tell I'm not allowed to talk to him or see him? If he was, I was about to panic and maybe break down right there.

"No.. Just f-friends.." He put an arm around me and squeezed. I was confused and looked up at him.

"You don't have to lie to me son. I know you'll take care of him. I accept you dating him, he really loves you. I notice it." He just smiled, and I gave a true smile back. I sighed and felt so much emotion hit me at once, I forced myself to keep it hidden. I just slowly relaxed in his arms and fell asleep. I felt safe in this house, felt safe with this family.
