Sonadow:The Shapeshifter

Sonic: Do I Love Him?

Shadow brought me inside Tails' house and explained to me what happened over the past two years. He told me about the sky haven where he woke up at. The way he described it sounded like heaven! I listened with curiosity, smiling at one point when Shadow told me about a green cat and blue eagle that he met while there. Shadow introduced me to Alaric, a black lioness with a rainbow mane and Silverblood, a maroon fox with yellow eyes. I shook hands with them. I stared at Shadow as he started talking to Rouge. I saw something in his eyes. It seemed to be secrets. Shadow is hiding something for my friends and I, but what? I pushed the rising doubt away and focused on what's happening. Rouge and Shadow were just talking about G.U.N while I saw Alaric talking to Tails about something in the past. I looked over at Silverblood and he was leaning against the walls. I was about to walk over when I stopped. There was an evil glint in his eyes; he was just staring at all of us hatefully. I turned around slowly to find that Rouge was leaving. She shut the door after waving goodbye to us and the room fell silent. "Well, Alaric, Silverblood, I hope you don't mind sleeping down here on the couch" Tails said, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "Oh no, it's alright" Alaric said cheerfully. "Oh, ok" Tails said, relieved. "Sonic, I kept your room" Tails said, walking upstairs. "Thanks buddy!" I yelled up the stairs. Shadow was talking to Alaric when I turned around, and by the look on Alaric's face, it wasn't good.

I couldn't hear Shadow, but he was talking in a hushed, fast voice. He also kept on glancing at Silverblood, his back facing us. I stood back and strained my ears to listen to Shadow's and Alaric's conversation. I didn't pick up anything. I decided to interrupt their conversation since it's late. "Hey Shadster, we should probably get some sleep" I said, catching their attention. "Ok, but where will I be sleeping?" Shadow asked, looking at me questioningly. "In my room, I guess" I said. I immediately regret saying that and I mentally face palm myself. Shadow just shrugged and said ok. I was a bit taken aback, but I just pushed it aside right now. I walked over to Shadow and grabbed his wrist, dragging him with me upstairs. I didn't know what was going on with me. I felt like I was getting slightly angry at Alaric like as if i'm... jealous?! Why in the world would I be jealous of Alaric talking to Shadow? Shadow is just a friend, right? I push the thought away but I couldn't help but feel a bit overprotective of Shadow. What the hell is wrong with me?! I mentally slap myself to get out of this haze but I just can't. I walk to my bedroom door and opened it. I let go of Shadow's wrist letting him walk in without me yanking him along the way. "You can sleep on the bed if you want to" I suggested. Seriously, what the hell is happening with me? I'm giving Shadow the hedgehog, the 'Ultimate Lifeform' my bed? "No, it's alright. I can sleep on the ground" Shadow said, grabbing a spare blanket from my opened closet. "Are you sure?" I ask uncertainly.

"Yea, i'm fine" Shadow said, his voice becoming a bit louder because of my annoyance.My ears went down subconsciously. "Oh, o-okay" I said in a slight whisper. Shadow turned around and stared at me strangely but I didn't pay attention as I start to feel a small pain come to my chest. I grabbed a pillow from my bed and gave it to Shadow. Shadow grabbed it and laid it down. I climbed onto my bed and laid there on my back, staring at the ceiling. My lamp was still on. "Can you turn that off?" Shadow asked, anger lacing his voice. I jumped up and turned off the light. "Sorry" I whispered. I just get an angry sigh as a response. I had a window above my bed, the curtains hanging at the sides of the window pane. It was a full moon, so I could see the muscular figure of Shadow off to my right. I turned onto my side to examine Shadow a bit more. I just realized that Shadow was not wearing his black tank top and only had his snow camouflage pants on. I also now just realized that Shadow was wearing clothes. I looked at Shadow' back for a bit more. As his body steadily rose up and down, I started to think about my recent behavior. Whenever my mind went back to when I felt jealous, I always said that I didn't, but now, i'm accepting it. It's kind of the fact. But the thing that still confuses me is why was I so nice to Shadow?

I mean like, I know that i'm a nice guy and sometimes i'll be nice to Shadow, but this is something different. I'm being way to kind to him, like the kind of 'kind' that I would be towards Tails or Amy. It's weird. It's freaking me out. I stare at Shadow's peaceful sleeping body. Is there a way that I like him? I shook my head. There's no way that I like him! Never in a million years! But, then again, you were so nice to him. So why not like him? said a voice in my head. "Shut up" I said under my breath. Though I couldn't disagree with the voice in my head. It does have a point. I grabbed my pillow and shoved my face into it. I sighed heavily as I weighed my options. It's either that I do like Shadow or that I just want to be friends with him. No, you like him the voice said again. I groaned. Just let me think about this, alright? I'm just confused right now. I didn't know why I was talking to a random voice in my head but I was so, why not? Ok fine, but just telling you, in my opinion, you like him' it said. I sighed. Thank you. I stared at Shadow's back for a bit longer before closing my eyes. I fell asleep with only one question going through my head and an image of a certain black and red hedgehog. Do I love him?
