~•Shadow the hedgehog x Depressed Reader•~✔

•Chapter 18•

"Calm down its okay..." Shadow said trying to calm your nerves.

You stared blankly at Shadow's actions and blushed softly. Shadow averted his eyes and started to blush as well. Shadow started to hug you a bit tighter and closed his eyes. You noticed how Shadow started to hug you tighter, it felt nice to be wrapped in a warm embrace with the ebony hedgehog.

You slowly start to hug back and put your head into his neck. Shadow noticed this and looked at your slumped over body on his with your arms wrapped around his waist. Shadow closed his eyes and kept hugging you and you did the same.

You both stayed in that position for what felt like an hour but was only 10 minutes. Shadow let go of you and looked at you.

"Are you okay now..?" Shadow said in and annoyed voice, trying to hide the feeling he actually liked the hug.

You nodded your head and looked at the ebony hedgehog once again. He stood up and walked away, leaving you alone in your thoughts. You sat there and blushed about what had just happened between you and the hedgehog you liked since you were a kid.

"Shadow the hedgehog hugged me to make me feel better.... Is this even the real Shadow? Cause the Shadow I know doesn't care about anyone but himself." You thought to yourself.

You walked into the living room to find Shadow on the couch with his eyes closed. As you look at the dark hedgehog you think to yourself and walk away, not wanting to bother the hedgehog.

You slowly walked to your room and closed the door a bit. Shadow heard you and opened one of his eyes. He noticed you were gone and he smiled to himself. As Shadow was about enjoy the silence that he got, it was interrupted when Sonic cane in.

"Hey Shadow! What's up! " Sonic said while giving him a toothy grin.

"....Do you ever shut up? " Shadow said with and annoyed tone.

"So..uhh... What did you and (Y/N) do while I was gone?" Sonic said with a smirk on his face.

Shadow looked at him and gave him a 'Shut the hell up' face.

•Time Skip to night time•

You slowly opened the door to room and walked out into the living room. You see Sonic asleep on the couch, snoring like a baby.  You see Shadow by the doorway to the kitchen. He opens his eyes and looks at you. You quietly walk toward him and start to talk.

"Hey Shadow....um.. C-can you um.. Sleep with me in my room tonight..?" You ask with a light tint of pink in your cheeks.

He looks at you in surprise and looks at your blushing face.

"N-not to make it weird or anything!" You whisper yell.

He smiles and nods slightly, giving you a warm feeling.

You grab his hand and pull him to your room. You let go of him and you lay down on your bed and slowly drift to sleep.

•Smol Time Skip•

Your fast asleep and warm in bed. Shadow just watches your chest slowly rise up and down. Without thinking, Shadow walked over to the edge of your bed and sits down. He looks over at you and lays down next to you.

"Sleep well (Y/N).." Shadow whispered.
