A heavy sigh echoed throughout the long halls as Shadow locked the door behind him.

It was depressing days such as these that made him question his existence.

Today was...Maria's birthday and where he was headed to was the graveyard. However, as soon as he arrived near the elevator he stopped and pondered, unsure if whether visiting Maria was a good call.

The last time he went tears were shed for two weeks straight and nightmares that overcame him while he slept haunted him to no end. Thankfully though, his rival somehow managed to cheer him up.

"No..." He decided.

"I can't keep doing this to myself. I /must/ move on. The past is the past and you can only move forward towards the future."

'Grrrr....easier said than done...'

Seeing as it was gonna rain soon, instead, he speed walked towards a nearby coffee shop which he always stopped by whenever he was feeling emotions such as anger and sadness.

Sipping on his coffee he stared out the window in a daze until a sudden tap sound snapped him out of his trance.

He turned around with a glare on his face ready to scare the person off but calmed down when his eyes immediately caught sight of a pair of green eyes and blue quills.

"Greetings, faker. Have you come here to ruin my peace just for the fun of it or has the world gone in peril once more?"

The blue hedgehog rubbed the back of his neck and snickered.

"Thankfully no. Eggman is now in the custody of the police. Finally we can chillax after soo long!" He yawned out.

"tch..yes, finally. Now have you come to get coffee or have you just come to make silly small talk?" He growled out, clearly not in the mood to deal with any crap tonight.

As he said this, his rival's uplifting attitude suddenly vanished and what replaced it was a serious expression with eyes that looked to be full of concern.

"I know what day it is today, everybody knows it. I....just wanted to check up on ya. Even if you may not think the same Shads, I consider ya a friend." He said with a sad smile."

"I don't want your pity hedgehog. Goodnight."

"Shads-"

Not wanting to hear another word from him, the ebony hedgehog got up and was about the head towards home until something unexpected happened.

Lifting his hand to his face, he brushed his fingers lightly against his cheeks and it didn't take him a second to realize that he was silently sobbing.

"Damn emotions...hmh!"

He jumped in surprise as he felt warm arms wrap tightly around his body from behind.

"Shads...you're not alone. Please remember this forever."

He wanted to turn around and ram his fist into the faker's face, but instead of his body resisting, he felt himself lean into the blue hedgehog's touch.

"Shads, heroes can cry too ya know..." The faker whispered.

After a few long silent moments, his facade broke...and yet again....

he cried for her.
