"We're going to what?" Rouge shouted in my ear.

"It's clear you two cannot work with the squad. You either drift off on your own or some other nonsense that ruptures the team. I understand that it gets the job done, but if something happened where we need the entire squad, you two would risk their lives by going off on your own," I had heard this all before. I could have ignored this lecture from the commander, expect this time he was interfering with my personal life, "So, in order for you to learn to fight as a squadron, we found a nice companion for you two to live with.

"He is to give us detailed reports on your behavior once a month. Your things have already been moved to the safe house. Your new companion will meet you there. Try not to kill each other, or him."

"I can't believe you! We completed all your dirty work and you're telling us we aren't good enough?!" Rouge growled.

"This is for the good of the squadron, it's not a matter of 'how good you are,'" He replied.

"We already have Omega," I interrupted, "we don't need another teammate."

"He's not a teammate," the commander began organizing his desk as he got up, "he's your housemate. Now I'm taking leave for the night. It's almost 2 am. A truck will take you two your new home in two minutes. Goodnight."

  He left and we were escorted by other agents to the truck.

"I already live with you, now I've got someone else to deal with," Rouge sighed, "and it's a he too. Why couldn't the commander pick a she."

"Stop whining about it," I growled, "It's not like I'm happy about this either."

"We're here."

  We got off to a large house. Stone patterned base to softwood and large windows. The truck left and we were stuck where we didn't want to be.
                                                                        
                                                                        
PoV: 3rd Person

  Shadow and Rouge walked into their house and were greeted immediately. A small blue hedgehog.

"Welcome home, Shadow, Rouge. I heard we'd be living together starting today so I wanted to welcome you," both agents stood in slight shock from the sudden greeting.

  Short, they thought as they looked at the now embarrassed hedgie in front of them.

"I-I made dinner for you. Since you were coming home late I... I thought it would be nice for you to come home to a hot meal," the azure hedgie began feeling more embarrassed about his actions, did I do something weird? I was just trying to be nice.

"It smells great," Rouge finally spoke up, "So, you're the one we'll be living with?"

"Y-Yes, my name is Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog," the azure hedgie bowed, "I just made some stew, I thought a homey meal would be best for our first night here."

"That sounds great actually," Rouge stated.

"I'll pass, I'm going to shower," Shadow walked past Sonic, no longer caring for his presence.

"The soap is in a basket by the door," Sonic informed him.

"Hmph," was Shadow's only statement.

"Don't mind Sunshine over there. He's like that with everyone," Rouge closed the door and hung her coat, "now about the stew."

"I'll pour you a bowl right away," Sonic left to the kitchen, guiding Rouge behind him.

  Is this really a he? Rouge thought as she waited for Sonic to set her plate, he acts like a housewife. She leaned back in her chair to get a better look at the hedgehog in the kitchen, slim waist, didn't think that was possible for a guy. Slender form, gentle eyes. I swear this kid could be a girl.

  She spotted some paperwork on the table. On it was all of Sonic's information. A form Sonic was filling out for G.U.N. He's 15! No way. Shadow's taller than he is. Hell Amy's about his height. I guess that is what makes him so cute. He's a bit of a sweetheart too, sweeter than sugar. Let's see... she continued reading, athletic, apparently. Running speed? I don't remember that on my form- this kid breaks the sound barrier! Who exactly did G.U.N get to be our roommate? Career, alright what does this kid do for a living- retired hero of Mobius... alright, I'm don't with this shit.

"Rouge... c-could you please not read that," Sonic asked as he placed the bowl down.

"Sorry, I just wanted to know a little about you. You can run quite fast, I'm a bit shocked," She smiled.

"Y-yeah. I was born with it," he answered, "here's dinner. Do you need anything else?"

"No, not at all. Aren't you going to eat?" Rouge asked as she noticed Sonic's return to the kitchen.

"Not at the moment, I'm just going to clean up a bit. I can eat in the morning," Sonic answered, "You can leave your dish in the sink. I'll wash it for you."

"You're doing an awful lot for us," Rouge got up and pulled Sonic back from cleaning the counter, "why don't you take off that apron and eat? It'd be nice to share a meal."

"A-alright then," Sonic blushed as he felt an unfamiliar softness against his shoulders.

  He removed his apron and Rouge sat him down. She poured him a bowl of the steaming stew and a bowl of rice like he did for her before.
                                                                        
                                                                        
PoV: Rouge

  I hated the idea of living with someone other than my soulmate, but Sonic, he was something else. sweet and just a friend. He even ate very neatly. He was deffiently nicer than Shadow.

"What are you going to be doing while were on missions?" I asked.

"I'll be taking care of the house, going on runs. I was going to get a job but gun told me my work is here. So maybe I'll get a few things to keep me busy," he answered.

"Here," I took his empty plate and he looked like he was going to panic.

"I can wash things up. There's a bath down here if you'd like to use it," he toiled ever plate to the sink, "I'll go start the water."

  He's too cute.

  I came down to find Sonic cleaning. Rouge came out in just a towel. I simply walked back to my room, I'm going to be living with idiots.
