Stuck Together

Ep 8

PoV: Sonic

I turned off the water to the shower and stepped out. The mark Amy left on my neck was still there from yesterday.

"How long do these things take to fade?" I sighed and I wrapped my towel around myself.

I dried myself off and changed. My cleaning was done, but Rouge and Shadow were on an overnight mission. I was alone in a big house.

"Well, I guess I can sleep in tomorrow," I pulled the covers down so I could climb into bed, "I hope you guys are safe. Come home safe alright."


--- Morning ---

It was a cold morning, and I was alone. I checked the cupboard for my last teabag, there was a new box.

'Keep Warm while we're gone,' It read.

"Thanks guys," I made myself a cup and sat on the couch as I woke up.

My day was almost entirely the same. I cleaned the house on my own, and went for my jog, made lunch. Shopped and came back home to cook dinner. I ate, took a shower and went to bed. It's kinda boring with no one home. Maybe I should find a show to watch?


PoV: Shadow

It was a stealth mission for a single night. Quiet kills and take outs. Everything was the usual. Rouge was hacking the computer as I stood guard, an image of Sonic alone tonight slipped into my mind. Ignore it, the house is protected with a high class security system.

"Shadow," Rouge handed me a hardrive, "I copied it twice. You know how these villains are. Give me the plans and you're free to go."

"Stop fooling around and let's go," I started the way back.

"I feel guilty. This is taking an extra day. Sonic's all alone at home," Rouge had been mentioning that since the mission was extended, "I'm spoiling him extra when we get home."

"Chaos woman, can't you spend a day without pulling him into your chest," I growled.

"You're just jealous you don't have a crush," she replied, "besides, Sonic will be even cozier with me when we get back. You know why."

"I don't, and I don't care," I kept walking.

"It's because he'll miss us, and my cupsize grew up one," there was no way to shut her up.

She bragged about the attention she gave Sonic constantly at work with the one agent named Topia, or Topaz, I didn't care to learn her name. It wasn't much the topic of Sonic that annoyed me, but how she talked about touching him. I didn't need to hear about a woman's body.

"Fuck, why are we walking back?" I grabbed her wrist, "Chaos Control!"

"Now you chaos control."

"We have the plans, give us the report papers so I can get the fuck out of here," I snapped.

"Aganet Shadow, that's no way to talk to your director," the Director came in and took the file from Rouge.

"Show me the security photage of our house yesterday and I'll show you some respect," I answered.

"What makes you want the photage-?"

"Just a hunch," I interrupted Rouge.

"What ever."

The photage showed Sonic safe and sound. I felt relief from a tension I never realized I had. I didn't like leaving Sonic alone over night. What the fuck is wrong with me?


PoV: Sonic

I woke up to a knock on the door.

"What time is it?" I yawned seeing the dark outside my window. I wrapped a blanket around myself and opened the door, "hello? Rouge! Shadow! Welcome home!"

I began cleaning up and started some water.

"Sonic I missed you so much!" Rouge hugged me, I could hardly breathe, "I'm going to spend all night spoiling you."

"I was thinking of making you dinner instead," I responded.

"You get to sit on my lap during dinner okay," she tied my apron around me.

"I-I'd really r-rather sit on a chair," I answered, starting to chop the tomatoes for pasta sauce.

"But I missed you so much. I feel guilty for leaving you alone. Please~?" She hugged me from behind.

"Alright," she does treat me with kindness, I shouldn't be rude to how she shows it.

"You can't go a day with out touching him can you?" Shadow asked.

"Not even a second," Rouge kissed my cheek and I felt my face heat up, "You're my little cutie."

I started mixing the sauce together, Rouge was taking her bath.

"Sonic," Shadow came into the kitchen.

"Yes."

"How was last night?" He asked.

"It was quiet," I answered, "I felt lonely without you guys around. Not so much cleaning to do."

"You know," I felt a hand on my head, "it felt strange leaving you alone."

"... i-it felt strange being alone," why is this making me feel so warm? He's never said anything like that to me before.

"Is there enough pasta for me to?" He asked.

"Yes, yes of course," I filled a third plate with noodles, "I-I always um.... I always make extra... i-in case you ever get... um... hungry."

"I promise to eat this time," he rubbed my ear, almost making me spill the sauce as I poured it onto the noodles.

"Y... yeah..."

What's going on with me?
