My Caring Evil Twin

Chapter Six

-Sonic's heart sank after seeing Shadow outside his door. Shadow had his eyes narrowed and his arms crossed. "Well?"
"Well what?" Sonic kept the door open to where only part of his face showed. He never liked inviting his friends over to his small little house mainly because of Fleetway, but he made an excuse by saying it was too small to have any company over. With Shadow here now he was too scared to reveal his hut to him.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Shadow asked.
-Sonic looked back over at Fleetway. He had curled up and covered his entire body in the blanket. God dammit! You can't even move, can you?
"No!" Fleetway replied. "Get him out of here!"
-Sonic turned back at Shadow and smiled awkwardly. "Can't do that!"
"And why not?"
"Uh---because!" Shadow had one eye narrowed as he waited for Sonic's reply. "It's a mess! Can't have my favorite rival see this disgusting place!" Sonic prayed that Shadow would believe him as he snorted and rolled his eyes.
"Then can you come out here?"
"Yes, I can definitely do that!" He quickly got out and shut the door behind him so Shadow couldn't see anything.
"What's going on with you?"
"Why do you ask so many questions?" Sonic retorted.
-Shadow nodded and handed Sonic a pink envelope. "Rouge sent me to give you this."
-Sonic took the envelope and examined it. "What's it for? It's not more money is it? I don't need more people giving me money out of pity."
-Shadow made a confused look and shook his head. "Rouge wants to throw a party next month and she wanted you there especially."
KU-THUNK!!!
"Ah! Son of a bitch!"
-Sonic whipped his head around. Fleetway! What happened!?
"What was that?" Shadow started walking to the door but Sonic placed his back on the it.
"Nothing! Something must have fell!"
"You're acting weird, and that's saying a lot."
"Shadow, please---" Shadow had moved Sonic out of the way and opened the door. Sonic quickly followed and looked at Fleetway. He was lying on the ground with his ears flattened. What happened!?
"I panicked and I fell!" Fleetway sat up and started rubbing his back. 
-Sonic ran over by Fleetway as Shadow started looking around. "Thought you said this place was a mess."
-Sonic straightened. "It is!" He pointed at the blanket that had fallen on the ground as well. "That's...that's out of place and..." He looked at the table. "I haven't...set my papers down neatly!"
-Shadow didn't seem to hear as he looked at the papers and spread them apart to examine them. "Spinal fracture?"
"Uh---That's good information to know...since we're always doing dangerous stuff," He flattened his ears as Shadow picked up the sketch of Fleetway.
"What is this?"
-Sonic perked his ears and moved a little in front in Fleetway. "That is...one of my forms!"
-Shadow flicked his left ear and looked at Sonic without turning his head. "Which one?"
"Uhhh...that is..." He looked down and Fleetway and back at Shadow. "Fleetway Super Sonic! That's what I call it."
"It?" Fleetway snorted.
-Cut me some slack! He cuffed his hands around his back as Shadow set the paper down. 
"How does Fleetway Super Sonic commence?"
"Why do you need to know?" Sonic sneered.
"Just seems right. I know how all your other forms start, and what about this?"
-Sonic jumped when Fleetway grabbed his leg. He was shaking. "It hurts!"
-I know! I know! Give me a second. I'll get him out. Sonic pulled his leg out of Fleetway's grip and crossed over his left. "It forms when...I'm scared or...about to die."
"That explains why I never saw it," Shadow huffed. He looked around one more time and sighed. "Guess I bothered you enough," He started walking out the door.
"Bothered me enough?" Sonic twitched his right ear in annoyance. "What do you mean by that?"
-Shadow stopped at the door but he didn't look back. "You know Rouge. She wanted to know if i can actually annoy you like how you annoy me."
"Hey!" Sonic then chuckled. "Guess that makes you the real faker!"
-Shadow growled and walked out the hut. As he was closing the door, he took one last glance at Sonic. "Good day," The door shut and Sonic could hear his footsteps fading into silence.
-Sonic then immediately grabbed Fleetway and set him back on the bed. Do you feel worse?  Fleetway shook his head. He pulled away from Sonic and laid himself down. What's wrong?
"Nothing. I'm tired," He turned on his side and reached for the blanket on the floor.
-Sonic sighed and grabbed it for him. I know how to get you heal somewhat faster now. He set the blanket over Fleetway. Right now you just need bed rest and do some small physical activity. I can worry about the pain relieving medicine.
"What physical activity? I can barely move!"
-Tails said Pilates is good. It's basically like exercising while lying down. He sat down on the bed and let his quills hit the wall. I shouldn't have begged you to get that stupid emerald. 
"Nah it's fine," Fleetway assured. "You wouldn't be doing this now if you hadn't."
-Sonic looked at the clock on the wall. It was already passed noon. He set his hand on Fleetway's side and grined. Yeah, I guess it's kind of nice. Manic and Sonia are never around anymore so it's nice to have a brother with me.
"So, about that party," Fleetway turned his head and looked up at Sonic. "Do you think I'll heal by next month?"
-Of course. If you're anything like me that is. Sonic smirked.
-Fleetway narrowed his eyes and grined. "I'm more you than you are!"
-All right, let's not get too carried away. Sonic giggled. He got up and walked over to his food cabinet. He opened it and his ears drooped. "I have to go out and get more food soon," He grabbed an apple and went back over to give it to Fleetway.
-Fleetway sat up and took the apple from. He took a bite out of the apple and wiped to juice from his mouth. "You really do," He coughed and patted his chest. "You spoke out loud."
"Yeah," Sonic decided now since they were alone he might as well actually talk to him. "All that speaking with my thoughts is starting to hurt my head," He went back and got himself a small bag of Chiz Curls. He closed the cabinet and sat down in the chair as he opened the bag. "Do you think I should get at least a part-time job?"
"I mean...you don't want your friends giving you money do you?"
-Sonic shook his head. "I don't even know what I can do. Just getting rewards for defeating bad guys won't last forever, and it's not like it happens every week."
"Maybe..." Fleetway was silent for a moment. He coughed again and took another bite of the apple. "Just work as a waiter at a restaurant. At least the people won't complain about you taking too long."
-Sonic chuckled. "I guess I'll look for a restaurant that'll hire me then," He grabbed the paper Tails had written on and looked at the list of different pain relieving medicines. "It'll help to have more money to buy these medicines for you."
-Fleetway took the last bite of the apple and shot the core into the trashcan. "I'll heal faster than you think. I may be able to walk a little tomorrow."
