Again and Again

Together

         Shadow made a note to himself to get more blankets and a proper bed or futon for Amy. Amy almost begged Shadow to keep his futon, saying that she was used to sleeping on the floor.

But they made a deal, they will alternate each night and that was the only way Amy agreed on sleeping on the futon.

Unfortunately, it was hard these days to get things around. Amy would be lucky enough of Rouge was able to get her some clothes.

But now, there was not too much to think about. Only Shadow watching Amy sleep like a saint. Maybe she actually was.

For a moment, he imagined himself cuddling with her, sleeping peacefully.

He shook his head side to side, making his desires and thoughts go away.

"WAKE UP!"

Shadow screamed making Amy jump from her sleep.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!", Amy screamed back at Shadow who only threw a white shirt and sweat pants to her face.

"I am taking you to the river so you can take a bath,"

"Oh, great! I knew you were civilized enough to bath," Amy stretched as the sunlight shone on her face. Shadow was at awe, and couldn't believe she was so beautiful.

A few seconds passed, in which Amy noticed Shadow looking at her directly. "Do I have something on my face?"

Shadow reacted quickly, he had been caught," You are so ugly."

"Well, we are here," Shadow said.

Amy couldn't believe that after the war, a pretty place liked this existed. She could hear the birds tweeting, smell the flowers, and feel the softness of the grass on her feet as she took off her boots.

Shadow smiled to himself as Amy's eyes shone by the beauty of the river.

"I'll leave you by yourself then, I'll prepare breakfast," Shadow said as he turned around to leave.

She smiled and nodded as she watched Shadow walk away.

Shadow arrived home feeling more enthusiastic, which was strange for him. He was motivated and happily began to cook.

Whistling, Shadow set up to cut the vegetables and fruits.

Now that Amy knew about his feelings for her, he wasn't afraid of anything.

Amy even accepted his feelings, and possibly accepted them as well.

Life was going too well.

Way too well.

"Good morning handsome!"

Rouge entered through the door, big smile and seductive eyes like always.

"Good morning, would like you something to eat?", Shadow asked and Rouge was at awe.

Shadow was never liked this. In all the time knowing him, he had never asked her if she wanted food nor greeted her so enthusiastically with a 'Good morning'

The magic of love.

"Yes, please. Can you make some extra for Sonic? He is on his way," Rouge sat down on the dinner table getting a nice view of Shadow preparing breakfast.

"Where is he by the way?", Shadow began cutting more fruit.

"He went to the river to-"

Before she could finish her sentence, Shadow ran as fast as he could towards the river.
