I was a little bit confused. Why did he leave? I shrugged it off as shyness. I finished my breakfast and picked up my suitcase to unpack.

I walked up the stairs. They were the color of rich mahogany, which contrasted nicely with the champagne wallpaper. I saw a hall in front of me. Three doors were in that hall. Two were on the left on one at the end. Each door was about 10 feet apart. I checked the first one on the left. It was the master bedroom. It had a big bed, the covers were brown with white pillows. A mirror was suspended on a vanity. I shrugged and walked forward. The next room had two twin beds. One was purple and pink, the other was a grey and blue color. This must've been Tails and Cream's room.

I walked up to the last door. I put a gloved hand on the door and twisted the knob. A familiar click resounded. I slowly pushed open the door and walked in cautiously. The hedgehog was no where to be found. I looked at all the posters of various bands. I strummed a guitar he had in the corner. His walls were painted a dark scarlet. The carpet was a black color, and a black dresser stood beside his queen sized bed. And beside that, an open window. I walked to the window and looked out. Did he sneak out? I then was pulled back by two hands. He was hiding. And now he had me pinned to the wall. I struggled under his grip. "Shadow, what are you doing?" I asked, confused.

He then sniffed my quills. His aromatic fur was close to my nose as well. I blushed and was frozen on the spot. "Why are you sniffing me?" I asked. He took a step back, a worried look in his eye. "I'm.... I'm sorry, I.... I... I..." Shadow started. "Oh, it's ok. You have your reasons. It's ok, just as long as it's not harmful to me." I assured him. "You're.... Okay with that?" he asked. I nodded. "It's just a sniff. What's wrong with that?" I smiled nervously. "Then why are you blushing?" Shadow snickered, trying to hold in laughter. I covered my cheeks. "I... I am?" I asked sheepishly. He laughed and gave me a warm, friendly smile.

Later, me and Shadow were just hanging out in his room, discussing our favorite music. "I'm a fan of pop and instrumental music." I said. "I'll show you my favorite music." Shadow smirked as he got up and pulled up his guitar. He turned on the amplifier and the microphone. "Wait, wouldn't they be angry?" I asked. "Nah. I had this room sound-proofed." Shadow answered, clearing his throat.

He strummed an electric note, then he made a face of absolute fury. He growled and then what filled my head was probably the most awesome music ever.

Gutturals and screams filled the room as did his electric guitar melody. I think the song was a cover of 'Doki Doki Morning' by BABYMETAL. His growls were deep and screams were shrill. I loved it. By the time he was finished, my mouth was stuck in a state of bewilderment. He wiped the few flecks of his spit off his chin and microphone, and smiled at me. "Ok. Now I like screamo." I said, bewildered at my newfound love for this music genre. Just then, a feeling hit my head like a bullet. I think I have feelings for him. I can't really explain it... but he just... Feels like my perfect match. He laughed and scratched the back of his head. "I always thought it was a bit much." he chuckled. I snapped out of it and applauded. "I think you have tons of talent." I grinned. He smiled again with his pointy teeth sticking out. "That meant a lot to me, Sonic. Thank you." he said happily.

That night, I lied down in bed, Shadow next to me, school starting for me, being the new kid. It was all putting pressure on me. Literaly. Shadow's heavy, dammit. I felt his heart beat in his exposed chest on mine as he slept unaware that he was on top of me. His face.... So content. So.... Calm. I feel... Happy. Happy that he is happy. I wanna make him happy. But what if he doesn't like me back? What if he has a lover? I felt my head fill with questions as I drifted off to sleep.

A/N: I like this Shadow. I don't like making Shadow overly affectionate or mean. I just like to see him as a mean looking guy with a good heart. I also thought he'd make a good screamo singer. Tell me what you think in the comments below, and be sure to vote and follow me.
