In Black Doom's park, a fresh breeze mingled the acrid smell of war with the sweet aroma of cherry blossoms. Shadow and Sonic were ambling along the paths together (not that Sonic actually had much choice in that matter), both feeling the same odd mixture of apprehension and content that their strange situation brought with it.

At first, Shadow had taken the turns that led toward the little lake, but when Sonic very definitely had pulled at his restraint as soon as the water came in sight, the black hedgehog relented quickly, not trying to force his supposed slave again. Now the pair had reached the crest of a small hill instead and taken the opportunity to sit down in the grass, no words necessary as both at the same time had had the idea of watching the approaching sunset out here.

Shadow had Sonic's leash still slung loosely around his wrist where he leaned back on his hands, but the blue hedgehog scarcely minded. As the wind ruffled the fur on his head, a brightly orange and pastel-coloured sky above, all he could think of was how much he enjoyed the fresh air and the outside. Having lived as a pet of the castle for only a couple of days, Sonic shuddered inwardly at how it would be if he was a real slave and his Master would keep him chained up in the dark somewhere where he would never see the sun or feel the bite of a crisp autumn morning on his face...

Instead of this. It was simply wonderful to be able to sit here and share this beauty of nature with Shadow.

He also felt good that it wasn't even necessary to talk about it with him. Just by a look Sonic could discern that the other felt the same, liked the moment of silence in the chaos of their alternate dimensional life. Amy would probably be chattering right now, thought Sonic with a smile. Shadow is a nice change.

He saw the Ultimate Lifeform's hand resting next to him in the grass and briefly thought of taking it like he had just previously, but stopped himself. It was a bit too...kitsch. But then again, in terms of romance, Sonic really had no experience but shrieking fangirlism and a couple of horrible, sickly-sweet coupling movies Amy had dragged him to. He had of course come across porn as well, but somehow he doubted that that stuff was in any way more realistic than the chick-flicks.

And then, of course, there's the whole falling-for-a-guy thing. Yippee. Sonic let out a minor groan. So far, he had actually found girls attractive...scary as hell, yes, but attractive nonetheless. Only by getting close to Shadow he had started to think that there was a certain beauty about the black hedgehog, too...

Wonder whether that counts as extreme narcissism.

The blue hedgehog snorted mentally. It was confusing. Was it a phase, was he bi, or what? Thinking about it made his head hurt. And the only surefire way of finding out would either involve him getting his head ripped off by Shadow or starting some sort of relationship with him - and Sonic honestly couldn't decide which perspective sounded scarier.

Assuming that he even 'swings that way'.

But Shadow hadn't even had a girlfriend yet, right? Despite Rouge's best efforts, anyway. And if that relation with that Maria chick had really been just friends – if only because the alternative is really, REALLY icky, Sonic thought - then yes, there might be a chance.

A relationship with Shadow...with Sonic's movement currently restrained, his imagination started running wild, despite its owner's attempts to stop it. It was hard to suppress the memories of Shadow kneeling above him on the bed, the nightmares, the times when they had ended up in close contact...the hero of Mobius was horrified to notice his heart beating faster again, heat spreading through his body, centering below his belly...
