Sonic the Hedgehog thought college life at Evergreen University would be all about track meets, late-night pizza runs, and breezing through classes with his usual carefree charm. But everything changes when a chance encounter in the library leads him to Shadow the Hedgehog-a mysterious and aloof student with a reputation for keeping people at arm's length. At first, their meeting is anything but smooth: a spilled coffee, a sarcastic remark, and an intense stare that Sonic can't quite shake off. Despite their differences, fate-or perhaps sheer stubbornness-keeps pulling them into each other's orbit. From late-night study sessions to unexpected team-ups during campus events, Sonic begins to see the vulnerable side of Shadow hiding beneath his tough exterior, while Shadow finds himself drawn to Sonic's infectious energy and relentless optimism. {This was a requested story from my Discord gang!}
