Chapter one

I need you

It was a sunny morning in Mobius.

Shadow was still asleep until he heard lots of movement in the room next to his. He gave off a groan and he opened his eyes, immediately closing them from the blinding light.

"I'm sorry, did I wake you?"

Shadow sat up and rubbed his eyes, shaking his head, "no," he answered the blue hedgehog, Sonic.

Sonic walked over to him and sat down beside him, pulling him in for a kiss that meant 'good morning.'

Shadow returned the kiss and he pulled away with a smile, "going somewhere?" he questioned.

"Yeah. I need to get some shopping done."

Shadow blinked a couple of times, "why's that?"

"Oh that's right! I never told you yet," he said, "we're doing the party all over again today."

Shadow was still confused and Sonic chuckled, "you know the one you ruined!"

"Oh, that one," he said, "whoops."

Sonic burst into laughter and he shook his head, "AW don't worry about it. It's alright because now you can meet all of my friends!"

"Great!!" Shadow said not amused at all, "and that means I'll be ignored by you." he crossed his arms.

Sonic chuckled a little and he grabbed Shadow quickly and nuggied his head, "don't worry! I'll make it up to you tonight!"

"Good!" Shadow said and he smiled, 'you better!"

"Promise!" Sonic exclaimed and he pinned down the black hedgehog back on the bed, pressing his lips onto his once again.

Shadow closed his eyes and he returned the kiss, a moan escaping from his throat.

Sonic pulled away with a smile and he watched as Shadow sat back up again, "well," he started, "I better go!"

Shadow remained silent for a few seconds and he opened his mouth to speak, "his body wasn't found," he said quietly and Sonic stopped midway out the door, frowned and he faced him, "could that mean…"

"Don't!" he ordered gently and he walked up to Shadow, "hey, we shot him and burned him, he's dead," Sonic placed a hand Shadow's cheek and Shadow placed his hand over his, "alright?"

Shadow didn't answer, he just looked down at the scars that were on his legs, but Sonic quickly covered them with his hand, "Sonic…" he said slowly and he closed his eyes.

"He wont come back, I promise! Alright?" Sonic reassured and Shadow nodded, "good," he said with a soft and comforting smile and kissed Shadow's cheek.

Shadow opened his eyes and he forced a smile.

"You're living a normal life now, you don't have to worry about Yasha anymore or anyone else from the Devil's sons."

"I know," he said in a very low tone that not even Sonic could hear.

"He's been dead for weeks, 2 or 3 at the most, he's not returning, I promise! And if he does, you can bet I'll be there to protect you! You're strong, Shads. You're not wear so don't say you are otherwise."

"But I feel it," he said after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, "I rely on others to much and one day there's going to be no one left for me to rely one."

"Shadow, you don't rely on others to much and even if you did who cares!" Sonic exclaimed with a smile full of hope and confidence.

"I wanted you to kill Yasha for me, Sonic. And now…now I feel like a part of me just used you."

Sonic shook his head as tears formed in his eyes, "No! you never used me and you didn't! and even if you did I don't feel like I was used. I feel lucky and I'm glad even if you did. Want to know why? Because if you used me I never would've felt the way I do right now."

Shadow, again, nodded while tears formed in his eyes and they streamed down his face, "I…I don't know how to thank you!"

"Don't," he whispered to him an rubbed Shadow's tears away with a smile, "Shadow, do you need me? Do you want me to stay by your side and protect you, no matter what happens?"

Shadow thought about his answer and he removed Sonic's hand from his cheek and placed it near his mouth, kissing it, "yes," he answered, "I need you."
