Enjoy! I don't own any of the characters! This is sorta based on what I'm going through right now, so no flames please :)
'I hate myself, I really do, one minute we're locked in combat, the next I'm sparing his life! Now all I can think about are those emerald eyes and azure fur, and why do I have such a painful gut ache? I have so many questions and no answers, its like trying to find my past all over again. I feel so weak and shaky but also...warm and...fuzzy? What the fuck is wrong with me?!'
"Rouge!" Yelled the deep masculine voice that almost always sounded like a low growl, but this time, it sounded somewhat weak "yeah whats up?" Rouge, Shadows best friend replied, peering around Shadow's bedroom door, he was sitting at his tidy desk in front of the computer G.U.N gave to them. Shadow had his head in his hands, not bothering to look up at Rouge, but still acknowledging her presence "come in, I need to ask you something" he moved one arm, still keeping his face hidden, and motioned her to sit on the double bed. The door closed behind her as the white bat did as was motioned, sitting cross legged on the edge of the black gothic looking bed, facing Shadow "what is it, I'm a busy woman" "...what...what is love Rouge? And how does one know when they are 'in love'?" Shadow turned in his spinning desk-chair, facing Rouge, his face dead serious, as for Rouge, she seemed stunned from Shadow's questions, but stuttered "l-love is an immense feeling, its stronger then any feeling, but hurts just the same, some people just know their in love, others discover it in other means, such as; feeling weak around said person, butterflies in stomach, light-headed, feeling faint, painful gut..." Rouge continued listing symptoms, but Shadow and stopped listening at 'painful gut' 'so I am in love then...i must find out more about love.. oh, Rouge has stopped talking?' Shadow's mind was racing so fast he hadn't noticed his friend had stopped talking and was waiting for an explanation "OK, you can go now Rouge" as Rouge closed the door behind her, she heard a small sigh "I hope your OK shadow, we don't want a repeat of Maria" she whispered to herself, shutting the door completely and walking down the hall to her own bedroom.
Sonic was sat in the garden at the back of the mansion he shared with all of his friends (including Shadow). His arms resting on the back of the marble seat, his head back, he was staring into space, his mind focused on the ebony hedgehog 'why? Why did he spare my life, when he was so close to killing me, he held back, maybe its because he would loose his 'fighting buddy' oh I don't know' "Sonic! Sonic help!" Sonic suddenly jumped up, looking for the one crying for help "Sonic duck now!" "wha- Whoa!" Sonic fell backwards as Tails' malfunctioning Tornado just shot over him, missing him by milliseconds before slamming into a tree. "Ugh" moaned the kitsune as he slid out of his battered airplane, he looked up Sonic, but the azure hedgehog was staring into space, or so Tails thought, until he noticed that his best friend was staring at Shadow, who was at his window, returning the gaze. "Um Sonic? C-can I have a hand please?" "oh, sorry, sure!" Sonic dashed over to Tails, placing an arm around his back, Tails' arm around the back of Sonic's neck "Sonic are you gay?" burst out Tails' causing Sonic to drop him in shock. The azure's pale mussel begin to turn pink "NO!" and with that, Sonic took off, leaving Tails lying on the grass, smoke emitting from the engine of his plane and as stunned as a rabbit caught in headlights.
Shadow had Riot by Three Days Grace blasting at full volume from his stereo as he lied on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He reached around on his bed until he grabbed the stereo remote, pressing the next button, the song changed into The Last Resort by Papa Roach. With a sigh, he sat up and turned off the stereo, nothing could take his mind off of Sonic, or the fact that he took at least 15 quizzes that all confirmed his worse nightmare: Shadow was indeed, in love. But what made things worse, was he had no idea how Sonic felt, yes OK they may have caught each other staring at one-another but that doesn't confirm anything right? At least that's what Shadow thought anyway.
There's more on the way, but at the moment I'm working on a you-tube video for a friend of mine, so that comes first! :D
