Okay so this is the start to my Shadow x Omega yaoi story. I hope you all like it and this time I do plan on replying to the reviews with every update, so please do review! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like the chapter :3
My eyes flickered to the ceiling of the cargo as the truck went over yet another bump. I hissed as my body flies into the air from the bump, and with my legs crossed makes it hard to stop myself from hitting my head on the ceiling before slamming my body back down to the cold steel flooring again. I wince, but other then that, the pain is little. A grunt escaped my mouth as I got back into my previous position, back leant against the wall, legs crossed as well as my arms. A stern blank look not leaving my face. A flirtatious giggle can be heard to my right, and I presume it is a reaction from being thrown into the air…Again. The light seeping through one of the air holes on the side of the truck help me detect the aqua eyes staring at me in a seductive manner.
She sends me a quick smirk before crawling around the cargo, coming to a halt when she's in front of me in what looks like a doggy position. Her bust revealing themselves as she brought that part of her body closer to me along with her head, as if wanting me to look down her shirt like the filthy pervert I am not. Sighing, I make sure my eyes do not travel to her chest and look upwards, my frown not even twitching. From the corner of my eye, I can see the dissapointment held in her, and she decided to show me this by crawling on top of me and sitting on my lap playfully.
"Lighten up Shad." She playfully suggest, flicking my nose. "One day you're going to forget how to smile if you keep this up!" she then teases, sticking her tongue out at me.
I roll my eyes, and rubbed my nose in slight annoyance at her notions, and name calling. "Rouge, how many times do I have to tell you not to call me Shad?" I ask with a sigh. "And lighten up?, were on a mission for fucks sake."
She doesn't answer either of my questions, and just gives me the usual pout. "You're always mr. grumpy though." She argues, biting her lip. "You can't even give your girlfriend any special treatment? A smile?"
That last comment triggers something in my brain, and my eyes snap to her in a glare. "Don't date me if you don't like me the way I am." I state, before turning my head to the side and feeling us go over another bump. But thanks to Rouge's weight holding me down, I'm kept on the ground.
"I'm joking Shadow." She whispers, giving me a light kiss on the lips as a apology. "I just want you to open up a bit more y'know, I feel like your hiding so much from me…"
"Hiding what?" I question with another grunt. "We live together, and I only go out to do GUN missions. If anything, I should be suspicious of you. Don't you dare accuse me of bullcrap!" My voice snarls at her and I slam my fist onto the ground. "What the fuck do you take me for Rouge?! I'm not a fucking player!"
"Calm down! Please!" She begs, grabbing my closed knuckle and holding it close to her mouth, massaging my fingers. "I just…" Her voice trailed off, and she refused to finish, her eyes focused on my fist. She kissed it weakly before nuzzling her head into it. "Sorry."
"It's okay." I reply without hesitation, knowing these arguments are useless. I always end up forgiving her anyway. She leans in for another kiss but almost as if natural I push her away by her cheek. "This mission is important, Rouge. We need to stay focused."
"But Shadow I-" She tries to argue, but I continue my side of the story.
"Were going to save Omega, I am not letting you change that. He's in there because of your carelessness, and I will not let him suffer anymore." I feel a shiver run up my spine as I carry on. "I hear Eggman's been pretty brutal on him, I have more mercy then him these days, Rouge."
"Wow, then he must be really horrible." She teases, elbowing me "look, we'll get him outta there okay? And he'll be fine! Omega doesn't give up or give in so easily and you of all people should know that!"
I decide not to reply, and take in what Rouge has just told me.
Omega is determined, I can agree with that. He's the robot that you give a mission and he'll do. His opinion doesn't change for anyone, and his hatred for Eggman just grows despite Sonic telling him Eggman is a 'good' guy now. Well, that was just proved to be wrong in the data we found about his plans. I usually don't have a lot of respect for walking pieces of metal, but this certain walking arsenal happens to be the only one who doesn't judge me, and does what he wants to do. Omega is a very independent robot, and I admire his dedication. But, that has nothing to do with the suffering.
Of course Omega won't give in to Eggman, Omega would never do that. It's fucking stupid of Rouge to even have thought I thought that. Yet, Eggman is still and always will be his creator, and therefore knows all about Omega. It tightens a knot in my stomach to think Eggman could be toying around and torturing my teammate as if he was just scraps taken from the dump. All I could do was hope he'd be in one piece by the time we got there, I didn't need any more drama on losing another one of my close friends. Yes, as much as I hate to use the word Omega was my friend. He and Rouge are the only people I give a damn about anymore.
The truck finally comes to a halt and the back of the cargo opens itself slowly. My red eyes notice the symbol of the Egg Empire pressed on the giant gate in front of us causing me to frown even more then I already was. I give Rouge a light shove before rolling out of the cargo and standing on my own two feet. I dust off my knees as I wait for Rouge to fly out, and am done by the time she lands on the ground. She pulls out a detector from her pocket and examines it as the two of us head towards the gate…And enter with no problems.
That's usually a bad sign from Eggman.
With one hand on her hip, she begins to talk. Her eyes are too focused on the detector to look at where she's going so I'm the one having to inspect the place. I can see robots lying on the floor headless, bolts and screws scattered across the path we were walking on. I turn my attention to the windows which see into the rooms as I walk past them, finding myself disappointed to see them all dark and deserted. Eggman must've abandoned this place once he found out we were coming, that fucking chicken. Even so, Rouge informs me of Omega's destination. "Omega's down in the basement, underneath the main laboratory to be exact." She then puts the detector in her pocket again and crosses her arms, glaring at me in slight annoyance. "I'm going to stay up here a bit for a signal and contact Tails so he can check up on Omega once we've retrieved him. This place seems a bit empty anyway…Drats that Eggmans not here to let us have any fun, but I'll see you down there okay Shadow?" Her long fingernail extends itself to a door to my right. "You have to somehow get to the room underneath there, good luck~" She whispers, kissing my neck in her usual seductive manner before pacing in circle and trying to get a signal to contact two tails with. I wipe off the sticky damp lipstick mark she's given me and frown to myself before heading into the room which Rouge informed me was the laboratory.
The room doesn't interest me, theres just a big monitor which takes up one of the walls, a large machine and some unplugged ripped wires on the opposite wall where a robot who looked as if he was in shut down mode was lying, body flat on the ground and emotionless. If Eggman even thought about shutting down Omega I'll fucking rip that moustache off him. With my fist clenched again, I take advantage of my surroundings and head over to the large machine which was offline, but my eyes look it up and down for anything interesting…
Not really, theres nothing which interests me. Rouge chatter voice fills my ears as she begins talking to Tails, which reminds me I need to hurry the fuck up. In fact, I'm surprised nothings come out and tried to attack us yet…Eggman must be up to something, I know he is. And Omega knew too. He knew all along and we were all to blind to listen to that robot, and he in return is punished with undeserved pain and torture.
"God dammit why are we so fucking stupid!?" I yell, grabbing by the machine and slamming it into the ground with all my power. It sickens me to think that even I, Shadow the Hedgehog, didn't see this one coming. And this fucking stupidity I now own could cost me the life of my friend, I can't have that. Not…Not again.
With a lack of surprise I've made the machine go right through the floor and into the basement, revealing that all that seems to be down there are a bunch of pipes and what nots from my view. But if there was even a chance of Omega being down there, I knew I should jump down. Thankfully, Rouge hung up her call after taking what felt like ages to contact Tails. And she was meant to be the gadget girl of the group? Tssk. I try not to think too much about that, as my focus is not on improving Rouge's appalling gadget skills, but saving Omega.
She grabbed by my arms and carried me down into the basement carefully, making sure her grip on my hands was tight. Even when we were on ground she held my hand tightly as we took a few steps forward in the dark. Wasn't I meant to blush at her touch…Isn't that what boyfriends do? I look over at Rouge as she pulls out the detector with her other hand, using it as a light source and still making sure she didn't let go of my hand. It's not like I was going to get lost, and she was a bat anyway. So I felt she was just doing it to be…Romantic. I even told her I liked the idea of romance more then sex when she first asked me out.
I held back to try and reassure her of those stupid ass thoughts she was thinking earlier, still insulted she'd even think I was to relate with someone classified as a 'player.' I don't love her or anything but she is my girlfriend, and I ain't going to go against my role as a boyfriend. Even though we argue a lot and all that crap in between, I want to have the relationship with her, she's been there for me and I've been told girls asking guys out is extremely rare. So I gave it a shot. Not going to bad…I think.
We both stop when the flashlight reaches something we both know as Omega's shoulder pad. The omega symbol peeling off of it. Her aqua eyes stare into my eyes, which I widened out of shock and…anxiety. "Shit." I mutter under my breath, picking up the shoulder part and letting go of Rouge's hand. I repeat that curse word "Shit…" and stuff it in my pocket, feeling my fingers shake as I do. Why the hell am I so worried about Omega anyway, he's just a piece of metal. I close my eyes and internally laugh before opening my eyes in dissapointment.
That was anything but true.
Rouge had shone the flashlight on the wall now, where what was left of Omega remained. That stupid Egghead had torn the shit outta my friend, wires ripped from his vents at his stomach and his left arm being tugged off roughly. His paint was peeling off, and I winced thinking about what Eggman had done to leave Omega like this. It was almost as if Omega had-
She gasped and covered her mouth at the sight, and I looked away in regret. This was our teammate after all, I'm not as soulless as I make out to be. "Shadow he's…" Rouge tries to say, taking a few steps closer to him and touching one of the wires, letting a 'zzzt' noise escape the wire. She jumped back and shook her finger while wincing. Such a clumsy girl. Even after being electrocuted, she continued. "He's…Pretty much useless now."
"Don't you dare say that" I argue, pointing over at our arsenal of a teammate. "This is Omega!"
"But Shadow it's useless to try! We should just g-"
"No." I try not to raise my voice again. "I am not letting Eggman win, nor am I betraying Omega." My eyes soften as they stare into Rouge's and then back to Omega. "I'm not leaving him here. We'll have him checked up."
"Shadow I really dont-"
"Rouge."
She sighed, knowing it was useless, and picked up his left arm throwing it over her shoulder. "We'll take him to Tails, carry his body will you when were on ground level hun?"
A simple nod shows I agree to the deal, and she smiles at me, grabbing by me and Omega this time and dropping us onto the levelled ground. By the time I get up, she's gone out of site. Probably gone to see Tails…And that stupid faker is probably with him too. I am not letting myself break down in front of them over this, I do not need to be teased by these jerks. All I do is pick up Omega and walk the way which I came, carrying Omega over my head as I do. His body is a lot lighter once shut down, and his body is cold too. Yep, just think of the positives Shadow, don't let Sonic wriggle his way into your fur and ruin your ego. I give myself a quick nod and walk out the gate again, hurrying over to the plane where Sonic and Tails are.
They watch me head over with that sympathetic childish look in there eyes that I hate so much. Makes me want to punch their faces. I don't need their pity, I don't want their pity. But still, I hand Omega to the young boy in trust, he was a mechanic right? So he should know what he's fucking doing, better fix Omega. Tails smiles wryly at me and straps Omega into the passenger seat, meaning the rest of us were going to me sitting on the wings on the plane. Great, not what I needed right now. I crawl next to Rouge, who was already sitting on one of the wings, and let her lean her body against me. She was showing the emotions I was too scared to show, sadness. "I hope Omega's okay Shadow." She whispered, not even waiting for a response before burying her head into my chest. I feel my cheeks flush not only because of the action, but because of the annoying hedgehog watching us from the other wing and giving me the thumbs up as if I'm his friend. Pathetic idiot. Pathetic.
I roll my eyes for what feels like the hundredth time and let my eyes watch Omega, hoping for some sign of function, but I didn't get any response, just his metal body hunched over, and moving lifelessly side to side as the plane flew through the air.
He better fucking be ok.
