As a short ivory hedgehog walked down the road he was unaware of his stalker behind him. An ebony hedgehog walked up to him and whispered to the white younger hedgehog, "Come with me," He spoke grabbing the white hedgehog by the hand and ran off with him so that the man that followed was out of sight and no where near the two.
"Who the-?!" the ivory one gasped while running off with the other hedgehog. His muzzle went pink lightly as the ebony hedgehog fixed his jeweled red eyes on him and put a finger to the ivory one's lips.
"Shh…" he hushed with a gentle tone. He grabbed the younger hedgehog's hand and walked him into a house. "That man was following you…" He spoke closing the door behind the two. "It was in my better nature to save you from what ever he was plotting."
"Oh, um… thanks…?" the ivory one spoke back shyly. A chuckle filled the air and all fell silent as the ebony hedgehog peeked out the window watching curiously for the man just in case.
"No thanks are necessary," He spoke pulling away from the window noticing the man was far behind them, "I'd just feel better if you stayed here for today…" he walked over to the ivory one after digging through a few drawers and pulling out a towel and robe. "So what's your name kid?" He spoke dragging the youth to a bathroom.
"Um, I'm Silver, and for your information I am fifteen!" the ivory hedgehog replied as his golden eyes fixed sternly on the ebony hedgehog.
"Okay what ever kid, I'm Shadow," He replied to Silver with a slight snicker in his voice. "I thought that you possibly wanted to wash up." He handed the towel and robe to Silver.
"Um, I-!" Silver was cut off being pushed into the room and the closing of the door. "Ugh… What a weirdo…" Silver grumbled to himself. He took off his gloves and boots setting them in the corner in the room that was farther from the shower. After Silver's shower he turned off the water and stepped out grasping the towel and dried off then put on the robe. He had picked up his gloves and boots while walking out of the bathroom. Once he walked downstairs the TV was on and Shadow sat in a recliner that was in line with the TV slightly.
"There you are kid," He spoke up as a grin planted it's self on his face as he watched Silver squirm at the title he was given.
"First off my name is Silver not kid, second of all why are you protecting me in the first place you weirdo?!" Silver spoke irritated placing his boots and gloves next to the door.
A chuckle filled the silence as Shadow stood up and walked over to Silver, "No reason…" he whispered in is ear now, "Like I said it was in my better nature to save you…"
Silver's tanned muzzle turned pink at the sound of Shadows voice in that secretive tone. "Um…," Silver begun before once more Shadow's finger was placed gently on the ivory's lips.
"Shh…," Shadow hushed Silver again, "Just go rest…" Shadow leaned in to where his mouth was a centimeter from Silver's ear and whispered, "Okay?"
Silver flushed a deep red as Shadow pulled him over to the couch and pushed him down gently. "I um… o-okay…" Silver murmured shyly. His ears flattened as Shadow walked away after covering him up with a blanket. Silver snuggled into the blanket and purred. He finally rested his eye lids and was curled up on the couch once he finally gave into the sleeping motion.
"Kid…" A soft voice whispered to Silver, his ear twitched back toward the speaker as Silver opened his eyed slightly. "Time for dinner…" The voice continued placing his hand on the ivory's shoulder and gently shook the youth lightly. Silver's eyes had completely open and their golden gaze met the ruby gaze right in front of him. Silver lied there sleepily in the blanket.
"Hmmm…?" Silver hummed as Shadow scooped him up; Silver put his arms around his neck slightly and looked up to him blushing lightly. Shadow had stopped at the kitchen and sat the youth down near a wood chair that sat at a wooden table. "Oh, um, thanks Shadow…" He spoke with a slight confused tone. 'I can walk myself to dinner…' He thought to himself before he sat down in the chair that Shadow had now pulled out for the ivory one.
"No problem," Shadow snickered at how nervous the younger was being around him. The ivory one looked up to the other as he pushed the chair in. "We'll be having spaghetti tonight…" He whispered in Silvers ear as if that was a secret to be kept.
"Um, okay…" Silver spoke back nervously as the other walked off to a cabinet and came back with two white and golden plates, he placed one in front of the ivory hedgehog the in front of his own seat across from the youth. Shadow walked back and brought a small pot that had some spaghetti in it. He placed some on Silver then on his own plate. Shadow sat the pot down on the counter in the kitchen; then returned to his seat. "Umm, this is pretty good Silver mumbled after the two begun eating.
"Yeah, spaghetti is about the only thing I can cook." The ebony one replied with a smirk.
"Oh," Silver giggled at the other, "No offense or anything but you must live off of spaghetti." Silver giggled more as the ebony rolled his eyes with a smirk.
"Yeah pretty much…" He leaned over the small table with a napkin and cleaned some sauce from the other's maw. "And you must not have eaten spaghetti in for ever." He snickered at the youth pulling back away from him as the ivory one flushed red.
"Umm…" Silver blushed harder and continued eating.
"Oh, am I really making you that nervous…" Shadow smirked some before eating some spaghetti. Silver on the other hand sat; leaned back and blushing holding the fork cautiously, as if it we're going to bite him or something unpredictable.

After they had eaten the two had gone back into the living room and watched movies; in specific, horror movies or crime movies. Silver and Shadow became critics for the older horror films and laughed at every stupid mistake the characters made. When the crime movies came on they discussed and argued about who they thought the murderer was, though, in the end Silver seemed to always be right though; he was quite the little detective.
Shadow and Silver sat side by side on the couch close together and warm. They were covered with a black soft fuzzy blanket and unconsciously huddled closer keeping the heat close. Shadow looked down at the slightly shorter ivory hedgehog that was totally engulfed in the movie. He placed a hand on the boy's head causing him to flinch some and look upwards to the older hedgehog blushing lightly.
"Um…" Silver shuttered some with a darkened blush as Shadow ran his hand smoothly down one of his snowy quills. Shadow smirked and pushed Silver some with the hand that so gently held him.
Silver's heart began to race as he grew closer to the dark hedgehog; his ears pinned back, his face getting hot and red, and his heart beat dramatically speeding in his chest. Shadow smiled and gently kissed Silver on the forehead; by now Silver was trembling and felt totally vulnerable, he had no idea on how to react to such behavior from an almost complete stranger!
He pushed Shadow back placing his white hands on Shadow's chest that was covered with white fur as well. Shadow could tell this made Silver confused, scared, and untrusting, so he did as wished and pulled away. He stood up and reached a hand out to Silver who moved away, holding himself. But, right when Shadow was about to pull his hand away, Silver timidly reached out shaking some before taking Shadow's hand.
"Hey, you ok? You seem pale." Shadow commented slightly concerned and placed his free hand on Silver's shoulder.
"I… I remember…," Silver began in a shook up tone, "I remember someone who seemed a lot like you… he loved me… and he touched me like this… gentle…" Silver pushed himself towards Shadow causing Shadow to lose his grip and throw his arms around the younger hedgehog's small frame, "It was you wasn't it…?" Silver spoke looking up to the dark hedgehog allowing his glassy golden eyes to be seen. The heated tears smoothly ran down Silver's check and on to his arms that he pressed against Shadow.
He sat there crying in Shadow's arms, waiting, and longing, to hear Shadow's voice answer correctly.
