Chapter 1
He always wondered why he always ended up there. Every time he went on his solitary walks, something that was becoming more frequent, he would instinctively head to that small, isolated house. No matter how many times the owner of that house told him though, he never called to say he'd drop by. Mostly since he never carried any form of communication with him. Every once in a while, his brother would force him to carry one of his new inventions to stay in contact. But, the poor things all suffered the same fate: they would break during a fight, they were forgotten on one of his adventures or they simply couldn't with stand the supersonic speed and were dropped along the way. The other reason he never called was because even he didn't know when he'd end up in front of that door again. But, he was here already, right?
He snapped out of his thoughts and knocked enthusiastically, taking a few steps backs to wait. No answer. He knocked again, insistently and again waited. Again there was no sound, not even an insult or death threat. He sighed and tried peeking through one of the windows, only to have the curtains halt his attempts.
"Come on! Open the door! I know you're in there!" he yelled at the house.
"No, I'm not", a ghostly voice whispered close behind him. It made him jump a few steps away, making his heart stop for a second.
"Oh, there you are", he answered back in a normal tone and placed his hands behind his head in a casual pose.
"Did I scare you, faker?" Shadow said with an almost imperceptible smile as he stepped forward to open the door.
"Ha! That was a good one, huh? How long did it take to set that one up?" he said with a joking tone to get back at him. Though he wasn't really mad, these fake arguments had simply become part of their friendship for some time now.
"It was random", Shadow stated, as he stepped in, and placed a bag on a small table in the living room, "I did not think you would react so childishly", he said with another smirk.
"I'm sure you spend all day waiting for me, watching me from behind a bush to see when I'd come here", Sonic lied down on the sofa.
"Yes, that's exactly what I did", Shadow finished putting up the things in the bag and slowly walked back to the sofa. "But, I wouldn't have to do that", he cast a serious look at Sonic. "If you would say when the hell you were coming over", he said throwing a pillow at him, "and get your filthy feet off my sofa".
"Aw, come on, I'm comfortable"
"You're such a brat…"
"So you admit you were waiting for me all day", Sonic said with a smirk of his own.
"I'm serious…"
"Fine, fine", he said, his plan to distract him having failed as he sat correctly on the sofa. "Hey, buddy, got any food?"
"For you, no", Shadow sat in a chair close to a table.
"Come on, it's common courtesy to offer your guest something to eat or drink"
"No one invited you", he said, picking up a book from the table and calmly flipping through it still listening to his 'not-guest'.
"Fine, I'll get myself something", Sonic announced, hopping to his feet to make his way to the kitchen.
"No", the other said pushing Sonic back into the sofa. "Last time you tried cooking, I had to replace the curtains and there is still a stain on the ceiling."
"It was an accident!" he said, making exaggerated gestures, "You're never gonna forgive me for that?"
"No", was Shadow's curt response as he got up and headed to the kitchen, making his guest smile happily.
"Thanks, Shadow!" he said in a singsong tone.
"Shut up" was the quiet response from the kitchen.
Now alone in the room, Sonic looked around, noticing everything exactly as it had been last time. Well, it had only been a few days since he last visited so not much could change. It was a simple house that felt almost empty save for some furniture. In the living room there was a small table and some chairs, not much more needed as Shadow never invited anyone over. Aside from that was the sofa where he now sat, placed close to the window so that its' owner could read comfortably from the natural light. Sonic had learned many of his close friend's habits. Well, not so close since they had recently become friends, but Sonic still felt he could trust him as much as any of his close friends. The only other furniture in the room was a bookcase against a nearby wall which held many different books. Sonic got up and walked towards it, grabbing a new book.
The cover read: Meditations on First Philosophy by René Descartes. Sonic flipped through the book for a few seconds finally closing the book and putting it back.
"I didn't understand a single word", he hung his head in defeat. "These books are too difficult, Shadow", he yelled the last part for the other to hear.
"If you would concentrate on them for more than a couple of seconds you would understand them. You always do the same thing"
"Agh!" Sonic groaned and went back to sit on the chair Shadow had occupied earlier.
On the table, he found a laptop and turned it on to find something to do. Though he wasn't too tech savvy, he could still kill time while his host was busy in the kitchen. He didn't want to complain about Shadow taking too long and risk getting kicked out with an empty stomach.
When the screen came on, the screen showed a tab open with a wall of text. Without thinking, Sonic minimized the window to look for something else. Not before accidentally reading part of the text.
"Moans of pleasure"
Now his curiosity was piqued. Opening the window again, he read the one sentence to satisfy his curiosity.
""Yes, I like it", he whispered between small, barely audible moans of pleasure."
And done. He minimized the window again. However, new questions soon plagued him.
"What type of book is this? Was this some kind of erotic novel? Maybe the character isn't doing anything like that and I just misinterpreted it. Besides, why would Shadow read anything like that? He wouldn't-" , he stopped himself in mid-thought, mentally hitting himself up the side of his head. If Shadow were to hear what he thought just now, he would never let him in his house. In fact, he'd only look at him with hate or not at all. "I'm being paranoid. He wouldn't over react like that. It's just a book talking about someone moaning…But why was the character moaning? What did he like?...Okay, one more peek. After all, Shadow did say I had to read longer than a few seconds to understand a book, right? Right".
""You like that", he said, between lust-filled kisses over the other's body, his hands exploring the other's body."
The sound of something breaking echoed through the house. Fearing he had been caught, Sonic quickly glance behind him. He sighed in relief when he saw no one behind him and realized the sound had come from the kitchen.
"Shadow, you okay?" he asked a bit worried, getting up with the intention to see what had happened.
"Yes, I dropped a glass and couldn't catch it since I had my hands full with your food", the other replied. At that moment, he came into the living room with a plate full of chili dogs and two drinks.
Not registering anything the other said, Sonic pounced for the plate, jumping back onto the sofa with little grace. Shadow merely sighed, placing the two cups on the table.
Shadow was a bit surprised when he saw his laptop open and quickly moved to shut it. He felt his face redden as a certain thought crossed his mind.
"Phanx Sado, vu zur no fmf aw laik"
"Don't talk with your mouth full." Shadow scolded as he took a sit next to the blue hedgehog, "and eat more slowly".
The other chewed furiously and swallowed hard, almost choking on the food.
"Thanks, man. You sure know what I like", he finished, quickly stuffing his face with another chili dog.
"Considering how mysterious you are", Shadow commented sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
"That's your role, I'm the charismatic hero, remember?", Sonic said, striking a heroic pose.
"Wipe your mouth before you save the world, hero", the other said as he handed him a napkin.
Sonic broke into a fit of laughter, followed by Shadow's own quiet laughs. Shadow didn't hide his smile and Sonic, inwardly was thankful for this.
It was moments like these that filled Shadow with a warm feeling. He imagined that nice feeling was finally having someone that would never let him be alone again.
