Shadow walked down the street, as he always did.
The stars shined bright in the night sky. Just thinking about the array of stars, planets, galaxies, universes..it made him feel tiny in the grand scheme of things. Gigantic supernovas, small white dwarfs, the Sun, the Milky Way, the moons, the amazing world that he lived in.
It was extraordinary that there were beings in the first place. Why on this planet? Why are we all here? How did we get here? No one knows for a fact who created everything, why they created everything, how they created everything, or even when time started. There are logical answers to these questions, but in reality, we know nothing for a fact.
His quiet, peaceful, pleasant daydreaming session was suddenly interrupted by a blue blur racing past him. A couple short seconds passed, and the blur came back towards him.
"Why now.." Shadow muttered as the blur came closer and closer.
The blue blur skidded to a stop in front of Shadow.
"I like your schtick." Sonic grinned.
"That is the weirdest pickup line I've ever heard."
Sonic raised an eye ridge. "Who are you to judge when it comes to pickup lines, you have no experience with them."
"And you do?"
Sonic crossed his arms.
(In Sonic's mind: I hate it when he's right.)
Shadow smirked, he recognized that look of slight frustration in Sonic's emerald green eyes.
Shadow poked Sonic's sides lightly.
The look of frustration faded as Sonic's normal expression turned into a small smile, he uncrossed his arms.
"Why did you decide to come back around and actually talk to me, especially after that damn temper tantrum you threw earlier." Shadow asked calmly.
Sonic's small smile faded quickly, he didn't say anything. Usually that was Shadow's way to go.
"You can't stay mad at Black Velvet, can't you?" Shadow said with a smile, poking Sonic's nose.
This made Sonic smile wider. "I knew I would regret calling you that."
"You also should have known that I made up a nickname for you too." Shadow muttered, wrapping his arms around Sonic.
"What is it?" Sonic asked, his eyes shone in the moonlight.
"So, I was thinking, about all of the stars in the sky. And I realized, how much I love the night sky, how nice it is. So your nickname is.."
"What?"
"My Star."
Sonic chuckled.
"I know it's stupid, but you won't judge, correct?"
"Affirmative.." Sonic paused, "Sun to my solar system."
"You do know that you technically just said that you revolve around me, do you?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, so?"
