Sonic The Hedgehog, Blue Blur, World Renound Hero, Fastest Thing Alive, The Love of My Life?

Chapter One

(Sonic's POV) (Sonic woke early to find a sunny day begining outside his window and smiled as he left his soft bed and began his new day, little did he know today was the day that the world as he knew it would be threatened.) I walked down the stairs of the house me and my friends: Knuckles, Tails, Rouge, and Shadow shared to find the usually happy scene of the 'family' sitting in the kitchen laughing and having fun, well all but Shadow. You see Shadow and me are very different and used to be rivals. He is a black and red hedgehog with blood red crimson eyes that could steal the soul of a dead man. His fur is as soft as the softest cloth, believe me I know what I'm talking about, and he isn't very social. He likes to stay to himself and when he does talk it's usually because he's on a mission for GUN or just doesnt feel like sitting around doing nothing, which is hardly ever. We stopped being rivals a few years back when I started to get these strange feelings whenever he was around and i refused to fight him. I think he knows, or at least did then, because once when we were fighting I was bleeding, broken, and dieing but still didnt even start to try to fight back, he stopped attacking me when I let the first tears I had cried in all my life slide down my face thinking I was going to die. He walked up to me and, to my amazment, held me and coed soft things like "I'm so sorry" and "You'll be alright" And even "Hush now, I won't hurt you ever again" and saved me from himself. That was the same week he moved in with me and my friends, at first they didn't trust him but they warmed up to him quite quickly and we haven't had a problem since. Although I'm pretty sure he knows something because he still won't look me in the eyes unless he thinks I don't see, but I always see. Anyway I have lived with the strange group for the last 5 years and I treat them as if they were my own family. "Sonic! Come on! You promised we could go to the park! I might be a genious but I'm still 10! Please!" Tails begged as he pulled at my leg. "Alright alright! Now let me go before I fall on Shadow ok?" I said pulling the two tailed fox from my leg and putting him on the ground. "YAY!" He yelled as he ran to the front door and waited for me. I started to walk but was stopped by a force that knocked me into the wall on the other side of the room. "Sonic!" I heard Shadow scream as I felt a warm liquid run down my face and stain my white gloves with a red splat. "Sonic are you alright? Speak to me, please! I almost killed you once and I won't let ANYONE do it again!" I heard Shadow yell again as I came to enough to see the dark, black and gray, mouthless hedgehog named Mephlies. "Sonic? Can you sit up?" Shadow asked after seeing my eyes open with terror. I started to sit up but had to sit back down due to the pain in my head. "N-No. I can't sit u-up." I said as I heard Mephlies laugh his mouthless, demonic laugh and dissapear. I saw more blood on the ground and my friends laying in heaps all around the room. "No.." I whispered. "NO!" I began to sob as I hid my face in Shadow's chest fur. "..." Shadow said nothing this whole time and just sat there. Suddenly I felt his hands slide up my back and he began to rock me slowly and clamly. "Shh. Don't cry, love, I will make sure he pays for making the only thing I have left in this world suffer." Shadow whispered into my head quils. "W-what did you say?" I asked as the full meaning hit me head on. I wanted to hear him say it right. He sighed and tilted my face towards his and softly kissed my lips. I gasped in shock but returned the kiss eagerly. He smirked and chuckled. "Hey Sonic?" he asked. "Yes?" I answered. "Wake up!"

I shot up in bed, covered in a cold sweat, the moon still bright outside my window and looked around my room. 'Just a dream. It was just that stupid fucking dream again.' I thought as I atomatically got out of bed and pressed my ear to the door before leaving. I walked down the stairs and into the living room but quickly froze at what I saw. Shadow, laying in a pool of his own blood, cold looking and alone. I ran up to him and pressed my ear to his chest. 'Heart beat!' I thought as I heard the very faint, much to faint, beating of his dying heart. I shock him roughly but got no responce. I shock him again only to, again, get no responce. Finally I gave up and looked around for anyone, when I saw no one I called out. "Knuckles!Tails! Rouge! Help! Shadow's hurt!" I screamed as I heard a low moan come from Shadow. "Hey! Shadz? Can you hear me?" I asked franticly as I receaved another, this time louder, moan in responce. His eyes began to open and he looked up at me with a frightened look in his crimson eyes. "S-Sonic, run. He wanted you, but I fought him away." Shadow said in a low whisper as the others ran into the room with shock on there faces. "Sonic! Get out of the way!" Tails said as he tried to pull his friend from Shadow. "No Shadow! I won't run away. You were there when I needed you everytime and now it's my turn to be here." I said as I scotted out of the way but still held firm to one of Shadow's hands. He smiled weakly at me, which is something that he rairly does, and I give his hand a small squeeze.

Tails makes me carry him to his workshop and then makes us all leave. I have to let go of Shadow's hand, which is hard to do when neither person wants to let go, and I'm sent into the living room to wait with the others. They all sit nerviously talking and side glancing at the blood on the floor and then at the blood on my hands. "It's my fault." I say after a few moments of silence. "When he woke up he told me whoever did this wanted me, he should have let them get me." I said depressingly as I felt the tears apear in my eyes. Unlike what happened in my dream I have never cried before, but right now I feel like I could cry forever. The one person I will ever love might die because of me, how will I live with myself if I let that happen?

Suddenly the door to the workshop opens and out steps a, slightly weak, Shadow. "Sonic!" he breaths as I take him into my arms gentaly. To my, and everyone elses, suprise he begins to softly sob. "Sh. Hush now! I'm here to protect you and I won't let anyone hurt you." I say soothingly. "It's not me I'm worried about. It's you! HE wanted you! I wouldnt let him get to you." Shadow said still sobbing. "Who Shadow? Who did this to you?" I ask camly. He leans up till his lips are at my ear and whispers, "K-Knuckles." into my ear. He then puts a finger to my lips and I understand he means for me to act like I don't konw. I wink and repeat my question. "Who did this to you Shadow?" He winks back and leans up again, but this time he nibbles on my ear. I feel a souther part of my body react and whisper, "Ask to go to bed." into his ear. He giggles slightly into my neck and leans back. "Sonic, will you take me up to bed now? I'm tired." I smile and nod as I say goodnight to the rest of the group and make my way upstairs with the fast healing hedgie. As soon as we enter his room he throughs his arms around my neck and kisses me full on the lips. I kiss back and he moans into the kiss with longing. "Wait Sonic." He pants when we pull back for air. He looks into my love filled eyes and I look back into his love filled eyes. "Sonic, how long have you loved me?" he asks. I look into his eyes for another moment then say, "Ever since I first meet you Shadow." He smiles and kisses me again and this time we have no interuptions as we mate. I wake up slowly as I realize what had happened the night before and wonder if it was just pain meds missing with his brain. I start to panic when I think of how I am to explain this to him and suddenly feel arms snake there way around my waist and open my eyes so that they meet with those of Shadow. "How did you sleep, love?" He asks as he kisses my forehead. "Fine. I was worried about you though." I said as the panic starts to fade away. "Thats good. I'm fine now." He says seeing that we have nothing to talk about. Suddenly he kisses me with a burning passion and I realize that he has tears on his cheeks. "P-please don't think that last night was a mistake!" He sobs as I hold him in a soft embrase. "Shadow! I don't think that last night was a mistake! I have loved you for so long! I would never do anything to hurt you!" I said sternly yet lovingly as he slowly calmed down enough to talk. "Really?" he asked through tears. "Really. I love you." I said as I connected lips with my male lover. He smiled and took my hand as we left the room and started down the stairs to start our new life as lovers.
