Frozen Love

It had been two months since Sonic went missing. No one had any idea of where he was or what had happened to him. Amy, Knuckles, Tails and pretty much everyone else had gone looking for him, but with no success. They had searched all around the globe and inspected every nook and cranny they could find. No cave, house, mountain or hole in the ground they found went unsearched. After all the searching they did, they found nothing. Not even a blue quill.

Two weeks ago, everyone had come to the sad conclusion that sonic was dead. They held a memorial, and then it was all over. Everyone returned to their homes and moved on. Some, including Amy and Tails, still had hope that someday he would come back. But they still had no choice but to move on.

----------------------

It was a particularly cold and hellish night at the Blizzard Peaks. An incredibly violent snowstorm was rushing through the mountains, ravishing everything within its vicinity. Being at the Peaks, especially during snowstorms, is a very foolish idea. But Shadow didn't care. He had set up a small hut at the tip of the Blizzard Peaks in order to get away for a while. He needed some quiet time to think. About what, he wasn't entirely sure.

As Shadow sat on his bed staring out of the hut's only window, he felt restless. "What the hell am I going to do with myself?" he said to himself as he let out a long sigh. "Maybe I should go for a walk." He hopped out of his bed, engaged his rocket shoes and headed for the door. When he opened it, he was immediately met with harsh winds and extreme cold. Ignoring this, he continued forward and smiled as he realized that the exhaust from his shoes was helping him keep warm.

----------------------

Laying half-conscious on the ground not far off from where Shadow was currently treading, was Sonic. He was a complete mess. He was so cold and numb he couldn't feel his limbs, let alone move them. His fur was wet and matted down with speckles of partially frozen water. His entire body was ragged and littered with cuts. But worst of all, he was starving. He was so thin and bony that he looked like he could die at any second.

Sonic sobbed softly as a sharp pain shot through his entire body. He felt so hungry and vulnerable. He wanted so badly for it all to end. He wished that he was back all nice and warm at home with his friends and enjoy a large plate of Chilidogs. His mouth watered at this thought.

"Oh, what I wouldn't give for even a single bite of one those!" he thought to himself.

He missed all of his friends. Especially Shadow. Not just because he was a friend, but because he loved him. Ever since he laid eyes upon him, he had a crazy secret obsession with Shadow. He never admitted it, of course. He was pretty sure that would ruin his reputation.

The pain returned once more, but this time it was much more severe. He let out a long, deafening cry.

"What the hell was that?" Shadow said as his soft, cat-like ears twitched almost unnoticeably. He stared in the direction he heard the noise come from. "Who's there?!? Hello?" Shadow heard no response. "Whatever. It must have been a bird. I hate those noisy little bastards." He sneered. But, just as he was about to leave to go back to his hut, he heard faint whimpering noise. Shadow sighed as he went in the direction that the noise was coming from.

As he approached the source of the sound, he stopped to study it. It appeared to be an abnormally thin hedgehog, but he couldn't see very well due to the rather nasty snowstorm. "You shouldn't be out here. Who are you? Are you injured?" Shadow placed a gloved hand on the crying hedgehog's shoulder and turned him over to examine his body. As he looked at the hedgehog's bony face, he immediately knew who it was. He couldn't believe what he was seeing!

"Sonic? Sonic, is that you? What the hell happened to you? I thought you were dead!"

"Sh..... Shadow?" Sonic cried in an extremely worn out voice. "Hel…. Help me…Please…."

Immediately, Shadow was stricken with a myriad of emotions. He couldn't explain it… It was the exact same way he had felt when Maria died. He had no idea why he felt this way. But, he had no time to think. He needed to get Sonic someplace warm. He swiped the limp hedgehog off of the snowy ground and brushed him off. Then, with Sonic in his arms, he went as fast as he could back to the hut.

----------------------

After Shadow closed the door behind him, he rushed over to his bed and placed the trembling hedgehog under the covers. Sonic began to speak slowly in a quivering voice "Thank you… you don't know how happy I am to see you!" Shadow didn't respond. He felt himself become slowly aroused by the hedgehog that sat in his bed. And it scared him.

"Shadow? Uh.... Are you OK dude?"

Shadow cleared his throat. "Yes, I'm.... Fine...." Sonic couldn't help but to notice the blush that was on Shadow's face. This made him wonder.

"Why is Shadow acting like this? Does he really feel for me the way I do him? No, it couldn't be…." He was interrupted by the growling of his own stomach.

"You should eat." Shadow said in a worried tone of voice as he observed Sonic's emaciated body. Sonic cringed and put a hand on his belly in discontent.

"I'll make some food for you. Stay put." Sonic smiled in anticipation.

As Shadow left his side to prepare a large meal for him, Sonic couldn't stop thinking about how Shadow was acting. He was blushing! He had never seen Shadow blush before. Was it because he liked him? All of Sonic's thoughts halted as he smelt a smell that he hadn't experienced in over two months: chilidogs!

Sonic drooled as Shadow brought over a HUGE plate of chilidogs.

"Here. Now eat!" Shadow exclaimed. He seemed worried and desperate. Eagerly, Sonic reached out to grab one of them, but failed to get a grip of it.

"Poor thing… he's too weak to even pick up a piece of meat!" Shadow thought to himself.

There was a long pause. Sonic's stomach rumbled again. "Here…." Shadow picked up one of the juicy franks and knelt down to get closer to sonic. He brought the warm food close to Sonic's lips and stopped. Sonic blushed at this motion and opened his mouth to speak, but before he was able to utter a word, Shadow inserted one end of the chilidog into his mouth. Sonic was about to protest, but he found himself biting off the end and swallowing it.

"There, that wasn't so bad, now was it?" Shadow said rather softly.

Sonic shook his head, obviously wanting more. Shadow continued to hand-feed Sonic until the food on the plate was all gone.

----------------------

"Feel better?" Shadow asked with a worried look on his face that Sonic had never seen him do before.

"Hell, yeah! I had no idea you could cook so well, Shadow!" Sonic answered with vigor in his voice.

Shadow was surprised at how radically different Sonic was acting now that he had a full belly. Sonic yawned in contentment. "Sleep well" Shadow said as he began to leave.

"Wait, Shadow…"

Shadow stopped. "Yes?"

"I… I'm kinda cold…" He responded. Shadow contemplated this. What could he do? To Sonic's surprise, Shadow climbed into bed with him. "Shadow? What are you doing?"

"You said you were cold. This is all I could think of…" Shadow felt himself become aroused again. But, what he didn't know was that Sonic was aroused too. They both blushed cutely and stared at each other for what seemed to be a very long time.

"He's blushing again! Maybe he really does…" He was interrupted as Shadow's warm lips met with his. Sonic let out a deep moan in pleasure as his dream had just come true. Shadow was delighted that Sonic was actually enjoying it and continued. They kept going until both of them had to break for air. "I've always wanted this…" Sonic said, panting.

Shadow smiled. "Me too. I just didn't realize it until now." Shadow ran his hand down Sonic's chest until it met with his belly. Sonic nearly fell limp from the warmth. Shadow noted this, and continued to run his hands up and down Sonic's skinny body. Then, he embraced him. Sonic felt so warm, so comfortable. He slowly fell asleep in the dark hedgehog's grasp.

----------------------

It was morning, and Sonic had just woken up. He looked by his side and saw Shadow's face scrunched up against the pillow, obviously in deep sleep. He laughed and reached out to pinch Shadow's cheek. Shadow jumped and wiped the drool off of his face. "What the hell?" He exclaimed. When he saw it was Sonic, he laughed. "Jesus, man! You scared the shit out of me!"

Sonic laughed even harder than Shadow. "No, REALLY?!"

After eating breakfast with Sonic, Shadow wondered what could have done such a horrible thing to him.

"What the hell happened? Why were you gone for so long? And why where you so beaten up?" he asked in a confused tone of voice. Sonic began to tell him all about what happened. About how Eggman had captured him and forced him to work as his slave, day and night. He abused him, beat him, and starved him every day he was there. Whenever he fell asleep while he was supposed to be working, or whenever he refused to work, he was tortured in the cruelest way possible. And when he was too weak to work anymore, he got dumped at the Blizzard Peaks to die. When Sonic finally finished telling Shadow his tragic story, Shadow was furious.

"That BASTARD! I'll kill him for even THINKING of hurting you! He's going to be SO sorry he did this to you!"

Sonic began to rub Shadow's back to calm him. "Dude, Shadow! We'll get him for that later! Calm down!" Shadow felt his anger subside as the blue hedgehog continued to massage him.

"You're right." He sighed.

"Hey, Shadow…." Sonic said slowly.

"What is it?" shadow asked, curious to see what he had to say.

"Do you think we could go back home? I want to see my friends again. And you could move in with me! And we could even..... well.. YOU know..." Sonic put himself in a seductive pose and ran his fingers up and down Shadow's lean body.

Shadow smiled. "I don't see why not."
