I turned over in my bed, over and over again. I wanted to go back to sleep but I guess that's not happening. Sigh. I got up and went to the bathroom of the house.
The house was big with four floors, one being a basement and Tails' lab. The 1st floor held the kitchen, living room, dining room, a half bathroom, 2 closests and 3 bedrooms. Then the 2 floors above held a ful bathroom each and bedrooms. Plenty of room for everybody but with their growing number we'll probably have to add more soon.
I looked at myself in the mirror. God I hated nightmares and what they did to how I looked. I ran some water and splashed it into my face trying to make my eyes look less groggy. Once my eyes were cleared I grabbed a brush and ran it over my quills until they were smooth. Then I brushed the rest of myself until I was smoothed out and I had no flyaways. Once done I went back to my bedroom. I grabbed my cell phone from the nightstand and checked it. It vibrated the second I picked it up. I read:
heyy sleepy head good mornin ^^ wut wuld u lik 4 breakfast?
I chuckeled as I read the message from Rouge. I replied to suprise me and a very entertaining smiley face. I then hid my phone in my hair ([{I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO PUT IT XDD}]) and headed downstairs.
My room was on the second floor at the end of the hallway next to another staircase heading upstairs. The one to downstairs was at the end of this hall and on the right. I passed the rooms of Knuckles, Tikal, Viki, and Blaze. I opened the door and headed down the stairs. I yawned and stretched once out of the stairway.
"Morning Shad," Silver smiled at me from the couch.
"Silver, you do remember the little talk we had the other day about how if you ever called me that again I'd tear your d*ck off?"
"Nope, it doesn't ring a bell." He smiled at me.
"I hate nicknames. There stupid as hell, ok?"
"You can call me Silvs if you want." He smiled again and then turned his head back to the TV.
Does he just live to piss me off? Sure seems like it. He was a good guy when he wanted to be, but he was way oversensitive. He was Amy kind of but worse I guess you could say.
I walked into the kitchen and saw Rouge talking to Tikal in there. She smiled when she saw me and even winked. Sometimes she was worse to me than Amy was to Sonic. She stepped up to me.
"Good morning. How'd you sleep suga'?"
"Fine I guess." Yawn.
"You sound really tired." Tikal stated.
"I did say 'I guess', didn't I?" I sat down in a chair next to the table. Tikal rolled her eyes at me and looked back to something she was stirring on the stove. Rouge laughed at her and went to get the toast that had just popped out of the toaster.
I rested my head in my palm and stared blankly at the wall. It was peaceful, dull moment. Well atleast until I heard her voice.
"Hey Silver!" Viki squeeled in the other room. "Have you seen Shadow today?"
DAMMIT! Viki was one of the worst Shadow fangirls! And she lived in the same house as us! She had been adopted to the group about 2 weeks ago and the second she saw me she went all Amy and... Well she might have been trying to rape me or it was just a very wrong hug, either way, she scares me. I braced myself for squeels and hugs and winks or anything else she'd do today.
"Yeah, he's in the kitchen." Silver muttered in the other room.
"And how cute is he today?" She squeeled.
"Just adorable." Silver chuckled. He was deffinetly the one in the house who favors Viki most. Not that she was hated, but sometimes was really annoying. Well to me she was anyway.
I heard the door open and Rouge got a nasty look on her face. She really didn't like Viki one bit. Rouge liked me to so Viki's constant comments about me brought out her jealous cat-like side. I hope those 2 don't go psycho over me and kill eachother. The last thing we need is a bat fight.
"GOOD MORNING SHADOW!" Viki squeeled and grabbed my ears pulling gently and putting on this look like I was some sort of cute animal she saw in a zoo. She probably thought of me as such.
"Morning," I muttered. Please go the f*ck away. PLEASE.
She took a seat to the left of me and placed her hands ontop of mine with a creepy, fangirl smile. I moved my hand and sat it in my lap, then thought twice and just put my hands together ontop of the table so she couldn't reach. She frowned and looked away, pouting. I hope she gets a new obsession, and very soon. I looked down and sighed, staring at my hands, Yeah ofcourse I'd like to find myself a girlfriend but all of these girls are just...weird? Is that the right word? They just don't click with me. Yeah sure there's Rouge and I am close with her but she doesn't seem like the faithful type and she'd run away with Knuckles or some other idiot before we got to the second date.
"Are you ok?" I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up into the golden eyes of Silver. He honestly looked concerned but that wasn't rare for Silver. He enjoyed listening to people's problems. Maybe I did just need to get all of this out.
"Yeah, hey, after breakfast can me and you talk?"
He looked suprised. "Uh, yeah sure. In private or...?"
"Private."
"Are you gonna hurt me?"
"No."
"You sure?"
"Yes." I said, rather annoyed.
"Well, ok. Your room or mine?"
"Yours?"
"Ok."
"Thanks Silver."
"No prob."
I looked back to the table. Viki looked at me curiously, and so did Rouge, though she was less suddle about it. I just shrugged, not quite sure what to same to them.
Silver took a seat next to me, smiling. Blaze walked in and touched his shoulder as she did this. He looked at her smile akwardly and curled in his shoulders slightly, uncomfortable. Was Silver that shy? Damn that would be nice to me compared to Miss Lemme Rip Your Ears Off Because They're So F*cking Cute. I should get spikey earrings so everytime she touched them it hurt her. I chuckled and Tikal gave me a weird look.
Silver next to me layed his head down on the table, akwardly. Rouge placed plates infront of us and the empty chairs. She hit a button which made a little ringer go off and alert the others that food is ready. Sonic jumped in the kitchen and dived to his seat at the head of the table, fork and knife already in hand. The others appeard slower but they almost filled up the table with only 7 seats open. Rouge put down the big plates of food and everyone dug in and ate to their heart's content. Once I was done I tapped Silver's shoulder.
"Hey can I just go wait in your room?"
He hesitated and obviously thought it over. "Yeah I guess."
I walked away and headed upstairs, down through all the halls and to the third floor. Silver was the only person in this house with a room up there. Well him and Viki. I entered his room.
I'd never been in here before. The walls were a shining white color and covered in Simple Plan posters. The floor was a bluish teal. His bed was to the left of the door, television across the room. He had several beanbags on the floor by the TV. He had a desk in the back right corner that was covered with pencils and papers. There were two dressers on the right wall. The room was pretty well packed but looked entertaining enough. The desk stood out from the other objects and I went over to it.
Wow, I didn't know Silver drew. I sat in the chair and went through several pictures of feilds and flowers and stuff. I laughed at the one of fruit. He also had comics, one titled Shadow's Emo Rant ({[A comic idea I have written down and need to do but it's sooo long! I'll do it eventuay]}). I didn't really care for the title but the comic itself was hilarious.
I looked in the drawer and pulled out another book. I flipped open the first page and almost felt my jaw drop. It was the best picture of me I'd ever seen. I flipped the page again. More me. I went through the whole book. Nothing but me. Well that feels kind of weird. I'm sure he's probably just had this for a while and just draws one of me out of boredom every now and then. I looked at the orange sticker on the front. It read:
Purchased 9/16/10
Exactly a month ago. He drew this many pictures of me in a month. Ok a little creepy but maybe he's just one of those artist's who have their drawing phases where they draw one thing over and over again a million different ways until they're tired of it.
I heard footsteps on the stairs. I shoved the book under a bunch of papers on the desk and dived onto a beanbag, and switched on the TV.
Silver's POV********
Shadow looked half-asleep in the purple bean bag. I said his name and he looked up at me. I closed the door behind me and went to sit in the orange beanbag next to him.
"Hey, what did you want to talk about?" He hoped Shadow didn't know.
"I'm sick of being alone."
I felt his face go red. "Uhhhhh?"
Shadow didn't look up to notice. "Yeah there's girls here but I don't like any of them. I hate being alone."
"Shadow, what are you saying?"
"This is going to sound weird but-"
"Are you gay?" I blurted out.
Shadow looked up and his cheeks went hot. "F*ck no!"
"Oh." I looked down, attempting to conceal my sadness.
"I just wanted to know if you knew any... well I guess you would call them depressing but I mean serious girls?"
"Well Blaze..."
"Isn't she your girl?" Shadow said, confused.
"Uhhh well no."
"Why the hell not? She's like totally head over heels for you."
"Well...I...umm."
"Silver, are you gay?" He looked me in the eye.
"Ofcourse not!" I burst out.
"Ok, just had to ask you back." He punched my arm. "Don't take any offense to it, ok? I meant nothing by it."
"No it's ok. I get it. And I hope you find yourself a good girl who cares alot about you. Try eHarmony." I turned away from him.
He chuckled a dark, beautiful chuckle. "Thanks, and I'll try but I hear you find some serious creepers there." He walked out and I heard him go down the stairs and he was away from me.
I got up and sat at my desk. It was slightly ruffled from how I had last left it. I looked around inspecting. Had Shadow gone through all of this. I picked up the papers to organize everything and noticed the sketch pad at the bottom. Wasn't this in the drawer? I opened it and my heart skipped a beat. Did Shadow see this? I hope to hell not. No he couldn't have. He would've said something. Yeah I'm right, he would have called me out for it. That's the Shadow way. If he wants answers, he goes for them. It's like an obsession for him. He needs answers to his questions and he won't hold back. He knows nothing.
