Chapter 1: Sonic x Shadow, romantic
From where he was lying on the couch back-first staring up at the ceiling, Sonic lifted his head and looked over at Shadow as he was sitting at the kitchen table nearby quietly reading to himself. "Hey, Shadow?"
"Yeah?" The ebony hedgehog lifted his glance from his book and turned his attention to his mate to hear what he had to say.
Showing a smile of delight at the fact that he now had Shadow's attention, Sonic lifted his legs before pulling himself up so he was sitting properly, turning around so he could look at his lover directly and resting his arms on the top of the couch before speaking. "Have you ever seen something that changed your life?"
Shadow stared in silent surprise for a few moments before nodding. "Yes." Closing his book on the page he was currently up to, he stood up from his seat and walked over to the couch as Sonic watched him silently. Once he was standing in front of the couch's back, he bent down to the azure's position and reached his hands out to cup Sonic's face much to the latter's surprise, with the feeling only amplifying once Shadow gave his answer, a bright smile showing.
"I met you."
Sonic felt his eyes widen at the simple yet sincere reply and as he was staring in starstruck amazement, his muzzle and tip of his ears began to turn from their trademark cream and blue colours to a red that almost matched Knuckles. As the azure hero was simply staring silently, seemingly lost in his own world, Shadow showed a look of concern upon realising that he hadn't responded yet.
"Sonic? Are you okay?"
He was soon given his answer as a wide smile slowly came to Sonic's face and he let out a happy sigh before collapsing on the couch with a rush of immense happiness flowing through him.
Shadow looked down at his mate in surprise before shaking his head with a chuckle of amusement. "Some things never change with you, do they?"
