I had a disease...
It's a rare one, one without a cure...
AHID: Active Heart Implosion Disease...
I take medicine for it, but sometimes it won't always work...
My heart will start to beat uncontrollably fast, and it'll hurt so much that my body will shut itself down, and I'd always wake up in the hospital...
I never told any of my friends about my illness... I don't want them to worry...
However it was necessary to tell my boss and fellow co-workers, considering the circumstances of my occupation...
I did tell one person though...Someone I knew I could really rely on...
She doesn't need medication in order to hold a conversation, nor does she need to carry pills in her pocket...
She doesn't even need to hang around me...
Yet, she stays...
Hi. I'm Mathias Boxely, I have AHID. But will it take me down?
No...
One~*~
A bump and they were down.
A chuckle.
An apology.
A forgiving.
"I, I'm Violet. Violet Rose."
"Mathias. Mathias Boxely."
"Nice to meet you, Mathias. Hey, I'm-"
"Forget it. It was an accident, after all."
"Still though...Are you okay?"
"Yea, don't worry 'bout it, doll-face."
"Oh..."
A blush.
A laugh.
"So tell me about yourself, Violet."
"Hmm...not really much to tell..."
"Oh come on. Something? Anything?"
"Well...I'm a bit of a singer."
"Same here. Do you perform?"
"Sometimes. Oh, that must be why you look familiar now! You sing at Club Rouge, don't you?"
"Bingo."
"Your voice is wonderful."
"Thanks, love."
"Ooo, is that a bit of Australian in there?"
"Nope. Just wanted to see what would happen."
"Smooth..."
A laugh.
"Where do you perform?"
"Mobius Park. Mostly when festivals come in and Heritage Days pops up. Sometimes birthday parties."
An understanding nod.
"I'd love to hear you perform sometime. Here's my number."
"Really? Uh, thank you. I'll see you around, Mathias?"
"See you around, Vi."
A wave of the hand, and he was gone...
O-O
"Are you serious? You met up with Mathias Boxely?" An onyx hedgehog sets down his coffee mug, an eye ridge raised, looking at the azure female sitting in front of him.
"Yes. Why is it suddenly such a big deal? You know him?" Violet sips a bit of her tea, matching the other's expression.
"He's a friend of mine...it's nothing you should be concerned about," the ebony male replies, laying back in a plush, creamy colored couch and looking towards the window.
"Of course it isn't. You never wanna tell me anything." The female rolls her eyes, nudging the dark one in a playful manner.
"Because it isn't of your concern." Shadow the Hedgehog sits back up, looking into his female friend's Emerald green eyes.
"I was the one to bring him up in the first place," she persists, never breaking gaze with the other.
"And? There isn't much you can do with that statement, y'know." the dark one says.
"Fine. Then I guess I can't tell you what all he said to me. Did you know that- never mind. It's nothing you should be concerned about." Violet was using the words of the other, smirking all the while.
Shadow frowns. He had actually lost to Violet, of all the women. Rouge couldn't even win a verbal fight against the onyx fur!
"Point taken. You win." He sighs, breaking eye-contact and sipping some more coffee.
"Really? Damn, it must be my lucky day...I never win in any fights with you!" Violet laughs, finishing her tea and clearing her throat.
"I know. But back to the object at hand." Shadow urges on.
"Okay. Well, Mathias and I had met up, and we started talking. Well, as it turns out, he sings at Club Rouge every Saturday. And he also gave me his number." Violet tells her story to the midnight hedgehog, leaving out the fact that she practically knocked the fox down on first contact.
"Hmm. Someone has it in for you." Shadow smirks, taking both his mug and her glass and walking into the kitchen.
"Wha-Shut up Shadow! It was a friendly conversation!"the female blushes, trying to glare a hole into the other's back.
"Did he call you 'dollface' or 'love'? Give you a nickname like Vi?" the onyx fur inquires from the kitchen, popping both cups into the dishwasher.
"Man, it's like you were there!" Violet exclaims, Shadow dead-on and confusing her. "Has he done this before?"
"It isn't frequent, but he's done it a few times before. He would always use 'love' and 'dollface' for sure. Sometimes he would give nicknames when they really caught his eye." A casual reply from the dark agent was given.
"Wow...I mean he seems nice...but I have my eyes on someone else right now..." Violet trails off, thinking of her foxy boyfriend, Oni, at home and probably wondering where she was. "Though he might be losing interest in me..." she adds on, a thoughtful look in those bright Emeralds of hers.
Shadow is silent, starting to chuckle soon afterwards.
"What's so funny?" Violet inquires, turning to look at the smiling black male.
"It's just...you're talking about boy problems...with Shadow the Hedgehog...That's just...hehehe..." Shadow chuckles in between sentences, eventually busting with laughter and having to hold himself up on the counter top.
Violet eventually starts to giggle too, the both of them literally, Rolling On The Floor Laughing(or ROTFL, for short).
The both of them eventually calm down, Violet being the first to speak.
"Ohoho...that was fun. Eh, I should get home. I'll see you later, Shadow. Thanks for talking to me." With a wave from both, Violet was out the door and heading home, a big smile on her face.
Though something very unexpected happened on the way...
Mathias' P.O.V...
I'm walking home from a trip around this buzzing city, and I see her...
I couldn't believe my eyes at first, and walked closer until my suspicions were confirmed.
Violet was on the ground; bruised, bleeding, unconsious, and her clothes were shredded. She was barely covered.
A few teenagers were standing back, tossing rocks at her to see what would happen.
"Hey! Get your asses out of here before I get the cops!" I scream at them.
They immediately flinch, dropping all their pebbles and running away.
I hurry to the cobalt fur's side, lifting her up in my arms and speed-dialing Shadow. "Hey! No time for talking, Shadow! I think Violet was mugged...I don't know who did it, I just found her here just now...Sha- slow down slow down! Just meet me at the hospital as soon as you can." I rushed the conversation, dialing 911 afterwards and awaiting an ambulance. I was strong, I'll admit, but I couldn't carry her four miles to the nearest hospital.
Third-Person...
O-O
An azure female opens her eyes to find herself in a white room. She tries to sit up, only to fall back down, as the pain in her body was too great to bear.
She notices her hand was warm, and looks over to find Oni the Fox asleep at her side, their hands intertwined.
"You're up. That's good." says a melodic voice from the doorway.
The shehog turns her gaze to meet Emerald with Emerald. "Mathias..." she whispers, not being able to fully comprehend this. "What are you doing here?"
"I found you on the streets. Violet, you had been mugged..." the male replies, walking over to her beside and looking her firmly in the eyes. "Are you okay?" he inquires, looking her up and down.
It was not fun to be mugged. This, Mathias knew unfortunately very well.
"Except for the seering pain writhing around in every ounce of my body, I'm perfect." The female tries to smile, but it only passes off as a pained smirk. "You may want to be quiet. Oni's sleeping..." she reffers to the red fox, still unconsious in a small chair with his hand in Violet's.
"His name is Oni? Fitting. I take it he's...?"
"Yes. He's my boyfriend. But the question is, how did he find out? You just met him...sort of...you couldn't have called...so..." the azure fur kept trailing off, her mind working in painful overdrive, and it could be seen on her face.
"Shadow had probably called everyone after I got off the phone with him." Is the other's reply. "The hedgehog I swear might've fainted if I hadn't told him to slow down. You're one of his very few best friends y'know..." Mathias states, a shrug of the shoulder with his hands crammed in his pants pockets.
Violet smiles a tiny bit at this, turning serious soon afterwards. "How excatly do you and Shadow know eachother in the first place? Do you both work for GUN, or do you work in some sort of alliance group?" she inquires thoughtfully.
"This, Violet, I'm afraid I can't tell you. It's classified as it would go against my contract. I'm really not even supposed to be here right now, much less did I want to be..." the male explains to her.
The azure one's ears fold back. "Oh...I didn't realize being here would be such an annoyance," she mutters softly, averting her gaze.
"...Oh, oh Violet! I didn't mean it that way I promise! I just didn't intend to be in the hospital in such a drastic situation!" Mathias suddenly grabs her free hand, looking her hard in the eyes. "You have to understand, I'd never be like that. Never." he states, squeezing her hand lightly.
After consideration, Violet silently nods, the smile returning.
The door opens once again, causeing both of them to turn towards it, and Oni to awaken.
"Am I interrupting something?" It was Shadow at the door, holding a small basket in his hand.
"Hm? Oh Violet, you're up baby. How do you feel?" Oni starts to rapidly throw questions at the poor girl, not noticing her rub at her temples.
"I'm fine, Oni. But please don't talk so loud. My head hurts," she mumbles, smiling weakly at her concerned foxy mate. "Do you think you, and Mathias, could go and get me some asprin?" she asks, looking back and fourth between the males.
Both nod, turning or the door and passing Shadow.
"Hey. I heard you actually paniced," the cobalt female jokes, beckoning him closer.
He compiles, setting the basket on a a side table and sitting in Oni's seat. "I did. You scared us all, Violet. Would you mind me asking what happened?" the onyx male inquires.
Violet nods, thinking back. "Uh...I left your house and started walking home. But half way I felt someone was stalking me, so I broke into a jog. I was suddenly grabbed , hit, and gagged, and here I am," the female summarizes, shaking her head and shrugging. "Can't remember anything else but a slim figure."
"Hmm...would you be able to tell me any details on this figure you saw?" Shadow asks.
"Uhh...it was definetly a fox, this I know. Um...oh, a hat! I recall a big hat, probably black, but I don't remember. And it was a boy. I remember his rag-time boyish accent. Boots, I know...I think he was a honey-brown color, but it was too dark to tell. Nothing else I remember." Violet thinks hard, her fingers tapping against the side table in concentration.
"A honey-colored fox with a big, black hat, boots, and a rag-time boyish accent..." the dark agent repeats, making sure the story was straight.
A nod of approval, and he was up to the door. "I need to go, Violet. My every condolance to you. I hope you get better," the black one says, sincerety in his tone.
"Thank you, Shadow. Don't worry 'bout me. I'm gonna be out here before you know it," the cobalt one says, enthusiams in her tone like no other's.
Shadow almost smiled, before closing the door behind him and laying up against it. "Mathias you dirty liar..." he whispers to himself, straightening up and walking towards the elevators.
O-O
What did you think?
I know, I know...New story, unfinished others, STOP DROPPING EVERYTHING TO MAKE A NEW FIC!
