Uh, hi?
Well, as a start, I'd like to thank my friend Kazuhiro the Sergal for helping me with the translation. English isn't my native language, actually. This was the first Sonadow I've ever wrote, and I've posted it first in my native language, in a national site, and now my story is here, so I hope you like it.
Without further ado, enjoy my story!
It was one of these nights where he barely slept, and the feeling of emptiness, a void in his heart took over more and more. He didn't knew how much he could take anymore. The pain was just too much, this burden was too heavy for him toc arry himself, and he just saw no fun in anything to distract his mind anymore.
It was unbelievable to simply think about, but him, Shadow, was depressive. He didn't knew what to do, or even if it was something to be done. The Hedgehog was just crawling on his core. He left G.U.N. for advice of Commander himself, that was incredibly condenscending with him, freeing him from a place where he would be nearly useless, in the emotional state he was.
He didn't took visits, hid from his allies; long he didn't felt the warm sunlight over his face, or even the soft breeze that usually marks the beginning of the night. He just laid, curled under blankets and pillow, haunted by an unreal cold feeling, which was just emotional.
He often rebuked himself, telling himself that it was irrational for him to be in such state, though he had no idea of how, or why he was in such condition. It was just felt, and its effect took him over, saddening him. His reasons were weird to himself, he didn't understood himself anymore. Why, why Shadow, the Ultimate Life Form, was curled, crying in a cold, empty bedroom? He just wanted to never had reached existence; He wanted to die; Or to simply disappear from the Earth, without leaving any hint, or memory for the ones who knew him.
Once hearing the sound of his door being knocked, he curled a little more, surrounded by trembling. He did not even thought about getting up to receive whoever it was, nor even to tell that one to not bother him. He was totally drained of energy.
"Shadow, open up! I know you're there!" The voice he less expected could be heard coming from the other side of this door. Definitely, he had no mood to receive him, his blue-furred rival. He chose to ignore him, covering his head with the blankets.
"Shadow, open up, or else I'm opening forcibly!" Insisted the blue hedgehog, causing Shadow to only curl a little more.
Sighing, Sonic gripped the doorknob, and twisted it. As if it listened to his words, the wooden door opened itself; it was unlocked. Shadow forgot to lock it up, and it sounded like an alert in Sonic's mind: The blue hedgehog was not worried about the black hedgehog's seclusion, until now.
The Blue Blur walked and silently, looking disapprovingly at the huge mess that was on the corridors and room. Every room he faced was incredibly filthy, even with an intense odor, from the lack of cleaning. Finally reaching his destination, Shadow's bedroom, which was also unlocked, though Sonic wished it was.
Slowly opening the door, careful not to scare the ebony hedgehog, he snuck in that bedroom, shutting it back with that image which he faced. Visible dark circles under these scarlet eyes, and an unhealthy weakness could be seen on the other's body. He could not believe that this, right in front of him, was Shadow the Hedgehog, once so vivid, so strong.
"OH MY GOD, Shadow!" He ran towards his ebony rival, removing the thick blankets over him, noticing this weakened body, which was bordering on malnutrition. Rifling through the bag he carried, Sonic took from it one of his favorite chili dogs, handing it to the Ultimate Life Form.
"Take this, you need to eat something." He said, with one of his typical smiles, winking friendly at his rival.
"No-" Shadow was interrupted by the sound of his stomach, once this smell instantly brought an intense hunger over the ebony hedgehog, who quickly took it from his rival's hands and voraciously ate it.
Sonic just smiled at that scene, watching the once calm and controlled Shadow behaving like a hungry beast, even getting a little dirty in the act of satisfying his hunger. Taking off a few more chili dogs, he handed every unit his hands could hold to his rival, obviously not caring about sharing it with someone in urgent need.
"Take it easy, you can fall ill." Sonic warned with a calm voice, hearing a grunt as an answer.
The Blue Blur just watched the Ultimate Life Form feed, smiling tenderly, before pulling off a handkerchief from his bag, in order to approach the ebony hedgehog, who even got himself a little dirty in the act of satisfying his hunger. When Sonic carefully cleaned his face, Shadow instantly felt rather astonished and embarrassed.
"Careful, chill…." Touching his back, carefully, the Cobalt Speedster touched the Black Blur's back, showing himself pretty afraid of hurting the other, before feeling a tight, firm grip, which was followed by a cry, a painful, deep cry, with noisy sobs of agony.
"Don't cry…" – The blue hero muttered to his rival, while returning this hug, comforting Shadow in his arms.
