Dead men cry in the night,
Sitting in the pit of despair with strangers.
The best buddy you never knew sits next to you,
Grinning like a fool.
The ones that refuse to cry in this makeshift death bed.
You grin back,
We're both meant for better.
And you know that too well.
But, so does he,
We're both fools, grinning in the face of death, happily smiling to her.
She says "Hello."
We say "Nice to meet you."
Her face is priceless, her face looking up in a glass smile.
She speaks, "Don't you already know me?"
"Yes, we know you." We reply to her. Like a normal conversation,
"Then why say 'Nice to meet you.' when we've already met?"
"Because, we welcome you death."
She smiled sweetly, raising her blade, her coat smelled of freshly baked cookies, as she did a swift horizontal swipe.

Running towards the figure ahead. His body covered in broken glass and shards of scarlet, red drip from him. I hold him, a ragged gasp escapes my suddenly burning lungs, and his hand shot threw my chest, claws erect threw non-existent gloves. I looked to him, and stared into his eyes. I finally noticed that hole in his chest as well.

I knew this,

he didn't wish to die alone.

His arms retreat from my body, and surround my neck, one covered in blood, the other shards of glass wretched threw. His arms seemed to clamp around my skin, it was hard to breath. I could only imagine what it felt like with a large piece of wood stuck in your ear. His eyes were dulling, I could imagine mine doing the same.

Is this the end?

Quick attack, and yet such torture.

I could feel his pain, feeling blood ooze along my back from his mouth clenched down on my shoulder, agonizingly slow, mine doing the same to him, I didn't hug him. My arms held him desperately as we collapsed ito a kneeling position, him on my knees frozen in place with his arms around my neck in a desperate hold. He knew what was coming, and so did I. my chest burning, as I imagined how he felt now.

Its time to die.

I settled my hands at the small of his back. My maw resting along his shoulder, as thick scarlet leaked onto his neck. I knew that was mine.

He wants this.

So do I.

Our love has no bounds.

We gave our all for what we wanted, liberation.

And we have finally been sent on the road to it, only this could give us what we wanted.

You wouldn't think of us like this, would you? We, in an embrace so desperate and loving? Wondering why he is killing me, yet I hold him just as tender as he holds me? Well I guess it started at the beginning. I don't know how it started, all I remember about it is a race, and a gentle touch.

Her short vanilla fur twisted and curled naturally as our flesh was cut, her clean slice our remnants, splattering red across the others, shaking, and cowering in the back. We held each other up, still grinning as we faded into the non-existent glow of death.

We don't care where we go.

As long as our wish comes true. His blue fur tickled, I thought we were dead.

We weren't, however. The little twerp with two tails set this up. His haunted house, with Vanilla, the reaper as the others screamed. We sat there wondering if Tails had used ketchup, paint, or red glue, it was glue. Our false hopes were high in the adrenalin rush.

Incompetent...

I never finished that thought. Imagining if it were real, Sonic and I would be able to see her, my long lost friend up in the heavens, if she was even up there, or if we went up there.

"Shadow!"

He ran to me, and hugged me. Bundles of roses were in his hands, I pushed him away, staring at the delicate flowers. Blood. Blood was spilling out in a quick flourish from his fingers and palms. He blinked in confusion towards me.

"What is it Shadow?"

Your hand...

"Well? I'm wait'in here."

I cast my hand with care, holding his delicate peach skin, as though his hands and skin were made of fine silk. Holding such fine greenery, no greenery could withhold as much glory as he did. his blue fur was too soft and silky like compared to the rough, green, motionless snakes that resided in his hands. I gently stroked my fingers upon his soaked fingers, lightly gripping the red flowers. Thorn covered vines leaked on his seemingly delicate peach wrist. I inspected, examined, and came to a conclusion. Taking the green and red and green plants from his hand, placing all of it to the side, tossing it to the ground.

I soon found my lips tracing the small cuts in his skin, licking up the red that decided to taint his body. I don't like it when he bleeds. His other hand grasped my quills roughly, pulling my head away. I saw disgust in his gaze upon me.

Disgust.

I closed my eyes, turned, and walked away. I don't wish for him to think I'm disgusting because I like him, or simply because I wish for him not to feel pain.

I don't want to deal with that endeavor. I walked, ignoring his surprised expression. I left with a small insignificant apology "Sorry" the first apology I've ever given so freely. It's strange and..

Foreign.

The whispers began again. This happens when I get annoyed.

'Shadow.'

I ignored it, it's strange, deep, yet cracked voice resonated.

'Let's have some fuuuun.'

Ignore.

'Pleease, I feel restless.'

Ignore it.

'I'll take you over!'

Ignore it and it will go away.

This is how it went. Ignore him, if he took over my body, I get a nice horror show to calm my nerves. It sighed, swirling into a foggy yellow mist. Its hedgehog like form made its way into my mind, beginning to do its magic.

'Let's go.'

It clicked, my mind blackened, and I was forced back into the inner chasm's of my mind, a white screen appeared before me, showing the outer dwellings of which he now resided, free to do as he pleased, I didn't care. He can do whatever the hell he wants today. I'm not in the mood.

'Are you sure about your choice shadow? Letting me rain over your body to hurt others?'

I chuckled at him, reading my thoughts, my movements were very easy for him to read apparently. I suppose it's fine though. The screen in front twisted into a hole as it did, showing more of a thought concealing black hole. I watched as he walked forward, spotting a little rabbit, his arm ripped through her small body, the ball she had fell to the ground, and bounced off as its owner dropped without a sound other than a small squeak and a dull thud. I watched his amusing charade for a long time, soon hearing Sonics voice stretch the air in my ears, changing my mind instantly to his tone, too panicked, and hoping that the blue hedgehog was naive enough to forgive my other.

"SHADOW! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"

I froze, as well as the voice taking over my form. His golden quills and fur tensed. And I wondered, since when did he come here? In this mind that isn't his? It swooped within my thoughts as sonic walked up to us, I was shoved forcefully back into controlling my body, the voice retreating back to his separate room in the depths of my mind.

Pathetic.

Sonic began to yell at me, I stood tall, staring at him with uncaring eyes. He punched me effortlessly and quite weakly. It didn't surprise me. He didn't approve of my actions, and someone died, however he didn't want to damage me to the same extent, no matter my actions. I'm not surprised that the whispering kreep in my head went way too far. I held him as he cried away his worries against my shoulder. I admired his blue quills dancing in the moonlight, quietly listening to his muffled words. Softly runing my hand against his fur and hushing apologies to him.

Holding me tightly, he glanced at Amy growling towards her. I stood still, staring at Her, now tear stained, face. That didn't suit her, neither did her running away like that. Sonic knew this however ignored it, as I have. We both knew she would find someone, anyone to spill her feelings to and feel better. End up either doing it again, or finally moving on. We didn't care, sonic had clung to my arm for the past week or so, I didn't mind one bit. His eyes closed in bliss, hands securely tucked around my arm. He was being clingy. I didn't mind this though. At times his cockiness retreats into a cavern somewhere in that head of his. But it soon came back, as he let go of me and challenged me to a race.

"Lets race!"

"You're on!"

We laughed at our quick exchange, finding it to be almost as fast as girl talk. Almost.

"You don't stand a chance, Faker!"

"I think You are the only fake here, Hedgehog."

"Says the guy with a handicap?"

"I'm not handicapped, but I believe you may be a bit blind perhaps?"

"No, you have a handicap. Because you always use those hover shoes, it's like you can't run without them."

He accusingly suggested, I hissed. He noticed, how could anyone not?

"I'm quite capable idiot."

"Oh, I'm sure."

His sarcasm cut into my head like butter, stupid Hedgehog. Moronic, ignorant, cocky, Hedgehog.

-.:('(')'):.4


"OUCH!" sonics voice rung.

"What's wrong blue hedgehog? Scrape your knee?" I chuckled at my own accusations.

"No, my brain got raped by tails speech."

"And, that hurts?"

"When it's that guy raping your Brain, then, IT HURTS LIKE HECK!"

His vulgar language was very colorful, it made me feel something warm inside, when he told me personal things about himself, like restless butterflies nesting in my stomach. I chuckled at his humor, it's fun. These moments we have are always interesting.

"Do I hear your brain working? Or did tails just whack you in the head and say spill it?"

Sonic paused in a long minute, I chuckled again, taking that as the signal of hitting the mark.

-.:('(')'):.5


He clung to me, I did the same to him. We both felt eachothers juts, and shudders of pain. This is agonizing, my brain remembers the past of us, together with ease. Our crimson life source slipping out of us by the gallons it seemed.

"AH!"

His passionate blows hit me like a raging fire, fueled by gasoline. He growled at me, gentle caresses from earlier still burned into my memory. He was starting to make me think smoke was going to set. He dragged me here, making me drunk with these strange new feelings, starting with a tender rub against my cheek.

Feelings suck.

But damn, it can feel great sometimes.

He urged a warmth in the pit of my stomach, I felt like I was going to fall, I couldn't help but scream with each movement, my breath hitching, my heart racing.

"Say my name."

He spoke threw pants and groans, as he pressured me further, still going deeper into me. Taking his sweet time with each shift of his hips, it was agonizing, making my back arch towards him.

"Say it, I want to hear you."

"S-sonic!"

I obeyed him, his gentle whisper like touches against my sides, moving down to my hips, those hands made me want to scream in frustration at this wonderful feeling. To wrap my limbs around him, and beg for more. Only he can hear, Only he is allowed to hear, and see me this way. Only him. Because my heart belongs to him, I only let him see this side of me, submissive and blushing a deep red.

I suddenly felt the world shatter, a shudder filled gasp escaped my burning lungs, with a final scream of his name. My knees bent against his back, mine arching farther, trying to gain more contact. He held me closer, as white heat slicked against our bodies, I didn't know what to call the thick, musky liquid.

"s-SONIC!"

He grunted, I felt him freeze within me, my body began to melt into him again from the tense moment. I jutted out a sharp gasp, as he let out his heat within my body. I wrapped my arms around his neck, binding me closer to him as a relief of sorts, we collapsed, he grunted on top of me, staying, prolonging the heat within that began to leak, and make a mess on the green grass below us. It started off as a race. Suddenly, I got my first boner from our argument on extreme gear. He suddenly pulled me into him and kept trying to get to my rear, I insisted that it was fine, and said if this was going to happen, I'd be dominant. Then found myself tackled and his length pressing against me, my own bobbed freely until he turned me around and.. These oddly overpowering feelings began to take place.

Why the hell am I so pathetic when it comes to him?

-.:('(')'):.6


We let out sharp gasps as we saw white light, coming for us hastily. We blacked out before either of us could see what it was, or at least I did. Unconsciousness filled me. The stupid voice came. In the form of a yellow sonic, his quills held up like mine, one of his eyes swirled red, the other plain white. Mist swirled around his crouched form, as his clawed fingers played with it, as if he could touch it, like the sand grains one would find in the desert wind. His gaze, you could say, looked up to me, and he flashed a toothy grin.

'You're gonna live'

My face was emotionless, I sighed and walked into my room. I have rooms in my mind, and he had one he made too, I didn't care much though. My room is bland, it's like a glass room, on the outside of the glass are stars, endless space, and bright glistening stars. The only thing bothering to decorate my room was a picture lying on a nightstand in the corner, and a brown bed. The picture only held a blue hedgehog and his shadow holding hands.

That's right.

I smiled. I'm his, and only his. Never thought I would smile again, the other didn't dare walk within my room. He didn't know what was in here, I knew what his room looked like though. It was white, with a strait jacket in the corner, and a little poster with him, sonic, and me holding hands. Like three of the best friends in the world. I guess we are kinda like that... Aren't we? I chuckled.

The light came, and whisked me away into a putrid white light, I had to close my eyes, and slow my pace. I sat up, to see Sonics bed facing mine, he was asleep still. bandages holding along his body tightly and snuggly, I didn't care to examine myself. Noticing the metal circle on his chest. I looked at it, and blinked.

Must be tails work.

He stirred; the nurse walked in and told me to lie back down, hastily walking to me to push me down. We were alive.

I was...

And so was he..
