One of the many things about being friends with Rouge, means you get to be apart of her awesome parties. She's just got this vibe, a charismatic grace that shows through like right now while she multitasks to keep everyone satisfied. I grin at her when she walks by holding a handful of beer and wine bottles and she gives me a wink before disappearing into the crowd again.
My grin faded as she left, normally I would be out dancing and socializing with my friends, but leaning against the wall furthest away from everyone while occasionally chugging my nearly empty bottle of wine I snagged from Rouge's kitchen earlier. I'm a bit drunk but as long as no one talks to me no one will notice. Everyone else seems content on leaving me alone and are just enjoying the music and talking .
"Sonic. We need to talk." I jump in fright and almost fall on top of Silver in a non-graceful manner. His hands are around my waist to keep me from falling and I laugh a bit more with a brow raised up, questioning his motives.
"Heya S-Silvie-Silver." Silver laughs at my slightly slurred voice and glances backwards, I tilt my to the side, trying to see what he was looking back but his fingers gently move my chin so I can only see him and I pout for a moment.
"Is he watching?" Silver asks, blinking I shrug my shoulders.
"Is who watching? W-what are you do-doing?" He rolls his eyes, his golden hues always looked cool and I've begged Tails to make me some similar to them but so far no good. He leans down to my ear and whispers.
"Is Shadow watching, look for a moment, then look back at me." Shadow? Why would he be looking at us? "Because he's so obviously jealous of me right now, that I fear he will surely kill me." Must've said that aloud. Anyways time for a peek.
My eyes flicker across the room to each person I see trying to find Shadow and then I see him. He's staring fiercely at us and I flinch a bit when our eyes meet. There's an intense look in his eyes, he's radiating pure anger and fury as he glares hatred at Silver, but when he looks at me, he gets closed off and Silver has to move my chin to break our eye contact.
"Yeah," I swallow, he's w-watching." Suddenly I don't feel so well, I don't feel sick or drunk anymore, I sobered up in an instant, I just feel a bit empty and guilty inside. And Silver still holding me in this position makes me feel even worse.
"Sonic. You love him don't you." It wasn't a question, we both know this. And before I know it I close myself off again without meaning to.
"Where are you going with this, Silver." I ask coolly, I push his arms off of me and cross mine over my chest defensively. "I may be a bit drunk but I'm not that drunk."
"Okay first of all, I would never do that and you know it." Silver retorts, a bit angry with my accusation. Taking a deep breath he continues, "I have a plan, to get you and Shadow together."
"What? Why?" Silver gives me an amused look and gestures behind him in a discreet way.
"You two clearly care for each other on a more deeper level, but neither of you ever say it. I'm afraid you'll both be unhappy and unfulfilled until one of you admits it." He mused, I scoff. "It's Shadow! He wants nothing to do with me."
"Please, then explain why he's still burning holes in the back of my head?"
"Maybe you just pissed him off today?"
"Sonic!" Silver cried out, "I swear, how I'm the only one who can see this is unbelievable. I've seen you two so happy and full of life just glancing at each other. Your chemistry with him is undeniable, you gravitate towards each other like it's meant to be!"
"I believe you but what am I supposed to do? I'm not just going to waltz up to him and-"
"Declare your love?" Silver interrupted. I glare a bit but I sigh. "Yeah, that."
"Well, you still want to hear my plan? You can totally disregard it."
"May as well, what's your plan then?" Silver hesitated. "Come on man, it can't be that bad?"
"I'm nervous okay," Silver admitted. "You're too much of a coward to tell him, so maybe we just push him to you with some jealousy?"
"..." I'm a bit speechless, this is a high school romance story right here.
"Oh Silv, you better not say what I think you're gonna say."
"We pretend we're dating. You see him? Give him a few weeks to a month and it'll consume him and he will do anything to have you away from me."
"Tempting-" I falter. "I dunno, wouldn't this push him away?"
"There's a chance, but we could simply end this before he gets pushed too far away." Silver looks me in the eyes, "Like I said, you really don't have to, just a crazy suggestion I'm willing to do with you." I ponder my options, really what could go wrong?
"I- I'll give it a shot. How we going to do this then?" I ask softly. Silver gently cups my face and waits, he waits for my permission.
"Are you absolutely certain?" I nod and he leans closer until our lips are touching lightly. One hand slowly moves to wrap around my waist and bring me closer to Silver while the other is on the back of my head, he deepens the kiss and backs me up into the wall.
He pulls back and I'm out of breath and we both gaze into each other's eyes, my mind feels cloudy and it takes me a few seconds to fully understand what the silence in the room meant. Alarmed by the lack of voices and music I look behind Silver and dread instantly pools in my chest. In my hands my forgotten bottle of wine drops to the ground and the glass bottle shattered against the wood floor.
Shadow looms over Silver, the latter turns towards him blankly.
"Can we help you?" Silver asks, nonchalantly. Silver pulls me closer in a possesive fashion as if to say, 'he's mine.' You could hear a pin drop in this silence. I'm not sure what I've got myself into but I'm pretty sure it's not going good so far.
"The hell you think you're doing?" Shadow growls. Silver remains unfazed.
"Showing Sonic a good time, he seemed to enjoy it don't you think?" He smirks. He lost his smirk the moment Shadow grabs my wrist and uses chaos control to take us away from the party.
