CH 1: The 'Celebration'

Takes place after Vio had 'killed 'Green in the four swords manga. What Vio and Shadow did for their little 'celebration' in the fire tower.

As Shadow and Vio arrived in the tower's uppermost floor, Shadow as the first to talk. They had been almost completely silent the way there.

"You know Vio, I don't think I've ever had such an amazing friend." He turned and gave him a fanged smile. Vio's heart jumped almost fifty feet when he noticed the fangs. That was new,

"I couldn't be," he blushed "I'm not that great,"

"Yes you are Vio!" Shadow put an arm around his shoulders and held him there. "You're the most amazing person I have ever met! How can you stand to be with someone like me?" He looked down slightly as the subject turned against him. "I can't possibly be a very good host to you with being gone all the time with Vaati and his dumb meetings."

"It's fine, Shadow. I don't mind a bit of reading time here and there." He tried his best to cheer the dark copy up, it hurt him to see him so sad. "Hey, let's do something. We're supposed to be celebrating remember?" Vio smiled at him and hugged him tightly. Shadow had a slight pink tint on his cheeks. He nodded and sheepishly fixed his purple hair.

"I guess you're right…here, I haven't shown you my room yet." He turned around with another fanged smile and took Vio's hand. Leading them both upstairs, Shadow opened the door to his huge black and grey room. His bed was a queen sized and his room had its own bathroom as well as a walk in closet.

"Wow! It's huge!" Vio walked in and sat on the edge of the bed. Shadow laughed lightly

"Yeah, I used to bunk with my sister before she moved in with Vaati." a sad smile made its way onto his face. "We used to fight over the bathroom a lot."

"Shadow," 'he feels lonely…no wonder he never looks truly happy' Vio thought. He perked up again at the sound of his name.

"Sorry, I'm boring you aren't I?" he sounded disappointed

"Not at all," Vio sat closer to him and leaned in a bit, just enough to make the other blush. Shadow sighed.

"The only reason I joined their side was because no one would care if I died or not." He explained bitterly.

"I'd care if you died Shadow. I would heartbroken." Vio stared him straight in the eyes, icy blue against ruby red. Shadow's eyes grew big with disbelief. Vio leaned in and kissed him tenderly.

"Vio…I'm sorry but…is it too late to be on your side?"

"Of course not Shadow. I love you, no matter what side you choose." the dark boy smiled.

"I'll always be with you Vio. I love you too, I'll join your side." Shadow closed the space between them and kissed Vio once more. "You didn't actually kill him did you?"

"Hahaha no, I could never do that. I just knocked him out," Vio smiled sheepishly

"I thought so. Want to find them and explain what happened?"

"That's a good idea." Vio hugged him.

"But um…can I hide in you shadow until you do, I don't want them to attack me or anything…"

"Sure Shadow, but you're coming to when I want you to ok?"

"Ok."
