So I was nearly done with this chapter when almost everything was deleted for no reason. Please excuse me while I go have a nervous breakdown.

Silver had left in the late morning- almost noon, to go meet up with Blaze before the cookout. Shadow had somehow given him the courage to ask her out but said courage was dwindling with every second. He hadn't told Blaze about his relationship with Shadow but he suspected she kneels something. Blaze smiled at him and he was so distracted thinking about the artful curve of her lips.

"So what's going on with you and Shadow?" She asked the spaced out Silver.

"Huh? What did you say?" He asked having missed what she said "what about Shadow?"

Blaze poked his head "you're pretty spacey today aren't you?" She said chuckling "I asked what was going on between you and Shadow, you two seem close but not in a coupley way"

Silver blushed (we're not talking about the realisticness of hedgehogs blushing) "it's complicated" it wasn't actually complicated or hard to explain, it was rather simple in fact but Silver was a shy creature and he didn't exactly want to explain his
relationship with Shadow to blaze who he actually had a crush on. "Shadow is being all angry about Sonic again, he was muttering about him last night when we were...-together" He said attempting to change the subject.

"Very interesting, so what exactly where are you two doing together?" Blaze wasn't about to be distracted although she wouldn't push him if he really didn't want to talk about it.

Silver looked rather uncomfortable and nervous "we're in a kind of relationship" he said vaguely. "It is difficult to convey as I'm concerned that you will misinterpret" he had his head down.

Blaze raised an eyebrow "I won't judge and you don't have to force yourself if you're really uncomfortable with telling me" she gently patted his shoulder. She had already figured out they were in a relationship of sorts but she was curious as to the
specifics.

"The customs of this time are foreign to me, I am not used to these things" he omitted "Shadow and I participate in specificintimate relations"

Blaze of course wasn't surprised by this as to her it was fairly obvious "okay" she said calmly, trying to encourage him to be comfortable.

"Shadow is much better at explaining this" Silver mumbled red faced "it's like this, ShadowisthedomandI'mhissub" he said in a blur of mushed up words. "AndIreallyreallylikeyoubutit'sIdon'treallyunderstandthissocietyorifyouevenlikemeback" (And I really
really like you but it's- I don't really understand this society or if you even like me back) he added without meaning to because he was flustered.

Blaze would have laughed at how flustered he was had it not been because he was confessing his feelings for her. She stepped forward and kissed his forehead and hugged him gently "of course I like you"Silver was a precious little creature, whom she found it impossible to not love.
