AGENTS – A Smile and a Photo

Later that night, Shadow managed to return to Rouge's room. Today would be a tiring day for any ordinary person, but Shadow was no ordinary person. A few knocks, but yet again, no answer. He decided to surprise his old friend and so he teleported in. He then found himself within the confines of her living room. Seeing nothing of interest, he moved on. He found her king-sized bedroom, complete with a massive bed "She's certainly kept herself comfy."

Scanning the area, he found a shinning object on the bedside. He approached it to find an old photo of him and her on a beach in a private island known as Sier. Throndyke brought them there as reward for their efforts. It was there that Amy found her twin and family.

A small smile would be found on Shadow's face as he stared endlessly at her smiling face. In the photo, you could see Rouge had just jumped on Shadow from behind. She winked in the photo and Shadow was obviously caught off guard. She hugged around his neck and Shadow was blushing. Sonic popped up to take the photo for them; it was payback for beating him in a race.

He began to caress her face with his finger on the transparent glass. Memories came flowing back like an angry river. Little did he know that the good times he had with her, would only get better.

Rouge had then entered her room, but not through the door, but rather, the window. Landing safely and quietly, Shadow did not take notice. She heard someone put down the photo in her bedroom. She began to hover, slowly and quietly, she entered the room. Noting the black clothing and red streaks on her trespassers quills, she believed it to be Shadow, still watching the photo; she began to remember the picture. With a playful smile and small giggle, she pounced him. Caught off guard Shadow yelped and fell on his side on the bed.

Shadow was bit ticked but realized that it was the only person on earth with the guts to do that to him. "Trespassing, eh?" She giggled playfully.

He was in a happy mood today and decided 'What the hey.' He flips to make eye contact. He embraces her "I haven't seen you in a long time."

At first she was shocked by his sudden rush of affection, it was truly never like him to do as such, but she hugged back anyway. With a smile matching his, she pulls away and faces him. She gives him and kisses on the cheek then begins to caress it "It's good to have you back." Realizing Shadow's reaction, a massive blush, which mistakens him for Knuckles, she returns the favour and gets up.

"I never expected this from you." Shadow was puzzled at her sudden reaction to his. "Never expected that from you either." She remains in his eyes and he remains in hers. In a blissful state of everlasting passion, they had found eternity. They kiss, full on the lips, and remain that way till it deepens. The world around them disappears as they bask in each others warmth, and all this from a smile and a photo.
