Me: Greetings tha story followers
Sonic: Why are you speaking funny?

Me: Nay, fair Shadow, 'screwed' we are not.
Sonic: YODA! YOU'RE YODA!

Me: I do, but thee in a dress is most humorous.
Sonic: Shadow, it's my turn to own your ass!
Me: ANOW THIS YAMMERING! FORE WITHSIT MY STORY!
Shadow POV.
I didn't know how long it had been.
Minutes, seconds, hours. All that, it didn't matter anyways. I was alive. That was all that really mattered. Though the paining coating my body, and the side of my head was being increasingly difficult to ignore.
I steady myself, my footing was wobbly but I had gotten up. A stabbing sensation riveted my side, I clutched in tightly, doing my very best to shove off the pain. The ache not complying.
'I need help.' I thought, breathing overly heavy and my vision red and cloudy.
A house familiar to me, was about 5 metres away. Whose it was, well, I couldn't remember, but I couldn't care less.
I limped painfully to the doorway and knocked. I knocked again and again until the door opened. A cobalt hedgehog was reviled by the door.
At that point, my body gave way. I collapsed into the arms of the blue one.
I knew Sonic was speaking, but I couldn't hear a word. I felt my body being moved, shifted as more muffled words came about. I couldn't keep awake any longer; I slipped into a sleeping world.
-xXx-
A cool, damp object was pressured onto one of the many wounds covering my body, creating an unbearable sting. A low hiss escaped my gritted teeth. Midnight lids cracked open to show a pair of bright scarlet eyes, which glared up at the offending person. A woman who looked to be in her mid-thirty's was busy dressing those same wounds with a white gauze. Ignoring her, I prodded myself up by my elbows and tried to sit up.
"Oh you mustn't move, it'll make it sting more than it should." She said pushing my chest back down on the bed. The pain shot up me rather quickly in the previous position, so complying with the human female's suggestion was probably the best thing to do. "There. Shadow isn't it? Tisk, was foolish thing did you do to get in a state like this?"
"Bomb." I said in a casual tone, forgetting how unusual it was to people who were 'normal'.
The woman who I supposed to be a doctor, appeared quite shocked at first, but then looked back to her work and shook her head, a single sepia ringlet brushing against her swarthy freckled forehead. "I would expect nothing less from a friend from Sonic." Her amused smirk quickly dropped and she looked seriously into my eyes. "You are lucky he found you. You would've died otherwise."
"Yeah. I guess." I mumbled and looked to the ceiling fan above the bed. I was still weak and tired, so sleep was a good option for me. My ebony lids drooped and heavily fell down, sheltering my scarlet irises.
The doctor finished up and let out a heavy sigh. "It's best that you rest." She hummed before exiting.
I thought that rest was a thing I was going to gain. I grew further and further from the waking world, a slice of light hit my face as well as an annoying click sound.
'Great. Who's this?' I growled to myself, mentally bearing my small fangs. The annoyingness, unfortunately did not discontinued, instead, some unknown came over to the bedside. I squinted in hope of seeing the intruder.
In the darkness, a blue hue stood out, but only bleak. Greater than the blue was a pain of bright emerald eyes, which seemed to glow, only soft though.
'Sonic? Why is he here?' I thought to myself, oddly my anger dying down.
The said hedgehog sat down on the side of the bed and within about three seconds from doing that, began to lean down.
For a few moments, I had no idea what that cobalt hedgehog was doing, but all doubts were immediately disposed when his peach lips planet themselves unexpectedly on my own tanned ones.
I didn't react, I was frozen in shock. Did he really feel the same? The only way that question in the present time was to return this stolen kiss.
Well, well, well. Look who's coming out of the closet.
'OH C'MON! NOT YOU!' I growled to myself. I pulled away from the other, that damn voice was back.
Yes me. Why are you even denying? This persistance is stupid. You obviously like him and vice versa!
'We don't know that for sure.'
I think him kissing you is proof enough.
I growled in defeat but was pulled from my thoughts by an idiotic question from the painfully real world. "Shadow is you awake?"
"No, I'm fast asleep."
"Oh ha ha." Sonic said, hostility in his tone. "You hurt?" This was said in a way that implied he was worried.
"I'm covered in wounds so, feelin' fine!" I said, each word dripping with sarcasm and on the last two, said in an overly perky tone.
"Again with the sarcasm?"
"Again with the stupid questions?" My eyes fully opened to the cobalt hero, to bare a rather hostile glair.
Sonic only gave back a childish pout before idly scooting closer. "So, um… How long were you awake?"
A slowly sat up and lent forward. Aches stinging and buzzing over my wounds, by not stabbing at them like they were before. I came face-to-face with the blue speedster, emerald orbs flecked with a certain amount of worry and concern. Both having two totally different reasons. "Never really was asleep."
His eyes immediately snapped away from my own, nervously looking to his right knee which he cradled to his chest. "You were awake for…"
"Yes Sonic, you kissed me. I was awake for that."
"So, you're not mad?" He only gave me a half glair this time. I had never seen Sonic so anxious before. He always stood proud, with such a cocky grin on his face, never afraid of anything. And here he was now, avoiding almost all eye contact and afraid. Afraid of rejection.
"It surprised me to faker." We exchanged gazes one again, with more tension than awkwardness in the air. For some reason I smiled. It wasn't a full smile, toothy like a split watermelon moreover a small half-smile. One of those ones that only curve one side of your lip. But, it was a smile none the less.
"So do you…well." The blue hedgehog seemed lost for words, and only letting out low vaguely coherent mumbles but his question had made it across clear.
Are you admitting to it now Shadow?
I think I am thinking straight now. The voice I could now recognise and it didn't seem to have the attitude of a smart-ass child anymore. More of a kind little girl who could knows me more than my own self. 'I am.'
My grin grew slightly larger and I grabbed the blue one's chin so that eye contact was inevitable. Emerald irises filled with confusion and hope stained right back at me. Peach lips parted as if to say something but no words left them, only silent, gold-fish gapes. "Yes. I do like you Sonic. And I have found it is something I cannot deny."
A bright smile appeared on his lips and eyes clamped shut into a happy squint. And if I heard correctly, a small giggle vibrated on his vocals filling the dark room with bliss. The blue one's mouth opened again in hope of letting his words pass but I did not let it.
Tanned lips melded with peach and gold ringed hands glided through cobalt quills, forcing its owners head forward, deepening the kiss. I began to kiss with more ferocity, despite how tried, bashed up and sleep deprived I was, it was exhilarating to kiss the one you desired. And for him to kiss you back with the equal amount of passion could drive you up the wall and onto the roof even.
My hedgehog partner suddenly pushed against me. I was to 'in the moment' to really think and pushed harder against him, and pulled him in closer. Shifting his muzzle position, Sonic broke free of the kiss and began to wheeze and pant. That's when I realised I'd almost suffocated him.
"I'm sorry." Sonic wheezed, "It was great but I need to breathe."
I patted him on the back and smiled. "I should be apologizing, I'm too greedy. But I want your lips so your lungs can't have any."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa." My lover grinned. "Where's all this Mr. Romance coming from?"
"You know what, I don't know." I sighed and sunk back down into the mattress. I pulled back the sheets making Sonic jump off, but then motioned for him to join me.
He slipped inside and drew the blankets back over the two of us. Not that I had really noticed, but the bed was a king single, so there wasn't much room for us and our quills. Luckily, Sonic took no hesitation is resting his muzzle in the crook of my neck and wrapping his arms tightly around my torso. I stroked his back and began to fall asleep.
Sonic had said something but I was too tried to hear him right. Something about a tail.
~*DREAM SCAPE*~
The light was quite overwhelming.
I found a deep green cape had been draped around me. It had no straps just hung loosely upon my shoulders, not even clinging to my neck. I decided I'd be amazed and confused later, right now, I had to find out where I was.
I stood in a bright, white room. It had no features. Just an endless oasis of white. Except for one thing I could only just see. A small splodge of buttery gold.
I began to walk towards it, the figure growing more and more detail as I grew closer. It wasn't a splodge but a head of long blonde locks, and cut in a familiar feminie way. It wasn't the only thing either. Hidden by the white backdrop, was a white cape was flowing over the person's shoulders and it was so long it touched the floor. This presumed girl was familiar to me. Very familiar.
"M-Maria is that you?" I called, my voice shaking a bit.
The said girl turned around to reveal soft delicate features and big round blue eyes. She wore a white wooden headband, which neatly kept her hair in check. She showed her usual dress, except white and the collar, hemming and buttons were blue. Unlike my own cape, hers was stitched to her dress with blue thread that stood out against the white fabric.
"Shadow!" The Robotnik child sung, wrapping her pale arms around me. Her soft voice was identical to the one which had guided me earlier on, when I had admitted to Sonic.
"Maria I've missed you." I whispered returning her embrace.
"How could've you missed me when I was with you the whole time, silly?" She chirped happily, having a bright grin on her face.
"I've missed your physical presence. How about that?" I said a smile of my own pursing tanned lips.
"Smarty, smarts." She said, tussling my head. "I'm so happy you came around!"
"I know you helped me but are you okay with me… liking another guy in that way?" I said, a blush tinting my cheeks.
"Shadow I don't care who you love. If they're a different race, species or gender I don't care! AS long as you're happy."
"So you approve of Sonic?"
"Approve of him? Shadow I'm very glad you have someone like that in your life! He could teach you a thing or two about your attitude." She smiled, jokingly shaking a single finger.
I simply rolled my eyes and smiled.
Time seemed to fly, and Maria's smile fell of her face. "Shadow. I'm afraid our time is up." She said, looking at me with a saddened expression.
"No! Please stay!"
"I want to Shadow but I must leave. You have Sonic waiting for you in the waking world." She leant forward and kissed me on the forehead.
Slowly she turned into blue in white glitter, which hit my hands and feet as tears welled in my eyes. The white turned to a shade of grey, which grew darker every second till it was completely black.
~*DREAM SCAPE*~
Sonic: Skullzy!
Me: What ails thee?
Sonic: The chapters ended!
Me: Oh. Hast thou seen fair Shadow?
Shadow: I went to tell Skullzy's other 'works' that she's finally snapped. I got off the phone with her other two multiple chapter stories and they didn't seem too pleased.
When I talked to Mehime, she said Wonderlands doing really bad since no-one will give it a chance just 'cuz its and OC story. Sadly, Skullzy's already written the next two chapters and has the whole damn thing planned out and it's going to be really good.
All: BUT NO-ONE LIKES OC'S.
Shadow: Then I talked to Mephiles in Silver who were pissed as hell because Skullzy hasn't updated or even written the next chapter to Love, Lust and Envy. Her Mephilver stage has passed (Bring on the Mephadow) She's forgotten where the story's going and now likes Blaze. I think she's going to delete it.
Me: Yes quite. I was pondering, Perchance thou readers wish for further intimacy in the anon chapters?
Sonic: What?
Shadow: She wants to know if we should have sex.
Sonic: Yes. No. It depends if she's going to have her sadistic habits about it.
Shadow: This Heart's pretty squishy. I mean, we haven't even gotten to the main complication yet, which isn't pinpointed to one individual.
Sonic: Whaa? What's the main problem?
Shadow: You didn't read the summary sheet Skullzy gave you. Did you?
Sonic: ….No. Was that important?
Me & Shadow: *HeadDesk*
Me: Aroint, does thou readers see that box at the bottom of the web page?
Sonic: What? The review box?
Me: Yea. Pirthee verily, could thou readers tell I, whether to or to not write a so called 'lemon'? Grammarcy. I fare-thee-well, e'en the morrow dear readers!
