Chapter 3: Jealousy's an Ugly Trait pt. 1
"Guess who's home!" Amy cheered in the open doorway with one of Shadow's arm slung over her shoulder. Sonic, Tails, Cream, and Knuckles looked up.
"Hey buddy." Sonic grinned at him, and stood up to meet Amy. She helped Shadow sit down, careful of his injured leg.
"So, what's up?" Sonic had asked when Amy walked back to him.
"Oh, Shadow? Severed aorta in he thigh and near his heart, a couple bruises here and there. I'll check up on him though, to make sure he's doing alright of course." Amy said tiredly, she had stayed with Shadow until he was released.
"You sure?" Sonic cocked an eyebrow at her.
"Yeah, why?" Amy flipped her bangs back coolly.
"Can I, talk to you for a sec, ya know, in private?" Sonic turned back to look at Shadow, already in a steady game of chess with Tails. Knuckles and Cream asked him questions concerning how he was feeling, if he needed anything, or if he was hurting. Sonic looked back at Amy, who was staring at Shadow intently, watching his every move. Amy snapped out of her trance when she felt herself being dragged by the arm into the hallway connecting the bedrooms.
"Whatcha need?" Amy asked, prepping herself for a task.
"I need you to tell me what's going on."
"What do you mean, Sonic?" Amy was clearly puzzled. Had something happened while she was gone? She surely hoped Helen hadn't lost her temper again on the team. Amy told her she had one last time to blow up for no reason.
"I mean, what's going on with you and Shadow."
"I don't understand what you're getting at, Sonic." Amy said quickly. For a splitsecond, Sonic really felt like saying 'Don't play stupid with me' to her, but it would only make her mad, and he surely didn't need that in this situation.
"Look, all I'm saying is, maybe you two need to warm up to each other before something happens that you won't like." Sonic sighed, rubbing his quills.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Amy stomped her foot, fists clenched. Sonic held back the laugh bubbling in his throat, she looked like she did when she was twelve.
"You're adorable, you know that?" Sonic grinned slyly. In all honesty, he only wanted to piss off Amy more, but when she stopped her short tantrum, Sonic knew he was in too deep.
"W-what?" Amy's angry tone faltered in the place of shyness and innocence. Sonic looked down at her, a softer expression on his face.
"You. my dear Ames, are adorable. I could just pinch your cute little cheeks all day." Sonic chuckled a little. Amy's face went bright red as she looked down quickly.
"Better be talkin' bout the ones on my face..." Amy whispered to herself, barely audible to her own ears.
And that was all Shadow needed to hear.

"All set, Shadow?" Rouge asked, wanting to make her grumpy friend as comfy as possible.
"Hmph."
"Something...wrong?" Rouge looked at him.
"No." Shadow answered quickly.
"Hey guys." Sonic plopped down next to Shadow, who only 'hmphed' in response.
"Sonic! You didn't wait up for me.." Amy walked into the room pouting.
"Well hello there." Rouge shifted in her seat.
"Hey. No seats? This sucks ass, major." Amy huffed.
"Aw what? Come on, you got one right here." Sonic patted his lap.
"What..." Amy stared at him.
"Come on." Sonic patted his legs again.
"No, I'm fine.." Amy backed up a little.
"Sit it down."
"No no..."
"Plop it."
"I don't really.."
"Drop dat ass."
"What the...?"
"Ya know ya wanna."
"I really don't."
Come on.."
"Sonic, you're creeping me out."
"Come on..." And with that Amy gave up as soon as Sonic wiggled his eyebrows at her.
"We good here?" Shadow gruffly asked.
"Yes." Amy said quickly.
"Mmhmm." Sonic hummed out, holding Amy's hips as she sat on him.
"Don't do that." She swatted his hand away.
"Do what?" Sonic asked.
"Don't put your hands on me."
"Why?"
"You are seriously the most awkward hedgehog ever." Amy started to get up, but Sonic pulled her down.
"I didn't mean like that Amy, promise." Sonic held up his hands.
"Okay.." Amy settled back on him.
"Man, you have got some wide ass hips." Sonic murmered. *THWACK*
"What the hell?" Amy turned around.
"Okay..." Rouge was seriously into where this was going.
"What the actual fuck?!" Shadow hissec under his breath.
"Oh come on, you act like I find you sexually interesting."
"What am I sitting on right now." Amy blankly asked, eyes lowered in annoyance.
"My dick." Sonic blankly answered.
"I'm leaving." Amy got up quickly.
"Wait!" Shadow called out to her.
"What?" Amy turned around, very annoyed.
"There's a chair beside me, I mean, if you still want to sit down, it doesn't really matter, I just thought, you'd like to be in a better position since Sonic's an asshole. You don't have to if you wish to leave, which is completely understandable." Shadow's deep voice was out of character as he spoke quickly.
"Oh, well, um, sure." Amy flashed a quick smile and sat next to Shadow awkwardly. "How's it going?" She asked, to get a conversation going. Shadow panicked inside, he didn't know how to act now that he got what he wanted, Amy away from Sonic.
"I love you." Shadow whispered deeply, eyes wide, palms sweaty.
"What?"
"Nothing." Shadow put on his nonchalant face.
"Jealousy's an ugly trait Shadow." Sonic laughed loudly.
