Ok so I just realized I could actually enter the chapters names when I add stories so hopefully chapters titles won't just be Chapter 1, Chapter 2, etc. Ok this is Shadamy so if you don't like them then don't read. Anyway on with the story!
Can Opposites Attract?
Shadow's POV
Leaning against a tree, I watched the residents go about their day. These mobians rarely bothered me and thats how I liked it. The only ones who spoke to me was Faker and his friends and that wasn't exactly something I was ecstatic about. Sure I might get lonely at times but I'd rather be alone than listen to Faker ramble on about some idiotic thing. Closing my eyes I listened to the sounds around me. It was quieter today since it was winter so most people stayed indoors. There wasn't any snow but it was chilly outside.
Reopening my eyes, I felt my heart skip a beat as I found a pair of jade eyes staring at me. The owner was a familiar pink female hedgehog. A growl of annoyance was uttered from my throat as I shot her a glare.
"What do you want Pinky?" I asked turning my head.
Amy Rose frowned at her nickname and crossed her arms,"Well I came over here to see if you had any plans but if your just going to be mean then forget it!"
Turning my full attention on her, I raised an eyebrow. "Why would you want to know that?"
Amy looked down at the ground which was unusual for her,"Its just that I noticed your always by yourself so I thought maybe for once you'd like to hang out. Its Christmas morning and no one deserves to be alone on Christmas. Not even you Shadow."
Hearing her say that caused an unfamiliar feeling in my chest and stomach. What was this feeling? It was pleasant but it made me feel...flustered? Ignoring the feeling, I returned my attention on the pink female before me.
"Why me though? What about Faker?" I asked feeling curious. She jumped at any chance to spend time with the annoying blue furball.
"I've decided to take a break from Sonic. He's sort of been distant and...off. I don't know." She let out a sigh and looked up at me,"I noticed you just standing here so I decided that I could spend time with you and get to know you better!"
It was then that she reached forward and grabbed my hand. Because of this action my face grew warm and I sensed myself feeling flustered again. Pulling my hand away, I looked off into the distance so she wouldn't see me blush.
"I guess we can hang out. I have nothing better to do," I replied with no emotion in my voice.
A squeal pierced my ears as she embraced me,"I'm so glad! Lets go to my place where its warm!" Without waiting for a reply, Amy began to drag me to her apartment.
The pink hedgehog led me to the complex she lived in and we soon arrived infront of her door. Amy unlocked her door and invited me inside. I was quite suprised by the inside since it wasn't what I expected. The place wasn't completely pink or blue. The walls were a nice shade of light brown and the floor was wood; walnut to be exact. The furniture was modern and went well with the colors of her apartment. The place actually appealed to me and I wouldn't mind hanging out here for a bit.
Amy Rose went into the small kitchen and went over to the fridge,"Do you want something to drink Shadow? Are you hungry?" She turned back to me as she grabbed some ice tea.
I just shook my head in response. Something about her just made me want to stay here. I felt attracted towards her and that scared me. These emotions were foreign and I didn't want to get hurt by showing or following them. Rose is very attractive but it wasn't just her looks that attracted me. She also has an amazing personality. Don't get me wrong, she has her annoying quirks but who doesn't. Somehow she manages to encourage others and compels them to open up. Like the time on the Ark she was able to remind me that Maria didn't want me to avenge her death but let the residents live happily.
"Shadow why are you staring at the television? Nothings on," her sweet voice reminded me of where I was.
Turns out I had been staring at a blank tv screen like an idiot,"I was thinking."
Amy sat next to me and lightly sipped her drink before setting it down on the coffee table. I felt uncomfortable as her green eyes watched me. My red eyes locked with hers as she began speaking.
"Shadow...do you like being alone? No offense but I would hate to not have any friends or no one to trust." A small frown was on her muzzle as she spoke.
Sighing, I looked up at the ceiling. "Its not that I like being alone. I don't...feel comfortable around others. You have to see if from my view. Everyone tends to think I'm anti-social and that I'll just back stabbed them. Its just easier to not make friends. Its useless to have friends or get to know someone." My eyes glanced back down at her and seeing her expression made me feel quilty. A small tear slid down her cheek and I quickly began to rephrase my sentence,"Its not that I don't want to know you or anything! I haven't had any reason to make friends. I just find it hard to be as social as everyone."
I stopped as the pink one shook her head indicating me to stop talking. Using one of her gloved hands, she wiped the tear away and gave me a small smile.
"I'm not crying because of that. I sort of feel bad that you feel that way. It has to be hard to watch everyone talking and laughing with friends while you have no one." Slowly, I watched her cautiously as she shuffled closer to me. "I think that you should lower your wall sometimes so everyone can know the real you. You act cold and uncaring which caused the others to be afraid of you and then they don't want to get near you." Again she scooted closer to me,"I was lucky and was able to see the real you for a moment."
By now my cheeks were as red as my stripes. She kept getting closer and closer but the strange thing was I wasn't stopping her. All I wanted to do was embrace her and just kiss her but I wasn't sure how she would react to that. I didn't want to risk a slap on the face and I didn't want to offend her in any way.
"R-Rose I need to use the restroom!" Before she could reply, I dashed off as fast as I could.
Locating the bathroom, I easily shut the door behind me and took a few deep breaths. What is going on with me? I have a mental barrier around myself but a few minutes with her and its knocked down like a house of cards. How was she able to get inside my head and reawake my emotions? Going over to the sink, I slashed cold water on my face. Feeling more alert from the cold sensation, I looked up at my reflection.
"I can do this. All I have to do is keep my cool until its time to leave. Thats not so hard," I frowned at myself as I realized I was talking to myself. Great, now I'm going crazy.
Taking one last deep breath I prepared to head back out. Exiting the bathroom, I spotted the Rose still on the couch. A sly smile broke out across her muzzle as her eyes landed on me.
"Have fun in there?" Amy asked with an innocent look on her face.
Feeling uneasy now I stopped dead in my tracks. "Its a bathroom so I wouldn't use the word fun...what were you doing while I was gone?"
A giggle followed my question and that made me cautious,"Oh nothing. Just sat here waiting for you."
The innocent smile had replaced the sly one but that didn't make me feel any better. Heading back over to the couch, I took my former spot. However, I noticed the smile on the pink hedgehogs face widen as soon as I sat down. The female then leaned forward and I could feel her breath on my ear.
"I think you should look up," she whispered.
Listening, my crimson eyes slowly traveled up and landed on something dangling from the ceiling. Hanging from a string was a small mistletoe. When did that get there?
"You know what that means right?" Amy purred in my ear as heat rushed to my face. "You have to kiss me."
Snapping my head around, I just stared at her in shock and bewilderment. I knew I most likely looked like a deer caught in the headlights but I had just been ambushed by a little twig. A lump had formed in my throat as I realized there was no way out of it. I could make a run for it but she might of locked the door; also I didn't want to risk getting hit with that hammer. She might think I don't want to kiss her and offending her usually resulted in the appearance of that piko piko hammer.
Amy Rose closed her green eyes and leaned towards me. Giving in, I closed the distance between our lips. Once we made contact it was like an electrical shock ran through my entire body. Without thinking I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms around her waist. I felt her arms lightly rest around my neck as we continued kissing. Air soon became an issue so we broke apart, gasping for air. We were both blushing as we made eye contact. Staring into her eyes, it was as if I was drowning in a sea of jade. They were so beautiful and enchanting that I couldn't look away. Sadly, she broke our eye contact as she looked down at her hands as she fiddled with her bracelets.
"Wow...that was...amazing." Amy Rose said as she tried to find words to explain how she felt. "I'm glad you came over." She kept her eyes locked on her hands as she spoke.
I couldn't help but smirk seeing her acting all nervous. I lightly placed my finger under her chin and lifted it up until our eyes met. Her intense gaze seemed to stare directly at me as she searched my face for any signs of regret or disgust. The blush remained on her cheeks as mine slowly faded.
I gave her a smile as I replied,"I'm glad you convinced me to come over Miss Rose." Leaning forward I lightly whispered in her ear,"And I enjoyed that kiss. Not to mention we are still under the mistletoe."
She smiled up at me as she rested her head on my chest,"Merry Christmas Shadow."
"Merry Christmas Rose." I lighlty stroked her quils.
For the second time that day we kissed. I don't regret what happened and Christmas is definitely my new favorite holiday.
Willowpelt12:"Yay! Another chapter done! I am actually quite proud of this chapter. I've never done a Shadamy chapter so I think this turned out well. Ok, I'm going to say this ahead of time' I'm sorry if any chapters are similiar or share any themes together but its hard to think of a new plot for each one. I won't make two exactly the same but I might use the mistletoe idea again. Next up is Shadouge!"
Shadow:"Excuse me? You just had me kiss Amy and already I'm going to be in another chapter, And with Rouge."
Willowpelt12:"Alot of people love you. Also after Shadouge I'm going to do Shadikal. Which should be my last couple with Shadow."
Shadow:"Geez! I am getting tossed from one girl to another. But who wouldn't want to be with the Ultimate Lifeform?"
