Sin's Punishment
Chapter seven
While Sonic stayed in the apartment of Shadow the hedgehog, the ebony hedgehog had went to G.U.N's military base in order to fill out the report to his last mission, but he couldn't clear his mind enough to even begin that damn report.
"Earth to Shadow!" Rouge called his name for what seemed like the twentieth time that minute as she waved her hands vigorously in front of his face.
Quickly, Shadow snapped out of it and he brought all focus on the bat girl that stood in front of him with her arms on her hips, "yes?"
She sat on his desk, "you're distracted," she put it simply, "I can tell. About what?"
There was a reason why he had been so absentminded today, in fact, there was a few reasons as to why he couldn't bring any of his attention to write that report and file it. It was probably for the best that he didn't tell Rouge, but she was his best friend. If he didn't tell her would he be lying to her?
Rouge frowned, "now I can tell that something really is off with you," she quickly pulled her body close so that her huge breasts was in his face and she smirked, "maybe I can cheer you up."
Blood raced up to Shadow's face and he turned a bright red, "N...no I'm fine. Just get your boobs out of my fuckin' face before I choose to pop them!"
She giggled and pulled away, but remained sitting on his desk, "then you going to tell me what's wrong?"
He sighed, "there is nothing wrong," he replied.
"Really, now?" she questioned and pulled in close once again, "that look of distraction is all the proof that I need or is it that I'm so beautiful that you keep thinking about me? Hmm? Are you thinking about me? If you are, what are YOU doing to ME?"
He narrowed his eyes with annoyance, "yes, Rouge, I am thinking about you. I'm thinking about how much of a slut you are. Now you want to know what I'm doing to you? Absolutely nothing."
She frowned, "why must you always be so charming?" she asked him with a hint of seduction.
He cocked an eyebrow, sensing what was going on here, "charming? I wouldn't say charming. Now get off my desk."
She took in a deep breath and did as she was told, "why must you suck out all the fun?"
"First I'm charming and now I'm a fun spoiler...pretty interesting combination you have going on here, bat girl." 'What the fuck does she have going on in her tiny ass brain?'
Rouge gave off a small smile and folded her arms over her chest, giving her breasts an unneeded extra push upwards, "I'm just trying to figure out what goes on in that head of yours, don't I have the right to be concerned about you? After all, Shadow, I am your friend. Or is it just me, but you seem to have forgotten that little fact."
Shadow stood from his desk with the empty report in his hand and opened the door, "I haven't forgotten, Rouge," he explained it to her and faced her again, "there's a whole lot of shit going on and it's not my place to say what."
"Then who's place is it then?"
"I can't answer that either," he told her, "tell the commander I'm heading home for the day. I will have this for him by tomorrow."
Before Rouge could have a say in the matter, Shadow had already walked out of the office, and she gave off another sigh, 'he's such a trouble maker.'
L-x-x-x-x-x-W
About ten minutes later, Shadow had made it to his place and he opened the door. Once he walked in, he realized that Sonic was still asleep on the couch. Where he had left him. Silently, he tossed the papers onto the kitchen table and sat down his house key next to it. Sonic needed his rest after his little break down yesterday.
He walked towards the couch and stared down on the hedgehog, then, bend down to an eye level, and placed a hand to Sonic's cheek.
"Sha-dow..." Sonic mumbled in his sleep as he nuzzled his face into Shadow's hand and Shadow flinched with shock. Why did Sonic just say his name in his sleep?
Slowly, he pulled his hand away and he was sure that his face had turned into a darker shade of red. After all that, could it be that Sonic did have romantic feelings for Shadow or did he just say Shadow's name out loud because he knew it was his touch?
Now that Shadow did take a closer look at the sleeping hedgehog, he did look rather...
Quickly, he shook his head and stood back up, 'no, I can't even begin to think that way.'
He let out a sigh and leaned his body against the wall with his arms folded over his chest. There was so many things wrong with this situation. For starters, he slowly felt himself drawn to this weaker much frail version of the hero. A part of him wanted to do everything in his power to protect him, yet another part of him wanted Sonic to remain frail, weak. He enjoyed seeing him like this. Was that wrong of him? The next problem was the child. It shouldn't even exist and Shadow still didn't know if Sonic wanted to actually keep it or get rid of it, permanently. He, again, let a another sigh and pushed himself away from the wall to walk into the kitchen, but paused to look back behind him when he had a heard a small movement from Sonic.
Now, the azure hedgehog was awake. Maybe from pain coming from his stomach or maybe he heard Shadow had come home, either way, Sonic rubbed his eyes before giving Shadow a small smile, "you're home early," he replied.
Shadow gave off a shrug, "I couldn't concentrate."
"Really? Why's that?"
When Shadow never gave off an answer it was easy for Sonic to figure out what was on his mind and he frowned while staring down at the ground, "I see..." was his simple answer.
Shadow faced the hedgehog and walked back up to him, then, sat beside him on the couch while gently rubbing Sonic's back. When Sonic started to give off a light purr, Shadow swiftly pulled away, shocked after hearing that come out of Sonic's throat. Sonic had spoke his name in his sleep and purred whenever Shadow rubbed his back. Shadow, on the other hand, kissed him because a part of him hated seeing Sonic in tears and even started to rub his back. But, why?
Annoyed by the unanswered question, Shadow let out a growl and pinned Sonic down on the couch, "why are you doing this to me?!" he snapped on Sonic as he dug his fingers into Sonic's arm.
Sonic let out a pain of protest as he started to squirm under Shadow's torso, "do...do what?!" he managed to shout back.
"This! These fuckin' emotions that have been wilding up inside of me ever since THAT night!"
That night...
Sonic let out a small gasp and he stopped struggling, "that...that night...you DO remember it."
"More then I should," he answered calmy, but his grip remained tight on the hedgehog's arm, blood now began to drip from the cut, and Sonic let off a small wince.
"Shadow...please...just please let go of my arm..." Sonic begged while his fear became noticable.
Realizing the pain that he was causing his counterpart, Shadow released his grip on his arms and sat up, ashamed of himself. How could he react like that to Sonic? Sonic never did anything wrong.
'So why...?' he thought as he looked down at his hands and started to shake, 'and these strange feelings that I have...what do they even mean?'
To be continued...

Sonic: why are you always hurting me, Shads?
Shadow: It's fun.
