I'm just a slave: chapter 10
Sonic's POV
Pfff, and i thinking he would finally call me by my first name, but no. He had to continue calling me 'master'. "master? are you okay?" Shadow asked after he saw me slam my head against the bed. I nodded with a pout and turned to look outside. "thank you." I heard him say and in response i glanced at me. "for what?" I said clueless. "for staying with me the whole night of course." He said. "i see." I said. "you should go and eat breakfast, master." Shadow said and i swore that he had put emphasis on the word 'master' for some reason. Maybe he was playing a little joke. "was that a joke?" I asked and caught him blushing in embarrassement. "you noticed?" He asked and looked away. "yeah i did. i'm glad. it's good to know that you like to make jokes once in a while aswell." I said. That seemed to lessen his embarrassement. "but, i was being serious went i said that you needed to eat breakfast. i can hear you stomache from here." he said and this time it was my turn to blush in embarrassement. He was right. My stomache had been growling the whole time, but i didn't want to go out. If i did, then i would certainly run into that little barbie.
I laid my head back down on the matress and tried to ignore my stomache's growling. "master, you need to eat." Shadow said. "yeah i know, but if i go out then i will have to face that annoying princess." I said in annoyence. "a princess?" He asked in confusion. He was probably not aware of this little promise that my parents broke by bringing a lady in here. "not a real princess. but actually the daughter of the duke and the duchess. remember that promise my mom and dad made me?" I asked and watched shadow nod as an answer. "well, my parents broke that promise by bringing her here." I said and sat back upright. "she's going to be your wife, isn't she?" Shadow asked. He sounded strangely sad. "if mom and dad don't do something about it? then yes." I said sighing. "you shouldn't give up hope, master. maybe this girl is your true love. i'm sure that you'll be happy with her." Shadow said. How oblivious he was. "i won't ever be happy with her! not as happy as with someone else." I said and left the room after getting up.
Shadow's POV
I blinked and watched him go. I wonder what made him snap. I didn't think that i was saying something wrong. Or atleast i hoped so. We were getting closer, so i really hoped that i didn't say anything that could make him stay away and ignore me again. I wouldn't want that to happen. It had been since the first time we met that we had been this close. I would want to keep getting close to him. I didn't want to push him away again.
I heard the door open again and saw sonic walking in with a plate. He sat down on the chair and ate from the food on the plate. I watched him as he did that. "what? i'm eating breakfast just like you had told me." He said and continued his meal. I smiled and watched him. It was good to know that he listened to me. Normally poeple from high class wouldn't bother listening to a low class slave like me. But sonic did. And that's what made him special.
