Shadow's POV
As I looked down in Rose's eyes I saw a lot. Want, need, pain, lust, anger, sadness; everything. I wanted to kiss her so badly my instincts were screaming 'Take her! Take her now and here!' But I resisted. She needed comfort not that.
"Shadow? Will you love me?"
Was my mind playing tricks on me or did she really just say that?
"Shadow?" I looked at her glassy eyes. Oh so much was running through my mind at once! The trial, and Amy ugh!
"Wait do you mean..as in..? I'm sorry I'm having a hard time comprehending this."
She grabbed my hand gently. "I'm asking...will you be my-"
" 'Cus meh. 'Cu meh! I need you to pay ya bill and take yo lil soap opera somewhere else. Ya distracting eryone."
This waitress was getting on my nerves but when I looked around all eyes were on us. Some were blushing and sitting on the edge of their seats. Were we really that long? I guess we are like drama or whatever. Amy straightened herself; her face rosey red and I back away giving the waitress the money so she could leave.
"Let's go and continue elsewhere."
I heard a few aws in disappointment which definitely made me want to leave. Amy nodded and we left together. Not knowing where to go exactly we just walked around til we ended up at the park.
We didn't say much as we walked, I guess she was still embarrassed. I was gonna say something but she beat me to it.
"What I wanted to say back there was, will you go out with me?"
She kept her head down and played with a curl in her hair. I smirked and replied, "But I'm already out with you Rose. So what do you mean?"
She played with the curl more and looked at her with determined eyes with fire. Those were the eyes I remember. "I'm mean..will you be my boyfriend?"
I leaned closer to her til our noses were touching and our lips were brushing each other. My actions made her jump slightly. I hovered over her as I caressed her cheek. "Hell yeah." I planted the kiss softly. She tasted like strawberries and cream, she smelled like vanilla and honeysuckles. She pulled me closer, wrapping her arms around me. I didn't mind; I've wanted to do this for years.
We pulled away to breathe and we both were smiling. "I love that smile. It fits perfect for you."
She smiled more and started blushing again. I took her hand and looked straight in her eyes. "Amy Rose, I promise to protect you and nothing will ever make you cry again. As long as I see that beautiful smile on your face then I'm happy and nothing can bring me down."
She jumped in my arms and whispered, "that's all I ever wanted to hear…"
We stayed like that for awhile. I offer to walk her home since it was getting late. She accepted and we walked holding hands.
"Also, about your party. Rouge posted some interesting pictures and videos." I sang. I wanted to talk to her about this too but now we're together I don't have to hold back my feelings. "And I'll admit I love what I saw. Never thought you had a wild side."
"What all did you see?!"
"Oh nothing, just you twerking in a chair, everyone taking body shots and regular shots, you in your bikini, dancing, swimming."
"Oh fuck.. I'm gonna kill Rouge! You didn't see us playing truth or dare did you?"
I shook my head but I was now interested. "No but we did see the text Tails got from Cream so I'm gonna take a guess and say that was a date right?"
She nodded and laugh. "I can't believe she did it though. Our little Cream isn't little anymore."
"I agree. And neither are you. Believe me when I say this, and I don't like it, but Sonic knows how well you grew up and he regrets it. Regrets not giving you a chance, for lying to you for hurting you. If you could've heard him the other night."
"Why should he care when he has Sally?"
"If Sally wasn't the control freak bitch that she is do you really think I wouldn't try anything with you looking hotter than her?"
"Am I hotter than Sally?" She smirked at me.
"Look I'm saying this not because I'm your boyfriend but because I'm a guy. Yes you're way hotter than Sally you have bigger tits, slimmer waist, beautiful hips, curves all in the right places. You look like you're more in shape than her. Beautiful hair, eyes, lips, cheeks-"
"Cheeks?"
"Tsk facial cheeks Rose."
"Oh hehe."
"Your ass is nice too."
"Shadow!"
"Hey I'm just stating facts. I did say I'm saying this cause I'm a guy."
We laughed til she squeezed my hand. "Thank you..I really needed to hear that. For so long I felt like I had to compete with her. Not just for Sonic's affection. But who could compete with a princess?"
"She might be a princess but you're a queen Rose. And others would agree with me."
She hugged me and I smiled. I never felt this happy in long time.
When we made it back she invited me inside. As much as I wanted to I said no. "Sorry, I promised Silver I would help him with some files from GUN. But how about we go on a real date tomorrow? If you're not busy."
"I'm totally free tomorrow what time?"
"12?"
"Yeah that's great!"
"Ok I'll see you tomorrow. Night Rose."
She waved at me and went inside. When she closed the door I did backflips. I ran to Silver's house to help with his work and tell him about the day.
Amy's House No POV
Amy closed the door and sighed softly in happiness.
"Looks like you had fun. Where you been?"
Amy turned around and saw Riko's piercing eyes glowing in the dark house sitting at the stairs. Amy looked at her as she turned the lights on.
"Out."
"Out where?"
"Just out jeez, I'm grown can't I have a life?" Amy walked past her to living room.
"Amy!"
"What!"
Riko looked at her smirking. "You was with the dark knight wasn't you? Otherwise you wouldn't be acting this way."
Amy sighed annoyed now. "Yes if you must be a stalker I was with Shadow. We had lunch, hung out, and going on a date tomorrow."
Riko's eyes grew. "First off, you hired and paid me to be a stalker; Second you going on a date?!"
"Yep. Oh and I mention we're dating now?"
Riko fell off the stairs from trying to run and jumped on the couch next to Amy. "What?!"
"Jealous?" Amy smirked at her.
"No! Yes. Maybe. Hmmm nah. He can have you; besides you been wanting him for like forever now. All you talked and dreamed about back home was Shadow Shadow Shadow. It was only amount of time before I had to give you up."
"Sooo...you're ok with it? Your not gonna do anything crazy?"
"Well, I was gonna fight him to near death before I hang you over, but I got better things to do. Besides we're still friends right? No big deal." Riko layed her head on Amy's shoulder. Amy looked down at her.
"So your not gonna beg me to stay with you?" Riko sat up and leaned closer to Amy almost kissing her. "Amy it sounds to me you want me to beg and go off a jealous rampage. You before know you can't have your cake and eat it too. But if you want I can still fight the Dark Knight til he can't crawl again and you can nurse his pitiful self back to health. How does that sound?"
Amy gulped knowing Riko wasn't kidding around but knew she would also be walking away half dead fight the ultimate life form. Amy shook her head and even the playing field. "I'm just asking cause I know you have an obsession over me and looked like the type to do as such."
"Obsessed? I'm not obsessed I'll be honest I like you a lot I'm protective of you I'll kill for you but not out of obsession. Remember I've never done anything that much with you cause of guilty Conscience."
Riko was right. They were friends but with small benefits. After Amy got over her fear of men and being touched; she started to explore herself and got caught fingering herself by Riko. Amy remembers that night and their deal. Every time Amy felt extremely horny and her fingers weren't enough she would ask Riko to go down on her but no toys. Even though her virginity was gone and first time ruined she wanted her true love to enter her. Riko didn't mind being used as a stress reliever; she told Amy she was bisexual and went to parties that helped her relieve stress.
"Yeah what was I thinking. We're cool?"
"Duh. Oh by the way you think if I ask Rouge she'll agree to threesome?"
"Riko!"
"What? Girl got body and you knew I wasn't gonna try to hit that."
The girls laughed til their stomachs hurt. Riko calmed herself down enough to speak.
"But seriously congrats on the getting your man. But I have one question."
Amy raised an eyebrow at her. "Are you still gonna go through with the plan or do you want me to do it and cover you. I don't mind going down for you."
Amy looked down deep in thought. "I don't wanna lose him now that I got him. But I can't you go down for me."
"At the end of the day, he'll still love you no matter what."
Amy stayed quiet and Riko laid on her shoulder. "Just think about it. We have a whole week. So in the meantime I'm going to text Rouge, go up to my room and cry that my beloved Amy has left me for another oh how will I ever go on." Riko stood up fake crying in her arm. Amy giggled and handed her a plastic bag. "How about with this?"
Riko's ears perked up and took the bag and quickly pulled out the contents. "Tentacles Sluts 9! Fucking A! Amy I love you! Maybe I shouldn't let him have you.."
"Oh go to your room and watch your tentacles."
Riko hugged Amy and skipped upstairs. "And don't be giving Rouge and weird ideas!"
"Too late! Just texted her!"
Amy shook her head and went to her room. Passing Riko's door hearing the moans and screams coming from the DVD she gave her Amy would never understand her friends fetish.
She went to her bathroom and started taking a shower. Her phone went off and saw it was a text from Shadow.
Shadow: Wyd?
Amy: in the shower
Shadow: Wish I was there
Shadow: I could help wash your back
Amy: lol we just started dating and we're sexting already
Shadow: no not sexting I'm flirting buuut
Amy: but what?
Shadow: it could turn into sexting ;)
Amy: so I can be sleepy during our date? I'll pass lol
Shadow: good point.
Shadow: Well can I have something to dream about?
Amy: (photo of her foot)
Shadow: aw just a foot not even an leg or thigh? Teasing isn't nice Rose
Amy: :P
Shadow: fine I'll dream of sucking your toes then~
Amy: lol omg ew!
Shadow: you like it
Amy: shut up I don't and let me shower perv!
Shadow: XD 3
Amy giggled and finished her shower and jumped in bed. Curling up in her pillows and blanket she fell asleep quickly. Outside Amy's door sat Riko with an twisted evil smile on her face.
"Sorry Amy; but I think I've changed my mind.~"
The Next Day
Amy was up getting dressed for her date with Shadow as Riko sat in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal. "You think o should go casual plain or casual sexy? Oh or classy?" Amy asked holding up clothes on hangers.
"Bitch I don't know, you're gonna be sexy no matter what you wear."
Amy rolled her eyes and pouted. "Come on help me please! He'll be here any minute!"
"That's what you get not setting your alarm and dating a speedster."
"Riko!"
"Ugh! Look wear the blue jean low riders with my red bralette sleeveless crop top vest. It'll show off your boobs and waist but not in a slutty way."
"Thanks!" Amy ran up stairs to Riko's closet and Riko mumbled a yeah as she ate. When Amy came down she smiled happily.
"Now what shoes? Open toe or closed?"
"Shouldn't you oh I don't know call Rouge or Blaze for this? Wear the red wedges."
"By the way, please tell me you didn't call Rouge last night for that foolishness."
"No I didn't call. I texted and she said-"
"Ahh ahh I don't wanna know!"
"You asked!" Amy slid her shoes on and brushed her hair leaving it down and straight. She started doing her eyeliner when the doorbell rang. Riko answered and saw Shadow standing there in a leather jacket and grey pants holding a bouquet of flowers. "Hey Riko how are you?"
"Good day to you Dark Lord I'm doing fine why don't you come in and have a seat, the mistress of light will be down shortly." Riko walked away smiling leaving Shadow completely confused. "Um...ok."
"So where you taking Amy today? The beach? The movies? The moon?"
Shadow lightly chuckled. "Well the movies part is right and I'm taking her to dinner."
"Oh ok cool. Have fun."
"You kinda are funny. I guess we can get along."
"Aww and here I thought I'd have to kill you.~"
There was a pause before both started laughing. "See you're getting my jokes."
Amy came down to see them laughing and looked at Riko for answers.
"Oh! Amy your Dark Knight is here."
Shadow stood up to greet Amy and admire her beauty. "Rose you look amazing. These are for you."
Shadow handed her the flowers and Amy's couldn't stop smiling. "I love lilies! Thank you Shadow." She gives him a kiss on the cheek and he blushes lightly.
Riko bounced on the couch. "Are you guys leaving anytime soon? I have 30 minutes to get ready and meet Rouge and Knuckles."
"Oh you hanging out with them today Riko?" Shadow asked turning to her.
"Funny you asked Dark Knight; I'm heading over there to-" Amy shoved a lily in Riko's mouth quickly. "TMI! Come on Shadow let's go." Amy pulled an again confused Shadow towards the door. Riko spits the flower out before she choked and replied, "he asked! And he might want to join!"
Amy pushed Shadow out the door and yelled back, "I doubt it!" She slammed the door to only hear laughing behind it. Shadow looked down at Amy. "Um do I wanna know?"
"Yes and no. I'll tell you later, so what's first?"
Shadow took Amy the movie theater at on his motorcycle. The pick of movies were Guardians of the Galaxy 2, F8, Logan, and Wonder Woman. Shadow let Amy pick and they went to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Shadow bought popcorn and a slushee to share and they sat in the back row. As the movie started Shadow didn't waste time putting his arm around Amy, which she didn't mind since she leaned into him. She fed him a some popcorn and he tried to throw one in her mouth. He failed miserably and they laughed quietly. They went back and forth throw popcorn in each other mouths; both missing a few and making a few. Amy whispered to him, "you suck at this." Shadow chuckled responding back, "Look who's talking, I go more popcorn in my hair then my mouth."
Someone in the audience shh's them to which they slid down in their seats laughing. "Ok last try, I can make it." Shadow picked up another popcorn and aimed it. Amy opened her mouth ready and Shadow threw it. The popcorn bounced off Amy's nose and into her cleavage. Since she crop top vest had a huge open hole to show off Amy's girls to the world the popcorn sat perfectly in place.
Shadow grew hot and Amy turned red in the face. They sat there before Shadow decided to make a move. He leaned forward to Amy and whispered. "Relax." She looked him in the eyes and watched him go to her chest. Shadow slowly licked the popcorn off her crest and ate it. Amy felt faint as Shadow licked the butter from the spot. Shadow leaned up and smirked. "Good but needs more butter." Amy and Shadow stared at each what seemed to be hours. Shadow's instincts told him to move forward and he did; capturing Amy's lips in a kiss. The kiss was sweet and started off light. Just like last time. Amy slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and kiss deepen. What was soft and sweet was now turning into hot and tender. Amy bit Shadow's lip as they kissed before they started rolling their tongues together. Shadow sucked on Amy's tongue as she ran her hand in his quills.
Shadow and Amy kissing started to get more wild as Shadow started to growl and pull Amy in his lap. As things were getting hot and sweating, a flashlight was shined in their faces. They quickly pulled away from each other to see the manager standing over them. "I'm sorry to interrupt but the movie has been over for 20 minutes and we need to get ready for the next show. So can you please continue elsewhere; like at home?" Of course he didn't sound to happy seeing two people making out. But Shadow and Amy will admit it was good they were stopped before something else happened. With Amy still sitting in his lap and both covered in popcorn Shadow cleared his throat and found his voice.
"Sorry sir we'll be going. Sorry again."
Amy hopped up and helped Shadow up. They quickly walked pasted the manager and put the theater; faces redder than a coke can embarrassed as hell. When they got out and looked at each other seeing popcorn in their hair they burst into laughter.
"Oh my gosh the look on his face when he looked at us! He was so pissed!" Amy laughed
"No! The look on our faces was probably priceless for him!" Shadow boomed as she shook the remaining fattening food from his hair.
"I'm sorry about that Rose. Believe me I'm just as embarrassed as you are but I promise dinner will be better." He smiled getting on his motorcycle with her climbing on.
"What are you talking about? I'm having a blast! I mean yeah that was pretty embarrassing but it's ok it's funny. So let's go to dinner."
Shadow nodded and zoomed off to the restaurant. What surprised Amy was the restaurant was Italian. Shadow parked and helped Amy off. "I hope this is ok? I know most girls expect to go somewhere more fancy like a french restaurant but I wanted to be different." He rubbed his neck and Amy shook her head.
"It's perfect I like different." They walked inside and saw Sally and Sonic standing arguing with the purple mouse waiter. "Look pal I'm telling you I made reservations yesterday! Should be understood hedgehog; Sonic THE Hedgehog! I want my table!"
The waiter sighed as if Sonic's title was supposed to mean something to him. "And I'm telling you sir, it's not on my list. I'm terribly sorry. Maybe you called the wrong place and made reservations. Next please!"
Shadow and Amy walked up and tapped Sally on the shoulder. "Hey what's going on?" Amy asked.
"Hey Amy, well we were supposed to eat here today as planned but this guy is saying we don't have a table. So Sonic is causing a scene when we could just leave and eat somewhere else but no. Wait why are you here? And with Shadow?" Sally just realized Amy and Shadow were together and holding hands to add. As she eyes them Amy answered. "We're on a date exactly. If it's ok why don't you guys join our table? Shadow?"
Shadow shrugged. "I don't care." He walked up to the waiter arguing with Sonic. "Hello table for Shadow the Hedgehog?" The waiter looked on his list. "Shadow?! What are you doing here?" Shadow ignored him and continued to look at the waiter. "Yes Shadow Hedgehog you're right here. Please come this way."
Shadow held up his hand stopping him. "If it's not too much trouble could my associate and his date join me please?"
The waiter looked at Sonic and nodded at Shadow. Shadow held out his arm to Amy which she gladly took and followed the waiter to their table. Sally pushed Sonic forward who looked speechless at the scene.
"Wait! How come Shadow is on the list but not me? And why is Amy here with Shadow?!" Sonic angrily whispered to Sally. "Will you please calm down?"
The waiter brought them to the table and Shadow pulled out Amy's chair for her sit. "Thank you Shadow.~" Shadow winked at her and sat next to her. Sally smiled at Sonic to do the same thing but he just took his seat and Sally growled as she took her own. The waiter asked for drinks as he passed out the menus. Everyone ordered sweet tea and Sonic was the first one to start up a conversation.
"So what are you two doing here? Together."
Shadow saw this coming and answered with pride and gloat. "We're on a date." He placed his hand on Amy's for good measure. Sonic sees this and stares at Shadow. "Oh are you? Well that's great happy for you. Since when did this happen?"
Sally was getting agitated with Sonic. "That doesn't concern us, they're on a date like us leave them be. Now let's see what to order I'm starving."
"It's ok Sally, we started dating yesterday. I asked him." Amy smiled but Sonic's mouth dropped. Amy looked at her menu as did Shadow. Sonic didn't know what to say. He turned to Sally who gave him a death look that said, "Ruin this date and I will hurt you". Sonic shut up and looked over his menu. Shadow and Amy decided to share a big bowl of spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. Sonic ordered a cheeseburger with blue cheese and Sally got an Italian chicken salad.
Dispirit their date turning into a double date with someone he hated Shadow was having a great time. He was with his beautiful girlfriend and Sonic hasn't spoken the whole time they was there. Though he felt bad for Sally. Every time Sally tried to get his attention he just pout and mumble. As the waiter came to pick up the bill Shadow looked at Sonic. "Want to split the bill with me?"
Sonic glared at Shadow before reaching for his wallet. "Yeah, since you helped us out, it'll be the right thing." Sonic paid for him and Sally as Shadow paid for Amy and himself. Sally sighed at them. "I just can't believe you guys are an item! You are so cute together especially eating the spaghetti together that was so romantic. I wish that could happen to me.." she looks at Sonic and he looks at her. "What? I bought you dinner we had a great time so what's the problem?"
"Ugh nothing Sonic…"
Amy and Shadow looked at each other and nodded. "Well it was great seeing you guys! We should get together again soon Sally with the girls." Amy stood up and hugged Sally and started walking out with Shadow. "Yeah we should! It's not like I'm doing anything else.." she rolled her eyes at Sonic when he made a face at her. Amy and Shadow fast walked out the restaurant and back to his motorcycle.
"Awkward much?" Shadow stated handing Amy her helmet. "I know right? I wonder what's wrong."
"Hey I don't ask therefore not my problem. But if I have to guess maybe Sally isn't getting satisfied enough by the faker."
Amy had an theory there from what was said at the party. "At least you're not like most guys and say she's on her you know what."
"Would you be mad if that was my second guess?" He looked at her from the corner of his eye. Amy rolled her eyes and smiled. "No I guess not."
Before they could drive off Amy's phone went off. It was a text from Blaze.
Blaze: Hey throwing a beach party tomorrow hope you come!
Amy texted back saying she'll be there and smirked at Shadow. "What's that about? Rouge?"
"No Blaze is throwing a party at the beach, are you coming with me?" She gave him the puppy eyes and he smiled and kissed her forehead. "You don't have to make that face to get me to go Rose. I'll go."
"Yay!" She hugged him tightly and they got on his motorcycle and sped off. Shadow drove them to the lake and they walked around holding hands in the grass.
"I've never been this happy before. Thank you Rose."
She looked at him confused. "For what? I should be thanking you for making me happy and whole again."
"Yeah but..thank you for trusting me. With your heart. I know that had to be hard with everything going on and shit. I would know how it feels to be heartbroken..So thank you." He kissed her hand and watched her face turn rosy. He leaned in for a kissed til he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand completely straight up and saw his breath. Amy's eyes widen and pushed Shadow out the way just in time from a thunderbolt. The wind started to pick up and the sky darken. Walking across the lake, freezing it with every step she took, eyes glowing fiercely at Shadow. "I'm not giving her to you that easily. I won't let you have her. Not without a fight. On your feet Ultimate LifeForm cause I'm about to rock your world!" She held up her hand towards Shadow and a flash of white blue shook out.
"RIKO NO!"
