QBH: So, I just had to speak out about common pairing triangle
Sonic: Oh please! Then explain your point of view?
QBH: As far is canon goes, it is open for interpretation. Since Sega would never explore this in their games and the other forms of media also juggles this suggestion but I will take game canon since this is still based on the games most of the time.
Amy: Are you suggesting there isn't something between me and Sonic?
QBH: I can place it close but no though since the cast doesn't have a fleshed out info and the way their interactions between each other also varies.
Shadow: You made your point clear. Though do you see this pairing legitimate?
QBH: Absolutely though explaining that would be for next time. Anyways, I present you guys the chapter! Enjoy!
Chapter 10: Romantic Episode
Amy felt a little bad for lashing out and now heads back inside to try and apologize; only seeing Shadow busy in the kitchen trying to cook a decent meal. Amy realizing Shadow's intentions was slightly relieved though she is still worried that there is still a dark motive for his acts. She tries to put the worries aside and calmly went back to the first aid book again.
Less than 1 hour later, Shadow is finished making the meal and set the table. As he did put some elegance into the dining, he had doubts something unusual of him.
"Would Amy actually appreciate something like this? Granted she isn't that naïve and gullible. It may take much more that this but I am now curious as to make her happy. That's something I never considered before." Shadow
Shadow of course never cared for anyone reasonably unless it does come across his goals. This particular had at first a clear goal but at the start he overestimated how much everything could not go the way he planned it. Shadow by at this point actually relented that it is no use trying to be the chess master in this ploy and in the end, he nearly forgotten that there is no reward after the brilliant goal he set out. He now just shrugged saying he is now brooding again and wants to put that behind.
Amy now really has put her defense on hold since she is trying to be prepared for the agreed training with Shadow tomorrow. It didn't take long for the aroma of the food to call her into the dining room. As Shadow put the finishing touches in the dining table, Amy finally enter the room.
"I … never expected such class. This seems really pleasant of you to make Shadow. Since when did you have time to be this formal?" Amy
"Maria actually taught me a bit about formalities. I did have the time to learn more about it after all the events were settled peacefully." Shadow admits
"Sorry to hear that. So you learn also to cook a magnificent dinner by any chance?" Amy
"Yes, it does beat the usual grind what G.U.N. provides. So this is for what I have done earlier. At least this is a start for my actions." Shadow
"Well, sure you are forgiven but this seems a bit too much." Amy as she took a seat at the simple dining table
"I do owe you for the stay too, right? Besides this is a rare thing for me to do." Shadow as he also took the opposite seat
"But when do you act so formal when most of the time your blunt as a brick. Does Rouge or Omega see you behave this way?" Amy
The comment did sting Shadow and is trying not to get upset.
"Surprisingly, no though I couldn't say the same for you when things don't go your way." Shadow retorts
The same sting is felt to Amy too.
"Now let us not get into a grudge much. We are here to dine on your cooked food." Amy
"Yes. I hope you like what I made." Shadow
The two finally became silent as they now sample their dinner. It didn't take long for Amy's face to show some amazement. It was actually made well enough to compare a good restaurant. Shadow actually sense this and give out a confident smirk.
"This seems odd for you to make. If you didn't have a job as a special agent then you would make a fine chef." Amy
"I never sense this talent would be of good use since I was created as a …" Shadow
"'Ultimate Life form' I get the memo. Hearing that always make me feel you have become arrogant and yet I am jealous of your skills. I could never become anywhere near that level anyway." Amy
"I don't know how to respond to both at the same time. Granted it seems we don't have yet to see eye to eye." Shadow
"I do agree but let us try not to insult or force each other into immediate anger." Amy
"I for once also agree." Shadow
While there small and meaningful conversation while having dinner is going on, at Tails' workshop in the Mystic Ruins after Knuckles narrating the events that happened earlier Tails tries to make sense out of all of it while a seemingly clueless Cream and Cheese watch from the communicator.
"So why did you confront Rouge about her lipstick?" Tails
"That's not the point! Look, Rouge finally admits that she hasn't stopped liking me since I rescued her from that time near the Ark." Knuckles
"So? We already knew that! Just how dense are you?" Tails
Cream and Cheese snickered a bit from the monitor.
"Look … Rouge will be stopping by tonight to prove to me that she 'likes' me genuinely. I know this is out of your league but you always been our resident genius so help me." Knuckles
Tails immediately told Cream that he will chat later regarding the party; Cream agreed to his request since she understood that this is adult talk and promptly signed off and decides to also go over the party plans by herself.
"Knuckles, I maybe 12, so I don't even know what does Rouge would do but given her personality she would … even you would get the hint right?" Tails
"That's a possibility but could you at least give me tips on just for tonight? I mean she would be at my place later this evening." Knuckles
"I am sorry but you are on your own and don't you then get going back home before she arrives." Tails
"Well it was worth a try; anyway I'll inform you what will happen later. I bet you Sonic would be surprised." Knuckles a bit smug
"Given him, yeah I can't wait to see his reaction too." Tails grinning
Knuckles at least cheer Tails up before leaving and everything was made back to normal as the former makes haste towards his home while the latter tries to contact Cream again.
Back to the park, Sonic and Blaze as the two were still in a weird state as the two were still locked in an embrace.
"You don't want to let go so we can have dinner?" Sonic
"Maybe just one more kiss and treat me out then?" Blaze
"Of course." Sonic
The two finally gave one more lasting kiss before setting out to a local restaurant walking hand in hand.
Meanwhile at Amy's apartment, Amy and Shadow were actually quiet eating dinner. It seemed that way until they both decided to clean up the dinner table.
"Here I'll help." Shadow
"No, I will handle this by myself. It is my turn to be thankful for your exquisite meal. So you can clean away the leftovers if you like." Amy
Shadow gave a typical reaction and actually did what Amy promptly told then again it was the right thing not to leave food out in the open.
After the two has finished their chores, Amy has tries to apologize and give Shadow a proper answer to his earlier advances. Now they were at the living room.
"Shadow I am sorry for being resistant to your moves but you keep surprising me with them. I can't be totally wrong being defensive like you would." Amy
"Isn't that the same way he would respond when you were doing it to Sonic?" Shadow
"I never realized that when I was younger so I am open to getting close to you. I guess I am not used to this mutual interaction." Amy
"Then … I am not holding back now." Shadow
Shadow then approached Amy and gives a tender hug.
"Someone like you deserve better than what Sonic has ever done." Shadow
"Yes but I can't say the same for you. I … am glad you are likeable but this isn't forced, I hope." Amy
"I am grateful that you are so warm to me. I now want to be close to you like a friend should." Shadow
"Well … it can be done. We can be friends if you like but aren't you against that?" Amy
"I used to be too but …" Shadow
Shadow's face leaned closer and closer while putting his hands to Amy's face. Amy is caught by the sensation and didn't budge, as if that attraction to him has surfaced. It didn't take long for Shadow to relax on and rub his face softly against hers. Amy really could hear her heart beat so loudly. This feeling is something she couldn't have dreamed of and felt she is actually happy.
Shadow decided to stop but Amy really didn't want this moment to actually end put her hand in his chin and said:
"If you can't just hide then I will." Amy
Shadow is surprised as Amy aimed for Shadow's lips; Amy finally admitted that it felt good to actually get what she longed for. Even if it wasn't Sonic, she has someone now who does reciprocate her feelings. Shadow felt the genuine warmth in Amy. It felt odd for him to admit but he couldn't deny that he does have a heart for Amy. It was a quick kiss though after that Amy now tries to retreat on her actions.
"I … don't know what came over me." Amy
"But you did that without hesitation. I never expected it to be this quick." Shadow
"That's because I can't deny how alluring you have become. Shadow, I am sure this won't last long." Amy
"We will see, Miss Rose." Shadow
Amy somehow didn't actually let go still content with him actually embracing her.
Knuckles back at his home in Angel Island, after having a calm dinner now has to expect what Rouge will pull on him but judging from what they did earlier in the day, he already expects more of removing their tension against each other.
Knuckles, being a hotheaded individual, isn't exactly calm about this and the nervousness made him worried that Rouge will just pull something up again. Thinking he may have forgotten to check on the Master Emerald one more time, proceeds to almost head out when a knock finally came to the door.
"I am sorry to keep you waiting, Knuckles. I know you would get mad at me." Rouge
"Well at least you didn't back out on your act." Knuckles
"I can make it up to you from now on." Rouge
Rouge then quickly as she came in, give Knuckles a delicious alluring kiss. Knuckles expected this but felt this one a bit more sincere and gladly accept it.
"I am surprised you are not resisting to me. What are you hiding from me?" Rouge
"I got nothing to hide since I don't keep secrets. I used to be gullible and dense but so many interactions among friends have changed me a lot." Knuckles
"And I am the biggest contributor to your change? You still haven't matured from my point of view." Rouge
"Then … I would have asked that your jewels seemed to have grown bigger last time." Knuckles
"I never thought you would notice them. Still I think that isn't enough." Rouge
"If you insist then." Knuckles
Knuckles then quickly swept Rouge by her feet and is now carrying her. Rouge is continued to be surprised and embarrassed. Knuckles already didn't beat around the bush and proceeded to head into his bedroom. Rouge didn't expect it to be this quick and as Knuckles lay her down in his bed, she still tries to manipulate him to stop.
"Now, now … let us try not to be hasty. I didn't expect this when I came over." Rouge
"Don't trick me anymore. I can admit it to you much like you earlier did." Knuckles
Rouge maybe the cunning thief/agent but this is the first time, her tactics is not working against her longtime rival. Knuckles sighed and seeing this is the first time she is vulnerable proceeds to make this worth every moment. Knuckles then proceeded to touch Rouge's more sensitive areas making her blush hard, Knuckles then aimed to strip Rouge's clothes. As soon as she saw his intentions, she understood he isn't the same the first time she met him.
"You certainly aren't dense anymore. Come now a girl like me shouldn't wait around any longer." Rouge
Rouge then let Knuckles do more of his arousal all the while adding a few kissing rounds in between. After that, Rouge completely vulnerable submitted to sexual intercourse finally to the person she has long been close to.
