CHAPTER 12

A MOMENT

When Shadow hung up the phone, he looked over to Jake and noticed him clawing his nails into the table. He rose an eyebrow at his behavior, "Jake?"

The blue hedgehog looked down at his fingers gripping the table and clenched his teeth in anger.

Shadow really began to worry over his sudden change of behavior. "...Is something wrong?"

The hedgehog said nothing, stood from the table, and began to walk away.

"Jake?" He called as he began to follow him. "What's wrong?" He began to reach out to him, but before he could he saw him turn to him with a cold glare.

"You! You lied to me! You're...you're just like Saigo!" He shouted in anger as his fists shook.

"What?" He began to wonder what he had done to make him remind him of Saigo. "What are you talking about? I never even knew what Saigo was like. I mean all I knew was that he was some horny guy who always loved to fuck anything that moved."

"Shut up!" He shouted. "I thought you weren't like that, but you're hiding shit from me just as Saigo always did!"

Shadow struggled to get an any answers out of him. "Hiding what?"

"You said that you didn't have a lover right? Then who was that on the phone?"

"My girlfriend", he replied simply.

Jake's ears twitched. He couldn't believe it. He had thought that all this time that Shadow was completely gay, but he had a girlfriend. He began to wonder what he really was. "What? A...girlfriend? You're not...gay?"

The ebony hedgehog shook his head slowly, "No. I'm bi."

"So you're flirting with other guys when you already have a girlfriend?" He assumed his girlfriend already knew about him being bi, but he still found it disgusting to see him flirting with others when he already had a lover.

"Yeah pretty much", he spoke calmly.

Just hearing his answer made him think about him being like Saigo more and more. "You...you're so sick!" Before he could storm off, he felt Shadow grab his wrist and made him turn to him.

"Jake, don't..."

He wanted to break out of his grip, but something prevented him from doing so.

"I...I don't want you to leave me too."

'Leave him?' He had thought in his mind blankly.

"I really do like you. Believe me. I'm having a great time with you..."

Jake's face turned red when he felt Shadow's lips brush against his hand gently.

"Please stay with me", the ebony hedgehog begged.

Jake didn't know what to do, but he couldn't hide his own feelings from himself any longer. 'Oh, Shadow!' He thought in happiness. "I want to be with you too. I...I don't care if you have a girlfriend. I still like you just as much as you like me." He was then silenced when he was pulled into a passionate kiss by the black hedgehog. While they kissed, he had thought that they were going way too fast with their relationship. But having the feel of Shadow's lips on his made him just not care. He placed his hands on Shadow's waist and held him close to him as his tongue slipped inside of his mouth.

As they lip locked, everyone that was crowded on the streets stopped in their tracks and stared at them in shock.

"Look, mommy!" A little girl had shouted while she pointed at the two hedgehogs kissing. "There are two boys kissing!" The girl's eyes were then covered by her mother's hands.

The woman glared at the two hedgehogs as they broke apart from each other.

The black hedgehog licked the blue hedgehog's lips gently and smiled until he heard a woman's voice.

"Have you no shame!"

The two hedgehogs turned and only gave the woman a blank look.

The woman then walked away while dragging her daughter behind her.

They both smiled at each other when they noticed everyone was still staring at them.

'Everyone was staring like we were freaks. So what?' Shadow thought as he held Jake's hand. "I'll walk you home."

With a smile still on his face, Jake kissed his shoulder before he leaned on it. "I would like that."
