Oh, Me!

Relax, I ain't going back to that now

All I'm tryna say is get back, click-clack BLAOW

Cause I ain't playin' around

There's a game called circle and I don't know how

I'm way too up to back down

~Eminem-Not Afraid

Yeah…never heard that song before. Good lyrics, though! Wouldn't you agree? ;)

Shadow got up long before Sonic. The blue hedgie was still shivering beside him, curled up under the covers like a baby. Shadow kissed his love's cheek, letting him sleep.

He would wake up to the surprise of his life.

Shadow put on his shoes and socks. He ran a comb through his fur, brushed his teeth, and did his toilet. While he was standing at the sink, gargling with saltwater (it was a habit of his—for luck, or otherwise,) he was jumped by none other than his blue lover, who had hooked his legs around his hips and grabbed his neck.

Shadow sputtered, swallowing and spewing saltwater at the same time, before he caught himself from the surprise. "Dammit, Sonic!" He shouted, but playfully. "You scared the shit outta me!"

"Ha ha!" Sonic laughed. "Nice try, but you already went to the bathroom!"

"Eww, gross," Shadow scolded.

"Thanks, I know." Sonic dug his chin into Shadow's shoulder, the dark hedgehog watching in the mirror. Sonic appeared to be well-rested. And if he wasn't, he hid it well. "So…you had a plan to make me breakfast, right?"

Shadow nodded. "Yes. I was going to make you pancakes."

"Mmmm," Sonic licked his lips, accidentally touching Shadow's neck with his tongue, making Shadow shiver in delight. "Sounds good. My tummy rumbling. But hey, you know what's even better?" He grinned.

"What?" Shadow asked, smiling.

"Ice cream!" Sonic giggled.

Shadow frowned. "Ice cream? That's not a breakfast food."

"So?" Sonic finally got down off of Shadow's back and pushed him aside to do his own teeth brushing. "I can have whatevah I want…right?"

Shadow huffed. "Yes. Well, I guess I'll go down and make it. What do you want on it?"

Sonic spit and thought a minute. "Uhhh…whatever kind of ice cream we have, I don't care. And oreos…lots and lots of oreos…and caramel sauce and hot fudge sauce and chocolate chips and mini marshmallows and cherries—oh, oh! And candy corn!"

"That all?" Shadow asked, making mental notes.

"Baked apples," Sonic added.

"Got it." Shadow answered, grinning. "It'll be ready for you in no time flat!"

"Thanks, Shadow," Sonic answered in gratitude.

"You're welcome," And Shadow dared to lean forward and plant a kiss on Sonic's cheek. To the dark one's surprise, Sonic giggled, flushing in response.

Shadow, filled with anticipation, went downstairs to make the sundae Sonic had requested.

Jubilee

We made days merry

Let off steam

And ourselves go

When Sonic came downstairs, Shadow was just finishing up the preparations. "Sorry," he apologized, turning around to give Sonic the sundae, piled high with everything he desired, "I didn't have time to bake the apples."

Sonic laughed, swinging into a seat at the kitchen table. "No, I noticed. You weren't too busy, however, to dump sugar into it."

"Come again?" Shadow began to sweat, nervous at being found out. He had put a small dosage of pure sugar into the sundae, but had hoped it would blend with the cookie dough ice cream.

Sonic pointed proudly. "It's a different texture than ice cream, Shads. Hide it better next time." And with that, he dove his spoon into the ice cream and produced a huge bite.

Shadow heaved a sigh of relief. "You like it."

Sonic nodded, and Shadow noted how quickly the sundae had disappeared. It was almost gone! "Sure I like it!" But he shivered a little, even then. "Besides, I'm too hungry to wait for something else!" He polished off the remainder of his ice cream feast and laid back. "Ahhh…It's cold as anything, but…so good. You have no idea."

Shadow smirked, seeing his love finally content, if but for the moment. "I'm glad you like it. Would you care for anything else?"

"A hot drink, perhaps," Sonic responded quickly, cautiously. "I'm feeling…weird…now, and I fear food."

"Of course." Shadow faithfully whipped up some hot chocolate for his love, trying not to think about Sonic being done eating for the day. Of course, his fetish wanted to see Sonic eat more, go farther. But Shadow had logic left in him, and sense, too. And this part of him reminded him that Sonic was still ill, and needed rest above all else.

There was silence in the kitchen. Sonic slowly rose and draped himself over Shadow. The dark hedgehog, surprised and elated at the attention, hugged back. Sonic wasn't even close to being warm, from a meal or otherwise, and he was shivering—probably due to his sweet treat.

"What do you have in mind for your next meal?" Shadow asked at length as Sonic swiped the hot chocolate before Shadow could add anything to it.

Sonic held the white mug in both hands and took a sip, shivering from the heat of it. "Mmmm…candy. Anything sweet. And soft." He licked his lips. "Pudding, ice cream…"

"Cake?" Shadow asked.

Sonic bit his lip. "Not yet. Pudding and ice cream I can handle. Soft candies, like candy corn, I can handle. Oreos, even, I can handle. Dunno if I can push it much farther yet." He frowned. Shadow kissed him.

"S'okay. Take your time."

"Sorry to disappoint!" Sonic smiled apologetically, shrugging. Shadow guffawed.

"You're not sorry."

"You're right." Sonic conceded, laughing also. "I'm about as repentant as an engorged snake!"

Shadow laughed on, not quite sure what Sonic meant.

However, Sonic would soon look like an engorged snake.

All in good time. All in good time.

This river of unmeasurable deepness

that I should cross

If I were

to use

someone's help

to pull me up

and laugh for me

without caring about my wet body

Let it always

be you.

It's only you, isn't it?
