I wrote this in March. It's... not so good... BUT I have some important notes further down.

At 11 in the morning...


"Wanna race?" Sonic asked, following his rival as he walked through the now orange coloured park.

"No." Shadow just replied, clearly annoyed by his presence.

"Wanna hang out?" Sonic then asked, walking up beside him.

"No." Shadow stated and quickened his pace.

"... Want to be left alone?" Sonic at last suggested, and stopped walking.

"... Yes." Shadow muttered and continued with his walking, determined to get away from his rival.

"... Fine..." Sonic muttered, and then he happily shouted: "And by the way, See ya later!" Then he ran away, smiling for himself...


At two...


"Hi again, Shads! Been doing anything interesting?" Sonic cheerfully asked, sitting down on the cafe' chair beside Shadow's.

"Don't call me that!" Shadow just growled, ignoring the feeling he had.

"Aww, is little Shads angry?" Sonic teased, entertained by Shadow's expressions and entertained by Shadow himself.

"... Say one more word and you will lose a few limbs..." Shadow threateningly growled and got up from his chair, forgetting about any feelings he may had before...

"..." Sonic was silent, but smirked in such a way that Shadow began to feel uncomfortable...

"...Good..." Shadow hesitantly said, and quickly started walking away.

"... Well, see ya later!" Sonic shouted after him, and then dissappearing before Shadow had time to carry out his threat...


At half past four...


"Hi Shads! Long time no see!" Sonic happily said and waved at the black hedgehog who turned around when he heard his nickname.

"Why the hell do you keep coming back!?" He angrily asked, closing the book he had been reading in and putting it on the bench beside him, fixating the blue hedgehog with an angry stare at the same time.

"You look like you need company. And you're interesting to hang out with." Sonic explained and slumped down on the bench beside him.

"Mind telling me what you were reading?" He then said, leaning forward to look at the cover. Shadow hid it before he could look, however.

"That's none of your business." Shadow stated and stuffed the book into his quills.

"Hmph, sourpuss." Sonic just said and leaned back in the bench. Shadow got up from the bench and started walking away.

"Well... See-!" Sonic began, but got interrupted by Shadow.

"You later! I know, I know!" Shadow angrily shouted and walked away, leaving a smirking blue hedgehog behind.

He's so adorable when he's angry... Okay, more like when he's just medium angry and not when he's so angry that he tries to kill you...
Still, he's adorable...


At half past seven...


"Hi Shadowww..." Sonic's playful voice interrupted Shadow from his thoughts, and he turned around to see Sonic walking towards him.

"..." Shadow said nothing, not even bothering to yell at him. He just continued to walk down the sidewalk, with Sonic following him.

"Feeling grumpy tonight? Well, maybe the weather has gotten to you. These cold autumn winds surely aren't comforting..." Sonic continued to talk, walking up to the black hedgehog at the same time.

"I could always comfort you if you need it..." Sonic then added, putting an arm around Shadow shoulders. The black hedgehog flinched at the touch and sweeped away Sonic's arm, looking at him with anger burning inside his scarlet eyes.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He angrily hissed and quickly dissappeared into the nearest shop.

Left behind was Sonic, who felt sad at the black hedgehog's comment. He just sighed and wrapped his red scarf tighter around himself, and then he continued to walk, ignoring the shop where Shadow had disappeared...


Later...


The sky was black now, dotted with stars which seemed to fall down, as snow slowly buried Station Square. Sonic walked through the park again, hoping to find a certain black hedgehog so that he could wish him good night. And maybe apologize too...

As he hoped he found Shadow sitting at a bench, looking at the snowflakes which slowly kept falling. A lamp-post illuminated his figure along with the snow, making both his eyes and the cold flakes glow.

It looks so beautiful...

Sonic thought. Then Shadow looked up and Sonic snapped out of his trance.

"Oh, hi. Thought that I maybe should apologize for earlier. I do-" Sonic began.

"You don't need to. I'm the one... the one who should apologize. Sorry..." Shadow silently said, but still effectively interrupting his rival. Shadow seemed to regret that he said anything, as he looked down and tried to hid his face.

"... Oooh..." Was all Sonic managed to say after an awkward silence, but then he sat down on the bench next to Shadow.

"... Well can I... can I touch you now?" Sonic then said after some hesitation, really wanting to do so but afraid of upsetting him again.

"... Do as you want..." Shadow just muttered and shrugged. Sonic nodded and put his arm around his shoulders again, just like he did before. They now looked like two buddies, sitting like that, but in reality they was quite the opposite. Still it was a nice change...

...

After a while Sonic got up again, shivering a little from the cold as he had got used to Shadow's body-heat. Shadow looked up with a questioning glance.

"It's getting late so I thought that I should get going. Goodnight!" Sonic said and turned around to leave, waving at the black hedgehog.

"... Goodnight... Sonic. I guess I should go back to club Rouge now-" Shadow said, getting up from the bench to leave.

"Wait!" Sonic suddenly said, grabbing Shadow's wrist and hindering him from leaving.

"What now?" Shadow tiredly asked, raising one eye ridge. He certainly had seen enough of the blue hedgehog today, and this... feeling... was only getting worse...

"Well I... I thought that you might want to come to my place for some hot chocolate, or what do say?" Sonic suggested with a pleading expression. The way the light shone onto his emerald- green eyes... made them shimmer...

Shadow shook his head, trying to get rid of those thoughts...

"... Okay." He said.

"Ow come on! Why do you always- Wait... you didn't refuse?" Sonic began, but then went off of track sounding confused.

"No, I didn't, but I'm considering to change my mind." Shadow just replied.

"... Cool!" Sonic exclaimed with a big smile.

Maybe he's actually softening up? Either way, I'm glad he didn't refuse!


Later...


"Well come inside then!" Sonic happily said and gestured towards the living room. Shadow cautiously walked in, like he expected alarms to set off at any second.

Sonic closed the door behind him and put his scarf on a table, and then he walked into the kitchen.

Shadow sat down on the sky-blue couch, taking in his surroundings. It was a cosy room with a fireplace, the couch he sat on, a table and a bookshelf, and a TV. The walls were painted orange, but you could hardly see any of it because there were so many photographies decorating the walls. Most of them showed Sonic and Tails on various occacions, at a campfire, at the beach, in a park, playing video games...

Shadow got up from the chair and walked closer. There was also a lot of pictures of Sonic's other friends, and...

... A lot of pictures of him?

No, he couldn't be seeing right. It was no way that-

... But then again, how many other black hedgehogs with red streaks were there on Mobius? He could actually be the only one...

But why on Mobius would Sonic have so many pictures of him?! How did he even get all those pictures? Heck, there was even more pictures of him than of all Sonic's other friends together.

"

Looking at my pictures, I see?" A voice suddenly said from behind. Shadow spun around, and saw that Sonic had returned with two mugs.

"... Yeah..." Shadow said and shrugged. Sonic walked up to him and handed him a mug. Then Sonic walked back to the coach and sat down, leaning back into the comfortable fabric. Shadow silently joined him, but sitting more on the edge of the coach, muscles tensed.

They silently drank their beverage, with Sonic finishing first. He put the empty mug on the table and wiped the chocolate from his lips by using the back of his hand. He then turned to Shadow, who also put down his mug on the table.

He also had chocolate around his mouth, but he didn't seem to notice...

Why does he stare at me like that? Shadow thought and looked at Sonic, who had a ... slightly amused, but still somewhat creepy expression?

"... Something wrong?" Shadow asked. Sonic crawled closer on the couch, and Shadow had to fight the insticnt to back away.

"Well... You've got chocolate around your mouth, but I can help you with that..." Sonic said smirking. Shadow didn't even have time to think before something moist touched his cheek...

...

Sonic was licking him. Finally his thoughts caught up with the black hedgehog, but his body just felt so... limp. Like he couldn't move even if he wanted to... Not that he wanted to...

It just felt, somehow, so oddly good.

The warm feeling from earlier had also returned, but now it only made him want to curl up in Sonic's lap. I hate feelings...

Sonic's tongue traveled over Shadow's lips, licking away all chocolate that was left. Sonic put a hand around his rival's waist, pulling him closer. Surprisingly Shadow didn't fight back, in fact he felt as limp as a doll...

Sonic licked away the last of the chocolate, and then he leaned back again panting slightly.

"... There you go." Sonic the said and smirked, letting go of the other hedgehog. Shadow shook his head and backed away into the corner of the couch.

"... What? Why?!" He suddenly asked, with a slight hint of anger in his voice.

"I just helped you to get rid of the chocolate. Besides, I know you liked it, or else you wouldn't have let me do it." Sonic just said, smirking smugly.

Shadow just sighed and turned away, so Sonic crawled up to him, stroking him over the quills.

"... So this is why you followed me all day..." He just muttered.

"Maybe... Maybe not." Sonic said and stopped briefly in his movements. But then he started to caress the black hedgehog again, this time behind his ear.

Sonic's touch made him feel so... warm and happy. He started to caress his ears, and Shadow tried not to purr, but, on the other hand, what damage would it do? It was already to late to claim that he disliked the blue hedgehog's touch, so why was he hiding how much he liked it?

Sonic caressed the ears of his rival, being content with just staying near him. Then Shadow suddenly purred, and Sonic smiled slightly at this. He continued to caress his ears, and was rewarded with more purring...


Later...


Shadow had slid down, but then he decided to just lay in the lap of his rival, content with being caressed. It was late night now, and he was feeling sleepy because of Sonic's caressing. But he didn't ever think that he would fall asleep, since it had ben such an eventful day and feelings and emotions still rushed through his veins like fire. But, he was really tired, and really sleepy...

Sonic continued to caress Shadow until his eyes shut, being content with just having Shadow in his lap. When Shadow then fell alseep, Sonic got a blanket and lay down on the coach next to him, wrapping they both in the blanket.

Sonic was feeling very happy, and very victorious by the day's events, and the warm feeling of Shadow so close to him, snuggling up against him, was very calming.

Sonic planted a kiss on Shadow's forehead, and then he let his tiredness take over. It didn't take long before also the blue blur was asleep, with the ultimate lifeform by his side.
