"No Sonic, you can't-"
Lighting in blue and cyan flared up, and Shadow quickly covered his eyes until the lights and sparks died out. He let out an irritated huff of air, and Sonic looked back at him sheepishly, ash snowing down around him in flakes. He ran a hand through his disordered quills, and said, "Uh, didn't you say that I should've-"
"I say that you shouldn't!" Exclaimed Shadow. He sighed again, and started gingerly walking up to Sonic, avoiding several patches of smoking grass. He then gripped the blue hedgehog's wrist, and carefully bended it so it leant more sideways. "Like this," he instructed.
"Oh! Thanks!" Said Sonic a bit awkwardly, and wiggled his fingers. Shadow noted that he smelt like fire, which probably was the surprise of the year, and then he gestured for Sonic to try again, letting go off his wrist while stepping back.
Sonic swallowed, holding his wrist like Shadow told him to. He then set his jaw, and shouted, "Chaos fire!"
Shadow's hands flew up to cover his eyes again, as a wave of heat went through the glade accompanied by a light-show akin to fireworks. The shadows fought over the burnt grass, and something crackled. He blinked in the aftermath, and Sonic stood and coughed in a circle of burnt grass, ash snowing down over his quills and shoulders.
Shadow shook his head.
"Sonic, maybe we should take a break-"
"No!" Sonic exclaimed, cutting Shadow's sentence off. "I have to learn! He was so close this time, Shads, and I can't – can't let him-!"
Can't let the Doctor hurt your friends
"And we won't!" Shadow said loudly. "Don't you think we will fight for you, if you'd ever fail?"
Sonic went quiet. Shadow let out another sigh, walking up to the blue hedgehog. "Just – you're exhausting yourself. You won't get anything done, if you don't take a break."
He stopped in front of Sonic. The blue hedgehog sighed, and brushed away some burnt particles from his arm. And then he looked up again, a grin slowly taking over his muzzle again, radiant and happy.
"Geez – getting worried all of a sudden?"
Shadow blinked. And then he huffed, crossing his arms. "You're an idiot," he then informed him.
"Love you too, faker," replied Sonic, letting out a chuckle.
