Chapter 3: Poppin' the Questions! (And no I'm not referring to marriage! It just wouldn't be fun writing this anymore! And um, that's a little far out for me. :P )

Day was slowly turning into night in the forest. The sky glowed with an unforgettable sunset with no clouds in sight. Both pairs of eyes staring at it gained a slight glow as the sky grew darker. Shadow then turned to Sonic, with his eyes casting the eerier glow.
"You think we should go back now?"

Sonic turned to him. His body did a mid-jump as he saw Shadow's demon eyes in the dark. The shock faded into a small smile. "I guess I can sleep in a bed tonight."

Shadow slowly stretched and looked back at the sky. "Yeah, a couch is starting to look good right now."

"Great, now you're makin' me jealous."

"Whatever." Shadow got up and extended a hand towards Sonic. They clasped hands and slowly walked out of the forest.

The city started to appear before them. By now, the sky was a blackish- purple mist over them. Sonic let go of Shadow's hand and looked at the winding streets before them. "It's a great night to run."

"Whatever you say." Before they knew it, they were running/gliding at top speed towards Sonic's house. They remained side-by-side for a few minutes and then they both began to pick up speed.

Sonic passed Shadow easily and gave him a victory gesture as he began to lose sight of him. A few minutes passed by and Shadow was nowhere in sight. Sonic grew worried and stopped. He slowly looked at his surroundings, getting no help from them.

A tap on his shoulder nearly scared him out of his shoes. Shadow stood there behind him, grinning like an idiot. "Missed me?" he asked.

"No, I was just looking at this beautiful city around me." Sonic lied.

"You're lying."

"What do you know?" Sonic joked.

"Things that I won't tell." He surprisingly sped off, with Sonic close behind him. They were home in no time.

***

"Do I have to?"

"It was your idea! Stop being a baby!"

"I ain't no baby!"

"Prove it."

Knux sighed. This argument had gone on long enough and for once, Rouge was winning. "Alright already!" He picked up the phone and dialed Sonic's number on the new cell phone Tails made him.

"Ten bucks says that they won't answer." Rouge said to Amy.

"You're on!" Amy agreed.

"Oh, so now y'all bettin'!" Tails commented.

Knux hung up the phone and gave an annoyed sigh. "What can they possibly be doing down there?"

"I can think of a few things." Rouge replied as she got her money from Amy.

"That's okay, I'll pass on that one." Knux interrupted. He gave her an annoyed look. "Hey, if you're so supportive, then why aren't you inviting them?"

"Because I wouldn't fit in there."

"What, and I would?"

"Look, we voted already! You're going whether you like it or not! Call 'em again!"

"If they're not home, then they're not home!"

Rouge cocked her head. "Suit yourself."

Knux sighed and pressed redial.

***

Shadow glided in the house just in time to hear the phone ring. He flipped on the light and laid back on the couch as he picked up the phone. "Shadow here."

"Hey Shads!" Knux greeted fakely.

"What's up Knux?"

"Ah, nothin' much. Just chillin' at Tails' with the rest of the gang. What's up with you and Sonic?"

"Nothing really."

"Anything I should know about?" Shadow started to feel weird as soon as Knux started talking. He shook it off and quickly answered, "No, just a few races, stayin' out, that kind of thing."

"Cool."

"Just ask the question!" Shadow heard from the other end of the phone.

"Alright, damn!" Knux hissed back.

"So, you've got somethin' to ask me?" Shadow asked.

"Sorry, some people are a little anxious." Knux said while glaring at Rouge, Amy, and Tails. "Anywayz, what are you and Sonic doin' next Friday?"

"Hold on." Shadow replied as Sonic came in the door. He covered the receiver. "Hey Sonic, what are we doin' Friday night?" he yelled.

"Don't know, don't care!" he replied with a smirk.

Shadow lifted his hand from the receiver. "We have nothing planned at the moment. Why, what's up?"

Knux hesitated, but finally spoke after a few seconds. "You know the new nightclub that just opened in Station Square?"

"Haven't heard a thing about it." Shadow replied.

"I uh, wanted to check it out, and I was wonderin' if y'all could come with me." Knux finally said.

"Sure, why not?" Shadow agreed.

"Great! It'll be a guy's night out!"

"Sounds like fun."

"Yeah. How 'bout we meet at Tails' crib at 7:00?"

Some random screams could be heard from Tails over the phone. Shadow had to lift the phone from his ear before replying, "Can't wait."

***

"A'ight, I'll see ya then." Knux said before hanging up. He put the phone down and gave his spectators death glares. "Ya happy now?"

"Ecstatic." Rouge replied.

"Finally!" Amy replied.

"I guess with Sonic here, it won't be so bad." Tails said, looking forward to seeing his best buddy.

"Well, I'm glad you're happy, cause I'm dreading every second closer to Friday." Knux stated.

"Let's see: 71 hours, 22 minutes, and 53 seconds til the dreaded day." Rouge said, checking her watch. "52, 51, 50--"

"Do ya hafta remind me? Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna hafta buy clothes now."

"Hmm," Rouge thought, "I think the guys would like a worthy stripper there."

"I am never doing that again." Knux mumbled as he walked out.

"What did he mean by that?" Amy asked Rouge.

"Ah, nothin'." she replied.

"Sure." Tails said with a smirk.

"What?" Rouge asked, annoyed.

"Just a thought that shouldn't be stated out loud." he replied.

"Good, cause I don't wanna hear it!" Rouge yelled.

Amy screamed bloody murder suddenly. Rouge and Tails were so stunned that they lost all control in their legs and fell to the garage floor.

"What the hell?" Rouge asked.

"I got a date tonight! she said before running off. Her red boots echoed as she ran down the street.

Tails kept banging his head on the floor as Rouge put a hand on her chin. "Ah, young love.." she said dreamily as she flashbacked to a different world.

Sonic hopped on the couch as Shadow pressed off on the cordless and put it down. "So where are we goin' Friday night?"

"Betcha you'll never guess."

"Try me." Sonic said with a competitive gleam in his green eyes.

"Alright. Three guesses, no hints, and the first guess doesn't count."

"Wow, don't we play fair?" Sonic asked sarcastically.

"This is as fair as it'll get."

"Since the first guess doesn't count, I'll guess a double date with Rouge and Amy."

Shadow snickered. "Do continue."

"Alright, let's see." Sonic thought. "Uh, a party?"

"Nope."

"Ah! I have no damn clue!"

"Good for you! Anywayz, we're goin' to the new nightclub that just opened in three days."

"There's a nightclub around here?"

"Exactly what I thought."

"Um, aren't you supposed to know how to dance at one of those things?"

"It'd probly make you look like less of an idiot if you do."

"Guess I'll be lookin' like an idiot then."

Shadow started laughing. "Wait, you don't know how to dance?" he asked, smiling.

"You shouldn't talk. I'm sure you never did any dancing in your lifetime!"

Shadow stopped laughing and gave a weak smile. "Guess ya caught me."

"So what are we gonna do?" Sonic asked.

"We could always cancel." Shadow suggested.

"No! I need something else to do." Sonic complained.

"Well, I guess we could teach each other how to dance." Shadow suggested again.

"This is gonna be interesting. When do we start?"

"Friday night."

"What?!" Sonic shouted, surprised by his answer.

"Trust me, we'll do great under pressure." Shadow assured him.

"Maybe you're more of an idiot than I am."

"Look if it doesn't work out, then we can just hang around the bar or somethin', kay?"

"I'm up for it."

"Good." Shadow said before Sonic pinned him to the couch.

"Now, what were you saying about working under pressure?"

"Easier said than done." Shadow said as he started feeling hot from Sonic's dominance over him.

"Oh yeah? I beg to differ." Sonic said in a smooth tone. He slipped his hands under Shadow and dug his fingers gently into his back.

Shadow started thinking back to the day Sonic did this against his own will. This time, there was no hesitation and no holding back also. His muscles began to relax as Sonic's hands slipped lower. "Ah." was all he could say under Sonic's control.

Sonic gave a demonic grin as he continued, constantly getting lower. His mind concentrated on who was under him instead of how far down he was going.

Shadow could feel Sonic's hands grabbing his ass accidentally. "What the hell?" he asked.

Sonic snapped out of his trance. "Huh?" he asked before he realized he had a handful of Shadow's ass in his hands. "Whoa, baby!" he screamed. He lost his balance on the couch and fell to the floor.

Shadow got up and laughed at Sonic. "And what were you drinking today?"

"None of your business! Anywayz, I need to get to bed."

"What, no night watch?"

"Nah. We need as much energy as possible for Friday. I suggest you do the same." Sonic said as he made his way to the stairs.

Shadow still felt warm from Sonic's encounter. "Hey!" he called as Sonic was halfway up the stairs.

"What now?" Sonic asked.

"Uh, it's kinda cold down here. Can I sleep with you?"

"You're not just sayin' that so I can keep ya warm, are ya?"

"Does it matter?" Shadow asked slyly.

"Not really, come on up."

Shadow followed Sonic to his decent-sized bedroom. The moon cast a slight glow on the bed as it sat in the middle of the room. Sonic rolled into bed as Shadow did the same.

Shadow smiled warmly at him. "Thanks."

"It's no problem. I love helping the unfortunate." Sonic joked.

"Ha, ha." Shadow laughed as he gently pushed Sonic away. He felt Sonic's arms around him a short time later. "Ya just can't get enough of me, can ya?" he asked.

"Nope." Sonic replied smiling.

"Figures." As Shadow fell asleep, he couldn't help but think of the possibilities in this lovely piece of furniture. He grew warmer from the thoughts and Sonic's breathing on his neck. A smile played across his lips as his consciousness faded from him.
