1Author's note:...I don't think I'm supposed to do this, but it'll be here anyway, I'm looking forward to hear all your reviews and I really hope you enjoy this. I like the way Shadow is portrayed around Sonic, and I hope I get no flames on that.

Chapter 2: Cleaning and Dancing

Shadow slid out of the bathroom with a bandana wrapped around his head and toilet brush in his hand. Yellow cleaning gloves in were in place of his white ones and an apron hung loosely over his shoulders.

He grinned as "Eye of the Tiger" blasted through the house and sung along on his toilet brush. As he hit the chorus, the doorbell rang and he blinked. He quickly shut the music off and set his toilet brush down while racing to the door.

"Hello," he said grumpily as he answered the door. He didn't want this to take too long because he was having a strong itch to clean and dance.

"Hiya Shadow! Is Sonic here?" Amy Rose stood before him dressed as she normally was with a pout on her face, her voice making Shadow quite irked as he ground his teeth.

"He left earlier, can I give him a message?" Shadow tried to be polite about it, but was having a hard time keeping a smile on his face. He just did not like Amy.

Ever since Sonic started living with Shadow, all Amy had done was come over and try to steal his lover. Sonic tried to avoid her, but it is hard to hide when someone's trying really hard to find you.

"Oh..well, just tell him Amy stopped by." Amy smiled and walked back down the walk.

"O...kay." Shadow closed the door and walked back to the bathroom to get his tiolet brush. He moon walked to the stereo and pressed play and his song filled the house again. He then danced his way to the toilet bowl while singing then began his cleaning escapade.

Sonic walked into the house and looked around. All he could hear was My Chemical Romance blasting through the house.

He grinned as Shadow emerged from the kitchen sweeping and swinging his hips with the music. His grin broadened as he heard Shadow singing the chorus of the song along with his CD.

Sonic snuck into the kitchen and grabbed some crackers then walked back and sat on the couch. He munched on crackers while watching Shadow dance and sing. He loved the fact that the couch and were both blue, he blended right into it. Shadow hadn't even seen him yet and seemed to be enjoying his time "alone."

When the music stopped Shadow sighed and sat down on the couch. It felt unusually lumpy so he bounced on it a little. When that didn't solve anything, he signed and began to bounce a little rougher trying to work the lump out vigorously.

"Uhn." Shadow froze as the lump wrapped itself around him and smiled lazily. "Quite a performance you put on there Shadz...sorry I didn't see the end."

Shadow's face turned almost as red as his bandana. "T-Thank you Sonikku." He smiled sheepishly as Sonic kissed his cheek and let go of him.

"How was your day?" Sonic smiled and shifted so Shadow was on his lap instead of on his stomach.

"Good, I got the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen clean. Planning on ginishing the rest after lunch." Shadow smiled childishly and cuddled into Sonic.

Sonic smiled and began to tickle Shadow slightly. The ebony hedgehog began to writhe and squeal in his grasp."Sonniku! Stop!" When Sonic stopped, Shadow giggled softly and kissed his nose.

"You're such a kid sometimes," Sonic said playfully.

"Yup, yup, that's right! All girls have cooties! We must run from them Sonikku!" Shadow stuck his tongue out then snapped into a serious tone, "On a serious note, Amy stopped by for you earlier."

Sonic groaned while Shadow nodded innocently then went into the kitchen. When he came back, he was eating Chef Boyardee Ravioli with a few peanuts sprinkled on top.

"That looks...appetizing." Sonic smiled and stood up.

"Doesn't it?" Shadow smirked and took a bite.

"You're so strange." Sonic walked into the kitchen and took the remaining ravioli then started to make a chocolate milkshake. As soon as the blender started, Shadow raced into the kitchen and put his head on Sonic's shoulder with his tail wagging rapidly behind him.

"Sonikkuuuu." Shadow whined as Sonic only pulled one glass from the cupboard. Sonic glanced at Shadow and smiled promisingly before shutting the cupboard then walking over and setting the glass down.

Shadow watched him walk to the fridge and come back with whip cream and cherries. "You like cherries Shadz?"

"Never had one." Shadow stared at the red fruit Sonic had put into his palm while they were speaking. When he didn't try it, Sonic took it and popped it into Shadow's mouth. Shadow's eyes widened then he relaxed and looked at Sonic "I want another." Sonic grinned and handed Shadow another one then shook the can of whip cream.

"Whip cream sounds good," mumbled Shadow as he watched Sonic pour the milkshake into the glass. Sonic then adorned it with whip cream, couple cherries, and two straws.

"C'mon Shadz." Sonic picked up his ravioli and the milkshake then walked to the living room with Shadow in tow.

"Sonikku, couldn't you have just made two?"

"I figured we could just share...less dishes that way." Sonic started in on his meal as Shadow sat slowly eating while staring at the milkshake. Sonic slightly chuckled and received an annoyed growl from his partner. "It's all ours Shadz."

Shadow gave a surprised look then quickly grabbed the milkshake and started eating a cherry off the top.

"Don't hurt yourself Shadz," said Sonic softly. He scooted closer to Shadow and Shadow curled into him while drinking his milkshake.

"Thank you Sonniku." Shadow looked innocently at his lover and messed with his quills.

"Shadz?" Sonic wrapped his arm around him.

"Hmm?" Shadow looked at Sonic and sucked some of the milkshake out while continuing to keep his innocent persona.

"You've been acting weird lately...is something wrong?"

Shadow's eyes widened and his paused in his slurping and stared at Sonic blankly. 'He can't know, there's no way he knows!'

"Shadz?" Sonic looked worriedly at his lover and pulled him closer.

"I'm fine Sonikku." Shadow subconsciously pouted and slurped his milkshake.

"Shadz...you look so damn cute like that," Sonic whispered into his ear.

Shadow let a tiny blush grace his cheeks and hugged onto Sonic's arm minding his milkshake. "Thank you Sonic!" He relaxed as they both fell into a comfortable silence. Then smiled and cuddled further into the sapphire fur beside him.

"Love you Shadz." Sonic smiled and affectionately rubbed Shadow's back. Shadow let a small purr of satisfaction roll out of his mouth.

"Love you too Sonikku."

The shared a small kiss before Sonic got up to do the dishes. Shadow smiled at the kitchen doorway and rolled around on the couch.

"Shadow? Are you giggling?" Sonic poked his head out of the kitchen to see Shadow giggling and rolling around on their couch. He shook his head and grinned then went back to the dishes when Shadow fell off the couch.

'Shit...I better be careful next time! I can't fall on my stomach!' Shadow sat on the couch and rubbed his stomach trying to nurture what was inside.

"Hungry still Shadow?" Sonic looked at Shadow with a worried expression as he ceased rubbing his stomach.

"No, just fell on my tummy," replied Shadow smiling as cutely as possible.

"Oh." Sonic walked over and hugged Shadow around the middle then kissed his belly button sweetly. Shadow blushed then smiled like a child who had just received a bag of candy.

"Thank you Sonikku."

"You're welcome Shadz." Sonic kissed his forehead. "I have to go back and help Knuckles, love you Shadz."

"Bye-bye Sonikku!" Shadow waved sweetly as Sonic left.

'Hee...Sonikku kisses!' Shadow giggled to himself then put his cleaning gear back on. 'C'mon baby, we gotta finish cleaing!' He looked around the living room and sighed then started on his new job.
