A Shadow the Hedgehog story


Songfic – Shadow x Amy

"Then I Met You" the Proclaimers


Though that I'd be happy

Gonna be so happy living life alone

And never sharing anything

Shadow's eyes opened slowly. The silence of the night enveloped him, alone, lonely. A dream had awakened him, a happy dream, which dreaming in itself was new, but never happy.

Thought that I was finished, Thought that I was complete

Thought that I whole instead of being half of something

Thought that I was growing, growing older

Amy's eyes opened, the bed lonely because of it's emptiness. She turned over with a sob. She never awoke to another's arms waiting to comfort her after the old nightmare, the memory of her rejection.

Wiser, understanding why this world held nothing for my spirit

Thought that I was destined, destined to be nothing, destined

To be nothing in this world and then I Met You

Shadow heard the sob. He had not been far away. He dropped onto the window seal, his head cocked at the sight of Miss Amy Rose sobbing alone in bed. The forgotten believe they are alone until they find others of their kind… He thought to himself. He lowered himself silently to the floor.

I met you

Amy sat up when she felt his weight on the bed. "Amy?" A kind, if rough, voice enquired. Her ears perked in recognition.

"Shadow?"

Thought that God had failed me

Thought my prayers were useless

Thought that he would never give the chance for me to praise him

Shadow smiled at the new light in her eyes. "Shadow!" She hugged him, nuzzling deep into the pale fur of his chest. His hand lifted to stroke the back of her head wonderingly. Perhaps not so forgotten after all…

Thought the book was written

Thought the game had ended

Thought the song was sung and I could never sing another

Amy sighed softly as she drifted off to sleep, half sprawled across Shadow's lap. She hoped he wouldn't be too terribly angery, but she was just so tired! They would be able to visit in the morning, however… When she could think strait again.

Thought my faith was misplaced

Thought my back was broken

Broken by a weight that I was never fit to carry

Amy was not the only one emotionally exhausted, Shadow found out as he slipped off to sleep as well, pulling her closer to himself as he curled up on her bed. It was a first, but would not be a last.

Thought I knew this city, thought I knew all about it

And then one night I went to Morningside and you were waiting

Then I Met You


Cuuuuuuute... But I had a flame. My response: Blink blink, shrug. Everyone's entitled to their own oppion. I guess I'll just go put up a ShadAmy warning in the Summary, huh?
