Sonic was sitting in the signing chair, a small pile of Dudeitude CDs on the table. The come-back concert had been a huge hit, and they had almost completely sold out of merchandise. Tails and Knuckles had gone back stage for a bit, leaving Sonic by himself to do a few more signings.
He had been greeted by a large cue of screaming fangirls earlier, the most notable one being Amy, but everything was quiet now. He doubted that he would see anymore, but he decided to wait around nonetheless, just to be sure.
He was currently tuning his multi-necked guitar and humming to himself, with his feet rested on the table. He heard footsteps approaching, and assumed it was either his fellow band members or another eager fan. Or Amy, coming back to talk to him privately.
The stranger stood at the other side of the table, casting a shadow on Sonic. "So what will it be, an autograph? Free CD?" He questioned, not looking up.
"I came for a bit more that that" the stranger replied.
Sonic recognised the voice almost immediately. He glanced up to see Shadow staring down at him. "Shadow!" He exclaimed, putting down his guitar and taking his feet off the table "You came! I didn't think you would"
Shadow leaned over the table and grabbed Sonic by his neckerchief and pulled him to his feet. Their faces were close together, their noses touching. "I wouldn't miss it for the world" Shadow replied, planting a kiss on Sonic's lips.
He then let go of Sonic's neckerchief and allowed him to fall back into his chair. Sonic blushed, lifting his hand and adjusting his trademark accessory. He then cleared his throat "Did you- uh enjoy the concert?" He asked.
Shadow perched himself on his side of the table "I enjoyed it very much" he replied. "Can't say the same about the screaming crowd but you can't have everything"
"Anything stand out for you?" Sonic asked cheekily, leaning forwards.
Shadow smirked, leaning closer to Sonic "I liked your guitar solo, it was really something to... Marvel at"
"Do you want to hear a little I've been working on?" Sonic asked, wrapping his hand around his guitar.
"I'd love to" He replied.
Sonic grinned "I was hoping you'd say that" tightening his grip on the guitar and picking it up. He then stood up, moving aside and putting one leg up on his chair.
Shadow gazed at him, looking intrigued. Sonic lowered his head and began to strum. The melody wasn't slow, but nor was it loud. It was soft and gentle. He looked up at Shadow passionately.
He hummed to the sound of his guitar, before finishing his short piece.
"That's uh... All I got so far" the blue hedgehog explained. "Need to work on the lyrics, nothing's really come to mind yet"
"I thought you were all about rock music" Shadow commented.
"I thought I might try something different... Just for you" he replied. "Don't you like it?" He asked.
Shadow shook his head "No, I thought it was great. It would be nice to hear your voice along with it" he said. "Maybe I could come round sometime, help you write them" he suggested, a smirk on his face. Sonic wasn't sure if he was just talking about the song.
"That could be arranged" Sonic replied.
Shadow leaned in and planted another kiss on Sonic's lips "It's a date". He swiped one of the CDs and began to walk away "I'll be expecting a free t-shirt"
"You'll get one... Sooner than you think"
