In Denial
Chapter 4 – Admit
A/N: This story wasn't meant to focus in on Shadow, so this chapter will begin with Shadow and end with Sonic. There probably won't be anymore chapters that focus on Shadow unless you want more of those. Also, I got my first vote after I started the beginning of this chapter and it turned out to be Amy, so I'll have to change the story into a SonicXAmy somehow. '…' is thinking.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters Sega does.

Shadow walked into Sonic's mansion, his regular ruby eyes a dark blood red. Sonic ran up to him with a cheery smile. "Hey Shads, how did it go? Oh right, can I call you Shads?" Shadow shot him a glare and kept walking. "Shadow, what's wrong, was it something I said?" Sonic sighed, 'Maybe I overreacted a little last night. Putting G.U.N. outside of his room was a bit much.' He went to go sit on a nearby couch as Tikal walked in. "Hey Tikal."
She sat next to him, "Hey Sonic, what's wrong."
Sonic smiled when he saw Tikal's face. 'She's such a nice Echidna. Tikal is always so caring with her actions. She probably knows me on the inside better than anyone.' "Nothing's wrong, I was just thinking, that's all."
"Oh okay. So how's your day been?" The smile on Sonic's face immediately disappeared.
"Well, I'm not quite sure. This morning was fine, but just now Shadow walked and was pissed. I think I might have overreacted to how he behaved last night."
"Don't worry about it Sonic. He'll probably get over it towards the end of the week. If you're still stressed out about it, perhaps I could make you feel better." As she said this, Tikal rested her head against his chest. "I'll always be here for you Sonic."

A few hours later after Tikal left, Knuckles came over. He walked in and shouted, "Sonic, get your ass out here!" Sonic walked up to Knuckles causally. "There you are! I need to know what's going on between you and Tikal. Are you dating her because you want to be with her or are you dating her just to be… dating her?!"
Sonic blinked, 'I guess I should tell someone how I feel.' "Knuckles, I'm not really sure if I want to be her. As you know I'm dating her and Amy. What I like about Tikal is that she's caring, but I think Amy is the one I want to be with."
"You realize that she'll be devastated if you dump her just because you're dating Amy too! Sonic, are you willing to break Tikal's heart with no care?!"
"Look Knuckles, I didn't say I was going to dump her. I said that I think Amy is the one I want be with and if I do choose Amy over Tikal, I will care about it. I'm not heartless when it comes to dating like you."
Sonic's statement only heightened Knuckles temper. "Do what you want you little bastard, but when you break Tikal's heart your ass is mine!" He then stormed out of Sonic's mansion.

A/N: I have absolutely no idea what the next chapter should be about, so if you want to you can submit some suggestions. Also, reviews are welcome, flames are not. Next update is July 14th.
