Sonic's POV

Silver comes back downstairs after a while. He looks really worrisome, but he isn't alone. I'm just as worried for Shadow as much as Silver is.

"S-Sonic?" Silver looks at me.

"Yes Silver?" I look up at him.

"D-do you think, Shadow might have to go to the hospital?" He asks me, his eyes full of pain.

"I-I don't know Silver...I wish I knew.." I say, trying to keep myself calm.

Silver looks down, his hands clasped together. He's really hurt by all of this. I'm just as bad. I start to pace, and I can't stop myself from doing so. Silver looks at me.

"Sonic, you know you worry me and Shadow whenever you do that," he says shakily.

My arms are crossed, and I get a bad thought in my head. I stop and my face goes completely blank. Silver looks at me worried and concerned.

"S-Sonic?" He starts walking towards me slowly.

My ears bend and my eyes water. I bite my quivering lip to try and stop myself from crying, but it's not worth trying.

"Sonic? Sonic please don't cry" Shadow's voice rings through my head.

I can't take it. "Sonic, don't be sad, don't be afraid, I'm gonna be alright. I promise," his voice rings through my head again.

"Sonic?" Silver puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Shadow's voice. I can hear Shadow's voice..." I sigh shakily, tears starting to stream down my face.

"It sounds really hurt..." I say painfully.

Silver hugs me.

"Shadow's alright for now...I promise.." he mumbles worried.

I don't know if I can believe him, but I try as best as I can. For Shadow.

Shadow's POV

I turn and yawn, nuzzling my face into the pillow. I'm too lazy to get up and walk downstairs, so I just stay in bed. Sonic and Silver are talking about me downstairs.

"Shadow's Ultimate Life Form status, might possibly help him with this bug," Sonic says, his voice lower than normal.

"But, doesn't it also depend on how long he's been sick?" I hear Silver ask.

"Hmm, good point Silver. He said this started at like, three this morning," Sonic explains.

I sit up, a little dizzy and lightheaded. I let out a huge yawn, making my eyes water. I'm pretty sure Sonic heard me cause he stops talking.

"What is it Sonic?" Silver asks.

"I think Shadow might be awake," Sonic says, sighing a little.

I collapse back into the pillow and cough. My attempts to muffle the sound don't seem to work though.

"Yep, he's awake. And he's coughing." Silver says hearing me.

I can't stop coughing now, it seems to be getting worse. I hear Sonic and Silver walk upstairs towards my door. Sonic taps his hand against the door.

"Shadow, you alright?" He asks me, but I can't give an answer.

My nose twitches and I sneeze. Silver opens the door halfway.

"Shadow?" Silver starts walking slowly towards me.

I groan and start coughing again. Silver starts rubbing my back, and it actually feels really nice. My shoulders shift, and I eventually stop coughing. I get a horrible taste in my mouth and a bad feeling in my stomach.

"Shadow?" Sonic's voice is kinda shaky.

"You've been crying haven't you Sonic?" I raise my head off the pillow and look at him.

He starts stuttering.

"I um well uh heheh um," he mutters.

"He did," Silver answer my question for him.

I roll my eyes a tad and yawn again. Silver stops rubbing my back. Sonic looks at me and speaks again.

"Shadow?"

"Yes Sonic?" I look up at him, that horrible taste returning.

"Do you think, you might have to go to a hospital?" He asks.

Before I can answer, my stomach is in my throat. Sonic and Silver get a concerned look on their faces. I cringe and just fall onto my side, my hand on my mouth. I can't make any attempt to keep it back. My mouth just fills, and I almost choke. Sonic looks at me worried. I slam into the door and pull the damn thing open. I've never been this sick or had this bad of a bug before. I'm starting to get worried myself...this is bad.

Silver's POV

Shadow hacks, coughs, and pukes. He can't seem to stop either and it sounds disgusting. Sonic shudders at the sound, I just stand there sighing. Just as it sounds like Shadow's done, he vomits again.

"This is going to, mmpnh, burn a hole through my throat..." Shadow says faintly.

He groans and throws up for almost another five minutes. I have a bad feeling about all of this. His stomach gurgles and makes a whole plethora of disgusting and sick sounds. Shadow moans and collapses onto his side. Sonic and I are by his side in an instant. Sonic heaves Shadow up off the floor and carries him back into his room. Shadow's stomach doesn't seem to like him right now. Sonic lays Shadow on the bed.

"If you need anything just text us or holler for us," Sonic says looking at Shadow.

Shadow doesn't say a word. Sonic walk towards the door.

"You coming Silver?" He asks.

"Huh? Oh, yeah." I sigh.

Shadow grabs my arm weakly.

"Please stay.." Shadow says quietly.

Sonic looks at me and I look at Shadow. I worry that if I don't stay Shadow will refuse to rest.

"Alright, I'll stay." I answer.

Sonic walks out of the room and closes the door behind him. Shadow let's go of my arm. He looks honestly horrible and extremely exhausted. I hold onto his hand and stay by his side until his eyes close.
