Hadow Part 2

Shadow was the first to wake up. Hiro still had his arms wrapped around his waist. Shadow liked it, he started trying to go back to sleep. It was easy with Hiro's arms wrapped around him.

After a bit Hiro slowly woke up and blushed. He quickly released his arms from around the hedgehog's waist. Shadow smiled and said "It's fine, Hiro. I didn't mind it at all." Hiro blushed some more as a shocked look appeared on his face.

Hiro went downstairs to get them some breakfast. Hiro came back up with a banana and an apple. He held the two fruits infront of Shadow.

"Which one do you want?" Hiro asked.

"The banana." Shadow replied.

Hiro and Shadow ate the fruit in silence, then Hiro asked a question.

"How old are you?"

Shadow flinched a bit but replied "I am 16 or 17. I don't know the exact year but I do know close to it."

Hiro nodded and kept eating his apple.

"What about you? How old are you Hiro?" Asked Shadow

"I'm only 15."

"Hiro."

"Yes, Shadow?"

"What gender do you prefer or like?"

Hiro looked down at the floor. He'd told him everything else so why not tell him the truth on this as well.

"I am gay, I've never told anyone because I don't want to get beat up. I've seen the kids get beat up at school, but I help them."

Shadow nodded

"Hiro, I'm gay as well. I told 1 person in my life, but they didn't take it too well."

"Who was it?"

"It was a guy I was crushing so hard on. I told him, and he was cool with it, he was straight, but turned me down politely and we remained friends."

"That's not bad."

"No, that part wasn't. Someone else found out and told everyone. They beat me up with textbooks everyday for no damn reason."

"Shadow."

Hiro dropped his apple and hugged Shadow as tears we're welling up in both their eyes. They just hugged for a while. They cried on each other's shoulder for a few minutes until they regained their composure, and sat up staring at each other again.

"Hiro." Asked Shadow.

"Yes?"

"What do you do when you're bored?"

"Well I make robots, but recently I've just been cutting and listening to music."

"I just walk down the streets and hope it rains."

"The rain is lovely."

"I agree."

"Shadow, why must we live with this pain?"

Shadow looked down at the floor.

"We have to live with the pain because we fucked up something we couldn't fix to begin with, Hiro."

Hiro looked at Shadow's head and took his hand and forced Shadow to look at him.

"Hiro, what are you doing?"

"You cursed, like badly."

"Yeah, so?"

"I like it."

Hiro just stared into Shadow's blood red eyes. It was like a pool in hell with sparkling blood. It was magnificent and Hiro wanted to get in the pool.

Shadow stared at Hiro's smile. The small gap was cute, then he focused on his eyes. His brown eyes. Shadow couldn't name it, but his eyes were just magnetizing to his brain. He just couldn't look away from his eyes.

Hiro leaned in, only a few inches away from Shadow's lips, then backed away. Shadow grasped his hands on Hiro's shoulders and said "Hiro, We have similar pain. I want to see if we have the similar feeling during this too." Shadow pulled Hiro in and kissed his lips. Hiro's lips were moist and his top lip slid into Shadow's mouth. Shadow closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss they were having. Hiro closed his eyes and enjoyed the kiss as well.
