Disclaimer: I do not Own Shadow the Hedgehog or Amy Rose or any Sonic Team related characters. But if I owned Shadow I'd just hug him lots and tickle his chest fur

Chapter Eight
Shadow couldn't move. He didn't know what to do. He'd never been kissed before, he closed his eyes and let the rose hedgehog kiss him. Amy pulled away with a huge blush on her cheeks. Shadow opened his eyes and looked at her. His blush was a shade lighter than Amy's, even though he felt like his face was on fire. Amy gingerly touched his face, willing to be near the mysterious hedgehog. Shadow turned his face away embarrassed to high hell. Amy smiled sadly at him and started to get up. Shadow quickly grabbed her waist to keep her in place. He traced his finger down her smooth cheek. Amy leant into his touch, his so gentle touch. Shadow then began to sit up. Amy got the hint and moved off of him. Shadow stood up then smoothed his fur down. He turned to Amy and offered her his hand. She smiled up at him and willingly took it. He pulled her up with no effort at all. Although when she stood she fell forward into him, almost knocking them to the floor again. Shadow steadied her before he gently let her go. The pair were silent for awhile. It wasn't an awkward silence, but Amy hated the silence.
"I'll go and get you some pillows and a blanket" She said before disappearing upstairs. Shadow looked at his hands. He had touched her like a lover. Although Shadow had never been kissed before he knew what the concept was about. You kissed someone you really liked. His mind span, I thought she liked the faker He sat on her sofa, contemplating getting the hell out of there to clear his mind, but could he do that? Could he just get up and leave when the rose hedgehog had said what she felt with no words? He held his aching head. His mind couldn't cope with someone actually liking him for him. From what he actually could remember, not many people liked him. Which was evident to this day. He led down, wondering what was taking Amy so long. He shut his eyes awaiting her return. His ears twitched at a sudden light noise. He slowly sat up and watched her come down the stairs. She had changed into a set of purple pj's. She gently continued her way to the sofa, making sure to look where she was going, just incase Shadow was already asleep. Shadow watched her. She'd brushed her quills and she smelt of a mixture of mint toothpaste and some perfume. She walked around the side of the sofa knelt down and separated the pillows from the blanket. She looked up to where she thought he'd be laying, her eyes travelled up his red tainted arms to where he was staring at her. She blushed slightly.
"Here" She said putting the pillow where his head would be. She gently stood up again and unfolded the blanket. She placed it on his lap. "Sleep well, Shadow the Hedgehog" She smiled before quickly kissing him on the forehead and walking up to her bedroom.
Amy woke up with an unheavy heart for the first time in years. She smiled to herself before getting up and walking into her en-suite bathroom. She dressed in another pink dress, which was a little lighter than her usual one. She slowly walked downstairs, forgetting about the sofa, she needed a coffee. She walked into her kitchen, hoping for the machine to be full. When she walked in, she stopped abruptly in the doorway. Shadow sat at her kitchen table with a mug of coffee in his hands. He had his eyes closed and Amy thought for one moment that he was asleep. As she walked further into the kitchen his right eye opened towards her. She smiled warmly at him. He smirked back.
"Morning" She said happily. Shadow nodded. "Sleep well?" She asked nicely. Shadow shrugged
"Can't complain" He murmured. Amy nodded and carried her walk to the coffee machine. Shadow looked into his cup. The truth was that, last night he had had the most peaceful nights sleep he'd had in years. Amy felt the coffee pot. It was just over warm, just the way she liked it. she reached for a mug from the glass cupboard. She poured herself a nice cup of coffee, she walked to the fridge and took the semi-skimmed milk from the front of the door. She walked back to her coffee, poured the white liquid and then put it back in the fridge. Shadow watched her from the corner of his eye. All he could think about was Amy's kiss.
"Do you want breakfast?" She asked him, bringing him out of this thoughts, He shook his head and went back to staring at his coffee. "Shadow, when was the last time you ate something?" she asked softly, yet with a tint of worry. Shadow shrugged.
"I don't remember" He said truthfully. Amy frowned at him.
"Well, you must eat then" she instructed. Shadow sighed. What had he gotten himself into?
After Amy had been cooking for half an hour and the smell of her good cooking Shadow's stomach actually started to grumble. Shadow licked his lips when Amy placed the plates down infront of him. He gobbled it all down whilst using his manners. Amy sat down with a plate for herself. Consisting of scrambled eggs, sausages, bacon and baked beans. By the time she had taken her first bite, Shadow had pushed his plate away from himself and had a smug looking expression on his face. He looked at her delicately eating her breakfast and a slight blush stained his cheeks. Amy ate as fast as she could, but when she had finished the dark hedgehog had left the room. She put Shadow's and her plate into the sink to be washed at a later date. She walked into the living room where she found Shadow laying on the sofa. She smiled. Shadow heard Amy move about in the kitchen. He wanted to run. he itched to run. Could he just go and not say anything to the other hedgehog? Or was he obliged to say something to her since they shared a kiss? Shadow looked up at the pink hedgehog as her head came over the sofa. She gave her a warm look before he got up. Amy watched him head towards the door. As he reached it, he paused.
"It's okay Shadow" Amy's voice came over from the sofa. "You're always welcome back no matter where you go" and with that said she disappeared up the stairs. Shadow sighed, opened the door and ran out into the nice warm spring day.
Shadow ran to clear his head, but unfortunately that's not what he got. As he ran through a bit of woodland, he caught a flash of blue out of the corner of his eye. That's all he needed today. That faker on his tail. Shadow changed direction but the blur turned the same way. Shadow skidded to a stop. The blue blur skidded to a stop too. Shadow scowled. As Sonic stepped out from where he had stopped, Shadow put his fists on his hips. He'd tolerated the faker til now.
"What?" he asked irritably. Sonic shrugged,
"Noticed you came out of Amy's house this morning" He said. Shadow blushed and turned his head away from the blue hedgehog.
"So?" he retorted, still not looking at his blue counterpart. Sonic gave Shadow a knowing look and a wink. Shadow shot the blue creature a disgusting look. "Is that all?" He asked turning his back on the faker.
"Kinda" Sonic shrugged.
"Good. I wish to run." he stated and seeing Sonic's egar look "Alone" he added. Sonic pouted
"Fine" Shadow smirked before running off, leaving Sonic on his own in the clearing. Pouting.
