Chapter Two

Afternoon rides

Shadow mumbled down numbers to himself as he took inventory. It was quite easy for Shadow, so he did this chore more happily then the rest. Anything else, he hated. While in the middle of task, he realized he was tapping his foot. He didn't remember doing or even starting that. Then he heard a song kind of squeeze into his head. 'Ooh...that explains it...' He wasn't the one for Bruno Mars, but he got used to it. Sonic kind of liked him, so he had to hear it when Sonic was cleaning. There was one song that reminded Shadow of his dear blue hedgehog. Just The Way You Are. It just reminded him Sonic so much. He didn't know why, but he liked it.

Shadow finished his chore and looked at the clock. Three forty-five. Shadow went into the back room, got his stuff, signed out, then left. He got to his motorcycle amd took off his work shirt to reveal a white tanktop. His gold, chain necklace got caught, so Shadow sat there trying to unhook it. (Shadow isn't the one for gold, but Sonic got for him and he said they were magnets. So when they're close, they connect.) When he finally did, he put his shirt in his backpack and put on his leather jacket. He got on the bike and started it. The engine roared, then he took off.

Sonic walked out of class in hurry. He really wanted to go home. He wanted to see his beloved. He wanted to get away from the dudes behind him!

"Come here, Blue!" one taunted. 'Leo Collins...'

"Hey! You ignoring us!" another called. 'Shane Gress..'

"Baby, come on!" said a girl. 'Fiona Fox...'

" Blue! Come here, babe." said the leader of the group. 'and Scourge Pistol...'

Sonic was frightened by the gang. He had been their victim since day one. He really didn't know them, nor did he want to, but they just picked on him all the time. The green one looked just like Sonic, but the color difference made it easy for people to tell the difference. He had come out of prison for rape, and he wanted more. He nearly did it to poor, young Sonic, but Shadow had spotted them.

Sonic ran faster and came to the sidewalk, where Shadow was waiting. He ran to him and hugged him. Shadow hugged him back and kissed him on the forehead. Sonic burried his face into Shadow fur and put his ears down. Shadow suddenly got the feeling that something was wrong. He looked up and saw the group. The four stared at him and the he stared at the four. The quad-group turned, and left. Shadow turned so Sonic could got on the bike.

Sonic grabbed the red helmet, and sat behind Shadow. Shadow never really needed a helmet. He said since he was immortal, a simple hit on the head wouldn't do so much as a minor headache. But Shadow knew he was capable of dying by force, but only one spot.

Sonic wrapped his arms around his lover and held on for his dear life. He hated these things. He knew Shadow was going to do it again. He always does. He didn't like it. He suddenly the bike being lifted at an angle, and the engine roared. So did Sonic's scream in terror. The bike began to move and fell back to two wheels.

"I hate you!" Sonic cried "you know how much I hate that! You jerk!"

Shadow laughed and turned his head slightly, "What? You don't trust me?"

Sonic burried his helmeted head Shadow's back. "Not when you do that! It scares me!"

"Okay, okay." Shadow said smoothly, "I won't do it again. I promise."

"Thats what you always say." replied Sonic. That was the end of the conversation as the two rode through town. Then, as Sonic was about the fall asleep, the bike stopped. They were infront of an ally-way and on the otherside was a bank. Sonic lifted his head and took of the helmet. He looked around. "What are we doing here?" he asked.

"I have to go to the bank real quick." he replied as got something from his bag, "I won't take long. Just got to deposit something." He put his bag down and kissed Sonic. He then turned to walk away. Suddenly, he turned and said, "Don't talk to strangers!"

Sonic rolled his eyes. "Okay, Daddy!" he called back. He got out his bag and started to work on his homework.

Yay! The second chapter!

So how was this? Better? Worse?
