Ragna:Took you long enough.
Krystal:heh heh yeah sorry about that I've...been having non stop problems
Usui:Well let's get started. Krystal doens't own anything except us unfortunately.
Krystal:hey!
It was cliche...he knew that.
Sonic managed a small smile to Shadow. "Hello again." Shadow's crimson eyes dazzled Sonic, the dark hedgehog following the blue one out of the room.
"I didn't know you were that smart...Sonic" Shadow said sounding more as an insult than a compliment and by the looks of it he also forgot his name.'great' Sonic thought sarcasticly. "I am not that stupid but...seems math isn't my forte."The two had almost reached the hedgies locker, the very spot the two officially met only five and a half hours beforehand.
"T-then why isn't Scourge tutoring you, i-if you don't mind my questioning." Sonic mentally cursed. 'Way to sound intelligent!' He chastised.
Glancing to the side Sonic saw the black hedgie shrug. "He used to have no problem with it, but recently Scourge doesn't want to help me."Shadow said crossing his arms over his white,fluffy chest fur. They reached Sonic's locker, the blue blur quickly throwing the door open and grabbing only the minimum necessary for homework. "I got tired of waiting around for Scourge to tutor me so I asked Professor Edgeworth for help."
Sonic nodded, following the train completely. However, this steam powered engine decided to make an unplanned stop. Why would Scourge suddenly stop tutoring his Best Friend?Sonic pushed the thought to the back of his head for later, he couldn't afford to get stuck debating with himself around Shadow. "Where do you want to go?" Reluctantly Sonic turned to his crush, nervously chewing his bottom lip.
Shadow's gaze turned to him,which made his legs feel like jelly. "Maybe we can go to a café or something… that is…" Shadow dropped his gaze to the ground, "unless you want to tutor me at your house or mine."
Sonic should have seen the comment coming. Sonic had been over to Shadow,s house on a couple of occasions when Shadow decided to throw a party, however Sonic had never been in the place as Shadow. The two somehow always missed each other, thus the reason they never met until now. Getting over his shock, Sonic cleared his throat. "I can tutor you at your house if you want, I don't care to much."Sonic didn't meant for his words to be so indifferent but Shadow seemed like he didn't care about that.
"Fine" Shadow's voice was a little harsh, "Let's start walking then." Sonic followed the always serious Shadow ,Sonic made little small talk to no get bored on the way to the house. Sonic managed to discover that Shadow and Scourge went running every morning, usually on the beach.
The two had easily covered three neighborhoods in their little small talk, only a few houses down from the townhouse Shadow shared with their mother,Amy. The wonderfully(?) sweet pink hedgehog cared for a huge garden that somehow only flourished in her backyard.
Sonic's head whipped over to look at Shadow. "Where almost there" Sonic let out a relieved sigh. "What tired of walking already?"Shadow asked a hint of a smirk on his lips.
"No no it's just that..."the blue hedgie tried to think of something even a lie for chaos sake!, but sadly his mind was blank.
Shadow's smirk finally graced his wonderful lips, Sonic shook his head indisbelief. He had to be crushing on him no less? What had the world come to? "Well…" Sora began again. "Where here oh and if my mother offers you cookies just say no ." Before he could ask why Shadow opened the door so Sonic just gave a small smile, the two stopping just outside the door. "Here we are" Shadow grabbed Sonic's hand, the one that wasn't needed to carry his books and dragged him inside.
All the while, Sonic's brain chanted, 'he's touching you!' Zexion flushed, his mind almost going as far to say as, 'I am never washing this hand. Ever.' The emerald eyed hedgie chuckled slightly at his own stupidity as Shadow led him to the living room. "Here, sit down. I'll go get us something to drink." Shadow grinned only a little, and went into the kitchen attached by a small door.
Sonic examined the room, as he always did when visiting. Amy had the habit of adding new items, or changing things around in the house quite frequently, and Sonic always tried to spot them from memory. The walls were still a crème, the windows draped in a pinkl colored fabric. The couches were now slip covered with a chocolate brown jersey fabric, and the coffee tables covered with the peanut butter color. Stepping farther into the room, Sonic noted Amy moved the family photos to the west wall, the last items to be seen until you stepped fully into the room. The small television, very rarely used in the busy family, was against the north wall, surrounded by abstract shaped canvas, the different shapes all having either one of the chocolate, the pink or the crème color.
He finally sat on the couch, nearest the coffee table and pulled out a notebook. With a deep breath, Sonic leaned back and closed his eyes for a little..
"I grabbed some orange juice if that's alright. I didn't think you liked to drink soda." Shadow placed the glass on a small coaster near Sonic. The black one then placed his own to the side after taking a small sip.
Sonic said a quick 'thank you', sitting up once again in the chair. "So" he clapped his hands together "What do you wanna work on first?"
Shadow was silent as he pulled out his algebra book and notebook. At this Sonic got worried. "I... don't really understand the whole quadratic formula stuff." Shadow glared daggers at the book as if blaming it.
With a small smile, Sonic leaned over and grabbed the book. "The quadratic formula is regular in mathematics. Once you are aware of the processes to solve it, the quadratic formula is pretty simple." Sonic opened the book to the right page, laying it out on the table before them. "I'll recomend you to memorize it too, Mr. Edgeworth doens't allow references in exams."
Shadow seemed to glare even more. "I'm going to pretend I understood everything you said right there."
Sonic bit his tongue before continuing. "If you use it often enough, you will memorize it before you even knew it. Negative B plus or minus the square root of B squared minus four times A times C, all over two times A." Sonic rambled out, quickly jotting down the formula on a spare piece of paper in tidy scrawl.
Shadow stared at him in practical awe. "How do you remember all of that?"
"…practice."
"oh."
Sonic glanced at the book. "Did Mr. Edgeworth assign you any practice problems?" Shadow responded by pulling out another sheet of paper, littered with questions. It looked like Mr. Edgeworth's handwriting on a piece of printer paper. Sonic took a quick glance. "Okay, I recommend getting out another sheet of paper and work on that one."
Sonic sat back and watched as Shadow watched the paper, trying to work on the first question. Sonic took a quick breath, trying to calm his racing heart. He blindly watched as Shadow focused intently as his eyes bored into the paper. Sonic felt the blush working up on his face. 'Oh god, look somewhere else!' Zexion let his eyes wander. This time his green eyes rested on Shadow's back, his lower back to be precise. The part that was faintly revealed with Shadow leaning over to work on the problem. Sonic quickly turned his head, practically snapping his neck trying to glance away from the sight.
Sonic faked a cough to get Shadow's attention. Sonic stood up. "I'm sorry, but I have something important to do and I shouldn't be late." He proceeded to pick up his items and schooled an apologetic expression upon his face. "I'm sorry Shadow."
Shadow stood up, worry visible in his blood red eyes. "Okay, then." He looked away, disappointment clearly showing in the way he held himself. "When should we meet again?"
Zexion shrugged, "When do you not have practice next?"
"Saturday."
"Then we'll meet Saturday." Sonic looked at the clock. "does noo sound good?"
"We can meet here." Shadow smiled softly, glancing at her now present mother who had just baked some cookies unfortunately.
The blue haired hedgehog nodded and walked to the door. "See you then." Before Shadow and Amy could say goodbye,Sonic was out the door and practically breaking the sound barrier to his apartment.
Krystal:Short but its all I could do I'm sorry
Ragna:hey hey whats with the tears now?
