Chapter 5: Morning issue
Sleep hasn't been this peaceful ever once in his life, even a glimpse he would never felt the comfort to ease his weary mind. However something about this night, for the first time in his artificial life he felt at ease , and a small amount of warmth engulfing him. Once again his mind was working overtime and knew he had to get up, and like normal routine he would get up at the crack of dawn, despite how tempting the sweet slumber was.
Cracking an eye open, his haze ruby orb focusing on his surrounding, until red clashes with green. Snapping his eyes wide open, he stared dumbfound at the blue hedgehog who had an expression of annoyance written all over his feature, scratch that, for the first time Shadow would allow himself to say it, over HIS beautiful features.
Shadow stared.
And stared some more.
A cough rang through his ears like a nail hitting on an iron floor in a dead silent room. Snapping out of his trance like state again, shaking his head lightly shrugging of that sleepiness out of his eyes.
"'Bout time you decided to wake up, sleeping beauty." The blue hedgehog spoke out in annoyance.
"…hm..?" was the only unintelligent respond Shadow could mustered in his groggy state, Shadow never was a morning person, nor did he ever fond of waking up in the morning either.
"Don't give me that "hm" ,man, I was thinking I gotta be stuck like this forever." Sonic pointed to the arms around his waist with a tint of red across his peachy cheeks.
Looking down Shadow notice his arms were invading the other's personal space, and even dared to wrap themselves around this sapphire hedgehog. As if reality just came sinking in, Shadow suddenly let go and end up falling off the bed on the other side; with a loud thud.
Sonic however he blinked. And blinked again. What the hell just happened, did he startled the black hedgehog that much? Or was it a normal reaction? Hell, when he woke up to the sunray shinning into his face, he felt two arms securing his body tightly as a body pressing closely to his.
Sweating, his eyes big as plate size, was the only first reaction came out of Sonic.
And sweating some more…
Then his mind screamed I have to get the hell out of this mess and decided the best course of action; was to leap out of the warm heaven. Unfortunately a few minutes passed a low and noticeable groan filled the silent room, Sonic made a face that said darn it look. The more he tried to struggle to get out of the vice grip, the stronger the hold was on him. Groaning again, Sonic couldn't get away and decided to settle just to glare half heartily at the sleeping face of the prince, waiting until his royal pain in the ass decides to wake up.
But never did Sonic think Shadow would react somewhere similar to him, but ...end up on the floor. A few minutes Sonic waited later, muffles of curses were heard, and an annoyed Shadow slowly getting off the floor.
"Ya alright?" Sonic asked looking down at Shadow, and remembering about his injuries; green eyes glittering with curious and concern.
"Fine, I'll live…"was Shadow's grunt of a reply.
Not amused by Shadow's statment that he was fine, but it was obvious to Sonic that he was still hurt and WAS NOT fine.
"Oh…yeah?"
"I said I am fine." Shadow retort, but green eyes stared not believing one bit.
Poke.
What the hell was all Shadow could mustered up in his mind, and turn to face the blue hedgehog who got a bored expression on his face, accusing of Shadow.
Poke. Again.
Lips press together tightly, refraining himself from wincing at the poking, yes a few simply annoying pokes, but dammit it hurts like hell after his punishment from last night with the lord what's his face of a king. Sadly no Sonic has not stop poking at the black hedgehog, trying to prove the fact that he was not fine, dammit that persistent moron wouldn't let him off without making a big deal out of it.
"Will you stop that?"
"Why? I like doing it." Sonic replied dryly.
"Fine, fine you gotten your point, it hurts like hell, happy?" Shadow grunted out with an irritatedly. "Now will you cut it out?"
Smirking in victory since Sonic already proven his point, much to Shadow's annoyance.
"But seriously man, what happened last night?" Sonic formed a curious expression. "Ya looked like ya were wrestling a herd of elephants and got drag all over hell and back."
If Sonic paid closed attention enough to Shadow's expression, he could notice that small twitched, but barely.
"Nothing that really concerns you." Shadow said blankly, and stalked over to his cupboard preparing his outfit for the day.
"Geez and here I was so worried about you, since you nearly lost all the blood in your body, thanks." Sonic mumbled.
"What was that?" Shadow turned around with a dark aura looming around him that said, you better shut up or you'll regret it look.
"I said I liked you better last night, jerk." Sonic crossed his arms in defiant, ignoring the present of Shadow's dark aura.
"You like me?" Shadow elegantly lift a brow, staring dead straight at Sonic.
Face was burning up, and words came rushing out of his mouth before he considered it. "Not in your life, ass--!"
Cough.
Turning around to see who was cutting him off his sentence, Sonic blinked dumbly statement forgotten.
Espio coughed to hush the blue hedgehog and reminding him of their status position. Sonic eyed the chameleon saying mentally asking him in his mind when the hell did YOU get up? Understanding the look Espio, just reply by staring back and forth between the two hedgehogs, understanding it's meaning, Sonic translated as in I've been up long enough to hear you both bickering like old married couples. This time it was Sonic who twitched at the purple chameleon.
For a few minutes of complete silences and no more remarks from the blue one, Shadow was curious to what was going on between the two. From one side Shadow notice the intense staring contest…well Sonic was glaring and Espio was just staring in full resolvement.
Strange guys were that all came across Shadow's mind. Never in his life he has witness someone or let alone two others acting so casual around him, when everyone feared him and even feared more of his sorry excuse of a creator.
Giving up Sonic just turned to the wall and crossing his arm like a child pouting, if glaring could burn that wall Sonic been glaring at would have black holes in them. Shadow chuckled at the gesture, only to have Sonic turn his eyes toward the young prince.
"Ain't funny." Sonic protested.
"I didn't say anything." Shadow smirked.
Sonic only narrowed his eyes at the prince, only to have his smirk wider.
"I don't like you."
"You said that you liked me, just a few minutes ago."
"Then I say you gotta find yourself a doctor." Sonic still glaring at shadow, "And I hate you."
Espio slapped his face, and groaned this is going to turn out bad….really bad.
Snorting whilst suppressing his laughter down, Shadow just rolled his eyes. "And I love you so much."
Espio coughed in the middle of his yawning, whilst Sonic's eyes just rolled out of their socket, they did NOT just hear that.
"…Huh..?" was only Sonic's reply.
"What?" That scowl returned to Shadow's feature. "I was kidding, so get clean and dress, you can't stay in bed all day."
Two pair of eyes watched as the royal prince made his way to the bathroom and finally shutting the door, and their bodies still frozen in place.
Once in the bathroom, Shadow let out a relief sigh that he's been holding in. So one is wild and untamed, the other is quiet and calculative.
I am closer to freedom.
Sonic was an interesting creature he ever met, and hopefully it would all pay out for him, but for now he had to lay low and continue to do as daily basis.
Walking over to the mirror, firmly put on his normal scowl and detached expression onto his face, and readying himself for the meeting soon to come today.

I'm very sorry for the late delay (long ass delayed) and thank you for those who support my story and reviews. However this story I have lost interested in, and trying to find some inspiration to continue on. And other dilemma props in, and also I'm sorry for the shortness, nothing really comes up to my mind atm, so it would take a while until I wrap up a good chapter.
