Tails POV
"Tails?"
"Huh?"
I look up. Shadow. How did he get in? Oh. Right, chaos control. Just what I needed. I'm crying really hard, and I can't really see, but it looks like he's approaching me. He looks... like Sonic. I've never seen him show any emotion but anger and stress, but he looks sympathetic. It looks like he feels bad for whatever I've been through even though he probably doesn't know what it is. I feel... warm... inside me I feel warm. Is this love?
"Shadow?" I whimper.
"Yeah? What's wrong?"
"If I... um... broke a law... would you... would you arrest me?"

"Well..."
I stop my crying and I look up. Shadow looks both surprised and confused. I know he's thinking.
"Well, depends on what law. Maybe I can let it slide if it isn't so bad. Did you break a law?"
"What if the law... the law is... um... unfair?"

"Like... like a law that prevents people from living their lives regularly."
"I don't think there is such a law. But if there was, and you broke it, I would not arrest you. I would fight against that law for you."
He smiles and holds my hand. I smile back. I have lots of great friends. No. Actually, they're my family. Their part of my everyday lives. And if Shadow is willing to fight for me, he really loved me. But is that the love that homosexuals feel? Is this the kind of love that I feel? I have so many things in my head that I want to ask but all I can muster is a smile. My curious nature can wait. Now I'll just experience the moment. He crawls to the door and sits next to me. He wraps his arm around me.
"Now tell me. What law did you break?"
"Well, it's a long story..."
"I've got time."
"Ok, well... I was gonna take today off as a break... and..."
