Not alone anymore: chapter 9
Sonic's POV
I had been 3 hours and it was lunch time now. I was hungry, but i didn't want to leave shadow sleeping alone. He really broke down hard just 3 hours ago. How could i leave him behind all alone without knowing if he would or wouldn't hurt himself? I had decided to eat lunch here instead of going home for lunch.
I was eating lunch downstairs when i heard footsteps walking slowly down the stairs. "sonic, you're still here?" Shadow asked when he walked into the kitchen. "yeah i am. i got worried about you after you broke down. so i've decided to stay here." I said and finished my lunch. "you mean?" He asked in confusion. "i mean, that i've decided that i'm not going to leave you. just like you had requested me." I said and smiled to him. "thank you." He said and smiled. I stood up and extended my arms. Shadow smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist and snuggled his face into my chest. I wrapped my arms around him. I had a feeling that this was what his late husband used to do. And judging by shadow's reaction, he really did used to do that. "you really remind me of him. And i don't mean just your appearance." He said and pulled away from the hug smilling. "i kinda figured by now." I said and chuckled lightly. Shadow smiled and walked into the livingroom. I followed him quietly. He sat down on the couch and faced me. "you should go. i bet that your friends are worried." He said smilling. "i guess. will you be fine?" I asked. Shadow nodded. "i see you later then?" He asked. Then it was my turn to nod. Shadow smiled and waved goodbye to me. I smiled and walked out of the house towards my own.
Shadow's POV
I watched sonic walk away through the window. I sighed and took the photograph that was still on the table. "sonic, honey, you don't mind it that i'm going to try and start over with someone else right?" I said and hugged the photograph to my chest. I sat back down on the couch.
Hours passed by and i spent them laying on the couch watching old movies that were considerate very old and unpopular now. I don't think there would be anyone who would've even heard of these movies even once. I heard a knock on the frontdoor and got up to open the door. "hey, i'm back!" Sonic said and grinned. I smiled and stepped aside. Sonic walked inside and then walked into the livingroom. "you're back." I said and smiled at him when he sat down on my couch. He really feels at home here quickly doesn't he? "of course i am. i promise i would come back right?" He said smilling. "yeah, i guess you did. i wasn't sure if you would come back though." I said and sat down on the couch next to him. "hey, i'm sonic the hedgehog! i would never let anyone down." He said grinning. "of course not." I said smilling. "is that a movie?" He asked looked at the paused tv screen. "yes it is. a very old one. but it was popular when i was young." I answered. This was the first movie i had watched in the cinema's. It was alsot he first movie i had watched with sonic. "when was that?" He asked. "hmmm..." I hummed and counted out how long that was ago. "299 years ago." I finally said as an answer. "you're that old?" He said in amazement. "no, i'm 370 years old. man i'm old." I said and sighed. I never kept track of how old i was because i would always realize how old i truly was. "that's old." he said. "thank you for pointing that out." I mumbled and he apologized quickly after.
Some time passed and we were just watching the movie that i had paused when sonic arrived. Sonic found it a pretty good movie so far. I felt my eye lids becoming heavy. "if you want to sleep then go ahead." He said and pushed my head onto his shoulder. I was a bit surprised. I fell asleep really quickly as soon as i had closed my eyes.
