x*The Mini Adventures of Shadow and Amy*x

-Chapter 16: Just One Kiss?-

They were round.

They looked smooth to the touch.

And boy, were they glossy!

Shadow sighed inwardly, to keep himself in check and not do something crazy. Amy sat next to him, talking away as she usually did. This time, she was telling him about a girls' outing she had before he came over. Apparently...there was a lot of details.

"...but y'know. I think Rouge might be hiding something from us. I just have a feeling. I mean, she's been extra with her little 'flirtatious' games with Knuckles lately..." and the story goes on.

All the ebony male's eyes could focus on were her lips. The talking she so loved to do actually brought more attention upon them, so he wasn't at a total fault for looking. He took notice that they were glossier than usual – she probably bathed them in that substance she calls 'lip gloss'. The glossiness made them look very smooth and helped define their round, plump shape. They looked perfect in every way. Oh, he wanted so bad to just maybe...lean in and-

"Shadow?"

"Huh?" he was startled out of his daze and met her eyes.

She tilted her head, "Is there a reason why you're staring…?"

"...No."

When she bit her lip, he wanted to strangle her right then and there, "Are you sure?"

"...Positive."

"Well, it seemed you were staring pretty hard at something on my face. Am I that pretty?" she asked, giggling. She now graced a small smile, and the urge to...kiss her increased in the ebony male. She was on to him. Though, he had been staring a little too hard...

"...Yes." Shadow said, answering her question. He didn't how much longer he could hold up.

Amy giggled again, "Why, thank you! You don't look too bad yourself." she said, jokingly, softly punching his shoulder.

"Yea, sure..." he mumbled. You're asking for it, girl...

"Aww, you're not that bad to look at." the pink female encouraged, "Is that what's bothering you so much?"

"Nope. I'm perfectly fine." And ready to pounce, just keep on messing with me...

"If you say so." she trailed off, and looked away. The ebony male was preparing himself for a moment to strike. In his defense, she brought this upon herself.

"I've never lied to you, Rose."

"True, but you just look like you have something on your mind," your face, "But, if you say there's nothing wrong, I guess I'll just- aah!" Amy let out a gasp as Shadow had tackled her, having her underneath him on the couch. He stared down at her intensely, a fire burning in his eyes.

"You little minx..." he spoke slowly, glaring at her.

The pink female stared up at him with wide eyes, "What did I do?" she asked, her mouth forming the perfect 'o' shape at the end. He snarled at her and got really close to her face.

"You know what you're doing, don't you."

"Whatever do you mean?" she giggled, once again, the perfect little 'o' formed. The girl even bit her lip again. Oh, she was such a tease…

"..." Shadow said nothing. He couldn't hurt her for teasing, oh, but he wanted to. His glare softened, but he was still aware that she had figured out what he was doing. Amy tried sitting up a little, her eyes sparkling with mischief.

"I knew there was something wrong!" she chirped in triumph.

"...No, there isn't." he said, backing off and looking away. He had the chance, and by Chaos, he wanted to. Amy couldn't help but have a fit of giggles. Her playing her little 'games', much like a certain person they knew, but she just loved messing with him!

"So, I take it you don't want me to kiss you?" she said slyly, averting her gaze to the far end of the couch, but still watching him out the corner of her eye. She held a pout and this infuriated Shadow more.

"...If you know what I want, why tease me?" he asked, almost growling. He glared when she giggled, but was startled when she poked his nose.

"You're so cute when you adore me," she smiled, "I mean, you were staring last week when we went on our date. And ever since then, that's all you do! Not that I don't appreciate you adoring me, it's just...why won't you- mmph."

Shadow had leaned in to close the gap between them and planted his lips on hers. A simple way to shut her up, and to answer her question. He could get use to doing this too. The kiss itself was fairly chaste, and both leaned into it...although Shadow had to restrain himself from indulging further to punish her and pulled away. That will teach to not tease him next time...

The gloss had a flavor as well, he quickly noted.

She pouted and blushed. Surprisingly, Shadow could only smirk, "Why won't I just kiss you?" he mocked, finishing her sentence.

Her blush grew, "Yeah...that's what I was gonna say." the pink female curled in on herself to hide her smile. Biting her lip, she quickly pecked his lips once more and ran away. He glared after her, and chuckled to himself. Who knew little Amy Rose was such a flirt?

Satisfying? Yay or nay? Could've gone better, perhaps? Well, I kinda like it myself. ;) Until next time… -D.A.K
