"Whew! What a hard day!" Rouge The Bat jumped on the couch. She was right: Firstly, she headed to the mall to do some shopping, then she went to Amy. And lastly, they went to the mall together. "Hm, I thought Shadow is home. Might check what's he doing~" With that, Rouge flew upstairs. Opening the hedgehog's room door, she peeked inside. But to her surprise, Shadow wasn't there. The bat was confused at first, but then she smiled. "Ah, I guess he took my advice." She then closed the door and went downstairs. Rouge then had a little snack and unpacked her groceries. When she was done, she took a bath. And lastly, Rouge sat on the couch. She now was bored. "Where is that hedgehog?" The bat thought, as she looked at the window. It was darkening a little. The sky became darker color of blue. "Shadow is sure not the social type." Rouge sat, thinking."That Faker!" Shadow The Hedgehog entered Club. The bat's ears perked, as she heard his voice. Rouge decided to hid behind the couch. "Couldn't he tell me what's wrong?! All he always does is just laugh!" Shadow sighed loudly. "Well, that was foolish of me. Asking for help that blue as-" Shadow suddenly stopped talking, as he heard someone's laugh. He looked at the couch. His irises shrank as he saw who it was. "Oh, sorry that I ruined your little monolog!" Rouge walked from her hiding place, laughing. Shadow completely forgot that Rouge could come back from her walk too. Feeling embarrassed, The black and crimson hedgehog glared at Rouge. "You didn't hear that!" But Rouge giggled." Oh, but I did~" Shadow groaned, crossing his arms. "Anyway, why were you at Sonic's place?~" Rouge asked, tilting her head to the side, her hands on her hips. "It's none of your concern." Shadow replied, rudely. Rouge rolled her eyes. "Aren't you going to ask me how was my day?~" She asked him, hardly ignoring rudeness in his voice. "Not interested." Shadow replied rudely. Rouge sighed heavily. "Of course, what was I thinking. It's always business when it's you." Rouge said, as she crossed her own arms frowning. The hedgehog just snorted in respond. The ivory bat was sad now. She knew Shadow and his character, but she just couldn't stand it. He was always ignoring her. It was like a knife in her heart. But she always kept that feeling or just ignore it. However, this time she couldn't hold it anymore..."Right! Be like that then!" Rouge said loudly enough, for the hedgehog to hear. "I just don't understand why are you so mean to me!" She yelled. Shadow just stood there, his arms crossed, as he was looking away from Rouge. But that statement made him surprised. "See? Even now you are ignoring me!" Rouge pointed out. Shadow groaned, as he faced her. "Maybe you should mind your own business and stop meddling in other people's affairs!" Shadow snapped back. That made statement made Rouge burst into tears. How could he be like that? She just wanted to help him and that's all...Rouge sat on the couch, her face in her hands, as she sobbed. Shadow's expression changed. Was she crying? Shadow never saw her cry and didn't think he ever would. His heart was hurting now. What have he done? He is not monster... But Rouge sobbed more. She was looking at the floor, her hands on her lap now. "I just don't understand you, Shadow..." She began quietly, still sobbing. "I really can't. Maybe I am that stupid. You are mean to me, when I only try to help you. I always feel like my presence like an intrusion..." Shadow kept quiet, as he was looking at the floor himself. "And-and it's like you don't even care about me...It's like I am just a robot that follows you everywhere you go, annoying robot..But you know, I have feelings too. And you want to know how I've felt when I thought you were dead?!" Rouge's voice became more louder. Shadow stood there, trying to follow Rouge's words. It was too much even for him. "...I've felt like my life doesn't make sense anymore! When Sonic said that you didn't make it and gave me your bracelet, it was like all of our moments together just flashed through my eyes and where torn apart. The thought that I'd never see you again was making me feel dizzy and sick. I almost fainted when I heard this. I didn't know what would I do without you...I just wanted to lock in my room and never come out. I remembered every single mission we went on. How you, me and Omega were after Eggman... " Rouge cried harder. She wasn't afraid of her tears now. "And then I found you alive, but badly injured. It was the happiest moment of my life to have you back with us...And-" She couldn't talk anymore. Rouge hugged her knees, as she cried harder. Shadow, on the other hand, was taken aback of this lack of information. What could he do now? He didn't know. His hands were shaking. Shadow looked at Rouge. His heart was tearing apart. Slowly, he walked to the couch were the crying ivory bat was sitting. With his hands shaking, Shadow The Hedgehog hugged her tightly. He couldn't stand her crying. She just didn't deserve his coldness. But that was all his fault, and he clearly knew it. He pulled her closer to him. Rouge's eyes wen wide open. She blushed. "I am sorry." Shadow whispered to her, his hands on her back. "I am really sorry for being so rude and ignorant to you. I am such a fool for being like that." Rouge smiled a bit. "I just don't know what was wrong with me when I snapped and yelled at you. It's really nice of you for letting me stay in your Club, for healing my injures. You was always there for me, despite my complicated character. And do you think I forgot what you've told me?" Shadow asked her quietly. Rouge trembled. "No, I didn't. I can never forget that. You said that you would always remain by my side, Rouge. And I'll remember that.Forever." He finished, blushing. "S-Shadow..." Rouge hugged him back. "Thank you, Rouge The Bat, for everything you've done for me." Shadow almost shed a tear himself. It was such an emotional moment. And his heart didn't hurt now. Instead, there was this warm feeling. He closed his eyes, still holding Rouge in his embrace.
