Me: Quick little note, sorry if Shadow seems OOC, I needed him to act a certain way for this story to work… plus since he has friends now, I think he wouldn't be all "Doom and Gloom" anymore.
Sonic: Inuyashas-grrl97 does not own any of the Sonic characters!
Shadow: Please review!
Chapter 5: The Confession
Shadows POV
We stopped, put the game on pause, and sneaked up to the door of Rouges room to eavesdrop. We heard Rouge ask "So what's up you and Shadow?" "N-N-Nothing, really!" said Amy, I'm guessing. "Well you like him, right?" asked Cream (You can't mistake her voice, because of how high pitched it is!). Amy responded in a quiet voice "Well… yeah…" My heart skipped a beat and I stared at the door in disbelief. See, I have been in love with Amy for about 2 years. When I first realized that I loved her, sometime after the ARK incident, I had no idea how to handle those kinds of feelings. So I went to the first person that came to mind, Sonic, for help. The first thing he did to help was to ask me to officially join the team. When I accepted, he called every team member over to his hose to inform everyone. Amy immediately wanted to throw a party to celebrate, which is when we first started becoming really close friends. Since then, Amy and I grew closer over the past 2 years, and I had thought that we would never be able to cross the "Best Friends" barrier. We all tried to quietly sneak back downstairs, when Tails knocked a vase over with one of his tails. We froze, and looked at each in fear, as we heard the girls start to talk again. "Did you hear that?" "Yeah…" "OH NO! THE GUYS!" "AAHHHHHH!" we yelled, and began to sprint down the stairs, when I remembered, I had to talk to Amy. On the way back up, I ran into Rouge, who asked me "How much did you hear?""ALL of it." I admitted. She nodded, and told me "if you ever hurt her, your dead hedgehog!" She then put her angry face on, and tore down the stairs, with the rest of the girls trailing after her, except Amy of course. I walked into the room to see Amy crying in the floor, murmuring to herself "It's all over now. He probably hates me." I ran over to her and hugged her. She cried into my shoulder "I'm so sorry Shadow! I've screwed everything up, haven't I?" I quickly responded "NO! Amy, you've just made everything perfect!" "W-What do y-you mean?" she hiccupped. "I-I-I LOVE YOU AMY!" I yelled. She looked at me with a shocked look on her face. "R-Really?" I smiled at her and nodded. She stood up and flung herself into my arms. "I love you too Shadow!" we got up and walked downstairs hand-in-hand. Once we stepped into the living room, we were met with shouts of "It's about time!", "Finally!", and "Wait, wait, how many of you knew about this?" from Knuckles. Since it was Movie night, we all settled in on the random cushions spread around the room, with Amy sitting on my lap. The girls chose to watch "Legally Blonde". Halfway through the movie, Amy fell asleep. I said goodnight to everyone and headed upstairs to tuck her into bed. On the way up, she nuzzled her head into my chest (you know, that little white tuft on my chest that I find annoying as HELL!) and murmured my name. I smiled as I pulled that blankets up around her and said "Goodnight my beautiful Rose."
Authors note: It's not over yet! There is still more to come...unfortunately, I have written up to chapter 12, but I have only typed up to chapter 5. . And sorry this chapter was so short! I promise the next one will be longer!
