Amy awoke from under her sunset themed duvet and stretched out, feeling good about today. She brushed her teeth and got ready whilst listening to a P!nk album. Amy leapt out the door and headed in the direction of the bookstore, glowing with happiness. She arrived early and unlocked the store. She counted the float in the register and waited for a customer. Surprisingly, Shadow was the first customer. He instantly gravitated towards Amy and started talking. To Shadow, Amy was another Maria, without the tragic death of course. They talked until the first customer arrived and then afterwards resumed. After her shift they headed back to her place for lunch.
"So, Rose. How did you decide Sonic wasn't the one?" "Oh, well when I saw him run and fight, I noticed how free he was. I know I could never live as carefree and dangerously as Sonic so, I stopped. I changed my look to."
"Yeah, I noticed."
Shadow and Amy then talked a bit more and Shadow departed, but not before exchanging phone numbers. Once Amy thought Shadow was out of earshot, she fan-girl squealed. Really. Loudly. Shadow heard the squeal though and chuckled, understanding what that squeal meant, she finally got a guy's phone number, for the first time Amy could text a guy, instead of any of her friends.
Amy started writing a chapter in her novel fitting her mood. It had plenty of fluff and lots of happiness, and foot rubs. She saved her story after dinner and went to bed, happy and glad to see Shadow tomorrow.
Shadow also felt similar, he was happy to make Amy happy. He lay in his bed, smirking to himself and replaying the events of today again through his head. He dropped his smirk and, replaced it with concentration. "Wait... Do I LIKE her?" he replayed that question through his head many times before he went to sleep, lets just say, his duvet was damp when he woke up...
Amy woke up much like yesterday, but with a bit of a difference. The first thing she did was get her phone, and text Shadow 'Good morning' with a smile on her face. He texted her back within a few seconds and they instantly made plans with each other for the day. Shadow and Amy both got ready for the day and met up at the park. After locking their doors, they both headed for the park. Amy arrived first, being the closest to the park. Shadow spotted Amy 5 minutes later, but wanted to surprise her. So he climbed a nearby tree and clambered onto the next one. He soon arrived above Amy and sat down, leaning against the trunk.
"Nice weather we're having." he said casually. Amy jumped and looked up. No one was there. She turned her head back, and was met by a pair of bright, blood red eyes. "Jesus Shadow! You nearly scared me half to death!" she exclaimed. "Yeah, I do that. So, hi Amy." "Hi Shado-... Wait... You called me Amy, not Rose!" she exclaimed. "No I didn't!" he said, smirking. "Yes you did!" "Nope!" "Yep!" "No-!" he said, tackling her to the ground. "I didn't!" "Yes you did!" Amy said, booping his nose. They both looked at each other and subconsciously leant in. Their noses touched and awoke them from their trance and they realized what they were doing.
The atmosphere became awkward around them as Shadow slowly got off of Amy and sat down. She got off the ground, brushed herself off and sat next to him. "No I didn't." "Shadow!" "Fine I did! I called you Amy!" he admitted. She giggled at him and he began to blush. "You're blushing!" she pointed out. He felt his cheek heat up even more. "No I'm not..." he replied. She pulled out her phone and took a picture of him. "Yes you are!" she said whilst showing him the picture. "Ughhh, fine..." he said they talked a bit after wards and had a couple of laughs and once they said their goodbyes, Amy gave him a fleeting kiss on the cheek and ran off. Shadow stood there, his hand on his cheek looking in the direction in which Amy ran. Shadow started to walk home, processing what just happened through his brain. He was visibly blushing too. He arrived in front of his grey house with its black roof. He walked up the drive way to his veranda and then proceeded to unlock his door. It turned out to be unlocked and so, he investigated. He slowly opened the door and was surprised to who he found. It was Amy.
"Amy! What are you doing here! How did you find my house?" "The Internet." she replied simply. "Ok." he said, sitting next to her. They sat in silence for a few minutes before Shadow broke it. "Do you want to watch a movie?" he asked. "Sure." she replied They pulled out some movies from Shadow's collection and, in the end, decided on 'Ten-Inch Hero'. Shadow placed it onto the disk tray and got snacks ready while the ads were on. Once Shadow sat down, Amy pressed play and the movie started. During the middle of the movie when some cute things were happening Amy snuggled up against Shadow. She also rubbed the bridge of her nose during more stupid parts. There were some funny bits too that they both laughed at. Once the movie was done, Amy had fallen asleep. Shadow smiled and carried Amy up the stairs to his room. He lay her down on his bed and kissed her forehead before tucking her in and getting himself into the bed too.
The next morning, Amy awoke to seeing Shadow, sleeping in front of her. She tried to remember what happened last night. She was then relieved to spot that her clothes were still on. Shadow started to stir, then he woke up. "Morning Amy!" He said while stretching out his muscles. "Good Morning Shadow." She replied. "So I guess this means we`re going out now?" he asked. "Yeah I guess we are." She said while snuggling up to him and kissing his cheek. "Heh. You missed my lips!" he joked. "Shadow!" Amy exclaimed, pushing him playfully. "What? You did!" he said laughing. Amy rolled her eyes and kissed him again, on his lips. He was surprised at first but leaned into the kiss. Their arms snaked around each other and they fell into a passionate embrace.
They soon fought for dominance as their tongues danced and they held each other tighter. They soon broke apart and looked into their lovers eyes, Jade meeting Ruby. "That was my first kiss." Amy said. "Mine to." Shadow agreed. Amy snuggled into the crook of his neck and closed her eyes. She started to hum 'The Dancing and the Dreaming' which Shadow immediately recognised. Shadow joined in with humming the slow melody and then started to sing. "I'll swim and sail on savage seas, with ne'er a fear of drowning. And gladly ride the waves of life, if you would marry me. No scorching sun nor freezing cold ,Will stop me on my journey. If you will promise me your heart and love me for eternity." He finished off the verse with the queue for Amy to start ."My dearest one, my darling dear, your mighty words astound me, but I`ve no need for mighty deeds when I feel your arms around me!"
The tempo started to kick up a notch and Shadow sang again. "But I would bring you rings of gold, I`d even sing you poetry, And I would keep you from all harm, if you would stay beside me!"
The tempo increased again as Amy started. "I have no use for rings of gold, I care not for your poetry, I only want your hand to hold!" "I only want you near me!" Shadow added. The chorus then came, which both lovers sang." To love and kiss to sweetly hold for the dancing and the dreaming. Through all life's sorrows and delights, I'll keep your love inside me! I'll swim and sail on savage seas, with ne'er a fear of drowning. I'd gladly ride the waves of life if you will marry me~!" both Shadow and Amy kept the note going at the end as long as they could. When both of them ran out of breath they just lay there panting.
"So, would you? Ever?" Shadow asked. "Would I what?" Amy questioned.
"Marry me? In the future or something?" he replied.
"Hmmm. Maybe. If our relationship works out." she answered.
"Okay."
They shared one last kiss before getting out of bed and making breakfast. The day ahead was uneventful, it mostly consisted of telling friends about the fact that they were going out and had sung 'The Dancing and the Dreaming' from How to Train your Dragon 2. As suspected, they were both curious as to why Shadow was her boyfriend, but fan-girled over the singing bit. After a long day of phone calls and talking, Shadow and Amy ate dinner, and went straight to bed to snuggle up and sleep, snug in each other's arms.
