A Quick PS: The story is in normal POV from now on.
Married: Chapter 1: The wedding part 1
The sun slowly rose high in the sky. Some of it's rays sneaking through the curtains and awakening a certain couple of mobians from their slumber. One of the two sighed in dismay as he was awoken from a rather good dream and moved onto his back. The hedgehog looked up to the digital alarm clock and saw that it was somewhere past 6 in the morning.
Usually, the two of them got up out of bed around this time to get ready for their jobs at the G.U.N headquarters. But today was diffirent. Today was a special day.
The ebony hedgehog turned back to his lover and lightly shook her. "Rouge? It's time to get up." He said when he heard her give a groan. She didn't really like getting up early, but she had to.
"Why do i need to get up? We don't have any missions today." Rouge groaned as she rolled away from her fiance and snuggled up against her pillow.
Shadow chuckled lightly and leant down. He placed a soft kiss on her lips, the loving gesture immediatly returned. He had never felt like this about anyone before. He loved her more than anything in the world. And this day was just for the two of them.
Shadow pulled away from the kiss. Rouge pouted as the kiss ended to soon for her liking.
"Why did you wake me up?" She asked, looking up to him. She was fully awake now. "Are we a little forgetful? It's our wedding today." He said, reminding her of the event that would occur today.
"Our wedding!" The white bat gasped and jumped up from the bed, accidently knocking her lover over. "Oh no! What do i do?!" She said as she stood in the room, franticly trying to come up with an answer as Shadow got up from the bed aswell. He was much calmer than her.
She grabbed her phone as she came up with a possible answer. "That's it! I'll call Amy!" She said and dialed her number of her bridesmaid on her phone, but she didn't get very far as the doorbell downstairs rang.
Both mobians were facing the door and turned to eachother. "I guess she beat you to it." Shadow said and turned his back to her to face the closet. He opened it and looked at the row of clothes that were mostly Rouge's.
He didn't need all that much clothes. Just shoes and gloves were enough for him. Maybe warm clothes for in the winter, but other than that he didn't need all that much.
But today he needed more than that. In fact, he wasn't going to wear his usual attire, except for his inhibitor rings, of course. He needed those on at all times. They used to be annoying as hell in the beginning, but he eventually got used to them. Even got attached to them.
He looked through the closet in search of his suite as Rouge left the bedroom. She was probably going to open the front door and let her friends in.
'I can't find it anywhere! I hope i didn't lost the damn thing.' Shadow thought as he went to his knees and searched a bit deeper in the closet.
His ears twitched as he heard all sorts of voices downstairs. He had expected to hear Amy, since she would go with Rouge to Vanilla's house to help her get ready for the wedding, but he hadn't expected to hear Sonic's and Knuckles' voice.
They were talking about something briefly, but he didn't pay attention. He was to busy trying to find his suit. He hoped he hadn't lost it somehow. Rouge would kill him if he did. 'That will make the saying 'Till death do us part' come much faster then it's supposed to be.' He thought, already getting a bit nervous when he didn't seem to find it.
"Bye honey! See you in church!" Rouge's voice resonated all the way from downstairs. Shadow didn't get the time to answer before the front door was thrown shut.
The hedgehog turned his attention back to the closet. He didn't notice two pair of footsteps walking up the stairs.
"Where is it? Where is it?!" He said a bit frantic as he stood back up and looked back through the row of clothes. He was panicking a bit as he didn't seem to find it.
"Lost your suit already? The wedding hasn't even started." A rather familiar voice said. Shadow jumped upon hearing the unexpected sound and looked over his shoulder.
"Don't make me jump like that, Faker!" He snapped at his rival. He was stressed enough as it is, he really didn't need that Faker to come and make everything worse.
Sonic just chuckled as answer. His friend, Knuckles, just stood there leaning against the wall. A smirk on his muzzle. Both of them were enjoying themselves as they watched the Ultimate Lifeform franticly search for his suit. When he didn't find it in the closet, he resorted to looking elsewhere. But he didn't find it anywhere!
After a while, Sonic thought that enough was enough and decided to help his ebony friend out. He looked to his right and saw a chair that stood in a corner of the room. On the chair was a black suit that was neatly laid out on the chair. It was placed there yesterday so Shadow had an easy time finding it and could get himself dressed quickly.
The cobalt hedgehog took the hanger the suit was hanging on and held it up in front of his rival. "Is this what you're looking for?" He asked with a smirk on his muzzle. "It is! Where did you find it?!" Shadow asked in relief as he took the hanger from Sonic. "On the chair." He answered, referring to the piece of furniture that stood next to him.
"It doesn't matter." The darker mobian said as he felt a bit embarrassed when he had been panicking over his suit while it had been in plain sight this whole time. "Now leave the room! I need to dress up!" He said and pushed the other two mobians out of the room before closing the door after them.
"Why should we leave? If it wasn't for his rings he was as good as naked." Knuckles complained. His cobalt friend chuckled. Sonic knew he was here for the same reason as he was. To see the unusual sight of the normally unfazed Ultimate Lifeform panicking.
Rummaging was heard from behind the door that lead to the bedroom. Sonic and knuckles were waiting in the hallway for Shadow as he got himself ready for the wedding. It didn't take long before the door opened to reveal Shadow wearing the dark suit he had hired for this occasion. He wasn't used wearing clothes like these when it wasn't winter, but he was more than willing to make an exception for today.
Time passed by quicly. To quickly in shadow's oppinion. He was at the church, awaiting the arrival of his fiance. He knew she would soon be here and he was getting more and more nervouse. What if something went wrong? What if he did or said something wrong? The thoughts his mind was plaguing him with weren't encouraging him in the slightest.
The hedgehog was pacing back and forth in the room. His slender form followed by two pair of eyes. Sonic and Knuckles had followed him from his home all the way to this room. The two didn't seem to leave him alone.
"I've never seen him this nervous before." The crimson echidna muttered. He was sitting on a chair, his head propped up on his hand as he leant with his elbow on his knee. "Geez, Shad, take a chill pill will ya? You'll burn a hole through the floor if you keep pacing like that." Sonic said. He was leaning back on a chair next to Knuckles.
"First of all, it's Shadow not Shad or Shadz!" Shadow snapped a bit and turned to the two other mobians, not liking those two nicknames at all. Why use nicknames if you could use someone's full name, after all?
"And second of all, Rouge is not here yet and it's about to start! Not to mention the possibility that something might go wrong." He said and went right back to pacing around the room.
Sonic and Knuckles looked at eachother briefly. There was little they could do to calm their ebony friend down.
Suddenly the door opened. Behind it was a purple chameleon. It was Espio from the Chaotix. Shadow never understood why Rouge was so set on inviting the Chaotix. He and the Chaotix barely knew eachother, but his fiance insisted that all their friends should be invited. It was only because Rouge wanted them present that they were here.
"Rouge is here. It's time." Espio informed them before leaving the room again, probably to join the other guests in the hall.
The cobalt hedgehog and crimson echidna jumped up from their chairs, one grinning from ear to ear while the other smirked. "You hear that? It's show time!" sonic said and stood next to the dark hedgehog. One of his hands coming to rest on his shoulder as if he would try and escape.
Shadow swallowed. This was it. No turning back now. He and Rouge were getting married and both of them had to sit through this long process before it was official.
