Married: Chapter 2: The wedding part 2

The ebony hedgehog stood in front of the altar. His black and red hand fidgeting with the buttons on his sleeve. He hoped he didn't accidently rip a button off. It wasn't that this was rental suit, in fact he had bought it instead of renting it. It was because Rouge would be mighty pissed if they would return home and she were to discover that something as small as even a button was missing. Wedding suits weren't exactly cheap.

There weren't alot of people present. Just their friends. Neither one of the two mobians had any family left, well, Rouge hadn't mentioned any family that she could've invited to their wedding.

Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, Amy, Cream and Cheese, Vanilla, Espio, vector and Charmy were the only one present. Strangely enough even Eggman was there! But other than that little group of theirs, there was no one else there to celebrate this happy occasion.

shadow sighed. He knew he should really stop playing with those buttons, but his nerves were getting to him and he needed something to distract himself with. The buttons were the closest thing to him that he could use.

Sonic nudged him. The dark mobian breathed in and out, he needed to calm down before Rouge walked down the aisle. And Sonic's nudging had showed him that he agreed.

Suddenly music started to play. Everyone turned to the double doors at the other end of the hall. The ebony's heart skipped a beat as he saw the form of his fiance standing in the doorway.

Music began to play as she slowly walked down the aisle. She was wearing a simple white dress that slightly dragged behind her on the floor and a long white transparent veil over her head that ended on her lower back, her face being hidden by it.

Shadow was in awe as she joined him by his side. The two of them were standing in front of the altar, facing eachother as they did. "Dearly beloved..." The human priest began to talk, but neither of them were really listening. They were to lost in eachother's eyes.

The service was coming to an end. The priest was telling his final words. Soon both of the lovers would be bonded as husband and wife.

The ebony's hands reached for the veil and lifted it up, revealing her face. He smiled. He was never known the smile. It wasn't untill he had fallen for her that he had even showed something other than a frown. She had changed him. She had healed him. And he was going to do everything in his power to make it up to her.

"Mr. Robotnik?" The priest said, calling Shadow by the last name he had adopted ever since he was created by the famous professor Gerald Robotnik. Sonic left his spot and showed a small box to his two friends. In it were two golden wedding rings.

Shadow took the ring closest to him and eyed his rival with gratitude. He had been the one to keep their rings safe after Shadow had bought them and despites his immature behaviour at times, the cobalt hedgehog knew how to be responsible. Especially when they were depending on him to keep something important safe.

Shadow held the ring in his right hand and held his lover's hand in the other. "I, Shadow Robotnik, take you, Rouge the bat, to be my wife. I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to honor and respect you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live." He said and slowly moved the ring on her finger.

"Mrs. bat?" The priest said once Shadow was finished. Rouge turned to Sonic and took the remaining ring before turning back to her soon-to-be-husband. Her heart furiously beating in her chest as she held his hand.

"I, Rouge the bat, take you, Shadow Robotnik, to be my husband. I offer you my solemn vow to be your faithful partner in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad, in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise to love you unconditionally, to honor and respect you, and to cherish you for as long as we both shall live." The white female bat said as she gently pushed the ring on his finger.

The priest closed the thick book that laid on the altar. "And with the power invested in me, i now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." He announced. The two love-struck mobians looked at eachother. Shadow placed a hand on her cheek as their faces drew closer and pressed his lips on hers. Rouge returned the kiss, placing her hand on his.

Everyone began to cheer for them as their lips met, sealing their bond and making it official. The two pulled away and smiled at eachother. From today forward they would be husband and wife. They would be sharing their lives together for as long as both would live.

They all stood up from their seats and began to leave. They were going to wait for the couple outside. Rouge and Shadow waited untill everyone had left before walking outside. Rouge had her arm hooked on Shadow's as they walked.

Outside, they were met with some clapping and cheering and the sound of the bells chiming. Flashes were seen as a professional photographer was taking pictures. She was specialised in weddings. She would choose the best ones out of the whole bunch and turn them into a personalised photo album that the happy couple would recieve in the near future.

The beautifull day passed quickly. After the wedding they went to the small banquet hall they had rented for the celebration. Shadow was never the type of person to party, but he was willing to sit through it for Rouge. This day was every girl's dream, right? But even so, he was glad when it was over and the two of them got back home late at night.

Shadow sat down on the bed with a sigh and rubbed against his neck. It had been a busy day today and he was tired. He was planning on dressing out of this suit and get a good night's rest, but his wife had other plans for him.

"Oh, Honey." A feminine voice said. Shadow looked up to the door that connected the bedroom to the bathroom. Rouge was standing the doorway. She wasn't wearing her wedding dress anymore. Instead she wore her sexiest lingerie

"Rouge..." Shadow said a bit speechless. She was leaning against the doorframe in a provocative pose. "You know..." She started. "Usually the newlyweds do one more thing before they fall asleep in eachother's arms." She said and slowly approached the bed, swaying her hips as she walked.

"Oh really?" The ebony said as he watched his wife get closer and closer to him. "Hm-hm. And since you are the only virgin here, i guess i will need to show you." Rouge said as she bend down and wrapped her arms around his neck. She began to place soft kisses on his lips. He was returning them with the same passion.

His hands reached upward and wrapped his arms around her waist. He drew her close as she pushed him down on the bed while also trying to unbutton his white shirt.
