A/N: Alright, another request to get off the table. Knux/Shadow for Onlooker. What can I say? Sometimes I procrastinate super hard and sometimes I just finish it super quick. Hope you enjoy!

He sighed, turning around to face the red echidna. "What?"

"Where is she?"

"Where is who?" Shadow raised a brow, almost interested in his hot-headedness.

"You know exactly who I mean, bat girl!"

"Rouge? Why would you need to know her whereabouts?"

"Why do you think, Mr. Ultimate Lifeform?" The echidna jabbed his hand into Shadow's chest, his violet glare almost matching Shadow's Ruby.

The hedgehog simply lifted a calm hand, pushing Knuckles' hand away from his chest. "I don't see why I need to be involved in such trivial in-betweens."

Knuckles' cheeks seemed to flare up, his glare going wild. "Because-!"

"You look like Rose... You have the capability to be like me, you just need to work on that temper." He crossed his arms, closing his eyes.

"What do you mean? Why would I want to be like you?"

"I'd expect the guardian of the Master Emerald need a cool head. You let off too much power on your friends and there won't be any left for a real fight." The echidna was silent. To which Shadow opened his eyes again, "That's better."

Knuckles grumbled, though he let up on his angry demeanor. Maybe Shadow was right. And maybe... maybe they could actually be friends.

A/N: Here are some important things to note if you're going to request a couple: 1. No archie. I don't read Archie, I don't know the characters, about the furthest I know about 80% of the characters is their name and maybe their affiliation with Sonic and co. Sorry. 2. Don't give me a story line to follow. I hate to be that person, but it's really a loose reign mechanic. The whole point of these drabbles is actually for me to see what I can do with couples that are "outside my comfort zone." I can't really do anything with them if I don't have the free reign to do what I will with it. 3. You can request a "couple" (I use that term loosely because it can be romantic or platonic) even if it's already been done. Just don't be surprised if that's put on my "not so top priority" list. And 4. If you're gonna suggest a couple, leave a name (you would like to be called by in the A/N) or (and I'd prefer this, so I can PM you about it) be logged into an account. Sorry for this long author's note but, I just needed to make these things clear. Hope you all understand.
