Very Sweet ShadAmy Oneshot, a sonic the hedgehog fanfic

Amy Rose cheerfully hums to herself as she moves quickly around her kitchen. Scattered upon the counter tops are a vast amount of bowls, wooden spoons, and various baking ingredients. As she pushes another messy bowl aside, a wooden spoon falls to her kitchen floor. Amy doesn't notice as she quickly rushes to the oven wearing pink oven mits. She peers into the oven to check on her cookies, but they aren't finished just yet.

Amy had always been a kind hedgehog, and when she heard that Cream's mother Vanilla was holding a charity event, she had graciously volunteered her baking skills to aid. Despite usually spending her time chasing her blue hero around, she actually enjoyed time to herself, especially when baking.

Amy moves back over to the counter and picks up an icing pipe that she has been using to decorate batches of cookies and cupcakes. One by one, she carefully starts to decorate drawing simple but cute designs on a tray of cupcakes she had taken out of the oven not too long ago. She keeps humming to herself.

'I hope everyone will like them', she thinks to herself with a soft smile on her lips. 'Maybe even Sonic might come...and he'll love my cupcakes so much that he'll ask me to marry him!' She naively adds to herself.

She finally reaches her last cupcake to decorate when suddenly there is a loud knock at her front door. It startles her, and she squeezes the icing pipe too hard; the cupcake becomes covered in a mountain of icing. Her eyes widen as she looks at her once perfect cupcake. She angrily places the icing pipe down and grabs a tea towel to wipe her hands. While she is doing so, the impatient knocker knocks on the door again, this time even louder than before.

"I heard you!" Amy yells, clearly irritated.

She puts the tea towel down and almost jogs to her front door.

"This better be really important or else someone," she slowly opens the front door as she continues. "Is going to eat my hammer - oh. Shadow?"

Her eyes go wide as she sees Shadow standing with his arms crossed.

"I'd like to see you try." He mutters, unimpressed.

Amy rolls her eyes and moves a hand to her hip.

"Is that a challenge, Shadow? Cause I'll have you know I can be very strong with my hammer." Amy responds, her hand still on her hip.

Shadow chuckles and suppresses a laugh. Amy's temper gets higher, and she quickly reaches her hand out as her hammer appears.

"That's it," She exclaims as she swings her hammer to try and hit the ebony hedgehog. However, Shadow is too fast. He catches the hammer mid swing, which causes Amy's eyes to widen.

Shadow leans forward slightly so his chest is pressed against her hammer, and his face is lingering closely to hers.

"As cute as you may be Rose, I don't have time to play with you," Shadow mumbles. "I'm simply here to because your original messenger cannot be trusted."

Amy's cheeks get hot as she watches Shadow's movements.

"Can't be trusted...?" She repeats, confused.

"Yes," Shadow quickly replies. "Due to unforeseen circumstances, Vanilla sents her regrets that the event has been cancelled." He adds, still holding her hammer.

"Oh," Amy mumbles. The blush on her cheeks get brighter as she realises the hammer is still between them. She immediately realises the misunderstanding, and the hammer disappears.

Shadow removes his hand from mid-air after the hammer is gone, and he leans back casually, ignoring how close they had been.

"By the surprised look on your face, your original messenger did not get the news to you." Shadow added, his gaze peering past Amy to the messy kitchen.

Amy blushes more in embarrassment as she notices Shadow's gaze.

"Well, uh... I'm sure there's a good explanation... like maybe he got busy... or maybe eggman stopped him... and uh..." Amy began to ramble excuses for her blue hero. He wouldn't have forgotten about her... right?

"Hmph," Shadow didn't sound very impressed by the excuses. "Excuse me, I have a blue hedgehog to punch." He adds before attempting to turn and walk away.

Amy grabs his arm quickly.

"Wait! S-Sonic's really busy," She stammers. "He probably ran into trouble... or he just forgot, that's all."

"Forgot about you?" Shadow questions, raising one of his eyebrows as he faces Amy again.

Amy's cheeks warm in embarrassment.

"Well - I'm sure he didn't forget about me... he probably just... I forgot the event was cancelled..." Amy stammers over her own words, trying to defend Sonic's behaviour.

"Hmph. Whatever you say, Rose. Now unhand me." Shadow demands.

Amy almost forgot she was holding Shadow's arm, so as she pulled away very quickly, her gazed moved away from his too embarrassed to keep eye contact.

Shadow does notice the slight pink on Amy's cheeks, and he can not help but smirk.

"You have something on your face."

"Huh?"

Amy quickly lifts her hand to her cheek and tries to wipe whatever it is off. Shadow chuckles, and he steps closer to her, grabs her hand tightly. Before Amy can even stop him, he leans even closer and slowly licks over Amy's other cheek. She gasps quietly and stares wide-eyed at Shadow as he pulls back.

"Very sweet." He mumbles.

Amy's cheeks bright up lighter than a Christmas tree, and Shadow smirks at her.

"I best be going now... As I said, I don't have time to play with you today." He says as he steps back. "Maybe next time." He adds with a smirk before turning away.

Amy was so tongue-tied she couldn't bring herself to say words as she watched Shadow turn around and start speeding away. Amy blinked a few times, wondering if what happened was real or whether she'd accidentally fallen asleep whilst baking.

Suddenly, an alarm starts blaring loudly from her kitchen.

"Oh no, my cookies!" Amy exclaims, rushing back to the kitchen.
