Ok, are you still doing Sonamy prompts? 'cause if you are, here's a 'silly' one: Remember how you said you wanted to do an actual GOOD SonamyShad love triangle? Ok. Now, have you heard 'Satisfied' from the Hamilton musical? There, see. Eliza is Amy, but if you want to, you can switch Sonic and Shadow for Alexander or Angelica, you can make Shadow the outcast or you can do a platonic/romantic Sonamy where he is the outcast! (not sonadow) IDK, I just love the feels. :') You're the best!

Yeah, I love that musical! I see Amy as Eliza a lot actually xD But I usually ship Sonamyshad as Sonic and Shadow having feelings for Amy. / sorry if that wasn't clear! Anyway, taking inspiration from it, here you are!
Prompt:
The drink in his hand wasn't much of a calming substance.
Long ago, Shadow had begun to feel… stirrings… for Amy, but such things were 'disagreeable' with him and his lifestyle. Instead, he kept it bottled up. Didn't say much about how she made him feel during the time they all did missions together to put an end to a foreign enemy, nor the fact that he had chosen to partner up with her during that time instead of Rouge.
Rouge was the first to pick up a strange 'attachment'—so to speak— coming from him when it came to Amy Rose. He was quick to interject when roles and aids were being called out, and always strongly enforced that he and Amy were a good balance of brawn and wit.
It was beginning to get controlling though, and although Amy never suspected anything, Sonic's presence in her life was overwhelming to Shadow… he began to get eerily jealous of Amy's admiration for him. He became more persistent in being with her, and even went so far as to drive a wedge between the two by keeping Amy away from Sonic…
However, these attempts failed.
Amy was always seeking out Sonic, never realizing Shadow's harbored feelings, and soon…
Well, the wedding was a surprise.
Shadow clanked the glass down hard on the table, tsk'ing as the merry crowd gathered and cheered at some joke Sonic had said.
Although he respected Sonic… he didn't owe him any favors.
He quickly gorged in one fatal gulp the rest of the drink, wiping his mouth and prepared to leave with a scowl on his face.
"Hmm?" Rouge, fancied up, moved slightly from Knuckles's embrace to cock her eyebrow up at his obvious upset exit. "Leaving so soon?"
He only grunted in a sigh.
His eyes narrowed, not liking her eyes on his back, before…
"Alright, alright, alright! Let's hear it for the lovely couple! And now, a toast!"
A toast?
Shadow stopped a moment, pivoting his head slightly to the side, but not fully looking back just yet. "Odd.." he didn't think they would start without-
"And here's the lovely bride now!"
Shadow couldn't help it. All he needed was to watch a piece of fabric fly by the corner of his eye for the temptation to be too great and turn around to look at her.
He was stunned from head to toe, unable to look away and unable to close his mouth.
The longing to have Sonic never exist grew again… and jealousy turned to envy instantly.
She was beautiful.
Then, Sonic all but disappeared.
So did the party.
The guests.
The tables and it's over-glorified food and beverages.
He found himself walking after her as if daydreaming, moving parallel but out of sight behind the crowd as he watched her through the slits of their bodies all tightly together in a line to welcome her.
"To the Groom!" To the groom… the groom…
"To the bride!" To the bride… to the lovely bride…
"To their future!" Amy…
"To their union!" To this revelation.
"And the hope that you'll provide!" This can't be happening…
Shadow stopped walking as the sides of his face pulled down in utter anguish.
Had he fallen so deeply into this… this fascination with her that he couldn't even snap himself out of the trance she had on him? Could he really just not walk away? But watch this act be done?
His fists clenched along with his jaw… jagged in a line upon his teeth were the full bearings of his fangs.
"He doesn't deserve her…" It was so faint, so completely drowned out by the crowd, that not even his own ears could pick up his muttered betrayal.
But someone did see his mouth move.
"Shadow?" Amy turned to look straight through the crowd, lifting a gentle and angelic hand towards him.
"Oh?" The crowd turned, as the announcer from before gestured to Shadow. "Do you have anything to say?"
"…Simply…" he held his head high, realizing he had to now.
Looking at Amy's eyes… seeing her concern in them…
Did she know?
"…That you always… be satisfied."
She smiled.
Rewind. "Chaos…" he slowly pulled the Chaos Emerald out, hurriedly walking back and away from everyone, heading outside.
"Control."
"I remember that night… I just might regret that night for the rest of my days…" Shadow moved through the forest, seeing a weary Amy, struggling to breathe, crawling towards the only safety she could perceive.
He watched her, knowing exactly what he did and responded to her with… and thinking maybe history could repeat itself in a different way this time.
He approached her.
"S..Sonic?"
He felt a twinge of pain.
His face scrunched up, but he lowered himself down as her face moved up to get a better look at him.
"Are you alright?" He was following the script, not sure when to change it.
There's eyes remained locked as long as Amy could muster them before she collapsed and he picked her up.
"Here." He gave her something to drink as she gulped it down, hitting her chest a moment as she coughed up smoke.
"Explosion." She explained with a weak voice. "Thank you… Shadow."
"Rest. You need it." He moved the drink away from her and as he did so, lightly brushed his fingers over her hair.
She didn't notice.
She never did.
It was so secretive, the slight pleasure he obtained from those 'slide-of-hands' he all but perfected over the course of time they spent together… but now…
She coughed again, "I'm so lucky you found me…"
He didn't respond, just helped lift her up more so she could breathe…. Then… leaned her back against his own as he rested upon a stump.
"A pity your hero didn't find you." Shadow retorted to, at last, going by his old words, but they held new meaning now.
It wasn't a silly taunt anymore.
It held so much… more now.
"Hmph. You're just like me then. I'm never satisfied with my rescues either."
That triggered something in him, a sudden urge to lean down and claim her his right then and there. A kiss… forbidden and deadly… but could it change fate?
"There's still a million things I want me and Sonic to accomplish." She smiled, that same… unyielding smile of total and pure joy.
How could she be so content? With a boyfriend like him!?
Shadow turned away, tsk'ing again, as Amy giggled.
"But just you wait." She retorted, looking down and away from straight up into his face. She lightly stroked Shadow's hands around her waist… "I'll make that Sonic respect me."
I already respect you.
Shadow looked away, fighting the urge to pull her up further and take hold of her mouth and never give her time to breathe again.
But what good would that do? The second she caught hold of fresh air again, she would run back to her Sonic. Nothing he could do could change that.
The conversation lasted two, maybe three minutes… but it was in that moment that Shadow began to feel something for Amy.
They both played games of wit on their missions. They enjoyed the other's company. She even got him to smile on more than one occasion.
What did she see in that blue menace?
Then again… currently speaking, with Shadow's feelings and all, he was the true menace to her 'happily ever after'…
"Do you ever wonder what would happen if Sonic wasn't the one you end up with?"
She fidgeted, sweating a little in his arms as she didn't speak.
She was flying off of hope, and nothing more.
Beautiful… and boy, did she know it.
She played innocent and cute so well… but he saw sides of her that he was sure even Sonic didn't get a chance to see.
He wanted to take her far away from here, far into his arms and into a void where neither of them could escape from. A place where no 'Sonic' existed… but then he looked down to her face, hearing only silence, and watched in humiliating shock with her eyes light up.
"I'm just helpless, you know?"
And truly, he knew she was-
"Helpless?"
Her eyes simply screamed-
"Helplessly devoted to him~" she swooned, melting into Shadow's arms with sighs as his own twitched and shook uncontrollably.
It didn't matter. Nothing he did would ever matter to her more than Sonic. More than her own diluted feelings for him.
Then Sonic came.
"Woah! Amy! I finally found you!"
Shadow glared up at him, spooking Sonic slightly as Amy's face lit up with smitten grandeur at his arrival.
"Sonic!"
"Miss me?"
"Aways!" she coughed then but tried to move out of his grasp.
"..Shadow?"
Shadow continued to hold her.
He closed his eyes, 'That's when I realized… three fundamental truths at the exact same time.'
He handed her off to Sonic, who played the charming rescuer even though Shadow did all the work of helping her stay alive.
"I was worried about'cha. You gave everyone quite a scare, Amy." He smiled warmly down to her, so friendly and full of hidden love she wouldn't discover until another few years.
"Hehe, worried? Scared? Oh, Sonic!" she wrapped her strong arms around his neck, being careful to be gentle. Something… Shadow knew because she replicated it when he held her through missions as well.
Sonic held her bridal style, the exact same way he did.
So why was it different?
Shadow turned away, fists turning white as the gloves over them before he folded his arms and took a deep breath, turning away from the 'happy' couple.
"I miss you all the time! Why can't you understand that?" she sighed, but Shadow knew from the tone of her voice that she was only playing.
He knew her.
Every gesture and mannerism…
But he wanted so much more than knowledge…
He gritted his teeth again, stifling any noise of aggravation he may make towards them.
Shadow reminded himself that Amy was his first love, that he was an abomination made on the Space Colony Ark, and that was why he let Sonic take her away that day.
Nice going, she was right.
He turned to the two.
He will never be satisfied.
He walked over to them, "What are you doing?" Sonic asked.
Shadow turned him around, "I'm about to change your life." He stated and gave Sonic a little 'nudge' so to speak, "Go take Amy around the lake. Try and be somewhat chivalrous and give her a good time."
"W-what!?" Sonic's face lost it's 'cool attitude' and suddenly was in shambles as Amy blushed and looked surprised back at Shadow.
He faked his smile and walked away from the two. "My only job in this life is to protect humanity and let them live out there dreams. So maybe that is why…" He pulled out his chaos emerald.
"I let Amy have her dream…" he was plenty far enough away for Amy and stubborn Sonic with his nose up in the air to avoid Amy seeing any further expression of his embarrassment on his face, although totally applying what Shadow said and giving her a night to remember… one that left Shadow without any chance to climb—but then again— he already knew he had lost.
"Even if she's clueless." He smirked, holding the emerald out, "That doesn't mean… I want her any less."
He teleported through time back to Amy and Sonic's wedding, folding his arms as he watched her walk down the isle, Sonic sweating buckets and having to be fanned by Tails's twin tails just to stay calm and not overheat from anxiety.
Cold feet?
Shadow snickered, before looking away, leaning on the door and not looking back.
"I'd have to be naïve to set her feelings aside,.. it's just another reason why I-" he gripped his head, suddenly feeling the rush of sorrow crash inside himself. "Maybe that's why…" he started to feel a migraine the size of a walnut in his head, only growing bigger as he turned fully away from the scene and covered his face, trying to get some air.
"I gave her to Sonic… Now that's her groom."
He looked up through his fingers, glaring.
"Thank you for all the help you've done, Shadow." Amy's eyes beamed with praise.
He looked down at her hand…
"If it takes fighting a war to be with you…" he grabbed it, dropping down to one knee and surprising her, seeing her blink fast as he kissed her hand. "Then it was worth it."
Sonic later bent to one knee… shocking her even more… frustrating Shadow even more…
Shadow walked out of the church, "I'll leave you to it." He lifted a hand up, dismissing the happy couple, letting Sonic win over himself.
Who was he kidding… Sonic had him beat before Amy even knew of his existence.
Three….
He knew Amy like he knew his own mind by now.
Sonic came out later, basking a minute in the moonlight before Shadow approached him.
"Shadow?" he straightened himself up, seeing Shadow's demeanor looked off.
"What's up? The food not good enough for ya? Hehee." He smiled obviously, as Shadow took a deep breath to calm his rage, and then looked up within the shadows of the darkened trees towards him.
"Take care of her Sonic… you'll never find anyone as trusting or as kind as Amy Rose…"
"Uhh… I think you mean, Miss The Hedgehog." Sonic raised an eyebrow. Just as oblivious as her…
Shadow rolled his eyes.
Even he didn't fully realize Shadow's feelings for Amy.
He wondered… if he had told Sonic of his feelings… would he have been silently resigned? Would she have been his? Or would he have been lying about being indifferent to it all?
Either way…
If Shadow had succeeded in driving a big enough rift between them, she would have acted content and fine, but she'd obviously be lying as well.
Shadow left then… But deep in the night, when he dreamed or fantasized… It was always her eyes, Maria's words in her mouth, as she would lean her back against his chest just like that first night… looking up at him…
Even if she never loved him…
At least he kept her eyes in his life…
But he'd never be satisfied.a simple- "Weeeee!" one out of them all!~
