I'm just a slave: chapter 9

Sonic's POV

I couldn't believe what he had just said. This girl couldn't become my wife. We had a deal that they wouldn't arrange my marriage. I can't believe this! "no way! you promised me that i could choose whoever i could marry!" I yelled enraged. "sonic, keep your voice down." My mom said and got up from her seat at the table. "no! i'm not going to keep my voice down! i can't believe you aren't keeping the single promise that you made with me! i can't believe it!" I yelled furiously and walked out of the room.

I knocked once again on the door of shadow's room, but recieved no reply. "shadow?" I asked with a clear worried tone and opened the door. I peeked inside that he had fallen asleep. I smiled and sat back down at the chair i had previously been sitting on before i got interupted. I held his right hand with my own two hands again and sat there in silence. Before i knew it i had fallen asleep.

Shadow's POV

The next morning i woke up with a heavy soreness and numbed pain everywhere in my body. I groaned and opened my eyes. "good morning, shadow. the mistress had requested me to bring you breakfast since you can't get out of bed yourself." A maid said and helped me sit up. It was then that i noticed a warm presence leaving my right hand. I looked at my right and saw sonic sleeping with his head laying on the matress. The maid followed my gaze to the hedgehog before returning her gaze to me and putting the plate on my lap. "he's been here all night you know." The maid said and smiled. "he has?" I asked in wonder. "yes. he must be quite worried about you." The maid giggled and left the room after saying a quick goodbye and a small promise that she would be back for the empty plate. "you've really been here all night for me?" I asked in a whisper and looked at him. He was sleeping peacefully, so i didn't expect him to answer. Although, i would rather have wanted that he would.

I sighed. "what would your mother say about this?" I asked and laid a hand on top of his head to softly stroke his quills, although i had no idea why i suddenly got the itch to do that. I was really gratefull. Not only had he saved my life, but he had also stayed by my side the whole night even though there was no reason for him to do that. I didn't want him to do it, but i was very gratefull he did anyway. I just hoped that he wouldn't be scolded again. Cause that would be a second time he would be scolded because of me. And i wouldn't want that. I don't want him to suffer from something i caused. It just didn't seem fair. I would rather have that old hag and her husband scold me and hit me all they want instead of scolding sonic. He was just an innocent bystander in all of this. An innocent bystander who happened to save me for no reason. After all, i was just a mere slave. I didn't matter as much as sonic did. Would we be walking on the street and someone would hit me, then nobody would care. Nobody would even as much as glance at me. But if someone would hit sonic, then that person would be sued by his parents. Sonic really was hopeless

I sighed and laid back down after finishing my breakfast. I glanced back at the sleeping hedgehog next to me. I was contemplating on weither to wake him up or let him continue his sleep. Luckily for me, i didn't have to wake him up because he was awakening himself. "good morning, master." I said and watched him sit up. "good morning." He said and grinned a little tired. I was thinking about asking him why he had stayed here all night instead of going to sleep, but decided against it. "did you sleep well, ma-" I couldn't finish my sentence as he cut me off. "you don't have to call me master. call me whatever you want." He said and sat up straight. "really?" I asked in wonder. "yes really." Sonic said and smiled. "okay then, master." I said, only to have him facepalm with the bed.
