Not alone anymore: chapter 7

Sonic's POV

What was that all about? I tried to find him for answer and instead i got more question. And......did he really call me handsome? I wonder why, but it somehow felt like i was used to it. "you're not bad yourself, beautifull." I heard a voice say in my head. And an image of shadow smilling passed in my head. The voice sounded like my own again. And there was something strange about that image from shadow i got. He was stroking a belly that was pretty round. Was he....pregnant? I had decided not to think about it anymore.

I wanted to walk home till i saw something laying on the ground. Maybe it belonged to shadow. I walked up to it and picked it up. It looked like a small very old usb-stick. It couldn't be of much imprtance now since it wouldn't work on any computers now. I walked in the same direction shadow had walked to and hoepd i would find him soon. I had no idea where he lived so i had a feeling i would be having trouble.

I was walking for a while and i still had no idea where he lived. Till i saw a very old house. "is this it?" I asked myself and walked towards it. I was about to knock when the dor opened. Shadow was behind it. He was smilling at me and he had that look in his eyes that told me that he knew that i would come. "you came." He said and smiled. "yes i did. you planned this?" I wondered. His smile widened a little and that immediatly answered my question. "you did, didn't you?" I said and walked inside when shadow stepped aside and gestured me to come inside.

I walked into his livingroom and looked around. It was so familiar and old. I kep tlooking around till my gaze stopped on a photoframe that was laying back upwards. I wondered why. "i'll get you something to drink." He said and walked into the kitchen. I watched him go. I decided to look what the photograph was. I looked at it and saw that it was empty. "i removed the photograph from the frame and put them in a photo album." Shadow said and held a soda can in front of me. My favorite brand. How did he know? I took it and started to drink it. "why did you remove it?" I asked in curiousity. "i don't know. i guess i removed it because it hurted to see it." He said and smiled sadly at me. "but it doesn't hurt anymore." He said and kept smilling. He sat down and patted besides him. I walked towards the couch and sat down next to him.

Time passed by rather quick. I didn't know that i could be having fun so much by just being with him and talking to him. he had made me lunch and dinner and surprisingly he cooked really well. And he even said that it had been years since he had made something to eat for someone else. He must not have alot of visitors then.

It was evening now. Shadow was really comfortable around me. he had fallen asleep with his head leant against my shoulder. he was smilling so peacefully. That made me smile aswell. I picked him up and walked upstairs in search for his bedroom. I found it and walked inside it. I laid shadow down softly on it and removed his shoes. I then covered him with his blanket. I was about to leave till something caught my attention in the corner of my eyes. What it was surprised me alot. it was a photograph. And not just any photograph. It was a photograph of me. How is this possible? He and i have never met before......or that's what i think atleast. But what was strange about it was the fact that i looked a few years older in this. I needed to think about this. So i had decided to go home. Till something, or rather, someone grabbed my hand. "sonikku? are you leaving already, honey? it's still early, you need your rest." Shadow said. He was still half asleep. So i didn't know if he was talking to me or the sonic in that picture. I had decided to play along to maybe get some answers to my question. "no i'm not, i just wasn't sleeping very well." I said and smilled sheepishly at him. "lay back down, honey, you need to sleep." He smiled lovingly and pulled me back towards the bed. His head dropped down on his pillow and he smiled when i removed my shoes and joined him. He was still sleeping, wasn't he?

As soon as i laid on my back he snuggled closer to me. He wrapped a warm around my waist and laid his head on my chest. "i love you, honey." He said smilling and fell asleep completely again. I guess there was no way of escaping now. Why did he behave like that. And why did he keep calling me 'honey'.

When i kept asking myself all these question, which i had totally no answer for, i hadn't noticed how tired i felt all of a sudden. I soon fell asleep aswell. Unconciously i had laid a hand on shadow's head.

The next morning i woke up to find shadow looking at me. "i'm sorry. i thought that i was still dreaming last night." He said and frowned sadly at me. He looked so sad. Did he want to wake up next to the sonic that was on the photograph? Shadow got up from the bed and walked out of the room with his gaze down. Was he that unhappy waking up next to me?
