Sonadow (Fanfic)(Yaoi)

Unexpected Attraction

Chapter One

I don't really know what makes him so dang dreamy… With the way he treats me and others sometimes, I don't know why the heck I even want him… but I do. That ebony hedgehog stole my heart the minute I met him. I don't think he feels the same way about me, though, and that's why I've never even come close to acting like I love him. Should I tell him soon? Should I tell him at all? My conscience says yes. My heart says yes. My brain says yes. My body says yes, but… I'm still not sure.

We defeated Dr. Eggman earlier today and stopped him from messing up the past. He had stopped my birthday party, but after we had defeated him, we were dropped right back there. Originally, Shadow hadn't shown up to my party, but he appeared back with us when we arrived back. Rouge had somehow convinced him to stay, and he half seemed to want to. Maybe his feelings toward me were changing. I had absolutely no clue. He and I barely talked during the party, and afterwards, when we had all gone to my and Tails' house, we didn't talk, either.

Luck would have it that Shadow and I happen to be the last people at the house. Tails had left for an errand, and everyone else had gone home. Whether that luck is good or bad remains to be seen, but I can't help but think this is my chance. I need to tell him how I feel, because otherwise, I may not get another chance…

"Sooooo…" I say after a couple minutes of silence. "Shadow, even you have to admit that I did awesome today." The black hedgehog sitting next to me on the couch shrugs his shoulders and closes his eyes for half a second.

"I guess so, faker. I must admit that I wouldn't measure up to two Sonics. One, yes, but two is a bit much." Wait, did he actually admit that I did a good job? That's not like him… at all. It usually takes a lot more than me to convince him that I did a good job.

I raise an eyebrow at his odd behavior and ask, "You okay, Shadz? You do realize that you just complimented me, right? Are you sick or something?" He chuckles at my question.

"Don't be stupid, blue boy. I'm the Ultimate Lifeform. I cannot get ill. I figured that, after all this time, you finally deserve at least some kind of praise from me." He pauses for a quick moment before continuing, "Do you want to know something interesting, Sonic? Not only is it your birthday today, but mine as well. Due to my suspended animation on Prison Island, I happen to turn sixteen today."

It's Shadow's birthday? Huh… I never knew. "Whoa! Well then, happy b-day, Shadzy!" Oh, God! Did I just call him Shadzy out loud? Crap! I cover my mouth, but he just chuckles.

"Shadzy, huh? Well, that's an interesting nickname. When did you come up with that name, and why, pray tell?" Well, this is sure an awkward moment… I have absolutely no idea what to say without risking rejection right here and now.

"N-no reason in particular…" I reply nervously.

He sighs and shakes his head. "Now, why would you lie to me, Sonic, if you obviously love me so much?"

Ho. Ly. Crap! He knows? I start sweating out of nervousness. I don't even know how he knows. That was the only thing I ever did to even slightly show that I like him. "U-u-um… I-I-I… I… I-I…"

He puts a gloved finger up to my mouth to shush me and says, "At a loss for words, are we? Don't worry. With what I'm about to do, you won't need to speak." He lifts his finger off my lips, and I'm about to say something, but instead, he gently presses his own lips against mine. That's probably the only gentle thing he's done to me, but nonetheless, it feels… Oh! Amazing!

This is my first kiss ever, and yet it feels so remarkable. I wrap my arms around his neck, and he does the same around my torso. "Sonic, I'm home, and I—umm…" Oh, Tails… Why now? Shadow and I break away from the kiss abruptly and stop hugging each other. "This was a bad time for me to barge in… wasn't it…?" he asks nervously.
