thanks for reading!

He watched her sleep in his arms. He had woken up a while ago but he didn't want to wake her up. He gently stroked her hair as the sunlight shown down on her. He looked down at himself. He was once again normal and he felt at ease. He looked down once again at his princess who had risked her life for him to become normal.

He owed her his own life now, and he would always be in her debt. She started to awaken and she slowly opened her eyes to reveal her emerald orbs. Her eyes always got to him. They were his weakness. They were so soft and seemed to sparkle endlessly. She smiled when her eyes locked onto his ruby ones.

"Sleep well?" he asked her as he stroked her cheek lovingly.

She slowly nodded and looked at him. "You're really back to normal again…" she murmured.

He chuckled slightly and nodded. "Thanks to you" he replied.

He leaned in and claimed her lips with a soft kiss. When he pulled away he pulled her into an embrace. She sighed contently as she rested her head against his warm chest. They stayed like that until she broke the silence.

"Shadow, I'm still a little confused…" she started. She pulled away to look at him.

"What do you mean?" he asked her, clearly confused.

"Well…when you forgave me so quickly…" she said, looking away from him.

He paused for a moment, trying to find the right words to say. "Amy, I understood what you were going through and it was completely selfish of me to get upset with you. You were going through a rough patch with Sonic and I reacted too harshly. I was selfish to get angry at you when all you've done is help me. I was just hurt because I thought you were mine and only mine. I forgot for that split second that you still needed time. But the real reason that I forgave you is that you mean everything to me. If I lost you, I would lose everything. You're too important to me for me to let go so quickly…" he said as he brought her hand to his heart.

She smiled slightly and her face turned back to a serious expression.

"Well, I still owe you an apology. I mean, I was pretty stupid to do that. I was so strong with keeping my emotions intact and to just lose my control" she said as she shook her head.

He took her face in his warm hands. "I forgive you. Do you forgive me?" he asked her, his eyes pleading.

How could she say no to a face like that? "Of course I forgive you, Shadow" she said.

He smiled at her and became a little nervous and she could tell. "Is something wrong?" she asked him, a little concerned.

"Yes, actually, there is. There's something that I haven't said directly to you and I feel like a fool for not saying this to you…" he said.

She already had a feeling what it was and butterflies fluttered in her tummy.

"Y-yes?" she stammered.

His eyes half closed and spoke. "I'm desperately in love with you, Amy Rose. I want to spend the rest of my days with you. I want you to be mine. Forever" he said as he watched her reaction.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

"Shadow…" she chuckled as she laid her hand against his cheek. "I love you, too" she answered as he gently wiped away the tears of joy. T

hey shared a more intimate kiss and it declared her love. Her werehog love.

THE END.
