"And that's why..." A loud sigh was heard. "...I apologize to you one more time...!" Sonic watched Shadow's facial features accurately while he had a conversation with Black Doom, who had Tails´ pocket computer Sonic had left on the Black Comet. His blue ears listened to the conversation excited when he removed the bandage around his chest he wore for almost a week while doing all sorts of contortions on the sofa.

Things are changing

It seems strange and

I need to figure this out

His black partner had told him what happened shortly after he lost his consciousness. Apparently Black Doom had brought, with much persuasion of Darkness, them and also the Master Emerald with Chaos Controll back to earth.

You've got your life

I got mine

Shadow let the small communication device there to ... he meant to exclude subsequent attacks, but Sonic knew better. Black Doom was the only one Shadow as relatives still theoretically had, so why any contact to cancel?

But you're all I cared about

Yesterday we were laughing

Today I'm left here asking

Where has all the time gone now

The blue hero could remember from the point again, as Tails garried out the first supply on him, again back on earth. It was said that nothing was broken, but bruised ribs, so that meant: bandages, peace and ... rest. Something wonderful if you ask Sonic ... not really.

I'm left alone somehow

Growing up and getting older

I don't want to believe it's over

However, that gave them some time to start thinking, so they moved both together relatively quickly in Shadow's house, that he got from GUN, as a sign of gratitude, since he somehow rescued the earth? Tails was sad as Sonic took off, but was quickly cheered with the argument that he could now increase his workshop.

Don't say goodbye

Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight

Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I

And although we knew

This time would come for me and you

Don't say anything tonight

If you're gonna say goodbye

Also Amy seemed to came over her big hero and held from now first distance to them. Sonic could understand this well, but hoped she could forgive him quickly. Another news was that Rouge quickly came back from the hospital and soon she was well again. Together she was now back with Knuckles and the saved Master Emerald on Angel Island.

Do you remember

In December

How we swore we'd never change

But one was not really quiet. It had passed no day without Black Doom calling, sometimes just to ask about the weather on Earth, but once again, Sonic knew it better. He also sought contact with Shadow and it seemed the more he apologized that the two of them got along better together."Yes, I understand... that ... you can really stop apologizing... Father..." Sonic pricked up his ears at such a... nice tone and also Black Doom just blinked.

Even though you're leaving

That our feelings

Would always stay the same

"Oh... Oh, sure... I just wanted to make sure!" But Shadow waved him off. "It's all right... But... I got to go now, you know..." This was a lie, but... he needed as much time as he needed. Sonic shrugged his shoulders, grinning briefly. Black Doom also seemed to notice that and sighed briefly, then nodded understandingly. "O-Of course, I'll call again tomorrow a-." But Shadow already hang up and sighed loudly as he crouched even more on the couch and supported his head on one hand.

The blue hero fought briefly with his bandages. Tails said a week and that was over! In general, that thing had disturbed him too much anyway! It was uncomfortable and Shadow... treated him very strange.

I wish we could be laughing

Instead I'm standing here asking

Do we have to end this now

Can we make it last somehow

And with strange Sonic meant any withdrawal of affection. He could understand, yes, that he was worried... to touch him? But he was not made of glass and he had survived a lot horrific injuries, okay?!

We both know what we've gotta say, not today

Cause I don't wanna leave this way

The blue hedgehog wrapped the last bandage from his body and then slid to his partner on the other side of the couch.

"Hey ~..." Grinning, he leaned on Shadow's shoulder. "What´s the matter? Now you have a daddy, what's wrong with that?" The black conspecific only raised his gaze slightly sour and changed the subject. "Have you already taken off the bandages by yourself again, you're like a child! Damn it!"

The black one snarled at him slightly, but Sonic didn´t really cared. He knew anyway that he didn´t intended.

Also to that... he liked it anyway.

Don't say goodbye

Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight

Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I

And although we knew

This time would come for me and you

Don't say anything tonight

If you're gonna say goodbye

The hero of Mobius tried to change the subject again. "Hey, I had asked you a question ~ We both know that this thing only bothered ~" The blue hedgehog allowed himself a try and made a attempt to stroke the chest of his partner. "Hm ~"

As Sonic thought to himself, Shadow responded with a small puzzled look and a bit of blush, but did not respond. Also like Sonic had thought. Shadow sighed and then simply answer the question Sonic had asked a few second ago. "There is... nothing wrong with that..." "But...?" Sonic continued, as he gently kissed his shoulder.

And if it's over

It hurts but I'm giving you my word

Once again ignored it his partner by turning his head away. "Well... he wanted to kill me...! And now he has a change of heart and wants to play my papa!?" The blue of them noticed how Shadow talked himself further in rage and therefore became more aggressive. Sonic tried to calm him immediately by cutting his words and licked his cheek lightly.

I hope that you're always

"Maybe... you should give him just one more chance... perhaps he has realized his mistakes and tried to change... just like you..." Sonic... was a bit frustrated as Shadow also didn´t seem to respond. In the last week, the two almost had not touched each other at all... and now Shadow seemed to have more inhibitions than even the first time they slept together.

Happy like we were

Happy like we were

"Yeah, maybe... but still... the biggest thing that upsets me... is that he has hurt you, you know... which brings me back to the point... why is your bandage off... !?"

Shadow changed instantaneously again the emotion and looked back somewhat acidic and Sonic understood. He tried to distract here, and quite formidable!

Don't say goodbye

Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight

Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I

And although we knew

This time would come for me and you

Don't say anything tonight

"..." Sonic took a deep breath before he actually found the strength and courage to push Shadow down on the couch. "Look, I know that you were worried and I know that took a lot from us all, but... I'm healed, you know that as good as I do ~..." As Shadow didn't replay anything besides throwing a dump look at him, Sonic did as on agreement to kiss him.

"And I know as good as you do, that you missed this..." The blue hero also went furhter when he deepened the kiss much like at their first. Shadow still recovered from this unexpected move but when he did, he slightly narrowed his eyes and raised an eyeridge before he actully put his hands on Sonic´s shoulderblades and pressed the blue hero down on him.

If you're gonna say goodbye

Sonic purred at this when he for a moment broke contact. "Erm... can I ask you something...?" The black hedghog beneaht him blinked at this. "Er, sure..." He erected himself a bit and rested on his elbows, looking courious in Sonic´s eyes.

His blue partner blushed a bit as he sit up and now lazily rested on Shadow´s stomach. He lowed his gaze. "...You... felt it too, right? Back then..." Midnight raised the second eyeridge in confusion. "Excuse me...? What do you mean?" Shadow really had no clue.

Yesterday we were laughing (if you're gonna say goodbye)

Which made his partner sigh in irritation. "You know what I mean! When we were... super...! And then... you know..." Sonic didn´t know why this suddenly made him feel awkward again. Probably because he knew where he wanted this to go.

Today I'm left here asking (if you're gonna say goodbye)

Shadow blinked. Oh...! "You mean... then we kissed...? Oh, yeah, I... felt that..." He looked away embrassed for a second before calming himself a little and again building eyecontact with his partner. It had been... a strange but nice feeling but of all it had been one, strong. So strong that almost... well. Shadow swallowed lightly. "Why are you asking...?"

"Weeeell, funny thing..." Sonic grinned uncomfortable and sweetdroped. He coulnt´d just... tell him...? "I... had an idea... an really strange and weird idea, so... if you don´t like it... erm..." The blue hedgehog hold on to Shadow´s chestfur and brushed nervously through it. Of cause Shadow picked up on Sonic´s change of mood.

"What is it...? You can tell me." The ultimate lifeform at this gave a little smile to his lover, finally bringing Sonic to speak.

And although we knew this time

"Well, I thought... we should take the emeralds, turn super... a-and... maybe, but just maybe... find out... just how much they send us on overdrive if we... do stuff..." Sonic pointed his lips nervously at this. Usually he always just thought of his super form of something that would help him win a fight. But now his curiousity and his need to expiriment with... that kind of stuff... let his mind wander further. Would it feel different...? If yes, how much? Would it be alright with Shadow? How would it feel for him...?

His midnight counterpart looked at him a little derpy, slightly dropping his ears from this question and trying to keep his blushing at bay. "So, what you are trying to suggest is that... we turn super and... sl-" "Yeah, that´s kinda... what I thought about..." Sonic cut Shadow off and lowered his gaze even more. Did he had to repeat it...?! He heard him fine the first time, right?

The silence that appered after this sentence didn´t even lasted a few seconds. The first to speak was Shadow. "Well, it doesn´t even sound that weird... just unusal but... intresting~" There was again that smirk, that insisted that Shadow was indeed intrested... a lot.

would come for me and you

His blue interest raised his head again and blinked a little reliefed. "You think? It´s just..." At this he shrugged unsure "The emeralds... they vanished after we got to earth again, right...?" Shadow told him, because he had been still out at this point of time. The ultimate lifeform nodded at this with closed eyes. "Yes... like always when we used them." He stroked lighlty Sonic´s hip where his hands had been resting for a while now.

Suddenly that cocky attitude of Sonic shone through again as he got up little by little and smirked. "Well, then we should go look for ´em~" And Shadow blinked once more derpy and also a little diappointed when Sonic was already up and on the other side of the room. "Come on~"

Don't say anything tonight

"Waaait..." he sat up now and narrowed his eyes, shooting a look in Sonic´s direction. "You are serious...?!"

Because it sure felt like... just a minute ago... Shadow caught himself again at the fact that with hedeghog railed him up way to fast. He cleared his throat when he actually shoke his head and got up. Well... the sooner they find them...

As Sonic raised an eyeridge, Shadow just shook it off. "It´s nothing... but first... you can´t just leave the place so headless...!" Shadow, someone who was way more careful when Sonic went to shut the lights, and the radio that had playing all the time.

"If you're gonna say good-."

He took his time to lock the doors to their new hours while Sonic tapped his foot impatient. He wanted to have the emeralds today... and Shadow...!

Said one finally turned to him and smirked mischivous. "Well... ...?~" His blue partner shoot the exact same look back, before he instantly dashed at fullspeed in a random direction. "Race me there...!" And even if Shadow had no idea where "there" exacly meant he followed him without hesitation.

Actually I have to say that the title for this FF came from "Shadow of the day" by Linkin park, a line right in the first verse. But for the last chapter I just took "Say goodbye" by Skillet, yay! xDD ...It´s a little strange with Black Doom now, I know. I´m just someone who likes to write happy endings x'D
