Yes, this is a short chapter. And yes, I've been gone for a while. I'm sowwy… *tries to be adorable* *gets bricks thrown at* Ow… Oh, fine, just go ahead and read! Choke on hedgehog penis! (Not really. I don't appreciate bestiality, just Sonic porn.)

She threw her head back and laughed. Laughed at them. As if it wasn't true. This pissed Sonic off, to say the least.

"Why are you laughing?" The question was filled with hate Sonic hadn't realized he had for Amy until now.

"Oh," she panted, still giggling. "I know it's not true." She smiled wide and scooted into the booth beside Sonic. "So, what are you guys actually doing?"

So that's why Shadow just straight-up told her, Sonic thought. She wouldn't have believed him anyway.

"Well, Amy," Sonic said slowly, glancing at Shadow for approval – to which he nodded – and leaning closer to Amy's face, making sure she'd get it through her thick skull this time. "We actually are on a date. We saw that new cheesy romance movie and everything." Amy's smile drooped and she froze, stopped breathing, and narrowed her eyes at Shadow. Abruptly, she stood and pointed a angry finger at him.

"How dare you! Steal my Sonickku! Well, we'll see how this turns out, you bastard." She stormed off and pushed an elderly woman from her path as she exited the ice cream shop. Shadow held his ground, fingertips tapping against their opposites and smirking, and looked at Sonic.

"It seems Rose needs to learn her place." He finished off his ice cream by drinking it down, seeing that it was now melted, and stood up, holding out his hand for Sonic to take. "To your place, I presume?"

"…To do what?"

"Whatever it is you do to ready yourself for bed, I guess… I wouldn't know." Sonic blushed, laughed.

"Oh yeah…" Even more flustered, he said, "Duh!" Shadow gave him a curious look.

"What was the point of saying that syllable?" Sonic grabbed his hand, quickly pulling himself up, unhanding the hand and shoving his own into a pocket. Shadow rolled his eyes and placed his hand at the small of Sonic's back, guiding him out the shop.

"Your fear for rejection is quite annoying after a while, Sonic." They glanced at each other as Shadow held the door open for Sonic to get into the car. "And I won't be accepting it later." He closed the door and walked around to the driver's side.

"Oh god." Shadow threw him a raised eyebrow.

"What?"

"Oh god… Fucking Chaos, I am such a whore." He slapped his hands over his face and let go a heavy sigh.

"Um… what?"

"Look at our predicament, Shadow!" He was sitting up now and waving around as to point out their 'predicament'. So Shadow looked around. They were on the hood of his car, nude, underneath a blanket, the memory and smell of mating and feces fresh in the air. It was Sonic's first time so it was obvious he wouldn't have douched so Shadow ignored the feces part. The whole scenario seemed okay to him.

"What?"

"'What?' 'What?'"

"Um… yes?"

"I supposed to be role model, not some fucking whore who gives it up on the first date!" He paused and his ears drooped. "Chaos, I'm not a virgin anymore!"

"That is the result that comes from having sex for the first time…"

"This isn't a joke, you ass!" Shadow muttered an apology hastily; why was Sonic so unhappy with him? Did he not please him correctly? He did exactly as he did with Rouge and she said he was the best she's ever had so far… So why was Sonic not pleased? "Are you even listening to me!"

"Huh?"

"Know what? Just take me home."

"But –"

"Take me home!" The blue hedgehog jumped off the hood and snatched the blanket, Shadow only hearing his heavy, angry panting, the crunchy of leaves under the pads of his feet, the slam of the door, and a muffled, frustrated squeal as he laid on the hood, naked.
