I AM TAKING CHARLIE BEING A SNEAKY LITTLE FUCKER AND SHARING HER IMMORTALITY WITH VAGGIE AND *RUNNING*
Charlie is absolutely sleeping on the couch for a while, and maybe also getting a firm talk about *asking first*.
...and maybe a little MORE sleeping on the couch. BUT she's never sleeping on the couch for long before her wife, quietly grumbling about wanting her cuddles dammit, comes over and drags her to bed.
And maybe they do talk quietly about charlie's fears there, while they're laying in bed. And maybe charlie's horns come out then, and her tail coils tight around vaggie's waist, and tears start running down her cheeks.
She had been so *scared*...
And Vaggie cant help but just sigh and sit up, brushing those tears away from her *overly-dramatic princesa*.
It's okay that she was scared. Vaggie understood, even if she was still a *little* annoyed. But they had time to figure it out. Her clever, *stubborn* princesa had bargained for all the time they'd ever need.
Vaggie: "I guess it figures, honestly."
Charlie: "Wh-" (voice fucked up from crying) (clears throat) "-what does?"
Vaggie: "You. Of all the demons in hell, of course you'd be the one who tricks someone into stealing YOUR soul."
Charlie: (wet giggle) "Heh. Shared, not stolen, Vaggie."
Vaggie: "Not yours anymore either way, sweetie."
Charlie: "Freely given."
Vaggie: "Not so freely taken but I guess I'll just have to live with that."
Charlie: "You will- you're gonna have a VERY long time to be angry with me about it!"
Vaggie: "I'm not angry, Charlie. I'm just..."
Charlie: "...disappointed? Trust, kinda dented? A little?"
Vaggie: "It's more like-"
Charlie: "I fucked around with our vows in front of everyone without telling you and made you do something you didn't want and I really, REALLY wish I could say I'm sorry for that- I- I wasn't even sure I'd go through with it until- I just-"
Vaggie: "Shhh I know. It's.... okay."
Charlie: "It's not."
Vaggie: "It's okay enough for me. I know you were scared. I don't ever want you to be that scared again."
Charlie: "I'm not anymore!"
Vaggie: "Right." (muttering) "Now I get to be the scared one..."
Charlie: "What? Scared of what? We can, we be together always now- neither of us has to leave! And, and even if we DO split up... we'll still see each other around for the rest of eternity. That's not. Bad. Is it..?"
Vaggie: "It's a long time to live with all the people I've killed. And with who I've been."
Charlie: "....."
Vaggie: "I'm already... not always the best at living with that. Or leaving it behind. Now I've got your soul in my hands, sweetie. I changed for the better, once- what if next time it's for the worse?"
Charlie: "Then I'll be there until you change again."
Vaggie: "What if I hurt you?"
Charlie: "You were going to already. Now at least, we'll always have the chance to make up afterwards."
Vaggie: (chuckling) "Like we're doing right now, huh."
Charlie: "Well~ It is ONE way of spending our honeymoon~"
Vaggie: "You're still staying on the couch, babe."
Charlie: "-Yep, yep, that's totally fair!"
Vaggie: "So I guess I'll just have to stay here with you."
Charlie: "... I'd like that."
Vaggie: "You'd better. No take backs, remember? Your silly soul is mine, officially, until someone manages to off us both in creation's most epic combo kill."
Charlie: "Heheheh. That's fine." (snuggles under vaggies wing) "I always like going out with you..."
Vaggie: "....I'm adding another week of couch time for that joke."
Charlie: (singing) "And I still regret nothiiiiing~!"
Vaggie: "Typical." (smiling anyway)

Die With A Smile: A Sonadow Oneshot
Notes: My friend challenged me to write Sonadow karaoke. This is the result. Very crackhead. Much gay.
Summary: Shadow loses a bet with Rouge and has to attend a karaoke party. Shenanigans ensue.
Rating: T for language
Start:
Shadow has got to stop placing bets with Rouge.
Itâs his own fault, really. His ego is too big, and his need to prove himself as the Ultimate Lifeform in every possible way is far too strong. Rouge? Rouge knows this and takes advantage. Every. Time.
And as it has been many times before, her cons came in the form of a bet.
Walking over with a towel, she fiddled with it in her hands as she spoke, âSo you coming to Amyâs Karaoke Spectacular??â
âIâve already answered this. Seven times,â Shadow grumbles as he washes dishes, passing one off to Rouge to dry. This is their routine. Theyâve been roommates for a little over eight months now, and the deal is whoever doesnât cook has to wash the dishes. Tonight, thatâs Shadow.
Rouge gives him a little pout, placing the dried dish on the rack and waiting for the next one, âAw come on, Shadow.. Not even for me?â
âWhy on earth would that make a difference?â Shadow questions with a quirk of his brow and teasing little smirk.
Rouge rolls her eyes at him with a huff, âOkay then. What if I said âpretty pleaseâ??â
âThe physical appearance of the please doesnât matter,â Shadow says unbothered, handing the next dish to her as he then begins scrubbing at the pan the chopped potatoes had cooked on, âAnd begging doesnât suit you..â
âHmph,â she growls a bit, placing her hands on her hips a moment before then growing a slow smirk, âWhat if we made a bet??â
Shadowâs ear twitches at that, looking at her out of the corners of his eyes a moment. She has that mischievous glint in them. He knew it was trouble, and still he-
âIâm listening..â
Rouge moves the pan Shadow is working on out of the sink, Shadowâs brows furrowing questioningly as he watches her instead place the towel sheâs been holding in his hands.
âHereâs the bet. I lose, Iâll cook and wash the dishes for three months.â
Shadowâs brow raises at her, looking at the towel in his hands a moment before back to her, âAnd if I lose I have to come to the karaoke spectacular??â
âAND sing a song of my choice,â Rouge adds with a wicked grin.
Shadow is immediately handing the towel back to her and shaking his head, âAbsolutely not.â
âOh whatâs wrong??? Got a case of the stage fright??â
âNo. I just refuse to lower myself to such insolent and ridiculous standards as singing cheesy songs that no one asked anyone to cover,â Shadowâs arms cross.
Rouge shrugs, âFine. Guess I just didnât expect the Ultimate Lifeform to back down from a challenge so easily.â
Shadowâs eyes narrow at her with a scowl.
Rougeâs narrow with a challenge.
â...We have a deal?â She asks, reaching her hand out to him with a knowing grin.
Shadow growls a bit, already mentally scolding himself for falling for this shit again. But he still finds his hand reaching out to shake hers, nodding with a firm, âDeal.â
Rouge giggles a bit giddily, âGreat!â
âSo whatâs the challenge?â Shadow questions as he retracts his hand, realizing now he probably shouldâve asked that before making this bet.
Rouge hands the towel back to him again, Shadow watching as she moves his hands into position under the tap of the sink. Shadow holds an end of the dish towel in each hand, arms outstretched and spread as wide as the towel goes. Rouge then reaches to turn on the water, the tap flowing in the space between his arms, himself and the towel.
She crosses her arms then, nodding her head to him with a simple, âMove the towel without letting go of either end or getting it or your arms wet. And NO chaos control.â
Shadowâs brow raises at her. Crimson eyes roll at this, smirking confidently with a scoff, âThatâs it?? I expected more from you-â
He looks back down at the towel and his brain freezes.
He stares at it a long moment, the gears in his head practically groaning and creaking with how he tries to find the solution. He could move it to the left, but then his right arm would get wet. Same with the right getting the left wet. He canât simply move it towards him because then itâs wet. His brain begins to hurt. Rouge canât help but let her grin widen as he successfully allows himself to get overwhelmed and overthink the entire puzzle.
His teeth grit, growling low as his body starts to tremble.
Rouge just leans against the counter and waits, examining her nails as if she has all the time in the world.
They stay like that for a solid sixteen minutes, which is terrible for the environment to let the water run that long. And then Shadow groans and growls out, âI canât! I donât get it! What the hell am I supposed to do!? Tell me!! Tell me or Iâm gonna destroy this damn sink and rip the towel to shredsâ!â
Rouge simply takes the towel from him, moving her arms into position while holding the towel. She then moves her hand while still holding the towel to simply turn off the water, successfully retracting the towel back to her body without getting it or her arms wet.
Shadow just stares dumbfounded and feeling smaller than a pathetic worm.
âBut you canât justâ youâ thatâsââ
âSee you at karaoke~,â She coos as she playfully rolls the towel up to whip and snap his tail, making him jump about two feet with a yelp.
And thatâs how he ended up here. Standing outside Amy Roseâs front door with nothing but shame for whatâs going to happen tonight. He can hear music coming from the backyard, what sounds like an agitating rendition of âWe Built This City On Rock and Rollâ being sung.
He could run. He could chaos control somewhere far away, and no one could ever force him to socialize or sing or any of it.
But he canât.
He made a bet and promised Rouge heâd come.
And he always keeps his promises.
Taking a deep breath, Shadow collects his dignity while he still has it and lifts his hand to ring the white doorbell next to the pink door.
Breathing out the breath he had just taken slowly, he hears footsteps approaching from the inside.
The door opens to reveal Amy standing there with a wide grin that only seems to get brighter the second she sees itâs Shadow who had rang the doorbell.
âShadow!â she beams, her voice reaching octaves that shouldnât be possible for most Mobians. Heâs always like Amy, though, so he tries not to seem too agitated by this.
He offers a tired sort of smile in return, not quite reaching his eyes but still trying to be in good spirits for his hostâs sake, âHello, Rose.â
Amy quickly reaches to grab his wrist, dragging him inside and shutting the door behind him, âCome in! Itâs chilly out there..â
âIsnât the party outside??â Shadow asks with a quirk of his brow. Amy giggles in response with a sheepish, âWell, yes, but we have a bonfire going and everyone is toasting marshmallows and hotdogs and thereâs a chili bar with hot cocoaâ I even made some coffee in case you showed up!â
Shadow hums with a soft look to his eyes at her thoughtfulness. âThat was kind of you.â
âIâm so glad you came!â Amy grins, bouncing on her toes as she leads Shadow to the kitchen where Cream and Miss Vanilla are helping her whip up some more chili since theyâre running low outside, âRouge has been saying youâd be here, but I honestly was doubting her.â
Before Shadow can respond, another squeaky voiced girl is wrapping her arms tight around his torso and squeezing for dear life, âMr. Shadow! Iâm so glad youâre here!â
Shadow looks down at the rabbit hugging him, chuckling a bit as his hand rests between her ears and pets there tenderly, âNice to see you too, Miss Cream..â
Cream giggles at how he addresses her formerly, looking up at him with those big, starry eyes he canât help but have a soft spot for, âMiss Rouge said you were coming, but I wasnât sure she was being honest.â
âWhy would Rouge lie, Creamy Dear?â Miss Vanilla says as she approaches, âHello again, Shadow.â
âMiss Vanilla,â Shadow nods to her politely before looking back to Cream, âUnfortunate for all of us, Rouge is right most of the time.â
Cream giggles at this, letting go of Shadow and moving to tug on his hand, âCome with me, Mr. Shadow! I have a free seat next to me just for you!â
Shadow smirks a bit and allows himself to be towed behind the little one towards the backyardâs door, giving a small wave to Amy and Vanilla as they stay back in the kitchen.
Maybe this wouldnât be so terrible.. Shadow does enjoy seeing Cream. She reminds him so much of the time he spent on the ARK taking care of Maria.. That and the little rabbit has never once looked at him with any sort of judgment or fear in her eyes. She always looked at him as though he had all the potential in the world to be nothing but good. And he couldnât ever say why that meant so much to him, but it did.
If Cream ever looked at him with disappointment, heâd lose his mind.
Upon entering the backyard, he looks around at the decorations. Amy really is the best host for gatherings. She never misses, always hits the nail on the head perfectly and seems to enjoy seeing everyone have fun and appreciate her hard work.
The yard has fairy lights dangling all around, circling a bonfire in the middle that is in the center of a stone firepit. Thereâs wooden seats around the firepit for those who get a bit chilly, though most are empty currently. Only Espio sits there, not seeming too keen on the cold weather. Thereâs a coat rack just to the right of the door with complimentary, hand-knitted gloves, hats and scarves. Next to it along the porch is the coffee, hot cocoa and chili bar Amy had spoken of along with a little basket with long, metal skewers sticking out of it and a chalkboard dangling from the front that reads âFor your Hot Dogs and Marshmallowsâ. There were hot dogs and marshmallows stacked into little pyramids on a table, ready to roast. Amy even had a vegan option..
To the far left is a stage pressed against the wood fence surrounding the yard, white curtains providing a backdrop behind it and spotlights hanging from the bottom of the stage to provide good lighting.
On the stage bouncing far too energetically up and down was none other than the dynamic duo themselves: Sonic and Tails.
Sonic is jamming on his electric guitar he seems to have brought for himself and Tails is singing next to him with laughter in his voice. Sonic is banging his head so aggressively that Shadow wonders if heâll still have all his quills by the end of the night.
Rolling his eyes at the ridiculous display, Shadow looks back down to Cream who leads him to the coat rack.
The rabbit lets go of his hand to ponder the choices of winter weather clothes for a moment before she reaches and pulls off a deep blue scarf, turning to him and holding it out for him to take, âI think this one will look nicely with your eyes!â
Shadow looks at the scarf as he takes it into his hands, observing it a moment. Amy really outdid herself making all these for everyone.
He canât help but look at it and think ofâ
âThank you,â he says with a gentle smile at the little girl, wrapping it around his shoulders and then tying it secure but comfortable around his neck, âI like your light blue one.â
Cream giggles at this, beaming at him as she rocks back and forth on her toes, âWe kind of match!â
âI believe we do,â he says with a wink, offering his hand to her again which she takes with pride.
Walking them towards the stage, Cream Explains her seat is in the front row. She likely chose this spot due to her short size, but Shadow really dreaded being near the front like this..
As they approached the stage, Shadow took notice in who all was there.
Vector was DJ-ing, of course. Charmy was sitting on a speaker near him, watching Vectorâs hands move over the sound system as if he was taking notes. Rouge had Knuckles cornered near the back of the seats, leaning towards him a little too close for Knucklesâ comfort if how red his face was was anything to go off of. Omega was stood behind them, seemingly ignoring them with his robotic eyes locked towards the stage. Sticks the Badger was there. She was a relatively new member of the group that Amy had apparently taken quite the liking to. And Shadow trusted Roseâs judgment.
Big the Cat was sitting in the front swaying side to side in his seat with his frog in his hand as if this was a slow song, not at all matching the upbeat momentum of it. Even Silver and Blaze were there, to Shadowâs surprise. Itâs not every day one should break the time stream just to come to a party.
He doesnât dwell on this, though. Moving with Cream towards the front to find his seat just as Sonic and Tails finish up their number. The group hoot and holler for the two, applauding as Sonic gives a dramatic bow and Tails sheepishly grins and rubs the back of his neck. They exit the stage and Vector announces the next song,
âAlright everyone! That was a pretty sweet song, gonna be tough to follow up with that! Next on the song list is another duet! âClub Canât Handle Meâ by Flo Rida! Letâs see who our duetists are!â
Shadowâs eyes watch Sonic as he walks off the steps to the right of the stage, high-fiving Tails as they go. Theyâre both laughing and saying something to each other that Shadow canât make out, but itâs probably dumb anyway.
Sonicâs whole voice is dumb. And his dumb face and his dumb smile and dumb eyesâ
Heâs looking at Shadow.
Shadow quickly looks away, feeling his cheeks heat up a bit as he dips his head down in hopes his scarf will mask it some. Was he staring?? No, he wasnât- he just got lost in his thoughts of how dumb that faker is..
His eyes are on the ground as Vector pulls two random names from a hat and announces it will be Blaze and Big performing this next song.
âWoo! Everyoneâs favorite purple felines teaming up for the win!â Sonic yells supportively, Shadow flinching slightly at how close he sounds.
Oh.
Thatâs because heâs close.
Bright red, signature shoes appear in his line of sight, crimson eyes trailing up Sonicâs form to find emerald looking right back.
Sonic smirks. Shadow scowls.
âWell looky here. Didnât expect to see you here, Shadow!â the blue hedgehog beams, wearing a red scarf that matches his shoes. His has a tiny âSâ on the end of it, Shadow notices. Amy mustâve made one especially for him.
âI try not to make a habit of social gatherings,â Shadow gruffly replies, looking away as if to take in the event except itâs really just to escape that gaze..
Sonic chuckles at that, hands moving to his own hips as he speaks, âWell, maybe you should..â
Shadowâs eyes return to him at that, eyeing the blue hedgehog questioningly which seems to make Sonic blush a bit as he quickly gestures to Cream.
âLooks like youâd make a certain little rabbit real happy if you came around more.â
Cream beams at that, standing on her chair to try and be as tall as Sonic, âI would be, Mr. Sonic!â
âSee??â Sonic grins, looking at Cream now, âWho could say no to that face???â
Cream giggles, bouncing on her toes to which Sonic reaches over and picks her up to toss her up then set her back down as she laughs excitedly. He bends down as she speaks to him.
âCan I make you a âlittle-bit-of-everythingâ chili dog, Mister Sonic?!â
Sonic winks at this, giving her a thumbs up, âYou make the best ones, Cream.â
She nods with a determined face, dashing off to the chili dog stand as if sheâs on a mission.
Sonic watches her with a chuckle, rubbing under his nose as Shadow looks at him..
Sonic looks at Shadow.
Shadow looks away.
Sonic smiles a bit at this, moving to take a seat next to Shadow as Blaze and Big start their performance. Itâs quite a comical one. Blazeâs raspy and shier voice paired with Bigâs own off beat and tonedeaf one. She definitely looks uncomfortable but Silver is giving her thumbs up in the audience so that seems to motivate her.
âSo what made you come?â Sonic asks after a moment, looking at Shadow with a tilt of his head.
âRouge,â he mutters, looking over at the bat who is still pestering that poor echidna, âLost a bet.â
âAh,â Sonic immediately answers with a grin, âSheâs a trickster for sure.â
âMm..,â Shadow nods in agreement, his arms crossed over his chest.
Thereâs a long moment of silence.
ââŠSo how have youââ
âIâm getting coffee,â Shadow interrupts, standing from his seat and leaving Sonic behind. Sonicâs ears droop a bit, watching Shadow go with a quiet, âOh. Okay. See ya.â
Shadow walks quickly towards the coffee bar, grabbing a cup once he gets there and working to fill it up with his heart pounding in his chest.
Anxiety is a bitch.
He takes a long shaky breath as he pours the drink, watching the steam rise from it. Black. Just how he likes it.
He cups it in his hands and blows on the top before taking a sip and immediately feeling his shoulders slouch and some tension fade. His sighs slow and takes another sip, swallowing down the lump that felt like it had been forming in his throat.
He hated he got like this. It always made him feel so weak. He didnât do well in groups.. he always felt out of place or like he has nothing to contribute to conversation.
And that hedgehog⊠that damn blue hedgehog.
Sonic always seemed to make Shadow lock up even more than usual. Made him feel like his defenses were both down and up all at the same time. Like his walls were crackling apart and thus making Shadow panic to rush to build them higher and stronger.
He thought it would get better with time, but instead, it just seems to get worse.
He does fine on assignments or missions with Sonic, whenever theyâre required to work together for the greater good. Itâs easy to speak to him then. They work well side by side, a power that canât be beat. But in casual conversation??? Sonic is.. intimidating.
Heâs so quick witted and talkative. He always knows what to say and how to say it. Shadow admires this and hate it about him. Itâs overwhelming.
Just like his dumb face.
After a moment to gather himself, Shadow moves to instead approach Rouge who sees him coming and snaps up with a grin, âYou came!â
âIâve been here,â he grumbles with a roll of his eyes, noticing how Knuckles seems relieved her attention is elsewhere.
Shadow canât help but wonder if Knuckles feels the same way about Rouge as Shadow does about Sonic. Two painfully charismatic people talking to two painfully awkward people.
Except with Knuckles and Rouge, itâs flirting and bickering.
Thatâs not what Sonic and Shadow do.
Well.
They bicker.
And Sonic might be naturally flirtatious now and then.
But itâs not the same.
âOh. Sorry, Iâve been busy with Knuckles here,â she smirks, gesturing to Knuckles who offers a small âsupâ to Shadow, Shadow nodding back before returning his gaze to Rouge.
âHow long do I have to stay??â
Rouge blinks, âButâ you just got here?â
âIâve been here for about ten minutes, actually. And thatâs plenty long, I think.â
âDonât be dramatic,â she rolls her eyes at him, placing a hand on her hip as she juts it out all sassy-like, âBesides, you still have to sing your one song.â
Shadow had been hoping sheâd forgotten about that.
âThen can we just get it over with so I can leave??â
âNo way!â Rouge huffs, poking his chest with a finger as she narrows her eyes at him disappointedly, âYou are going to stay here and socialize and be happy about it! And when I decide you can sing and leave, youâll sing and leave.â
She crosses her arms, sticking her nose up a matter-of-factly as she closes her eyes with a âhmph.â
Shadow blinks.
He looks at Knuckles for help.
Knuckles just shrugs at him, âShe scares me too, dude.â
âWhat did you say?!â Rouge glares down at the echidna who flinches immediately with a âNothing!â
âOh Iâm scary, huh??? You know whatâs scary is an echidna whose only friend is a rock!â
âOh yeah?! Wellââ
Shadow leaves before he gets a headache.
He looks at the spot near the front that Cream has saved for him.
Sonic is still sitting there eating his chili dog and talking to Cream and Tails and now Amy as well..
He turns on his heel and makes his way to the bonfire where Espio sits alone. At least he can depend on Espio to not try and spark a conversation with him.
He sits in one of the wooden chairs, leaning back in it with a sigh as he sips his coffee.
Espio, in fact, does not try to talk to him. He keeps his eyes shut in silence a few seats away from Shadow. Honestly, Shadow thinks he might be asleep.
His eyes flutter shut, holding his coffee in his lap as he sighs and lets the karaoke going on fade to the background.
He surely wonât actually be able to sleep Like Espio. Heâs use to silence in his slumber. White noise. Like when he was in the tank on the ARK..
But he might be able to look enough like heâs sleeping that no one will disturb him.
He stays like this a long time.. at least three or four songs are performed as he sits there unbothered.
âDonât Go Breaking My Heartâ performed by Silver and Cream.
âFireworkâ performed by Amy.
And âAnything You Can Do, I Can Do Betterâ very ironically performed by Rouge and Knuckles.
The next performance is Tails singing âCount On Meâ when Shadow hears footsteps approaching.
He doesnât open his eyes, hoping whomever it is will take the hint and leave him be.
His ear twitches at the sound of the wooden chair next to him creaking with someone being seated in it. The person takes a breath as if theyâre gonna speak and then stops.
Shadow expects them to get up and leave.
Instead he hears some fidgeting and movement. And then he hears the quiet sound of guitar strings..
His eyes slide open just slightly to peer over and see Sonic sitting there with his guitar in hand picking a quiet and relaxing melody..
Itâs⊠odd to see.
Sonic who is chaotic and fiery and adventurous and always loud and obnoxious and canât sit still..
now sits there picking one of the softest and quietest melodies heâs ever heard.
And he looks content while doing so. His face is soft with a smile on his muzzle, humming quietly as he plays. Like a lullaby.
Shadow watches him a long moment.. and then his eyes drift over to the fire. He watches it burn as Sonic plays, finding himself almost hypnotized by the moment. The calm of it. The warmth and the lull of the melody..
He sips his coffee. Sonic doesnât bother him.
Itâs nice. Shadow wasnât even aware Sonic played guitar before tonight, if heâs honest. He never thought the hedgehog could even sit still long enough to learn such a thing.
And without much thought, he voices this, âI didnât know you played.â
The strumming stops a moment, Shadow seeing Sonicâs head lift out of his peripherals to look at him. Sonic starts playing again and shrugs as he does so, âYeah, I have since I was a kid. Use to be in a band, believe it or not.â
âI shockingly can believe that,â Shadow says with a small quirk of his brow, eyeing Sonic as he sips his coffee to which Sonic chuckles at in response.
âI donât play a lot anymore. Only when I need to clear my head some or am at events like this. Sometimes both..â
Shadow turns his head a bit more towards Sonic at that, eyeing him a moment as Sonicâs own gaze returns down to watching his own fingers move.
ââŠHas something been on your mind?â
Why is he asking that??? Itâs not his business and he doesnât careâ
âMm..,â Sonic shrugs, âJust been having trouble sleepinâ..â
Shadow hums at that, âCanât say I relate fully. As the Ultimate Lifeform, I donât require sleep.â
Sonicâs head lifts a bit at that, looking at Shadow with a slight tilt of his head, âSeriously??â
âMm,â Shadow nods.
âThen what do you do most nights??â Sonic asks curiously, his picking on his guitar never stopping.
âIt varies..,â Shadow says, not planning to elaborate but seeing how Sonic is leaning in tentatively, he keeps going, âSometimes I read. Sometimes I do research for work.. sometimes I watch the stars or go for a run.â
Sonic smiles a bit at that, seeming to relate to that, âSo you never sleep at all??â
âWell.. occasionally. For the sake of the pastime. Or for the sake of simply resting for a bit.. shutting down and not having to think for a period of time can be therapeutic.â
âI canât imagine not sleeping,â Sonic says with a chuckle, âIâm a professional sleeper, Iâll have you know.â
âWell what kind of professional sleeper has trouble sleeping?â
Sonicâs cocky demeanor falters at that, looking at Shadow with a faded smirk before he looks back down to his guitar and mutters, âIâve been having nightmares is all.. theyâll go away, though, and when they do, Iâll be a shooinâ for the Snooze-lympics.â
Shadow watches the blue hedgehog deliver the joke with a little grin, but he sees how it doesnât meet his eyes..
He knows about nightmares.. he has far too many of his own.
âDo.. you want to talk about it??â Shadow asks after a moment, holding his now nearly empty coffee in his hands as he shifts his body a bit more towards Sonic.
Sonic hums a bit, looking up from his guitar to the fire instead. He seems hesitant. Reluctant. Shadow wonât push him if he is made uncomfortable by the conversation. He shouldnât have asked in the first place, frankly.
ââŠYou know.. in all my years of heroing and what not, Iâve rarely not been able to save someone,â Sonic says after a long pause, Shadowâs brows furrowing a bit at the subject change but he doesnât interrupt.
â..So I guess when I fail, it would haunt me.. huh?â
Shadow purses his lips, not liking the way Sonic guilts himself but understanding the toll being a hero can take, âMakes sense..â
Sonic nods.
â..Itâs the same dream. Over and over. Reaching and not being able to grab it. Not being fast enough.â
Shadow feels a sense of uneasiness grow inside him, his heart starting to rise into his throat again. He grips his cup a bit tighter and raises it to sip to try and swallow the feeling back down.
âI watch it fall like a star.. out of my sight. I try to get to it, but itâs like I canât move. I feel so helpless..â
Shadow swallows the last of his coffee but keeps the cup to his lips, eyes staying on Sonic.
ââŠWhy didnât you let me save you, Shadow??â Sonicâs eyes lift to Shadowâs then and Shadow feels his chest hurt.
When did Sonic stop playing his guitar??
The only sound now is the crackling of the fire and the distant karaoke performance currently happening on stage.
Shadow doesnât answer. Just watches Sonic in a long moment of silence. Sonic doesnât push. He just waits, leaning his elbows against his guitar in his lap and chewing on the inside of his cheek.
The ebony hedgehog lowers his cup after a moment, clearing his throat before speaking at last, âI-⊠donât really remember much of that event.â
Sonic doesnât seem too convinced of his answer, so Shadow tries to add, âAfter the fall, I simply remember waking up and not knowing anything anymore.. Iâm not sure what was going through my headââ
âYou remember,â Sonic says. And thereâs such conviction in his voice that Shadowâs mouth immediately shuts. Their eyes stay locked as if a challenge.
Shadowâs crimson orbs glare for a moment longer before Shadow huffs and pushes himself to stand from his chair. Sonic watches with his ears sinking back a bit.
âIâm leaving. Tell Rose I appreciated the hospitality.â
Sonic stands then, moving his guitar out of his lap and setting it on the chair, âShadow, waitââ
âAlright! Next up is a special request from our belovedly devious Rouge the Bat!â Vector announces from the stage, Rouge standing beside him with a wicked little grin. Shadow is making his way to the door with Sonic not far behind him.
âOur two performers will be..,â Rouge whispers in Vectorâs ear and Vector seems a bit stunned, âSonic and Shadow???â
Thereâs immediate silence and whispers among the group, Shadowâs attention brought to the stage upon hearing his name and his eyes widening at realizing heâs being summoned.
Sonic too has paused, staring at the stage and then back to Shadow and then the stage again.
Shadow doesnât spare a glance to Sonic, defensively crossing his arms with a stubborn, âI was just leaving.â
âOhhh no you donât, Grumps,â Rouge immediately protests, leaping from the stage to glide over to Shadow and tug at his arm, âYou promised me a song of my choice. Itâs your turn to perform.â
âNow is not the time, Rouge,â Shadow growls under his breath to which she shrugs unbothered.
âNot my problem,â she pulls him to the stage and pushes him towards the steps, âNow knock âem dead, Shadow! Metaphorically, of course.â
Sonic has walked to the stage now as well, seeming very off-put by this but also seeming as though heâs resolute.
Shadow watches him approach the mic on the stage, refusing to join him as he stands at the bottom of the stairs. He looks out at the small intimate crowd staring at him expectedly and then back to Sonic and then to Rouge andâ
âFuck this-â he huffs before quickly making his way towards the exit again, Rouge standing from her seat to follow him.
âHey! Shadow, hold on a second!â
The music starts playing.. emerald eyes watching the black hedgehog making his escape. Sonic swallows hard, moving a hand to hold the mic as he keeps his gaze on Shadow.
A surprisingly angelic âooohâ coming from him as he warms up to the song. Shadowâs steps falter a bit at this, not expecting Sonic to actually perform. Rouge stops behind him, her attention turning back to Sonic again, and then Shadow who is now standing still with his hand on Amyâs backdoor..
âI.. I just woke up from a dream,â Sonic sings with a slight sway on his feet, trying to loosen up some but his eyes stay on Shadow, âWhere you and I had to say goodbye..â
Shadowâs brows knit a bit, turning to look towards the stage again and seeing Sonic standing there watching him.
âI donât know what it all means..,â Sonic sings with a small shrug, averting his eyes a bit shyly now as he continues, âBut since I survived, I realized..â
Shadow steps away from the door.
âWherever you go thatâs where I foooollow. Nobodyâs promised tomooooorrow.â
Sonicâs eyes shut as he grips the mic a bit tighter and gives his all, âSo Iâma love you every night like itâs the last night- like itâs the last night!â
Everyone watches as Shadow approaches the stage between the chairs, Sonic singing his heart out quite literally into the mic with an undeniable amount of emotion and earnest.
âIf the world was endinâ, Iâd wanna be next to youuuu! If the party was over, and our time on earth was throuuuuugh.â
Sonicâs eyes open again to look up at the stars now, reaching a hand out to them as if to grab, âIâd wanna hold you just for a while..,â his hand returns to his mic with shut eyes, âAnd diiiiiie with a smile!â
Everyone is in absolute awe of whatâs happening. Sonicâs voice demands attention and captures them with its feeling, but so does the fact it feels like a very intimate moment between Shadow and Sonic..
âIf the world was ending, Iâd wanna be next,â Sonicâs eyes open again, âto you..â
Sonicâs eyes widen a bit when he looks for Shadow but doesnât see him, a quiet breath escaping him as he immediately backs from the mic and begins to leave the stage to the right to look for him whenâ
âOoooh lost..â
Sonicâs eyes widen as he spins on his heels to see Shadow has joined him from the left side of the stage and is now holding the second mic singing into it..
He seems shy.. quiet at first, but his voice is so.. enchanting. Smooth like silk and mesmerizing.
âLost in the words that we scream..,â Shadow sings with a knit to his brow, cheeks rosy as he glances to Sonic from the corners of his eyes, âI donât even wanna do this anymoooore.â
Sonic quickly moves to his mic and joins in to harmonize as they both sing.
ââCause you already know what you mean to me!â
âAnd our loveâs the only oneââ
âWorth fighting for..â
âCause wherever you go thatâs where Iââ Shadow turns towards Sonic then, point down at the ground as if to make a damn point and Sonic just smiles and steps towards him a bit.
ââFooooollow.â
âNobodyâs promisedââ
ââtomooooorrow.â
Shadow and Sonic are now gripping their mics tight, and itâs as if the rest of the world has faded away.. Shadowâs stage fright gone as it feels as though theyâre both confessing to one another right then and there.
âSo Iâma love you every night like itâs the last night! Like itâs the last night!â
âIf the world was ending, Iâd wanna be next to youuuuu! If the party was over and our time on earth was throuuuuugh!â
Shadow gives an ever so small smile as he sings,
âIâd wanna hold you..â
Sonic harmonizing with him with a heart melting grin, âJust for a while..â
âAnd diiiiiie with a smile!!â
âIf the world was ending, Iâd wanna be next to you..â
Sonic smiles as he steps closer to Shadow, âRight next to youu..â
âNext to youuu..,â Shadow coos with a slight tilt of his head, taking a tiny step closer as well.
âRight next to youuu..,â they harmonize, Sonicâs hand moving to touch Shadowâs only for Shadow to reach and place his hand on the small of Sonicâs back. Holding him there, he pulls him close so their chests bump together.
Sonic beams at this, face going red as he tosses his head back and lets out a howled, âOoh-Oh!â
And then Shadow is yanking Sonic in as the music reaches its climax, planting a hard and firm kiss on his lips to which the crowd of friends screams and cheers at excitedly. Whistles and applause but all of it is drainage in their ears as they share their kiss. Sonicâs free hand lifts to hold Shadowâs quills tight, fingers curling there as he holds himself to him and feels his heart soaring. Pieces of him mending that have been broken a long time..
Shadow feels whole in that moment. Complete. And not alone for the first time since he can remember..
Itâs euphoric. Itâs cheesy. Itâs straight out of some corny chick flic and neither of them give a damn.
They eventually part a bit reluctantly, Shadowâs eyes staying shut as his forehead presses to Sonicâs with quiet pants for air. Sonicâs eyes open all half-lidded and dopey as he lifts his mic in the small space between them to sing,
âIf the world was ending, Iâd wanna be next to youuuu..â
Shadow smiles at him a bit dopey as well, opening his eyes as he lifts his hand to lock their arms and sing into his own mic, âIf the party was over and our time on earth was throuuuugh..â
âIâd wanna hold you..,â Shadowâs hand lifts to cup Sonicâs cheek, âJust for a while,â Sonicâs head tilts to nuzzle into his palm.
Both of them then tossing their heads back to sing with their whole chest, âAnd diiiiiie with a smile!â
âIf the world was ending, Iâd wanna be nextââ
âTo youuuuuu!â
âIf the world was ending, Iâd wanna be next to you..â
Their foreheads touch again, noses nuzzling as they melt into one another.
âIâd wanna be next to you..â
Their eyes lock as the music fades, Sonicâs grin wider than ever and a soft little smile on Shadowâs own face..
He leans in to kiss him again only to be snapped out of his daze by the wolf whistling and applause their friends teasingly and knowingly give them.
A mix of âabout timeâs and âcongratulationsâ were shouted at them as Shadowâs cheeks heat up beet red,
He turns his head away from them towards the back of the stage, trying to hide from the group. Sonic chuckles at this and moves to crouch slightly and tilt his head up to put himself in Shadowâs line of sight.
His hand moves to squeeze Shadowâs. And Shadow smiles and squeezes it back.
âIn their defense,â Sonic teases with his thumb rubbing The back of Shadowâs hand, finally able to reach him..,
âThat was super gay.â

I'm sorry but in DA2, Cullen looks so...idek
The goatee+short haircut makes him look like he wears clothes 4 sizes too big and unironically puts on JNCOs. He looks like he smokes camel crush cigs and drinks monsters in his 1998 Subaru outback before his part time job at Pizza Hut that he hates
He looks like he steals from the local rite aid and sells local highschool students shitty weed.
I just had this thought after a comment on another post and I can't stop thinking about it
He got a crispy ass hairline though

Vampires hissing is the least cool vampire trait. Looks silly, unnecessary, cartoon-y. If your vampire actor is going to hiss, you better throw in some special effects to monsterize them in that moment, bc if you're just an actor hissing at the camera, I'm gonna laugh at you.
#of course they can hiss#in a goofy vamp movie#i just hate it in the serious shows#ruins the moment#corny#vampires#horror#movies
