I noticed that the blasted thing had picked up all the coding for the words, I promise I'm working on fixing it. Give me a little time. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: All fixed! Enjoy!

The blue hedgehog yawned. He was still in bed half asleep, sprawled out with the blankets and sheets wrapped around him. Shadow lay next to him, his striped arms around Sonic in a loose hug and his head resting on Sonic's chest, the peach fur sticking up around the black hedgehog's muzzle. Sonic knew that the night before, he and all his friends had drank a "bit" for Sonic's 16th birthday.
Shadow mumbled and tightened his grip on the azure teenager, yawning in his sleep. Sonic's turned his aching head, becoming aware that his rear was sore. He could remember drinking, and laughing and especially when Knuckles fell on his face and passed out. He also vaguely remembered Shadow pushing him against the wall...
Memories began slipping back into his mind, hazy, but understandable. Emerald eyes began to widen in shock and partial horror. Shadow's lips connecting with his, the flavor of alcohol seeping into his own mouth. Something hard pushing against his hip, and a warm hand running down his back and along his thigh...
He opened his mouth slightly as the memories became clearer.

He had sex with Shadow last night. Drunken sex yes, but still sex. Shadow snored, attracting the attention of the blue hedgehog, who slowly worked his way out from under his... um... bed-partner.

Well... That's one way to put it... I guess...

Sonic slipped out from under him and managed to sneak half-way out of his room, wincing as his aching rear throbbed with each step, blue paws stepped over littered beer cans and remains of cigarettes that had long since burned out. He bumped into an empty glass bottle, sending it rolling across the room. Sonic froze, looking slowly back. The black hedgehog growled in his sleep, rolling over, gripping the blue hedgehog's pillows tightly. The azure relaxed again, continuing on his way, out the room (closing the door very gently), down the stairs, and into the living room.

"Oh... My... Chaos... What happened to my house!?"

Later that day, After Shadow and everyone else had left, Sonic began to wonder if the ebony hedgehog remembered the previous night. Shadow had gotten up, helped to clean, and did his usual glare-at-everyone-and-make-single worded-responses thing. Sonic had assumed that he did not remember, but now that he ran his mind back over it again, he began to notice subtle things.

When Shadow had emerged from the blue hedgehog's room, he had refused to make eye-contact with with/span span style="font-size: 11pt;"Sonic for about an hour.

When he did start to make eye contact, he looked at him for longer periods of time than usual, when he hardly glanced at the others.

Shadow had given him an extra Advil pill.

Shadow had made him a glass of water.

No one had noticed it, but Shadow had fluffed the throw pillow in Sonic's chair a few minutes before the blue teen had sat in said chair.

A warm feeling spread through Sonic's face, and his eyes widened as he realized that Shadow did remember, and that was why the ebony warrior had given him a bit of special treatment when he woke.

Days passed, Sonic lived life as usual, running around, destroying robots, eating 3 to 4 chili dogs in one sitting, and breaking the sound barrier for the fun of it. Around two months or so later, Sonic began to notice he had put on a little bit of weight, and had a constant companion. Shadow. Shadow was always nearby, no matter what the blue speedster was up to, Shadow followed him like a dog, and this made Sonic curious about the dark hedgehog's intentions.

"Hey Shads, I got a question for ya." Sonic asked one day.

"Yes?" Shadow turned to him, arms crossed in his usual grouchy stance.

Sonic's smirk vanished, "Why are you following me?"

Shadow smirked in return, "I'm just checking up on you." After that party, and the things that came with, I wanted to make sure you weren't hurt."

"Well I'm fine. I appreciate your concern, but you can stop stalking me now. Kinda weirding me out." Sonic blurted out quickly, his face turning red as the ebony life-form reminded him of the previous happenings, "Kinda reminds me of Amy the way you've been following me."

"Don't compare me to that woman, it's demeaning." Shadow grunted, eyeing the blue hedgehog's belly-bump.

Sonic chuckled. "Yeah, sorry, but it's the truth. Stalking is kinda her thing ya know.."

Shadow rolled his eyes, "Whatever. Have you been eating more than usual? I haven't noticed a change in your diet, but you got a bit of-"

"Please don't... Don't go there. I don't know why I've been putting on weight, and I don't like it." Sonic interrupted him, face flushing again. The black hedgehog noticed his discomfort on the topic, and nodded.

"Very well. Are you sure you're alright though?"

"Yeah Shads, I'm fine." Sonic insisted with a smile, previous topic completely forgotten. Shadow smiled slightly in return, pleased that Sonic was alright.
"Alright. Also, Tails wanted me to remind you that he still needed you to go to the store and get him that pack of screws he asked you for."

The blue speedster's smile vanished as the blue hedgehog remembered his task, dashing off in a blur of light blue.

A few weeks passed, with Sonic having (mostly) his privacy returned to him. Now and again, Shadow would return to watch him for a bit, always with a thoughtful expression. Eggman had also been strangely absent after Sonic's 16th birthday.

This concerned the blue speedster. After all, the longer the absence, the bigger the threat he made. The azure decided to go pay him a visit.

"HAHA! You know you can't get me like that!"

"AARG! Get back here hedgehog!" The infamous fat-man bellowed from his Egg-Carrier as a multitude of robots swarmed around his base like bees around a hive.

"If you want me come and get me Baldy McNosehair!" The teen speedster jeered, jumping nimbly over a rocket as it shot at him from one of the larger robots.

"That's not my name and you know it!"

"So what?"

Eggman grit his teeth, pressing a multitude of buttons in this hover thingy, smiling. "Maybe this will teach you to respect your betters!" The human laughed, pressing a big red button. This button activated a robot that resembled an Octopus.

"Sonic, meet Octobot! He is specifically designed to capture you, so you better be ready! Octobot, ATTACK!"
