"Dumb Luck:
Chapter One;
Why Me?"

Shadow woke up in his bedroom, and streched his arms out. He then, rubbed his eyes, and blinked, as his head moved, trying to make them focus on the dull room. Emphasis on dull. His bed sheets were grey, his walls were tan, his desk was black, and his dresser was plain wood, nothing special. The ebony hedgehog yawned, and got out of bed, and heading for the kitchen/dining room, where his coffe was already being brewed.

-- Shadow's POV

My feet ruffled against the cream colored carpet, as I walked through my tan painted living room. I passed the beige couch in front of the coffee table, and small TV.

I entered the white tiled, and white walled kitchen-dining room of my apartment, listening to the coffee maker beep. I opened one of the cobinets, and grebbed a coffee mug; black with a hex symbol on it. I poured myself a cup, gulged down a large sip, and placed the cup on the table, sighing of satisfaction; which is the first I felt, all week.

I spent the last seven days doing agonizing routes. The first four I spent with Rouge, and Omega, fighting off one of Eggman's inventions before it could become public.

The next day was with Silver, who wouldn't stop begging me for help, especially since he knew asking Sonic would be a mistake. He wanted advice on how to get rid of an opponent, for good; seems as though there's someone after Blaze. I spent the whole day explaining, and demonstrating the arts of an assasin, which I knew a fair amount of.

The next day, I was trying to stay under GUN's radar, very easily done, by the way, and trying to get a new gun, seeing as how my machine gun was wrecked. I got a new, and better one, but GUN nearly spotted me with it.

The last day I spent destroying Eggman's spy-droids around the appartment building, big or small, it took all day. It was thirteen minutes to midnight by the time I was finished, and I was about ready to crash on my bed, until the phone rang, and I was completely woken up by a sobbing Amy who was screeching into the phone.

Apparently, Sonic broke the news that he wasn't into her, and now, she's crying to me, a little over ten minutes before midnight, telling me how bad it was. I learned that there's no making Amy wait, when she's upset, so I tried my best to stand it. By the time she hung up, it was ten minutes before 5:00 AM. I went to sleep, immediatly, shutting the light off, same as my alarm clock, seeing as how it was set to go off at five in the morning.

Today was a day to relax, at my home, without any distractions. I looked at the clock: 10:38 AM. It felt good to sleep in, for a change, but I couldn't let it become a habit.

I sat down, and continued to drink my coffee, in peace for two minutes. Two minutes, that felt like forever, until...the phone rang. I was brought out of the peace, and quiet I had to the phone ringing.

I picked it up from the charger it was on, from the counter top; it was Sonic, the reason Amy kept me up last night. I answered it. "What is it, Sonic?" I asked, annoyed that my morning was ruined.

"Hey, Shads! I heard you were back, and wanted to say hi." He claimed, sounding nervous. That's strange, in Sonic's case. "I called you earlier, but you didn't pick up! Decided to sleep in?" He asked. Sonic talking socially, with me, anyways, was a rare occurence.

"Yeah, Amy kept me up, and it was either get ten minutes of sleep, or sleep in." I explained. He was silent; normally, he'd be laughing, right about now. This call had a meaning to it.

"Oh! You heard, huh?" He questioned, the nervousy was still croaked in him, and his voice was hesitant. Since when?

"Yeah, she wouldn't stop crying to me about it." I told him.

He sighed. "I had to end it! Amy isn't someone I'm into, I got my eye on someone else."

"And when Amy figures out who, she's dead!" I thought. "Like who?" I asked, eagerly.

He chuckled. "Like I'm telling you, I've learned better!" Oh, well.

"Anything else you wanna talk about, or are ya done?" I asked.

I heard him sigh, again. "I was wondering if I could hang out with you, today."

Now, I was shocked. Sonic? And me? Hang out? Alone? Ha! Mobius would be dead within the hour. "Uh, why?" I asked him.

I heard him groan, slightly. This sounded personal. "I can't talk about it with you, on the phone, okay!? I need to be in a place spy-droid, and fuzzy, free." Sonic explained.

Now it made some sense. "Alright! You can come! Just don't bring a storm with you!" I said.

"Thanks, Shads! Later!" Sonic hung up, and so did I.

He sounded excited, which was weird. Come to think of it, it was weird he even asked to come over. I had that feeling in my gut that told me I was going to regret my decision.

-- Sonic's POV

I hung up, and squealed of excitement, which is odd for me. I know I'd show up on my own, but this visit wasn't going to be an average one, and I was gonna make sure of it!

I grabbed a quick shower, brushed my teeth, and put on my gloves, and shoes, before racing out the door, to Shadow's place.

-- Shadow's POV

I got a shower, and got my gloves, and shoes on. I was about to face the most agravating days of my immortal life span.

I heard a knock at the door, and walked up to it. I opened the door to see none other, than Sonic. Not in the way I expected, though; his arms were crossed, he was slouching, and looked tense. This was important. "Hey, Sonic!" I said.

Sonic straightened, slightly. "Hey, Shadow!" He said, smiling nervously. "Can I come in?"

Normally, he'd invite himself in, not ask; something was up. "Sure!" I said with an arched eyebrow. I stepped aside, and let him walk in. I shut the door, and turned around to find him sitting on the couch. He made no comment on how the apartment looked like, or how boring it was; he was just sitting, silently, staring down at the floor. I walked up to him. "Something wrong?" I asked.

He looked up at me; his eyes were filled with fear, and discomfort. Not right. Sonic's not like this, easily. He looked down at the floor, again. "I'm not sure if it's possible for you to understand, but I only hopped you could." He started. That gave me curiousity, so I sat down next to him. "I was certain that you wouldn't like, but I needed it off my shoulders, so, when I called, I made it a now or never situation." He explained.

"Why?" I asked.

"Like I said, I couldn't keep it to myself anymore, I had to tell you." Sonic said, looking at me directly. I nodded, showing that I understood. "Remember all those times we fought?" Sonic asked. We only fought because he started something that got me ticked. I nodded, wondering where this was going. "I only started those fights because it was the only way to get your attention on me, and not on anybody else, I didn't mean to get you to hate me." He explained.

Now, it was confusing. "Why did you want my attention?" I asked him.

Sonic looked at me, worry, and fear was placed on his face. "It's hard to explain in words, but..." Sonic leaned on my chest, getting me uncomfortable, and pressed his lips on mine. I sat there, wide-eyed, not knowing how I should react, or why he was doing it. He reverted back, rushedly, much to my relief, but I still didn't get it. "I love you, Shadow the Hedgehog." He admitted.

"Aw, dammit..."

like i said, first yaoi, dont shoot me!
