things are shorter nowadays because I switched to emailing Lunarian instead of writing up replies. Just in case anyone else reads this.
I apologise for the romance scene, it isn’t very good I know. I apologise, please feel free to insult me in reviews *looks around hopefully*. God! I am not good at making Shadow love people, is there some way your supposed to go about it?

Shadow stared at Tails through large unblinking eyes. Tails stared at Shadow with large unblinking eyes. Their lips hadn’t parted, Tails was frozen by fear at what he had done. Shadow was frozen purely because he had no idea what to do next, coupled with the fact he had no idea why Tails wasn’t doing more. Slowly, cautiously so not to frighten the Fox, who was acting like he was a small animal in front of headlights, he moved his lips away and got up off of Tails. Worrying for the kitsune who might have gone catatonic it appeared.
“Tails are you okay?” Tails slowly got up from the floor and Shadow saw he was shaking with tears in his eyes. People rarely cried around him, well that was not strictly true- lots of people cried around him but he very rarely felt the need to intervene with anything else but a gun, so he had no idea how to stop them from doing it. Had Tails not meant to kiss him? He seemed like he had wanted to. “What’s wrong?” He asked a little more harshly than he had intended but then he was worried, had he not done something right?
Tails couldn’t say anything, he was too shocked. That stupid little subconscious voice had told him to kiss Shadow, and he had! Pent up emotions and the confusion of the last few days reached critical point in his little Fox brain and his knees were so shaky that they threatened to fold. The tears pored out like never before and he shut his eyes tightly to hide himself away from the confusing world, he dropped to the floor and curled into a defensive ball. The Hedgehog who watched this grew more confused and concerned, he had no idea what to do about emotional breakdowns. Tails is really upset, what am I supposed to do? I’ve never comforted anyone in my life!
Tails was only just aware of something picking him up and holding him against it, it couldn’t be Shadow. He wouldn’t be caught dead holding someone like that! Tails opened his tear blocked eyes to see black fur in his vision. It is Shadow! Shadow produced a spotless white hanker chief from thin air and wiped the tears away for him, allowing Tails to see the tiniest of tiny smiles on his face. A smile that, for Shadow, meant a thousand of what it was. Tails smiled back at the Hedgehog though his tear stained eyes and managed to calm down.
“Are you okay now?” Shadow’s voice had once again lost the usual gruffness and started to approach caring. Tails nodded at the Hedgehog who released him from his embrace. “Good, now are you going to tell me why you were doing that?” Tails wasn’t sure which “that” he meant.
“You mean the crying and stuff or the…other thing.” He couldn’t even say the word kiss. He just couldn’t!
“If by the other thing you mean when you kissed me then, yes I mean the other thing.” Shadow waited patiently for an explanation, patience was something he did very well.
“Well I…”
“Go on.”
“I, I don’t know!” Tails shouted at him and tried to run off into the forest. He barely got five metres into the trees before Shadow appeared in front of him and even then it took the Hedgehog picking him up from the floor before he stopped running.
“I’m not letting you go without you telling me why you did that.” Tails struggled as much as he possibly could to try and get away from Shadow. He bit him, thrashed his namesakes around, tried to kick him away but the Hedgehog held firm.
“Please Shadow, I don’t want to explain. Just let me go.” He whimpered, totally afraid of what might happen if he told what he thought was the truth. Shadow was more curious than he’d ever been in his life, he needed to know what it was. Patience, he must tell me eventually. Anyway, I hate it when people try to dig where they don’t belong.
“Soon you must tell me, but I will leave you for now.” Shadow had another idea on who to go to explain this, he might not know anything about this kind of thing but he knew that someone did. Without waiting for a reply he disappeared in a flash, to the relief of Tails. Who immediately ran back to his own cabin, closed the curtains and locked himself in.
--------------------------------------
A knock sounded at Sally’s door and she put her book down on the table next to where she was sitting. She played a little mind game before answering it, as a Princess she needed to be a good judge and so had developed a number of little tests for herself. She tried to guess who it was or what they were like by their knock. She knew it wasn’t Sonic, his knock was a rapid succession until someone let him in. Bunnie wasn’t there because hers was usually accompanied by her voice. Tails had his own programmed in loud slow knock for her door especially so he wasn’t knocking. Rotor knocked with his spanner so he wasn’t there and Antoine’s knock always came with “Princiz Sally, are you decént?” - personally she had no idea when she couldn’t be decent, she never wore clothes! No-one seemed to notice her nudism much anyway (except to her annoyance, humans), it just seemed to be a strange little quirk that Antoine had, manners to the extreme.
“Ok, I give up. Whose there?”
“Shadow.” That was a surprise, it was the last thing she had been expecting.
“Come in, I guess.” Shadow walked into the room and stood in front of her. “What’s this about Shadow?” Slightly uncomfortable In his presence without Tails around, although not showing it.
“I wish to speak to you about Tails.”
“What about him?”
“He has been acting…oddly.” That wasn’t exactly news to her but still…
“In what way?” He seemed to be dodging the question ever so slightly, even though he brought it up.
“Well, first he kissed me. Then he curled up into a ball and cried for a bit, tried to run away and struggled and begged me to let him go when I caught him.” KISSED HIM ? Not totally unexpected but she had assumed Shadow would kiss back in some strange absent minded way. She didn’t know if he was gay or not but he did seem to be interested in Tails when he thought no one saw. And then had a breakdown and ran off, sounds bad. “I was wondering, since I have very little experience in this sort of thing, did I do something to upset him?” He almost sounded nervous, so he can feel emotions after all. Oh well, I owe Bunnie twelve Mobian Dollars.
“Is he okay?”
“I believe so, he went back to his hut though.” Shadow explained to Princess Sally exactly what had happened and she could see how he could get a bit confused. Tails didn’t seem to make much sense even to her, and Shadow didn’t seem to have very good people skills.
“ I don’t think you did anything to upset him Shadow, I think he upset himself.” Shadow didn’t really understand this.
“What do you mean upset himself?”
“Tails is kind of confused about what he…what he wants at the moment. He was just letting out all of his trapped emotions. Its pretty normal.” Again Shadow didn’t really understand her.
“If he wants something why doesn’t he just get it? If he really wants something I could go get it for him.” For all his talents Sally saw that this kind of thing was definitely not one of them.
“It is probably best that you don’t know for now Shadow, I’ll speak to Tails. I think I can help sort him out. Don’t worry.”
“I never worry. I am the Ultimate Lifeform.” Sally smiled, for all the differences Shadow and Sonic were very similar in some ways. Sonic had his massive ego, Shadow had his abundance of arrogance.
“Sure you don’t, that’s why you just came to me to talk about relationships.” She regretted saying it as soon as it came out of her mouth, it would probably just confuse Shadow more.
“Relationships? Now what are you talking about?”
“Nothing Shadow, but before you go I want to ask you something. Since your obviously a very philosophical and intellige-”He cut off the faked flattery she had been using to try and get him to answer.
“Enough, what is the question Princess?” Oh well, time to ask. If he doesn’t get a small hint from this then he must be either naïve, stupid or just very, very detached from normal creatures.
“Well, a close friend of mine thinks he might be gay. I was wondering where you stand on it.”
“Stand on what?”
“I mean what do you think of gays?” She really, really hoped he answered this. She needed some way of knowing if Tails was about to have his heart broken or not.
“They can do what they like, its not my business.”
“Great Shads, that really amazingly useful to me.” She draped her voice in as much sarcasm as she could. That answers nothing, I still don’t know if he’s gay or not.
“Don’t call me Shads, my name is Shadow. Not Shads.” The last part if this was a growl and she wondered why that got to him so much of all things.
“Okay Shadow, anyway I’ll go talk to Tails. Where will you be if I need you?”
“Around.” He disappeared in a flash leaving an annoyed princess to swear under her breath. I might need him after I talk to Tails, or Tails might need him even.
----------------------------------
The Fox’s room was dark from the shut curtains and he was crying into his pillow, letting out more of the emotions that his small Fox body couldn’t contain. First he had kissed Shadow, then just when the Hedgehog had been at his most caring mood ever he had actually run! He had struggled and hit him too, even biting him. Was he that stupid, that ashamed of himself that he couldn’t admit it, he loved Shadow. He knew it was true like he knew he had two tails. And what had he done ? Hurt him.
A knock at the door brought Tails from his self-pity and made him swear through his tear choked throat.
“I heard that Tails.” Sally’s voice came through the wood. “Just because your upset doesn’t mean you can swear. Now let me in.”
“No.” He choked out, lifting his head from the damp pillow.
“Let me in Tails, now.” The last bit was a command and Tails trudged to unlock the door before lying back down on his bed. “Now Tails!”
“Its open.” She hadn’t realised it was unlocked and she opened it to confront the mess that was currently her adoptive son, the darkness didn’t surprise her. Closing the curtains and making it as dark as possible was natural for Mobians when very sad or depressed, a small amount of tissue was even jammed under the door to stop light coming in that way. Something about the Mobian psyche told them to go to the dark when upset. She wondered if Humans ever did the same. She sat on the bed near Tails.
“First of don’t worry, Shadow explained to me what happened.” She thought she heard Tails whimper from the pillow he was hiding his face in. She put an arm on his head and stroked it, trying to comfort the depressed kitsune. “It’s not that bad, you only ran off and tried to get away when he caught you.”
“Did he - tell - you how - I tried to get - away?” His voice was broken between sobs. Shadow had been awfully vague on that point, now that she thought about it.
“How?” She waited for whatever was making Tails upset.
“He trie -d to help - me and I - hit him!” There was another load of sobs and it was a while before he spoke again. “I - bit him - and use -d my tails - to try - and get - him off!”
“Well I really don’t think you hurt him Tails.” The Fox looked up and she saw his red eyes and tear-soaked cheeks. “He was designed to destroy armies, I doubt that anything you did could really harm him, and he came straight to me afterwards. To ask about you. I don’t think being mad at you ever even crossed his mind.” In some ways Tails was glad, in another way this made him feel worse. He had hurt the Hedgehog and Shadow didn’t even care, he just forgave him like that. It made the Fox feel even more guilty. Sally took advantage of Tails deep thought to grab him in a hug, allowing the Fox’s slightly reduced flow of tears to soak her shoulder. When he spoke next the sobs had gone.
“What should I do Aunt Sally?” He said into her shoulder.
“I’ll tell you what you’ll do, you are going to go find your strange friend and you are going to tell him how you feel.”
“But what if he doesn’t like me back? He might leave and never go back.” His voice was full of fear at this, it would be awful if he drove Shadow away.
“Trust me Tails, he won’t go anywhere. I don’t know exactly how he feels about you, but I know he cares a lot. He listens to you even if it goes against what he wants, he does what he thinks will make you happy, he protects you. If that isn’t something more than ordinary friendship then Robotnik’s a Hedgehog’s uncle.”
“Actually it’s the other way round.” Tails told her, smiling slightly now through the tears that had almost stopped.
“What do you mean?”
“Shadow is Eggman’s uncle, he said so himself.”
“So you realise that if you two go together, then Julian will almost be in our family.” Tails had definitely cheered up now that the two were joking with the idea.
“Imagine Eggman’s reaction, that will be almost as bad as Sonic’s!” Tails had a realisation at that.
“Aunt Sally, could you not tell Sonic about this? I don’t really want him finding out.”
“You’ll have to tell him eventually.”
“I know, just not now.”
-------------------------------------
Shadow was doing what he enjoyed most of all, thinking. He had come here after a short teleport to a library in Station Square and looking up some information he was sure would come in handy when he next met Tails.
He was leaning against a tree on the edge of a small cliff, looking over the great forest and thinking about Tails, about Maria, about his mission to destroy the Humans. Mainly about the strange contradictions that were in his mind. The longer he spent thinking the more it seemed to be unrealistic, that Maria- a girl who was kind to everything, even him- would ask him to destroy the Humans as her last wish was, quite frankly, ridiculous. He would still do it, he had promised and he definitely wanted to. But he couldn’t help having the feeling that she wouldn’t like his plan.
And Tails most certainly wouldn’t take the genocide well, but he had promised her and his promises were unbreakable. The fact that it was Maria only added to the strength of the promise. Memories also troubled him, they weren’t in the right places. Or more often just not right. He had a few that he was sure of and many that he thought had been dulled down or even possibly made up or at least inaccurate. Perhaps GUN had been screwing around in there? No, that was impossible. They couldn’t do that if they tried, they were idiots! Besides, they would have to hack into his mind. Through hundreds of codes, quizzes about the ARK, questions about himself and Maria. The only person who could have done that , could have known that was the designer. Professor Gerald.
He wouldn’t, would he? Shadow knew he had been in the Professor’s company for a short while, long enough to do a little programming? Was that even a bad thing? He was his creation, should he not obey? So many questions and so little answers. All that was clear to Shadow was this, his mind was not to be trusted. Gerald was like him, he always had a back-up plan. If he did alter his memories to make him think Maria wanted something else then he had another trick to get the job done. Despite himself Shadow smiled slightly at the memories that he did have for certain, he loved that old scientist. He was the only person he ever really admired, Maria he loved but didn’t always agree with, Gerald was his type of person. Manipulative, intelligent, cunning and willing to do anything to reach his goal. To try and save Maria he had built the ARK to be sterile from the germs that could destroy her weakened body, he had tricked the government as to his true objectives, he had spent huge amounts of money and compromised as to Project Shadow actually was. Shadow knew very well that originally he had been intended simply to be immortal, but GUN had wanted a weapon and Gerald had wanted something to defend the ARK. As well as encourage more funding.
The result: Immortal life. All for Maria- the relatively insignificant girl in the world, the effects of her weak life spreading out through the universe like ripples on a pond. Sometimes he felt he could almost feel her, so close in his mind. If she had been taken away she had to be avenged! His mind was concluded once again. Someone was going to pay for her death, if not the Human race then at least GUN.
“SHAADOOW!!!” Tails’ voice broke him out of his thoughts and he tried to listen for his location. The Fox came out of the tree line near him, showing him how deep in thought he had been that he had gotten so close. “There you are Shadow, I’ve been looking for you.” Although he was certainly better than before he still seemed nervous, he had something to say.
Tails walked into the light next to him and stood by the tree, the sun had just began to go down and the orange light washed over the Kitsune’s fur. Combined orange glowing like a Mobian shaped lamp whilst Shadow‘s fur simply absorbed the light, making him as black as ever. Why was it only the most innocent creatures cared for him? And vice versa. He knew he cared for the young Fox a lot, why was something that truly escaped him but he did.
“Are you going to tell me what was wrong now?” He spoke in the most caring voice he could manage without throwing up. Not much of an achievement but he was making effort.
“Kind of, but you know you said you always keep a promise?” This intrigued Shadow, why was he bringing this up?
“Yes, what of it?”
“I want you to promise me something. I want you to promise me no matter what you will always be around. That even if what I say disgusts you, you won’t go.” Whatever Tails was about to say he was nervous and looking at the floor for some reason, like he couldn’t face him. Shadow moved his hand to the Fox’s chin and brought his head up to look him in the eyes, Tails saw the same peaceful look Shadow had when he was asleep.
“I promise Tails, nothing could possibly make me abandon you. I care about you too much, now what is so horrifying that you can’t tell me without running off?”
“I…love…you.” He told him quietly. “I just do, at first I thought it was just some crush but then there was the dreams and the kiss and the teleports an-” Shadow stopped Tails’ rambling with a finger placed on his lips. Tails looked at him fearfully and continued, worrying that he had scared away Shadow. “Just don’t send me away, don’t go anywhere. Even if you don’t care back.”
“Tails, I would never leave you no matter what.” Shadows voice contained nothing but warmth, and Tails had a hard time believing it was the same person talking. “The truth is, I feel the same.”
“You do!” His voice was full of joy at the admission by the usually dark and angst hedgehog.
“Yes Tails, I have felt it since I rescued you that I cared deeply about you. I am unsure why I do, but I love you more than anything else that exists today.” Exists today Tails heard that part and ignored it for later, instead taking pleasure in the waves of relief that flooded over him now that the two had admitted their feelings to each other. He almost felt light-headed!
“So, it doesn’t bother you that we’re both…you know, guys?” Shadow didn’t speak, instead he looked at the Fox, smiled very briefly again and leant in. Tails was treated to a gentle kiss on the lips, the very touch made his nerves scream for more and Shadow knew it. Tails heart sped up at what was his first “real” kiss and he was immediately hungry for more. When Shadow moved back he was smirking.
“What do you think Fox-boy?” He asked the Fox. Tails smiled mischievously back at him.
“I think it doesn’t and I think I want some more.” It wasn’t hard to hear the seductive tone of voice that Tails was using.
“I bet you do, I did a bit of research earlier. Among other things I looked up Kitsunes. Apparently the Kitsune is well known for being a great lover.” Aunt Sally never told me that! I hope I live up to that reputation.
“Lets test that shall we?”
Without waiting for Shadow to kiss him again Tails pushed the Hedgehog against the tree and pressed his body against him, allowing his lips to do the thinking he kissed Shadow. It was good but it just left him wanting more. He had gone for too long denying his feelings and needed to feel Shadow against him.
“Very eager aren’t you?” Shadow’s remark made Tails blush wildly and he realised that he had been kissing Shadow a bit more forcefully than the Hedgehog had done. Shadow took advantage of this momentary stop to move Tails to the ground, placing himself above him looking down on the still bright red Fox. “Now, I think we were about here when you left.” It was true, the only difference was that Tails didn’t have his arms pinned down. Shadow didn’t wait for a reply and engaged his younger lover in a deep kiss, moving his tongue against Tails’ lips until the moaning Fox parted them. Allowing Shadow to plunder his virgin mouth, exploring it and entwining his tongue around the Kitsune’s own, slightly less active one. Tails was in heaven as each move of the welcome intruder sent sparks up his body and he forced his own tongue to explore his new lovers mouth. It tasted vaguely of honey and a small amount of cinnamon.
Tails actually managed to summon the will power to briefly halt the wonderful activity and move Shadow off of him with his powerful namesakes. Rolling him over onto his back. When he looked at Tails for an explanation the Fox smiled cheekily at him.
“Now I can’t let you take complete control can I?” With that Tails leapt on top of the Hedgehog and took his place, once again moving in to kiss him deeply. His smaller chest pressing against the firm, powerful one. Shadows arms encircled his back whilst Tails’ namesakes fluffed up and covered the couple in warm Fox-scented fur. All this activity had not gone unnoticed by the Kitsune’s lower half. Which was currently standing to attention and to his embarrassment, was easily noticeable through his sheath to the Ultimate Lifeform lying underneath him. Shadow disengaged from the kiss and smirked again.
“Watch where your pointing that Tails, it could poke my eye out.”
“I’ll make sure my aim is a little bit down from your eye.” He shot back smiling, although where the erotic innuendo had come from who knew.
“My, my. I’ll have to tell the princess about this. Barely 10 minutes since our first kiss and your suggesting we do that? She obviously didn’t bring you up right.” Tails wondered if he would tell Sally, he would certainly find it amusing to do so. Moments after he said this however he brought his hand down underneath the Fox and brushed a finger up Tails’ sheath, making Tails shiver with pleasure. However he didn’t carry on “stimulating” Tails, growing impatient he took Shadow’s hand and guided it back to the sensitive flesh, where Shadow simply stroked it up and down a few times and stopped again.
“Your not going to deny me my first time with someone are you?” He asked seductively, but Shadow certainly wasn’t going to do that with him, yet.
“Tails, somehow. I don’t think that in years to come, the thought that you lost your virginity on a hill in the forest, 15 minutes into a relationship will be one of your fondest memories.” He said as they exchanged more kisses.
“I’ll get over it.” Tails saw his point though, he was moving a little bit too fast and he doubted that Sally would ever forgive him if this happened now.
“Well I won’t, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun.” He rolled over so he was once again over Tails, growling playfully.
“When did you get so affectionate?”
“When did you get so horny?” Shadow brought his hand up to massage Tails’ ears, which according to his research on Fox biology, were extremely sensitive. As were his namesakes, nose and several specific points on his back and spine. Each Mobian species had different points that were extra sensitive, some were even shared between them. And Shadow’s hands were, despite their enormous strength and more common use, like a pianist’s.
Tails’ moans echoed out into the forest as the Hedgehog went to work.
---------------------------------------------
Sonic noticed that he hadn’t seen his little buddy for more than a day and now that he remembered couldn’t find him. It was getting dark and he wasn’t in his hut. Racing around Knothole he still took time to admire the village on a cool night. The cloudless sky showed off its stars and moon like so many diamonds surrounding a huge pearl. Some villagers were still about, especially the night-faring species, and the cool night breeze ruffled the grass. He had lived here for most of his life and whilst Sally was adamant that they restore Mobotropilis to its former glory Sonic often wondered if he’d rather live here than in a city. He had only been to Station Square once and he had liked it but would he ever want to live their? It had seemed a bit busy, he liked the night life but not all the time.
Sonic reached the Sally’s hut, slightly larger than the others and with a bigger bed but otherwise the same. The light was still on and no doubt she was still up talking to Bunnie, it wasn’t that late yet. He knocked at the door repeatedly until Sally’s called out.
“Come in Sonic.” He was always amazed that she knew it was him. He stepped inside and found Sally and Bunnie on her bed reading girly magazines with titles like “Mobian Fashions” “Fur and Fabric” or “Hot Furry” and, for some reason that he had the sneaking suspicion had to do with a certain Bunny he knew, “Exotic & Erotic (Which costume is right for your boyfriend?)”. Why either of them read these he couldn’t figure out, Sally was a nudist and Bunnie only ever wore her leotard (because in her own words “It shows of my cute lil’ Bunny curves and its quick to get off”).
“What’s wrong Sugah-Hog?” The Rabbit asked, looking up from something he could only assume was for Antoine.
“Yeah you look worried.”
“Have either of you seen Tails? Only its getting kind of dark out and he isn’t in his hut.” Sally had last seen him when they had talked about the kiss, but she didn’t dare tell him that.
“I think he went somewhere with Shadow.” She settled for that. “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.” Secretly though she was worried. If they hadn’t got back by now who knew what had happened, either it had gone very badly and Tails was hiding somewhere or….they were getting intimate! She didn’t know what to think, part of her wanted Tails to find someone to love. The other was horrified at the age that her adoptive son might be losing his…innocence.
“That’s supposed to make me feel better? That he is out at night, with a Military Super-weapon?”
“Relax Sugah-hog, there probably out in the forest. Exploring each other.” Sonic’s mind automatically added in the “with” in order to take the sentence away from the ones that would creep him out. Sally shot Bunnie a look that told her to be quiet and she held her hand over her mouth to stop herself giggling.
“But Robotnik could’ve captured them, you know he has Buzz-Bots that go around in the forest.” Buzz-Bots were large wasp shaped robots with lasers on their stingers, they were generally used as air-support and patrolling the Great Forest. Where they would seek out Freedom Fighters, kill or stun them with the laser and bring them for Roboticisation if they survived. Sally knew she had to get Sonic away somehow or he‘d start looking, if he did find Tails and the Fox was having “fun” with Shadow then he’d probably have a nervous breakdown. Luckily for her Sonic tended to forget about things provided he was given something else to do.
“Tell you what Sonic, I have this data-disc to give to Sir Charles.” She took out the disc-case from her dresser and gave it to her boyfriend. It basically contained future battle plans, progress with the de-roboticiser, village news which the metal Mobian liked to keep up on and general questions and other information for the Robian which she didn’t like to send over the com system in case Julian picked up the increased data-flow. “Take it to him, retrieve anything that he wants to give to us and ask him If anyone has been captured. If they haven’t then Tails is with Shadow and perfectly safe.”
“Okay Sal.” He was only too happy to visit his uncle and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before running out of the door. As soon as he had gone Sally got up and prepared to go out.
“Where you going Sally-girl?”
“I’m going to find Tails Bunnie. Who knows what he’s doing.”
“Good idea, I’ll stay here and pick out a good costume for him. Can’t have him having sex without some leather.”
-----------------------------------------------
That twisted Rabbit, the worst thing is I don’t know if she’s joking or seriously believes that! Something tells me I don’t want to know. Sally was walking through the Forest in the direction she was fairly sure Shadow and Tails were, although her own nose was not on par with a Fox’s it was still pretty good. Combined with Nicole’s sensors she was sure she could find the two.
“Detecting two bio-signs up ahead Sally.” The calculator sized piece of equipment told her.
“Thanks Nicole.” Sally walked up through the trees until she came to a clearing on the edge of a small cliff which overlooked a good portion of the Great Forest. The clearing was covered in soft grass and had a medium sized tree in the middle, just in the right position to sit against and look at the view. “I recognize this place, Sonic brought me up here for our first kiss.” Indeed, carved on the tree were the words “Sally + Sonic 4Ever”. She rounded the tree and braced herself to see her worst fears.
“Greetings Princess.” Shadow looked up to see the Mobian chipmunk/squirrel hybrid walk into view with her eyes tightly shut.
“Are you two…decent?” She asked, still not looking.
“Yes.” Did everyone expect him to have sex with Tails? She opened her eyes and relief flooded in when she saw them. Shadow was holding Tails in his arms and the Fox was asleep with his head against Shadow’s chest, his face buried in the white fur and his namesakes being used as blankets by the both of them. Shadow’s arms surrounded Tails protectively and all in all they looked the picture of the perfect couple.
“Nicole, take a picture of this will you.” She held up the computer and the sound of a shutter closing was heard. Much to Shadow’s annoyance that she had evidence that he could be nice. She was smiling at the look on his face, mainly because he couldn’t get up without waking Tails.
“If Tails wasn’t here I would rip that machines memory out.”
“Well sadly he is here isn’t he you big softy. Anyway, you should wake him up and come back to the village before people get suspicious.” Shadow instead opted to get up with Tails still in his arms and carry him as he walked back with Sally. “You know. If you don’t want people to find out about this it would be best to put him down when we get to the village.” Luckily the problem was solved when Tails woke up by himself and asked to be put down.
“So I guess you saw us Aunt Sally.” The Fox asked after he had woken up fully.
“Yes, in fact I got a picture.”
“Which I will shortly destroy.” Shadow added in.
“You can’t do that! A mother needs to have her souvenirs. And this will keep me laughing until I’m in my sixties.”
“If you last that long.” Shadow said under his breath.
“Yeah, yeah. You say that but I know your just a big softy underneath, isn‘t that right Tails?” Tails smiled involuntarily at the idea.
“That’s right. He’s so kind and cuddly.” His voice could barely contain the laughs within it as he made himself sound like he was a five year old. Shadow growled at them to be quiet and they did. As long as you counted stifled laughing as quiet. Despite this Shadow couldn’t help but feel strangely happy. He was in love. To get his own back on Tails he decided to embarrass him a bit.
“Well, I’d prefer cuddly to perverted. Isn’t that right Tails?” The Fox’s face went white and he stopped walking briefly before recovering and attempting to act normal.
“I don’t know what you mean Shadow.” Sally was suspicious of her adoptive son, what was he hiding?
“Surely you remember. Quite an odd idea of a good time he has Princess Acorn.”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh look! Were at the village already.” Tails burst in and tried to shut him up. It was true though, they had arrived back at Knothole and Shadow got to see it at night. He preferred it to the day version. This one had almost no-one around and was almost silent, his ideal place.
“Well you took your time Psycho.” Shadow’s mood instantly dived, leaving the annoying voice to vibrate in his head slowly driving him insane. “Where were you Tails?” The Fox was adamant not to let Sonic know the truth, however he felt for Shadow he couldn’t take the thought that Sonic would be ashamed off him.
“Shadow and I…went and… looked for robots in the forest.” Shadow realised that Tails didn’t want Sonic to know and played along with significantly better lying.
“Tails managed to destroy four patrol droids. Although obviously he couldn’t compare to me.” Tails was drawn between relief that Shadow wasn’t letting on and guilt that he was denying his love for the ebony Hedgehog.
“Good job Tails, one day you may be as good a hero as me.” That earned an amused snort from Shadow. “But its getting late, you should get to bed.” Tails was so relieved he didn’t argue and after saying his goodnights he walked off to his hut with Shadow.
-------------------------------
Everyone’s favourite sociopath Hedgehog lay down in his bed, in truth he wasn’t very tired physically but mentally he needed time to stop thinking. Tails was running threw his head now, as well as his mission and Maria. He was disturbed to find that the thought that he might be replacing Maria with the Fox hadn’t even crossed his mind. Was that good? He said goodnight to Tails and turned off the light on his bedside, ready to sleep. However Tails had other ideas.
After about twenty minutes the sly Fox snuck across the darkened room to Shadow’s bed and gently lifted the covers on one side. It was a fairly small bed to be honest, most of the time in Knothole people were fine with standard sized beds unless they were a couple and so wanted to sleep together a lot. In which case they usually pushed two together two normal ones, got someone to make a bigger one or ordered one from Station Square and paid Tails to go pick it up in his plane. Still Tails climbed in and put his arms around the Hedgehog. Nuzzling into the sleeping Mobian’s side and holding him closely like he had wanted to for too long.
“What would your mother say?” The supposedly sleeping Hedgehog whispered to him.
“Knowing Aunt Sally probably “I’ll get the camera” He whispered back enjoying the warmth of another body pressed against his, feeling Shadow’s surprisingly soft and silky fur against his own and breathing in his scent heavily.

Tha t’s sooo cute! I’m sorry for the romance scene I really do, it was awful. And to anyone who thought they would have sex then your perverts. They have only known their love for a day, and although Tails wants to Shadow I don’t see as that kind of guy. Im looking at you Lunarian, I know what you were thinking.

Shadow stared at Tails through large unblinking eyes. Tails stared at Shadow with large unblinking eyes. Their lips hadn’t parted, Tails was frozen by fear at what he had done. Shadow was frozen purely because he had no idea what to do next, coupled with the fact he had no idea why Tails wasn’t doing more. Slowly, cautiously so not to frighten the Fox, who was acting like he was a small animal in front of headlights, he moved his lips away and got up off of Tails. Worrying for the kitsune who might have gone catatonic it appeared.
“Tails are you okay?” Tails slowly got up from the floor and Shadow saw he was shaking with tears in his eyes. People rarely cried around him, well that was not strictly true- lots of people cried around him but he very rarely felt the need to intervene with anything else but a gun, so he had no idea how to stop them from doing it. Had Tails not meant to kiss him? He seemed like he had wanted to. “What’s wrong?” He asked a little more harshly than he had intended but then he was worried, had he not done something right?
Tails couldn’t say anything, he was too shocked. That stupid little subconscious voice had told him to kiss Shadow, and he had! Pent up emotions and the confusion of the last few days reached critical point in his little Fox brain and his knees were so shaky that they threatened to fold. The tears pored out like never before and he shut his eyes tightly to hide himself away from the confusing world, he dropped to the floor and curled into a defensive ball. The Hedgehog who watched this grew more confused and concerned, he had no idea what to do about emotional breakdowns. Tails is really upset, what am I supposed to do? I’ve never comforted anyone in my life!
Tails was only just aware of something picking him up and holding him against it, it couldn’t be Shadow. He wouldn’t be caught dead holding someone like that! Tails opened his tear blocked eyes to see black fur in his vision. It is Shadow! Shadow produced a spotless white hanker chief from thin air and wiped the tears away for him, allowing Tails to see the tiniest of tiny smiles on his face. A smile that, for Shadow, meant a thousand of what it was. Tails smiled back at the Hedgehog though his tear stained eyes and managed to calm down.
“Are you okay now?” Shadow’s voice had once again lost the usual gruffness and started to approach caring. Tails nodded at the Hedgehog who released him from his embrace. “Good, now are you going to tell me why you were doing that?” Tails wasn’t sure which “that” he meant.
“You mean the crying and stuff or the…other thing.” He couldn’t even say the word kiss. He just couldn’t!
“If by the other thing you mean when you kissed me then, yes I mean the other thing.” Shadow waited patiently for an explanation, patience was something he did very well.
“Well I…”
“Go on.”
“I, I don’t know!” Tails shouted at him and tried to run off into the forest. He barely got five metres into the trees before Shadow appeared in front of him and even then it took the Hedgehog picking him up from the floor before he stopped running.
“I’m not letting you go without you telling me why you did that.” Tails struggled as much as he possibly could to try and get away from Shadow. He bit him, thrashed his namesakes around, tried to kick him away but the Hedgehog held firm.
“Please Shadow, I don’t want to explain. Just let me go.” He whimpered, totally afraid of what might happen if he told what he thought was the truth. Shadow was more curious than he’d ever been in his life, he needed to know what it was. Patience, he must tell me eventually. Anyway, I hate it when people try to dig where they don’t belong.
“Soon you must tell me, but I will leave you for now.” Shadow had another idea on who to go to explain this, he might not know anything about this kind of thing but he knew that someone did. Without waiting for a reply he disappeared in a flash, to the relief of Tails. Who immediately ran back to his own cabin, closed the curtains and locked himself in.
--------------------------------------
A knock sounded at Sally’s door and she put her book down on the table next to where she was sitting. She played a little mind game before answering it, as a Princess she needed to be a good judge and so had developed a number of little tests for herself. She tried to guess who it was or what they were like by their knock. She knew it wasn’t Sonic, his knock was a rapid succession until someone let him in. Bunnie wasn’t there because hers was usually accompanied by her voice. Tails had his own programmed in loud slow knock for her door especially so he wasn’t knocking. Rotor knocked with his spanner so he wasn’t there and Antoine’s knock always came with “Princiz Sally, are you decént?” - personally she had no idea when she couldn’t be decent, she never wore clothes! No-one seemed to notice her nudism much anyway (except to her annoyance, humans), it just seemed to be a strange little quirk that Antoine had, manners to the extreme.
“Ok, I give up. Whose there?”
“Shadow.” That was a surprise, it was the last thing she had been expecting.
“Come in, I guess.” Shadow walked into the room and stood in front of her. “What’s this about Shadow?” Slightly uncomfortable In his presence without Tails around, although not showing it.
“I wish to speak to you about Tails.”
“What about him?”
“He has been acting…oddly.” That wasn’t exactly news to her but still…
“In what way?” He seemed to be dodging the question ever so slightly, even though he brought it up.
“Well, first he kissed me. Then he curled up into a ball and cried for a bit, tried to run away and struggled and begged me to let him go when I caught him.” KISSED HIM ? Not totally unexpected but she had assumed Shadow would kiss back in some strange absent minded way. She didn’t know if he was gay or not but he did seem to be interested in Tails when he thought no one saw. And then had a breakdown and ran off, sounds bad. “I was wondering, since I have very little experience in this sort of thing, did I do something to upset him?” He almost sounded nervous, so he can feel emotions after all. Oh well, I owe Bunnie twelve Mobian Dollars.
“Is he okay?”
“I believe so, he went back to his hut though.” Shadow explained to Princess Sally exactly what had happened and she could see how he could get a bit confused. Tails didn’t seem to make much sense even to her, and Shadow didn’t seem to have very good people skills.
“ I don’t think you did anything to upset him Shadow, I think he upset himself.” Shadow didn’t really understand this.
“What do you mean upset himself?”
“Tails is kind of confused about what he…what he wants at the moment. He was just letting out all of his trapped emotions. Its pretty normal.” Again Shadow didn’t really understand her.
“If he wants something why doesn’t he just get it? If he really wants something I could go get it for him.” For all his talents Sally saw that this kind of thing was definitely not one of them.
“It is probably best that you don’t know for now Shadow, I’ll speak to Tails. I think I can help sort him out. Don’t worry.”
“I never worry. I am the Ultimate Lifeform.” Sally smiled, for all the differences Shadow and Sonic were very similar in some ways. Sonic had his massive ego, Shadow had his abundance of arrogance.
“Sure you don’t, that’s why you just came to me to talk about relationships.” She regretted saying it as soon as it came out of her mouth, it would probably just confuse Shadow more.
“Relationships? Now what are you talking about?”
“Nothing Shadow, but before you go I want to ask you something. Since your obviously a very philosophical and intellige-”He cut off the faked flattery she had been using to try and get him to answer.
“Enough, what is the question Princess?” Oh well, time to ask. If he doesn’t get a small hint from this then he must be either naïve, stupid or just very, very detached from normal creatures.
“Well, a close friend of mine thinks he might be gay. I was wondering where you stand on it.”
“Stand on what?”
“I mean what do you think of gays?” She really, really hoped he answered this. She needed some way of knowing if Tails was about to have his heart broken or not.
“They can do what they like, its not my business.”
“Great Shads, that really amazingly useful to me.” She draped her voice in as much sarcasm as she could. That answers nothing, I still don’t know if he’s gay or not.
“Don’t call me Shads, my name is Shadow. Not Shads.” The last part if this was a growl and she wondered why that got to him so much of all things.
“Okay Shadow, anyway I’ll go talk to Tails. Where will you be if I need you?”
“Around.” He disappeared in a flash leaving an annoyed princess to swear under her breath. I might need him after I talk to Tails, or Tails might need him even.
----------------------------------
The Fox’s room was dark from the shut curtains and he was crying into his pillow, letting out more of the emotions that his small Fox body couldn’t contain. First he had kissed Shadow, then just when the Hedgehog had been at his most caring mood ever he had actually run! He had struggled and hit him too, even biting him. Was he that stupid, that ashamed of himself that he couldn’t admit it, he loved Shadow. He knew it was true like he knew he had two tails. And what had he done ? Hurt him.
A knock at the door brought Tails from his self-pity and made him swear through his tear choked throat.
“I heard that Tails.” Sally’s voice came through the wood. “Just because your upset doesn’t mean you can swear. Now let me in.”
“No.” He choked out, lifting his head from the damp pillow.
“Let me in Tails, now.” The last bit was a command and Tails trudged to unlock the door before lying back down on his bed. “Now Tails!”
“Its open.” She hadn’t realised it was unlocked and she opened it to confront the mess that was currently her adoptive son, the darkness didn’t surprise her. Closing the curtains and making it as dark as possible was natural for Mobians when very sad or depressed, a small amount of tissue was even jammed under the door to stop light coming in that way. Something about the Mobian psyche told them to go to the dark when upset. She wondered if Humans ever did the same. She sat on the bed near Tails.
“First of don’t worry, Shadow explained to me what happened.” She thought she heard Tails whimper from the pillow he was hiding his face in. She put an arm on his head and stroked it, trying to comfort the depressed kitsune. “It’s not that bad, you only ran off and tried to get away when he caught you.”
“Did he - tell - you how - I tried to get - away?” His voice was broken between sobs. Shadow had been awfully vague on that point, now that she thought about it.
“How?” She waited for whatever was making Tails upset.
“He trie -d to help - me and I - hit him!” There was another load of sobs and it was a while before he spoke again. “I - bit him - and use -d my tails - to try - and get - him off!”
“Well I really don’t think you hurt him Tails.” The Fox looked up and she saw his red eyes and tear-soaked cheeks. “He was designed to destroy armies, I doubt that anything you did could really harm him, and he came straight to me afterwards. To ask about you. I don’t think being mad at you ever even crossed his mind.” In some ways Tails was glad, in another way this made him feel worse. He had hurt the Hedgehog and Shadow didn’t even care, he just forgave him like that. It made the Fox feel even more guilty. Sally took advantage of Tails deep thought to grab him in a hug, allowing the Fox’s slightly reduced flow of tears to soak her shoulder. When he spoke next the sobs had gone.
“What should I do Aunt Sally?” He said into her shoulder.
“I’ll tell you what you’ll do, you are going to go find your strange friend and you are going to tell him how you feel.”
“But what if he doesn’t like me back? He might leave and never go back.” His voice was full of fear at this, it would be awful if he drove Shadow away.
“Trust me Tails, he won’t go anywhere. I don’t know exactly how he feels about you, but I know he cares a lot. He listens to you even if it goes against what he wants, he does what he thinks will make you happy, he protects you. If that isn’t something more than ordinary friendship then Robotnik’s a Hedgehog’s uncle.”
“Actually it’s the other way round.” Tails told her, smiling slightly now through the tears that had almost stopped.
“What do you mean?”
“Shadow is Eggman’s uncle, he said so himself.”
“So you realise that if you two go together, then Julian will almost be in our family.” Tails had definitely cheered up now that the two were joking with the idea.
“Imagine Eggman’s reaction, that will be almost as bad as Sonic’s!” Tails had a realisation at that.
“Aunt Sally, could you not tell Sonic about this? I don’t really want him finding out.”
“You’ll have to tell him eventually.”
“I know, just not now.”
-------------------------------------
Shadow was doing what he enjoyed most of all, thinking. He had come here after a short teleport to a library in Station Square and looking up some information he was sure would come in handy when he next met Tails.
He was leaning against a tree on the edge of a small cliff, looking over the great forest and thinking about Tails, about Maria, about his mission to destroy the Humans. Mainly about the strange contradictions that were in his mind. The longer he spent thinking the more it seemed to be unrealistic, that Maria- a girl who was kind to everything, even him- would ask him to destroy the Humans as her last wish was, quite frankly, ridiculous. He would still do it, he had promised and he definitely wanted to. But he couldn’t help having the feeling that she wouldn’t like his plan.
And Tails most certainly wouldn’t take the genocide well, but he had promised her and his promises were unbreakable. The fact that it was Maria only added to the strength of the promise. Memories also troubled him, they weren’t in the right places. Or more often just not right. He had a few that he was sure of and many that he thought had been dulled down or even possibly made up or at least inaccurate. Perhaps GUN had been screwing around in there? No, that was impossible. They couldn’t do that if they tried, they were idiots! Besides, they would have to hack into his mind. Through hundreds of codes, quizzes about the ARK, questions about himself and Maria. The only person who could have done that , could have known that was the designer. Professor Gerald.
He wouldn’t, would he? Shadow knew he had been in the Professor’s company for a short while, long enough to do a little programming? Was that even a bad thing? He was his creation, should he not obey? So many questions and so little answers. All that was clear to Shadow was this, his mind was not to be trusted. Gerald was like him, he always had a back-up plan. If he did alter his memories to make him think Maria wanted something else then he had another trick to get the job done. Despite himself Shadow smiled slightly at the memories that he did have for certain, he loved that old scientist. He was the only person he ever really admired, Maria he loved but didn’t always agree with, Gerald was his type of person. Manipulative, intelligent, cunning and willing to do anything to reach his goal. To try and save Maria he had built the ARK to be sterile from the germs that could destroy her weakened body, he had tricked the government as to his true objectives, he had spent huge amounts of money and compromised as to Project Shadow actually was. Shadow knew very well that originally he had been intended simply to be immortal, but GUN had wanted a weapon and Gerald had wanted something to defend the ARK. As well as encourage more funding.
The result: Immortal life. All for Maria- the relatively insignificant girl in the world, the effects of her weak life spreading out through the universe like ripples on a pond. Sometimes he felt he could almost feel her, so close in his mind. If she had been taken away she had to be avenged! His mind was concluded once again. Someone was going to pay for her death, if not the Human race then at least GUN.
“SHAADOOW!!!” Tails’ voice broke him out of his thoughts and he tried to listen for his location. The Fox came out of the tree line near him, showing him how deep in thought he had been that he had gotten so close. “There you are Shadow, I’ve been looking for you.” Although he was certainly better than before he still seemed nervous, he had something to say.
Tails walked into the light next to him and stood by the tree, the sun had just began to go down and the orange light washed over the Kitsune’s fur. Combined orange glowing like a Mobian shaped lamp whilst Shadow‘s fur simply absorbed the light, making him as black as ever. Why was it only the most innocent creatures cared for him? And vice versa. He knew he cared for the young Fox a lot, why was something that truly escaped him but he did.
“Are you going to tell me what was wrong now?” He spoke in the most caring voice he could manage without throwing up. Not much of an achievement but he was making effort.
“Kind of, but you know you said you always keep a promise?” This intrigued Shadow, why was he bringing this up?
“Yes, what of it?”
“I want you to promise me something. I want you to promise me no matter what you will always be around. That even if what I say disgusts you, you won’t go.” Whatever Tails was about to say he was nervous and looking at the floor for some reason, like he couldn’t face him. Shadow moved his hand to the Fox’s chin and brought his head up to look him in the eyes, Tails saw the same peaceful look Shadow had when he was asleep.
“I promise Tails, nothing could possibly make me abandon you. I care about you too much, now what is so horrifying that you can’t tell me without running off?”
“I…love…you.” He told him quietly. “I just do, at first I thought it was just some crush but then there was the dreams and the kiss and the teleports an-” Shadow stopped Tails’ rambling with a finger placed on his lips. Tails looked at him fearfully and continued, worrying that he had scared away Shadow. “Just don’t send me away, don’t go anywhere. Even if you don’t care back.”
“Tails, I would never leave you no matter what.” Shadows voice contained nothing but warmth, and Tails had a hard time believing it was the same person talking. “The truth is, I feel the same.”
“You do!” His voice was full of joy at the admission by the usually dark and angst hedgehog.
“Yes Tails, I have felt it since I rescued you that I cared deeply about you. I am unsure why I do, but I love you more than anything else that exists today.” Exists today Tails heard that part and ignored it for later, instead taking pleasure in the waves of relief that flooded over him now that the two had admitted their feelings to each other. He almost felt light-headed!
“So, it doesn’t bother you that we’re both…you know, guys?” Shadow didn’t speak, instead he looked at the Fox, smiled very briefly again and leant in. Tails was treated to a gentle kiss on the lips, the very touch made his nerves scream for more and Shadow knew it. Tails heart sped up at what was his first “real” kiss and he was immediately hungry for more. When Shadow moved back he was smirking.
“What do you think Fox-boy?” He asked the Fox. Tails smiled mischievously back at him.
“I think it doesn’t and I think I want some more.” It wasn’t hard to hear the seductive tone of voice that Tails was using.
“I bet you do, I did a bit of research earlier. Among other things I looked up Kitsunes. Apparently the Kitsune is well known for being a great lover.” Aunt Sally never told me that! I hope I live up to that reputation.
“Lets test that shall we?”
Without waiting for Shadow to kiss him again Tails pushed the Hedgehog against the tree and pressed his body against him, allowing his lips to do the thinking he kissed Shadow. It was good but it just left him wanting more. He had gone for too long denying his feelings and needed to feel Shadow against him.
“Very eager aren’t you?” Shadow’s remark made Tails blush wildly and he realised that he had been kissing Shadow a bit more forcefully than the Hedgehog had done. Shadow took advantage of this momentary stop to move Tails to the ground, placing himself above him looking down on the still bright red Fox. “Now, I think we were about here when you left.” It was true, the only difference was that Tails didn’t have his arms pinned down. Shadow didn’t wait for a reply and engaged his younger lover in a deep kiss, moving his tongue against Tails’ lips until the moaning Fox parted them. Allowing Shadow to plunder his virgin mouth, exploring it and entwining his tongue around the Kitsune’s own, slightly less active one. Tails was in heaven as each move of the welcome intruder sent sparks up his body and he forced his own tongue to explore his new lovers mouth. It tasted vaguely of honey and a small amount of cinnamon.
Tails actually managed to summon the will power to briefly halt the wonderful activity and move Shadow off of him with his powerful namesakes. Rolling him over onto his back. When he looked at Tails for an explanation the Fox smiled cheekily at him.
“Now I can’t let you take complete control can I?” With that Tails leapt on top of the Hedgehog and took his place, once again moving in to kiss him deeply. His smaller chest pressing against the firm, powerful one. Shadows arms encircled his back whilst Tails’ namesakes fluffed up and covered the couple in warm Fox-scented fur. All this activity had not gone unnoticed by the Kitsune’s lower half. Which was currently standing to attention and to his embarrassment, was easily noticeable through his sheath to the Ultimate Lifeform lying underneath him. Shadow disengaged from the kiss and smirked again.
“Watch where your pointing that Tails, it could poke my eye out.”
“I’ll make sure my aim is a little bit down from your eye.” He shot back smiling, although where the erotic innuendo had come from who knew.
“My, my. I’ll have to tell the princess about this. Barely 10 minutes since our first kiss and your suggesting we do that? She obviously didn’t bring you up right.” Tails wondered if he would tell Sally, he would certainly find it amusing to do so. Moments after he said this however he brought his hand down underneath the Fox and brushed a finger up Tails’ sheath, making Tails shiver with pleasure. However he didn’t carry on “stimulating” Tails, growing impatient he took Shadow’s hand and guided it back to the sensitive flesh, where Shadow simply stroked it up and down a few times and stopped again.
“Your not going to deny me my first time with someone are you?” He asked seductively, but Shadow certainly wasn’t going to do that with him, yet.
“Tails, somehow. I don’t think that in years to come, the thought that you lost your virginity on a hill in the forest, 15 minutes into a relationship will be one of your fondest memories.” He said as they exchanged more kisses.
“I’ll get over it.” Tails saw his point though, he was moving a little bit too fast and he doubted that Sally would ever forgive him if this happened now.
“Well I won’t, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a bit of fun.” He rolled over so he was once again over Tails, growling playfully.
“When did you get so affectionate?”
“When did you get so horny?” Shadow brought his hand up to massage Tails’ ears, which according to his research on Fox biology, were extremely sensitive. As were his namesakes, nose and several specific points on his back and spine. Each Mobian species had different points that were extra sensitive, some were even shared between them. And Shadow’s hands were, despite their enormous strength and more common use, like a pianist’s.
Tails’ moans echoed out into the forest as the Hedgehog went to work.
---------------------------------------------
Sonic noticed that he hadn’t seen his little buddy for more than a day and now that he remembered couldn’t find him. It was getting dark and he wasn’t in his hut. Racing around Knothole he still took time to admire the village on a cool night. The cloudless sky showed off its stars and moon like so many diamonds surrounding a huge pearl. Some villagers were still about, especially the night-faring species, and the cool night breeze ruffled the grass. He had lived here for most of his life and whilst Sally was adamant that they restore Mobotropilis to its former glory Sonic often wondered if he’d rather live here than in a city. He had only been to Station Square once and he had liked it but would he ever want to live their? It had seemed a bit busy, he liked the night life but not all the time.
Sonic reached the Sally’s hut, slightly larger than the others and with a bigger bed but otherwise the same. The light was still on and no doubt she was still up talking to Bunnie, it wasn’t that late yet. He knocked at the door repeatedly until Sally’s called out.
“Come in Sonic.” He was always amazed that she knew it was him. He stepped inside and found Sally and Bunnie on her bed reading girly magazines with titles like “Mobian Fashions” “Fur and Fabric” or “Hot Furry” and, for some reason that he had the sneaking suspicion had to do with a certain Bunny he knew, “Exotic & Erotic (Which costume is right for your boyfriend?)”. Why either of them read these he couldn’t figure out, Sally was a nudist and Bunnie only ever wore her leotard (because in her own words “It shows of my cute lil’ Bunny curves and its quick to get off”).
“What’s wrong Sugah-Hog?” The Rabbit asked, looking up from something he could only assume was for Antoine.
“Yeah you look worried.”
“Have either of you seen Tails? Only its getting kind of dark out and he isn’t in his hut.” Sally had last seen him when they had talked about the kiss, but she didn’t dare tell him that.
“I think he went somewhere with Shadow.” She settled for that. “Don’t worry, he’ll be fine.” Secretly though she was worried. If they hadn’t got back by now who knew what had happened, either it had gone very badly and Tails was hiding somewhere or….they were getting intimate! She didn’t know what to think, part of her wanted Tails to find someone to love. The other was horrified at the age that her adoptive son might be losing his…innocence.
“That’s supposed to make me feel better? That he is out at night, with a Military Super-weapon?”
“Relax Sugah-hog, there probably out in the forest. Exploring each other.” Sonic’s mind automatically added in the “with” in order to take the sentence away from the ones that would creep him out. Sally shot Bunnie a look that told her to be quiet and she held her hand over her mouth to stop herself giggling.
“But Robotnik could’ve captured them, you know he has Buzz-Bots that go around in the forest.” Buzz-Bots were large wasp shaped robots with lasers on their stingers, they were generally used as air-support and patrolling the Great Forest. Where they would seek out Freedom Fighters, kill or stun them with the laser and bring them for Roboticisation if they survived. Sally knew she had to get Sonic away somehow or he‘d start looking, if he did find Tails and the Fox was having “fun” with Shadow then he’d probably have a nervous breakdown. Luckily for her Sonic tended to forget about things provided he was given something else to do.
“Tell you what Sonic, I have this data-disc to give to Sir Charles.” She took out the disc-case from her dresser and gave it to her boyfriend. It basically contained future battle plans, progress with the de-roboticiser, village news which the metal Mobian liked to keep up on and general questions and other information for the Robian which she didn’t like to send over the com system in case Julian picked up the increased data-flow. “Take it to him, retrieve anything that he wants to give to us and ask him If anyone has been captured. If they haven’t then Tails is with Shadow and perfectly safe.”
“Okay Sal.” He was only too happy to visit his uncle and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before running out of the door. As soon as he had gone Sally got up and prepared to go out.
“Where you going Sally-girl?”
“I’m going to find Tails Bunnie. Who knows what he’s doing.”
“Good idea, I’ll stay here and pick out a good costume for him. Can’t have him having sex without some leather.”
-----------------------------------------------
That twisted Rabbit, the worst thing is I don’t know if she’s joking or seriously believes that! Something tells me I don’t want to know. Sally was walking through the Forest in the direction she was fairly sure Shadow and Tails were, although her own nose was not on par with a Fox’s it was still pretty good. Combined with Nicole’s sensors she was sure she could find the two.
“Detecting two bio-signs up ahead Sally.” The calculator sized piece of equipment told her.
“Thanks Nicole.” Sally walked up through the trees until she came to a clearing on the edge of a small cliff which overlooked a good portion of the Great Forest. The clearing was covered in soft grass and had a medium sized tree in the middle, just in the right position to sit against and look at the view. “I recognize this place, Sonic brought me up here for our first kiss.” Indeed, carved on the tree were the words “Sally + Sonic 4Ever”. She rounded the tree and braced herself to see her worst fears.
“Greetings Princess.” Shadow looked up to see the Mobian chipmunk/squirrel hybrid walk into view with her eyes tightly shut.
“Are you two…decent?” She asked, still not looking.
“Yes.” Did everyone expect him to have sex with Tails? She opened her eyes and relief flooded in when she saw them. Shadow was holding Tails in his arms and the Fox was asleep with his head against Shadow’s chest, his face buried in the white fur and his namesakes being used as blankets by the both of them. Shadow’s arms surrounded Tails protectively and all in all they looked the picture of the perfect couple.
“Nicole, take a picture of this will you.” She held up the computer and the sound of a shutter closing was heard. Much to Shadow’s annoyance that she had evidence that he could be nice. She was smiling at the look on his face, mainly because he couldn’t get up without waking Tails.
“If Tails wasn’t here I would rip that machines memory out.”
“Well sadly he is here isn’t he you big softy. Anyway, you should wake him up and come back to the village before people get suspicious.” Shadow instead opted to get up with Tails still in his arms and carry him as he walked back with Sally. “You know. If you don’t want people to find out about this it would be best to put him down when we get to the village.” Luckily the problem was solved when Tails woke up by himself and asked to be put down.
“So I guess you saw us Aunt Sally.” The Fox asked after he had woken up fully.
“Yes, in fact I got a picture.”
“Which I will shortly destroy.” Shadow added in.
“You can’t do that! A mother needs to have her souvenirs. And this will keep me laughing until I’m in my sixties.”
“If you last that long.” Shadow said under his breath.
“Yeah, yeah. You say that but I know your just a big softy underneath, isn‘t that right Tails?” Tails smiled involuntarily at the idea.
“That’s right. He’s so kind and cuddly.” His voice could barely contain the laughs within it as he made himself sound like he was a five year old. Shadow growled at them to be quiet and they did. As long as you counted stifled laughing as quiet. Despite this Shadow couldn’t help but feel strangely happy. He was in love. To get his own back on Tails he decided to embarrass him a bit.
“Well, I’d prefer cuddly to perverted. Isn’t that right Tails?” The Fox’s face went white and he stopped walking briefly before recovering and attempting to act normal.
“I don’t know what you mean Shadow.” Sally was suspicious of her adoptive son, what was he hiding?
“Surely you remember. Quite an odd idea of a good time he has Princess Acorn.”
“What do you mean?”
“Oh look! Were at the village already.” Tails burst in and tried to shut him up. It was true though, they had arrived back at Knothole and Shadow got to see it at night. He preferred it to the day version. This one had almost no-one around and was almost silent, his ideal place.
“Well you took your time Psycho.” Shadow’s mood instantly dived, leaving the annoying voice to vibrate in his head slowly driving him insane. “Where were you Tails?” The Fox was adamant not to let Sonic know the truth, however he felt for Shadow he couldn’t take the thought that Sonic would be ashamed off him.
“Shadow and I…went and… looked for robots in the forest.” Shadow realised that Tails didn’t want Sonic to know and played along with significantly better lying.
“Tails managed to destroy four patrol droids. Although obviously he couldn’t compare to me.” Tails was drawn between relief that Shadow wasn’t letting on and guilt that he was denying his love for the ebony Hedgehog.
“Good job Tails, one day you may be as good a hero as me.” That earned an amused snort from Shadow. “But its getting late, you should get to bed.” Tails was so relieved he didn’t argue and after saying his goodnights he walked off to his hut with Shadow.
-------------------------------
Everyone’s favourite sociopath Hedgehog lay down in his bed, in truth he wasn’t very tired physically but mentally he needed time to stop thinking. Tails was running threw his head now, as well as his mission and Maria. He was disturbed to find that the thought that he might be replacing Maria with the Fox hadn’t even crossed his mind. Was that good? He said goodnight to Tails and turned off the light on his bedside, ready to sleep. However Tails had other ideas.
After about twenty minutes the sly Fox snuck across the darkened room to Shadow’s bed and gently lifted the covers on one side. It was a fairly small bed to be honest, most of the time in Knothole people were fine with standard sized beds unless they were a couple and so wanted to sleep together a lot. In which case they usually pushed two together two normal ones, got someone to make a bigger one or ordered one from Station Square and paid Tails to go pick it up in his plane. Still Tails climbed in and put his arms around the Hedgehog. Nuzzling into the sleeping Mobian’s side and holding him closely like he had wanted to for too long.
“What would your mother say?” The supposedly sleeping Hedgehog whispered to him.
“Knowing Aunt Sally probably “I’ll get the camera” He whispered back enjoying the warmth of another body pressed against his, feeling Shadow’s surprisingly soft and silky fur against his own and breathing in his scent heavily.

Tha t’s sooo cute! I’m sorry for the romance scene I really do, it was awful. And to anyone who thought they would have sex then your perverts. They have only known their love for a day, and although Tails wants to Shadow I don’t see as that kind of guy. Im looking at you Lunarian, I know what you were thinking.

Except Lu, who is the reviewer equivalent of the Messiah (you know, without the cult, and the freeloading, and the being nailed to a piece of modern art.)
