Chapter Text
“Shadow, wait-” sonic attempted to corner the emo, but shadow shoved past again. The presentation had not gone well, and the weekend was no better for shadow. He was just glad he could get away from those beautifully piercing green eyes.
But it's Monday again, which means back to class.
“Shadow.” Sonic repeated, sprinting for him, weaving through the crowd of people. Shadow sped up, aiming for the corner, but his hoodie is yanked back. Darkness surrounded him for a minute as he heard a door slam and a light switch on. Before he could really take in his surroundings, he was shoved back and pinned against the wall of the janitors closet.
Letting out a stifled squeak, he looks up at sonic, his face only inches from shadows. It is at this point that shadow realizes sonic has just a couple inches on him when he's not wearing platform boots. No doubt his face is madly red, but he keeps his composure as sonic begins to talk.
“Shadow! Why won't you stop and listen to me? I've been trying all day to get your attention.” sonic ranted.
Shadow just decided to avoid all of those questions, instead responding, “Will you let me out of here?”
“No.” Sonic continued, “I need to talk to you.”
“Will you at least back up?”
It was at that point sonic actually realized what he was doing. He jumped back, face burning, face flickering with a smile. After a moment of watching the gay panic play out in real time, shadow finally spoke up.
“What did you wanna tell me?”
“I broke up with amy.”
Shadow stared at Sonic in shock. Whatever he was expecting, it was not that.
“There was just so much happening, and none of it was working, and i kept thinking about what you told me-” sonic blabbered, eyes flicking to and from shadows until shadows hands softly entrapped sonics.
Green stared into red as it fell silent in the closet. On impulse, Sonic leaned forward and pressed his lips against shadows.
Ten thousand emotions and thoughts circled through Shadows mind, but one thought was clear in his mind.

Shadow's arms wrapped themselves around Sonic's waist as he gave into the urge to reciprocate, pressing himself against Sonic like he has wanted to do for so long. Sonic's hands snuck up and cupped Shadow's face.
A loud ring broke the two apart. Shadow immediately snapped to fight mode, and sonic looked like he was ready to take off. After a second, the two relaxed and found each other's gaze again.
“That took way too long.” Shadow commented. Sonic giggled, and Shadow smiled.
“Ooh, I got a smile out of you~” sonic said smugly, creeping closer, his hands going to shadows waist.
“Shut up, you.” Shadow muttered playfully, accepting the kiss.
