Summary
Maybe he's not meant to touch. It's the newest excuse he thought of in hopes that he could prolong the game a little more; a careful ruse to enjoy the bittersweet torture of seeing the days pass them by, while he pretends he doesn't seek azure blue whenever he's restless. At first, all he wanted to do was watch: but now the desire to touch, to have, to affect is at a point where he's not sure whether reaching for Sonic would truly be fruitless.
He wonders that especially when Sonic's eyes light up upon seeing him. When he corners Shadow, when he invades his space and he touches and takes and then excuses it by calling it a fight. Shadow truly wonders then: if only he was brave enough to reach out, what would his grip find? Loose stars or a battle-worn body?
Standing up, he glances at Sonic again, whose eyes have now met his own. There's something heavy in the eye contact, something Shadow doesn't dare name. Neither of them say anything, and yet Sonic's eyes move away from him again, like they did.
Shadow warps away, hiding from the stars once more.

Summary
The problem likely lies in how daunting Shadow finds the prospect of indulgence; something that seems to come naturally to his blue counterpart, he struggles with endlessly. It's admittedly an embarrassing internal struggle to go through (especially after having initiated prior), which only makes the black hedgehog's wounded pride more volatile. Some immature, scarred part of him insists that he can't act on his needs without proper justification... but what justifies grabbing Sonic by the scruff and biting him bloody until their lips are stained with each other?
(SEQUEL to 'judge my sins, not my feelings'. thank you for your all your love and patience!)
