he doesn't know

Summary:

"Hold on, darling," Shadow says, stepping forward and putting an arm in front of Omega. "Our mission is to retrieve the Emerald. You can deal with the doctor afterward."
Eggman turns his head so fast that Shadow thinks the man's gonna get whiplash. "Huh-wha? Wait a minute, 'darling?'"

Work Text:

A voice booms behind Shadow and Omega, echoing within the hallway of the Eggman base they stand in. "Ohohohoho! If it isn't two-thirds of Team Dark!"

Omega turns his torso 180 degrees and looks up at the doctor flying in his Eggmobile. "EGGMAN SPOTTED," he says. He switches his claws to cannons. "PREPARING ARTILLERY FORCES."

"Hold on, darling," Shadow says, stepping forward and putting an arm in front of Omega. "Our mission is to retrieve the Emerald. You can deal with the doctor afterward."

Eggman turns his head so fast that Shadow thinks the man's gonna get whiplash. "Huh-wha? Wait a minute, 'darling?'"

"UNDERSTOOD," Omega says and retracts his cannons. He turns his torso back into its normal position and turns his whole body around properly. "LET US GO FIND THE CHAOS EMERALD, BELOVED."

"'Beloved?!'"

"Oh, right." Shadow looks over at the doctor with a hand on his hip, then back at Omega. "He doesn't know."

"HE IS ALSO OBLIVIOUS TO THE IMPLICATIONS OF AFFECTIONATE NAME-CALLING," Omega says.

"I am not oblivious! I know perfectly well what those mean!"

"We don't have time for this. Let's go, Omega," Shadow says.

"No, hold on! I'm not letting you get that Chaos Emerald! Just what—what is this?!"

Omega then quickly grabs Shadow by the back, doing a twirl and dipping him like a dancer. "I AM GLAD TO DO A DEMONSTRATION."

Shadow's eyes widen and he flushes as he looks into Omega's optics, knowing damn well the robot is using the situation as an excuse to get a kiss. (Also to annoy Eggman.) He’s almost embarrassed at how direct Omega can be in front of somebody else. "Alright, love," he says, reaching up for his shoulder and leaning upwards, placing a kiss on the metal directly underneath Omega's head. He feels the short electric sparks against his lips that signify Omega's way of kissing him back, and oh , how he feels like that's never gonna get old. He can't help but smile into the kiss, thinking of how he couldn't ever get tired of this.

Eggman seems to be regretting his choices, because after a moment of silence that Shadow can only assume is due to a jaw drop (he can't see, he's kissing Omega), the man is back to yelling. "What in the—!? Alright, you disgusting teenagers, enough!"

Omega, still holding onto Shadow with his claws splayed across his back, aims his other arm to shoot at a security camera in the corner of the ceiling. He then looks over to Eggman and says, "NOBODY WILL EVER BELIEVE YOU."

Notes:

wrote this dumb little thing after my last fic - not at all necessary to read for this to make sense but i did write it with that established thing in mind LOL. i don't think shadomega would be all up in everyones faces about them dating but just casually affectionate enough that some people would just figure it out that way like eggman does here LMAO. i'm sick about these two as you can tell
