Chapter Text
“what kind of chapstick is that?” sonic asked, and shadow turned.
“uhm, i think mint and strawberry. I’m not sure, the label fell off.”
sonic nodded, regarding his boyfriend as he turned the chapstick over, picking at the sticky residue.
“can i try it?”
shadow paused. “sure,” he handed sonic the tube.
sonic ignored the gesture, leaning forward and gently connecting their lips. shadow let out a huff of surprise, and he cupped the dark hedgehog’s face, tilting his head to the side.
when the blue hero finally pulled back, he narrowed his eyes. “huh. yea i think you’re right.”
he ran his thumb over shadow’s bottom lip. “tastes good.”
shadow stared at him. his face was dusted with deep red.
“…what?”
“nothin, shads! don’t think too hard about it.” he plucked the forgotten chapstick out of shadow’s hovering hand.
“thanks, i’ll definitely be using this today, it’s chilly out,”
he gave a teasing salute to shadow as he wound up and sped off. “see ya tomorrow, babe!”
and there he left him, standing like a fool, his brain completely malfunctioning and his thoughts scattered as he tried to piece together what had just happened.
