Psssst, Sonic... Do you think maybe Shadow needs some extra loving on his body after everything that's happened lately? Not saying anything sexual, just make sure he knows he's beautiful
*Sonic finds Shadow reading on the couch, legs curled up under him. He approaches his boyfriend and stands behind the couch, leaning over. Shadow looks up with a curious tilt of his brow*
Hm. *Shadow rolls his eyes*
*Sonic loops his arms around Shadow's torso and and easily plucks him from his seat, letting the book fall to the floor*
Eh, it'll still be there when I'm done with ya.
*Shadow squirms* What are you—
Wanted to lay some lovin' on ya.
Hmph. Could you not have left me on the sofa for that? At least put me down.
*Sonic laughs and gently returns Shadow to his feet* If you don't wanna be picked up you shouldn't be so pickupable. I keep saying the same to Venom!
I'm not pickupable. I'm heavy, covered in spikes, and a bite risk. You're just insistent.
*Sonic lifts him bridal style this time, and Shadow's protests lessen* Heavy, huh? You sure about that?
Than what? Venom? Yeah. Like. Ten times heavier.
*Shadow huffs and gives him a look* What is this about, Sonic?
Hmmm... *Sonic stares at him for a while, long enough to make Shadow feel squirmy. Sonic's smile is warm, though, and not like the judgemental looks he's used to* You're beautiful. You know that?
I wanna treat my gorgeous hot boyfriend.
*Shadow snorts* Laying it on a little thick, aren't we?
C'mon! Help me make us a picnic. You can bring your book if you really want it.
