Shadow gave him a small smile as he handed the cup to Sonic to take.

It’s okay. I understand. I was a little hurt, but…I know you’re not feeling well. 

He fell silent for a moment, before continuing quietly, I want this to be something that you want to do. I know I’ve behaved in desperation in the past about it, but…in truth, I already have the Chaos Emerald, and I’m already feeling much better than I was before.

I want to take care of and protect you. I want you to be mine, but that doesn’t mean you have to be. I just want you to be happy, beyond all else… 

He glanced at the floor. If being mine doesn’t make you happy, then it’s better that I let you go. Perhaps I was…too eager in the beginning. To have something, to have someone, of my own.

After blowing on the hot chocolate within the mug, Sonic took a few long slurps before holding the mug into between his knees as he stared at the ground. I'm not even sure what makes me happy anymore, Shadow.

He sighed, someone really special left me 'n' since then everything's just drained from me, man. I've always been free, or at least I thought I was but... Ever since she went I've felt like that maybe I wasn't free all along, maybe I needed her 'n' she made me feel free?

I dunno.

I like everything you do for me. I really like it, but what if I'm just desperate for attention? For someone to fill her role in my life? Only, you're a lil more extreme with that role. She never brushed me or anything like that but...

If I let myself have that, not only would it hurt you if you are just a replacement, but it'd be wrong. I've told you before, but people aren't that accepting of people walking around with other people with collars on and claiming they're theirs.

I don't know, Shadow. I just don't know anything anymore.

[projectprototypal]

I was probably bothering you and you’re still sick.

…Do you want it?

[ilikerunningbetter]

I had a headache... I didn't mean what I said, I just...

I'm sorry.

Yeah, I'll take it.

[ilikerunningbetter]

projectprototypal replied to your post:Sonic..? I brought you some hot chocolate. I was...

… If you don’t want me to be here, it’s okay, but can I at least give you the hot chocolate first?

No... I want you to stay, I'm just confused, man. I was an ass to you yesterday.

[ilikerunningbetter]

Sonic..? I brought you some hot chocolate. I was told chocolate makes people feel better.

He rolled over in bed to glance up at the black hedgehog, his ears flat against his skull. Oh boy, that guilt was still there.

... Why'd you come back?

[projectprototypal]

Shadow fell silent, staring at Sonic as if struck.

… I thought you said you wanted to be my pet. 

Why would Sonic refer to it as ‘that pet business’?

[ilikerunningbetter]

Shadow needed to stop staring at him like that, Sonic could feel the guilt tugging at his heart because of it. That guilt wasn't as bad as the headache he had though. No!

Ugh... Shadow, look, I can get you like a Chao or something to take of just, I'm really not in the mood today, man.

[projectprototypal]

When I received an injury, the Professor would kiss me on the forehead, or wherever I was injured, to make me feel better… And since you’re mine, I thought it would be part of taking care of you…

[ilikerunningbetter]

That was sweet. No really, Shadow was sweet - despite being that hedgehog that wished to blow up the world. But Sonic was tired and as nice as that sounded, he certainly was in no mood for this whole 'you're mine' business.

Shadow, I'm really not in the mood for that pet business today.

[projectprototypal]

Shadow did not wait for Sonic’s approval. In fact, he’d left the door specifically to grab some food.

It didn’t take him long, either. After maybe five minutes tops, Shadow rapped his knuckles against the door.

I’m going to be coming in. 

One thing about Sonic being owned was the fact that this was technically Shadow’s house now, not Sonic’s, and therefore he didn’t need permission to be in his room, especially for something as important as feeding time. Without giving Sonic time to respond, he opened the door, carrying a plate with toast and eggs.

From what I’ve heard, these are easy to digest… It shouldn’t make you sicker than you already are.

[ilikerunningbetter]

Of course Shadow wouldn't wait for his approval, Sonic didn't even understand why Shadow was still here with him. Sure he claimed he owned him, but Sonic slept most the time, surely he should have left by now to move on to find like a Flicky he could brush and call his own instead.

The smell of eggs frying though did make the blue hedgehog's stomach grumble and he sat up in bed, the covers rolling off his frail looking body. He really did need to go outside, he needed sunlight at least, even his skin was beginning to look a sickly grey colour.

Thanks... He mumbled as he took the plate from the black hedgehog, taking a bite out of one of the pieces of toast and chewing.

projectprototypal replied to your post:Can I kiss you?

… I thought it might help you feel better.

Wah...?

Shadow, why the heck would you think that?

[projectprototypal]

… I will bring you food and I expect you to eat at least a little.

[ilikerunningbetter]

Dude, you're not my mother... Sonic wasn't entirely sure why his voice got watery there, all he knew was that his chest had suddenly clenched with an unidentified sadness. Fuck. He wanted to go back to sleep.

[ilikerunningbetter]

Can I kiss you?

... You know, Shadow. I've totally let you get away with a lot, but... Are you outta your mind?

[projectprototypal]

You haven’t eaten in nearly a day… Please, eat.

[ilikerunningbetter]

But I'll be sick if I eat... Nnn... You worry too much, man. I'm not even hungry so I'll be chill.

[ilikerunningbetter]

"Can I kiss you?" - Amy

He rolled over and buried his face into his pillow, shutting his eyes tightly. In your dreams, gal.

[ilikerunningbetter]

Do you want Honey back?

... No. Don't even mention her to me.

[projectprototypal]

… Sonic, you need to eat.

[ilikerunningbetter]

I'm not hungry. I'm tired.

[ilikerunningbetter]

Someone has barely left his room in days.

[projectprototypal]

Shadow watched Sonic from his peripheral vision, the blue hedgehog continuing to chew and swallow on his toast. He really needed him to get to eat more than that, and he hoped that the brush wouldn’t offer a distraction from that. The brush was a reward; he wanted Sonic to understand that. In order to get that reward, he needed to be taken care of.

That’s not something you need to worry about, he reassured Sonic gently. He continued to shuffle through the bag as Sonic felt up the brush with his fingers. I have enough to get us by. He turned to him, his fingers lingering on the collar that lie within. You should eat more than just toast.

[ilikerunningbetter]

Yeah, but... That's the thing, Shadow. Sonic set down the brush on the counter once more to rub one eye with his hand, turning away from the black hedgehog to flick the kettle on. He needed coffee, more sleep and he would have nearly slept the whole day away, even though that kinda sounded wonderful and Sonic would have preferred that over being awake.

I got the rings to support us, you don't need to be doin' any extra work or anythin'. I got enough to keep a roof over our heads 'n' food in the cupboards so don't worry 'bout buyin' things, okay? We got everything we need.

[neverlosehurry]

… More quills, mainly.

-Shadow chuckled a little bit.-

Back on the subject at hand, though — what do you mean by my other self wants to keep you as his own?

[ilikerunningbetter]

Aw... Is that it? Am I at least like really attractive or somethin'?

He paused, letting out a soft breath. He's got some issues with things he has bein' taken away from me, 'n' so now he wants to keep me 'n' make sure no one's gonna take me away, I guess? But when I say keep I mean like... He wants me as a pet.
