I got more sonadow content! It's another unfinished piece, but I think it's funny enough to share it :)

Title: Love in Slow Motion

Rating: Teen

Summary: A misunderstanding leads to unexpected decisions and feelings.

"What the hell did I just walk into?"

Tails wasn't supposed to be home early, but somehow everything was just going downhill since this morning. Today was not shaping up to be one of Sonic's best days, not at all.

"Uhhhh, heeeey buddy," the hero smiled awkwardly, very aware of how his brother's wide eyes were glancing in every direction and seemingly trying to understand why his big bro was stepping out of the hallway bathroom with Shadow at his heels.

Nope, this wasn't even remotely possible to appear as something the two rivals would do on a random Tuesday afternoon.

"So…" Tails cleared his throat, blushing at the implications behind the sight in front of him. "Um…I–sorry for interrupting, I r-really didn't mean to–"

Sonic was utterly horrified at this point, watching in embarrassment how Tails avoided his gaze and hastily turned around to head back downstairs.

"Wait, dude! No, this isn't what—Tails! Come back!" The hero tried to go after his brother, but with his predicament, he didn't get very far.

"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! I'll leave you both alone now!" Tails' hurried words matched the speed at which he bolted out the front door, a slam echoing in the now dead-silent house.

"Well, now your brother assumes there's something between us."

With cheeks still burning up from the embarrassment, the blue hedgehog glanced over his shoulder to glare at his rival. "Wow, really? I hadn't noticed."

Shadow scoffed, "May I remind you it was your fault we ended up like this!"

The agent brought up their handcuffed hands into their line of vision, harshly waving them from side to side for emphasis.

Sonic growled, tugging his hand back, and as a result, Shadow's too. "Quit it will ya?! And yes, I know! Don't have to rub it in my face every chance you get, jeez."

"Well, get used to it because I'll keep doing it until we figure out a solution," the striped hedgehog grunted, pulling back his hand.

"I forgot how much of a dick you are."

Another tug in the opposite direction, and another grunt came.

"And I am always reminded of how reckless you are," the hybrid sneered, yanking his hand back.

Fuming, the hero attempted to make the last move, claiming the final say in this needless discussion. "You know what? No, this thing is our fault. As in, you and me. So you better accept it if ya don't want me to drag your face through the dirt at Mach 1 speed."

Sonic watched as his rival's eyes narrowed dangerously thin, rubies barely peeking from under thick eyelashes. Nothing else came, no verbal response or a flurry of punches to his face. For a brief moment, Sonic thought Shadow finally understood, turning away from the dark hedgehog and thinking of how he would explain to Tails that he got it all wrong.

"Hey–! What the hell?!" Sonic was tackled to the ground from behind, groaning when he felt pain shoot up his nose at colliding with the floor unceremoniously.

"How dare you–" Shadow grunted, trying to climb on top of the hero while maneuvering their handcuffed hands to an angle that gave the agent the upper hand. "Tell me what to do!"

Unfortunately, he wasn't fast enough and his weight was pushed off the speedster, growling as Sonic mirrored his attack.

"You're really getting on my nerves, dude. Stop this before we actually get hurt!" The blue hero gritted his teeth, fighting against the hybrid's wrestling hands—well, hand. Pinning someone to the ground when you shared a limb with them was difficult.

This went back and forth, pushing to be on top and rolling across the hallway floor a second later. Their argument didn't carry many words except for their names and the occasional curse, but their grunts of effort were heard throughout the house. Eventually, they reached the end of the hallway, emerald eyes noticing too late as Shadow rolled on top of Sonic.

"Wait, Shadow! We're gonna–"

Staring down the blue hedgehog with a venomous glare, the agent snarled, pinning fawn hands to the ground. "I'll make you eat those words, hedgehog."

Not wanting to receive a nasty punch to the face, Sonic glanced around at his surroundings, quickly realizing the only way to dodge it was to twist away as his handcuffed hand lifted from the floor as Shadow readied his into a fist.

"Damn it, Shadow," was all that Sonic breathed out as he shoved at the white chest with a harsh push.

Then, they were falling down the stairs.

The clinking of their metal cuffs rang loudly as they tumbled to the first floor, groaning and left with aching backs. So much that the anger and determination to fight had left their systems, too tired to do anything but lay there on the floor.

In a rather compromising position, however.

They didn't notice until the front door opened again, the fox reentering to freeze upon seeing the two hedgehogs resting there just a few feet before him.

"Oh my god…"

A blue ear twitched at hearing the familiar voice.

"Tails? Buddy?"

Sonic perked up, raising his upper body to glance at his brother with a wide smile. "Tails! You came back–" he thought this was his opportunity to clear things up, but as everything that's been happening today, it all went sideways.

"Soooonic," Shadow's groan came loud and throaty from where he lay under the blue hero.

It was then that Sonic noticed how exactly his brother found them. Was the world against him today or what? He couldn't help but think so as he closed his eyes and let his shoulders sag, defeatedly. He was cradling his rival's lap, the striped hedgehog nestled quite intimately between his blue legs and his arms caging an ebony torso, and if that wasn't the worse yet, the fox's next observation was.

"Are those…handcuffs?" Tails gawked at the silvery thing wrapped around both hedgehogs' wrists.

"Look, bro. You got this all wrong—me and Shadow were just–"

"I interrupted you again, didn't I? Ohmygod. I'm so sorry, Sonic. I just came back for—you know what, I'll just stay with Amy for today and leave you–"

Staring at the fox with wide eyes, the hero scrambled to inform him of his misunderstanding, of everything being thrown out of proportion, but Shadow's next words did not help.

"Fuck, Sonic…You pushed too hard again."

A hot blush bloomed across the fox's muzzle at hearing the Ultimate Lifeform's words, seeing him lean up with his arms braced on the carpeted floor. And because their hands were restrained, the little movement had Sonic stumbling forward to be inches away from Shadow's dazed face.

"Dude, seriously?"

Shadow raised an eye ridge at noting his rival's flushed face and looked away to see the fox standing by the front door, sporting the same color across his face as his brother.

This was perfect timing for Shadow to clarify things for the hero's brother, maybe even going as far as throwing in a hefty speech as to why he would never see Sonic in that way.

The blue hedgehog wished that had been going through his rival's mind as he waited impatiently for the agent to say something to Tails. He almost thought of doing a head start for Shadow when finally the striped hedgehog spoke. Definitely, not favoring Sonic's wishes.

"Hmm, learn to knock unless you want to see something you shouldn't next time."

No. No. Nononono!

Realization dawned on the hero, paling immediately at checking his bro's face for his reaction and oh god, why was Shadow doing this?! They just had a whole fight about this! Now, the hybrid was feeding these scandalous insinuations—did the fall do some serious damage to the Ultimate Lifeform's head?

"U-uhm…I'mma head out now…" Tails was beet red, coughing awkwardly and shying away from both hedgehogs' gazes.

"Tails, wait! Don't go–Miles!" It was fruitless, the speedster watched in mixed horror and humiliation as his best friend zoomed out the front door almost at a speed similar to his.

"I thought you taught him some manners, at least."

Hearing the mirthful comment on Shadow's part, one of Sonic's eyes twitched and his lips curled into a nasty snarl.

"Why did you do that?!" The speedster snapped at his dark counterpart, one of his hands reflexively curling into a tight fist. He was seconds away from wiping away that stupid smirk off Shadow's face, regardless of knowing the violence wouldn't go unpunishable and he'd end up in the same position as his striped rival later into the day.

"I dragged your face through the dirt. Metaphorically, of course."

Gawking, Sonic took a few seconds to properly process his rival's words, blinking rapidly once a conclusion settled over him.

"Wh…that—are you serious? Payback? Really, Shadow? You understand this doesn't make things any better for you too, right?" The hero sighed, exasperated by the hybrid's scheme.

Shadow shrugged, a smirk still plastered across his lips. "It was worth it. Besides, if your brother spreads the news about us, it'll get Rouge off my back about going out on a date with Silver–"

"Silver? Wait, you're dating?"

The dark hedgehog noticed how a frown came across the hero's face, his blue ears drooping slowly. If the agent didn't know any better, it appeared the news of his personal life dampened Sonic's mood.

"No, but Rouge is persistent about it. That woman and her nosy habits," Shadow rolled his eyes at remembering his friend's failures to convince him to go out with someone.

"Sooo…you're not dating?"

The agent dared to make the hero wait, observing closely how emerald eyes flickered between two things; hope and disappointment.

"Not yet."

It was an implication, a reminder that it was only a matter of time before the dark hedgehog was taken. For Shadow's first intimate conversation, first embrace, first kiss, and all that came with first dates to be stolen by someone else regardless of the love being there, or not. Because even a creature like Shadow was tempted to get a taste of all that, a bit of what a life like with someone at his side could be.

However, it seemed Sonic wasn't so willing for his rival to go around and do that with just anyone. And maybe it was the protective side he had for his friends in him that made him act, or…it was more. Something else that went beyond the thought of helping Shadow.

Sonic didn't know exactly, but he was taking his opportunity. "What…what if we do tell people we're dating?" The hero spoke, avoiding crimson eyes directly.

Shadow almost laughed, amused by his rival's awkwardness.

"Weren't you just against it, hedgehog?"

Chuckling nervously, Sonic shrugged and looked down to meet Shadow's eyes before shifting his gaze to the front door.

"Well, yeah but like you're onto something with the whole fake relationship thing."

Oh, of course. Shadow should have known. It was obvious there wasn't any other ulterior motive for the hero to agree to something like this.

"I assume you're speaking of your situation with Rose," the agent barely held back the instinct to roll his eyes at the mention of the pink hedgehog. One way or another, from his mouth or Sonic's, the girl's name always popped into the conversation, leaving a palpable tension between the rivals.

It wasn't necessarily the bad kind, but its simple existence was a constant variable in their friendship. An invisible wall that grew thicker with every advance Rose took in pursuing Sonic.

I have something. Is it big? No, but I thought it's worth sharing (probably).

Title: Starry-Eyed

Rating: Teen

Summary: Sonic didn't know why this happened every time Shadow turned super, but he was far from against it, even if it came at the expense of his falling this time.

*not finished*

For the first time in three days, it had been a soundless early morning—no Eggman attack, tinkering Tails, or incoming emergency calls from the Restoration HQ. Still and quiet, Sonic knew it, awake or not, as his face snuggled into the pillow and his body relaxed into the thrumming warmth at his left—wait, what?

Emerald eyes blinked open instantly, staring at the bold green numbers that stared back from the nightstand alarm.

It was 6:22 AM.

Too early, his body complained, but his sleepy mind was waking up already, processing the concept of sensing overflowing amounts of chaos energy next to him. It certainly wasn't coming from him, having gone months without turning super for a while, and last he checked with Tails, Team Dark had borrowed their red chaos emerald, meaning one thing only.

"Mornin', Shads," Sonic sighed, turning onto his other side to stare playfully at his striped rival, who was currently donning his shimmery gold super form.

Super Shadow smiled at the hero, all teeth.

Very sharp teeth. Sonic had noticed them somewhere into their fifth meeting, like this every time Shadow went super. He guessed it was a side effect, along with the other stuff. A blush crept up the blue hero's face as he remembered precisely what other stuff usually entailed.

"Morning," the striped hedgehog replied, shifting his position to bump foreheads with Sonic, striking red ambers becoming hooded.

The hero chuckled softly, his eyes fully open and staring into his rival's. It had been nothing but whiplash for Sonic when he found out that, contrary to Shadow, this version of the Ultimate Lifeform wanted to be touched. Since he learned this, they decided to tentatively approach the new things that soon became habits from the golden being in Sonic's bed.

Another silly happening, too—Super Shadow preferred to confine their meet-ups to the hero's bed. This contradicted how Shadow typically found open settings more suitable when annoyed about meeting Sonic on the most random days.

"How was the mission?"

Super Shadow hummed, scooting closer to wrap an arm around Sonic's waist, sliding his head down and nudging at the blue hedgehog's chin.

Unable to resist the warm comfort of his rival's small embrace, Sonic offered more of himself to the other, smiling when a purr rumbled deep from the hybrid's chest.

"The usual, you know," Super Shadow mumbled, fitting his face in the crook of Sonic's neck.

With this, the hero felt soft lips brushing the sensitive skin and fur, and Super Shadow's breathing sent goosebumps down his neck and chest.

"Usual?" Sonic questioned, mirroring his rival by sliding a hand over Shadow's side, too. The next purr from the golden hedgehog let the hero know it was fine. Apparently, it's more than acceptable because Super Shadow pressed himself closer to Sonic.

They were a cocoon of warmth, wrapped up like this, and Sonic savored it because he knew the moment all the chaos energy drained from Super Shadow, it'd be over.

"Mhmm, fighting Eggman and winning."

The hero only frowned at the mention of Eggman, gradually drifting between consciousness and unconsciousness. It was always hard to keep track of his conversations with Super Shadow; something about the heat the hybrid emitted made Sonic's body relax and mold into the perfect shape to fit right into the striped hedgehog's side.

Super Shadow purred again, his vibrations making the blue hedgehog sigh. "I always win. That's why it's the usual."

Drowsy, Sonic's eyes began drooping, still listening to his rival.

"Of course, you'd say that," the blue hero chuckled, his breath tickling the other's ears. "But that's a lie when it comes to me, remember."

At this point, Sonic felt like floating in soft clouds with the sun beaming down. It was a dream he was falling into and always did around Super Shadow's presence. He once joked about Shadow's altered shimmery version being some sandman for him when he only got a confused face.

It turned out that while Super Shadow willingly came, talked, and hugged Sonic until they both fell asleep, the memories never stuck with the standard Shadow, waking up distraught and awkwardly taking his leave upon seeing Sonic and himself in the same bed.

It was even more embarrassing for the hero to chase down the black hedgehog after the first time to explain that it wasn't like that. No, it was an unconscious part of Shadow's mind that awoke when transforming into his super form; the odd part was figuring out why it was that this led to seeking out specifically Sonic. Answers were never found; instead, the rivalry between both hedgehogs grew strained.

For that, nothing needed to be said for both of them to understand why.

So now, on occasion, Sonic woke up to Super Shadow waiting in his bed. Sonic took care of him while the chaos energy slowly drained from the hybrid. When it did, Sonic pulled away from the black hedgehog before he regained consciousness and waved goodbye at him with a silent nod.

It was a sad sight to see.

To know what it could be if Shadow didn't always carry himself around with defensive walls, it was devastating never to have that, only glimpses of it.

That's why the blue hero didn't try to force Shadow with this but gave reasons for what his rival's life would be like if he just let that vulnerable side of himself be free. It was an arduous task that even Sonic found challenging to beat at times, but he went a long way with his friends’ help.

He didn't linger on those old thoughts too much, though. He needed to cherish the little moments he could have with Super Shadow, knowing it was all too good to exist in reality.

But another thing had Sonic coming out of his soundless thinking, the hand around his waist sliding down until it was on his hip.

"What—"

"No, it's not a lie." The hero was pushed onto his back and stared up to see Super Shadow's face slowly come to hover over him.

Sonic wouldn't lie: Shadow was among the most beautiful people he had ever met.

However, Super Shadow could rip Sonic's heart out right now from his chest without the hero knowing simply because he'd been too distracted looking into those two magnetic red-amber eyes.

It was unbelievable, considering Sonic had fought gods before and came out on top.

"I always win, even when it comes to you, Sonic."

A stuttering breath escaped fawn lips, letting that red gaze flick over to them and back to wide emeralds.

Super Shadow's other hand came over to press over the blue hedgehog's cheek, gloved fingers not strong enough a barrier to keep the golden hedgehog's warmth from fueling into Sonic's face. It had to be that, right? The chaos energy leaving a trace of heat over his muzzle? Right?

"Being with you, it's the greatest win of my life."

The confession came as a surprise to Sonic - more than really - but the kiss...oh, that was ethereal.

Sonic had kissed princesses and been revived by some of them, but kissing Super Shadow was like swallowing fire and feeling it burn him inside out. Only for his rival to whisper his name against his mouth to breathe life into the hero again, reigniting a new flame; it was beyond anything Sonic had ever felt. He liked it a lot.

The blue hedgehog let himself be molded again, arching into his rival's touch as he circled Super Shadow's neck with his arms. Sonic brought him closer, repeatedly wanting to feel that sensation until he was suffocating from the smoke and fire. It was the strangest thing how Super Shadow made his bed feel like a sacred oasis and deathbed all at once. Perhaps it was one of his secret powers, manipulating the energy flowing through his veins and around him to mess around with another's subconscious.

It was predatory behavior, cunningly leading a blind lamb to the cave's mouth where the unknown smelled both exciting and terrifying.

Except at this moment, when Super Shadow was fully straddling Sonic and pinning his wrists to the bed to drown the hero in kisses full of teasing tongues and fearsome fangs, it was surreal because the bells ringing loudly in the back of Sonic's head, telling him he was running low on oxygen fast, were useless to the temptation that his rival was offering him.

For once, it felt good to die.
