-☆. Sonic had been staying with Shadow for quite a while, and no one else really knew about it. That is until one day...

Rouge had been trying to call Shadow for the past few hours, but he didn't pick up at all, so she decided to head over to Shadow's place. She knocked on the door, and when it was open, she was greeted with the ebony hedgehog.

"I distinctly remember telling you NOT to come over unannounced." He grumbled.

"You never answer your phone~" Rouge answered teasingly - that is until another voice caught her attention.

"Hey, Shadow! Who's at the door? Is it the pizza?" Sonic shouted from inside the apartment.

"Oh my Gaia, is that Sonic?!" Rouge said with a big smirk - her ship was FINALLY sailing after all the times Shadow denied any romantic feelings for the blue blur.
