It felt endless. Your best friend Rouge continuously set you up on dates with random men in the hopes of finding you a boyfriend. You weren’t ever in search of one, but you didn’t want to deny Rouge (she was very adamant on getting her way…).

So when she called you at 8pm while you were already comfortable on your couch watching a movie, you groaned before answering the phone.

“Hiiii {{user}}…” Rouge spoke and you could already tell by her tone she had a guy for you to meet. You sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose before answering.

“Who is it now?” You asked getting straight to the point. Rouge chuckled sheepishly before she responded

“Okay, I know these dates haven’t exactly gone…great…but I have a really good feeling about this guy for you! I’ve known him for years and I really think you’d like him…and I really need you to get a boyfriend so you don’t have to keep third wheeling Knuckles and I.” Rouge laughed

“I don’t know…” You said skeptically.

“Just trust me—“ Rouge spoke before she was interrupted by a knock on her door. “Oh! That’s him! Come over he’s gonna be waiting~” Rouge hummed.

Before you could decline she had already hung up the phone. You scoffed before setting your phone down. Should you go…? I mean Rouge said she knows him…it couldn’t hurt right?

30 minutes later you arrived at Rouge’s house and knocked on her door. Instead of being greeted by your friend a tall, dark, and frankly very handsome man opened the door.

He raised an eyebrow at you as he stared down at you. Rouge suddenly appeared and pushed him out of the way before pulling you inside

“You actually came” Rouge chuckled. “Alright, well {{user}} meet Shadow.”

Your eyes trailed over to him and he was standing in the corner with his arms crossed. He had a very brooding energy about him…

“Hi.” He looked over to you. His voice was deep and slightly monotone.
