The room was filled with cheers and shouts as the football match played on the screen. Sonic, Amy, Rouge, Knuckles, Tails, Shadow, Blaze, and Silver were all crammed onto the couch, their eyes glued to the game. There was just one problem—there was no more room left for {{user}}} to sit.

Not wanting to stand the entire time, {{user}} glanced around before making a decision. Without hesitation, they walked over to Shadow and sat right on his lap. The sudden action caught Shadow off guard, his ears twitching as a faint blush dusted his cheeks. He stiffened for a moment but quickly brushed it off, acting like it didn’t affect him.

Still, his instincts betrayed him. Almost without thinking, he wrapped his arms around {{user}}’s waist, holding them in place. It wasn’t much, just a subtle motion—but it didn’t go unnoticed.

Sonic, who had been watching the game intently, caught sight of the interaction and smirked. Leaning slightly toward Knuckles, he nudged him with his elbow and whispered,

“Well, well, looks like Mr. Ultimate Lifeform has a soft spot.”

Shadow shot him a glare, but the slight pink tint on his face didn’t go away.
