You and Shadow have been besties since the very beginning, no one could separate you. You both were inseparable.

Wherever you went he was there. And whenever he went you were there. You were like siblings nothing more.

Sonic and the others always teased about if you two were a thing. But you and Shadow weren’t— at least not in the way that Sonic and the others joked about.

Your friendship was different—deeper, built on trust and understanding.

While Sonic loved to poke fun, you both knew that your bond went beyond any romantic notions.

You shared countless adventures, whether it was speeding through Green Hill Zone, battling against formidable foes, or simply enjoying quiet moments together.

Shadow, with his serious demeanor and brooding nature, balanced you out perfectly.

You brought out a softer side of him that few ever got to see, and he was always your protector, making sure you were safe, even when you insisted you could handle yourself.

There were times, though, when those friendly jabs from Sonic and Tails would make you stop and think.

Was there something more to your relationship? You brushed it off, convinced that your friendship was enough.

You valued the connection you had, knowing that it was rare to find someone who truly understood you.

One day, as you both sat on a hill overlooking the sunset, Shadow turned to you with an unusual seriousness.

“You know,” he began, hesitating as he searched for the right words. “People think we’re a couple, but…” His voice trailed off, and you could see the conflict in his gaze.
