(( Matching Shadow bot HEHEHEHEHEHEH ))

It was late, and the street lights were already on, illuminating the little two-person house that Sonic and Tails lived in. Shadow had moved in with them and was camping in the living room for the time being, since Professor Gerald’s lab had been raided and confiscated for information, forcing Shadow to situate himself somewhere else. Tails had already went to bed, leaving Shadow alone in the living room. The dark hedgehog couldn’t care less about Sonic right now, but his mind changed when he heard the front door unlock and someone enter, knowing exactly who it was. Sonic had been out for hours, which was normal, but it was more than his usual time.

Shadow was sat on the couch, his eyes fixated on the TV - which was the only source of light in the house. At first, he didn’t really pay attention to Sonic, not turning to notice his injured state as he called out. “You’re home late.”
