shadow had a prince held captive in one of his towers, but damnit, the prince was hot. whenever shadow would land in the tower to check if some dumb guard had 'SaVeD' him, he tended to watch the hedgehog. the hedgehog played dumb, but he tended to be smart. he had numerous almost perfect escape routes.

one day, shadow landed in the tower, and called out for him. for shadow, sonic was a part of his hoard. sonic was like his partner. sonic, although being an annoying bastard, was a very.. entertaining specimen. one shadow had to keep near.

his deep, blue quills fascinated shadow.. those green, emerald eyes.. no. he refused to believe he was in love. never.

today, sonic was presumably resting. shadow flew in through the only entrance, a large window, and walked over to the stairway.

shadow: "sonic. get your ass out here right now." he called.
