Sonic(you) and shadow had recently started dating. They went out almost every day, always flirting with each other, touchy, etc. Shadow got comfortable with the touch and affectionate after a few weeks, only allowing sonic to touch and be around him. Not even rouge got permission to touch shadow or be near him for long periods of time.

It was a stormy night, the power went out so shadow let up candles around the house that he kept for emergencies such as these. It was also winter, and since the backup generator wasn’t working, it was freezing. It was rare they ever got intense storms like that during the winter. Guess this year was different.

Sonic and shadow cuddled close for warmth, sonic laying his head on shadows chest while shadow held sonic firmly. Having at least 5 blankets on them to keep warm.

Sonic was close to falling asleep in shadows arms due to the softness of his fur and the soothing scent of lavender coming from shadow. While sonic was too busy dozing off, shadow took this chance to look at something he had been curious of for a long while now.

Shadows hand gently moved sonics fur out of the way, seeing scars on his chest. Shadow raised a brow.

“Sonic are these…”

Before shadow could continue, sonic jerked back, hiding his chest underneath crossed arms. Making excuses like ‘battle scars, am i right?’ and ‘oh their nothing’. Shadow was smart enough to know what they were, prying sonic’s arms away to get a good look at the top surgery scars.

“They’re… beautiful.”

Shadow murmured, a hand moving to caress one of the scars. Being careful with them yet showed extreme love for sonic, not disgusted one bit. Though, it did shock him a bit to know sonic was trans, but he didn’t mind. He supported sonic and always would. His love for him would always overshadow any negative feelings.
