You and I (Shadaze)

The modern living room exudes sophistication with a palette dominated by shades of gray, charcoal, and black. The walls are painted in a subtle gray hue to create a backdrop that enhances the room's contemporary ambiance. Plush, low-profile sofas and armchairs upholstered in textured gray fabric provide ample seating. A centrally positioned coffee table features a minimalist design with a dark metal frame and a sleek black glass top. The room is adorned with abstract artworks, including the mosaic painting, framed by recessed LED lighting that casts a soft, ambient glow. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer a view of the backyard and allowed natural light to fill the space.

The plain backyard features a clean, minimalist design to complement the modern interior. It includes a manicured lawn bordered by simple gravel paths and low-maintenance shrubs and small trees. A small seating area with contemporary outdoor furniture in gray offered a tranquil spot to relax outdoors.

The kitchen continues the theme with a blend of dark and light elements. It features matte black cabinets with integrated handles, complemented by a large central island topped with polished gray quartz. The backsplash is a mosaic of black and gray tiles, adding depth and texture to the room. Stainless steel appliances, including a built-in oven and a sleek induction cooktop, align with the aesthetic. Pendant lights with black metal shades hang above the island, illuminating the space with a warm, focused glow.

It was 3.30 pm. The group was proud of their hardwork and were planning to go to Amy's house. Blaze amd Tikal were sitting near the kitchen island when Sonic came to join them with Sally.

"Blaze", he started,"how did you find my announcement?pretty dope huh?".

"In my opinion, it was pretty cringe", she replied blankly.

"Don't be rude Blaze", Tikal chirped in,"I think it was cute. I wish someone would do something like that for me."

"I have to agree with Blaze actually", Sally added,"it was kind of immature. I have to go to the bathroom."

"I'll come with you", Tikal said happily.

Sonic became a bit down, but tried to hide it. Blaze could see the pain in his eyes. "Don't be sad Sonic, I didn't mean it like that. You know I was joking. Im sorry 😞."

"I'm not sad because of you Blaze", he replied,"I've known you since forever, I know how you talk. It's just, J thought it would make Sally happy."

"I am sure she is very happy. She probably likes you because of your 'awesome' personality."

"Sheeshh blaze, I do have an awesome personality. How would you know?"

"Oh really, do you? I don't think so, hahahahaha."

"Thank you blaze, for being my bestfriend", Sonic said as he reached to hug Blaze. The feline 🐈 put her hand in front of Sonic to stop him. "Now that you have a girlfriend, I think we should have some boundaries. I don't want to create misunderstanding in your relationship with sally."

"Blaze, you are my bestfriend. If she's real, she will understand hiw much you matter to me. And these reels/tiktok about girl bestfriend and boyfriend should not make her feel insecure."

"Sonic, I know how you feel about me. But in the long run, it will be misunderstood. It is absolutely normal to be insecure about these things. So, please try to understand."

"Maybe you're right. Okay who am I kidding? You are always right."

"Sonic.."

"Okay, I understand. But remember, you will always be my bestfriend, and I will never let anyone ruin our friendship. No one."

"Always. I will also never let forget about me. Your life will continue to stay a living hell."

"Yours as well."
