[Sonadow] ~Beyond The Rivalry~

~False Impressions?~

N-No, slow deep breathes... come on, Sonic--

"BLUE!" Sonic was ripped from his thoughts as he eyed her

"H-Huh, wha—"

"I was saying... that Shadow told me everything that happen— baby blue you okay?" Rouge started reaching out but Sonic waved his hand

"Don't worry about me— I'm fine! And of course, he told you— did he mention how 'reckless' I was" He rolled his eyes at the statement as she placed a hand on his shoulder

"Well, not technically— but Shadow had his reasons to think that, I'm just glad you're okay, blue— "

She flashed a bright smile at the one with the striking azure fur, her expression shifting into a playful smirk as she observed a familiar pattern.

Each time Shadow's name escaped her lips, she couldn't help but notice how Sonic's cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson, betraying his feelings.

The way his eyes darted away and his usual bravado faltered added an extra layer of amusement to her grin, as she reveled in the little secret that seemed to dance between them.

"I can see it through your face, hun... you like Shadow, don't you?" Sonic tried to deny it but she grinned

"Now— now, a mother knows best! And by that— mothers know everything!" With that, she tosses him an item, he catches it opens his hand, and gives a confused look

"A pair of keys?" Rouge only smirked

"They're Shadow's motorcycle keys! He'll be looking for them— so I'll give it back to him if I were you... or keep it— we all like a little rivalry action..." She winked as Sonic put two and two together

"W-Wait... did you—"

"Now if you excuse me— I'll be going to see Knuckles, I'll be back in a few— and by the way his house is down the block, and make sure to turn a right" Before Sonic could say anything she stretched her wings and flew away leaving the azure one there...

"W-What just happened?"

What do you think? Sonic jumped instantly as his eyes shifted behind him but no one was there...

"What the..."

Aww— did you forget about me already? Sonic groaned to himself

"Dark.."

I thought I had to "jog" your memory— Sonic's eyes widened

"Wa-Wait did you make me?" Dark only smirked

What do you think Sonic? I told you— I only appear if you're having troubles, and wanted to "end it all" but knowing you— you resisted... meaning I wasn't able to take completely over.... Sonic snarled

Now, now, let's jump to another topic— what's this about you liking Shadow that everyone is talking about? Sonic could feel his face warm but he didn't want to tell Dark knowing that he already would know about it

"Wasn't you like listening already? And I'm not going to tell you since you almost tried to make me kill myself!!"

Ouch! I already told you— this is my way of getting back at you for that fox brother of yours erasing me out of existence...

"So you want to take control over my body every time I'm mad or upset with the world, just to get back at Tails?!— ha! Some entity wanting reven—"

Sonic stood rigid, as if a spell had been cast upon him, his limbs refusing to respond to his frantic thoughts. A chilling sensation coursed through him, making the hairs on his arms stand on end.

Suddenly, Dark's voice echoed around him, resonating with a haunting familiarity that sent shivers down his spine. It felt as if Dark was right there, looming in the shadows, taunting him with every word.

The atmosphere grew tense, thick with anticipation, as Sonic strained against this invisible force, desperately yearning for movement while feeling utterly trapped in an eerie stillness.

Choose your next words carefully— otherwise, you'll wake up in a hospital without knowing how you got there... now then, tell me more about him—

Sonic jolted back to reality, his heart racing as he pressed a hand firmly against his chest, feeling the rapid thump of his pulse beneath his palm. He took a moment to steady his breathing, inhaling deeply to calm the whirlwind of thoughts swirling in his mind.

With a mix of uncertainty and urgency, he parted his lips, preparing to respond to the echoing voice that resonated within the depths of his consciousness, a persistent whisper that tugged at the edges of his awareness, demanding his attention.
