My Other Ch6

8 days left…..>>>>

I woke up to him groaning. I looked at him, perplexed.
"Sonic?" I whispered while shaking his side.
"hnn?" he rubbed his eyes, "yeah, what is it?"
I smiled, 'at least he's okay.' "Nothing. Just thought you were having a nightmare or you were in pain, that's all."
he smiled sheepishly, "yeah, thanks for the concern and all but can I go back to sleep now. I'm tired…" and if to prove his point he gave a large yawn, before snuggling his head deeper into the plump pillow.

I nodded.

I lay there for a while, listening to his breathing. I looked at the digital clock next to my bed. '01:37' was what it read. I sighed, 'guess im not going to fall asleep again.' I got up and walked down stairs to the kitchen. Grabbing the milk carton and a glass, I settled myself down on the couch, switching the T.V on.

I was watching some action movie. Watching mindless humans trying to annihilate and gut each other somehow always made me smile.
I looked towards the analogue clock on the wall above the entrance to the kitchen, '05:19'
I sighed deeply, 'I wish he was awake, maybe then I wouldn't feel so lonely right now.'
I looked up at the stairs. My heart won over my mind, I got up and walked back to our bedroom.

I slipped under the covers and pulled him close to me, falling back asleep for a few more hours.

"Shadow…" I felt a hand shaking my side, "Shaaaaaaaadooooowwww…."
I slapped the hand away, growling.
"Shadow!"
my eyes abruptly snapped open only to find Sonic leaning on his arm with his other hand shaking my side. "I'm up…" I moaned and pushed him away from me.
his arm slipped under him and he fell on his face into the bed with a 'oof!'
I bit my lip, slightly worried that I had hurt him.
"don't cha worry Shads, I'm fine." He smiled and pushed himself onto his back.
could he sense it? Was it written on my face?!

I made a small smile before getting up again, "Come on." I said while picking him up and walking down the stairs. I placed him in his wheelchair again.
"Where we going today Shadow?" he asked while looking up at me.
"Wait and see." I replied while pushing him out on the street.

Spagonia was rather still today, mainly because of the many sport matches today on east side.
Sonic was laughing all the way, since we were telling each other jokes and life stories.

I decided today we would try and spend some time getting to know each other better, since he was going to be living with me, maybe for, forever.

I stopped at one of the coffee shops I went to regularly. I pushed him behind one of the tables before I sat down opposite him.
this café was mostly self-service, except for if you wanted to order something that wasn't coffee, tea or hot chocolate.  

Sonic smiled at me, "So what you going to get?"
"usual." I replied in a monotone voice as I stared out the window.
"and that iiiiiiisss?" he dragged that 'is' out just to make me smile.
"their special, its called 'springbuck coffee'" I closed my eyes, almost smelling the aroma.
"Sounds nice," he mused, "I think I'll have an iced-tea." He looked behind the counter to the fridge, "Do they have?"
I nodded, "Yeah. But they only have lemon."
Sonic chuckled, "that's what I wanted." He smirked and stretched his hand forward to my wrist.
"Huh? What's wrong Sonic?" I asked, a little concerned.
"Aren't these limiters heavy?" he asked while  running a finger along the gold bracelet .

I shook my head, "not really, why?"
he smiled, "Just curious that's all." He rolled his chair backwards then forwards up to my side.
he leaned forward, wrapping his arms around my waist, hugging me lightly.
I smiled and hugged him back.
"Thank you Shadow, for everything you've done for me." He sniffed and looked up at me with teary eyes.
I smiled sadly, "don't cry Sonic." I wiped a small tear from his eye away.
"Sorry." He whispered and rolled back to his place.

'he's changed a lot.' I mused to myself. 'he would never just do that.'

Sonic happily sat there, sipping at the iced tea that I bought him, I too just sat there, sipping at my 'Springbuck Coffee'.
we didn't really even utter a word for about ten minutes.
But then Sonic broke the silence.
"So Shadow, Why were you created any way?" he whispered so it wouldn't sound  like he was being mean or sarcastic.
I smiled, "to protect Maria from all harm. You know about Maria, right?"
he nodded, "Yeah you told me about her on the ARK."

I nodded too.
"So sonic, what happened to your family?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
he stopped his sipping and set the glass down. He closed his eyes.
"They were all murdered in front of me when I was four." He sighed using his arm to rub his eyes.
"I basically had to raise myself after my uncle died when I was five." He rubbed his arm awkwardly.
my eyes went wide, "Oh, im so sorry."

he nodded while looking down at his knees, "its fine. Really."

'man, he had it worse than me, and all I did was complain and want revenge.' I sighed heavily in my mind before looking back at him.
he had the glass in his hands again and was contently sipping away.

"Sonic, do you want to rent out a movie tonight?" I asked while drinking the last bit of my coffee.
he nodded briskly, "Yeah! Sure, why not!"

I got up and pushed him out the door, as we had already paid for everything when we got it.  
there was a small video shop next to the flower shop we had stopped at the other day. We strolled inside before I asked, "You want to choose?"
He shook his head, "Nah, you can."
I nodded and took out the same movie I'd been watching last night.

'Sniper' was what it was called.

I paid for it and walked out with Sonic.

We got home again at around 18:47.
I picked Sonic up out of his wheelchair and lay him on the couch, immediately after setting him down I went into the kitchen to make us some popcorn.

returning I handed the clear, popcorn bowl to Sonic before putting the DVD into the machine.

We were at least an hour into this movie, some guy was aiming down at the assassin with a sniper rifle, but just as he was about the pull the trigger, the assassin pulled out a pistol and fired the shot straight into the barrel of the sniper's rifle, causing it to explode.

"Yeah, right." I snorted. "A pistol's bullet is WAY too fat to fit down the barrel of a rifle of that make! "
sonic just shrugged and continued to watch. He had his head on my lap.
"ugh. " Sonic cringed at the large mass of blood.
I laughed and playfully covered his eyes, only to have them swatted away.

After the movie was over Sonic was fast asleep.
I switched the T.V off and closed my eyes as well, knowing that I was going to pay in the morning for sleeping is such a position.
