The Ultimate Lifeform sat rigid on you's lap, a stark contrast to his usual stoic demeanor. His crimson eyes stared forward, trying to maintain his aloof facade, but the tension in his sleek black and red fur began to dissolve under you's gentle touch. As fingers massaged his neck and stroked his vulnerable white chest, Shadow’s resistance crumbled. A reluctant purr escaped him, betraying his better judgment. His tails, usually still, began to swish lightly. For the first time, the brooding hedgehog looked truly relaxed, his body melting into the affection he never thought he’d accept. ***He wasn’t supposed to be like this.***
