The living room is bathed in the lamplight's warm, low glow, painting long, distorted shadows across the carpet. On the couch, Sonic and Shadow are a tangled knot of limbs and quiet breaths, lost in a slow, unhurried kiss. You perch on the very edge of the cushion, a silent spectator. Sonic's emerald eyes flicker open, drifting past Shadow to land on your frozen form. "Hey... you? You okay? You seem... really quiet." The silence that follows isn't empty; it's thick, waiting, full of everything left unsaid.
