Chapter Two: Exhaustion
Shadow ignored the dog once again and went out to take home some easy dinner. And the closest and easiest place to go to was Burger King.
He chewed on half the burger he had ordered as he walked out the clear doors of the place with a medium sized coke in his hand. Forget about healthy food. He doesn’t need to watch his diet. He never got fat.
And when he was halfway home, his mind wandered back to the wild animal. Why wouldn’t it leave him alone? Was he still there, waiting by his doorstep? What does it want anyway, food, shelter, a way back to its original owner…?
Shadow shook his head. He probably got hungry and went away to dig the trashcans again.
…Except he wasn’t.
When the streaked Mobian neared his house, a silhouette of a four legged animal stood up. Shadow squinted in the darkness of the evening, when the night lights haven’t turned on just yet. And saw the appendage at its rear began to wag. No doubt, it was the dog.
He walked over with a sigh and lowered himself onto one knee down before it. Setting the unfinished burger and coke to the side, his two hands cupped the dirty animal’s head and ruffled the fur there.
And then he whispered the following words, “Silly dog…why do you stay here? I really have nothing for you. Are you lost?”
The animal looked at Shadow with big watery eyes…before snorting and turning to the side. Probably trying to say that, no, he wasn’t lost.
“Then what are you? Hungry? Need a home?”
When the second two options were uttered, it began to wag its tail and circling the hedgehog. And then it barked once, twice, and thrice, before stopping at the left side of Shadow and looking at him, panting with an open mouth with its tongue halfway out.
Shadow thought of the possibilities. Tomorrow he was going grocery shopping…he could pick up some of the stuff he needed there for the dog. And maybe after a few days of cleaning up the dog, he could send it to the adoption center somewhere in the city. And bam. Problem solved.
Smiling at the homeless little guy as he picked up his fast food again, he opened the door to his home. “Well then. Let’s give you a bath first now, shall we?”
The dog didn’t seem to disagree.
XXX
The dog disagreed alright.
The moment it set its dirty paws into the white tiled bathroom and heard the water running for its bath, it started jumping around. It freaked out…good thing the bathroom door was closed.
Seeing that the dog was so nervous going into the tub of water, he only let the water fill up 1/3 of the tub, just in case it splashed around. He hated cleaning up after someone else.
Kneeling down in front of it again, he stared into its emerald eyes that reminded him way too much of his rival. “Ready to get washed?” glancing over at the tub of water.
The dog whimpered and looked away, towards the door.
Sighing, Shadow took off his gloves and picked the dog up and placing him into the bathtub. During the process, he caught a glimpse of its peach-ish white underside and its reproduction organ. ‘So he’s a male.’
Taking a bar of soap and a soaked sponge, Shadow squeezed all the water out from the sponge and onto the messy dog.
With a surprised yelp, the dog jumped up and stood on his hind legs, his front paws search for something to grab, something to get away from any further water.
The hedgehog dipped the sponge in the water and repeated his earlier actions. The same thing kept on repeating until his supposed ‘pet’s fur was drenched with water.
This time, dipping the bar of soap into the already-somewhat-dirty water and then rubbing some onto the sponge. And then he proceeded with cleaning his pet.
Until the point where he was almost completely covered in soap bubbles, the dog had been considerably calm. And that was the time it went berserk on Shadow.
He started pouncing around, even shaking all the bubbles off of him, along with a lot of water droplets. And most of it landed on Shadow. And boy, he was not a happy hedgehog filled with flowers and rainbows right then.
Shadow took off his socks and shoes and went inside the brown colored water and slid the water proof curtains closed before turning on the shower head. He shot the water at the dog as he held him down, forcing the dog to lay down. “You better stay down or else Shadow’s gonna drown you!” he threatened, wearing half a grin and half a scowl. You can just see how annoyed he was. Actually, if you really thought about it, you could almost see the Mobian with a popped vain on his forehead.
The dog whimpered and begged, howled and bucked, trying to get away. But the Ultimate Lifeform’s ultimate grip was too ultimately strong, and he couldn’t move more than an inch.
Finally giving up, he let the water spray him in the face, his underside, his back and his tail with loud whines.
Grabbing a nearby comb that he usually used for combing his chest fur, the supposed ‘master’ of the pet ran it through his pet’s now a brighter blue pelt, taking the access dirt and dust out, as well as getting rid of the minor knots it had.
Finally, Shadow got off his cobalt colored pet and pulled the plug in the bathtub and let the mucky water flow down the drain.
He picked up the dog again and out onto the towel on the ground, countless droplets of water falling down onto the towel.
“Feeling clean yet?” Shadow muttered, getting two other drying towels, one for the dog and one for himself.
…and that was when he got blue fur and water shaken in his face.
XXX
Shadow had just finished drying his pet with the towel, and then combing his fur again, before blow drying him…and then brushing it down again.
Finally happy at how the dog looked – a body full of welcome-looking fluffy blue fur without a speck of dirt in sight – Shadow had finally settled down onto his bed in his bedroom.
Unfortunately, the damp part on his bed sheet was still there. But the hedgehog realized right then that he was way too exhausted to even think about changing it…so he let it be as he crashed into his bed for the second time that day.
He flicked off the lights in the room as a habit and closed his eyes…and almost fall asleep…before the dog climbed onto the bed as well, onto him, and settled down on Shadow’s chest.
Having no more strength to push him off, the two fell asleep in that position, warm from each other’s body heat.
Huhuhu. Told you so. Not exactly yaoi…but mild Sonic x Shadow. X33 But it’s cuuuuuute~~~ And don’t worry. Shadow’ll name him soon. Real soon~ >w>
Chapters will take a little longer than usual to update because I want to draw a picture for every chapter I write. Sooooooo, (unless you wanna draw for me,) it’ll take a little longer. And I have been a bit busy these days with all the lessons and homework and all. Plus my laziness. Ugh, is this even summer anymore? D:
REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK PLEASE~
One last thing: Which story should I update?~ RiJ (Romance in Japan), The Kings of Sheldon, or My Shadowy Hero? Or should I just keep on posting new chapters for this story? :3
