Sonadow AU eheheehe i keep forgetting how cringe my older chapters were and super out of date BUT ITS ALR GNG ITS FINE SONG: SLOW IT DOWN BY FELIX OF STRAY KIDS --- this song really fits this chapter really well EHEHEHEHEH Chapter 4 My Dreams Like to Haunt Me “Shadow! Knock it off!” I said, as he booped me on the nose again. “How can I? You’re just adorable!” I made an angry expression at him. “Also full of anger.” I was in the school hallway with him, my shoulder leaning against my locker. He was facing towards me. He was wearing a leather jacket with printed flames on it. I swear he wore that thing every day when I got it for him for his birthday. I think he got it tailored whenever he grew. He was wearing black faded-out jeans with a belt that read “Best Cowboy in the West”. His shoes were white, red, and black, with yellow-orange rings on the ankles. He looked amazing in anything. I was holding my Trig textbook and notebook, with a few jammed papers sticking out from both. Shadow was holding one, too, but also a binder. He was always more organized than I was. I should get him to teach me. A loud chiming sound repeated a few times in the hallway; the bell rang. “Well, Trig's starting now. We'd better go.” I turned to my left and started to make my way down the hall. Shadow wrapped his arm over my shoulder and pulled me close as we walked to class. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Oh, c’mon, where is he? Shadow was supposed to be here 20 minutes ago, but he never showed. What was going on? Then I heard footsteps behind me. Then the figure was walking towards me, and I crossed my arms, knowing exactly who it was. “Shadow! You were supposed to be here 20 minutes ago! Where were you?!” He sat down on the grass and placed the pink box in front of me. “Sorry, sorry! The store kept me waiting much longer than usual. The place was packed.” It was Valentine's Day, meaning everyone wanted to buy cupcakes for their loved ones. I took the box of cupcakes and tossed him the bag of fudge brownies. “Don’t get a total sugar high on those, okay? I know my baking is that good, but I don’t want you acting silly, so I don’t have to drive you back home. Capisce?” “Capisce.” It was dark out in the park, but the grass was soft, due to it having drizzled not that long ago, so it was a little moist. I looked up; the stars were clearer than newly cleaned glass. I placed the pink box at my feet, took a cupcake, and lay down on my back. Shadow lay down beside me, and I repositioned myself, for my head was on his chest. He wrapped his free hand around me, while his other hand was holding one of the fudge brownies I baked. We stared at the stars for a while, but then I sat up. “What’s wrong, Speedy? Not your luxury couch, I assume?” “Nah, you're even better.” I held up my 3rd or 4th cupcake. “Let’s make a toast.” “A toast? Where are we, at the Queen’s dinner party?” I smiled and held up my cupcake. “Let's make a promise. That nothing will ever happen to each other as long as each of us is alive. And we will always have each other’s backs and be there for each other. And….” I paused. “...and if one of us dies, we won’t spend the rest of our lives moping. We will continue with our lives, love again, and go on.” “But I’ll still love you.” “I never said stop loving!” I continued. “And always be loyal to each other.” Shadow smirked his trademark smirk and leaned his fudge brownie towards my cupcake. But he kept going, right up to my face as he gave me a quick, surprise kiss. He pulled away. “Oops, I went too far,” he replied, his face not looking sorry at all. I laughed. “So, cheers.” “Cheers.” And everything blurred in this so-called reality, as I felt tears roll down my cheeks as I opened my eyes to my real reality.
