Blind Date ch8

Krissie: so here we are. I'm writing this in a spiral and then typing it on my phone.

"So what happened after that?" Shadow asked from his seat next to Amy.
Amy had reclined backwards to look up at the canopy of the tree. She liked the kaleidoscope effect it created. "We jumped into a pile of leaves. And then a few days later fails surprised me by splitting his birthday with me."
"That was nice of him." Shadow commented. He guess he could forgive the fox now.
"Yeah, he even convinced Sonic to pull out my chair for me like I was a princess!" Amy chuckled at the memory.
Shadow nodded as he looked at her. A warm feeling came to his chest. It reminded him of something. The memory was vague, but he recalled Maria describing this feeling to him. She said it was what people felt towards their pets. He shook his head. He didnt want to think of Amy Rose as some stray puppy he found and adopted.
"What is your family like?" He almost murmured, but Amy heard it.
"My family?" Amy cocked her head to the side. "Why do you ask?"
Shadow shrugged. "You rarely mention them. So I guess I'm curious."
Amy licked her lips nervously. "I didn't want to make conversations awkward. I mean, almost everyone was orphaned. I didn't want to feel like I was gloating that I still had family." Amy sighed as she wrapped her arms tightly around herself.
Shadow nodded. "That makes sense. People always yearn for what they don't have."
"You're no exception yourself, Shadow," Amy lazily swatted at his leg. It was all she could reach while laying om the ground.
Shadow shrugged. "I still want to know about your family. I won't feel awkward about it too."
Amy giggled as she rolled onto her stomach and plucked at the grass. "Well... I have a cousin. His name is Rob. He lives in Mercia. Rob is..." Amy paused as she searched for the right word. "An archer. He's really good at it too. His wife is Marian. She's really nice. I haven't had much of a chance to visit Mercia, so we haven't gotten close. But she's nice. They have a son around Alexis' age."
"Oh really?" Shadow mused. "Does he cause a lot of trouble for a 10 year old?"
Amy burst into laughter. "Not as much as I did. But that's just the way Jon is. He's hyper."
"But?" Shadow encouraged.
"He gets scared easily if his parents aren't there," Amy gave a huge grin, "It's cute."
"I am certain that boys his age don't like to be referred to as cute." Shadow mused.
"Maybe," Amy shrugged as she rolled onto her back, "But I can't think of a better word to describe him."
"Poor kid, I feel bad for him." Shadow gave an exaggerated sigh.
Amy laughed at Shadow's pretend pity.
Shadow leaned over the pink hedgehog. Amy felt her breath get caught in her throat. Shadow was less than a foot from her face. "What about your parents?"
Amy went from trying not to blush to  chewing on her lip. She glanced to the side so she wouldn't look at him. She saw some kids playing tag. A light bulb went off above her head. Amy shot her arm out and landed on Shadow's arm. "Tag you're it!" She yelled before rolling over in the opposite direction. She jolted up and dashed away while Shadow was still dumbfounded by the sudden response. Amy wasn't ready to talk about her parents yet.
Shadow stared after Amy as he processed what had happened. He would have to drop the subject of her parents for now, but that didn't mean he would let her get away that easily. He waited till she dashed behind a tree.
He was by the tree in a second and watched Amy take huge breathes for a moment. Sweat was already building at the nape of her neck. Her chest lifted up and down at large long intervals. He noted that Amy shouldn't do too much of a workout in the outfit she was wearing. It looked like  her breasts were about to burst out of it at any moment.
Shadow turned his head and eyes to Amy's face, a slight sense of guilt or shame rooting in his mind. He would deal with it later.
"Boo." He spoke causing Amy to jump.
"Shadow, hey!" Amy slowly backed away from him.
"Are we running away Rose?" Shadow smirked.
"Well," Amy gave a nervous grin, "You are it. And well..." Amy dashed off into another direction.
Shadow shook his head before staring intently at her retreating form. If she wanted to run from him like prey, fine. He would treat her like pray.
Shadow allowed Amy to run a little way away and hide from him in some random spot before he appeared next to her. He wore his smirk as he said boo or some silly stereotypical ghost sound. Amy would yelp and then back away before dashing off.
Shadow finally decided to end the game when Amy stumbled and her skirt flared up. Shadow was not prepared to see lacey magenta underwear.
He tilted his head back and held his nose once he realized it was bleeding. He took a few breaths as he kept an eye out on where Amy would hide. Once he was sure that the bleeding had stopped, he zipped to where Amy was hiding. She was leaning against another tree catching her breath. He grabbed her arm gently.
"Caught you," he stated blanded as Amy yelped.
"Well, it looks like I'm it," amy gasped for air as she tried to laugh.
Shadow shook his head, "It's time to get you home so you can rest."
Amy smiled at that. A bath sounded great to her to her right now.
The two walked home in silence. Shadow didn't let go of Amy's hand the whole time. He was sure if she wondered off on her own, she would pass out somewhere and sleep for a good two days. Several people stopped and gawked at them. Those in groups huddled together and murmured to each other about the sight. Shadow saw several with phones pointed at them, probably taking photos. He, however, didn't have the time to care about how random strangers on the internet would react to photos of him walking with Rose. The internet freaked out when he went to buy a blender and that's when he just checked out of the internet.
They arrived at Amy's home. Shadow finally let go of Amy's hand so she could unlock her door.
"Today was really fun!" Amy stated as she opened the door.
"It was." Shadow nodded. "Get plenty of rest, Rose."
Amy giggled as she took off her shoes. "I will right after a nice long bath. She placed her shoes by the door as she stood on her porch with Shadow. "Get home safe Shadow." Amy held her hands in front of her chest. She wanted to hug him, but Shadow made it clear long ago that he didn't like hugs often. He restricted Amy to four hugs a month and she already used up all of those hugs this month.
Shadow pulled Amy into a hug. Amy's eyes widen as he squeezed her tight. Amy wrapped her arms around him and gave a soft squeeze. Shadow found himself smiling as he burried his nose into Amy's quills. She smelled lightly of strawberry shampoo, a light peach perfume, mixed with sweat from running around the park. He liked the way the scents mixed together and he was sure Amy had smelt more alluring earlier in the day before she ran like mad in the park. He regretted not taking the time to actually smell her earlier.
Shadow pulled away. His face going back to it's normal everyday frown as he did. "Good night Rose," he nodded his head before leaving.
"Good night Shadow," Amy waved as she stepped into her house and closed the door. Her face was bright red as she walked to get her bath ready.
Shadow had hugged her. Hugged her! He had never hugged her before. It was always her hugging him and him standing still like a dead fish. She would have to mark this day on the calendar as her first hug with Shadow. She wondered if this ment she could hug him more then four times a month now too. She would ask him later.
