"I...I-I'm sorry!"
"Hmm?"
Halting His coffee drinking, The ebony Hedge turned to see A orange-Red fennec bowing down at him. He raised an eyebrow merely in confusion towards this. What was going on?
The Fennec, Alec, Continued; "I'm so sorry for being so afraid of You, R-Really I am! I don't know why e-exactly..." He clutched himself as he began to shiver. "B-But I just get this S-Scary feeling from you, something that makes me Shiver, Something that makes my heart Jump, Something that just...Unnerves m-me."
He could hear footsteps, and a couch sound, Obviously Shadow was Up and Angry with him. It Was Understandable in His opinion, Seeing as how He WAS afraid of him. "...S-So, I don't blame Y-You, If you were to H-Hate me in response...I deserve it."
and at that point, He closed his eyes and braced for what he might say;
"Get out of my sight!"
"Such a nuisance..."
"__Disgusting Wannabe freak!__"
All that and more, He imagined Being said over and over...
..But never Once, Did He expect one of the things he'd do...
...would be petting.
"...?!"
"Raise your Head up Alec." He heard, Gruff, Dark, and presumably tired, meaning it was Shadows without a doubt.
And Alec obeyed, Looking Up into His red eyes, gazing deep into his green ones. Alex could feel internally calm whilst his body shakes in fright.
He heard the ebony Hedgehog clear his throat first. "It's Okay Alec. I didn't expect you to Like me fast as you do with Blue anyways, But it's nice to see Your getting braver. Just know this, Despite what you feel or think about me, Just know I'm a hero too like Him. So all I can hope is that You'll see that in the future."
Alec nodded, against all worries, and looked up at him with a little smile. "I-I'll try."
And Shadow only smiled lightly back. "Good."
Alec then had another question on his mind. "W-Wait...How do you know my-"
Shadow answered simply. "Amy Rose, She's mentioned you a bit, Along with Her crush on sonic many times in our friend chats."
"Oh."
