That’s right; I had to stay in Shadow’s room for the night because I gave mine to Pearl. I snuggled next to him, and I accidentally woke him up.\n“Sorry…Merry Christmas!” I said, looking away as he looked at me, but then something caught my eye. Shadow looked over at what I was staring at, and he quickly covered it.\n“I-it’s not what it looks like!” he stammered, obviously embarrassed. I couldn’t help but giggle; I’ve never seen Shadow act like this. I rub his shoulder in a comforting way.\n“It’s okay, Shadow,” I say, “That’s perfectly normal.”\n“How is it [i]normal[/i]?!”\n“Well…I think it shows that you have a healthy mind and body… I think…”\n “You sure?”\n“Yes, I’m sure!”\n“Then why are you so nervous. It’s almost as if you’re lying.”\n“N-no! Why would I do that?! I don’t know much about the male body, okay?!”\nShadow smirked. “Oh really...Do you maybe want me to teach you about it?”\nI was shocked at what he just said, and I was about to say something when Amy burst through the door, holding a stick with a mistletoe at the other end of it. “MERRY CHRISTMAS, YOU TWO!”\n“Amy, you’re gonna wake everyone else up,” I said.\n“Everyone else [i]is[/i] up.”\n“Oh…” I replied, dumbfounded.\n“Um, Amy?” Shadow said, looking at the mistletoe, “Why do you have that? Were you trying to get Sonic to kiss you?”\n“Not really, but that’s a great idea!” Amy said, walking closer to us.\n“Amy, we’re not gonna kiss,” I told her, slightly annoyed. Then she gave me a “you know you want to” look. I did want to. I really did, but I’m afraid of Shadow rejecting me.\nWe stayed where we were in silence, and it became obvious Amy wasn’t leaving without seeing us kiss. I expected Shadow to just up and leave, but he didn’t. I guess it hasn’t gone down, has it? I was about to leave when I felt a hand grab my left arm. I expected it to be Amy, but in reality, it was Shadow.\n“No pictures,” he said as he pulled me over to him and kissed me. It ended just as fast as it had started, and he added, “And this doesn’t mean [i]anything[/i]!”\n“Yay! I gotta tell Rouge!” the pink hedgehog said as she ran out the door. I got out of bed and stretched. \n“So... I take it you don’t like me that way?” I suddenly blurted out.\n“I’m not saying I love you…” the black hedgehog responded, “but I’m not saying I don’t love you either.” I glanced over at him to see him lost in thought. “To be honest, I don’t know what I feel for you right now. Are you just a friend? Are you a best friend? My one and only…?”\nI smile; it’s not every day Shadow expresses his feelings to me. “Well, I hope you find out soon, now let me just find my Christmas dress, and I’ll be out of your way.”\n\n“Hey, Pearl! How’d you sleep?” I asked as I walked into the kitchen.\n“Good. It was better than being on the couch,” Pearl replied, “I heard that Amy made you and Shadow kiss. What’s all the commotion with that, anyway?”\n“Yes, she did,” I told her, “Um… you see, I told Amy and Rouge that, well, I have a crush on Shadow, and now they’re doing all it takes to get Shadow to realize my feelings for him. Don’t get me wrong; I’m grateful for that, but I want our relationship to grow and develop. It’s just they don’t seem to get it!”\n“Speaking of which, where [i]is[/i] Shadow?” the pink fox asked.\n“Right here,” said a dark voice, causing me to jump.\n“Shadow?! How long have you been there?” I asked in shock.\n“Ever since you said you were grateful for something someone was doing.”\n“Who wants CINNAMON ROLLS?” Sonic asked as he placed a tray of them on the table. Everyone got one…except Shadow. Darlene noticed this and got an extra. She walked over to Shadow and asked, “Want one?”\nHe grabbed the extra one and eyed it as if it might be filled with poison. I ate the rest of mine while waiting for Shadow to take a bite. He soon did, and he said, “It’s okay.”\nI smile. “I’m glad you like it.”\nA bit later, when everyone was in the living room, Sonic walked over to us and asked, “How are they?”\n“Delicious!” I say.\n“Okay,” Shadow responded.\n“Oh no! Darlene!” all 3 of us heard Amy say. We look up to see Sonic and I were standing under the mistletoe Amy put up yesterday. Sonic and I look at each other, and he scratched the back of his head nervously. I glanced at Shadow nervously, and he looked indifferent…except his free hand, which was clenched into a fist.\nI looked back to Sonic, who now was closer to me. He placed his hands on my shoulders and gently kissed me. My muzzle turned completely red in embarrassment. We then looked away , avoiding eye contact with each other.\nI ran over to the Christmas tree and asked everyone, “How about we exchange gifts, shall we?”\nEveryone looked at each other. Then Pearl walked over to me and sat down, and everyone else followed.\n\nAfter that, the day went pretty smoothly. We all exchanged gifts. We played games. Even Amy finally got Sonic under the mistletoe, though it was a struggle to get him to kiss her. Shadow had to hold him down until Amy got a kiss in.\n“Hey! What’s the big deal?!” Sonic had said.\n“I was forced to kiss Darlene, now you have to suffer the same fate,” Shadow had replied in a devilish tone, and then the Blue Blur was kissed by Amy.\nIt was nighttime, and I had to sleep in Shadow’s room again. He was already covered up, lost in thought. I got covered up as well and snuggled up next to him, causing him to flinch away.\n“Come on, Shads. Where’s the Christmas spirit?”\n“Christmas is over.”\n“I know, but still. Smile a little. Spend time with the ones you love,” I reply. Shadow seemed to ponder what I said and suddenly pulled me closer to him.\n“You make me feel weak…” I heard him mumble, “I’m the Ultimate Life Form. I’m supposed to be stronger than this. I don’t need anyone.”\n“Shadow, sometimes you need someone to help you though problems in your life. I know you don’t want to be attached to someone just to see him or her die, but everyone should have at least someone that they trust enough to talk to.” Shadow stared at me as I grabbed my 3DS and began to play Pokémon Alpha Sapphire.\n“…Darlene…?”\n“Hm?”\n“I’m a bit curious. What’s your relationship with Sonic?”\nI sigh; after the whole incident that happened earlier, I should have known this was coming. “I will admit, I used to have a crush on Sonic, but now he’s a bit like an older brother to me.” Then a thought struck me. I paused my game and turned to Shadow. “Why did you want to know?”\n“Uh…” Shadow was speechless for a bit. “I don’t really know. It’s just been bugging me the whole day since you had to kiss him.”\nI couldn’t help but smile. “Um, is it possible that you’re jealous of Sonic?”\n“Me? Jealous? No,no,no,no,no. I’m not in love with anyone. I’m not jealous of anyone,” he retaliated, crossing his arms and turning his head away from me. He then laid down, apparently trying to go to sleep. I save my game and stop, laying down as well. I look up at the ceiling, as I wasn’t that sleepy yet.\nThen I heard snoring.\nI turned over to the Black Blur, who was sound asleep. Something about him sleeping peacefully made me smile. I snuggled up close to him and kiss him on the lips. I couldn’t help it; he looked so peaceful.\nAs I closed my eyes, trying to go to sleep, I began to hear him mumble things in his sleep.\n“No…Sonic, get away from her… Don’t take her away…”\n[i]Don’t take who away? Maria?[/i] I thought, [i]No, why would Sonic take[/i] Maria [i]away?[/i]\n“No, stop. Don’t. I…I love-“\nHe stopped in mid-sentence. I opened one eye to see that he must have woken himself up.\n“You were talking in your sleep,” I informed him, making him look at me, “Who was Sonic taking away?”\nHe stared at me with a black expression. Then, from what little light I had, I could see his cheeks turn red, and he turned to his left.\n“I-it was nothing. Forget it,” he responded. A bit later, snoring was heard once again.\n[i]Hm,[/i] I thought before closing my eyes once again, [i]I’m getting a sense of déjà vu.[/i]\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "Darlene’s POV:

“…Darlene…?”
“Hm?”
“I’m a bit curious. What’s your relationship with Sonic?”

Don’t take who away? Maria? I thought, No, why would Sonic take Maria away?
“No, stop. Don’t. I…I love-“

“You were talking in your sleep,” I informed him, making him look at me, “Who was Sonic taking away?”
