Sonic woke up the next day and yawned. He looked next to him, seeing that shadow was already gone and can hear barking right outside the cave. He know that shadow was getting the humans to help him with his scars.

"Does he care about me that much?" Sonic thought to himself with a blush on his muzzle.

Sonic just shook off the blush and decided to take a nap alittle longer for now as he wait. Shadow on the other hand was barking to get the humans attention. One of the humans heard the black wolf as he walked by and opened the gate to follow shadow to where his cave is. The young human stopped to see the black male was infornt of the cave, walking inside the cave and can see the blue male was hurt badly. So, he called the others to come and help on his radio. Shadow stepped in the cave and walked towards sonic.

"It will be ok" Said shadow calmly to sonic.

Then the others humans come with an first aid-kit to heal the blue male. The Humans walked slowly towards the scared blue male. Sonic then growled at them, but shadow stopped him by nuzzling. Sonic blush and lowered his head down to let the humans know that he will let they come closer to heal his wounds as shadow stay by him. After a few hours of bandaging the blue male, they soon left and leaving the two alone to let them rest for the day.

"You alright?" Asked shadow sitting next to sonic.

"Yeah, I'm fine" Sonic said sadly as he looked down with his head still down.

"Are you sure?.. You look sad from something" Said shadow.

Sonic signed, he don't wont to talk about it, but he trust shadow even if he was mean to him at first and decided to talk to him.

"Well, I was afraid" Said sonic closing his eyes.

"Afraid of what?" Asked shadow confused of that.

"Of the other wolves here, cuz.. I.. I'm in heat" Said sonic too scared to reopened his eyes.

"That's what I smelled earlier, so it was you" Said shadow a little surprise that the sweet smell come from him.

"Don't tell me you will..." Said sonic looking up at shadow with a worried expression on his face.

"What!?.. No, I'm not going to do that" Said shadow.

"And why'd you save me then?" Said sonic blushing alittle.

"I don't know... I had this feeling to save you" Said shadow looking away with a blush on his muzzle.

Sonic looked down at his paw and back at shadow with a blush. Shadow had this warm feeling in his chest that happen when he's next to sonic and it's not that sonic was in heat. It was something else that he don't wont to leave sonic here alone, until he somehow find out whats this feeling is. Shadow was thinking, if he this feeling or not.

"Uh... Shadow?" Sonic Asked as he tilt his head at shadow.

"Huh?.. What?" Said shadow snapped out his thinking and looked at sonic.

"Do you.. Hmm.. Like me, shadow? Asked sonic with a cute face and blushing.

Shadow froze and speechless at what sonic just said to him with a full red blush on his muzzle. He just stood there with nothing to say to this. Sonic felt bad of saying it out loud, standing up and walk towards the cave's entrance to leave, but as he got closer to the cave's entrance. Something was pulling him back in the cave by his tail. sonic looked back and saw it was shadow that grab his tail. Shadow was still blushing and then let go of sonic's tail to be sure that he wont go just yet. Shadow looked away from sonic.

"What's wrong, shadow?" Asked sonic confuse.

"Well, I.. I..." Said shadow still blushing and closing his eyes. "I love you, sonic!" Shouted out loud.

Shadow quickly turn around looking at the back of the cave away from sonic. He wasn't sure if sonic love him the same way. So, he just waited for to be turn down. Shadow don't wont to be heart broken from the only one he had feeling for.

"It's ok, if you don't feel the same way for me" Said shadow dropping his head down.

Sonic was shocked to hear what shadow just said that out of the blue, but shook his head and walk towards to shadow's side. He licked shadow's cheek and waited for shadow to open his flaming red eyes. Shadow blushed even more of that and looked to sonic that also blushing beside him.

"I love you too, shadow" Sonic said as he nuzzled shadow's neck with a smile.

"Y.. You do?" Asked shadow with a blush.

"Yes" Said sonic still nuzzling shadow's soft white fur.

Shadow blushed and smiled at sonic that he accept to be his mate. He then licked sonic's muzzle and nuzzled him cheek. Sonic did the same as he happily give shadow the love he always wonted in his life. Sonic and shadow, layed down on the soft nest-like bed, Smiling and nuzzling each other to sleep. Shadow was happy to have a pretty blue uke wolf as his mate and to live together, but he don't know what become of him in a few days to come.
