Fandom A Rose And A Thorn (Shadow x Amy)

Vex blushed and chuckled softly. "I...kinda was....waiting for you. I got worried and...well...I just stayed here." He admitted. It was somewhat of the truth but it was as far as he would get.
 
Blaze sighed as they headed to the elevator, "I'm sorry if I seem... uptight to you, Vex. Your Doctor believes that ruling means telling everybody what to do, but really it means everybody will be telling me what to do. I've been trained and I've studied and when my father passes on, I will labour under that burden of responsibility my whole life. He is bedridden in his sickness even now; I have to take on many of his duties, as well as the guarding of the Sol Emeralds. I'm 20, and I've had 14 offers of marriage from various princes and nobles, none of whom I've met in person. My father hasn't pressed the matter yet, but I must choose a suitor by my 25th birthday. I am not used to... freedom."
 
"No...you don't uptight me. I'm not foreign to monarchy but I haven't met anyone who is under that place of rule....that is until I met you. You must be strong and....don't let up. Are your physicians doing anything to help your father get well? Do you wish to choose one of nobles that have asked you for your hand in marriage?" Vex asked, curious about how things worked in her dimension.
 
Blaze frowned, "I'm a princess, Vex. I don't get a choice, any more than you chose to be a jackal. Even if my father recovers from his sickness, he'll still die one day. I have to do what's right for my people. And that includes my choice in suitors - I have to choose somebody who strengthens my kingdom, whether I like them or not. My father and mother both loved me, but never mind separate beds; they slept in separate rooms..." she sighed, "Such is the sorry fate of first in line to the throne."
 
Vex moved his hand to her shoulder and he stared at Blaze. "I'm...I'm sorry to hear that. It's a shame that you're going through that in your dimension. I just wish I could help you in your kingdom...." He said quietly.
 
"It's not your fault..." the elevator dinged open, "It's just the way things are for princesses," Blaze smiled a little bit, "To be honest, being here, deposed and trying to get back... this is the free-est I've been in years. Actually having a choice. Choosing to help my people, not having to serve them. I suppose that must sound confusing. But having a chance like this... to do what I really want... that means a lot to me. These moments... I cherish them. I keep them close in my heart and remember them and that's how I get by - knowing I've made the right choice."

They stepped out of the elevator. Vex shouldn't be surprised to see that this floor of the embassy was particuarly lavish, for the most important of ambassadors.

"I suppose you're helping by listening," she told him, "It's hard to talk about these things back home - I can't show any weakness or doubt."
 
"People are depending on you to make choices because of your status....whereas here, you're free to make choices on you're own." Vex said, "It's not confusing at all. Fact, I understand it...maybe even better than most." He smiled lightly and looked around the room, seeing the decor.
 
"I suppose that's why I told Shadow he had to be responsible," Blaze answered, "But it's still true. If you blame other people for what you've done, you admit they have a hold over you. That makes you a slave to them. There was a time that was true, but now he needs to shake that habit off. And I'm certainly not going to stand around listening to him claiming that Sonic is the reason he's used his sexual organs," she snorted and looked at Vex, "Just like you shouldn't blame Sonic for Infinite's mistakes - you enslave both him, and yourself."
 
"You're right.....I shouldn't do that. That's why I crushed the helmet. If only we met during the war....you would've changed my perspective on things and this would've been easier. Guess old habits are hard to get rid of but you have to be smart and make new habits to replace the old." Vex responded, slowly understanding.
 
"Habits make things stay the same," Blaze smiled a bit more, "My father always says that you have to keep moving forwards... otherwise you'll fall."
 
"Huh....your father sounds like a wise person." Vex said quietly as he accidentally levitated again.


After speaking with Vex and getting some sleep, Sonic knew what had to happen and needed to be done when he reached Amy's apartment. "Make her change her mind....then she'll be mine again." He said quietly to himself as he did his morning stretches in the sand and got into a running position. Sonic grinned then he took off running towards the city and towards Amy's.
 
Amy was almost ready to go out, her hand on the doorknob itself, when there was a hard, rapid knock at the door. She wondered if it was Shadow. That would be nice... although it was probably somebody else. It could be Blaze here to check that Shadow wasn't here...

She admonished herself for wondering who it was, and just opened the door.

"Oh... Sonic," she smiled. It wasn't half-hearted, she was always glad to see him, he was her friend and her hero... but in comparison to their last meeting, it must seem wan and faded. Because she just didn't love him any more, "I was actually... about to go to work..."
 
"Well, cancel it. I need to have a talk with you." Sonic said urgently as he moved Amy gently out of his way and entered her apartment, "This is big, Amy, I swear."
 
"BIg like my 18th birthday?" Amy asked, her tone cutting, "Or big like your ego?"

She closed the door, wondering what kind of pathetic apologies he had in store for her.
 
Sonic winced at the remark. "Ouch.... but you've got to listen to me, please. I didn't realize it but I want you to understand that Shadow.....he's not the one for you." He said.
 
Amy coughed, "Me... and Shadow?" she smiled fakely, "After one little date in which you sent him to replace you? Sonic, you're joking, right?"

He was joking. Or just making wild accusations. He couldn't possibly know... could he?
 
"No, I'm not joking at all. I'm being serious. He isn't the right one for you. I was nervous and put him in the spotlight by accident." Sonic said to her but his mind added, Dirty traitor...
 
"I can choose for myself, thankyou so very much. What do you even think happened last night?" Amy asked him sharply, "I had a good time. Without you. That's all."
 
"That's because he took advantage of you! I wouldn't do such a thing." Sonic retorted, watching her and starting to get furious.
 
"This is... this is just stupid," Amy insisted, "You don't... you don't actually think we... you don't actually think we... did something? On a first date that wasn't a date?" she laughed nervously, "Nothing happened, except me realising that it was stupid of me to chase you all these years. It wasn't good for either of us. Why do you care?"
 
"Because I care about you." Sonic said, balling his hand into a fist but he unraveled it, breathing slowly, "I care about....you. That's why I was very nervous to ask you and sent Shadow instead."
 
"Well... it's too late for that now," Amy replied, "And I don't... I didn't..." she looked at him, and remembered the feel and smell of Shadow and her sweating together last night, "You do care, don't you?" she asked, "But you don't care about me... you just care that Shadow had sex with me! Well that's just... that's just tough on you, isn't it?"
 
"What?! You had sex with him?! I do care for you!" Sonic responded and started towards her, "I wouldn't care if we did date and didn't do sex. I would be fine with being with you."
