Description
Silver's POV

I woke up the following morning, first noticing that my body was sprawled over Shadow. One of my glove less hands was placed on his shoulder, and the other was intertwined with his own next to his head. His steady breathing would have had me falling back asleep, if I didn't have to work that day.

I worked at an old shopping mall, being an associate at a clothing shop. Shadow visited me once, complaining that he was "so lonely" without me. I would work there once in awhile, if I wasn't fighting off Iblis every day.

I yawned as I started to rise, but my hand was locked tightly with Shadow's.

"Where're you going this early?" A ruby opened slowly to look at me.

I crawled off of him, whispering, "I have to work today. My boss'll be wonder where I am if don't show..."

I began to leave the bed, but Shadow gripped my hand again. I turned, seeing the upset, pleading look he wore.

"Can't you stay for a few more minutes?"

His hand trailed up my arm, to my cheek. He growled softly to emphasize his point.

I smiled. "Tonight, 'kay? I promise I'll be back soon."

I went in to kiss him. Unfortunately, a little too close, for then he caught me in his trap. He grabbed hold of me and flipped me over onto the bed, so he towered over me. He began to leave butterfly kisses along my neck, until the phone began to ring next to us.

Annoyed, I answered, "Hello, Silver speaking."

A girl's voice was on the other end. "Hey Silver, it's me."

"Oh, hi Kippa."

"What's up? You're supposed to be here for your shift."

I cleared my throat a bit, slightly embarrassed, "Actually, I'm at home with my fiance."

She gasped, "Wait, what? You mean that Shadow guy you've been dating?"

"Yeah. He just proposed a few days ago."

"Aw, congratulations! I'm so happy for you!"

"Thanks, Kip."

"So, when's the big day? Have you been busy?"

"Yeah, with plans, receptions, loads of invitations...We're planning that it'll be sometime in June."

"That's great. Hey listen, I just got a brainstorm...how about I take care of your shifts, while you take a load off to get ready?"

I was almost speechless, but I found my voice. "Really? You'll do that? Kippa, you don't have to-"

She cut in, "No, no no. I'll be happy to! You don't have to worry about anything!" Kippa was one of the most generous kinds of people I had ever met.

"Well, can't I come in today?" I asked.

"No, I can handle it. It's no problem, trust me!"

"Kippa, I can't thank you enough..."

"Don't fret. You have a great time. Say hi to Shadow for me, okay?"

"All right, I will." I laughed silently. She had only met him once...

"Okay, see you later! Congrats to you two!"

"Thanks. Bye, Kippa."

I set the phone down, and looked to Shadow, who was staring at me with a confused frown.

I grinned and said, "Kippa says hi."

He chuckled as his hands made their way around my waist. "Now, where were we?"

Slyly, I wrapped my arms around his back. "Hmmm...I dunno..."

I drew myself closer, our lips nearly touching.

"...right about here..."

Knock knock.

Oh...crap.

This took the both of us by surprise, that Shadow scrambled off of me. My mother's voice was heard through the door, "Silver, are you awake?"

With my psychokinetic powers, I opened my closet door and pulled a T-shirt out. It quickly flew towards me, and I pulled it over my head. Once in awhile, I wore clothes for special occasions, work, or just for the heck of it. Hopping off the bed, I didn't realize my feet were tangled in the bed sheets. Without warning, I stumbled and fell, landing on the floor with a loud thud. My head just missed my night table by a quill.

Shadow ran over to me with a frightened expression on his face.

"Silv...!"

"I-I'm okay, Shadow..." I replied. He sighed and helped me untangle the sheets as I stood.

My mother's voice called again, "Silver, is everything alright?"

I quickly replied, "Y-Yeah, mom. It's fine! I'll be there in a minute!" I rushed over to the door and unlocked it. I smoothed my quills out and opened the door casually to see my mom with a basket of laundry, and my father with a raised eyebrow.

He asked in a gruff tone, "What's with all the racket in there? If I hadn't known any better, I'd say you and Shadow were-"

I interrupted before it got any worse, "Dad, please! It's not like that..."

Mom tried to settle us down by giggling, "Now now, you two...Son, don't you have to work this morning?"

I shook my head. "Kippa said she'll cover my shifts until the wedding and stuff is over."

Dad smiled, "Great, then you can come to church with us."

I groaned silently at the suggestion. My family was religious, so we went to any service the church offered. It was the only church in the vicinity for miles that anyone could go to whenever there was an emergency. It was probably because I was still young that I disliked going. Or, maybe it was because I could care less about my faith in a God. If He was responsible for unleashing Iblis, not Sonic or anyone else, then what was the point of relying on Him to make things right again? When I asked my father this, he hit me so hard that I couldn't be near him for weeks, saying that I should be grateful for what I had and not dying in Iblis' hellish flames.

After I fell in love with Shadow, he let me go to fewer services. From what I gathered, Shadow was atheist, so he never went to church or even believed in a God. I never argued about this, but my dad disapproved. So...

"Shadow," he called. the black hedgehog stood next to me, drawing me close to his warm body. He said nothing, but Dad knew what that meant, "How about you and Silver come to the church service this morning? I'm sure you'll find it interesting."

Shadow waved a hand and answered quietly, "I'm sorry, Dominic, but I'm not a church-goer. I don't do that kind of stuff..."

"In other words, Dad," I translated," he's atheist."

He shook his head, "I know, but this will give us time to talk...you know, and bond a bit before the wedding." He continued walking, laughing to himself.

My mother cut in, shifting her basket in her arms, "Silver, I expect you to be dressed and ready by 9:30."

"'Kay."

I shut the door and turned towards Shadow, who already unzipped his suitcase and was buttoning up a decent shirt I gave him for Christmas one year.

I bowed my head, feeling a bit of shame. "I'm sorry, Shadow."

He looked at me from his shirt. "For what, cutie?"

"Dad's never like that. He knows you don't go to church, but I'm not sure why he acted that way. You don't have to do, Shadow. It's just..."

A hand lifted my chin up to meet his blood-red eyes. He grinned and whispered, "Listen, so long as I'm with you, you don't have to worry. I'll always love you, Silver."

His hand rested on my cheek as I answered, "Aw, I love you too."

Our lips met in a kiss as we pulled closer. He then wrapped his arms around me, caressing me lustfully as our tongues engaged in battle.

Of course, he always won...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Whew! I've finally updated something! I don't know how I came up with the name, Kippa, but I thought I'd just put in a tiny additional character.

I had to spark a bit more interest into this story, so I've decided to put a little background stuff in, like religion...

Anyway, feel free to review!
