Description: Shadow and X decide to go on a date, but each place they try seems to not work…I wonder why?

Shadow taps his fingers against the table he’s sitting at outside Rose’s Bakery with an annoyed expression, leaning on one of his hands as he checks his watch.
“They’re late…Why must that be the thing they have in common with the Faker?” Shadow asks aloud, to no one in particular.
Shadow seems to be wearing the red hoodie X had gifted to him, smiling slightly as he remembered when it was given to him.
Shadow gets cut out of his train of thought seeing X in the distance, them quickly rushing over to the table before hunching over, hands on their knees, catching their breath.
“You good?” Shadow asks, and X nods, standing back up straight, sitting on the chair across from Shadow.
X and Shadow share a quick smile but they both quickly fade hearing some citizens scream from seeing X.
X’s ears lower involuntarily and they sigh.
“Never going to get used to that, huh?” Shadow asks. “Took me a while to get used to it, too.”
“Shadow, as much as I don’t mind you bringing your partner here, they’re scaring away the customers…” Amy mutters after opening the door. “Could you two, maybe…have your date elsewhere? Please?”
X’s ears lower more but they sadly nod, getting up from their seat and clenching their arms. Shadow lets out a sigh, also standing up.
“Fine then. Come on, X.” Shadow states, gently holding X’s left hand as he pulls them away from the table. “Chaos…CONTROL!”
The two are suddenly teleported to a public park, specifically the one in Sunset Park Zone.
X looks around the place for a moment, taking in the sights.
“Nice, isn’t it?” Shadow asks, causing X to nod happily with a grin on their face. Shadow lightly chuckles at their enthusiasm. “C’mon. We have a lot to see.”
The two walk for a while, taking in the sights, before their peaceful time is once again interrupted, this time by the tons of stares they’re receiving.
“…Uncomfortable…” X mutters, clenching their arms, their ears down.
Shadow’s ear flicks and he growls.
“CAN’T YOU FUCKERS MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS?!” Shadow yells, causing X to flinch.
Everyone quickly looks away, and Shadow loudly sighs.
“Forget this fucking place, let’s go somewhere away from the public.” Shadow states.
X silently agrees, nodding slightly as Shadow Chaos-Controls them to a secret area, specifically a hidden spot in the Rainy Savanna.
“…Nicer.” X mutters with a small smile.
Shadow mirrors X’s expression, and the two take a seat under the trees, letting the rain gently hit their quills.
The peace, again, doesn’t last long, as it suddenly starts pouring down rain, soaking the two hedgies.
Shadow quickly teleports them back to his and Rouge’s shared apartment, grumbling once there.
Shadow’s face quickly becomes one of concern, though, when he hears X quietly starting to sob.
“X, what’s-”
“‘m sorry…” X mumbles, sniffling slightly
“What do you have to be sorry for?” Shadow asks, wiping away some of X’s tears as X mutters, “I…ruined our date…”
“X, none of what happened today was your fault.” Shadow says, gently caressing X’s cheek with the hand that was wiping away their tears just a moment earlier.
“But…the public-”
“The public screams at anything they don’t understand.” Shadow states, cutting X off. “Trust me, none of this was your fault.”
“…Cuddle…?” X asks meekly.
“After we dry off, then yes. We can cuddle.” Shadow says with a soft smile.
After the two dried off, they spent the rest of the night on the couch, cuddling under a blanket while watching Chao In Space 2.
…At least, until Rouge got home and scolded Shadow for forgetting to clean up the puddle that accumulated under the two while Shadow was cheering X up.
Let’s just say that the two decided to have dates away from the public from now on…
