Chapter 10: It's (never) too late to apologize.

It was a tedious Saturday afternoon...Time 3:37 p.m.

The fatigue Amy Rose wobbly walked up towards the window; pressing both her hands on the glass surface, the minute she stops. She pushes her own weight onto the see-through mirror looking outside from in, trying to stand straight without keeling over.

"What is this?" Amy almost whispered, eying the weather forecast. "We just had a clear day yesterday." Her half-lidded verde eyes glanced up more.

Looking out the window a mass of thick grey cloud's overcast the entire deep forest area, giving off it's awful appearance. The caliginous cloud's completely blocked any sunlight or the sun itself from showing. The murkiness from above looked lifeless, dense; it even brought such laziness on a Saturday afternoon. Though that couldn't be said the same way for Amy, she felt more than lazy. As Amy continues to look outside the window, she can almost tell a breeze was coming in. Especially the way how the trees were swaying in one direction and specs of snow were flying off the bushes. The cloud's darkened and the pink flower shuddered. Remembering how her situation was when she was stuck in a bad winter storm similar to whatever this weather was going to be.

Amy focused her sensation from the chills she's been receiving from her palms as they lay flat on the window surface. "The window feels even colder than usual too...might snow later on." The tired rose assumed.

The pink flower slowly pressed her head onto the glass frame with her eyes tightly shut, feeling woozy. Soon her hands slowly slid down from the window till they suddenly both dropped back to her sides. Since this morning, Amy woke up pretty enervated and wasn't feeling like her 'cheery' self like she normally would have. Her wardrobe for today however said a lot; wearing a long ice blue T-shirt, purple sweatpants, and as far as her quills... wasn't combed out at all.

The pink flower dropped her head in discomfort. "Ugh, this headache!" She complained, in silent.

Wrinkling her face in pain, Amy lifted both of her arms just to rub her temples. Using each of her two fingers, she applied pressure just to ease the pounding feeling of her head. "How did I come down with this?" The pink flower heaved, weakly. "From work? My customers? Staying outside too long?" She shut her eyes in agony, dropping her arms to the side again. Her body slightly swayed.

A few inches from where Amy was stand...swaying was Shadow himself; lying flat in the middle of the floor with a pillow supporting his head. As always, he prefers not to wear any clothes for today except for his hover shoes and gloves...inhibitor rings also.

Hearing the pink flower talk to herself brought attention to the ebony as partly turned his neck to where Amy was standing. Shadow rose both of his brows in question. Why was Amy slowly moving back and forth like that? Shaking off his thoughts, he decided to call over the pink flower who seemingly have a hard time standing straight.

"Rose..." Shadow calmly bellowed out from the living room.

The pink flower inhaled exhaustingly and let out a strain breath as she turned her head to the voice calling her, blinking her dry eyes multiple times. "What is it, Shadow?" Amy croaked a bit.

"Away from the window." Shadow firmly ordered.

Amy gave a stubbornly soft glare at her ebony roommate. "Why?" She heaved, daintily.

Shadow returned his glare at Amy though not as intense as hers. "Because you look like you're about to keel over." Shadow addressed, silently. The ebony softens his expression, showing that he wasn't trying to be forceful. "Rose, just come away from the window." He said, in a smoother tone.

The pink flower sank her shoulders in defeat. "Whatever, I'm too drained to stand all day anyway." She indirectly gave in to Shadow's call.

With a groan, Amy shakily moved herself from the window and started walking baby steps to her sofa she calls 'bed'. Shadow watched her every move as he can already tell that Amy was not her usual bouncing, bubbling self today. His eyes narrowed casually as Amy made her way to her usual sleeping area. The fatigue pink lady places her arms in front of her just to fully grab the cushions of the couch for more support, bending over and bring her legs up just to fully lie down flat. She turned sideways, glancing at the ebony who was still on the floor relaxing.

After witnessing Amy get more comfortable and situated, Shadow centered his neck away from Amy and wrapped his arms behind his head to give it more alleviation.

Still haven't been told why she was ordered to leave the window, the pink flower pulled an exhausted looking sour face at Shadow."What's your deal, Shadow?" She lowly asked, sounding annoyed.

Shadow's ears twitched. "Lower your voice I'm trying to rest." The dark hedgehog spoke over her a bit.

"Mmm..." Amy let's it go for now.

Due to the cloudy and possibly windy day outside, it even brought a much dimmer atmosphere inside the house coming from all the windows. The kitchen, the living, the bathroom, the empty unused rooms Shadow hadn't bother to do much with, all was gloomily shaded. Not even the fireplace was igniting it's enthusiastic flames to set the warmly mood to both hedgehog's. Even though right now, it's not all that cold to both Amy and Shadow. Although the Shadow was simply resting and maybe feeling a bit "inactive" today. Amy on the other hand, was slowly feeling even more miserable because of a recent bug she's caught and how much the weather was aggravating her.

The pink flower sighed as she lay motionless on the sofa, thinking now that she won't be up to do anything for the rest of the day except try to sleep off this weird condition she has.

Amy lifted up her aching head by an inch still laying sideways."Shadow?" She whispered, as her eyes lowered wearily.

"What is it, Rose?" Shadow responds, closing his eyes.

"Think you can...make it without me cooking tonight." She uttered, whisperingly.

Shadow reopened his eyes just so he can turn his neck at the pink flower, displaying a bored look. "What's the matter with you now?" He asked, in his traditional gruff.

Amy dropped her head back down due to her pounding headache. "I feel a little sick today." She said, quietly.

"Teh, I figured." The ebony jerked his head away from Amy. "You look grotesque and don't get me started on your quills." He boasted, staring at the ceiling now.

The pink flower cringed at the hurtful word's from Shadow. "Last thing I needed right now..." She slowly fumed.

Amy snarled as her verde eyes flared with annoyance. "I just said that I'm a little sick and now my headache is really bothering me." She defended herself and quickly gripped her head for a sec, feeling the intense pain pounding against her skull. "And as far as what I look or dress right today, I don't care about my appearance." She flustered, with her ears folded back.

Scarlet eyes pierced with minor arrogance. "If you're suffering so bad then take a nap and stop whining like a little girl over a broken doll." Shadow said, with absolutely no passion in his voice at all.

"That JERK!" Verde spheres flashed with anger and aggression. The pink flower immediately jolted up her upper part of her body just to leer down at the ebony who sudden took an interest of her anger now.

Her eyes glared with intensity and soon start to become glassy. "I would if you just shut the FUCK already, Shadow!" Amy screamed the 'F' bomb at the ebony, holding back her tears.

"..."

The pink flower clutched her head AGAIN in agony due to her outburst. "I have a hard time walking, I'm not feeling good, I got this stabbing headache, and all you're doing now is making things worse for me." She loosened the grip from her head, tears oozing out from her eyes.

Amy harshly slumped back down on the sofa, turning her back to the shocked black hedgehog, who stared blankly at the upset rose after just hearing all that. Shadow didn't know what happened just now; flabbergasted, eyes wide opened, mouth somewhat gaping. "What in the-" But all thoughts were interrupted until the ebony heard a...

Sniffle.

"Is she?" He heard a whimper.

Followed by soft shallow breaths.

Shadow's gaze mildly grimace and soften at the pitiful sight of Amy, who was slightly shivering due to her sudden temper. He's never seen her like...this.

A muffle of sobs was now made coming from the pink form as she implants her face in the sofa, trembling over her own illness and frustration. Amy hid her face behind her hands as she was trying in vain to keep the tears from falling out too much. As hard as she tried to hold back the water works; the sickly feeling, the stabbing headache, the fatigue, and dealing with Shadow's insensitive remarks was too overwhelming for her. Amy only cried more.

"Th-That bu-lly...I know I look awful..." Amy weeped, shakily.

The ebony felt his chest tighten just hearing her shaky voice sound like that.

"I know we've bicker here or there but..." His mind wanders as his eyes narrowed in fault.

Shadow rose his upper body using his arms to lean back a bit, refusing to take his attention away taking from Amy.

"Rose?" Shadow called her in a hush tone.

"Leave me alone!" Amy choked back a cry almost shouting at him. "You're nothing, but a menace to me!"

The ebony gritted his teeth. "Did I really upset her?" Shadow sighed, actually feeling...yes, guilty.

Shadow completely got up on his two legs and straightened himself after laying on the floor for too long. He slowly walked up to the sobbing pink flower who was trying to bury her face further in the sofa as she sense his presence coming closer to her. The black hedgehog carefully stopped, looking down at the withering Amy before him. The pink flower's back was still turned to him, crying her little heart out.

"Rose?" Shadow called again, softly.

Amy swings an arm at Shadow gesturing him to back off. "Go away!" She sputtered, covering her eyes again.

Shadow placed a hand over his head and sighs just before he loosened his hold. "Listen to me, Rose." He whispered, in a calmer tone.

"I said, go away Shadow." Amy's red watery eyes peered through her fingers, eying Shadow.

Shadow frowned and almost looked away from Amy's pitiful demeanor. For someone who always appeared strong and tough in front of everyone, he couldn't withstand the tears coming from the pink flower's swelling eyes. It's just not her to cry like this. Without much to be said between the two hedgehogs, Amy buried her face back in her hands. She tried to tone down her crying seeing she's already spewed out her frustration's over everything else. But that didn't mean she still wanted to be left alone.

"Perhaps I should..." Shadow thought, gazing back at the distraught Amy. He half-lidded his eyes in uneasiness. "Rose, stop crying for a second." He said, mildly.

Amy's body soon curled up into a ball as she was more than upset with Shadow even attempting to talk to her. "W-What part of go away don't you understand, Sh-Shadow?" She stuttered, sadly.

"I may as well just say it...she refuses to listen to me!" He screamed to himself, wanting to stop Amy's cries of pain already.

Three,

Two,

One.

"Amy Rose, I apologize for my actions." Shadow apologized smoothly; clearly and with sincerity. Using the pink flower's first name for the first time to show how he meant every word.

Then... the sobbing went to a halt.

Followed by the shallow breathing and Amy's trembling form also went to a pause.

The pink flower uncurled herself from her fetal position, looking over her shoulder's with a confused, teary eyed look.

Shadow displayed a soft, blank expression as he continues to watch Amy. Waiting for her to speak first before he has another say in anything.

Amy leaned up a little using one of her arms just to turn half of her body around, looking over her shoulder at Shadow. Both hedgehogs looked at one another as neither made a peep. Amy's pink poofy eyes blinks as she gaze at Shadow's new expression; it was fairly soft looking...practically remorseful. Whereas Amy features only showed the last bit of her sorrow with a hint of bewilderment in her face.

Amy's face wrinkled in a sad disbelief but dares to ask Shadow again if she heard right. "You said, what?" She uttered her last sniffle.

"I'm sorry for making you cry." Shadow began, quietly. "Especially make you feel any worse than you already are right now." He almost promised.

The pink flower bit her lips...Shadow the Hedgehog was apologizing to her? The interesting part about it was that he said it in her face.

"You are, Shadow?" She asked, nervously.

Shadow half-lidded his eyes, smirking confidently. "I'm a man of my word, Amy." He said, hinting some velvety.

Amy's muzzle faintly flushed at his gentle soft scarlet eyes, piercing through her own green jewels. "Wh-wow..." Amy tried not to blush. She practically knocked herself back to her composure, causing the ebony to drop his new expression. "It's just that...you never apologize to me before." She stammered.

Shadow gave a mild shrug and went back displaying his traditional dismissal look. "There's always a first time for everything, I guess." He spoke with little emotion.

"Well then..i-it's...okay." Amy wiped the last of her tears, smiling weakly. "Apology accepted." She tried to smile, face all watered down.

Even though Shadow didn't show it but his heart skipped a beat when he saw Amy smile for the first time since all day. Relief washed over him and all over the house, knowing that maybe Amy might feel a little better later on today or tomorrow despite whatever symptom's she's going through. "I'm just grateful that she's not crying anymore." The ebony thought in silent relief.

Amy gave a dull, innocent smile at the ebony. "And I'm sorry for maybe...for overreacting and cursing you out the way I did, Shadow." Amy returned, apologetically. "I guess I got a little too sensi-" She stopped talking after Shadow throw's a hand in the air, gesturing her to not finish her sentence.

"You had every right to get upset the way you did." Shadow admitted, smoothly.

"It's just that I felt drained and this headache won't go away." Amy whined, tiredly. "Thus, I have a hard time walking and standing up straight." She heaved at the end.

"I can tell." Shadow said, a bit nonchalantly.

Sighing dejectedly, Amy flopped back down on her back looking at the ceiling with Shadow still gazing at her, displaying a semi casual sullen look. The pooped-out pink flower took a deep breath after her ordeal's.

What a a day.

"Do you know?" Shadow asked, smoothly.

Her ears perked up. "Know what?" Amy replied.

Shadow has his arms crossed. "How you strangely caught this condition?" The ebony clarified.

Amy partially looked to her right in thought trying to think of how she got ill just before she brings her attention back to Shadow. "I'm guessing maybe work." The pink flower began. "I handle a lot of costumer's on a daily basis. Just glad I'm off today." She whewed, blowing a tiny breath.

Shadow nods at Amy in understanding. "Perhaps it's a bug then." He uncrossed his arms.

The pink flower scratched her messy quills still lying on her back, grinning faintly. "Possibly." Amy hoped, sounding sleepy.

After using even more of her energy especially already been burnt-out all day, Amy rubbed her pink now turning white eyes as she started to fall into slumber. Getting the hint, Shadow believes this is a good time to give Amy her space so she can rest up.

"Rose?" Shadow asked quietly, calling Amy by her 'last' name now.

Amy raised both her brows indicating a response though her eyes were closed. "Yes, Shadow?" She said, soundly.

"Do you wish for me to give you space so you can rest?" Shadow suggested, casually.

She hid a crippling smile. "That would be perfect and thanks." Amy sighed, leaning sideways to get more comfortable.

The ebony 'hmph'. "Not at all." Shadow acknowledged, sharply turning his heel.

The handsome black hedgehog circles his body completely around and picks up his pillow he left on the floor just after he made the first step. Shadow slowly walks softly from the living, towards the dark hallway before him. Amy ear's flips each step Shadow makes as he is going further and further down to his room at the end. Finally making it to his room at the end of the hall, Shadow place his hand on the doorknob.

He twist the doorknob and opens it. "I'll come back later to start the fire." Shadow called out from the dark hallway.

"Okay." Amy replied, not to loud though.

The only sound now throughout the entire dark house was Shadow softly closing his door shut, making sure he didn't disturb the ill pink flower trying to get over her stress on everything. Now completely alone in the living room, surrounded by silence, Amy places both her arms behind her head in comfort blinking her eyes faintly.

"I'm still amazed that Shadow apologized to me..." She almost giggled, falling asleep already.

After some minutes pass by, Amy slowly started to fall asleep.

"And that smirk..."

"...was something."

The pink flower finally fell into slumber.
