Another request! Well @dogshit-enchantment asked for matching cowboy outfits and somehow I ended up with this idea haha

I dunno if all of these count as headcanons, but here are some of the ones I got right now! :D

In no particular order;

- They don't do a lot of traditional dates. They spend a lot of time on Angel Island (or in SCU, in the woods) just hanging out and chatting. And fighting. Sparring is probably like flirting for these two XD. [they also hang out and spar like very often, but a traditional restaurant date? once in a blue moon at MOST lol] [this one is probably pretty universal lol, I dunno that most of the cast would have a normal date]

- Both of them know that the other carries heavy burdens and worries, so they want to be able to help the other when things get rough for them. They don't want to "fix" them in that stereotypical way or whatnot, they just understand that sometimes you need someone there to be a shoulder to lean on. They've been alone and they don't want the other to have to deal with it (anymore). [I feel like Knuckles in particular could feel like this, just because he's been alone for his whole life and knows how deep the isolation can get sometimes, but at the same time Shadow also knows Knuckles has had to deal with that, and wouldn't want him to HAVE to be alone anymore if he doesn't truly WANT to be alone]

- SPEAKING OF DATES I read a fic where they also kept giving each other foods that they personally enjoyed as a way of bonding and I like that. I dunno if it counts as a headcanon but I thought I'd bring it up

- Oh another one is that, especially once their relationship deepens, they can do that thing where they have a conversation based on just their expressions, and they can do it really well lol. (my mutual @/bugconnoisseur actually drew a picture based on that theory right here! it's really cute, knuxadow fans!)

- Somewhat tying into the last one, I think for them they're either dead silent or one of them is talking and sorta infodumping to the other, and there's no in-between XD.

- They probably do a lot of watching sunsets (and possibly sunrises) together, and that'd be one of their quiet sitting times.

- They don't like eye contact, but they do like each others' eyes and enjoy looking at them when the other isn't paying attention

- They like holding hands, cuddling, kisses, and nuzzling, but they DO NOT like PDA (especially with best friends of Sonic and Rouge)
