Wedding: 2.0
Shadow’s Apartment
Secret Mission: Rest and recharge!
They laid in a tangle of limbs on their bed, Shadow with his nose nuzzling into Sonic’s soft stomach while his husband carefully untwisted tinsel from his quills. They had just switched from the opposite, with Sonic resting on Shadow’s chest until all the flowers had been plucked from his head. Neither of them spoke, just enjoyed the peace and quiet and one another’s slow and steady breaths. A pile of tinsel accumulated next to the pile of flower petals.
Sonic smiled as Shadow began to purr, clearly enjoying having Sonic’s fingers running through his quills to get every last strand.
He was tempted to leave a few, considering how much Shadow enjoyed a bit of sparkle, and how pretty he looked.
He wanted to say it. To tell him how beautiful he looked. To try to express the feelings that had overcome him as he took his place beside Shadow, falling in love all over again as he stood waiting to marry him. But he didn’t want to ruin this soft, beautiful moment, so Sonic kept it to himself.
One day, he would be able to sing Shadow’s praises between kisses. He was content to wait for such a day that it wouldn’t be met with resistance.
He itched to say something, though.
“So,” he began, putting the last of the tinsel aside and scratching behind Shadow’s ear. “Same time next year?”
Perhaps Shadow had fallen asleep, exhausted from the day’s events and completely relaxed on his pillow of a husband, because it took more than a few seconds for him to respond. “Huh..?”
“What’re we gonna do different for Wedding 3.0? Personally, I still think a solid gold statue of the two of us smooching sounds sick.”
Shadow groaned, squeezing his eyes shut. “I am never marrying you again…”
Sonic hummed, tapping his muzzle in thought. “What if I divorce ya? Then you’ve gotta marry me~”
“No,” Shadow snorted, burying his face deeper into Sonic’s fur, “Then we’d just stay divorced. Forever.” He scrunched up his nose when his pillow suddenly became uncomfortably lively as Sonic laughed.
“Aw… you don’t mean that.”
“Sonic. I mean this with every fibre of my being.” Shadow lifted his head to look his husband in the eye. His beautiful, sleepy husband, who he knew was just as emotionally drained as he was and yet somehow smiling, somehow soft and lovely and wonderful.
“Yeah? What?”
Shadow stared at him a little longer. He had forgotten what he was going to say. “... Go to sleep.”
“To… what?” Sonic laughed again, pulling Shadow into his arms. “Can’t sleep. Still buzzing about today. Besides, we’re going on an actual real honeymoon tomorrow.”
“Exactly,” Shadow snuggled in, making himself comfortable once more. “We have to get up early. So sleep.”
Sonic groaned, sinking deep into the pillows. “Fiiiiiine. I’ll try…”
“Good.”
For a while, there was nothing but the sound of their heartbeats.
“... I love you, Shadow. ‘m glad I married you again. And the first time, too…”
Sonic wondered if Shadow had fallen asleep for real this time. He was quiet for a minute or two, no reaction to Sonic’s words aside from the twitch of his ear. “I’m glad, too. But next time, can we not invite so many people?”
“Heh. Yeah. That’s fair. Maybe just the two of us, next time.”
“Mmh. Just the two of us.”
“We could get married every day.”
“Sounds exhausting.”
“Mmmaybe. We could just kiss everyday.”
“Hm.”
“We already do that though so maybe–”
“Sonic.”
“Right right right. Sleep. Sorry.” The blue hedgehog pressed his lips together. “Mmph.”
“... I love you, too.” Shadow scooted just enough so that he could stretch up and press a kiss to Sonic’s chin. “Goodnight, Sonic.”
He smiled, feeling warm and loved. “Goodnight, Shadow.”
The two hedgehogs fell asleep, breathing in harmony, and dreamt of dancing in flower fields under starry skies.

MOD’S NOTES
Wow, this was quite a challenge! Having more or less one week to write and illustrate this, between work and life and everything else, I hope it doesn't come across as rushed as it felt 😅 I've really enjoyed it though, thank you to everyone for the support and for coming along on this journey with me!
I couldn’t decide for ages whether I wanted them to have wedding outfits or not. I was totally torn, especially after that one time an anon gave them suits and they actually looked lowkey cute… so I compromised; they got some time in suits, and plenty of time naked and free
I, like the Hedgehogs, had to totally wing it with the vows. I literally wrote them while I was walking the dog and tried not to give them too much thought!
I first came up with the inhibitor ring/wedding bangle with cuts from the fake Chaos Emerald FOREVER ago, back when I was certain the blog would have died out long before we reached the wedding. So glad we made it this far and I got to include it! It’s the secret project Tails and Shadow have been working on all this time hehe
On that topic, they are each wearing their wedding bangles on the same wrist as the hand with the tattoo from Wedding 1.0 (Sonic’s left hand, Shadow’s right hand)
Feel free to send in questions about the wedding! We'll hopefully be back my regular ask/art blog antics soon now that the wedding is over.
Sonic and Shadow step through a warp ring. Both are wearing ties that are far too big for them, likely borrowed from their humans. Sonic has a bandage wrapped around his nose. Shadow, arms crossed, has his eyes glued to the floor. He would rather be anywhere else.
"Hey hey hey! Sorry we're late. Had to convince this grouch to come."
Sonic wraps an arm around Shadow, whose quills bristle in retaliation before pushing him off.
"Geez dude, relax. ...Anyways, congrats! Hope we didn't miss too much."

Wedding: 2.0
Chao Gardens
1st Mission: Get ready for the Wedding before Amy whoops your ass!
Sonic found him standing on a grassy cliff, looking out at the rolling hills and peaceful Chao Gardens below. His arms were crossed–nothing unusual there–but his eyes were just a tad unfocused. Sonic popped up a few feet away, giving his husband space should he need it. “Hey, you! Rouge is looking for you. Aren’t you supposed to be getting all dolled up for some big event today~?”
A small smile graced Shadow’s muzzle. “If that’s the case, then shouldn’t you be getting ready, too?”
“Heh, probably. Just thought I could use hunting for the groom as an excuse to get in one last run and a little fresh air.” Sonic regarded his husband. While Shadow would appear calm to most, he was more than capable of spotting even his most subtle tells. He was standing up straight, for one, while Sonic knew he tended to lean to one side when relaxed. His ears twitched now and then, and he had adjusted his cuffs three times already.
He bumped his shoulder against Shadow’s. "Having second thoughts?"
Shadow rolled his eyes, although he relaxed imperceptibly at the contact. "We've been married for over a year, idiot. It's a bit late for wedding jitters."
The blue hedgehog laughed, and to Shadow the sound made even the distant melodious bells pale in comparison. "Not about me! About... this? The big wedding, hundreds of guests, music and dancing... it's a lot. You sure you're gonna be okay?"
He was quiet for a beat, considering the question. When he felt Sonic's hand slip into his own, he smiled. "I'll be fine if you're here."
Sonic grinned and gave his hand a squeeze. "Where else would I be? It's my wedding, too, y'know."
"Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if you were late."
"I'm supposed to come in after you, we already agreed I’d walk down the aisle this time–”
“THERE you are!!” The loud and unmistakably infuriated voice of Amy Rose shook the two hedgehogs to their cores. They both froze up, quills fluffing, ready to defend. “Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge has been looking all over for you! Why aren’t you getting ready?!”
“Give her more credit. She’s a better hunter than that.” Despite his attempts to seem unbothered, there was just the slightest hint of fear in Shadow’s voice; Amy may not have been the bride, but she was passionate about this wedding going off without a hitch. “If she really wanted to find me, she would have by now.”
“All right, smart ass. Just get your butt over to the marquee now and I might just spare your husband.”
Sonic choked. “Wh–don’t bring me into it!!”
“YOU,” Amy began, turning on her heel and marching right up to Sonic. Despite her short stature, Sonic felt himself shrinking down under the threat of her gaze. “You are supposed to be getting ready with me and Tails. You may be able to run fast, but prettying you up is gonna take time!”
“HEY! What’re you implying?!” Before Sonic could protest any further, Amy had his ear in a vice like grip between her thumb and forefinger. “OW ow ow ow Ames my–my ear you’re gonna rip my ear off–”
“Shoulda thought about that before you ran off!”
“I was looking for Shadow! Blame him!”
“No excuses, mister! A whole year of planning, you are not ruining this day for me!”
Sonic rolled his eyes as he was dragged away from the cliff’s edge. He cast his gaze back towards Shadow, offering a sheepish wave and a smile before wincing as Amy yanked his ear again. Shadow huffed out a quiet laugh at their antics before speeding away to find Rouge.
✧ ✧ ✧
Star-shaped fairy lights lit the marquee interior, where the Ultimate Lifeform sat on a plush stool with his eyes closed. Cream the Rabbit brushed through his spikes, carefully selecting individual quills to adorn with glittering gold tinsel. She looped each sparkling strand close to the base, brushing them through to follow Shadow’s natural quill pattern. She sang quietly as she worked, Cheese bobbing beside her, and Shadow found himself humming along.
“You had us worried, you know.” It was Rouge who spoke, somewhere close to Shadow’s closed eyes as she painted gold glitter onto his eyelids. “Blue especially. Not like you to run from anything~”
“I wasn’t running away,” Shadow grumbled, “I just lost track of time. It’s… peaceful, out here.”
“Mm, it is. But, you know, if you’re nervous–”
“I’m not nervous. I’m… excited.”
A small smile tugged at his lips as Cream planted a kiss to his temple, making an over-exaggerated ‘mwah!’ sound as she did so. “Mr Shadow isn’t scared of anything!”
“You’re right. This is why you’re my favourite.”
Cream giggled, giving his spikes one last comb through. “All finished, Mr Shadow! You look like the stars.”
The bat canted her hips and admired her own work on Shadow’s makeup. “Looks like I’m all done, too. Open up your eyes, handsome~!”
When Shadow opened his eyes–slowly, cautiously, schooling his expression–he didn’t expect to like his reflection in the handheld mirror. He took the proffered mirror and tilted his head, watching the sparkle in his makeup and tinsel glimmer as it caught the light. Under the twinkling fairy lights, he really did look like he belonged in the night sky.
“Well? How did we do?”
He wasn’t going to cry. That would be ridiculous. Not to mention it would probably ruin a good half hour of work from Rouge. But he couldn’t deny feeling a little emotional, seeing his reflection. It wasn’t so much that he liked the way he looked, but he was looking at the love of two of his dearest friends painted onto his face and woven into his quills.
Maria would have been awestruck at the sight.
“It will do.” He nodded, ignoring the way his voice trembled slightly. “Thank you both.”
They obviously saw right through him. Cream threw her arms around his neck and Rouge squeezed his arm. “Any time, darling~”
“Miss Rouge? You asked me to remind you…” the teen trailed off, glancing at where her Chao companion was trying to get into a neatly wrapped box.
“Ah! Thank you, hon, I almost forgot.” Rouge plucked the box from Cheese’s little arms and presented it to Shadow with a flourish. “Ta-dahh~!”
Shadow raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”
“You have to open it to find out, handsome.” She rolled her eyes and nudged Cream. “Boys can be so dense, hm~?”
Shadow growled quietly as he opened the box. Inside it was a beautiful velvet cat collar, bedazzled with what Shadow hoped weren't real red and blue sapphires. “I…”
“I know you and Blue aren’t the jewellery type, but Darkness strikes me as a glamorous girl~ she should at least wear it for the wedding, wouldn’t you say?”
He couldn’t help but laugh. It was so typical of Rouge. And knowing her, the sapphires probably were real. “I… thank you. It’s beautiful. She will wear it, as ridiculous as it is. Cream?”
“Got it, Mr Shadow!” She smiled and took the collar. “I’ll keep it safe.”
“We’d better get going, hon. Can’t keep your man waiting, now~”
“Oh, I’m sure he’ll be late. He always is.”
Shadow bid farewell to Cream and her Chao as Rouge pushed him out of the marquee and towards the Chao Garden, where guests would already be gathered to await the happy couple.
✧ ✧ ✧
“Aaaaaand… there! You’re all set!” Amy stepped back, looking pleased.
The outer edge of Sonic’s eyes shimmered with gold. “Do I look good? I mean, always, but you know what I mean.”
The pink hedgehog smiled and held out a mirror. “See for yourself!”
Sonic chewed on his lips. The makeup looked good. The suit was… well, it was nice. He still hated wearing suits, but at least this one fit well and looked good on him. Not that he could see the whole thing in the small mirror in front of him, but he assumed it looked good on him. And he wouldn’t have to wear it for long…
“What’s with the frown?”
“Huh?” Sonic tugged at his collar. “Eh, you know me. I’d always rather be naked~ but Rouge did a good job with the suit.” He felt Amy’s gaze burn through him. “A-and you with the makeup! Looks great!!”
“It does.”
“I just… heh… hope Shadow likes it. I know he’s gonna be standing up there looking like the most beautiful thing in the world. And I know I’m hot shit, too, but I wanna make him stare, y’know? I want him to know I think he’s worth putting in a little extra effort, even if I don’t usually like all this crap.”
Amy hummed, hands on her hips. She pinched Sonic’s cheek, then kissed it just as the hedgehog started to complain. “Shadow is obsessed with you. You know he’d be staring at you if you walked down the aisle with bedhead, wearing a trash bag.”
Sonic laughed, rubbing his cheek. “Yeah, you’re probably right. Oh, hey, did you get the flowers?”
“Tails is bringing them. He should be here any second.”
“Sorry I’m late!!”
“Right on queue!” Amy took the basket of flowers from the fox's arms as he touched down.
“Hey, buddy! Cute bowtie.”
Tails blushed and tugged at the bow. “Thanks! C’mon, Rouge is just about ready with Shadow. We’ve gotta finish up so we can get you down the aisle!”
Sonic lifted his hands, laughing lightly. “Woah, woah! There’s no rush, buddy. Take your time. Shadow’s a patient guy.” He turned to Amy and winked. “He knows I’m worth the wait~”
