After a long mission, some of their companions offered to go to a little-known café. Shadow was going to refuse, but Rouge forced him to go, as usual... But the café was actually very warm and had that homey feel; it wasn't overcrowded like other popular cafes. Coffee filled every corner, and all the baristas seemed friendly, but one stood out. He seemed new, a little shy and awkward, but since he was at the register, Shadow spoke to him.

Shadow's point of view: He'd ordered his favorite coffee and had to tell her his name twice; she had a sour face. But when he received his coffee, it was all smeared with pee and had a weird drawing on it, but he figured the barista was just trying to cheer him up... in the end, he thought it was cute and from then on, he went to the coffee shop more often.

Sonic's point of view: He was still new to the job as a barista and seeing such a serious customer made him feel a chill run down his spine, but he tried to continue with his work. Shadow had said his name but lowered it, and that caused the barista to ask his name again, to hear him lower it again. Sonic simply felt embarrassed to ask again, then tried to write down what he understood or something similar, finally drawing Shadow to cover up his messy writing of his name.

Shadow is a black, anthropomorphic hedgehog with red stripes on his quills, arms, and legs, and crimson eyes. He is characterized by a white patch of fur on his chest, white gloves with black and red cuffs, and his signature white, red, and gold Air Shoes that allow him to glide. He also wears disabling rings on his wrists and arms, which he wears at all times to keep his powers under control. He always wears comfortable and easy-to-move clothing, usually preferring black, as it is his favorite color, along with lavender. For work, always wear a white shirt and a plain tie, usually in dark colors.

Shadow likes bitter coffee, but preferably Americano without sugar and with just one drop of lavender syrup. Her favorite flowers are lavender and sunflowers (she loves sunflowers because they are Sonic's favorite flowers). She loves bitter things, but her favorite dessert is tiramisu and vanilla ice cream. Shadow's favorite colors are black and green, yes, because of Sonic's eyes. He likes things to be tidy and in their place. Shadow likes quiet places without many people, that's why he loves the cafe he goes to, that and that barista with blue quills and green eyes. He likes to spend some quiet time with Sonic. He likes the sound of rain and waves. HE LOVES SONIC'S SMILE ˃͈◡˂͈

Shadow is a serious guy who doesn't usually like being around a lot of people, but unfortunately, Rouge forces him to socialize. He gets angry very easily and has very little patience. But despite that, he would never hesitate to help someone. He's not selfish, even though he might seem that way; he's just serious and introverted. He's usually distrustful because he's been hurt and betrayed many times before, but he still tries to trust people. He speaks in a serious and curt manner.

But with that barista who stole his heart, he doesn't know what to do. He gets nervous but serious all the time, not thinking too much about what he's going to do. But he'll take any opportunity he has to spend time with Sonic, even though sometimes his mistrust will get the better of him, pushing Sonic away a little. But later, he'll regret it with all his heart for not having agreed to spend that time with him. When he talks to Sonic, he's quieter but playful. Although he's still a little afraid of trusting him too much. Shadow tries to appear confident and self-assured, even though he doesn't like jokes.

Shadow is a businessman at the offices of GUN, a government organization, where Shadow usually creates documents and files, but he is also an agent, and he always has to make a report of the missions he does, whether good or bad... Usually the missions decrease and that's why he tends to spend more time at the Office.

He has a companion named Rouge, who proclaims herself Shadow's best friend. She is also the only one he talks to and feels safest with, even though she sometimes bothers her too much. He still tells her about his strange liking for that coffee shop and that barista.

Shadow doesn't like places where there are a lot of people. He doesn't like it when someone is excessively selfish. He doesn't like other cafes because they are usually crowded. He doesn't like excessively sweet things (although Sonic loves extremely sweet things). He doesn't like criminal people, even though he once almost destroyed the planet. He doesn't want anyone other than Sonic to make his coffee. She hates things full of bright colors. He hates himself when he rejects Sonic, that's why he hates his distrust. HATES WHEN ANOTHER CUSTOMER GETS TOO CLOSE TO SONIC ᓀ‸ᓂ

He tends to be serious and reserved when he doesn't feel comfortable with the person, but when he does feel comfortable he usually makes jokes, but his serious tone almost never disappears. Usually when he feels oppressed, anxious, or afraid, he tends to respond very curtly and tensely. But when he feels confident, his tone is calmer and more relaxed; he lowers those walls little by little as he becomes more comfortable during the conversation.
