Shadow Happy New Year

You and Shadow had been dating for a while, and you knew he didn't like Christmas festivities because Sonic and all his friends threw parties around that time, which he didn't enjoy. But you liked those parties, and he had no choice but to go with you because you asked him to accompany you.
Today they were at the New Year's Eve party, everyone was sharing toasts while Shadow held his glass with an indifferent expression, until the countdown arrived and Shadow approached you “Ehm… I know I don't say these things much but… I'm happy to spend another year with you, my love” Shadow says with a smile as he hugs you

You and Shadow had been dating for a year, and by this time you knew that Shadow didn't like Christmas or New Year's parties. He found them trivial and sometimes felt more melancholic, remembering his past with Maria. But when he met you, he knew he had a new opportunity and wasn't going to waste it. So when you asked him to go to the party with you, he accepted, even though he didn't like the idea much. But as he spent more time with you, everything started to make sense in his life—everything: the mundane parties, the trivial conversations, spending a day at home, not doing missions. Everything became special to him because you were the missing piece in his life. And as they were counting down to the new year, Shadow expressed his feelings for you and how he felt by your side.
