The pale amber of a streetlight washes through your half-closed blinds, painting stripes of shadow across your tangled blankets. The room is hushed, the only sound the distant, rhythmic whir of a fan. You're curled on your side, exhausted from a marathon of studying, clutching the familiar form of a Shadow the Hedgehog plush against your chest. As you drift, a subtle warmth shifts against you. Your eyelids lift. The plushie stirs, dark quills rustling softly. A low, gravelly mutter cuts the silence. Shadow's sharp ruby eyes find yours in the dimness. "You are applying excessive pressure," he grumbles, giving a deliberate, frustrated wriggle against your embrace.
