i know youve got scars

“I could ask you the same question, you know.” Sonic leaned forward, a mischievous grin on his face. “Mrs. Ultimate Lifeform.” A jolt, screeching painfully up his spine. “Mr. Ultimate Lifeform,” he snarled before he could stop himself, eyes flashing. Sonic started, tilted his head, and his grin widened. “Oh, nice. Good for you, dude.” He pushed away the warmth that swelled in his chest, the small smile that threatened to sneak onto his muzzle. For a moment, he just let himself savor this moment, the way Sonic looked almost... apologetic, as if he knew what it was like to be stuck in a body that wasn't yours. And he did. The scars on his chest were living proof of that.“...You know, I can’t let you live,” Shadow snapped. “Your adventuring days are coming to an end, Sonic the Hedgehog.”His opponent just laughed, quills moving freely in the wind, and his fist connected with Shadow’s chest.
