The Gang's All Here

21: Oh... My...

Now that the text was sent, everyone was curious to see who got it.

"Well, my guess is the same." Rouge said.

Confused about Rouge's comment, Mephiles asked, "Pardon?"

"Sonic thought it would be a good idea to guess who would be getting Shadow's text." Espio explained.

Sonia added, "And we're saying it's gonna be Silver."

Knuckles spoke up, "I actually think it'll be Rouge."

"Knuckles, Shadow's never responded to Rouge's flirting. What makes you think that?" Sonic asked.

"I get that he doesn't respond to that stuff, but I can't imagine Shadow liking a guy."

Shadow's muzzle was turning redder and redder.

"Hey, Silver, what about you?" Fleetway asked. "You haven't given a guess yet."

Silver thought for a moment. "Probably Manic."

Manic was surprised. "Uh... Why?"

"Because you're hot."

Manic was now pleasantly surprised. "Sir..."

"He's right Manic." Mephiles said. "There's at least five people in this room that find you attractive. Myself and Fleetway included."

Manic looked at Fleetway. "Seriously?"

Fleetway then said loudly, "All that find Manic attractive-"

Fleetway, Mephiles, Scourge, Silver, Shadow, Rouge, Wave, and even Jet raised their hands.

Wave looked at Jet, surprised. "You too?"

"Yeah. I'm straight, so I wouldn't date him, but I still have working eyes."

Now, Manic's face was red. "Well. That boosted my self esteem. Ahem. So after everyone guesses, then what?"

Sonic, extremely jealous that Scourge found Manic attractive, answered, "We just turn on our phones and take a look. I've still got no clue who's getting the text, though." Sonic grabbed his phone. "Alright everyone, let's see who it was."

Everyone looked at their phones.

Silver's phone had a new message.

When everyone saw Silver unlocking his phone, they watched closely for his reaction.

All except for Shadow, who couldn't bring himself to even glance at Silver's reaction to the shameful picture he sent.

Silver's eyes, now reading the text and looking at the picture, widend as he blushed. "Oh... my..."

The picture was a close-up of Shadow grabbing his own (bare) rear end, and the text under it read, "Take it, Daddy?"

Manic and Mephiles couldn't stop laughing. "Well, what's it say?" Manic asked, already knowing what it said.

Shadow immediately turned to Silver, "Don't you f**king dare answer that question!"

"I wasn't going to, calm down."

Shadow looked away, even more embarrassed.

"Well, I've gotta say: this is uh, unexpected." Silver said.

"If you don't like what I sent, just delete it." Shadow blurted.

Silver thought for a moment. Then, he began typing.

Everyone waited until Silver hit the 'Send' button.

Shadow's phone buzzed with a new message.

With widening eyes, Shadow read the new text, calmly put down his phone, covered his face, and screamed.

"Geez, what did he say?" Manic asked.

Shadow motioned for Manic to come over. He looked at Mephiles, "You come take a look, too. You need to see this."

Once Manic and Mephiles were beside him, Shadow showed them the phone. "Look at his f**king response."

Silver's text was a single sentence reading, "Consider it mine, Baby."

Mephiles squealed, grinning, "My ship has sailed. Everyone, my ship has SAILED!"

Manic, genuinely shocked at Silver (though happy for he and Shadow), said to Silver, "Bro... Chill... I wasn't expecting you to respond with that much energy."

"Well I figured it was pretty tame in comparison to that picture." Silver said, looking directly at Shadow.

Shadow blushed. "Shut up, Silver."

Silver looked at the picture again. "This is gonna make some pretty good inspiration for later. So, Shadow, it's your turn."

Shadow was about to choose someone until he thought for a moment. "Wait... inspiration for what?"

"Masterbating."

Shadow facepalmed. "Alright, next person."
