Okay...before anyone tells me to burn in hell and/or die in a hole - just let me explain, 'kay?

i am in one of the WORST possible moods of all bad moods, so any stupid, pointless, flaming comments left on this picture will be hidden, because i'm not going to bother answering to them because there's really no point

I also want to make this very clear: I SUPPORT ALL SONIC PAIRINGS - even the ones that haven't even been made up yet, and if any new ones come into being, i will support them too. Why? Because im not a favoritist - and i pair people up for FUN. They're fictional characters, so anyone can do whatever they want with them.

Besides, if Silver had been in Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games, that would be Silver standing there instead of Shadow - but he wasn't...so there.

As most people will know - i am quite a strong SilVaze supporter, but that doesn't mean i can't pair each of them with other people too - like i said, they're FICTIONAL.

So to anyone who dislikes this couple, please bear all my points in mind and kindly do not leave any offencive comments - i worked very hard on this.

About the picture:
Blaze returned to the stadium one night, realising that she had foolishly left her sports bag behind. Made to believe that she was alone in the vast empty stadium, she was startled to see the figure of Shadow standing
motionless on the platforms on the far side of the green. Concerned, Blaze approched him and stopped by his side. He hadn't moved at her advance, and stared down, a heavy frown weighing down his brow.
"What's the matter?" Blaze asked politely.
Recieving no answer, Blaze raised an eyebrow and spoke again. "You should rest for tomorrow. We have the relay."
Shadow did not answer, nor did he stir. Blaze went pink in the cheeks and became irritated. In her irritation, her voice became a little louder.
"If you're going to be rude, then I'll leave." She slung her bag over her shoulder and made to turn away, before she noticed the bronze medal Shadow clutched in his right hand. Becoming curious, Blaze turned again.
"What did you come third in?" No answer. "I said: what did you come third in?"
"Hurdles" Shadow replied flatly.
Blaze nodded. "Well done. At least you got placed."
Shadow said nothing. Blaze's irritation flared again and she gripped her bag, her annoyance seething through her words.
"I was only offering a compliment" she spat. "If you fall behind in the relay tomorrow because you didn't get enough rest, don't look for any sympathy from me."
"I came third" Shadow growled.
"So?" Blaze's face turned pinker with anger and her bag slipped from her shoulder and onto the grass. "You got placed, didn't you? I came fourth in the high jump. I didn't get placed - but you don't hear me complaining, do you?"
Shadow's hands were begining to quiver. He swung his head around and glared at Blaze.
"I shouldn't come third" he snarled monosyllabically.
"Is that was you're griping about?" Blaze almost shouted, furious with Shadow's answer. "That's a pathetic reason to be upest!"
Shadow turned his head again and glared towards the grass. Blaze fumed by his side.
"Nobody's perfect, Shadow" she informed him. "Not even you. Just because you've been named the "Ultimate Lifeform" you believe that you can do everything. You think it's unfair that you lost. Well, it might interest you to know that life isn't fair."
Blaze spun hastily on her heel to leave. She had walked six paces before she returned, flustered, to retrieve her bag.
She bent down to pick it up and casted one last scolding look to the back of Shadow's head. It had lowered, as if in an act of shame. Blaze's tense shoulders relaxed, and her anger melted away into guilt. She stood, and walked slowly over to Shadow again. Taking a deep breath, she folded her arms across his chest and stomach.
"I'm sorry I shouted" she apologised. "You'll do better next time."
Before she could pull away, she felt Shadow's hand close around hers and hold it there.
Looking away uncertainly, Blaze's cheeks glowed a deep pink, and she took courage at the fact that no one else was around to see this.
