Shadow held a small row of roses in his hands. He personally picked them out and made sure to cut off all the thorns that were left on the stem. He had a few cuts from the thorns, but it didn't matter, he was gonna hand deliver them to Koda and then he was finally gonna confess his undying love for him. Shadow felt his face heat up at the thought of confessing to Koda. He's always felt a connection towards him, like a red string of fate. He felt giddy inside as he went up to the Haylel's residence and knocked on the door. Mr.Haylel, A.K.A. Jamey Haylel, answered the door. "Hey Shads" he said and stepped to the side to let Shadow in. "Hello sir" Shadow politely answered and went in. Jamey closed the door and pointed upstairs, "If you're looking for Koda, he's definitely upstairs in his room" if Jamey noticed the roses in Shadow's hands, he didn't comment about em. Shadow nodded happily and went up the stairs as Jamey headed back towards the kitchen.

"Ah wait, I think he invited someone else over" Jamey turned to Shadow, but Shadow was already around the corner. He shrugged and went back to cooking in the kitchen as Shadow grew closer to Koda's door. He felt his heart beat in his chest as he reached for the doorknob, but stopped when he heard a familiar voice. "I-I've never done this before" the voice stuttered. Shadow's eyes went a bit wide, but you couldn't really tell because of the mop he calls, his hair, in front of his eyes. Shadow carefully turned the knob to his door and peeked inside. Allie was sitting on Koda's bed, Koda to the left and Allie to the right and they were both facing each other. "N-neither have I, honestly!" Koda stuttered a bit to Allie and smiled softly. Allie smiles gently back and inched closer to him.

"Ready?" Koda asked and Allie took a deep breathe before nodding. Koda leaned in slowly, Allie doing the same thing before their lips connected, a bit sloppy and a beginner type of kiss. Allie pulled away quickly when they heard a thud behind Koda's door, Koda turned to it and found it slightly ajar. "Mom?" He asked curiously before heading over to it and opening it fully, finding no one there. "Huh... no one here" he looked down to find some scattered roses. "Wonder how these got there" He picked them up and showed them to Allie. "You like Roses?"

Shadow rubbed his face furiously as he ran away from the house, hoping to get further and further away from it. By the time he was as far away as his legs could carry him, he was out of breathe and desperately trying to fill his body with oxygen. He looked around at his surroundings as he tried catching his breathe, 'This looks famil- oh no' he strokes his hair back as he looked beside him. Shadow stopped right in front of the Wilde residence, he sighed and rubbed his face. Why did he always come here? He walked up to the front door before he could even process what he was doing. Mrs.Wilde, A.K.A Jerry Wilde, answered the door with a small smile on his face. "Oh hey Shadow! You want Ami?" Shadow blinked at him and stood still for a bit before nodding tentatively. Jerry hummed in response and stood to the side, "Well he should be in his bedroom doing god knows what, I also made lemonade!"

Shadow nodded politely at him before making his way up the stairs. Max popped his head out from the kitchen looking at Jerry, "Was that Shadow?" Jerry's smile grew as he nodded happily.

Meanwhile, Shadow continued down the hall and noticed music started filling up the hallway. He took smaller and slower steps towards Amelio's room, he could feel tears gathering in his eyes again as he thought back to Koda kissing Allie. He shook his head, no time to be crying in your friend's house, and instead focused on the music, it was coming towards Amelio's room. Shadow knocked on the door softly and the music turned down and the door was immediately swung open. Shadow was then greeted by a panting Amelio. He had the biggest grin on his face, "Hey Shadow!! What a lovely surprise, I was just uh..." Shadow looked in the room and noticed everything pushed towards the walls. "Dancing?" Shadow finished for him.

Amelio coughed lightly and felt his face grow warm. "N-no? M-maybe" Shadow then recognized the music and laughed softly. "You're listening to Safety Dance?" Amelio scowled, "I-it's a great song!! I love that song!" Shadow laughed softly. "Sorry sorry. Can I come in and listen to music with you?" Amelio tilted his head, "Weird Flex, but okay!" He pulled Shadow in and sat him down on his sloppy bed. "I was actually gonna play I will survive next" Shadow sighed softly and wiped at his face, "Can't wait to hear it"
