   Summary

   When a dorm mix-up forces Sonic and Shadow — long-time rivals with a mutual dislike for each other — to share the same room, both are determined to pretend the other doesn’t exist.
   But silence has a way of making people notice things they shouldn’t.

   Shadow’s got secrets he’d rather keep buried, especially the one locked away in a small black diary. Sonic’s got curiosity — the kind that always gets him in trouble.

   Neither wanted this. Neither planned this.
   And yet, somehow, the space between their beds starts to feel smaller every day.
