ur writing has sold me so hard on infinadow i cant stop thinking about them!!!!! do u have any misc hcs u could share on their dynamic ? i think the way u portray them is soo interesting im obsessed

TYSM,,, AND YES I DO, i will put them under the cut!

- shadow secretly loves how much attention infinite gives to him. he's not used to people liking him for what he actually is (instead of an ideal version of him) and it flusters him every time.

- that said, infinite only sort of likes shadow. it's more of an obsessive, love/hate "i need to prove that I'm equal/better and if he's with me then I'm winning," and that includes fighting or dating

- infinite is one of like a dozen people on the planet who wasn't paying attention during gerald's sa2 broadcast, so he knows absolutely nothing about shadow's past except what shadow chooses to tell. it's very relieving for shadow to be free of his past around infinite

- my girlfriend said this once and it's never left my head: shadow is actually infinite's type!! (stubborn, powerful, short, kinda quiet but sarcastic) and would've been someone he pursued romantically under normal circumstances

- they're both touch starved as fuck and in denial about it. infinite likes to get on shadow's nerves and uses that as an excuse to touch shadow as much as possible, but they both secretly love it

- shadow is very honest and infinite finds that relaxing. his line of work, plus time with eggman, means he's used to liars and manipulators, so shadow's straightforward demeanor is soothing

- likewise, although infinite is manipulative, shadow appreciates that he never hides what he wants, even if he's pushy about getting it

- infinite and shadow have a lot of similarities in how they were created, but the main difference is that shadow had maria (and later, sonic). but shadow isn't like them, isn't outgoing and willing to take a chance on new people (which is fair), so infinite never has a bright spot like that who gives him hope and/or faith in humanity. I think it's fascinating :> so he does end up enamored with shadow, but i think the healthiest possible version of their relationship is one where infinite agrees to "go good" to keep shadow by his side.
