The gentle humming of many cicadas roaming through the trees was just one of the many sounds that could be heard while soft winds blew through the beautiful and quiet forest. As nocturnal creatures started to dwell throughout the soft yet moist ground, a little house could be seen tucked away behind many large and old oak trees. The sun was just starting to set and inside this quaint rural little home was a relatively disliked and quiet hedgehog named Shadow. No one in the town really knew where he came from or even why he was sent to Jednak in the first place. This being said many Mobians connected him to all different kinds of myths and conspiracies that had been spreading and polluting the town for the past few weeks. Of course, he was just as worried as everyone else. After the death of his little robot child and friend, he assumed everything would return back to the way it was. However, that wasn't the case.
He submerged himself in his large soaker tub until his nose was just above the water. Trying to mask the feeling of insecurity and concern with the help of hot water and salts. Alas, it did not work as well as he intended and he pulled his body out of the water just a tad so he could return back to sitting. He started contemplating everything that had been going on. Mainly bad things. But every once in awhile he would find something to smile about. Usually surrounding his prince Sonic, or at least that's what he liked to call himself. As he continued to think about the past couple months, a rather cold mist emitted from the open window just above his tub. Shadow really hated wasting air conditioning when he could just get the cold air from outside instead, hence why it was wide open to begin with. The ebony assumed it was just the increasing humidity and thought nothing of it. He laid back his head and closed his eyes tightly as he tried to concentrate on relaxing. However, something seemed to disturb him from his meditation. A chill down one's spine, he would call it. But he didn't really understand why he was feeling it while in a warm bathtub. He then decided to get out of the water a bit, assuming he was overheating, but he continued to sense the odd feeling… He quickly put his robe on and slowly walked towards the door to the rest of the house. He looked at it closely, making sure there was no strange draft causing him to feel so uneasy. Strangely though, it was closed and closed relatively tightly. It was then that he shook it off and assumed it was his imagination. Unfortunately, that was when he heard a soft tap behind him. He had good enough hearing to know it was not natural but before he could turn around.
BAM!Two arms gripped around his waist as hard as they could and the ebony thrashed around, trying desperately to free himself. Finally, after a few seconds of struggling, the head of the harasser rested on his soft shoulder.
"Shhhh... Everything'll be alright..." The voice whispered sexily as it gently bit the tip of his ear.
Water dripped from Shadows quills onto the other Mobian, making him seem even more excited. The cold mist surrounded the bathroom, making it hard for the ebony to make out the harassers' face. But he could feel it, the breath on his neck. It was oddly alluring and familiar.
"What the hell do you think your doing?! Get off me this instant!" Shadow exclaimed violently before ripping himself from the other Mobian's grasp.
He quickly looked behind him, getting prepared for a fight by lifting one of his fists in front of him. However the eyes he saw glowed a vibrant emerald green. His familiar charismatic face, bright blue fur, and upbeat-hopeful irises caused his body to instantly relax. It was most certainly his sweetheart. But he wasn't feeling particularly mushy after being scared nearly to death.
"Hay babe, don't you look sexy this evenin." The azure growled impishly while biting his lip slightly.
"Sonic?! How the hell did you get in my house! This is why I DO NOT give you a key." He mumbled through his teeth before curving his mouth to a very disappointed scowl.
"Awwww c'monnnn shadz. I was walking through the forest and I just couldn't stay away. The urge to snuggle you was just too strong to ignore." He sexily slid his thumb across the ebony's soft, feminine lips.
The more Shadow's body was in his sights the more he realized how girly Shadow's features were. His expressive and large crimson eyes, red lips, slightly hourglass-like figure and of course soft silky black fur all looked downright irresistible. He had been holding in most of his urges while on his dates with his love, but sometimes he just couldn't control it. Shadow was his princess after all.
"Damnit… We just saw each other yesterday. I do need my alone time you know…" Shadow tightly gripped the robe loosely wrapped around his body, trying desperately to make sure it didn't come off.
The last thing Shadow wanted was to give the azure fuel. Fuel to make him even more controlling than he already was. Not that the ebony minded it a whole lot. He kind of liked the thought of being dominated. However, the hostility of Shadow's actions only made things worse as the cobalt slowly pushed him against the wall, running his fingers through his soft wet quills.
"But how many times do I get to touch a wet, beautiful, ebony princess. Honestly, this was an amazing opportunity and you're just being a sour puss. I hope I didn't scare you tooooooo bad, though." He cried sarcastically into the charcoal's ears.
Shadow's irises focused on his face as he started to dart his eyes around in a suspicious manner before sliding his index finger down the azure's chest fur. He got a great and mischievous idea. This would surely be enough punishment for scaring him.
"Why in the world would I be scared of my one true love?" He asked slyly before pushing his face close to the cobalt's and giving his nose a gentle kiss.
He fluttered his eyes innocently before grasping the azures tail and sliding his fingertips all around the base. Sonic's body stiffened as he pushed his body against the other's as hard as he could and sweetly wagged his stubby tail.
"Guess I'll just have to try harder next time, hmm?" He replied pervertedly before starting to lap the water off the charcoal hedgehog's neck.
"Oh my... You're turned on already, hmm? Well, I know exaccctlyy how to fix that." Shadow quickly placed his hands on the sapphire hedgehog's chest before giving him a good push.
Sonic's face turned frightened almost instantly as he went flying towards the tub. Before Shadow could even say oops, he splashed into the lukewarm and salty water. Gasping and thrashing sounds polluted the air almost emmediately.
"SHADOW! PLEASE SAVE ME! OH MY CHAOS! IM GONNA DIE!" Scared yelps and cries emanated from the bathtub as he flailed all over like a scared little cat.
"Serves you right for scaring me, you little shit... Come on. It's barely a foot deep. All you need to do is step out of the water..." Shadow placed his hand out, pointing at the obvious ledge he could use to step out of the water.
"Shadow, please! I'm so scared!" Sonic continued to cry as the yelps became more and more desperate.
"Quit panicking and use your brain, dumby!"
Sonic was wrapped tightly in a soft towel as the ebony tried to steer him towards the couch. His eyes remained dilated as he continuingly bumped into things including the walls. He was shaking violently and seemed to be completely separated from reality. Shadow finally placed him down on the couch before sighing in frustration.
"I think you're overreacting, I get you almost died last time but can you please have a tiny sense of humor." He gently patted the azures head before releasing one half-serious chuckle.
Sadly enough, he did find it kind of funny. Someone so strong and powerful scared by merely being put in the same area as water.
"That wasn't funny." He replied plainly as he wrapped the towel around himself tighter, making sure to hide his shame.
"You're the one who sneaked into my BATHROOM. I think Mr. Prince would connect the dots. Bathroom means water and you know for a fact that you saw me in the bathtub." The ebony sighed annoyedly as he tried to defend himself, but the azure was not in the mood.
"I hate you." He wrapped himself into a little ball while trying to recover from the rather horrifying event.
"We both know that's a lie..." Shadow sneakily slipped himself next to the azure who was completely avoiding eye contact with him.
He slid his hand on top of the others' and grabbed the remote with his other hand before turning to the nearest news station.
"Come on now. Don't be a grump the rest of the night. You know how much you mean to me and I hate to see you so upset." He admitted honestly before coiling his mouth to a smile and squeezing the others' hand tightly.
The news immediately flipped to an emergency report of the north side of Jednak. It showed trees being toppled over and whole acres of land being obliterated by hail, landslides, tornados and much more.
"...Our emergency news stations are on the scene where sixteen acres of land and twelve homes have been destroyed by two huge tornados. Eight people have been found deceased and many more are still missing... This is the sixth natural disaster in Jednak out of the seemingly hundreds elsewhere. The horrible events started about a month ago and do not seem to be stopping anytime soon. This is Nada Bijela, reporting live from Besplanto, Jednak. The next broadcast begins in a half an hour, have a good evening. "
"Another natural disaster?" Sonic ears perked up as he heard the report, quickly snapping him out of his panic induced coma.
"Looks like it... Those poor people. Do you think it has something to do with us?" The ebony placed his ungloved hand over his muzzle, blinking rapidly as he tried to understand what was going on.
"I don't think so... I mean we are pretty sure that the kid is dead. But we won't know until we get further information. It's slowly coming towards Slaboda so we should be careful. Don't worry though, hon. I'm sure everything will work itself out." Emerald eyes met rubies as he gently grabbed his towel and starting to wrap it around the both of them.
It was odd how powerful the connection was. It was as if it was actually magnetic and the two fell for its pull. Before they knew it they were huddled together as tightly as they could, occasionally lapping the water off of the others body.
"You really think so, huh? You really do amaze me. You always seem to know all the right answers even if their blatant lies. I'm not really sure what I would do if I didn't have your stupid charismatic ass around me all the time." The energy transferring into Shadow's body warmed and relaxed his muscles and he knew this was probably leading somewhere he wasn't ready for.
"Heh... Right back atcha, beautiful." Sonic growled slightly before gently sliding his peach colored lips all the way down Shadow's neck, causing the ebony to arch his back and groan in response.
It was too good of a feeling to ignore. Shadow knew that, of course. But he kept trying to put it off for that special, wonderful moment when it would be perfect. He kind of hoped that something would stop them from continuing but what would at this time of the evening? Thankfully, he got his wish as a knock interrupted their panting euphoric passion and it was certainly something they could not ignore.
"Please, open the door. This is the International Police Department and we don't want any trouble."
