The Blue Blur wasn't afraid to admit he was terrified.
"Y-you!"
"Yes, me." The bastard had the gall to say, smirking like the arrogant creature he was. "I'm glad you haven't forgotten my name after such a long time, Sonic."
Okay, he might be panicking.
Just a bit.
(Maybe a lot.)
Still, this was someone who, in a alternative time, had killed him! This wasn't the usual run of the mill villain, this was Mephiles. As in all powerful, manipulative, shadow-stealing little shit of a opponent Mephiles.
He was fucked. Oh so fucked.
"B-but-!"
Like, paralyzed in the middle of a sea of hungry Black Arm worms levels of fucked. In such close quarters, in the middle of nowhere, with no Chaos Emerald and no support from his allies, Sonic knew it would only be a matter of time before he was cut down.
Still, why the birdcage? Was it a over glorified way of killing him? Because if it was, it was rather confusing.
(Unless the other didn't want to kill him.)
At that moment, Sonic felt like it would be better if he didn't know.
Oblivious -or maybe amused by it- of his scattered, panicking mind, Mephiles chuckled, low and ominous. "...you really thought I was dead?" The time god shook his head as he waved one of his arms. Sonic stiffened as many of the pillows covering the floor rose and formed a makeshift seat behind their creator. That wasn't a power he'd been aware of. Great. He's stronger too. I'm so, so very much dead. "My, you are as easy to fool as those old humans."
Green eyes widened.
"Wait, you let Eggman control you?" Sonic pressed in disbelief, ignoring the strange warmth in the toxic jade eyes as he continued. "Why?!"
"Ha!" Mephiles had the gall to throw his head back and laugh lightly at his astonished expression. "If I didn't resist, it wouldn't be my fault, would it? You all thought I was a mere beast. I get to destroy a bit of landscape, to test out my powers, and I don't even get blamed for it." The teal striped hedgehog stretched out and leaned back on the mountain of pillows, smirking at the fuming hero. "Perfect, isn't it?"
"So fracturing time and space was all just a game?!" Sonic snarled with barely suppressed fury, completely ignoring the strange look the other made as the creature's glowing orbs trailed up and down his body, thoughtful.
"Yes. Didn't you get it the first time?" The former time god's smirk widened, turning predatory. "Or do you need to sit down and explain it to you in more detail. If so..." His captor stretched comfortably on the pile of pillows, spreading his legs slightly and narrowing his eyes, the seductive gleam in the pale green orbs making Sonic falter. "...I'm afraid we'll have to get comfortable, since it will take some time, little bird." He gently patted his lap, the grin growing as his captive became redder than a tomato.
"There's no need for...that." Sonic shuttered out, biting his lower lip as he felt his cheeks heat up at the innuendo. Mephiles' sly, amused expression wasn't helping.
Is he hitting on me? Why is he hitting on me?!
He unconsciously squirmed under the elder's intense stare, not liking how the toxic eyes of the creature trailed up and down his svelte form. Sonic wasn't stupid or oblivious of his looks; he'd often been hit on by females and males alike for his heroic adventures. Chaos, he remembered one raccoon who kindly described him in the most elegant and resonating words he'd ever gotten from a drunk mobian, 'cute and smashable', and while the experience had left him mortified of ever going near a bar ever again, it had also made him quite skilled when it came to detecting advances from those around him.
..and Mephiles' actions certainly fit the bill.
Not that nearly crushing him into a hog pudding, kidnapping him in front of his friends and now seemingly trying to seduce him with his eyes was normal, but Sonic could see a few similarities. At least for the last part.
(Though usually he'd feel disappointed and embarrassed when someone tried to hint on him. Feeling like his face was going to melt was entirely new to the young hero.)
The problem was, he didn't know if he should be flattered or terrified by this. While Mephiles was handsome -having based his form on the Ultimate Lifeform helped- the creature was more hostile than Shadow, and trapped in such close quarters as he was, Sonic knew he wouldn't be able to fight off the immortal's demands even if he tried.
He was starting to understand why Mephiles had covered the floor of the cage in pillows...
Chaos, how was he going to get out of this?
"Why am I here anyways?"
He didn't like the shark-toothed grin on the immortal's face.
Mephiles suddenly stood up and walked over to him, startling the cobalt hedgehog, who shuffled back, a hint of panic in his eyes as his back hit the intricate crystal wall of the birdcage. Sonic could only glare feebly as the taller male leaned over him, the glowing eyes meeting his own vibrant ones. The darker of the two smiled, a soft grin of innocent satisfaction as he took in the sight of the young hedgehog trapped beneath him.
"Life is lonely here, in vast emptiness between worlds." The fearsome creature muttered, a clawed hand tracing lightly the curve of a blue hip.
Sonic unwillingly shivered, trying to arch away from his captor, pressing himself against the cerulean crystals that made up the walls of the birdcage but only managing to further trap himself as Mephiles reached down and pressed a pair of lips against a delicate neck. The cerulean male twitched at the contact, blood pooling in his cheeks as he realized yes, Mephiles the Dark was coming on to him, and no, he didn't know what to do next and even how to respond.
..but the way the other did it, it was so relaxing and pleasurable the young speedster nearly became pudding right there and then despite his fears. Sonic knew he only felt the most alive when he was in danger, but having one of his most powerful opponent sucking on his neck was something else entirely.
"...while I don't want to rule your pitiful reality anymore, I do require a purpose." The immortal whispered against blue fur, tickling the sensitive skin beneath with his hot breath, the fanged grin widening as he felt another quiver travel the small mortal. "Living is not enough, not for a being like me." The hand playing with the young hedgehog's left hip suddenly grabbed it tightly, making Sonic gasp and arch against the muscular body over him, a hand shooting out to grab the black wrist of the time god as he gave the elder a flustered expression of utter confusion and surprise.
"...that is why I gifted myself a pet."
That was enough for the Blue Blur.
His free hand shot up, balling into a fist just before it collided with the darker male's chin. Mephiles, taken by surprise, stumbled back with a muffled curse as he held his throbbing, bruised snout -only for a long blue leg to slab into his nose, sending him sprawling to the floor. While the mountain of pillows alleviated his pain, it did nothing against the burning agony on his face.
Sonic planted his feet firmly on the soft ground and stared down at the fallen immortal with fierce green eyes, unrelenting and unwavering as Mephiles slowly crawled to his knees. The creature regarded him cautiously, amusement still in his face despite the bruises slowly appearing on his pale skin as a result of the younger's assault.
"Interesting." The time god muttered, rubbing his sore chin softly. Sonic remained silent as he watched the other like a hawk, lowering his ears and taking a more aggressive stance as he saw the dark purple bruises slowly disappear as if nothing happened, returning the skin beneath the tan fur of the muzzle to it's original state. "It seems as if I've made the right choice. So fiery, little bird. You are most definitively what I need."
"What you need-" Sonic began darkly, eyes almost glowing as he stared down at the entity with anger. "-is a punch in the face. Again. Because I don't know about you, but slavery has been deemed illegal a long time ago, pal!" That last word was bit out mockingly in a attempt to coax the elder into making a clumsy move in anger. The god however was better trained in the arts of manipulation to fall for the taunt.
"Really?" Mephiles smiled, a cruel grin of satisfaction, not unlike a cat that had finally caught a delicious bird. "But would that apply to a god?"
The immortal's face was suddenly a inch away from his own.
Sonic backtracked, trying to escape, but a hand grabbed his wrists with one smooth, elegant movement before pinning them to the wall of the birdcage. The blue hedgehog cursed and flailed as he felt the beautiful crystal of the bars spread on his arms, pinning him in place.
Helpless.
This is the worst birthday ever. Next time, Tails, we are so getting takeout.
"In this...White Space, as you call it, I am a god. This is my realm, my creation, my laws. There is no place you can hide here, hedgehog, there is no escape." Mephiles pressed close, forcing his body against the lithe blue one of his captive. "I thought about taking someone else, you know. The white hedgehog...or that pathetic copy...or even that cat...but you, you changed everything. I was waiting for your troop of happy little heroes to leave the clearing, bidding my time..."
Sonic couldn't bite back a small moan as he felt Mephiles' skillful hands fondled his body, slowly turning him into mush in the creature's arms. Despite being a young adult, he had never been touched before; a relationship, even a physical one, was something he had never had the time to pursue while constantly fighting Eggman. Even Amy's occasional offers, which he denied the moment the girl gave him that strange lustful glance, had only left him feeling as if someone had dropped a bucket of ice over his head. He'd never been with anyone, nor had he ever done something to himself. This was proving to be utterly destabilizing, as now the simplest of touches from his hated enemy was turning him into a willing puddle of desires.
"...and then I felt your hands on me, slowly stripping away the metal collars those pathetic wretches put on my beast form. You..." He leaned in, nuzzling a blue neck. Sonic could only fidget and whimper as he felt hands run through the fur on his side and back, petting him softly, slowly trapping him in the creature's web. "...so beautiful and pure, easing me even when you thought I was dead. My mind was made up there and then. I had found my pet." The cobalt hedgehog bit his lip and closed his eyes, shivering as the elder traced the back of one of his thighs.
The immortal was too good at this for it to be normal. He was helpless and compliant, entrapped in the other's gentle movements, so much so that he didn't offer any resistance as Mephiles grasped both of the thin blue legs and forced them around a coal waist, allowing Sonic to feel a growing heat in the other's pelvis just as the teal creature nibbled on his neck, making him writhe and moan with want. By now the time god had him pinned agains the wall, fully bearing his small weight as they trembled and moaned together, one enjoying the closeness of the soft, svelte blue form while the other struggled to remain cohesive as pleasure flooded his inexperienced body.
Deciding to push the boundaries of the act, Mephiles rutted softly against the dazed hedgehog, smirking into his prey's neck as the young hero twitched and whimpered in his arms, but didn't try to escape. He could feel the sapphire male's rising heat with each light thrust, so enticing, and it took a good chunk of his willpower to stop himself from sinking into the tight depths. The last thing the god wanted was to force his companion to submit; no, he would make Sonic submit, make him beg and moan and writhe for him to take the insolent fool.
He would take the heavenly creature only when Sonic willingly laid himself down in the sea of colourful pillows, offering his body, soul and heart to the hungry creature with a glance of those beautiful emerald eyes. Only then would Mephiles be satisfied enough to grab those delectable hips and finally mount the little mortal, claiming him as his.
The deity grinned at the thought, a flash of arousal going through him as he imagined the scene.
"...now in this world, you are my prize, my toy, mine."
Hazy jade eyes snapped open, realizing what the other was trying to do.
"You're sick!" Sonic roared in righteous fury, kicking the other away with all of his might.
Mephiles easily avoided the blows and stood back, smirking at the flustered hedgehog. He snapped his talons together and the crystal binds melted, making the young male collapse on his knees, shivering violently as he tried to reign in his tumbling emotions. The Blue Blur tried to stand, but his legs failed him and he simply lay there, trembling in the aftermath, a part of him silently asking for the immortal's touch while the larger half of his mind was horrified of what just transpired.
"You will learn to enjoy my touch, little bird. You're already starting to."
Sonic looked up and met the other's gaze with his own venomous glare. His quills bristled against his head, the sharp spines no match for the immortal's crystalline body, but more than sharp enough to seriously injure the being while he stayed in his Shadow-esque form. "Like hell I will, asshole."
Mephiles' eyes widened for a moment, taken aback by the hatred in the younger's voice, before they narrowed into thin sheets of ice.
"You better get used to living here, hedgehog. You're mine now."
Don't forget this is M-Rated. And a practice story for lemons and whatnot, like my Bitter Cold. Only this one is less of a plot against Mobius and more focused on the fluff...and smut.
I'm shameless.
(Not really. I need the practice. Something about a flowing language and stuff...)
