Later that evening, after another delicious full course meal, Sonic joins his fellow companions in the lounge area. He takes a seat besides his best friend Tails, who is sat legs crossed, swishing his two feathery tails in the air, grinning at Sonic.
The fire roars as Knuckles chucks another log on it to keep the warmth equal in the small room.
Sonic turns his head away from the conversation being held and peers out the vast, frost glistening windows. The moon glows, luminous and monumentally over the hills with their blanket of snow, ready for the night slumber. The stars appear to be individual candles, dotted in a black canvass.
Sonic smiles feeling warmed by their radiant heat, his head tilts back down to re-join in the friendly banter, but his thoughts are shuddered and disturbed by a mysterious character, staring directly at him.
Shadow keeps his gaze fixed upon Sonic, while the blue hero looks away to listen to Tails, his lips perking up into a smile as he feels himself being viewed.
Shadow himself grins as he mimics Sonic; he stands up and heads for the doorway.
"Hey Shads, where are you off to?" Asks Vector, plucking the meat from his teeth with a wooden toothpick.
Shadow stretches: his stomach tightens and his chest expands, making Sonic's eyes fall helplessly on him.
"I was thinking of taking a midnight dip in the Jacuzzi outside," his voice deep and husky, sending a shiver down Sonic's spine.
"Hey, that sounds like fun! We'll join you!" Adds the lime green croc, flicking the toothpick in the air, landing on Rouge's head. Consequently, she soon erupts and struts off, while the rest venture upstairs to get their swimwear on.
--
The bubbles pop up and tickle Sonic's feet as he steps into the Jacuzzi in his dark blue swim shorts. Amy, in her little pink swimming costume, leans on his shoulder smiling and batting her eyelashes at him.
He pats her on the shoulder in a friendly manor and makes himself comfortable in between Knuckles and Amy. Opposite him, Shadow rests with a bottle of beer in one hand and the other relaxing on the side of the bubble pool.
The green eyes of the blue hedgehog stare at his opposition. His manly facial features, his tufts of platinum hair, his six pack…he's soon interrupted by Knuckles diving into conversation once more.
They chat for a while, snow dancing on the breeze, cascading from the clouds above. Soon enough they are silenced by the peace of the night, the only sounds being made by the wind, whipping through the trees and conjuring up snow.
But the silence doesn't last long as Vector rudely breaks the quiet with a loud interruption from his back end; extra bubbles float up besides him and unleash a mighty stink.
Noses ruffle and all eyes direct themselves to the source of the smell. A cheesy smile from Vector greets them.
"Oh Jeeze!" Yells Knuckles, as he leaps out of the Jacuzzi and falls to his knees coughing with a mixture of laughter and desperation for clean air. Shadow in turn steps out holding his nose, but surprisingly laughing aswell.
Espio turns his head away from Vector.
"Sometimes I fear for your health…"
Sonic laughs at his comment and slaps Vector on the back, congratulating him on his triumphant disaster.
Charmy zips up into the air chuckling to himself, he dives down to retrieve a ball of snow and throws it at Vector, who himself is sat proudly as if he has achieved a medal for his gut-wrenching talents.
But, the poor little pink hedgehog was sat right beside the disgusting croc. Amy grabs her nose and splashes her way out, escaping from the horrific odour.
"Vector! That's disgusting! God, you are so sick sometimes, I've told you again and again you should see someone about your little 'problem'!" She rants, before snatching up her towel and storming off to her room.
Knuckles pulls himself up, wiping the tears from his muzzle.
"I gotta agree with her, dude that's just…wrong!" Him, Sonic and Vector have another joke about it, before Knuckles high-fives the smelly croc and exits.
"Me too, see you guys in the morning!" Charmy puts his thumbs up at the group and zooms off to his bedroom, soon joined by Espio.
Vector lets out a long sigh and smiles at Sonic; he pats his shoulder and winks.
"I'll see you later," He grins and gets out getting his towel and rubbing his face with it, clumsily walking into the door not realising you have to 'pull'.
Sonic realises, as soon as Vector left, the amount of bubbles decreased by half. He quickly jumps out, amused and slightly scared.
He scans round his surroundings, searching for Shadow. Unfortunately to no success. He picks up his towel and slowly walks back to his room, and sure enough, he meets Shadow in the room.
He's not surprised in the slightest bit, with that mysteriously dark body of his, and cunning moves, Shadow can move anywhere without being seen.
Sonic kicks off his things and sits down on the bed, exhausted from all his previous activities that day.
"Have fun today Shads?" Sonic asks flicking some snow off his shoulder.
Shadow appears from the bathroom door, toothbrush in his mouth. He shrugs and removes the toothbrush.
"Wasn't…too bad I guess," he spits in the sink, "and will you guys please stop calling me 'Shads', it's 'Shadow'."
"Alright, sorry Shads," Sonic mumbles cheekily leaning back on his pillow, closing his eyes and remembering the laughter throughout the day.
"What was that!?" Shouts Shadow, before being interrupted by Amy's intrusion.
"Hello Sonic! Can I borrow some toothpaste please; some one's stolen mine…" She looks round the room, while Knuckles skips past in the corridor behind her holding up a tube of something and mimes laughing, darting away before Amy swirls round and spots him.
"Sure thing, Shadow should have some," smiles Sonic, holding in his laughter from Knuckles's capers.
Amy looks hopefully at Shadow, hands behind her back, in her little pink nighty and matching fluffy slippers. He grunts and hands her Sonic's toothpaste in revenge for the 'Shads' incident.
"Thank you guys! Sleep well, night my Sonic!" She exits smiling at him.
"Night Amy…" Sonic replies without effort, scratching his chin and closing his eyes.
He lifts up one eyelid to curiously watch Shadow exit the bathroom and walk to the opposite end of the bed, with a tube of toothpaste, and then round to sit down on his side.
Sonic's ears pick up slight sounds as he turns onto his side, away from Shadow. The sound of something squishy drifts to his ears; he turns his back to try to view Shadow.
"What are ya doin'?" He mumbles, yawning.
"Never you mind," Answers Shadow with a little laugh, as he turns off the lamp and lies down in the lingering darkness.
Sonic soon feels a hand on his hip, and slide slowly towards his groin. He makes no objection but turns his head to see Shadow's hand sliding slowly up and down his own shaft.
"Huh?"
"Shh…," Shadow covers Sonic's mouth as he edges closer towards him.
"Mmmf, whawt aar oo duin?" Mumbles Sonic, his words muffled but Shadow works it out as, 'What are you doing?'
Sonic's eyes spot a small tube of something on his bedside cabinet. It soon becomes clear to him that it isn't toothpaste.
"Sha-oo!" He cries, looking at Shadow's hands rub lubricant into his own growing erection.
That small pink tongue of his drifts over Sonic's cheek and nibble his ear teasingly rubbing a finger over the small hole below his tail. Shadow growls sexily in the blue hero's ear sending him groaning, and his cock growing harder.
Sonic breaks free from the hand keeping him silent.
"Oh just do me right now Shadow!"
The dark hedgehog grunts happily, and with that Shadow's cock is roughly thrusted into Sonic's tight hole.
Shadow shoves his little hedgehog slave onto his belly, and mounts him from behind. The penetration slowly at first, but as he gets his rhythm, Shadow speeds up, his hips driving powerfully into Sonic, his hands pinning Sonic's arms above his own head.
The helpless hedgehog lies there, with a small puddle of drool seeping out of his mouth, groaning, and shouting his partners name lustfully.
Shadow leans forward and roughly bites the back of Sonic's neck, licking and nibbling on his blue fur, causing Sonic to bite his lip and groan into his pillow.
Their bodies sweat together as Shadow grinds his hips into Sonic's defenceless body; their panting grows slowly louder as the pleasure builds between them. The air around them soon becomes heated and the bed sheets start to soak up Sonic's sweat.
Shadow's thighs tense as his climax draws near, Sonic pushes his hips upwards to force more pressure inside of him; causing his penis to stiffen more and a loud cry escape his lips as he splashes sticky liquid onto the already stained sheets.
The dark hedgehog speeds up to also unload into Sonic's behind, holding his stance, head flopped back and mouth wide open, gasping fresh air.
As he withdraws from Sonic and sinks into the mattress, panting from releasing all his energy into his lustful actions, his blue friend flips over onto his back, hands on chest as if helping him to regain his breath.
After their breathing has slowed and the atmosphere cools, Sonic slides his head to the side so his gaze falls onto the Ultimate Life form, lying with him. Shadow grins crookedly, his deep, crimson eyes resting on the ceiling.
"Goodnight Sonic," He effortlessly rolls onto his side and lets his eyelids droop down, drifting off to a dreamless sleep.
Sonic smiles to himself watching his black and red spiked lover and tugs on the duvet to wrap it around himself and join his friend in a deep sleep.
