Sonadow Week Of Fun Chapter 4: A Sweet Treat, a sonic the hedgehog fanfic

This is the Thursday challenge: Sweet day or Work out day: Draw them eating some sweets on a date or at home or working up a sweat. I decided to use the upcoming Halloween as a theme for this challenge.

-A Sweet Treat-

A hum of delight fills the otherwise silent living room as one blue hedgehog opens yet another foil wrapper in order to get to the hidden sweet inside. The room he sits in now is decorated in a fabulous display for the holiday's festivities. Cobwebs line the corners of the area housing realistic spiders to give it an old abandoned look, orange carved pumpkins—the classic Jack-O-Lanterns—sit in a row upon the table in front of the couch, their faces showing looks of horror and mischief, ghouls and bloody zombies lurk in waiting, and there's even a fog machine to add to the atmosphere.

Sonic, though, sits innocently in the center of it all adorned in frilly white angel wings and a halo eating away at the delicious candy sitting in the black and orange bowls. "These are so delicious! I'm glad Shadow told me to try these to make sure they taste okay for the Trick-or-Treaters!" he sticks another piece of gooey chocolate into his mouth feeling it practically melt on his tongue. "This one has peanut butter in it! Mmm…"

The front door opens at this very moment to reveal an obsidian hedgehog with crimson streaks along his pelt, the devil horns and pitch fork he has being his costume for the evening. Expecting to see his blue angel waiting patiently for his return with an insightful opinion on the candy he chose for the kids sure to show up later that evening, he's floored at the amount of candy wrappers that litter the couch and floor surrounding the blue hedgehog, the bowls once full of sweets, now nearly depleted of contents.

"Hedgehog…" Shadow says lowly in displeasure as he wades through the sea of trash strewn across the floor to the couch where the guilty hedgehog sits.

Looking up with curious green eyes, Sonic responds with a bright, "Hey, Shads! What's up?"

With a weary sigh, the dark hedgehog takes a seat next to the clueless hedgehog and promptly takes the bowl he's holding in preparation of his lecture. "What do you think you're doing, hedgehog?"

Furrowing his brows in confusion he responds with a cute pout to his lips. "I was trying the candy like you told me, Shads. And it's good! It's really good!"

Exhaling as he reaches forward to caress the muzzle of the genuine hedgehog, Shadow attempts to explain the situation. "Sonic, I asked you to taste a few, not eat our entire stock. That much sweets are incredibly bad for you and we also have kids that'll come to our door hoping to receive a treat."

Emerald eyes widen in realization, then become disheartened as he speaks, "Oh wow… I feel terrible. I really didn't mean to. It tastes so good though."

Chuckling at the adorableness of his hedgehog, Shadow rubs one of the flattened ears on the azure hedgehog's head as he responds, "I'm sure it is."

Giving this statement a thought, Sonic reaches into the bowl still sitting in Shadow's lap for the last piece of candy. "You wanna try it? It's the last one," he adds tantalizingly after unraveling the velvety, rich sweet and holding it towards the tan muzzle of his mate.

Shadow observes the piece before him intently for a minute, then draws it into his mouth, leaving a teasing lick along the tips of Sonic's fingers. His vivid red eyes travel up to Sonic's rosy face after he consumes the piece of chocolate, a conclusion drawing in his mind. "Yes, you're right. It is good, sweet even. But…"

The furry ears that top the cobalt hedgehog's cranium perk as he awaits Shadow's finished response. "But?"

"But it's not nearly as good or sweet as you," the dark hedgehog purrs as he draws his angel in for a sweltering kiss.
