Chapter 7: A moment of peace
Night had fallen on great forest by the time the group of mobians that rested in the cyclone mark 5 returned to their home.
The wildlife was silent as all of nature's creatures rested praying that a hunter of the night didn't find them.
Knuckles violet eyes tried to see everything at once as he leaned out of the open door, his dreadlocks swung behind him as he breathed in the foreign scents and listened to alien calls.
It was all so new, nature herself was changed from what he was used to and his brain had trouble trying to absorb all these new stimuli at once.
Growing bored he stalked back inside eyeing the two hedgehogs that lay curled up together in a black and blue ball.
The dark one had his arms protectively round his smaller lovers waist and was nuzzling him in his sleep, the blue hedgehog responded by pushing back against the other hedgehog trying to maximise their contact.
He leaned down watching in fascination as the dark one laid his lips on his lover, the blue one kissed back despite being asleep and soon the two where sharing breath again.
'Why do they do that? Does the blue one require oxygen from the dark one? No he was breathing just fine earlier...is he feeding him?' knuckles looked closer and saw no passing of food between the two but they were touching each with their tongues, it looked somewhat like a dance between two snakes in mating season.
Still confused and getting nervous at the strange looks the young bushy tailed creature at the front of the metal cave was throwing him by his investigations, he decided to investigate the others.
The green hedgehog with the thin dreadlocks was dozing noisily, his snores grated on knuckles hearing and he glared irritably at the oblivious hedgehog.
He wondered why the hedgehog's dreadlocks were so small; they could not catch the necessary wind currents to allow him to glide. Maybe he was a runt and did not grow sufficiently long dreadlocks?
He frowned at the strange animal hides that the hedgehog wore, what was the purpose of this fabric? Surely his fur is enough to keep him warm?
Shaking his head knuckles went over to the front of the helicopter ignoring the younglings flinch as he stepped near.
Tails yawned and hastily rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he looked up at knuckles.
"Hi my names tails...um what's yours?" asked the youngling sleepily.
Knuckles pointed at his spikes, tails nodded in understanding.
"So how did you meet the others?"
Knuckles looked around for something to write on, he looked at the gleaming metal floor...that metal didn't look too thick.
Tails realised what he was doing and quickly stopped him.
"No! Sorry but the cyclones not designed to have someone use it as a writing board!" the young fox looked around then pressing a few buttons on the controls he let go of the control stick, knuckles hissed as the helicopter lurched then quickly righted itself.
"Autopilot engaged," said a soft feminine voice.
Knuckles head span round as he tried to identify the speaker, it wasn't Sonia as her voice was more husky though still soft.
Tails sniggered, "It's the computer knuckles, there's nobody here" he explained as knuckles tried to understand what a 'computer' was, some kind of spirit perhaps?
Tails jumped off his seat and went to a small cupboard on the other side of the cockpit; he pulled a strange pad of white sheets and a carved stick.
"Here's something for you to write with" said tails happily as he handed knuckles the objects.
Knuckles held them in confusion for a moment before he brought the pad to his nose, he sniffed cautiously before ripping off a page and chewing on it.
'Not too bad, very dry though' he mused.
Tails sweatdropped, "Um...your supposed to write on it not eat it," he said embarrassed.
Knuckles swallowed and then eyed the pad; his spikes would just go right through?
"Using the pen!" said tails quickly when knuckles raised his fist.
"Here let me show you" tails took the pencil and paper and wrote his name on it, then wrote knuckles on it.
"See you can use the pencil to write what you want to say on it, then hand the paper to whoever your talking to" explained Tails.
Knuckles nodded then began writing, it was difficult with his huge hands and the tiny pencil but he got there, he handed the paper to tails.
'Thank you for this tails, as to you first question I met Sonia first after saving her from two metal monsters'
"So what did you two get up to?" asked tails interested, Knuckles frowned and wrote again.
'I climbed a tree to get food, Sonia did not climb anything on account that see was tied up'
Tails giggled, knuckles cocked his head at the strange noise.
"No I meant what did you two do together while you were alone?" he asked once he stopped giggling.
Knuckles eyes narrowed as a faint blush tinged his cheeks, he was grateful for his red fur as it disguised it rather well, he wrote again.
'That is not for you to know'
With that he walked back into the main room with tails frowning at his back, the young fox shrugged then went back to the controls giving another yawn as he went back to steering.
Knuckles observed Sonia from the corner of his eyes; the female hedgehog was lying across a metal log that was fixed to the wall of the 'helicopter', her eyes were closed as she slept in peace, her lips slightly pouting as she breathed quietly.
Knuckles shook his head as those strange feelings threatened to overcome him again.
He noticed Sonia was shivering in her sleep and knuckles glared in accusation at the cool wind that came from the open doorway, it could not be closed so the cold air was sweeping in freezing his friend.
'Friend...Sonia said I was hers though I still don't understand what it means' mused knuckles idly.
Knuckles looked around and saw a thick animal hide tied to a shelve on the wall.
He tore it free and opened it up inquisitively; the hide was a dark green and very thick and seemed to radiate heat.
Carefully knuckles lay the hide over Sonia tucking it into the corners to prevent heat loss, he felt gratified when Sonias shaking stopped and she snuggled into the blanket.
Knuckles watched her for a moment as he stood over like some mighty sentinel.
Her lips had quirked into a small smile as her eyelashes fluttered, a hair from her fringe had fallen on her eye and she was blinking to get rid of it, unsuccessful she gently began to shake her head giving small mumbles of discomfort.
Moving swiftly knuckles gently moved the hair out of her eyes placing it back into its normal puff of spikes.
'So soft'
Hesitantly knuckles reached out for her hair and tenderly ran his hand over it, he marvelled at the softness as he combed his fingers through it.
Sonia tilted her head back unconsciously to allow more contact and after a small argument with himself knuckles complied, running his hand through her hair as gently as he could.
His eyes never left her face as he watched in fascination as she smiled and her body relaxed completely, for a creature that had never let his guard down in his whole life it was quite astonishing to see.
He felt jubilation that Sonia felt safe enough round him to relax despite their rough first meeting, but she was asleep so she probably didn't realise what she was doing.
Giving a small yawn knuckles considered whether or not he should sleep, it was late and the strange metal device that Sonia had called a 'clock' said that they had 2 more hours until they reached Sonias home...it couldn't hurt to rest for thirty minutes or so...
Knuckles sat down and rested against the blanket hanging off Sonias resting-place, he leaned back and began to twist his head about trying to find a comfortable place to lay it.
His head meet something soft and warm under the blanket and knuckles blinked as he moved slightly to test it...it moved back against him.
He realised it was Sonias thigh, he thought of moving away to try and find another comfortable spot but sleep pressed down on his will and giving a small sigh knuckles resting fully on Sonia who didn't move to stop him.
He breathed in the musky feminine scent and the smell of sweet flowers her body wafted into the air and smiled softly as he fell asleep.
He never had such a good sleep as he was about to have, and also to his chagrin he wont awake for another two and half-hours.
Sonics ears twitched as he heard bird calls and voices talking around him, he could feel warm sunlight on his body and decided that dawn must have broke and it was time to get up.
'To hell with that I'm happy where I am!' thought sonic as he breathed in his lovers scent and relaxed in shadows arms.
Sonic mumbled a 'go away!' as something tried to shake him awake, he groaned as he buried his head into the soft fur of shadows shoulder, the hand ceased its actions for a moment and sonic gradually went back to sleep.
"WAKE UP SONIC!!!"
Sonic screamed and jumped up in surprise and fear, his head snapped round in confusion as shadow blinked up at him from his position on the floor.
He looked round and saw what woke him up, he snarled at Manics cheeky grin.
His green-furred brother was unsuccessfully trying to hide a megaphone behind his back but as the thing was huge noted sonic angrily it was still jutting out behind Manics spikes.
"Sleep well?" asked manic innocently.
"DIE!" roared sonic as he speared his brother sending both of them toppling to the floor where sonic began pummel him mercilessly.
Shadow sat up yawning warily; he stretched his limbs groaning as the kinks worked out of them.
He stood up hopping a bit to get his legs working as sonic and manic rolled across the floor swearing and punching each other.
Shadow eyed the two of them for a moment wincing when sonic bit manics arm and in retaliation manic slammed his fist in Sonics jaw.
Shadow rubbed his face tiredly, 'I need some coffee' he thought miserably.
He walked over sonic and stepped on manic ("hey!") to enter the cockpit, tails was asleep at the controls and shadow felt a moment of panic before he looked out of the window.
The plane had landed at the siblings base and they were in the clearing where they met tails yesterday, the sun was shining making the greenery of the forest glow with an almost ethereal light that brought a smile to shadows lips.
Tails gave a small shuffle as he curled up into a ball in his seat; he was even sucking his thumb.
'Good work little guy' thought shadow affectionately as he gave tails head-ruff a friendly pat.
He heard two loud bangs and sonic and Manics groaning, he stepped out already half-realising what had happened.
Yep sonic and Manic were both half-comatose on the floor with a large bruise on both their heads, manic was having trouble focusing and sonic was glaring angrily at his smirking sister.
"Dammit Sonia he started it!"
"And I'm finishing it, now shut up and lets get inside" she replied as she pulled Manic to his feet.
Shadow crept behind sonic and wrapped his arms round his lover's waist as he kissed the top of his head close to the bruise.
"Just a bit to the right" moaned sonic as he tilted his head back with a smile.
Shadow chuckled and kissed the bruise tenderly, he gently turned his cobalt lover and lifting his chin kissed his lips hungrily, sonic blushed realising Sonia and Manic were probably watching but he was beyond caring at this point.
Shadow pulled back and grinned at his dazed lover; he glanced at Sonics siblings from the corner of his eyes.
Sonia was smiling at them while Manic was grinning madly, he noticed shadows staring and made gagging notions.
This time both sonic and Sonia smacked him.
"OW! Hey I was just joking!" he defended.
"Listen how about we get into the base so I can get some coffee and have a rest for hopefully a whole day... and I really think Tails should be allowed to have a good sleep seeing as he was awake all night" said shadow irritably.
The others glanced at the fox cub, who was still asleep on his seat snoring cutely, Manic sighed and walked over to the young fox cub.
To everyone's surprise the green rockster gently picked up tails and cradled the smaller fox in his arms as he carried him off to the base.
"Whu-whats going on...Manic?" murmured tails sleepily as he looked up at Manic blearily.
"Go back to sleep little buddy, you're crashing at our place tonight for as long as you like"
"Are you sure? I don't want to annoy you"
"No way little guy! Laughed Manic, you did good back at the island and your gonna get somewhere peaceful and quiet to sleep, you can even have some fried breakfast if Sonics cooking doesn't kill you" Manic joked.
"I resent that!" yelled Sonic.
Manic chuckled and continued to quietly talk to his new friend as he walked towards the hideout.
The remaining hedgehogs were silent for a moment as they contemplated Manics closeness to the young fox.
"Well its good to see how good those two are getting along" said sonic happy for his brother.
"Tails is a sweet young fox, he'll be good for manic" said Shadow.
Sonia and sonic eyed him, "Just what is that supposed to mean?" asked Sonia suspiciously.
Shadow raised an eyeridge, "Exactly what I said that those two will become great friends" he answered calmly.
"You weren't implying that those two...could...you know?" said Sonia nervously.
"Get together? Become gay? Have sex with one another? No I don't" answered Shadow.
Sonic shook his head, "Look guys can we just go inside and put our feet up and eat chilli dogs ok?" said sonic beseechingly.
"Very well, Sonia where is knuckles by the way?" asked shadow.
"He's asleep," she said.
"Yeah we guessed that but where?" asked sonic.
"Well in the helicopter where else?" she said nervously.
"Sonia, your stalling, where is he?" asked shadow firmly.
"He's sleeping on my, well...I mean he sleep with me-in my bed! I mean not with me..." she stuttered.
Shadow blinked while sonic stared at sonia with his jaw wide-open.
"I guess you really dig red huh sis?" teased sonic.
He ducked when sonia lashed out with a right hook blushing furiously; he hopped out of her range grinning widely.
Shadow sniggered but wisely shut up when sonia glared at him.
He coughed then smiled at sonia, "Well sonia me and sonic will be waiting for you and the guardian in the base...I'm pleased you like him so much, I think you've made a good choice" he praised.
Sonia smirked at him," you like him too shadow?" sonic glared at her then looked at shadow trying to fake aloofness.
'Thanks sonia' "No I'm not a fan of red myself, he smiled at sonic, blue is much better" sonic smiled shyly back as shadow took his hand and lead him back to the hideout.
Sonia shook her head laughing quietly to herself, with a deep breath she stepped back inside the plane walking quietly into the corner where next to the two chairs that made her bed a lump of blankets rested at the base of them.
She noticed the lump under the covers hadn't moved and she gently pulled them aside to expose the creature beneath.
Knuckles the echidna was curled in a ball sleeping on the floor, sonia frowned at the frightened look on his face, he shivered and flinched in his sleep his face twisted into a visage of pain.
'Nightmares' thought sonia sadly.
(Flashback- last night)
Sonia grumbled as a strange whimpering brought her back into reality, she warily opened her eyes blinking out the sleep and squinting to see in the darkness.
She was still in the helicopter and it was night, how long had she been asleep?
She sat up and looked around for the strange noise, it sounded like...crying?
A gargled hiss made her head snap to the floor to see knuckles curled on the floor near her chairs, the echidna was mumbling and hissing in his sleep and even swiping out against unseen enemies.
She glanced at the cockpit seeing tails shaking his head and singing to himself, it sounded like heavy rock and as such the young fox was oblivious to any other noise then his music.
With a sigh sonia crouched down and gently reached out for the distressed echidna, she lightly ran her hands over his dreadlocks trying to soothe him.
This lasted for about three seconds before Sonias hand was grasped painfully by knuckles and she was thrown onto her back, the echidna hissed at her his fists raised in warning, sonia saw through frightened eyes that knuckles eyes were glassed and unfocused, he was still asleep.
"I'm not your enemy knuckles, I'm your friend" she whispered soothingly to the confused creature, she slowly reached out and cradled knuckles cheek as he hissed at it.
She began to gentle stroke him while humming a soothing tune, the grip on her hand lessened and knuckles shoulders began to slump as he fell back into his deep sleep.
Sonia looked around nervously as knuckles rested on her his head nuzzling her shoulder as he gave a small sigh of comfort.
Relieved no one had seen sonia went to lay knuckles down and get back onto her bench but the echidna clung to her like a scared child and made small whimpers of discomfort.
'Dammit why'd you have to do that'
With a sigh of surrender sonia reached for the blankets and wrapped them round herself and the sleeping echidna as she lay back against the cool metal floor.
She lay looking at the roof as she tried to fight the blush her close proximity to the echidna created, she looked down seeing that knuckles was draped half-over her with his head resting on her stomach as he smiled softly.
Sonia couldn't stop the feeling of contentment this position gave her as she absentmindedly stroked the echidnas head, unlike before knuckles did not flinch and gave a small mumble of happiness as she played with the soft red fur.
She stared up at the ceiling wondering in amazement how this wretched creature became so important to her, in just a matter of hours she had nearly kissed him, nearly touched him in a very sexual manner!
I don't believe in love at first site...but what else could it be? Wondered sonia.
She looked down again at the sleeping guardian and smiled at the cute little smile he had, she rubbed her eyes as sleep pressed on her again.
"Sweet dreams Knuckles" she whispered as she lay her head on knuckles shoulders.
(Back to present)
She slowly reached out to touch him; he tensed when her hand touched his dreadlocks, for a moment he was still allowing her to touch him them again he lashed out, sonia was ready and stepped aside as the echidna sailed past her and fell to the floor, the echidna sat up his head snapping round in confusion and he rubbed his eyes sleepily.
He finally noticed sonia and relaxed as he blearily got to his feet, he eyed her in confusion as he looked round for the others.
"They've all gone inside, we're home" she answered.
Knuckles nodded before his face light up with happiness as he rushed over to the blankets, Sonia watched in confusion as the echidna shuffled around the covers before pulling a pad of paper and a pencil from underneath.
He wrote furtively for a few moments before ripping off a page and handing it to Sonia.
'Thank you Sonia for caring for me especially with my home gone, I know that you are capable of defending yourself but after hearing your tale of Robotnik and his cruel rule of the surface and seeing for myself what he is capable of I have decided to join you in your fight against him, but I will take orders from no'one except you and even then only if I find them reasonable, as a further note I would be honoured to be your guardian as well as my emeralds princess Sonia'
Sonia smiled as she read the last bit although raised in luxury she was rarely called a princess and the idea of having a champion especially a worthy one was intriguing.
"I accept you into the ranks of the freedom fighters knuckles the echidna, but I am afraid I have no need of a personal guardian" she smiled at his crestfallen look but noted with respect that he accepted her decision and stood to attention, "however...I could always do with more friends?" she said timidly.
Knuckles smile returned and Sonia felt her heart beat faster at the beautiful sight.
Knuckles wrote again and handed her another page with a gentle smile, 'then I am honoured to be considered your friend Sonia'.
Sonia grinned happily and waved for knuckles to follow her as she jumped out of the helicopter feeling the grass crumple under her feet.
The echidna followed except kept himself semi-crouched as his eyes snapped round and he sniffed the air, his whole body language spoke defensive as he cautiously followed the amused Hedgehog.
Giving a sigh of irritation at his nervousness Sonia pulled Knuckles upright and took his hand as she practically dragged him to the base, the echidna almost pulled away but slowly relaxed into the strange sensation of being held, he followed his beautiful princess feeling the urge to protect her more fiercely then before.
'She's so beautiful both inside and out, I cannot believe how much I care for her nor that she even cares for a wasted creature like me...I promise I will never break her trust' swore knuckles to himself mentally.
The two walked through the forest just enjoying the feeling of being together as the entered the secret base.
Knuckles again entered cautiously as he breathed in the many scents of the place, more metal constructs dotted the large metal plateau that they had entered and knuckles wrinkled his nose at the smell of oil and chemicals around the room.
"This is the garage, we keep our vehicles and tools here." She pointed at a large rounded object that was worn and rusted and hovered a few centimetres above the floor, "That's our hover van, it's a beaten old bucket but that baby's got us through some tough scrapes" she said affectionately.
Knuckles just continued to eye the 'hovervan' this strange 'technology' was not to his tastes, it lacked the smells and feel of one of nature's constructs.
The entered the hallways and knuckles was reminded of the caves and caverns of his old home, it was similar but with metal instead of natures rocks and earth.
'Get used to it guardian, angel island is gone and this is my home now' despite this reasoning his heart was in pain at the loss of his home.
He smiled as sonia explained about the lights and this energy called 'electricity'.
'Thank chaos Sonia is here...I couldn't take this pain without her'
They entered the living room and noticed Manic was busy in the kitchen with Shadow and Sonic sitting together on one of the couches.
Knuckles knew it was wrong to enter another creature's territory but Sonias urging dispelled this instinct, she led him over to one of the couches and sat him down.
"Ok rest here for a sec ok and I'm gonna try and get my brother to share his food with the rest of us" said Sonia soothingly as knuckles fidgeted.
"More like force him to sis" said sonic cheekily.
Sonia smirked and walked off to talk to Manic.
Knuckles ignored the two hedgehogs lying opposite him and instead focused on the material of the 'couch' he was sitting on, it was quite soft to the touch and knuckles snuggled back into it.
Although to the hedgehogs he acted like they didn't exist inside he was shaking with nervousness, conversations was a thing he didn't do even when he could talk all it had been is 'stranger, kill' no talking except a simple 'leave or die' to his adversary.
Although the hedgehogs weren't gonna let him get away that easily.
"So how are you finding things here so far Knuckles?" asked sonic as he eyed knuckles unconscious fidgeting.
The echidna shrugged gaining an amused look from the speedster.
"How old are you guardian?" asked shadow smoothly, Sonics look of 'why did you ask that?' was ignored.
He wanted to know due to the fact everyone here was younger then him, shadow himself was eighteen years of age while sonic and his siblings where only sixteen, he wondered how much of a difference there was between this knuckles and the one from his reality.
Knuckles frowned and considered not answering...but then again what did it matter how old he was?
He wrote again on his paper and handed it to the dark hedgehog.
'I am 5218 risings of the sun old'
Sonics look was comical as his face scrunched up in confusion as he tried to do the calculations in his head.
"You are fourteen years old" answered shadow, the maths easy for one with a mind like his.
The echidna shrugged and sonic sat up in confusion, "wait does that mean you've been on that island for fourteen years?"
Knuckles nodded.
"But aren't there any other echidnas? Don't you have some friends who came to visit?" pressed sonic in amazement.
Knuckles was feeling uncomfortable but gave a meek shake of his head.
"What about your parents? Isn't there a note or a message to explain why they aren't with you?" shadow shook his head at Sonics questioning, although not meant offensive he could see what he was doing to the echidna.
Knuckles remained silent his eyes unfocused as Sonics words meant in sympathy and sadness cut into him.
'Why was there no note? The glyphs and runes in the ruins of the sky and the shrine depict my races exploits but nothing about me? Did they abandon me? Was I unwanted even at the moment of my birth?'
Knuckles sprang up in anger his fists clenched and his eyes blazing, he quickly scribbled something on the pad and practically threw it at sonic.
The two hedgehogs watched as the echidna stormed off ignoring Sonias words of worry, Knuckles left the room heading towards the sleeping quarters.
"Did I do something wrong?" asked sonic meekly.
"Sonic I love you dearly but sometimes you need to think about what you say" said shadow as he pulled the paper sheet off his quills.
'I do not know' it read.
Shadow sighed as sonic gave a small curse at his own foolishness, they both looked up as a shadow fell across them and gulped in fear.
"What did you say to him!?" said sonia her voice quiet but highly dangerous.
"I asked him about his family...he said he didn't have any" whispered sonic.
"Well of course he doesn't have any! Dammit sonic didn't you realise that from what shadow told us?" said Sonia in anger as she ran after her friend.
Sonics shoulders slumped in sadness and his ears flattened against his head, shadows heart ached seeing his mate so upset, he pulled him back against his chest and gently kissed his ears.
Sonics half-heartingly pushed shadow away, "Don't...I'm an idiot...I don't deserve a kiss" he muttered sadly.
"You're my idiot and I love you that way, besides what the ultimate life wants it gets and you 'kiss' are 'lick' mine! 'Kiss'" shadow said nuzzling his lovers sweet-smelling fur.
Sonic blushed and smiled shyly at his love, "Am I?"
Shadow claimed his love lips pushing him gently onto the couch as he showed him how much he loved him, their hands roamed each other's bodies and sonic moaned pleasurably.
"AHEM!"
The two stopped and looked up seeing Manic tapping his foot with his head averted, "Guys grubs up so can you at least eat the breakfast ive slaved over making for you guys then go and make out preferably in private?" he said nervously.
Shadow glared at Manic, maybe if he knocked him out he could at last do what he had wanted to do to his love since he first saw him all those days ago.
Sonic sat up his blue fur a bright purple as he smiled at his brother, "Sorry Manic, so where's this breakfast I'm starving!"
Manic and sonic sat at the kitchen table as shadow rubbed his head trying to erase the headache that was growing.
'Cant I have him without someone watching at least once?'
Wearily he walked over to the kitchen and at Sonics urging or pleading ate Manics prepared breakfast of fried goodness aka sausages, eggs and bacon.
Was pretty good though.
Knuckles smashed his fist into the nearest wall making two sharp punctures in the metal corridor, he hissed as his blood boiled in anger and sadness at Sonics questions.
He was not angry at the hedgehog but at what the answers to those questions were, he had never known his parents and for the first few years of his live he had often screamed into the night for them, he had never lost hope that one day they would return but as the years went he lost that hope.
He had grown up hard and fast, the first intruder was a vicious coyote and he had almost been killed when he had first protected the emerald, ever since that day he never called his parents again, he was now the guardian and he could not be weak.
But the wound had not healed and Sonics questions had tore it open to pump blood from it more painfully then any real wound could.
He entered the nearest dark room ducking down into a dark corner; he sat against a wall with his dreadlocks covering his face and his hands in his lap.
He rubbed his eyes snarling in frustration as his tears continued to flow from his eyes no matter how hard he rubbed them, giving a grunt of anger he shot to his feet and began to pace around the room.
'Why did they leave me!? Surely it would have been better to leave a message, at least some kind of guidance on how to protect the emerald?'
Knuckles had studied the ancients texts and tomes of his ancestors, strangely very few where on history or culture and more on the martial arts and the powers of chaos.
Still knuckles had learned all he could and over his short life had quickly become an impressive fighter, though not without great cost.
Knuckles rubbed his neck sadly as the memory of the coyote came back to him, he was lucky to have survived that first encounter as well as actually win, his very first opponent was no weak thief but a skilled killer.
'But I was victorious, and ever since then ive had my destiny to fall back on'
Knuckles eyed the satchel hanging from his shoulders and squeezed it feeling the reassuring hardness of the master emerald, although his home was gone knuckles still had his destiny.
Taking a calming breath knuckles froze as a familiar sweet scent wafted into his nostrils and sending his brain into overdrive.
'Sonia'
He whirled round but the hedgehog was not in the room, he sniffed around following an invisible scent trail of Sonias sweetness to the centre of the room.
He jumped back as his legs bumped into something and squinting in the darkness he saw a strange rectangular shape in the darkness.
Cautiously he reached out and touched it; he frowned at the softness of the material and its unlifelike coldness.
The material was a clean white similar to a the feathers of some of the birds on his island, in the corners and round the borders a swirling purple pattern resembling waves danced and flowed over the fabric.
It was another animal skin though covered with the mind-numbing scent of Sonia, knuckles crawled on top blinking in confusion as the object gave to allow him to sink in enough for comfort, yet kept its structure to suffiencently to carry him.
Nervously knuckles lay on the hide giving a moan of pleasure as he rested on the soft material, he stretched out feeling his muscles squeal in bliss and his bones sigh in peace.
He lay there for what seemed an eternity as the soft sheets warmed by his body and the sweet scent of his friend began to coax him into sleep.
'Knuckles you idiot you are breaking one of natures rules!' screamed his mind.
Knuckles eyes snapped open, he was in Sonias territory resting on HER sleeping area and slowly forcing his scent to replace hers.
He jumped to his feet bouncing on the bed and jumped off looking round wildly in fear sonia would appear out of thin air and be mad at him.
He stopped as a strange image greeted his eyes; a small shiny rectangular object was resting on a small log next to the bed.
He reached for it inquisitively and pulled it to his face drinking in the image.
It was three hedgehogs that beared an amazing resemblance to Sonia and her brothers, indeed they looked almost exactly like them yet they were small and appeared deformed with their limbs out of proportion of the body and the female had no breasts or curves, that knuckles had come to grow strangely attracted to in Sonia.
Also was another female hedgehog of the correct proportions, she was holding the three small hedgehogs and had a loving smile on her face.
Knuckles cocked his head to the side as he studied her, she looked like sonia yet was older and did not have the same hair, she also was wearing far more coloured rocks then sonia and a large metal ring round her head.
"She's our mother" whispered the soft voice of Sonia.
Knuckles looked over his shoulder seeing the tall figure of Sonia standing in the doorway, her green eyes were staring intently at him and knuckles quickly looked away in embarrassment.
He continued to observe this 'mother' she did look a lot like Sonia...or was it the other way round?
He felt the air move against his fur as Sonia stepped next to him, he ignored her as she looked over his shoulder brushing a dreadlock out of the way to see the picture, the echidna was unable to hold back his shiver.
"That was taken just when we were born, we all have a copy in our rooms" she whispered as she stared in sadness at her unknown mother, what was she like the young princess wondered, would she still love us even now despite all our flaws?
Knuckles pointed at the small purple furred hedgehog in the mother's lap, his confused look deepened with Sonias nervous chuckles.
"Yes thats me, I was pretty bratty back then, my foster parents had a lot of trouble raising me" she said embarrassed.
'They did a good job' thought knuckles.
Sonia reached for the picture and the echidna gladly parted with it, she walked over to the bed holding the picture tightly with both hands as she swam in her own thoughts.
She hugged the picture to her chest as she sat on the bed closing her eyes to stop the tears; they looked so happy back then...she wished that they could still be that way in her darker moments.
A soft touch soothed her cheek and she opened her eyes to see the echidna she had come to care for kneeling before her tenderly wiping the tears from her eyes.
She gave a teary smile and pushed against his hand, she felt him tremble then hesitantly rub her wet cheek.
She half opened her eyes gazing into his violet ones as he stared back at her in silent questioning, growing bold she reached up and gently reached to touch his face.
His eyes widened in panic and he pulled back swiftly jumping to his feet and stepping away from her, his eyes were fixed on the floor as he fidgeted with his hands.
Sonia sighed and let her hands fall to her lap, she really needed to work on this fear of touch if she wanted to get anywhere with him, she smirked at the challenge but knew not to push her new found obsession to far to soon.
"Knuckles" the echidna nervously met her eyes, "Come sit with me, we need to talk" she said patting the spot next to her.
The echidna grudgingly complied and sat next to the purple hedgehog as she put the photo back on the desk.
"Ok first sonic is really sorry for what he did, he never meant to upset you knuckles" she said.
Knuckles nodded, he would apologise to the hedgehog when he next saw him, another alien concept.
"And secondly I think its time to get you settled in with us" at the echidnas questioning look she smirked, oh cant wait to see the look on his face.
"You need sleeping quarters, seeing as shadow has the couch and my brothers aren't going to share, (that was a lie, if she wanted she could beat them until they agreed) so that means you will be sharing my room" she said devilishly.
The echidna blinked in astonishment before jumping to his feet and pacing around in terror, sleeping in the same room as Sonia? That couldn't work she'd keep trying to touch him and although not repulsed he was scared by all these new thoughts and feelings.
"So do you want the left side or the right" said Sonia cheekily as she laid back on the bed, she laughed at the death glare the echidna sent her but could see his internal battle not to roam his eyes over her body.
'He's gonna be a challenge but an enjoyable one' she thought wickedly as she inspected her nails.
Unknown to her Knuckles had picked up a pen and a scrap of paper from her desk and was beginning to write fiercely.
A piece of paper was flung at Sonias head and she raised an eyeridge at the fuming echidna, with a sigh she picked up the paper.
' I will sleep on the floor and you can have this 'bed', I do not know what you are trying to do Sonia but you will not succeed whatever it is!'
She looked up at the echidna who was eyeing her trophies and with a smirk got up and strolled over to him.
"I got those from a tournament in Mobodoon for martial arts, I came first place and beat the resident champion, ill take you one day you'll do great"
The echidna nodded his face hopeful at the prospect of future battles, sonia reached a hand round his shoulders and before he could object steered him towards some more trophies, he listened in rapt fascination as she explained the various athletics tournaments she had entered and the contests that took place.
By that time her arm had moved round his slim waist and was pressing his body against her own, she mentally shivered at the feel of his warm body against hers, Knuckles was oblivious to the lustful stares she sent to him as he handled one of her gold trophies.
'Oh I'm gonna enjoy this contest'
"So any secret missions today Manic, no weapons of mass destruction to find or dead scientists to meet?" asked Sonic humourly as he munched on a slice of toast, beside him shadow swallowed a slice of bacon and then turned to examine Manic.
The green hedgehog was less then pleased, "Very funny bro, I admit those missions had some problems but I would have thought you'd be able to handle it, or is this job getting too tough for you?" teased Manic.
"No 'job' is too hard for the embodiment of speed himself, (Shadow gave an irritated cough) and his partner in crime" finished sonic with a smirk.
Manic laughed at shadows indignant look, "Well guys we're lucky, we actually have a day off to relax and party...and I know the perfect place" he said with an evil grin.
'I'm not sure his idea of perfect will fit with mine' though shadow and judging by Sonics suspicious look he didn't either.
"And what is this perfect place Manic?" asked shadow after downing his coffee.
"There's a new club that's opening up in the city, its obviously only known to the underground due to Robuttniks laws but your amazing brother has managed to get VIP access to it" said Manic happily.
"What's it like there?" asked Sonic interested, he had never been to a true nightclub and the thought of introducing shadow to one was an interesting thought.
Manic shrugged, "No idea ive never been there before, its only just opened but a few of my freedom fighter friends says it's a bit unusual but its got good service and a nice atmosphere"
"What to you mean unusual?" asked shadow his suspicions growing.
"I don't know, they didn't explain but still guys it would be nice to all go out together as a family for once, he smirked at shadow, and with our boyfriends" said Manic seriously.
Sonic nodded, it would be nice for all of them to have a moment to be together as family without worrying about missions and robots.
"We could do with a breather...especially with all this hunting for the emeralds" mused sonic.
"I'm not so sure, there's still three emeralds unaccounted for that metal could be looking for right now" argued shadow.
"No worries shadow, high command says two of the emeralds are accounted for though they won't tell me where, 'top secret' ya know?" he said in irritation.
"As for the last one uncle Malagnars on the case, he'll find it soon enough and call us when he's got it" finished Manic taking a deep pull of his soda afterwards.
"Why to you call him your uncle?" asked Shadow confused.
The two brothers eyed each other before sonic cleared his throat.
"Well you see he and mum were good friends when she was still in charge, some people say they were...well 'very' close but Malagnar swears that that's just some vicious rumours made by his rivals" Said sonic nervously, shadow motioned for him to go on with a nod.
"Anyway when we were all split up it was him who kept an eye on us and made sure Robotnik never found us, once we formed Sonic underground he was the one who told us about our mother and who signed us up for the resistance" he explained.
Shadow nodded as he sat back in his chair absorbing this information, his respect for the aged walrus had certainly increased.
"So shadow...do you wanna go to the club with us, (with me)" asked sonic nervously.
Shadow smiled and taking Sonics hand gave him a small kiss on his palm, "Wouldn't miss it for the world" he said huskily as sonic smiled back brightly.
"Well now that's settled you two better get going" exclaimed manic as he threw his empty can across the room to go into the bin, it missed bearly.
"Get going where?" asked sonic as he held shadows hand with both his subconsciously.
With a growl the green hedgehog shot to his feet and stomped over to the bin, he picked up the can and threw it in muttering to himself.
He turned towards the two lovers sighing in aggravation; "You need to do some shopping dummies! You two don't have any clothes to wear for the club"
Shadow looked down at his shoes and gloves, "Manic we have fur, we don't need clothes"
Manic frowned at them, "Dudes! This is a fancy club, you need some gothic or punkish gear or you won't get in! Buy some black leather, sunglasses or chains or even get a piercing, just go and get some damn clothes!"
"Fine Manic calm down, I could do with some more shoes and gloves, Manics glare intensified, or better yet some body clothing" he said nervously.
"Do you think Sonia will want Knuckles to come too?" asked shadow as he got up wearily and put his plates and cup away.
"Probably, you better take him along too, hehe good luck with that guys" snickered manic.
"Don't you like him?" asked Sonic surprised.
Manic shook his head; "No I think he's ok I'm just a bit weary of someone who looks like he would eat me if he couldn't find any other food" joked Manic.
Shadow made his way to the sleeping quarters; "Ill go tell her, sonic ill be back in a bit ok?" shadow said over his shoulder.
Sonic nodded and then with a deep blush blew a kiss to shadow, surprised but pleased shadow gave a sexy grin back and licked his lips smirking at the blush on Sonics cheeks.
'Better make this good' he gave a little swagger to his walk as he left the room hearing Sonics sharp intake of breath as the dark hedgehogs butt wiggled enticingly.
'I am so bad' thought shadow wickedly as he left the room.
Manic smirked as he waved his hand in front of his comatose brother who continued to stare at the doorway where shadow had been, he didn't even blink.
"Oh you've got it bad bro" teased manic as he started filling a bucket with water...this will wake him.
Shadow eyed the two deep punctures in the metal wall of the corridor; knuckles must be very pissed.
'Don't worry sonia can take care of herself...and besides I don't believe the echidna will harm her' thought shadow.
He heard voices coming from the female hedgehog's bedroom; he put his ear to the door trying to hear what was being said.
"Ok now push it in, come on you baby push harder!" said Sonias voice, it sounded slightly strained.
Shadow pulled back in surprise, where they? Already!?
"Listen this is hurting me more then you...don't worry the pain will go in a second just...go slow" whispered sonia in a pained voice.
'Maybe I should come back later?' thought shadow, though he didn't move from where he was.
"Ohhhh...ahh yes like that...there, rub there...ohhh" moaned sonia, the husky sound made even shadow feel weak at the knees.
Finally unable to take anymore shadow stepped back...right onto an uneven plate of the floor, a low creaking sound unnoticeable to normal mobians except maybe Sonia and knuckles.
"Who's there!?" shouted sonia irritably, shadow stood frozen as the light sound of her walking reached the door and she threw it open.
Shadow swiftly closed his eyes, images of her and knuckles both naked...well ok sweaty and passion filled danced behind his eyelids, god sonias gonna kill me.
"Shadow why do you have your eyes closed?" asked sonia more confused then annoyed.
"I'm sorry Sonia but I didn't mean to interrupt you two, I just had a message to give you then ill quickly go" squeaked shadow.
"Don't worry we stopped a little while ago, knuckles managed to pin me and things got side-tracked from there" said Sonia irritated at the echidnas victory.
Shadows cheeks felt like they were on fire, he gulped and tried to talk from his suddenly dry mouth.
"Shadow you ok? You don't look so good...are you blushing?" asked Sonias voice in a very high level of confusion.
"I didn't mean to interrupt your first time I'm so sorry!" shadow blurted out in terror.
"Our first time? Shadow we were...oh" Sonias voice sounded shocked as she came to some kind of revelation, she gave a nervous chuckle and seemed to shuffle around in embarrassment.
"Shadow please open your eyes" pleaded sonia.
Shadow opened them hesitantly ready to swiftly shut them again; the site that greeted him was one he did not expect.
Sonia was still dressed though into simple white shorts that ended at her knees and a white T-shirt, she was covered in sweat and had a large bruise on her right shoulder that she rubbed nervously.
Her quills stuck in all directions and the sweaty look made her all the more beautiful though she looked more tired then passion filled.
Her room had strangely been cleared with all her stuff and the bed moved against the far wall to make space for...something.
Knuckles was standing next to sonia his head tilted in confusion at shadows blush, he had several bruises on his body and he too was very sweaty making his fur stick out at odd places.
'No bodily fluids other then sweat and no bite marks...so what were they doing?' thought shadow.
At shadows questioning gaze sonia reluctantly explained, "We were sparring and so I changed into better clothes and we made space in my room...knuckles pinned me and as I tried to escape I...I dislocated my arm so knuckles had to set it" she said highly embarrassed.
"But you were...moaning" said shadow with a blush.
Sonia also blushed and fidgeted nervously, knuckles eyed her in confusion and gave her injured arm a gentle rub to soothe her, Sonias blush intensified at knuckles innocent action.
"It hurt so knuckles...knuckles offered to massage it to help soothe the injured nerves, I said ok" she explained.
The two hedgehogs stood there looking around nervously but couldn't meet each others eyes, Knuckles looked between them in confusion then gave an irritated sigh and quickly wrote something on a scrap piece of paper he had in his fist, he handed it to shadow.
The paper had jumbled notes and writings all over it, obviously knuckles had written several messages on this paper, a small arrow pointed at one in particular.
'Shadow what is this message you wanted to give us?'
"Manic wants us all to go to this new club tonight, but to get in you need clothes so if you would like knuckles to come he needs something to wear" said Shadow.
Sonia smiled as she looked over her red furred friend, shopping was every girls passion even one as tough as her.
(Authors note: I apologise if this offends any female readers)
Knuckles couldn't help but feel slightly nervous at the look sonia was sending him, it looked...diabolic.
"Don't worry shadow ill find him something good to wear" said Sonia with a grin.
Shadow nodded as he walked away back towards the main living room, he grinned at the though of him and sonic having some time alone and getting clothes for each other.
'Wonder if I can get him in the changing rooms?' thought shadow lustfully.
Knuckles watched the hedgehog depart feeling a strange sensation of fear at being left alone with Sonia, he eyed the smirking teenager in suspicion as she looped her arm with his and turned him round.
"Don't worry knuckles, we'll have lots of fun" she whispered huskily sending shivers down the echidnas spine but he refused to relinquish the suspicious stare.
She gave a musical laugh at knuckles glare giving his arm a gentle squeeze of comfort.
"Knuckles don't worry I'm not going to do some horrible joke on you, ill leave that to manic, she chuckled, I'm just gonna show you more of the outside world and its people"
Knuckles gaze softened as he nodded and gave her a small smile, the hedgehog smiled and lead him back inside the room, she untangled her arm from his and giving a small blush motioned for him to turn his back.
The echidna faced away examining his claws in mild interest as he tried not to think about the naked hedgehog behind him, the sensation of lust was unknown to knuckles so he did not contemplate it but the feeling of curiosity was known and he was mulling it over as his ears picked up the sound of Sonias clothing falling to the floor.
Knuckles blushed as he heard the rustling sound of the shorts she wore sliding off her shapely hips and down her long legs, he shook his head clear of the confusing thought.
'I'm just curious, she is the only female I have encountered and I'm just curious as to what her uncovered form looks like, I mean its not like I'm going to do any thing else to her...so what if she is naked so am I and her brothers but it doesn't effect me.'
But she had things to hide, things that should not be visible to just anyone, he couldn't help but wonder what those strange mounds of flesh on her chest looked like uncovered, what was their purpose? Why did she have them?
'Why do I want to touch them?'
He snarled in anger at himself, they were just overgrown flesh on Sonias chest, what if they weren't meant to be there? The echidna couldn't imagine what uses they had other then constantly distracting him.
"Ok I'm done, how do I look?" said sonia as she gave a little twirl.
Knuckles turned and immediately felt all mental thoughts leave his head.
The dazzlingly beautiful hedgehog had her quills slicked back with some kind of liquid, they shined glossily and gently shook with every breath she took.
Her chest was covered by a pink top that ended at her midriff exposing the smooth skin and gentle layer of fur on her stomach.
The echidna felt his mouth grow dry as he examined her chest, the tight material of the top was pressing on her breasts making them stand out undeniably to anyone looking, curiously the word 'angel' was printed in white letters across the chest area of the shirt.
He forced his eyes lower feeling rude for staring at her breasts for so long, her legs were encased in a pair of tight blue jeans that like the breasts made her behind clearly visible the tight flesh almost begging for attention.
Forcing his eyes lower he examined the white shoes she wore critically, they looked similar to the shoes that sonic and manic wore but had little to no metal on them.
"Do I look ok?" Sonias voice carried nervousness in it.
Shaking his head knuckles quickly scrambled for his paper and pen quickly writing on it and passing it to the beautiful hedgehog.
'Sonia you look amazing, I never guessed that the animal hides could make you look so breathtaking, though I am confused by the shoes, they appear to be deformed somehow, perhaps they were made from runtish animals?'
Sonias smile that had grown from the beginning split open as she laughed merrily wiping the tears of joy from the corner of her eyes, she stared in open affection at the blushing echidna that was avoiding her gaze.
"Oh knuckles what am I gonna do with you, she giggled, these aren't called animals hides they're called clothes" she said tugging on her shirt.
Knuckles was transfixed by the way her breasts softly swayed by the gentle movement.
"And these are called trainers, there just simple shoes made to be comfortable, besides these are a few years old" she explained as the echidna nodded dazedly.
'Why is he staring at me like that?' wondered Sonia, she looked down at her shirt checking for any dirt or marks on the material.
Her eyes widened as the reason came to her, was he possible...staring at her breasts?
Her eyes took on an evil glint as an idea came to her.
"You like what you see knuckles?" she said coyly half-turning and clutching her arms round herself, the echidnas eyes bugged out at the sight but he swiftly turned his eyes away giving a curt nod as he made for the door.
Knuckles hissed to himself in anger, what is wrong with me! Why do I allow myself to be overcome by the appearance of this hedgehog? He raged at himself.
"Knuckles is something wrong?" asked Sonia in worry, the echidna whirled on her and Sonia stepped back at the look of anger on his face, but just as quickly as it appeared it was gone, the look replaced with an apologetic smile as Knuckles offered her his arm.
Smiling back she gave linked arms with him and swiftly gave him a small peck on the cheek in forgiveness, she felt her spine tingle at the contact.
Knuckles blushed at the contact and felt his legs grow weak and his heart pound in... In... In something!
He glanced at sonia in confusion who smiled back at him sweetly.
"Come on guardian lets go shopping!" she laughed as she dragged the nervous echidna with her.
Robotrobilous- Gothic dreams (a cloths shop)
(Authors note, forgive me I couldn't think of anything else)
Shadow eyed the rack of dark leather jackets in interest; he ran his hand over the dark material giving a contented sigh at the rough feeling of the leather.
He and Sonic had snuck into the city and come to this shop, Manic regularly bought his gear here and had said it would be a good place to start his search, so far it had proven true.
He smirked as he remembered the looks on Sonics and Manics faces when sonia had walked into the living room, she had been absolutely breathtaking and judging by the way knuckles couldn't keep his eyes off her he thought so too, however when gently teased about it by Manic the echidna had snarled in warning.
Once in the city the echidna and Sonia had gone off on their own Sonia holding the echidna close to her protectively as knuckles looked around in confusion and fear at everything, he had snarled and snapped at anyone who got too close but despite everything she had still stuck by him fearlessly.
'knuckles sure is special to have her' thought shadow affectionately.
He heard light footsteps behind him and smiled as his love sneaked up to him.
"Shadow" murmured sonic happily as he wrapped his hands round his lover's waist.
'But then ive got something special too' thought shadow as he turned in Sonics embrace and kissed him on the forehead.
"And what's got you so happy?" teased Shadow.
"Because ive got the most handsome hedgehog in the world in my arms" sonic whispered.
Shadow smirked and ran a hand over his quills, "hey I was made to be perfect remember?" he said slyly.
Sonic smirked back and gave shadow a light punch on the shoulder, "Idiot" he muttered.
Shadow grinned back cheekily as he dipped his head down and plundered his loves lips, he groaned as Sonics pressed back hungrily as he tasted his loves sweet lips.
He pulled back taking a quick gulp of air before attacking Sonics lips again pressing his love against the wall of coats behind them.
The leather flowed round them entangling them deeper in a forest of softness as hands wandered, sonic whimpered as shadow left his lips and nibbled on his neck and biting his pulse point gently.
"Shadow...ohhh...shadow" moaned sonic as shadow slowly went lower his instincts compelling him to move down his loves shaking body, he couldn't think about the fact they were in a public place, all that mattered was sonic and making his love scream his name.
"AHEM!"
Shadow blinked as if coming out of a daze and looked up into Sonics crimson face, he smirked at his lover giving sonic a final kiss on his stomach which the cobalt hedgehog instinctively pressed forward for more.
Giving an amused smile shadow complied giving sonic a slow lick up his shaking body before he finally stood up staring at his lover.
"Teaser" whispered sonic lovingly as shadow smiled back, the two hedgehogs finally turned towards the store clerk who had disrupted them.
She was a rabbit with tight leather clothing and various piercings on her face and her tongue, which appeared to be hanging out in shock.
"Enjoy the show?" teased shadow in a low sexy voice that caused the rabbit to blush even more and sonic to glare at his love.
"Sirs I'm sorry to disturb you but this is a clothes shop not a adult store, could you please wait until your in private before going down on each other?" she said trying to keep a straight face.
Shadow just raised an amused eyeridge while Sonics blush increased tenfold; shadow hoped his loves head wouldn't explode with all the blushing.
"We're sorry miss um id like to know where your changing rooms are please?" asked sonic meekly.
"At the far right end of the store there's a few rooms behind the assistance desk, just tell the girl there you want to change and she will show you to the male changing rooms" she said with a smile as sonic nodded gratefully and made to walk off.
He suddenly stopped and whirling round grasped shadow by his waist and slammed his lips into the startled ones of his dark lover.
'Ohhh fuck' shadows body melted as Sonics ferocious kiss made his whole body burn, the blue speedster pulled back breathlessly and gave his lover a cocky grin making shadow almost moan at Sonics flushed face.
"Your not the only one who can tease shadow" he whispered huskily, he jumped back out of shadows arms who made a futile grab at his laughing lover, he gave a grunt as he fell face first to the floor his arms still outstretched towards his giggling lover.
"See you soon shads," said sonic amused as he walked away his feet almost skipping in his glee.
Shadow stared at his lover from his place on the floor ignoring the snickering rabbit behind him as he watched his beautiful lover depart.
'One way or another, I will have him tonight' vowed shadow as his licked his lips still tasting sonic on them.
Rolling onto his back he sprang to his feet wiping the dust off his fur, he glared at the grinning store clerk as he pointed at the rack of leather coats.
"How much for one of these?"
Knuckles was feeling a rage far greater then any he experienced before, his teeth were set into a hideous snarl his fangs itching to tear into flesh. His fists were tightly clenched and his barbs shook with anger.
He was currently snarling at a thickly muscled dog that had dared attempt to violate Sonia and thus soil her body with his filthy touch, as the dog and his two squirrel friends surrounded him his mind flashed back to when this first started.
Flashback- 20 minutes ago
"Come on knuckles come out for fucks sake!" yelled Sonia as she stood tapping her feet impatiently outside the male changing room.
She had eventually led knuckles into this clothes shop, which although small had a good selection of street clothes, and gothic gear, she got all her leathers and cat suits from here.
She had been picking various clothes for the echidna dumping the ones she liked into his arms as the echidna followed her around like some vicious servant, well not vicious to her but anyone else was far game.
Although knuckles had finally learned to tolerate others as opposed to outright attacking anyone who got too close to Sonia and him while they walked the streets he still was wary of anyone who got close.
Sonia had been into two shops before and had been forced to leave before security chucked them out, one young girl of Sonias age who was working at the store had almost fainted when knuckles had snarled at her when she tried to take his measurements.
She knew the owners of this store, her name was 'Jenny' she was an old badger of around fifty who took no crap from anyone, she had tried to take knuckles measurements and when he did his expected snarl she had snarled back surprising the echidna.
She and Knuckles had then got into a staring contest with Sonia as an observer who was trying desperately not to laugh, although it took ten minutes knuckles finally looked away first as he grumbled to himself while Jenny took his measurements.
"That's a wild one you got there and no mistaking that, but he is quite a catch I must admit Sonia" Jenny had whispered to Sonia causing the young hedgehog to blush and jenny to laugh uproaressly.
Now she had finally got some good clothes for the echidna and he was taking ages to get dressed.
'Maybe he doesn't know how?' wondered sonia, she blushed at the thought of helping him get dressed, she wouldn't be able to keep her hands to herself.
She looked up as the curtain of the changing rooms was pushed aside and her echidna stepped out.
Knuckles was standing rigidly as he felt Sonias eyes sweep over him, he wore baggy grey shorts with a blue belt and a shiny silver buckle in the middle, the shorts had a few wavy blue lines on them and two blue crosshairs on the edge of both ends.
His eyes were covered by a pair of sunglasses, they were made of a light grey plastic and had orange lenses giving everything an orange tint to knuckles eyes.
His old worn out gloves were gone; instead a pair of dark leather gloves with holes punched through for his barbs covered his hands.
The gloves also ended halfway down his fingers exposing the sharp claws he had.
Lastly a silver chain with simple green jewel set in the middle hung from his neck which knuckles found to be pleasing.
Unknown to everyone but him and sonia the jewel was actually the master emerald, shrunk even further at knuckles urging he had set it on this chain so it would always be near him.
Lastly a pair of steel toe capped boots covered his feet, they were a deep red with a yellow stripe going round the middle, the padding round the entrance to the shoe was a light green.
Sonia had to mentally pick her jaw off the floor as she eyed her friend's new clothes, strange as now she had seen them she wanted to rip them off him?
'Stupid hormones'
"You look...great! Absolutely brilliant knuckles!" exclaimed Sonia in amazement.
Knuckles blushed and shuffled around nervously, the feel of this 'clothing' was unusual but not totally unpleasant, and if Sonia liked it then he would wear it.
He smiled at her as she paid the old badger 'Jenny' he had grown to like that old female, she was a powerful person despite her age.
Sonia linked arms with him again and lead them out of the shop chatting animatedly about this 'club' they were going to.
"And Manic says its cool so it has be ok, and it would be great to spend some time together as a family again, and with you and shadow there it will be even better!" she said her words spoke in a mad rush.
Knuckles blinked but gave a small nod to satisfy her even if he didn't catch half of what she said.
By now the sun had set and the entire city was filled with an errie darkness with flickering streetlights and glowing windows being the only illumination.
The two entered the dark alleyways of the city as they made their way to the secret hideout, fortunately (or unfortunately) the club was hidden in one of Robotrobilous number one criminal areas, swatbots and Robotniks mobian agents were loath to enter here as few made it out alive, killed by the many gangs who owned this area.
Despite their nature Manic had said that the club had made a deal with the gangs, they would be allowed free access to the club provided they gave no trouble and helped keep the club hidden from Robotnik, surprisingly the treaty was working but still the odd unprotected mobian had been mugged or even killed leaving or entering the area.
Still Sonia was confident she would be fine, besides who would want to attack a freedom fighter?
Knuckles sniffed the air as his hackles raised, he didn't like this, the alley was where too quiet and the faint shuffling of movement on the edge of his perception was making him nervous.
"Manics directions better work or I'm gonna kill him" muttered Sonia as they made their way deeper into the darkness.
Knuckles eyes were looking round wildly as he tried to pinpoint the danger his senses were warning him about, he had grown a sixth sense on the island and right now it was telling him that he and Sonia were in danger.
"Ahha! There it is!" said sonia happily as they spied the bright lights of the club a few yards away at the other end of the alley.
But as they took their first step towards it three figures leap out at them from the darkness, knuckles immediately pushed sonia aside as a huge shadow fell over him, a punch was thrown at him which he blocked effortlessly, he pulled his fist back and smashed it into his opponents chest feeling a dark satisfaction as blood splashed through the air as his spikes dug deeply into the assailants flesh.
"Knuckles!" shrieked sonia in warning but it was too late.
Another shadow had crept behind knuckles and the echidna had but a moment to twist his body to the side as a metal baseball bat smashed into his rips.
He gave a roar of pain as he fell to his knees, his glasses fell from his face and smashed on the floor.
The unknown attacker quickly grasped his neck and held a sharp knife to his throat, knuckles froze.
"Don't you dare attack babe unless you want your little boyfriend here to have his throat cut by me" warned the figure as sonia froze.
The moon had finally risen overhead and by the light knuckles saw his attackers.
Two squirrels were on either side of sonia leering at her as their eyes swept over her body, the figure on the floor was a pig with two deep cuts on his chest put there by knuckles, he noted with satisfaction that the wound was mortal and the pig was finding breathing increasingly difficult.
"So babe how much does this guy mean to you? You can run to the club, somewhere will hear you and come to your rescue but not his" mocked knuckles captor.
"Please don't hurt him" whispered sonia, the two squirrels laughed evilly.
"Oh please don't hurt him, I love him so much! Hahahaha!" joked one of the squirrels gaining a roar of laughter from his friends.
"So sweetie ive got a deal for you, me and my mates will let both of you go unharmed provided you give us something" sneered the leader as the two squirrels licked their lips.
"How much?" said sonia her eyes narrowing in hate.
The boss laughed and shook his head pityingly, "No babe it's not money we're after, we got enough of that...we want something more"
The squirrels leaned closer to sonia trapping her between them.
"We want you," said the boss quietly as sonia gasped in horror.
'No I wont let you touch her!' thought knuckles as his struggles increased, he yelped as the knife pressed harder against his neck a thin trickle of blood flowing down the cold metal.
"Its up to you girl, run and sacrifice him, or stay and let us all have you and you can leave and forget this ever happened" he said mockingly.
"You dirty bastards" hissed Sonia, she flinched as a one squirrel ran his hand down her arm, she pulled back her fist to punch him but the other squirrel grabbed her arm.
"Ah ah ah! No fighting girl or boss man will gut your boytoy over there!" said the squirrel menacingly.
Sonias eyes were brimming with tears as she stared at the boss, "please don't make me do this" she whispered, her plea got nothing more then laughter from the group.
"Sorry babe but a body as good as yours deserves a good fucking, and we are just the men to give it to you!" the boss laughed as he smiled sinisterly at her.
"Now strip" he hissed.
'Sonia don't do it, leave me, safe yourself!' knuckles mentally screamed, he pleaded with his eyes for Sonia to run but she just shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks.
(AUTHORS NOTE: THIS IS THE NEAR RAPE SCENE, IF THIS OFFENDS YOU PLEASE SKIP A PAGE OR TWO)
"I'm sorry" she whispered as her hands hesitantly went for the hem of her shirt, the squirrels and the boss watched lustfully as she slowly pulled her shirt up revealing more soft flesh and purple fur.
She finally pulled the shirt off completely leaving her bare with only a simple white bra to cover her chest.
The gang whistled and muttered to themselves lustfully as they took in the beauty of the hedgehog.
Knuckles couldn't help but stare in horror that she was forced to do this and yet in fascination at her body, the purple fur was light and looked as soft as silk, her breasts were small yet firm and fitted her body perfectly, there was no fat on her just pure toned muscle giving her a powerful frame but still she retained her feminine curves.
"Shit she's fucking hot!" swore one squirrel as he drooled openly making Sonia shudder in disgust.
The other grinned as he stepped forward and roughly grasped one of Sonias breasts squeezing the soft flesh harshly through the material of her bra.
Sonia gave a painful gasp as more tears fell from her eyes; the squirrel smirked as he stepped closer to her both hands roughly violating her breasts.
"You like that don't ya?" he snickered as Sonia glared hatefully at him, the other squirrel moved behind her and grasping her head quills forced her forward as the other leaned down to kiss her.
Sonia choked as he forced his tongue down her throat, her eyes were tightly closed but still more tears forced their way out of her closed lids.
She shuddered as the both squirrels crushed her between them; both had grasped a breast and were harshly rubbing the sore flesh.
Knuckles eyes were wide with horror as he watched this, the boss leaned closer and whispered, "Don't worry mate, she'll be ok, once we've had her we'll kill both of you so neither one has to suffer again" he taunted as his foul breath blasted across knuckles face.
The echidna shook as the full evil of this situation hit him, Sonia was submitting herself to these disgusting fiends, yet her sacrifice meant nothing as they were both going to be killed anyway.
His whole body shuddered in rage as his eyes narrowed into twin purple fires of hatred, his hands clenched so hard that they bleed as he heard Sonias cry of pain as one squirrel bit her neck.
The master emerald began to glow as its power was activated, Knuckles was so focused on his rage he didn't even feel the blade cutting a little deeper as the boss swore at him to stop moving.
"RRRRRAAAAAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!" Knuckles roared as an energy wave slammed outwards from his body, smashing aside the boss as though he was just a doll.
The two squirrels watched in terror as knuckles started to hover over the ground, his fur started to glow a dull pink and the emerald round his neck sparkled with energy.
(Release her or die!) Knuckles voice roared in the squirrel's ears, they hesitated and slowly let go off the amazed hedgehog.
"You dirty fucker"
Knuckles turned his head eyeing the boss at last he could see him.
The boss was a huge mangy dog, his fur was thick and appeared to be covered in lice, he wore a few dirty rags and tattered jeans.
The boss got up swinging his bat in one hand while holding the knife in front menacingly.
"Come on guys, lets show this asshole what happens to people who fuck with us!" he growled as the two squirrels pulled small blades from their own clothes and surrounded the echidna.
Knuckles eyes blazed with hate as he watched them surround him, he cracked his knuckles and twisted his neck to work out the kinks, already the chaos energy of the master was healing the cut on his neck.
(Bring it on!) His mind screamed.
Back to present.
Knuckles roared as he charged the dog, the huge beast swung his bat straight down towards the echidnas head but he smoothly twisted to the side, the bat sailed past him as knuckles swung round smashing his fist into the dogs face.
He snarled as he pushed his full weight into the blow, the dogs cheek was ripped open exposing the muscles and flesh inside his mouth, a few teeth were shattered by the sheer force of the blow.
The dog went head over heels collapsing on the floor near unconscious; knuckles raised both his fists ready to kill the disgusting fiend.
He gave a gasp of pain as a knife slipped into his back; he spun round his fist scything through the air as he slashed the squirrel that had dared attack him.
The squirrel fell back screaming as he clutched his arm, a cut so deep it exposed bone pumped blood over knuckles fur and the dirty floor of the alley.
Twisting round Knuckles gritted his teeth as he pulled the knife free, he snarled and crushed it as the wound on his back closed.
"Die freak!!" screamed the last squirrel as he lunged for knuckles his blade held before him.
Moving swiftly he grasped the squirrels arm and pulled upwards, there was a sickening tear as the arm was pulled from its socket as the squirrel screamed in agony.
Knuckles grinned evilly as blood splashed over his fur, throwing aside the limb contemptuously he smashed his fist into the squirrels face feeling his spikes bury themselves deep into his enemies skull.
He pulled out shaking the gore from his spikes as he turned towards the whimpering mess on the floor.
The remaining squirrel was still clutching his arm trying desperately to stop the bleeding, knuckles stared at him without mercy as he raised his fists.
"Please don't...please...I didn't mean to! I-I would have been gentle to her!" the squirrel pleaded.
(I have no pity for scum like you) thought knuckles as his fists slammed down, there was a cry then silence as the echidna calmly stood up.
"Hey fucker!" wheezed the voice of the dog.
Knuckles whirled round snarling in anger as the dog held Sonia in front of him, his knife was held in front of her neck as he smirked at the echidna.
Sonia herself didn't seem to notice, her eyes were glazed, as she stared ahead not noticing her surroundings.
"You may kill me asshole but your pretty little bitch will come to hell with me!" he snarled.
Knuckles acted swiftly, his hands tightly grasped the master emerald as he focused on it.
'Please help me' he begged.
(Master control!!)
Time completely freezed as the master held everything in status for a limited time, the entire world took on a green hue due to the power of the master.
Knuckles snarled as he approached the dog seeing the look of pure evil on his face as he made to slash Sonias neck, ever so gently he moved the knife away from Sonias delicate neck then gently pulled her from the dogs grasp.
He eyed the knife before changing its position grinning to himself, before focusing on Sonia.
'She's so cold' he mentally shivered as he lay sonia down then standing back up he glared at the dog.
'Time to die'
Time restarted as the knife slashed across soft flesh, blood spurted from the wound as the dogs eyes widened in surprise.
Knuckles had placed the knife at the dog's own throat and now that time had restarted the criminal had ripped open his own throat.
The dog fell to his knees as he weakly tried to stop the bleeding, blood ran over his fingers as his hand stretched out towards knuckles pleading with his eyes for help.
Knuckles shook his head as he stepped back, the dog eyes were filled with terror as his blood turned cold around his fingers and he collapsed lifeless on the filthy floor of the alley.
Knuckles stared at the dead dog for a moment before slowly expelling the chaos energy from him, his fur turned a light red again and his eyes stopped glowing, as did the emerald.
He turned towards Sonia kneeling before her as he pulled her up into a sitting position, he looked over her in desperation as she weakly clung to him but still didn't say anything.
'What's wrong with her?' he thought in terror.
He shook her gently giving small whimpers of terror when she didn't respond, he pulled her towards him hugging her desperately as he felt tears in his eyes.
Being so close to another person brought a reaction, she screamed and began to beat her fists against knuckles as he stared in confusion not stopping the blows.
"NO! Don't touch, don't touch me! Please just leave me alone!" she sobbed, Knuckles clasped her chin and forced her eyes to look into his, tears flowed down his eyes as he saw the pain in hers but at last she seemed to realise who he was.
"Knuckles?" she whispered as she stared at him in confusion.
He nodded tearfully giving a weak smile, her eyes narrowed as she stared then they suddenly shot open as she threw herself at him crying painfully.
"Oh knuckles I'm so sorry! I-I had to, I c-couldn't let them hurt you...I'm sorry" she sobbed.
Knuckles held her tightly as he rocked her back and forth trying to hold back his tears.
"I l-let them touch me...I'm nothing but a dirty slut..." she whispered.
Knuckles widened in anger as he pulled her back and forced her to look at him, he rapidly shook his head as he smashed his fist into the rocky floor of the alley forcing himself to write into the rock.
'No you are not'
Sonia lowered her head muttering to herself but knuckles pulled her back up and forced her to look at the writing, he pointed at it desperately giving small grunts of frustration.
Sonia smiled weakly at his attempts to make her better, "I cant stop thinking about them knuckles...they-they touched me...in places that are secret only to me"
She sobbed as she covered her face with her hands ignoring knuckles attempts to pull them gently away.
"And that was my first kiss...a sick freak who was going to rape me was my first kisser" she sobbed as knuckles watched helpless.
She uncovered her face her pained eyes staring hopelessly into his, "Is that what its like knuckles? Is that all I'm going to have?" she said sadly.
Knuckles was staring at her aghast that she would think that, but as he thought it he wondered are all other males like that? Would they try and touch her like that sicko.
'I wont let them!' he stared at Sonias eyes filled with tears and confusion.
'Because...because I-I want to do better' he took a deep breath and gently touched her cheek rubbed it soothingly, Sonias eyes were filled with confusion but she accepted the affectionate touch.
'Here goes nothing' he leaned forward his eyes focused on sonia, her beautiful emerald eyes widened as she realised what he was going to do but she didn't move.
Slowly knuckles narrowed the gap until his lips were within a few centimetres of hers; his eyes went to hers as he silently asked her permission.
He waited as her eyes looked into his, the look filled with an emotion he couldn't understand and then just as he feared she would pull back and hate him she nodded, just a small motion of the head...but it was enough.
He cautiously touched his lips to hers the touch whispersoft as he processed the unusual sensation; he pressed slightly harder until their lips were fully touching as he groaned at the sensation.
So soft...so delicious...she tasted like the sweetest fruit and knuckles had to resist the urge to pull her to him and deepen the kiss, he didn't want to scare her.
But it was not he but her who made the next move as she wrapped her arms round his neck, her hands grasping his dreadlocks as she pulled him almost desperately towards him.
Knuckles groaned as he pressed himself closer the taste and feel of her lips sending a cascade of feelings and emotions through him.
He cautiously closed his arms over her delicate hips nearly groaning as he rubbed the soft flesh and fur, she really did feel like silk.
Finally oxygen was becoming an issue as knuckles pulled back licking his lips and staring helplessly at sonia.
The hedgehog had her eyes closed, she leaned back in his arms as she licked her lips savouring the exotic taste of the echidna, knuckles gave a small squeak at the motion and almost kissed her again but held back, his confusion and fear still high.
"Knuckles..." Sonia whispered as she opened her eyes and stared at his amethyst ones, her eyes were filled with love and affection as she smiled happily at her friend, Knuckles ducked his head his cheeks glowing in embarrassment at what he had done.
Sonia grinned as she gently cupped the echidnas chin and pulled him forward, his eyes widened in amazement as she kissed him herself her lips pressing against his carefully.
Knuckles groaned as he responded pushing against her until both their mouths were wide open, as they tasted each other's essence.
A warm and wet object nervously ran across his lips and knuckles eyes snapped open in surprise as Sonias tongue hovered between their lips almost afraid to enter his mouth.
Eyes fluttering shut knuckles own tongue crept out to meet hers the first soft touch sending a lightning bolt of pleasure down both their spines.
Knuckles whimpered as sonia pressed harder against him her leg slipping between his and pressing upwards gently.
"Ahhh!" Knuckles threw his head back as he groaned at the touch, his eyes dazedly met Sonias amused ones as she stared in fascination at the play of emotions running through his eyes.
She leaned over him smiling gently at his fearful expression; obviously he was confused by what was happening especially in the lower regions.
Knuckles hissed in pleasure as sonia rubbed against the unfamiliar hardness in his shorts, he had never felt such feelings before and all he could do was stare helplessly at the hedgehog for some kind of explanation.
"Just relax knuckles, your safe with me" whispered sonia tenderly, she went for another kiss groaning in delight as knuckles pressed back just as eagerly.
She gave a sudden cry of pleasure as knuckles hands gently touched her breasts, the echidna swiftly pulled back in fear of hurting her but sonia just laughed and gently took his hands.
Somewhat nervous but confident she lightly laid his hands on her breasts a quiet plea to be gentle her only words.
Knuckles nodded as he tenderly stroked the soft flesh and lightly ran his fingers round the sides and the sensitive underneath.
(Authors note: I do not know this from experience unfortunately but I am told that this true, please correct me if false)
Sonia shuddered her spine tingling with pleasure as she moaned her head falling back and her eyes staring at the stars above just visible over the buildings.
She cried out in surprise as knuckles placed a hesitant kiss on the top of her breast the soft purple fur gaining moisture as knuckles licked and sucked on them tenderly.
Sonia hands grasped knuckles shoulders tightly as she rocked against him helpless under his ministrations, she gave a small whimper as knuckles mouth went lower and began to lick and probe at a diamond hard nipple under the bra.
Knuckles cautiously licked this strange protrusion on Sonias breast; he wondered what it was but guessing by Sonias shaking and whimpers it must feel nice to be touched.
Knuckles arms wrapped round her small waist as he pulled her against him, Sonia nearly screamed in ecstasy when knuckles began to suck and bite her nipple under the bra.
Sonia half-closed eyes dazedly looked over Knuckles shoulders she could barely think under Knuckles gentle attentions but something behind the echidnas shoulders was gaining her attention.
Shaking her head and trying to not think about the wonderful feeling of Knuckles kissing and licking her breasts she focused on the object behind them.
She gave a small gasp as she pulled back in shock, Knuckles looked up in confusion then followed her eyes and his eyes narrowed at the site.
The dead body of the dog was behind them with one squirrel slumped next to him, a growing pool of blood was forming round their bodies and both had expressions of absolute terror on their faces.
Sonias emerald eyes went into knuckles remorseless amethyst ones, "You killed them" she whispered a statement more then an accusation.
Knuckles nodded without hesitation, he was a killer and Sonia was in danger from those thugs, it was only natural what he did.
He finally averted his eyes from Sonias gaze of horror, he did what he had to do...surely she would understand.
He felt her weight leave his body as she stood up and walked away, knuckles hands shook in sadness but he refused to look up doing his best to ignore what was happening.
'I had to Sonia, don't you understand I had to! They were going to rape and kill you!' his mind raged and again he cursed his inability to talk, damn that fucking coyote!
He saw two white trainers step in front of him and a small delicate hand offered to him, he looked up into the sparkling eyes of Sonia his own eyes filled with pain.
Then she smiled and her eyes filled with understanding and forgiveness, she took his hand and helped him up pulling him into a hug as his body shivered.
"Its ok Knuckles...I don't blame you nor am I disgusted" she whispered making Knuckles release a breath of relief.
He looked over his love disappointed that she had put her shirt back on, he had wanted to carry on with whatever they were doing.
Sonia noticed his look and laughed giving a light thump o his shoulder and muttering "boys, never change".
"Knuckles what we were doing was great, well more then great! She blushed at Knuckles grin, but being surrounded by dead bodies does kill the mood a bit for me" she explained.
Knuckles nodded and eyeing the club in suspicion pointed out to it, he didn't want Sonia near any other males who might try to take advantage of her but if she wanted to go he would protect her.
Sonia shook her head gnawing her lip in nervousness, "Knuckles I...I'm not really feeling up to a night out anymore, is it ok if we just...go home?" she pleaded.
Knuckles smiled nodding his head vigorously, he wanted to get the hell out of here too, he grasped the master emerald and began the bothersome task of begging it to allow another master control.
Sonias eyes wandered as she looked over his powerful form, she blushed as the feeling of being held in his arms came back to her and she felt her body burn in want.
She gasped as she looked lower her eyes wide at the very large bulge in the echidnas shorts, knuckles seemed oblivious but Sonia couldn't help but stare.
'Oh god that's just...just so hot...wonder what it looks like?' she blushed as she felt herself grow wet at the though of touching that huge member...of being filled by it...she licked her lips as knuckles walked over to her.
(Authors note: I am blushing like mad writing this so please be gentle ok?)
Knuckles cocked his head in confusion, why was Sonia staring at his shorts, he looked down himself and almost jumped in surprise...was that the hardness he felt and still felt!?
Sonia watched in amazement as knuckles hand slowly reached down and began to lightly touch himself in curiosity, he hissed in pleasure his eyes half-closing as he started to close his fist over his member.
"OK! I think that's enough for now knuckles!" 'Cause I wanna be the one doing that' she gently pulled his hand free noting with amusement that the single light touch of her hand made the bulge jerk in response.
Knuckles shook his head in confusion but wrapped his arm round Sonia pulling her close as the other grasped the master.
Sonia realised what he was going to do so leaned against him happily as she closed her eyes, she felt his arm tighten protectively round her as she breathed in his exotic scent.
Knuckles had to shake his head to clear it, Sonias affection was one HELL of a distraction when it came to focusing...but he wouldn't ever want it to end.
(master control!) And with a green flash they both disappeared.
"So when's Manic gonna get here?" mused Sonic as he tapped his foot impatiently outside the club.
Shadow didn't answer too focused on his lover to even hear, sonic was wearing baggy black shorts with a Ying and yang symbol on the legs.
A thin black shirt that had satanic writing moving across it and what looked like the grim reaper in front covered his chest.
Sonic even wore small bracelets similar to Manics on his arms and lastly a small necklace with a metal fang on it.
Sonic looked over his lover grinning at the dazed look he had, shadow himself was wearing black jeans with grey patches on them.
A long leather jacket that he had left unbuttoned exposing his muscular chest covered his body.
Sonic had to shake his head to get over his own daydreaming; he waltzed over to shadow giving the dark hedgehog a peck on the cheek before leaning against him.
"You think we should just go in?" asked sonic as he nuzzled his lover.
"He could be waiting inside...but perhaps we should wait a few minutes more before going in" said shadow quietly as he leaned into sonic.
"Sonia still hasn't turned up yet" muttered sonic as shadow gave him a kiss on top of his head.
"I do not believe she will turn up...she doesn't strike me as the type to be late without reason" answered shadow.
"Hope she and knuckles are ok" sonic said nervously.
"Don't worry sonic they can take care of themselves" soothed shadow.
Sonic nodded as he closed his eyes sighing as shadow pulled him close, he buried his head in his loves neck breathing in his spicy scent.
'I'm so glad to have you shadow'
Shadow eyed this club that they were soon going to enter, two large bears were at the entrance checking to see if everyone had access and throwing glares at anyone they deemed suspicious, one of them met shadows eyes and smirked at him as he eyed sonic.
Shadow hissed showing his teeth at the bear as his eyes narrowed to deadly slits, the bear raised an eyeridge and throwing a parting smirk turned to check a young couples passes.
'Asshole...better be careful or he'll be losing some teeth' though shadow darkly.
"Shadow you ok?" whispered sonic, concerned after hearing shadow hiss.
Shadow just shook his head and kissed his love on his head cuddling him protectively, "Its fine sonic" he muttered eyeing the bouncer.
Shadow looked round at all the people entering the club, surprisingly most were male with only a few females present, his eyes widened as two female foxes kissed each other as they entered the club.
'At least this club seems to welcome same sex couples' though shadow appreciatively.
"YO GUYS!"
They both turned to see manic running towards them, the green hedgehog stopped in front of them bending over with his hands on his knees as he took deep gulps of breath.
"Didn't...think I was...'wheeze'...gonna get here...'cough'...in time" he stammered breathlessly.
"What took you so long manic?" asked sonic rubbing his brother's back to help.
"Had to take Tails home...had a chat with uncle as well and then remembered the club so I jetted here as quick as I could" he answered finally standing up straight.
"Uncle says he's got a lead to where the next emerald is but he wont find out till tomorrow so he said for us to have fun tonight" The rockster looked round in confusion, "Hey where's Sonia and knuckles?" he asked worried.
"They have not turned up so I assume they wont come at all" answered shadow as he eyed Manics clothing, the rockster was wearing exactly what he always wore, his brown jacket, bracelets and steel-toe capped boots...all he had done was clean and iron them.
"I like the new clothes manic" said shadow irritably, sonic at last noticed his brothers get-up and gave a small frown of annoyance.
"You made us buy all these new clothes when you haven't got anything to wear either!?" he said angrily.
"Hey I never said I needed new clothes, you were the guys who walk around naked all the time...besides these are fine" mocked manic as he made his way to the entrance the other two hedgehogs followed him.
The bear that had been staring at shadow blinked as he saw manic before his eyes widened in surprise.
"Manic! Yo wassup brother what you doing here!?" he yelled grinning as he towered over the hedgehog.
Manic smirked as he shrugged carelessly; "Just scoping out the new club man, hell what are you doing here! Never twigged you for being the bouncer type...hell never imagined you in a suit either!" joked manic giving the bear a light punch on the arm.
"This place need protecting man and me and my boys be just the guys to do it...and the cash is pretty cool too!" he laughed, he eyed the other two hedgehogs, "They with you?" he asked.
Manic slung an arm round both hedgehogs grinning happily as both shot him irritated looks, "Yep these my boys too! This little blue guy is sonic my brother, and this tall dark and scary porcupine is shadow!" he winced when shadow and sonic elbowed him.
He pointed at the huge bear who was grinning at the small fight, "And this big walking carpet is Joe a friend of mine from my thieving days" said manic.
"Hello its nice to meet you" said sonic smiling as he held out his hand, the bear smiled back and engulfed Sonics hand with his own enormous paw giving it a light shake, he smirked revealing large canines when shadow tensed up as Sonics hand was touched.
"Its nice to see you too little guy, so this you twos first time in this kind of place? Like a date or something?" Joe asked smiling.
Sonic blushed while shadow just glared, "What do you mean 'this kind of place'?" asked shadow.
"You don't know? Well I'm not gonna spoil the surprise...oh don't look at me like that blackie this is a nice place although I prefer to stay outside" reassured the bear.
"Well if you say its ok then I'm sure it's cool, here's our passes!" said Manic handing the tickets to the bouncer.
"Have fun guys and Manic...watch what you say and don't break too many hearts when you say your straight" said the bear laughing afterwards.
The hedgehogs all eyed each other before Manic shrugged and stepped through shadow and sonic following him.
Shadow had to immediately squint his eyes when he entered, the place was almost pitch black with beams of different coloured lights streaming round the room illuminating what seemed hundreds of faceless couples dancing and rubbing against each other.
Heavy rock music filled the air the whole building seemed to shake with each beat and shadow had to concentrate to hear what Manic was saying.
"GUYS! LETS GRAP A TABLE THEN GET SOME DRINKS OK!?" He shouted to be heard.
The other two nodded as they walked round the edge of the huge room, the place had a bar at the far right with tables all round the walls, a dance floor with the neon bright lights focused on it occupied the centre with a stage and a band up front.
Finally finding a table they all sat round as they watched the dancers, it was impossible to see much but they all noticed the amazing number of males on the dancefloor, males dancing with males.
"Holy shit this is a gay bar!!" yelled Manic in surprise, sonic blushed as he looked round noticing all the men kissing each other, he gulped as he saw two dancing with their hands down each others jeans.
Shadow looked round his face not showing surprise just amusement as his calculating gaze swept the room.
"Lets go get a drink" he said slapping manic on the shoulder.
"Dude we're in a gay bar! And you want to stay and have a drink!" swore Manic in horror.
Shadows gaze met Manics as he stared at the hedgehog for a moment before answering, "What are me and sonic, Manic?" he said as if talking to a child.
Manic blinked before giving a sheepish smile, "Sorry dude forgot you two wouldn't mind...fine lets get a drink" he turned and gave sonic a little shake, "Stay here and keep our table ok?" he said.
Sonic nodded as he watched the two disappear in the sea of bodies, he sighed and leaned back closing his eyes as he nodded his head to the music.
"All alone beautiful?" asked a slick and sinister voice.
Sonics eyes shot open as he stared at the weasel that was standing above him smiling lustfully at him.
The weasel like all his species was thin and lithe with strong muscles; he wore some blue jeans and a white unbuttoned shirt exposing his thin chest.
Sonic gulped as the weasel ran his eyes over the hedgehogs body, "N-no I'm waiting for my friends to come back with the drinks" he answered nervously.
"That's not what I meant, the weasel said easing himself into the seat next to sonic, what I meant is are you with anyone...special" he said suspiciously.
"Shadow...I'm here with shadow" said sonic as he leaned away from the weasel nervously.
"And this...shadow, where is he now?" asked the weasel leaning closer.
"Getting the drinks with my brother" sonic answered get more uncomfortable.
"Look I think you should go, that seats reserved!" he said firmly glaring at the smirking weasel.
"Such fire...I bet he enjoys you in bed" teased the weasel.
Sonic blushed furiously, "That's none of your business!"
The weasel grin was pure evil as he leaned closer until his sweet minty breath blew into Sonics nose.
"That's too bad for him" he whispered as he moved to kiss sonic, the hedgehogs eyes widened in amazement before he punched the weasel straight on the chin.
"Don't you dare touch me!" he hissed as the weasel rubbed his jaw, he glared at sonic before lunging at the surprised hedgehog.
He grasped Sonics arms holding the smaller hedgehog tight as he pulled him against his body.
"Nobody refuses me...nobody says what I can or cannot do" he hissed as he leaned in to steal Sonics scared lips.
He suddenly choked as a black furred hand wrapped round his throat and pulled him off sonic, shadow pulled the weasel face to face snarling in the weasels terrified face.
"Never touch him again" he hissed as he threw the weasel across the room, he screamed as he hit a few dancers who kicked and punched him as they tried to get up.
Shadow grunted and then turned towards Sonic who had watched the whole thing wide-eyed in amazement.
Shadow swiftly knelt down and kissed sonic gently as he pulled the blue hedgehog into his arms, sonic kissed back fiercly as he clung to shadow.
They pulled apart sonics eyes slightly teary as he wiped them as shadow rubbed his cheek soothingly.
"Thank you shadow" the cobalt hedgehog whispered.
"Any time" shadow answered smiling affectionately.
"Dudes can you stop making a scene please its bad enough looking around this place" joked manic as he set their drinks down and sat next to his brother, his jaw dropped as he saw two vixens kissing each other hungrily and rocking against each other.
"On the other hand...this place is great!" he laughed as he stared at the two girls.
Sonic smacked his brother round the head grinning in amusement at his indignant yelp.
Shadow chuckled as he passed sonic his beer, the blue hedgehog eyed it in distaste but shadow raised a cocky eyebrow.
"Whats the matter blue cant handle it?" shadow teased.
Sonic glared at him, "I can take anything you can and more...blackie" sneered Sonic.
"ohhh drinking contest!" laughed manic as he took a gulp of his beer gritting his teeth as it burned down his throat.
"If we're having a drinking contest we best do it right, wait here a sec guys" said manic as he hurried to the bar.
Five minutes later three shot glasses and a large bottle of Vodka sat on the table as all three hedgehogs held their glasses in front of them.
"last one standing wins!" said Manic gleefully.
"Your going down Blackie" mocked Sonic.
"I think not bluey" smirked Shadow.
"One...two...three!" yelled Manic.
All three quickly downed their glasses, Manic eyes teared up as he coughed and rubbed his throat, Sonic gave a small cough and quickly rubbed his eyes before straighting himself.
Shadow just shuddered a little as he kept his eyes firmly shut, when he opened them they weren't even a little teary.
"Again?" said shadow smiling at the other two.
The two hedgehogs gaped at shadow before Sonic gave a determined glare and filled their glasses up again.
"of course" He muttered as they all downed their drinks.
An hour later manic was happily snoring under the table an empty shot glass in his hand.
Sonic hiccuped as he slammed his glass down shaking a little with a goofy grin on his face.
Shadow calmly placed his glass down his eyes a little bloodshot and the occasional cough forcing its way out of his mouth.
"s-soo you g-givvvee in yet 'hiccup' shadssss..." slurred Sonic.
"Not a chance in hell" grinned shadow as he watched Sonic frown at him.
"t-thhaaatss a bummeer-r as im gonna...'hiccup'...givviss up now...'hiccup'" he said before falling back in his chair, he head twisted to the side as he watched all the dancers thrust and rub against each other, he grimaced as the rapid motion made his head spin but it stopped when he spied a young couple at the edge of the dance ring.
Two young males, a rat and a fox were happily holding each other gently swaying to the music, both had small smiles on their faces and their eyes closed in bliss and sonic couldn't help but smile ablit drunkingly at the site.
"Shadow...I wanntts to d-dance..plwwweeasse?" sonic pleaded as shadow eyed the dancefloor.
"im not so sure sonic" said shadow nervously, dancing was not something he had any experience with.
"pllwweeze!" begged sonic pouting at his lover, shadow almost cracked up but settled for a thin smile and a sigh.
"If it will get you stop throwing those ridiculas faces" he lightly teased.
Sonic just grinning and began to pull a variaty of faces, gworling, happy, coy and his drunken attempt at sexy all got deep gut-wrenching laughs from shadow.
"Ok ok! Come on bluey lets go dance" he said as he helped sonic up.
"I knewws youd see the lightsss" squeaked sonic as he tried to keep his balance, he hovered for a moment his legs shaking and the blue hedgehog gave the occasional dip in the direction of the floor, but shadow was there to correct him and finally he regained his balance.
"thankss" said sonic smiling tnedarly at his love, shadow smiled back as he directed them to the dance floor.
They both smiled as sonic slowly wrapped his hands round shadows shoulders, the dark hedgehog responded by pulling sonic tendarly against him so they were both gently swaying to to the soft music together.
(Close your eyes so you don't feel them...they don't need to see you cry)
Sonic eyes were locked on shadows as the world around them vanished...and instead became focused on those twin pools of demonic red, they are so beautiful.
Shadow couldn't help but become lost in the beautiful jewels of sonics eyes, he smiled as they just basked in each others presense.
(I cant promise I will hear you...but if you want to I will try)
Sonic leaned forward his lips gently touching shadows, the dark hedgehog pressed back just as tendarly his eyes closing in peace.
(ill sing a summer seranad, the past is done we've been betrayed...its true)
Sonics hands ran over shadows quills as he pressed his body against his dark lover, shadow leaned forward as both hedgehogs fur meshed as they become so close that in the dark they seemed to be a single entirty.
(someone said the truth will lie, I believe without a doubt...in you)
Shadow ended the kiss resting his head against sonics, he smiled loveingly at his lover and whispered "I believe without a doubt...in you" in a loving voice.
(you where there for summer dreaming, and you gave me what I need, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity...for eternity)
Sonic smiled back tearfully, he kissed shadows nose and spoke his own words, "you gave me what I need...freedom" he replied lovingly as he hugged shadow tightly and buryed his head in shadows neck.
(yesterday when you were walking, we talked about the mall...and that, what they did that made you happy...what they did that made you sad)
"I'll always keep you safe from those who would make you sad...I promise" shadow whispered, sonic just smiled and kissed shadows neck as he breathed in his scent.
(we sat and watched the sun go down, picked a star before we lost...the moon)
The two hedgehogs continued to sway as the soft music flowed over them, both had their eyes shut tight with sonic wrapped protectively in shadows arms as the dark hedgehog kissed his lovers head affectionately.
(youth is wasted on the young, before you know its come and gone...too soon)
"I wont waste you" whispered sonic as shadow nuzzled his fur.
(You were there for summer dreaming, and you gave me what I need, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity...for eternity...for eternity)
Sonic ran his hands through shadows quills feeling overwhelmed with how much love he had for this hedgehog, he never guessed that one day he would fall in love with someone so dark or even male! But now that's it happened the blue speedster would never trade it for the world.
(You were there for summer dreaming, and you gave me what I need, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity...for eternity...for eternity)
Feeling the song end but not wanting to leave this beautiful moment shadow pulled sonic against him as tightly as he could without pain trying to absorb as much love as he could, senseing his intention sonics hugged back just as fiercely, tears of pure happiness fell down his cheeks.
(you were there for summer dreaming, and you are a friend indeed, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity.
You were there for summer dreaming, and you are a friend indeed, and I hope you find your freedom...eventually..for eternity...)
The song finished and one by one the couples left the dance floor, shadow and sonic continued to hold each other with loving smiles on their faces even as the next song started.
Sonic pulled back and smiled tearfully at his lover, "I love you shadow the hedgehog...with all my heart" he swore as he blushed bashfully.
Shadows smile could have lit up the room, sonic was transfixed by the beautiful site.
Shadow pulled sonic up and kissed him tearfully as his and sonics tongues did there own dance.
Shadow pulled back leaving both breathless, there were real tears in his eyes but his smile didn't falter.
"I love you too sonic the hedgehog...with all my heart AND soul" he swore grinning happily.
They went to kiss again when a crash sounded in their ears, both whirled round sonic too much in his drunk state so shadow quickly righted him with a grin at the action.
Manic had just woke up and was laying propped up on his arms as he looked round the room blearily, he spotted sonic and shadow and stared at them for a moment.
"Hey who won!?" he shouted drunkingly.
The club filled with sonic and shadows laughter as Manic shouted at them to shut-up due to his headache.
Outside Joe shook his head grinning in amusement at the noise as he let some more patrons in.
2:00 am - the hedgehogs hideout-great forest.
"Manic you should have let shadow drive!" yelled sonic as he rubbed the bruise he gained due to manics drunken driving.
"He doesn't have a drivers license" protested Manic.
"Neither do you!" screamed sonic immediantly wincing as his head shuddered in pain.
"come on guys we should get inside and get some rest...and please shut up I have a headache at the moment" said shadow rubbing his eyes.
"Ahha! So the mighty shadow submits to the power of alcohol too! Oh how the mighty have fallen" laughed sonic as Manic giggled.
"lets go" ordered shadow as he opened the door and jumped out of the hover van, he held his hands out to assist the other two very drunk mobians.
Manic tried to jump out but slipped due to his state and fell right into shadows arms, the dark hedgehog grunted as he quickly righted himself and glared at the green hedgehog in his arms.
"Why shadow, I never knew you felt that way about me" joked manic, shadow raised an eyeridge then prombly dropped the rockster.
"Shit there was a rock there! Right were my ass currently is in all!" grumbled manic as he stood up and drunkingly swayed inside the base.
Shadow smiled at the nervous sonic as he held out his arms, he snickered as sonics hesitation.
"come on sonic ill catch you" he said soothingly, sonic shrugged then just walked off the edge.
Shadow quickly caught his lover before he hit the ground, he groaned as his head ached then slung sonic over his shoulder.
"This is niccee 'hic' shadow, mind if I just fall asleep here?" asked the blue hedgehog.
Shadow was currently eyeing sonics ass trying to force his hand from touching it on sheer will power alone...it was a hopeless battle.
Hesitantly he touched the soft fur running his hand over the firm muscles and grinning at sonics happy sigh.
"Shadow are you touching my butt?" asked sonics voice from over his shoulder, shadow blushed as he gave one of sonics ass cheeks a genntle sqeeze making the blue hedgehog squirm pleasureable.
"Yes, yes I am" said shadow truthfully.
"Ok then" said sonic as he surrendered to shadows attentions, even if sober he would have allowed it but he would have been blushing like mad, instead now drunk he moaned and squirmed about rubbing his body against shadows as the hand continued its wonderful torture of sonic body.
The two finally made their way into the base, sonic gave an evil grin as an idea came to him.
Shadow was walking towards the living room when he suddenly stopped dead his eyes wide a startled gasp coming from his lips.
Sonic was licking and biting the tip of shadows tail which is all he could reach, his hand was also tendarly rubbing the dark hedgehogs butt making him shiver in pleasure.
Shadow cleared his throat and coming to a decision asked the question, "Sonic, do you remember when we first kissed?" he asked smiling at the memory.
Sonic nodded, "How could I forget" answered sonic as he blushed at what he did.
"remember we wanted to...to go all...you know all the way, but we decided to stop" shadow said nervously his throat very dry.
Sonic blinked in confusion wondering what shadow was getting at, "Yes I do and I don't stop thinking about what could have happened" he answered as he gave shadows tail a nibble.
"you think about...what could have happened?" whispered shadow in amazement.
"yep that's why I was glad but also sad we don't share rooms, I don't think id be able to stop touching you if we did" he said truthfully.
"Then how about we sleep together tonight" asked shadow fearfully.
He felt sonic stop his attentions and tense up, "Shadow are you asking that we sleep together...as in have sex?" his voice asked.
"I prefer the term make love but yes that's what im asking" said shadow.
He felt sonics hesitation then the blue hedgehog began to shuffle around trying to get in front of shadow, the dark hedgehog quickly changed sonics position holding in his arms as sonic looked up at him in confusion.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to..." he heisitated to answer.
"To what?" asked shadow leaning closer to his love.
"...to regret it...or be disapointed" he whispered.
Shadow swiftly kissed his lover groaning as his body began to burn with want as sonics arms curled round his neck and the speedsters lips melded with his.
"never sonic, I have no idea what sex is like but I-I know that it must be the best thing on earth if I get to share it with you" he answered earnestly.
Sonic eyes clouded with tears as he nuzzled shadows neck kissing the soft fur there.
"Then lets go to bed" he whispered shaking in both fear and excitement.
Shadow nodded as they made their way to the dorms, they both smiled as they saw Manic passed out on the living room couch but quickly made their way to sonics room.
They stopped outside Sonics room both feeling the incrediable nervousness and excitement of what they were gonna do.
'im going to make love to sonic, im going to do it well so theres nothing to worry about' thought shadow trying not to panic.
"could you put me down please?" whispered sonic nervously, the dark hedgehog gently lowered his love to the floor as sonic sighed and gave a small shiver.
He opened the door to his bedroom and stepping in the doorway motioned for shadow to enter.
Shadow walked in inquesitively, he wondered round the room examining the speedsters belongings.
The walls were painted a light blue with white borders on the edges and at the roof was also painted white.
A thick cream carpet covered the floor and shadow was filled with the impulse to tear his shoes off just so he could feel it, 'ill be able to soon though' he thought in trepidation.
A small mirror wardraobe was on the right wall which gave a perfect refelction of the bed itself, 'oh the possibiltys' thought shadow lustfully.
The bed itself was pretty big easily able to accommodate two hedgehogs, the covers were a dark blue with black and white strips moving over it in a criss-crossing pattern.
Their was a bed-side table with a lamp with a few photo stands, they all were pictures of sonic and his siblings.
"What do you think?" asked sonic nervously fidgiting from his place at the doorway.
"Its cute" shadow said smiling at sonic, he walked over to his love closing the door and trapping them both in the room.
"shadow..."whispered sonic as the dark hedgehog gently took him into his arms, he held his shaking love as he kissed his head tendarly.
"Im not going to hurt you sonic, I promise" shadow whispered hopeing it was the right thing to say, it must have been as sonic relaxed and leaned back smiling into shadows demonic eyes.
'oh can someone so demonic be such an angel inside?' wondered sonic as he saw the love and affection in those ruby orbs.
(authors note: WARNING M/M YAOI SEX SCENE COMING UP NOW!!)
"Make love to me shadow, before I lose my nerve and run...I don't want to run anymore" he whispered.
Shadow bent down eagerly claiming sonics lips, they both moaned at the exquisite feeling as there hands ran over their bodies.
Sonic hissed as shadows cloths keep getting in the way, he wanted be touch shadows skin and fur.
Shadow chuckled in amusement as sonic gave a grunt of irriatation as he tried to pull the coat of, shadow pulled back out of sonics embrace smiling at the blue hedgehogs longing gaze.
"Allow me" he whispered as he slowly and teasingly pulled off his coat exposing his thin muscular chest, his hands went to his jeans as he slid them of his eyes never leaving sonics.
Those emerald eyes were almost black with desire, his pupils expanding to drink in the sight of his love.
He threw away his clothes as he went to peel his gloves off, sonic swiftly steped forward and took his hands.
"Allow me" he whispered smiling at shadows raised eyeridge, slowly he peeled off shadows gloves kissing the soft fur of his hands as he did so, he smiled as those hands rubbed his cheeks affectionately.
'those hands can crush steel, and yet they have never once hurt me...I love you so much shadow' thought sonic as he gently pushed shadow back until the dark hedgehog was sitting on the bed.
He kneeled down kissing shadows legs smiling as the flesh quivered at the touch, his hands went to shadows shoes and pulled them off, he grinned as he lightly tickled shadows feet making the dark hedgehog laugh and pull away.
Sonic stood up looking over his love breathlessly, the ebony hedgehog was...just...so...beautiful.
Shadow blushed at the dazed look on sonics face, he waved his hand in front of the blue hedgehogs face making sonic jump in surprise.
"Like what you see?" asked shadow as he stretched out on the bed enjoying its softness.
'I love what I see, I want what I see' thought sonic in his lust filled mind, he growled as he crawled over shadow and immediatnly attacked the dark hedgehogs lips swallowing shadows gasp of surprise.
Shadows hands shot round sonics thin waist pulling the blue hedgehog flush against his body, he snarled as the hedgehogs clothing prevented him from reaching his fur, with a few tearing and pulling sonics shirt was torn to shreds.
The cobalt hedgehog didn't even notice, too focused on the gorgoeus hedgehog beneath him to wonder what happened to his clothes.
Shadow suddenly flipped them over forcing a cry of surprise out of sonics lips as shadow lay on top of the blue hedgehog, shadows grin was truly diabolic as he smashed his lips into sonics his tongue entering sonics mouth to greet and dance with sonics own.
Sonics hands ran over shadows body absolutely loving the feel of the hedgehogs muscles jumping and twitching at his touch.
Shadows head snapped back a scream of pleasure forcing its way out of his mouth as sonics hands rubbed his groin, his eyes slammed shut as he moaned at the incrediable feeling.
Sonic looked down gasping in delight as he drank in the sight of shadows member, long and hard it was a dark fleshy black which made sonics hands highly visable as his fingers ran up and down over it, torturing the sensitive organ.
Shadow hissed as he sat back and pulled sonic on to his lap, the cobalt hedgehog squeaked as his legs wrapped round shadows waist anchoring him to the dark hedgehog.
Shadow kissed sonic again his hunger growing as he rocked against sonic, he hissed while sonic whimpered as their members both touched each other, the long peach member of sonic meekly rubbing against shadows which like its owner dominated the other, as it pressed itself against the quivering organ of its partner.
One of shadows hands began a downwards journey rubbing sonics stomach soothingly as shadows long, dark fingers closed gently round sonics shaking member.
"OOOHH!" sonic moaned as he threw his head back his eyelids fluttering as he shudddered under shadows attentions.
"Do you like that?" whispered shadow as his eyes bored into sonics misty ones, the cobalt hedgehog nodded breathelessly as he whimpered as shadows motions speeded up.
"Im the one doing this sonic, how does it feel being under my control like this? Im the only one who can give you release...what do you feel about that?" shadows voice whispered seductively into sonics ears.
"I love it" sonics answered his eyes filling with tears as his whole body began to shake with pleasure.
"then come for me my love...show me how much you love this" shadow hissed as he kissed sonic ferociusly biting his lips carefully, the pain mixing with the pleasure making sonics member jerk in shadows hands but the dark hedgehog was careful not to make sonic bleed.
'shadow...shadow' sonics thoughts were a whirlwind of chemical coktails as his member swelled its release imminant, he couldn't think clearly all that he could do was move on instinct.
The smell of shadows spicy breath made him want to beg for more, the soft fur tickling his body and the hand rubbing his chest made him want to scream.
And the hand that was lovingly careesingly his most sensitive place made him want to explode!
Sonic screamed as his member surrendered to shadows fingers and unleashed its seed, the milky liquid flowing between their bodys as shadow kissed his lover swallowing his yells of exctasy.
Sonics shudderes finally stopped as he shivered weakly in the protective embrace of his lover, his breath was came in pants as he nuzzled into shadows neck.
"that was...amazing..." he whispered making shadow flush at the praise despite himself.
He kissed his loves head trying to ignore the persistance throbbing of his member, he would not force sonic to continue especially considering how tired he was.
'we can continue tommorow' thought shadow slightly disappointed as he kissed sonics head.
"you need to rest love" whispered shadow as he made to lay sonic down, the blue hedgehog didn't move for a moment before he launched himself at shadow, the dark hedgehog gasped in surprise as sonics kissed him hungrily his tongue demanding entrance to his mouth.
Shadow pulled away with a scream as sonics hand returned to his member rubbing and careesing the throbbing organ.
Shadow looked up into sonics dark eyes shivering at the evil smile he had.
"We're not finished shadow...we've got all night to play" he whispered as he claimed the ultimate lifeforms lips.
9:00am the hedgehogs base- the living room.
Manic groaned as he tried to sit up, his arms shook as he put his weight on them before collasping in defeat, he grunted in agony as his head felt like Robotnik had sat on it.
He glared at the medicine cabinet in the kitchen, he needed painkillers now but his arms were too weak to support him...annd all because his legs didn't seem to work!
"I hate alcohol" he muttered as he rolled onto his back staring at the large T.V on the wall, he wondered if shadow once lay here in this exact position watching T.V?
'probaly not as the dirty fucker is immune to alcohol unlike us mere mortals' he thought in irriatation.
He decided to watch T.V until his limbs worked again and thus made a few weak grabs at that the remote that was about an inch out of his reach, all he had to do was lean over and he could reach it.
'fuck that, way too much effort...I know ill command the T.V to turn on with the power of my mind!' he thought gleefully as he squinted at the T.V.
"the power of Manic compells you, the power of manic compells you!" he chanted.
That was when the T.V turned on and manic blinked at the stern face of his Uncle.
'couldn't I have picked a better channel?'
"Manic im glad your up, I've been trying to contact one of you for hours" malagner said in annoyance.
"Wassup unc, me and the guys just been out partying and all that...you know fun stuff" said manic through his dry throat.
Malagner raised an eyeridge at Manics dirty clotheing, wet fur and dark eyes and if he squinted the lack of saliva in his mouth he guessed he and the others had been drinking a lot!
He shook his head fixing his Monocal on his eye, "Manic lisern I've got something important to tell you that cannot wait"
Manic continued to try and sit up, his ears turned towards Malagner.
"we've found the remaining emerald" he said solemly.
"That's great! Now we got five and metals only got two" said manic happily as he finally sat up.
"No manic, metal has that emerald not us" malagner said sadly.
"Shit...well we still have four so that's not too bad I guess" Manic muttered.
"someone we know had the emerald on them when she was captured, someone very important to you" said Malagner nervously.
"Whos that?" asked Manic as he began to count the girls he knew in his head.
"...your mother"
Manic froze as he stared at the sad but truthful face of Malagner, his mother was in the hand sof Robotnik!?
"Fuck!"

Chapter 7: A moment of peace
Night had fallen on great forest by the time the group of mobians that rested in the cyclone mark 5 returned to their home.
The wildlife was silent as all of nature's creatures rested praying that a hunter of the night didn't find them.
Knuckles violet eyes tried to see everything at once as he leaned out of the open door, his dreadlocks swung behind him as he breathed in the foreign scents and listened to alien calls.
It was all so new, nature herself was changed from what he was used to and his brain had trouble trying to absorb all these new stimuli at once.
Growing bored he stalked back inside eyeing the two hedgehogs that lay curled up together in a black and blue ball.
The dark one had his arms protectively round his smaller lovers waist and was nuzzling him in his sleep, the blue hedgehog responded by pushing back against the other hedgehog trying to maximise their contact.
He leaned down watching in fascination as the dark one laid his lips on his lover, the blue one kissed back despite being asleep and soon the two where sharing breath again.
'Why do they do that? Does the blue one require oxygen from the dark one? No he was breathing just fine earlier...is he feeding him?' knuckles looked closer and saw no passing of food between the two but they were touching each with their tongues, it looked somewhat like a dance between two snakes in mating season.
Still confused and getting nervous at the strange looks the young bushy tailed creature at the front of the metal cave was throwing him by his investigations, he decided to investigate the others.
The green hedgehog with the thin dreadlocks was dozing noisily, his snores grated on knuckles hearing and he glared irritably at the oblivious hedgehog.
He wondered why the hedgehog's dreadlocks were so small; they could not catch the necessary wind currents to allow him to glide. Maybe he was a runt and did not grow sufficiently long dreadlocks?
He frowned at the strange animal hides that the hedgehog wore, what was the purpose of this fabric? Surely his fur is enough to keep him warm?
Shaking his head knuckles went over to the front of the helicopter ignoring the younglings flinch as he stepped near.
Tails yawned and hastily rubbed the sleep from his eyes as he looked up at knuckles.
"Hi my names tails...um what's yours?" asked the youngling sleepily.
Knuckles pointed at his spikes, tails nodded in understanding.
"So how did you meet the others?"
Knuckles looked around for something to write on, he looked at the gleaming metal floor...that metal didn't look too thick.
Tails realised what he was doing and quickly stopped him.
"No! Sorry but the cyclones not designed to have someone use it as a writing board!" the young fox looked around then pressing a few buttons on the controls he let go of the control stick, knuckles hissed as the helicopter lurched then quickly righted itself.
"Autopilot engaged," said a soft feminine voice.
Knuckles head span round as he tried to identify the speaker, it wasn't Sonia as her voice was more husky though still soft.
Tails sniggered, "It's the computer knuckles, there's nobody here" he explained as knuckles tried to understand what a 'computer' was, some kind of spirit perhaps?
Tails jumped off his seat and went to a small cupboard on the other side of the cockpit; he pulled a strange pad of white sheets and a carved stick.
"Here's something for you to write with" said tails happily as he handed knuckles the objects.
Knuckles held them in confusion for a moment before he brought the pad to his nose, he sniffed cautiously before ripping off a page and chewing on it.
'Not too bad, very dry though' he mused.
Tails sweatdropped, "Um...your supposed to write on it not eat it," he said embarrassed.
Knuckles swallowed and then eyed the pad; his spikes would just go right through?
"Using the pen!" said tails quickly when knuckles raised his fist.
"Here let me show you" tails took the pencil and paper and wrote his name on it, then wrote knuckles on it.
"See you can use the pencil to write what you want to say on it, then hand the paper to whoever your talking to" explained Tails.
Knuckles nodded then began writing, it was difficult with his huge hands and the tiny pencil but he got there, he handed the paper to tails.
'Thank you for this tails, as to you first question I met Sonia first after saving her from two metal monsters'
"So what did you two get up to?" asked tails interested, Knuckles frowned and wrote again.
'I climbed a tree to get food, Sonia did not climb anything on account that see was tied up'
Tails giggled, knuckles cocked his head at the strange noise.
"No I meant what did you two do together while you were alone?" he asked once he stopped giggling.
Knuckles eyes narrowed as a faint blush tinged his cheeks, he was grateful for his red fur as it disguised it rather well, he wrote again.
'That is not for you to know'
With that he walked back into the main room with tails frowning at his back, the young fox shrugged then went back to the controls giving another yawn as he went back to steering.
Knuckles observed Sonia from the corner of his eyes; the female hedgehog was lying across a metal log that was fixed to the wall of the 'helicopter', her eyes were closed as she slept in peace, her lips slightly pouting as she breathed quietly.
Knuckles shook his head as those strange feelings threatened to overcome him again.
He noticed Sonia was shivering in her sleep and knuckles glared in accusation at the cool wind that came from the open doorway, it could not be closed so the cold air was sweeping in freezing his friend.
'Friend...Sonia said I was hers though I still don't understand what it means' mused knuckles idly.
Knuckles looked around and saw a thick animal hide tied to a shelve on the wall.
He tore it free and opened it up inquisitively; the hide was a dark green and very thick and seemed to radiate heat.
Carefully knuckles lay the hide over Sonia tucking it into the corners to prevent heat loss, he felt gratified when Sonias shaking stopped and she snuggled into the blanket.
Knuckles watched her for a moment as he stood over like some mighty sentinel.
Her lips had quirked into a small smile as her eyelashes fluttered, a hair from her fringe had fallen on her eye and she was blinking to get rid of it, unsuccessful she gently began to shake her head giving small mumbles of discomfort.
Moving swiftly knuckles gently moved the hair out of her eyes placing it back into its normal puff of spikes.
'So soft'
Hesitantly knuckles reached out for her hair and tenderly ran his hand over it, he marvelled at the softness as he combed his fingers through it.
Sonia tilted her head back unconsciously to allow more contact and after a small argument with himself knuckles complied, running his hand through her hair as gently as he could.
His eyes never left her face as he watched in fascination as she smiled and her body relaxed completely, for a creature that had never let his guard down in his whole life it was quite astonishing to see.
He felt jubilation that Sonia felt safe enough round him to relax despite their rough first meeting, but she was asleep so she probably didn't realise what she was doing.
Giving a small yawn knuckles considered whether or not he should sleep, it was late and the strange metal device that Sonia had called a 'clock' said that they had 2 more hours until they reached Sonias home...it couldn't hurt to rest for thirty minutes or so...
Knuckles sat down and rested against the blanket hanging off Sonias resting-place, he leaned back and began to twist his head about trying to find a comfortable place to lay it.
His head meet something soft and warm under the blanket and knuckles blinked as he moved slightly to test it...it moved back against him.
He realised it was Sonias thigh, he thought of moving away to try and find another comfortable spot but sleep pressed down on his will and giving a small sigh knuckles resting fully on Sonia who didn't move to stop him.
He breathed in the musky feminine scent and the smell of sweet flowers her body wafted into the air and smiled softly as he fell asleep.
He never had such a good sleep as he was about to have, and also to his chagrin he wont awake for another two and half-hours.
Sonics ears twitched as he heard bird calls and voices talking around him, he could feel warm sunlight on his body and decided that dawn must have broke and it was time to get up.
'To hell with that I'm happy where I am!' thought sonic as he breathed in his lovers scent and relaxed in shadows arms.
Sonic mumbled a 'go away!' as something tried to shake him awake, he groaned as he buried his head into the soft fur of shadows shoulder, the hand ceased its actions for a moment and sonic gradually went back to sleep.
"WAKE UP SONIC!!!"
Sonic screamed and jumped up in surprise and fear, his head snapped round in confusion as shadow blinked up at him from his position on the floor.
He looked round and saw what woke him up, he snarled at Manics cheeky grin.
His green-furred brother was unsuccessfully trying to hide a megaphone behind his back but as the thing was huge noted sonic angrily it was still jutting out behind Manics spikes.
"Sleep well?" asked manic innocently.
"DIE!" roared sonic as he speared his brother sending both of them toppling to the floor where sonic began pummel him mercilessly.
Shadow sat up yawning warily; he stretched his limbs groaning as the kinks worked out of them.
He stood up hopping a bit to get his legs working as sonic and manic rolled across the floor swearing and punching each other.
Shadow eyed the two of them for a moment wincing when sonic bit manics arm and in retaliation manic slammed his fist in Sonics jaw.
Shadow rubbed his face tiredly, 'I need some coffee' he thought miserably.
He walked over sonic and stepped on manic ("hey!") to enter the cockpit, tails was asleep at the controls and shadow felt a moment of panic before he looked out of the window.
The plane had landed at the siblings base and they were in the clearing where they met tails yesterday, the sun was shining making the greenery of the forest glow with an almost ethereal light that brought a smile to shadows lips.
Tails gave a small shuffle as he curled up into a ball in his seat; he was even sucking his thumb.
'Good work little guy' thought shadow affectionately as he gave tails head-ruff a friendly pat.
He heard two loud bangs and sonic and Manics groaning, he stepped out already half-realising what had happened.
Yep sonic and Manic were both half-comatose on the floor with a large bruise on both their heads, manic was having trouble focusing and sonic was glaring angrily at his smirking sister.
"Dammit Sonia he started it!"
"And I'm finishing it, now shut up and lets get inside" she replied as she pulled Manic to his feet.
Shadow crept behind sonic and wrapped his arms round his lover's waist as he kissed the top of his head close to the bruise.
"Just a bit to the right" moaned sonic as he tilted his head back with a smile.
Shadow chuckled and kissed the bruise tenderly, he gently turned his cobalt lover and lifting his chin kissed his lips hungrily, sonic blushed realising Sonia and Manic were probably watching but he was beyond caring at this point.
Shadow pulled back and grinned at his dazed lover; he glanced at Sonics siblings from the corner of his eyes.
Sonia was smiling at them while Manic was grinning madly, he noticed shadows staring and made gagging notions.
This time both sonic and Sonia smacked him.
"OW! Hey I was just joking!" he defended.
"Listen how about we get into the base so I can get some coffee and have a rest for hopefully a whole day... and I really think Tails should be allowed to have a good sleep seeing as he was awake all night" said shadow irritably.
The others glanced at the fox cub, who was still asleep on his seat snoring cutely, Manic sighed and walked over to the young fox cub.
To everyone's surprise the green rockster gently picked up tails and cradled the smaller fox in his arms as he carried him off to the base.
"Whu-whats going on...Manic?" murmured tails sleepily as he looked up at Manic blearily.
"Go back to sleep little buddy, you're crashing at our place tonight for as long as you like"
"Are you sure? I don't want to annoy you"
"No way little guy! Laughed Manic, you did good back at the island and your gonna get somewhere peaceful and quiet to sleep, you can even have some fried breakfast if Sonics cooking doesn't kill you" Manic joked.
"I resent that!" yelled Sonic.
Manic chuckled and continued to quietly talk to his new friend as he walked towards the hideout.
The remaining hedgehogs were silent for a moment as they contemplated Manics closeness to the young fox.
"Well its good to see how good those two are getting along" said sonic happy for his brother.
"Tails is a sweet young fox, he'll be good for manic" said Shadow.
Sonia and sonic eyed him, "Just what is that supposed to mean?" asked Sonia suspiciously.
Shadow raised an eyeridge, "Exactly what I said that those two will become great friends" he answered calmly.
"You weren't implying that those two...could...you know?" said Sonia nervously.
"Get together? Become gay? Have sex with one another? No I don't" answered Shadow.
Sonic shook his head, "Look guys can we just go inside and put our feet up and eat chilli dogs ok?" said sonic beseechingly.
"Very well, Sonia where is knuckles by the way?" asked shadow.
"He's asleep," she said.
"Yeah we guessed that but where?" asked sonic.
"Well in the helicopter where else?" she said nervously.
"Sonia, your stalling, where is he?" asked shadow firmly.
"He's sleeping on my, well...I mean he sleep with me-in my bed! I mean not with me..." she stuttered.
Shadow blinked while sonic stared at sonia with his jaw wide-open.
"I guess you really dig red huh sis?" teased sonic.
He ducked when sonia lashed out with a right hook blushing furiously; he hopped out of her range grinning widely.
Shadow sniggered but wisely shut up when sonia glared at him.
He coughed then smiled at sonia, "Well sonia me and sonic will be waiting for you and the guardian in the base...I'm pleased you like him so much, I think you've made a good choice" he praised.
Sonia smirked at him," you like him too shadow?" sonic glared at her then looked at shadow trying to fake aloofness.
'Thanks sonia' "No I'm not a fan of red myself, he smiled at sonic, blue is much better" sonic smiled shyly back as shadow took his hand and lead him back to the hideout.
Sonia shook her head laughing quietly to herself, with a deep breath she stepped back inside the plane walking quietly into the corner where next to the two chairs that made her bed a lump of blankets rested at the base of them.
She noticed the lump under the covers hadn't moved and she gently pulled them aside to expose the creature beneath.
Knuckles the echidna was curled in a ball sleeping on the floor, sonia frowned at the frightened look on his face, he shivered and flinched in his sleep his face twisted into a visage of pain.
'Nightmares' thought sonia sadly.
(Flashback- last night)
Sonia grumbled as a strange whimpering brought her back into reality, she warily opened her eyes blinking out the sleep and squinting to see in the darkness.
She was still in the helicopter and it was night, how long had she been asleep?
She sat up and looked around for the strange noise, it sounded like...crying?
A gargled hiss made her head snap to the floor to see knuckles curled on the floor near her chairs, the echidna was mumbling and hissing in his sleep and even swiping out against unseen enemies.
She glanced at the cockpit seeing tails shaking his head and singing to himself, it sounded like heavy rock and as such the young fox was oblivious to any other noise then his music.
With a sigh sonia crouched down and gently reached out for the distressed echidna, she lightly ran her hands over his dreadlocks trying to soothe him.
This lasted for about three seconds before Sonias hand was grasped painfully by knuckles and she was thrown onto her back, the echidna hissed at her his fists raised in warning, sonia saw through frightened eyes that knuckles eyes were glassed and unfocused, he was still asleep.
"I'm not your enemy knuckles, I'm your friend" she whispered soothingly to the confused creature, she slowly reached out and cradled knuckles cheek as he hissed at it.
She began to gentle stroke him while humming a soothing tune, the grip on her hand lessened and knuckles shoulders began to slump as he fell back into his deep sleep.
Sonia looked around nervously as knuckles rested on her his head nuzzling her shoulder as he gave a small sigh of comfort.
Relieved no one had seen sonia went to lay knuckles down and get back onto her bench but the echidna clung to her like a scared child and made small whimpers of discomfort.
'Dammit why'd you have to do that'
With a sigh of surrender sonia reached for the blankets and wrapped them round herself and the sleeping echidna as she lay back against the cool metal floor.
She lay looking at the roof as she tried to fight the blush her close proximity to the echidna created, she looked down seeing that knuckles was draped half-over her with his head resting on her stomach as he smiled softly.
Sonia couldn't stop the feeling of contentment this position gave her as she absentmindedly stroked the echidnas head, unlike before knuckles did not flinch and gave a small mumble of happiness as she played with the soft red fur.
She stared up at the ceiling wondering in amazement how this wretched creature became so important to her, in just a matter of hours she had nearly kissed him, nearly touched him in a very sexual manner!
I don't believe in love at first site...but what else could it be? Wondered sonia.
She looked down again at the sleeping guardian and smiled at the cute little smile he had, she rubbed her eyes as sleep pressed on her again.
"Sweet dreams Knuckles" she whispered as she lay her head on knuckles shoulders.
(Back to present)
She slowly reached out to touch him; he tensed when her hand touched his dreadlocks, for a moment he was still allowing her to touch him them again he lashed out, sonia was ready and stepped aside as the echidna sailed past her and fell to the floor, the echidna sat up his head snapping round in confusion and he rubbed his eyes sleepily.
He finally noticed sonia and relaxed as he blearily got to his feet, he eyed her in confusion as he looked round for the others.
"They've all gone inside, we're home" she answered.
Knuckles nodded before his face light up with happiness as he rushed over to the blankets, Sonia watched in confusion as the echidna shuffled around the covers before pulling a pad of paper and a pencil from underneath.
He wrote furtively for a few moments before ripping off a page and handing it to Sonia.
'Thank you Sonia for caring for me especially with my home gone, I know that you are capable of defending yourself but after hearing your tale of Robotnik and his cruel rule of the surface and seeing for myself what he is capable of I have decided to join you in your fight against him, but I will take orders from no'one except you and even then only if I find them reasonable, as a further note I would be honoured to be your guardian as well as my emeralds princess Sonia'
Sonia smiled as she read the last bit although raised in luxury she was rarely called a princess and the idea of having a champion especially a worthy one was intriguing.
"I accept you into the ranks of the freedom fighters knuckles the echidna, but I am afraid I have no need of a personal guardian" she smiled at his crestfallen look but noted with respect that he accepted her decision and stood to attention, "however...I could always do with more friends?" she said timidly.
Knuckles smile returned and Sonia felt her heart beat faster at the beautiful sight.
Knuckles wrote again and handed her another page with a gentle smile, 'then I am honoured to be considered your friend Sonia'.
Sonia grinned happily and waved for knuckles to follow her as she jumped out of the helicopter feeling the grass crumple under her feet.
The echidna followed except kept himself semi-crouched as his eyes snapped round and he sniffed the air, his whole body language spoke defensive as he cautiously followed the amused Hedgehog.
Giving a sigh of irritation at his nervousness Sonia pulled Knuckles upright and took his hand as she practically dragged him to the base, the echidna almost pulled away but slowly relaxed into the strange sensation of being held, he followed his beautiful princess feeling the urge to protect her more fiercely then before.
'She's so beautiful both inside and out, I cannot believe how much I care for her nor that she even cares for a wasted creature like me...I promise I will never break her trust' swore knuckles to himself mentally.
The two walked through the forest just enjoying the feeling of being together as the entered the secret base.
Knuckles again entered cautiously as he breathed in the many scents of the place, more metal constructs dotted the large metal plateau that they had entered and knuckles wrinkled his nose at the smell of oil and chemicals around the room.
"This is the garage, we keep our vehicles and tools here." She pointed at a large rounded object that was worn and rusted and hovered a few centimetres above the floor, "That's our hover van, it's a beaten old bucket but that baby's got us through some tough scrapes" she said affectionately.
Knuckles just continued to eye the 'hovervan' this strange 'technology' was not to his tastes, it lacked the smells and feel of one of nature's constructs.
The entered the hallways and knuckles was reminded of the caves and caverns of his old home, it was similar but with metal instead of natures rocks and earth.
'Get used to it guardian, angel island is gone and this is my home now' despite this reasoning his heart was in pain at the loss of his home.
He smiled as sonia explained about the lights and this energy called 'electricity'.
'Thank chaos Sonia is here...I couldn't take this pain without her'
They entered the living room and noticed Manic was busy in the kitchen with Shadow and Sonic sitting together on one of the couches.
Knuckles knew it was wrong to enter another creature's territory but Sonias urging dispelled this instinct, she led him over to one of the couches and sat him down.
"Ok rest here for a sec ok and I'm gonna try and get my brother to share his food with the rest of us" said Sonia soothingly as knuckles fidgeted.
"More like force him to sis" said sonic cheekily.
Sonia smirked and walked off to talk to Manic.
Knuckles ignored the two hedgehogs lying opposite him and instead focused on the material of the 'couch' he was sitting on, it was quite soft to the touch and knuckles snuggled back into it.
Although to the hedgehogs he acted like they didn't exist inside he was shaking with nervousness, conversations was a thing he didn't do even when he could talk all it had been is 'stranger, kill' no talking except a simple 'leave or die' to his adversary.
Although the hedgehogs weren't gonna let him get away that easily.
"So how are you finding things here so far Knuckles?" asked sonic as he eyed knuckles unconscious fidgeting.
The echidna shrugged gaining an amused look from the speedster.
"How old are you guardian?" asked shadow smoothly, Sonics look of 'why did you ask that?' was ignored.
He wanted to know due to the fact everyone here was younger then him, shadow himself was eighteen years of age while sonic and his siblings where only sixteen, he wondered how much of a difference there was between this knuckles and the one from his reality.
Knuckles frowned and considered not answering...but then again what did it matter how old he was?
He wrote again on his paper and handed it to the dark hedgehog.
'I am 5218 risings of the sun old'
Sonics look was comical as his face scrunched up in confusion as he tried to do the calculations in his head.
"You are fourteen years old" answered shadow, the maths easy for one with a mind like his.
The echidna shrugged and sonic sat up in confusion, "wait does that mean you've been on that island for fourteen years?"
Knuckles nodded.
"But aren't there any other echidnas? Don't you have some friends who came to visit?" pressed sonic in amazement.
Knuckles was feeling uncomfortable but gave a meek shake of his head.
"What about your parents? Isn't there a note or a message to explain why they aren't with you?" shadow shook his head at Sonics questioning, although not meant offensive he could see what he was doing to the echidna.
Knuckles remained silent his eyes unfocused as Sonics words meant in sympathy and sadness cut into him.
'Why was there no note? The glyphs and runes in the ruins of the sky and the shrine depict my races exploits but nothing about me? Did they abandon me? Was I unwanted even at the moment of my birth?'
Knuckles sprang up in anger his fists clenched and his eyes blazing, he quickly scribbled something on the pad and practically threw it at sonic.
The two hedgehogs watched as the echidna stormed off ignoring Sonias words of worry, Knuckles left the room heading towards the sleeping quarters.
"Did I do something wrong?" asked sonic meekly.
"Sonic I love you dearly but sometimes you need to think about what you say" said shadow as he pulled the paper sheet off his quills.
'I do not know' it read.
Shadow sighed as sonic gave a small curse at his own foolishness, they both looked up as a shadow fell across them and gulped in fear.
"What did you say to him!?" said sonia her voice quiet but highly dangerous.
"I asked him about his family...he said he didn't have any" whispered sonic.
"Well of course he doesn't have any! Dammit sonic didn't you realise that from what shadow told us?" said Sonia in anger as she ran after her friend.
Sonics shoulders slumped in sadness and his ears flattened against his head, shadows heart ached seeing his mate so upset, he pulled him back against his chest and gently kissed his ears.
Sonics half-heartingly pushed shadow away, "Don't...I'm an idiot...I don't deserve a kiss" he muttered sadly.
"You're my idiot and I love you that way, besides what the ultimate life wants it gets and you 'kiss' are 'lick' mine! 'Kiss'" shadow said nuzzling his lovers sweet-smelling fur.
Sonic blushed and smiled shyly at his love, "Am I?"
Shadow claimed his love lips pushing him gently onto the couch as he showed him how much he loved him, their hands roamed each other's bodies and sonic moaned pleasurably.
"AHEM!"
The two stopped and looked up seeing Manic tapping his foot with his head averted, "Guys grubs up so can you at least eat the breakfast ive slaved over making for you guys then go and make out preferably in private?" he said nervously.
Shadow glared at Manic, maybe if he knocked him out he could at last do what he had wanted to do to his love since he first saw him all those days ago.
Sonic sat up his blue fur a bright purple as he smiled at his brother, "Sorry Manic, so where's this breakfast I'm starving!"
Manic and sonic sat at the kitchen table as shadow rubbed his head trying to erase the headache that was growing.
'Cant I have him without someone watching at least once?'
Wearily he walked over to the kitchen and at Sonics urging or pleading ate Manics prepared breakfast of fried goodness aka sausages, eggs and bacon.
Was pretty good though.
Knuckles smashed his fist into the nearest wall making two sharp punctures in the metal corridor, he hissed as his blood boiled in anger and sadness at Sonics questions.
He was not angry at the hedgehog but at what the answers to those questions were, he had never known his parents and for the first few years of his live he had often screamed into the night for them, he had never lost hope that one day they would return but as the years went he lost that hope.
He had grown up hard and fast, the first intruder was a vicious coyote and he had almost been killed when he had first protected the emerald, ever since that day he never called his parents again, he was now the guardian and he could not be weak.
But the wound had not healed and Sonics questions had tore it open to pump blood from it more painfully then any real wound could.
He entered the nearest dark room ducking down into a dark corner; he sat against a wall with his dreadlocks covering his face and his hands in his lap.
He rubbed his eyes snarling in frustration as his tears continued to flow from his eyes no matter how hard he rubbed them, giving a grunt of anger he shot to his feet and began to pace around the room.
'Why did they leave me!? Surely it would have been better to leave a message, at least some kind of guidance on how to protect the emerald?'
Knuckles had studied the ancients texts and tomes of his ancestors, strangely very few where on history or culture and more on the martial arts and the powers of chaos.
Still knuckles had learned all he could and over his short life had quickly become an impressive fighter, though not without great cost.
Knuckles rubbed his neck sadly as the memory of the coyote came back to him, he was lucky to have survived that first encounter as well as actually win, his very first opponent was no weak thief but a skilled killer.
'But I was victorious, and ever since then ive had my destiny to fall back on'
Knuckles eyed the satchel hanging from his shoulders and squeezed it feeling the reassuring hardness of the master emerald, although his home was gone knuckles still had his destiny.
Taking a calming breath knuckles froze as a familiar sweet scent wafted into his nostrils and sending his brain into overdrive.
'Sonia'
He whirled round but the hedgehog was not in the room, he sniffed around following an invisible scent trail of Sonias sweetness to the centre of the room.
He jumped back as his legs bumped into something and squinting in the darkness he saw a strange rectangular shape in the darkness.
Cautiously he reached out and touched it; he frowned at the softness of the material and its unlifelike coldness.
The material was a clean white similar to a the feathers of some of the birds on his island, in the corners and round the borders a swirling purple pattern resembling waves danced and flowed over the fabric.
It was another animal skin though covered with the mind-numbing scent of Sonia, knuckles crawled on top blinking in confusion as the object gave to allow him to sink in enough for comfort, yet kept its structure to suffiencently to carry him.
Nervously knuckles lay on the hide giving a moan of pleasure as he rested on the soft material, he stretched out feeling his muscles squeal in bliss and his bones sigh in peace.
He lay there for what seemed an eternity as the soft sheets warmed by his body and the sweet scent of his friend began to coax him into sleep.
'Knuckles you idiot you are breaking one of natures rules!' screamed his mind.
Knuckles eyes snapped open, he was in Sonias territory resting on HER sleeping area and slowly forcing his scent to replace hers.
He jumped to his feet bouncing on the bed and jumped off looking round wildly in fear sonia would appear out of thin air and be mad at him.
He stopped as a strange image greeted his eyes; a small shiny rectangular object was resting on a small log next to the bed.
He reached for it inquisitively and pulled it to his face drinking in the image.
It was three hedgehogs that beared an amazing resemblance to Sonia and her brothers, indeed they looked almost exactly like them yet they were small and appeared deformed with their limbs out of proportion of the body and the female had no breasts or curves, that knuckles had come to grow strangely attracted to in Sonia.
Also was another female hedgehog of the correct proportions, she was holding the three small hedgehogs and had a loving smile on her face.
Knuckles cocked his head to the side as he studied her, she looked like sonia yet was older and did not have the same hair, she also was wearing far more coloured rocks then sonia and a large metal ring round her head.
"She's our mother" whispered the soft voice of Sonia.
Knuckles looked over his shoulder seeing the tall figure of Sonia standing in the doorway, her green eyes were staring intently at him and knuckles quickly looked away in embarrassment.
He continued to observe this 'mother' she did look a lot like Sonia...or was it the other way round?
He felt the air move against his fur as Sonia stepped next to him, he ignored her as she looked over his shoulder brushing a dreadlock out of the way to see the picture, the echidna was unable to hold back his shiver.
"That was taken just when we were born, we all have a copy in our rooms" she whispered as she stared in sadness at her unknown mother, what was she like the young princess wondered, would she still love us even now despite all our flaws?
Knuckles pointed at the small purple furred hedgehog in the mother's lap, his confused look deepened with Sonias nervous chuckles.
"Yes thats me, I was pretty bratty back then, my foster parents had a lot of trouble raising me" she said embarrassed.
'They did a good job' thought knuckles.
Sonia reached for the picture and the echidna gladly parted with it, she walked over to the bed holding the picture tightly with both hands as she swam in her own thoughts.
She hugged the picture to her chest as she sat on the bed closing her eyes to stop the tears; they looked so happy back then...she wished that they could still be that way in her darker moments.
A soft touch soothed her cheek and she opened her eyes to see the echidna she had come to care for kneeling before her tenderly wiping the tears from her eyes.
She gave a teary smile and pushed against his hand, she felt him tremble then hesitantly rub her wet cheek.
She half opened her eyes gazing into his violet ones as he stared back at her in silent questioning, growing bold she reached up and gently reached to touch his face.
His eyes widened in panic and he pulled back swiftly jumping to his feet and stepping away from her, his eyes were fixed on the floor as he fidgeted with his hands.
Sonia sighed and let her hands fall to her lap, she really needed to work on this fear of touch if she wanted to get anywhere with him, she smirked at the challenge but knew not to push her new found obsession to far to soon.
"Knuckles" the echidna nervously met her eyes, "Come sit with me, we need to talk" she said patting the spot next to her.
The echidna grudgingly complied and sat next to the purple hedgehog as she put the photo back on the desk.
"Ok first sonic is really sorry for what he did, he never meant to upset you knuckles" she said.
Knuckles nodded, he would apologise to the hedgehog when he next saw him, another alien concept.
"And secondly I think its time to get you settled in with us" at the echidnas questioning look she smirked, oh cant wait to see the look on his face.
"You need sleeping quarters, seeing as shadow has the couch and my brothers aren't going to share, (that was a lie, if she wanted she could beat them until they agreed) so that means you will be sharing my room" she said devilishly.
The echidna blinked in astonishment before jumping to his feet and pacing around in terror, sleeping in the same room as Sonia? That couldn't work she'd keep trying to touch him and although not repulsed he was scared by all these new thoughts and feelings.
"So do you want the left side or the right" said Sonia cheekily as she laid back on the bed, she laughed at the death glare the echidna sent her but could see his internal battle not to roam his eyes over her body.
'He's gonna be a challenge but an enjoyable one' she thought wickedly as she inspected her nails.
Unknown to her Knuckles had picked up a pen and a scrap of paper from her desk and was beginning to write fiercely.
A piece of paper was flung at Sonias head and she raised an eyeridge at the fuming echidna, with a sigh she picked up the paper.
' I will sleep on the floor and you can have this 'bed', I do not know what you are trying to do Sonia but you will not succeed whatever it is!'
She looked up at the echidna who was eyeing her trophies and with a smirk got up and strolled over to him.
"I got those from a tournament in Mobodoon for martial arts, I came first place and beat the resident champion, ill take you one day you'll do great"
The echidna nodded his face hopeful at the prospect of future battles, sonia reached a hand round his shoulders and before he could object steered him towards some more trophies, he listened in rapt fascination as she explained the various athletics tournaments she had entered and the contests that took place.
By that time her arm had moved round his slim waist and was pressing his body against her own, she mentally shivered at the feel of his warm body against hers, Knuckles was oblivious to the lustful stares she sent to him as he handled one of her gold trophies.
'Oh I'm gonna enjoy this contest'
"So any secret missions today Manic, no weapons of mass destruction to find or dead scientists to meet?" asked Sonic humourly as he munched on a slice of toast, beside him shadow swallowed a slice of bacon and then turned to examine Manic.
The green hedgehog was less then pleased, "Very funny bro, I admit those missions had some problems but I would have thought you'd be able to handle it, or is this job getting too tough for you?" teased Manic.
"No 'job' is too hard for the embodiment of speed himself, (Shadow gave an irritated cough) and his partner in crime" finished sonic with a smirk.
Manic laughed at shadows indignant look, "Well guys we're lucky, we actually have a day off to relax and party...and I know the perfect place" he said with an evil grin.
'I'm not sure his idea of perfect will fit with mine' though shadow and judging by Sonics suspicious look he didn't either.
"And what is this perfect place Manic?" asked shadow after downing his coffee.
"There's a new club that's opening up in the city, its obviously only known to the underground due to Robuttniks laws but your amazing brother has managed to get VIP access to it" said Manic happily.
"What's it like there?" asked Sonic interested, he had never been to a true nightclub and the thought of introducing shadow to one was an interesting thought.
Manic shrugged, "No idea ive never been there before, its only just opened but a few of my freedom fighter friends says it's a bit unusual but its got good service and a nice atmosphere"
"What to you mean unusual?" asked shadow his suspicions growing.
"I don't know, they didn't explain but still guys it would be nice to all go out together as a family for once, he smirked at shadow, and with our boyfriends" said Manic seriously.
Sonic nodded, it would be nice for all of them to have a moment to be together as family without worrying about missions and robots.
"We could do with a breather...especially with all this hunting for the emeralds" mused sonic.
"I'm not so sure, there's still three emeralds unaccounted for that metal could be looking for right now" argued shadow.
"No worries shadow, high command says two of the emeralds are accounted for though they won't tell me where, 'top secret' ya know?" he said in irritation.
"As for the last one uncle Malagnars on the case, he'll find it soon enough and call us when he's got it" finished Manic taking a deep pull of his soda afterwards.
"Why to you call him your uncle?" asked Shadow confused.
The two brothers eyed each other before sonic cleared his throat.
"Well you see he and mum were good friends when she was still in charge, some people say they were...well 'very' close but Malagnar swears that that's just some vicious rumours made by his rivals" Said sonic nervously, shadow motioned for him to go on with a nod.
"Anyway when we were all split up it was him who kept an eye on us and made sure Robotnik never found us, once we formed Sonic underground he was the one who told us about our mother and who signed us up for the resistance" he explained.
Shadow nodded as he sat back in his chair absorbing this information, his respect for the aged walrus had certainly increased.
"So shadow...do you wanna go to the club with us, (with me)" asked sonic nervously.
Shadow smiled and taking Sonics hand gave him a small kiss on his palm, "Wouldn't miss it for the world" he said huskily as sonic smiled back brightly.
"Well now that's settled you two better get going" exclaimed manic as he threw his empty can across the room to go into the bin, it missed bearly.
"Get going where?" asked sonic as he held shadows hand with both his subconsciously.
With a growl the green hedgehog shot to his feet and stomped over to the bin, he picked up the can and threw it in muttering to himself.
He turned towards the two lovers sighing in aggravation; "You need to do some shopping dummies! You two don't have any clothes to wear for the club"
Shadow looked down at his shoes and gloves, "Manic we have fur, we don't need clothes"
Manic frowned at them, "Dudes! This is a fancy club, you need some gothic or punkish gear or you won't get in! Buy some black leather, sunglasses or chains or even get a piercing, just go and get some damn clothes!"
"Fine Manic calm down, I could do with some more shoes and gloves, Manics glare intensified, or better yet some body clothing" he said nervously.
"Do you think Sonia will want Knuckles to come too?" asked shadow as he got up wearily and put his plates and cup away.
"Probably, you better take him along too, hehe good luck with that guys" snickered manic.
"Don't you like him?" asked Sonic surprised.
Manic shook his head; "No I think he's ok I'm just a bit weary of someone who looks like he would eat me if he couldn't find any other food" joked Manic.
Shadow made his way to the sleeping quarters; "Ill go tell her, sonic ill be back in a bit ok?" shadow said over his shoulder.
Sonic nodded and then with a deep blush blew a kiss to shadow, surprised but pleased shadow gave a sexy grin back and licked his lips smirking at the blush on Sonics cheeks.
'Better make this good' he gave a little swagger to his walk as he left the room hearing Sonics sharp intake of breath as the dark hedgehogs butt wiggled enticingly.
'I am so bad' thought shadow wickedly as he left the room.
Manic smirked as he waved his hand in front of his comatose brother who continued to stare at the doorway where shadow had been, he didn't even blink.
"Oh you've got it bad bro" teased manic as he started filling a bucket with water...this will wake him.
Shadow eyed the two deep punctures in the metal wall of the corridor; knuckles must be very pissed.
'Don't worry sonia can take care of herself...and besides I don't believe the echidna will harm her' thought shadow.
He heard voices coming from the female hedgehog's bedroom; he put his ear to the door trying to hear what was being said.
"Ok now push it in, come on you baby push harder!" said Sonias voice, it sounded slightly strained.
Shadow pulled back in surprise, where they? Already!?
"Listen this is hurting me more then you...don't worry the pain will go in a second just...go slow" whispered sonia in a pained voice.
'Maybe I should come back later?' thought shadow, though he didn't move from where he was.
"Ohhhh...ahh yes like that...there, rub there...ohhh" moaned sonia, the husky sound made even shadow feel weak at the knees.
Finally unable to take anymore shadow stepped back...right onto an uneven plate of the floor, a low creaking sound unnoticeable to normal mobians except maybe Sonia and knuckles.
"Who's there!?" shouted sonia irritably, shadow stood frozen as the light sound of her walking reached the door and she threw it open.
Shadow swiftly closed his eyes, images of her and knuckles both naked...well ok sweaty and passion filled danced behind his eyelids, god sonias gonna kill me.
"Shadow why do you have your eyes closed?" asked sonia more confused then annoyed.
"I'm sorry Sonia but I didn't mean to interrupt you two, I just had a message to give you then ill quickly go" squeaked shadow.
"Don't worry we stopped a little while ago, knuckles managed to pin me and things got side-tracked from there" said Sonia irritated at the echidnas victory.
Shadows cheeks felt like they were on fire, he gulped and tried to talk from his suddenly dry mouth.
"Shadow you ok? You don't look so good...are you blushing?" asked Sonias voice in a very high level of confusion.
"I didn't mean to interrupt your first time I'm so sorry!" shadow blurted out in terror.
"Our first time? Shadow we were...oh" Sonias voice sounded shocked as she came to some kind of revelation, she gave a nervous chuckle and seemed to shuffle around in embarrassment.
"Shadow please open your eyes" pleaded sonia.
Shadow opened them hesitantly ready to swiftly shut them again; the site that greeted him was one he did not expect.
Sonia was still dressed though into simple white shorts that ended at her knees and a white T-shirt, she was covered in sweat and had a large bruise on her right shoulder that she rubbed nervously.
Her quills stuck in all directions and the sweaty look made her all the more beautiful though she looked more tired then passion filled.
Her room had strangely been cleared with all her stuff and the bed moved against the far wall to make space for...something.
Knuckles was standing next to sonia his head tilted in confusion at shadows blush, he had several bruises on his body and he too was very sweaty making his fur stick out at odd places.
'No bodily fluids other then sweat and no bite marks...so what were they doing?' thought shadow.
At shadows questioning gaze sonia reluctantly explained, "We were sparring and so I changed into better clothes and we made space in my room...knuckles pinned me and as I tried to escape I...I dislocated my arm so knuckles had to set it" she said highly embarrassed.
"But you were...moaning" said shadow with a blush.
Sonia also blushed and fidgeted nervously, knuckles eyed her in confusion and gave her injured arm a gentle rub to soothe her, Sonias blush intensified at knuckles innocent action.
"It hurt so knuckles...knuckles offered to massage it to help soothe the injured nerves, I said ok" she explained.
The two hedgehogs stood there looking around nervously but couldn't meet each others eyes, Knuckles looked between them in confusion then gave an irritated sigh and quickly wrote something on a scrap piece of paper he had in his fist, he handed it to shadow.
The paper had jumbled notes and writings all over it, obviously knuckles had written several messages on this paper, a small arrow pointed at one in particular.
'Shadow what is this message you wanted to give us?'
"Manic wants us all to go to this new club tonight, but to get in you need clothes so if you would like knuckles to come he needs something to wear" said Shadow.
Sonia smiled as she looked over her red furred friend, shopping was every girls passion even one as tough as her.
(Authors note: I apologise if this offends any female readers)
Knuckles couldn't help but feel slightly nervous at the look sonia was sending him, it looked...diabolic.
"Don't worry shadow ill find him something good to wear" said Sonia with a grin.
Shadow nodded as he walked away back towards the main living room, he grinned at the though of him and sonic having some time alone and getting clothes for each other.
'Wonder if I can get him in the changing rooms?' thought shadow lustfully.
Knuckles watched the hedgehog depart feeling a strange sensation of fear at being left alone with Sonia, he eyed the smirking teenager in suspicion as she looped her arm with his and turned him round.
"Don't worry knuckles, we'll have lots of fun" she whispered huskily sending shivers down the echidnas spine but he refused to relinquish the suspicious stare.
She gave a musical laugh at knuckles glare giving his arm a gentle squeeze of comfort.
"Knuckles don't worry I'm not going to do some horrible joke on you, ill leave that to manic, she chuckled, I'm just gonna show you more of the outside world and its people"
Knuckles gaze softened as he nodded and gave her a small smile, the hedgehog smiled and lead him back inside the room, she untangled her arm from his and giving a small blush motioned for him to turn his back.
The echidna faced away examining his claws in mild interest as he tried not to think about the naked hedgehog behind him, the sensation of lust was unknown to knuckles so he did not contemplate it but the feeling of curiosity was known and he was mulling it over as his ears picked up the sound of Sonias clothing falling to the floor.
Knuckles blushed as he heard the rustling sound of the shorts she wore sliding off her shapely hips and down her long legs, he shook his head clear of the confusing thought.
'I'm just curious, she is the only female I have encountered and I'm just curious as to what her uncovered form looks like, I mean its not like I'm going to do any thing else to her...so what if she is naked so am I and her brothers but it doesn't effect me.'
But she had things to hide, things that should not be visible to just anyone, he couldn't help but wonder what those strange mounds of flesh on her chest looked like uncovered, what was their purpose? Why did she have them?
'Why do I want to touch them?'
He snarled in anger at himself, they were just overgrown flesh on Sonias chest, what if they weren't meant to be there? The echidna couldn't imagine what uses they had other then constantly distracting him.
"Ok I'm done, how do I look?" said sonia as she gave a little twirl.
Knuckles turned and immediately felt all mental thoughts leave his head.
The dazzlingly beautiful hedgehog had her quills slicked back with some kind of liquid, they shined glossily and gently shook with every breath she took.
Her chest was covered by a pink top that ended at her midriff exposing the smooth skin and gentle layer of fur on her stomach.
The echidna felt his mouth grow dry as he examined her chest, the tight material of the top was pressing on her breasts making them stand out undeniably to anyone looking, curiously the word 'angel' was printed in white letters across the chest area of the shirt.
He forced his eyes lower feeling rude for staring at her breasts for so long, her legs were encased in a pair of tight blue jeans that like the breasts made her behind clearly visible the tight flesh almost begging for attention.
Forcing his eyes lower he examined the white shoes she wore critically, they looked similar to the shoes that sonic and manic wore but had little to no metal on them.
"Do I look ok?" Sonias voice carried nervousness in it.
Shaking his head knuckles quickly scrambled for his paper and pen quickly writing on it and passing it to the beautiful hedgehog.
'Sonia you look amazing, I never guessed that the animal hides could make you look so breathtaking, though I am confused by the shoes, they appear to be deformed somehow, perhaps they were made from runtish animals?'
Sonias smile that had grown from the beginning split open as she laughed merrily wiping the tears of joy from the corner of her eyes, she stared in open affection at the blushing echidna that was avoiding her gaze.
"Oh knuckles what am I gonna do with you, she giggled, these aren't called animals hides they're called clothes" she said tugging on her shirt.
Knuckles was transfixed by the way her breasts softly swayed by the gentle movement.
"And these are called trainers, there just simple shoes made to be comfortable, besides these are a few years old" she explained as the echidna nodded dazedly.
'Why is he staring at me like that?' wondered Sonia, she looked down at her shirt checking for any dirt or marks on the material.
Her eyes widened as the reason came to her, was he possible...staring at her breasts?
Her eyes took on an evil glint as an idea came to her.
"You like what you see knuckles?" she said coyly half-turning and clutching her arms round herself, the echidnas eyes bugged out at the sight but he swiftly turned his eyes away giving a curt nod as he made for the door.
Knuckles hissed to himself in anger, what is wrong with me! Why do I allow myself to be overcome by the appearance of this hedgehog? He raged at himself.
"Knuckles is something wrong?" asked Sonia in worry, the echidna whirled on her and Sonia stepped back at the look of anger on his face, but just as quickly as it appeared it was gone, the look replaced with an apologetic smile as Knuckles offered her his arm.
Smiling back she gave linked arms with him and swiftly gave him a small peck on the cheek in forgiveness, she felt her spine tingle at the contact.
Knuckles blushed at the contact and felt his legs grow weak and his heart pound in... In... In something!
He glanced at sonia in confusion who smiled back at him sweetly.
"Come on guardian lets go shopping!" she laughed as she dragged the nervous echidna with her.
Robotrobilous- Gothic dreams (a cloths shop)
(Authors note, forgive me I couldn't think of anything else)
Shadow eyed the rack of dark leather jackets in interest; he ran his hand over the dark material giving a contented sigh at the rough feeling of the leather.
He and Sonic had snuck into the city and come to this shop, Manic regularly bought his gear here and had said it would be a good place to start his search, so far it had proven true.
He smirked as he remembered the looks on Sonics and Manics faces when sonia had walked into the living room, she had been absolutely breathtaking and judging by the way knuckles couldn't keep his eyes off her he thought so too, however when gently teased about it by Manic the echidna had snarled in warning.
Once in the city the echidna and Sonia had gone off on their own Sonia holding the echidna close to her protectively as knuckles looked around in confusion and fear at everything, he had snarled and snapped at anyone who got too close but despite everything she had still stuck by him fearlessly.
'knuckles sure is special to have her' thought shadow affectionately.
He heard light footsteps behind him and smiled as his love sneaked up to him.
"Shadow" murmured sonic happily as he wrapped his hands round his lover's waist.
'But then ive got something special too' thought shadow as he turned in Sonics embrace and kissed him on the forehead.
"And what's got you so happy?" teased Shadow.
"Because ive got the most handsome hedgehog in the world in my arms" sonic whispered.
Shadow smirked and ran a hand over his quills, "hey I was made to be perfect remember?" he said slyly.
Sonic smirked back and gave shadow a light punch on the shoulder, "Idiot" he muttered.
Shadow grinned back cheekily as he dipped his head down and plundered his loves lips, he groaned as Sonics pressed back hungrily as he tasted his loves sweet lips.
He pulled back taking a quick gulp of air before attacking Sonics lips again pressing his love against the wall of coats behind them.
The leather flowed round them entangling them deeper in a forest of softness as hands wandered, sonic whimpered as shadow left his lips and nibbled on his neck and biting his pulse point gently.
"Shadow...ohhh...shadow" moaned sonic as shadow slowly went lower his instincts compelling him to move down his loves shaking body, he couldn't think about the fact they were in a public place, all that mattered was sonic and making his love scream his name.
"AHEM!"
Shadow blinked as if coming out of a daze and looked up into Sonics crimson face, he smirked at his lover giving sonic a final kiss on his stomach which the cobalt hedgehog instinctively pressed forward for more.
Giving an amused smile shadow complied giving sonic a slow lick up his shaking body before he finally stood up staring at his lover.
"Teaser" whispered sonic lovingly as shadow smiled back, the two hedgehogs finally turned towards the store clerk who had disrupted them.
She was a rabbit with tight leather clothing and various piercings on her face and her tongue, which appeared to be hanging out in shock.
"Enjoy the show?" teased shadow in a low sexy voice that caused the rabbit to blush even more and sonic to glare at his love.
"Sirs I'm sorry to disturb you but this is a clothes shop not a adult store, could you please wait until your in private before going down on each other?" she said trying to keep a straight face.
Shadow just raised an amused eyeridge while Sonics blush increased tenfold; shadow hoped his loves head wouldn't explode with all the blushing.
"We're sorry miss um id like to know where your changing rooms are please?" asked sonic meekly.
"At the far right end of the store there's a few rooms behind the assistance desk, just tell the girl there you want to change and she will show you to the male changing rooms" she said with a smile as sonic nodded gratefully and made to walk off.
He suddenly stopped and whirling round grasped shadow by his waist and slammed his lips into the startled ones of his dark lover.
'Ohhh fuck' shadows body melted as Sonics ferocious kiss made his whole body burn, the blue speedster pulled back breathlessly and gave his lover a cocky grin making shadow almost moan at Sonics flushed face.
"Your not the only one who can tease shadow" he whispered huskily, he jumped back out of shadows arms who made a futile grab at his laughing lover, he gave a grunt as he fell face first to the floor his arms still outstretched towards his giggling lover.
"See you soon shads," said sonic amused as he walked away his feet almost skipping in his glee.
Shadow stared at his lover from his place on the floor ignoring the snickering rabbit behind him as he watched his beautiful lover depart.
'One way or another, I will have him tonight' vowed shadow as his licked his lips still tasting sonic on them.
Rolling onto his back he sprang to his feet wiping the dust off his fur, he glared at the grinning store clerk as he pointed at the rack of leather coats.
"How much for one of these?"
Knuckles was feeling a rage far greater then any he experienced before, his teeth were set into a hideous snarl his fangs itching to tear into flesh. His fists were tightly clenched and his barbs shook with anger.
He was currently snarling at a thickly muscled dog that had dared attempt to violate Sonia and thus soil her body with his filthy touch, as the dog and his two squirrel friends surrounded him his mind flashed back to when this first started.
Flashback- 20 minutes ago
"Come on knuckles come out for fucks sake!" yelled Sonia as she stood tapping her feet impatiently outside the male changing room.
She had eventually led knuckles into this clothes shop, which although small had a good selection of street clothes, and gothic gear, she got all her leathers and cat suits from here.
She had been picking various clothes for the echidna dumping the ones she liked into his arms as the echidna followed her around like some vicious servant, well not vicious to her but anyone else was far game.
Although knuckles had finally learned to tolerate others as opposed to outright attacking anyone who got too close to Sonia and him while they walked the streets he still was wary of anyone who got close.
Sonia had been into two shops before and had been forced to leave before security chucked them out, one young girl of Sonias age who was working at the store had almost fainted when knuckles had snarled at her when she tried to take his measurements.
She knew the owners of this store, her name was 'Jenny' she was an old badger of around fifty who took no crap from anyone, she had tried to take knuckles measurements and when he did his expected snarl she had snarled back surprising the echidna.
She and Knuckles had then got into a staring contest with Sonia as an observer who was trying desperately not to laugh, although it took ten minutes knuckles finally looked away first as he grumbled to himself while Jenny took his measurements.
"That's a wild one you got there and no mistaking that, but he is quite a catch I must admit Sonia" Jenny had whispered to Sonia causing the young hedgehog to blush and jenny to laugh uproaressly.
Now she had finally got some good clothes for the echidna and he was taking ages to get dressed.
'Maybe he doesn't know how?' wondered sonia, she blushed at the thought of helping him get dressed, she wouldn't be able to keep her hands to herself.
She looked up as the curtain of the changing rooms was pushed aside and her echidna stepped out.
Knuckles was standing rigidly as he felt Sonias eyes sweep over him, he wore baggy grey shorts with a blue belt and a shiny silver buckle in the middle, the shorts had a few wavy blue lines on them and two blue crosshairs on the edge of both ends.
His eyes were covered by a pair of sunglasses, they were made of a light grey plastic and had orange lenses giving everything an orange tint to knuckles eyes.
His old worn out gloves were gone; instead a pair of dark leather gloves with holes punched through for his barbs covered his hands.
The gloves also ended halfway down his fingers exposing the sharp claws he had.
Lastly a silver chain with simple green jewel set in the middle hung from his neck which knuckles found to be pleasing.
Unknown to everyone but him and sonia the jewel was actually the master emerald, shrunk even further at knuckles urging he had set it on this chain so it would always be near him.
Lastly a pair of steel toe capped boots covered his feet, they were a deep red with a yellow stripe going round the middle, the padding round the entrance to the shoe was a light green.
Sonia had to mentally pick her jaw off the floor as she eyed her friend's new clothes, strange as now she had seen them she wanted to rip them off him?
'Stupid hormones'
"You look...great! Absolutely brilliant knuckles!" exclaimed Sonia in amazement.
Knuckles blushed and shuffled around nervously, the feel of this 'clothing' was unusual but not totally unpleasant, and if Sonia liked it then he would wear it.
He smiled at her as she paid the old badger 'Jenny' he had grown to like that old female, she was a powerful person despite her age.
Sonia linked arms with him again and lead them out of the shop chatting animatedly about this 'club' they were going to.
"And Manic says its cool so it has be ok, and it would be great to spend some time together as a family again, and with you and shadow there it will be even better!" she said her words spoke in a mad rush.
Knuckles blinked but gave a small nod to satisfy her even if he didn't catch half of what she said.
By now the sun had set and the entire city was filled with an errie darkness with flickering streetlights and glowing windows being the only illumination.
The two entered the dark alleyways of the city as they made their way to the secret hideout, fortunately (or unfortunately) the club was hidden in one of Robotrobilous number one criminal areas, swatbots and Robotniks mobian agents were loath to enter here as few made it out alive, killed by the many gangs who owned this area.
Despite their nature Manic had said that the club had made a deal with the gangs, they would be allowed free access to the club provided they gave no trouble and helped keep the club hidden from Robotnik, surprisingly the treaty was working but still the odd unprotected mobian had been mugged or even killed leaving or entering the area.
Still Sonia was confident she would be fine, besides who would want to attack a freedom fighter?
Knuckles sniffed the air as his hackles raised, he didn't like this, the alley was where too quiet and the faint shuffling of movement on the edge of his perception was making him nervous.
"Manics directions better work or I'm gonna kill him" muttered Sonia as they made their way deeper into the darkness.
Knuckles eyes were looking round wildly as he tried to pinpoint the danger his senses were warning him about, he had grown a sixth sense on the island and right now it was telling him that he and Sonia were in danger.
"Ahha! There it is!" said sonia happily as they spied the bright lights of the club a few yards away at the other end of the alley.
But as they took their first step towards it three figures leap out at them from the darkness, knuckles immediately pushed sonia aside as a huge shadow fell over him, a punch was thrown at him which he blocked effortlessly, he pulled his fist back and smashed it into his opponents chest feeling a dark satisfaction as blood splashed through the air as his spikes dug deeply into the assailants flesh.
"Knuckles!" shrieked sonia in warning but it was too late.
Another shadow had crept behind knuckles and the echidna had but a moment to twist his body to the side as a metal baseball bat smashed into his rips.
He gave a roar of pain as he fell to his knees, his glasses fell from his face and smashed on the floor.
The unknown attacker quickly grasped his neck and held a sharp knife to his throat, knuckles froze.
"Don't you dare attack babe unless you want your little boyfriend here to have his throat cut by me" warned the figure as sonia froze.
The moon had finally risen overhead and by the light knuckles saw his attackers.
Two squirrels were on either side of sonia leering at her as their eyes swept over her body, the figure on the floor was a pig with two deep cuts on his chest put there by knuckles, he noted with satisfaction that the wound was mortal and the pig was finding breathing increasingly difficult.
"So babe how much does this guy mean to you? You can run to the club, somewhere will hear you and come to your rescue but not his" mocked knuckles captor.
"Please don't hurt him" whispered sonia, the two squirrels laughed evilly.
"Oh please don't hurt him, I love him so much! Hahahaha!" joked one of the squirrels gaining a roar of laughter from his friends.
"So sweetie ive got a deal for you, me and my mates will let both of you go unharmed provided you give us something" sneered the leader as the two squirrels licked their lips.
"How much?" said sonia her eyes narrowing in hate.
The boss laughed and shook his head pityingly, "No babe it's not money we're after, we got enough of that...we want something more"
The squirrels leaned closer to sonia trapping her between them.
"We want you," said the boss quietly as sonia gasped in horror.
'No I wont let you touch her!' thought knuckles as his struggles increased, he yelped as the knife pressed harder against his neck a thin trickle of blood flowing down the cold metal.
"Its up to you girl, run and sacrifice him, or stay and let us all have you and you can leave and forget this ever happened" he said mockingly.
"You dirty bastards" hissed Sonia, she flinched as a one squirrel ran his hand down her arm, she pulled back her fist to punch him but the other squirrel grabbed her arm.
"Ah ah ah! No fighting girl or boss man will gut your boytoy over there!" said the squirrel menacingly.
Sonias eyes were brimming with tears as she stared at the boss, "please don't make me do this" she whispered, her plea got nothing more then laughter from the group.
"Sorry babe but a body as good as yours deserves a good fucking, and we are just the men to give it to you!" the boss laughed as he smiled sinisterly at her.
"Now strip" he hissed.
'Sonia don't do it, leave me, safe yourself!' knuckles mentally screamed, he pleaded with his eyes for Sonia to run but she just shook her head as tears streamed down her cheeks.
(AUTHORS NOTE: THIS IS THE NEAR RAPE SCENE, IF THIS OFFENDS YOU PLEASE SKIP A PAGE OR TWO)
"I'm sorry" she whispered as her hands hesitantly went for the hem of her shirt, the squirrels and the boss watched lustfully as she slowly pulled her shirt up revealing more soft flesh and purple fur.
She finally pulled the shirt off completely leaving her bare with only a simple white bra to cover her chest.
The gang whistled and muttered to themselves lustfully as they took in the beauty of the hedgehog.
Knuckles couldn't help but stare in horror that she was forced to do this and yet in fascination at her body, the purple fur was light and looked as soft as silk, her breasts were small yet firm and fitted her body perfectly, there was no fat on her just pure toned muscle giving her a powerful frame but still she retained her feminine curves.
"Shit she's fucking hot!" swore one squirrel as he drooled openly making Sonia shudder in disgust.
The other grinned as he stepped forward and roughly grasped one of Sonias breasts squeezing the soft flesh harshly through the material of her bra.
Sonia gave a painful gasp as more tears fell from her eyes; the squirrel smirked as he stepped closer to her both hands roughly violating her breasts.
"You like that don't ya?" he snickered as Sonia glared hatefully at him, the other squirrel moved behind her and grasping her head quills forced her forward as the other leaned down to kiss her.
Sonia choked as he forced his tongue down her throat, her eyes were tightly closed but still more tears forced their way out of her closed lids.
She shuddered as the both squirrels crushed her between them; both had grasped a breast and were harshly rubbing the sore flesh.
Knuckles eyes were wide with horror as he watched this, the boss leaned closer and whispered, "Don't worry mate, she'll be ok, once we've had her we'll kill both of you so neither one has to suffer again" he taunted as his foul breath blasted across knuckles face.
The echidna shook as the full evil of this situation hit him, Sonia was submitting herself to these disgusting fiends, yet her sacrifice meant nothing as they were both going to be killed anyway.
His whole body shuddered in rage as his eyes narrowed into twin purple fires of hatred, his hands clenched so hard that they bleed as he heard Sonias cry of pain as one squirrel bit her neck.
The master emerald began to glow as its power was activated, Knuckles was so focused on his rage he didn't even feel the blade cutting a little deeper as the boss swore at him to stop moving.
"RRRRRAAAAAAAWWWRRRR!!!!!" Knuckles roared as an energy wave slammed outwards from his body, smashing aside the boss as though he was just a doll.
The two squirrels watched in terror as knuckles started to hover over the ground, his fur started to glow a dull pink and the emerald round his neck sparkled with energy.
(Release her or die!) Knuckles voice roared in the squirrel's ears, they hesitated and slowly let go off the amazed hedgehog.
"You dirty fucker"
Knuckles turned his head eyeing the boss at last he could see him.
The boss was a huge mangy dog, his fur was thick and appeared to be covered in lice, he wore a few dirty rags and tattered jeans.
The boss got up swinging his bat in one hand while holding the knife in front menacingly.
"Come on guys, lets show this asshole what happens to people who fuck with us!" he growled as the two squirrels pulled small blades from their own clothes and surrounded the echidna.
Knuckles eyes blazed with hate as he watched them surround him, he cracked his knuckles and twisted his neck to work out the kinks, already the chaos energy of the master was healing the cut on his neck.
(Bring it on!) His mind screamed.
Back to present.
Knuckles roared as he charged the dog, the huge beast swung his bat straight down towards the echidnas head but he smoothly twisted to the side, the bat sailed past him as knuckles swung round smashing his fist into the dogs face.
He snarled as he pushed his full weight into the blow, the dogs cheek was ripped open exposing the muscles and flesh inside his mouth, a few teeth were shattered by the sheer force of the blow.
The dog went head over heels collapsing on the floor near unconscious; knuckles raised both his fists ready to kill the disgusting fiend.
He gave a gasp of pain as a knife slipped into his back; he spun round his fist scything through the air as he slashed the squirrel that had dared attack him.
The squirrel fell back screaming as he clutched his arm, a cut so deep it exposed bone pumped blood over knuckles fur and the dirty floor of the alley.
Twisting round Knuckles gritted his teeth as he pulled the knife free, he snarled and crushed it as the wound on his back closed.
"Die freak!!" screamed the last squirrel as he lunged for knuckles his blade held before him.
Moving swiftly he grasped the squirrels arm and pulled upwards, there was a sickening tear as the arm was pulled from its socket as the squirrel screamed in agony.
Knuckles grinned evilly as blood splashed over his fur, throwing aside the limb contemptuously he smashed his fist into the squirrels face feeling his spikes bury themselves deep into his enemies skull.
He pulled out shaking the gore from his spikes as he turned towards the whimpering mess on the floor.
The remaining squirrel was still clutching his arm trying desperately to stop the bleeding, knuckles stared at him without mercy as he raised his fists.
"Please don't...please...I didn't mean to! I-I would have been gentle to her!" the squirrel pleaded.
(I have no pity for scum like you) thought knuckles as his fists slammed down, there was a cry then silence as the echidna calmly stood up.
"Hey fucker!" wheezed the voice of the dog.
Knuckles whirled round snarling in anger as the dog held Sonia in front of him, his knife was held in front of her neck as he smirked at the echidna.
Sonia herself didn't seem to notice, her eyes were glazed, as she stared ahead not noticing her surroundings.
"You may kill me asshole but your pretty little bitch will come to hell with me!" he snarled.
Knuckles acted swiftly, his hands tightly grasped the master emerald as he focused on it.
'Please help me' he begged.
(Master control!!)
Time completely freezed as the master held everything in status for a limited time, the entire world took on a green hue due to the power of the master.
Knuckles snarled as he approached the dog seeing the look of pure evil on his face as he made to slash Sonias neck, ever so gently he moved the knife away from Sonias delicate neck then gently pulled her from the dogs grasp.
He eyed the knife before changing its position grinning to himself, before focusing on Sonia.
'She's so cold' he mentally shivered as he lay sonia down then standing back up he glared at the dog.
'Time to die'
Time restarted as the knife slashed across soft flesh, blood spurted from the wound as the dogs eyes widened in surprise.
Knuckles had placed the knife at the dog's own throat and now that time had restarted the criminal had ripped open his own throat.
The dog fell to his knees as he weakly tried to stop the bleeding, blood ran over his fingers as his hand stretched out towards knuckles pleading with his eyes for help.
Knuckles shook his head as he stepped back, the dog eyes were filled with terror as his blood turned cold around his fingers and he collapsed lifeless on the filthy floor of the alley.
Knuckles stared at the dead dog for a moment before slowly expelling the chaos energy from him, his fur turned a light red again and his eyes stopped glowing, as did the emerald.
He turned towards Sonia kneeling before her as he pulled her up into a sitting position, he looked over her in desperation as she weakly clung to him but still didn't say anything.
'What's wrong with her?' he thought in terror.
He shook her gently giving small whimpers of terror when she didn't respond, he pulled her towards him hugging her desperately as he felt tears in his eyes.
Being so close to another person brought a reaction, she screamed and began to beat her fists against knuckles as he stared in confusion not stopping the blows.
"NO! Don't touch, don't touch me! Please just leave me alone!" she sobbed, Knuckles clasped her chin and forced her eyes to look into his, tears flowed down his eyes as he saw the pain in hers but at last she seemed to realise who he was.
"Knuckles?" she whispered as she stared at him in confusion.
He nodded tearfully giving a weak smile, her eyes narrowed as she stared then they suddenly shot open as she threw herself at him crying painfully.
"Oh knuckles I'm so sorry! I-I had to, I c-couldn't let them hurt you...I'm sorry" she sobbed.
Knuckles held her tightly as he rocked her back and forth trying to hold back his tears.
"I l-let them touch me...I'm nothing but a dirty slut..." she whispered.
Knuckles widened in anger as he pulled her back and forced her to look at him, he rapidly shook his head as he smashed his fist into the rocky floor of the alley forcing himself to write into the rock.
'No you are not'
Sonia lowered her head muttering to herself but knuckles pulled her back up and forced her to look at the writing, he pointed at it desperately giving small grunts of frustration.
Sonia smiled weakly at his attempts to make her better, "I cant stop thinking about them knuckles...they-they touched me...in places that are secret only to me"
She sobbed as she covered her face with her hands ignoring knuckles attempts to pull them gently away.
"And that was my first kiss...a sick freak who was going to rape me was my first kisser" she sobbed as knuckles watched helpless.
She uncovered her face her pained eyes staring hopelessly into his, "Is that what its like knuckles? Is that all I'm going to have?" she said sadly.
Knuckles was staring at her aghast that she would think that, but as he thought it he wondered are all other males like that? Would they try and touch her like that sicko.
'I wont let them!' he stared at Sonias eyes filled with tears and confusion.
'Because...because I-I want to do better' he took a deep breath and gently touched her cheek rubbed it soothingly, Sonias eyes were filled with confusion but she accepted the affectionate touch.
'Here goes nothing' he leaned forward his eyes focused on sonia, her beautiful emerald eyes widened as she realised what he was going to do but she didn't move.
Slowly knuckles narrowed the gap until his lips were within a few centimetres of hers; his eyes went to hers as he silently asked her permission.
He waited as her eyes looked into his, the look filled with an emotion he couldn't understand and then just as he feared she would pull back and hate him she nodded, just a small motion of the head...but it was enough.
He cautiously touched his lips to hers the touch whispersoft as he processed the unusual sensation; he pressed slightly harder until their lips were fully touching as he groaned at the sensation.
So soft...so delicious...she tasted like the sweetest fruit and knuckles had to resist the urge to pull her to him and deepen the kiss, he didn't want to scare her.
But it was not he but her who made the next move as she wrapped her arms round his neck, her hands grasping his dreadlocks as she pulled him almost desperately towards him.
Knuckles groaned as he pressed himself closer the taste and feel of her lips sending a cascade of feelings and emotions through him.
He cautiously closed his arms over her delicate hips nearly groaning as he rubbed the soft flesh and fur, she really did feel like silk.
Finally oxygen was becoming an issue as knuckles pulled back licking his lips and staring helplessly at sonia.
The hedgehog had her eyes closed, she leaned back in his arms as she licked her lips savouring the exotic taste of the echidna, knuckles gave a small squeak at the motion and almost kissed her again but held back, his confusion and fear still high.
"Knuckles..." Sonia whispered as she opened her eyes and stared at his amethyst ones, her eyes were filled with love and affection as she smiled happily at her friend, Knuckles ducked his head his cheeks glowing in embarrassment at what he had done.
Sonia grinned as she gently cupped the echidnas chin and pulled him forward, his eyes widened in amazement as she kissed him herself her lips pressing against his carefully.
Knuckles groaned as he responded pushing against her until both their mouths were wide open, as they tasted each other's essence.
A warm and wet object nervously ran across his lips and knuckles eyes snapped open in surprise as Sonias tongue hovered between their lips almost afraid to enter his mouth.
Eyes fluttering shut knuckles own tongue crept out to meet hers the first soft touch sending a lightning bolt of pleasure down both their spines.
Knuckles whimpered as sonia pressed harder against him her leg slipping between his and pressing upwards gently.
"Ahhh!" Knuckles threw his head back as he groaned at the touch, his eyes dazedly met Sonias amused ones as she stared in fascination at the play of emotions running through his eyes.
She leaned over him smiling gently at his fearful expression; obviously he was confused by what was happening especially in the lower regions.
Knuckles hissed in pleasure as sonia rubbed against the unfamiliar hardness in his shorts, he had never felt such feelings before and all he could do was stare helplessly at the hedgehog for some kind of explanation.
"Just relax knuckles, your safe with me" whispered sonia tenderly, she went for another kiss groaning in delight as knuckles pressed back just as eagerly.
She gave a sudden cry of pleasure as knuckles hands gently touched her breasts, the echidna swiftly pulled back in fear of hurting her but sonia just laughed and gently took his hands.
Somewhat nervous but confident she lightly laid his hands on her breasts a quiet plea to be gentle her only words.
Knuckles nodded as he tenderly stroked the soft flesh and lightly ran his fingers round the sides and the sensitive underneath.
(Authors note: I do not know this from experience unfortunately but I am told that this true, please correct me if false)
Sonia shuddered her spine tingling with pleasure as she moaned her head falling back and her eyes staring at the stars above just visible over the buildings.
She cried out in surprise as knuckles placed a hesitant kiss on the top of her breast the soft purple fur gaining moisture as knuckles licked and sucked on them tenderly.
Sonia hands grasped knuckles shoulders tightly as she rocked against him helpless under his ministrations, she gave a small whimper as knuckles mouth went lower and began to lick and probe at a diamond hard nipple under the bra.
Knuckles cautiously licked this strange protrusion on Sonias breast; he wondered what it was but guessing by Sonias shaking and whimpers it must feel nice to be touched.
Knuckles arms wrapped round her small waist as he pulled her against him, Sonia nearly screamed in ecstasy when knuckles began to suck and bite her nipple under the bra.
Sonia half-closed eyes dazedly looked over Knuckles shoulders she could barely think under Knuckles gentle attentions but something behind the echidnas shoulders was gaining her attention.
Shaking her head and trying to not think about the wonderful feeling of Knuckles kissing and licking her breasts she focused on the object behind them.
She gave a small gasp as she pulled back in shock, Knuckles looked up in confusion then followed her eyes and his eyes narrowed at the site.
The dead body of the dog was behind them with one squirrel slumped next to him, a growing pool of blood was forming round their bodies and both had expressions of absolute terror on their faces.
Sonias emerald eyes went into knuckles remorseless amethyst ones, "You killed them" she whispered a statement more then an accusation.
Knuckles nodded without hesitation, he was a killer and Sonia was in danger from those thugs, it was only natural what he did.
He finally averted his eyes from Sonias gaze of horror, he did what he had to do...surely she would understand.
He felt her weight leave his body as she stood up and walked away, knuckles hands shook in sadness but he refused to look up doing his best to ignore what was happening.
'I had to Sonia, don't you understand I had to! They were going to rape and kill you!' his mind raged and again he cursed his inability to talk, damn that fucking coyote!
He saw two white trainers step in front of him and a small delicate hand offered to him, he looked up into the sparkling eyes of Sonia his own eyes filled with pain.
Then she smiled and her eyes filled with understanding and forgiveness, she took his hand and helped him up pulling him into a hug as his body shivered.
"Its ok Knuckles...I don't blame you nor am I disgusted" she whispered making Knuckles release a breath of relief.
He looked over his love disappointed that she had put her shirt back on, he had wanted to carry on with whatever they were doing.
Sonia noticed his look and laughed giving a light thump o his shoulder and muttering "boys, never change".
"Knuckles what we were doing was great, well more then great! She blushed at Knuckles grin, but being surrounded by dead bodies does kill the mood a bit for me" she explained.
Knuckles nodded and eyeing the club in suspicion pointed out to it, he didn't want Sonia near any other males who might try to take advantage of her but if she wanted to go he would protect her.
Sonia shook her head gnawing her lip in nervousness, "Knuckles I...I'm not really feeling up to a night out anymore, is it ok if we just...go home?" she pleaded.
Knuckles smiled nodding his head vigorously, he wanted to get the hell out of here too, he grasped the master emerald and began the bothersome task of begging it to allow another master control.
Sonias eyes wandered as she looked over his powerful form, she blushed as the feeling of being held in his arms came back to her and she felt her body burn in want.
She gasped as she looked lower her eyes wide at the very large bulge in the echidnas shorts, knuckles seemed oblivious but Sonia couldn't help but stare.
'Oh god that's just...just so hot...wonder what it looks like?' she blushed as she felt herself grow wet at the though of touching that huge member...of being filled by it...she licked her lips as knuckles walked over to her.
(Authors note: I am blushing like mad writing this so please be gentle ok?)
Knuckles cocked his head in confusion, why was Sonia staring at his shorts, he looked down himself and almost jumped in surprise...was that the hardness he felt and still felt!?
Sonia watched in amazement as knuckles hand slowly reached down and began to lightly touch himself in curiosity, he hissed in pleasure his eyes half-closing as he started to close his fist over his member.
"OK! I think that's enough for now knuckles!" 'Cause I wanna be the one doing that' she gently pulled his hand free noting with amusement that the single light touch of her hand made the bulge jerk in response.
Knuckles shook his head in confusion but wrapped his arm round Sonia pulling her close as the other grasped the master.
Sonia realised what he was going to do so leaned against him happily as she closed her eyes, she felt his arm tighten protectively round her as she breathed in his exotic scent.
Knuckles had to shake his head to clear it, Sonias affection was one HELL of a distraction when it came to focusing...but he wouldn't ever want it to end.
(master control!) And with a green flash they both disappeared.
"So when's Manic gonna get here?" mused Sonic as he tapped his foot impatiently outside the club.
Shadow didn't answer too focused on his lover to even hear, sonic was wearing baggy black shorts with a Ying and yang symbol on the legs.
A thin black shirt that had satanic writing moving across it and what looked like the grim reaper in front covered his chest.
Sonic even wore small bracelets similar to Manics on his arms and lastly a small necklace with a metal fang on it.
Sonic looked over his lover grinning at the dazed look he had, shadow himself was wearing black jeans with grey patches on them.
A long leather jacket that he had left unbuttoned exposing his muscular chest covered his body.
Sonic had to shake his head to get over his own daydreaming; he waltzed over to shadow giving the dark hedgehog a peck on the cheek before leaning against him.
"You think we should just go in?" asked sonic as he nuzzled his lover.
"He could be waiting inside...but perhaps we should wait a few minutes more before going in" said shadow quietly as he leaned into sonic.
"Sonia still hasn't turned up yet" muttered sonic as shadow gave him a kiss on top of his head.
"I do not believe she will turn up...she doesn't strike me as the type to be late without reason" answered shadow.
"Hope she and knuckles are ok" sonic said nervously.
"Don't worry sonic they can take care of themselves" soothed shadow.
Sonic nodded as he closed his eyes sighing as shadow pulled him close, he buried his head in his loves neck breathing in his spicy scent.
'I'm so glad to have you shadow'
Shadow eyed this club that they were soon going to enter, two large bears were at the entrance checking to see if everyone had access and throwing glares at anyone they deemed suspicious, one of them met shadows eyes and smirked at him as he eyed sonic.
Shadow hissed showing his teeth at the bear as his eyes narrowed to deadly slits, the bear raised an eyeridge and throwing a parting smirk turned to check a young couples passes.
'Asshole...better be careful or he'll be losing some teeth' though shadow darkly.
"Shadow you ok?" whispered sonic, concerned after hearing shadow hiss.
Shadow just shook his head and kissed his love on his head cuddling him protectively, "Its fine sonic" he muttered eyeing the bouncer.
Shadow looked round at all the people entering the club, surprisingly most were male with only a few females present, his eyes widened as two female foxes kissed each other as they entered the club.
'At least this club seems to welcome same sex couples' though shadow appreciatively.
"YO GUYS!"
They both turned to see manic running towards them, the green hedgehog stopped in front of them bending over with his hands on his knees as he took deep gulps of breath.
"Didn't...think I was...'wheeze'...gonna get here...'cough'...in time" he stammered breathlessly.
"What took you so long manic?" asked sonic rubbing his brother's back to help.
"Had to take Tails home...had a chat with uncle as well and then remembered the club so I jetted here as quick as I could" he answered finally standing up straight.
"Uncle says he's got a lead to where the next emerald is but he wont find out till tomorrow so he said for us to have fun tonight" The rockster looked round in confusion, "Hey where's Sonia and knuckles?" he asked worried.
"They have not turned up so I assume they wont come at all" answered shadow as he eyed Manics clothing, the rockster was wearing exactly what he always wore, his brown jacket, bracelets and steel-toe capped boots...all he had done was clean and iron them.
"I like the new clothes manic" said shadow irritably, sonic at last noticed his brothers get-up and gave a small frown of annoyance.
"You made us buy all these new clothes when you haven't got anything to wear either!?" he said angrily.
"Hey I never said I needed new clothes, you were the guys who walk around naked all the time...besides these are fine" mocked manic as he made his way to the entrance the other two hedgehogs followed him.
The bear that had been staring at shadow blinked as he saw manic before his eyes widened in surprise.
"Manic! Yo wassup brother what you doing here!?" he yelled grinning as he towered over the hedgehog.
Manic smirked as he shrugged carelessly; "Just scoping out the new club man, hell what are you doing here! Never twigged you for being the bouncer type...hell never imagined you in a suit either!" joked manic giving the bear a light punch on the arm.
"This place need protecting man and me and my boys be just the guys to do it...and the cash is pretty cool too!" he laughed, he eyed the other two hedgehogs, "They with you?" he asked.
Manic slung an arm round both hedgehogs grinning happily as both shot him irritated looks, "Yep these my boys too! This little blue guy is sonic my brother, and this tall dark and scary porcupine is shadow!" he winced when shadow and sonic elbowed him.
He pointed at the huge bear who was grinning at the small fight, "And this big walking carpet is Joe a friend of mine from my thieving days" said manic.
"Hello its nice to meet you" said sonic smiling as he held out his hand, the bear smiled back and engulfed Sonics hand with his own enormous paw giving it a light shake, he smirked revealing large canines when shadow tensed up as Sonics hand was touched.
"Its nice to see you too little guy, so this you twos first time in this kind of place? Like a date or something?" Joe asked smiling.
Sonic blushed while shadow just glared, "What do you mean 'this kind of place'?" asked shadow.
"You don't know? Well I'm not gonna spoil the surprise...oh don't look at me like that blackie this is a nice place although I prefer to stay outside" reassured the bear.
"Well if you say its ok then I'm sure it's cool, here's our passes!" said Manic handing the tickets to the bouncer.
"Have fun guys and Manic...watch what you say and don't break too many hearts when you say your straight" said the bear laughing afterwards.
The hedgehogs all eyed each other before Manic shrugged and stepped through shadow and sonic following him.
Shadow had to immediately squint his eyes when he entered, the place was almost pitch black with beams of different coloured lights streaming round the room illuminating what seemed hundreds of faceless couples dancing and rubbing against each other.
Heavy rock music filled the air the whole building seemed to shake with each beat and shadow had to concentrate to hear what Manic was saying.
"GUYS! LETS GRAP A TABLE THEN GET SOME DRINKS OK!?" He shouted to be heard.
The other two nodded as they walked round the edge of the huge room, the place had a bar at the far right with tables all round the walls, a dance floor with the neon bright lights focused on it occupied the centre with a stage and a band up front.
Finally finding a table they all sat round as they watched the dancers, it was impossible to see much but they all noticed the amazing number of males on the dancefloor, males dancing with males.
"Holy shit this is a gay bar!!" yelled Manic in surprise, sonic blushed as he looked round noticing all the men kissing each other, he gulped as he saw two dancing with their hands down each others jeans.
Shadow looked round his face not showing surprise just amusement as his calculating gaze swept the room.
"Lets go get a drink" he said slapping manic on the shoulder.
"Dude we're in a gay bar! And you want to stay and have a drink!" swore Manic in horror.
Shadows gaze met Manics as he stared at the hedgehog for a moment before answering, "What are me and sonic, Manic?" he said as if talking to a child.
Manic blinked before giving a sheepish smile, "Sorry dude forgot you two wouldn't mind...fine lets get a drink" he turned and gave sonic a little shake, "Stay here and keep our table ok?" he said.
Sonic nodded as he watched the two disappear in the sea of bodies, he sighed and leaned back closing his eyes as he nodded his head to the music.
"All alone beautiful?" asked a slick and sinister voice.
Sonics eyes shot open as he stared at the weasel that was standing above him smiling lustfully at him.
The weasel like all his species was thin and lithe with strong muscles; he wore some blue jeans and a white unbuttoned shirt exposing his thin chest.
Sonic gulped as the weasel ran his eyes over the hedgehogs body, "N-no I'm waiting for my friends to come back with the drinks" he answered nervously.
"That's not what I meant, the weasel said easing himself into the seat next to sonic, what I meant is are you with anyone...special" he said suspiciously.
"Shadow...I'm here with shadow" said sonic as he leaned away from the weasel nervously.
"And this...shadow, where is he now?" asked the weasel leaning closer.
"Getting the drinks with my brother" sonic answered get more uncomfortable.
"Look I think you should go, that seats reserved!" he said firmly glaring at the smirking weasel.
"Such fire...I bet he enjoys you in bed" teased the weasel.
Sonic blushed furiously, "That's none of your business!"
The weasel grin was pure evil as he leaned closer until his sweet minty breath blew into Sonics nose.
"That's too bad for him" he whispered as he moved to kiss sonic, the hedgehogs eyes widened in amazement before he punched the weasel straight on the chin.
"Don't you dare touch me!" he hissed as the weasel rubbed his jaw, he glared at sonic before lunging at the surprised hedgehog.
He grasped Sonics arms holding the smaller hedgehog tight as he pulled him against his body.
"Nobody refuses me...nobody says what I can or cannot do" he hissed as he leaned in to steal Sonics scared lips.
He suddenly choked as a black furred hand wrapped round his throat and pulled him off sonic, shadow pulled the weasel face to face snarling in the weasels terrified face.
"Never touch him again" he hissed as he threw the weasel across the room, he screamed as he hit a few dancers who kicked and punched him as they tried to get up.
Shadow grunted and then turned towards Sonic who had watched the whole thing wide-eyed in amazement.
Shadow swiftly knelt down and kissed sonic gently as he pulled the blue hedgehog into his arms, sonic kissed back fiercly as he clung to shadow.
They pulled apart sonics eyes slightly teary as he wiped them as shadow rubbed his cheek soothingly.
"Thank you shadow" the cobalt hedgehog whispered.
"Any time" shadow answered smiling affectionately.
"Dudes can you stop making a scene please its bad enough looking around this place" joked manic as he set their drinks down and sat next to his brother, his jaw dropped as he saw two vixens kissing each other hungrily and rocking against each other.
"On the other hand...this place is great!" he laughed as he stared at the two girls.
Sonic smacked his brother round the head grinning in amusement at his indignant yelp.
Shadow chuckled as he passed sonic his beer, the blue hedgehog eyed it in distaste but shadow raised a cocky eyebrow.
"Whats the matter blue cant handle it?" shadow teased.
Sonic glared at him, "I can take anything you can and more...blackie" sneered Sonic.
"ohhh drinking contest!" laughed manic as he took a gulp of his beer gritting his teeth as it burned down his throat.
"If we're having a drinking contest we best do it right, wait here a sec guys" said manic as he hurried to the bar.
Five minutes later three shot glasses and a large bottle of Vodka sat on the table as all three hedgehogs held their glasses in front of them.
"last one standing wins!" said Manic gleefully.
"Your going down Blackie" mocked Sonic.
"I think not bluey" smirked Shadow.
"One...two...three!" yelled Manic.
All three quickly downed their glasses, Manic eyes teared up as he coughed and rubbed his throat, Sonic gave a small cough and quickly rubbed his eyes before straighting himself.
Shadow just shuddered a little as he kept his eyes firmly shut, when he opened them they weren't even a little teary.
"Again?" said shadow smiling at the other two.
The two hedgehogs gaped at shadow before Sonic gave a determined glare and filled their glasses up again.
"of course" He muttered as they all downed their drinks.
An hour later manic was happily snoring under the table an empty shot glass in his hand.
Sonic hiccuped as he slammed his glass down shaking a little with a goofy grin on his face.
Shadow calmly placed his glass down his eyes a little bloodshot and the occasional cough forcing its way out of his mouth.
"s-soo you g-givvvee in yet 'hiccup' shadssss..." slurred Sonic.
"Not a chance in hell" grinned shadow as he watched Sonic frown at him.
"t-thhaaatss a bummeer-r as im gonna...'hiccup'...givviss up now...'hiccup'" he said before falling back in his chair, he head twisted to the side as he watched all the dancers thrust and rub against each other, he grimaced as the rapid motion made his head spin but it stopped when he spied a young couple at the edge of the dance ring.
Two young males, a rat and a fox were happily holding each other gently swaying to the music, both had small smiles on their faces and their eyes closed in bliss and sonic couldn't help but smile ablit drunkingly at the site.
"Shadow...I wanntts to d-dance..plwwweeasse?" sonic pleaded as shadow eyed the dancefloor.
"im not so sure sonic" said shadow nervously, dancing was not something he had any experience with.
"pllwweeze!" begged sonic pouting at his lover, shadow almost cracked up but settled for a thin smile and a sigh.
"If it will get you stop throwing those ridiculas faces" he lightly teased.
Sonic just grinning and began to pull a variaty of faces, gworling, happy, coy and his drunken attempt at sexy all got deep gut-wrenching laughs from shadow.
"Ok ok! Come on bluey lets go dance" he said as he helped sonic up.
"I knewws youd see the lightsss" squeaked sonic as he tried to keep his balance, he hovered for a moment his legs shaking and the blue hedgehog gave the occasional dip in the direction of the floor, but shadow was there to correct him and finally he regained his balance.
"thankss" said sonic smiling tnedarly at his love, shadow smiled back as he directed them to the dance floor.
They both smiled as sonic slowly wrapped his hands round shadows shoulders, the dark hedgehog responded by pulling sonic tendarly against him so they were both gently swaying to to the soft music together.
(Close your eyes so you don't feel them...they don't need to see you cry)
Sonic eyes were locked on shadows as the world around them vanished...and instead became focused on those twin pools of demonic red, they are so beautiful.
Shadow couldn't help but become lost in the beautiful jewels of sonics eyes, he smiled as they just basked in each others presense.
(I cant promise I will hear you...but if you want to I will try)
Sonic leaned forward his lips gently touching shadows, the dark hedgehog pressed back just as tendarly his eyes closing in peace.
(ill sing a summer seranad, the past is done we've been betrayed...its true)
Sonics hands ran over shadows quills as he pressed his body against his dark lover, shadow leaned forward as both hedgehogs fur meshed as they become so close that in the dark they seemed to be a single entirty.
(someone said the truth will lie, I believe without a doubt...in you)
Shadow ended the kiss resting his head against sonics, he smiled loveingly at his lover and whispered "I believe without a doubt...in you" in a loving voice.
(you where there for summer dreaming, and you gave me what I need, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity...for eternity)
Sonic smiled back tearfully, he kissed shadows nose and spoke his own words, "you gave me what I need...freedom" he replied lovingly as he hugged shadow tightly and buryed his head in shadows neck.
(yesterday when you were walking, we talked about the mall...and that, what they did that made you happy...what they did that made you sad)
"I'll always keep you safe from those who would make you sad...I promise" shadow whispered, sonic just smiled and kissed shadows neck as he breathed in his scent.
(we sat and watched the sun go down, picked a star before we lost...the moon)
The two hedgehogs continued to sway as the soft music flowed over them, both had their eyes shut tight with sonic wrapped protectively in shadows arms as the dark hedgehog kissed his lovers head affectionately.
(youth is wasted on the young, before you know its come and gone...too soon)
"I wont waste you" whispered sonic as shadow nuzzled his fur.
(You were there for summer dreaming, and you gave me what I need, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity...for eternity...for eternity)
Sonic ran his hands through shadows quills feeling overwhelmed with how much love he had for this hedgehog, he never guessed that one day he would fall in love with someone so dark or even male! But now that's it happened the blue speedster would never trade it for the world.
(You were there for summer dreaming, and you gave me what I need, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity...for eternity...for eternity)
Feeling the song end but not wanting to leave this beautiful moment shadow pulled sonic against him as tightly as he could without pain trying to absorb as much love as he could, senseing his intention sonics hugged back just as fiercely, tears of pure happiness fell down his cheeks.
(you were there for summer dreaming, and you are a friend indeed, and I hope you find your freedom...for eternity.
You were there for summer dreaming, and you are a friend indeed, and I hope you find your freedom...eventually..for eternity...)
The song finished and one by one the couples left the dance floor, shadow and sonic continued to hold each other with loving smiles on their faces even as the next song started.
Sonic pulled back and smiled tearfully at his lover, "I love you shadow the hedgehog...with all my heart" he swore as he blushed bashfully.
Shadows smile could have lit up the room, sonic was transfixed by the beautiful site.
Shadow pulled sonic up and kissed him tearfully as his and sonics tongues did there own dance.
Shadow pulled back leaving both breathless, there were real tears in his eyes but his smile didn't falter.
"I love you too sonic the hedgehog...with all my heart AND soul" he swore grinning happily.
They went to kiss again when a crash sounded in their ears, both whirled round sonic too much in his drunk state so shadow quickly righted him with a grin at the action.
Manic had just woke up and was laying propped up on his arms as he looked round the room blearily, he spotted sonic and shadow and stared at them for a moment.
"Hey who won!?" he shouted drunkingly.
The club filled with sonic and shadows laughter as Manic shouted at them to shut-up due to his headache.
Outside Joe shook his head grinning in amusement at the noise as he let some more patrons in.
2:00 am - the hedgehogs hideout-great forest.
"Manic you should have let shadow drive!" yelled sonic as he rubbed the bruise he gained due to manics drunken driving.
"He doesn't have a drivers license" protested Manic.
"Neither do you!" screamed sonic immediantly wincing as his head shuddered in pain.
"come on guys we should get inside and get some rest...and please shut up I have a headache at the moment" said shadow rubbing his eyes.
"Ahha! So the mighty shadow submits to the power of alcohol too! Oh how the mighty have fallen" laughed sonic as Manic giggled.
"lets go" ordered shadow as he opened the door and jumped out of the hover van, he held his hands out to assist the other two very drunk mobians.
Manic tried to jump out but slipped due to his state and fell right into shadows arms, the dark hedgehog grunted as he quickly righted himself and glared at the green hedgehog in his arms.
"Why shadow, I never knew you felt that way about me" joked manic, shadow raised an eyeridge then prombly dropped the rockster.
"Shit there was a rock there! Right were my ass currently is in all!" grumbled manic as he stood up and drunkingly swayed inside the base.
Shadow smiled at the nervous sonic as he held out his arms, he snickered as sonics hesitation.
"come on sonic ill catch you" he said soothingly, sonic shrugged then just walked off the edge.
Shadow quickly caught his lover before he hit the ground, he groaned as his head ached then slung sonic over his shoulder.
"This is niccee 'hic' shadow, mind if I just fall asleep here?" asked the blue hedgehog.
Shadow was currently eyeing sonics ass trying to force his hand from touching it on sheer will power alone...it was a hopeless battle.
Hesitantly he touched the soft fur running his hand over the firm muscles and grinning at sonics happy sigh.
"Shadow are you touching my butt?" asked sonics voice from over his shoulder, shadow blushed as he gave one of sonics ass cheeks a genntle sqeeze making the blue hedgehog squirm pleasureable.
"Yes, yes I am" said shadow truthfully.
"Ok then" said sonic as he surrendered to shadows attentions, even if sober he would have allowed it but he would have been blushing like mad, instead now drunk he moaned and squirmed about rubbing his body against shadows as the hand continued its wonderful torture of sonic body.
The two finally made their way into the base, sonic gave an evil grin as an idea came to him.
Shadow was walking towards the living room when he suddenly stopped dead his eyes wide a startled gasp coming from his lips.
Sonic was licking and biting the tip of shadows tail which is all he could reach, his hand was also tendarly rubbing the dark hedgehogs butt making him shiver in pleasure.
Shadow cleared his throat and coming to a decision asked the question, "Sonic, do you remember when we first kissed?" he asked smiling at the memory.
Sonic nodded, "How could I forget" answered sonic as he blushed at what he did.
"remember we wanted to...to go all...you know all the way, but we decided to stop" shadow said nervously his throat very dry.
Sonic blinked in confusion wondering what shadow was getting at, "Yes I do and I don't stop thinking about what could have happened" he answered as he gave shadows tail a nibble.
"you think about...what could have happened?" whispered shadow in amazement.
"yep that's why I was glad but also sad we don't share rooms, I don't think id be able to stop touching you if we did" he said truthfully.
"Then how about we sleep together tonight" asked shadow fearfully.
He felt sonic stop his attentions and tense up, "Shadow are you asking that we sleep together...as in have sex?" his voice asked.
"I prefer the term make love but yes that's what im asking" said shadow.
He felt sonics hesitation then the blue hedgehog began to shuffle around trying to get in front of shadow, the dark hedgehog quickly changed sonics position holding in his arms as sonic looked up at him in confusion.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to..." he heisitated to answer.
"To what?" asked shadow leaning closer to his love.
"...to regret it...or be disapointed" he whispered.
Shadow swiftly kissed his lover groaning as his body began to burn with want as sonics arms curled round his neck and the speedsters lips melded with his.
"never sonic, I have no idea what sex is like but I-I know that it must be the best thing on earth if I get to share it with you" he answered earnestly.
Sonic eyes clouded with tears as he nuzzled shadows neck kissing the soft fur there.
"Then lets go to bed" he whispered shaking in both fear and excitement.
Shadow nodded as they made their way to the dorms, they both smiled as they saw Manic passed out on the living room couch but quickly made their way to sonics room.
They stopped outside Sonics room both feeling the incrediable nervousness and excitement of what they were gonna do.
'im going to make love to sonic, im going to do it well so theres nothing to worry about' thought shadow trying not to panic.
"could you put me down please?" whispered sonic nervously, the dark hedgehog gently lowered his love to the floor as sonic sighed and gave a small shiver.
He opened the door to his bedroom and stepping in the doorway motioned for shadow to enter.
Shadow walked in inquesitively, he wondered round the room examining the speedsters belongings.
The walls were painted a light blue with white borders on the edges and at the roof was also painted white.
A thick cream carpet covered the floor and shadow was filled with the impulse to tear his shoes off just so he could feel it, 'ill be able to soon though' he thought in trepidation.
A small mirror wardraobe was on the right wall which gave a perfect refelction of the bed itself, 'oh the possibiltys' thought shadow lustfully.
The bed itself was pretty big easily able to accommodate two hedgehogs, the covers were a dark blue with black and white strips moving over it in a criss-crossing pattern.
Their was a bed-side table with a lamp with a few photo stands, they all were pictures of sonic and his siblings.
"What do you think?" asked sonic nervously fidgiting from his place at the doorway.
"Its cute" shadow said smiling at sonic, he walked over to his love closing the door and trapping them both in the room.
"shadow..."whispered sonic as the dark hedgehog gently took him into his arms, he held his shaking love as he kissed his head tendarly.
"Im not going to hurt you sonic, I promise" shadow whispered hopeing it was the right thing to say, it must have been as sonic relaxed and leaned back smiling into shadows demonic eyes.
'oh can someone so demonic be such an angel inside?' wondered sonic as he saw the love and affection in those ruby orbs.
(authors note: WARNING M/M YAOI SEX SCENE COMING UP NOW!!)
"Make love to me shadow, before I lose my nerve and run...I don't want to run anymore" he whispered.
Shadow bent down eagerly claiming sonics lips, they both moaned at the exquisite feeling as there hands ran over their bodies.
Sonic hissed as shadows cloths keep getting in the way, he wanted be touch shadows skin and fur.
Shadow chuckled in amusement as sonic gave a grunt of irriatation as he tried to pull the coat of, shadow pulled back out of sonics embrace smiling at the blue hedgehogs longing gaze.
"Allow me" he whispered as he slowly and teasingly pulled off his coat exposing his thin muscular chest, his hands went to his jeans as he slid them of his eyes never leaving sonics.
Those emerald eyes were almost black with desire, his pupils expanding to drink in the sight of his love.
He threw away his clothes as he went to peel his gloves off, sonic swiftly steped forward and took his hands.
"Allow me" he whispered smiling at shadows raised eyeridge, slowly he peeled off shadows gloves kissing the soft fur of his hands as he did so, he smiled as those hands rubbed his cheeks affectionately.
'those hands can crush steel, and yet they have never once hurt me...I love you so much shadow' thought sonic as he gently pushed shadow back until the dark hedgehog was sitting on the bed.
He kneeled down kissing shadows legs smiling as the flesh quivered at the touch, his hands went to shadows shoes and pulled them off, he grinned as he lightly tickled shadows feet making the dark hedgehog laugh and pull away.
Sonic stood up looking over his love breathlessly, the ebony hedgehog was...just...so...beautiful.
Shadow blushed at the dazed look on sonics face, he waved his hand in front of the blue hedgehogs face making sonic jump in surprise.
"Like what you see?" asked shadow as he stretched out on the bed enjoying its softness.
'I love what I see, I want what I see' thought sonic in his lust filled mind, he growled as he crawled over shadow and immediatnly attacked the dark hedgehogs lips swallowing shadows gasp of surprise.
Shadows hands shot round sonics thin waist pulling the blue hedgehog flush against his body, he snarled as the hedgehogs clothing prevented him from reaching his fur, with a few tearing and pulling sonics shirt was torn to shreds.
The cobalt hedgehog didn't even notice, too focused on the gorgoeus hedgehog beneath him to wonder what happened to his clothes.
Shadow suddenly flipped them over forcing a cry of surprise out of sonics lips as shadow lay on top of the blue hedgehog, shadows grin was truly diabolic as he smashed his lips into sonics his tongue entering sonics mouth to greet and dance with sonics own.
Sonics hands ran over shadows body absolutely loving the feel of the hedgehogs muscles jumping and twitching at his touch.
Shadows head snapped back a scream of pleasure forcing its way out of his mouth as sonics hands rubbed his groin, his eyes slammed shut as he moaned at the incrediable feeling.
Sonic looked down gasping in delight as he drank in the sight of shadows member, long and hard it was a dark fleshy black which made sonics hands highly visable as his fingers ran up and down over it, torturing the sensitive organ.
Shadow hissed as he sat back and pulled sonic on to his lap, the cobalt hedgehog squeaked as his legs wrapped round shadows waist anchoring him to the dark hedgehog.
Shadow kissed sonic again his hunger growing as he rocked against sonic, he hissed while sonic whimpered as their members both touched each other, the long peach member of sonic meekly rubbing against shadows which like its owner dominated the other, as it pressed itself against the quivering organ of its partner.
One of shadows hands began a downwards journey rubbing sonics stomach soothingly as shadows long, dark fingers closed gently round sonics shaking member.
"OOOHH!" sonic moaned as he threw his head back his eyelids fluttering as he shudddered under shadows attentions.
"Do you like that?" whispered shadow as his eyes bored into sonics misty ones, the cobalt hedgehog nodded breathelessly as he whimpered as shadows motions speeded up.
"Im the one doing this sonic, how does it feel being under my control like this? Im the only one who can give you release...what do you feel about that?" shadows voice whispered seductively into sonics ears.
"I love it" sonics answered his eyes filling with tears as his whole body began to shake with pleasure.
"then come for me my love...show me how much you love this" shadow hissed as he kissed sonic ferociusly biting his lips carefully, the pain mixing with the pleasure making sonics member jerk in shadows hands but the dark hedgehog was careful not to make sonic bleed.
'shadow...shadow' sonics thoughts were a whirlwind of chemical coktails as his member swelled its release imminant, he couldn't think clearly all that he could do was move on instinct.
The smell of shadows spicy breath made him want to beg for more, the soft fur tickling his body and the hand rubbing his chest made him want to scream.
And the hand that was lovingly careesingly his most sensitive place made him want to explode!
Sonic screamed as his member surrendered to shadows fingers and unleashed its seed, the milky liquid flowing between their bodys as shadow kissed his lover swallowing his yells of exctasy.
Sonics shudderes finally stopped as he shivered weakly in the protective embrace of his lover, his breath was came in pants as he nuzzled into shadows neck.
"that was...amazing..." he whispered making shadow flush at the praise despite himself.
He kissed his loves head trying to ignore the persistance throbbing of his member, he would not force sonic to continue especially considering how tired he was.
'we can continue tommorow' thought shadow slightly disappointed as he kissed sonics head.
"you need to rest love" whispered shadow as he made to lay sonic down, the blue hedgehog didn't move for a moment before he launched himself at shadow, the dark hedgehog gasped in surprise as sonics kissed him hungrily his tongue demanding entrance to his mouth.
Shadow pulled away with a scream as sonics hand returned to his member rubbing and careesing the throbbing organ.
Shadow looked up into sonics dark eyes shivering at the evil smile he had.
"We're not finished shadow...we've got all night to play" he whispered as he claimed the ultimate lifeforms lips.
9:00am the hedgehogs base- the living room.
Manic groaned as he tried to sit up, his arms shook as he put his weight on them before collasping in defeat, he grunted in agony as his head felt like Robotnik had sat on it.
He glared at the medicine cabinet in the kitchen, he needed painkillers now but his arms were too weak to support him...annd all because his legs didn't seem to work!
"I hate alcohol" he muttered as he rolled onto his back staring at the large T.V on the wall, he wondered if shadow once lay here in this exact position watching T.V?
'probaly not as the dirty fucker is immune to alcohol unlike us mere mortals' he thought in irriatation.
He decided to watch T.V until his limbs worked again and thus made a few weak grabs at that the remote that was about an inch out of his reach, all he had to do was lean over and he could reach it.
'fuck that, way too much effort...I know ill command the T.V to turn on with the power of my mind!' he thought gleefully as he squinted at the T.V.
"the power of Manic compells you, the power of manic compells you!" he chanted.
That was when the T.V turned on and manic blinked at the stern face of his Uncle.
'couldn't I have picked a better channel?'
"Manic im glad your up, I've been trying to contact one of you for hours" malagner said in annoyance.
"Wassup unc, me and the guys just been out partying and all that...you know fun stuff" said manic through his dry throat.
Malagner raised an eyeridge at Manics dirty clotheing, wet fur and dark eyes and if he squinted the lack of saliva in his mouth he guessed he and the others had been drinking a lot!
He shook his head fixing his Monocal on his eye, "Manic lisern I've got something important to tell you that cannot wait"
Manic continued to try and sit up, his ears turned towards Malagner.
"we've found the remaining emerald" he said solemly.
"That's great! Now we got five and metals only got two" said manic happily as he finally sat up.
"No manic, metal has that emerald not us" malagner said sadly.
"Shit...well we still have four so that's not too bad I guess" Manic muttered.
"someone we know had the emerald on them when she was captured, someone very important to you" said Malagner nervously.
"Whos that?" asked Manic as he began to count the girls he knew in his head.
"...your mother"
Manic froze as he stared at the sad but truthful face of Malagner, his mother was in the hand sof Robotnik!?
"Fuck!"
