Two days have passed since Ogilvie returned to the Spikers Residence. Sonia wasn't used to it but was trying her best to care for her brothers while acting trusting to them. Manic was happy that he and Sonic got to eat again, especially since Ogilvie came up with a way to make some new, delicious-looking food with the cheap ingredients they had and could afford.
Shadow, on the other hand, was a little irritated with the fact that he had to leave his house and move all the way to the Spikers House to look after Ogilvie. He had to make sure that the recovering azure hedgehog drank his medicine and made sure that he stayed on his wheelchair at all times, at home and at school. To his surprise, the lime-eyed azure hedgehog was pretty much a genius for his age, topping his Biology Class and every other Science Classes he had, along with Math and ICT.
At that moment, it was Thursday and Shadow was heading over to his apartment, the one he had offered his girlfriend to stay in, so that he could get a few of the stuff he needed while staying with the Spiker Family.
However, there was a bitter surprise that was unknowingly waiting for him.
{Shadow's POV}
The moment I approached the apartment, I was about to knock on the door when I heard whispers and purrs from inside.
Strange, I feel like they're coming from two familiar voices. One, I could tell, is a female's voice, which I can predict is Rouge's voice, while the male one seems very familiar but it's in a whisper so it's really difficult to know who it was.
Nonetheless, I am determined to find out. I place a hand on the doorknob and turn it, entering as quiet as possible. I gently close the door and tiptoe towards the living room. I quickly hide and crawl under the coffee table to listen closely.
"Oh, you're so amazing… and so strong…~"
"Aw, thanks, Rouge~"
'Wait.' My eyes widen in realization, my ears twitching as I begin to recognize the male voice. 'isn't that…? It can't be! He would never… would he?'
I get to the edge of the table and slowly look up to see who was with Rouge. My right eye twitches the moment I saw the scene.
There was Rouge sitting on the couch, her body wrapped around the arms and hands of…
"Knuckles?!" I jump to my feet, knocking the coffee table off as I grit my teeth.
They turn to me with wide eyes as they freeze. "S-Shadow?!"
"Rouge, why are you doing this to me?!" I roar at my so-called girlfriend, clenching my fists as I tremble in anger. "I gave you a place to live, a job and let you make your own establishment! Why do you do this to me?!"
Rouge blinks at me for a while until a smirk crawls upon her face. She entangles herself from Knuckles and stands up.
"Why? Easy," she chuckles. "Unlike YOU, Knuckles is actually there when I need him. He's trustworthy and would do anything for me wherever, whenever. And honestly, he's hotter than you. I love him and the only reason I got together with you was for your money. Well, now I have Club Rouge AND a job at Chaos High to help me so I don't need you anymore."
"Oh, is that so?!" I growl, my eyes twitching. "If you don't need me or MY money then GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY APARTMENT!"
"Fine, I will," Rouge grabs Knuckles's arm and drags him out with her. "Just burn my stuff here since my real things are already at Knuckles's place. Come on, Knux,"
"Uh, o-okay…?" Knuckles is confused and surprised as he is dragged by that shitty bat out of MY apartment.
The door shut with a loud slam, leaving me alone with tears as I fall to my knees and began to sob.
(LATER)
I burn the last of Rouge's things inside the apartment after I placed all of my other belongings to my car.
Honestly, there were only a few clothes in there so it was easy to get rid of them.
Anyway, I head to my car and drive back to the Spikers Residence, trying to hold back the tears that were still wanting to fall from my tearful eyes. I park in front of the house and quickly, and quietly, place my things in the Guest Room.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Shit. Not quiet enough.
"Mr. Shadow…?"
"Come in!" I yell, my voice still choking in tears as I hear the door open.
"Mr. Shadow, are you okay?" I turn to see Sonic in his lightning bolt-designed pajamas as he looks up at me worriedly. "You sound like you've been… crying…"
"I'm fine." I snap and he flinches, causing me to sigh at my mistake. "Ugh, look, Sonic, I'm fine. It's just… it's grown-up stuff, you wouldn't understand,"
"Maybe you'll feel better if you told me anyway?" Sonic comes closer, looking shy and sheepish. "Please, Mr. Shadow?"
I want to say no again but then I see him pouting with his big, adorable emerald green eyes pleading for me to spill.
Wait… adorable? Oh fuck.
"I…" I sigh in defeat and folded my arms. "Alright, fine. I'll tell you what happened…"
(AT MIDNIGHT)
{Ogilvie's POV}
"Psst, Gil,"
Ugh, it's just a dream, it's just a dream, it's just a dream…
"Giiiil!"
Sonic, please stop. I'm trying to sleep…
"GIIIIL…"
"Ugh," I groan, forcing my eyes open to see my older triplet brother looking up at me from the middle bunk. "what do you want from me now, Nic? Homework trouble or school trouble?"
"Neither," Sonic sighs, his cheeks burning a bit. "It's just that… Mr. Shadow told me something that happened to him earlier… with him, Ms. Rouge and Mr. Knuckles but… I…"
"…don't know what it all means?" I guess, raising an eye brow.
"Yeah…" Sonic's ears pin as he jumps on my bed. "can you tell me what it means?"
I shrug and he helps me to sit up, placing my hand on his shoulder so I can telepathically see what I'm dealing with.
"Alright then," I shake my head when I realized what the situation was. "Oh boy, why does it have to be these types of stuff? Well, Sonic, are you sure you wanna know what's going on?"
"Yes, yes, pleeease!" Sonic begs.
I groan, scratching my head before beginning. "Alright, um, Nic, you see, Ms. Rouge and Mr. Shadow we're together as a couple but then Ms. Rouge, uh, didn't love him anymore so she went to Mr. Knuckles and they became a couple. Mr. Shadow is angry that Ms. Rouge doesn't love him anymore but he'll be fine. Just… cheer him up whenever he feels down,"
Damn, it's hard to say to my innocent older brother that Ms. Rouge fucking cheated on Mr. Shadow for Mr. Knuckles because she's a slutty-ass lesbian bitch (which I can tell with how she acts around other girls) that plays with the feelings of boys…
Sonic blinks at me before smiling and pulling me into a hug.
"Thanks, Gil!" he says then he lets go and jumps back down to his bunk. "Goodnight!"
"Goodnight…" I grumble as I watch him yawn and fall into slumber.
I wait for a while for him to really sleep then I use my wind to grab my phone. I open it and go to our class group chat. I smirk when I realized that lots of our classmates were active.
This should be fun…
(THE NEXT DAY)
{Normal POV}
BRIIIIIING!
"Alright," Sonic beamed as he pushed Ogilvie's wheelchair out of the classroom. "time to meet up Mr. Shadow in the cafeteria!"
"Wow," Ogilvie groaned, face-palming. "did you have to announce it to the whole school?"
"Maybe," Sonic cheekily smiled and his little brother held his urge to slap him.
"Bye, Sonic!" Silver, Scourge and Tails waved them goodbye.
"Bye, guys!" the emerald-eyed azure one waved his friends as they parted. "Are you sure you guys don't want to sit with us?!"
"Nah," Scourge shuddered. "We can only take on Mr. Shadow for an hour and a few minutes; Registration, Biology Class and Homeroom! But we'll catch ya guys after lunch!"
Sonic grinned as they went down to the cafeteria, with Ogilvie levitating his wheelchair to avoid the staircase, and saw Shadow sitting in their usual seat, waiting for them as he played with his food.
"There he is!" Sonic jumped happily before pushing the wheelchair with great speed.
"Nic, slow down!" Ogilvie hissed but it was too late as they came to a stop in front of their red-striped, ebony teacher.
Shadow looked up to see Sonic, his bright smile overshadowing the upset frown he had on his own muzzle as the emerald-eyed azure hedgehog sat beside him while the lime-eyed azure one rolled his wheelchair across them. The two brought out their lunches, which was a Caesar Salad with orange juice, then they all began to eat.
As they did, however, the cafeteria door opened and everyone began to mutter and gossip loudly, glaring at the arrivals. This made Shadow's ears flicker in irritation and curiosity so he turned to see who entered.
Rouge and Knuckles.
"Oh fucking hell…" he grumbled as they walked past them, Rouge's head high to ignore the students while Knuckles looked concerned.
Ogilvie chuckled as he watched them walk before he placed a plastic smile on his face. He placed his utensils down and waved over at them.
"Hi, Ms. Rouge!" he greeted in a cheerful voice. "Hi, Mr. Knuckles!"
Sonic looked at him, stunned by his welcoming expression as he turned to the two teachers, who was blinking at them in surprise before smiling.
"Well, hello Ogilvie and Sonic," Rouge greeted back then she turned to the ebony teacher and sneered. "Shadow…"
"Rouge…" Shadow grumbled, glaring at her in disgust.
"Omg!" Ogilvie let a fake gasp, acting surprised as he made sure that he was heard by everyone in the cafeteria. "I thought you and Mr. Shadow we're together, Ms. Rouge! Did you two break up?!"
The gossips got louder and Sonic felt uncomfortable, shifting in his seat as he began to eat his food slower. Among the crowd of students was Manic, who turned to the other table in curiosity with his friends.
Rouge, Shadow and Knuckles, on the other hand, flinched in discomfort but neither of them could do anything nor say anything to oppose as Ogilvie continued.
"Why would you two break up like that?!" the lime-eyed azure hedgehog was going dramatic as he faked out his shock. "You two were SO close! Who's fault is it?! Oh, why? Why?! WHY?!"
"W-Well, um…" Rouge wanted to answer but Ogilvie didn't let her as he stopped being dramatic in a snap and smirked.
"Oh, I think I know why," he folded his arms.
Everyone else held their breaths at the suspense, with Manic's eye brow raising in suspicion whilst Sonic was biting his lip with worry and fear of the many pairs of eyes watching them. Shadow glared at the students around them as Rouge began to grow nervous, her fingers fidgeting as she gulped.
"O-Ogilvie…"
"YOU, Ms. Rouge, are a cold-hearted bitch you likes to play around with boys! You fucking LOVE to act like you 'love' them so that you can get all their money cause you're also a crazy retarded gold digger! A slutty ass who only likes hot guys to have fun with them and to pleasure your horny pussy and oversized tits!"
Everyone gasped then began to gossip louder than ever, glaring at the bat while others shunned her by yelling. Rouge's face burning in embarrassment and anger before she ran out of the of the cafeteria.
"Hey!" Knuckles growled at the young student. "What was that about?!"
"Oh dear, can't you handle the truth, Mr. Knuckles?" Ogilvie didn't seem to care about the echidna teacher's reaction. "Or are you just afraid to admit that you're a traitorous and retarded friend who got together with Rouge for her fat ass and tits?"
Knuckles's face burnt dark red in embarrassment as the students gasped and began to boo at him angrily.
Manic's eyes widened tearfully in realization before he ran out of the cafeteria, heartbroken.
Sonic noticed this and his ears pinned guiltily. He knew how his big brother felt for their History Teacher and hearing the truth about the relationship of Knuckles and Rouge must have hurt him bad.
"Gil…" he nudged his little brother, trying to make him see what happened.
Ogilvie shivered at seeing their eldest brother running off in tears before groaning. He glared at the echidna with a huff.
"Now get out of my sight before I'll do who-knows-what," he growled before turning away.
Knuckles glared back at the student then he turned tail and ran to an edge of the cafeteria. Once he was gone, everyone else went back to their food, including Shadow, Sonic and Ogilvie.
It was quiet in the table, all of them focusing on their food more than what just happened. It was an awkward silence until the ebony teacher spoke up.
"I don't even know how to react," he said with a chuckle. "Should I be mad for sharing what happened or should I be proud that those two got what they deserved?"
"I'd say both," Ogilvie shrugged. "but I think I MAY have gone too far with insulting Mr. Knuckles…"
"Not really," Shadow grumbled. "He is my friend yet he had no shame stealing my girlfriend…"
"Do you still love her, Mr. Shadow?" Sonic asked curiously.
"Ew, not anymore," Shadow gagged. "How can I after everything she's done to me?"
"But that's not what we meant about my insult and exposure of Mr. Knuckles," Ogilvie sighed. "Chaos, I went too far. Manic heard me from right across the cafeteria,"
"That's a bad thing, how?" Shadow raised an eyebrow.
"Well," Sonic bit his bottom lip and twiddled his fingers around. "you see, Mr. Shadow, Manic, uh… he, um, likes Mr. Knuckles… I mean like-like him…"
"…oh." Shadow nodded in understanding. "But I think it's better for Manic to know the truth,"
"Or not, whichever is better for everyone else," Ogilvie looked over at Knuckles, who seemed to paying attention to their conversation. 'Chaos, he's already caused as much trouble as Ms. Rouge. What else does he want…?'
