I was half asleep when I wrote this, forgive me XD
Note: I upgraded Shadow's dream, because I am a perverted little shit that needs to practice her perverted writing. Enjoy, and if you whine I'll feed you some lemon drops. Those things are nasty.
A blue form danced around him, beautiful and elegant as it circled him, just barely out of his grasp. He reached out, desperate for even the smallest contact with the heavenly being, only to snarl as it twirled away, crystalline laugher so foreign yet familiar echoing in his ears mockingly, yet instead of anger boiling through him he felt a sense of excitement, of pure pleasure that made him growl throatily.
Shadow revelled in the sounds of the blue for,, blindly reach for the creature like a lost man in the desert did for water. He wanted, he needed this entity. He needed the young immortal in his arms. He needed the other, he needed to hold him, kiss him, claim him. He needed to make sure to other was his.
As if hearing his silent pleas the figure stopped running and turned around, beautiful jade eyes staring deep into his own. He watched, enamoured, as it began walking towards him, blue hips swaying sinfully as they were but a inch apart now, obsidian brushing against sapphire. He towered over the other, satisfied by the three inches he had over the ephemeral creature.
There was no hesitation as he grabbed the cerulean form and pulled it closer, enjoying how easily their bodies fit together. His soul sang with completion, and his Chaos roared in his ears like a fiery inferno, begging to be let out. Snarling into cobalt fur, he bit the blue neck and felt the other quiver beneath him, each gasp and shuddered moan heaven for his ears. A tremor of ecstasy travelled his own body as he pushed the other back, pinning him against a wall.
No space left between them as his hands wandered down the lithe body, his fingers trailing lower and lower and between two long, athletic legs. He touched and caressed the other there, enjoying the pleasured cries of the younger one as his fingers slipped in and out of the heat, gently preparing him. He hissed against a lowered ear as black talons scraped softly against tight walls, making his body shake from retraint and his nether regions feel as if they were on fire. Despite his burning need to grab the svelte legs and sink into the blue one he patiently fondled the sapphire form, running his free hand through the soft fur as he took his time to trap his little mate in a web of sensuality.
Small claws tore at the skin around his shoulders, the figure having trouble standing as he diligently pleasured the blue one to the edge of madness, gently preparing the younger immortal before the main act and revelling in the cries of unhinged happiness and ecstasy leaving a pair of fawn lips which he dutifully trapped with his own, drinking in each hitched moan, pleading whimper and startled scream and shivering with excitement as a result...
He woke up.
It was as simple as that; one moment he was blissful and at peace with his much desired mate in his arms begging for release, the next he was sitting in a plain white bed, his body feeling just as cold and empty as the room he slept in.
The lingering smell of sweetness and spices that had kept him sane had faded after three days, the source long gone from Shadow's side.
Growling, the ebony male rose from his bed, uncaring of the mess he left behind as he stood up and left the room, quickly making his way through the hallway. Lights flickered above his head, the sensors reacting to the sudden movements, but the dark immortal paid no mind to it, his entire being focused on one task. He came to a stop in the entrance chamber, dark wine eyes staring at the room with a indescribable expression.
He'd never cleaned up the room.
Scorch marks littered the floor and walls, and hints of dried blood still pooled where the Spear had struck. The Chaos in the room was just as frigid and empty as his body felt, a remain of Sonic's desperate Chaos Control he didn't attempt to fix, rather letting it contaminate him each time he passed through the room.
He needed to remember what he'd done.
So it would never happen again.
Shadow stood there in the middle of the chaos, nose twitching as he breathed in the last remains of his little mate's scent.
His mate. The term would have brought a soft smile to his lips. Because he couldn't see Sonic as anything else but his.
(And now he lost him.)
The Ultimate Lifeform snarled as he whirled around and struck the metal wall with as much strength as he could muster. The thick bunker wall shook and rippled beneath his fist, breaking inwards and forming a small crater. The white light above his head flickered several times before plunging the ebony male in darkness.
Pain flared throughout his body, the agony of his broken hand barely registering against the tsunami of grief that overtook him. Sonic. Why did I do this? Why did he let his rage and need for revenge against G.U.N. overtake him in such a way?
Since when had he become so weak that he lost himself and struck the one person who had nothing to do with this?!
Breathe. A part of him muttered, a slice of his mind that remained sane and sounded not unlike Rouge. You need to focus. He will be found eventually, you only need to search. Their mate was strong. He had to be able to survive the outside world.
Until they met again, he had to work on that new Chaos Emerald.
...and prepare Abraham Tower's funeral.

Sonic awoke with a sharp gasp, hands flying up to his neck where he had last felt the ghostly touch of strong dark hands. He could almost picture the fleeting dream in his mind, the black form looming over him, skillful hands playing his body like a instrument, a scorching hard heat inside him, a warm mouth on his neck that bit and nibbled it roughly as he cried out, not fighting the claim but rather accepting the presence of the older Ultimate Lifeform in him...
The cobalt hedgehog shivered, feeling the uncomfortable heat and tingling sensation his body was plunged in. He needed a shower. A very cold shower.
He didn't want to think about the other immortal right now. Shadow had been a constant presence at the back of his head that he needed to forget, if only for a while.
But what if you meet again? Sonic wasn't stupid. It was unlikely they wouldn't meet again, not with eternity stretching out ahead of him. He would encounter Shadow one day, it was only a matter of time. But what would he do then? The darker male's violent outburst was a constant in the back of his mind. As much as his instincts cried out for the ebony warrior's presence, the attack left him feeling lost and wary.
After all, why should he trust Shadow after the other nearly killed him for something that hadn't been his fault?
Sighing, the young speedster shifted to the side and began crawling out of his bed. He needed to start working otherwise Tails would crush him under the weight of orders. For a kit, the fox could be downright terrifying...
Green eyes widened as their owner felt a slick wetness between his legs. Grimacing, the blue hedgehog pulled the covers away, only to growl in irritation at the mess his body had left in the bedsheets. Stupid dreams.
It seemed he had to clean his bed before going to work...and somehow do it without either of his friends noticing it because his dignity demanded that he kept this quiet and personal. He was in full control of himself, dammit.
(Yet the opposite was glaringly obvious.)
Shadow, do you know how much I loathe you?

The second Ultimate Lifeform quickly learned what his 'chores' consisted of, and despite the repetitive aspect of it, the sapphire one found himself loving his work.
Plainly put, he was Tails' mailman.
Apparently there were no other engineers in the small village -as it turned out, there had been a walrus a long time ago, but he had left for Holoshka- and Tails' services were in high demand. Fixing computers, setting up sound systems, repairing vehicles, the fox did it all. For that however, the vulpine needed a lot of materials and needed to deliver back the repaired parts to their rightful owners, and this is where the young Ultimate Lifeform came in.
The villagers had quickly taken a shine to him, though Sonic knew it was less about himself and more of the fact he could blast across the small town and most of the countryside in a matter of seconds.
Quickly enough the other shops began using him as a way to quickly send their parcels to their designated location. Sonic found himself even delivering material to Station Square, but due to the fact it was too much into G.U.N.'s territory he found himself pickish with the idea of being so close to his old captors. The villagers seemed to understand his reluctance, thankfully.
It seemed that he wasn't the only one who hated the organization.
One godsend Sonic enjoyed thoroughly was the reinforced shoes Tails had managed to scramble together within three hours. The blue hedgehog was amazed by the child's ingenuity, as the kitsune used a old pair of shoes of Knuckles' and modified the already reinforced shoes to be able to resist burning from the high level of friction Sonic generated each time he ran. The pair was grey and colorless, of a simplistic design to minimize weight, but the Ultimate Lifeform love them either way.
"Here you go, sir!" A young toad exclaimed as he dropped a few rings into Sonic's hand after receiving his new repaired phone. "Thanks! You're just as quick as the rumors said you were!"
Sonic offered the child a sheepish smile. "I'm just doing my job."
"Still, thank you!"
The young immortal bid the amphibian goodbye before turning around and pulling the list of orders out of his backpack, a smirk growing on peach lips as he noticed it would be the last one before he was done for the day.
Buy a dozen of Cream Delight Cookies from Rose's Bakery.
Huh. He looked over the address again. It seemed as if it was nearby as well. The cobalt hedgehog felt giddy at the prospect. After this he would be able to continue his exploration of the landscape -that is, if it didn't rain, because there was no way he would ever take a step outside if there was even the smallest probability of it. The last time he had been caught up outside in the middle of nowhere, soaked to the bone and terrified out of his mind until Tails and Knuckles came to pick him up was enough for the young Ultimate Lifeform.
Humming to himself, the cobalt one jogged to his destination, enjoying the warmth of the afternoon sun against his fur. His good mood sailed at this, and he could almost taste the freedom he so desperately enjoyed.
His spirits crashed and burned however when he arrived at the required shop.
What kind of shop was called Rose's Bakery?
Staring at the pink monstrosity of a building, Sonic quickly found himself agreeing with the name as he entered the shop. He'd visited it before, once or twice; Tails had a mean liking for the cookies from this bakery, and would always stock his fridge with their creations.
Today however things were different. The decoration however, blinding as it was, had not changed, which he first took noticed with a stifled whimper for mercy. The perky raccoon that served him the last two times, Midna, was serving the clients as usual, however, there was a second person who stood at the counter, her fur the exact shade of pink as the furniture, walls and ceiling.
There was no doubt that this was the owner.
"Hi!" He said to her nervously, uncomfortable and slightly embarrassed of his surroundings. There was too much pink and purple here for his taste. It seemed as if a princess had puked on the building. "I-I'm here to pick up...a batch of Cream Delight Cookies for Miles Prower."
The person at the counter, a pink hedgehog, stared at him with narrowing green eyes a few shades darker than his own. Sonic felt his fur stand on end at the interested and curious gleam in her eyes as she bend down and grabbed a teal box from inside the counter. He didn't know what he did, but he had somehow attracted the girl's attention in a way he most certainly didn't like.
Tails, your addiction will mean the death of me.
He quickly grabbed the box from the female's hands, his instincts screaming for him to run away from this pink hell. The other hedgehog smiled at him, before spotting something that apparently made her gasp.
"W-what is it?!"
"Your shoes! They're grey and colorless!" The girl shrieked, horrified. "Off with them, now!"
Heh?
What was wrong with his shoes?
(They looked perfectly fine in his opinion. Did he step on dog crap again?)
"B-but I need them..." Sonic squeaked faintly as the girl jumped over the counter with practiced ease. "My feet burns up from the friction otherwise..."
The pink female stared at him for a moment before speaking, her tone even more indignant. "Did Miles make them!?" The hedgehog snarled, unconcerned of how her victim was trying to shrink onto himself like a terrified turtle. "Urgh! No matter. Come on, I need to have a talk with that lazy fox!"
Sonic could only offer a meep as the girl grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and burst out of the building before beginning to drag him towards the direction of Tails' workshop.
He quickly untangled himself, disliking the grip. The girl stared at him, confused as to how quickly the blue male had distanced himself from her. "D-don't grab me like that." Sonic muttered, not wanting to be rude but still hating the hold. It had been too alike the ones the guards back at G.U.N. had used. "I-I don't like it. Please? It's not nice."
The pale green eyes blinked for a moment before looking apologetic. "Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't want to make you uncomfortable!" The pink girl giggled before winking mischievously at him. "Don't worry, my beef is with Tails, not you honey." She reached out slowly, as to not startle him. Sonic liked her action, as she seemed to have realized that her precious act had been uncalled for.
She grabbed his wrist gently and spun him around, using the blue hedgehog's light weight to lead him toward the workshop once more.
Maybe not.
Noticing his grimace, the young girl let go, frowning.
"Just follow me!" She said, giving him a large, comforting bright smile. The cobalt hedgehog found himself smiling as well, her attitude as contagious as the plague despite the rough start of their meeting.
"Hey! Wait up!"
"Aren't you supposed to be the fast one?!" The girl said with a small crackle. "Keep up, hedgehog!"
"Can you at least tell me your name?!"
The hedgehog paused for a moment at her blunder before chuckling. "Oh! It slipped my mind completely. Silly me!" She exclaimed, picking up her rhythm again. "I'm Amy Rose!"
"Sonic."
"I know." She said with a giggle. "Come on, I'll race you there!"
Sonic blinked at the absurdity of the pink female in high heels trying to race him, a Ultimate Lifeform, who could run at the speed of sound. Nevertheless he indulged the girl, jogging at what felt a snail's pace next to the younger mobian and smiling at her when he easily ran pass her.
Amy's cheeks flared red with indignation and she accelerated. The blue speedster allowed the female to run pass him again. She laughed, bright and full of life and wonder, and Sonic couldn't help but laugh as well, enjoying the mock race.
This is amazing.
The cobalt hedgehog happily skipped his way back to the workshop after the young female, carefree emerald eyes never once looking up to the growing shadow in the skies.
