Sonic and Shadow try to get intimate, will they succeed? /dramatic music plays by while the author tries to show the audience how many fucks she doesn't give
There's also some domesticity and whatnot, though the chapter is pretty much about Sonic and Shadow trying to have sex.
A quick headcanon for this chapter, in case you don't want to imagine they're in human form or something lol (I've been into gijinkas too much this year). Since Sonic and pretty much all male animals in his universe don't use pants and therefore their crotches are like a Ken doll's. So for this shameless piece of smut I suppose they have a penis sheath and the penis is visible only when they're aroused. Lol. Bear with me, I hope it's understandable.
Remembered when I said I'd upload early? I LIED. I've been not depressed actually, but everyday I'd find myself looking onto the horizon like a dumbass and feeling so tired and lazy! It was an endless circle, I felt tiredand my muscles hurtso I slept a lot but sleeping a lot caused me headaches and morepain and fatigueso it started over and over again. And I'm not writing this story from a phone anymore since I updated my blackberry to a galaxy s4 and I'm terrible with touch keyboards.
By the way, OH MY GOSH. Have you listened to Koji Yusa's BLCDs? THEY'RE HOT AS HELL. I even found one where his seme has a voice that resembles Sonic's seiyuu's and I NOSEBLED UNTIL I FELL INTO A COMA. Well not exactly, but it's still hot.
You go and search in YouTube "All Yusa Kouji-san -UKE-" or something like that and click the video of the user FL Yaoi and GO TO THE MINUTE 6 WITH 32 SECONDS. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. I GUESS. Take it as my apologies for being so late in uploading!
But on the other hand, I passed my enrollment exam so I can finally stop studying for a while and focus on the fanfic.No more cram school! (Academy as I called it before, I learned the other word through a NaruSasu R-18 doujin looool)I guess the hiatus was worth it? Enough with the chit chat, I'll start the chapter now.
Sonic woke up to the sound of a childish giggle. He opened his eyes slowly, and was welcomed with the sight of Shadow and Silver standing next to his bed, both father and son staring at him with something alike to a grin.
Woah, I could get used to this, Sonic thought, feeling warm and fuzzy inside.
"Wake up, Sow-neek," Silver said. "Daddy made bweak-fast and you won't get any if you keep sleeping."
"Oh, really?" Sonic asked mischievously.
"Yeah, I'll eat your bweak-fast if you don't come down quickly," Silver stated, a cheeky grin on his face.
"I don't think so!" Sonic exclaimed, pulling Silver to a tight hug, ruffling his quills with his fingers. Silver squealed in surprise but soon he was nuzzling his head against the contact and giggling cutely.
Shadow couldn't stop himself from smiling at the sight, but he at least could cover his mouth with his hand. He was so glad that Silver and Sonic got along so well. It was March, almost a month had went by since he and Sonic kissed for the first time, and Shadow finally was starting to believe that things would be alright. Sonic took his request to go slowly in their relationship to heart, and Shadow was thankful for that.
Sonic stood up, little Silver clinging to his arms. Shadow followed them as they went downstairs. Sonic's mouth drooled at the sight; there were no chili dogs but Shadow was still pretty good at cooking whenever he was in the mood. Once he finished wolfing down his plate of waffles he helped doing the dishes.
Today they had a very busy day. Shadow had trusted Sonic the task of taking Silver to the doctor for a vaccine shot, while Tails would visit Shadow for his first monthly checkup, to check if he had caught another disease. Needless to say, Shadow was feeling very anxious that day for both the events mentioned above.
"Where are we going, Sow-neek?" Silver asked curiously, once the blue hedgehog took his hand and led him to the main door.
"Sonic's taking you to the doctor," Shadow answered, not seeing the point in lying to him.
"Why~?" Silver whined, and it was the first time Sonic had seen him protesting. He probably didn't like hospitals.
"Because you need to get a shot."
So you don't become a disgusting walking disease farm like me,Shadow added bitterly in his mind.
Silver frowned in disapproval, though Shadow couldn't tell whether it was because of what he said or because of what he just thought.
"And why won't you take me?" He pouted.
"I will go to another doctor, that's why. Don't you want to go with Sonic? I can call Amy," Shadow stated, folding his arms crossed.
"Sow-neek's fine," Silver pouted even more, already rubbing the arm that would be pierced by a needle today.
"I'll go with you next time, alright?"
"Next time?!" Silver gasped, horrified at the thought of more shots. Shadow let out a deep sigh.
"Go now, or else you'll miss the appointment," he instructed. Sonic nodded, and he took Silver outside the house. "Wait," Shadow said, making both hedgehogs turn around. "Please be nice, alright Silver? Don't give Sonic a hard time," his eyes and voice visibly softened. It amazed Sonic how quickly Shadow could change from a stern dad to a mother hen.
"I'm sure he'll be good, Shads," Sonic intervened, trying to easy Shadow's worry.
"That's not—" He sighed again, as if Sonic didn't understand something obvious. He approached them and crouched before Silver. "Don't use your powers, got it? I don't want another incident," he requested softly.
Silver nodded against Sonic's leg, a grumpy frown on his face. Shadow got up and sent Sonic a trustful look. Sonic nodded and left in a quick pace.
"Hey, kiddo," he asked once he got to the hospital. "What did your dad mean with 'incident'?"
Silver suddenly smiled with delight, which made Sonic shudder with fear. "Once mommy took me here to get a shot and I made everythin' fly 'cause I didn't want the needle. It was funny and mommy laughed, but when we told daddy he wasn't happy."
Sonic didn't know how to answer. "Uh... someone could've gotten hurt, kiddo," He managed to mumble.
"That's what he said too," Silver giggled at his own words. "I pwomised I'd be nice; I don't want daddy to be upset," he added. Sonic only prayed that Silver would keep his promise. Without further ado, they entered the hospital facility.
Tails arrived soon after Sonic and Silver had left. Shadow greeted him politely and Tails returned the greeting casually. In a matter of minutes the fox had taken the blood sample needed for the checkup and started analyzing it.
"It will take faster this time, I got my hands on a better software than that of the last time," Tails said, a glint of excitement in his eyes. Shadow nodded, remembering Tails' passion for machines and technology. "Where are Silver and Sonic, by the way?"
"Sonic took Silver to get a shot," Shadow answered calmly, leaning back on the sofa. "He hates them, but it can't be helped," he commented. Tails agreed; his tails flinching at the memory of Silver sinking his little sharp teeth on them that time the fox had to take a blood sample from the kid.
"I see," Tails answered after a couple of seconds. "How are things going between you two?" He got a surprised look from Shadow and then realized he had asked that out loud. He flushed in embarrassment. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't mean to be nosy, you don't have to tell me anything," he bowed his head in apology. Shadow blinked in confusion, but soon enough he was staring at Tails with understanding.
"I'm not angry," Shadow stated to try to calm the younger fox. It seemed to work, because Tails visibly relaxed at his words. "And, uh, well... we're doing fine."
If Tails was surprised that Shadow was confiding in him, he didn't show it.
"I suppose Sonic told you anything?" Shadow asked, curious as to why Tails asked about them before.
"No, he didn't, not at all," he stammered, again tense. "It's just that I've never seen Sonic happier in these last 5 years, he used to be an empty—" He bit his tongue on purpose, as if he had said something he shouldn't. Shadow flinched, and then glared at Tails with narrowed eyes.
"He what?" He asked.
Tails gulped, making way to a really tense silence that Shadow could only stand for five seconds.
"Tails, what—"
"Sonic, um, Sonic was a mess without you. I think you already know that." He looked away, as if trying to avoid the subject.
Shadow narrowed his eyes. "No, I don't."
Tails' tails sprung up in fear, like a cat's. He was so easy to read. "W-well, you see, he was... um... sad?" He said uneasily. Shadow's glare was enough to convince him to continue. "H-he..." Tails sighed in defeat. Shadow's ears perked up in interest. "He was depressed an entire month, w-waiting for you to come back I guess. We all did, though not like Sonic. He seemed fine after that, but me and Amy and even Knuckles could see..." He cleared his throat as if he had something stuck in it. "It was as if something inside him had died. He smiled and hung out with us, but it was like there was something fake behind it, like we were hanging out with a fake Sonic. It later became worse and he wouldn't even come out of his house unless someone was in danger or we dragged him out."
Shadow's gaze softened.
"D-don't think I'm telling you this to make you sad or guilty, it's in the past now," Tails apologized.
"I won't. Thanks for telling me," Shadow answered, deep in thought. Tails scolded himself mentally.
"No problem," Tails stuttered.
"You... you aren't mad at me, right?" The question took Tails by surprise.
"Mad? What are you talking about?" Tails asked, confused.
"Amy was mad at me that day Silver fell sick, remember? At first I didn't get it well, I thought Amy was exaggerating, but now I see why. I can't even imagine how Sonic must've felt those days." Shadow muttered.
"No, that's not— Ugh," Tails grabbed both sides of his head in frustration. "I was never mad. I know you had good reasons to leave, and as much as it hurt me to see him suffering, I can't say exactly that he didn't have it coming," he said more calmly.
"So you knew what he was doing."
"I told him a thousand times to stop avoiding you or else he'd regret it. Once you were gone, though, I couldn't bring myself to tell him 'I told you'. Not after seeing his face."
"I really thought he didn't want me anymore," Shadow mumbled sadly.
"Can't blame you. I'm glad you managed to move on, though. Silver's a nice kid," Tails smiled earnestly.
"Didn't Sonic try to move on?" Shadow asked curiously.
"Yeah, he started a relationship with his right hand," Tails joked, trying to lighten up the mood.
Shadow didn't laugh. Dang.
"... I see," he answered.
"I'm not really sure if he tried at all, I guessed that I shouldn't press him about the subject. Rushed things—"
"Tend to end badly," Shadow completed. Tails nodded.
"It's no use to think about that now, is it?" Tails subtly tried to end the conversation there. He was grateful to his computer when it beeped; the results were ready. "Let's see..." His eyes darted to the screen and stayed there for a long time.
Shadow tensed. "What does it say?"
"Well, you've managed to keep clean," Tails said with a smile.
"Really?" Shadow's eyes glinted with relief. Tails nodded.
"The more you interact with people, though, the more possibilities of catching a disease. I'm not saying this to scare you, it was—"
"An advice, I know," Shadow reassured. "I don't like being inside all day, either, so I'll be more careful."
"That's what I wanted to hear. So, Sonic's with Silver? I wonder how they are doing..."
Shadow shuddered ever so slightly.
Half an hour later, Sonic and Silver were back. Tails had a emergency meeting with a professor, so he couldn't stay long after greeting them. The fox was a little grateful for this, because he could see Silver glancing at his tails with a little too much interest.
"Wook, daddy, I was bwave and didn't cry," Silver showed Shadow his arm.
"I'm so proud of you," Shadow answered, holding Silver's arm with care.
"Yeah, it only took two tantrums and ten flying doctors to make him accept," Sonic added. Silver immediately protested. "Alright, I'm joking, this kid was calm the whole time," Sonic smirked in a teasingly. Silver puffed his cheeks at him.
"You must be hungry, let's go to grab something to eat," Shadow said, walking towards the kitchen. Silver followed him happily, Sonic a few steps behind. He remembered having half a chili dog waiting for him in the fridge.
"Did things go fine with Tails?" Sonic accidentally slipped while fetching his chili dog. He flinched at the sound of his own voice and almost dropped his snack. His eyes darted to Shadow, afraid of the consequences of his words.
What if things didn't go out well? This wasn't the right time to ask, you dumbass! He chided himself mentally.
Surprisingly for him, Shadow answered calmly: "Yes, thankfully I didn't catch anything this month."
"What were you not trying to catch, daddy? A bug?" Silver tilted his head in confusion. Sonic opened his mouth to agree and try to let the subject go, but Shadow went ahead of him:
"A disease." Sonic flinched, not expecting Shadow to be so direct. Silver tilted his head and looked at his dad in worry.
"Will daddy get sick?"
"No, it's... complicated, but I can't get sick."
Silver's eyes lit up in awe. "That's so cool! So that means you don't need shots?"
"Uh... I guess I don't. Not that kind of shots. I don't get sick but if I catch a disease I can pass it to someone else and that wouldn't be good," he explained. Silver stayed silent for a moment, trying to process the information.
"No good," he finally agreed.
"Alright, is somebody hungry? 'Cause I am," Sonic commented, trying to change the mood.
"Meee!" Silver squealed, running to the kitchen, but he soon came back and took both Sonic and Shadow's hands in his. "Let's go! I saw a chiwi dog in the fridge this mowning and I want it!"
Sonic's eyelids narrowed at the last statement. Over my dead body.
"Aw, Shads, you're so cruel!" Sonic pouted, while Silver devoured the rest of his chilidog, handed to him by Shadow no less.
"You're being childish," Shadow stated. "You eat at least half a dozen of these things a day, one less won't kill you. Actually, I'm doing you a favor by taking care of your health—"
"You care about my health?"
"Yes, and not only that." The immortal hedgehog answered quickly, and suddenly Sonic's face and dorky smile were mere centimeters from Shadow's, and the latter gulped, a blush starting to form on his ears when he realized what he had just said.
"I mean— O-o-o-of course I care! After all we're—" He bit his tongue to stop himself from saying more embarrassing things. And that damn stuttering...! Sonic's proximity didn't help one bit, he was about to say they were... Boyfriends? A couple? Something deeper? in front of Silver no less. His face and ears felt as if they were on fire.
"Well?" Sonic's tone became teasing. That little...!
"Daddy, Sonic wants to kiss you," Silver said as if it was nothing, only making Shadow's embarrassment grow. "He can't 'cause you're friends, right?"
You're not helping, Silver!Shadow's blush worsened, Sonic was still very close to him, and his knees felt like giving in at any moment.
"Enough!" He managed to protest, before pushing Sonic and his cheeky grin away. "Silver, w-we are more than friends now so we can kiss! But not in front of you! Adults don't k-kiss in front of little kids!" And that last statement was directed more towards Sonic.
Silver's mouth fell open in surprise, Sonic tried hard not to grin and appear serious and Shadow was dying from the embarrassment. Damn Sonic making him say stupid things. He made his way out of the kitchen with as much dignity he could save, which wasn't much.
"Uh... so you're dating or not?" Silver asked, not getting why his daddy got so upset. Was love hard to confess?
Sonic fetched another chili dog from the fridge and was about to give it one bite, but then remembered that Shadow did care about his health, so he handed the snack to Silver.
"Yup, pretty sure we are," he said before leaving the child and the chili dog to go look for Shadow to tease him more. And, if Silver gave them time, maybe kiss him.
When you're in a relationship with someone who wants things to go slowly you tend to notice every single progress, no matter how small it may seem, and Sonic could relate to that.
April came; two months after they visited Rouge's grave. Sonic could finally make out with Shadow— but only for a short while. Tongue kissing had to be moderate or else Shadow would end it there and that wasn't cool. Shadow on his part would congratulate Sonic whenever he was patient, which wasn't an easy feat considering that Sonic liked to go fast in every aspect of his life.
Just recently Shadow would go to Sonic's bedroom while Silver slept and lay next to Sonic, cuddling silently and caressing each other's back to sleep. Sonic had the feeling that soon they would be doing another kind of things in his bed, and the thought was enough to make him extremely excited... and nervous.
He really hoped not to ruin it this time. Shadow had more experience than him, after all, he had a kid, would Sonic be able to satisfy him? He now knew perfectly that watching porn and jerking off were completely different from the real deal. He needed to remember their first and so far only night together and atone for every mistake he made, but it was still so awkward!
Shadow's hands suddenly caressed his belly, and he cuddled closer, half asleep. He mumbled something close to "what's wrong" and Sonic gulped.
"Nothing Shads, go back to sleep," he whispered. Shadow didn't refuse, and Sonic almost let out a sigh of relief before going back to think about their first night.
Let's see... O-okay, I used a condom; that was good. And lube, 'cause it was necessary. I went all the way in without even preparing him, though, and—Damn! I didn't return the blowjob, I was such a jerk! We didn't even cuddle when we finished, ugh! I... I really was a jerk. And I avoided him after that, no wonder he left me...
His hold on Shadow tightened, as if he was afraid of losing him again. He still couldn't believe that he had Shadow back in his embrace. If Shadow ever chose to leave him again, he would be devastated.
Uh, so, where was I? I didn't return the blowjob; that was the first mistake. I need to make it up to him... But how? I haven't been with anyone since he left me... How can I learn how to do that without being unfaithful? No, Sonic, get a hold of yourself, you can't possibly... No, Sonic! Man up! Don't you wanna see Shadow's face when you're doingstuffto him? Don't you wanna see him actuallyenjoyingit? I bet it looks so sexy, everything in Shadow is—
"Sonic," Shadow called, startling him.
"You're sexy alright?!" Sonic exclaimed without previous thought. He immediately facepalmed inwardly, while his muzzle and ears grew redder than Shadow's stripes. Speaking of the latter, he was looking at him with the most confused expression ever.
"... O-okay?" He muttered after the longest seconds in Sonic's life.
"I— I didn't mean it..." Sonic countered, but when Shadow raised an eyebrow at him he realized his mistake. "No! I mean I think you're... you're attractive alright," he lowered his gaze, unable to keep eye contact anymore. This was so embarrassing. "And I think you're sexy it's just that I didn't want to say it out loud, you get it?"
"Why are you thinking of such things this late at night?" If Sonic hadn't had his gaze on the bed sheets he'd surely have seen Shadow blushing too.
"It's just...we've been doing a lot of stuff lately..."
"Oh, is that a bad thing? Do you want to hang out with your friends more? I don't have a problem with that," Shadow answered, not understanding what Sonic meant with 'stuff'.
"What? No, it's totally fine! I couldn't be happier with the way things are going, I just... was thinking..."
"About what?" Shadow sighed, growing impatient.
"We'll one day end up doing the same thing that split us five years ago," Sonic squeezed his eyelids shut, as if preparing for something to attack him. There was another long silence that, to his surprise, was broken by Shadow's arms surrounding him in a warm hug.
"You idiot," he muttered, before breaking the contact. Even though the room was dark, Sonic could feel Shadow's gaze softening on him.
"Uh... thanks?" He finally said, he couldn't fight that fact. Shadow shook his head.
"I agree that it wasn't the best experience," Shadow said.
Just what my ego needed, Sonic thought sourly.
"... But we can learn from it. It's something so intimate and special, but we can't read each other minds and know what to do next. We gotta be honest and hope for the best," his hand reached out to Sonic's and grasped it gently. Sonic let his words sink in. "And if it doesn't work out the first time, we can try again and again, right?"
Sonic smiled. "Yeah," he reassured. He wondered if Rouge had taught those words to Shadow, but knew it was better not to say it out loud. Nevertheless, Shadow was right.
"Let's go slowly," Shadow stated, and Sonic nodded before falling asleep.
Things between the couple had gone pretty calm since then. Calm and chaste.
They would spend most of the time with Silver or Tails or Amy, playing or chatting and, oh how could he forget? Beating Eggman whenever he tried to take over the world. They worked as a team now, to make up for Sonic's new speed limit. Sonic found himself liking this change. Silver couldn't contain his awe whenever he got to see them on TV, and soon he was asking his father to let him go with them and beat bad guys. To say Shadow was torn between pride for his child following a noble path and the worry brought by the thought of sending a young kid to risk his life for the sake of innocents (followed by the fear that every parent has of losing a child, but more intense) was an understatement. He even looked a little depressed whenever the subject was brought up and Silver, always so perceptive, soon stopped asking, but Sonic could tell by the longing in his eyes that he wanted to grow up and be a hero as soon as possible.
One night, when Sonic was coming home tired from a week long quest to stop one of Eggman's robots causing ruckus in Chun-nan, Shadow greeted him back with a nice make-out session. Sadly, Sonic could barely last three minutes before falling asleep. When he woke up, he found Shadow sat next to him, with an expression akin to disappointment.
"I missed you," Shadow whispered, his face turning neutral. Sonic gulped, remembering the events of last night.
"I fell asleep, didn't I?"
Shadow nodded. "You even snored all night."
"Oops, sorry," Sonic averted his gaze, embarrassed. He had probably lost a chance to score.
"It's nothing. I don't really need to sleep that much, but... It's nice to lay next to you," Shadow scooted closer to him. "I should have known you'd be tired." Sonic took a deep breath.
"I'm not tired anymore, you know," He invited, reaching for a kiss that ended in Shadow's cheek instead of lips.
"Hmph, Silver must be awake now," As if on cue, both adults heard Silver's cheery voice and footsteps through the hall, asking for breakfast. Sonic sighed in defeat.
Shadow, noticing Sonic's disappointment, nudged him. "Hey, maybe this night I can properly greet you back."
Sonic's ears perked up in excitement. Surely they wouldn't go all the way, but something in Shadow's gaze told him they would try something new today.
Silver opened the door, and his big golden eyes shone with happiness when he spotted Sonic.
"Sowneek!" He exclaimed, running towards him and jumping on the bed to hug him. "I missed you!" His smile faltered a little. "Daddy said we couldn't go with you 'cuz it would take too much," he pouted.
"I missed you too, kiddo," Sonic's hand patted his quills. "And your dad's right. It took a lot of time to track that robot 'cause whenever it attacked a town it'd disappear before me and Tails got there. It was better to stay here."
Silver's pout didn't falter. "My daddy was worried about you, Sowneek," Sonic could feel Shadow becoming tense.
"T-that's enough, Sil—"
"He always went here and look worried and sigh and wonder when you would come back, he didn't say it but I know! He was thinking a lot about you Sowneek, but now that you're here he's all happy inside," he beamed, while his father's cheeks turned beet-red. Sonic didn't have much time to dwell on the matter because he felt his stomach growl.
"We should go for breakfast," Shadow got up first and walked through the door, embarrassed by Silver's statement. Soon the younger hedgehogs followed him.
After they had breakfast, Shadow sent Silver to watch TV, which meant that he wanted to speak to Sonic in private. Having a child with psychic powers, the concept of 'private talk' would seem absurd, and it was, until Shadow casually discovered that Silver wondered why he couldn't detect the emotions of the people he saw on TV and tried 'extra hard' to figure out what was going through their minds, and thus couldn't notice anyone else's emotions or thoughts.
Once Silver sat on the couch and put his 'extra focused' glare on the screen (which displayed a random talk show) Shadow turned to Sonic and said:
"I just realized I can't have sex with you while Silver's in the house."
Sonic almost flinched at the bluntness of his words. "Huh? Why? Can't we just make him watch TV...?" His request died when Shadow's deadly glare met his eyes.
"He won't watch TV all night. He can barely stand ten minutes."
Sonic bit his tongue to prevent any comment about quickies. "Huh, but why is his presence a problem now? You had no trouble kissing—"
"Sex is a different matter!" Shadow hissed, blushing furiously.
"So I assume you didn't do stuff with Rouge after he was born because of his powers?" He blurted out; the frustration of being denied any sexual activity just after Shadow got his hopes up this morning overcame him.
Shadow tensed a little, before calming himself down with a deep breath.
"Sorry," Sonic mumbled, casting his eyes down.
"Silver didn't show any sign of mind-reading until Rouge died," Shadow sighed, and Sonic felt like a bigger idiot. "I just don't want him walking in on us."
"Look, uh, it's alright, we can lock the door while he's asleep—"
"And what if he hears what we are doing, or even worse, what we're thinking?" Shadow countered, "I don't know the accuracy of his powers but I don't want to find out that way." He paused, waiting for Sonic's answer, but he was frozen in his place with his mouth hung open in absolute dumbfounding, so he continued. "A-And I don't trust myself to be quiet either," he glanced downwards, his tone softening.
"So... Should we leave him at Amy's or something?" Sonic finally suggested.
"It doesn't feel right. It's not like it's an emergency."
It is for me!Sonic thought, impatient, and suddenly an idea popped in his head. "I know! We could go on a date—"
"Date?" Shadow interrupted, blushing even darker than when talking about sex. Sonic grew nervous too.
"Uh, y-yeah. If you want. We could go out for dinner or movies or even for a walk," he asked awkwardly, suddenly realizing that in all their months of dating they didn't actually do something out as a couple, like they did when they were together five years ago, unless visiting Shadow's dead wife counted like 'going out'.
"Oh, and then we're supposed to have sex," Shadow stated, but seeing Sonic's surprised and blushing stare made him regret his words. "Huh, wasn't that what you meant by going out?" He almost stuttered. This conversation had gotten so embarrassing!
"I-I did! At first. Then I remembered we haven't done anything as a couple and, you know... Maybe you're right, we should take things slowly."
"Oh, I thought..."
"Yeah, it's a good excuse," Sonic nodded awkwardly. "One day we can tell Amy to come over and look after Silver because we're going out for dinner so she won't suspect we're actually going to a hotel—"
"That's—" Shadow interrupted, but Sonic continued.
"But I don't feel like doing that today. We should catch up with each other, so, uh, would you like going out for dinner... For real?" Their eyes met and Sonic couldn't help the heat in his face. He felt like the first time he asked Shadow out. Unnecessarily nervous. There was even that long silence that Shadow made back then! "If you don't want—"
"I do," Shadow said at the same time, his stare becoming intense. "I'd love to go out with you, tonight," he specified, a hint of a smile tugging at his lips. Sonic barely had time to rejoice, because suddenly a sound akin to an explosion filled their ears.
They rushed to the living room, worried about Silver. Thankfully, the little hedgehog was fine, but a little startled and covered from head to toe in ash. The TV had exploded.
Shadow quickly picked Silver up to check on him better, asking what happened or if he was alright over and over.
Sonic silently mourned his new ultra-expensive LED TV.
"I twied ex-twa ex-twa hard this time," Silver stressed, while his father wiped the grime off his face. "I dunno why it went boom", but the adults already knew why. This only meant that they couldn't make Silver watch TV to have privacy anymore.
Shadow sighed. "You need a bath," before heading upstairs, Shadow glanced at Sonic. "Don't worry, I'll pay for another."
Sigh. Was I too obvious? Sonic thought as he watched Silver being taken to the bathroom.
Amy was delighted to take care of Silver, especially since Sonic had confirmed her that indeed he and Shadow were a thing now. Angry reprimands for not telling her sooner aside, her Boys-Love-fangirl persona went crazy at the thought of helping the couple be alone.
"Are you guys sure you wanna go out for dinner? I mean, I'd gladly cook for you if you want," she teasingly offered as soon as she got to Sonic's house.
"Thanks, Ames, but no thanks," Sonic quickly refused her as politely as he could with the nausea that came over him at the thought of Amy's cooking before Shadow even had the chance to consider it. "You see, I wanna spend some quality-time alone with Shadow,"
"Oh! You're going to a hotel!" She exclaimed with an innocent smile that didn't belong there. Sonic and Shadow stared at her like fishes out of water, clearly embarrassed.
"N-N-NO! Why would you think that?!" Sonic answered, with a nervous grin that looked more like a facial tic. Amy's smile turned perverted, paired with a trail of blood coming from her nostrils.
"Huh? Why wouldn't I?" She said. "I thought that was your intention. You can always eat here."
Sonic cleared his throat. "Um, yeah, but it's not the same. Will you help us or not?"
Amy nodded happily. "I'm always rooting for you guys!"
"Alright. Silver's napping upstairs but he'll wake up soon. There's already food for him so you don't need to cook anything," Sonic shuddered.
"Make sure he eats it all, he already took a bath so no need for that either, help him brush his teeth because he's still learning, don't let him stay up too late, oh and don't let him convince you to give him sweets," Shadow continued where Sonic left off, and Amy couldn't help but stare at them with something akin to amazement.
It's like Sonic was Silver's parent all along! She thought. Soon the couple left and Amy decided to spend the time she had left before Silver woke up watching TV.
"Huh? Where's that big-ass TV that Sonic was boasting about?"
To Sonic's surprise, the date went better than expected. Shadow had smiled whenever Sonic brought up a memory of their first dates instead of getting nostalgic, he even had teased Sonic for acting like a shy schoolgirl sometimes. When the waiter brought their food, he had slipped over and all the (thankfully just warm) food ended on Sonic's head. This wasn't a bad thing, on the contrary, Shadow had worried about him for at least three seconds before Sonic and the rest of the restaurant heard the most wonderful sound in the world: Shadow's snorting before bursting in laughter.
Sonic stared at him dumbfounded, while Shadow tried and failed to stop laughing. He covered his mouth to at least muffle the loud noises, but a quick glance at his eyes could tell Sonic that he had really needed a good laugh. He deserved it.
"I'm sorry," Shadow muttered between breaths, trying to calm himself while the waiter cleaned the mess. "It's just— you looked very funny." Suddenly he seemed a lot younger, less tired.
Sonic smiled at him. What he wouldn't do for Shadow to smile and laugh more often. Shadow seemed embarrassed when they left the restaurant, though. He had been really loud, after all.
When they got home, they found a bored-looking Amy waiting for them at the couch.
"Silver fell asleep about an hour ago. I didn't find any TV so I spent the night talking to Cream with your phone. Sorry about the phone bill," she added sheepishly. "Uh, so... Why is there no TV?"
Sonic contained the urge to roll his eyes. "Long story."
Mother's Day came and the three hedgehogs went to visit Rouge and leave her white roses. The snow had melted long ago and, to their amazement, a beautiful garden surrounded Rouge. Even more amazing was the fact that 123-Omega claimed to have nothing to do with the flowers, as he had never left Rouge's side.
A month later, Sonic and Silver made sure to give Shadow the best Father's Day to date. How? With an all-paid trip to Chun-nan. Sonic had teared up (he insisted that something got in his eye though) when Silver also wished him a happy Father's Day and hugged his leg.
When August 23rd came and they visited Rouge again, for an entire year had passed since she left this world, Sonic could swear he felt a hand on his back as they went home. For some reason (if it was a ghost's touch) it felt warm like the summer.
No date of theirs was like the other. Sonic would try to make every one of them as unique as possible until he ran out of ideas; of course they got out like that just once a week so it would be a long time until that happened.
Another month went by quickly, until one day of early October Shadow reminded Sonic that he owed him a proper greeting, and Sonic, so excited that even he even wagged his tail, called Amy to see if she could look over Silver that night.
The pink hedgehog immediately noticed the eagerness in Sonic's voice, knew there was only one explanation for that. "Hmm, I dunno, I was thinking about going shopping with some friends..." She smirked; she could always make some space in her plans but she wanted to see how desperate Sonic was.
"Aww, c'mon Ames," Amy could already hear him growing impatient. "Can't you make an exception?" He insisted.
"Sonic, it's alright, we can ask another day—" Amy heard Shadow say.
"Shh! I'm making business here, Shads!" Amy snickered at Sonic's failure to cover the phone's speaker. "Pretty please? I'll even double your pay," he said. Amy snorted, a big smile on her face.
"Eh... I'm afraid that won't do."
"Huh? Then what? Just ask."
"I want a video," Amy had to contain her laughter.
"A video? Sure thing, but... What are you talking about? What video?"
"A video of you two doing the do, obviously!" Amy exclaimed, and there was a long pause. For a moment Amy thought that maybe she had gone a bit too far and that Sonic would hang up, but then he spoke, in a whisper:
"Amy, you know I can't give you that," Amy could tell he was embarrassed, and erupted in laughter. In that moment Sonic realized he was being messed with. "Amy! This is serious!"
Amy wiped a tear off her eye. "Serious, huh? You sound like a perv!"
"P-Perv?!"
"Uh-huh. I know what you're planning! You are going to a hotel for real!"
"Amy, you're making it awkward..."
"But don't worry, I can go check on Silver!"
"Oh, thanks a lot then—"
"Is the offer of doubling my pay still up?" Amy asked with a sheepish tone. Only silence followed her words. "I'll take that as a no," she sighed.
"We'll be waiting for you at seven o'clock," Sonic answered.
"So, are you ready for what's next?" Shadow whispered against Sonic's lips, both panting from an intense and unusually rough kissing session. At first it felt awkward to be in such an unfamiliar place, but once Shadow took the first step and kissed Sonic everything felt natural.
Sonic nodded as if his entire life depended on it. Shadow nodded back, and told Sonic to sit on the edge of the bed. Sonic obliged to his every command, gulping when Shadow kneeled in front of him. He was about to spread his legs, when suddenly and idea struck him.
He stopped Shadow's hand before it touched his crotch. The older hedgehog didn't have time to feel rejected, because Sonic spoke:
"Let me... Let me do it to you," his eyes met the red ones, which now expressed surprise. "I owed it to you, remember?"
Shadow's eyes widened even more. "I— It's not necessary—"
"I insist. Let me make it up to you, Shadow," Sonic's gaze on him felt so intense that Shadow had to break eye contact to not be overwhelmed by it.
A long silence followed, until Shadow nodded with a little smile, and both switched positions.
"Tell me if I'm doing anything wrong," Sonic's eyes met his again.
Shadow nodded, that little smile never leaving his lips. "I will."
Sonic's bare hand reached Shadow's crotch, and stayed there, unsure of what to do next. Shadow, noticing his insecurity, put his hand over Sonic's, guiding its movements.
"Look at me," he asked, and Sonic's head sprang up immediately.
Sonic watched in wonder as Shadow's muzzle grew redder and his pupils dilated. Soon he felt Shadow's shaft around his hand, and his beloved's hand leaving his. Shadow's breathing became labored, and his hands gripped the sheets tightly. It was a very arousing sight for Sonic, as he unconsciously licked his lips.
"It feels good when you rub on the underside," Shadow panted, and Sonic's fingers moved to that spot. Shadow shivered, and Sonic thought for a moment that he did something wrong. "Keep going," Shadow encouraged, and Sonic felt stupid.
Oh right, a shiver of pleasure. He continued his ministrations until he decided that it was time to use his mouth. Shadow, amidst his pleasure, noticed what Sonic was about to do, and panicked a little.
"Sonic, wait!" He grabbed Sonic's face, stopping him before his lips reached his manhood. Now it was Sonic's turn to feel rejected.
"You don't want it?"
Shadow choked with his own breath. "I do!" He managed to say, feeling his muzzle getting hotter. "Just... Give me a warning next time,"
Sonic nodded, staring intently at Shadow, who was trying to steady his breathing. When he was ready, he nodded back and Sonic's mouth reached for his erection and kissed the tip. Shadow let out a small moan.
"Should I lick it?"
Shadow's hands reached for Sonic's head, caressing it gently. "Yes, yes, please..." His voice was now laced with desire and Sonic couldn't resist it. He grabbed the base of Shadow's cock and dared to give it the first lick. To his surprise, it wasn't so bad. Shadow tasted unique. He continued licking its form, fueled by Shadow's lusty sounds.
When he tried to put it in his mouth, Shadow's voice rose, and his hands grasped his head as if it was a lifeline.
"Sonic—"
Without further ado, Sonic's mouth went down. Shadow sucked in a breath, and Sonic felt his thighs trembling under his roaming hands. When Sonic tried to suck, Shadow gasped and tried to contain himself from bucking his hips. This continued for a handful of minutes, until Shadow whispered something akin to 'I'm close' and Sonic debated whether it was a good idea to make Shadow come in his mouth. Would he be able to take it?
Shadow, as if noticing his inner turmoil, grasped his head and gently pulled him away. "You aren't ready for that yet," he stated. Sonic sighed in defeat; Shadow was right. "We'll go slowly, remember?" Sonic nodded.
"Can I at least make you cum?" Sonic asked, his hands caressing Shadow's thighs.
"Of course, but only if you let me do the same for you when you're finished."
"Deal."
Silver's fourth birthday came and every adult he knew spoiled him rotten that day. Amy even got him a brand new SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG (only eighty bucks!) plushie to match with the SONIC one he got the year before.
Within that span of time, Sonic would learn more about Shadow's body and where to touch, and last but not least: his stamina was increasing! Now he could last two orgasms and only feel a little tired, not sleepy. In turn, Shadow grew bolder and trusted Sonic more, not to mention he was more relaxed.
Sonic knew that it was a matter of days before they went all the way, and he was even more eager than ever. The different classes of lubes and condoms inside his nightstand knew that well.
He would now have dreams about it happening, but they were more weird than hot. And that was an understatement. One of them involved Shadow actually being a nymphomaniac who wouldn't let him go for anything in the world until Sonic's hips were completely shattered.
The one he was having right now even weirder: somehow the condom had broken and a very dramatic Shadow was holding six babies that were miniature versions of Shadow and him. Sonic stared in shock as his boyfriend handed him one baby that, judging by his glare, hated his guts.
He woke up with a scream after Silver appeared behind Shadow's leg and called him a pervert.
Shadow was next to him, staring him with worry, which only was increased when Sonic suddenly pulled him close and started to grope his abdomen. Shadow immediately shoved him away, asking what was wrong.
"You can't get pregnant, can you?" Sonic exclaimed, grabbing Shadow by the arms and shaking him slightly. Shadow growled in annoyance, just before Sonic's words sank in.
"SONIC, WHAT. THE. HELL." He said in the most pissed off tone ever.
"Is that a no?" Sonic still seemed pretty shaken, which made Shadow try to calm himself.
"No, Sonic, I can't and don't know what made you think that," Shadow huffed.
"Are you sure?"
"Sonic," Shadow grunted, before pinching his frown in frustration. "I have no means to do that. No womb, no ovaries, no—"
"Alright, I got it. I just thought... Since you're the ultimate lifeform or something," Sonic mumbled, looking downwards. Shadow's gaze on him softened.
"You had a bad dream," he stated.
"It was about you getting pregnant," Sonic admitted, but the silence that followed wasn't of his liking. He looked at Shadow and noticed a sad tint in his eyes.
"I see..."
Sonic gulped, ordering his brain to think a way to fix the situation. "I-I-It's not like I don't want a kid w-with you! S-Silver is great, and you... I-I wouldn't mind having kids with you if you could get pregnant you know— It's just that in the dream you had like six of them and I panicked!"
Shadow blinked twice at Sonic while the younger hedgehog continued rambling. For the first time in months, he allowed himself to deem it cute.
"I don't know if Silver sees me as a parent, though... I don't wanna replace Rouge or anything and I think he sees me more as a friend or uncle but still—"
Shadow's lips on his silenced him. After what seemed an eternity, Shadow broke the kiss, leaving an astounded hedgehog in front of him.
"Males can't get pregnant, though I must admit that I impregnated Rouge through her mouth," Shadow said casually. Sonic stared at him like a fish out of water.
"What?! How?!"
"Well, she had hopes of us getting back together so she taught me how to do a blowjob the only way she could—"
"Not that!" Sonic squeezed his eyelids, trying to get rid of the hot mental image that invaded him. "I mean, that's not possible! You must have had real sex not much later, that must be—"
Shadow rubbed his chin, deep in thought. "Actually, we didn't. We were both shocked. Then we had sex."
Sonic's eyes looked like as if they were about to pop out at any minute.
"You can't be serious..."
"... Of course I'm not being serious," Shadow released a chuckle, and Sonic gasped, indignant.
"Shads! That was mean!"
"Your nose is bleeding!" Shadow protested, not wanting to know what lascive thoughts went through Sonic's head.
"You scared me! You know I swallowed it!"
"Can't I ever joke?"
"You can, but it makes me horny!" Sonic wiped the blood off his face.
"You pervert..." Shadow sighed. "To be honest, the first part was true..."
"About getting back together?" Sonic's ears perked up. Shadow nodded, averting his gaze.
"That and the blowjob part— can't you control your lust for a minute?!" He threw a pillow to Sonic's face when he saw his nostrils bleeding again.
"Sorry!"
"Sonic..."
"Huh?"
"You mean a lot to me and Silver, never forget that."
Sonic smiled in relief. "Never."
"What do you mean with 'we haven't gone all the way yet, Amy'?!" Said pink hedgehog exclaimed through the phone. Sonic had to move the phone away from his ear or else he'd be deaf by now.
"Shh!" He managed to answer back. Just ten seconds before, they had been talking about Amy's obsession with BL and Sonic slipped that fact when Amy said 'you 'go out' with Shadow at least four times a month, you must know a lot about those things now'. "We're getting there, slowly but surely," he said in a hushed tone, wanting to hang up as soon as possible.
Another surprised gasp from Amy. "But that's so not like you! Tee hee, you must really be in love!" Her tone became cheery. "I'm so proud of you! Unless... You are the one chickening out, aren't you!?"
"I'm hanging up!" Sonic felt his eyelid twitch.
"Okay, okay I'm joking! Jeez. So... When are you gonna do it? 'Cause I want all the details."
"Amy, I'd never tell you those kind of things! Moreover, why am I talking about this with you?"
"Not my fault you have a big mouth, Sonikku!" She giggled. "I hope you put it to good use!"
Sonic tried to compose himself: the only reason he put up with her antics was because Tails and Knuckles were all 'haha, NOPE' when asked to look after Silver and Shadow didn't want a stranger to interact with his son without him to supervise it.
"Anyways, I was hoping that you could come over—"
"See?! I was right! You're planning to hit a home run with him this time?" Her voice was so sweet it was creepy.
"T-That's not your business! Are you coming or not?" So much for Sonic to be patient.
"'Kay, 'kay. I'll be there at seven!" And she hung up.
There was a feeling in Sonic's gut that somehow what Amy said could become true tonight. After all, they had gotten really far by now. Heck, Shadow even let him finger him as long as he had lubricant. Also, he had become really touchy lately, allowing Sonic to hug him in front of Silver. The little hedgehog would immediately join them, usually tackling Sonic.
"Did you call Amy?" Shadow would ask later. "I feel like going somewhere today..."
"Yup, already done that," Sonic smiled.
"Good, because there's this restaurant that Amy recommended me days ago; she said the food in there is exactly like hers and I want to try it—"
Sonic's muzzle turned green.
"Shads, you're joking, huh? Hahah. You can stop now."
"I'm afraid I'm not. After that we can do anything you'd like," he smiled at the nauseous-looking hedgehog.
"Anything?" Sonic's face lit up in an instant. Shadow resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He knew what Sonic meant.
"Just don't forget the lube or condoms," he answered. It was Sonic's turn to fight the urge to hug him. He'd look too desperate.
With a delicious moan Shadow came inside Sonic's mouth, collapsing on the bed and trying to even his breathing. Sonic licked him clean while he was still sensitive from his orgasm, eliciting more moans from him.
"Ha-aah..." Shadow whimpered when Sonic licked his way towards his face, and tongue kissed him. Shadow tried his best to dominate it, but Sonic's hand travelled back to his crotch and made it much more difficult to keep up with him.
When they separated, they stared at each other's eyes, pupils blown wide by desire and both mouths panting against each other, trying to catch their breath.
Both spoke at the same time.
"I love you," and suddenly both sets of eyes expressed surprise. Sonic's tail wagged in happiness. He would tease Shadow about this later. For now he preferred to devour Shadow's mouth again.
Shadow moaned into the kiss, feeling glad he finally got those words out of his mind. He hadn't meant to say them in that moment, but that didn't make them less true.
"I love you," he repeated, once Sonic's lips left his. Sonic nuzzled him, his gaze never leaving Shadow.
"Say it again," Sonic panted, his hand massaging Shadow's cock again.
"I—ngh, love you," Shadow obliged. Sonic had the sweetest smile on his face.
"Till I die," Sonic added, kissing him again.
"Sonic..." Shadow murmured, suddenly feeling emotional. He couldn't say the same.
The blue hedgehog took Shadow's legs and spread them. He separated from Shadow to reach for the lube and condoms on the nightstand.
As he coated his fingers in lube, Shadow said:
"I'll love you all my life." It sounded more like a sob, and Shadow hated it.
"Woah, won't you try and meet someone else?" Sonic asked, a little too amused for Shadow's liking.
"No," Shadow frowned and averted his gaze, like a spoiled child. The tears threatening to escape his eyes didn't help.
"I see," Sonic kissed them away; both knew that Shadow would have to move on sooner or later but he deemed it cute that he said that. "As long as I have a place in your heart I don't care how small it is," he admitted, before sliding one slick finger inside of Shadow.
Shadow gasped in pleasure as Sonic's finger moved in an out, curling upwards to meet his prostate. Soon another finger joined it, in a scissoring motion. Sonic patiently fingered him to orgasm.
"Sonic..." The older hedgehog whispered when he came to from his high. "We didn't go all the way..."
"I know."
"I thought you wanted it."
Sonic shrugged, still smiling. "Eh, I can wait."
"I can't," Shadow said just before pinning Sonic down. Sonic looked really surprised.
Woah, I didn't think using inverse psychology would actually work, Sonic mused.
"Uh... Shads? Are you sure?" He asked to reassure himself as his lover straddled his hips and rubbed his cock against Sonic's.
"Are you?"
Yep, he is sure, Sonic thought with a smile, as he nodded.
Sonic had already come once that night, so Shadow didn't want to push his luck and make him orgasm again before his cock went inside him.
Sonic trembled at the feel of Shadow pouring lube on his hard-rock erection, before grabbing it to guide it towards his loosened ring of muscles. Sonic even got on his elbows to get a better view, which made Shadow blush a little.
The tip brushed Shadow's entrance, making both hedgehogs moan at the feel. Shadow felt perfect, and he wasn't even all the way in. Shadow sucked in a breath and went down slowly, bracing himself for any pain to come but to his surprise it wasn't that bad. Once Sonic was completely inside him, Shadow needed an entire minute to adjust to it and calm his breathing.
Sonic, on the other hand, wasn't even thinking anymore about the mistakes he needed to atone from that first night with Shadow. All he could focus on was how enticing Shadow looked, taking control of the situation as his chest rose up and down in a perfect rhythm. Sooner than he expected, Shadow started to move his hips up and down, slowly. The way his hole hugged his shaft felt delicious. It was tight and warm and Sonic loved it.
Shadow increased the speed of his love-making at the right time, until he was practically bouncing on Sonic's cock, his panting mouth open wide and a thread of saliva escaping it. Sonic would have stayed like an idiot just looking at him if it wasn't for Shadow taking his hands and guiding one towards his hips while he intertwined his fingers with the other. Sonic blinked in astonishment as their eyes met.
"Don't stare like that. Help me out," Shadow breathed out, and Sonic finally reacted, holding his hand back and nodding in acknowledgement.
Their pace quickened, now with Sonic's hips meeting Shadow's whenever they went down, which sent both hedgehogs on edge. With their fast movements, it was only a matter of seconds before both came.
Shadow collapsed on top of Sonic, both hedgehogs breathing hard.
"Shads..." Sonic panted, noticing their hands were still intertwined. Shadow hummed in response. "We didn't use a condom..." He realized. Shadow's head sprang up, suddenly more awake than ever.
"Really...?"
Sonic hesitatingly nodded. He was a little scared of Shadow's reaction so it was a big surprise when Shadow only sighed and looked at the cum dripping out of his hole, as his tail wagged.
"Oh, well... Tails said I was clean so... I don't mind not using it anymore. I'll ask him for check on my blood more often, though."
Sonic let his head fall on the bed, letting out a deep sigh of relief.
"That's good, 'cause I don't feel like using one ever again," he said. Shadow nuzzled him before laying at his side, never letting go of his hand. For now everything was in peace and Sonic couldn't ask for something better.
So I dusted off my old cellphone and managed to write the last 7000 words of this chapter. Dunno why, it seems inspiration hits me better while on the phone. On this blackberry that can barely do shit, it's good for focusing because it can't browse the net anymore without it resetting. Why not write on the pc, you say? When I'm on the pc I feel like doing other things, like drawing and wasting my time on gaiaonline. Hue. I'll probably edit this later because it's pretty late in my country but for now this is all folks! Dunno what will come next. An epilogue maybe? The story seems pretty finished to me so... There's a chance. I dunno. If I do it it will have no mpreg haha. but not too big. Meanwhile enjoy the more than 10000 words I wrote for this chapter.
Whenever I get to watch gay porn and they're using condoms I'm like "Thumbs up for you! Safe sex FTW!" LOL. I'm eighteen now so I can watch it, don't judge me.
Hope you have great holidays! I'm not excited about mine. I'm never excited. This year hasn't been exactly good... But hey 2016's gonna have great movies! Pray for me to have a good college life, too ;w;
BTW Have you noticed how I included "The child and the chili dog" in a paragraph? LOL.
XMAS SMUT FTW WOOOOOO I'm so going to Hell. I'm even listening to Gospel which makes it worse, LOL. Thanks for all your reviews, favs and follows so far and I hope you all have great holidays and don't mess with the Carl Poppa!
