It was dark by the time the two hedgehogs made it over to Windmill Isle, barely beating the ominous clouds that loomed over the Apotos coast. Once they arrived, Shadow was pleasantly surprised at the small offshore city and its unusual appearance. The sandy white buildings were simple and geometric, with smooth curved rooftops rounding off the edges. Doors, fences, and window frames were trimmed a dazzling blue, painted with the abundant Lapis Lazuli gems found along the rocky coast. Waterways and fountains were covered in tropical vegetation, the plants adding a lovely accent to the sunny seaside town.
Sonic however, seemed a bit disgruntled by the storm once they arrived at the local inn, complaining that he wanted Shadow to see the beautiful isle in the daytime and without 'this crappy weather'. They had beaten the storm to Apotos, but didn't arrive at the inn until much later and both hedgehogs were soaked to the bone from the relentless rain. The owner thankfully was a good sport and allowed the two hedgehogs to stay in one of her best rooms, given the hotel was rather empty around the Fall season.
The room itself was pretty basic its creamy white walls with blue trim; the signature look of Windmill Isle decor. A blue striped bed sat at the far end of the room, a blue dresser with a Flatscreen above it on the other. The nightstand and side table were covered in local seashells, surrounding azure candles that smelled vaguely like the ocean breeze. Sheer white curtains flowed gently in the balcony entrance, Sonic leaving the glass door open for some air before he went downstairs.
Shadow decided to light a few of the candles and keep the lamps off as he watched TV, much like Sonic had done before back at his apartment. The earthy scent of rainwater and artificial candles were relaxing, and the dark hedgehog could feel himself starting to drift off to sleep.
"Surprise.~" Sonic's voice whispered somewhere above him. Shadow ignored it, opting to go back to sleep, until a sharp fruity scent drifted under his nose. He blinked rapidly and was blinded by an assault of whipped cream, pocky, and little chocolate dipped fruits.
"What's this?"
"It's ice cream, duh."
"Isn't it a little late for ice cream?"
Sonic shrugged and walked over to the balcony, taking small licks of his own sundae as he carried Shadow's with him.
"Fine be that way, but I have room for two of these ya know--"
"The hell you do, give it here." Shadow growled quickly following him and taking the second one for himself. The hero chuckled, knowing all too well how to push his rival's buttons. He leaned on the balcony rails, gazing out over the wet rainy landscape with a wry smile.
"I'm sad you couldn't see this place in the morning, it's beautiful. The white and blue is so bright, and right over the ocean? Just Fantastic!"
"It's alright," Shadow replied, taking a bite out of his ice cream.
"It's still beautiful even at night in a storm."
"Dude, did you just bite that whole thing? You're supposed to lick it, you know that right? Chaos, that can hurt your teeth."
"Biting gets me to the bottom faster. I enjoy the cone far more than the ice cream."
"That's weird. You're weird." Sonic replied, popping one of the strawberries into his mouth. The sundae was starting to melt a little and he didn't want to waste it.
"What compelled you to get ice cream this late?"
"Oh, I wanted to eat it with you. Its called a chocolate chip cream sundae supreme; the best ice cream in Apotos. Chip and I had this exact ice cream cone our first time here."
A foreign, anxious feeling creeped along Sonic's energy.
"Who is Chip?"
"Easy there, Shads, no need to get all hot and bothered by it. Chip was just a friend of mine."
Shadow breathed out slowly and averted his eyes, embarrassment radiating off of him in waves through their bond. He could feel Sonic's Chaos energy bubbling and giddy, seemingly entertained by his rival's unnecessary aggression.
"What happened to him?" Shadow asked softly trying to change the subject.
"Oh well...you know when the planet broke? For like...a few days?"
"That was you?" The ultimate life form shook his head in disbelief.
"Chaos, what am I saying, of course it was you. Continue."
"Heh, yeah it was yours truly. Anyway, it turns out Eggman woke up these two gods Light and Dark Gaia, and Chip was the Light one. But before that, I just called him Chip. He helped me out when I got turned into a werehog--"
"You what."
"Long story short, he was my friend, but he had to go back to where he belonged. Though we had a good time, coming to Apotos always made me kinda sad? I guess I didn't want to get bummed out when I came here so I was really hoping when I brought you it was nice and sunny."
The blue hedgehog shrugged slightly, finishing the last of his sundae. He realized Shadow was done a long time ago and suddenly became self conscious that he had been talking a little too long.
"I dunno, I guess I'm weird."
"Why do you say that in a bad way? Yet when you refer to me, you say 'weird' fondly?" Shadow asked resting on the balcony beside him.
"Because you're 'weird' as in quirky." Sonic said leaning in and kissing Shadow's cheek playfully.
"The stuff you do is so cute and awkward and you don't even notice, and it cracks me up. I like that part of you."
"Um. Thanks?" The dark hedgehog replied, an annoyed grimace flashing briefly on his face. He looked up at the dark clouds as lightning flashed by, feeling an odd sense of calm despite the harsh weather.
"...but the things you feel are normal for everyone. Why do you act as if missing someone, or being sad is unusual?"
"I'm just not comfortable with it, I guess." Sonic replied dryly, lifting away from Shadow's shoulder and trudging back into the bedroom. He sat on the mattress and flopped back on the bed, letting out a loud frustrated sign.
Shadow shook his head and sat on the bed beside him, taking the hint that the blue hedgehog was not in the mood to dwell on his emotions about loss right now. He leaned back, laying on Sonic's leg and staring up at the ceiling.
"We should take a look at that letter now that we have some time to relax."
"Oh! I hope they didn't get wet from the rain, crap..." Sonic replied sitting up quickly and reaching into his head quills. He pulled out the letters gingerly, both of them mostly dry aside from a few wet dried spots of rain. He placed the 'Later' one back into his quills, and tossed the other to Shadow.
"It should be okay, it wasn't wet, thank goodness."
"You don't want to read it?"
"I get nervous reading out loud because I'm kinda bad at it," Sonic smiled shyly.
"Plus I love it when you talk to me, you sound so sexy.~"
"Please, shut up." Shadow scoffed as he unfolded the envelope slowly. The hero nodded and crossed his legs, a goofy eager look on his face that the ultimate life form pointedly tried to ignore as he focused on the letter.
'Dear Sonic and Shadow,
So you made it this far huh? I'm so glad! I hope you've made a lot of memories along the way, and it warms my heart that the two of you can bond without me having to tug you along and twist your arms. I look forward to you two doing so much together long after I'm gone.
Prof. Pickle told me something the day that Chip and Sonic saved the planet from Dark Gaia. He said that Dark and Light coexist and one can't exist without the other. That the will of the planet very well may exist on this principle. Of course, when I was younger I didn't fully understand the weight of his words. However, as time went on between the three of us I slowly began to understand.
There is always someone out there for someone else; someone's piece of the puzzle, the dark to their light, you know? It was never clearer to me then when we met Shadow. Sonic's Dark had finally arrived and the universe was telling me what I needed to do.You two are the most powerful beings in the world; so similar yet so different, but also equal and pick up where the other lacks.
Sonic is bright, loving and fun but can be such a blockhead sometimes. Shadow is intelligent, thoughtful, and loyal, but can be really abrasive and distrustful. However together you guys just click in a way that makes the whole world make sense when nothing else does. No matter what fate has in store for me, I'll know that I put the world in balance by uniting its greatest heroes. There is always light after the dark, and I know you two will be there to shine brightly together.
Now pick yourselves up and stop your crying; this adventure is not over yet!
-Amy Rose'
Shadow narrowed his eyes thoughtfully, as if he was having trouble understanding what he read.
"Is something wrong, Shads?" Sonic asked, now inches away from the dark hedgehog on the bed.
"No, nothing." He said dismissively.
"The letter was just...unexpectedly sweet."
The hero smiled and nodded, cuddling up to his rival and letting out a tired yawn.
"I never knew Amy and Pickle had that talk together...but I think it's incredible that she thinks so highly of us like that. I don't feel like I deserve her praise sometimes, she really was...such an amazing person."
"Yes..." Shadow replied solemnly.
"She really was."
It was quiet between the two of them for some time, nothing but the soft sounds of the television and pattering rain from the thunderstorm. Sonic was feeling a little lonely, leaning into his rival's shoulder trying to get his attention. Shadow seemed a million miles away as his Chaos energy buzzed with rampant anxiety.
"Are you sure you're alright? You seem kinda distracted."
"Sorry, I'm fine. The letter just brought up some unexpected feelings."
"Wanna talk about 'em?"
The dark hedgehog shook his head and came in close, his fawn muzzle brushing against the hero's briefly before planting a kiss on his cheek. Sonic chuckled and flinched away, rubbing the spot tenderly.
"That's new, you making the first move. You feelin' frisky or what?"
Shadow wrapped his arms around Sonic's waist, burying his nose into the blue hedgehog's shoulder. His breath hitched at the intimate contact, warmth pouring over his neck as the ultimate life form spoke in a low, husky whisper.
"It's a shame that your phone was destroyed. Would you like to take some more pictures?"
Sonic nudged strong black legs apart with his knee, trying to angle the camera phone in just the right way before taking the shot. The hero had Shadow positioned spread eagle on the bed, arms high above his head like before. He frowned slightly, putting the device down and reaching over Shadow to tug on his gloves. The dark hedgehog balled his fists immediately when he felt the fabric begin to slip away.
"Take these off for me, okay?"
"I'd prefer to keep them on, actually."
"You took them off in bed when we were in Sand Ruins, didn't you? I wanna take a picture of you totally bare. Plus I lost mine in the explosion, so its only fair."
Shadow sucked his teeth, slowly uncurling his fists and allowing his rival to work a glove from underneath the inhibitor rings. A light gasp sounded above him and the ultimate life form winced at the sound, fearing the worst. Sonic held Shadow's hand up curiously and examined the large dark claws on each finger. They were long and neatly tapered, but each of them dangerous sharp.
"I apologize."
"For what?" The hero asked, poking a claw delicately.
"My hands are rather unkempt. I know most of our kind have short cut nails but I am unable to control the length of mine for very long. Possibly a trait of the black arms. I've been told its not very attractive, if not frightening--!"
He jerked his hand suddenly, Sonic's soft lips pressed carefully against his knuckle.
"It's hot," The blue hedgehog replied breathlessly, uncurling black claws and rubbing a thumb across the smooth shiny surface. Emerald eyes were dark with a strange, hungry look that both intrigued and terrified the ultimate life form.
And then a pink tongue darted out quickly to lick his index finger and Shadow nearly lost his mind.
"Anyway," Sonic drawled, releasing the ungloved hand. He straddled Shadow's chest and reached for the arm still stretched up toward the headboard.
"let's get the other one off, huh?"
As soon as the hero began to tug the glove away, strong sharp claws dragged down his left side, raking intently through blue fur. Shadow was pulling him down, nuzzling and kissing anything he could touch in this position.
"Hold on big guy, just let me finish-- Oh!"
Sonic gasped as he felt wet, hot bites along his torso, the dangerous prick of canines sending a thrill down his spine. Eventually he relented and sat down on Shadow's lap, letting the ultimate life form kiss and squeeze and bite as much as he pleased.
Shadow glanced up at his rival in between bites, relishing the satisfied, glazed look in his eyes looking down at him. Warmth radiated from the blue hedgehog's chaos energy, making it difficult for Shadow to stop. He nipped softly above the hero's navel before speaking for a moment, his voice ragged and deep.
"Yes? May I help you?"
"Chaos, you're killin' me, Shads."
"Hmn. You can't straddle me and assume I would let you get out of it unscathed, Hedgehog."
Sonic leaned down, tilting his head and kissing fawn lips eagerly, letting out a pleased purr when a warm tongue slipped out to greet him. He opened his mouth drowning in the sensation of those sharp canines biting harshly his lip, the metallic taste of fresh blood making its way into this kiss.
He broke away quickly, trying desperately to catch his breath. Sonic eyed Shadow's mouth, eyes blown wide at the sight of his rival's tongue swiping over fawn lips to lick the remaining blood. He tried his best to keep up his end of the banter, but Sonic was getting restless.
"You know nothing's worth doing without a little bruising, Shads."
He reached down slowly, bare peach hands rubbing and squeezing at the taught muscles below him, ghosting over Shadow's grown and nudging a prominent black sheath gingerly. A restrained grunt sounded beneath him, dark nails threatening to break the skin underneath Sonic's blue fur.
"Wait..." Shadow managed to get out before Sonic could go any further.
"How are we...doing this?"
The blue hedgehog tilted his head, seeming confused that Shadow brought it up.
"Well...you know."
"I know what?"
"I just assumed it would be you at the bottom."
"Excuse me?" Shadow sputtered, closing his legs indignantly.
"Well I know you said you and Rouge fooled around but you never actually did it, meanwhile I've had a girlfriend or two in the past, and I've already done it. I mean, never with a guy, but you know."
"Uh-huh. And how does that factor into me automatically being bottom?"
"Pssh, well it wasn't gonna be me, I'm the hero, and you're the...virgin...? Hey, hey whoa-- hey, time out!"
Sonic flailed as Shadow pushed him roughly onto his back and pinned him to the mattress, a clawed hand grasping at his throat. Hot crimson eyes bore into green, a combination of lust and fury boiling behind them.
"Is that how you saw this...?" Shadow drawled lowly, tightening his grip on the hero's neck.
"Well, not exact--hngh!" Sonic whined, the deadly prick of black claws raking his exposed chest, leaving flushed red marks in their wake. The hero bucked involuntarily under his rival's grip, his cocky grin from before dissolving into a strained blushing mess. The ultimate life form leaned in close with a disinterested expression at Sonic's struggling. Blue hips jerked at the sudden heat, Shadow's groin grinding slow and rough against his own.
Sonic would never admit it, especially not now, but he was actually thrilled at the idea of Shadow looming over him, pounding him into the mattress, finally feeling that raw power the ultimate life form barely restrained every time they fought. The angrier the Shadow was with him, the more dangerous he became.
And Sonic knew all too well how to push Shadow's buttons.
"H-how about I let you top this time, since you haven't before, okay? But in return, you let me have some fun working up to it?" Sonic said quickly, pressing a hand pleadingly against the dark hedgehog's chest.
"After all, we have to prepare all the way to that, don't we?"
Shadow nodded slowly, relaxing his grip on his rival's neck by a fraction but not letting go.
"Alright," he growled.
"But if you try anything funny, I will end your ass. Literally."
Sonic lifted a knee, stroking it down the dark hedgehog's side lovingly.
"Sure, sure, I get it. Now, let me up a little bit would ya, babe?"
It took a few seconds but Shadow released his neck, eyeing the blue hero suspiciously. Sonic stretched his limbs and nudged his rival onto his back again, their eyes locked on one another the whole time. He ran a hand over the dark hedgehog's groin and broke eye contact if only for a moment, giving the hero a chance to relish in a triumphant smirk.
The ultimate life form was lying on his back, head propped up on one hand and staring at the hero with distrustful, hooded eyes. A dark blush across his muzzle and the erratic buzzing of chaos energy were the only indications that Shadow's deadly gaze held any lust behind it.
Sonic sunk down in between Shadow's legs and began rubbing small circles over the black sheath, feeling the growing erection inside. Impatient as ever, he wasted no time and licked intently at the entrance, causing black inner thighs to jump at the contact. A low husky grown escaped Shadow's lips followed by a few muffled curses that were music to the blue hedgehog's ears.
Agonizingly slow, he lapped at the black pouch, sucking and biting the sensitive flesh until Shadow's fur was damp and slick. Sonic was intent on getting his mouth around the dark hedgehog's cock if his life depended on it. A delighted purr rose in his chest once he spotted the wet tip inching its way out, shiny and practically dripping with precum. Sonic pressed further down on the sheath to slide it all out, Shadow's length bouncing a little at the motion.
The ultimate life form hissed as his dick hit the cold air, gripping the sheets roughly underneath him. Sonic took a moment to relish his rival's frustration as a smug grin made its way onto his face.
"You know, its funny..." Sonic began, thumbing the underside of Shadow's length absently.
"I thought this would suck-- haha-- but I'm enjoying the hell out of myself down here."
"Then why are you talking?" Shadow growled.
"Because I love seeing that look on your face..." He licked a stripe up the side of his cock and Shadow clenched his teeth, restraining a moan threatening to rise in his throat.
"There it is."
"Hedgehog, I swear to Chaos--!"
"Alright, alright..." The hero grinned settling himself back down in between Shadow's legs. He took a second to size up the organ before wrapping his lips around the tip and sliding down as far as he could go.
Suddenly everything was a lot different.
There was a constant insistent tingling flowing through Sonic's senses at the contact; a warm, erotic back loop from Shadow's arousal leaking into his own. The hero twisted his head a little, hearing his rival's moans and huffs vary with every movement he made. Chaos energy bounced around in his head like a pinball, the blue hedgehog unable to think or feel anything beyond his partner's lust unwinding and filling every inch of his body. His senses were alive more than they ever had been before, Shadow's natural spicy scent wreathing around him and clouding his senses. Sonic began to speed up, chasing that feeling every time it faded or drifted away. Blue ears perked up at the feeling of sharp claws grabbing at his head and something in the back of the hero's mind niggled at him to stop, but Sonic was relentless. Black legs twitched around his head, bucking up into his mouth trying to go further into that warm heat. Broken moans dissolving into primal growls were egging the hero on and Sonic was never one to disappoint, moaning and making lewd, sloppy noises each time he came back up.
The grip on his head suddenly became tighter, Shadow's moans desperately trying to form something coherent in time. However Sonic was hardly paying attention to the warning signs before hot, thick liquid spurted into the back of his throat. His first reaction was to pull away at the taste, but the explosion of chaos energy drew him in immediately, raw and raking through his body like thousands of deadly claws pulling at blue fur, the rough feeling of his partner unintentionally pushing himself further down Sonic's throat in his orgasm and hero swirling his tongue around the length in appreciation.
Shadow slumped back down on the bed, his body wired and exhausted as he gasped in short labored breaths. Sonic sat still for a few heartbeats, relishing in the last remaining sparks of chaos energy before carefully sliding his lips off of Shadows cock and swallowing down the rest of his release.
"Sorry..." Shadow whispered, throwing an arm over his face in exhaustion.
"S'okay..." Sonic slurred, peppering his partner's inner thighs with kisses. The onslaught of Shadow's wavelength made the hero sluggish and fuzzy, and he suddenly understood why the dark hedgehog loved basking in his own energy so much when Sonic was excited; the experience was intoxicating.
"Wanna do it again...?"
Shadow slowly propped himself on his elbows and shook his head, giving the hero a tired, mischievous smirk.
"If I recall correctly...we had an agreement."
Sonic froze.
"Faker."
"..."
"Faker~"
Sonic scrambled off the bed quickly but Shadow was faster, anticipating his partner's mad dash for the hotel door. The hero's mind was still foggy and Shadow managed to grab him by the waist, pulling him back onto the bed. Sonic struggled a bit but eventually stopped, pouting like a child as the dark hedgehog nuzzled lovingly into his shoulder.
"...Cheater."
"Hardly. You were just too slow. Dining and dashing isn't very becoming of a hero."
"C'mon, you had fun right?" Sonic chuckled shifting in the dark hedgehog's grasp.
"So you should be cool for toni--ugh!"
Sonic grit his teeth, feeling a warm hand wrap around his exposed member and giving it a slight squeeze. The hero had no idea when he had dropped down or how long he'd been out, but he knew telling his rival he wasn't in the mood anymore was out of the question.
"You're still hard." Shadow drawled in his ear. The blue hedgehog stifled a groan and crossed his arms, huffing in frustration. He eased off of Sonic's groin and moved a hand to his chest instead, stroking the peach fur tenderly.
"If you really don't want to do this, we don't have to." Shadow said planting a kiss on his temple.
"What? No way, I totally do! I just...ugh...It's gonna hurt before it feels good."
"Hmm. I thought you liked pain."
"I like exciting pain, stuff that hurts in the heat of the moment, like fights or jumping out of airships, ya know?"
"Well, we can make sure that it doesn't hurt as much, can't we?" Shadow replied as he released the blue hero. He reached back and pulled a small pink bottle from black head quills and waved it slightly in front of Sonic's face.
"You had lube this whole time?"
"Yes. It apparently heats up with friction."
The hero eyed him over his shoulder in disbelief.
"And how long have you had this?"
"Don't get the wrong idea. I didn't plan on using it. Rouge gave it to me when we were at her club, and the bat wouldn't let me leave without it."
"Well, let her know my ass says 'thank you.' " Sonic chuckled.
"Though, um, I think I should do the preparing myself. Wouldn't want you stabbing me in the asshole with those daggers of yours."
"How crude," Shadow replied dryly. Though the hedgehog made a good point; his long black claws weren't exactly bedroom friendly. He rummaged around in the nightstand nearby, looking for something to cut them with. Black ears tilted at the loud 'pop' of a plastic cap, Sonic opening the lube bottle carefully.
Shadow sighed in relief finding a pair of nail clippers in the drawer; he was afraid that he would have to bite his nails down and the dark hedgehog was certain that wouldn't be very attractive.
"This smells kinda nice," Sonic said cheerfully, nosing the pink bottle.
"sorta like cherries?"
"Don't smell it, Chaos..."
"I was curious!"
"Just...get to work. It would do you some good to start opening yourself a little to get use to the feeling before I start." Shadow began idly clipping his claws, watching the hero fiddle with the bottle of lube, and pour a small amount onto his hand.
"Well this is romantic ain't it?"Sonic pipped up, rubbing his fingers together with the clear sticky fluid.
"Clipping your nails and watching me stick my fingers up my ass."
"You're wasting time being cheeky before I finish, hedgehog..."
"Yeah, yeah..."
The hero sat across from Shadow and leaned back, spreading his legs obscenely wide with everything on display. Carefully, he reached down, delicate fingers spreading blue cheeks slowly and pushing at the tight ring of muscles. He flinched and recoiled at the unusual tingle of the heated lube as it burned lightly on the sensitive area. Sonic managed to get a finger in, closing his eyes as he gingerly prodded deeper in the compromising position. He huffed in frustration at the itcy feeling that there was something just beyond his reach. Suddenly he was aware the room was too quiet and chanced a glance up at his rival.
Shadow was eating up the performance, his crimson eyes dilated and dangerously watching the blue hero's every move. He was on his knees now, a hand inching forward towards blue legs but only slightly, waiting for his partner's gaze to meet his own.
Sonic opened his legs a little more and winced at the empty feeling as he slid his fingers out. He glanced at Shadow's hands, making sure the dark hedgehog actually prepared himself before they got started.
"You uh, clipped your nails right?"
"Of course."
"Why did you clip all of them on one hand?"
"Call me optimistic," Shadow replied stroking a blue thigh, leaning in for a quick peck on Sonic's flushed muzzle.
"Besides, you seem to be able to fit your own head up there with no trouble at all."
"Oh hah hah, gramps."
The ultimate life form poked Sonic's chest lightly, gesturing for him to lie down on his back. The hero obliged and watched carefully as his rival shifted into a sitting position pulling him closer until his hips were in Shadow's lap. It was quiet for a few seconds, the loud clack of the lube bottle closing sending Sonic's heart rate skyrocketing.
"Hold still, alright?"
"Gotcha."
Shadow's finger slipped in a lot quicker than Sonic anticipated, blue hips pulling away at the contact. Shadow had a firm grip on his side and held the hero in place, his finger following the motion and pushing a bit further inside. The warm friction of the lube numbed some of the discomfort and leaked out around Sonic's pucker, making it easier for his rival to slide in a second digit with little effort.
The blue hedgehog hissed at the sensation, Shadow's fingers spreading him wide as fluid slipped in and out, making the faintest 'squish' each time they pushed in deeper. Suddenly the ultimate life form's rhythm became erratic, stroking at odd angles and prodding around aimlessly. Sonic glanced down at his rival, the dark hedgehog's brows knitted together in complete focus on the task at hand.
"H-hey Shads? Babe...? I don't wanna tell you how to do your job but...what are ya doin' down there?"
"Does it hurt?" Shadow asked, not bothering to look up.
"Not all that much, but you're--Ah!" Sonic's entire body flinched up and away from Shadow's lap, his chaos energy spiking so high the ultimate life form immediately panicked, unable to tell if the reaction was pain or surprise. It sent shivers up his spine as it dissipated, the feeling drifting away as Sonic's whole body began to relax in his grip.
"Shit..." The hero cursed through clenched teeth. To Shadow's relief, his wavelength oozed pleasure and warmth after the initial shock, a wry smile spreading across Sonic's flushed face.
"So that's what you were up to..."
"This," Shadow started, punctuating with another stroke on the sensitive bundle of nerves.
"should make things a little more interesting."
Sonic chuckled weakly as glazed emerald eyes turned up at the ceiling, anticipation and curiosity tingled at the fringe of his Chaos energy. He had never imagined the two of them would end up in this situation and now that it was happening he couldn't help but smile at the strangeness of it all and the fuzzy feelings seeping into his skin.
Shadow tilted his head, confused at the hero's unusually tender emotions flowing through their bond. He leaned down, kissing peach lips to get Sonic's attention and make sure he was still with him.
"Is everything alright?"
"It's great, man. I'm just excited."
Shadow smirked and leaned back again, adjusting his hold on Sonic's leg.
"Well, I better not keep you waiting then, yes?"
Sonic was loosing his mind.
The hero gripped the sheets underneath him for dear life, panting heavily as Shadow's fingers thrusted into his hole, stretching in a strange loop of pain and pleasure, black digits going even deeper each time. He was relentless, assaulting that tender sweet spot over and over again, Sonic's entire body shaking with the motion. The ultimate life form gazed intently into foggy emerald eyes, soaking up his rival melting into a puddle beneath him. Eventually he slowed down the pace, opting instead to slowly curl his fingers over the tender area before pulling all the way out.
"Sssss...Fuck...!" Sonic hissed through clenched teeth.
"Hmn...so you like this, huh?"
The blue hedgehog reached down to stroke himself but Shadow grabbed his hand and pulled it high above him on the bed to join the other, pinning both arms in place.
"Ah, no. I can't let you finish before we get to the main event, hedgehog."
"Oh, you bitch," Sonic replied with a strained smile. He shifted in Shadow's hold to get comfortable, but made no attempt to escape. The hero blew a kiss and batted his eyes mockingly.
"C'moooooon why you gotta make a poor guy suffer, huh? Don't you like me? Just give me something, anything..."
"Well, since you asked so nicely..." Shadow pulled Sonic's hips away from him slowly, lining his groin up in between his legs. The dark hedgehog gave himself a few brief strokes before prodding the tip of his member gently against the hero's slick entrance.
"Whoa-whoa!"
"What?" Shadow huffed.
"Just gimme a warning when you're about to do that..."
"Oh...well, I'm about to do it."
"I know that now, Shads." Sonic chuckled rolling his eyes. He reached up, pulling Shadow down for a tender kiss.
"Just don't fuck me up, okay?"
The ultimate life form gave a slight nod, his mind suddenly racing at the weight put on his shoulders with those few words. Shadow had to make sure he didn't get carried away, but all he could think about was Sonic, how he felt, how he smelled, the kiss, and how even now the warm, wet sensation of his pucker on Shadow's tip was making it harder to breathe...
A faint click in the back of his mind halted his rampant thoughts altogether. Something he couldn't quite place was poking through the fog, and pulling him back to his senses. It was clearer now and Shadow was suddenly very aware that he had not moved for some time. He blinked rapidly, crimson eyes falling onto green, determined but soft and inviting. Sonic had felt Shadow's racing anxiety through their bond and now that he was focused, the ultimate life form could make out the gentle, sturdy comfort pulling him back down to Mobius.
Sonic said nothing but smiled, sliding a hand over Shadow's on the bed. The dark hedgehog knew for a fact if this situation were reversed, he would definitely not be comfortable with continuing if he felt Sonic couldn't control his excitement. Shadow sighed; he had to get a grip on himself.
Carefully he pushed inside, the brief, hot feeling sending a chill through his body as the tight ring of muscles instinctively clamped down on the tip. Sonic shivered and scrunched his nose, a small spike of pain dancing across Shadow's skin at the reaction. He waited for a few heartbeats before the hero wordlessly urged him on with a gentle nudge across his Chaos wavelength.
Inch by inch the ultimate life form managed to gain a little progress, trying his best to make the process hurt a little less each time. He would gently retreat, and push back in, a fraction of his length making it deeper than before. Sonic however seemed to be having trouble, his lower half trembling and clamping down reflexively making some thrusts harder than others. He panted harshly, eyes wet and glossy but refusing to call it quits despite the discomfort.
"Shadow..."
"Yes?" He replied quickly.
"Mnn...I need something to...you know..."
Peach hands stroked his rival's white chest lovingly, trying to convey what he was too exhausted and frazzled to ask out loud. Shadow nodded and leaned over, and pulled the hero into a deep kiss. Sonic groaned at the contact, wrapping his arms around Shadow's neck and licking hungrily into his mouth, a pink tongue swiping over sharp fangs and sending electricity down the ultimate life form's spine. The hero needed a distraction, something to make the process a little easier and Shadow was more than willing to oblige.
He thrusted slowly, the ring of muscles looser now that Sonic was more relaxed and focused on the kiss. Every whine and groan that left the blue hedgehog's lips Shadow swallowed down immediately, determined to ride him through the roughest part of it as best as he could. Satisfied purrs rose into Sonic's chest as he raked short peach nails through his rival's quills, enjoying the onslaught of attention.
Shadow let out a soft grunt, finally buried into the blue hedgehog all the way to the hilt. Sonic broke away from the kiss and nuzzled Shadow's cheek, panting as he adjusted to the girth buried deep inside him. He felt full and hot as the length pressing firmly against his prostate and the hero waited anxiously for Shadow to move. As if on queue, the dark hedgehog slid back carefully, hot silken walls squeezing his member every inch of the way. He thrust back in with a little more force making the hero beneath him let out a broken moan of pleasure. He gripped Shadow's arm roughly, head thrown back as his lithe blue body arched off of the bed. Shadow held him close as his body relaxed, thrusting at a quicker pace, watching Sonic's expression and sensing his wavelength for any signs of pain.
The blue hero however only let out soft, gentle grunts, adjusting to the fast pace rather quickly. A sharp pain ran through the ultimate life form's shoulder at the feeling of tiny fangs suddenly clamping down through his fur. The action only turned him on even more and Shadow pushed Sonic's legs back further, thrusting into him harshly from above.
To the dark hedgehog's surprise, Sonic actually growled, biting down harder and huffing aggressively in his ear. Pleasure exploded in the back of Shadow's head the sudden spike of emotion causing him to shiver, digging his claws into a blue leg.
"Harder..."
The word was so husky and low, that if Shadow had not been pounding into the hero right now, he would have mistaken that sultry voice for someone else.
"You'll get what I give you." He growled back on instinct, both aroused and annoyed by Sonic's command. Black claws moved from their hold on the hero's leg to his neck, green eyes shutting tight as they closed around his throat. Sonic bit his lip, desperately trying to hang on, but Shadow wasnt making it easy, pounding faster and deeper hitting that bundle of nerves mercilessly with each thrust.
The bed began to rock back and forth, the only sounds registering in Shadow's mind were Sonic's needy moans and the harsh slap of skin against skin as he gave the blue hero all he was worth.
"Shadow...!" Sonic called desperately, head turned to the side and gripping anything in reach to ground himself. The ultimate life form bent down eye level with the hero, grinding harder until he could feel Sonic's inner walls spasm uncontrollably around his cock, sucking him in. Shadow tightened his grip so hard he was sure that if it was anyone else, he would have snapped their neck, but it only drove Sonic higher, his chaos energy crackling around the ultimate life form so violently that he began to see stars.
And then Sonic screamed his name louder than ever before and Shadow lost it.
A deep throaty moan escaped his lips as he released into his rival, the warm heat becoming slicker with each thrust as he poured everything out, nerves set on fire and Chaos energy vibrating across his muscles so hard it hurt. Hot thick liquid splashed on his chest as Sonic came shortly after, the blue hero repeating his name over and over as if it were the most precious thing in the universe.
Sonic gasped as Shadow let go of his throat both hedgehogs out of breath and spread out tiredly on the bed, the ultimate life form sparing a little energy to pull out of his rival before flopping back onto him roughly. Sonic winced and gave a weak push in protest under Shadow's weight, but didn't bother to move away.
He pushed his muzzle in the dark hedgehog's shoulder and let out a small curious noise, licking at the puncture wounds left behind. Shadow let out an amused snort at the gesture and ran a claw through blue quills tenderly.
"Sorry 'bout biting you..." Sonic whispered hoarsely.
"They will heal, hedgehog."
He gingerly pushed himself up off of the hero and leaned back, his stomach plummeting at the sight of dark blue bruises around Sonic's neck. He hadn't meant to grab him that hard...
The blue hedgehog rubbed his neck and narrowed his eyes mischievously at Shadow, putting a protective hand over the bruises.
"Don't even think about it. I'm keeping them." He said clearing his throat.
"I apologize."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. You bruise my neck, I eat up your shoulder, we're even. Besides..." Sonic rolled over on his side and sat up quickly, a cheeky grin spread on his tired face.
"I wanna leave even more marks on you."
"You do realize that I heal quickly, right?"
"Well then, I better keep at it, huh?" He replied, using all of his energy to craw to the head of the bed.
"C'mon, let's get some sleep, babe."
"Shouldn't we shower at least?"
Sonic frowned and threw a pillow lazily in his rival's direction.
"You can do that in the mornin' now come here. Right here." He patted the space on the bed beside him, eyes wide and pleading as he tilted his head in Shadow's direction.
"Please...?"
"Fine, fine. If you want to sleep like this I'll indulge you, this once. Just stop with the puppy dog eyes, Chaos." The ultimate life form crawled in beside him and pulled the hero close, realizing he wasn't in the mood to shower either. Sonic's scent was stronger than usual, the sharp earthy smell was soothing his frayed, tired nerves. He buried his face in Sonic's soft peach belly, a low purr vibrating in his chest.
"Hmmnn...you're pretty comfy for someone who wanted to shower so soon after all that..." The blue hedgehog chuckled as he scratched lazily behind a black ear. Shadow ignored him, completely satisfied to let Sonic win the argument if it meant he got to cuddle the idiot a little longer in return. He stayed silent for the longest time, basking in the perfect blend of their chaos energies flowing back and forth.
"Chaos, why are you so perfect...?" Shadow breathed, instantly regretting it once he realized he said his private thoughts out loud. He turned his head, waiting for the annoying cocky grin to show up on Sonic's dorky face and ruin the mood.
Thankfully, the hero had fallen asleep during their cuddle and likely had not heard anything at all. Shadow sighed in relief, pulling the blue striped blanket up around them. The rain had not let up at all outside, the faint pattering and smell of the ocean still wafting in on the balcony. Shadow sighed at the gentle noise and pressed closer to the hero, drifting off to sleep soon after him.
The two hedgehogs rested soundly through the remainder of night, curled up safe and warm in each other's arms as they waited out the rest of the storm.
