Sonic came to a skidding halt near the Tornado. He waited for his friends to catch up both of them stopping heavily and panting for air.
"Took you guys long enough." Sonic struck a pose with his hands on his hips. Knuckles eyes turned quickly wiping at his sweat angrily. He could hear the angered undertone in the blue blurs voice making him roll his eyes.
"Shut the hell up Sonic, we don't all have your incredible speed you know."
The two glared at each other, having a battle of dominance in the argument daring the other to say anything next. Unfortunately Sonic was already moody from the current mission and it only fueled his temper further. He stepped forward clutching his hands into fists at his sides. It was moment like these he couldn't tolerate his older friend.
"We wouldn't be running for our lives if you'd just stick to the damn plan, but you're too busy being a big dumb Knuckle head you just had to screw up the whole thing!"
Knuckles growled rolling up the sleeves of his charred shirt. There were tears all over the black fabric making his flexing biceps visible. Tails ran up to the older echidna hugging his arms around knuckles waist to keep him from attacking Sonic.
"W-wait Knuckles! we don't exactly have time for this! Please guys don't fight now!" Sonic kept his position ready for Knuckles to lung but the older male only snarled and pushed the fox off his waist.
"You know what Tails wasn't decoding the damn computer fast enough and there was robots about to slaughter us back there so excuse me if I just tried to help the situation!"
Both of them had horrible angered expressions. Tails could visibly see the tension wanting more than anything to get his friends on the plane and off the island, if he was correct there was about five minutes till explosion time. He didn't feel like becoming deep fried fox anytime soon. Thankfully Sonic noticed Tails discomfort and sighed exaggeratedly the blue hedgehog threw his arms up and turned quickly walking towards the plane. The other two followed behind soon after managing to board the plane and leave just as the island exploded.
The heat of the explosion rose to the plane mixing in with the cold air of the ocean making an odd combination of temperatures. Emerald eyes glanced around the destroyed island and spotted Dr. Eggman escaping on a life boat. He was hardly a threat, Sonic chuckled quietly to himself. He'd let the mad scientist go for the time being, there would be plenty more opportunities to defeat his crazed enemy and the chase would be all the more enjoyable.
The ride home was a silent one and they were thankful for the most part. the argument and heated tension still thick around them, no one wanted to speak in fear of what would happen. The exhaustion taking its toll now that their near death experience was over, their bodies relaxed into the odd numbing ache from weeks worth of combat.
As soon as they landed everyone went to their rooms with the awkward silence leaving the house quiet and still seemingly empty.
Sonic could hear the front door open and close from inside his room. Someone had gone out and he hoped it was Knuckles not wanting to get back into an argument just yet. He kicked off his shoes lazily and walked off towards the bathroom with a new set of clothes and a towel wondering if a shower would calm his pounding headache. As he let the warm waters wash his aching body Sonic sighed happily. Maybe their mission didn't go according to plan but at least no one got hurt and Eggmans plans were foiled again so they could relax. If they were lucky they had another few months before the old egg head would plot up a new scheme and they could get some real RR. Sonic chuckled thinking back to how stupid the argument was wondering if the hot headed echidna was still angry with him. Not that it bothered him but, he'd rather live on good terms with his house mates. Although Knuckles preferred sleeping on his floating island, the red echidna would quite often sleep over and so Tails had arranged for the guest room to be given to his stubborn friend.
Sonic felt soap hit his eyes coming out of his thought to stop the stinging feeling. Grumbling the hedgehog washed off the soap and dressed leaving the bathroom refreshed.
Sonics stomach took that moment to growl loudly making him wonder towards the kitchen unaware of the presence within the room. A gloved hand opened the fridge taking out a soda and looked around for a bag of chips to munch on. His stomach growled again and he held the chip bag in his mouth to use a spare hand to reach an apple above the fridge for the fruit basket. Content with his lunch the blue hedgehog hummed happily till he turned around and noticed the looming figure leaned against the kitchen door way making him yelp.
"Oh shit, Knuckles you scared me. What're you doing there?" Knuckles rose a brown glass bottle, amethyst eyes glancing up to look over the hedgehog curiously. Something in the stare made Sonic shiver, there was something dark hidden in those eyes and he didn't really feel like sticking around to find out, especially if the echidna had been drinking.
Suddenly Sonic could feel the tension rising in the room mixed with something else for the life of him he just couldn't place. It made the fur rise on the back of his neck with anticipation and something else he couldn't quite describe. He was afraid of what the stare in Knuckles eyes really meant and Sonics eyes shifted nervously watching as Knuckles had lifted off the door frame moving towards the young cobalt male. There was an intense stare in his eyes as he stepped just in front of Sonic. He could smell Knuckles breath heavy with alcohol. The violet sweater knuckles was wearing stunk of cigarettes making Sonic wonder momentarily if the echidna smoked but quickly came out his thoughts feeling a giant hand touch his waist.
'what the hell...?'
"Knuckles what-"
"Sh-just let me do this."
Sonic gulped closing his eyes but he could feel the echidnas face inching closer and his face blushed so furiously he felt he might faint soon. Then he felt warmth on his lips, he almost wished he had fainted. The feeling was soft but firm and Sonic wished he could run for the hills at that moment but he left his shoes upstairs in his room and didn't really feel like finding out what the consequences of running at sonic speed would do to his feet without their constant protective footwear.
The azure hedgehog didn't move and Knuckles took that as a sign to go ahead not paying attention to how tightly Sonics eyes had been shut or the fact that he was slightly trembling. The hand on Sonics waist moved to his lower back pushing them closer. Knuckles moved to nip at the blue neck enjoying the quick intake of a trembling breath. It wasn't so much pleasure as it was the fear of what would happen in the next moment if Sonic didn't choose to defend himself but he stayed put against his better judgment, still not really sure of what to do in this situation. One his best friends was looming over him like a hungry wolf, out of all their crazy adventures this was by far craziest thing that's ever happened to him.
Knuckles grew brave with his movements wanting something closer and his hands snaked down behind the hedgehogs knees making them bend. Sonic yelped dropping his snacks as he was picked abruptly and placed on the kitchen counter.
"Knuckles, wait, no!" Knuckles kissed the hedgehog silencing his cries to try and end whatever was happening but somewhere in the back of his mind a tiny voice was whispering almost mockingly, curious to see where this would actually go.
Sonic could feel the older male against him hands wandering all over he barley noticed when Knuckles gloved hands reached to unzip his pants making him blink blurrily.
"knuckles..." Sonic didn't know if it was a protest or a moan as he let the echidna lead his body. No longer cooperative, his body felt like a doll in the echidnas arms. Knuckles softly pushed back Sonic on the counter to pull down faded blue jeans.
The momentary embarrassment gone mixed with a wave of emotions and Sonic couldn't exactly place what was going on just that his body was being moved and he was allowing it although somewhat unwillingly. Sonic felt his arms being placed around the red males neck and was settled against the counter just enough to where his rear hung off enough for access but was still somewhat seated on the edge.
Sonic couldn't be sure what he had gotten himself into but he wasn't completely objective to the situation either.
Later he could put this all down to hormones or curiosity maybe even blame it on left over anger from their argument earlier. For a moment he wondered if just maybe, he wanted to be taken advantage of. Did that make it a kink or a fetish? There was a curiosity to being dominated. He had forgotten what it was like for someone else to be in control and just lay back without a care. Whatever it was sonic wasn't sure and he had no time to think about it as he felt his inner walls stretched and filled feeling a horrible pain to the sudden entrance. Sonics arms unconsciously gripped tighter on Knuckles neck as he gasped heatedly.
Knuckles was still adjusting sonic further off the counter. his left hand cupping around a slender blue leg trying to sheath himself deeper. Amethyst eyes looked up curiously watching the hedgehogs facial expressions. As Knuckles continued to moved the blue teen twitched, brows kneaded in deep concentration, flushed pink muzzle and the often gasp or hitch of breath that would escape all seemed so much more intense. It made this all the more real and it frightened him. It was an odd feeling he'd seen this face so many times before but these expression were different and yet so familiar.
Again knuckles picked Sonics body off the counter to push him against the wall instead for a better angle a little more forceful than necessary. For some unknown reason he could feel his anger pick up slightly and he used that anger to power his thrusts. knuckles watched as Sonic leaned his head back against the wall adjusting to the new position gasping a little as he pushed himself down further.
Knuckles couldn't think straight, couldn't understand exactly why he had initiated this odd activity. Sonic was his friend, he didn't want to mess that up but he was so angry. And this, it felt good, whatever this was. A little enraged at his swirling thoughts Knuckles moved faster being almost brutal and finished with a small grunt Sonic following soon after.
Sonics body was still panting above him, still held there by his hips still fully penetrated within the hedgehog. Knuckles cleared his throat softly removing the younger male off himself. Sonic was oddly quiet as he picked his pants off the floor and dressed quietly.
"Sonic?"
Knuckles watched the sluggish movement come to a halt before looking up with a signature smile and a thumbs up. Knuckles nodded not sure what to say, Sonics silence though was a good enough response. Just as if nothing had happened sonic picked out a fresh lunch and walked out of the kitchen without looking back. knuckles blinked curiously but left matters be not wanting to worry about the consequences just yet.
Sonic locked the door to his room placing the food on his nightstand and laid on his bed. He didn't want to think about what happened in the kitchen with Knuckles and he opted instead to just sleep trying to hide the fact that he just maybe, felt like crying.
