Say hello to your insomnia-inflicted psycho friend with the personality of vodka! Wow, so much for an introduction.... Weird, huh? Sorry for the major delay, it was the comp's fault. I must warn y'all; there's some tangy stuff in this chapter...I couldn't resist. And who can guess what Rouge does next? Let's see if you guessed right while I seriously doubt your intelligence....

Chapter 10: Trick Me Part 1

The night sparkled with bright stars and the glow of the full moon in the peaceful neighborhood Knuckles and Sky were passing through. Sky couldn't stop smiling as he led Knux by the hand to his comfortable abode. Though Knux could see his eager expression, he couldn't begin to imagine the spark behind Sky's night eyes. When they approached the house, Knux stopped Sky from going any further. Before he could react, Knux asked, "What are you thinking about?"

When Sky faced him, he could see Knux gazing into his eyes, which sparkled with the reflection of the stars. He tried to break free of his stare with a sarcastic remark. "What do you think?" He resumed leading Knux through the door, but he was making no progress when he wasn't responding to his movements. Instead, Knux pulled him closer and pressed his lips against Sky's. Before he could pursue some tongue action, Sky broke the kiss abruptly. "Hey, at least wait until we get into the house before I drive you crazy." Sky advised with a sexy grin. Knux gave in and let him lead him into the house again. It was pitch-black inside without the lights on, but neither bothered to care. They stopped at the foot of the stairs when Sky gave him a concerned look. "Are you sure you want to do this?"

"I'm ready when you are." Knux assured him.

"Well, in that case..." Sky trailed off after taking the first step and ascending the next. Knux followed doubtlessly until he "accidentally" tripped, causing Sky to fall and land with his back pressed against the stairs and Knux landing on top of him.

"That's more like it." Knux purred before capturing his lips again. This time, Sky gave in, but occasionally climbed a stair slowly using his hands and feet to pull himself up and Knux followed so he could catch up with Sky's lips. He became more aroused as Sky's midsection came in constant contact with his own as they moved up the stairs. Once they got to the top, his eyes widened and he gasped in embarrassment as he felt his erection.

Sky giggled while observing his sheepish smile. "Looks like I won that round." Knux still looked embarrassed, but he loved the tease. He heaved a sigh from the sudden heat he was feeling between them. "You look a little hot." Sky commented while tugging at Knux's loose shirt. "Here, let me help you." he offered before slipping the garment off his strong arms and leaving him in his wife-beater. "Feeling better now?" Before Knux could answer, he leaned back and stretched his revealed muscles.

As he straightened up, he felt Sky's delicate hands under his shirt. He closed his eyes and gave a pleasurable sigh. "Wow, you never waste a dull moment, do you?" Knux asked breathlessly in between soft caresses up and down his chest.

"It's been way too long, believe me." Sky purred before releasing his hands from the depths of his wife-beater and putting them over his head. As he moved his hands back, his feet followed as he crawled backwards away from Knux. In seconds, Knux was following him as he crawled forward, still keeping himself over Sky.

"Flexible, aren't we?" Knux purred back as he realized that they were approaching Sky's room.

"And creative." Sky added before they reached the edge of his bed. (A/N: -looks at Special- haha! Inside joke...) He got back on his feet, but remained in a squat while Knux was pressed against him with his lips to his ear.

"It's looks like you're at the end of the line, so surrender." Knux whispered while tugging at Sky's pants and revealing his black boxers.

Sky pushed him gently to the floor and overpowered him. "No, you first." he demanded softly as he slowly took off Knux's pants and showing his navy blue boxers. "So, we're even." he announced.

"Not yet." Knux disagreed before Sky removed his own shirt. He gaped at his tight lean body, which was covered in sweat from being so close to Knux.

"You like what you see?" Sky asked deviously.

"Mmmmm, damn." Knux groaned while staring at him.

"I'll take that as a yes." Sky commented before standing up and taking his place on his bed. Knux stood up soon after and took in the relaxed nature of the room, which fitted Sky well. The earthy-toned walls and the scented candles made him want to stay there forever. The sand-colored bed sheets reminded him of Angel Island's hottest deserts, but those deserts seemed like icebergs compared to how hot he really felt.

Sky smiled as Knux joined him. It was hard to focus on anything but his loving eyes. "I feel like I could tell you anything," he breathed with a dreamy sigh.

"Your secrets are safe with me." Knux assured him.

"Thanks, love." Sky said before giving him a kiss on the cheek. "In return, I'll give you whatever you want, always."

"I just want you to be yourself and be comfortable. I'm sure I'll love it." Knux promised.

"Now, where were we?" Sky wondered. Knux was about to tell him before he was locked in a passionate kiss that was probably the most powerful kiss he had ever experienced in his life. He joined in with his tongue, savoring Sky's sweet taste. He felt like he was about to explode when Sky took his place on top of him. His breaths came in short gasps as Sky's lips played with his neck. He could feel a soft and slow grind in between them, causing them to moan louder. "I think I remember now." Sky declared before they had no clothing in between them...

(A/N: If I had continued any further, I would probably get kicked off this site, so I stopped to be on the safe side. Can you say "HAH?" It's an inside joke between TT-X and me. If you really wanna know, just holla at me. Now, to continue... Damn, I'm so nasty.... and creative! -listens to Special LHAO-

Moving on...it's still nighttime, though Shadow is waking up....)

---

Shadow woke up in bed feeling Sonic's arms around him. He turned to face him while looking at him with awe. "Sonic, I can't believe we just did that."

Sonic adjusted himself as Shadow faced him. "Well, believe it. I've been trying to make that dream a reality for months." Sonic assured him. (A/N: And again, if I added what they did, I'd practically be screaming "Take me off fanfiction, I'm a sicko!" Looks like I'll be posting something else on mediaminer.... )

"That was amazing. I should've let you go for it ages ago. I'm sorry." he apologized.

"I just wish I had taken some pictures." Sonic suggested.

"Maybe you can soon." Shadow implied with a sly look.

"Hmm, I like the way you think." Sonic complimented.

Shadow was about to comment, but the doorbell rang first. "I'll get it." he insisted before releasing himself from Sonic's grip. He quickly slipped on a pair of baggy black pants before he rushed downstairs and answered the door. Rouge stood behind it with an impatient look on her face.

"Don't you hedgehogs ever give it a rest?" Rouge complained.

"Ah, Rouge, it's so great to see you," he said with sarcasm. "Have you come to torture Sonic again?"

"Actually, this involves you too, so go get him." she demanded.

"I don't like to follow orders, so you can just wait until he gets down here." Shadow demanded back while looking to the stairs. "Which will be in 5...4...3...2...1...."

In an instant, Sonic appeared from the stairs with an annoyed look. "What now, Rouge? ." he groaned.

"What is with you two? That's no way to talk to your escort!" Rouge scolded.

"Escort? What the hell are you talking about?" Sonic asked suspiciously.

"We're taking a field trip, boys." Rouge answered with her arms crossed.

"What if we don't want to go anywhere?" Shadow taunted.

"It's not like you have a choice." she added.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Sonic asked suspiciously.

"Let's just say that I have something that'll ruin both of your reputations for life." Rouge replied with an evil smirk.

"And what could you possibly-"Sonic began before she revealed three pictures in her hand. "W-Where'd you get those?" he stammered.

"Never mind that. Now, are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?" she asked maliciously.

"I could never be forced to go anywhere with a psycho bitch like you." Shadow insulted.

"Don't make me do something you'll regret." she threatened with a dirty look.

"Try me." Shadow teased. "What do I have to lose?" He could see the boiling impatience in her eyes as she stepped towards him with a death glare. She slipped her hand down his pants and grabbed what she wanted. When she looked up at him, he scoffed. "I know you wanted me, but damn. Do what you want." He said with a slick smile before he put his arms behind his head so they wouldn't get in her way. He looked back at Sonic, who looked as if he was going to pounce on her. He mouthed, "Don't worry" while he began squirming as she squeezed him. She tightened her grip on him gradually, but his expression remained blank. When she realized that, she let go and quickly released her hand from his bottom exterior. She stared at him weirdly. "What? I have a high tolerance for pain," he explained. "Plus, in some kind of twisted way, it felt kind of good." (A/N: For any disturbed peeps, get over it...I thought it was funny...)

Both Sonic and Rouge gave him disgusted looks, but Shad gave Sonic a quick wink before his attention was locked on Rouge. "Okay, we'll go, but we have a right to know where we're going to be held hostage." Shadow said.

Rouge began to explain, but was interrupted by Sonic, who was giving the wall behind her a suspicious look. His eyes narrowed as he asked Shadow, "Is there a fly in here?"

Shad looked at the wall, then back at him. "Yeah, it's right there." he informed while pointing to the light switch.

"I'll get it. Hold on." Sonic announced before retrieving a flyswatter. He ran to the wall and smacked the light switch hard, which turned the lights off. "Oops, sorry." he apologized.

Rouge rolled her eyes in the darkness before someone snatched the pictures out of her hands. She screamed angrily and rushed to turn on the light. The two hedgehogs were nowhere in sight. She cursed herself for falling for their cheap trick. "Wherever you two are, you're going to get it the next time I see you." she growled before leaving.

---

As soon as Sonic heard Rouge fly away, he ran back into the living room laughing while Shadow came downstairs with the pictures in his hand.

"That was too easy." he said with a smirk.

"Priceless." Sonic added. "But was it really worth Rouge groping you?"

"I would've never guessed...." Shadow thought out loud. "It hurts like hell, but tell her and you're a dead hog," he threatened.

"I'll never tell." Sonic promised. "Plus, you need to relax. I'll make it all better." Shadow nodded and slowly made his way to the couch. Sonic saw the pain in his face and sighed. "How could you just sit still like that while she was..." Sonic trailed off at the disturbing memory.

"That's a secret that should be kept to myself for a while." Shadow answered with a painful smile.

"Whatever you say." Sonic said before going in the kitchen and getting some ice.

---

Sky and Knux held each other close while panting rapidly. Sky was the first to recover and kissed Knux's chest one last time. "You alright?" he asked.

"Mmmmmmm..." was all he could say.

"It's great to know that you're all mine now and nothing's going to change." Sky confessed.

"Yeah..." Knux agreed. He was lost for words about the way he felt right now.

"And I thought I never had a chance...." Sky sighed into his chest. "Look at me now."

Knux smiled and stared into his eyes. "Your eyes look amazing at night."

Sky chuckled as he felt his cheeks flush. "Thanks."

"I guess that's where your name was originated from." Knux said.

"Yeah. I was born at night and my father held me as he looked at the stars. I cried until I saw them. He gazed at the reflection through my eyes and my name was officially decided." Sky explained.

Knux smiled at his memory. "That's very interesting."

"You're the first person I've told this to." Sky confessed.

"I'm happy to hear what you have to say." Knux said while pulling him closer.

"I trust you completely." Sky added with a smile.

"I know." Knux said with a yawn. It didn't take too long for Knux to rest his head on Sky's shoulder and fell asleep.

Sky smiled and planted a kiss on his forehead. "Good night, love." he whispered before his own eyes began drooping.
---

Knux woke up to his cell phone ringing. Before he put a hand to his thigh, he realized that his phone was in his pants, which were on the floor from last night. He slowly crawled out of bed, careful not to wake Sky. He reached the phone and walked out of the room before he answered it. "What do you want?"

"Wow, what a great way to greet one of your good friends." Shadow responded on the other end. "Is this a bad time?'

"What time is it?" Knux asked.

"Um, a little after two." Shad informed him.

Knux's eyes widened. "Damn, I was out that long? It's been a while since I've slept so long."

Shadow raised an eyebrow. "What were you doing last night?"

"Um...." It was hard for him to put in words when he thought about it.

"You're at Sky's, aren't you?" Shad asked with a sly smile.

Knux sighed with a small smile. "Yeah..." Shadow chuckled. "So, how'd it go?"

"It was.....awesome...." Knux confessed.

"Well, that's great."

"Yeah. So what did you call me for?" Knux asked suspiciously.

"I was just wondering how you and Sky were." Shadow replied.

"Oh. Is there any other reason?" Knux wondered.

"Like what?" Shadow asked confused.

"Like if Rouge is still after me or something. Did she come over or something?" Knux asked with the even more suspicion.

"No." Shadow lied. "Don't worry about her. She can't change what's between you and Sky."

"Yeah." Knux agreed. "Um, can I call you later?"

"Sure. I won't keep you occupied."

"Thanks, bye."

"Bye."

Knux walked back into the room and saw a conscious Sky stretching on the bed. "Sleep well?" he asked with a smirk.

"You know it." Sky said with a sexy look before the doorbell rang. He rolled his eyes. "What's with all the interruptions?"

"Do you want me to get it?" Knux offered.

"Nah, I'll get it." Sky said before he jumped off the bed and put on his jeans. He left the room and descended the stairs quickly to answer the door. He opened the door and saw Sasha standing on the porch. "Hi." he greeted.

"Hi." Sasha replied with a giggle.

Sky felt her looking at his bare chest. "Am I making you uncomfortable?" he asked.

"No, it's okay." she said after finally taking her eyes off him. "I just came here to apologize for last night."

"For the poem?" Sky asked curiously. She nodded at his assumption. "No, it's alright. It was great. It just triggered some things I tried to keep out of my mind."

"I know. It was Rouge's idea." She waited for him to speak, but he just stared at her. "I didn't mean to get into your business. I saw you two confess your love last night and I told Rouge that she was wrong about trying to break you two up."

"Yeah, she can be pretty persistent." Sky added.

"Yeah." Sasha nodded in agreement. She had to admit Sky's stare was making her a little uneasy. "I just hope you can forgive me."

"It's alright. I guess I can give you another chance." Sky assured her with a smile.

Sasha smiled at him. "Thanks. I want to make it up to you as a friend. How about I treat you to dinner?"

He thought for a few seconds, then gave her his answer. "I'm sure Knuckles won't mind."

"Great." She paused and reached into her jeans' pocket and gave him a slip of paper with her number on it. "I know you're probably busy now, so call me later so we can talk details, okay?"

"Sure. I'll see you later."

"See ya." She turned and walked away before he closed the door. He saw Knuckles sitting on the couch and sat beside him.

"We've only been together for a day and you're already getting phone numbers?" Knux joked.

"Hey, don't worry about it." Sky said with a smirk as he got closer to him. "I couldn't love anyone else even if I tried."

Sky began kissing his lips, but Knux broke the kiss and smiled. "Did you see the way she was looking at you?"

Sky laughed. "It's been a while since I've seen a girl look at me like that."

"So, are you going to go out with her tonight?" Knux asked.

"If it doesn't trigger your psycho jealous side." Sky replied.

"Nah, I'm alright. Now I can go to Sonic and Shadow's and catch up with them."

"Oh, good. I can meet you there later, okay?"

"I can't wait." Knux said.

"Cool. I'm going to go get ready then." Sky announced while getting up.

"Already?" Knux asked with surprise.

"She might get the wrong idea if we're out too late." Sky joked.

Knux laughed as he heard Sky go upstairs and lay back on the couch and took in the last few days.

Whew, that was a little long. I decided to make this a two-parter, so look for that in about a week. I'ma be in Florida for my b-day for the weekend and the first part of next week. For now, I'ma work on that Desperation sequel. Until then, peace out!
