" Now there is nothing you can do to survive, you have no more opportunities. They have found love in each other, and neither of them will ever bare you an heir. Your finished" The glowing guardian of Knuckles said, joyous as he watched and felt his mortal half experience pure happiness. Beside him, floated the emerald creature, the jewel embedded in his chest flashes with rage with what he witnessed before him. His guardian, smothering himself against the lips of a male, not only that, a hedgehog male, one created by the vile species of man, one with powers to rival his guardian and so it couldn't control him. It was the worst possible match in its own twisted way, and that was probably why the pompous echidna spirit was so pleased about it.
" I ShoUlD slaUGHter TheM BoTH thiS MomENT". The echidna looked at him with a smug face and said in a challenging voice
" Then why don't you?". The emerald remained silent for almost a minute, seeming not to want to answer and staying completely still. Then finally, it replied with a vague
" I NEEd My guaRdIan". The twin scoffed, then said
" Your guardian? He abandoned you ages ago, face it, your through. You've got nothing left". This time the emerald took even longer to answer. But when he did, what he said pleased the clone, so much so he couldn't help but grin.
" I StiLL HaVE pOweRS oVER hIm". The twin raised an scripted eyebrow, then turned to face the emerald, who still had it's eyes locked onto the two creatures.
" What are you thinking?" He said with put on suspicion. The emerald didn't look at him, but it's liquid body flashed and buzzed with power, indicating it was thinking hard. The twin knew this, his own knowledge of the emerald screeched far further than Knuckles own. And in his mind he knew his plan was going exactly to plan. The emerald foolishness was exactly as was expected, and soon the motions of the future would fall into place, just as he had predicted.
The twin was ready to press the emerald for answer, one he knew it wouldn't give. But just as he opened his mouth to talk, the emerald and it's mutated, twisted body vanished with one flash of the jewels green light. The twin watched as the two courting creatures began to leave, as the sun began to rise. The twin smiled and removed the hue he had been holding over the water, let the shadow under the willow tree return to it's original, not to hiding, shade and let the noise of the city flood back in. Delighted with a job well done, he too vanished, leaving to complete the work that still needed to be seen to.
Meanwhile , Shadow and Knuckles has made their way back to Shadows house, surprisingly shy around each other. Knuckles was suddenly aware of just what going to Shadows meant, and it frightened him and excited him at the same time. He felt utterly lost in whirlwind of events and feelings, all of it sweeping past in huge, graceful bounds. He felt blown away by it all, the speed of all of it. But, unlike with Rouge, it felt natural, it felt right.
On the way there, they hadn't said a word. They avoided each others eyes, but kept sneaking in occasional glances. A few times they would do this simultaneously and catch each others eyes. When this happened, one of them would let out an embarrassed smile without thinking about it, which caused the other to do the same. Then, both would swiftly turn away so to avoid the other seeing the blush appearing on their face. One or twice the back of their hands would touch. The resulting tingle would send a deep feeling into activation in the pits of their stomachs. Both were relieved, and petrified, to get to their destination.
Shadow finally managed to prise the door open. His hands had shook while he tried to work his keys and they wouldn't be persuaded into the lock first of all. Both of them went to go through, their shoulders wedging in the door frame. The resulting struggle ended in the two of the bursting in, almost falling and only steadying themselves by clutching each others chest and shoulder for support. It was like a strange hug. One that caused a flush on both of their faces, one which neither of them could hide being face to face. Knuckles just looked away in humiliation, but Shadow smirked and said in a warm and welcoming voice
" You've got something there, Knuckles" he said, reaching up and running his hand over Knuckles reddened cheek. The echidnas eyes opened wide in surprise and his breath came in uncontrollable shudders. But then couldn't resist a nervous grin back. The hedgehog, looking calmer than he felt, untangled himself from Knuckles, which the echidna was grateful for, as he wasn't sure he could do it himself. Knuckles swallowed as the hedgehog stood in front of him, his eyes boring into Knuckles soul. Those powerful, dangerous, burning eyes of scarlet.
Knuckles was feeling an incredible attraction towards him, even though he had never considered himself as gay before. But there was something about Shadow that made him fall for him. It wasn't that Shadow was feminine, far from it. He was simply, graceful, something Knuckles never would be. Rouge took her attraction from her big curves, which were forceful and in your face, just like her personality. But Shadows features were intricate, almost hidden beneath his black fur. Perhaps that was why he had never noticed how handsome he was before, he hadn't taken the time too look. It looked as if you could just watch and observe him for hours and not fully understand his physic. Perhaps that was a feature of his design, so his enemies weren't aware of his true power. Whatever it was, Knuckles liked it. Shadow, to him, was almost like a demigod. At first, he thought Shadows fur didn't bristle like some hedgehogs did when they were frightened, nervous or apprehensive. But, now, he began to notice it wavering slightly, especially around his face. It was entrancing, almost as if Shadow was becoming liquid again, ready to melt back into the darkness. " Make yourself at home" Shadow said, startling Knuckles out of his little trance. " I'm going to a shower" he finished, then hesitated for a second, before leaning forward in a fluid movement and planting a kiss apon Knuckles check, withdrawing just as quickly, his face burning and his lips smiling and grinning. Knuckles felt pleased at the tingling sensation that stayed in the spot Shadow had graced with a kiss and touched it with his paw, his fingers running down his cheek just as Shadow had done.
When Knuckles regained enough control over himself, he managed to make his way over to the couch and take a seat. After observing the room with vague interest, his thoughts drifted back to the last night, back to the drunken kiss he still remembered. He wondered what he was doing here, what Shadow really had in mind. He was the most aggressive of the two so far, and he wondered what advances he dared make on him. After all, their time together was virtually non-existence. He didn't want to ruin it before it began. Besides, there was no rush. Knuckles didn't have any responsibilities to take care of, so he could give his full attention to this strange and fledgling relationship.
" Having fun?" A voice said inside of his head, one he was fast becoming used to hearing. Although he was innicially disappointed that he was still hearing the voice of his twin, he still managed to ask
" Is this what you meant? When you said that my true love will soon arrive?" . It was odd sounding, describing Shadow as liking him, let alone loving him, but Knuckles had to know that he doing the right thing and through that if he could trust his own instincts. His twin smiled and said
" I'll not say. If I did, I could effect what happens in the future. But I do have something to give you". Knuckles raised an eyebrow, wondering what a hallucination form his own mind could possibly 'give' him anyway.
" Give? How can you possibly give me anything?" he said, perhaps a little more rudely than he had meant to. But this didn't faze his clone, who appeared from the air in front of him, glowing with his aura of emerald energy, smiling with obvious glee. Knuckles leant back on the sofa, a little off put by the clones closeness to him, but otherwise relaxed. By now he knew that this strange version of himself never did any harm to him, even if it had meant too. But when the twin leant forward and grasped Knuckles head in his palms tightly, Knuckles felt a wave of announce and panic flow through him. " What are you doing?" He asked through a struggled voice, his jaw restricted. The face in front of him smiled the most troubling smile Knuckles had ever seen it manage and replied in a voice that sounded as if he had succeeded in his own high set goals
" Why, I'm giving you your gift. Trust me... .you'll thank me after..." It said in a glee filled voice, not necessarily evil, but certainly suspiciously pleased.
" After what!" Knuckles managed to cry as just before a wave of feeling rushed through his body from the clones connecting hands. It caught him by surprise and rendered him unable to ask any more questions when the clone replied
" After the connection" it hummed, then vanished from Knuckles sight. The echidna sat, stunned for a few seconds, wondering what on earth he had meant. Then, so suddenly Knuckles let out an involuntary squeak, some thing struck through him, passing as fast as a super charged thunderbolt. But it wasn't that which he felt the most, it was it's after effects...
It was like a burst of adrenaline had been realised into him. It set alight every single one of his senses and gave every nerve in his body and buzz that made his muscles jerk with wishes for movement. Then, came the final and most pleasing feeling. Over the top of the boast of almost hyper energy that sizzled and burned through him, was an explosion of yearning. It drove back almost every sensible thought and bought forward one drifting thought that had been floating around his mind and blew it out of total proportion. Shadow.
It was perhaps unlucky then, that the hedgehog choose that exact moment to emerge from the shower, his fur sleeked down with water. Knuckles, in his seemingly drugged up state, felt his breath trap in his throat, his eyes fixed on Shadow. Of course, the hedgehog spotted him and tipped his head to the side a little, as if to question Knuckles on his odd behaviour.
But, in Knuckles blurred mind, that tiny movement was like a trigger to realise all that stocked up energy that had suddenly presented itself in his body. With one strong and swift movement, Knuckles leapt off the sofa, well over a meter across the room, and straight on top of Shadow, knocking the hedgehog to the floor. The breath knocked out of him, Shadow didn't have the strength to throw Knuckles off.
" What are you doing!" He asked in confusion and panic. Knuckles didn't answer and silenced any further questions by clamping his mouth over Shadows. The black one started to struggle, but at the feel of other animal against him, something caused the resistance in his mind and body to break down and allow Knuckles to carry on. His body softened, the tension let go as he replied to Knuckles kissing. The echidna kicked away the towel around Shadows waist and took his mouth away from Shadows. The hedgehog was about to protest about the loss of the other animals contact, but his objections were ceased when he felt something hot and wet enter his ear. He actually laughed at the feeling of Knuckles tongue inside of him and in turn started to massage Knuckles chest with his hands, feeling deep into Knuckles muscle crevices hidden beneath the red fur. He felt them react to his touch, spasm as they yearned for more contact. Shadow obliged by arching his back so that their chests touched, rubbed and worked against each other. Knuckles hands were tracing there way down Shadows back spines. The echidna ran his finger briefly down Shadows neck, then his hand made its way down to the bottom of Shadow back, urging the hedgehog closer to himself. There was no thought on either side now, just the increase in desire for pleasure, something which each tried there hardest to give the other and themselves. Knuckles tongue drifted out of Shadow's ear and left a trail of liquid on its way to his neck, which he bite, hard. Shadow cried out at the strange mixture of pain and pleasure that radiated from his face and particularly his neck, which Knuckles fangs drew blood, which he lapped up as it emerged. Both animal breathing was heaving now, as the set movements had began to play themselves out in their bodies as their chests connected harder and harder.
But something was wrong. Shadow realised that he was being completely controlled by Knuckles. He didn't like being controlled. As Knuckles bit another hole in his neck, Shadow thrust Knuckles of his stomach, throwing the animal to his own back on the floor. Knuckles looked stunned for a second and didn't react as Shadow clambered on top of him. The hedgehog was still smiling his cool, sexy smile, one which, at this time, drove Knuckles crazy. But Shadow never liked things slow and so, with incredible swiftness and accuracy, straddled himself into position and thrust quickly into Knuckles body, burying himself deeply but just as quickly exciting. He repeated the movement, going just as swiftly and on occasion, even faster. Virtually paralysed with pleasure, Knuckles had no choice but to wait and let Shadow grind into him, hammering him with such powerful blows that he was sure something would tear, but he didn't care. The utter volume of pleasure that this movement caused blocked out and destroyed any pain that Knuckles may have felt and the only reaction that he could manage was a jerk of his hips with Shadows trusts. His brain was dead, thoughts frozen and overcome by the sheer degree of animal instinct that swelled through him. But, just as he thought the pleasure had overflowed and stemmed in its multitude, he felt something awash inside of him, the utter heat and power of it's entrance caused Knuckles to peak on his own, spraying Shadows heaving chest in the process. The liquid seemed to heal the his aching insides from where they had been so viciously attacked. Knuckles fur bristled and spiked as the last of his adrenaline washed away and his breath was taken once again when Shadow feel on top of him, exhaustion taking over him as well. They caught each others drooping eyes and smiled, Knuckles moving his head so it snuggled into Shadows patch of white, fluffy, fur and Shadow ran his hand halfway through Knuckles dreadlocks. And it was there that they lay, asleep, having connected on a whole new level.
But in the most distant corner of his mind, Knuckles felt a tiny explosion of evil joy. Asleep, it went unnoticed and he didn't know that the emerald was laughing, harder than it had ever done, laughing in triumph, laughing at the success of it's schemes.
Authors notes
Omg, my second lemon, if that is the correct term! I made that one a little shorterm tried to make it less repetative too and tried to vary it, although it obviosly had to be different on some levels... smirk. Also, before you say anything, I just wanna mention I'm neither a boy nor am I gay, so any thing you see here is ideas that ive come from reading other peoples scenes like this, so if I got it wrong, I'm sorry, but I'm just taking others words for it. Also, it may be a little short and rushed, but thats because I'm going on holiday soon and wanted to get it up before I went. Review please! I worked hard on this!
