ScareS1, Sonadow, Mephilver, Fleetourge, Knuxouge (Part 2)
"Hm?" Blaze looked up from her book, when Mephiles entered again. "Do you need another hint?," she asked.
"No, nothing like that. I just wish to take a little break. All of this noise gives me a headache. I hope you don't mind, if I join you for a while."
Not waiting for her consent, he sat down in another chair, that stood opposite of her, crossing his legs.
The cat looked at him quizzically, but when the seme kept brooding on himself, she returned to her book.
"Say," he eventually broke the comfortable silence, "Did I ever tell you, what I love about Silver?" "I...no?," the female replied, completely confused.
Usually, she and Mephiles exchanged hardly ten words during a meeting due to their living and breathing connection named Silver. And most of the time, it was the uke, who initiated their talks, not Mephiles.
The male chuckled and stood up again, approaching the cat watching him slowly. "I could list off a thousand things I love about Silver, but I think, I'd cut it down on my favorite three." He smirked at Blaze, who stared at him with wide eyes. "Number three: his scent. It reminds me of a flower field found on a clear Spring day."
With a smirk, Mephiles noted the slight blush the girl started to get, looking uncomfortable. "Number two: his eyes. They remind me of the sun without hurting me and I could just become lost in them all day."
Blaze chose to look down on her lap at that, her tail twitching. "And number one." Mephiles had reached the cat mobian now and leaned on her arm rests, their faces only inches apart, "Number one is his laugh. That beautiful little sound, that can light up my darkest days, brighten every room and, that is SO unique, that I would recognize it everywhere.," he finished with a triumphant smirk.
Out of breath, Fleetway stopped in front of the two-tailed fox once more. "Sorry. I'm sorry.," he gasped, as if he had ran a marathon – ...which was more or less accurate, as the mansion was huge and a maze and it had taken him ten minutes to find the boy in the kitchen, munching unhappily on an apple.
"Back already?," the fox asked uncaringly. "Yeah. And I have a question. Why Tails?," the seme replied, making the other freeze. "I think, you got that intonation wrong.," he eventually muttered. "I don't think I did.," was the reply.
Knuckles was quick to return to the partying crowd, making his way over to Cream, who looked up at him as soon, as she noticed him. Just smirking knowingly, he passed her and left the room through a door.
Curiously, Cream left her place next to the window and followed him down a hallway. She watched, how Knuckles went straight into a room, leaving the door open.
Frowning confusedly, Cream followed after him, entering the room, when she couldn't see him from just peeking in.
Almost immediately after she had entered it, the door got slammed shut and she whirled around.
"Fancy meeting you here, Cream.," the guardian smirked. "Er...," she quickly retreated, under the window. "Hello, Mr. Knuckles.," she greeted nervously.
"Hello, 'Cream'. Never heard the saying 'Curiosity killed the bat'?" "I...I think it was 'cat', Mr. Knuckles.," the rabbit girl corrected shyly. "Oh really? But I find 'bat' more fitting, wouldn't you agree?"
Amy remained frozen on the spot, until Shadow broke their connection, straightening. "Y-you...," she started to stammer, before getting angry. "You cheated on Sonic! How could you!?," she shouted at him.
Shadow just chuckled darkly. "It isn't cheating, when you're 100% sure, that you're kissing your boyfriend.," he replied, which shut 'Amy' fairly well up.
"How? I mean, really, HOW?," 'she' asked. "So am I correct, that this is Tails' doing?," Shadow asked.
Sighing annoyed, the pinkette took off the blue leather collar, causing a brief flash of light and then, there stood Sonic, wearing Amy's signature dress and boots, filling both out nicely...and in Shadow's opinion, deliciously.
"Okay, what gave me away?," he asked, his voice as deep as Shadow remembered it to be.
"The device works good, but not perfectly. I caught a whiff of your scent on the threshold of the balcony. You gave yourself away before that, though. I just didn't connect the dots, until I smelled your scent. You see, Rose only uses your nicknames for me to mock me. And she would never say something like 'whatever you say' towards me. It would be like agreeing with me and Rose hates me too much for that."
He paused and looked his mate up and down. "Where did you get this dress anyway? Don't tell me Rose runs around naked here?"
Sonic's cheeks heated a bit up at that. "Amy's not here, she never was. Chaos, she would have never agreed to this plan of ours! She's currently out of the country, visiting family, so I took one of the spare sets of clothing she stores at our house." Seeing Shadow frown, he grinned. "Hey, most of our battles let us end up pretty dirty and we usually get to our house first. Many of our friends have some spares in our place to freshen up properly. It's quite useful, they don't dirty that many things in the house this way."
Getting a devilish smirk on his face, Sonic moved closer to his boyfriend and leaned up to whisper into his ear, "By the way, part of the costume are some panties...wanna check them out?"
Hearing that, Shadow turned so red, that his stripes almost disappeared. At once, he was on his mate, who could hardly control his giggles to get a sentence out: "Careful with the dress...! Shads, not out here!"
"Do you love my laughter really that much?," Silver asked meekly, having taken off Tails' cloaking device already. "But of course, it lights up my life like only your presence in my arms can do it." Hearing that, Silver threw himself into his mate's arms, hugging him hard. "Love you, Mephy." "I love you, too, Silvy."
Using 'Tails'' momentary surprise, Fleetway slipped off the collar and turned the fox into a hedgehog. "How did you figure it out?," Scourge asked emotionlessly, not looking up. "Er... Mephy had to spell it out for me.," Fleetway admitted.
This caused Scourge to laugh. "Seriously!?" "I thought, the fox had a bad day.," the seme shrugged, which had the uke fall off the counter with laughter – right into his mate's arms. "You're an idiot.," he chuckled, looking lovingly up to him. "But you're my idiot.," he added and pulled him down for a fierce kiss.
"I...don't know, what you are talking about, Mr. Knuckles.," 'Cream' insisted. The echidna shook his head and laughed. "Forget it, that won't work. Cream would never say something like 'suit yourself', or be bored at a party – let alone stay in one spot for long. You had to, though – unlike the others, your eye color doesn't resemble Cream's in the slightest. You had to stay close to windows so the moonlight would shadow your eyes.," he explained.
At once, the innocent looking girl straightened, pushing her hip out in what would be a seductive pose for a more mature female. "Congratulations, Knuxie. You got me there.," she admitted. "In other words, we semes won your bet.," Knuckles went on.
'Cream' chuckled. "Actually, I think, that we are the winners. We wanted to know, if you could recognize us in every form – and now we know it. So, wanna claim your reward?," she went on.
Knuckles scowled. "NOT in this form!," he growled. "What's wrong? Don't like bunnies?" "Don't like children bunnies. Turn if off or take it off or whatever you have to do.," Knuckles ordered flatly.
Rouge just shook her head as she took off the collar. "What did I do to get such a honest mate?," she sighed, clearly disappointed, that he wasn't game for some adventure.
"Whatever. So, what do I do with you?," the echidna grinned, pulling his girlfriend closer to himself. "Really? The ever so stoic, opposed to anything in public, stick-in-his-butt Knuckles the Echidna wants to make out in someone else's house?"
That caused the male to roll his eyes. "It's not, like the others aren't already on it. Besides, doesn't stuff like this always happen during parties?" Rouge smirked. "Seems, as if I finally managed to corrupt you – I like it!"
Meanwhile, in Mephiles' wine cellar, hidden under the ground in a secluded corner of his property (where it's fairly cold):
"How long will it take, until we can return to the party?," Cream asked, while looking at her cards, contemplating her next move.
"Twenty minutes to midnight.," Blaze mumbled, reading in the book she had taken with her, while her lazily swishing tail was burning casually, warming her and the girl next to her.
Her flame wasn't large enough, though, to reach a certain fox, who shivered so hard, that he could hardly hold his cards right. "Er...B-Blaze could y-you...?"
"As it was YOUR idea to test that device and forced US to stay here for HOURS, I think it is just fair, that I DON'T do anything right now.," the cat mobian replied without looking up. "R-right...," the fox replied.
Needless to say, that Mephiles needed to hire indeed an army of cleaning staff the next day – and only a VERY high extra pay convinced them to clean the kitchen, in that Fleetway and Scourge had spent the night of the party.
