A/N: Since today is Valentine's Day, I thought I'd celebrate with not one, but TWO Sonic fics. I'd like to dedicate this one to KagamiPINKAgreste, who really means a lot to me. She's currently recovering from surgery right now, so please pray for her.

Also, Sonic and Rouge were 18 or older at the time of this fic.

A cold chill permeated the air of the Kingdom of Mobius, especially notable around Azure Lake, and Sonic the Hedgehog couldn't help but notice that his best friend/soul brother Miles "Tails" Prower was busy combing his fur:

"What's with the hygiene, Keed? Ya got a date tonight or somethin'?"

Tails nodded. "Well, it is Valentine's Day…"

Sonic's eyes widened, and he gasped when Tails mentioned that day.

"Something wrong, Sonic?"

"I…crud!" Sonic rapidly covered his eyes with his hand. "I completely forgot about that today!"

Tails scratched his temple with his index finger. "Why are you so concerned? You've never been very interested in that."

"Yeah, but the thing is…the more adventures we been on…the more I been interested in just goin' out with a woman as more of a casual jam instead of a long-term thing, know what I'm sayin'?"

Tails nodded. "I understand. "So, who's the apple of your eye, if you don't mind me asking?"

Sonic smiled. "I'm just gonna give ya one hint: it ain't Ames or Sal!"

Tails put his index finger on his chin. "Well, now you've really got me curious…"

"Anyways, enough about me: who's the lucky lady you're goin' with?"

Tails smiled. "I'm just gonna give you one hint: it's not Cream!"

"That a fact? Well now I'm curious, too!"

"OK, I'll tell you who my date is, but only if you'll tell me if yours is!"

"OK, Hint Number Two: she's somebody who Knux and Shad know."

"Knuckles and Shadow? But that could be…" Tails' eyes widened when he realized who Sonic was talking about. "Why her?"

Sonic shrugged. "Why not? In a lot of ways, she ain't that far off from me. Now tell me about your girl!"

"You've met her once before at this book club. Her name is Zooey."

"Zooey…tryin' to think…" Sonic snapped his fingers. "I remember now! Hell yeah! You two look like you'd be real great together!"

Tails smiled. "Thanks! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get going; I can't be late."

"Before ya go, bring it on in!"

Sonic gave Tails a hug, which the Two-Tailed Wonder gladly returned. Tails always enjoyed hugs with Sonic because, having grown up without any sort of mentor or friend, they just felt so welcoming and warm. Eventually, they let go.

"Bye, Tails!" Sonic waved at Tails. "Have a fun time! Be safe out there, ya dig?"

"Will do!"

Tails left. Meanwhile, Sonic, having remembered that today was Valentine's Day, decided to call the woman whom he intended to go out with now that he remembered what day it was. On one hand, he feared that she'd turn him down on the basis that it might be too short a notice, or even that she was already planning to go out with another guy, but on the other hand, he figured that at least trying to ask was the only way to live life without regrets. Just as he was about to make the call, though, his Hedgehog Sense tingled. No doubt that whoever he was about to call was showing up here. In short order, he heard knocking on the door. After a quick peek through the peephole to see who it was, he opened the door, and…

"Hi, Sugar-hog!"

Standing at the door was none other than Rouge the Bat, who was dressed in a pink wool coat in addition to her usual pink heart-tipped boots. Sonic smiled when he saw her standing there.

"Rouge, did you come all the way here to see me on Valentine's Day?"

Rouge put a hand on her hip. "I wouldn't have come here today for any other reason now, would I?"

"Of course ya wouldn't! Come on in, Mama!"

Rouge entered the cabin, and as soon as Sonic closed the door behind her, she swiftly pulled him into a kiss. While he had been expecting this at some point, that still didn't make it any less hot or sensual for him. As a matter of fact, knowing that she came all the way here to give him her love made everything that much hotter, so much so that he melted in her soft, warm caress. All he could think about was how much he wanted her and how he wanted to share every moment of this day with her.

Similarly, Rouge couldn't wait to see what Sonic had in store for her today. Ever since she'd first learned who he was, that cool shade of blue had excited her passions like nothing else could, and there were times when her mind was consumed with thoughts of just wanting to be with him and to give him the most mind-blowing experiences of his life. Now that her lips were meeting his, her spine was tingling with the anticipation of finally getting to fulfill her desires, so much so that she'd backed him into a wall as she was kissing him. Eventually, she stopped kissing him, but kept her arms wrapped around him as she pressed her nose against his.

"Rouge…this is one of the happiest days of my life!"

"Speak for yourself, honey! I couldn't wait to tell you how badly I've wanted you!"

"Well, ya got me, so whatever you wanna do, I'm up for it!"

"Well, why don't we spend a little time here first?"

"Hell yeah! We can play video games if that's your bag!"

"You read my mind, Sonic!"

Rouge took off her coat – revealing that she was wearing a strapless pink bodycon dress underneath – and put it on a nearby coat rack. Then, they headed to a leather couch that appeared as though Sonic and Tails had liberated it from some sidewalk and sat down.

"Does it matter what we play?" asked Sonic.

Rouge grabbed a quilt that was sitting on the back of the couch. "Not as long as we're snuggled up under this cozy blanket!"

"Fair enough."

Sonic fired up a modded Xbox 360 Elite, and for a game, he chose Brutal Doom, loading the original Doom within it. As for the game specifics, he chose a basic deathmatch in E2M8, with the first player to reach 25 kills being the winner. Initially, it looked as though Rouge might have an advantage as she got a couple of kills against Sonic using the Plasma Rifle.

"So you're supposed to be The Fastest Thing Alive?" said Rouge.

"Don't get so confident now, Mama! Things are gonna change!"

Indeed, things did change when Sonic picked up an MG-42 – nicknamed "Hitler's Buzzsaw" in that game – and began mowing down Rouge with ease.

"Sonic!" Rouge giggled.

"Yeah, see how it feels now!"

With this rapid-fire weapon at his disposal, Sonic's killing spree was quite extensive, and Rouge teased him about it:

"I swear, if you don't cut that out, I'm gonna…"

"Gonna what?"

Sonic got another kill against Rouge, who promptly wrapped an arm around him and ruffled the quills on top of his head.

"H-hey, stahp!" said Sonic. "That ain't fair!"

"Neither is shooting your beautiful girlfriend with an overpowered machine gun!"

"OK, I see how it is!"

In one swift motion, Sonic grabbed one of Rouge's boobs, causing her to gasp.

"Why, you naughty little…!"

Rouge proceeded to playfully slap Sonic, who returned the favor, and rather than continuing to play the game, they got into a silly little slap fight, each one of them laughing heartily. Eventually, it ended with them lying on top of the couch, still snuggled in the blanket, Rouge on top of Sonic.

"You know, even if you are a cheeky little bastard, you're still the sexiest, funniest, most romantic person I know!" said Rouge.

"Speak for yourself, Mama! You make lovin' even more fun than Fleetwood Mac!"

"Such a sweetie, too!"

"I couldn't tell ya where I got the sweet from, but hearin' anyone call me that – especially you – gives me that drive to keep bein' a hero!"

"And so it should! The fact that you'd selflessly give your time and energy to help your friends out is hot!"

"Rouge, if ya keep callin' me 'hot', I'm gonna grab your boob again!"

Rouge laughed. "OK, Perv-hog! Before we get frisky with each other, I wanna play a couple more video games with you and go out to eat."

"Does it matter where we go?"

Rouge put an index finger up to her mouth. "I figured it'd be fun if you picked the place!"

Sonic smiled. "Then I got just the place in mind!"

After playing Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Tetris for a bit, Sonic ended up taking Rouge out to Joey's Pizza, located in the Grable Park neighborhood of Emerald City's South Terrace borough. In operation even before the Great War, it was practically a must-go destination in the city, not only serving some of the best pizza, but even having – in Sonic's opinion, at least – the best chili dogs, plus a variety of other scrumptious food items such as chicken wings, sandwiches and even ice cream. The décor here was quite well-done as well, with photographs of famous Mobians and scenes of everyday life in Emerald City dotting the walls. When it came to food, Sonic ordered a dozen chili dogs and a Wild Cherry Pepsi, while Rouge ordered five chicken fingers, a medium curly fry and a Mug root beer.

"Big Blue, thank you SO MUCH for taking me here today!" Rouge took a bite of one of her chicken fingers.

"Ain't no thang, Mama! I know it ain't exactly fine dining, but it's probably my go-to joint for chili dogs!"

"Sonic, you don't have to take your girlfriend out to a fancy restaurant to impress her! The fact that you even thought of me means a lot!"

"Well, bein' with ya means a lot to me, too!"

Sonic sucked down a chili dog in one bite, causing Rouge to frown.

"OK, inhaling your food is NOT a good way to impress your girlfriend."

Sonic smiled sheepishly. "Whaaaaat? I can't help it if I'm a big eater!"

Rouge crossed her arms as continued to frown at Sonic, who awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. As serious as she tried to be with him, though, she broke down laughing and slapped her thigh.

"Oh, I can't with you!" said Rouge. "I mean, that smile is killer!"

"Your laugh is somethin' else, too!"

"Awww, thank you! But you know what I really like about eating out with you?"

Sonic leaned closer to Rouge. "What?"

Rouge put her elbows on the table and rested her head in her hands as she looked intently into Sonic's eyes.

"Looking into your beautiful green eyes," said Rouge.

"Yeah, lookin' into yours lights my fire more than The Doors!"

"In fact, yours are like two beautiful emeralds, and I just want to steal them for myself!"

Sonic smirked. "How nice of ya to look outside for jewels considerin' you're the most beautiful and valuable emerald!"

Rouge let out a happy gasp as her eyes widened. "OH MY GOSH, that is the NICEST thing you've ever said to me! I love you SO MUCH!"

"I love ya too!"

And so, Sonic and Rouge continued to gaze lovingly into each other's eyes, Rouge even reaching across the table and putting her hand on Sonic's. As they did this, the Blue Blur reflected on his past and how he thought he could stand on his own without a woman. While he still didn't want to get married, he also loved being with Rouge. Similarly, the jewel thief, despite her flirty, cheeky nature, would only really give her heart to a man who'd truly earned it, and this cool blue hedgehog had earned every inch of it.

"Rouge…"

"Yes?"

"If it's kosher with ya, there's somethin' else I wanted to do after supper…"

"Do tell me, hon."

"I wanna go dancin' with ya at the Glitter Palace."

"Awww, that's so romantic of you! Of course I'll go!"

"Groovy!"

After finishing their meal, Sonic and Rouge headed off to the Glitter Palace discotheque, located in the Greenville neighborhood of the City Center borough. Constructed years ago from the ruins of the Imperial Theater, the "G Palace" – as it was commonly known to locals and aficionados alike – beckoned patrons with its large neon sign above the old marquee, promising a hot time for people from all walks of life, and Sonic and Rouge were no exception. In the lobby, which was decorated with blacklight-lit paintings by E.L. Pendelbury, the two lovebirds could hear the "bump, bump, bump" of the disco beat seducing their earlobes with a promise of great music and great memories, and after showing their IDs to the person manning the counter – who then checked them with a Veritron terminal – they paid their entry fees – actually, Rouge paid them in return for Sonic buying supper – and each received two drink tickets in return. Then, after Rouge had checked her coat in, they stepped out to the dancefloor.

When Sonic and Rouge entered the main dancefloor area, the whole scene struck them like boogie lightning: a group of patrons dancing their asses off to a medley of multicolored lights. The main fixture on the ceiling – aside from the flashing lights – was a 16-point neon "starburst", with each point having three differently-colored segments radiating outwards from an orange neon ring, the whole thing not only able to flash to the tempo of the music, but also able to be programmed to flash in different patterns. Hanging from the center of the "starburst" was a four-foot disco ball. In the middle of the old parquet floor was a large Plexiglas dancefloor covering a multitude of grid squares, each square holding a small strobe light surrounded by a square neon ring of varying colors. Like the starburst, these strobes and neon rings could be programmed to flash in different patterns and also flash to the tempo of the current song. At each corner of the dancefloor was a metal pole with two rows of flashing lights, and each pole was topped with a Mark XII "police" light. To the sides of the dancefloor were two staircases, each newel being topped with a two-foot disco ball. To set the mood appropriately, the DJ was currently playing "I Was Made For Lovin' You" by KISS.

After giving each other a brief look and nod, Sonic and Rouge made their way to the dancefloor. Considering that there were plenty of other people here getting down as well, finding a spot to get up and boogie was a bit of a task. Nevertheless, they managed to find a spot towards the outer edge of the dancefloor, where they proceeded to dance with each other.

From the outset, Sonic was having an extremely good time. While he'd always been into dancing, and while he'd known about a few disco tunes from an early age, the music and the whole culture of going to a nightclub and dancing never really drew him in until he heard "Magic Fly" by Space – coincidentally, the tune that the DJ played next – but from then on, disco became an escape for him. After facing down hordes of malevolent mechanical monsters from Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik in addition to other assorted nasties, nothing relaxed him more than dancing to a good disco song, and the DJ had no shortage of tunes to chill him out, including "Reach Out, I'll Be There" by Gloria Gaynor, "Dance Little Lady Dance" by Tina Charles and "Spacer" by Sheila B. Devotion. Best of all, hearing these songs and seeing how Rouge's eyes sparkled in all the lights made him want to groove even harder. Somehow, dancing with her made the beat throb that much more not just in his eardrums, but throughout his whole body.

Seeing that her blue beau was having a good time made Rouge feel that much better about herself as well. She too had grown up with her fair share of disco music, and when she came of the age where she was actually able to attend the clubs, she went club-hopping whenever she could, making it a point to attend certain clubs at least once depending on which city she went to, for example, hitting up Studio Two when going to San Santos. Even so, certain discotheques drew her in more than others, and the G Palace was one of her top favorites. Whether it was the lights, the sound system or the musical selection, she wanted to keep coming over and over again, and speaking of the musical selection, with songs like "Dancing in the Moonlight" by Paul Zaza & Carl Zittrer, "20th Century Foxes" by Angel, and "Astroport" by Milkways playing, she just wanted to get lost in dance forever.

As much as Sonic and Rouge wanted to get lost in dance, they couldn't do so forever, and by the time the DJ was spinning "Space Ranger" by Araxis, they decided to call it a night. Rouge wiped the sweat off her brow as she commented on the night:

"Phew, I don't think I've ever danced THAT hard before! You really wore me out, Honey-hog!"

"Aw, too bad! I coulda kept groovin' for the whole night if I wanted to!"

Rouge put a hand on Sonic's shoulder. "Oh, sure! Maybe YOU could have! I, however, would prefer to end this night with a bang!"

"Your place or mine, Mama?"

"Let's go back to yours! Shaddy's staying at my place tonight and I figured he could use some space. Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if a certain someone we knew was there with him."

"Knowin' either of 'em, I wouldn't be surprised."

And so, Sonic and Rouge headed back to the former's cabin at Azure Lake Zone. When they got there, Tails hadn't gotten back, so Sonic called him:

"Hello?"

"Yo Tails, it's Sonic."

"What's up?"

"I got back to our pad. Everything good at your end?"

"Everything's fine. I'm just staying over with Zooey tonight."

"OK, cool. See ya tomorrow!"

"Bye!"

Both parties hung up. Rouge put a hand on Sonic's shoulder:

"Big Blue, that was really sexy of you to check up on Fox Boy like that!"

"What can I say? I'm just doin' what any guy would do for his best friend, ya know?"

"God, you are the biggest sweetheart I've ever met!"

"I try!"

"You do more than try, hon. Now enough chit-chat, I'm getting cold out here!"

Sonic and Rouge stepped inside.

"So Rouge, we gonna get it on or what?"

"We sure are! I do, however, wanna take a shower first; disco dancing really made me work up a sweat!"

Sonic nodded. "OK, cool."

Sonic led Rouge over to the bathroom. While not the largest bathroom ever, the bathtub/shower was large enough for the two lovebirds. After Sonic turned the shower water on and let it warm up for a bit, him and Rouge stepped in after disrobing and proceeded to soak for a bit. After that, Sonic cracked open a bottle of a combination shampoo/body wash and proceeded to squirt some in his hand, after which he squirted some for Rouge as well. After they rubbed their hands together, they proceeded to wash each other. Sonic almost froze when Rouge started washing his head, which caused her to pause as well.

"What's the matter, Sweetie-hog?"

"Nothin'. It's just…that feels so good."

"Your hands feel good on me too, silly!"

After this brief pause, Sonic continued to wash Rouge, and she did the same to him. For him, the combination of rubbing his hands all over a beautiful naked woman and having her return the favor was so heavenly and divine like nothing else he'd known before. Best of all, he could still feel the beat of the disco music pounding throughout his body, which heightened his enjoyment and melted away the rest of what was troubling him.

"Rouge…"

"Yes?"

"I'm sure ya heard this thousands of times over, but you have the nicest body of any woman I've ever seen!"

Rouge giggled. "I mean, sure, I've heard that one before, but hearing it from you means so much to me!"

Rouge smiled as she continued to wash Sonic. Sharing the same attraction that he felt towards her, she didn't mind him rubbing his hands all over her body. As a matter of fact, she actually welcomed his heavenly touch. Feeling him caress her like this, in addition to rubbing her fingers through his soft quills, she wanted him more and more, and because of this, the shower felt hotter than it really was. All she could think about was how badly she wanted to do it with him, and it was this raw, animalistic desire that led her to move her hands lower and lower until…

"Um…Rouge…" Sonic blushed.

"What's the matter, Sexhog? Don't you like it when a hot girl touches your cock?"

"I…well…I do…but…"

Rouge continued to smile. "Don't act all coy with me. I know you just want me to climb in your bed with you and fuck you hard."

Sonic nodded nervously. "Y-yeah!"

"Good, because ever since I met you, there's nothing I've wanted more than to fuck the great Sonic the Hedgehog!"

Sonic got a nervous smile. "Heh heh…Rouge…I uh…I'm really hard right now…"

"Of course you are! The sooner we finish washing up, the sooner we can fuck!"

Rouge kissed Sonic. Despite being flustered by her dirty talk, he gladly welcomed her touch and did his best to continue washing her. Soon enough, they finished up, and after getting out, they dried each other off.

"I just remembered somethin'…" said Sonic.

"Yes?"

"We can't do it with each other with stinky food breath! Let's brush our teeth first!"

"Good idea!"

Sonic and Rouge brushed and flossed before heading for the bed, where Rouge climbed on top of Sonic, who put a condom on.

"Are you ready for what I'm about to give you, Sexhog?"

Sonic smiled and nodded. "As ready as I'll ever be."

Rouge bared her fangs at Sonic. "Good."

Sonic took a deep breath and braced himself for what was about to come. In one swift motion, Rouge mounted him, and shortly thereafter, she began to thrust. Sonic gasped when he felt how warm and wet she was. Nevertheless, he lied back and let the sensation take him over. This was, after all, supposed to be a fun, happy activity.

"So, you like having a hot Valentine's Day fuck with Mama Rouge? Hm?"

Sonic nodded. "Y-yeah!"

Even if he was still flustered by the fact that Rouge was talking dirty to him as they were making love, Sonic welcomed the whole experience. Knowing that all of the fun he'd had with her had led up to this one hot, sensual moment, he wanted to be with her forever. Granted, he was troubled by the question of how long he was going to last considering how hot she was, but he did his best not to focus on that so much as the fact that he had an enjoyable time with her. He also wondered what the whole thing must feel like for her. Given how much she was moaning, he figured she was really turned on by him, and his Hedgehog Sense was telling him that her enjoyment was genuine, which made him feel better about himself.

"Fuck yeah!" said Rouge. "Cum for me, Sonic! I want you so bad!"

Rouge moaned more loudly as she continued to make love to Sonic. Knowing that she was getting it on with none other than the famous Sonic the Hedgehog, she thrust harder and faster, unable to think of anything else besides how much she wanted him. Sure, this wasn't her first time making love to someone else, but considering she held a genuine, mutual attraction for him, it was thus far turning out to be her favorite. What really sealed the deal for her was the fact that it was on Valentine's Day. With every thrust, she got closer and closer to achieving her dream of dominating Ol' Blue, until…

"Rouge…I'M GONNA CUM!"

"Yes! YES! YES!"

Sonic gasped as he had the biggest orgasm he'd ever had in his life, which not only led to Rouge having a similarly earthshaking orgasm, but also biting him on the neck the moment she did so. Despite yelping from the pain of feeling her fangs sink into her, he continued to embrace her tightly as he came really hard, digging his fingernails into her backside. Meanwhile, as the waves of pleasure radiated throughout her body, Rouge continued doing it with Sonic, not wanting to stop until he'd been well and truly drained. Soon, she came down off of her high and thrust slower and slower until she was well and truly done, but kept her fangs sunk into his neck as she remained mounted to him, frozen in a sensual post-coital embrace. Soon enough, she released her fangs from his neck as she dismounted him.

"Was that really good for you or what?" said Rouge.

"Rouge…holy fuck…"

Rouge smiled. "I'll take that as a 'yes'! Now let's clean up!"

After cleaning up, Sonic and Rouge snuggled with each other.

"Rouge, thanks again for comin' over! This has been the BEST Valentine's Day ever!"

"Speak for yourself, Loverhog! This is probably the first time I've ever felt genuine, sincere love for another boy!"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Disco! Now tell me: what was up with the whole 'bitin' me on the neck' thing?"

"Oh, that's just a bat instinct! Whenever we have sex with someone we're genuinely attracted to, we bite them on the neck during orgasm, which reminds me…"

"Yeah?"

"Sonic the Hedgehog, when I first laid my eyes on a photo of you, I fingered myself while thinking about you."

"Get outta here!"

"No, I'm serious!"

"I believe ya! Actually, I gotta be honest, too: the day after I met ya, I also jacked off thinkin' about you."

"Well, it must be nice to have the real thing now, hm? I know I certainly enjoyed you!"

"I enjoyed ya too, Mama! I mean, I don't wanna get married, but I don't think I'm ever gonna wanna be with another woman, either."

"We don't have to get married, you know! Lots of people live together and love each other without ever getting married!"

"Good point. Anyways, havin' sex made me tired, so I'm gonna can it for tonight. Before I do, I just wanna tell ya that I love ya a lot, Rouge the Bat!"

"And I love you a lot too, Sonic the Hedgehog!"

Sonic and Rouge kissed each other before turning out the lights. For both parties, it was a holiday to remember.

Criticism is gold. Negativity and nitpicking are pyrite.
