Chapter 12: Scarlet Discord

This was all too familiar, being held down, cries ignored, this was all too familiar to his early morning experience. He was frightened, but the pink hedgehog was still too lost in her yummy fantasy, that she didn't notice. Until the boy cried out once more. "AMY! LET GO!"

The pink hedgehog above finally snapped out of her dreamy daze, she quickly released her friend, when she saw the terrified look on the boys face. She didn't mean to frighten him. Hell she didn't even mean to jump on him.

Giggling nervously, she rolled off of her frightened companion. Sitting next to him she gently pat his forehead. "O-oh sorry Fluffykins! I-I got carried away with some...thought's" she blushed.

Silver remained un-responsive, he just lay there, eyes wide and glassy, giving the impression he was about to cry. This worried the pink hedgehog.

"S-Silver? Aw, don't cry, I didn't mean to jump you like that. I just got carried away, you wanna know why?" she asked, hoping he'd give some sort of response.

With a sigh of defeat, the white hedgehog draped his arm over his eyes, as he answered softly. "Why, Amy? Why did you break into my home, do all these things, and jump me?"

He never received a verbal answer, all he heard was a giggle, then nothing. He removed his arm from his eyes when he felt her move. "Amy." He sighed, sitting up when the pink hedgehog hopped off the bed and dropped to the floor. "Amy? What are you doing?" "This is what I'm doing!" she giggled, and lifted an over-stuffed, pink suitcase onto the bed.

"Wait! Was that, what was making all the noise?" The boy huffed, as he reached out to grab the case, but has his hands slapped away. "Ah-ah, no touchy, just looky. And yes, this thing kept falling everytime I tried to stand it up. Think I over packed it?Heehee."

Silver just sat there, slightly dumbfounded, while his friend literally ripped open the case, the contents inside almost bursting out. "Oops, guess I did pack too much!" Amy giggled, and tipped the case over emptying all the frilly, pink, girly, clothes on the confused boys lap.

"Amy! What is all the this?" the amber eyed boy whined as he picked up a purple lacey, article of clothing. The pink hedgehog just smirked. "Silver, I'm gonna sexify you up!" she cried, rummaging through the pile of clothes.

"Hmm, pink? Not your colour? Frilly panties? Mmmm too babyish! Uhh, Miku Cosplay? Mmmm, nahh! " "Amy, don't you-" "Hush boy, I'm working! Mmmm maid? No, too over-used! Leather cat suit? Gag! Why do I even have that? Mmmm, pirate wench? Nah." "Oh for the-" "Sshh! Hmm, oh how about- ah, tartan isn't your style." "Oh chaos-" "Do I need to shove a pie in that big gob of yours? Now where was I? Oh! Oohh sailor school girl outfit? Mmmm, nah!"

The poor boy just sat there, confused by and afraid of the entire situation. He didn't understand what was happening, and part of him didn't really want to know.

"Hmmm. Ah, oohhh Black Elegance!" She purred, pulling up a black velvet, corset dress, the front of the dress was short, while at the back was a floor length bustle. Gothic Chic, she called it, and she just knew it would look delectable on the fluffy hedgehog, with a few accessories of course.

Licking her lips, Amy smirked slyly at her friend. "Uh-uh, A-Amy, whatever you're thinking, stop it! You're freaking me AH! Hey get off me!" "Oh come on Fluffykins, you'll so sexy for your Sonikku!"

As the boy protested and as the hyper girl tried to force him into the dress, back in the home of the ebony hog, both azure and ebony hedgehogs were arguing once again. No surprise there.

"No way! Who the hell would be messing with us?!" The azure teen huffed in anger, teeth grinding as he paced back and forth in the living room.

The ebony hedgehog released a sigh of frustration. Stepping forward he placed a hand on the speedster's shoulder, stopping him and his irritating pacing. "Idiot, your pacing is not helping anyone. Come, we have to make sure Silver, is safe. If your theory is correct..." he trailed off, he didn't need to elaborate on what might happen, if someone really was playing with their feelings and actions, just to get to Silver.

The blue blur shook his head, eyes narrowing, fists clenching. The idea of someone laying their filthy hands on his lover, hurting him, made his blood boil. Ironically enough, this time he didn't remember that HE himself had hurt the boy. Ironic.

"Well, what are we waiting here for, c'mon, whip out that emerald already. Chaos control, warp, teleport us, or whatever to Silvs, right now!"

Shadow never appreciated being told, no ORDERED, to do anything, many ended up being threatened or mentally scarred. However, this was an emergency. So he complied, gently gripping Sonic's shoulder, his signature emerald in his free hand, as he called out "Chaos Control!"

Both hedgehog closed their eyes, as the bright light enveloped them, before fading away leaving the living room empty.

No sooner had the hedgehog's disappeared, they re-appeared, in the now romantically set living room of Sonic the hedgehog. Crimson and emerald eyes widened in surprise at the sight.

Curtains closed, candles, roses, rose petals, what was going on here?

"Did Silver do all this?" the blue thought out loud, emerald eyes now focused on the trail of rose petals on the floor. He blushed furiously when he noticed the trail led up the stairs. "D-did he do this? For me?"

The ebony hedgehog glared at his blue counterpart, he didn't have time for this nonsense. "Don't start thinking with your reproductive organs,idiot. Making sure he's safe is our top priority. Even if this is his doing, it's not natural for him to be this quiet. Listen."

Blue ears perked, straining to hear something, anything, but not a sound entered his ears. "I don't hear anything."

"Exactly my point. Silver, quiet and docile as he generally may be, is never THIS quiet, he hates being alone, would usually have music playing or the television on, just so the he could hear something. It made him feel less paranoid." The older hedgehog stated, walking passed the blue hedgehog and into the dining area.

Sonic remained in the living, just standing there as he took in this new information. "He hates being alone?" Honestly, Sonic never knew about that one, Silver seemed happy to stay at home when Sonic went for a run. He had usually insisted that the young hedgehog join him, yet Silver always politely declined.

It wasn't until now, that Sonic had really thought about the reason why the futuristic hedgehog turned him down when it came to running or adventure.

That's when it hit him. Running. Silver wasn't exactly fast, he depended on his psychokinetic abilities, but now without them, he wasn't really strong or fast.

Blue ears fell flat, as Sonic came to the conclusion, that with all his gloating about his high speeds and thirst for danger, may have made the white hedgehog feel weak, perhaps feel like a burden to the speedster's if he ever did decide to join him.

"Smooth, Sonic. Real smooth."

It was then Shadow came back into the room, only to find the blue blur standing there like a lost puppy. "Faker, I suggest you ACTUALLY do something, rather th-"

"H-HEY! STOP THAT!"

"Silver!" Both hedgehogs yelled in unison as they darted up the stairs.

"N-No! I don't need the gag! I'll be good!"

"There!" the blue blur yelled, pointing at his slightly open bedroom door. With a simple nod, both hedgehog burst into the room, ready to rip apart the one hurting the object of their affections.

It was only when they noticed the silver hedgehog sprawled out on the bed, in the same pose as before (wrists cuffed to the bed post this time, however), wearing the Black Elegance. A black velvet choker, with diamond fish bone charm, was gently tied around his neck. His thick white gloves no longer graced his hands, in their stead were an elegant pair of black lace gloves, that made his hands look smaller, even more delicate.

Amber eyes widened at the sight of his lover and his ex, standing in the doorway, confusion, amusement and was that lust in their eyes?

Finally the pink hedgehog turned her gaze towards the two hedgehog's. A sweet smile making it way to her lips, as she stood up, and sprinkled more rose petals onto the dumbstruck hedgehog, before addressing the speedy hogs.

"Hey guys!" She giggled. "This is interesting, I was expecting Sonikku, but not Shadow-kun too! My, my, Fluffykins, you are the popular boy aren't you?" She teased, and gently pat the young hedgehog on the head, awakening him from his state of shock.

"Well, I'm outta here, my work of love, is done. So Imma hand you the key to those cuffs, oh and there's PLENTY of things to use in my suitcase, just clean or burn them when you're done, kay? Later boys." The pink hedgehog giggled as she waved the tiny silver key in front of the blue hedgehogs face.

He was still dumbfounded by this whole scene, but he took the key, and stepped aside, allowing Amy to exit.

"NO! NO! NO! Get Back here Amy! Or I'm gonna kill you!"

His only response was high pitched laugh followed by a slam of the front door.

"Well this couldn't get more awkward!" The boy moaned, wishing at this very moment Amy would come back and get him out of this awkward situation, but then again, his homicidal urges may rise to extreme levels. "Why meee!" he whined, he started pulling at the cuffs, hoping that they would be cheap and easy to break.

Sonic, just stared at the boy, he looked delectable in that outfit, that pose, and his soft whine's made it hard not want to reach out, and touch- "Faker! Un-cuff him!" Shadow yelled, knocking the speedster out of his thoughts. "Huh, oh, y-yeah, I've the key, heh. Ehem, yeah. Hey, Silvs, it's ok."

Shadow watched the other hedgehog make his way over to the frustrated boy. Although Shadow did not trust Sonic, after what he did to the boy, he knew there would be a fuss made if he took the key himself, a possible argument would break out, causing Silver even more stress and embarrassment.

So he watched them carefully, fingers flexing anxiously, if force was needed to subdue the speed demon, he'd be ready.

Sitting on the bed next to the blushing hog, Sonic gently stroked his cheek, as a form of reassurance. "It's all good, Fluffs, here, I'll get ya out of these."

As soon as those cuffs released his wrists, the white hedgehog jumped off the bed and darted to a corner of the room. He needed to be far away from that bed as possible at the moment.

"Silver? Are you, alright?" the crimson striped hedgehog stepped forward, hand reaching out to the amber eyed hedgehog.

"Do I look alright?!" The white hedgehog, hissed, making both ebony and azure wince. "I've been pounced on like a piece of meat, forced to wear women's clothing, forced to be sexified, what ever the hell that means! Tied up and then left for you two! Dammit I don't understand! Why are you here anyway? I thought you had those dumb emeralds to talk about."

"Well, he's pissed." "Ah, calm down, Silvs. I know Amy annoyed ya, and I know we didn't exactly help, by staring, and all, but that outfit, does look REALLY good on you."

Silver glared at his boyfriend as he wrapped his arms around himself, in a vain attempt to cover himself up. In a monotone voice, he said "There's a knife in here somewhere. Tell me this dress looks good on me again, I dare you."

A nervous laughed could he beard from the azure hedgehog. "Oh d-don't be like that, I-I -" "What, Sonic is trying to say, " Shadow cut in "is that...we have discovered a strange pattern...involving chaos energy."

"Yeah, that'll do."

"This pattern, has led us to believe that something may happen. Since the three of us, are well acquainted with chaos and it's energy, it is possibly that this 'something', may happen to either of us."

When the amber eyed boy said nothing, the older hedgehog nodded, taking his as a hint to continue further. "We feared that, you may have been in danger. At least with the two of us with you, even if something did threaten your health, or even your very life, we'd be here to protect you."

Taking a few steps forward, the ebony hedgehog held out a gloved hand once more. "Understand?"

Silver gave a sigh of defeat, but didn't take the older hedgehogs hand. Instead he turned away from him. "Ok, I understand. Now please, can you both just leave me alone? I wanna get out of this thing and take a nap!" He hissed, still not even giving the other hedgehogs a small glance. He couldn't look at them right now, he was too embarrassed!

Both hedgehog's winced at their companions reaction, however, not wanting to upset him further, they did as told and both left the room. Each of them quietly saying "I'll be right downstairs if you need anything." The weird unison went unnoticed, and both hedgehogs left the amber eyed boy alone.

As soon as he heard the door click shut, Silver immediately tried ripping the dress off. "Ugh, stupid corset! " he groaned, trying to untie the corset laces, only to have his fingers getting tangled up in the laces themselves.

He finally gave up trying to undo the ridiculous ties, he was too frustrated, he wouldn't dare ask Shadow or Sonic to help with the ties, he didn't to lose what little dignity he had left.

"Why me?" he sighed, throwing himself onto the bed, curling up and hugging his Sonic plush tightly. "If this gets any worse, I swear..." he muttered, closing his eyes and squirming a little trying to get comfy.

While the boy tried to get some well deserved shut eye, downstairs another argument broke out between the hero and the anti.

"What were you thinking? ' You look REALLY good in that dress'. Idiot, that did nothing for his confidence!" the black hedgehog huffed, shoving passed his rival to get to the light switches.

"Alright, I know, not the best thing to say, considering how sensitive and fragile he is right now." He sighed, as snuffed out each candle that decorated the room. However, when he heard the dark hedgehog scoff, he couldn't help but glare dangerously and hiss. "What? You got something to say?"

After flicking on the lights, the ani-hero turned to face his blue rival, crimson eyes burning into him with a deep hatred. "You know what I'm going to say, Faker. Granted that boy is sensitive by nature, you, sir, are the one who broke him. Even if this was a, possession of some sort, I still can't forgive you."

A snort was the only thing heard, before the blue hedgehog darted towards red stripped hedgehog, however, Shadow dodged just in time before the blue teen could lay a hand on him.

"Get a hold of yourself, Faker!" the crimson eyed hedgehog snarled, standing with his arms by his sides, showing he didn't want to fight. What would fighting do?

"No, Shadow! I'm tired of you blaming me! I-I know that, psychically it was me that hurt him, but, something took over! Something that wasn't ME! " The speedster huffed, emerald eyes narrowed dangerously, fists clenched, teeth ground. "Besides! Who are you to talk?! You left him! Abandoned him! Don't you think that hurt him?! You screwed him up! Yo-"

"Enough!"

Both hedgehogs stared at one another for a moment, the ebony hedgehog gave a sigh of defeat. "Yes, I agree, I was no better, even if my mind too, had been corrupted, I cannot be forgiven. Look, fighting will get us no where, we were both supposed to take care of him, pfft, ALL of us agreed to take care of him, and I think we've all done a terrible job."

Emerald eyes softened, and with a sigh the blue blur nodded. "Yeah, we did. But we can make this right! We can protect him, from whatever may be screwing us all over, we won't fail this time Shads." Giving a small smile, the hero held out his hand to the dark hedgehog.

With a slight nod the ebony hog took hold of his rivals hand, and shook it gently. "Alright now, let us go over a list. A list of those who want to seek their revenge on either you, or I, or perhaps both."

With a chuckle the blue hedgehog collapsed onto the couch, hand on his forehead as he tried to think. "Wow, that may be a pretty long list, Shads. I mean, I'm pretty popular with bad guys these days."

Perhaps this would more difficult than first thought.
