Thank you to everyone who has reviewed. This story is a lot more popular than I thought it would be.
Before the two of them could enter the city, they were stopped by several GUN soldiers who had many guns pointed at the two of them. A growl sounded in Shadow's throat. Sonic stepped in front of Shadow before the dark one lost his temper and attacked them.
"Listen guys, we're not here to cause trouble. We're just two hedgehogs in need of a good meal, let us in," Sonic said casually. Shadow frowned at how laid-back back Sonic was in a situation like this.
"Hedgehogs?" One of the men asked, sounding confused.
"Yeah… didn't you hear me or something?" Sonic said while scratching the side of his head.
"UGH!" both Sonic and Shadow exclaimed as they were hit in the neck with tranquilisers. Sonic stumbled back and fell into Shadow's arms, causing the dark hedgehog to also stumble back and fall to the floor. Sonic turned to his side and tried to get up, but he was too weak. Shadow had already passed out due to being weakened beforehand by a long imprisonment underground. The blue one looked up, for a second he saw the soldiers approach them, then everything went black for him.
The next thing he saw, was white, all white. Sonic looked around him, he was in a room where the walls, ceiling and floor were all white. The hedgehog was in a large bed, its covers were also colourless like the rest of the room. A foot away from him, was Shadow, also tucked up under the covers.
Another noticeable feature in the room was the mirror on the other side. Sonic swung his legs to the side and sat on the edge of the bed. His feet gently touched the floor, it was hard, cold and shiny. This could be felt through his socks. The curious hedgehog walked over to the mirror and tapped on the glass. "I know someone's in there watching us. This is no mirror, it's one way glass," Sonic yelled. "What's going on here!?"
No answer.
Sonic returned to the back of the room where the bed was. On the floor at his side, was his shoes. He put them on. This certainly wasn't an arrest, Sonic thought. This was too cosy for a place like Prison Island or other building of captivity. Unless this was how criminals were treated in the future.
The troubled hedgehog looked around the room again and admired the other features. By the large mirror was a door, it looked strong so there was no point in trying to break it. At the wall on the left side was another door, it was smaller. Sonic supposed it was a cupboard of some sort. On the wall at the other side, another door, with a symbol on it. The symbol for male anthrop, which meant it was bathroom.
When he looked over to Shadow, he noticed that the dark hedgehog was still fast asleep, unaware he'd shared a bed with his rival. Sonic didn't mind much, it wasn't as if they'd made contact, it was a large bed and they were a comfortable distance apart. When Shadow began to stir, which made Sonic feel uneasy. He knew the miserable hedgehog wouldn't see it in the same way.
Sonic froze as he saw Shadow's eyes shoot open, his red irises darted in Sonic's direction, he was furious.
"What that f-"
"Shadow, it's not what it looks like!" Sonic exclaimed as Shadow got up out of bed and into a defensive stance. "This is how we were left by GUN, and look at the space between us." This failed to calm Shadow down.
Just then, the door a the front of the room opened, revealing a few humans dressed in white coats. Shadow felt uneasy at the presence of scientists, it only meant that sinister things were to be done to the two of them. Both hedgehogs turned to face them, standing either side of the bed.
"You're both awake now," one of the tall male humans pointed out.
"Why are we here?" Sonic asked, also getting into a defensive stance.
"You are aware that you're the last two hedgehogs in existence, right? Your species was thought to have gone extinct decades ago," the same man explained. Sonic and Shadow looked at each other with mouths gaped open. Shadow frowned and folded his arms.
"Well, you don't have to worry about our species going extinct any time soon, I'm immortal," he explained calmly.
"That's no good though, it takes two to reproduce."
Sonic began to chuckle. "Shame we're both boys, isn't it then? We can't have kids."
"But you can… with the power of chaos," another scientist enlightened.
Shadow looked at the humans in disgust, Sonic's smile grew wider. The dark one looked even more disgusted when he noticed Sonic's amusement.
"You're agreeing with them, Sonic?" he hissed.
"Nope. They've got to be joking."
"I don't think they are joking, would they really stand here and prank us, Sonic?" Shadow said seriously. "They want us to reproduce."
"Yeah, well it's not going to happen. I'm straight!" the hero exclaimed. "Men don't do it for me, especially not that Faker!"
"Hmph, you're not my type either, Faker," Shadow said, sounding just as stubborn.
"What kind of relationship do you two have?" they were asked.
"Allies."
"Friends."
They both answered simultaneously. Sonic looked at Shadow in offence, Shadow looked away awkwardly.
"Well, I thought after saving you from being buried alive, you'd at least see me as a friend," Sonic scoffed and looked away. "You're welcome!"
Both hedgehogs were facing away from each other, there was no chance of getting friendly with each other, never mind becoming intimate.
"Please, your species is in danger!" the closest human exclaimed. "Do it for us!"
"For you!? You humans deserve it nothing! You treat our kind like crap and you think that we should do this for you? You make me sick," Shadow spat. "Two hundred years on and you're still dividing humans and anthrops… I wouldn't want my children to live in a world where this is happening, no fucking chance."
"Do it for the sake of your race then."
Shadow frowned even more. "What, so you can discriminate against them too?" the hedgehog was fuming. The was no chance of persuasion.
"Fine then. We had a feeling this wouldn't work so easily, so we had a second plan," one of the humans said seriously and walked over to the small door on the left side of the room, with the use of keys, he opened it.
Shadow walked forward and peered inside from the distance. It was a very small, tight space. No more than 1 metre squared in floor space, and the height of the hedgehogs themselves, the room was also dimly lit.
"If you're not going to get intimate, we'll make you intimate."
Sonic and Shadow stood on the spot with their arms folded, staying strong and remaining stubborn as always. They were crowded by the group of scientist and coaxed into the box like room. The door was slammed in the hedgehog's faces. "Well that was easy enough," they were heard saying from the outside, then silence.
"They're gone…" Sonic said quietly, but grunted when he realised how close he was to Shadow. "Ugh, such a tight squeeze… think you could move over a bit?"
"I am moved over… as far as I can go, it's you who needs to move over, Faker!"
"Can't, I'm squashed already… get your elbow out of my ribs!"
"No! Get your quills out of my face!"
The two of them shuffled to try and get comfortable.
"Ah, don't stand on my foot!" Shadow yelled, noticing he only had socks on and he'd been stood on by someone who had shoes on.
"Didn't mean it, now stop breathing on me- MPHMM!"
"Maybe you should get out my face then!" Shadow said, putting his hands over Sonic's muzzle. Sonic put his arms out frantically, to get Shadow off of him.
"OWW! My eye Faker! Be careful!"
"Geddoffammethen!"
"What did you say- AHH!" Shadow took his hand away and shook it as he felt Sonic's teeth dig in to it's flesh after his muffled words.
They were silent for a few seconds while they caught their breath after all of the struggling.
"S-Shadow… know how those energy drinks we had… ung…" Sonic groaned.
"Yes Faker?" Shadow grumbled, he wasn't at all interested.
"I gotta go… badly."
Shadow's eyes widened in shock and anger. "Don't you dare, Faker!"
"Please Shadow, don't you have to too-" Sonic was cut off by a loud and abrupt growl from Shadow's throat. "It has to come out noooowwww."
"Stop whining, Faker," Shadow scolded and elbowed the annoyance in the lower abdomen. The blue one gave a squeak of desperation and decided to stay quiet about the matter.
"What do we do, Shadow?"
"I don't know, Faker. For now, we'll just wait. They can't keep us in here forever. If they want you alive… they'll have to feed you, that's when we make our escape," Shadow planned. Sonic nodded in agreement.
Feeding time couldn't come any sooner.
