Author Note: FINALLY FINISHED IT! Took longer than i expected...As I said though I was going to finish it early! No peek for now I might do it for incoming chapters though:) Enjoy!
"One more..."
"My majesty I think that's good enough." Lancelot got a glare from the hero that was neither impressed nor intending to stop.
With little alcohol in the system made the already talkative king further loquacious. Oh gracious the hedgehog had much to share. The stories were fascinating to say the least, his life was anything but dull.
"...you..you doooiint..tell me what to do.." Sonic stumbled on the words. Confirmed, the drinking had overextended. The stories didn't equal worth of Sonics defenseless condition.
The ruby eyes scanned the hero that rested his head on the counter at the patron. His gloved hand wrapped around the now empty glass with inquisitive eyes directed to him.
The bartender wasn't entirely sure how to proceed. Serve or wait for the knight to make a maneuver. He personally reflected the same thought as the knight. However, none should protest the king's wishes.
The inn was otherwise empty apart from the three of them. Lancelot took the liberty to send death threats to anyone who entered. He disapproved this idea greatly even though suggesting it.
One should not witness their king drunk! So the knight took it in hand to defend his dignity. Sonic yawned as the hour made itself known, it was late…
Lancelot let a concerned expression slip through his features. This wasn't healthy that he knew! A small giggle escaped the speed demon.
"That expression priceless!" Sonic continue to snicker with an impish grin. The knight found himself flustered once again.
"I don't understand what is so humorous my lord." Lancelot frowned as his worry had turned into mockery. His fists clenched in frustration that was growing. Yes, he cared about Sonic but to be treated like a fool doing so was impolite. It challenged his patience.
Sonic sat upright still wearing that smug grin.
"You don't NEED to understand." He responded teasingly before he looked down to his empty glass.
"I said more..." Sonic leaned forward with the glass in a loose grip. He gave the bartender an impatient frown making him flinch. The man would protest but this was the king…
"A word of advice..its late and it's well time to sleep." Lancelot empathize distracting the King from replenishment and instead turned his attention to the window only see darkness.
That playful smile returned before the emerald orbs met ruby.
"I thought the ultimate life form didn't need rest~" he lazily put down the glass eyes fixate on the other. The mention of his new proclaimed title baffled the knight.
He didn't follow where this statement came from nor question it. That could potentially lead into a pointless discussion, a one sided at that.
Instead replied as much as he comprehended.
"I may be ultimate but even I need rest." To his relief the King nodded still wearing that smug grin.
"Even the great Shadow need to rest." Sonic chuckled and without warning placed his hand on the ebony forehead. A low gasp escaped the knight that froze on spot. Shadow? A new nickname? The millisecond thoughts were thrown aside quickly as Sonic turned to pat him gently.
A blush blossomed his tan muzzle as ruby eyes widened. Embarrassing was an understatement! Sonic showed a stage of worry that soon swiftly turned into joy, for whatever reason.
The bartender was just as shocked, the king soon fondled the crimson quills gently between his fingertips. The knight wished to pull away but remained put.
The emerald eyes shined in excitement as if he achieved something impossible. Lancelot scowled, concluding the best option to shoot a disapproving glance.
Sonic rolled his eyes before he leaned forward bringing the hand back. His breath touched the ebony ear making it twitch.
"Don't worry your secret is safe with me." Sonic assured entering his personal space without second thought. Mental note, never make Sonic drunk! The king got out from his chair only to fall down to the floor instead. Lancelot took the opportunity to death glare the bartender.
"You tell anyone about this I swear I will burn this place down skin you alive and disgrace your whole family in that order!" He growled making the man shiver in terror. Knowing he sent the message he could turn to tend his fallen King.
"Don't worry I got this!" Sonic giggled before he was back on his feet but wobble left to right.
Lancelot shook his head, they wouldn't reach the castle without notice.
No now it was turn to take charge of the situation before something bad happened.
He picked up the disorient hedgehog in bridal style that earned a yelp out of him. Lancelot sent a last glare at the man before kicking the door open to departure in a sonic boom.
Sonic let out complains that went unheard but surely noticed in the grip as he became a hassle to carry.
But nevertheless able to smoothly avoid obstacles. The golden streak was the only thing seen as he followed the main road to the castle. Soon the wall surrounding the architecture was in view. Not had the knight been happier!
Instead of going through the current closed gate he prepared a leap. Just a few meters away he deactivated the skates. With precise calculation he touched the ground only to thrust up airborne.
The pavement cracked upon the sudden impact as the pair of hedgehogs flew upwards.
"Whohoooo!" Sonic cheered with outstretched arms finally enjoying the ride. Time seemed to slow down as they were just above the wall. Lancelot looked down at the excited hedgehog in his arms and smiled. His ruby eyes reflected the same joy Sonic experienced.
How could someone so heroic exist? Perhaps Sonic wasn't destined to rule but he surely earned it. Yes, Lancelot was very proud of serving his king.
The moment was short-lived as he activated the skates to ease the landing. Sonic snicker lowly in the ebony arms. That caught Lancelot's curiosity but didn't ask. He decreased the pace as they neared the entrance.
To his relief spotted the feline knight Percival at the gate and not some guard. He slowed down to stop in front of her.
Her visor was up allowing her golden eyes to show that seemed to glow with knowledge. She didn't express any emotion but instead focused on the drunk hedgehog rested in Lancelot's arms.
"I will inform the rest of the king's arrival." She said without interrogation. The king was clearly drunk and needed to rest it off. She turned to walk but stopped for a second. The feline gave a small bow finally able to relax after a stressful day.
"Glad to see you back in safety my lord. I wish you good dreams."
"I will! Hope you get it too princess!" This threw both knights off guard. They exchanged looks bewildered of why he addressed her as such.
Sonic soon forcefully freed himself from the grip and was back on his feet. He wobbled once again and used the knight as the ultimate support to remain on his feet.
Lancelot sighed as he helped the king stand steady. He sent a glare at the feline when she smiled adoring the scene. Not did it affect her, no she was more than used to it. But she could take a hint and pulled down her visor before leaving the two.
"I can walk.." Sonic whispered but smiled in appreciation. The knight shook his head before he pulled the king close to his side.
"No I insist, let me aid you." The king chuckled at the response before he nodded in approval. They slowly made their way to his sleeping courters.
To his relief also didn't encounter any servants nor guards. Lancelot stopped in front of the door and looked down to his king. His ruby eyes met emerald that was glowing deviously. Lancelot felt instantly uncomfortable, something was not right.
"You insisted of taking care of me...then open the door.." Sonic tapped it with his index finger not turning his eyes from the knight. Lancelot was busy observing the hedgehog trying to figure out the hidden intention.
"Or am I..asking too much?" The knight instantly shook his head. Of course not!
"You surely not my lord." Lancelot answered as he was already intending to.
"A lord am I..." Sonic mused before Lancelot opened the door letting him enter first. The emerald eyes scanning the Knights form ever so often. Whatever took the hold of the king's balance had worn off. Meaning the knight didn't have to help him any further.
"I need to get some rest as well you my lord. I speak with you tomorrow." He was about to part with the other but a hand wrapped around his wrist prevented him.
The knight looked down at the caught arm before scowling. Sonic however was grinning playfully not showing any signs of exhaustion.
It was past midnight and Lancelot didn't wish to stay awake any longer.
"My lord..we both need to sleep." The grip tightens.
"Let's go to bed then!" Sonic said excited before he forcefully yanked the knight along with him.
"No..no Wait!..You majesty.. This…this is your sleeping courters not mine." He tried to stay calm as they approached the bed. Never have the knight felt this uncomfortable, it was completely foreign.
Sonics behavior no matter how intoxicatingly was more than confusing. The interactions between them have been few..to few. Yet Sonic felt at ease in his presence.
"I know...oh and are you really going to keep that up?" Sonic let him go with a grin giving a look over.
"Keep up with what my lord?" Lancelot asked once more lost in the one-sided conversation.
"Well I guess it's an improvement." Sonic let out a purr in delight making Lancelot freeze at once. Was it his doing? He didn't know but heat soon blossomed his muzzle. Awkward was the closest word he could find that described the feeling in the gut.
"I...think I should take my leave.." He needed to escape this situation however the grip returned, a rough one at that. He was pulled closer to a point he could smell the addicting scent from the king.
Sonic frowned as the other had tried to ditch him. The knight could easily break free but waited.
"If..I am your lord shouldn't you listen to me?" Sonic asked with a smug grin. Lancelot felt himself pale. He mentally hit himself in realization. He almost broke his oath! Not only that but by something so trivial as a drunk Sonic. He could face any situation! He swore it upon his name as Sir Lancelot the ultimate knight! With that in thought he gave the king a nod.
"I am here to serve you until I no longer can." He replied with a sense of pride in the words. Sonic however was surprised but soon gave a genuine smile.
"Can you promise me...?" Sonic asked with a hint of sadness and need. Ruby eyes softened upon seeing this.
"I promise you Sonic the hedgehog..to always be there when you need me. I will protect you from any harm I guarantee your safety. You deserve to be the ruler...my ruler." What came next was unspeakable their lips met.
Sonic had pulled him into a viscous kiss without warning. It took all willpower for the knight not to pull away. His eyes widened in shock as the King continue the affection.
He felt the peach arms embrace his form gently while one hand crept down to stroll his thigh.
Flustered would be an understatement! Lancelot swear his muzzle was just as red as his stripes. Sonic pulled away to give time to breathe as lungs begged for oxygen.
"That was a damn good speech...I didn't expect that." Sonic admitted as he placed a few pecks on the now red muzzle. Lancelot wasn't sure what to do dishonor his wishes? Break the oath as the hedgehog clearly wasn't thinking straight! Nor was affection between males accepted!
"Why so silent shads? Don't enjoy it?" Sonic asked as his hand finally found the tail and gently stroke it. Lancelot flinched upon the touch and quickly put his hands on the cobalt shoulders. He was going to push him away but the pride didn't allow it. He tried again but no response. Lancelot felt helpless as he stared into the emerald eyes filled with desire.
Where did this drive come from!? He thought back to the question. Shads? His king was mistaken him for someone else!
"You are mistaken my lord I am not-" he got interrupted by a pair of lips. Lancelot shivered, he couldn't help but find it disturbing. Yet at the same time liking it. Absurd! He needed to finish his sentence.
Sonic deepen the kiss and purred loudly making it all harder for the knight. Drunk or not he was clearly enjoying it. Lancelot flinched as he felt a tongue cross his lips. This was wrong very wrong!
Lancelot tightly shut his eyes, he would so regret this…he allowed Sonic to prod his lips open to flavor him. The king happily took the invitation and dive into a heated make out. Lancelot shiver as the intruding tongue explored. He didn't meet it with his own not until Sonic forced it.
The knight had a dominating nature down the core but this was the king. Could he…No it was wrong everything was wrong…
Sonic pulled away panting as he licked his lips. Lancelot was out of breath as well, and upon seeing the king smile out of pure love made his plan abrupt stop. He couldn't bring himself to say it.
Lancelot bit his lower lip feeling greatly troubled. He shouldn't object if this was what the king really wished for.
Sonic purred with a smug smirk as he assumed it to be a submissive behavior.
Lancelot gasped as Sonic suddenly pushed him down to the king sized bed. He landed softly on the mattress and didn't have time to get up before the king secured the top. He looked down at his prey with a victorious grin.
"As I thought" A small kiss was placed on the ebony forehead. Lancelot couldn't believe this was happening. His heart pounded faster as he found himself at mercy. His rank was greatly lower than a king, he had no rights to reject. If he did anyways it would greatly hurt the king. Both breaking the promise and oath.
"Sonic.." The said hedgehog perked his ears. The hero expected some kind of fight for the top. Not that he was complaining. In fact, he enjoyed being in charge.
He was getting more confident as time passed and admired in the form beneath. Not did it for one second strike him as Lancelot. No his clouded mind was certain it was his rival.
"I didn't know you were this submissive though." Sonic chuckled causing the knight to growl, he did not approve to that! He was NOT by any means submissive!
"That certainly isn't accurate my lord." He muttered tempted to take the top but held back.
"Oh? I thought you were going to serve me. Correct me if I am wrong." Sonic smugly smirked down at the other that felt lost.
"You are not wrong...But I can't dominate you without permission..." He muttered and flinched as a finger traced his left inner thigh. Emerald eyes observed the reaction with a grin.
"Really?" Sonic purred as he settled between the legs. Lancelot tensed and quickly placed his hands on the peach chest ready to shove him away. The reaction amused the hero. He knew exactly how to play the other. A little game called 'how to drive him crazy'.
"So…" Sonic started and removed the finger to slowly separate the legs making sure the other was aware of his position.
Lancelot clenched his fists in frustration as he forced himself to stay put. Sonic was impressed, he was so sure that would be enough. Guess he had to push it a bit further, what a stubborn hedgehog…
"You are just going to allow me to devour you?" Sonic grinned at the blushing hedgehog that tried his hardest to remain calm.
"I.." Lancelot stopped he was out of words, he couldn't handle this position. A yelp escaped his mouth as hands stroke his inner thigh. He tightly shut his eyes in attempt to ignore it. Small pecks were placed on his muzzle forcing them to open them again.
The emerald eyes filled with love cleared his mind. This approach…it wasn't for him. Lancelot wasn't sure if it was hurt or guilt that filled his gut. All he knew was that he had to stop it.
"Sonic...We can't continue this..You are drunk." Lancelot said sternly with a scowl hoping it wouldn't harm his king.
Sonic abrupt stopped as he repeated the sentence in his head. Yes Shadow(as he thought) was right. His mind wasn't focused and could barely think straight. The knight could tell it made him upset but didn't let his expression falter.
With a defeated sigh he nodded before pulling away. Lancelot instantly closed his legs happy to be freed from such embarrassing position. He remained on the bed unsure if he should leave or not.
"Yeah…I don't want to be drunk on our first time! Thanks for stopping me." Sonic gave a thumb up already recovered from his disappointment.
Lancelot blushed embarrassed, things would never be the same! Unless the gal could wipe out his memory. Because Lancelot was sure he could forget this right?
The knight cleared his throat as trying to distract the king from what just occurred.
"Let's head off to bed shall we?"
"Stay with me." Sonic said in determination. Lancelot wasn't really surprised and sighed in defeat.
"Is that what you desire?" Lancelot asked but already knew the answer. The King let out a chuckle before nodding.
"Of course! I mean every word of it! Besides..." Sonic got up on his feet before pulling off the sneakers and threw the gloves aside in no particular direction.
"I want to cuddle you all night and smoother u with kisses whenever I like." The sentence returned the heat coursing through the Knight. How could this savior of Camelot make him feel so weird!? This wasn't normal!
"So be it." He replied not entirely against the idea. A small part of him in fact wanted it.
So without another word he removed his attire. Sonic jumped in joy before he crashed down to the bed again. As soon as Lancelot was done he pulled him down beside him ignoring the protest.
Sonic didn't bother with the blanket beneath. Having somebody beside you would give enough warmth through the night he was sure. Lancelot scowled as the king wrapped his arms around him.
He would have to leave when the king had fallen asleep. Nobody will ever hear about this! His thoughts got interrupted by purrs as the king settle down nuzzling him every now and then.
"I love you...Shadow the hedgehog." Lancelot remained silent it was not him to reply. He was not this Shadow and he could only hope whoever this Shadow was could bring happiness to the pure hedgehog beside him. A sigh escaped as he back rubbed the cuddly hedgehog. There was nobody that could possibly dislike him right? So should he reply for him? It would have same effect no? It felt wrong yet right. He was certain Sonic would forget it all anyways. Gal wasn't a causal drink so he could risk it…
"I love you too Sonic the hedgehog." He received a loving kiss.
"That goes without saying." Sonic chuckled before he let his eyeS shut and allow sleep to claim him.
Lancelot scowled, what a mess….
