Alright so first of all, I would like to say, one of you pointed out some things to me in a review that really helped me figure out this chapter and I'm so glad you did. Special thanks to BlazePyro for pointing out some stuff and I encourage anyone else who has concerns about this story or any of my other stories to write it in the review, you won't hurt my feelings and I'm actually so glad so many people have read this story (along with the other ones) after just a few days of being posted. It took a whole year for people to read my stories on deviantart and that was nothing compared to those on here. I'm so glad to have all of you and therefor, I made invisible cookies for all of you to eat while you read this new chapter! Some fluff but otherwise it's safe. Now to the story!
Chapter 10:
Sonic was awoken by a warm ray of sun on his face that seemed to favor his eyes. He smiled and stretched as he sat up in the bed before realizing he'd fallen asleep in Shadow's room again.
It had been 3 months since they finally admitted their feelings for each other. They spent almost all of their time together. Talking. Walking around. Basically enjoying each others company. Shadow was beginning to seem antsy. They slept together but never actually mated and the only type of kissing they did was small and always started by Shadow. Sonic could tell Shadow wanted more from the way he held him every night but he didn't know what would happen. He was paranoid. Sonic turned to look at his boyfriend only to see his side of the bed empty.
"Wonder where he went..." Sonic said out loud, walking to the shower.
Meanwhile, the ultimate lifeform glared at the rotund doctor in front of him.
"It's been months-" He stated, only to be cut off by an equally annoyed doctor.
"Added to the years I've already been working! I told you, the machine will not restore memories that have been long gone. I've tried everything!"
"There has to be something you haven't tried." Rouge decided to speak up from her spot on the table before hopping off and walking over to the machine. "Maybe it just needs a good kick."
"No!" Orbot yelled as he and Cubot intercepted her. "You might damage it!"
"At this rate, we might as well start from scratch." Eggman sighed, plopping down in his work chair.
Shadow let out a sigh of exasperation before his communicator went off. Amy's red face appeared in the screen and he could see her struggling against two powerful arms he expected to be Knuckles'. She started to wave around her hammer and Sonic's face appeared in the screen.
"Hey, Shadow. Where are you?" He asked, nervously.
"Wait till I get my hands on him! Lemme go, Knuckles! I'll throttle him! I'll kill him!" Amy's voice screeched from off screen.
"At the doctor's lab. Why?" Shadow replied, slightly worried about his boyfriend.
"Would you want go into town with me?"
"Don't you dare, Sonic! I want him here! I'll kill him!" Amy screeched from behind him.
"Calm down Ames. It was just a joke!" Sonya said, referring to Shadow's christmas present to her.
It had been red apron, form fitting for the pink hedgehog but what had been on it made her take out her hammer and chase the ultimate lifeform out of the house. A face with a striking resemblance Amy but mixed with that of Knuckles' angry face, making her look like a monster and the caption under it reading 'Get out of my kitchen or I'll use my hammer'. It had been funny to those who knew Amy but to others like Sonic or Cream, it was just really confusing. (Though Cream won't deny giggling slightly) She had been mad at him since then and Shadow took it in his best interest to stay away from her or the piko hammer. Meaning, Sonic hadn't been able to spend much time with the both of them. He took the time to spend with his siblings, practicing with the music he didn't know he could play. Back to the matter at hand, Sonya was trying to calm down her friend before turning to her brother.
"Sonic, you gotta get out of here..."
Sonic nodded and turned back to the screen, his newly acquired boyfriend's face having a hint of fear. .
"So yeah, care to come pick me up?"
Shadow smirked and nodded before chaos controlling to his boyfriend. Amy's thrashing got more violent as Shadow appeared in the room and wrapped an arm around Sonic.
"Shadow! Don't you dare try to leave!" she exclaimed.
Sonic couldn't help but shudder when he found himself in the middle of the city. After a quick laugh about what had just happened, the two walked through the streets, hands intertwined.
"So where did you run off to?" Sonic asked, glancing curiously at his boyfriend.
"Just to visit the Professor."
Sonic nodded, holding the black hedgehog's hand as to not lose him in the crowds of people.
"How is he? I haven't seen him in a while" Sonic said, looking at the sky in thought.
"He's fine. He's just been busy with a new project. It's supposed to be a surprise so no one but me and Rouge can see it."
"Aw... " Sonic sighed dejectedly, looking down at the ground sadly.
Shadow smirked before pulling the blue hedgehog to the side and into a kiss that caused his knees to melt. The black hedgehog kissed down to Sonic's neck and started giving little love bites, hopping it would cheer him up. Sonic's moans proved him right. He pulled away, letting the blue hedgehog hang onto him slightly to help him stand.
"Dammit... I hate it when you do that." Sonic muttered.
Shadow was about to respond with a snarky comment before he noticed a tinge of green out of the corner of his eye. He turned to see Scourge the Hedgehog, a sharp grin on his face as he watched the couple.
"Heya Blue. Miss me?"
Shadow stood in front of the blue hedgehog, much to the green hedgehog's confusion.
"Yo, Stripes. What's up with Blue?"
Shadow ignored the question and lunged for the hedgehog.
(Just a warning, I suck at fight scenes.)
Scourge had a grin the whole time, which just fueled the ultimate lifeforms energy. Shadow clenched his hands into fists and managed to land a few hits on the green hedgehog. Scourge spin dashed the ultimate lifeform, causing him to slam into the wall by Sonic, who watched, fear apparent in his eyes.
"Hey, Blue? What's the matter with you? You're acting like that fox you used to work with." Scourge asked, confused. "Give up on the squirt for Stripes?"
"Wh-What?" Sonic muttered, confused.
Shadow stood, knowing he needed to stop Scourge from talking to Sonic. He stood and turned to face Scourge, shoving him away from the blue hedgehog.
"Chaos Spear!" He exclaimed, hitting the green hedgehog with a green burst of energy.
As Scourge collided with a nearby mailbox, Shadow turned to Sonic and set a hand on his shoulder.
"Sonic, get home. I don't want you getting hurt" He demanded.
Sonic nodded, backing away before lunging forward and pushing Shadow out of the way as a bent blue mailbox collided with him. Shadow growled and turned to Scourge, lunging at him.
Meanwhile, Sonic pushed the mailbox off of himself, surprisingly unaffected besides a few scratched from the pavement. He rubbed his head and sat up, his head throbbing but not from the metal box colliding with his body but from the green hedgehog's words about the fox. What did he mean? Who was the fox? Sonic was so into his thoughts, he forgot he was supposed to run until Shadow's back collided with the wall of a building, grunting as he slid down to a kneeling position.
"Come on, Stripes, tell me you haven't gotten soft on me." He taunted, not seeing Sonic's shaking form behind him.
Both of the fighting hedgehogs didn't seem to notice that Sonic wasn't shaking from fear, but from anger at the green hedgehog. Not understanding where the anger was coming from but accepting it, his hands clenched into fists and his feet ached with the desire to move. Shadow's grunt made Sonic's head clear of all except one thought.
"I'm a hero, I gotta help..."
Sonic felt his body curl into a ball and zoom toward Scourge, knocking him into a nearby wall. The force causing him to leave a small indent in the brick. Scourge looked up and met Sonic's eyes, full of determination and a look he'd seen several times before in their fights. He smirked and pulled himself from the wall, cracking his neck.
"About time, Blue. I was hoping you hadn't gotten soft." Scourge grinned. "Took you long enough to attack me. Getting a little slow on me?"
For some reason, that comment made Sonic's fur bristle with annoyance before a big grin spread on his face.
"Always faster than you." He laughed before lunging at the green hedgehog.
Avoiding the punch from the other, Sonic remembered a move he had seen before and decided to try it. Bending back, he did a quick back flip before using his hands to swing his legs around and kick Scourge in the chest. He quickly found his footing and took a second to notice the adrenaline rushing through his system. Scourge looked at him and Sonic grinned but his eyes were serious. His thoughts returned to the black hedgehog, thinking now was a good time for a little taunting. putting on hand on his hip while wagging his finger at the green hedgehog.
"You're too slow." He taunted.
Scourge growled slightly before lunging at the blue hedgehog. Sonic thought quick and using a move he'd learned from Rouge, kicked the green hedgehog into the air. Scourge flailed as he felt the wind fly through his fur. The only sound to him when he hit the pavement was the annoying laughter of the blue hedgehog. Scourge tried to stand only for his head to disagree with him and make the world around him spin. He fell to his knees and clutched his arm which was bent in an unnatural way.
"Look, I don't know who you are." Sonic's voice came from above him.
Scourge looked up to see the blue hedgehog standing only a few feet from him with his arms crossed and serious eyes. The similarities between him and the ultimate lifeform weren't hard to see since Sonic currently looked like an exact copy. His eyes seemed to glow in the shadow of the buildings.
"But if you intend on causing trouble, I won't hesitate to stop you." Sonic finished.
The green hedgehog would've been more confused if his head didn't feel like it was about to split open. He managed to force a smirk as he pushed himself up, his arm shaking while his broken one hung limply.
"Next time, Blue." He said before collapsing.
Sonic looked him over before remembering his boyfriend and all signs of his cockiness vanished as he raced toward him, not noticing the injuries he hadn't even noticed Scourge managed to get on him.
