hadow's body shivered as the voice crept through the room with no reaction from the ebony. He was almost certain that his mind was playing tricks on him and he was too afraid to turn around and prove himself right or wrong.
"Babe? Ya feelin' okay? I know ya don't eat pork but ya don't need to give me the silent treatment cuz of it." The voice continued slyly as it showed its typical cocky nature.
Shadow's body shook slightly as he slowly turned his head, eyes dilated and heart racing.
Could this be true?
And there he was, sitting up against the pillow with a slightly dazed look in his eyes. The ebony held his breath for a few moments staring deeply at the slightly confused hedgehog.
"Youre still mad at me, huh? Look, I promise ill make up for it." Sonic muttered softly as he shuffled in the sheets uncomfortably.
Still silence... All that was given was a slight gentle nod, followed by an explosion of emotion. It wasn't a dream or a hallucination. Sonic had actually come back. Shadow grabbed onto his muzzle, squeezing it tightly as he thanked every god that could exist in the world for this wonderful miracle. This was when, for the first time since Maria, he completely gave into his desires.
He catapulted himself onto the azure, causing Sonic to prepare himself for impact. Shadow landed on top of his cobalt prince quite roughly before wrapping his arms around his waist and burying his face into Sonic's less-the-stellar-but-satisfying peach colored fur. Rubbing his face into it with complete and utter delight. His scent and his warmth were enough to make the ebony forgive everything that had happened the past few weeks and just enjoy this wonderful sensation.
"Someone's feeling rather lovey-dovey. It's about time! It's like I almost died or something." The azure giggled slightly as he gently combed through Shadow's messy quills.
"You did... Your heart stopped hours ago... I have no idea how your alive but I don't care. Whatever the reason doesn't matter... You're here." Shadow nestled himself into the cobalt, almost diving into his soft slightly overgrown fur.
"Really? That's radical! I came back from the dead? Sweet!" Sonic exploded excitedly as he clenched his left fist in triumph.
"You don't understand, you idiot! I was certain that I lost you! Do you have any idea how I feel right now?!" Shadow exploded back as he sent a gentle slap to the azures shoulder.
"Your right... Sorry for not taking it seriously but c'mon. It is pretty awesome!" He teasingly patted the charcoal hedgehog's cheek as he winked cutely.
"Just shut up and kiss me you stupid faker." He responded coldly as he forcefully grabbed the cobalt's chin.
"Well.. Maybe I don't-" He was interrupted with the contact of his beautiful ebony's lips.
Their lips pushed against the other gently as Shadow sweetly pushed his tongue into the azures mouth. Tenderly poking the others tongue, until it finally decided to join in. Sonic wasn't used to this slightly aggressive behavior from his submissive princess, but either way, he was getting quite a kick out of it. Their tongues meshed softly, not really wanting anything more from the situation at the moment. This was when Sonic made a rather daring move, by gently flicking the end of the ebony's tail. It seemed to stiffen up as a subtle purr could be heard while the kissing continued. Shadow wrapped his arms around the cobalt's neck before pushing himself closer to the other.
"Hay hay hay! Whats all the noise in here?!" Rob slammed open the door as he had become overly concerned with all the odd noises coming from the room.
Shadow turned his head slightly as his eyes became infuriated. He knew it was his guardian but right now this was him and Sonic's time...
"Oh my Chaos! Sonic?! You're alive!" The brunet exclaimed shockingly as his eyes widened with surprise.
"That I am, now uhhh. Were a little busy, if you can't tell. If you could wait a bit to tell the others so we can have some alone time, that be awesommme." He replied cleverly as he eyed his princess who was still burying his face into his chest fur.
"Well that doesn't really seem fair..." The brunet whined teasingly before leaning his body against the wall confidently.
"I think Shadow would really appreciate it. He has never been this romantic. If ya catch my cold." The cobalt replied as he softly kissed the tip of the ebony's shoulder.
"You guys have twenty minutes to get everything out. Then I will tell everyone and they can come visit you." Rob commanded as he glared at them both sternly.
Both the hedgehogs groaned as Shadow immediately shoved his face into the azures neck.
"Fine... We better get started then so shoo." Was the ebony's muffled reply as he gently gave the cobalt a little love bite.
"Don't get too friendly okay?" Rob teased as he winked before sneaking out of the room.
Sonic growled promiscuously as he slid both his hands down the charcoal hedgehog's back. Shadow responded with a slight shiver and a single lick on his neck.
"I don't think I have ever seen you like this, Shadow. I need to die more often." The cobalt muttered sarcastically as he ruffled Shadow's fluffy white chest hair.
"YOU WILL NEVER DO THIS TO ME AGAIN! YOU HEAR?!" The ebony replied furiously while wrapping his arms tighter around the cobalt, practically squeezing him to death.
"Aww, c'mon babe y'know I'm just kiddin'... Why would I ever want to scare you?" He whispered sweetly while nibbling on the tip of the charcoal hedgehog's ear.
He slid his thumb onto Shadow's cheek before giving it a long lick himself. The faintest pant could be heard as the ebony pushed himself about as close as he possible could. His entire body was practically buried into the sapphire hedgehog's fur as slight whimpers of relief filled the room.
"Aww, hon. It was really that bad, huh? You're alright. Everything's alright." Sonic consoled gently as he slowly stroked the ebony's back, drawing little circles on it with his pointer finger.
"EVERYTHINGS ALRIGHT?! I woke up in your house only to be told that you had already died! You can only imagine the pain, Sonic. I... I actually wanted to kill myself!" Tears continued to fall down his face and onto the bed.
He tried covering up his face with a pillow but it wasn't helping in the slightest. He was so angry at the azure's lack of understanding. How dare he just pass this off as 'oopsy' event! This was so much more than that.
"Is that so... Well, it shows how much I mean to you. Which makes me happy..." The cobalt glanced to the side as all this emotional attention felt strangely out of place to him.
"Is everything I do not enough proof?!" The ebony continued to exclaim as he realized there was only one real way to prove himself and he finally felt ready.
"That's not what I-." Sonic stared as he put his hands up in defense but the ebony grabbed onto both of them tightly.
"I love you, Sonic the Hedgehog... I love you so much. I don't understand how I fell in love so fast and easy without knowing! But I did and all I want is to be with you and next to you and everything else as long as you're here and right beside me the entire time!" He confessed passionately as he looked longingly and deeply into the sapphire hedgehog's, sparkling emerald eyes.
Sonic remained shocked beyond recognition... This was something he thought he would never hear, nonetheless be said in such a passionate and loving manner. It caused him to slightly choke on his own spit as he tried to speak but only one word came out.
"Shadow..." Sonic replied gently and sweetly as he wrapped his arms around the ebony's neck before giving him a slight kiss on the nose.
He pulled the ebony close before stroking his quills more tenderly than he ever had. Causing the charcoal hedgehog's cries and sobs to relax and calm to a point of silence.
"I love you... Happy? I admitted it." He whispered softly before burying his head into Sonic's fur.
"Everything's alright... I know you do. But hearing you say those three special words means more than you could ever imagine... You already know how much you mean to me." He giggled slightly while calmingly humming a very gentle tune after he spoke.
"Don't you dare leave me again... You stupid, egotistical, narcissistic, little shitbucket." Shadow pounded him quite hard in the stomach as he was already starting to feel ashamed and angry for making himself so vulnerable.
"Oh my... Has sweet, loving, submissive Shadow left the building? I miss him already." Sonic teased sweetly as he gently rubbed the sore spot on his stomach.
"Whatever. Ya know... We have only ten minutes left. Knowing Rob he might give us an extra five. What do we do with it?" Shadow murmured shyly as he glanced down at the azures crotch. He could already tell that he was excited but he wasn't really sure what he wanted to do about it.
"As much as we can possible do!" Sonic exclaimed pervertedly as he gave Shadow the slyest wink and grin he could possibly muster.
Sonic grabbed Shadow's waist before rolling on top of him and kissing from the top of his cheek all the way down his body. He grabbed both the ebony's hands and pinned them against the bed, allowing absolutely no escape.
"Oh my... Aren't you cocky? Fine, ill submit, if that's what you desire... Sonikkuuu." Shadow replied vocally as his voice became gentle and passive, giving the azure exactly what he wanted.
"I'm Sonic the hedgehog baby. I have a need for speed and desire for fire. If ya know what I mean." The sapphire hedgehog glared down at what he was now considering his prey and bit his lip. Even if it was just ten minutes or so... It would be enough to satisfy his cravings.
"OOO... Nice... I like it. Now do your worst... Prince." Shadow replied slyly before giggling hysterically as the cobalt continued to nibble all over his body.
He was somewhat surprised with how giddy he was feeling. No sense of anxiety, no fear of the unknown just pure happiness. He knew this was going to be a very interesting rest of his life... With his new companion. But everything would sort itself out because if you take absolutely no chances... How are you going to experience the really amazing wonderful things in life? If you plan everything, how are you going to have experiences you never thought possible? As long as you have that one person by your side... You know that you can handle everything and anything going wrong.
Sonic stopped momentarily to take in the sight of his princess, the princess he had been searching for as long as he could remember and as both their hearts started to once again beat together, their eyes met as well. For he knew how wonderful it was to stare into what he considered to be...
