so...there's a safe word as a heads up. this takes place sometime after the eclipse arc in Sonic Universe.
It's important to remember that consent means everything. don't be that guy who goes ahead anyway after they told you no.

I also headcannon that during the first few times, Shadow's worried he might break his partner since he has an ungodly amount of strength. but trust is soon made and conditions are made as well. like safe words.
also, why ghost pepper? well...they're really hot that they seem to burn an ungodly amount and you just want them to stop
There was a soft click as the collar closed around the trembling emerald neck. A soft flinch coming in response of the metallic sound.
The leather jacket worn was half down the teen´s upper body, his slightly muscled peach arms still partially in the sleeves.
Most of his back and chest were exposed to the slightly cooler temperature of the room.
With his icy neon blues half lidded, he dared to met the eyes of the other male. His fur a dark raven color with blood red streaks dancing along the upturned quills and limbs. His breath came in calmed waves, his fluff moving ever so slightly as the hardened crimsons settled on the now flustered emerald hedgehog.
The dark hedgehog's features seemed rather bored, tauntingly so, as he let an un-gloved hand gently run up the peach, scarred chest.
¨I´m very upset with you pet…,¨ he said, his deep voice sending a shiver down the teen´s spine. The impatient male groaned softly as he the hand moved further up, his tail tucked between his legs to stop the quick wagging it was beginning to do.
¨What have I done mas-¨ he gagged slightly, a dark finger hooking beneath the collar and yanking his upwards.
His breath came out in gasping pants, the lower halves of his legs the only things touching the soft bed he craved to be thrown against.
¨Did I give you permission to speak?,¨ the male asked lowly, the green hedgehog whining softly as he shook his head. ¨Then don't speak unless I tell you to.¨ The teen gave a feverish nod, trembling softly at the rough treatment.
With a soft sound he was dropped back onto the bed, managing to sit upwards again.
He watched the dark streaked hand slide beneath his chin, giving small circles to the sensitive underside. He couldn't stop the purr from becoming known.
An almost amused look graced the soft features of the dark male,¨ Do you like that pet?,¨ he asked innocently, the collared male giving a shaking nod and whine when his nails dug in softly. He began to move his hands upwards to grasp the strong, muscled counterpart. Only to have them rest back down from the commanding look of the other.
The rubies studied the other´s flustered appearance for a long while, a soft growl rising from him at the impatient sounds of the other. With a rough shove, the teen fell backwards. Flopping into the pillows with a soft gasp.
The green ears flicked at the soft tinkling sound of metal, the half lidded icy blues widening at the chain leash swinging softly in front of him.
With a soft click, it attached to the collar.
¨The looks and sounds you grace me every time we do this never cease to amaze me,¨ the ebony hedgehog said with a softness he rarely gave.
He scoffed, the blues rolling a bit as his muzzle flushed a light red," Come on Stripes. Don't go soft on me now…,¨ he mumbled with no malice. He looked curiously at the leash carefully being wrapped around the palm of his hand, gagging when the chain was pulled hard upwards.
The fiery rubies were startlingly close to the cold blues,¨ Don't be rude pet.,¨ he murmured softly, his knee resting dangerously close on top of his groin.
The teen sputtered and gasped at the soft nips and kisses give to his neck. He found it hard to move his arms, as they somehow became trapped beneath his back.
¨S-stripes.¨
He yelped at the slightly harder bite," I didn't give you permission pet.¨
His breath began to quicken,¨ S-shadow-,¨ he couldn't remember the word.
He barely felt the other work of the rest of his jacket before he yelped painfully,¨ GHOST PEPPER.¨
The striped hands paused before they immediately went to the collar, snapping it off quickly before the male moved to the side. Letting the teen roll onto his side and gasp in breaths. ¨A-are you alright?,¨ his partner asked, concern and obvious worry on his features.
They rarely used the safe word.
¨I´m fine! I just need a minute…,¨ the teen said, shoving off his jacket and setting it to the side as he tried to calm down.
Finally, his breathing calmed. The icy blues flicking over to the midnight male. What he saw was hot shame and worry from anxiety filled wetness of the eyes. Self anger and hatred.
¨Hey…,¨ he said, grunting as he sat up. ¨I´m fine, just got a bit of panic in there is all…," he said, frowning at the male, who seemed to hunch over a bit more. ¨I should've known you were...I could've….,¨ the dark male went silent, hot shame burning his face.
Scourge sighed softly, his peach hands gently grasping the male and pulling him closer,¨ You couldn't have known...ok?,¨ he murmured softly, rubbing his back in small circles. ¨That´s why we have the safe word. Remember?¨
He said nothing as the other buried his face against him gently, letting his cheek rest against his head. ¨Hey...¨ he said softly, feeling the other's worry. ¨Remember that you did stop. And you were fast to end it for my sake.,¨ he said, wiping the tan muzzle with the inner part of his wrist.
¨The person you keep thinking you are wouldn't have done that...you care too much,¨ he said, hoping it would ease the other's anxiety.
¨I could've hurt you even worse though.¨
¨But you didn't.¨ He said forcing the rubies to meet his sapphires. ¨Stop being so hard on yourself. You've gotten really good at managing your strength.¨
That earned a dismissive scoff, a look of unbelief on the dark features. "Stop that.," the green male said with slight anger.
"How can I trust you when you can't even trust yourself?"
"How can I when I'm not sure I'm in control of myself?," the ebony hedgehog said back quietly, his rubies downcast.
Scourge sighed inwardly, knowing the worry and anxiety was caused from the mind control of the recent black arm's return. But from what he heard, they were all destroyed in the end. He could tell Shadow wasn't completely truthful about it, but he didn't pry for his sake. "I know you can control yourself, you overcame so much already…," he said, his peach hands rubbing his tan cheeks gently.
"They won't get to you, you know..," he said quietly, seeing a dark ear twitch. "I won't let them."
"They can kill you easily…."
"Oh wow, thanks for the vote of confidence stripes…," he said sarcastically, earning a soft but bitter scoff from the other.
"There you are~," he purred softly, pulling the slightly taller male close again.
Shadow made no attempt to fight the embrace," Stop…"
"No. You need it."
The dark hedgehog chuckled softly," Stubborn as ever….," he said, feeling the other smirk against his ear. "I thought you liked my stubbornness.," he said, the other chuckling," Maybe…." he drawled softly, gently pushing his face away much to the displeasure of the other.
"Stripes!"
"What? I can't make everything easy, now can I?," he quipped, a small smirk resting on his somewhat relaxed features.
"I mean you could if you wanted too-," green snickered at the pillow tossed at him," But where's the fun in that?"
"That's what I thought." The dark hedgehog said, flopping down next to his partner and letting his arms go around him. A small smile gracing his features at the soft rumble of laughter still evident in his scarred chest.
Perhaps he did have some control after all.
