~The Captain's First Mate~

"I don't want ye to leave"

The words left Dread's mouth before he could stop himself from saying them, as his eyes stared into the water. His legs kicked against the side of the boat lazily with a half empty coconut filled with juice, about his third of the night, in his hand.

Frankly, the captain didn't know why or what made him say those words. He had only met the fellow pirate three weeks prior, when the blue hedgehog's poor excuse of a rowboat was beginning to sink into the water and Knuckles' crew just happened to be passing by.

They had brought him aboard safely, learning very quick that the man had a fear of water and couldn't swim in the slightest. Within that time, the two had grown comfortable with each other. Dread liked to party, having so much energy in him from day to night that no one in the crew could completely keep up with it.

But Sonic could— Sonic was a whole ball of energy, always moving and always fast, he couldn't sit still for a minute if he tried. Dread enjoyed having a new face around the ship. He enjoyed Sonic, and every bit that came with the hedgehog; down to the way he couldn't dance to save his life, to the way his smile seemed to shine in the dead of the night.

Sonic was new, and new was exciting to the captain. Not even the best of parties could out match the excitement he got from being with him. Dread missed excitement.

The words rang into Sonic's ear like a bell, even making them twitch as if he had heard Dread wrong. He darted his gaze to the captain, bewilderment becoming of his expression as he processed the words.

Quickly, as was his nature, he softened, quirking a brow as a smirk widened against his face, "Well, who said I was going anywhere?"

It was never outright said, but it was implied. Sails finished fixing up Sonic a new boat just some days ago, and now all that was left was for Sonic to stop putting off taking it and going his own way. He came up with a few lies here and there, saying the weather wasn't right, or that he still couldn't find his "lucky compass".

"Oh, please," retorted Dread as he nudged the other Mobian in the side as softly as possible, which must've not been a good attempt because Sonic still winced. Dread took notice and retreated his arm back, letting out a dry cough, "Ah- Sorry there, matey."

A nod from Sonic, and Dread was back to finishing his former thought.

"As I was saying…Sonic the Hedgehog isn't the type to be grounded, is he huh? I have learned that much from ye in the last few weeks."

"Ya got me there, Dread...," Sonic started off, looking away as his thoughts ran off the tracks, looking for the right words to say. Dread was patient, he waited...

The hedgehog spoke once more, "Buuuut— There isn't exactly many places I can go. Speed can't get me far when all there is water for miles…and miles…and miles."

He shivered at the thought of so much water. Seriously, when did it end?

"And I know that you know that I'm, like, deathly afraid of water, Cap."

There was some silence again. Dread was the one to break it, not able to keep his mouth shut for that long, one of the many things him and his blue companion had in common— one of the things that drew them closer together.

"Do ye wish to carry on this talk in the Captain's Quarters?", he asked.

Sonic looked around and saw that all the other crew members had already gone to sleep, but he was tired yet. So, he didn't mind moving to another location to continue his conversation with Dread.

"Sure, why not? Got any more coconut juice too? I'm almost out and I'm still kinda thirsty", he said.

Dread nodded as he led the blue hedgehog over to the Captain's Quarters, he opened the door to allow Sonic to step in first before walking inside after and shutting the door behind him.

Sonic looked around at the room, it was very quaint and homely. There was a desk in one corner with all kinds of documents on it, and in another corner was a bed with a large trunk at the base. An oil lantern hung from the ceiling, bathing the room in a soft orange glow.

"Nice place you got here", Sonic complimented.

Dread smiled as he walked over to a wine rack and pulled out a coconut shaped bottle and two glass cups. "A Captain's gotta make sure he's comfortable as he commands his ship. Anyway, care for a drink?", he said as he poured coconut juice into the two glasses.

He picked them up and walked over to Sonic, handing him one while keeping the other. Sonic's cup tapped against Dread's.

"Cheers," they said before downing the drink. Sonic felt like he was in a daze. "Wow...this drink is really sweet," he commented before Dread refilled his cup.

Dread winked at him before saying proudly, "I know where to find the right coconuts to concoct the sweetest drink, but I only keep fer me-self", he said.

"Well, color me...impressed..."

Dread wrapped an arm around Sonic, pulling him in closer. Sonic felt his face heating up, and the captain held his cup out again. "Cheers?"

"Cheers..."

Before he knew it, Dread was suddenly swaying, forcing Sonic to move with him. Dread started to sing what sounded like an old sea shanty, and Sonic joined in. They sang into the night; as the minutes passed by, they kept drunkenly singing until Sonic stopped first.

"Dread...?"

"Hmm..?"

Sonic stared into his amethyst eyes, and saw himself reflected in them. Dread's arm was still wrapped around his body, and he pulled Sonic in until his face was inches away from his.

"What is it, Sonic...?"

Sonic felt his arms encircle around Dread, and he closed the distance between them with a kiss. "I...I think I...love--"

Dread suddenly cut him off when he pressed his mouth against Sonic's, and they closed their eyes. Sonic was suddenly flat on his back on the bed, and he could taste the sweet flavor of the drink as Dread then deepened the kiss, his gloved hand cupping Sonic's face.

He could feel the want emanating from him, and he was unyielding in return. They broke the kiss two minutes later, both of them panting and flushed. Dread slowly removed his gloves and straddled Sonic's hips, his hands went back to caressing Sonic's face, making the Blue Blur shiver.

Dread tenderly brushed his thumb against fawn lips, purring as the hedgehog beneath him planted kisses on it. One hand left Sonic's face and traveled further down, filed claws skimming through the azure pelt as he petted Sonic's side.

"Dread…", Sonic tilted his head back, exposing his neck.

Chuckling, Dread nuzzled his face into the blue hedgehog's neck. A soft gasp issued from Sonic's mouth as he felt the echidna's teeth nipping at his exposed neck.

"D-Dread…Ah!"

With a moan, Sonic unconsciously bucked his hips when Dread delivered a particularly deep nip, a hot tongue caressing the marks.

"Feelin' impatient, aren't ye matey?", Dread chuckled, looking down and seeing the tip of Sonic's member beginning to peek out of its sheath. He started leaving a trail of hot wet kisses down Sonic's chest to the his crotch.

A soft whimper escaped Sonic's lips as Dread reached his sheath. The pirate captain locked eyes with Sonic before giving a saucy wink and diving right in, thrusting his tongue into the heated area hard and fast.

"Nghhhhh…haaaah!", Sonic gasped out, his hands gripping the bedsheets, as his slowly hardening member poked out of its hidden pouch. He felt embarrassed by the loud noises he was making, so he covered his mouth with one of his hands.

Dread immediately noticed this and didn't take too kindly to it, so he abruptly pulled away from Sonic's sheath and walked over to the trunk at the foot of his bed.

"Dread... why'd you stop?", Sonic asked in disappointment.

Dread said nothing as he opened the trunk and pulled out some ropes, he walked by over to the bedside and grabbed Sonic's wrists; he tied the blue hedgehog's hands together and tied them to the bed frame, then he tied both of his legs to the bottom bed frame, keeping them spread apart.

Sonic was now deeply confused, "What are you doing? Why'd you tied me up?", he asked as he struggled a bit. The ropes weren't tight enough to cut off circulation to his limbs, but just tight enough so that he couldn't escape.

Dread smirked almost devilishly as he started removing his clothing, then he carefully took off Sonic's gloves and shoes. "I don't appreciate you shutting yer gab, matey. I wanna hear ye scream me as I devour your seadog!", he said with a hungry growl.

Sonic shivered in anticipation as a deep blush formed across his face, it was one of embarrassment and arousal. "But Dread...what if the others hear me? Ugh, that'll be so embarrassing!", he whined.

Dread had to contain himself, Sonic's whining only served to turn him on even more and he had to fight to not take him like a savage beast right then and there.

So he simply let out a soft laugh, "Let 'em hear, they know better than to barge into the Captain's Quarters without permission. I'll have them scrubbing the poop deck fer a year if they try!", he declared confidently.

With that said, Dread climbed back onto the bed, between Sonic's legs. Licking his lips, Dread licked the shaft and swirled his tongue around the sensitive tip before taking the whole thing into his mouth.

He hummed as Sonic gasped and moaned; by the seven seas, the erotic sounds the blue hedgehog was currently making were like a drug, giving him a pleasurable hot rush of adrenaline.

Now that his hands were tied up, Sonic couldn't help the loud moans that escaped his mouth as he was assaulted by a pleasure he never knew existed until now.

"Ah-ah-ah…", Sonic breathed out, his mind hazy with pleasure. While the pirate captain was giving him an amazing blowjob, he wriggled and squirmed as much as the ropes would allow him. Sonic wasn't one to be tied down, figuratively or literally, but he couldn't deny that he was enjoying the submissive role he was now in.

Dread looked at him with half-lidded eyes, delighting in the adorable faces Sonic made as he sucked his membef. He could feel the rock-hard organ pulsing and quivering in his mouth and knew that it was just a matter of seconds before Sonic went over the edge.

Closing his eyes, Dread opened his mouth a little wider and swallowed.

A loud scream ripped out of Sonic's throat as he fell headfirst into dizzying pleasure, his member shooting warm spurts of seed into the echidna's mouth. He laid on the bed, panting and trembling, feeling like he had just run a thousand miles, as Dread swallowed every drop of his fluids with ease.

Releasing Sonic's member, Dread smiled at his handiwork. "Feelin' tired so soon, matey?", he asked, wiping the corner of his mouth with the back of his wrist.

Chuckling weakly, Sonic shook his head. "No way…that was…just… a warm-up…right?", he panted, his face a delectable shade of red.

Dread chuckled, spreading the cobalt hedgehog's legs wider. "Oh, trust me, Blue. We be just getting started," he whispered. He snaked one hand down, feeling under a blue tail.

Sonic sucked in a breath as he felt a finger tap at his tail hole, the digit testing the tight ring of muscle. He looked up at Dread, a little nervous, and was met with lavender orbs filled with gentle passion and love.

"Shhh…relax, matey" Dread murmured, leaning down and kissing along Sonic's jawline. At the same time, his finger slowly pushed into Sonic's tight hole.

Sonic exhaled, willing his body to relax until he felt echidna's finger go all the way in.

"Are ye okay?", Dread asked, looking down at the hedgehog.

"Mmmm…", Sonic blushed, "Never done this before, I'm not used to it…" he mumbled, his muzzle and ears tinted red.

Dread chuckled, wiggling his finger around. "Let's see…where be it…"

A victorious smirk formed on the pirate captain's face as he pressed on a small bump, and Sonic cried out, his bright green eyes rolling up to the back of his head.

"Ah! There it be," Dread purred, tapping the azure hedgehog's prostate again and again, adding another finger inside. Scissoring them, he relished in watching Sonic shake and squirm underneath him.

Sonic moaned loudly, breath coming out in heavy pants, his royal blue fur slick with sweat. With each pump of Dread's fingers, the azure hedgehog's back arched higher and higher off the sheets.

"Dread, p-please~", he begged, making the red echidna above him pause.

Seeing that the blue hero was close to losing it, Dread pulled his fingers out. His own member was already hard and dripping with pre-cum, and listening to Sonic moan in pleasure was starting to drive him mad with lust.

Positioning his erect member at the blue hedgehog's entrance, Dread locked eyes with Sonic, giving the hero a soft reassuring smile before slowly pushing the tip in.

Sonic hissed at the intrusion, his walls clenching around Dread's member, hands moving to his shoulders and pulling the red echidna down for a kiss.

Dread groaned at the tightness and heat, willing himself to stay calm even though every inch of his being wanted to revert to his primal instincts and take the blue hedgehog like a wild animal.

"By Davey Jones' locker, Sonic, ye be so tight…", he grunted, rocking his hips slowly until he was fully in.

Sonic moaned, feeling like he just died and went to Heaven. It felt so good to be one with Dread in body, mind, and soul. The Chaos Energy naturally in his veins was practically exploding as he and Dread engaged in this intimate union.

Dread stayed still, leaning in to soothe him with soft kisses, allowing him to adjust. Once he got used to the feeling of being filled, Sonic rolled his hips into Dread's, giving him permission to move.

Thrusting his hips forward, Dread was rewarded with a deep moan from Sonic. He soon found a steady rhythm, rocking his hips back and forth, back and forth, aiming for the cobalt hero's prostate.

Sonic bucked his hips in time with the pirate captain's thrusts, moaning out,

"Ahhh…so…s-so good…"

Dread growled, lifting up Sonic's hips to deliver in a particularly deep thrust, making the blue blur moan so loudly it echoed throughout the entire ship.

Embarrassed, Sonic bit his lips to try and silence his moans since his hands were tied up. That proved to be a fruitless effort because another loud ripped it's way out of his mouth.

Dread smirked as he thrusted in again, savagely ramming at Sonic's prostate. "That's the way, I want to hear ye scream. Let me know how much yer enjoying this, Sonic," he whispered huskily, purple eyes dark with lust.

Sonic shivered, the red echidna's dominant nature arousing him. Another deep thrust caused him to scream Dread's name, his green eyes glazed over with pleasure.

"Ah yes, that be music to me ears", Dread purred, picking up the pace.

The room was filled with moaning and groaning as the two engaged in a sensual dance, hands roaming and caressing, lips locking and tongues battling for dominance, as they lost themselves to pure carnal pleasure.

Sonic couldn't stop himself, moaning out barely coherent pleas for Dread to f*ck him harder, bits of sounds that made up the pirate captain's name, as his hips bucked wildly.

"D-D-Dread…", Sonic rasped, feeling the tight cord in his gut getting ready to snap, "Oh Sweet Chaos, Dread! I'm so close!"

Grunting, Dread snapped his hips faster, hands gripping Sonic so tightly that there would probably be bruises forming later on, and buried his face in the blue hedgehog's neck.

Another powerful thrust, aimed right at his prostate, sent Sonic over the edge. Mouth open in a silent scream, the azure hero fell headfirst into a blissful orgasm.

Gasping out Sonic's name, Dread let himself fall headfirst into pure pleasure, his hot seed spilling into Sonic's fluttering walls.

After that, the room was silent save for the panting of two thoroughly spent Mobians.

Dread panted, a little quieter than Sonic, and loosened his grip on blue hips. He reached over to untie his wrists and then his ankles, and the he purred and nuzzled Sonic, who whimpered softly as he pulled out of him.

Not wanting to let go just yet, Dread cradled Sonic in his arms, fingers gently combing through damp blue quills.

"That…was...awesome…", Sonic breathed out, looking at Dread with half-lidded eyes.

Dread chuckled, pressing soft kisses to his muzzle. "I love ye, ya scurvy scallywag," he murmured.

"I love you too, Captain", Sonic whispered, resting his head against the echidna's muscular chest.

They stayed in each other's arms for a few more minutes before getting up to clean themselves up, and for Dread to change the sheets. Then they lay down again, content to just cuddle together.

Sonic sighed, cuddling up to Dread and breathing in his spicy musk. His hips and bottom ached, but it was a good kind of ache – an ache that reminded him of how intensely he and the pirate captain had made love.

A yawn escaped Sonic's fawn lips, "I wish I could stay here forever...", he murmured softly

"If ye did, ye make a fine pirate" said Dread as he petted his sapphire quills, "But didn't ye say ye had an important mission?"

"Yeah...", Sonic yawned, snuggling against Dread's chest and closing his eyes. In just a matter of minutes, he had fallen asleep.

Dread chuckled, loving the cute little snuffling noises Sonic made as he slept, and wrapped his arms around him. "Sweet dreams, Blue…" he whispered, closing his eyes as well, the two of them blissfully content in each other's arms.

[Time Skip]

Through the Paradox Prism shard, Shadow stared in disbelief that quickly turned into rage.

Sonic seriously could not have just made love with an alternate version of his friend when he was supposed to be focusing on saving the world and possibly the universe!

Although...I wish that were me...Ugh, what am I thinking? He's wasting his time.

Shadow floated in Shatterspace, his arms crossed across his chest, as he continued to glare angrily into the glass. However, he couldn't really hide his jealousy...or the sudden development happening between his legs after witnessing all that.

Shadow was just extremely lucky that he was completely alone in the Shatterspace, because he knew no one would see or hear him as he floated over to a nearby piece of crystal debris to deal with this small issue.

He was still going to punch Sonic in the face the next time he saw him, though.

[The End]
