Hi everyone! I finally got the chance to create this chapter since schoolwork and other stuff I had to do kept me busy. As I mentioned earlier, the idea came from a YuGiOh Puppyshipping one-shot ficlets titled 'Word Factory'. I highly recommend you read them since they're amazing! Now, its related to some of the Sonadow Doujinshi most of you have either read on the Internet or in an actual manga form. I hope you all like this plot!

"Don't you dare sacrifice yourself!" Shadow grabbed his wrist, preventing him from leaving.

Sonic glared at him. "I have no choice! If I don't, then everyone we all know and love will be gone forever!"

"And you believe giving up your life just for them will keep them all safe!?" Shadow retorted, crimson eyes glaring into his.

"You heard what the priest said! In order to prevent the darkness from awakening, a sacrifice must be achieved to keep the world safe!"

"That's absurd! There's another way besides giving up your own life!"

"There's no time, Shadow! Now let me go so I can-

"I am not losing you! You hear me!?" Shadow pulled him close, letting their noses nearly touch. "You will not give up your life for those pathetic mortals!"

"As long as the people I care about are safe along with the Earth, then I don't care what happens to me! I would still risk my life for this world!"

"Not me! I would let this world burn as long as you're safe!"

"But why!? I thought you wanted to keep the Earth safe for Maria!?"

"I AM! YOU'RE MY EARTH!"

Before Sonic could respond, he was suddenly pulled into a hug, lips pressed deeply against his as he was trapped in his rival's arms. Green eyes widened in shock for a moment, then they slowly closed as he hugged his neck and kissed back, letting their lips move in synchronization as their tongues danced in a sensual manner.

"You do realize there is a scene where you're being taken by him, right?"

Sonic jumped, hiding the doujinshi behind him as his face was bright red from being caught. "W-Wha!?"

The bookshop owner, a tall anthropomorphic female light brown barn owl wearing a yellow apron, arched her eyebrow. "If you wish to read a manga with no sex scene, there is one-

"I-I was just curious!" Sonic threw the doujinshi back in the box he got it from. "T-That's all!"

"Are you sure? It seems like-

"I-I think I'm ready to check out the books I found for my little bro!" Sonic quickly picked up a stack of books he placed on the table and rushed over to where the check-out counter is.

Martha the bookshop owner playfully rolled her eyes, picking up the box of doujinshi and heading over to where she would ring up his purchase, placing the box on the counter. "You can purchase these along with those books for half the price. I even got more in the back if you'd like to take a look."

"N-No," Sonic stuttered. "I-I'm good!"

She used the scanner to ring up the price on her computer. "Some of the artists dropped off a few more a couple days ago. There will be more dropped off soon and they're of the same nature you're interested in. I still need to put them in the computer first before you can purchase them."

"M-Miss Martha!" Sonic screeched as she smirked at him. "I-I'm only here to get the books Tails need for his research! I-I can't give him the wrong idea!"

She shrugged, scanning the last book and hitting a few keys on the keyboard. "Feel free to come back and read them. The series is pretty good." She placed the books in the bag, and pushed the box of doujinshi close to Sonic. "Just to let you know, they all feature you being dominated in the bedroom or somewhere private where no one can hear you both."

Sonic blushed more, feeling his face turn red as a tomato. Why must he let his curiosity get the best of him and make him read those doujinshi? Just why!? And Miss Martha is adding fuel to the fire by hinting on whether or not he likes his rival, which he totally does not!

Martha's eyes suddenly sparkled, as she smiled at Sonic mischievously. "So how long have you liked him?

Squeaking, Sonic placed the money on the table, grabbed what he needed, and quickly left the shop. "Gottago! Bye!"

Sonic turned the page, his body buzzing but not enough to make him feel aroused. He was resting comfortably in his bed with a blanket covering his legs, dressed in his oversized red shirt where his shoulders are seen and a pair of black open toe and open heel stockings keeping his legs warm.

Right now, he was reading the part when Sir Lancelot is hugging him from behind, begging him not to leave but to stay with him in Camelot forever. It was around the time Sonic saved Camelot, became the new King Arthur, and stayed until everything was restored back to its former glory. Merlina was able to find a spell to help him return back home, but Sir Lancelot did not want Sonic to leave.

Sonic wasn't sure how anyone knew about his adventures in Camelot, but figured they might've heard it from Amy or anyone who didn't think he was crazy. Either way, Sonic in the doujinshi is now blushing when he hears a heartfelt confession coming from doujinshi Sir Lancelot, in which they stunned everyone who witnessed the exchange as they shared a kiss.

When Sonic read through the pages, there was a ball scene in which both doujinshi Sir Lancelot and doujinshi Sonic danced with each other – Sir Lancelot wearing a fancy medieval suit and Sonic wearing a beautiful blue dress that reminded him of Cinderella. The setting resembled a magical fairytale, as they both kissed under the moonlight and showed their passionate love for one another in their private chambers.

Doujinshi Sir Lancelot had been nothing but a gentleman towards doujinshi Sonic, who was begging him to never stop. Complying to his king's wishes, the chivalrous knight showed his king how amazing he could be in bed, which made Sonic wonder if the Sir Lancelot he knew back at Camelot is also like that. A flash of lightning appeared outside his window, causing Sonic to sigh as he finished reading the ending and moved on to the next doujinshi.

This was the 4th doujinshi he'd read of him and Shadow, and there were 20 more of them stacked in the giant box. Twenty! Whoever drew them started a huge fanbase, and most of them, whom Sonic suspected, are girls who think he and Shadow looked cute together. Usually, the fans would pair him and Amy, but to Sonic, he only sees her as a friend.

Every doujinshi he read features the present, an alternate universe where everyone is normal and they all go to school together, medieval setting, ancient Egyptian setting, pirate alternate universe, and so on. Whomever the artists are truly do have an active imagination, and Sonic suspects they got that motivation from whatever freaky thing they would find on the Internet. Surprisingly, it's not just him and Shadow, but there were other feature pairings he had saw.

Knuckles & Rouge… Tails & Cream… Amy & Blaze…. Even Silver & Mephiles!

Sonic hadn't been to the bookshop for at least a week, and the bookshop owner Martha informed him that she received 3 more doujinshi novels. He suspected that she had told the artists of his readings, causing them to send more of their work to her, hoping to provoke him or get a good reaction from their work. It was still weird knowing people were writing about him and Shadow being in love and having sex… but he kinda liked the end result.

Opening the new doujinshi, this one-shot featured both him and Silver caring for both Shadow & Mephiles, who were turned into Chaos. Sonic was surprised they all remembered Mephiles, but decided not to know as he wanted to see if it'll be a cute fluffy story and not a steamy one that would make his groin ache.

"I have worn dresses before, but I don't know if I can pull off wearing a sexy seductive French maid outfit," he mumbled to himself.

Suddenly, a loud thump was heard from downstairs, causing him to put the doujinshi away as he got up and rushed out of the room. He remembered Tails went to spend the night at Cream's house for a slumber party, and wouldn't be back until tomorrow. If its Eggman trying to pull a sneak attack on him, he'll be in a world of hurt.

Once he reached downstairs, he was surprised to see 2 individuals soaking wet from the rain. "Shadow? Rouge?"

"Hey there, blue~ Sorry for crashing in, but we had to avoid the storm~" Rouge waved, then sneezed.

Sonic disappeared for a moment, then came back and handed them warm towels. "What happened?"

"Completed a mission, couldn't fly home due to the bad weather, and Mr. Grumpy here used up most of his chaos energy during the mission so he could only use his remaining chaos control to bring us to the closest place for shelter, which is here," Rouge dried her head with the towel.

Shadow grumbled, drying himself with the towel. "Apologies for ruining your rug."

Sonic blinked at his apology, then waved it off. "Don't worry about it. Tails and I were gonna replace it anyways." He then guided them to the couch where they can sit down. "I'll make some warm tea for the both of you so you two won't get sick. Want some snacks with it?"

"Please do! And may we use your bathrooms?" Rouge asked.

Sonic nodded with a smile. "Sure! We have one upstairs that's free and downstairs that's free. You can use the showers and place your wet clothes in the hamper so we can get them dry." He then started to tap his chin to think. "I have a bunch of clean clothes, so I'll have to see if they can fit you both. If not, then maybe the bath robes can work?"

"Either is fine as long as we're warm~" Rouge smirked, then nudged Shadow. "Looks like you'll be wearing pants after all~"

"Says the one who doesn't do her laundry on time!" Shadow glared at her.

"Sharing is caring~"

"Wash your own laundry instead of mixing them with mine!"

Sonic decided to let them finish their argument as he went straight to the kitchen, opening the cabinets to get the tea bags out and other necessities to make the tea. As he started preparing them, he heard the duo stop their argument and heard one of them going upstairs to where the bathroom is. Luckily, he remembered to keep his door closed so no one would peek in. It'll be embarrassing if they saw what was on his bed.

His face turned red, realizing that Shadow is actually in his house. Okay, take a deep breath and release it. Keep your emotions stable, do not freak out, and think of a plan before acting on it. They will not see the doujinshi in his bedroom. Its rude to barge into someone's room without knocking, and Sonic is certain they'll only be staying here until they fully recover and when the storm subsides.

"What kind of tea are you making?"

Sonic jumped, and spun around with his hand on his chest. "Dude! You nearly gave me a heart attack!"

Shadow smirked, folding his arms over his chest. "Good. That was my plan."

"Then I guess Rouge will be the only one enjoying the chocolate coffee cake I have in the fridge to go along well with the tea," Sonic grinned evilly at him.

Shadow dropped his smirk, as his eyes narrowed. "You're bluffing."

Sonic opened the fridge door, gesturing to the delectable round chocolate cake decorated with toppings and cream in the layers. If there's one thing Sonic recalled, Shadow loves coffee and chocolate. "Am I?"

Hearing no comeback, Sonic smirked as he closed the fridge door and went back to making the tea. "It's Earl Gray Tea. The flavor matches well with chocolate." He turned his head to look at his rival. "You can use the guest bathrooms to take a warm bath so you won't catch a cold. Everything will be ready once you and Rouge are done."

Shadow shook his head. "I never get sick."

"Then what about-

"I have a high body temperature, so I'm able to dry myself quickly and not get wet. Also, I don't need to wear any clothes," Shadow studied Sonic's appearance. "But how come you're wearing them?"

Sonic pointed to his outfit. "These are my cozy pajamas."

"An oversized shirt and stockings?"

"Perfect to sleep in."

He could feel Shadow's gaze on him from behind, but chose to ignore it as the kettle made a whistling sound, indicating the tea is ready. Pouring in two coffee mugs, he placed the kettle back on the stove and went to the fridge as he opened it and brought the chocolate coffee cake out, closing the fridge door with his foot and placed it on the counter. "So how is the tea?"

"Edible," Shadow commented, then took another sip from his mug.

"I'll take that as a word for 'delicious'," Sonic got some plates and utensils out.

As he placed 2 slices of cake on two separate plates with spoons on them, he gave a plate to Shadow and picked up the last plate and mug and went over to the living room, placing them on the table so Rouge could come see it was ready. Sonic looked around, then glanced back at Shadow. "Did Rouge take the upstairs or downstairs guest bathroom?"

Shadow sat down on the couch, placing his plate and mug on the table. "I saw her go upstairs, wanting to use the better bathroom for privacy."

"Does she know where it's at?"

"I doubt it."

Hoping she didn't went into his room, Sonic told Shadow a quick 'excuse me for a second' and rushed upstairs, over to where his bedroom is. As he opened the door, his eyes widened in horror as he saw the white bat sitting on his bed and reading the doujinshi. "R-Rouge!?"

Rouge, who had a white towel wrapped around her head along with a bath robe to cover her figure, glanced up with a sly smile. "I can definitely see you as a bottom."

Sonic appeared in front of her, ripped the book from Rouge's hands, and coddled it to his chest. "D-Do not tell anyone about this! Not even to Shadow!"

"Relax, baby blue~ I won't share this scandalizing secret to anyone~"

"N-Not even to-

"I don't mind that you like Shadow~ In fact, I can help you confess to him~"

"H-Hold on-

"Let's not keep him waiting~ Can't give him the wrong idea~"

Rouge flew out of his room through the door, winking at Sonic as she went past him. Sonic, who hid the doujinshi under his pillow, ran after her. Once he made it downstairs, he found Rouge sitting on the couch and sipping the Earl Gray tea. Seeing Shadow also doing the same made Sonic quietly sighed in relief, glad she never told him. Deciding to get himself something, he went into the kitchen, pouring himself a glass of water and taking a huge gulp.

Sonic opened the door, wondering who would be knocking before midnight. When his eyes met crimson red eyes glaring fiercely at him, the color drained from his face, and he slammed the door shut. Didn't he just saw Shadow 2 days ago!?

He heard a growl from the other side of the door. "Open this door right now!"

"Y-You got the wrong house!"

He flinched when he felt hands placed on his shoulders from behind, and hot breath fanning against his ear. "I know you live here, Faker."

Sonic spun around, back pressed against the door as he saw Shadow in front of him. He forgot Shadow can use Chaos Control. "I-It's close to midnight, Shads! I-I gotta get some sleep!"

Shadow didn't say anything, choosing to stare at Sonic. Then, in a blink of an eye, he grabbed Sonic's face and forcefully kissed him. Sonic gasped, letting out a muffled squeak as he felt something warm and slimy licking his lips. This wasn't a doujinshi, and it's not a dream either.

Shadow is actually kissing him! His dark counterpart is making out with him!

Sonic placed his hands on Shadow's shoulders and pushed him back, breaking the kiss as he regained his breathing. "W-Wait! I-I thought you wanted to tell me something!"

Shadow tsked, pulling him close for their faces to be dangerously close. "I let my actions do the talking."

"Now hold on! I never asked if I wanted to be kissed by you!"

"Does it matter? I wanted to kiss you."

"Why!?"

Shadow grabbed his chin, looking straight at him. "I was informed by a certain someone that you have feelings for me."

Sonic turned red, cursing to himself and at Rouge for not keeping her promise. She is definitely going down once Sonic sees her again. And he never forgets it!

"And after doing some thinking, I decided to come and speak with you on the matter per say," Shadow continued, watching Sonic's hands ball into angry fists. He had a feeling Rouge isn't gonna survive Sonic's wrath, prompting a silent prayer for her.

Sonic glared at him, frustrated. They could've talked about this in a civilized manner, not act like frivolous beasts. "That is not how you're supposed to ask out someone you like! You gotta say it from the heart! For example – Shadow, I liked you ever since our first meeting and during the time we had gotten to know each other! I like how you're fast like me, how you're not afraid to face danger no matter how tough and powerful your opponent is, and the soft spot you have for anything cute such as cats and chao's!"

He poked his finger at Shadow's chest fur. "I get jealous when I hear people talk about how mysterious and sexy you are, which is true! I love your beautiful ruby red eyes, your cute face, your smile, and your soft chest fur! Heck, I love everything about you! You're beautiful both inside and outside, so don't you ever forget it!"

Grabbing his shoulders, Sonic pulled Shadow into a heated kiss, prompting him to hug his neck as he deepened it. His mind is screaming at him to pull away and run before he gets killed, but his heart and body are telling him to never let go, which he listened as he felt Shadow hugging his waist and attacking his lips. He felt Shadow grab his bottom, causing him to hook his legs around his crush's waist as he was held like a child.

Sonic felt his back pressed against the door, feeling Shadow grind his body against his. Stroking his dark quills, he could hear a rumbling sound from Shadow's chest, indicating it was a purr. As they continued their make out session, the lights to the living room turned on, making them break the kiss and look over to see who interrupted them.

"Can't you two keep it down? It's the middle of the night!" Tails pointed to the clock, as he let out a huge yawn. "If you're both gonna end up being loud, then do the mating ritual somewhere else! I don't want nightmares of my brother and his rival doing the hokey pokey!"

"T-Tails!" Sonic screeched, feeling his face heating up. How does his own brother know about it, and when did they became that loud!?

Shadow scoffed, as he glared at the fox. "Do you mind!? I'm trying to mark my claim here!"

"Last time I checked, I live here!" Tails glared at him. "And Shadow, do not break my brother's heart or I will hunt you down and bury you alive!"

Giving him the 'I'm watching you' look, Tails went back to his room. Sonic groaned, burying his face on Shadow's shoulder. "I did not want my little bro to see me doing that in the living room."

"Too bad for him because I'm not stopping," Shadow nibbled on his ear. "Shall we re-enact a scene from your book on how I make you beg for me to take you?~"

Yup! Sonic is definitely going to kill Rouge for this!

And there you have it! I hope you guys liked it! Now, the next chapter will be an AU Sonadow version related to a commission drawing. Remember, review and comment on this story and I will update it! So please do that! The more reviews, the better!
