17 - Focus - 17

South island - Green Hills, Green Hill Zone

Afternoon, 12:00 PM

Sweat rolled down his forehead, his brain starting to ache with this fierce flow of concentration. He had never focused on something so hard in his life, except for the whole chaos control with a fake emerald incident. His face was turning red, his body was on fire and his insides felt like they were melting. He wasn't used to using this much power at once, having this much of it enliven his entire anatomy like this. It was painful, it was confusing and it was difficult honing it into certain parts of his frame. How the hell did Shadow do this all the time so effortlessly? He could feel this nearly bottomless source inside of him, but he always struggled tapping into it outside of using Super Sonic. He thought having a master teach him would make it super easy from the start, but he supposed he was a fool to think that way. There were no easy roads in life, after all. Sonic inhaled sharply before falling over onto his knees. He could barely hold himself up over the striped green grass, and he was gasping as if he had been choked. His eyes were clenched shut, his arms convulsing as he attempted to catch his breath. He felt like he was overloading himself, because everything felt so strained.

A pair of ebony and red striped legs stood before him. Shadow stared down at him with an unreadable expression, placing his arms behind his back and eyeing his lover carefully. "No," He simply said. "You're using too much at once. You're forcing your body to hone this massive amount of power before you can even focus it in a specific direction." He tilted his head as he walked around his trembling body. "You're overloading your body, your organs, your bloodstream and your brain. Chaos energy requires all of these things to work synchronously in order to bestow it's true potential. If you keep trying to use it that way, you'll kill yourself." He got down on one knee to watch Sonic's face carefully. "You're going too fast—ironically—trying to rush yourself into learning what to do." He looked at his ear and tapped it with his finger. When it reacted by flicking his digit away, he got the result he wanted. If his ear wouldn't have reacted, that would have been bad. "Good, your nerves and reflexes are still working. You're not out just yet. Come on," He ordered lightly. "Get up, you're fine."

Spitting out some blood on the ground, Sonic wiped his mouth with the back of his arm and wobbly stood back up. "Easy for you to say, you're literally made of the stuff."

"Just because I'm made of it, doesn't mean it was instantly easy for me to use." Shadow quickly discredited this false information as he watched Sonic attempt to catch his breath. "Understand that Gerald made me a living, sentient creature with a working brain. While I was made for efficiency, I still had to learn the concept. It was easier for me to tap into the power, but I had to be trained to use chaos energy correctly. This took many months, but since I had no distractions or even a sense of 'living' besides interacting with Maria, it was much more simple for me to focus. And that," The biohog pointed to him. "Is your problem." He stepped in front of the hero and plucked the side of his head. Sonic winced and gave him a glare, his pupils constantly readjusting. At least his body wasn't completely out of whack. "Your senses are still present...Good. Anyway," He continued. "You take living life carefree too literally, as your body's adjusted to your mentality. You only force your body to go into overdrive during dire situations, which usually involves using Super Sonic. You've never trained yourself to keep your body in excess energy for consistent, long periods of time like I have. It's strenuous, painful work. You can't force out chaos energy until you've mastered such a discipline."

With a stressed expression, Sonic resorted to just sitting on the ground. His legs were too tired to stand. "So you're sayin' I gotta hurt myself like I just did for long periods of time just to be able to do it?"

Shadow shook his head. "No, this isn't the only way to learn. Meditation is also a great way to do it."

"Meditation, huh?" Sonic replied with a bored voice.

"Yeah, something else you fail at miserably." The GUN agent chastised, noticing his apathetic expression. "You don't know how to relax, at least not in a spiritual sense. You like taking vacations on beaches, sleeping on tree branches and gorging yourself on terrible fast food, but that's not true relaxation. It's funny, actually." Shadow crossed his arms over his chest. "You have such a free spirit to begin with, that it's strange that you can't meditate well enough to tap into your power. You have no conflicting darkness inside of you physically or mentally to obscure your ability to do so, yet you can't. But I see why," He trailed off knowingly. "Because you don't filter your mind."

The blue hedgehog made an incredulous expression. "Don't that happen when ya nap?"

Shadow scoffed. "Slumber does not equal serenity, hedgehog. Emptying your mind is true tranquility. There were long lengths of time where Gerald had me asleep in life pods and full body test tubes. Sometimes I was awake, so I couldn't do anything but stare while life proceeded without me." He glanced out at the green fields of Green Hill Zone, reminiscing about his early days of living. "I had nothing but time. Thinking eventually became abysmal to me, so I would just meditate. It kept my brain in check from going insane from the isolation." He looked down at Sonic. "Meditation isn't just for pious monks and fake social media yoga buffs, it literally cleanses you mentally when performed correctly. It's not used to completely empty your mind per se, but it is used to help clear everything else away so that you can focus on only one thing in depth. Once your mind is clear, focusing chaos energy becomes nearly second-nature because it'll be the only thing you have to think about. Then, you can pull it directly from the source, your body."

Sonic's expression softened as he listened to his words. Speaking with Shadow was always so enlightening when they weren't fighting, he wished they did this more when he was younger. "You know," He suddenly said. "I think I did meditate correctly once."

The biohog already knew what he was talking about. "Chaos controlling with that fake chaos emerald, right?"

"Yeah," Sonic nodded. "If I didn't do something, I was gonna die in that capsule and everything was gonna go to hell. In that split second, everything from my head disappeared. I focused on nothing but getting back to my friends. I was able to concentrate and before I knew it, I had used chaos control for the first time to get back on the Ark. I was sore after that, but it worked."

"Precisely," Shadow concurred. "That's what you need to do. Meditate more often so that when you do try to focus on using chaos energy, it'll be easier and won't be so taxing on your body. And soon, you won't need to do it at all. Of course, it helps to do it every once in a while if you want to keep up with it. It's like using a convoluted muscle. The more you keep it in shape, the less time you'll need to strengthen it."

The hero scratched the side of his face. "Okay, but how do you even go about it? I honestly don't remember how I did it the first time."

The biohog decided to sit beside the blue hedgehog and crossed his legs into a pretzel. "Calm your body, and then your mind. Sometimes it helps if you close your eyes. Don't you dare fall asleep, by the way. I'll kick you."

Sonic copied his movements and position, and did as he described. He placed his hands on his knees and closed his eyes. "Okay..."

"Steady your heartbeat, let things move slower."

"Slow everything down, I think I'm starting to get it."

Shadow watched him closely. "Now steady your breathing. Focus, then breathe." He nodded in satisfaction, Sonic was doing everything he was saying flawlessly. "Focus, then breathe...Keep doing this until things start to clear out." He could hear his breathing fix into a simple, but calming pattern. He then reached over and placed his hand onto his peach chest, which would normally make him react in a flustered manner. However, there was absolutely no reaction from the hero. He even felt his heartbeat slow itself. He was doing it, this was perfect. "Yes, just like that. Keep that up, and think of nothing but my voice." Soon, Sonic could hear nothing but his lover's voice. Not the flickies, not the leaves of the palm trees, not even the wind. Only Shadow's voice. "Very good. Keep that up until my voice drowns out. When it does, you...ot...it..."

...

Silence.

Pure silence.

Sonic heard nothing, felt nothing, and most importantly, could not be bothered by anything.

Yes, this was it. This was the tranquility Shadow was speaking of. This wasn't just peace, this was a peace of mind.

"..."

Shadow smirked with pride, because he knew he'd get it eventually. He had to admit, he thought it would take a little longer for him to get the meditation thing down. However, as usual, Sonic trumped his expectations. He simply sighed and closed his eyes as well, deciding that he would wait until the moment of truth would occur. It took several minutes, perhaps over ten until he saw results. He heard the sound of something similar to electricity, and opened one eye. He could see a blue aura beginning to enwrap itself around Sonic's limbs. His quills were slightly raising in the air, and his fur was waving from a sudden growth in strong winds. "Perfect." Shadow whispered. He moved to get behind Sonic, and reached his arms around him. He gently placed his hands on his arms, guiding them to raise upwards. That power concentrated into his palms, meaning that the hero was unconsciously comprehended Shadow's movements and intentions. Even better. "Now," Shadow brushed his lips against his face. "Chaos-" He murmured in his ear. A bright light flashed before his eyes. "-Blast."

A blue laser-like beam shot from Sonic's hands, shooting through the entire zone like a grounded shooting star. Several miles away, it smacked against the side of a cliff, causing several large crumbling rocks to fall into the oceans below with big splashes. After a few seconds, the light of it died out and faded into chaotic embers.

The heat of the ability steamed from his palms, and Shadow rubbed his fingers into them affectionately. "You did it."

The blue one suddenly snapped his eyes open with a loud sigh. "Holy shit..." He breathed. "That's what it feels like to use chaos energy without the emeralds?"

"Indeed." Shadow gave him a small smile. "How do you feel?"

"Amazing." Sonic replied breathlessly as he stared at his own hands. He had no idea he was that capable of doing such a thing. "I felt like...Like I could do anything." He was so awestruck, how long could he have done this? He should have approached Shadow about teaching him ages ago, but his immature ego probably would have prevented him from doing so. Damn, what a waste. "It felt so easy, almost like I was using a cheat code. It just flowed like water, all inside of me. But I could still feel you, and anticipate what you wanted me to do. It almost seemed like-What did Amy call it? Clairvoyance."

An interesting way to put it, Shadow thought as he rubbed his hands up and down Sonic's arms. "I suppose that's one perspective, sure. I'd agree that there is a high level of intuition behind it, once you master it."

"H-Hey," The hero blushed a little. "Why so handsy?"

Huh, he didn't know the answer to that. Shadow blinked, he didn't even realize how much he was touching him until now. "I'm not sure," He admitted quietly as he nudged his face against the side of Sonic's neck. "Maybe helping you direct your power...Riled something inside of me."

After lightly moaning from his touch, Sonic chuckled a little. "God, you are so horny. I thought I was bad. You got rutting issues or somethin'? Mating season been over." He sniffed a few times before smirking. "Nah, I can smell your hormones. You're still a little pent up. Geez," The hero noted. "You being out of commission for fifty years really neglected your needs. Ah-" He shyly recoiled from the little pecks being placed on his shoulder. "Come on, not here...I don't want-Mmn..." His body stiffened considerably, he could feel Shadow rubbing his hands from his arms to his chest. "N-Not there..." He inhaled a small gasp, he was groping him again. "A-Ahh...S-Stop," He seized Shadow's wrist, who ceased his movements from the command. "Look, you horn-hog," Sonic scolded with a frown, giving him a harsh glare. "If you're gonna do somethin', at least do it at home. I like messin' around in a bed, thank you very much. Even a lumpy recliner is better than hard ass grass."

"Sorry," Shadow mumbled, his tone now very drunk with an obvious craving. "I wanted to show you how proud I was of you. I guess I got a little too excited."

Liking the sound of that, Sonic licked his lips. "Well, when you put it like that..." He leaned back against the ultimate life form. "I think we made really good progress, so why dontcha take us home?" He lowered his hand behind himself to rub it closer towards Shadow's pelvis. "Pretty please~?"

The biohog took a minute to reply. "Could you teach me something in return?"

"Yeah? Like what?"

A little embarrassed of what he was going to ask, Shadow decided it was best to just take them home so he could explain it there. "...Chaos Control."

Empire City

Afternoon, 12:20 PM

In a green flash, they were back in Shadow's apartment. More specifically, his bedroom, on his bed. He had just fixed the sheets too, oh well. He let go of Sonic and moved to get in front of him. Shadow's cheeks grew a little red but he really wanted this to happen, so he couldn't back out now. "...Can you...Teach me how to..." He looked away for a moment. "...What is it called? I've heard Rouge say it before, it's some form of oral sex."

With a jubilantly naughty smile, Sonic instantly answered for him. "A 'blowjob'. Pretentious assholes call it 'fellatio'. You want me to teach you how to suck dick?"

"And you call me horny." Shadow replied shamefully as he pulled off his gloves. He unclipped his rings and placed them on the nightstand nearby. "But, the way you...Swallowed me yesterday, made my mind go blank. It felt beyond invigorating, but I want to give that feeling to you. I know I won't be able to do as well as you did, but I'd like to learn. Because...I..." He was too flustered to finish his sentence.

Sonic followed Shadow's lead and pulled off his gloves as well, all while making a more sympathetic smile. "Aww, you want me to feel good too? You're so cute."

"It's not just that," Shadow added adamantly, looking into his eyes. "I want to make you feel the way I felt. You made me feel powerful. To be honest, I don't know how else to describe it. It was a mixture of feeling dominant, completely recharged and even...Desired. I never felt so wanted by someone before," He put a hand on his knee. "It made me feel...special." He rubbed his hand upwards towards his thigh. "I don't know if it was because someone was willing to go that far just to make me feel good, or simply because it was you." His hand traveled a little farther, reaching his inner thighs. "You...Are absolutely alluring." Both of their eyes became hazy with lust. "The fact that someone like you likes touching me, likes being around me, it does something to me. You let me touch you, feel your body..." He suddenly kicked his own shoes off of the bed, before seizing Sonic's legs and tearing off his footwear as well. They both felt a familiar heat rising between each other. "And your body," He whispered as he dipped his bare hand underneath Sonic's pelvis once more, earning him a gasp. "I can't keep my hands off of it, I want it close to me every time I see you." After rubbing a little more, the hero's legs widened as his peach member was finally unsheathed. It was semi-hard, but Shadow was confident he could fix that.

Blushing with a playful grin, Sonic placed his hand onto Shadow's cheek to get his attention. "Alright babe, hold on." He tapped his shoulder with his other hand to make the biohog stop. He was eager, and he loved that, but they needed to do this correctly since this was his first time. "Okay, let's back up a bit. I'll tell you what you need to do, but I want you to watch closely. Okay?" After his red eyed lover nodded silently, the hero continued by taking his hands away and putting them to his own body. He placed his hand in between his own blue legs, his fingers rubbing against the shaft. He thumped his thumb against it, showing Shadow that it wasn't as rigid as it should have been. "Nmm, see how I'm not completely hard? Good news is, not only are you sexy but we're really sensitive down here. Once you get your mouth on me, I'll be rock solid and we can really get the party goin'." He wagged his finger at Shadow. "Come here~" He watched the elder one crawl closer and nuzzle his face between his legs. His expression wanting, eagerly waiting for what he would do next. Sonic couldn't handle it, just the sight of his silently excited expression was way more arousing than he expected. "Fuuuuck, don't look at me like that..." He felt Shadow lean down to brush his lips against the tip, placing his hands around it and gazing hypnotically at the head. Sonic could feel himself grow harder, Shadow was so hungry for this and he loved that. He watched him kiss the tip, making his legs twitch automatically. "Mmmn...Okay, you got that part right."

"This part of it is the most sensitive, right?"

"Mmhm~" Sonic smirked. "Someone's been payin' attention. Now, use your tongue and lick the underside of it."

Shadow stuck out his tongue, using the tip of it to lick underneath the head. The flavor of his skin was interesting, probably a taste he'd never forget. "Mmmn," He hummed at the feeling of having Sonic on his tongue, he liked this sensation. "Like this?" He mumbled, slithering it against him even more, feeling the organ harden even further.

Blowing out some air, the hero leaned back and placed a hand on Shadow's head. He scratched behind his ears, feeling him purr underneath him. "Yeah, just like that-Ngh..." He felt himself completely densify, he was fully hard now. He bit his bottom lip, he could tell the biohog was enjoying this almost more than he was. "Mmkay, now that that part's done," He instructed sensually. "I want you to put it in your mouth. Don't forget to use your hands, big boy. That helps create friction, just don't hold me too tight." Slowly, he felt Shadow place the entire head into his mouth, feeling his moist cavern envelope him. He moaned sharply, closing his eyes for a split second. "Shit," Sonic swore as he felt Shadow's tongue fully engulf his member. "Haa...Create a little suction, but not too much, not yet. And don't do it like you have to because of me, do it because you want to. Have fun with it, make me absolutely yours~ That makes it a hundred times better, trust me." Have fun with it and make him his, he said? Shadow could get behind that. He carefully began sucking down, causing Sonic to moan again. He bobbed his head up and down, beginning to understand the pace of this act of indecency. He stroked his fists against his member, realizing how simple this was. The only real challenge was keeping it up.

His spit coated his length, but not in overabundance. His tongue slipped all around him, feeling his precum drip into his mouth. He was tasting even more of him, and he was amazing. He truly couldn't get enough of Sonic's body. The more he jerked his fists upwards and downwards, Sonic would make those lovely sounds that he was addicted to. The level of hardness truly did make a difference, because he could taste and lick against every pulsing vein that was now visible. He went a little faster, not realizing that he was taking more inches of Sonic's member. The more he pet behind his ears, the more he could tell he was doing a good job. Now that he got the basics of it, maybe he could go a little further. He wanted to take more inches of his length, but there was a problem. His mouth, it got tired. He stopped for a moment and pulled his member from out of his mouth. He coughed a little too, it was only beginning to travel to his throat. His gag reflex wasn't very good yet.

He felt Sonic sigh with pleasure before looking down at Shadow empathetically. He's been in his situation before, nothing to be ashamed of in the slightest. "Mouth tired? Relax your jaw more, babe. Sucking against it takes more energy out of your mouth, so to compensate for this, do a little more licking. Take a second before you try again, it's okay." His voice was sweet like honey suckle, completely understanding and not at all disappointed. He just caressed the side of Shadow's muzzle and continued to rub his head lovingly. Shadow could feel his own tail wagging, and he could feel himself harden. Being praised like this was doing something to him. "You're just so eager to please, you're so fuckin' cute." Sonic whispered erotically. He indeed was resting his mouth, but Shadow needed to do something. He needed to feel something. He took one hand off of Sonic's member and reached down below himself. He felt his length already unsheathed, laying against the covers of the mattress. He began to rub slowly, jerking off his own phallus desperately so he could feel that same sensation he felt when he was sucking Sonic off. He was lightly moaning in pleasure, and decided to start stroking Sonic again. The hero caught this, and sneered seductively. "You dirty boy. You got turned on from sucking me off that much? Nmmm," He leaned back against the headboard. "Fuck, that turns me on even more...Don't stop-Ah...!" He felt Shadow put him back in his mouth. "O-Oohhh...Oh fuck...Don't be so rough, babe. You can go slow-Ohh~!" He gripped his fingers on the pillows. "Mmhmhmm...You really want this cock, don't you?"

Shadow pushed Sonic's length further into his mouth, taking up more inches until he could feel the organ reach his throat. This was intimidating since Sonic was large, but he knew how to control his breathing. He just had to be careful and remember his instructions carefully. Relaxing his jaw more, he only lightly sucked at certain parts of his length. As Sonic just advised, sucking used more energy, so he'd use his tongue and mouth to pleasure him until he was ready for the home stretch. He quickened his pace, jerking both himself and Sonic off faster and rougher. His head bobbed up and down once more, his tongue completely tangled around his length. Sonic's legs clenched a little, moaning louder from his treatment. Then, Shadow had an idea. Sonic used a trick on him before, using chaos energy with his finger to instantly make him hard. He'd steal that idea and focus that chaos energy somewhere else. Closing his eyes as he sucked a little harder, chaos energy traveled to Shadow's tongue. He heard Sonic make an almost violent gasp, and he felt him grip his fingers on his head. His hips began moving against his mouth, bucking his length down his throat. The biohog gagged a little, but he wasn't done yet.

"Fuck yeah," Sonic hissed sharply with a deep voice. He reached forward to grip the back of Shadow's quills and use it as leverage to pump himself in and out of his mouth. His eyes grew a dangerous shade of neon green, his grin growing more and more vitriolic. "Suck that fucking dick-Yes, fuck...!" A depraved set of emotions fell over Shadow, and he shamelessly was loving every second of this, stroking both himself and his lover faster. He pressed his lips against Sonic's pelvis, gagging a little more but wanting to pleasure him just as much as he did for him yesterday. He sucked harsher against him, slurping him up profusely with excitement. "You're gonna make me cum..." He humped himself against Shadow's mouth rapidly, arching his back intensely. "Take my fucking cum...Take all of it...!" He made one last thrust against his face before releasing. "A-Ahhh...! Holy shit...!" He felt Shadow moan against him, who was actually hitting his climax at the same time. "Mmm...Swallow it, swallow all of it..." He growled roughly.

Shadow could feel Sonic's essence overflow in his mouth. "M-Mmnngh..." He wrapped his arms around Sonic's legs to hold him close and lock his position. He wanted to taste all of him, he'd do exactly as he commanded. "Mmnnn...!" His own hips jerked, as he was still climaxing onto the sheets below.

Panting heavily, that impish look in Sonic's eyes disappeared as fast as it came. He made a long, deep, drawn out moan before pulling Shadow's head off. What was going on again...? His head was spinning. Once his length slipped out, it dripped with the blue one's seed. Noticing that Shadow's mouth was full with it, he looked at his nightstand for a tissue box. "Fuck...You got any tissues to spit that out? I don't want you to-"

With a gulp, Shadow coughed a little after swallowing it all down.

"..." Sonic blinked in shock. "...Oh my fucking God."

Coughing a little more from deepthroating for the first time, Shadow placed a hand over his mouth. "W...What?" He asked through hacking.

"Did you...Swallow all of it?"

Clearing his throat, Shadow nodded. "Was I not supposed to?"

He really just...swallowed it all?

He didn't spit any of it out despite never doing this before? He was really that comfortable with just-Great Chaos, that was so hot. He was hot, everything he did was hot and it was gonna-Oh no, Sonic could feel his eyes glowing again. "O-Oh shit-Ah...!" Sonic winced as his hips thrusted in the air, squirting out a few more blows onto Shadow's face. Blue chaotic aura erupted from his figure for a split second before fading away. Shadow had no idea how much sexual arousal could affect chaos energy, and vice versa. Good information to know. Nearly tapped of all of his energy, Sonic fell limp against the bed while his chest heaved in and out from that sudden secondary orgasm. "M-Mmmnn fuuuuck..." The abnormal illumination in his eyes faded away for the final time today.

A little alarmed from that reaction, Shadow just wiped his white fluids from off of his face and licked it off of his palm. "Are you...okay?"

Sonic's thighs shook vigorously. If he kept doing stuff like that, he was going to lose it and force himself back down his throat. "Oh fuck, you're licking it off too...?" The hero groaned erotically as he tried his best to calm himself down. "God I don't deserve you, you're too good for me." He made a futile attempt to force his libido to decrease by closing his legs. "You're not grossed out?"

Shadow was genuinely confused. "Why would I? It's from your body and I want it inside of me."

A bestial hunger flashed in Sonic's mind after that comment, but he ignored it as much as he could. Hold back Sonic, hold back...If he didn't, he'd destroy this entire apartment building with Shadow's ass trembling in the rubble. Shadow was slowly driving him insane and he didn't even know it. "Okay-Shadow, please stop talking. You're gonna make me cum again."

"I don't understand what the big deal is." The striped hedgehog simply replied as he got up from the bed. "Am I not allowed to swallow it?"

"N-No, but-Shit." His weirdly attractive naivete was giving the hero a sexual panic attack. "A lot of people don't like swallowing it, so they usually spit it out. Cum doesn't always taste nice."

Shadow shrugged as he bent over a little to pull at the sheets that were soiled. "You tasted fine to me. Actually, you taste a little like fruit. And didn't you tell me to swallow all of it anyway?"

His ears were steaming at this point. Sonic shook his head and got off the bed to let Shadow pull it off the mattress. "Babe, listen. I talk dirty, real dirty, but sometimes my horniness makes me a little hostile and I say things I don't mean. I didn't actually want you to swallow it," He scratched behind his head and frowned sheepishly. "But I was so caught up in the moment that I said I did. Damn, I kinda acted like an asshole...I didn't mean to, though. It was your first blowjob, I didn't want you to have to do that. Actually," Sonic added sincerely. "I'm sorry about that, and I didn't mean to shove myself down your throat like that either. I could have hurt you."

"I wanted that to happen."

Sweet Chaos, he did not deserve Shadow. Sonic was going to have a heart attack. "Shads, you are fucking killing me."

"I'm serious, Sonic." Shadow insisted with a firm tone. "I told you, just because I'm inexperienced doesn't mean I'm fragile. I can handle a few hard hits. Besides," He said as he wrapped up the dirty sheet and picked it up into his arm. "You like it rough anyway, don't you? Well, I do too. So next time, don't worry about me and do whatever you want to me." Ignoring Sonic's stunned silence, he asked him a curious question. "You said the taste of it isn't always pleasant, what dictates that?"

With an exhausted sigh, Sonic mentally decided to try and practice that whole meditation thing Shadow taught him earlier to get rid of these lingering feelings of lust. Him talking like that was doing things to his brain, and he didn't want to ruin Shadow's lovely home with his violent eroticism. "Oh Chaos, please help me not destroy this man in his own apartment..." Sonic mumbled before answering his lover's question. "Depends on your diet and hygiene. Fruits, certain seasonings and junk help make it taste good, so they say. If you eat a bunch of crap like pizza and greasy stuff or don't take care of yourself, it tastes like straight garbage and smells awful. And trust me, I've experienced it before. It's probably one of the most repulsive things I've ever smelled or tasted. Turns somebody into a spitter real quick." He was glad to know Shadow was too suave and clean cut to ever neglect his hygiene or diet, so he'd never have to worry about something like that again. "I know I like pigging out, but I only do that once a week or so. Other than that, my eating habits are pretty good and I always shower, so it all balances out."

Shadow was amused by this information, and he wouldn't forget it. "And how did mine taste?"

"Ummm, I dunno actually." The hero thought for a second. "The thing is, you don't eat regularly like I do. You mostly eat coffee beans, but that's not everyday. I can barely remember the smell. I know it was a little salty, which is normal...Other than that, I guess it didn't taste much like anything." He chuckled a little. "I know you're as healthy as a horse though, you nearly drowned me. But enough of that," He gave a flirty wink with a smirk. "After you throw that in the wash, how bout's you an' I take a bath together? I need someone to help me wash my back~"

"You want to go another round already?"

"Oh hell no." Sonic deadpanned, a sweat drop appearing on his head. "No more of you and your...insane adaptability at sex. If you keep riling me up, we're both gonna blow up this entire complex. I just don't wanna be lonely while I freshen up, is all."

Shadow smirked back. "In that case," He dropped the balled up sheet on the floor and walked closer to hug him from behind. "I suppose we can do that first."

"You read my mind~"
