Gun Bound Engagement

PoV: Sonic

"Sonic, come here for a moment," Scourge pulled me away from the maid who was asking what plates to put out.

"Wait, I still haven't picked a plate," I had been pulled around by everyone. I'd picked so many things I couldn't even tell what the end result would look like.

"Set the gold leaf china!" Scourge shouted at them, "It's what I usually lay out."

"China?!" How fancy is this party!? Oh, chaos I picked chips as an appetizer!

"Yes, I have a very important guest coming-" he stopped as we walked past then setting up the buffet table, "Chips?"

"...I panicked..." I had no idea what I was doing...

"How many parties did you go to in high school?" He pulled me to the couch and sat with me.

"Not really. Just a team barbeque every few wins," I answered.

"Team?" Scourge pulled me into his lap.

"H-hey... What about the party?" I felt him grip the fabric of the dress. Is he... upset? "Scourge?" He wasn't responding. Wait wait wait. How did I make him mad?! "... I was a track team member. It's the reason I got into the police academy. It's been a long time since I've run," his grip started loosening, "It was fun being team captain in school."

Why am I telling him about this? Still, it worked. He doesn't seem mad anymore.

"Let's finish decorating the party. You can keep your chips on the table," he picked me up, "It's time to pick the drinks! We'll serve whatever you want. This is your party too."

"Wait, I just told you I've never planned a party like this!"

Is this really okay?

The buffet table was all over the place. There were so many fancy dishes and trays. One side had sashimi the other had a stake cut into a rose shape. Everything was so fancy, like in a movie. And yet, it felt so out of place to have a bowl of chips sitting in the center below the cakes and desserts.

"Sonic, it's time, let's get you ready!" The maids pulled me back upstairs and I was brought to a hot bath.

"Wait, I'm not a fan of bat-ahh!"

They pushed me in and started scrubbing me immediately. They scrubbed, rinsed, conditioned, and then pulled me out after a final rinse. They blow dried my fur and then coated me with a fur and skin lotion.

"Perfume would compliment her nicely don't you agree," they held up a few different bottles.

"N-no thank you. Perfumes actually make me feel a bit queezie. You think we could skip that part?" I took them away from the maid and put them down.

"No perfume then. Now, let's dress you and get your fur tidy for this event."

They made me keep my quills down and dressed me in the green dress with the gold trim again. They draped a black shall over me and then put me in black heels.

"Woah..." I looked exactly like a woman. I couldn't recognize myself at all.

"Is he ready?" Scourge came in, "You look outstanding."

"I didn't know you knew what outstanding ment," I turned around and started messing with my fur. Why do I need to keep my quills down like this?

"You're right, I used a dictionary online," he held up his phone.

"That's sad," I wanted to wipe off the lipstick.

"Really?" he sighed and came up behind me, "Sonic I'd like you to use she and her pronouns, just for tonight."

"W-why?" I suddenly felt anxious.

"One of our most important guests tonight is homophobic. But I have a good deal with him. I need you to stay protected. Remember, everyone is expecting to meet my wife, not my wonderful husband. I don't want to lose you. Please, listen to this one order and keep your quills down while guests are in the mansion. They were already suspicious of your name, we'll call it gender-neutral. Do you understand?" Scourge hugged me.

"Yeah... I'll follow those pronouns and keep this outfit on..." How did I end up dressed as a girl again? But... Scourge was purring against my back as he hugged my waist, I think this is more for him than anyone else.

"Boss, the guests are arriving," one of the security guards came in.

"Alright then," Scourge took my hand. It was only now that I realized he was nicely dressed in a suit, "Let's go greet our guests."

"Right..."
