Red and the Beast

The curse is broken

Shadow was shocked and returned the kiss. His body starts glowing and a flash brightens the room. The servants start feeling their body's returning as the barrier starts to fall. The castle restores to its original shape and beauty as the light continues to shine. It was so bright it awoken the villagers from their sleep. They gasp seeing the castle reappear as the light starts to die down. The light finally disappears as they part away from their kiss. Knuckles opens his eyes and jumps back seeing shadow no longer a beast but his old self. "Shadow?" He said. Shadow looks down and sees normal hands inside of wolf like paws. He turns to face the mirror and smiles seeing himself again making his heart sore. "KNUCKLES THE CURSE IS BROKEN!!! YOU FREED US ALL!!!" Shadow yelled in happiness and runs over hugging him tightly. "Thank you!" He said as tears fell from his eyes. "Wait... that means..... you actually love me...." He looked into the echidnas eyes as he blushed. "Yes I do.... I love you Shadow." He smiled and Shadow smiled wider. "I love you too Knuckles." Shadow said cupping the side of his face and kissed him. "OH WHAT JOY!!!" Said a male voice making the two turn around seeing a blue hedgehog. "That it is sonic" shadow smiled. Tails walks in and runs to knuckles hugging him. "I KNEW YOU BREAK THE CURSE BUDDY!" He shouted in joy. The whole castle rejoiced in the curse being broken. "Knuckles we are forever grateful I am so grateful there's no words that can express them."  He smiled. "Another kiss?" Knuckles smirked and Shadow chuckled then kisses him. "So perfect!" Cream clapped. "Sire! The villagers are approaching!" Silver said. Shadow smiles and opens the window seeing his people walk up in disbelief. "MY PEOPLE!" He said and they all looked up. "ITS THE PRINCE!" "HES ALIVE!!!" "OH WHAT JOY!" The villagers cheered. "Tomorrow night I shall host a glorious celebration and all is invited!!!! There I shall explain to you all!" He proclaimed and they all cheered. Locke had the authorities arrested Manson and the two men before the villagers head back to sleep as well as the servants. Yet knuckles and Shadow headed to shadows room to talk and then lead to the deep hidden desires between the sheets.
Shadow kisses the red ones neck as his body moves in away that pleasures his love. He groans as nails dig into his back and glides down as moans leaves knuckles lips. Legs wrapped around shadow's waist tightly as he enters deeper. "Fuck shadow~" knuckles moaned before biting into shadow's shoulder. Shadow smiles through grit teeth hearing the pleasure he's giving. "Please shadow faster~" he begged his prince. Shadow goes faster until he finally releases making knuckles eyes roll back. "Want more?" Shadow asked between breaths. Knuckles nods and kisses Shadow deeply as two continue their passionate dance in bed.

The following night the castle was filled with people talking, dancing, and enjoying themselves. Shadow explains to his people of the curse and how knuckles broken it. The villagers genuinely smile and clapped for someone they once considered the outcast. Knuckles sees Mrs. Avery and runs over to talk to her. Meanwhile Shadow pulls Locke aside to speak with him. "Your mother and I knew you'd were special. I'm so proud of you knuckles" she smiled. "Thank you but it's because of you and moms love is why I am who I am today" he smiled and they hugged. "I will say this you better say yes" she whispered. "What do you mean?" He asked but before she could reply she bows. Knuckles turns around seeing shadow walk up. "May I speak with you on the terrace?" He smiled and knuckles nods. Shadow takes knuckles hand and they walked out to the terrace after he kindly asked two people to leave them alone. Once alone under the crescent moon and the flowers that appeared to glow around them shadow cleared his throat. "Knuckles ever since we met as children I knew you were special. My heart raced when I saw you that night you took your fathers place and your eyes were the most beautiful thing I ever seen. You saw past the beast and became my friend then my love. Knuckles..." Shadow kneels down and knuckles tears up. "Will you marry me and be my king" he smiled and knuckles smiled. "Yes Shadow I will" knuckles smiled and shadow stood up so they could share a kiss. They walked back into the castle where Shadow announced their engagement making the people cheer.

Yet while everyone celebrates the engagement Manson is hatching a plan.
