Not Yourself...?

Passion (16)

3rd POV

It was the next day after the overwhelming unclear thoughts Sonic had of Shadow and Shadow came early to visit Sonic again.

"You really want that paycheck, huh?" Sonic joked as he awkwardly laughed. That gushy feeling in his mind or maybe in his heart has not really faded away as he thought it would. Shadow nodded with a glare on his face. "Stop looking at me like that." Sonic mumbled as he crossed his arms, mirroring the same position Shadow was in. Shadow turned his gaze away from Sonic as he rolled his eyes and Sonic turned away.

"You seem nervous...why?" Shadow gazed back at Sonic once again as Sonic looked back at him with furrowed eyebrows. "Is it because we had sex? What? Can't look at me the same?" Shadow asked in a tease as he tilted his head and lowered his eyelids. Sonic's eyes widened at the straight-forward questions and shifted slightly back. "Oh?" Shadow raised his brows as he also raised his head.

Shadow sighed."You should get some rest." Shadow suggested, Sonic locked eyes with Shadow's as his eyes had shown surprise. "Why? I feel fine?" Sonic let loose his crossed arms, causing them to dangle on the side. "You have a history of anxiety attacks, I don't want our situation to cause you overwhelming stress." Sonic nodded with a furrowed eyebrow as he nodded. "Why though?" He rose a tone of suspicion that Shadow did not like. "So I wouldn't have to deal with you? I don't know. Just do as I say." Shadow scoffed as he scolded Sonic. At this point, Sonic felt uneasy with the amount of kindness Shadow was gifting him.

"Okay. I just want to know, why are you helping me? Pushing me to feel better? It just doesn't make any sense—" Sonic began to stumble and stammer over his words until Shadow shouted his words of truth to interrupt the yelling blue one. "Because I feel like I have to! I—I have to help you or else everything I went through would be meaningless. I feel so unsatisfied with what happened to me, that I thought helping you will help satisfy my desire to a healed wound, even if it still left a scar." Shadow yelled at the blue one whose silence was louder than the gaze in Shadow's eyes.

"I never knew you felt that way." Sonic pointed at the couch, signaling them both to sit down and signaling a talk. "Why?" Sonic asked gently. "Because no one ever helped me, so I wanted to feel something by helping you." Sonic nodded, lowering his head. "I understand. I'm sorry I could've never been there for you. If I knew you more deeply, I would've been there with no hesitation. But I thought you hated me." Sonic shrugged with a weak smile and then sighed lightly. "It's in the past, and everyone thought we hated each other, it's no big deal." Shadow crossed his legs as he also crosses his arms. "You doing all of this, is proving how much it still is a pretty big deal to you." Sonic tilted his head, looking at Shadow with pity as Shadow furrowed his brows. "Don't pity me." Shadow scowled.

"I genuinely want to help you though. Now that I understand, that...uh...pain you feel that hurt you and still does, I know it can be draining. Shit, it almost drained the life out of me." Sonic leaned in closer to Shadow, resting his hand on his as the warmth of his fingers shifted from left to right. Shadow took a deep breath and shifted his gaze anywhere else but on Sonic's eyes. He twiddled with his fingers and finally laid eyes on the green ones in front of him.

POV Sonic

It has been a few seconds of our eye contact and something in his eyes just seemed to fill me with so much life even if he felt so dead. I began to lean closer to him my head tilted and my hand cupped his cheek. I felt his tender lips on mine and my eye lids lowered. I moved slowly and gently, treating him with passion after he lived in pain. I looked up at his eyes, his eyes softened. He leaned slowly towards my hand and my heart beat fastened. Seeing him so soft made my heart flutter in a form of joy I have never felt before. He shuddered beneath me as I gasped when his hand pushed me deeper into this tender kiss.

I was on top of him and he nibbled on my lower lip as I opened my mouth for him. He pulled my body closer to his, a heatwave bubbling up and rising throughout our bodies. We parted lips as we panted, I kept my eyes on his while he kept his eyes on mine. I got off of him slowly, I didn't want to make him uncomfortable, but as I moved back, he leaned forward, keeping his eyes locked in with mine. He pulled me close again, like he was in a trance and kissed me roughly but with so much passion. I shut my eyes as I felt myself melt to his touch.

I was on top of him again, sitting on his lap. He connected our lips and he forced my mouth open with his tongue, strong like the vicious waves of the ocean. We battled with our tongues, like their desires were stronger than our self control. Soft moans were heard from me and I felt his loud, hot, breath steaming over me like fog. As we let go, we let the saliva string between our mouths dangle before we slammed our lips back together. His hands lowered down to my waist and they slowly moved lower, pulling me closer and closer until there was no space between our bodies.

His mouth changed direction too, I felt his panting breath on my shoulder as he kissed and nibbled around my neck. I placed my hand on his waist, and one on the back of his head. I couldn't describe this feeling anymore...he feels so right, so warm.
Then we stopped
...
We pulled away, and sat on opposite ends on the couch. The sound of keys jiggling outside the front door alarmed us somehow.
The key entered, then twisted, then unlocked.

3rd POV

The two hedgehogs heard the door knob rattle and their heads turned towards it, soon appearing a short yellow fox in their sight. "Hey guys!" Tail's exclaimed as he lightened the mood for the quiet aura surrounding the room. "Hey." They both said after each other.

Later that Evening Tails received a call from the police station. "Eggman has admitted into having an ally, but he won't admit who. We are calling to see if you know anyone who perhaps dislikes Sonic?" Tails held up the phone so the two hedgehogs who sat on the couch can hear. "I don't have anyone in mind." Tails looked at the two in worry as he listened to the police speak on the phone. "He said something with someone wanting a custom potion. Do you recognize anyone?" Tails's eyes widened as he placed the phone on the counter. "Sir? Hello?" The police called out in a demanding tone, rising an anxious, unknown, realization across the phone.
