It was night. A Sunday, quiet, and lazy. But never at night. 

Shadow lay on his side, hugging a pillow, his eyes looking up at Sonic expectantly. He was wearing only Sonic's t-shirt, just a little bigger for him. He blinked softly, watching his lover prepare. 

Shadow wanted to do this, because he was interested, wanted to try something new. Sonic wanted to do this, because, well, ownership. He had been getting a little possessive over Shadow, so he wanted to take this chance to broadcast to the whole world that Shadow was his. 

His, and only his.

The bedsheets had just been changed, just to make sure it was all clean and safe for Shadow.

Putting on rubber gloves, grabbing antiseptic wipes, some salve, numbing creams… And there's the main star of the show — an electrosurgical pencil. Sonic plugged it in, placing it next to Shadow. He shuffled into the bed next to Shadow, smiling.

"Hey, you good?" he asked, using his arm to rub Shadow's shoulder. He didn't want to get his gloves dirty.

Shadow hummed, shrugging, his tail swishing behind him, "Probably..." he said softly, admittedly a little nervous.

"Hey, you know you can always back out. It's not totally mandatory," Sonic chuckled, before softening, "Should I, y'know, tell you what's gonna happen?"

"Remind me."

Sonic nodded, leaning a little closer, "Basically, I'll use the pencil there and draw the pattern you told me to on your thigh, okay?"

Shadow nodded, still nervous. He was excited for it, but he knew it would hurt. He liked to experiment, try things out, but even he surprised himself by showing interest in fucking branding. It wasn't the metal carve out kind of branding, but a gentler, more controlled option. He knew Sonic took some training for it, to be precise and careful, minimise pain and discomfort, but he still felt uneasy.

"It'll hurt, but I'll rub on some numbing cream just to make it less painful. I'll disinfect it too," Sonic continued, "And after I'm done with the drawing, I'll clean it up with some antiseptic wipes and therapeutic salve. Just the cream, the cold one. Then I'll wrap the spot with some plastic wrap."

Shadow nodded, nuzzling Sonic's thigh, "Mhm... I trust you, but, just... be careful," he whispered, looking up, "Tell me before you do anything, please?"

Sonic hummed in response, "Yeah, got it. Just relax, okay? I can give you a break if you get too anxious or whatever."

Shadow nodded again, clutching his pillow, "Mh- m'kay..." he whimpered, feeling just a little anxious. He knew of the risks, but, then again, they were doing the temporary type. So even if he hated it, it would fade in a few months, hopefully.

Sonic gave Shadow some time to relax, to breathe, to ask questions, to prepare. He had to take his time though. This part was delicate and he needed to make sure Shadow felt okay and safe first. There was nothing worse than a scared, anxious Shadow, especially not in bed, definitely not on the battlefield either. Sonic waited patiently, letting Shadow come off the adrenaline rush and calm down.

When Shadow gave a soft, firm nod, Sonic smiled and nodded back. He grabbed the pen, but before he did anything, he whispered, "Numbing cream," he reminded, then gently applied a little around the area he wanted to brand Shadow on.
