Wake Up Sonic

Chapter 16

Sonic's ear twitched once then twice as something continued to move against it.
It was soft and not unpleasant, but the sensation was throwing the blue hedgehog's sleep from his mind, as he began to wonder what it was.
His eyes were firmly shut as he felt sensations from all around;
The surface was cushioned, but still harder than the bed he was used to, and his blanket was a lot heavier than he remembered.
But it was warm.
He wondered if he'd piled up a bunch of those old quilts during the night due to the cold?
It was possible.
But as he attempted to roll over to a more comfortable position, he found himself pinned down by the weight of the blankets.
'What the heck...'
He struggled against the force again, but to no avail.
And that's when he heard the snickering.
His eyes popped open in surprise and fear as he realized he wasn't alone, and with a yelp he tried to get up and away; still pinned down by the thing on top of him. He looked around wildly.
There was something large and wooden to his left, and under his nose he could see that he was on a floor, laying on top of a plush carpet.
Finally he glanced over his shoulder and he gave a sigh of relief as he recognized the black fur of Shadow.
"Good morning Sonic"
Shadow leaned closure to the blue hedgehog's ear underneath him and ignored Sonic's squirming, and he purred his words evilly in Sonic's ear.
"Had a good night's sleep?"
"Shadow! Get off me!"
Shadow smirked and he looked down into tan eye of the captive hedgehog.
"No. I don't think I will."
He leaned down, his arms surrounding Sonic's neck from behind, and nuzzled the back of Sonic's head and he laid on the younger hedgehog.
"I think I shall just stay right here~"
"ugh! Of all the lousy!"
Shadow snickered as Sonic grumbled loudly and pointed his quills; Shadow, being a hedgehog, was not hurt by it but it was a bit uncomfortable in general trying to lay on something so bumpy.
"Hey! That's cheating."
"And grabbing me in my sleep isn't?"
"Hmph! You're just angry that you're losing."
Shadow sat up, gruffly mumbling about Sonic being a sore loser when the hedgehog under him rolled over suddenly, surprising Shadow and pinning the black hedgehog underneath.
"Ha, ha! I win!"
Shadow smirked up at the blue hedgehog and mischievously sent a lick up Sonic's cheek.
"Ah~ So you like being on top; hmm Soniku~?"
Sonic's face turned red and he scrambled up and off causing Shadow to laugh.
"Go shower Sonic; maybe I'll get some work done while I wait."
"Oh no you don't! YOU"RE going to be showering first. That way I can make sure I wont get any sudden surprises."
Shadow grinned and gave a shrug.
"It's okay Sonic; I'll leave some room for you"
"Out!"
Shadow laughed and caught the little stress ball thrown at him as he ran out the office.
Silver checked the paper in his hand for the hundredth time this morning; his other hand outstretched as he kept the bag of other envelops and packages floating beside him.
'Shadow the hedgehog'
Silver grinned and he lowered the paper out of his face as he walked up to the apartment complex.
This was only his second week as paper boy, and already he thought he loved his job!
Somewhere within himself a little fan girl squealed as he thought happily that yes; he would be the only student who could ever safely say that they knew and had gone over to Professor Shadow's home! Any other would die to be in his position right now.
He walked up the main stairway and waving to the man behind the security counter walked to the elevator, clutching the post bag as he thought of what to say.
'Oh, Professor Shadow! This is your apartment?'
His grin widened toothily; he was so excited!
This HAD to be a sign!
The elevator came to a stop and he looked both ways before exiting, making sure he wouldn't run into his teacher before he was ready.
The coast was clear!
He checked his list again and moved down the hallway anxiously and prepared to duck in case anyone approached.
"603....605....607... Ah! 609"
He stood in front of the door and looked around.
He took a deep breath,
He brought the package out,
He made one last look o make sure his hair was okay,
And finally after one more deep breath he sucked in his gut and knocked on the door.
There was a pause and for a moment Silver wondered if Shadow had heard, but then he brightened up as he heard the clink of a chain and the bolt of the lock sliding open, and for a breathtaking moment he waited as the door opened....
But all feelings of happy joyfulness were immediately drowned, crushed, barbequed, sliced, maimed, splattered, and imploded all at the same time as he saw the one person he would NEVER want to see here.
Silver's jaw dropped as he stared into the face of Sonic the hedgehog.
"Oh, Silver! Hey buddy!"
"S-s-sonic? What are you doing here?"
'Do I have the wrong place?'
Sonic felt his sweat drop and he scratched at the back of his quills.
"Ummm long story; basically I just ended up staying over... Anyway! You're here for Shadow right?"
Silver nodded and the feelings of immense sadness washed over him.
"Um. Yea. I have a package for him. Um. I'll need a signature from him"
Silver felt himself clinging to the vague hope that maybe this was a misunderstanding...
"Oh! Okay, well; he's in the shower right now, but I guess you could just wait here till he gets out."
Sonic moved out the way and closed the door as Silver walked into the apartment;
He scanned the room for signs: ANY sign!
For one thing, obviously nobody had slept on the couch; not a good sign.
Silver indeed could hear the sound of water from the shower; so Sonic hadn't been lying about it....
"Oi! Shadow! Silver's here with the mail and needs your signature!" Sonic called down the hallway, before turning and smiling back at Silver.
"He'll be out soon; make yourself comfy I guess!"
Silver decided to sit on one of the metal chairs of the kitchen as he watched Sonic preparing to make breakfast and idly he tried to decided on making Sonic burn himself or not.
"So, how long have you been a paper boy? Does it pay well?"
Sonic looked over his shoulder at the silver hedgehog and Silver replied only half-heartedly.
"Just a week so far. And It's alright..."
"Have you had any other jobs before it?"
Silver shrugged.
"I guess; babysitting sometimes I guess counts..."
"Oh cool! Another fellow babysitter! We should create our own business!"
Sonic grinned and gave Silver a thumbs up, quite unaware of the negative feelings that Silver was sending his direction, but he had reason to be distracted now;
"What's going on?"
Sonic and Silver looked up at the voice and both of them had very different reactions for the same problem;
There Shadow was, standing dripping wet in the middle of the kitchen, naked only for the towel tied around his waist.
Silver found himself unable to comment; he was too preoccupied staring at Shadow;
his rippling muscles stretching under wet, slick black fur.
Sonic on the other hand was very much aware of Shadow in all his sexy nakedness; but he was more concerned with Shadow showing it off in front of guests!
"Shadow you whore! Put some clothes on!"
Shadow picked at his ringing ear with his pinky and sat down, uninterestedly at the table, leaving Silver rather star struck.
"Hey, It's MY house. Not my fault you let people in without my knowledge. What was your name again?"
Sonic grumbled to himself as he busied himself with the eggs on the frying pan in front of him;
"Umm, Its Silver, Mr. Shadow; I just had mail for you and needed a signature"
Silver fought very hard to keep his voice from cracking;
He was on cloud nine right now, JUST for the sight of him sexy, wet, and naked teacher.
Shadow grunted and pulled over the clipboard and pen as he signed for the package, and although feeling rather hesitant eventually Silver forced himself to leave; having his business taken care of. It wasn't until Silver was gone that Shadow turned to the blue hedgehog at the stove and he smirked wickedly.
"Aww, what's the matter Soniku?"
Shadow walked up behind the younger hedgehog and ignoring Sonic's protests, rapped his arms around him from behind and laid his chin on Sonic's shoulder.
Sonic shivered from the contact; Shadow's fur was now cool from being out and wet too long.
"Hey! You're still wet you jerk!"
"Hmph! Your name calling is quite unnecessary; for one thing, I am not a whore."
"Oh yes you are! You're a wet whore!"
Shadow felt his sweat drop suddenly.
"That...sounded very wrong...."
"Hmph! Perv!"
"I'm not a perv... how hurtful."
Shadow gave a miniature pout and Sonic sighed as he fed Shadow a shred of bacon.
"Fine, fine, sorry; You're not a whore... all the time anyway"
Shadow gave him a mischievous look;
"You just want me to be a whore cuz I'm so sexy~"
A flick to the nose got him off Sonic's back.
"Believe what you want Shadow. Get your breakfast already"
"Fine. But you know it's true~"
He sat down with his Eggs and bacon and after a while Sonic was shuffling around the kitchen, making noises as Shadow tried to read the newspaper.
On the way to school Sonic couldn't help but be excited as they past by the stores; they all were ready for Halloween.
He wasn't quite sure what was the best part; The cool looking costumes, or the humongous piles upon piles of candy!
Probably the candy.
"Hey Shads; what's your favorite thing about Halloween?"
Shadow quirked a brow and hesitated.
"It signifies one month closer to the holidays; the longest break I'll get all year."
Sonic gave him a look.
"Always the pessimist aren't you?"
"I'm not a pessimist. I'm simply negative."
"Same thing isn't it?"
Shadow almost fell over.
"Yes. That was the point of the joke, Sonic..."
"Oh...."
As the couple got closure to the school building Sonic began to notice that almost everything; the trashcans, the lamp posts, the information booths, and the walls of the metro stop stairways were all completely covered by millions and millions of flyers.
"Hmm? Something going on?"
Shadow looked ahead toward a group of students standing around and nudged Sonic.
"I'm guessing your friends over there would know."
Sonic looked up to where Shadow was pointing, and he felt his sweat drop.
Over by the big tree in front of the school, were the familiar faces of Rouge, who was shouting through a speakerphone, Cream who was passing out more of the flyers, and the embarrassed looking faces of Tails and Knuckles.
"Something says I really don't want to know..."
He suddenly jumped as on the speakerphone Rouge called him out int eh crowd of students.
"HEY SONIC!"
"Holy shoo-!"
He tried to make a break for it, but in a blue of orange and red he was tackled to the ground by his two best friends.
"Oh no you don't HEDGEHOG! If I have to do this; so do you!"
"Good morning professor" Tails said politely to an amused Shadow as he held on to Sonic's head
"What are we doing anyway!" Sonic shouted, his voice muffled slightly from the weight of his friends crushing the air out his lungs.
Tails put on a dark look and pushed a flyer down in front of Sonic's face.
"This!"
Sonic took a moment to scan the flyer over;
"Umm... I'm confused. It's just another flyer for the Halloween costume party-dance thingy."
"Oh yes. But look at the bottom."
"Umm... Hired costume designers: Rouge and Cream. So?"
"Well, BUDDY! Just guess who's gonna be their 'living advertisement for THIS scheme"
".... Oh hell no! HELLLPPP! HELP! SHADOW COMMON MAN! YOU GOTTA HELP ME!"
Sonic clawed at the ground franticly; he could only imagine what type of costume Rouge and Cream would force him into!
"Oh no you don't! If we're going down; your coming down with us!"
"Help!"
Sonic's cries of mercy could be heard throughout the courtyard as Knuckles and Tail's dragged the struggling hedgehog, and Shadow only shook his head, rather amused, as he followed.
"Ah! There you mare Sonic! Guess what you're gonna help us with!" Rouge said cheerfully.
"Oh come on Rouge! PLEASE don't make me do this!"
"Oh hush you big baby! You don't even know what were gonna dress you up as"
Sonic's eyes popped nearly out his skull in fear and he made a rasping noise, as if he was dying simply from the thought!
"Seriously Shadow; I don't know what you see in him sometimes!"
Shadow shrugged and shot Sonic a smirk as he towered over the blue hedgehog.
Sonic spat his tongue at him and began playing with the inhibitor ring around his ankle mysteriously.
"I wonder that myself sometimes."
"You know, I can hear you down here!"
"Good"
"You shouldn't take up such an attitude with the person who has your shoe."
Shadow looked down in surprise at the sneering face of Sonic, as he realized that somehow the little idiot had undone his skate without him noticing.
"What the! Hey! Off my foot, you!"
He tried to pull his leg away but ended up in a ten minute fight to shake Sonic off, leaving pretty much everyone else rather amused by the spectacle.
It wasn't every day that a student got to see the usually calm and collected professor being anything but such.
The only person not amused was only just arriving.
Silver took one glance over to the group, and as soon as his yellow eyes hit the blue and black forms of Shadow and Sonic playing, a frown formed and he walked right by the group, his mood from this morning a long forgotten feeling.
"So, Professor~, are YOU going to the Halloween party?"
Rouge's voice was sweet, but underneath her words Shadow could hear the underlying threat.
He sighed.
"Unfortunately I'm forced to go anyway. Hmph! I mean really; you guys are in college and yet you need babysitters."
Shadow shook his head and flicked away the hand reaching for his skates again.
"Oh we CAN look after ourselves; it's just that most of us don't"
Sonic explained happily; having succeeded in getting a twig in Shadow's shoe.
He rolled his eyes and gave the blue hedgehog an annoyed look as he tried to get the stick out.
"I can see that unfortunately."
He let the twig drop on Sonic's head before addressing Rouge with an evil smirk.
"So~, may I ask just hat you plan on dressing THIS idiot up as?"
Sonic looked up, stopping mid-motion from stuffing a clump of grass behind Shadow's inhibitor ring.
She gave Shadow an inconspicuous wink;
"oh, I'm debating between a fairy princess and a sailor-girl costume. What say you Cream?"
"Sonic? I think he should be medieval knight!"
"Been there, done that" Sonic mumbled, scratching an ear.
"He should be something less manly; like a cat or something"
"Nah, Knuckles: he's already a hedgehog; I doubt it would do very much"
"He could always be Cinderella" Tails suggested.
"Ohhh~ I got it! A Lolita Maid"
"Hmmm... This interests me~" Shadow mumbled evilly as the image came to mind.
'Me like~'
"URG! Can we please stop talking about making Sonic a cross dresser?" The blue hedgehog yelled up to his friends, still pinned down by Knuckles and Tails.
"Fine, fine. We'll save it for later. We have to get to class anyway."
The group looked toward the big clock over the entrance of the building, and broke off into smaller groups as they walked to class.
"Hi Silver! What's up man?" Sonic greeted as he walked in the door, and gave the other hedgehog a thumbs up.
Silver reluctantly said hello and immediately dismissed Sonic afterwards.
He was in no mood to deal with Sonic right now.
"Today we shall be completing the project started on last class; everyone get into your groups, and get busy: supplies in the supply closet, safety wear on the back table, and chemicals on my desk. You have the next hour"
"Hey Silver, what's wrong?"
Silver looked up at Blaze and shook it off;
"it's nothing Blaze."
Blaze hesitated before turning away to the project, and Silver was to take notes.
But just like before, Silver was hardly able to concentrate on his work.
"Um, that should be 3 milliliters, not 16 Silver"
"Wha-? Oh. Oops. Sorry"
"It's okay. Look, I can finish the writing portion if you need a break."
"No, no, it's fine. Thanks though."
Blaze nodded and continued the experiment and finally Silver tore his gaze away from the blue hedgehog he was beginning to despise;
So, Sonic and Shadow were a couple.
Now what?
Was he going to give up?....
Of course not!
For the first time since that morning, a smile broke out on Silvers face.
He was already coming up with a plan!
After all; if there was one thing Silver never did, it was give up!
With a glare towards Sonic's back he glanced down at his paper and nearly cursed at the mistake he'd made this time.
He wasn't going to give up that easily...
"Hey'a Shads! How's it going?"
"I am well hedgehog. Oh look there's Rouge behind you"
"AH! Don't let her get me!"
Sonic looked around fearfully before he realized he'd just got his leg pulled and glared up to the chuckling hedgehog in front of him.
"You're a real jerk; you know that Shadow?"
"Yes, yes I do."
Sonic gave a huff and began to walk off.
"Aww come on; it was pretty funny"
"Yea; for you!"
"....You're right"
"I swear that bat will be the death of me! Do you know what she tried to do to me at lunch!"
"No, but I'm sure I want to hear this~"
"Well too bad; I'm not telling you."
"Hmph! So petty"
"You would be too if you had to go through THAT horror."
"Actually, that type of thing HAS happened before, but I'm not telling you about it"
"What~! No! Tell me!"
"Nope"
"Aww come on!"
"Nope."
"But you have to!"
"I don't think so~"
"JERK!"
It was already getting dark as the two got to town square, getting closure to the point where they would split up and walk to their own homes in opposite districts.
But as they walked past the big Halloween-themed stores Sonic was hit with a burst of inspiration.
He grabbed his companions hand suddenly and dragged the other towards the nearest highly decorated store.
"Hey! Where are we going?"
"To have some fun!"
Shadow could only imagine just how idiotic they must have looked;
Predictably, seeing as who his company was, he found himself forced into some of the stupidest costumes ever created by a thinking living person.
But that wasn't to say he didn't enjoy himself:
His favorite part was when he'd somehow managed to convince Sonic to wear a very...reveling Maid costume.
"Ha ha! That was fun!"
"Yes. Yes it was."
Sonic grinned up at the black hedgehog.
"Who knew that you of all people made a good Neko"
"Hmph!"
Shadow brushed off the jibe and kept his eyes pointed in front of him.
"Ohhh come on~; you know you like the attention~."
Sonic began to nudge the hedgehog in the side evilly until Shadow pushed his arm away.
"You are devious."
"What! It's called payback! You should have seen the looks I was getting for that maid outfit..."
He shivered at the thought and Shadow's mouth turned up into a smug expression.
"Ahh~, I see; You are just jealous! Poor guy~"
He patted Sonic's head obnoxiously,
"But it's alright; one cannot help but be intimidated by my sexiness~"
He stopped and struck a rather impressive pose, and Sonic made a face palm before pushing the black hedgehog along.
"Okay, Mr. Ego-maniac; lets go before you start stripping or something."
"Such impertinence; didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders?"
"Oh please. You're not THAT much older than me. Otherwise you wouldn't be here."
"Hmph. I'm not sure if I should be happy of the fact; you're such a child. I bet you'll be one of those silly trick-or-treaters this year."
"Nah~ We have that dance thingy."
Sonic paused for a moment and gave himself another face palm.
"Oh great... Thanks a lot for reminding me!"
"My pleasure~"
"Ugh! You're a Jerk!"
"I know"
"Don't you DARE start that up again!"
Shadow chuckled but dropped the matter.
"You're lucky Rouge doesn't know you that well; you don't have to go."
"Yes I do..."
"Huh? You're going?"
"Yup. I'm being forced against my will. Just like you"
"Wha? You mean Rouge got to you too?"
"No."
"Then how're you being forced to go?"
"Amy."
".... Oh...."
"Hmph. I can already tell this is going to be horrible."
"Why? Amy?"
Shadow looked up in surprise.
"No; of course not. I just hate these types of events. So pointless."
"Somehow I agree with you"
It was Halloween night.
Tail's pulled back the curtain and shivered as the wind blew against the walls of the house. The children had already started trick-or-treating.
There were all sorts of costumes; ghosts, and goblins, and witches, and zombies.
Tails lifted up the rectangular black wig and rubbed his forehead, regretting having put on his costume so early.
"Come on guys! Hurry up! Stupid trench coat" he muttered, looking down at his Frankenstein costume.
"Sorry Tails, Rouge is finishing Sonic's costume now"
Knuckles walked into the room, and Tails tried to keep from laughing at the Pumkin disguised Echidna.
"Nice outfit."
"Aww shut up you!"
Tail's was about to comment further, but he was then distracted by a flash of blue as Sonic ran from up the stairs and hid behind him, shielding himself with the two-tailed Frankenstein.
"Help me Tails! She's gonna get me!"
"Come back here Sonic~! I'm not done with your costume!"
"Good! I refuse to wear that THING!"
He turned to Tails and Knuckles,
"Please guys; seriously! She's trying to dress me up as some sorta slave or something!"
"Oh GOD; that IS scary!"
Knuckles covered his eyes with his hand as he tried to get the image out of his head.
"Ummm okay... Uh, Rouge; I don't think you should do that...Sonic already has enough fan girls... he doesn't need more"
Rouge puffed out her lip and crossed her arms.
"Fine! Go ahead! I don't care! Come on Cream, there are other people around who'll appreciate our services."
She turned on her heal and went to the door as Cream said goodbye, hurrying to catch up with her bat friend.
"See you guys in a bit!"
"Whooh! Thanks guys! That was a close one!"
The blue hedgehog plopped down on the couch and grinned up at his saviors.
"Hmph! I'm still pissed that we still have to wear these."
"I know... this stupid costume is suffocating me!"
"Aww~, sorry guys; tell yuh what; I'll make it up to yuh some time!"
"You sure as heck will! You go change or what ever; Tails and I will head out."
"Okay; and make sure you don't scare the kids on your way out, pumpkin head!"
Sonic's laughter filled the air as he dodged the spiked fist and ran to his room, slamming the door behind him.
Shadow stood against the wall of the Great hall, crossing his arms over his chest and looking sulky. What was the point of these social gatherings, he wondered? He scratched at the collar of his shirt, regretting having dressed up in the first place. But he probably couldn't have gotten away with it seeing as who he was with. He was glad for one thing though: his canines were large enough already, he didn't need fake teeth to complete the vampire costume. His eyes scanned over the crowd of students uninterestedly; all he really wanted right now was to go home and sleep.
"Oh come on Shadow; try and have some fun already!"
He turned to Amy in her sexy-nurse costume, and raised a brow.
"Easy for you to say; you actually LIKE these things."
"Shadow~, just give it a chance! Go and dance or talk to someone or something."
But Shadow refused to move from his spot on the wall.
As they argued they were barely able to notice everyone else.
Silver stared towards the two adults from across the room; or more specifically, the black hedgehog who was conversing with his aunt. He shifted his feet anxiously as his thoughts battled with each other, over his latest plan.
He could practically see miniature Silvers on his shoulders, yelling at him to follow each other.
'Don't do it Silver!' the small angel seemed to say, 'It's not going to work! You're just going to get in trouble!'
'Don't listen to him~; it's SURE to work! And he'll love you forever when it does~'
'Drugging people is wrong!'
'Not unless they notice.'
He bit his lip worriedly. It wasn't like he would be hurting anyone... besides Sonic maybe. At that note the pirate disguised hedgehog looked around one last time for the blue hero and gave out a sigh, straightened his back and marched over to the two older hedgehogs. This might be his only chance to be near the black hedgehog without Sonic around.
"Hello Aunt Amy, Professor Shadow."
Shadow gave Silver a nod as Amy said hello.
"Hey Silver! Nice costume!"
"Hee, thanks; Blaze helped me with it."
"Aww, that was sweet of her."
"Yup! So what's going on?"
"I'm trying to get Mr. Grumpy pants here to go and have some fun instead of acting so depressed."
She eyed the black hedgehog who merely frowned back to her.
"I am NOT acting depressed."
"Yes you are~"
"Am not!"
"Heh, maybe he'll feel better if he eats?' Silver offered.
On the wall adjacent was a long table laden with food.
"Great idea Silver!"
"I am NOT moving from this spot."
"Ugh! You are so impossible! How does Sonic deal with you."
Shadow gave a light smirk and almost annoyed Silver brought food back to his attention.
"Umm I can go get food; you like shrimp right Amy?"
"Ohhh~ that sounds good!"
"I'll just get a drink I suppose."
Shadow looked back to the crowd distractedly while Silver's face brightened excitedly;
"I'll get right on it!"
Silver walked over to the buffet table and looked over his shoulder once to make sure nobody was paying attention to him as he ladled some punch in a cup, and sneakily took out a small vial of white powder.
That was one of the perks in belonging to a magical family. Besides psychic abilities, his family also knew a lot about the different chemicals in potion making.
He looked down at the powder; it looked almost exactly like sugar; but as he'd learned from his grandmother, a small amount could influence the mind of the user. It wasn't complete mind control but, similarly to alcohol, it made it hard for the user to decide as they normally would. And it was with this powder that he would finally make Shadow fall for him!
With one last glance around he poured the powder in the cup in front of him, stirred the now tainted punch before moving to get a plate for Amy; giving the powder time to dissolve. After Shadow drank it, all he would have to do is wait for it to start working on his mind. He nearly skipped as he walked back over to the other hedgehogs, handing them their food.
"So, how is work going for you both?"
He tried to keep his patience as he engaged them in conversation, but for what felt like hours he waited and watched, obsessively monitoring if he would just drink the gosh-darned potion already!
Finally, he almost gave a cheer, as the black hedgehog slowly began to bring the cup closer to his mouth, completely unaware that Silver had spiked his drink. The waiting was horrible!
'Almost! Almost! Almost! Aww Come on! Drink it already!'
His mind was pleading for the moment he anticipated.
The cup was right at him lips!
An urge to dance for victory made it's way up his spine! But as the hedgehog in front of him took a single sip of the drugged punch, the smile that had almost formed on his muzzle died prematurely, as the person he was beginning to hate most in the world popped into his view and dashed his stillborn plan.
"Hiya guys, was sup~! Ooh~ punch!"
Sonic grinned at the other hedgehogs mischievously as he downed the rest of Shadow's drink, earning a frown from the black hedgehog.
"Hey! That was mine you blue buffoon!"
"Hee hee~, note the word WAS, Shadzy~"
"I've told you no to call me that."
"Hmm? What? Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. But what else is new. Aye! Silver! Nice costume; but where's your peg-leg and the parrot?"
Silver could barely speak; he was too busy trying to figure out what just happened.
"Silver? You don't look so good."
He mumbled some incoherent and Amy grabbed his arm as the silver hedgehog swayed on the spot, turning to the others.
"Oh boy; I better go take care of Silver. I'll be right back."
"Hmm, was it something I said?"
"Hmph. Probably." Shadow raised a brow as he looked at Sonic's get up. He looked more like a punked out teenager than anything else.
"You know, from all the complaining you made of it, one would have thought Rouge would have actually dressed you up."
"Oh she tried. But in the end she couldn't handle me, heh heh! The cuffs were cool though, so I kept those."
He gave Shadow a thumbs up to show off the chain-linked bracelets and Shadow's eyebrow receded further,
"And what, might I ask ,was she trying to dress you up as?"
"Uhhhh~ nothing~"
Again the eye ridge rose and Sonic began to look around for a distraction, and spotting Tail's and Knuckles in the crowd he jumped at the option.
"Oh hey! It's Tail's and Knuckles! Lets go~"
Shadow glanced over to Sonic's friends.
"Hmm. You go ahead; I'll wait around for Amy I guess."
"Wha? Why? You're not afraid to talk to them are yuh?"
The idea of Shadow of all people being scared of a couple of people like Tails and Knuckles was comical at the very least, but Shadow killed that idea quickly with a snort.
"Pfft! Of course not! I just don't feel like moving."
"Hmm~ if you say so!"
He ran off to join his friends; Rouge and Cream in their witches costumes catching up with them later, and as he looked back over his shoulder 30 minutes later he was puzzled by the mixed feelings he felt as he saw Shadow and Amy talking again animatedly.
Shadow looked up from Amy and scanned the crowd of students, as he did ever so often, his eyes lingering on his blue-furred boyfriend. There was something ...different about him today. He really couldn't put his finger on it at that moment. In the middle of the crowd Sonic too was noticing that something was off.
He couldn't tell if it was something bad... but he was getting strange feelings all over. When he looked around, everything looked... different. Maybe he had too much punch or something...
For the rest of the party, despite giving up drinking for the rest of the night, he found that the weird sensation was only getting worse. But he wasn't exactly concerned about it; as a matter of fact, he hadn't felt so pleasant in his life! Everything looked abnormally good, maybe there was alcohol in that punch.
"Hey Sonic, what's up with you?"
"Huh?"
Knuckles frowned down to the hedgehog.
"You were day dreaming; is everything all right?"
"Yea, everything's cool! Say, you don't think there's alcohol in the punch do you?"
"What? No.. I hope not; I've been drinking this stuff all night."
"Hmmm, maybe it was just my imagination..."
"Maybe... Hey; your little boyfriend looks happier than usual. What were you two doing last night? Huh? Huh?"
"Nothing! Shut up Knuckles!"
Laughing, Knuckles jumped out the way of Sonic's fist and disappeared into the crowd. For a moment Sonic pouted before looking over to Shadow and Amy. Somehow the world wasn't looking quite as wonderful as it did a second ago. But he shrugged it off; now that he knew it wasn't the punch, he had no reason to ignore the growing dryness in his throat, and he made his way over to punch bowl and he was surprised as he saw a familiar face.
"Claymore? Hey dude! Long time no see!"
With a squeak of fear that surprised Sonic, the green badger spun around to face him.
"O-o-oh, h-heh. Hi... S-sonic. W-what are you doing here?"
Sonic's eyebrow rose; Claymore was acting rather... twitchy. He kept on twiddling his fingers and his eyes were practically bouncing out his skull from the movement.
"Um... I don't know partying? Uhh.. Are you okay dude?"
"W-why yes! I'm, I'm fine! What made you think otherwise?"
Sonic scratched at his forehead very much confused, and a bit concerned; as scary as Halloween was suppose to be, this guy looked terrified.
"Um... okay... if you say so..."
Actually, if anything Claymore was becoming even more terrified as he stood there.
"Umm, are you sure you're alright?"
"What's going on here?"
Sonic looked over his shoulder and grinned at Shadow, oblivious to the cold look he was sending to the green badger.
"Hey Shadz, you remember Claymore?"
"Yes, I believe we've met before." Shadow replied coolly. Sonic turned to the badger, but as soon as he did Claymore spun around and ran, leaving Sonic even more confused.
"Heh. Wonder what THAT was all about."
"Was what?"
"That; the dude looked terrified about something..."
"As he should be." Shadow muttered.
"Huh?"
"Nothing Sonic, let's go."
Sonic shrugged as he followed the black hedgehog back to the others.
"You don't look so good Sonic."
Sonic looked up in surprise at the red echidna, almost blushing as he realized he'd been daydreaming again. And the content was rather inappropriate.
"Maybe you should go home and get some rest."
"I suppose I could look after him..." Shadow offered; Sonic caught something subtle in the way he said it, and he almost grinned.
Tails grinned up, unconsciously drawing closure to the cream-colored rabbit beside him.
"Thanks Shadow!"
Shadow nodded and the two hedgehogs said goodbye, walking out the doors into the cool October air. Besides the temperature and the wind, it was a nice night outside, but they were a bit too focused on other things to enjoy it.
Sonic slipped his hand into Shadows, their fingers intertwining as they walked through the double doors and down the sidewalk and gently he rapped his arm's around Shadow's waist, stopping in in the middle of the walkway.
"Shadow~ can I stay with you~?"
Shadow gave him a smirk, using his arms to pull the warm body closure.
"And why would you want to do that~?"
"Pleeease~?"
Shadow's face softened as Sonic snuggled against his chest. His fingers rubbed lightly at the small of his back as he gave Sonic a peck on the forehead.
"Why not: it's the weekend anyway."
"Hooray!"
The heat was unbearable. And yet... he wanted more. Shadow moved his hand down Sonic's back and stifled a moan; his own back was pressed against a wall of his hallway, and he pulled Sonic closure to his chest. His other hand was at the back of Sonic's head, pressing his face closure to his own. As their lips pressed and moved together, Shadow tried to ignore the way Sonic's fingers brushed against his chest as the other hedgehog unbuttoned his shirt. With a smirk he broke their lips apart, and opened his eyes slightly to meet Sonic's gaze.
"Mmm~, feeling naughty are we?"
At Sonic's blush Shadow gave a short chuckle before kissing him again. Sonic didn't fight it as Shadow's tongue made it's way into his mouth and his ears flattened as he felt Shadow's mouth turn into a smile against his lips. Shadow's eyes widened fractionally as Sonic's groin moved against his own. The contact was torturous.
His knuckles moved up and down his sides, sending sparks up Sonic' back, before moving down to stop at the blue hedgehog's backside. He smirked as Sonic moaned against his mouth from the contact. And Shadow moved his body forward, keeping his arms around the blue hedgehog as he guided Sonic backwards, through his bedroom door.
His shirt glided down his arms and to the floor as Sonic's back hit the mattress. His head bent down as he caught Sonic's lips with his own again. Something in his mind was telling him to stop; but a cloud of desire muddled his thinking.
One arm went behind Sonic's head, the other was free to roam. Shadow's fingers moved along Sonic's cheekbone, then his neck, and down his chest before moving under his shirt, pushing it up slowly as he traced circles along the peach colored stomach.
Sonic broke his lips away, gasping for air, and put his arms around Shadow's neck. Shadow glanced down at Sonic's exposed neck and smirked as he buried his face there, sending breaths of hot air against Sonic's fur.
"Shadow~"
Shadow's ears flattened, and he winced as a flash of desire was sent down his spine, and causing a reaction in his growing erection. He pressed himself closer to the hedgehog beneath him and sent a lick right at Sonic's collar bone. At Sonic's replying gasp he gave it another lick, and another jolt was sent down to his groin.
Sonic's fingers dug into Shadow's fur as the black hedgehog continued to nibble and lick at his neck, and when Shadow pulled away he frowned and opened his eyes sulkily. But then they widened as Shadow, his eyes glittering evilly, began to pull the t-shirt up further, slipping it over his head. He smirked down at the blue hedgehog, grabbing Sonic's wrists and moving them to each side of Sonic's head.
"S-shadow?"
"Shhh~"
He gave Sonic a peck on the lips,
"relax"
Sonic's ears flattened as he leaned back and relaxed his shoulders, but watched Shadow wearily out of half-closed eyes. Shadow rolled his eyes but smirked as he moved his face back to Sonic's neck, Sonic squirming from the pleasurable contact, but his kisses didn't stay at his neck. Slowly he began to kiss down from his neck, to his chest, and down to his stomach. Sonic gasped and squirmed. He was unused to these sensations that Shadow was causing him. But he wasn't quite sure if he dislike them. Somehow he found it very... appealing. Or at least the bulge in his pants said so.
Shadow smirked wickedly as he noticed the same lump at Sonic's loins. He almost laughed at the idea that came to him mind. He pressed his tongue against Sonic's stomach and up sent licks up to Sonic's chest, and then he began to go lower again. He looked up at Sonic's face and smirked as he caught his eye again. Sonic looked confused, unable tell what Shadow was planning, but then his face turned shocked as Shadow's hands moved from his wrists and down to the waist of his pants.
"Shadow..."
Shadow looked up in concern for a moment but smirked as Sonic squeezed his eyes shut. Seeing the bashful side of Sonic was still a novelty to him.
Slowly he continued to pull down the blue hedgehog's pants and he almost laughed as Sonic tried to hide his erection with his hands embarrassedly. He leaned an elbow on Sonic's knee and smirked down at the blue hedgehog.
"There's no need to be embarrassed~"
Sonic looked away, his face darkening and Shadow shook his head and leaned forward more, making room between Sonic's knees. He reached forward and took Sonic's face in his hands pulling his head closure, causing him to sit up; their faces centimeters away.
"Come here you,"
He pressed his lips against Sonic's, and as he moved his tongue to his mouth Sonic didn't even fight it this time. He moved his tongue around Sonic's mouth, bumping into the other's. As he teased Sonic with his tongue he grasped Sonic's hands in his own, and slowly, as if it weren't happening at all, he moved them to Sonic's sides, against the sheets. Then his moved a hand to cup Sonic's cheek, and tilted his head to deepen their kiss, pushing Sonic's head back on one of the fluffy pillows. Their breaths became more ragged the longer they laid there, until finally they broke their lips apart, gasping for air.
With a smirk Shadow leaned his head against his lover's shoulder, pinning him down subtly, and moved his hand down his body again, lower, lower, lower, until he was right at his lower stomach. He glanced up to Sonic's face once more, and his face softened as, shivering, Sonic gave a very slight nod.
Sonic's breath hitched as he felt Shadow's hand go around his throbbing erection. Softly but firmly it went up and down his shaft, a repetitive motion that was driving him crazy. His fingers flexed and moved against the tortured organ; he could almost feel all his blood pointing to that one direction. Shadow moved his lips against Sonic's neck as his hand stroked up and down the blue hedgehog's hard-on, Sonic squirming and moaning ecstatically.
"Shadow..."
Black ears twitched as Sonic murmured his name, and he took this as his cue as he began to move his mouth downwards again, repeating his actions from before, along with the rubbing of Sonic's manhood.
Sonic's eyes widened as Shadow's hand stopped, and his heart jumped to his mouth as he saw Shadow's face lower than it had been before. Sonic covered his face with his hand as Shadow sneered up at him and very slowly, deliberately, he shot a breath against the tip of his member, before giving it a slow experimental lick.
"Ah~"
Sonic squeezed his arms around himself as the wet pink muscle made contact with the sensitive flesh, and Shadow's smirked widened. Again he gave it another lick; He then began to move his tongue down and back up his shaft. Sonic's breath hitched and he squirmed at Shadow's teasing: it was almost unbearable. He looked up at Sonic's face as he continued to lick up against the throbbing erection one last time before he brought his mouth around the tip and slid the appendage further in his mouth.
He could feel Sonic's squirming becoming more erratic and his legs shaking on either side of him. He titled his head to the side and pushed Sonic's legs wider as he filled his mouth with Sonic's pulsating member. His head moved up and down slowly at first as he attempted to get both of them ready for this new experience. He'd never tried this before, and instinctively he didn't want to rush it and make some sort of mistake. But gradually as Sonic began to relax again he started to go faster, moving his head lower as he did. The faster he went, the more the younger hedgehog reacted; he clawed at the sheets under him as these new feelings began to overwhelm him.
"Ah~, Shadow~"
Shadow felt a new wave of pleasure flash throughout his body as Sonic called out his name so enticingly, and he went faster, instinctively knowing that Sonic was very close to his limit.
Sonic couldn't control himself any longer; if he had ever been in control. His legs buckled under an invisible pressure; his head moved to the side as he felt another intense wave a pleasure hit him, and suddenly his fingers had gone through Shadow's quills pulling his face lower down his shaft without even thinking about it right as he reached his climax.
Shadow's eyes widened in surprise as he felt the hands on his head, and his winced as he both felt and tasted the salty fluids splash against his tongue. He swallowed quickly and came up, gasping for air, his breathing in sync with Sonic's heavier ones. The blue hedgehog's face reddened and he shifted his eyes as their gazes met. There was an air of incompletion in the atmosphere; instinctively they knew that this was only a small pause. Shadow's eyes softened as he looked down at Sonic, and he leaned forward, laying over the blue hedgehog, nuzzling his neck.
"Sonic?"
Sonic looked down into the black hedgehog's face and as his lips pressed against his own he readily obliged. Sonic was the one who broke it this time. His face turned red and he couldn't make eye contact.
"Shadow, is there more?"
Shadow gave a slight chuckle and nuzzled against Sonic's neck affectionately.
"Hmmm there can be... if you wanted, that is..."
Sonic moaned and he drew himself closer to Shadow, hiding his face from view bashfully.
"Yes, please Shadow~?"
"Only if you're sure Sonic..."
"I am" Came his murmur, muffled by Shadow's chest fur.
Wordlessly Shadow brought his lips to Sonic's; they laid there lip locking as he let his pants slide down his legs and kicked them off. He was still just as hard as he'd been earlier. He pulled he and his lover into sitting position, Sonics legs going around his waist, and moaning behind the kiss as Sonic's girth slid against his own. Sonic felt the sensation also and his eyes widened fractionally before clenching even tighter in pleasure. Shadow held his back up, and slid his hands up and down Sonic's back, aware of the sensual sparks being sent up the blue hedgehog' s back. While one hand continued to message Sonic's upper back, the other went to his backside, as he pressed Sonic harder against himself, thrusting his hips up as he grinded his boner against Sonic's.
Sonic's gasping encouraged him further; their hands intertwined as they moved against each other, and quickly Sonic was horny again.
Shadow broke the kiss once more and began to suck on his fingers, never ceasing in grinding against his blue lover, and after a moment he brought his hand back down to Sonic's backside, his forefinger touching at the small hole experimentally. Sonic gasped and he twitched uncomfortably at the weird feeling it gave him and Shadow pushed the digit against the hole once more as Sonic squirmed against him. He pulled Sonic's face closure with his other hand to distract him from the uncomfortable sensation, and his finger entered Sonic's hole. He could feel Sonic's breath hitch as it moved around against the walls, stretching the opening as gently as possible. He moved it deeper in and then out, noting with satisfaction how Sonic was trying to control to urge to move. His cooperation was appreciated. He waited a while after massaging the hole, and after he was sure Sonic could handle it before adding his other finger.
"Ah..."
Sonic twisted in his lap, unable to control himself for the immense discomfort; Shadow moved his other hand and played with the blue hedgehog's tail comfortingly as Sonic began to get used to the feel of his fingers inside him. It was the change in his voice that told him when Sonic was ready, when his gasping became less sharp.
Slowly he lowered his blue lover down on his back, and he tilted his head worriedly;
"Are you sure you're ready for this?"
His voice was barely more than a whisper in between gasps, but Sonic picked up every word. He nodded and relaxed his arms, mentally preparing himself: from he'd heard, this type of thing was very painful...
Shadow took hold of Sonic's legs, pushing them up and spreading them as he put the tip of his member at Sonic's entrance, and with one last comforting glance at the hedgehog in front of him, he began to push it forward. Sonic's eyes widened and he bit his finger to keep from shouting in pain as Shadow's sizable manhood entered his most sensitive area; the reflex tears pushing to his eyes humiliatingly. Shadow bend down and kissed him, pushing his tongue into his mouth as he stopped the movements of his hips, giving Sonic time to get ready. Part of him wanted to continue as he felt the enticing feeling of Sonic's walls clenching around his girth, he refrained and instead sent his energies to comforting his lover.
Sonic held on to the black hedgehog's arms as if to say he was ready and Shadow continued, moving his hips back to bring his hard-on partly out, only to push back in again slowly. He brought it out again and pushed back, but this time instead of receiving a look of pain, Sonic moaned as he began to feel waves of pleasure as the pain subsided.
He pushed in a few more times just to be sure, and finally his movements now became steadier, transitioning from pushes into softer thrusts.
Sonic's finger dug into the sheets as he felt Shadow move inside him, again and again: he could now feel something in himself building up again, waiting for sweet release. He opened his eyes as the thrusts went faster, pushing deeper into him, and he moaned at the fluttery sensation. Shadow continued his thrusts, receiving a pleasant surprise as the blue hedgehog beneath him moved his hips forward to meet his penetrations: moving faster and deeper inside him. He could tell his climax was nearing and he could have sworn he almost went over the edge as Sonic's fingers dug themselves in his fur and bit at his neck; sending shivers down his spine. So that's what it felt like.
He squeezed his body closure to the hedgehog's under him and finally with one final thrust into his lover, he felt the clenching of Sonic's walls around him and their backs arched as they went over the edge into wonderful oblivion...
Shadow fell on his stomach next to the blue hedgehog, both panting from exertion as they looked at each other. His face softened as Sonic rolled over and curled up next to him and they laid there watching each other breathing until they fell asleep.
