Not What They Seem

Ep 37

(PoV: 3rd Person)

  Sonic broke into tears seeing his uncle in his own living room. He ran beyond the speed of sound and hugged his metal uncle tightly, ignoring the tears soaking his muzzle.

"You guys were in the yard the whole time?" Amy asked annoyed.

"So what if we were. You allowed intruders into our home," Shadow growled.

"Sonic? What's with the... um... girly attire?" Sally asked, interrupting his hug with Chuck.

"..." I like it. What suddenly brings you to my house? Sonic didn't bother speaking. He knew none of them would understand him.

"He enjoys it," Shadow answered for him, sitting between Sonic and Tails, "who might you be?"

"Sally Acorn," Sally introduced herself.

"Bunny, nice to meetcha! How do you know Sugarhog?" Bunny asked.

"He's his rival," Amy said keeping Shadow from answering, "So Sally how have you been?"

"Didn't we just have this conversation?" Sally asked.

"But Sonic didn't hear it," Amy added.

  Ignoring their conversation, Sonic changed his reuniting hug with Chuck to a comforting one from Shadow. How am I supposed to communicate? I can hardly speak right now. And they'll keep asking me to repeat things which is just as difficult as talking... Shadow interrupted Sonic's thoughts with and small kiss, one that no one saw.

"Calm down, your Uncle Chuck can help you now," Shadow said calming his panicking partner, "Chuck," Shadow spoke up catching the metal hedgehog's attention, "we'd like to discuss something with you, alone."

"I had the same I'd like to say to you. Is there another room we could use?" He asked standing up.

"Indeed," Shadow replied, pick up Sonic bridle style. His favorite way to hold his embarrassed, sapphire lover.

(PoV: Shadow)

  I placed Sonic down gently. He sat comfortably on our bed and Chuck opened a bag he brought up with him.

"Soni boy, I'd like you to tell me about your day," Chuck's request instantly made Sonic nervous. He was biting his thumb's nail, "Soni, it's just so I can help you," Chuck pushed Sonic's hand down from his mouth.

"-ent... unning," Sonic started, his cheeks painted pink with embarrassment, "-ith... Sh..Sh-a~dow..."

"Hmm... Shadow, that's you correct?" Chuck looked at me and I nodded, "how long has this gone on?"

"It's only been a few days this time, the first time he couldn't speak at all. It lasted a few months," I sat down next to Lapis, his head resting on my shoulder.

"It's happened twice?" Chuck asked, "what caused the first session?"

"He was captured, when I found him the were injecting a green serum into his stomach," I answered, rubbing behind Sonic's ears too keep him calm.

"They forced him to develop early," Chuck sighed, "this is nothing to worry about. Sonic's voice will return in a few days. He body just has so much changed that he might tend to lose his speech every once in a while. The forced change merely made it more common."

"You hear that Lapis? You're perfectly fine," I scratched behind his ear, he purred in response.

"Well I'll be damned," Chuck chuckled, "Shadow, I'll be taking you out tonight. I need to see exactly how worthy you are of my nephew."

  I looked at Sonic who looked nervous again. He was biting his nails, I never knew he had that habit.

"Sonic stop that, it's not good for you," I pulled his hand away from his mouth, "especially with your gloves on."

  Lapis just shunned and snuggled against me. In a few days, he'll be talking again, I can hear that adorable voice of his. I nusseled him as Chuck left us alone. We were alone, I took advantage of that. I laid Sonic back down against the bed, kissing him softly. Once his arms wrapped around my neck I knew this wouldn't slow down any time soon. He allowed me to trace his perfect body with my fingertips. His giggling was the only thing that broke out kiss. His emerald eyes never ceased to amaze me, how the never seemed to dull or fade. I kissed his cheek, making the emerald eye on the same side close. Making him giggle again.

"Love... -ou... Shadow," he said my name perfectly, I longed to hear any word escape those lips.

"I love to, Little Lapis," I kissed his neck after saying the nickname I gave him.

"Um... a Sonic, everyone tiz a vaiting for you," that French accented bastard just had to interrupt us.

"We'll be down in a few hours! Go play outside or something," I growled.

  Sonic broke out laughing under me.

"Oh is that funny Sapphire? How about this?" I tickled his sides, he began squirming as laughter became his only way of communication.

"Sonic hurry up and get downstairs! You have guests!" That was Amy's voice.

  I repeated myself and switched my attention back to my Little Lapis under me.

"Sonic The Hedgehog!" Our door was broken in. The pink brat being the source, "Shadow you can't just take him, he has guests downstairs."

"All they'll be going is asking him questions he can't answer. There's no point. Go answer the questions yourself-" I was cut off by the sound of glass shattering, "what the-? Lapis!"

  Metal Sonic was holding him, Sonic squirming in his grip.

"Sonic!" The French-speaking moron ran down the stairs.

  I didn't think twice, I jumped out after them, grabbing onto Metal's leg. The tree of us landed in the flower patch outside of our house. Sonic kicked metal away and I pulled him colder to me.

(PoV: 3rd Person)

  Sonic was being held tight in Shadow's lap. His legs also wrapped around Sonic's slim figure on a protective manner. Metal scanned and annualized the situation, then signaled Eggman.

"Shadow! What's going on?" Tails ran out with everyone following him, "Metal."

"Dude how many times do we have to destroy you for you to stop coming back?" Knuckles mocked.

"Silver, get Sonic in the house and protect him," Shadow ordered hand Sonic off.

"Got it, let's go Sonic," Silver took Sonics hand and they both ran back into the house.

  Sonic looked back at the battle, more robots appearing and seeing Eggman in the sky was no problem. It was Metal who worried him, and Metal knew that.

Muwahahah!

Wonderful reunion, as a sudden test is to be awaited by Chuck, now a classic Eggman attack. What will happen?

  You'll have to wait for my next update.
