Mighty x Espio Story: Garden Fate (OLD AND CRINGY, BUT SOMEHOW LOVED) Completed

Chapter 15: Move Out!

A few hours later Mighty came back with Ray. "Silver, are you here?" Mighty called. Upon entering the living room the armadillo noticed the material on the middle cushion on one of the couches was torn. There was also a small drop of red on said sofa. "What the heck happened?" Ray asked. Mighty was as confused as he was.

Then they heard someone coming down the stairs. It was Silver. "Silver, what happened to this sofa?" Mighty asked him. "Jack came by and raped Espio again." Silver replied. Mighty's eyes widened in shock. "Oh no, again?" Ray asked. "He had him laying on this sofa. His spikes must've torn at it.

He's upstairs in his room. I've tried my best to calm him down, but he won't stop crying. I think he needs your comfort, Mighty." amber eye said. Almost unconsciously, Mighty hurried up the stairs to Espio's room. The chameleon sat at the edge of his bed as he let his tears flow like never before. Loud sobbing filled the room.

He turned his attention to the door when he saw Mighty enter. "M-Mighty...?" he whimpered upon seeing him. Mighty ran over and hugged his boyfriend tightly. The two stayed like this for awhile until Espio finally stopped sobbing. They broke the hug and Espio looked up at his boyfriend.

"H-he just... I didn't know it was him." Espio tried to explain. "Shh. It's alright now." Mighty said as he sat beside him. "It's not your fault." the shelled mammal told him. He put his arm around Espio and the latter leaned on his shoulder. Mighty couldn't imagine the things his boyfriend must've gone through.

Thinking about Jack infuriated him. If there weren't laws against killing he'd rip that jerk's head off. Jack must've sneaked up during the time Espio was alone. After Mighty left and before Silver came. That slime ball. The armadillo wanted to hurt him so bad.

But before releasing all his rage on Jack, he needed to take care of Espio first. Mighty stood up and had the reptile lay down in the bed. He could see a redness on his skin near the base of his horn. "You should rest for now." Mighty suggested. "Could you please stay? At least until I fall asleep?" Espio asked as he held onto Mighty's arm like someone was gonna take him away.

"Sure." ebony replied before getting in bed with his boyfriend, laying on his back. Espio laid his head on Mighty's chest and nuzzled him for comfort. Mighty put both his arms around the chameleon and relaxed. Silver came in to check on them at some point, only for Mighty to tell him to be quiet and that he'd be down soon.

Eventually, the armadillo realized his boyfriend's breathing became slow and steady. Very carefully he scooted from under Espio and pulled the blanket over him. He gave him a kiss on the forehead and left the room. Silver and Ray were still in the living room, and Silver looked troubled.

"I don't think Jack's done, Mighty. He might come back." he said. "Ugh! That stupid waste of space!" Mighty nearly shouted as he pounded his fist on a nearby table. "I'm dropping outta school completely. I can't leave Espio alone anymore. Not even for an hour." he said.

"Maybe I could keep an eye on him. That way you're not alone." Silver suggested. "I appreciate it, buddy. But what would you do if Jack brought the rest of his gang?" blue eye asked. "Then I'll just have to shove my boot up their donkey holes, that's all." Silver replied.

Mighty chuckled a little at his friend's fearlessness. Though he still couldn't believe Jack would go this low. He knew him as a bully not a rapist. He wondered if the rest of his gang knew about this. Sally, Greg and Larry haven't seemed to notice now that Mighty actually thought about it.

Mighty sighed a bit in frustration. He didn't understand why Jack was so lustful all of a sudden. Was he really that desperate to claim Espio's body for himself? That dark chameleon was probably more capable of harming anyone than Mighty thought.
