After all that’s happened, Shadow had found this human world complicated, pathetic, and senseless. He hasn’t once grown used to any of the norms and not just that but the family he’d been accepted into seemed to only make him grow more uncomfortable with holding connections.
Despite all he’s been through and what he’s put the family into, he was ashamed to even stay. It was rare shadow lasted 5 minutes into the home. He couldn’t dare step foot into the house without feeling unwelcome.
But today was different, today he had no choice. It wasn’t unusual for his chaos emerald to act up but for some odd reason, each time he tried to control - the emerald would end up only teleporting him to the Wachowski house.
At first he’d teleport in the living room, no one would be around but he heard a distinct noise coming from the attic. Once he tried again, he ended up in the bathroom where he saw the scattered hair gel products. All of them empty and crunched into the shape of a fist, implying whoever used them was desperately trying to squeeze every drop. For the third time, he somehow ended up in the attic. It was filled with comic books, posters, and a cozy environment for one.
The hedgehog slowly approached towards the bed where he saw the race shaped boards. Without time to think, the blue blur suddenly appeared from behind and made a playful boo sound to make shadow turn and face him.
“Ha! Alright one question for you, what’s got you sneaking in my room like a stalker, and twooo what’s up with you acting so nonchalant? You’re in my bedroom.”
Shadow gave an annoyed scoff, smacking sonics hand away from him. "I want nothing more then to be out of here. the chaos emerald keeps teleporting me to this idiotic place.” Shadow insulted. Sonic rubbed his hand, unimpressed by his reaction. “Oh come on, take it as a sign to actually get to know the place.”
Sonic rolled his eyes in a playful smile as he made his way towards the messy comic pile. “Hate to say it but you came at a bad time. After all, the whole family bedsides me is out. I wasn’t allowed to come after being grounded for causing the smoke alarm to go off.” Sonic spoke through his gritted teeth, the scene replaying in his mind. Yet his actions seemed to speak for themselves. “Tch, being grounded for causing a house fire?”
“I knowww right? Like please, it can’t be as serious.” Sonic mocked in annoyance, facing shadow for sympathy. “No. It’s foolish, you’re just stupid for thinking I was going that direction,” the ultimate life form only insulted but he’d make his way over to the corner of sonics room, contemplating on how he’d fix this uncontrollable situation. Sonic would notice shadows shift towards the corner of his room, making him place his comic back down to approach the company. “So you’re actually gonna stay?”
Shadow quickly returned a glare, signaling his disapproval.
“Yeah.. whatever.” Sonic shrugged before sitting down in front of shadow right on the wooden floor. “Come on, we’ve been through a lot together. Don’t act like you don’t know me.” Sonic gave an annoyed look back but shadow ultimately gave nothing but unrequited empathy. “That’s because I wish I didn’t.”
The cold response left sonic speechless for a couple seconds but shadows stay was enough to single he wasn’t leaving either… after all, he didn’t need that emerald to walk out the attic and leave completely. Sonic puckered his lips, whistling quietly to think of something to say. “Anyhoo, you’re not the best company either. I mean come on… you’re like a cat.
You only come up to people when you want attention.”
Shadow pinched his brows, giving sonic a disappointed look. “listen closely, I’m not here to listen to your pathetic remarks!” Shadow paused before he leaned back, crossing his arms and legs to get comfortable. “I just need a quiet place to think…”
With that said, sonic gave a slight smile from his honesty and calmer tone (despite it being bitter.)
“Well fine, after all you are welcome here, let me know if you need anything.” Sonic shrugged. “I’m gonna get a snack but you didn’t see a thing okay? I’m not supposed to leave this room.” Sonic smacked his lips, getting up and making his way to the attic door. “See ya.” With one last goodbye, shadow reminisced to himself. He’d peak one eye once sonic left, giving him the chance to finally observe the hedgehogs room.
——————
Sonic was doing way more than eat, he ended up gelling his spikes more, playing the console, and even messing around with Ozzie. Shadow heard all of the ruckus but he didn’t dare Interrupt, in fact he kept to himself and looked around the room slightly.
It wasn’t anything like Marias… or the faint memory he had left of it anyway. Sonic was messy and enjoyed niche hero interest as Maria was well kept and enjoyed astrology, a beautiful research that kept her educated.
The idea soothed shadow and encouraged him to look further. At first shadow looked at some comics, his messy drawers and finally his closet. It wasn’t filled with clothes but it wasn’t empty either. The closet was not only filled with more junk (most likely from times he was forced to clean his room) but a black box caught shadows eyes.
He bent down and took a look, pulling away the book on top of it and examining the rather small box. He rubbed his thumb across the slightly dusty cover before opening the lid and seeing the variety of different packets. Shadow gave a raised look, confused to what this could be.
He’d sit the box down after pulling out the small package and examining the circled outline. Just in time, sonic climbed back up in his room, yapping to himself about all the fun he had but felt his heart sink when he saw shadow in the closet. “Nonononhey! No one! And I mean no one looks in the closet!” Sonic quickly pulled himself up, slightly stumbling but ultimately shutting the closet door in front of shadow quickly to avoid anymore examination. “What are you hiding hedgehog?”
Shadow glared, the small packaging hid under his knee. “because—! It’s none of your business!” Sonic let out a relived sigh, thinking shadow didn’t seem anything but once shadow stood up, he lifted the condom in front of sonic, signaling his finding.
The packaging made sonic shriek. “What is this? What are you hiding?” Shadow demanded a response but sonics awkward response only made it harder for sonic to reply. “Well you see— Tom and Maddie say I need to be safe.”
“Safe about what? You obviously wouldn’t keep it in such an ominous spot if it wasn’t important.” Shadow shook the packaging slightly, making sonic chuckle. “Important indeed..”
“Be serious with me hedgehog.” Shadow wanted answers but sonic only took the packet from shadow and examined it. “I haven’t even looked at it myself… I mean, I was told when the day came I’ll need them for good reasons. But each time Tom or Maddie tried to inform about all that, I never could last 5 seconds without feeling uncomfortable.”
Shadow gave a conflicted look, unaware of what he was implying. “sonic, are you seriously telling me you can’t handle a simple talk through about sex?” With a shocked look, sonic quickly defended himself. “Excuse me? I’m just fine talking about it! It’s just different with humans and hedgehogs. You would know that come on-!”
Shadow shook his head in disagreement. “I wouldn’t, I don’t experience filthy behavior.” Sonics eyes, half lidded from annoyance by that response alone. “Don’t be serious and tell me you haven’t once thought of it?”
Shadow shook his head in response, dismissing the idea. “I’m the ultimate life form, not a puberty, thumb sucking hedgehog.”
Shadow insulted. Sonic was greatly offended and pouting slightly as he snatched open the condoms packaging. “You’re lying to me, you’re saying not even once?”
Shadow was slightly intimidated by sonics sudden urge to prove some type of point, making him take a step back, “I’m not saying I want to either.”
Shadow thought for a second, gritting his teeth slightly as sonic bit off his gloves, dropping them from his teeth to the ground. “I haven’t once actually looked at it before.. I am a bit curious.” Sonic admitted as he used his bare hands to now hold the condom and remove it from the lubed packaging. Shadow watched rather closely but tried to stop himself from getting too curious.
Sonic slightly stretched the rubber, feeling the icky texture lace his finger tips with lube. “Eughh.. it feels disgusting..” Sonic furrowed his brows from the feeling yet shadow seemed completely out of it and unphased by the fact his rival was literally playing with a condom in front of him. “Don’t make it awkward for me.” Sonic begged as he approached shadow slightly who seemed to finally make eye contact with him and his childish behavior.
“Why would I pay attention to your stupid behavior?” Shadow insulted but through his words, sonic sensed a change in his demeanor. He felt his own brain calculate shadows sudden hitch and his scent growing more intense.
For some odd reason, sonic felt a pull, an unshakable sensation that made his mind race from the sudden urge to move closer to shadows aura, “I was only curious..”
shadow shook his head as he continued to move backwards, noticing how sonic only seemed to grow closer towards him making his heart race with an unshakable feeling of excitement and fear.
“What are you doing—?”
Sonic paused, his eyes lingering down to the sight of the condom and back up at shadow.
“You’re lying to me shadow, this can’t be your first time.”
Shadow spoke with guilt, exposing his pitiful lies. “Why do you care anyway? It isn’t your business..”
Sonic gave a scoffed smirk as he pressed his knee against the pouch of shadows interior. “You’re bad at lying, and even worse at acting.” With the tense silence and shared heavy breaths. The two of them finally let the intensity go and instead leaned into each others lips, soaking in the taste of hate fill their mouths with shame.
The pitiful flavor of defeat but the glorious victory of being caught. Sonic turned his head, angling shadow to enter his mouth from a different direction to allow him to explore him freely. With the blues free hand, he took the condom he held prepared and began to tease at shadows pouch, begging for the ultimate life form to let him in.
It didn’t take long before shadow gave in the touch and allowed sonic to grasp his pink cock. Shadows breathing hitched, making him hesitate slightly but sonics slight reassuring touch allowed the condom to ease down much easier. “Agh- hey— what are you thinking?” Shadow questioned through the broken kiss. In response, sonic gave a sexually frustrated groan. “You don’t have to speak.. please.. I don’t want to hear your voice.”
Sonic whispered as he lifted his leg through the process. Shadow felt his leg trail up to his hips, a signal for shadow to suddenly lift sonic up and hold up the blue blur effortlessly. That alone made shadows body tingle, his freehand from below sonics thigh guided his pink dick towards his tight entrance.
The feeling alone made shadow growl, causing him to press sonic against the closet door. The cold wall made sonics quills shiver but he shivered more from shadows teasing to enter his heat. The act alone was making sonics own cock expose from the small pouch that exposed his guilty pleasure. Shadow growled in an anomalistic voice, suddenly biting down in the corner of sonics neck.
The sudden sharp fangs mixed with the sinking feeling of a cock sliding inside made sonic whimper in a pathetic whine. “Come on- deeper..~” Sonic begged in disbelief from his own words. Shadow didn’t shy away at all from a sudden force to drag sonic down more against his hard shaft, keeping a steady rhythm but a consistent speed to keep sonic satisfied enough.
Sonics claws tangled in the black fur of shadows back, his eyes slightly rolling back from the wet cock stretching and enveloping him with pleasure. “Agahh hah-~” shadow moaned in his cracked voice, his eyes slightly closed but his gaze not once leaving sonics. The sight of that pathetic hedgehog being put in his place by his own cock grew something inside his stomach that curled like a pit.
The constant friction against his walls made sonic only cry. As if he needed nothing more than his filthy cock to please him. Shadows forehead pressed against sonics chest, his groaning becoming skipped the more he slammed that hedgehogs back against the wall from his consistent thrusts.
The more the hedgehog kept a steady pace, his eyes closed and enjoyed his last thrust before finally biting down in order to mark sonic, to make him remember their nasty behavior. Sonics eyes tightened from the pain coming from not just his chest but the build up of cum that strung from his tip, landing against not just his but shadows fur as well.
The sticky fluid tangled against their sweaty fur but shadows wasn’t done just yet, with his fangs digging deeper in sonics fur so did his final few thrust that ended up releasing inside the condom. “Good boy..~” Sonic whispered in a satisfied pant, running his hands up to shadows quills and easing him to calm down despite the uncomfortable feeling of the hot load sitting in the condom. Instead of the comforting feeling sonic felt, he was suddenly let go slowly to sit down against the wall.
“Heyy- you can’t just leave me like that. Not after that..!” Sonic urged as he looked down at the sight of his own mixed fluids. “it’s not that, it’s just..” shadow paused as he flinched slightly from removing the filled condom off his cock and instead into his fingertips. “You’re grounded.” Shadow smirked for once, handing sonic the used condom.
A sense of disgust left sonics face as he looked at the condom. “Eughh-! Heyyy!” Before sonic could complain, shadow teleported out of sonics sight. But it seemed now, his chaos control was working just fine.
