So Much More It was always the same. Every day, Tails was being abused, one way or another. His primary abuser, his once best friend, Sonic, who now delighted in tying the younger fox up and making him watch as he had wild sex with various girls. Cream, Fiona, Cosmo, anyone Tails had ever so much as looked at was all too GLAD to take Sonic's dick in front of him, to mock him and break his heart. Today it was Zooey. It was Zooey more often than most. That vixen was an absolute bitch. All Tails could do was sob and watch as Sonic had her bent on her hands and knees, right out in public, pounding into her pussy deeply. Nobody cared. Anyone who did care only seemed to get off on Tails' pain. The fox was at the end of his rope, and was just about ready to end it all the next time he was left alone... This was a situation that 2BIT had been aware of during his time watching over countless dimensions. But this particular dimension had been out of the blue fox's jurisdiction, so he had no choice but to try and ignore it. Just let it happen. No more. Now that BIT Squad was disbanded and its members were searching the multiverse for new homes... 2BIT would act! So, while Tails felt tears well up in his eyes to the point where he could hardly watch Sonic fuck his one-time crush anymore, 2BIT marched over. Sonic was so absorbed in his lustful work that he didn't notice until 2BIT yanked his little tail. "Um, owww... What the fuck you want, dweeb? Another fox douche who doesn't know a real man when he sees it?" Sonic growled. Tails looked up nervously when he heard the commotion. 2BIT didn't say anything, he merely gave Sonic a good left hook across the jaw, making him stumble over Zooey's lust-limp body. That pissed Sonic off, of course, so he pulled out of Zooey and faced the blue fox. "Who do you think you are? Some sorta white knight? Here's what I think of you beta males!" he growled, acting with blinding speed before 2BIT could react! Sonic dashed back and forth past him, landing punches and kicks on him viciously as 2BIT groaned in pain! The blue fox was left down on his knees in a heap, and then Sonic lifted Zooey into his arms and laughed. "This spot's lost its charm! Let's go, babe!" he smirked. "Whatever you say, stud..." the bimbo vixen responded. 2BIT groaned and glanced at Tails. "I-I'm sorry... Someone should have stood up for you sooner..." he panted, wincing in pain. Tails stepped to the other fox's side and slung his arm around his shoulder. He'd gotten used to untying himself with his tails after Sonic was gone. "C'mon, you don't want to sit here like that. Can you walk?" he asked. 2BIT nodded, blushing softly as Tails began to lead him towards his fairly close by workshop. They were both walking a bit slowly. "Why is he so cruel to you? What did you do to him?" 2BIT asked, "Not to imply there's any justification." Tails glanced at 2BIT and sighed. "Everyone treats me this way. They used to be my friends...I don't know what happened. Once I got old enough for sex they just..." his voice trailed off and his eyes teared up a little. 2BIT finished his thought. "...they treat you like you don't deserve love." he said. Tails held the other fox closer as they walked. "Unless they want to stick their c-cocks in m-me..." he said shakily, tearing up a bit more. 2BIT hadn't been following the situation too closely since he couldn't do anything about it. He had no idea Tails was getting raped, too. "Let me guess... They don't ever let you penetrate..." he stated. Tails stopped at his door. "No... Even the girls get to penetrate me instead..." he whimpered, tears starting to flow down his cheeks. What even was this world? How could everyone treat Tails this way in any reality? 2BIT tightened his hold around Tails' shoulders, hugging him. He would gladly take the other fox's dick, but... would that solve anything? Not really. Tails needed his confidence built up again. And he needed a way to safely confront his tormenter, something 2BIT wasn't even able to do since he had no powers here. "Oh... my name is 2BIT..." the blue fox stated bashfully, still hugging him gently. After a moment of embracing, the pair entered the workshop. 2BIT sat down on the couch in the home area of the workshop. Tails rested his hands on his shoulders, looking down at him, but not making eye contact. "So... Now that we're here... Do you want to start right away, or do you want to rest first?" he asked. 2BIT cocked his head. He couldn't figure out what Tails meant at first. Then he watched the other fox bring his hands to his sides and run them down his body, accenting his somewhat feminine figure as those hands approached his butt... 2BIT's eyes widened and he blushed heavily. "T-tails, you don't need to do anything. Your friends have abused, bullied and taken advantage of you. I won't do the same." he stammered. Tails backed up a step, holding his hands behind his back, never making eye contact. "You will. Everyone does. I-I'd rather you start now, when you're like this and...maybe you'll go easy on me..." he sniffled. 2BIT clutched his heart. That was so crushing to hear. This was nothing like the versions of Tails he knew, yet very like them, if their spirits were shattered. He felt tears coming to his own eyes. "I'm just here to rest from my injuries, I will not touch you... You have my promise." he said, trying not to break down. Tails' ears folded. He tapped his main fingers together, looking anxious. "If you don't assert yourself, you might end up like me. I-I can't let that happen. No, please, I... I'll do all the work. If we show that you're an alpha like the others, maybe Sonic...won't claim you..." he whimpered before throwing himself on 2BIT's lap, reaching down for his crotch only to be blocked by 2BIT crossing his legs. "I've already done my share of topping in my life, Tails! I-if you feel this strongly that we should hook up... Th-then you should fuck me!" he blurted. Both foxes were blushing deeply. Their muzzles were quite close. They could feel heat from one another. However, listening to 2BIT's words, Tails rolled off him, sitting beside him on the couch instead. He twirled one of his tails in his hand. "Wh-what am I doing?" he huffed, ears drooping with shame. 2BIT placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'll help you." he vowed, "You will be whole again..." There was silence for a bit, and soon Tails left to tinker in his workshop. His will was oddly strong, 2BIT thought, to still keep up working on his passions even in a world where he was such a social outcast. But 2BIT didn't follow him; rather he sat on that sofa, considering how best to help Tails. His confidence needed building, and it seemed to 2BIT that staying in this world, with people constantly undermining said confidence, would only lead to failure. But the idea of taking Tails away from here...did he have the right? It would be like going to another country to take a child away from what you deem as unfit parents, in a sense. Only potentially more selfish, given 2BIT's personal feelings. He rubbed his chin, thinking it over. "Well... If he doesn't want to go with me I could try to help him from here, but this world itself seems stacked against his happiness..." he mused. His thoughts turned to how willing Tails was to throw himself on him... though not willing to top, apparently. He hated himself for thinking it, but he yearned to let him do it. To let Tails give his body to him... The blue fox shook his head hard as he thought about this, and crossed his arms. "Tails probably isn't even gay. Sonic's just got him trained. Well, once his confidence is built up, I'll help him find a mate that loves him like...like I do..." He stood up with conviction. Ever since disbanding BIT Squad, the blue fox had been without purpose. This would be his new mission. There was one major problem, though. "...I'm no therapist, I have no idea what would be an effective way to help him..." he realized. A minor inconvenience. 2BIT walked into the workshop planning to discuss bringing Tails to a new world, safe from his abusers. He was a bit disheartened to find that there really weren't any completed inventions in the workshop, just partially constructed gizmos and what was clearly his biplane under a tarp. Tails himself wasn't actually working on anything, but having himself a good cry in the corner, hugging his knees. 2BIT hesitated at this sight, but walked over and knelt beside him, resisting the urge to pull him into a hug because he'd promised not to touch the other fox. "I'm getting you out of here, Tails..." he said softly. Tails glanced at him with nervous, tearful eyes. "What?" he squeaked. 2BIT looked back at him sympathetically. "I'm going to take you far away, where Sonic and the others can't find you and hurt you anymore. What do you think?" he asked. Tails hugged his knees tighter and seemed like he was trying to hide his face behind them. "W-will you promise to always be gentle with me?" he whimpered. 2BIT frowned and casually hugged his own knees to mimic Tails. "I'm not going to rape you, Tails. I want to save you. I only wish I had been here sooner..." he said sadly. Tails loosened his grip on his knees, his bright blue eyes gazing at the other fox with increasingly less fear. "But, why?" he asked. 2BIT blushed softly. That was difficult to explain. His eyes met Tails' and he smiled. "Because... I believe in you." he whispered. That wasn't the most convincing answer he could have given to that particular question, but it was a phrase Tails had never heard anyone say to him before. The twin-tailed fox suddenly hugged 2BIT, nuzzling him gently. "Thank you..." he sniffled, crying softly. Still, 2BIT couldn't take him anywhere right that moment. He'd have to decide on where exactly to go, and he'd need to contact his old squad mate Blocky to transport them out of this dimension. For the night, they'd be staying at the workshop. 2BIT intended to sleep on the sofa...but he couldn't sleep there. He was too worried about Tails. He'd never seen any version of the fox boy so fragile, so broken. He worried about leaving him alone. But when he peeked into Tails' room, he heard the shower running in the adjoining bathroom. Blushing, he decided to sit on the bed and wait. "I just want to be close by for his sake. Nothing sexual here..." he said to himself, biting his lip as the thought of Tails in the shower started getting him aroused. It might be a good idea to get that out of his system before Tails came out, he thought, so he began to rub his crotch slowly. Within the bathroom, Tails was running his soapy hands over his furry body absentmindedly, turning over the day's events in his mind. The last time anyone cared about him was when he and Sonic were young, and Sonic used to protect him from bullying. For the first time since Sonic changed, someone had come along and protected him. Planned to help him. He blushed, thinking about how 2BIT talked about him. "I believe in you..." The blue fox's voice rang in his memory. Just a little kindness was all it took. It was raising his spirits rapidly, and in his excitement... Tails popped a boner. He blushed deeper, taking his needy, essentially virgin cock into his hands, and slowly began to stroke himself, thinking of the sweet smile and sapphire eyes of his new friend. "2BIT... Ohh... Take me in those gentle arms..." he cooed, biting his lip. He couldn't conceive of the idea of topping the other fox, even though 2BIT had suggested it earlier. But something at the back of his mind nagged. His needy cock...wanted to finally be used. As 2BIT was attending to his own needs, his ears flicked when he heard a sudden "Aaaahh!" coming from the bathroom! Heart thumping, he shouted. "Tails?" Then, without thinking, he burst into the bathroom... Fortunately, Tails was concealed behind a shower curtain, so 2BIT realized what he was doing before he saw anything. That didn't stop him from blushing profusely. "Ahh, umm... A-are you okay in there?" he asked gingerly. Tails shyly poked his head out from behind the curtain, and his own face went red seeing 2BIT's hardon. The blue fox gasped and nervously tried to hide his shame with his bushy tail. The showering Tails stammered a bit before speaking. "I-I'm... fine. D-do you want me to..." his voice trailed off. 2BIT didn't let him finish. "N-no, I don't need anything! Uhm, except... I am worried about you, and... I thought maybe I could sleep in your room. Anywhere you like, I'll take the floor, anything to be here for you." he stammered. Tails drew his shy face behind the curtain a bit, showing only his eyes. "Y-you can join me...in the bed." he said, doing his best to conceal the silhouette of his hand pumping his needy shaft behind the curtain. 2BIT knew that this was the only way if he wanted to sleep in the same room. Tails was too sweet to let him lie on the floor. "I'll do my best not to disturb you, then..." he said, rubbing the back of his head bashfully. Tails drew himself fully behind the curtain and took a soft breath. "Am I the reason you're aroused?" he asked. 2BIT bit his lip. "N...no." he lied. Tails hugged his chest with a confused expression. "Well... You can take care of that here. I... won't watch." Tails said calmly. 2BIT blushed and nodded. It probably would be best to do it where he wouldn't mess the sheets. "I...won't watch you, either." 2BIT stated, admitting he could tell what Tails was doing. The wet fox's two tails tangled behind him in his awkward nervousness. "Thanks..." he said. As each of them resumed stroking themselves off, they couldn't help glancing in one another's direction through the curtain. They could see each other's silhouette. Each fox appeared as a shadow on the curtain to the other, Tails standing and 2BIT sitting on the toilet. It was harder for Tails to make out the other fox's body shape through the curtain, but he watched the motion of the shadow, knowing it was doing the same thing as him. 2BIT could see Tails much more clearly, and it certainly helped his imagination that he'd already seen a version of Tails naked before. He could easily picture Tails as his fingers glided up and down his long, beautiful foxhood, his full balls needing to release their load desperately, his twin tails swaying cutely behind him. 2BIT blushed deeply at the image in his mind, purring softly as he jerked himself off to it. Tails heard the other fox purring and backed to the wall, pumping his own shaft faster and panting softly. "T-two, ahhh…" he huffed, holding his free hand over his mouth to stop himself from saying the other fox's name. He didn't want to make this uncomfortable for 2BIT. Both foxes moaned softly, their lust rising, their need to orgasm growing. 2BIT held a hand over his own mouth. He didn't want to shout Tails' name. After a moment, he gasped into his hand lustfully and started to shoot his seed, pointing his dick up at himself so that his load pelted his own chest and belly rather than mess up Tails' bathroom. Tails moaned out and came more freely into the bathtub, his mess being washed away by the running water of the shower as he panted, keeping himself propped up against the wall. He blushed hard. "Y-you need the shower now, don't you?" he asked the blue fox. 2BIT blushed as well. "I-I'll wait..." he said sheepishly. Tails smiled, watching his silhouette through the curtain. "I'll be right out..." he said. Soon enough, both foxes were washed up. They'd managed to avoid looking at each other naked anymore through it all, and once dry, 2BIT joined Tails in his room. The yellow fox patted the bed next to him, inviting 2BIT to join him. "There's plenty of room." he smiled. 2BIT walked over and sat on the side of the bed opposite Tails, turning to look at him. The twin-tailed fox was looking at him with a cute smile, but there was still a quiet nervousness about him. "You'll be able to sleep with me here?" 2BIT asked. Tails nodded, lying down and covering himself with the blanket. He then turned his back to 2BIT. "If you decide to claim me after all...could you wake me up first?" he cooed softly, his words once again making 2BIT clutch his heart. He was so damaged. Tails was still convinced that 2BIT would eventually betray his trust and fuck him. He laid down, joining Tails under the blankets, and tightly held him in his arms, holding Tails' back against his chest. Tails whimpered, his body tensing, bracing himself for penetration. 2BIT simply held him, though, not squeezing, not touching him anywhere inappropriate, and keeping very still until Tails calmed down. "You don't deserve to be everyone's doormat, Tails. I won't do anything to hurt you..." he said softly. He then released the other fox, turning away to let him sleep without being manhandled. Tails was silent for a long time, and 2BIT wasn't sure if he'd fallen asleep or not, but eventually, his twin tails wrapped around him, embracing him like a soft hug. 2BIT blushed. He'd been aimless for months, wasting so much time. Tails had been abused, treated as a nothing. They had to be so much more... To be continued...?
