The blue hero was groggy and seemed to be barely awake, but she was able to help him clean up and get into a new bed so he could sleep soundly. She decided afterwards that a trip to the store was in order, and she left only after making sure Sonic would be alright.\n\nWhen she got back Shadow was sitting on a couch on the far side of the club, head down on the table in front of him and flipping lazily through the texts from Angel Island. At least he was doing his research, she thinks as she carries her groceries into the kitchen. After setting up a pot of water to boil, she heads back out to the main room to sit across from the ebony hedgehog, resting her chin in her left hand.\n\n\"How's it going?\" she asks, watching his ears flick back. He flips through another paper, ignoring her.\n\n'What a bundle of sunshine,' she thinks with a smirk to herself, shaking her head. \"You should take Sonic on a run later when he wakes up. Take those papers with you, find a nice place for you two to read them together.\"\n\nThat earns her a small glare, as the hedgehog sits up and gathers the texts up in a pile. \"I don't want to be anywhere near him,\" he says with a scowl. \"His energy reacts too much to mine.\"\n\n\"You're not going to solve any of your guys' problems by avoiding each other,\" Rouge frowns at him.\n\n\"I'll do things how I want to,\" he stands up, taking the papers with him.\n\n\"You're stupid,\" Rouge huffs, turning her head and throwing her arms up in frustration. \"Just do it, Shadow. It isn't going to hurt anyone.\"\n\nHe stands there, glaring at her, and she meets his glare with one of her own, electricity practically flowing between the two.\n\n\"I'd say if he doesn't want to, why force him,\" Sonic's voice spoke up from behind them, arms crossed. He was leaning back on a nearby table, seeming to have been there for a minute or two. \"...but he seems to not mind forcing people to do things they don't want.\" When Shadow turns back to scowl at him, his emerald eyes narrow. \"So tough shit. Let's go.\"\n\nHe doesn't give Shadow any room to argue, walking over to snatch the papers out of his hand and grab him by the wrist, and the two disappear in a flash of Chaos Control.\n\nRouge blinks, staring at the spot the two had been just seconds before.\n\n\"Power to you, Blue.\"\n___________________________________________\n\nThey sat next to each other, under the tree Sonic had sat at just the other day, the blue hero watching Shadow finish the papers he himself had already read. Shadow was sitting up, just an inch away, while Sonic leaned back comfortably against the tree, the sun warm as it flickered through the leaves above them.\n\nIt would be relatively relaxing if not for the constant buzz of Chaos Energy between them, or the fact that they hated each other, or that Sonic felt he had to remain on high alert because Shadow obviously couldn't be trusted…\n\nHe was surprised the striped hedgehog even agreed to sit down. He had thought he was going to have to prepare for a fight, but after a glaring match, Shadow actually sat and started reading. He wondered if it was because of Rouge's threats, because he couldn't figure out why else Shadow would actually listen, unless he was broken or something…\n\nSpeaking of…\n\nWasn't Shadow actually a robot? If he remembered correctly from what Rouge had said back on the ARK, Shadow was created by Professor Gerald, all from scratch. He didn't age, was never a child, he's always been the same as he was now. He was made to be a cure and a weapon, but anything else? His Chaos Energy wasn't even authentic...well...at least half of it anyway. Half of his energy was just synthetic, or fake, like the fake emerald Tails made before. It wasn't real Chaos Energy, so should a bond even be possible? If Shadow wasn't completely made out of real Chaos Energy, then their bond shouldn't be possible, right?\n\nHe furrows his brows, shaking his head. It had to be possible, if they had a bond now, as unlikely as it seemed.\n\n...but if Shadow really was a robot, then what gives? He's pretty sure Shadow could bleed mobian blood, but he never ate. Never drank anything. Could he? He obviously could have sex, as he so subtly had learned, so he would assume so… That doesn't really make him a robot then, does it?\n\n...but to create something that had such abilities… Shadow's strength was rival to that of Knuckles, Chaos ability equally matching his own… He could even run at the speeds Sonic could, and even though he used his skates to achieve such a feat, his body could still handle the velocity, where normal mobians -including Tails- couldn't.\n\nHe was probably the only other person on the planet that he could call his equal, and if they really were both immortal…\n\nJust what was he? Maybe he should ask Rouge if she knew anymore about him…\n\nMaybe he shouldn't be questioning Shadow until he figured himself out, though. He may or may not be immortal, which wasn't something any mobian just was. Shadow was created to be the Ultimate Lifeform, surpassing anything and everyone else, yet Sonic was simply born this way. Born an equal to the Ultimate Lifeform.\n\nMaybe that was one of the reasons Shadow hated him, he realized. Shadow was created to be perfect, yet Sonic had achieved that simply by existing. Maybe that offended Shadow.\n\nWould he have...actually tried to kill him? Sonic shook the thought from his head; he didn't want to think about it…\n\nHe watches Shadow flip through another page, thinking how this was the calmest he's ever seen his rival. He actually seemed relaxed, which was a first for the blue hero's eyes.\n\nIt could be worse, he then thinks. He could be bonded to anyone else...St. John, Kahn, Jet… He shakes his head again, shuddering inwardly at the thought of being forced with one of those guys…\n\nShadow was actually fun to be around when he wasn't a douchebag, he reminds himself. Racing him, sparring with him, and working together against a common threat… His favorite memory with Shadow was when the two of them and Rouge took out a weapon at the doctor's base. They worked perfectly together, and his favorite moment during the whole escapade, was catching Shadow after the hedgehog took off his inhibitors to take out the weapon. Shadow actually had smiled up at him. A real smile. Not his cocky smirk or evil grin that said he was going to kill you...a smile. Afterwards they shook hands and again he was rewarded with another smile, and there had been a twinkle in Shadow's eyes he had never seen before, but one he devoted to memory because it was just so…\n\nHe didn't even have a word for it, but it made him warm inside.\n\nMaybe...they could have become friends...if this hadn't happened. The fact that Shadow had came to him that day, asking for his help, was a huge step towards friendship. Now they were all the way back at step zero, possibly the negatives now, and it didn't seem fixable.\n\nHis mind went back to only so many hours ago… Shadow could have hurt him again, but he didn't. He wasn't exactly gentle, but he made an effort to not be so harsh. Then there was that kiss, that strange, chaste kiss that seemed too...simple for the dark hedgehog. They had met eyes, and there was some kind of strange emotion in those red irises, and that warm feeling he had every time he thought back to that one memory came back to him, if only for such a short minute. Shadow had even stayed a little bit when he had asked…\n\nWas there a chance? Would they be able to get over this?\n\nNo, not with how much Shadow hated him now, and he wasn't sure if he could forgive him for what he did to him.\n\nHopefully the most they could do would be to just make it through this without killing each other, and avoid each other any time they didn't have to be together. Still sucked he would never be able to go out with Sally again, or anyone else.\n\nAt least Shadow was attractive, he couldn't deny that. The first time he saw Shadow he was for some unknown reason drawn to how he looked and couldn't shake it. With his black fur and red markings, white tuff of chest fluff and upturned quills no other hedgehog could have, he always had the blue hero's eye. His eyes were the most interesting; crimson red that would put his shoes to shame. Even now staring at him, he had to admit he was attracted to Shadow's appearance. He was built like Knuckles and yet could be so swift and deadly…\n\nHe doesn't realize he's blushing until Shadow looks back at him, and his heart leaps into his chest.\n\nIf Shadow noticed him staring, then he didn't show it. Instead he leans back and flips through a set of papers he was holding. \"I read all of it.\"\n\nSonic swallows the lump in his throat and hopes his energy can stay in control with Shadow's shoulder touching his, and he reaches for the papers next to him to hand to the other.\n\n\"Then we're caught up at the same spot. I haven't read these yet,\" he says, taking the read papers from Shadow to put back in the bag he brought, watching Shadow flip through the new pages.\n\nThen he suddenly remembers why he stopped reading.\n\nPanic suddenly fills him and he resists the urge to snatch the papers out of the Ultimate Lifeform's hands. \"Uhh-I mean we don't have to read [i]those[/i]-\"\n\n\"Because they're about you?\" Shadow interrupts, giving him a small frown. Sonic can't stop his face from reddening, and he glares back at him.\n\n\"I mean...I just don't think they're really important…\"\n\nShadow huffs, looking back at the papers. \"You and Rouge were the ones that wanted us all to read these, so we're reading them. Get over it.\"\n\nSonic bites the inside of this cheek, crossing his arms, ears pinning back. Oh, what was the point in arguing? He probably should learn this stuff anyway, as embarrassing as it was.\n\nIgnoring that they were leaning against each other, he looks at the papers Shadow holds in between them and starts reading to himself, hoping Shadow finished before he did.\n\n[i]'Once the first act of intimacy has taken place, the next acts take place when the Dark Chaos Born develops a heat. A heat prepares the Dark Chaos Born for the next act of intimacy, including heavy secretion and relaxing of the entire body.'[/i]\n\nSonic put a hand over his mouth, knowing his face had to be red as ever.\n\n[i]'When the Dark Chaos Born goes into heat, they will stay in heat until the two have sex again. The longer they go without, the more intense the heat will get. The reason being is because the Chaos Energy in the Dark Chaos Born builds up and does not stop until it is released. If a heat is not properly taken care of, the amount of built up Chaos Energy can cause the Dark Chaos Born to go into a coma, suffer great mental and emotional trauma, or even death. It is very important heats are taken care of within the first two hours of development.\n\n'During the Dark Chaos Born's heat, the Light Chaos Born will be able to sense and feel it, no matter how far away they are from each other or where they are. The Light Chaos Born will suffer great energy attacks if the heat is not taken care of. This was made so a Light Chaos Born could not ever neglect their mate in any form of abuse. The more the Dark Chaos Born suffers, the more the Light Chaos Born will as well.\n\n'A Dark Born's heat heavily effects their emotions, making them act uncharacteristically and act out on emotions. The stronger the Dark Born's energy, the stronger the emotional reactions. Some weaker Dark Born can learn to control these emotional reactions, although it is rare they are able to fully suppress them. Dark Born with stronger energy will not be able to contain nor suppress these emotions. The only way to keep them under control is if the emotional bond between the two Chaos Born is positive, and the Light Chaos Born shares their energies back and forth between them.'[/i]\n\nSonic felt something bitter rise in his throat. So there was no way to keep his emotions under control unless Shadow was willing to be there for him? Maybe he was today, but if he decided he didn't want to…\n\nHe didn't like that at all. Not being able to control himself...having to rely on someone else for something like this...\n\n[i]'Chaos is powered by emotions. The stronger the emotional bond between the two Chaos Born, the smoother the Mating Season will run its course. If there is either no bond or a negative bond between the two, it will cause both Chaos Born great pain throughout the Season, and can cause the Season to last longer than it is supposed to.\n\n'If a bond is strong it will give the Chaos Born many benefits, some including the ability to draw on and use each other's energy, telepathic communication, and stronger regeneration abilities.\n\n'If a bond is negative, Blocks may have to be established in order to protect the Dark Chaos Born from abuse.'[/i]\n\nSonic perks up and Shadow frowns as they read the last line at the same time.\n\nBlocks? Finally, something worth reading, Sonic thinks with a inner breath of relief.\n\n[i]'A Block protects the Dark Chaos Born's energy from being manipulated by the Light Chaos Born. Light Chaos Born can bend and shape a Dark Born's energy, which can cause severe physical, mental, and emotional trauma if abused. A Block protects the Dark Chaos Born from attacks by sensing any attempted manipulations and sending them back to the Light Chaos Born. Some call it Chaos Mirroring, and it can be given to the Dark Chaos Born from the Master Emerald, issued by the Guardian.'[/i]\n\nOh, that sucked. He would need Knuckles to put the Block on him, but to do that he would have to tell Knuckles...and if he told Knuckles then all hell would break loose…\n\nMaybe there was a way to do it without needing Knuckles… He's used the Master Emerald on his own before without the echidna's help, so if he just tried it on his own…\n\nMaybe he could even talk to Tikal…\n\nHe realizes that Shadow was flipping through the papers almost as if he were lost in thought, a frown on his tan muzzle and his red eyes distant.\n\n\"Shadow?\" he's not sure why he gets the others attention, but Shadow looks up, and that's when he truly notices how close they are.\n\nBecause their noses touch the moment Shadow turns his head.\n\nSonic jumps back and looks away quickly, a hot feeling rushing through him and he curses his energy for making the wrong assumption in the brief contact…\n\nShadow must feel it too, because he moves an inch away from him, black ears bent back.\n\nMoving away seemed to have the opposite effect they wanted, though.\n\nSonic's energy only grew at that moment, and the blue hero closed his eyes and lets out a breath of air. \"Th-This is stupid,\" he says shakily, catching Shadow by surprise. \"I always thought Chaos Energy was a good thing to have. Everyone calls it a [i]gift[/i]. It's only taken away my entire freedom and ripped and torn it apart piece by piece.\"\n\nShadow doesn't say anything, looking down at the papers again, the same deep frown still on his muzzle.\n\nThe two sit in silence, and Sonic's curiosity has him opening his eyes to look over at Shadow, which is a bad idea because his energy just jumps the moment he lays eyes on him, and he curses internally when Shadow looks back up at him.\n\nDid he ever get a break?\n\nThen Shadow is shaking his head and standing up, grabbing all the papers into a pile and putting them into the bag sitting next to Sonic, and the blue hero is watching with dread building in his stomach.\n\n\"Let's go,\" Shadow says after the papers are packed up, and Sonic wants to argue, but knows there's no point, so he stands up and takes his bag from the black and red hedgehog, and with once last glare at each other, they disappear in a flash to Club Rouge.\n_____________________________________________\n\nGloveless hands against the wall, knees on the bed, head looking down with eyes squeezed shut, Sonic bit his bottom lip to keep himself from crying out, but fails when Shadow snaps his hips in just the right direction, hitting his prostate and causing him to moan out loudly.\n\nShadow's face was buried in the crook of his neck, the Ultimate Lifeform panting while holding back his own moans, arms tightly wrapped around Sonic's torso and hips, each thrust faster and harder than the last.\n\nThe throbbing between his legs was almost unbearable at this point, and the blue hero had the urge to reach for his member to relieve some of that stress, but was too embarrassed to do so. He also felt like jelly, unable to move his arms from the wall in front of him, and so he bit his lip again, drawing blood when a particular thrust was too much.\n\nHe was honestly starting to get use to this, which horrified himself. He couldn't deny his body definitely enjoyed the attention, but he didn't want to. He supposed it was better than being in constant pain, but still…\n\nHe suddenly feels a warmth around his member and he sucks in his breath, before whining loudly as Shadow starts to stroke him, matching with each thrust into his rear.\n\nOh, he was gonna [i]die.[/i]\n\nIt was starting to get to be too much now, and Sonic shakes his head, reaching for Shadow's hand on his member and losing it. [i]\"Ah-! Ahh-Sha-! I can't-!\"[/i]\n\nHe was going to lose his mind at this point. He feels Shadow's other hand run up his chest and pull him back away from the wall, so Sonic's head falls back on his shoulder. [i]\"Shadow!\" [/i]Sonic reaches behind him, hands flying up to grab on Shadow's head quills, legs shaking and threatening to give out, each thrust of Shadow's hips forcing a hot breath of air and whine from him, breaking him apart.[i] \"Ah-hahhhhaa….\"\n[/i]\nEvery noise that left Sonic only made Shadow want to go more; the sounds strangely addicting. He moves the hand that's on Sonic's chest up to his mouth, forcing those fawn lips open as he slides two fingers in his mouth.\n\n\"Scream,\" he huffs into the younger's blue ear, making it flick back against its owner's head. A noticeable shiver runs through Sonic at the hoarseness of the biohog's voice and his demand, before his eyes are widening as Shadow rams forward with no remorse.\n\nSonic screamed.\n_______________________________________________\n\nThe bat girl smiles as she brings in a tray of fresh cooked chili dogs, making Sonic give her an empty smile where he lay on his back on the bed.\n\n\"Rise and shine, Baby Blue!\" Rouge chirps, putting the tray on the nightstand, plopping down on the edge of the bed to lean over and press a kiss on his forehead. \"I know with that appetite of yours you have to be [i]dying[/i]. I made these myself so you better not waste them!\"\n\n[i]'He really needs to eat. He barely touched his breakfast earlier, and that was a while ago now,' [/i]she thinks, watching him sigh and wince as he sits up.\n\n\"Thanks, Rouge,\" he mumbles eyeing the tray. His stomach growled, but the thought of putting food in his mouth made him want to gag. Even chili dogs weren't appeasing to him right now, and he's never had a problem accepting a chili dog before.\n\n\"Sonic,\" Rouge sighs, making him look up almost guiltily. \"Please try. You're going to make yourself sick if you don't really eat.\"\n\nHe rests his head in his hand, crossing his legs and closing his eyes. \"I know...I just don't have the stomach for it.\"\n\n\"You always have the stomach for food,\" she argues with a weak grin. \"Try. You'll feel better when you do. Don't make me feed you.\"\n\nHe opens one eye to glare at her, before giving in and turning to reach for the plate of food. He grabs one and takes a bite, trying to appreciate the flavor. It honestly wasn't that bad.\n\n\"There you go!\" Rouge smiles brightly, reaching up to pinch his cheek and pat him on the head, making him glare at her again. \"Eat up. I'm going to let the repair guys in to do their thing. Let me know if you need anything else, okay?\"\n\nHe waves her away, taking another bite of his food. After being left alone, he leans back against the pillows and continues to eat quietly, eyes narrowed as he stares up at the ceiling.\n\nTo have two heats in one day… How was he supposed to live like this? What if he was in the middle of battle and he got one? He wouldn't be able to fight… What if Shadow couldn't get to him within the two hours? What would happen then?\n\nHe felt sick thinking about all of it, and he tried not to as he continued eating. Rouge would scold him without end if he didn't finish his meal, so he pushed all thoughts of Shadow and this whole scenario to the back of his head and ate quickly.\n\nHe still couldn't help but wonder what Shadow really felt about all of this.\n_________________________________________________\n\nHe watched the repairmen at their task of rebuilding the broken wall, while Rough flirted with their manager in the kitchen. She was a panda with long hair and yellow eyes, curvy hips and short hair, and Rouge was all over her. Or she was just trying to get the repairs cheap by winning the heart of the girl. Of course, she would probably be getting this whole set for free the moment she pulled the 'I'm friends with Sonic card,' but surprisingly the bat never even mentioned him.\n\nShe must really care about him, he thought with a frown. Why was beyond him; Rouge didn't care for anyone but herself, but for some reason Sonic was special to her. The two always got along well, but being this close wasn't something he had ever seen, unless there was something he didn't know about.\n\nSonic had crashed right after their 'business' as usual, but not as hard as the past two times he did. Again the hero had clung on to him and asked him to stay, if just for a little bit, and for some stupid reason he obliged, before coming to his senses and leaving him alone again.\n\nThe truth was, he felt guilty.\n\nHe wanted to apologize.\n\n...but something was keeping him from doing it. He almost did, earlier under the tree when Sonic had started ranting, but something stopped the words from leaving his mouth. Then there was that thought that he shouldn't have to apologize, and that he had only done what needed to be done.\n\nHe couldn't tell if it was his energy making him think like that or his own self. At this point he couldn't tell the difference. He could hardly tell the difference between his own energy and Sonic's, now, which confused the hell out of him beyond end.\n\nSometimes he felt like he wasn't even the one acting, like something was taking control over him and forcing him to do things he would morally be against.

Sonic was out cold when Shadow came down and left without a word, and the bat girl had to wake him up to get him to the shower. The blue hero was groggy and seemed to be barely awake, but she was able to help him clean up and get into a new bed so he could sleep soundly. She decided afterwards that a trip to the store was in order, and she left only after making sure Sonic would be alright.

When she got back Shadow was sitting on a couch on the far side of the club, head down on the table in front of him and flipping lazily through the texts from Angel Island. At least he was doing his research, she thinks as she carries her groceries into the kitchen. After setting up a pot of water to boil, she heads back out to the main room to sit across from the ebony hedgehog, resting her chin in her left hand.

"How's it going?" she asks, watching his ears flick back. He flips through another paper, ignoring her.

'What a bundle of sunshine,' she thinks with a smirk to herself, shaking her head. "You should take Sonic on a run later when he wakes up. Take those papers with you, find a nice place for you two to read them together."

That earns her a small glare, as the hedgehog sits up and gathers the texts up in a pile. "I don't want to be anywhere near him," he says with a scowl. "His energy reacts too much to mine."

"You're not going to solve any of your guys' problems by avoiding each other," Rouge frowns at him.

"I'll do things how I want to," he stands up, taking the papers with him.

"You're stupid," Rouge huffs, turning her head and throwing her arms up in frustration. "Just do it, Shadow. It isn't going to hurt anyone."

He stands there, glaring at her, and she meets his glare with one of her own, electricity practically flowing between the two.

"I'd say if he doesn't want to, why force him," Sonic's voice spoke up from behind them, arms crossed. He was leaning back on a nearby table, seeming to have been there for a minute or two. "...but he seems to not mind forcing people to do things they don't want." When Shadow turns back to scowl at him, his emerald eyes narrow. "So tough shit. Let's go."

He doesn't give Shadow any room to argue, walking over to snatch the papers out of his hand and grab him by the wrist, and the two disappear in a flash of Chaos Control.

Rouge blinks, staring at the spot the two had been just seconds before.

"Power to you, Blue."
___________________________________________

They sat next to each other, under the tree Sonic had sat at just the other day, the blue hero watching Shadow finish the papers he himself had already read. Shadow was sitting up, just an inch away, while Sonic leaned back comfortably against the tree, the sun warm as it flickered through the leaves above them.

It would be relatively relaxing if not for the constant buzz of Chaos Energy between them, or the fact that they hated each other, or that Sonic felt he had to remain on high alert because Shadow obviously couldn't be trusted…

He was surprised the striped hedgehog even agreed to sit down. He had thought he was going to have to prepare for a fight, but after a glaring match, Shadow actually sat and started reading. He wondered if it was because of Rouge's threats, because he couldn't figure out why else Shadow would actually listen, unless he was broken or something…

Speaking of…

Wasn't Shadow actually a robot? If he remembered correctly from what Rouge had said back on the ARK, Shadow was created by Professor Gerald, all from scratch. He didn't age, was never a child, he's always been the same as he was now. He was made to be a cure and a weapon, but anything else? His Chaos Energy wasn't even authentic...well...at least half of it anyway. Half of his energy was just synthetic, or fake, like the fake emerald Tails made before. It wasn't real Chaos Energy, so should a bond even be possible? If Shadow wasn't completely made out of real Chaos Energy, then their bond shouldn't be possible, right?

He furrows his brows, shaking his head. It had to be possible, if they had a bond now, as unlikely as it seemed.

...but if Shadow really was a robot, then what gives? He's pretty sure Shadow could bleed mobian blood, but he never ate. Never drank anything. Could he? He obviously could have sex, as he so subtly had learned, so he would assume so… That doesn't really make him a robot then, does it?

...but to create something that had such abilities… Shadow's strength was rival to that of Knuckles, Chaos ability equally matching his own… He could even run at the speeds Sonic could, and even though he used his skates to achieve such a feat, his body could still handle the velocity, where normal mobians -including Tails- couldn't.

He was probably the only other person on the planet that he could call his equal, and if they really were both immortal…

Just what was he? Maybe he should ask Rouge if she knew anymore about him…

Maybe he shouldn't be questioning Shadow until he figured himself out, though. He may or may not be immortal, which wasn't something any mobian just was. Shadow was created to be the Ultimate Lifeform, surpassing anything and everyone else, yet Sonic was simply born this way. Born an equal to the Ultimate Lifeform.

Maybe that was one of the reasons Shadow hated him, he realized. Shadow was created to be perfect, yet Sonic had achieved that simply by existing. Maybe that offended Shadow.

Would he have...actually tried to kill him? Sonic shook the thought from his head; he didn't want to think about it…

He watches Shadow flip through another page, thinking how this was the calmest he's ever seen his rival. He actually seemed relaxed, which was a first for the blue hero's eyes.

It could be worse, he then thinks. He could be bonded to anyone else...St. John, Kahn, Jet… He shakes his head again, shuddering inwardly at the thought of being forced with one of those guys…

Shadow was actually fun to be around when he wasn't a douchebag, he reminds himself. Racing him, sparring with him, and working together against a common threat… His favorite memory with Shadow was when the two of them and Rouge took out a weapon at the doctor's base. They worked perfectly together, and his favorite moment during the whole escapade, was catching Shadow after the hedgehog took off his inhibitors to take out the weapon. Shadow actually had smiled up at him. A real smile. Not his cocky smirk or evil grin that said he was going to kill you...a smile. Afterwards they shook hands and again he was rewarded with another smile, and there had been a twinkle in Shadow's eyes he had never seen before, but one he devoted to memory because it was just so…

He didn't even have a word for it, but it made him warm inside.

Maybe...they could have become friends...if this hadn't happened. The fact that Shadow had came to him that day, asking for his help, was a huge step towards friendship. Now they were all the way back at step zero, possibly the negatives now, and it didn't seem fixable.

His mind went back to only so many hours ago… Shadow could have hurt him again, but he didn't. He wasn't exactly gentle, but he made an effort to not be so harsh. Then there was that kiss, that strange, chaste kiss that seemed too...simple for the dark hedgehog. They had met eyes, and there was some kind of strange emotion in those red irises, and that warm feeling he had every time he thought back to that one memory came back to him, if only for such a short minute. Shadow had even stayed a little bit when he had asked…

Was there a chance? Would they be able to get over this?

No, not with how much Shadow hated him now, and he wasn't sure if he could forgive him for what he did to him.

Hopefully the most they could do would be to just make it through this without killing each other, and avoid each other any time they didn't have to be together. Still sucked he would never be able to go out with Sally again, or anyone else.

At least Shadow was attractive, he couldn't deny that. The first time he saw Shadow he was for some unknown reason drawn to how he looked and couldn't shake it. With his black fur and red markings, white tuff of chest fluff and upturned quills no other hedgehog could have, he always had the blue hero's eye. His eyes were the most interesting; crimson red that would put his shoes to shame. Even now staring at him, he had to admit he was attracted to Shadow's appearance. He was built like Knuckles and yet could be so swift and deadly…

He doesn't realize he's blushing until Shadow looks back at him, and his heart leaps into his chest.

If Shadow noticed him staring, then he didn't show it. Instead he leans back and flips through a set of papers he was holding. "I read all of it."

Sonic swallows the lump in his throat and hopes his energy can stay in control with Shadow's shoulder touching his, and he reaches for the papers next to him to hand to the other.

"Then we're caught up at the same spot. I haven't read these yet," he says, taking the read papers from Shadow to put back in the bag he brought, watching Shadow flip through the new pages.

Then he suddenly remembers why he stopped reading.

Panic suddenly fills him and he resists the urge to snatch the papers out of the Ultimate Lifeform's hands. "Uhh-I mean we don't have to read those-"

"Because they're about you?" Shadow interrupts, giving him a small frown. Sonic can't stop his face from reddening, and he glares back at him.

"I mean...I just don't think they're really important…"

Shadow huffs, looking back at the papers. "You and Rouge were the ones that wanted us all to read these, so we're reading them. Get over it."

Sonic bites the inside of this cheek, crossing his arms, ears pinning back. Oh, what was the point in arguing? He probably should learn this stuff anyway, as embarrassing as it was.

Ignoring that they were leaning against each other, he looks at the papers Shadow holds in between them and starts reading to himself, hoping Shadow finished before he did.

'Once the first act of intimacy has taken place, the next acts take place when the Dark Chaos Born develops a heat. A heat prepares the Dark Chaos Born for the next act of intimacy, including heavy secretion and relaxing of the entire body.'

Sonic put a hand over his mouth, knowing his face had to be red as ever.

'When the Dark Chaos Born goes into heat, they will stay in heat until the two have sex again. The longer they go without, the more intense the heat will get. The reason being is because the Chaos Energy in the Dark Chaos Born builds up and does not stop until it is released. If a heat is not properly taken care of, the amount of built up Chaos Energy can cause the Dark Chaos Born to go into a coma, suffer great mental and emotional trauma, or even death. It is very important heats are taken care of within the first two hours of development.

'During the Dark Chaos Born's heat, the Light Chaos Born will be able to sense and feel it, no matter how far away they are from each other or where they are. The Light Chaos Born will suffer great energy attacks if the heat is not taken care of. This was made so a Light Chaos Born could not ever neglect their mate in any form of abuse. The more the Dark Chaos Born suffers, the more the Light Chaos Born will as well.

'A Dark Born's heat heavily effects their emotions, making them act uncharacteristically and act out on emotions. The stronger the Dark Born's energy, the stronger the emotional reactions. Some weaker Dark Born can learn to control these emotional reactions, although it is rare they are able to fully suppress them. Dark Born with stronger energy will not be able to contain nor suppress these emotions. The only way to keep them under control is if the emotional bond between the two Chaos Born is positive, and the Light Chaos Born shares their energies back and forth between them.'

Sonic felt something bitter rise in his throat. So there was no way to keep his emotions under control unless Shadow was willing to be there for him? Maybe he was today, but if he decided he didn't want to…

He didn't like that at all. Not being able to control himself...having to rely on someone else for something like this...

'Chaos is powered by emotions. The stronger the emotional bond between the two Chaos Born, the smoother the Mating Season will run its course. If there is either no bond or a negative bond between the two, it will cause both Chaos Born great pain throughout the Season, and can cause the Season to last longer than it is supposed to.

'If a bond is strong it will give the Chaos Born many benefits, some including the ability to draw on and use each other's energy, telepathic communication, and stronger regeneration abilities.

'If a bond is negative, Blocks may have to be established in order to protect the Dark Chaos Born from abuse.'

Sonic perks up and Shadow frowns as they read the last line at the same time.

Blocks? Finally, something worth reading, Sonic thinks with a inner breath of relief.

'A Block protects the Dark Chaos Born's energy from being manipulated by the Light Chaos Born. Light Chaos Born can bend and shape a Dark Born's energy, which can cause severe physical, mental, and emotional trauma if abused. A Block protects the Dark Chaos Born from attacks by sensing any attempted manipulations and sending them back to the Light Chaos Born. Some call it Chaos Mirroring, and it can be given to the Dark Chaos Born from the Master Emerald, issued by the Guardian.'

Oh, that sucked. He would need Knuckles to put the Block on him, but to do that he would have to tell Knuckles...and if he told Knuckles then all hell would break loose…

Maybe there was a way to do it without needing Knuckles… He's used the Master Emerald on his own before without the echidna's help, so if he just tried it on his own…

Maybe he could even talk to Tikal…

He realizes that Shadow was flipping through the papers almost as if he were lost in thought, a frown on his tan muzzle and his red eyes distant.

"Shadow?" he's not sure why he gets the others attention, but Shadow looks up, and that's when he truly notices how close they are.

Because their noses touch the moment Shadow turns his head.

Sonic jumps back and looks away quickly, a hot feeling rushing through him and he curses his energy for making the wrong assumption in the brief contact…

Shadow must feel it too, because he moves an inch away from him, black ears bent back.

Moving away seemed to have the opposite effect they wanted, though.

Sonic's energy only grew at that moment, and the blue hero closed his eyes and lets out a breath of air. "Th-This is stupid," he says shakily, catching Shadow by surprise. "I always thought Chaos Energy was a good thing to have. Everyone calls it a gift. It's only taken away my entire freedom and ripped and torn it apart piece by piece."

Shadow doesn't say anything, looking down at the papers again, the same deep frown still on his muzzle.

The two sit in silence, and Sonic's curiosity has him opening his eyes to look over at Shadow, which is a bad idea because his energy just jumps the moment he lays eyes on him, and he curses internally when Shadow looks back up at him.

Did he ever get a break?

Then Shadow is shaking his head and standing up, grabbing all the papers into a pile and putting them into the bag sitting next to Sonic, and the blue hero is watching with dread building in his stomach.

"Let's go," Shadow says after the papers are packed up, and Sonic wants to argue, but knows there's no point, so he stands up and takes his bag from the black and red hedgehog, and with once last glare at each other, they disappear in a flash to Club Rouge.
_____________________________________________

Gloveless hands against the wall, knees on the bed, head looking down with eyes squeezed shut, Sonic bit his bottom lip to keep himself from crying out, but fails when Shadow snaps his hips in just the right direction, hitting his prostate and causing him to moan out loudly.

Shadow's face was buried in the crook of his neck, the Ultimate Lifeform panting while holding back his own moans, arms tightly wrapped around Sonic's torso and hips, each thrust faster and harder than the last.

The throbbing between his legs was almost unbearable at this point, and the blue hero had the urge to reach for his member to relieve some of that stress, but was too embarrassed to do so. He also felt like jelly, unable to move his arms from the wall in front of him, and so he bit his lip again, drawing blood when a particular thrust was too much.

He was honestly starting to get use to this, which horrified himself. He couldn't deny his body definitely enjoyed the attention, but he didn't want to. He supposed it was better than being in constant pain, but still…

He suddenly feels a warmth around his member and he sucks in his breath, before whining loudly as Shadow starts to stroke him, matching with each thrust into his rear.

Oh, he was gonna die.

It was starting to get to be too much now, and Sonic shakes his head, reaching for Shadow's hand on his member and losing it. "Ah-! Ahh-Sha-! I can't-!"

He was going to lose his mind at this point. He feels Shadow's other hand run up his chest and pull him back away from the wall, so Sonic's head falls back on his shoulder. "Shadow!" Sonic reaches behind him, hands flying up to grab on Shadow's head quills, legs shaking and threatening to give out, each thrust of Shadow's hips forcing a hot breath of air and whine from him, breaking him apart. "Ah-hahhhhaa…."

Every noise that left Sonic only made Shadow want to go more; the sounds strangely addicting. He moves the hand that's on Sonic's chest up to his mouth, forcing those fawn lips open as he slides two fingers in his mouth.

"Scream," he huffs into the younger's blue ear, making it flick back against its owner's head. A noticeable shiver runs through Sonic at the hoarseness of the biohog's voice and his demand, before his eyes are widening as Shadow rams forward with no remorse.

Sonic screamed.
_______________________________________________

The bat girl smiles as she brings in a tray of fresh cooked chili dogs, making Sonic give her an empty smile where he lay on his back on the bed.

"Rise and shine, Baby Blue!" Rouge chirps, putting the tray on the nightstand, plopping down on the edge of the bed to lean over and press a kiss on his forehead. "I know with that appetite of yours you have to be dying. I made these myself so you better not waste them!"

'He really needs to eat. He barely touched his breakfast earlier, and that was a while ago now,' she thinks, watching him sigh and wince as he sits up.

"Thanks, Rouge," he mumbles eyeing the tray. His stomach growled, but the thought of putting food in his mouth made him want to gag. Even chili dogs weren't appeasing to him right now, and he's never had a problem accepting a chili dog before.

"Sonic," Rouge sighs, making him look up almost guiltily. "Please try. You're going to make yourself sick if you don't really eat."

He rests his head in his hand, crossing his legs and closing his eyes. "I know...I just don't have the stomach for it."

"You always have the stomach for food," she argues with a weak grin. "Try. You'll feel better when you do. Don't make me feed you."

He opens one eye to glare at her, before giving in and turning to reach for the plate of food. He grabs one and takes a bite, trying to appreciate the flavor. It honestly wasn't that bad.

"There you go!" Rouge smiles brightly, reaching up to pinch his cheek and pat him on the head, making him glare at her again. "Eat up. I'm going to let the repair guys in to do their thing. Let me know if you need anything else, okay?"

He waves her away, taking another bite of his food. After being left alone, he leans back against the pillows and continues to eat quietly, eyes narrowed as he stares up at the ceiling.

To have two heats in one day… How was he supposed to live like this? What if he was in the middle of battle and he got one? He wouldn't be able to fight… What if Shadow couldn't get to him within the two hours? What would happen then?

He felt sick thinking about all of it, and he tried not to as he continued eating. Rouge would scold him without end if he didn't finish his meal, so he pushed all thoughts of Shadow and this whole scenario to the back of his head and ate quickly.

He still couldn't help but wonder what Shadow really felt about all of this.
_________________________________________________

He watched the repairmen at their task of rebuilding the broken wall, while Rough flirted with their manager in the kitchen. She was a panda with long hair and yellow eyes, curvy hips and short hair, and Rouge was all over her. Or she was just trying to get the repairs cheap by winning the heart of the girl. Of course, she would probably be getting this whole set for free the moment she pulled the 'I'm friends with Sonic card,' but surprisingly the bat never even mentioned him.

She must really care about him, he thought with a frown. Why was beyond him; Rouge didn't care for anyone but herself, but for some reason Sonic was special to her. The two always got along well, but being this close wasn't something he had ever seen, unless there was something he didn't know about.

Sonic had crashed right after their 'business' as usual, but not as hard as the past two times he did. Again the hero had clung on to him and asked him to stay, if just for a little bit, and for some stupid reason he obliged, before coming to his senses and leaving him alone again.

The truth was, he felt guilty.

He wanted to apologize.

...but something was keeping him from doing it. He almost did, earlier under the tree when Sonic had started ranting, but something stopped the words from leaving his mouth. Then there was that thought that he shouldn't have to apologize, and that he had only done what needed to be done.

He couldn't tell if it was his energy making him think like that or his own self. At this point he couldn't tell the difference. He could hardly tell the difference between his own energy and Sonic's, now, which confused the hell out of him beyond end.

Sometimes he felt like he wasn't even the one acting, like something was taking control over him and forcing him to do things he would morally be against. Raping Sonic wasn't something he could fully justify; it was just plain wrong, but his brain would always find an excuse as to why he shouldn't feel bad, why it was fine.

'Sonic's been through worse, he'll get over it.'

That was the latest and probably most disgusting of his thoughts lately, but he couldn't help but agree with them.

He's always been a factual person, never relying on his emotions to tell him what he can and cannot do, but there was always a line, and he crossed it. Or, at least a part of him thought. A part of him that was slowly diminishing as the other part argued with it.

He felt like he was losing his mind, trying to figure it all out.

He knew what Maria would say. How she would respond to the way he was acting.

She would slap him. Tell him how disappointed she was in him.

That was probably what was pissing him off the most. What was making him act like he was. He couldn't stand the fact that Maria would be so upset with him…

...but he's already dug himself a hole. Already fucked up majorly. What could he honestly do now?

Sonic would never forgive him. Every minute of every day since it happened all he could think about was the way Sonic screamed at him. Told him he hated him. To go away.

Sonic was always smiling. Always happy, joking, and was the only person that ever put an effort in to getting to know him without wanting something in return.

The only person on the planet he actually felt...felt as if he mattered to other than just a weapon or a tool.

...and he fucked it all up.

Sonic reminded him of Maria so much...and now the hero hated him.

Sonic didn't even hate Eggman, after everything the doctor's done, but he hated Shadow.

Shadow was probably the only person he did hate.

...and there was no way to fix that.

So there was no point in trying. The only thing he could do was keep going the way he was and hope these next six months went by quickly and quietly.","pools_count":1,"title":"Bonds of Chaos - Chapter Four","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"text/rtf","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"2","rating_name":"Adult","ratings":[{"content_tag_id":"3","name":"Violence","description":"Mild violence","rating_id":"1"},{"content_tag_id":"4","name":"Sexual Themes","description":"Erotic imagery, sexual activity or arousal","rating_id":"2"},{"content_tag_id":"5","name":"Strong Violence","description":"Strong violence, blood, serious injury or death","rating_id":"2"}],"submission_type_id":"12","type_name":"Writing - Document","guest_block":"t","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"0","views":"130","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
