Silvourge: The Deal


“OH, FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!” Silver grunted as he bursted in the living room of the house he shared with the former convict of the No Zone, the infamous Scourge the Hedgehog, also known as the Anti-Sonic.
“...What?” asked the green hedgehog, dressed up in nothing except for his glasses, gloves and socks as he laid on the psychic hedgehog’s couch. 
“Why do you keep leaving your dirty clothes on the floor? They stink!” grunted Silver, holding Scourge’s trademarked leather jacket in one hand and his smelly shoes in the other.
“Well then, clean ‘em! Chop chop!” said Scourge, rolling his eyes and clapping his hands, which made Silver clench his fists. The two have been sharing a roof ever since Silver paroled for Scourge as a part of an attempt to straighten up the former tyrant of the alternate Zone he renamed Moebius, but convivence had proven to be a literal nightmare for the future hedgehog: not only was Scourge the laziest and dirtiest hedgehog ever, refusing to help Silver with even the simplest task while he was more than happy to soil the whole place up, he was also very demanding and spoiled, probably a residue of his time as king where he had an entire world ready to kiss the dirt he stepped on. Not to mention Scourge was 100% bashless: going around naked at all times, making sexual jokes and, worst of all, trying to sleep with Silver. Silver gritted his teeth in discomfort as he remembered the first time they shared a bed…


“You can’t sleep without anyone close to you?” asked Silver, blinking as Scourge stood in front of Silver’s bed, hands behind his back with a false embarrassed look.
“I know, it’s silly, but… I used to sleep with women and men pretty much everyday when I was king… I got so used to it that it’d be weird for me to not do that…” said Scourge looking down and keeping his tail between his legs, his scene was so believable that even Silver was fooled by it at the time.
“Oh geez… Well…” Silver stuttered, he wanted Scourge to feel like at home during his period living with him but sleeping with another dude? Could Silver do that? He swallowed hard and slowly nodded.
“O-Okay… But only this time, okay? I’ll help you get used to sleeping alone tomorrow, but for today, we can sleep together.” said Silver, smiling at Scourge.
“Yo, thanks, haircut! Yer the best!” said Scourge, smiling and crawling in Silver’s bed. The future hedgehog grabbed another pillow and gave it to Scourge.
“Well… Make yourself comfy. I hope you don’t mind if I read a bit before I sleep.” said Silver, taking back the book about gardening he was reading.
“Nah, fam, I’m good. Night.” said Scourge, turning his back to Silver and (seemingly) falling asleep. Silver smiled and read some more before he turned off the lights, turning his back to Scourge and closing his eyes.


He had no idea how much time had passed, but around 1:00 a.M. he woke up, feeling something pressed on his back. He looked behind him and gasped: Scourge was basically spooning him! He had wrapped his strong arms around Silver’s waist and buried his face in Silver’s back fur, purring as he rubbed his face on it, while he stretched his hands towards Silver’s fluffy chest hair and rubbed it as well, Silver could distinctly hear Scourge giggle softly as he touched Silver’s warm, fluffy body. The future hedgehog gulped as he had no idea what to do: was Scourge doing this on purpose or was he dreaming? Likewise, Silver felt very uncomfortable with Scourge touching all over his body while he pressed his buff torso against Silver’s back, gulping as he could feel Scourge’s crotch press against his butt and actually making a humping movement despite not being hard, however Silver really didn’t wanted for him to do this at all. Then he heard something, something that made his skin crawl…


“I can feel yer heartbeat increasin’, haircut… Means ya like this…” Scourge’s raspy voice slithered in Silver’s ear like a snake slithers in its den, making him get out of the hedgehog’s hug and turn to look at his grin and piercing azure eyes who seemed to stare directly in his soul.
“Why… Why’d you do that?” asked Silver, with a whimper in his voice.
“Well, we’re sharin’ a bed an’ a house… Might as well get a bit more friendly with each other, don’t ya think? Gettin’ to know each other… If ya catch my drift…” said Scourge, his grin widened a bit and Silver could swear that the green hedgehog was drooling a bit.
“W-What?!” asked Silver, gulping and blushing madly.
“What? Everybody knows that the bedroom is where people get to know each other better… On a side note, can I just say that you are the best pillow ever? I could kill to sleep with someone like you…” said the former convict, grinning and tracing a circle on Silver’s midriff, then he made his fingers ‘walk’ on his body until he buried his right hand deep in his chest hair. All this made Silver very tense and uncomfortable: he didn’t sign up to be touched all over and spooned by an evil version of Sonic.
“Yaaaawn… Now, if ya excuse me, I have an appointment for Snooze Town, population? Dis guy…” he said, yawning and grinning before he pulled Silver back in his arms, this time pinning his arms to his sides as he buried his face deep in his head and, this time, fell asleep for real. Silver gulped and tried to get free, but Scourge was indeed pretty strong, so he just sighed and left it at that.
(It’s just for tonight after all, right?) he thought to himself as he managed to fall asleep…


Turns out, it wasn’t. Scourge would always find some way to sneak in Silver’s room and hug him either from behind or from the front, burying his hands or face in his fluff and forcing him to lock the door with a key every night, which actually served a purpose only when Scourge was effectively too tired to spoon him. Any other day, Scourge would just force the lock and sleep with Silver anyway.
“You know, Scourge, I’m starting to think that you don’t want to change at all…” Silver hissed at him.
“What gave me away?” asked the Anti-Sonic, grinning and chewing on a banana, needless to say in a rather sensual way.
“You’re lazy, spoiled, dirty and unashamed…” Silver commented, huffing.
“Thanks, haircut… That’s what I’m aiming for…” chuckled the green hedgehog.
“You do realize that, if after a month with me you don’t show any sign of change, you’ll be thrown back in prison?” grunted Silver.
“Oh no… Not the slammer again…” groaned Scourge sarcastically, making Silver grit his teeth and clench his fists in anger, then he huffed and calmed down, sitting on the armrest of the couch.
“I don’t want to give up on you yet, Scourge… I know you can be good, you just… need the right incentive…” said Silver, twiddling his fingers.
“Well, good luck finding one, haircut… If ya do, please let me know…” grunted Scourge, getting up and going to get a beer, not before releasing a huge fart followed by a belch which made Silver grimace in disgust and sigh.




(Sigh… It’s no use… No matter what I try, he’s not willing to change… I GOT to find a way to make him do the first step towards a life of rectitude, but what can I…?) Silver thought, he was desperate to find a way to change him, then he had an idea. A very bad idea, but he was out of options. He sighed and got to the kitchen, finding Scourge bent on the fridge to get a beer.
“S-Scourge?” asked Silver, making him look back and grin as he wagged his butt.
“Enjoyin’the view?” asked the green hedgehog, chuckling. 
“Y-You know… I think I d-do know a g-good incentive for you…” said Silver, regretting the awful idea that he had.
“Do ya?” asked Scourge, raising a brow as he closed the fridge and opened the can of beer, drinking it.
“I was thinking… What if I… L-Let you s-sleep with me… E-Everytime you help in the h-house?” asked Silver. This made Scourge spit the beer as he was definitely not expecting that.
“What the fuck?!” he asked, looking at how bashful Silver looked “Yer… Serious?” asked the green hedgehog, too surprised to even smirk at the idea of Silver letting him sleep with him.
“Y-Yeah… Th-The more h-house chores you d-do… Th-the more you can s-sleep with me…” Silver whimpered, tracing a circle with his foot.
“Heh… Hehehehehe… HAHAHAHAHAHA!!” Scourge bursted in a powerful laugh which made Silver lower his ears, thinking that even this idea was rejected and he actually was relieved by that option, but then Scourge moved closer and held out his hand.
“...Deal.” said the green hedgehog, smirking “Ya gotta keep yer word tho.” he added. Silver gulped and grabbed his hand, shaking it.
“I… I always d-do… BUT! You have to keep YOUR word too, or else it’s no deal, got it?” said Silver, making sure that Scourge’d understand his part of the deal.


“What, Silvy? Don’t trust lil ol’ me?” said Scourge, making a sheepish smile, which was met with Silver’s unamused eyes.
“Swear to me or else you’re not getting any of this…” said Silver, unconsciously cupping his chest hair as if they were a pair of boobs, realizing only too late how slutty that sounded.
“A’ight, fam.” said Scourge, chuckling before he placed one hand on his chest and the other up in the air “I, Scourge the Hedgehog, former ruler of Moebius, solemnly swear that I’ll keep my end of the bargain.” said the green hedgehog, for extra proof Silver had turned on the lie detector on his cuff but it didn’t beeped and Scourge couldn’t fool his tech.
“Can’t believe ya’d sell yerself just to make me do some lame chores…” chuckled Scourge as he tossed his empty beer can in the trash bin. “I knew bitches who sold themselves for much more valuable stuff…” he added then, grinning.
“Please, don’t say it like that… And I’m ‘selling’ myself to make you a better hedgehog...” huffed Silver as he gave Scourge a list of stuff to do “Can you do any of this without wrecking the house while I take a breather?” asked Silver, sighing.
“Oh, ye hedgehog of poor faith…” said Scourge, snatching the list and looking at it:
-Wash the dishes
-Vacuum the floor
-Watering the garden
-Wash their clothes
-Toss the trash in the respective bins
“...That’s it? Pft, no big…” said Scourge, crumpling the paper sheet and tossing it in the bin.
“You never did anything around here. How can you say that?” asked Silver, folding his arms.
“Just watch me, haircut…” replied Scourge, grinning and cracking his knuckles.


Silver had to admit: Scourge proved him wrong! He completed all of the tasks Silver gave him and not even using his own speed, saying that he could’ve but like this it would’ve been more rewarding for him later. Silver watched, confused and bedazzled, as Scourge completed every task on the list, including taking care of the garden, with an almost maniacal precision, a stark contrast from the former dirty and lazy attitude. When Scourge was done it was almost dinner time and the entire house was squeaky clean, like never before.
“Whew… That was somethin’else…” huffed Scourge wiping his forehead.
“I… I… My God! I can almost see myself on the floor! But how… And… And why…?” Silver said, not sure if to be amazed at Scourge’s skills or annoyed by the fact that he could’ve helped him before but never did.
“Heh, someone’s surprised…” chuckled Scourge, stretching a bit.
“You can say that again! How and when did you get so good at cleaning?” asked Silver as he started cooking.
“I dunno… Mom used to make me do all the stuff ‘round the house when I was a cub… Guess some things ain’t meant to be forgotten…” said the green hedgehog, shrugging.
“You can say that. What you did… I can tell that you did it not only to sleep with me…” said Silver, not holding back a smile as he prepared food.
“Ya tell that to anyone, Imma fuck you up, capiche?” said Scourge, grunting and waving his fist at Silver, who giggled.
“Got it.” said Silver as he made Scourge a huge plate of pasta with tomato sauce.


“Is… this all for me?!” asked the green hedgehog, gasping at the sheer size of the portion he had.
“Yup. You worked hard, so you need to replenish your energy. There can be even more good things happening if you help around.” said Silver, sitting on the table. Scourge blinked as he sat in front of Silver.
“...Why you bein’so nice all of a sudden?” he asked, peeking at the silvery hedgehog.
“Hm?” Silver asked back while eating.
“Ya used to yell at me, call me lazy an’shit… And now ya give me this huge hunk of pasta just ‘cuz I did some chores? For real?” asked the green former convict.
“It’s called gratitude, Scourge. Have you never had some?” replied the future hog, pointing at him with his fork. Scourge looked at the food as a weird feeling crammed in his throat.
“...No…” he then said, looking down.
“Really? Not even from your mom whenever you helped out?” asked Silver, raising a brow. Scourge looked at Silver and, before he knew it, he started spewing out his entire life while eating surprisingly politely.
“Dat was a… different time… Course mommy was proud of me for doing my part ‘round the house an’, whenever I was particularly well-behaved, she’d reward me… Hugs, kisses, the whole shebang…” he said “But then, as I grew up an’my folks got out of the picture… Gettin’ those rewards got harder and… and nobody told me that. I wasn’t prepared for it, only thinkin’that bein’a king meant gettin’whatever I wanted whenever I pleased… But now that I think about it… I never felt satisfied with doin’that, and I never knew why… Only thinkin’ ‘bout gettin’more no matter what…” Scourge sighed as he then focused on the food, cooing slightly as he loved Silver’s cuisine.


“I know why you felt that way…” said Silver, as he finished his food.
“Ya do?!” asked Scourge, peeking at him again.
“You felt that way because you never earned those things that you got. Love, money, power… They are all enticing things, I get it, but unless you gain them fairly, they feel just…” Silver explained.
“...Useless…” Scourge finished his phrase, sighing as he finished his food. “Imma wash these now… Then I’ll sleep on the couch…” he said, sounding uncharacteristically sad as he took the plates and walked to the sink.
“What do you mean? Thought you wanted to sleep together?” asked Silver, not believing that now he would feel willing to do so.
“I… I don’t think I earned it…” Scourge mumbled, Silver saw him shiver and could swear that the green hedgehog was actually sobbing as he placed the plates in the sink and washed them. Was Scourge, the meanest hedgehog in the entire multiverse, actually sad because he just realized how empty his life actually was? Silver didn’t even realize that he got up and walked to him, wrapping his arms around Scourge’s neck and pulling him in a hug which made the green hedgehog wince.
“S-Silver?” asked Scourge, not even calling him ‘haircut’ at this point.
“...Haircut’s fine… You’ve earned it, Scourge…” whispered Silver in his ear. Scourge let go of the dishes and turned to face Silver, while his arms were still wrapped around his neck.
“W-What’d you say?” asked Scourge, now Silver could see his tearful eyes.
“You’ve earned this moment, Scourge the Hedgehog… All of it…” said Silver with a soft smile before pulling him in a kiss. Scourge widened his eyes in shock: he had tried to get Silver to kiss him before, since he thought Silver was cute, but the hedgehog had always refused his advances. Suddenly the green hedgehog could see why: he didn’t earn his affection. He bursted into tears and hugged Silver back, kissing him back while he sobbed profoundly. Silver patted his back as they shared that kiss together for a while, then Silver pulled away and cupped Scourge’s cheeks, making the Anti-Sonic smile as they looked in each other’s eyes.


“Let’s go to bed, Scourge…” said Silver, smiling.


“...Okay…” replied Scourge, still sobbing in happiness.


The End
