Tonic got up and turned off the water, and then turned around to pick up Dismal, who whimpered quietly. The yellow Sonic recolor set his 'pet' in the warm water, making him gasp lightly.

"Is it too hot, my pet?" he asked. The gray hedgehog shook his head; to be honest, the warm water actually felt nice. The older hedgehog smiled.

"Good," he said, pulling off his shoes and socks as well. He then stepped into the tub.

"Let's get you cleaned up, then..."

He picked up a squeegee and reached towards Dismal with his free hand. The gray hedgehog cringed away.

"Now, now, pet, I'm not going to hurt you," Tonic said with a soothing voice. The 'pet' whined, and then obediently crept towards Tonic, pushing his head against the older hedgehog's outstretched hand like a dog or a cat might.

"Good boy..."

Tonic lathered some soap into the squeegee.

"Now turn around..."

"W-What?!"

"I need to clean you," said Tonic patiently. "So get on your hands and knees and turn around, and make sure to spread your legs and lift that cute ass of yours up."

Dismal whimpered fearfully.

"Why can't I clean myself?" he asked. Tonic shook his head.

"You're a pet, now; pets don't clean themselves," he said. "Their owners do it for them. Now turn around."

"I-I think I'm perfectly capable-"

Tonic grabbed Dismal by the ear, making him cry out.

"Don't make me have to get rough with you, pet," the 'owner' growled. "Now turn around!"

Whimpering, Dismal obediently did as he was bidden. He was now humbly presenting his rear to Tonic, whose expression softened.

"See, isn't it easier to just follow orders?" he asked his 'pet'. He wrapped his free arm gently around the gray hedgehog's waist and started scrubbing his lower abdomen with the squeegee. The 'pet' gasped and instinctively stiffened.

"Just relax," Tonic soothed, still scrubbing. "I'm not going to hurt you..."

Dismal let out a low moan as Tonic resumed scrubbing, now moving to the younger hedgehog's crotch. This made him yelp.

"There, there...it's okay..."

Tonic continued scrubbing, adding slight pressure. Dismal let out a shuddering moan, his face becoming quite red.

"Someone's enjoying this," said the older hedgehog, smiling seductively. His 'pet' whined.

"Th-This is embarrassing...!" he wailed, shivering. Tonic looked at him curiously.

"Embarrassing? No one's watching us; there's no reason to be embarrassed, my pet."

He leaned forward and nuzzled the back of Dismal's neck. The younger hedgehog gasped as Tonic continued to nuzzle, still scrubbing his pet's crotch.

"Wh-What are you d-doing?"

"Awww," said Tonic, putting on a fake, hurt tone. "I can't give my pet an affectionate nuzzle?"

"Uhh...I-I didn't m-mean that..."

"Good," said the older hedgehog, nuzzling again. Dismal had to admit that it felt quite nice, and he started to purr lightly, closing his eyes in contentment. He had never been touched in such a loving and affectionate manner before, unless he counted the cuddling he had received from his parents long ago.

"Someone sounds happy," Tonic said, smiling. Gently putting his hand on the gray hedgehog's throat, he could feel it vibrating slightly from him purring.

"This feels...nice..."

"I'm glad it does, my pet..."

Tonic moved the squeegee to Dismal's rear, and resumed scrubbing. The gray hedgehog didn't react with a surprised yelp this time; instead, he moaned softly, and began to push his hindquarters against his master's hand.

"Well, what's this?" sad Tonic, smiling. "You must really be enjoying yourself, my pet."

"Huh?" said Dismal, sounding confused.

"You're grinding your cute little butt against my hand."

This got Dismal's attention, and his face immediately went red with embarrassment and shock.

"I'm WHAT?!" he cried, and jumped forward, something that Tonic was not expecting.

"Pet, wait!" Tonic yelled, dropping the squeegee as he tried to grab the younger hedgehog. He managed to grab him by the legs, making him trip and fall, and he thumped his head on the faucet before he fell into the water. Blood snaked upward through the water from the newly-made gash on Dismal's forehead.

"Dismal!! Oh no...!"

Tonic wrapped both arms around his pet's waist and hauled him up out of the water, and out of the bathtub. The gray hedgehog was gasping for air, coughing up water and squirming, but Tonic held fast. He grabbed a towel and wrapped it around both him and Dismal, holding him close. The younger hedgehog began to whimper and cry, still coughing.

"Shhhhh-shhh-shhh-shhh-shhh," Tonic soothed, stroking his pet's saturated quills.

"M-My head...hurts..." the gray hedgehog sniffled, reaching one shaking hand up towards his wound. However, Tonic gently grasped his hand and pulled it away.

"Don't touch it," he said softly. "I'll get Bubonic to look at it."

"N-No...d-don't want...B-Bubonic..."

"It's okay...no one's going to hurt you."

And with that, Tonic Chaos Controlled away.

          Tonic reappeared directly in front of the door leading to Bubonic's lab, carrying Dismal. He had moved the towel so it was covering the gray hedgehog.

"Bubonic?" said the older hedgehog, tapping the door with his foot. The door opened, revealing not Bubonic, but a hedgehog made entirely out of putty.

"Homo-Hog brings Guinea Pig, Master Bubonic!" said the putty Troll.

"Well that's not a very nice thing to call someone, Putty," said Tonic, looking faintly hurt. Bubonic walked over to them.

"What is it?" he asked. He looked at Tonic, and then at Dismal, who was still in the older hedgehog's arms.

"What happened to him now?"

"He hit his head on something," said Tonic, walking over to the bench and gently setting his 'pet' on top of it. Bubonic walked over as well, to inspect Dismal's injury. The hedgehog in question, however, currently had a hand over it, and he was whimpering.

"Dismal, Let me see," said Bubonic, putting his own hand on the gray hedgehog's. With a whine, the younger hedgehog obediently moved his hand away from the cut.

"Ohh, it's not that bad," said Bubonic. "Might need a few stitches, but it should be fine otherwise."

"S-Stiches?" Dismal whined, looking scared.

"Oh, grow a pair already, mutt," the Troll scientist snapped. "It's just a few little stitches."

"And I'm right here for you, my pet," said Tonic. Bubonic rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, so..."

He went to the cupboard to go get the needed materials to stitch up Dismal's wound. Tonic smiled and gently grabbed the gray hedgehog's hand.

"See? I'm right here," he said. The 'pet' let out a low sigh.

"I know what'll take your mind off the stitches..."

Dismal gulped; he had a bad feeling that whatever Tonic had in mind, he would not like it. And he was right. Grinning, the older hedgehog moved his other hand down to his pet's anal opening and began to finger the outside, making the gray hedgehog gasp.

"T-Tonic, no...!!"

"Shhhhh," said Tonic, still fingering gently. Bubonic looked back around and nearly dropped the box of stitching material.

"[i]TONIC!![/i]"

Both Tonic and Dismal jumped.

"What the Hell are you doing?!"

"I'm just trying to keep his mind off the stitches you're going to give him," said the yellow Sonic recolor.

"But that's disgusting!" Bubonic barked. "Stop it!"

"He's MY pet..."

"I don't care!!" the scientist continued. "You're not doing...that, in here!!"

"Fine," Tonic huffed, pulling his finger away as Bubonic set his materials on the little table next to the steel bench.

          A bit later, after Bubonic finished stitching up Dismal's head, he and Tonic were back in the latter's room. The older hedgehog was in the bathroom cleaning himself off (he hadn't gotten the chance to do it after Dismal got hurt in the bathtub). The gray hedgehog was quietly sitting on the bed when Tonic walked back in. He looked at his 'pet' and smiled seductively.

"Feeling better?" he asked. Dismal blushed.

"Y-Yeah," he said. His 'master' smiled.

"I'm glad to hear that," he said. He sat down on the bed next to his 'pet' and wrapped an arm around his scrawny shoulders, pulling him close.

"You know I won't let anything bad happen to you..."

"I-I know..."

"Good boy..."

Tonic picked up Dismal and set him in his lap. The gray hedgehog stiffened.

"W-What are you doing...?!"

"Just relax, my pet," Tonic soothed, wrapping both arms around Dismal. The gray hedgehog whined, but obediently rested his head against Tonic's chest, trying to make his body unstiffen.

And then he felt something pushing against his anus. Immediately he knew exactly what it was yearning to enter him, and let out a horrified cry.

"[i]NO!![/i]"

He tried to jerk away, but Tonic held fast.

"NO!! NO!! NOT AGAIN, [i]PLEASE[/i]!!"

"Don't worry," said Tonic, his smile growing wider. "I'll be much gentler this time. I promise..."

"[i]NO!! P-PLEASE!![/i]" Dismal wailed, beginning to cry. Tonic picked up Dismal again and set him on his back in the middle of the bed. Looming over the younger hedgehog, he grabbed his legs and looped them around his hips, his appendage now pushing harder against his pet's opening. The pet in question cried even harder and began to squirm.

"There'll be none of that now, pet," said Tonic, pinning down both of Dismal's arms.

"[i]NO!! NOOOO!![/i]"

Without warning, Tonic leaned forward and planted his mouth on Dismal's, sticking his tongue inside. The gray hedgehog let out a loud, muffled gasp and stiffened, his pale blue eyes staring at Tonic in pure shock. The older hedgehog continued to French-kiss his pet, running his tongue over the other's tongue and on the roof of his mouth. Dismal was hardly moving, except for his sides, which were heaving erratically. Tonic slowly let go of his victim's skinny arms, and they stayed where they were. The older hedgehog then moved his hands to the latter's hitching sides, and began to massage.

"Just relax," said Tonic, his voice muffled. The gray hedgehog's breathing eventually slowed, and his eyes closed halfway. He moaned softly into the kiss.

"Good boy..."

Still massaging and Frenching, Tonic began to push in slowly. Dismal stiffened, his eyes now squeezed shut, but he did not cry out. The older hedgehog kept pushing, now moving his hands lower, where he resumed massaging.

"There you go...just relax..."

Taking his mouth off of his pet's, he continued pushing in.

"Aaoooww...! T-Tonic...!"

Tonic kept pushing in slowly, massaging the gray hedgehog's sides deeper.

"Wrap your arms around me," he said, in a firm but gentle voice.

"W-Wha..."

The yellow Sonic recolor gently grabbed Dismal's arms, holding them up. Realizing what his 'master' meant, the younger hedgehog hesitantly looped his arms over Tonic's back once the latter let go.

"Good boy..."

He still pushed in slowly, until he was all the way in. The helpless gray form quivered in pain against his body.

"Does it still hurt?"

Dismal nodded, his face quite flushed.

"It will stop hurting soon, I promise."

With that, Tonic began to thrust slowly. The gray hedgehog let out a yelp.

"Ooowwwwwww!!"

"Shhhh...it's okay..."

He kept going, his 'pet' clinging to him, shivering harder now.

"T-Tonic, it hurts...!!"

Tonic began to rub the gray hedgehog's back deeply, trying to soothe him. He whimpered and buried his face into his master's chest fur.

"It hurts," he whimpered, his voice somewhat muffled.

"I know it does," the older hedgehog said soothingly, still thrusting slowly. "Just try to relax..."

Instead, Dismal began to cry again, his face still pressed against Tonic's chest. This made the older hedgehog stop thrusting.

"Pet?" he asked. "Why are you crying?"

"B-Because it h-hurts," he whimpered. "I-It hurts a-and I'm s-scared...!"

The gray hedgehog was in pain from being stretched out by Tonic's appendage. The lack of lubrication wasn't helping either.

"You [i]do[/i] have a very tight little butt," said the older hedgehog, smiling seductively. He moved a hand down to his pet's rear and squeezed it lightly, making him gasp.

"Uhn! D-Don't...!"

But Tonic ignored Dismal and continued to lightly rub and squeeze the little hedgehog's soft, vulnerable hindquarters, making him whimper and cry harder.

"Don't!!"

"Shhhhhh...I'm just trying to make you relax..."

"I-It's not h-helping...!!"

Tonic squeezed again, harder this time. He then sat up, pulling the younger hedgehog with him, and resumed thrusting and groping, a bit rougher this time.

"N-No!! S-Stop it!! It hurts!!"

Tonic gave him a little spank, making him cry out.

"Quit whining," the older hedgehog said in a rather cold voice.

"B-But...!"

He was spanked again, harder this time.

"Quit. Whining. Now."

Tonic began to thrust harder, grunting slightly. This caused Dismal's rectum to cramp up painfully.

"I-It's c-cramping...!!"

"Get over it."

The gray hedgehog looked up at Tonic, eyes brimming with tears.

"Y-You said you w-were g-gonna be g-gentle this t-time...!"

This made Tonic stop. He looked down at his 'pet', suddenly feeling quite terrible.

"You're right," he said quietly, carefully pulling his appendage out of the younger hedgehog and laying him on the bed.

"I [i]was[/i] going to be more gentle...I'm sorry, my pet..."

Dismal sniffled and whimpered, his eyes still teary. Tonic reached down, but the younger hedgehog cringed away.

"Now now," said the older hedgehog in a soothing voice. "I'm not going to hurt you. I promise..."

He began to stroke his pet's quills, gently scratching and rubbing. The younger hedgehog sniffled again but did not resist. He was still shivering a bit.

"There, there...just relax, my pet..."

The gray hedgehog let out a quivering sigh and held still while his 'master' stroked him. It felt quite nice, to be honest. Soon he was purring softly, making Tonic smile.

"Isn't that sweet?" he said, starting to rub and scratch the back of Dismal's neck. He rolled onto his side, still purring, and Tonic rubbed deeper. He moved his other hand down to the younger hedgehog's stomach, and started to massage that.

"Oooooohh...T-Tonic..."

The older hedgehog laid down next to Dismal, and moved the hand that was rubbing the back of his neck over to his chest, and began rubbing that along with his stomach. Dismal purred louder now.

"Such a sweet pet," said Tonic, smiling. He continued rubbing the younger hedgehog's chest and stomach. However, it wasn't long before Tonic started moving his hand even lower.

"That's right...just relax..."

He placed his hand on Dismal's crotch, making him gasp.

"N-No, Tonic, please...!"

"Shh..."

He started to gently rub the gray hedgehog's lower regions.

"H-Haahh...haaaaooohhh...!"

"See?" Tonic said, still rubbing gently. "Doesn't this feel nice?"

"I-It's...u-uncomfortable...!"

"It is?"

The older hedgehog grinned and stuck a finger inside Dismal's genital pouch, tickling the opening that contained his appendage. He yelped in response, and began squirming.

"Oooooohhh...d-don't...!!"

But Tonic ignored him and continued tickling.

"You'll grow to like this. Trust me..."

The gray hedgehog wailed and kept squirming. Tonic decided to wrap his free arm around his pet's waist to hold him still. He then stuck his finger into the opening, pumping it in and out. Dismal yelped and stiffened up, his eyes growing wide.

"Ghh! Gghhhaaah!"

Tonic grinned and kept pumping. It wasn't long before he felt the head of his pet's appendage pushing against his finger, wanting to come out.

"Eager, are we?" said the older hedgehog, smiling seductively. He started tickling again, and Dismal let out a shuddering moan. He was soon panting, with his tongue hanging out like a dog.

"P-Please...I-I don't w-wanna..."

"Don't wanna what?" Tonic asked, smiling. He continued tickling the head of his pet's appendage. It pushed harder against Tonic's finger, and he pulled away slightly so it could move.

"Oh Chaos, i-it's moving...!!" Dismal whimpered, shivering harder.

"It wants to come out and play," said the older hedgehog seductively. He took his finger out of the gray hedgehog's genital pouch.

"I-I don't want it to...!"

"Too bad."

Tonic rolled his 'pet' onto his back, gently grabbed his hips and moved him so that his crotch was facing the older hedgehog.

"W-What are you doing...?!"

Tonic only smiled and leaned forward, towards his pet's crotch. He sensually licked the opening of the younger hedgehog's pouch.

"Nghhaaaahh!!"

"This just gets you so aroused, doesn't it?" Tonic asked in a sultry tone, licking again.

"N-No...!!"

Tonic only grinned.

"You are such a bad liar," he said teasingly. He licked again, and found his tongue brushing against the head of his pet's appendage.

"See? Your manhood agrees with me..."

"N-No!!"

Tonic moved his hands to Dismal's hindquarters and began groping that as he continued to lick.

"D-Don't, please!" the gray hedgehog cried out. His face was becoming quite red, and sweat was beginning to saturate his fur. He shivered.

"Have you ever heard of a blowjob before, pet?" Tonic asked, his voice slightly muffled.

"N-No..."

"Good," said Tonic. "Now I get show you firsthand."

He continued to lick the younger hedgehog's penis as it poked more out of its hole. Dismal shivered even harder, his loins soon beginning to burn with sexual heat again.

"S-Stop...!!"

"You know I'm not going to. Besides, you [i]love[/i] this. You're just trying too hard to deny it."

Dismal's penis was now almost completely erect. Tonic put his mouth on the tip, making the pet cry out.

"W-What are y-you d-d-doing?!"

The older hedgehog smiled seductively at his pet.

"This is a blowjob," he said, his voice muffled. He started to suck and lick the tip. The gray hedgehog gasped and shivered harder, more sweat pouring from his body. Tonic kept going.

"S-Stop it!! P-Please...!!"

As per usual, his 'master' ignored his pleas. It wasn't long before the older hedgehog had the entire thing in his mouth, starting to suck and lick harder.

"Ggghhhaaaaaagh!!"

"Mmmmmmm~"

Dismal arched hs back, shivering and sweating even more. He continued panting.

"T-T-Tuh-Tuh-Tuh..." he stammered, sounding breathless.

"Hmm?" said the older hedgehog, looking up at the younger.

"C-Cuh-Can't...."

As he continued to suck and lick, Tonic inserted a finger into his pet's anus, pumping and wriggling it around. The gray hedgehog moaned, too exhausted and aroused to speak. His tongue was still hanging out of his mouth, saliva dripping down his cheek and onto the bedsheets.

"You're going to cum soon, I can feel it," said the older hedgehog, his voice muffled. He sucked even harder, and wriggled and pumped his finger more quickly. He was finally rewarded by a small amount of semen squirting out of the gray hedgehog's penis, which he promptly swallowed.

"O-Ooooohhhh....!!"

More cum continued to squirt out at increasingly common intervals.

"Mmmm...tasty," said Tonic, smiling as he continued to suck and lick.

"O-Ooohhhh....!! Aaaaaahhhh!!"

At last, Dismal climaxed, crying out weakly. His fluids were greedily swallowed by Tonic. When the gray hedgehog was finished ejaculating, his master took his mouth off the former's appendage, smiling at him.

"How was that?" he asked seductively. The younger hedgehog was panting too hard to respond.

"Well, it's getting late. We should probably go to bed."

"B-Bed...?" Dismal managed to say. Tonic laughed.

"Of course! Where else would we sleep?"

"Uhh..."

The older hedgehog crawled over to the head of the bed, then grabbed his pet around the waist and pulled him over.

"Wahh!"

"Shhh," the older hedgehog soothed, gently laying the younger one next to him. He then pulled the covers over them both and laid down.

"Good night, my sweet pet," Tonic said, smiling as he wrapped his arms around the gray hedgehog and held him close. The embrace was oddly soothing.

"G-Good night...Tonic..."

The older hedgehog smiled and kissed his pet on the forehead, and then closed his eyes. After a few seconds, the younger hedgehog closed his eyes and fell asleep as well, snuggled against his master.
