Sonic looked worridley at me as I sat down on the floor with a hand on my head. Rouge and Knuckles were standing beside him. "He won't seem to tell any of us what's wrong" Knuckles said to Sonic as he took a step closer to me. "Not even Rouge." I put my hand against the wall and pushed myself up. Rouge looked at me concerned and walked over to me. She placed her hands on my shoulders.

"What's up Shadow?" Rouge asked half seductively beginning to massage my shoulders. I blushed of shock and Knuckles shook his fist in rage. "You BETTER not do anything!" He shouted as Sonic held him back. She put her face close to mine and pinned me against the wall. "Just tell me whats up" Rouge whispered in my ear massaging still. I wasn't looking at her, I was looking down silently. I didn't want any more problems filling my head.

I stared Sonic in the eyes for help and him, being Sonic, dragged Knuckles away. The complete opposite to what I wanted him to do. I sighed angrily. "Rouge..." I started but then she covered my mouth and pressed her lips against my cheek. Furious, I pushed her away and put my hand over my cheek in fear. "What was that for?!" I asked, shaking a bit. Rouge stroked my lips slowly while replying in a flirty tone "I know you want me." 

My face was cherry now, her lips so close to mine. I tried to push her away but I couldn't, my lips trembled in fear. I didn't know what I wanted, my heart knew this was wrong, but every other inch of me found it so right. She was the sexiest woman I had met, it would be wrong to waste the chance I have been given.

As our lips got in contact I pushed Rouge into my room and pinned her against the wall. She gasped and moaned as my tongue slid into her mouth and played with her own. My mind went numb as I grabbed her by the ass and fell back onto the bed. "Oh Shadow, I see your issues now" Rouge whispered stroking my lower reigon "you don't know how badly I've wanted you."

I couldn't control myself, I did it. I wasn't sure...Whether I was glad about it. She had Knuckles, or so I thought, turned out they were 'fuck buddies' and no more. After doing it, I just wanted more of her, I began to be attracted to Rouge. The Espio feelings may have just been a phase of confusion, or so I thought. 

We lied in the bed panting, naked. The covers over us, the lights off. No words came out of our mouths, just heavy breathing and moaning. I wasn't looking at her, I was looking down at my boxers which were now lying on the floor. Sitting up slowly, I grabbed my boxers and put them on looking down. 

"Shadow I have some boxes for you" A male voice said entering my room. I froze in embaressment as he placed the boxes down, not even looking at us. "You could've knocked" Rouge complained, causing the yellow eyed man to look up and asess the situation. He turned on the lights and first looked at Rouge in the bed then at me on the floor. He fell back in shock. "Oh..Shit sorry" Espio's face turned bright red as he looked at me then back at Rouge. "I didn't know people were so intimate on the ship" He laughed and fiddled with his fingers. 

"But I needed to ask for a favour from Ve-" Espio added but was butted in by Rouge who was annoyed. "Go" She requested grumpily. Espio rolled his eyes and got up slowly. I stood up and looked at him. "I'll speak outside yeah Espio?" I said as he walked away. Rouge threw a pillow at me. Hard. "That mother fucking pervert just walked in and you aren't mad?" I shook my head and she threw the other pillow at me "You should be!" But I wasn't, I was glad Espio saw us, I would've felt too guilty with myself if not. 
I put on my trousers and began buttoning up my shirt and sat on the bed next to Rouge. I placed my hand on her cheek and she smiled sweetly. "Sorry.." She whispered "I guess I was a bit embarressed, though I don't know why, that gay fuck must've been staring at you not me!" She giggled. Even though she seemed really adorable, I could not help but feel a bit bad for Espio. He seemed relaxed about the whole thing and he knew when privacy mattered, I was sure he wasn't going to tell anyone. 

"It's alright, however I refuse yes refuse to be 'fuck-buddy number 2'" I replied as I finished buttoning up my shirt. She began to get dressed herself. "Oh? Is that a offer to start a relationship?" She asked. I jumped and looked her in the eyes. I never had been in a relationship before, and I didn't really expect to be in one with Rouge. Those feelings for Espio were still there, but Espio didn't seem all that interested in me. I closed my eyes and nodded slowly. "I need to go see what Vector wanted!" I stood up and ran out the room.

Charmy was flying around Espio poking him "What's wrong Espio? Tell me tell me" Charmy was begging. Espio exhaled and looked up at me as I walked to him Charmy and Vector. "Ah Shadow, just the man I need" Vector shouted waving "Espio don't make Shadow feel awkward" I heard him then whisper bitterly to Espio. "Hi Shadow" Espio said smiling at me "I still feel like I have to thank you for sticking up for me." The pink chameleon looked down sheepishly and winked at me and I smiled back, my heart beginning to flutter even more madly.

"Well Shadow" Vector said, not even giving eye contact "remember we helped you when the meterex were here in space? Yeah we gave you a lift to Dark Oak's." Vector stood up and got out a fake chaos emerald "we need YOU to teleport us to Mobius." I blinked and looked over at Espio. "We have a mission" Espio casually added to Vector's request "I understand the fact you may not get back could be a problem but we don't mind you staying in the house." Charmy nodded to show he agreed with Espio. "We love company!" Charmy beemed grinning at me.

Rouge exited my room and walked to us. "What cha guys chatting about?" She asked standing next to me. She leaned her head on my shoulder. "Uh...That's none of your business Rouge" Vector answered looking up at Rouge, who frowned to his response. "You shouldn't be talking like that to Shadow's girlfriend I have a right to know!" Rouge shouted to Vector. Vector and Charmy stared at me but I stared straight ahead, at Espio. He was looking back and fourth between me and Rouge, I guessed his mind was full on me and Rouge, after seeing us together. In a room. Pretty much naked. 

"Rouge you can come if you want" Espio said looking at the table "Can't she Vector? Can't leave a man's lady alone you always use to tell me that." Vector raised an eyebrow to Espio's change of words and nodded a bit. "Sure I guess, but...I ain't letting both of you stay for free" Vector came out with. "They can help us do some missions!" Charmy shouted "that would be so cool! Shadow is so...awesome!" Rouge looked up at me and I looked over at Espio who was fiddling with his fingers. 

Espio seemed sad, worried and I could tell he was thinking about a lot. After the deal was in place and everyone had left the room but me and Espio I sat by him and crossed my arms. "Is what happened bothering you?" I asked bluntly, catching Espio out in his daydream. He looked a me a bit scared. "...W-What do you mean?" Espio asked back pausing for a moment "......Oh! you mean that no I don't mind that, people have intercourse all the time I just didn't expect it to happen at all here for some reason." I stared blankly at him "then what is it?" The topaz eyed male looked down and continued fiddling with his fingers.

"Well, after seeing you and Rouge made me realise that when we go back..." Espio stopped for a minuet and sighed happily "what am I saying? It's nothing really I'm so stupid! Sorry to have made you feel concerned Shadow." He got up and bit his lip looking down, I could tell it was affecting him a lot but I wasn't able to do anything. "But...I'm glad you're coming" Espio honestly told me "Vector keeps on calling things gay and he doesn't seem to listen to me on how he is insulting me and so many others...However...When you stuck up for me...He...Hasn't said a thing like that since..." My ears perked up a bit when I saw Espio close his eyes and mutter "I need someone like you when monitor isn't around..." 

Espio gasped and covered his mouth. "Shit! I meant..." He blushed and looked down. Nervously, I placed a hand on his shoulder and looked away. "I don't know why your so embarressed, you didn't say anything" I reassured, causing Espio to smile a bit. A blush began to appear on my face after realising how happy I had made the chameleon. "I can't wait til tomorrow eh? Gonna be working together, that'll be wicked" I decleared standing up and looking out the window "I'm no detective though, but I may be able to catch th-"

Espio stood up and closed his eyes tightly. "You'll be great Shadow, just great." He smiled at me, but his eyes told me it was forced. Spinning around, he shouted "gotta go!" And was about to walk away. Before I could even stop myself, I grabbed his wrist and he froze. I looked at the side of his cheek and it had turned bright red, but the rest of him seemed petrified. Petrified of me. "Sorry I didn't mean to scare you" I whispered letting go "I just...I don't know, speak tomorrow." Espio stood there silently and nodded. "Of course...You wouldn't do that" He whispered quietly as he dashed off, leaving me a confused little hedgehog.

Rouge walked up to me as I starred at Espio run away. I was confused, what wouldn't I do? Who was monitor? Espio's boyfriend prehaps? Rouge pinned me to the wall. I was offguard. "Time for round two" She said while moaning. I smirked and grabbed her by the hips. "I'll win this round" I replied kissing her lips. Even though Rouge was giving me all the pleasure I could ask for...

Something didn't feel right.
