  "writing": "To say that Sonic was irresponsible didn't even cut it.\n\nHe'd gotten himself wounded more than his fair share of times because of his inability to follow plans. He'd nearly gotten himself killed during one of his attempts at saving the world because of his ineptitude at noticing his surroundings.\n\n\"Hey!\"\n\nAnd he was putting his life on the line once more by pranking Shadow the Hedgehog at one o'clock in the morning.\n\nThat obnoxious bastard seriously needed a new hobby.\n\nHis ears ringed as he pulled the curtain closed. And his body froze as the knocks rained on his window.\n\n\"Oh come on! You can't leave me outside!\"\n\n\"[i]Can and will,[/i]\" he thought as he got to his bed and closed his eyes. He was not taking this. Not this late at night.\n\n\"Shads, come on! Let me in! I didn't mean it!\"\n\nBut of course, you were talking about the \"Fastest Thing Alive\". The one person who kept bugging you long after anyone else would have upped and left. The one person who didn't know what giving up meant.\n\nHe got up with a growl, and ripped the curtains back to glare at the blue idiot. He hadn't even moved, that asshole.\n\n\"Give me one good reason why I shouldn't throw you off,\" he hissed, watching that smile turn into a scowl.\n\n\"Nice to see you, too, Shads,\" came the answer as the speedster actually tried to make his way inside from the top of the window. Who did that idiot think he was? Didn't he know that it wouldn't work?\n\nApparently not.\n\n\"Uh… Little help here?\" was asked with a chuckle as a gloved hand hung onto the edge.\n\nIdiotic daredevil.\n\n\"Why should I?\"\n\nThe look he was given could have rivaled one of his own.\n\n\"Look, not because I can land a five story drop that I want to,\" came the snap as he watched the speedster swing himself and grab the ledge with his second hand. \"Help me up.\"\n\nHelp him up? He seemed to be doing that very well by himself.\n\n\"After waking me up in the middle of the night the same day I come back from a mission. You're on your own, Faker,\" he stated as he began to close the window.\n\n\"Oh come on! I destroyed my schedule for this! Could you stop being a jerk for five minutes? It's our anniversary!\"\n\nOnly to swing it open to stare at Sonic as he struggled to get on the ledge.\n\n\"Anniversary?\"\n\nAnd plop right back to return the stare as blue ears flattened.\n\n\"Don't you dare tell me you forgot, mister Ultimate Life Form,\" was snapped right at him, making him growl.\n\n\"Do you really want to play that card when you're hanging fifty feet above ground and your hands are within my reach?\"\n\nHe watched as Sonic began moving erratically.\n\n\"Alright, fine! I'm sorry! Help me up, my arms are cramping!\"\n\nAnd he grabbed onto peach arms with a sigh, before pulling the blue hedgehog in. Of course he hadn't forgotten. It was like asking if Amy had finally gotten over her enthusiasm for the blue idiot. Not going to happen.\n\nBut why was it so important? Sonic barely cared for his own birthday, if the last attempt at a surprise party was anything to go by. So why did the fact that Shadow had been with Sonic for a year suddenly mattered?\n\nHe rolled his eyes. Probably something only Sonic would know.\n\n\"Thanks,\" he heard as he closed the window and the curtains, before heading to the lamp. No need for the entire world to see this.\n\n\"So what's the big deal?\" he asked as he sat, earning himself a scowl.\n\n\"Amy kind of insisted on it, and she wanted to make sure that we did something on our anniversary. I'm an hour and a half late, now, though. She's gonna yell when she knows,\" came the sigh as green eyes looked at the clock.\n\nHe raised an eyebrow, \"Don't you mean \"if\"?\"\n\nA chuckle.\n\n\"You know nothing gets pass her when it comes to us,\" was said before the smile. The smile that had him looking at the blue one as he picked through his quills.\n\n\"Which reminds me, I should give you this before I forget,\" Sonic added before grinning as he pulled something out.\n\nAnd put it into Shadow's hand.\n\n\"Happy Anniversary,\" was said softly as he took in the gift. A small wooden box. No bigger than his palm. And with a slit along it like a jewelry box.\n\nHe snorted. Really? Did he look like a person who wore jewelry? He wasn't a girl, for Chaos -\n\nSonic took a step forward with a tentative smile.\n\n\"You like it?\" he started as he watched Shadow slowly pull the necklace out, and trying to calm his racing heart. This was not good for his nerves. \"I made sure it was small enough to carry in your glove, and Tails helped me out with the colors. Took us forever to get them right, too. But I think it was worth it. Of course, it's not like having her back, but…\"\n\nHe fell silent as the locket closed with a snap, and red eyes turned to him. Oh Chaos. He was dead. He made a bad choice. Where was that window, again?\n\nHe flinched as he hit the wall with a thud, and gasped as tan lips found his. What the…\n\nHe wrenched himself away.\n\n\"Shadow?\"\n\n\"You talk too much,\" came the breathless reply as trembling fingers slowly laid themselves upon his sides. And those lips stole a quick kiss.\n\n\"You bastard,\" he heard as that forehead laid on his. \"You stupid, idiotic, selfless, caring bastard.\"\n\nAnd he felt the edges of his mouth twitch.\n\n\"You're welcome?\" he tried, only to feel Shadow get closer. And those hands trying to slip onto his back. Oh boy… Did he have to be this close?\n\n\"I hate you, you asshole,\" was breathed as that body gave a shiver while coming in contact with his. \"I really, really hate you.\"\n\nHe forced a smirk as he felt his fur stand on end. And the irresistible urge to plant his lips on tan ones that was making him chew his inner cheek. This was a bad. This was really, really bad.\n\n\"Really?\" he managed, trying to curb his sudden desire by pressing his cheek to tan. Only to have a shiver run down his back as he heard the tiniest of gasps.\n\n\"Do I need to prove it?\" came the growl. Which vibrated against his chest all the way up to his throat. If that was meant to be threatening…\n\n\"Try me,\" he taunted. Before a set of lips collided with his.\n\nAnd his world caught fire.\n\nOh gosh, this felt like his first kiss all over again.\n\nHe whimpered quietly as they pulled away. Over already? Dang.\n\n\"Is that proof enough?\" was breathed onto his lips, forcing him to bite them. Just another one, please.\n\n\"Not sure.\"\n\nA sigh. One that was supposed to sound exasperated, but betrayed anticipation. Nervousness.\n\n\"You're impossible.\"\n\nAnd that contradicted everything Shadow was currently saying.\n\nHe smirked, \"You wouldn't have me any other way.\"\n\n\"No. I probably wouldn't,\" was whispered before the kiss. And the swipe of heat along his lips.\n\nIt took everything he had not to moan.\n\nAnd open his mouth without shuddering at the careful intrusion. When had Shadow become this affectionate? Had the gift really affected him that much?\n\n\"A – A simple \"thank you\" would have been enough, you know,\" he exhaled once his lips were freed, trying to control the quivers running through his body.\n\nPointless. His ear had just been found by a pair of trembling lips that nuzzled it gently. And his back had been reached by hesitant fingers that carefully traced the overly sensitive skin.\n\n\"I don't think it would be enough,\" was whispered into it before wet warmth fleetingly pressed against the rim of his ear. He choked back a moan. \"Wouldn't be enough at all.\"\n\n\"Show me, then,\" he breathed as his fingers tried to dig into the wall. He was losing it. He was losing his cool and he knew it. This was so unlike him. He had to salvage what was left of his brain before -\n\nBefore that tongue slowly traced his ear.\n\nAnd those hands left his back to caress his sides.\n\nA moan left his lips before he could stop it.\n\n\"Sh-Shadow,\" he tried as the gentle, asking touches became slightly firmer. As that tongue slowly traced its way down to his cheek, and lower.\n\n\"Yes?\" was whispered as that black body got as close as it could. Didn't matter if Shadow was usually colder than him at this point. He could feel his mind start to boil. He could feel his brain shut down with a sizzle. He could feel his body start to tremble with need, with want.\n\nHe felt a thumb gently press against his head, and he let it tilt. Only to bite his lips with a moan as tan carefully laid themselves on his neck, and a tongue gave a lick.\n\nOh Chaos.\n\n\"Maybe – maybe we should…\" he tried, only to gasp as a hand brushed over his rear. Holy… Already? Dang.\n\n\"Move?\" was breathed right onto his neck before the small kiss, and those eyes stared. Intensely, gratefully.\n\nIf he hadn't known that Shadow was thankful for his gift, this would have clinched it.\n\nHe forced himself to sallow before he smiled shakily, \"Yeah.\"\n\nAnd a hand slipped past his rear to reach one of his legs, and pressed on the skin gently. Was he really…?\n\nTan lips brushed against his ear.\n\n\"Put them around me. I'll carry you.\"\n\nA shiver crawled up his spine and bubbled at the base of his skull. He was. He was being asked to give in. He was being asked to trust the black one.\n\nHis left leg lifted without his consent, and circled the black hip. Before his right was securely lifted off the ground, and his lips met tan.\n\nHis eyes closed with a moan.\n\nBefore jerking away with a shout as they began move. And came in contact with heat.\n\nShadow was already… How could he be so calm?\n\n\"You'll be the death of me, Faker,\" he heard as he watched the black one try to control his moans. So he was also losing it?\n\nHe smirked slightly, and reached between them.\n\n\"Ah!\" was shouted as they landed on the bed with a thud, and those eyes began to open and close in time with heavy pants.\n\n\"L-Let go,\" came the hiss as he chuckled. No way.\n\n\"Say my name,\" he taunted as he gave a slight squeeze. And Shadow clearly bit back a moan before sighing.\n\nWell, trying to.\n\n\"Faker...\"\n\n\"Ah, ah, ah, say it,\" he continued before feeling a hand on his cheek, and lips on the other side of his neck.\n\n\"Sonic,\" was breathed onto it before they made contact. And fingers reached for his back.\n\nThat arched before he could stop it.\n\n\"Shadow,\" he whispered as he let go of the black one's heat, and let himself go lax. He lost. There was no way he was regaining control over himself at this rate. Shadow was intent on it.\n\nHe gave a breath as that black body lifted, and wriggled as his shoes and socks were taken off. Before a hand started tracing along his leg, and lips moved away from his neck to follow it. All the way up to…\n\n\"Oh Chaos,\" he breathed as he shivered, and tried to keep his body flat against the bed. If Shadow dared…\n\nThe shout ripped his throat as his hips lifted at the swipe of slick heat. Never mind.\n\n\"Should I?\" he heard as he tried to get his breathing under control, and look at the black hedgehog. His fist clenched at the cheeky smirk, before falling loose at the look. The hesitant, questioning look.\n\nHe smirked back.\n\n\"You je~rk!\" he half-moaned as fingertips ran along sensitive skin, forcing his eyes to roll back with a groan. Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.\n\n\"Shadow,\" was ripped out of his throat before wet warmth gently brushed along his erection, and feeling his fingers tangle with the sheets. He had to get a grip on himself. He had to, at least stay control of himself. Just so he didn't…\n\n\"Shadow please.\"\n\nBeg. He bit his lip. Too late.\n\n\"As you wish,\" was all he heard before his world died. Before his vision went black.\n\nAnd all he could do was feel.\n\nFeel that mouth surrounding him from every side, and leave him to burn. Feel that tongue trace him gently, carefully. Feel those hums that left him to shiver, to grip onto whatever he could reach as sparks of pleasure ran through his entire body.\n\nDidn't matter. Didn't matter if he had completely lost it. It was Shadow. And that was all that mattered.\n\nHe gave a quiet whimper as he was freed, and shivered as that black body slowly nestled against him while lips trailed kisses along his chest.\n\n\"I love you.\"\n\nHe felt his heart give a thud as hands carefully took his to remove his gloves, forcing him to look at Shadow. And the half-smile he'd learnt to recognize as a sign that the black hedgehog was happy.\n\n\"I love the way you move,\" he heard before those lips lodged themselves against his neck.\n\nAnd licked.\n\n\"The way you taste.\"\n\nHe shivered.\n\n\"And the way you call my name,\" he barely heard as he was encased in warmth, and fingers played with short fur.\n\n\"I love you, Sonic,\" was whispered before the kiss. The loving, warming kiss that made his brain short circuit, and his heart beat faster still.\n\n\"I love you, too, Shadow,\" he managed to breathe once his lips were freed, unable to help the smile. Who cared if he lost it? Who cared if he gave in this once? Who else would know?\n\nHe shuddered as that tongue gently traced his lips before slowly diving into his mouth. He gasped as it hesitantly sought his out, and carefully guide it into that wet cavern. And he moaned as it was delicately sucked upon. He didn't. He didn't care at all.\n\n\"Let me,\" he heard once his lips were freed. And kisses rained on his face. \"Let me show you.\"\n\nHe tried to smile, \"Don't hold back.\"\n\nAnd watched those eyes light up as a hand landed on his cheek.\n\n\"I'll try,\" was whispered as he leaned into the touch, and kissed the black hand.\n\nBefore gasping as cold fingers reached for his entrance. Oh Chaos. Already? When had Shadow…?\n\nHe swallowed as a lone finger slipped in, and started to stretch him. Carefully, gently. With all the tenderness of a lover.\n\nBefore the slight strike.\n\n\"Ah!\" he shouted as he lifted from the bed, before flopping right back down. He knew this wasn't their first time, there was no way it was.\n\nBut it still felt like one.\n\n\"Shadow,\" he moaned as that second finger slipped in, and wriggled in a scissoring motion. Stretched. He was being opened, prepared for an intrusion, and he liked it. His heart was pounding in his chest. His whole body was shivering in anticipation. And his hazed-over mind gave him only one thought.\n\nHe wanted it.\n\nHe pressed his lips against tan as those fingers slowly left. He trembled as something a lot hotter neared him. Oh Chaos…\n\n\"Tell me if it hurts,\" he heard.\n\nBefore slowly being pried open, and feeling that black body shudder over him. It didn't hurt. It didn't hurt at all. It only felt hot. And that it was getting hotter.\n\n\"Shadow,\" he breathed, before gasping as it dove deeper. And deeper.\n\n\"Sonic.\"\n\nAnd find the same spot those fingers had found.\n\n\"Ah!\" he shouted, eyes widening, but unable to see. Unable to see as Shadow began to rock his hips, repeating his name over and over.\n\nHe panted as he tried to clear his vision. And moaned as he fleetingly saw Shadow. A blushing Shadow he only saw when the situation was reversed. They were equals in this, weren't they?\n\nHis ears flicked at a groan. And his mind blanked as the pace picked up. Didn't matter. Didn't matter at all. They were together. That was all.\n\nHis mouth was covered with a moan. Which was forced out of his lungs as the pace picked up once more.\n\nAnd pleasure started to climb.\n\nSpark.\n\nAfter spark.\n\nAfter spark.\n\nBliss. He'd reached heaven, he was sure.\n\n\"Ah!\" he screamed as his lips were freed, and he heard the groan. The groan that had shivers running up his spine as he was filled to the hilt.\n\nHis whole body shook. And his ears drooped tiredly.\n\n\"Thank you.\"\n\nBefore he forced them up at the whisper, and smile weakly at the one over him.\n\n\"You're welcome, Shads,\" he managed, grinning at the kiss on his cheek.\n\n\"Stay with me.\"\n\nAnd feel his exhaustion at the whisper. The whisper that had him turning to the one who'd moved away to avoid collapsing on him.\n\nHe smiled comfortingly, and slipped into Shadow's embrace while listening to the pounding heart. It sounded so much like his.\n\n\"Forevermore, Shadow. Forevermore.\"",
  "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<span style='word-wrap: break-word;'>To say that Sonic was irresponsible didn&#039;t even cut it.<br /><br />He&#039;d gotten himself wounded more than his fair share of times because of his inability to follow plans. He&#039;d nearly gotten himself killed during one of his attempts at saving the world because of his ineptitude at noticing his surroundings.<br /><br />&quot;Hey!&quot;<br /><br />And he was putting his life on the line once more by pranking Shadow the Hedgehog at one o&#039;clock in the morning.<br /><br />That obnoxious bastard seriously needed a new hobby.<br /><br />His ears ringed as he pulled the curtain closed. And his body froze as the knocks rained on his window.<br /><br />&quot;Oh come on! You can&#039;t leave me outside!&quot;<br /><br />&quot;<em>Can and will,</em>&quot; he thought as he got to his bed and closed his eyes. He was not taking this. Not this late at night.<br /><br />&quot;Shads, come on! Let me in! I didn&#039;t mean it!&quot;<br /><br />But of course, you were talking about the &quot;Fastest Thing Alive&quot;. The one person who kept bugging you long after anyone else would have upped and left. The one person who didn&#039;t know what giving up meant.<br /><br />He got up with a growl, and ripped the curtains back to glare at the blue idiot. He hadn&#039;t even moved, that asshole.<br /><br />&quot;Give me one good reason why I shouldn&#039;t throw you off,&quot; he hissed, watching that smile turn into a scowl.<br /><br />&quot;Nice to see you, too, Shads,&quot; came the answer as the speedster actually tried to make his way inside from the top of the window. Who did that idiot think he was? Didn&#039;t he know that it wouldn&#039;t work?<br /><br />Apparently not.<br /><br />&quot;Uh&hellip; Little help here?&quot; was asked with a chuckle as a gloved hand hung onto the edge.<br /><br />Idiotic daredevil.<br /><br />&quot;Why should I?&quot;<br /><br />The look he was given could have rivaled one of his own.<br /><br />&quot;Look, not because I can land a five story drop that I want to,&quot; came the snap as he watched the speedster swing himself and grab the ledge with his second hand. &quot;Help me up.&quot;<br /><br />Help him up? He seemed to be doing that very well by himself.<br /><br />&quot;After waking me up in the middle of the night the same day I come back from a mission. You&#039;re on your own, Faker,&quot; he stated as he began to close the window.<br /><br />&quot;Oh come on! I destroyed my schedule for this! Could you stop being a jerk for five minutes? It&#039;s our anniversary!&quot;<br /><br />Only to swing it open to stare at Sonic as he struggled to get on the ledge.<br /><br />&quot;Anniversary?&quot;<br /><br />And plop right back to return the stare as blue ears flattened.<br /><br />&quot;Don&#039;t you dare tell me you forgot, mister Ultimate Life Form,&quot; was snapped right at him, making him growl.<br /><br />&quot;Do you really want to play that card when you&#039;re hanging fifty feet above ground and your hands are within my reach?&quot;<br /><br />He watched as Sonic began moving erratically.<br /><br />&quot;Alright, fine! I&#039;m sorry! Help me up, my arms are cramping!&quot;<br /><br />And he grabbed onto peach arms with a sigh, before pulling the blue hedgehog in. Of course he hadn&#039;t forgotten. It was like asking if Amy had finally gotten over her enthusiasm for the blue idiot. Not going to happen.<br /><br />But why was it so important? Sonic barely cared for his own birthday, if the last attempt at a surprise party was anything to go by. So why did the fact that Shadow had been with Sonic for a year suddenly mattered?<br /><br />He rolled his eyes. Probably something only Sonic would know.<br /><br />&quot;Thanks,&quot; he heard as he closed the window and the curtains, before heading to the lamp. No need for the entire world to see this.<br /><br />&quot;So what&#039;s the big deal?&quot; he asked as he sat, earning himself a scowl.<br /><br />&quot;Amy kind of insisted on it, and she wanted to make sure that we did something on our anniversary. I&#039;m an hour and a half late, now, though. She&#039;s gonna yell when she knows,&quot; came the sigh as green eyes looked at the clock.<br /><br />He raised an eyebrow, &quot;Don&#039;t you mean &quot;if&quot;?&quot;<br /><br />A chuckle.<br /><br />&quot;You know nothing gets pass her when it comes to us,&quot; was said before the smile. The smile that had him looking at the blue one as he picked through his quills.<br /><br />&quot;Which reminds me, I should give you this before I forget,&quot; Sonic added before grinning as he pulled something out.<br /><br />And put it into Shadow&#039;s hand.<br /><br />&quot;Happy Anniversary,&quot; was said softly as he took in the gift. A small wooden box. No bigger than his palm. And with a slit along it like a jewelry box.<br /><br />He snorted. Really? Did he look like a person who wore jewelry? He wasn&#039;t a girl, for Chaos -<br /><br />Sonic took a step forward with a tentative smile.<br /><br />&quot;You like it?&quot; he started as he watched Shadow slowly pull the necklace out, and trying to calm his racing heart. This was not good for his nerves. &quot;I made sure it was small enough to carry in your glove, and Tails helped me out with the colors. Took us forever to get them right, too. But I think it was worth it. Of course, it&#039;s not like having her back, but&hellip;&quot;<br /><br />He fell silent as the locket closed with a snap, and red eyes turned to him. Oh Chaos. He was dead. He made a bad choice. Where was that window, again?<br /><br />He flinched as he hit the wall with a thud, and gasped as tan lips found his. What the&hellip;<br /><br />He wrenched himself away.<br /><br />&quot;Shadow?&quot;<br /><br />&quot;You talk too much,&quot; came the breathless reply as trembling fingers slowly laid themselves upon his sides. And those lips stole a quick kiss.<br /><br />&quot;You bastard,&quot; he heard as that forehead laid on his. &quot;You stupid, idiotic, selfless, caring bastard.&quot;<br /><br />And he felt the edges of his mouth twitch.<br /><br />&quot;You&#039;re welcome?&quot; he tried, only to feel Shadow get closer. And those hands trying to slip onto his back. Oh boy&hellip; Did he have to be this close?<br /><br />&quot;I hate you, you asshole,&quot; was breathed as that body gave a shiver while coming in contact with his. &quot;I really, really hate you.&quot;<br /><br />He forced a smirk as he felt his fur stand on end. And the irresistible urge to plant his lips on tan ones that was making him chew his inner cheek. This was a bad. This was really, really bad.<br /><br />&quot;Really?&quot; he managed, trying to curb his sudden desire by pressing his cheek to tan. Only to have a shiver run down his back as he heard the tiniest of gasps.<br /><br />&quot;Do I need to prove it?&quot; came the growl. Which vibrated against his chest all the way up to his throat. If that was meant to be threatening&hellip;<br /><br />&quot;Try me,&quot; he taunted. Before a set of lips collided with his.<br /><br />And his world caught fire.<br /><br />Oh gosh, this felt like his first kiss all over again.<br /><br />He whimpered quietly as they pulled away. Over already? Dang.<br /><br />&quot;Is that proof enough?&quot; was breathed onto his lips, forcing him to bite them. Just another one, please.<br /><br />&quot;Not sure.&quot;<br /><br />A sigh. One that was supposed to sound exasperated, but betrayed anticipation. Nervousness.<br /><br />&quot;You&#039;re impossible.&quot;<br /><br />And that contradicted everything Shadow was currently saying.<br /><br />He smirked, &quot;You wouldn&#039;t have me any other way.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;No. I probably wouldn&#039;t,&quot; was whispered before the kiss. And the swipe of heat along his lips.<br /><br />It took everything he had not to moan.<br /><br />And open his mouth without shuddering at the careful intrusion. When had Shadow become this affectionate? Had the gift really affected him that much?<br /><br />&quot;A &ndash; A simple &quot;thank you&quot; would have been enough, you know,&quot; he exhaled once his lips were freed, trying to control the quivers running through his body.<br /><br />Pointless. His ear had just been found by a pair of trembling lips that nuzzled it gently. And his back had been reached by hesitant fingers that carefully traced the overly sensitive skin.<br /><br />&quot;I don&#039;t think it would be enough,&quot; was whispered into it before wet warmth fleetingly pressed against the rim of his ear. He choked back a moan. &quot;Wouldn&#039;t be enough at all.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Show me, then,&quot; he breathed as his fingers tried to dig into the wall. He was losing it. He was losing his cool and he knew it. This was so unlike him. He had to salvage what was left of his brain before -<br /><br />Before that tongue slowly traced his ear.<br /><br />And those hands left his back to caress his sides.<br /><br />A moan left his lips before he could stop it.<br /><br />&quot;Sh-Shadow,&quot; he tried as the gentle, asking touches became slightly firmer. As that tongue slowly traced its way down to his cheek, and lower.<br /><br />&quot;Yes?&quot; was whispered as that black body got as close as it could. Didn&#039;t matter if Shadow was usually colder than him at this point. He could feel his mind start to boil. He could feel his brain shut down with a sizzle. He could feel his body start to tremble with need, with want.<br /><br />He felt a thumb gently press against his head, and he let it tilt. Only to bite his lips with a moan as tan carefully laid themselves on his neck, and a tongue gave a lick.<br /><br />Oh Chaos.<br /><br />&quot;Maybe &ndash; maybe we should&hellip;&quot; he tried, only to gasp as a hand brushed over his rear. Holy&hellip; Already? Dang.<br /><br />&quot;Move?&quot; was breathed right onto his neck before the small kiss, and those eyes stared. Intensely, gratefully.<br /><br />If he hadn&#039;t known that Shadow was thankful for his gift, this would have clinched it.<br /><br />He forced himself to sallow before he smiled shakily, &quot;Yeah.&quot;<br /><br />And a hand slipped past his rear to reach one of his legs, and pressed on the skin gently. Was he really&hellip;?<br /><br />Tan lips brushed against his ear.<br /><br />&quot;Put them around me. I&#039;ll carry you.&quot;<br /><br />A shiver crawled up his spine and bubbled at the base of his skull. He was. He was being asked to give in. He was being asked to trust the black one.<br /><br />His left leg lifted without his consent, and circled the black hip. Before his right was securely lifted off the ground, and his lips met tan.<br /><br />His eyes closed with a moan.<br /><br />Before jerking away with a shout as they began move. And came in contact with heat.<br /><br />Shadow was already&hellip; How could he be so calm?<br /><br />&quot;You&#039;ll be the death of me, Faker,&quot; he heard as he watched the black one try to control his moans. So he was also losing it?<br /><br />He smirked slightly, and reached between them.<br /><br />&quot;Ah!&quot; was shouted as they landed on the bed with a thud, and those eyes began to open and close in time with heavy pants.<br /><br />&quot;L-Let go,&quot; came the hiss as he chuckled. No way.<br /><br />&quot;Say my name,&quot; he taunted as he gave a slight squeeze. And Shadow clearly bit back a moan before sighing.<br /><br />Well, trying to.<br /><br />&quot;Faker...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Ah, ah, ah, say it,&quot; he continued before feeling a hand on his cheek, and lips on the other side of his neck.<br /><br />&quot;Sonic,&quot; was breathed onto it before they made contact. And fingers reached for his back.<br /><br />That arched before he could stop it.<br /><br />&quot;Shadow,&quot; he whispered as he let go of the black one&#039;s heat, and let himself go lax. He lost. There was no way he was regaining control over himself at this rate. Shadow was intent on it.<br /><br />He gave a breath as that black body lifted, and wriggled as his shoes and socks were taken off. Before a hand started tracing along his leg, and lips moved away from his neck to follow it. All the way up to&hellip;<br /><br />&quot;Oh Chaos,&quot; he breathed as he shivered, and tried to keep his body flat against the bed. If Shadow dared&hellip;<br /><br />The shout ripped his throat as his hips lifted at the swipe of slick heat. Never mind.<br /><br />&quot;Should I?&quot; he heard as he tried to get his breathing under control, and look at the black hedgehog. His fist clenched at the cheeky smirk, before falling loose at the look. The hesitant, questioning look.<br /><br />He smirked back.<br /><br />&quot;You je~rk!&quot; he half-moaned as fingertips ran along sensitive skin, forcing his eyes to roll back with a groan. Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.<br /><br />&quot;Shadow,&quot; was ripped out of his throat before wet warmth gently brushed along his erection, and feeling his fingers tangle with the sheets. He had to get a grip on himself. He had to, at least stay control of himself. Just so he didn&#039;t&hellip;<br /><br />&quot;Shadow please.&quot;<br /><br />Beg. He bit his lip. Too late.<br /><br />&quot;As you wish,&quot; was all he heard before his world died. Before his vision went black.<br /><br />And all he could do was feel.<br /><br />Feel that mouth surrounding him from every side, and leave him to burn. Feel that tongue trace him gently, carefully. Feel those hums that left him to shiver, to grip onto whatever he could reach as sparks of pleasure ran through his entire body.<br /><br />Didn&#039;t matter. Didn&#039;t matter if he had completely lost it. It was Shadow. And that was all that mattered.<br /><br />He gave a quiet whimper as he was freed, and shivered as that black body slowly nestled against him while lips trailed kisses along his chest.<br /><br />&quot;I love you.&quot;<br /><br />He felt his heart give a thud as hands carefully took his to remove his gloves, forcing him to look at Shadow. And the half-smile he&#039;d learnt to recognize as a sign that the black hedgehog was happy.<br /><br />&quot;I love the way you move,&quot; he heard before those lips lodged themselves against his neck.<br /><br />And licked.<br /><br />&quot;The way you taste.&quot;<br /><br />He shivered.<br /><br />&quot;And the way you call my name,&quot; he barely heard as he was encased in warmth, and fingers played with short fur.<br /><br />&quot;I love you, Sonic,&quot; was whispered before the kiss. The loving, warming kiss that made his brain short circuit, and his heart beat faster still.<br /><br />&quot;I love you, too, Shadow,&quot; he managed to breathe once his lips were freed, unable to help the smile. Who cared if he lost it? Who cared if he gave in this once? Who else would know?<br /><br />He shuddered as that tongue gently traced his lips before slowly diving into his mouth. He gasped as it hesitantly sought his out, and carefully guide it into that wet cavern. And he moaned as it was delicately sucked upon. He didn&#039;t. He didn&#039;t care at all.<br /><br />&quot;Let me,&quot; he heard once his lips were freed. And kisses rained on his face. &quot;Let me show you.&quot;<br /><br />He tried to smile, &quot;Don&#039;t hold back.&quot;<br /><br />And watched those eyes light up as a hand landed on his cheek.<br /><br />&quot;I&#039;ll try,&quot; was whispered as he leaned into the touch, and kissed the black hand.<br /><br />Before gasping as cold fingers reached for his entrance. Oh Chaos. Already? When had Shadow&hellip;?<br /><br />He swallowed as a lone finger slipped in, and started to stretch him. Carefully, gently. With all the tenderness of a lover.<br /><br />Before the slight strike.<br /><br />&quot;Ah!&quot; he shouted as he lifted from the bed, before flopping right back down. He knew this wasn&#039;t their first time, there was no way it was.<br /><br />But it still felt like one.<br /><br />&quot;Shadow,&quot; he moaned as that second finger slipped in, and wriggled in a scissoring motion. Stretched. He was being opened, prepared for an intrusion, and he liked it. His heart was pounding in his chest. His whole body was shivering in anticipation. And his hazed-over mind gave him only one thought.<br /><br />He wanted it.<br /><br />He pressed his lips against tan as those fingers slowly left. He trembled as something a lot hotter neared him. Oh Chaos&hellip;<br /><br />&quot;Tell me if it hurts,&quot; he heard.<br /><br />Before slowly being pried open, and feeling that black body shudder over him. It didn&#039;t hurt. It didn&#039;t hurt at all. It only felt hot. And that it was getting hotter.<br /><br />&quot;Shadow,&quot; he breathed, before gasping as it dove deeper. And deeper.<br /><br />&quot;Sonic.&quot;<br /><br />And find the same spot those fingers had found.<br /><br />&quot;Ah!&quot; he shouted, eyes widening, but unable to see. Unable to see as Shadow began to rock his hips, repeating his name over and over.<br /><br />He panted as he tried to clear his vision. And moaned as he fleetingly saw Shadow. A blushing Shadow he only saw when the situation was reversed. They were equals in this, weren&#039;t they?<br /><br />His ears flicked at a groan. And his mind blanked as the pace picked up. Didn&#039;t matter. Didn&#039;t matter at all. They were together. That was all.<br /><br />His mouth was covered with a moan. Which was forced out of his lungs as the pace picked up once more.<br /><br />And pleasure started to climb.<br /><br />Spark.<br /><br />After spark.<br /><br />After spark.<br /><br />Bliss. He&#039;d reached heaven, he was sure.<br /><br />&quot;Ah!&quot; he screamed as his lips were freed, and he heard the groan. The groan that had shivers running up his spine as he was filled to the hilt.<br /><br />His whole body shook. And his ears drooped tiredly.<br /><br />&quot;Thank you.&quot;<br /><br />Before he forced them up at the whisper, and smile weakly at the one over him.<br /><br />&quot;You&#039;re welcome, Shads,&quot; he managed, grinning at the kiss on his cheek.<br /><br />&quot;Stay with me.&quot;<br /><br />And feel his exhaustion at the whisper. The whisper that had him turning to the one who&#039;d moved away to avoid collapsing on him.<br /><br />He smiled comfortingly, and slipped into Shadow&#039;s embrace while listening to the pounding heart. It sounded so much like his.<br /><br />&quot;Forevermore, Shadow. Forevermore.&quot;</span>",
