  "writing": "Sonic was a very attentive lover. He gave his time and his passions to Shadow whenever they were together.\n\nToo bad they were hardly ever together.\n\nShadow had his responsibilities to GUN, and Sonic had the need to run off to parts unknown every few weeks. He’d disappear for longer periods of time than he was present.\n\nTheir paths hardly ever crossed, and while Shadow loved Sonic and valued the time they had, loneliness crept in quickly when one didn’t have many other companions.\n\nStill, he refused to be the anchor that Sonic so feared having. If Sonic wanted to stay with him, he would. Shadow could only believe that the time they had was all the time Sonic wanted with him. It ached, but Shadow had no other to call a lover. \n\nSo he waited for when Sonic came back to him for their brief stolen moments.\n\nDuring one such lonely evening, Shadow decided to take a walk to clear his head of thought of Sonic and abandonment.\n\n“Hey, Shads!” A cheerful and familiar voice called out from behind him. He turned abruptly, and faced the subject of his thoughts.\n\n“Sonic? I thought you were away…”\n\n“I was, but I missed you. I came back to see you.”\n\nSonic missed him? Sonic never missed him so much he cut his runs across the world short. He felt warm at the thought that Sonic made an exception for him just this once.\n\n“I missed you too. Do you want to…?”\n\n“Let’s go somewhere together. Somewhere private.” Sonic suggested with a lecherous grin. Shadow quivered at the arousing look. \n\n“Yeah, my place. My place is good.” Shadow said quickly, eager to be alone with his lover.\n\nSonic offered his hand, which Shadow took gratefully, and they walked to Shadow’s abode.\n\n***\n\nShadow had long since moved out from above Rouge’s club. She’d been sad to see him go, but understood his need for independence. Now he had his own apartment closer to his place of work.\n\nHis own space became that much more appreciated after he gained a lover. Sonic had no home of his own, and the place he rested his head was shared with Tails. They couldn’t go there to be intimate for fear of traumatizing Sonic’s brother.\n\nShadow’s home was a small, sparsely decorated place, with little to distinguish it besides Shadow’s gun collection and his picture of Maria at his bedside. Still, it was home to Shadow, and it was made all the more comfortable with Sonic’s presence.\n\nThe door shut behind them, and Sonic assaulted his lips and body the moment it did so.\n\nShadow moaned and rubbed up against Sonic, wrapping his arms around his neck. Sonic responded by lifting him up with an arm under his ass. Shadow wrapped his legs around Sonic’s hips, and Sonic carried him like to the bedroom.\n\nSonic tossed him onto the black silk sheets and crawled on top of him, grinning the whole time. He slowly stroked up Shadow’s leg, teasingly skirting past his groin, and ruffled the fur on his chest. A finger rubbed his lips and parted them slightly, inserting a bare finger and thumb to play with Shadow’s tongue.\n\nShadow licked the appendage with relish while the other hand moved down his body, touching him all the way, and stroked his groin to encourage his cock to emerge. His body obeyed, and his sensitive flesh was touched with a loving hand.\n\nThe hand in his mouth left to touch the skin and fur of his perineum, drawing a moan from Shadow. The touch moved to his anus, rimming it and pushing inside slightly, just enough for the pressure to be felt.\n\nThe duel touches made Shadow’s orgasm come, and he shook and shuddered with it, feeling somehow hyper aware and relaxed at the same time. Sonic was never so slow in pleasuring him. He always wanted to forgo foreplay and get to the main event. Shadow liked this new approach very much.\n\n“Relax while you can, beautiful. There’s a lot more to come.” Sonic leered and Shadow grinned back, excitement quickly rising again.\n\nIt caught his attention that Sonic had called him beautiful. Sonic hadn’t before called him pet names, let alone anything that risked stroking Shadow’s inflated ego. Shadow shrugged it off, supposing that Sonic was feeling romantic. He intended to make the most of the mood.\n\nThen, his communicator went off.\n\nShadow swore, but got up from the bed. Sonic frowned at him.\n\n“Ignore it, sweetheart. Come back to me.” Sonic nearly begged.\n\nOdd again. Another pet name, and Sonic actually pleading for him? Shadow was usually doing the pleading for scraps of his time as Sonic left him bereft. Shadow again shrugged off the odd behavior. It may have been too much to hope, but perhaps Sonic was finally feeling as needful of Shadow as Shadow was of Sonic.\n\n“It might be GUN. I have to answer it.” Shadow explained, picking the abandoned piece of machinery up.\n\nShadow tapped his communicator, and a cheerful and familiar voice came through.\n\n“Hey, Shads! Just wanted to apologize for taking off without telling you. I know we had plans, but I’ll make it up to you!”\n\nShadow stared dumbfounded at the communicator, unable to process fully what was happening. He slowly turned around to where who he had believed to be Sonic was still relaxing on his bed, his emerald eyes watching him carefully.\n\n“I’ll…talk to you later.”\n\n“What? Shadow, I’m trying to say sorry here. Give me a-”\n\nSonic was cut off as Shadow hung up on him.\n\n“Who the hell are you?” Shadow demanded. He hesitated to attack the person on sight, as there was a chance the call had been from a fake Sonic and this one could be real. He didn’t want to be hasty. Besides, even if they were false, they hadn’t done anything threatening. Quite the opposite.\n\nThe endearments, the attentive care, the slow and gentle lovemaking…none of it was indicative of Sonic’s characteristics.\n\nHow sad, now that he consciously thought about it, that his lover could be defined by how [i]inattentive[/i] he was. This fake Sonic had proven a far better lover in a few short moments.\n\n“Does it matter?” The stranger questioned.\n\n“Of course if matters! You’re in my home, I let you touch me! It matters very much who you are!” Shadow bellowed, more upset at the realization of how his actual lover paled in comparison to this fake.\n\n“I don’t think it does, beautiful, because…” The fake Sonic got up from the bed and slinked over to him, an assurance and dominating sexiness to his walk as he approached. “You want me to touch you more. It doesn’t matter who I really am.”\n\nSonic touched a finger to Shadow’s muzzle, slowly and delicious stroking it until he rubbed again at Shadow’s lips. They parted for the stranger’s finger to lick and suck at the digit.\n\nShadow cursed himself for it, but he had been lonely for so long. This stranger with Sonic’s face had given him more affection than Sonic ever had in the short time they’d had together.\n\nShadow loved Sonic. The hero was kind and passionate and affectionate when he was around. He was just so rarely around.\n\nThough, he didn’t call Shadow beautiful, like this stranger did. And he didn’t make slow, tender love like this stranger did…\n\nThe fake Sonic’s second hand reached around to need the globes of his ass, and Shadow thrust back into the touch.\n\n“See? You want this. You need this.”\n\n“I need this…” Shadow repeated, letting the words roll around in his mouth and in his mind. He did need this. He needed to be touched. He needed to be loved.\n\nThe stranger had Sonic’s face, and if Shadow thought of this fake as Sonic, it barely counted as cheating, didn’t it?\nShadow’s justifications were derailed as a curious hand stroked his anus. He was pulled forward, and Shadow allowed it, and they tumbled back into bed.\n\nSonic, because Shadow no longer cared to distinguish between real and fake, ran a hand along his muzzle tenderly.\n\n“Look at you. Beautiful in your submission. Radiant in your passion. You want this, so submit fully to it. Let this happen.”\n\nShadow nodded, deliriously turned on at nothing but light touches to his face and enticing words. Sonic smiled, the lecherous grin meant to imitate Sonic gone, replaced by something gentler.\n\nShadow laid back and spread his legs, willing to let this Sonic do as he wished if it felt as good as it did before.\nSonic grasped Shadow’s face and leaned in to kiss him. They tied their tongues together until they couldn’t breathe, and parted with a string of saliva connecting them. Shadow licked his lips, tasting what was left of Sonic on them.\n\nSonic kissed his way down Shadow’s body, taking time to suck at his nipples hidden under his fur, making them harden into firm nubs. Even when his lips left them, a hand stayed to flick and rub at them, alternating between them both.\n\nHis mouth continued down Shadow’s body to land on his groin, where his flaccid dick returned to hardness at the wet warmth of Sonic’s mouth. Sonic sucked on the tip while tonguing the slit as his hand played with his balls.\nShadow writhed and moaned at the feeling. Both Sonic’s hands were going to work on his body while his mouth pleasured his most sensitive flesh.\n\n“More, please…” He gasped between groans of ecstasy.\n\n“You’ll have more, my beauty, I will not stop until every inch of you has felt my hands. Not until I’ve tasted every part of you. Not until I've been inside of you, deep and intimate.”\n\nShadow moaned, his eyes sliding shut as he imagined the pleasure of what Sonic had described. The real Sonic never took time with him. Their trysts were brief but blazingly passionate affairs. Shadow wanted to go slow, at least once in a while.\n\nSonic took more of Shadow’s length into his mouth, making Shadow throw his head back and let out a long whine. Sonic sucked eagerly, as if he’d tasted nothing better than Shadow’s cock and pre-cum.\n\nThe hands playing with his balls and nipples stroked along his legs, finding a pleasure spot just underneath Shadow’s left knee and stroking it with gusto. Shadow had not previously known such a place would be so pleasant to touch, mostly because the real Sonic never bothered to find it.\n\nHis cock was released with a wet slurping sound, and Shadow groaned at the loss.\n\n“Don’t worry, beautiful, I won’t leave you wanting.”\n\nThat was a promise he’d never heard before, something that the real Sonic couldn’t promise and wouldn’t promise. Shadow shouldn’t keep comparing the real and fake Sonics, but he couldn’t help it. This Sonic was stirring so much passion and so much doubt within him.\n\nSonic rubbed his hand in the gathered pre-cum, using the other to moisten the entirety of his own length with his own pre-cum. The wet hand slowly entered his anal passage, taking care to not hurt Shadow.\n\nThat, at least, was something the Sonics had in common. Sonic always took his time preparing Shadow for a hard and fast fucking. He never wanted to hurt Shadow, even at the expense of slowing down.\n\nSuddenly, harshly, Shadow longed for the real Sonic. He had his flaws, his many [i]many[/i] flaws, as a lover, but he was young, and Shadow believed him capable of learning. Most of all, he was genuine. He truly was ‘a guy who loved adventure,’ as he had once told Shadow. That honesty was appreciated, especially by Shadow, who had spent too much of his life being used. \n\nThis imposter was anything but genuine. The face he wore wasn't his own. He likely had his own reasons for pleasuring Shadow like this. Shadow was probably being used again by this faker. Yet, in this moment, as another finger was added and he was scissored while his cock was stroked, Shadow didn't care.\n\nHe’d probably regret this the moment the real Sonic returned to him. But for now, he’d enjoy the ecstasy and the affection. His body’s needs wouldn't let him do anything else.\n\nThe fingers left him, and something much larger was pressed to his ass.\n\n“Ready, sweetheart?” Sonic asked, smiling down at him.\n\n“Yes, yes, I’m ready! Fuck me, please!”\n\n“So needy. Sonic must not take care of you, sweetheart.”\n\nShadow wanted to argue, but found himself unable to. Sonic didn’t do much at all to take care of him. Their trysts were catered to Sonic’s preferences, never Shadow’s. Shadow’s needs outside of sex, too, were never met.\n\nA tear escaped his eye against his will, and the fake Sonic immediately wrapped his arms around Shadow and held his face to his chest.\n\n“Oh, beloved, I did not mean to make you cry. I never want to see you in pain. I want joy and ecstasy to be all you know.”\n\nThe words hurt more than they helped. Every syllable was a reminder of what Sonic was not.\n\n“Who are you?” Shadow asked again, this time less demanding and more curious.\n\nSonic blinked, and suddenly where his eyes were once white turned blood red. His body shifted and morphed until he became a crystal demon.\n\nShadow blinked in confusion. He didn't know this person at all. Why were they so concerned with Shadow if they had never met.\n\n“Who…are you?” Shadow asked once again, tentatively.\n\n“My name is Mephiles, beloved. It seems you have forgotten me.” Mephiles’ voice was tinged with sadness.\n\n“I…We've met?”\n\n“Yes, in another time lost to us both. It doesn’t matter now, beloved. Let me make love to you.”\n\nShadow’s erection had flagged as they spoke, and Mephiles made it rise again with a few quick strokes. The demon once again placed his cock at Shadow’s entrance.\n\n“Will you still let me have you, even though I no longer where your lover’s form?”\n\nShadow deliberated briefly, and then nodded. He couldn’t make the excuse that he wasn't betraying Sonic because the stranger looked like Sonic, which had been weak in the first place. Still, he desired the stranger, this Mephiles. He wanted his tenderness, his affection, and his lovemaking skills.\n\nMephiles slowly pierced him with his cock, letting Shadow adjust to him as he went. The stretch burned, but Mephiles worked Shadow’s shaft to ease the pain. Soon, Mephiles was seated inside of him fully.\n\nHe ceased all movement, letting the burn fade away, and when Shadow gave him the go-ahead, he pulled out and thrust back inside of him, hard.\n\nShadow gasped and moaned as Mephiles repeated the action, adjusting his angle to find Shadow’s prostate to bring him even greater pleasure.\n\nWhen he found it, Shadow’s voice rose to a pitch higher than he thought himself capable of. Mephiles grinned at the sound.\n\nThat grin made Shadow shudder a little. The tenderness Mephiles had displayed before was gone, replaced with lust and more than a little vicious glee. It disturbed him, but Shadow couldn't place why.\n\nHis thoughts were banished when his prostate was his several times in succession, Mephiles going at the pleasurable spot with all he had once he located it.\n\nMephiles paced himself, slowing down when he felt either of their climaxes near, speeding up once the immediate pressure receded. He monitored Shadow’s reactions with learned accuracy, and it disturbed Shadow a bit to be so thoroughly known to a stranger, especially in regards to his intimate needs.\n\nMephiles shuddered, and Shadow knew neither of them would last much longer. The pressure that had been so well kept at bay was finally allowed release, and Shadow screamed when his orgasm came.\n\n“Not inside, Mephiles.” Shadow demanded once his high had calmed, but Mephiles continued to thrust in and out of him.\n\nShadow pushed at Mephiles’ shoulders. “I said, not inside!”\n\nAgain, he was ignored. Mephiles seemed lost to the ecstasy, and Shadow shrieked angrily at him and he pushed the demon away with all his strength. Mephiles was violently ejected from his body.\n\nShadow cringed as the demon’s red and green eyes glared at him from the floor across the room.\n\n“You dare attack me? After all I’ve done for you?” Mephiles lunged at him, his erection losing its hardness as he did so.\n\nShadow dodged and ran out the door, not willing to start a fight in such tight quarters inside his own home.\n\nMephiles warped in front of him, and Shadow gagged as his throat was held tight. He gasped for breath, barely able to get any air into his lungs. He was thrown back onto the bed, and Mephiles loomed over him, still choking him.\n\n“Why do you deny me? Why do you always deny me? Have I not proven myself better than that blue rat?”\n\nShadow gagged as Mephiles raged. He managed to muster the strength to lift his hand and release a Chaos Spear to Mephiles’ chest just as his vision began to grow dark.\n\nMephiles shrieked in pain, and vanished as crystal shards fell from him.\n\nShadow sucked in air, grateful for every lungful. He curled up into a defensive ball on his sheets, and cried.\n\n***\n\nSonic only listened without a word as Shadow confessed his betrayal. He was unreadable for once in his life, only nodding occasionally to show he was still listening.\n\nWhen Shadow finished his story, Sonic at last reacted.\n\n“Are you okay?” He asked, lifting Shadow’s face and pushing aside fur to inspect the bruised skin of his neck.\n\n“I’m fine. It doesn’t hurt much.” Shadow said, which was a lie. It ached constantly, and screamed with pain when Shadow spoke or swallowed.\n\nHe doubted Sonic would care much about that after this. Shadow had cheated on him, and even though Mephiles had turned violent, the act had begun consensually.\n\n“I’m sorry Shadow.”\n\nShadow blinked at Sonic in shock. Why was he apologizing? Shadow should be the one begging for forgiveness he didn’t deserve.\n\n“This happened because I’ve been a crappy boyfriend. You shouldn’t have ever needed to go to someone else to feel loved.”\n\nShadow gaped, unable to say a word.\n\n“I blame Mephiles for this, and I blame myself. He pretended to be me and coerced you into bed. Then he kept you there by being the lover I should have been. I won’t make excuses for how I've treated you. I haven’t been good enough, that’s the simple truth.”\n\n“But…”\n\n“No buts, Shadow. He coerced you into it with lies and fake niceties. That’s rape, and I’m not going to blame you for it.”\n\nShadow sobbed, burying his face in his hands. He felt dirty and violated. He felt guilty and shameful. Sonic held him close and let him run out of tears before speaking again.\n\n“I’ll do better, Shadow, you beautiful, wonderful hedgehog. I’ll do right by you from here on out. Don’t ever feel like you can’t ask me to make time for you. That’s your [i]right[/i], as my lover. You won’t be an anchor if you tell me what you need from me. I love you so much.”",

I came back to see you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Sonic missed him? Sonic never missed him so much he cut his runs across the world short. He felt warm at the thought that Sonic made an exception for him just this once.<br /><br />&ldquo;I missed you too. Do you want to&hellip;?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Let&rsquo;s go somewhere together. Somewhere private.&rdquo; Sonic suggested with a lecherous grin. Shadow quivered at the arousing look. <br /><br />&ldquo;Yeah, my place. My place is good.&rdquo; Shadow said quickly, eager to be alone with his lover.<br /><br />Sonic offered his hand, which Shadow took gratefully, and they walked to Shadow&rsquo;s abode.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Shadow had long since moved out from above Rouge&rsquo;s club. She&rsquo;d been sad to see him go, but understood his need for independence. Now he had his own apartment closer to his place of work.<br /><br />His own space became that much more appreciated after he gained a lover. Sonic had no home of his own, and the place he rested his head was shared with Tails. They couldn&rsquo;t go there to be intimate for fear of traumatizing Sonic&rsquo;s brother.<br /><br />Shadow&rsquo;s home was a small, sparsely decorated place, with little to distinguish it besides Shadow&rsquo;s gun collection and his picture of Maria at his bedside. Still, it was home to Shadow, and it was made all the more comfortable with Sonic&rsquo;s presence.<br /><br />The door shut behind them, and Sonic assaulted his lips and body the moment it did so.<br /><br />Shadow moaned and rubbed up against Sonic, wrapping his arms around his neck. Sonic responded by lifting him up with an arm under his ass. Shadow wrapped his legs around Sonic&rsquo;s hips, and Sonic carried him like to the bedroom.<br /><br />Sonic tossed him onto the black silk sheets and crawled on top of him, grinning the whole time. He slowly stroked up Shadow&rsquo;s leg, teasingly skirting past his groin, and ruffled the fur on his chest. A finger rubbed his lips and parted them slightly, inserting a bare finger and thumb to play with Shadow&rsquo;s tongue.<br /><br />Shadow licked the appendage with relish while the other hand moved down his body, touching him all the way, and stroked his groin to encourage his cock to emerge. His body obeyed, and his sensitive flesh was touched with a loving hand.<br /><br />The hand in his mouth left to touch the skin and fur of his perineum, drawing a moan from Shadow. The touch moved to his anus, rimming it and pushing inside slightly, just enough for the pressure to be felt.<br /><br />The duel touches made Shadow&rsquo;s orgasm come, and he shook and shuddered with it, feeling somehow hyper aware and relaxed at the same time. Sonic was never so slow in pleasuring him. He always wanted to forgo foreplay and get to the main event. Shadow liked this new approach very much.<br /><br />&ldquo;Relax while you can, beautiful. There&rsquo;s a lot more to come.&rdquo; Sonic leered and Shadow grinned back, excitement quickly rising again.<br /><br />It caught his attention that Sonic had called him beautiful. Sonic hadn&rsquo;t before called him pet names, let alone anything that risked stroking Shadow&rsquo;s inflated ego. Shadow shrugged it off, supposing that Sonic was feeling romantic. He intended to make the most of the mood.<br /><br />Then, his communicator went off.<br /><br />Shadow swore, but got up from the bed. Sonic frowned at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ignore it, sweetheart. Come back to me.&rdquo; Sonic nearly begged.<br /><br />Odd again. Another pet name, and Sonic actually pleading for him? Shadow was usually doing the pleading for scraps of his time as Sonic left him bereft. Shadow again shrugged off the odd behavior. It may have been too much to hope, but perhaps Sonic was finally feeling as needful of Shadow as Shadow was of Sonic.<br /><br />&ldquo;It might be GUN. I have to answer it.&rdquo; Shadow explained, picking the abandoned piece of machinery up.<br /><br />Shadow tapped his communicator, and a cheerful and familiar voice came through.<br /><br />&ldquo;Hey, Shads! Just wanted to apologize for taking off without telling you. I know we had plans, but I&rsquo;ll make it up to you!&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow stared dumbfounded at the communicator, unable to process fully what was happening. He slowly turned around to where who he had believed to be Sonic was still relaxing on his bed, his emerald eyes watching him carefully.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll&hellip;talk to you later.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;What? Shadow, I&rsquo;m trying to say sorry here. Give me a-&rdquo;<br /><br />Sonic was cut off as Shadow hung up on him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Who the hell are you?&rdquo; Shadow demanded. He hesitated to attack the person on sight, as there was a chance the call had been from a fake Sonic and this one could be real. He didn&rsquo;t want to be hasty. Besides, even if they were false, they hadn&rsquo;t done anything threatening. Quite the opposite.<br /><br />The endearments, the attentive care, the slow and gentle lovemaking&hellip;none of it was indicative of Sonic&rsquo;s characteristics.<br /><br />How sad, now that he consciously thought about it, that his lover could be defined by how <em>inattentive</em> he was. This fake Sonic had proven a far better lover in a few short moments.<br /><br />&ldquo;Does it matter?&rdquo; The stranger questioned.<br /><br />&ldquo;Of course if matters! You&rsquo;re in my home, I let you touch me! It matters very much who you are!&rdquo; Shadow bellowed, more upset at the realization of how his actual lover paled in comparison to this fake.<br /><br />&ldquo;I don&rsquo;t think it does, beautiful, because&hellip;&rdquo; The fake Sonic got up from the bed and slinked over to him, an assurance and dominating sexiness to his walk as he approached. &ldquo;You want me to touch you more. It doesn&rsquo;t matter who I really am.&rdquo;<br /><br />Sonic touched a finger to Shadow&rsquo;s muzzle, slowly and delicious stroking it until he rubbed again at Shadow&rsquo;s lips. They parted for the stranger&rsquo;s finger to lick and suck at the digit.<br /><br />Shadow cursed himself for it, but he had been lonely for so long. This stranger with Sonic&rsquo;s face had given him more affection than Sonic ever had in the short time they&rsquo;d had together.<br /><br />Shadow loved Sonic. The hero was kind and passionate and affectionate when he was around. He was just so rarely around.<br /><br />Though, he didn&rsquo;t call Shadow beautiful, like this stranger did. And he didn&rsquo;t make slow, tender love like this stranger did&hellip;<br /><br />The fake Sonic&rsquo;s second hand reached around to need the globes of his ass, and Shadow thrust back into the touch.<br /><br />&ldquo;See? You want this. You need this.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;I need this&hellip;&rdquo; Shadow repeated, letting the words roll around in his mouth and in his mind. He did need this. He needed to be touched. He needed to be loved.<br /><br />The stranger had Sonic&rsquo;s face, and if Shadow thought of this fake as Sonic, it barely counted as cheating, didn&rsquo;t it?<br />Shadow&rsquo;s justifications were derailed as a curious hand stroked his anus. He was pulled forward, and Shadow allowed it, and they tumbled back into bed.<br /><br />Sonic, because Shadow no longer cared to distinguish between real and fake, ran a hand along his muzzle tenderly.<br /><br />&ldquo;Look at you. Beautiful in your submission. Radiant in your passion. You want this, so submit fully to it. Let this happen.&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow nodded, deliriously turned on at nothing but light touches to his face and enticing words. Sonic smiled, the lecherous grin meant to imitate Sonic gone, replaced by something gentler.<br /><br />Shadow laid back and spread his legs, willing to let this Sonic do as he wished if it felt as good as it did before.<br />Sonic grasped Shadow&rsquo;s face and leaned in to kiss him. They tied their tongues together until they couldn&rsquo;t breathe, and parted with a string of saliva connecting them. Shadow licked his lips, tasting what was left of Sonic on them.<br /><br />Sonic kissed his way down Shadow&rsquo;s body, taking time to suck at his nipples hidden under his fur, making them harden into firm nubs. Even when his lips left them, a hand stayed to flick and rub at them, alternating between them both.<br /><br />His mouth continued down Shadow&rsquo;s body to land on his groin, where his flaccid dick returned to hardness at the wet warmth of Sonic&rsquo;s mouth. Sonic sucked on the tip while tonguing the slit as his hand played with his balls.<br />Shadow writhed and moaned at the feeling. Both Sonic&rsquo;s hands were going to work on his body while his mouth pleasured his most sensitive flesh.<br /><br />&ldquo;More, please&hellip;&rdquo; He gasped between groans of ecstasy.<br /><br />&ldquo;You&rsquo;ll have more, my beauty, I will not stop until every inch of you has felt my hands. Not until I&rsquo;ve tasted every part of you. Not until I&#039;ve been inside of you, deep and intimate.&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow moaned, his eyes sliding shut as he imagined the pleasure of what Sonic had described. The real Sonic never took time with him. Their trysts were brief but blazingly passionate affairs. Shadow wanted to go slow, at least once in a while.<br /><br />Sonic took more of Shadow&rsquo;s length into his mouth, making Shadow throw his head back and let out a long whine. Sonic sucked eagerly, as if he&rsquo;d tasted nothing better than Shadow&rsquo;s cock and pre-cum.<br /><br />The hands playing with his balls and nipples stroked along his legs, finding a pleasure spot just underneath Shadow&rsquo;s left knee and stroking it with gusto. Shadow had not previously known such a place would be so pleasant to touch, mostly because the real Sonic never bothered to find it.<br /><br />His cock was released with a wet slurping sound, and Shadow groaned at the loss.<br /><br />&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t worry, beautiful, I won&rsquo;t leave you wanting.&rdquo;<br /><br />That was a promise he&rsquo;d never heard before, something that the real Sonic couldn&rsquo;t promise and wouldn&rsquo;t promise. Shadow shouldn&rsquo;t keep comparing the real and fake Sonics, but he couldn&rsquo;t help it. This Sonic was stirring so much passion and so much doubt within him.<br /><br />Sonic rubbed his hand in the gathered pre-cum, using the other to moisten the entirety of his own length with his own pre-cum. The wet hand slowly entered his anal passage, taking care to not hurt Shadow.<br /><br />That, at least, was something the Sonics had in common. Sonic always took his time preparing Shadow for a hard and fast fucking. He never wanted to hurt Shadow, even at the expense of slowing down.<br /><br />Suddenly, harshly, Shadow longed for the real Sonic. He had his flaws, his many <em>many</em> flaws, as a lover, but he was young, and Shadow believed him capable of learning. Most of all, he was genuine. He truly was &lsquo;a guy who loved adventure,&rsquo; as he had once told Shadow. That honesty was appreciated, especially by Shadow, who had spent too much of his life being used. <br /><br />This imposter was anything but genuine. The face he wore wasn&#039;t his own. He likely had his own reasons for pleasuring Shadow like this. Shadow was probably being used again by this faker. Yet, in this moment, as another finger was added and he was scissored while his cock was stroked, Shadow didn&#039;t care.<br /><br />He&rsquo;d probably regret this the moment the real Sonic returned to him. But for now, he&rsquo;d enjoy the ecstasy and the affection. His body&rsquo;s needs wouldn&#039;t let him do anything else.<br /><br />The fingers left him, and something much larger was pressed to his ass.<br /><br />&ldquo;Ready, sweetheart?&rdquo; Sonic asked, smiling down at him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, yes, I&rsquo;m ready! Fuck me, please!&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;So needy. Sonic must not take care of you, sweetheart.&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow wanted to argue, but found himself unable to. Sonic didn&rsquo;t do much at all to take care of him. Their trysts were catered to Sonic&rsquo;s preferences, never Shadow&rsquo;s. Shadow&rsquo;s needs outside of sex, too, were never met.<br /><br />A tear escaped his eye against his will, and the fake Sonic immediately wrapped his arms around Shadow and held his face to his chest.<br /><br />&ldquo;Oh, beloved, I did not mean to make you cry. I never want to see you in pain. I want joy and ecstasy to be all you know.&rdquo;<br /><br />The words hurt more than they helped. Every syllable was a reminder of what Sonic was not.<br /><br />&ldquo;Who are you?&rdquo; Shadow asked again, this time less demanding and more curious.<br /><br />Sonic blinked, and suddenly where his eyes were once white turned blood red. His body shifted and morphed until he became a crystal demon.<br /><br />Shadow blinked in confusion. He didn&#039;t know this person at all. Why were they so concerned with Shadow if they had never met.<br /><br />&ldquo;Who&hellip;are you?&rdquo; Shadow asked once again, tentatively.<br /><br />&ldquo;My name is Mephiles, beloved. It seems you have forgotten me.&rdquo; Mephiles&rsquo; voice was tinged with sadness.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&hellip;We&#039;ve met?&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;Yes, in another time lost to us both. It doesn&rsquo;t matter now, beloved. Let me make love to you.&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow&rsquo;s erection had flagged as they spoke, and Mephiles made it rise again with a few quick strokes. The demon once again placed his cock at Shadow&rsquo;s entrance.<br /><br />&ldquo;Will you still let me have you, even though I no longer where your lover&rsquo;s form?&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow deliberated briefly, and then nodded. He couldn&rsquo;t make the excuse that he wasn&#039;t betraying Sonic because the stranger looked like Sonic, which had been weak in the first place. Still, he desired the stranger, this Mephiles. He wanted his tenderness, his affection, and his lovemaking skills.<br /><br />Mephiles slowly pierced him with his cock, letting Shadow adjust to him as he went. The stretch burned, but Mephiles worked Shadow&rsquo;s shaft to ease the pain. Soon, Mephiles was seated inside of him fully.<br /><br />He ceased all movement, letting the burn fade away, and when Shadow gave him the go-ahead, he pulled out and thrust back inside of him, hard.<br /><br />Shadow gasped and moaned as Mephiles repeated the action, adjusting his angle to find Shadow&rsquo;s prostate to bring him even greater pleasure.<br /><br />When he found it, Shadow&rsquo;s voice rose to a pitch higher than he thought himself capable of. Mephiles grinned at the sound.<br /><br />That grin made Shadow shudder a little. The tenderness Mephiles had displayed before was gone, replaced with lust and more than a little vicious glee. It disturbed him, but Shadow couldn&#039;t place why.<br /><br />His thoughts were banished when his prostate was his several times in succession, Mephiles going at the pleasurable spot with all he had once he located it.<br /><br />Mephiles paced himself, slowing down when he felt either of their climaxes near, speeding up once the immediate pressure receded. He monitored Shadow&rsquo;s reactions with learned accuracy, and it disturbed Shadow a bit to be so thoroughly known to a stranger, especially in regards to his intimate needs.<br /><br />Mephiles shuddered, and Shadow knew neither of them would last much longer. The pressure that had been so well kept at bay was finally allowed release, and Shadow screamed when his orgasm came.<br /><br />&ldquo;Not inside, Mephiles.&rdquo; Shadow demanded once his high had calmed, but Mephiles continued to thrust in and out of him.<br /><br />Shadow pushed at Mephiles&rsquo; shoulders. &ldquo;I said, not inside!&rdquo;<br /><br />Again, he was ignored. Mephiles seemed lost to the ecstasy, and Shadow shrieked angrily at him and he pushed the demon away with all his strength. Mephiles was violently ejected from his body.<br /><br />Shadow cringed as the demon&rsquo;s red and green eyes glared at him from the floor across the room.<br /><br />&ldquo;You dare attack me? After all I&rsquo;ve done for you?&rdquo; Mephiles lunged at him, his erection losing its hardness as he did so.<br /><br />Shadow dodged and ran out the door, not willing to start a fight in such tight quarters inside his own home.<br /><br />Mephiles warped in front of him, and Shadow gagged as his throat was held tight. He gasped for breath, barely able to get any air into his lungs. He was thrown back onto the bed, and Mephiles loomed over him, still choking him.<br /><br />&ldquo;Why do you deny me? Why do you always deny me? Have I not proven myself better than that blue rat?&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow gagged as Mephiles raged. He managed to muster the strength to lift his hand and release a Chaos Spear to Mephiles&rsquo; chest just as his vision began to grow dark.<br /><br />Mephiles shrieked in pain, and vanished as crystal shards fell from him.<br /><br />Shadow sucked in air, grateful for every lungful. He curled up into a defensive ball on his sheets, and cried.<br /><br />***<br /><br />Sonic only listened without a word as Shadow confessed his betrayal. He was unreadable for once in his life, only nodding occasionally to show he was still listening.<br /><br />When Shadow finished his story, Sonic at last reacted.<br /><br />&ldquo;Are you okay?&rdquo; He asked, lifting Shadow&rsquo;s face and pushing aside fur to inspect the bruised skin of his neck.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m fine. It doesn&rsquo;t hurt much.&rdquo; Shadow said, which was a lie. It ached constantly, and screamed with pain when Shadow spoke or swallowed.<br /><br />He doubted Sonic would care much about that after this. Shadow had cheated on him, and even though Mephiles had turned violent, the act had begun consensually.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sorry Shadow.&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow blinked at Sonic in shock. Why was he apologizing? Shadow should be the one begging for forgiveness he didn&rsquo;t deserve.<br /><br />&ldquo;This happened because I&rsquo;ve been a crappy boyfriend. You shouldn&rsquo;t have ever needed to go to someone else to feel loved.&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow gaped, unable to say a word.<br /><br />&ldquo;I blame Mephiles for this, and I blame myself. He pretended to be me and coerced you into bed. Then he kept you there by being the lover I should have been. I won&rsquo;t make excuses for how I&#039;ve treated you. I haven&rsquo;t been good enough, that&rsquo;s the simple truth.&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;But&hellip;&rdquo;<br /><br />&ldquo;No buts, Shadow. He coerced you into it with lies and fake niceties. That&rsquo;s rape, and I&rsquo;m not going to blame you for it.&rdquo;<br /><br />Shadow sobbed, burying his face in his hands. He felt dirty and violated. He felt guilty and shameful. Sonic held him close and let him run out of tears before speaking again.<br /><br />&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll do better, Shadow, you beautiful, wonderful hedgehog. I&rsquo;ll do right by you from here on out. Don&rsquo;t ever feel like you can&rsquo;t ask me to make time for you. That&rsquo;s your <em>right</em>, as my lover. You won&rsquo;t be an anchor if you tell me what you need from me. I love you so much.&rdquo;</span>",
