shadow x reader

A/N: this is just a ramble of shadow and nightmares because i like the idea of him having terrors of his past and such. there is no coherency.

he woke with a start, jerking up in his bed with the blanket kicked down to the foot of the mattress and his fur raised in different ways from his fitful tossing and turning. he didn’t need sleep as much as others did, but it didn’t mean he didn’t need it at all; he still had to sleep on occasion.

he dreamt of his life back in the ark, of maria. of how he had failed to keep her safe and witnessed her death firsthand; the life draining from her youthful eyes and her body fall limp before he was sent hurtling to earth in his chamber. of being awoken after 50 years stasis into a world he had only heard about, full of people being too loud, too greedy, too oblivious. of his burning hatred for these fleshy creatures that were the byproduct of those who rid him of the only place he had ever known as home.

he also dreamt of how he hurtled down to earth a second time, after rescuing the planet alongside the blue hedgehog he so despised. how even in his weakened state, he felt the burning of heat as he crashed through the earth’s atmosphere. of the black arms; of black doom, who of which he was made of; like eve from adam’s rib. he was just as cursed as she.

nightmares, you had called them, when he had woken one night with a cry of maria’s name and woken you as well. you knew all he had gone through, and even in his refusal of your comfort, you helped him to understand; and sat beside him as his adrenaline wore down, helped him count as he took staggered inhales and exhales. his legs swung from the side of his mattress and he made his way to the door, exiting his room to find yours.

you were still sleeping when he cracked open the door, watching for a moment as your chest rose and fell with your slow and steady breaths. his feet still moved before his mind could deny him, climbing onto the mattress carefully; he didn’t want to wake you. he knew why he had craved your comfort, why his heart and mind craved to be near you. he had come up with his own nightmare tonight.

he had lost you. his mind finally conjured up it’s own fear and you were the reason. you wormed your way into his chest and found a home beside his beating heart, cocooned in the hollow of his ribs. your touches were burned into his skin, feeling the ghost of your ministrations even long after you had gone. your laughter and voice echoed in his mind, your sweet words a broken record as he replayed them over and over to himself. as proof that he was as good as you made him out to be.

he feared losing that; of losing you. the one person after so long that he could turn to and feel safe being vulnerable with. you had never judged him. you welcomed him with open arms and comforted him even when he berated your sympathy; insulted your kindness. he didn’t understand how one could show such emotions without an ulterior motive.

he admired your sleeping form, so tempted to reach out and stroke your cheek, brush your hair from your face or to kiss at the expanse of skin before him. why could he not be more like you? when you were ever woken by a nightmare, you never hesitated to seek his comfort. albeit, his comfort was simply raising his blankets and allowing you to clamber on beside him, curling into his side and finding your own comfort by him.

he found he didn’t get nightmares those nights you slept beside him.

he instead carefully wrapped his arms around your torso, easing you to his chest; making sure your stirring was not you waking. he tucked his head into the crook of your neck and curled around you, feeling your breaths and faint heartbeat against his chest. he mimicked you, his own breaths settling into your rhythm.

 he would be gone before you woke up; he still was too prideful of himself to allow you to see him after he had sought you out in the night. that he was just as simple as every other mortal creature; who in the desperation of fear, desperately crave and seek comfort. but for now, even if he no longer fell back asleep, he would hold you tightly. assure himself you were living and breathing and his nightmare was exactly what it was - a nightmare.

he would allow the swell of selfish protectiveness in his chest fester that of course you would be fine with him around. he was the ultimate life form, of course, no one would dare cross your paths; or even think to place a singular scratch on your beloved skin. and as the sun would rise and the golden glow would stretch in the expanse of your frame, he would press a kiss to your temple and slip out of your room, to pretend as if nothing happened in the night.

he could only hope one day, his nightmares would cease; and he could search for your touch without the shame of weakness holding him back. and you would be waiting patiently for that day.

A/N: sonic boys and babies ? sonic boys and babies. pregnancy down below as forewarning !! pregnancy announcements and such.

sonic

you sat patiently waiting on the couch of your home, waiting for sonic to return. he was out doing his hero work, and you had finished your job for the day as well; and now you were waiting to show him what you held in your hand. two very positive tests between your fingers.

you had felt somewhat sick the past few mornings, your usual favorite foods made you gag, and you’d become irritable. even sonic was growing concerned for you, and you waved him off. you were probably just tired. but after speaking with amy and rouge about how you’d been feeling they suggested you take the tests.

and here you were. pregnant. you knew sonic would react well to the news, no matter what was thrown his way he took it in stride. but you were still nervous. who wouldn’t be nervous? you instinctively hid the tests beneath your thigh as the door swung open, the blue hedgehog striding in with a bright smile.

“ (y/n)! “ he practically cheered, shutting the door and zipping over to you. he plopped into the spot beside you on the sofa, wrapping his arm around your shoulders and pressing a kiss to your temple, “ you okay? you don’t even have the tv on. “ he looked over at the screen across the room, brows furrowed in slight concern at the dark screen.

“ yeah. “ you replied, lips instinctively into a smile, “ I was just thinking was all. how was work? “

“ ah y’know! same old. helped a few people, saved a few pets, beat up a few of egghead’s bots. “ he sighed, leaning back with his hands resting behind his head, “ you? “

you appreciated the talk, it eased your worries, tension leaving your shoulders and your smile growing.

“ good. “ you replied simply, fingers grazing the tests still hidden underneath your leg, “ I actually had some news for you; maybe it can be considered a gift. “

“ ooh, a gift? “ sonic perked up at that, sitting up properly and his smile stretching across his muzzle, “ what is it, babe? “ you took a breath.

“ well, you know I’ve been feeling sick. “

“ yup; I have been kneeling by you in the bathroom in the morning. “

“ and that I’ve been kinda.. mood swing-y. “ he winced and nodded.

“ yeah, definitely noticed that. “

“ and some foods kinda gross me out. “

“ even your favorite. “ he pouted slightly, “ did you go to the doctor? I’ve been worried you were getting sick. “ you laughed and nodded slowly.

“ sort of? not a doctor but, i did find the reasoning for it. “ he sat patiently, silently waiting for you to continue. you instead slid the tests from under you and took his hand, setting the two plastic sticks into his palm. his eyes drifted downwards and stared for a moment, and the silence drew a bit too long for comfort. you almost started to worry again; until he jumped up and practically dragged you off of the couch.

“ you’re pregnant? “ he exclaimed, a grin on his face, “ like; you’re absolutely, positively, a hundred percent sure? “ you squealed and clung onto sonic as he lifted you by your waist, a shy smile on your face.

“ yes! I took a few more tests to make sure. “ you replied, and sonic looked down at you with an expression of absolute adoration and joy, “ you really are happy about it? “

“ of course I am! I mean, I never had a set plan for kids, but, I’m not gonna say no to them either. “ he replied, setting you down onto your feet, “ so long as you want them too, of course.. I would treat you and them so well, I hope you know that. “

“ I never expected anything less. “ you replied softly, unable to keep the smile of your face as he pressed kisses over your knuckles and hands, “ I want them; I want to have them with you.. “

“ I can’t wait. “ he sighed, bringing your hands to his chest. his smile grew more mischievous as he added, “ I hope they can run just as fast as me! we’ll be the fastest hedgehogs around! “

“ sonic. “ you rolled your eyes fondly, snickering. they would be the death of you; and you wouldn’t want it any other way.

shadow

you’d never been more nervous in your life. you hadn’t planned for this sort of thing to happen; you had one lovely night with shadow, one thing led to another and now here you stood in the bathroom. three tests lined up on your counter, and each had two very solid, and very obvious lines. you could deny it all you wanted, but you were indeed pregnant.

how were you going to tell him? kids were never a thing you’d discussed, he was much too busy with G.U.N and still freshly healed from his traumatic past. this would be the very last thing he could want. you contemplated just keeping it to yourself, mull over your choices and then decide when you were ready.

that idea flew out the window as you heard said hedgehog coming home, his familiar routine of setting his motorbike keys onto the table, along with his weapon, and then making his way to the kitchenette to spy on what was made for dinner. you hadn’t made anything. you were too queasy to eat, which ultimately led to you meeting your wits end and deciding to finally take the test you had in your bathroom cabinet for a week.

shadow then made his way down the hall, and you threw the tests into the trash, haphazardly wasting some toilet paper in an attempt to hide the sticks. you left the bathroom just as shadow made it to the door, and as he looked down at you he hummed and dipped down to give you a kiss.

“ you weren’t hungry tonight? “

“ no. “ you replied quietly, “ I was feeling a bit sick. sorry, love - I know you love to try what I make. “ he gave a small shrug and smile.

“ it’s alright. “ he slid past you to look at himself in the mirror. he cleaned off a few smudges of dirt and whatever other muck he’d gotten in his fur during his mission, “ are you feeling better at least? “

“ still a bit sick. “ and you spoke honestly, your stomach was coiling with anxiety with how closely he stood beside the trash. you weren’t all to sure if he could see the tests or not. he sighed and looked over at you, eyes flitting over your form.

“ do you know what it is? “ you blinked and replied, voice croaking slightly as your hand instinctively settled on your stomach.

“ what? “ his brows furrowed and he tilted his head.

“ do you know what it is? “ he repeated, “ a stomach ache or are you coming down with something? “ you let out a breath and shook your head.

“ just a stomach ache. “ shadow was quiet for a moment, and when his eyes flitted to your stomach and back to your face, you nearly lurched towards him as he stepped back towards the trashcan.

he gingerly lifted the stressfully thrown strand of toilet paper and peered into it, then took the tests from the can.

“ you are a horrible liar. “ he sniffed, setting them onto the counter and observing the positive lines, “ and you are horrible at hiding evidence. you’re lucky you aren’t a criminal; I would have caught you immediately. “

you sighed and covered your face shamefully in your hands, almost expecting a negative reaction to it all. instead, your hands were pulled away from your face and you looked up to see shadow’s surprisingly gentle expression.

“ what is your plan? “

“ I don’t know. “ you replied quietly, fingers curling into your palms, “ I was.. I was thinking you wouldn’t want them. “

“ why wouldn’t I? “ he replied, almost sounding offended by the thought, “ I don’t know much about.. children. I can count how many I’ve known in my life with one hand; but, it is your choice more than mine. “

you were quiet for a moment, thinking. you shifted in place as you slid your hands into shadow’s, interlacing your fingers.

“ I would want to keep them.. “ he nodded, kissing your forehead.

“ then we will. I’ll learn. “ his lips curled into a small, faint smile, “ admittedly.. I’ve wondered what it would be like to have children. with you, at least. “ you blushed and ducked your head, “ I do worry I won’t be a good father.

“ you will. “ you replied as you wrapped your arms around him, hugging onto him. he returned the gesture with a sigh, “ I just know it. “

“ i can only hope.. “

knuckles

it was knuckles who had convinced you to take the tests. he can be awfully perceptive when he wanted to be; and when he noticed the mood swings you had, your changes in meals, and how often you’d been napping, he insisted. you were sure you weren’t, but he said he’d witnessed it a few times with the women in his tribe, and you relented.

you felt idiotic as the test showed you the two solid red lines, and you triple checked on the box that it meant positive. that damned echidna. the door swung open when the silence had stretched on a tad too long and he decided you were done taking the test. he looked down at you and almost looked smug at the result.

“ and I was right. “ he puffed up his chest, hands on his hips, “ as I knew I would be! rarely am I wrong. “

“ shut up. “ you groaned, throwing the test at him which easily bounced off his chest. he laughed and knelt down to pick it up.

“ careful; we must cherish this! the first sign of our kin! wouldn’t you wish to keep it for memories? that is what people do, is it not? “ you felt your face burn as you took the test back, his excitement for it all endearing and annoying all at once. how could he always be so positive?

“ you mean you do want them? “ you stood up and set the plastic strip back onto the counter. he looked at you as if you had three heads.

“ of course! I would want nothing more than to revive the echidnas with the one I adore most. do you not wish to have them? “

“ no. “ you replied, then quickly added, “ I mean; yes! I do, but, it’s just.. a lot all of a sudden. “ you sighed, resting your palm to your face as you looked down. sensing your worry, knuckles set his hands on your waist and pulled you closer towards him.

“ what are you worried for? “ he questioned, and you looked up at him. curse your hormones making you tear up so quickly. you sniffed and shrugged.

“ I just worry I won’t be enough for them.. “

“ of course you will be. “ knuckles replied without hesitation, brows furrowed and a frown on his face, “ you are resilient! and ever charming, and intelligent, and considerate, and patient, and.. “ you raised your hand to cover his mouth, knowing well if you let him talk he would continue on. you let out a small teary laugh.

“ you really think so? “ he nodded, eyes focused on you as if to assure you, since you did cover his mouth. you uncovered it and were immediately met with a kiss.

“ I know it. if there was only one thing I was sure of, it is that. I have faith in you. “ he murmured, “ you will be a wonderful parent to our kin. “ you sniffed and nodded.

“ we can do this.. “

“ that we can. “ he replied with a bright grin, and you returned the gesture.

“ and I will train them to be the best warriors this planet has ever seen! “

“ knucks. “

scourge

you paced the throne room anxiously, worrying to yourself on how you would tell scourge. the scourge, king of anti-mobius and previously known non-monogamous ladies man. until you, of course. he had never let a single thing tie him down before you, and because of that you always had the inkling in the back of your mind that for any little reason, he would leave you. even if he’d assured you many times before it wasn’t true.

you nearly threw up alone as you heard the doors open and the said hedgehog came waltzing in. he looked rather cheerful. he had his sharp-toothed grin, glasses resting on his head and his eyes were focused on you. you nearly melted as his arms wrapped around you and pulled you into a kiss, which you distractedly returned. he pulled away with a small huff.

“ what, don’t love me anymore? c’mon babe, what’s with that kinda kiss? “ he frowned, almost a pout, as he pressed a few more kisses against your jaw. you wiggled in his hold and gingerly pushed him back, and his frown only grew, “ you okay? what’s up? someone say somethin’ t’you ? y’know I’ll fuck ‘em up. just say the world, doll. “

you shook your head with a soft snort, trying to calm him down before he riled himself up at the thought of someone making you upset. he was cute was he was so protective.

“ no - no. I just.. have something to tell you. “ he was quiet and then led you to his throne, where he sat and pulled you into his lap. he looked awfully serious now with the tone you had given him.

“ what is it, then? “ you wrung your hands together, contemplating how to word it. it didn’t help with scourge eyeing you, tapping his fingers against the armrest of his throne.

“ I’m.. “ you trailed off, then took a breath before continuing, “ I’m pregnant. “ you looked over at scourge, who’s eyes were wide and all motion had stopped. you could feel how tense he was and as you set a hand on his chest, you could feel his heart pounding beneath your palm.

“ you’re sure? “ he said as he finally found his voice.

“ extremely. “ he nodded slowly, tongue darting out to wet his lips.

“ you’re keeping it? “ you looked up at him with a small frown.

“ do you want it? “ you asked instead, and you could feel his heart racing further underneath your touch. his chest was heaving slightly, “ I don’t have to if you don’t want me to. “

“ ‘s not my choice, doll. “ he replied with a soft huff, a forced laugh, “ ‘m not the one with somethin’ growin’ in me. “

“ scourge. “ you said sternly, moving to rise from his lap, “ if you don’t want it I won’t have it. I won’t get stuck raising kids on my own. you don’t have to avoid the question. “

he pulled you back down, and you huffed as you looked up at him. his fingers twitched around your arms before he let you go, realizing the action was wrong of him to do. you still stayed seated.

“ I do want ‘em. that ain’t what ‘m worried about. “ he said after a moment of silence, mulling over his words in his mind. he had learned to think before he spoke for you. he didn’t way round unintentionally upset you, “ I.. don’t know what a good dad’s like. “

you softened, recalling scourge’s past. his father had put his kingdom before him, and after many attempts to try and garner his attention; he’d given up, and stuck to himself. it ultimately let him to the bad group he’d found himself in for the rest of his life.

“ that doesn’t mean you won’t be a good dad. “ you replied quietly, reaching up to cup his face. he twitched away for a moment before melting into your hold, “ and I’ll be here with you. it’s not like you’ll be doing it alone. “

“ I just don’t want ‘em to turn out like me.. I didn’t do a good job - growin’ up. “ he sighed, closing his eyes, “ only good thing I did was find ya. “ you brushed your thumb against his cheek, and he scrunched up his face, “ ‘m not gonna lie, doll, I.. “ he trailed off, unable to finish. you knew what he wished to say. he was afraid.

“ I know. “ you whispered, “ do you want it? “

he nodded slowly, and you smiled, “ then I’ll keep them, okay? and we’ll figure it out.. you just gotta treat them like you treat me okay? you’re always so sweet with me, and patient.. and protective. that’s all I want you to be with them. “ he huffed through his nose and finally opened his eyes to look down at you.

“ y’really think I can do it? “

“ course I do, baby. I know how good you can be. “ he nodded slowly, and leaned down to give you a kiss.

“ let’s keep ‘em then. I’ll do my best for ya; and I give ya permission to give me a good smack if I fuck up, yeah? “ you giggled and shook your head. you knew he’d do well; he had the ability to do it. especially for those he cared about.

“ I love ya, doll. “

“ I love you too, scourgey. “

Can I have sonic/silver/shadow/scourge (separately)with a reader who was sold off for most of their life and really only knew that world. so when they were working together and stuff got stressful reader 'offered' themselves to the boys as an outlet for their stress while trying to make them feel better

A/N: loved this request sm !! i swear i could write even more for each one of them; but i did just little blurbs. i hope i did it well !!

sonic

you’d never seen sonic stressed like this before. he was pacing around his home, more restless than usual; and you observed him from your spot on the couch, sprawled out and certainly more relaxed than the blue hedgehog. you’ve lived with him for a time. he had saved you from a little trafficking ring where you’d spent a better part of your life in - it had taken you a while to grow accustomed to life without begging for scraps in unpleasant ways, and then being tossed into random strangers arms for hours on end.

you owed your life to him. so you could feel your own anxiousness building the more you focused on his little nervous ticks. the pacing back and forth, shoes thumping on the ground, his ears giving little twitches and his tail lowered. you didn’t know how to help him, he never spoke about anything that bothered him. he always brushed it off with a smile and wink, insisting he was alright. you knew better than to believe him.

you slinked off of the couch, making your way over to him. he jerked as you wrapped your arms around him from behind, tucking your chin against his shoulder. he laughed; it sounded nervous and forced.

“ hey - whatcha doin’ back there? didn’t even hear you. “ you hummed softly, fingers beginning to trace against his chest. you saw his ear flick as he tried to crane his neck to look at you, “ you alright? “

“ are you? “ you asked instead, looking up at him. you frowned as he gave you a cheeky smile and shrug.

“ always am! y’know I can get ansty sometimes when there’s nothing to do. “ but you could feel the tension in his body as you held him, shoulders drawn tight and his breathing was slightly labored. your fingers began to trail down his torso, and he instinctively grasped onto your wrist.

“ h-hey, cmon, what’s up? “

“ lemme take care of you. “ you mumbled, lips pressing to his shoulder, and he tensed further, “ you don’t have to tell me why you’re stressed, but at least let me help relieve some of it.. “ your other hand moved instead, drawing dangerously close to his crotch. he yanked himself away and held his hands in front of him as he faced you.

“ no, no, none of that. “ sonic said sharply, on instinct. he hated the thought of using you in such a way after what you’d been through. he sighed and retried, “ no, it’s okay.. don’t ever think you need to do that for me. “ he grasped onto your hands, and you stared up at him with a bit of guilt and anxiousness.

“ I just.. “ he chewed his lip for a moment as he thought, “ things have been piling up for me.. sure I have the others but - people rely on me. and it can be a lot sometimes. I worry I might not be enough. I worry I won’t be able to save people when I’m needed most. “ he bowed his head with another heaved breath, and his arms wrapped around you.

he pulled you into a hug instead, burying his face into the crook of your neck. you slinked your arms around his shoulders and after a moment of hesitation, brushed your hand over his quills. he melted into your embrace at the touch. his voice was muffled as he spoke again.

“ this.. this is better. “ he squeezed you gently, “ can you just hold me like this a while longer? “

“ of course, sonic.. “

silver

it was late, and silver should be well asleep by now beside you; but he wasn’t. you keep from your shared room to the living room, where he sat down with his head in his hands, staring down at what seemed to be a map of the city while illuminated by candlelight. being a protector of a fallen planet was not easy work, worrying for so many people.

you were one of the lucky ones he had managed to find and save. a fallen planet was not easy to those who lived on it either; desperate people will do anything to those of perceived to have less power than them. with the smoke that covered the sky, you had lost track of how many years you’d spent being taken advantage of.

you made your way over and sat down beside him, pressing a gentle kiss to his temple.

“ you should be asleep. “ silver spoke softly, as he always did. his tone was what had lulled you into security when he found you.

“ so should you. “ you countered, looking down to the map before him. unintelligible scribbles and plans written over it, all the inner workings of his mind put onto paper. you knew he wouldn’t sleep on his own, not while overthinking like this.

you rested a hand on his knee, and he lifted his head to look over at you. he gave a small smile and pressed a kiss to your forehead.

“ get some sleep, I’ll be there soon, I promise. “ you gave a small shake of your head, your hand sliding further up his leg.

“ ‘m not tired.. “ you replied softly, lips pressing against his cheek, and then his jaw. he shuddered and melted into it; until your hand brushed over his crotch, where he jolted and took your hands. his muzzle was flushed and his breath was quick and trembling.

“ what are you doing? “ silver’s voice was quiet, unsure.

“ trying to help you. “ you replied, trying to work your wrist from his grip, “ you’re too worked up to sleep.. I can help you waste some of that energy; I’m good at it. “ his lips twitched into a frown, more out of sadness than anything as his mind caught up to what you were trying to do.

“ (y/n).. “ he sighed, his hand coming up to cradle your face, and you leaned into it, “ that’s not.. I don’t want to use you in that way. my stresses are my issue to take care of, not yours. and not in that way. “ his thumb stroked your cheek, “ I think to highly of you to do that. “

you frowned, shameful as you looked down at your lap. he crooned as he kissed your head, “ come on, love.. you’re right, we should both get some sleep. “ he waved off the candlelight he was using and rose from his spot. he helped you up along with him.

“ I adore you, (y/n). “ silver spoke as you made your way to the bedroom, “ know that. what would help me more than anything is having you by my side. that’s all I’ll ever need to get through this. “

“ okay. “ you whispered, settling into bed with the hedgehog, “ I love you. “

“ and I you. “

shadow

you jumped as you heard the door slam shut, knowing well shadow had come home. he didn’t usually come home upset but when he did, you knew it was because G.U.N was being unreasonable and while he could stand his ground against them; even he couldn’t deny certain missions. not when one had led him to you, where he had found you and saved you from the unfortunate life you had. you witnessed firsthand the rage in which he held.

you peeked from the doorway to watch him as he grumbled, tossing his gun down onto the table by the doorway, his quills bristled in frustration. you desperately wanted to help him, relax him somehow. you didn’t like seeing him upset. you inched your way out of the room, calling out to him with your voice light; not wanting to startle him.

“ shadow? are you okay? did something happen at work? “ you jumped as his head snapped in your direction, his expression alone making you shut your mouth. he was definitely not in the mood. he snarled as he made his way over.

“ what are you doing awake? can’t handle being alone for a moment too long? you always have to pester me with your useless questions; does it look like I’m okay? I get you may not have had much education where you were from but you can’t be stupid. “

you wished you could cave into yourself, make yourself smaller. he always said such harsh things when he was mad, directed at whatever or whoever was in the general direction of his view. you should have known better than to try and provoke that. you tried to keep your lip from wobbling as you dropped to your knees before him, and his look of anger flickered into confusion.

“ ‘m sorry, please don’t be mad at me. “ your fingers inched up his legs, and his eyes desperately flitted from your hands and your face, unsure of just what it was you were doing. you’d never done this sort of thing to him before. he winced as your fingers brushed at his thighs and he stepped away, your hands dropping to your lap.

“ no. “ shadow replied firmly, annoyance settling onto his face. he’d caught on, finally, “ get up. don’t be ridiculous; why would I want that from you? “

“ ‘m sorry. “ you sniffed, balling your hands on your lap, “ it’s.. it’s all I know to do. I don’t want you mad at me; I wanted to just make it up to you. please don’t hate me. “ you bowed your head, tears slipping down your face. you could hear him heave a sigh and he knelt before you. he tried to lift your face and you weakly fought against it, and the second time he was successful. he frowned at your tear-filled eyes.

he was clearly trying to determine how to fix this. emotions weren’t his strong suit, other than anger and pride. and he couldn’t even begin to imagine how your life was before he had found you; how complex it must be to still have those instincts engraved into your being.

“ I’m not mad at you. “ he decided to say, wiping your tears with the back of his fingers, “ my frustrations were.. misdirected. I shouldn’t have yelled at you, or.. insulted you. I should know better. “ you sniffled and nodded, to which he snorted softly; and then composed himself, “ I was offended on your behalf. I didn’t want you to think of me in that way, that I would use you for my own sake. “

he rose to his feet, helping you up gingerly, “ I helped you leave that place; I’ve heard what you’ve been through. it would be the last thing I would ask of you. not unless.. you decide for yourself. “ he averted his gaze for a moment and then focused, “ I apologize. “

“ it’s okay. “ you laughed tearfully, wiping off the rest of your tears onto your shoulder, “ are you hungry? I have your plate saved in the kitchen. “

“ I could eat. “ he nodded, “ care to keep me company? “ you smiled and tugged his hand to lead him to the kitchen.

scourge

“ fuckers! “ you heard scourge hiss from where you sat on his throne, entertaining yourself on your phone. you looked up to watch him stomping his way over, and you quickly got off to make room for him. he sat himself down and motioned for you to sit on his lap; he always insisted the weight of you on him relaxed him. you obeyed and looked up at him with a small pout.

“ what’s wrong? “ he groaned at the question and lolled his head back, as if remembering everything all over again; which only infuriated him more.

“ ungrateful citizens, that’s what! ya lead ‘em, ya let ‘em cause whatever chaos they want; and they still bitch and complain! “ you listened with little nods, letting him ramble on. it was the least you could do. you didn’t agree with all that he did; but after he ran into you you being sold off on a corner, stopping you before you climbed into the car of your next customer. once he’d found out what it was that was going on, he went on a rampage. he nearly beat your seller and the customer to a bloody pulp, and insisted you stayed with him - so he could keep an eye on you.

you both knew by now he’d taken a liking to you, whether he admitted to it or not. you jumped as he slammed his hand down onto the arm of his thrown, lip curled in a snarl as he threw his crown off across the room.

“ I should teach ‘em all a fuckin’ lesson! I’m the goddamn king! I deserve respect! “ he leered down at you, his frown curling into a smile, “ dontcha think? they should all be like you; all nice and obedient. never talk back a word. “

you shivered lightly, a cold, unsettled feeling building in your chest. you still nodded. this had to mean something, did it? he wanted you to do something. with trembling fingers, you shifted on his lap to face him. he blinked and watched you curiously, startled by the sudden movement. your hands slid down his chest and torso, creeping closer to his crotch. it took a moment for it to process, but his face flushed and his hands came to take yours; stopping them just before they’d reached their destination.

“ h-hey! “ he laughed nervously, “ almost went a little low there, babe. what’s up with ya? “ your nervous look cause his smile to falter slightly, and he sat up a bit, “ hey, what happened? c’mon, y’can tell me. “

“ i thought.. I thought you wanted me to do something. “ you replied quietly, fingers twitching anxiously, “ to help you calm down.. y’know? “ he blinked as the words proceeded, and he frowned.

“ what? no - never. d’you think I’d make ya do that? after what ya went through? I know ‘m a shitty guy, babe, but I ain’t a monster. “ he huffed, bringing your hands to his lips, and you flushed as he kissed over your knuckles, “ nah. I just like bein’ pissy and go on complainin’. I was only complimentin’ ya with what I said before. “

“ yer nice, and quiet, and you let me go on and on when someone’s got me riled up. I didn’ word it right. that was my fault, doll. “ he hooked his arm under your legs to shift you back into your original position, and coaxed you to lay your head against his chest, “ never gonna be a thing I ask of ya, alright? ya been through enough already. “

you nodded against him, relaxing into his hold with a sigh. you felt his hand smoothing over your head, and down to your and to give it a squeeze, “ yer alright here, doll. “ you closed your eyes with a smile, listening to him as he picked up his ramble again.

“ but those anti-mobian’s; ‘m tellin’ ya doll. they’re nothin’ but a mess, gotta just go down there and.. “

shadow x reader

A/N: sorry for dying on y’all - work was kicking my ass ! but i’m back with another shadow one shot because i’m obsessed with him. enjoy !

2:43 am. the light from your clock made it glaringly obvious the ungodly hour your found yourself to be awake at. your mind was much too busy to keep still in bed, tossing and turning and shifting as your thoughts screamed at you. you were starting to have too many nights like this.

you shoved your blanket off from you and swung your legs over the edge of the bed, rising to your feet. you padded your way to the door and opened it, peeking out into the dark hallway, squinting to make sure your roommate didn’t hear the creaking of the wood before you slipped out to make your way to the kitchen.

you flicked on the light, buzzing of the bulb the only sound to fill the silence as you began to rummage through the fridge for something to snack on. might as well occupy yourself with something good if you were going to be awake. in your concentration of debating whether to have an apple or a sandwich for your late night meal, you didn’t hear the steps following after you to join you in the kitchen.

“ what are you doing. “ you jolted and nearly hit your head on the roof of the fridge on your way out, turning to the voice. shadow stood there with his arms over his chest, still wearing his shoes and gloves. you squinted at the sight.

“ grabbing a snack. “ you replied, nabbing the apple before shutting the door, “ what about you? it’s late, I’d expected you to be asleep. “

“ I don’t necessarily need to. “ he replied with a small shrug, leaning against the doorway, “ I was cleaning my gun when I heard you leave your room. it’s late. “

“ oh wow, really? “ you craned your neck to look out of the window, faux awe on your face. you smirked at shadow’s humorless scoff, “ I couldn’t sleep, and I don’t think I will be able to for a while so.. apple. “ you lifted the fruit unceremoniously as you passed him to leave the kitchen.

“ any particular reason? “ he questioned before you could head back to your room, and you turned to face him again. the light illuminated the outline of his form.

“ just.. “ you waved vaguely to your head, “ busy up there. “ he hummed in acknowledgment, his face flickering with familiarity at the feeling. you were about to start turning again when he spoke up.

“ I could help. “ you rose a brow at him, “ since sleeping isn’t a necessity for me, and you won’t be asleep either.. I have something that could help. “ he motioned for you to leave your snack, and with a frown at having to discard a barely eaten apple you left it on the counter of the kitchen. he flicked off the light and began to make his way to the front door.

it was an outside thing then. you slid on your shoes and trailed after him as he stepped outside, making sure the door was locked before leading you to the side of the building. you stood patiently aside as he opened up the little garage, and as he pushed up the door you were met with something reflecting the moonlight.

shadow sent a smirk your way as he stepped into the darkness, and emerged with a sleek black and red motorcycle, his familiar insignia decorated on the sides. your lips parted in awe as he wheeled it up to stand it beside you.

“ you’ve had this the whole time? “ you gave him a shove to his shoulder, and he chuckled as he stood proudly before his bike.

“ I only use it for work; and at night. there’s no real reason for me to use it any other time. “ he hopped onto it, turning on the engine and giving it a little rev. you had a feeling he was showing off a bit. you smiled and rolled your eyes.

“ you’re offering me a ride then? “

“ no, I pulled it out just for you to take a look. “ he mimicked your earlier sarcasm, and held his hand out to you, “ yes, come on. before I change my mind and leave you to suffer with your thoughts. “

you didn’t hesitate then to take his hand, climbing onto the seat behind him. after a beat he motioned for you to wrap your arms around him.

“ you have to hang on. I hope you realize these things don’t have seatbelts. “ you let out a small embarrassed huff as you obeyed and wrapped your arms around his torso, clinging onto his back. he gave a small nod in satisfaction before kicking up the stand, and after making sure you were going to stay holding onto him; he rolled out of the driveway.

with another rev of the engine, he peeled out onto the road and the sudden speed startled you, making you tighten your grip on the hedgehog. you could feel the wind nipping at your skin, and you had to duck behind shadow’s back in order to keep your eyes open against the wind. you focused onto the side views instead; watching trees and buildings and eventually, other cars as they whizzed by.

your heart was racing at the adrenaline of the quick drive, and yet, shadow moved with precision. he was quite talented on the bike. he weaved and steered between vehicles, clearing out of the busy night streets before he found a nice empty road; and from then on out, it was only you, him, and the rumbling of the bike.

it was peaceful. you looked up to the night sky, the moon bright as it shone onto you and the sky freckled with stars. it was mesmerizing. as if shadow could sense your awe, he glanced back to you with a smug little smile.

“ enjoying yourself? “ you huffed and lightly hit his chest, and then pressed your cheek to his shoulder as you nodded. he chuckled, “ whenever I happen to find myself.. lost in my head, or lost in general; I do this. I find an empty road and I drive, until I find myself back home or until the sun rises. whichever comes first. “

“ you do it a lot? “ you asked quietly, and he was silent for a moment before replying.

“ often enough. “ you fell silent again, and shadow seemed content with that. his hand came back to rest on your knee and give a reassuring squeeze, in a simple gesture that eased the rest of whatever worries you had lingering.

the ride lasted for a good few hours, and by the time you found yourself back home you were drowsy. the rise and fall of shadow’s breathing underneath your cheek and the rumbling sounding from the motorcycle, feeling it reverberate through you seemed to soothe you enough to relax you into such a state. when the bike wheeled back up to your shared home, you lifted your head tiredly to let shadow slide off.

you could barely keep your eyes open as you moved to get off as well, and you could hear shadow chuckling as his arms reached out to help you. you fell forward into his chest, huffing as you closed your eyes fully and mumbled, arms wrapping around his shoulders in a silent request for him to lift you.

“ I don’t wanna walk. “

“ what are you, a child? “ you gave a huff and light kick to his leg. he sighed and after a moment to see if you would budge, he relented and wrapped his arms around your waist. he lifted you, and as you wrapped yourself around him, he made his way to the door. you could feel yourself beginning to nod off, cheek resting on the hedgehog’s shoulder as he made his way inside and towards your room.

you felt your sheets beneath you as you were settled onto the bed, your shoes being slipped off of your feet and then your blanket enveloping you. you squinted your eyes open to look up at shadow as he tucked you in, a small look of concentration on his face, as if he’d never done it before. he only frowned at your sleepy smile.

“ go to sleep. “ he murmured, his hand covering over your eyes to make you close them again. you laughed drowsily and swatted his hand away, then covered your mouth as you yawned. god you were tired. you nestled yourself comfortably in your pillows as you listened to shadow’s shoes thumping against the floor as he made his way towards the door of your room.

“ shadow? “ he hummed in acknowledgment, his steps pausing, “ thanks.. for taking me out. It helped a lot. “

“ I’m glad. “ he replied quietly.

“ can we do it again, sometime? just for fun? “ he chuckled softly.

“ we’ll see. get some rest. “

“ you too, okay? “ it was silent then, and you could faintly make out the click of your door as it closed, already fading out of consciousness as your lack of sleep finally caught up to you. you dreamt of riding out on shadow’s back under a starry sky, content and at peace with the hedgehog before you.

scourge x reader

A/N: trying to convince people into the scourge hype as my second fave behind shadow - he may only be in the comics, but god do I love his character 🙏

you had hated him. he was arrogant, violent, power-hungry, and never took no for an answer. he paraded himself around the city like he was the self-proclaimed king he was; crown atop his head and red lenses covering his eyes, a sharp-toothed smile adorning his face. chaos forbid someone look at him the wrong way, because with a snap of his fingers they would be taken care of, left battered and bruised where they last stood.

and not to mention the women. monogamy was a word of fairy tail to him, a new chick hanging off his arm, scourge showing them off like some tacky piece of jewelry. sometimes, he would even have two of them - and even on the same day. he’d gotten his fair share of backhands across the face, a smug smile on his face like he hadn’t done a thing wrong. he was king after all, he could have as many women as he’d like; couldn’t he?

 but you weren’t prone to his charms, either. as much as you had despised him, cursed his being with every bit of your soul, he had found a way to weasel himself into your home. at first, it was for the usual hookups; he’d stumble to your door drunk and desperate, and you indulged in it. you got a good fuck out of it, and you would wake to him gone in the morning. it was a fair give and take. but then, after a couple of months, he’d begun to stick around. you would wake to his green spiked in your face, and you would shove him off your bed with a snark at him to get out already. he’d snag a a snack from your pantry and waltz his way out.

and then he stayed later. you gave up on kicking him out and let him lay in bed, getting a pot of coffee going. he’d shuffle his way into the kitchen at the smell of roasted coffee beans, rubbing at his eyes and mumbling something about staying in bed longer with him. you just shoved a mug of coffee into his hands, not caring if the scorching liquid splashed on him; and sent him to sit down. he would oblige, and you would give a simple breakfast of toast and eggs. he’d scarf it down, along with his piping hot coffee, and would leave with a wink and half-assed thanks for breakfast.

you don’t know when those days blended in with you waking up with him snuggled against the crook of your neck, his chest against your back and his arms locked around your waist. he didn’t even come by just for sex anymore; some days, sure, but the rest he would just make his way into your home; which you’d given him the key to so he would stop waking you at midnight; and he would join you in bed where you already slept. and you didn’t even mind. you never questioned him either, afraid that if you dared mention his new, odd schedule that he would pull back and avoid you altogether. you didn’t want that; not when you finally started to enjoy his company.

you woke one morning with scourge cradling you from behind. you didn’t make any movements yet, enjoying the sensation of his chest rising and falling against you as he slept, his breath fanning at the back of your neck. your hand slipped down to rest against scourge’s as it rested on your stomach, stroking your thumb against the back of it; his fur soft beneath the pad of your finger. he always took his gloves off before getting into bed with you.

you turned carefully in his grasp to look up at scourge’s sleeping form. the only time he ever looked peaceful was when he slept. his usual leering smirk nonexistent and instead parted in soft breaths, his furrowed brows relaxed and making him actually look youthful. he had eye bags, not so heavy as when you first met him, you noticed. and then ears, lightly twitching in his sleep, adorned with golden studs; one of his ears missing the tip. torn off in some fight years ago, you would assume.

you trailed down his form to his fuzzy pink chest, three faded yet still prominent scars torn across. he was always happy to brag about his scars, boast about his won battles and fights; except those three. when you questioned him he avoided it, waving you off that they were unimportant. that it was the same as any of his other stories. you didn’t push further.

“ like what yer seein’ dollface? “ you jerked up as he spoke, an unamused expression forming across your face as that smirk made its way across his lips, “ take a picture, yeah? lasts longer. “

“ shut up. “ you mumbled, shifting to sit up. his hand grasped onto your waist and tugged you back into him, which you didn’t fight against. you huffed as you fell back into the pillows and looked up at him as he instead moved to hover over you.

“ already so feisty so early in the mornin’? ain’t even said hi yet. “

“ hi. “ you replied boredly, and he flashed fangs as he grinned.

“ hey, dollface. “ he dipped down and pressed a kiss to your lips, which you eagerly leaned into. he’d learned to kiss you softer when once he’d gotten too excited and cut your lip open - he’d made it up to you with more kisses, tongue lapping at the blood and gentle murmurs of not meaning to be so rough.

you pulled back before he could get any thoughts of taking it further, pressing a hand against his chest and nudging him back. you looked up at him, expecting a more heated expression on his face - but you were surprised to see him simply admiring you. his eyes darted across your face, and then down your form, taking you in. it flustered you. you huffed and pressed your hand over his eyes, blocking his vision.

“ get up - I need coffee. “

“ hey, cmon, stay in bed this once? y’always get up too early. “ scourge complained, his arms caging you on the bed as he pouted. you snickered and uncovered his eyes.

“ if I stay in this bed any longer, I’m never getting up. “

“ ‘s kinda the point. “

“ you know what kind of person asks someone else to stay in bed like this? “

“ what. “

“ boyfriends. boyfriends ask their lovers to stay in bed to kiss and fuck and cuddle. “ you replied with a scoff, hoping that would be enough to startle him off you. but he didn’t budge.

“ boyfriend? “ he echoed, craning his head as he stared you down, not looking at all discouraged by your words like you’d hoped, “ ‘s that what ya see me as? “ you sputtered, feeling your face burn with a flush.

“ n-no! I’m just saying - hookups don’t ask for this kinda stuff, “ you averted your gaze, trying to keep from giving any kind of hint of your attraction to him. no way he would simply choose you. he loved his lifestyle.

when the silence lingered for a bit too long, you finally turned to face him, and immediately you were met with a kiss. you let out a small sound, startled by the gesture, but just as before you melted into it. your hands looped around his shoulders and you relished the gesture. scourge’s hand slid up to rest on your waist, his other hand still keeping him steadily over you, and as he pulled himself back you found yourself chasing after him. he smirked at your desperation.

“ all y’had to do was say so, y’know. “ he replied nonchalantly, “ it’s been - what - a year almost? y’think I keep my hookups round that long just cause they’re a good fuck? ‘s what my phone’s for, I don’t stick around. “ he dipped down to kiss your jaw, sighing, “ ‘m not gonna be great, I’ll tell ya that now. “

“ I know. “ you whispered, grasping onto his quills as he moved down to your neck.

“ might slip up and hurt ya. “

“ I know. “

“ why d’you want me anyways. y’know what kinda person i am - even i know ‘m shitty. “

“ I don’t know. “ you lifted his face to look down at him properly, “ I just.. know I like you. you’re different here than how you are out there. you don’t.. act. “ he hummed softly, pressing a few kisses against the palm of your hand, only serving to fluster your further.

“ y’sure you want me dollface? “ you nodded your head, and he gave you a toothy smile - softer than the usual ones, his eyes crinkling as he leaned in closer, “ then you’ve got me. just have some patience, alright? “

you nodded again, and captured his lips in another kiss. this time he was the one who was eager to reciprocate, tugging the blankets over the two of you once more. you both got what you had wanted in the end - you had gotten scourge to be solely yours, and scourge got you to stay in bed with him for the day.

shadow x reader

A/N: i’m a sucker for shadow, as well as hozier; so this was a tangent of how i imagine him to feel when in a relationship. also very heavily based on hozier’s song ‘too sweet’.

he didn’t know what he did in his life to ever deserve you. he’d done many things he wasn’t proud of, his morals weren’t entirely aligned; if at all aligned; with yours. you were kind, and patient, and gentle. everything he was not. but you had still chosen him. the muddled mess of mobian and black arm, his dna a mesh of emotion and violence that had his mind in constant clashing within itself.

any other person would have been infinitely better, would have given you the adoration and worship you deserved without the trauma like which he held. trauma that made him would lose his patience, snap at you with fangs bared, the constant anger that festered in his chest released at you - sweet and undeserving. yet, you still remained. waited until his fit dwindled down and the guilt ate at him, where you held him in your arms and assured him; told him you knew his words were empty and untruthful. and they were. he just couldn’t hold back his tongue when his frustrations built.

you were sweet. sickeningly so, it made his stomach ache and his teeth hurt. but like the delicacy that you were he couldn’t help coming back for more. you allowed him to touch you, hold you, kiss you; all of which he would have never found himself longing for. he’d heard of the fantasies called love, stories read in his home back on the ark, and he could never have envisioned himself as the knight in shining armor; of the handsome prince finding his princess. much less when he awoke on earth with a burning hate and want for vengeance.

then you sauntered along, like you knew exactly what it was he was missing, and gave him the kindness he never deserved. even as he scoffed and snarked at you, insulted you with things that were never true, you persevered. you came back like a migraine; which he called you on many occasions. each time you smiled, like it was a compliment, and stuck alongside him in whatever he did. he found himself to enjoy your company. you talked, and talked, and talked and he listened. you filled in the silence with your voice, quieting the constant one in his mind. he found himself searching for you on the days you didn’t visit him yourself.

you confessed to him first. of course, you had. as your poured your heart to him all he could think of was how much he didn’t deserve you; how could you love a creature like him? you hadn’t even seen the worst of it. and so, as he was prone to doing, he pushed you away. insisted you were confused, mistaking the appreciation of company for love; that you must have been the loneliest person on the whole pathetic planet if you found yourself to liking him. you were idiotic to ever think he would return such a declaration.

you were too good for him, too kind and empathetic and he would only hurt you; he would hate to hurt you. he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if he had.

and you smiled. it was teary, wobbly as he broke your heart then mended it together again. he could feel his chest heave and tremble as you reached out for him, frozen still as your fingers grazed his cheek, then your palm as you held it. he crumbled. you; sweet, loving, and ever-patient you. he would have never thought of himself to be one brought to tears but all the time you had spent carefully, intricately unbuilding his walls; that was the last chip you needed to whittle off to break the dam.

he curled over you, trembling as he clung onto you and held you against his chest. he was sure he was suffocating you in his hold but you didn’t object, stroking along his back and not uttering a word as he simply held you. he couldn’t find the words to speak, to begin to apologize nor return the grand gesture that was your confession; and you didn’t expect it. because you knew him, the hug was more than enough for the time being.

in any way; he knew you knew you had managed to wiggle your way into his heart without him ever even knowing. made him weak against you, wrapped around your pretty little finger and he was never objected to it. he was yours long before you were ever his. and selfishly so, as undeserving as he was, he wouldn’t want it any either way. and you wouldn’t either.

and so while he didn’t know what he did to ever deserve you; he made a vow to himself, and to you, that he would love you with every fiber that was his being. even with his temper, his hatred, his indifference to much that surrounded him; he would never do a thing to hurt you. you were his morality, his beloved; who loved him just as much, but (to him) never more, than he loved you. and the kind, and gentle, and patient being that was you, would nurture that was in his creation and lead him to betterment.

because you had chosen him; and he would worship you.

𝙃𝙀𝙔𝙔𝙔! IT'S GOOD TO SEE A SONIC FANS WITH YEAR OF SHADOW!! (uhm okay 'got to excited)

So can I request team sss (silver sonic shadow yk) and villain also sibling!reader okay so before reader become a villain they were siblings and they had so much time together before their parents d##d in a accident sooo what will they react to their sister? Do they fight? Or her sister just ignore them until they decide to speak to her?

THANK YOU HAVE A NICE DAYY!

A/N: thank you thank you!! I got a bit carried away in the plot for each one, and with different types of endings for each of the boys - so I hope they can be satisfactory!! thank you for the suggestion!!

silver

silver didn’t know what happened. one moment, you two were growing up together, trying to survive in the apocalyptic world you were both born into and then the next; you turned your back on him. perhaps you’d grown tired of starvation, constant fear and fighting, and sleepless nights plagued by nightmares that not even silver could protect you from. he felt like a failure. he knew he couldn’t protect his world solely on his own, but you? you were his family. he could have at least protected you.

he found you terrorizing a few survivors of their scraps, cornering them with a sharp weapon and threats of ending them. silver flung the weapon from your grasp, and as you jerked your head his way, he could see the conflicting emotions flicker across your face. anger, confusion, longing, and then back to anger again. you wanted to run away and forget you ever ran into him - but your legs wouldn’t move. your victims escaped as your eyes drifted down, surely silver was using his powers against you to keep you from leaving.

he wasn’t. it was your fear and panic alone - something you hadn’t felt in some time.

“ (y/n).. “ silver’s voice was soft, like you always remembered it. it never failed to put you at ease. you reluctantly met his gaze, expecting disappointment - disgust even. you nearly choked up as he approached you with a look of relief, “ you’re okay. I’m so glad you’re okay. you look.. well. “

you flinched as his hand came to your face, cradling your cheek against his palm and you found your bottom lip trembling, your breath stuttering as you attempted to inhale. you’d missed him. His expression shifted into one of worry as his thumb swiped your cheek. tears.

“ I’m sorry. “ you forced out, “ I’m sorry - I couldn’t take it anymore. I was only a nuisance to you, you had so much to worry about and.. “ he shushed you, his arms coming around you and pulling you into his chest.

“ it’s okay. it’s okay.. I’m just glad you’re okay. “ silver replied, stroking the back of your head, “ you should have spoken to me. you were never a nuisance. I worry for you because I’m your brother - I’m supposed to. I’m always going to want to protect you.. “ he pulled away to look down at you, “ you’re all I have left.. if I lost you.. I don’t know what I’d do. “

silver pressed a kiss to your head, and pulled away to take your hand, “ come on.. let me take you back. we’ll work together from bow on, okay? we’ll keep each other safe. “ you hiccuped and nodded, trailing after him as you wiped away your tears.

sonic

sonic was first on arrival, as per usual, when he heard a village was set on fire. he was used to petty villainy, but this was a step above that - and not one he was accustomed to. but he could manage. he raced along to help the locals escape, and just as he was wrapping that up - he skidded to a stop. those spikes, those eyes.. they felt much too familiar.

“ (y/n)? “ he found himself calling out before he could think twice - and the figure turned. it was you. it had been some years since you’d disappeared, sometime after your parents had died. he was bent in sticking to justice and good; living a life they would be proud of. and you had other plans. you were determined to avenge them, revenge your only fuel for living now. in the few times he’d ran into you, he couldn’t seem to change your mind. too bad it looked like you lost your way along that path.

in his shock, he didn’t bother to dodge as your lunged at him - toppling him to the ground. you hissed at him as you swung, and his arms came up to protect his face from the punches. the pain was numbed as he stared up at you, taking in the features he’d grown up knowing. your gentle eyes were hardened, and your smile had disappeared, a constant snarl. he couldn’t hit you back no matter how much his instincts told him to protect himself. you were his family. if he fought and turned you in now; who was to say he would ever see you again?

he could hear faint running steps coming his direction; which brought him back to reality. the fire. it was hot, sweat beading and matting at his fur, the flames licking at him. they’d grown in the time he was distracted with you. you seemed to hear it too as you pulled yourself back, a conflicted emotion flashing over your face before you leaped up. you threw one last final glare his way before you ran off, disappearing in the fire and into the forest. he sat up and turned to see the others coming to help put out the fire.

“ sonic! “ amy ran up to him, grasping onto his arms and tugging him. he followed numbly as he looked down at his bruised and battered arms, “ are you okay? what happened back there? “ he only shook his head in response, looking back to where you’d ran off to. he’d have to look for you again. he could change your mind - couldn’t he?

shadow

shadow could admit, he was never one to follow a straight line. he did what he needed to so long as it helped him accomplish his goals. thieving, lying, or even helping his rival, sonic, if need be. good or bad; he was neither. and even if he’d contemplated ending a life by his own hands, he had never done so. he promised Maria he wouldn’t. you did too; raised alongside him on the ark and raised by the doctor gerald robotnik. but it seemed as if that promise meant nothing to you.

what led you down this path, he had no idea. he witnessed the same traumas as you had, suffered like you, and yet, you both were so incredibly different. G.U.N had sent him to investigate a series of deaths involving their soldiers and to find the culprit. all his leads brought him here, to you. you stood above a fellow G.U.N member, gun in hand and pressed tightly against their forehead. they were pleading for their life, and you took it in sadistically.

“ (y/n). “ shadow appeared before you, and your weapon was promptly lifted to him instead, brows furrowed into a glare.

“ you work with them? “ you scoffed, looking your brother up and down with an almost disapproved look, “ humans? they’re weak. they destroyed everything we ever knew and cared for - you *work* with them? *for* them? “

“ you knew maria wanted us to protect them. we are stronger than they are, yes; they are weak, and that is why we are here - “

“ they killed her! “ you snapped, finger on the trigger. shadow did not look phased, “ they killed her, because they are weak, simple minded creatures driven by fear. they destroy what they don’t understand. “ the next thing you knew, shadow was indirectly in front of you and grasping the barrel of the gun - yanking it from your grasp.

you lunged at him, and you both wrestled and fought. shadow was significantly stronger than you, gaining more of dark doom’s dna than you had - but he was holding back, and you knew it.

“ you’re just as weak. “ you grinned maliciously, “ just as emotional and pathetic as they are. you can’t hurt me, just because we’re related. if I truly am a threat you should just end me. “ you slashed at his face, and he growled as your nails tore the skin on his cheek - blood beading at the wounds.

shadow grasped the gun and for a moment, you thought he would shoot you - he would take your suggestion and end your being. instead, a sharp pain cracked at the side of your skull, and you were thrown off shadow. the world spun as you tried to focus on the way he moved - rose to his feet and grasp onto the G.U.N member you hadn’t gotten to kill. he dropped the gun and looked down at you, and you swore you saw sadness in his eyes as he spat.

“ you are not worth killing, “ he paused, “ and you are not worth saving. if I ever find you to end another human life - I will be there. and I won’t hesitate. “ and he was gone in a flash of green, leaving you to collect yourself.

shadow x reader

you walked into shadow staring intently at the coffee machine set inside the kitchenette of robotnik’s ship. he’d been recently freed from his cryogenic chamber and was growing accustomed to the more modern life; considering the time he was last roaming was 50 odd so years ago; and figuring out the functions of everything onboard. he always bragged of his power and intelligence, so it was quite humorous to see him grumbling to himself as he attempted to figure out the little machine that sat atop the counter.

“ figured it out yet? “ you called to him from the doorframe, the only signal that he heard you was a small twitch from his ear. after a beat of silence he spoke.

“ how long have you stood there for. “

“ long enough. “ he seemed annoyed at that, shoulders hunching for a moment before he crossed his arms and turned to face you, his constant face of stoicism remaining.

“ I have not. “ he admitted, looking like the statement didn’t affect him - even though you knew he knew that you’d seen him glaring at the coffee machine. a smile twitched at the corner of your lip as you made your way over to him.

“ have you ever even had coffee? “ you asked as you slipped beside him to open up a cabinet, stretching for a mug that lay on the shelf.

“ no, but it’s tempted me. dr. robotnik - “ he paused and grimaced, “ gerald, my creator, would drink it often when doing tasks and experiments on the ark. he would not let me try it. “

“ what, he said no and you listened? “ you teased, and he frowned at you, looking somewhat sheepish. it was silly through other’s eyes, “ well, anyways, I’ll show you how it works. wanna try a flavor or just plain coffee? “

“ flavors? “ shadow seemed intrigued, watching as you pulled over a little pod carousel. you couldn’t help but laugh a bit at the way he peered over your shoulder to examine the selection, which caused him to promptly step aside.

“ yeah - there’s like.. caramel, vanilla, hazelnut, toffee nut, pumpkin spice.. and then just regular one without any flavor. robotnik likes that one. it’s gross. “ shadow gave you a pointed look and reached to nab a pod from the holder, giving it to you. you judged him silently for the selection, but obeyed and popped open the top.

“ you put this little pod in here, and then close it. “ you explained your actions as you did them, and then grabbed the mug to put into the slotted section in the machine, “ then, these buttons up top are for the size cup. always just pick the middle one, all our mugs are the same. “ you could feel the hedgehog’s body heat returning close beside you as he watched you, looking too intensely considering the fact it was just coffee, “ then, you press this big button and it’ll do the rest on its own. “

you stepped back as the machine began to make a subtle sound, and coffee began to drip into the cup. you looked over to shadow and smiled smugly.

“ can the ultimate life form handle that next time? “ he huffed at you, throwing a glare before his focus returned to the machine before you, watching the steady stream and the scent of roasted coffee beans beginning to fill the room.

“ and it stops on its own? “ you nod, and he looked slightly impressed. you both stood in somewhat comfortable silence as the machine worked, and as the final drips settled into the mug, you motioned for him to grab onto it.

“ it’s hot though, so careful - don’t burn yourself. “ shadow scoffed as his gloved hand reached for the ceramic.

“ I think I can manage it. “ he replied, bringing the mug up to his face in order to sniff, and when he seemed pleased at the aroma he sipped. you noticed his eye twitch slightly, and he turned away as he swallowed down the liquid. when he faced you again you held a smirk, raising a brow, “ shut up. “

you both moved to the little dining table - two chairs, one for each of you. there was never any need for more as it was only you and robotnik who ever used the kitchen. shadow had allowed his drink to cool down considerably before attempting another sip, and you watched as his eyes slid closed and a soft little hum rise from his throat. when he opened his eyes again, you gave him a smile.

“ like it? “

“ it’s.. pleasant. bitter but, not unbearably so. “ he replied, lifting the mug once more to drink from it. he nodded and sighed, “ yes, I like it. “ you gave a small, triumphed cheer as you rose from your seat.

“ great! now we can spend our morning making coffee together. “ you padded your way to make your own cup of coffee, unaware of the steely, red eyes following your movements, “ maybe I can get you to try the other flavors - they’re definitely better than just plain black y’know. and there’s soooo many.. “

too enraptured in your talking and moving, you didn’t catch the glimpse of a smile shadow wore, sitting patiently awaiting for you as he continued to sip from his mug.
