This Side Of Memory

Summary:

For the first time in days, Shadow finds that having his memories lost isn't so bad.

It's not always that you get a second chance at the first time

Notes:

You know the drill, 18+ ONLY. Characters have been aged up.
This is the skippable chapter of Remembering You, sandwiched between the events of chapter 17 and chapter 18. I HIGHLY recommend that you read Remembering You through chapter 17 beforehand, for context. But you do you!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Shadow walks into his dimly lit bedroom. It smells of eucalyptus and mint, Sonic having lit the candle to his bedside. Speaking of, the hedgehog is sitting on the foot of the bed, facing the doorway. 

 

Shadow stops breathing.

 

Sonic sits on the bed completely bare. His socks and gloves litter the floor. Bare paws are the same peach as his arms and chest, feet the same blue that makes him so recognizable. Blunt claws are so different from Shadow's own, white and small. Sonic's smile is unsure but not at the same time, a charming thing that makes Shadow smile in response. 

 

Sonic's the most beautiful thing Shadow has ever seen, now and forever. 

 

"You didn't make me wait long," Sonic says, voice hardly a whisper. He's nervous, this much Shadow can tell. His shoulders are stiff and back is straighter than normal. But he's such a brave thing, too. Nerves aren't enough to stop him from getting what he wants. 

 

Shadow says nothing, just walks over to Sonic, stopping about a foot away. "Are you sure you want this?"

 

Sonic nods, voice eager as he says, "I want this. Without a doubt." He shifts nervously, eyes looking everywhere but Shadow's when he asks, "Do you want this? You're in a delicate place right now."

 

Shadow barks with laughter. "I could say the same to you." Sonic cocks his head in confusion. Shadow steps forward, kneeling before his angel. "I know the last few days have been hard for you. I can't imagine what it's been like."

 

Once again Sonic looks everywhere but Shadow's face. "Yeah, it was hard but it's nothing compared to what you've had to deal with," he mumbles. 

 

"Don't minimize what you've gone through, especially not for my sake." Shadow touches Sonic's cheek, finger lightly trailing down the hero's jaw. "You've been so strong, and I can't thank you enough for staying by my side through it all."

 

Sonic closes his eyes and lets out a sob. He breathes in deep, and when he looks at Shadow he looks bashful. "I'm always going to be here for you, ok?"

 

Shadow nods. He knows. He remembers. Remembers every time that Sonic has fought by his side. Every time Sonic fought to be seen as his equal, his friend. Remembers every time Sonic has comforted him, supported him. He knows. 

 

Moving slowly, Sonic brings his hands from where they've been resting on the bed and cradles Shadow's face. His bare hands on Shadow's fur sends a thrill down the hybrid's spine. Sonic looks just as excited. 

 

"Your fur is so soft," he says, amazed. "And you're so warm. How are you so warm?"

 

Shadow leans into his touch, eyes fluttering shut. He trembles with want as Sonic pets him, soft hands touching his cheeks, his head. Blunt nails scratch his scalp and Shadow purrs. Sonic gasps, and makes a high pitched whine. It makes Shadow open his eyes, and God , what a sight he's met with. 

 

Sonic's eyes are dark, green hardly seen. His pretty lips are parted and his face flushed, evident by his ears. The charming things are standing straight in attention, flicking sporadically. Sonic looks enamored and it makes Shadow swell with pride.

 

In more than one place.

 

Without breaking eye contact, Shadow brings his hands to Sonic's thighs. He squeezes them, making Sonic whimper. Shadow can see that his mound is hardening, can see that Sonic wants him. 

 

Good .

 

"Let's get these off, shall we?" Shadow gives Sonic's thigh one last squeeze before withdrawing, just enough to shed his gloves. He practically tears them off, not missing how Sonic gulps and stares.

 

Sonic licks his lips as he takes in Shadow's claws, heavy and curled. His eyes are wide, eager. Shadow knows just what to do. He brings his hands back to Sonic's thighs, letting his claws gently scratch and indent the firm flesh underneath. 

 

Sonic bites back a groan. "That won't do," Shadow says. "Let me hear you." His angel nods, sweet and delightful. Shadow can't wait to draw more reactions from him. So he spreads Sonic's legs and presses a kiss on his inner thigh, near his knee. 

 

Sonic's breath hitches, and his hands come to grip striped headquills rather tight. Shadow hums in approval. He trails upwards, pressing open mouthed kisses on soft blue fur. Sonic groans quietly when Shadow's fangs graze, so he's sure to do so often. When Shadow reaches Sonic's crotch, the hedgehog squirms.

 

"Relax. I'll take care of you, you know that," Shadow purrs. Sonic does just that, taking a deep breath and letting himself go loose. Shadow licks the hedgehog's mound, smirking at the sharp intake of breath he hears immediately after. Shadow stops there, for now.

 

"Question - do we use condoms?" Shadow assumes that they do, but he wants to be sure. He looks up at Sonic and sees confusion. 

 

"No?" Sonic answers. "I have some, though." He looks away, then back nervously. "But I'm clean and I know you are, so if you want to continue without them…"

 

Shadow growls. He wants that more than anything. To taste and please with no barriers. But… "You were expecting something to happen tonight, weren't you?" 

 

Sonic grows stiff, flustered. His hands shoot from Shadow's quills to his face. He doesn't answer for some time, and Shadow can practically hear the gears turning in his head. With a defeated sigh, Sonic slumps and moves his hands to support him on the bed. "Yes," he mummers. 

 

Shadow's ecstatic. "And just how did you plan to seduce me?" 

 

Sonic bites his lip. "I knew you would go home after the party and would probably fall asleep in the living room watching TV. Parties always tire you out, emotionally. So I was going to come and… what you're doing to me right now, actually."

 

Shadow's eyes widen. "What a delight that would have been," he mumbles. Sonic really does know him well, that would have been the perfect way to seduce him. "Had I known you were so willing to be where we are now, I wouldn't have been so conservative in my pursuit of you."

 

Sonic looks speechless. Shadow savors every expression, recommitting them to memory. "But enough of that, let's get back to this ," he tilts his chin at Sonic's mound, "shall we?" Sonic nods his head quickly.

 

Shadow presses his lips to it, coaxing Sonic's length out as he grips muscular thighs. Sonic whines and whimpers, moving his hips just so. Shadow presses his tongue flat on Sonic's slit, groaning when the head of Sonic's cock breaches it. He leans back, watching as the hedgehog's length becomes fully exposed.

 

Sonic is pink, long, and thick. Shadow is impressed by the dick before him, nearly drooling when he thinks of what it may feel like inside of him. What it feels like splitting him open, filling him with hot cum. Not able to control himself, he licks the tip.

 

The sob that tears itself from Sonic's throat makes Shadow throb. He repeats the action, then licks from base to tip before taking the head into his mouth. Sonic yelps, hips bucking forward at the sudden warmth and wetness. He babbles apologies, but Shadow doesn't mind. 

 

Shadow locks eyes with Sonic as he takes him deeper and deeper, until his nose brushes against the soft fur of the hedgehog's groin. He swallows, and Sonic throws back his head in pleasure. Shadow bobs his head, sucking his angel off with enthusiasm. 

 

Sonic tastes amazing. He feels amazing. Sounds amazing. Shadow wants more. 

 

Shadow moves his hands up to blue hips, grabbing them and encouraging Sonic to move. Sonic begins to protest, "I don't want to hurt you--" but Shadow growls. After a moment the hedgehog indulges him, first moving his hips slowly.

 

When Shadow's eyes flutter shut, lost in the act of pleasuring his lover, Sonic picks up the pace. Shadow goes lax, letting the hero do as he pleases. Sonic grunts as he fucks Shadow's throat, hands coming back to striped quills and guiding the hybrid's head.

 

Shadow is ready, ready for Sonic to spill in his mouth when suddenly the hedgehog slows to a stop. Shadow pulls off in confusion. "Is something wrong?"

 

"No, you're fucking amazing," Sonic pants out. "But I want us to come together. Get up here." He pats his lap.

 

As much as he'd like to taste what Sonic has to give, Shadow supposes that can wait. He can't say no to Sonic's proposal. 

 

Shadow stands and shuffles off his socks. He notices Sonic staring, and he smugly smiles at how enamored the hedgehog looks with his cock. He's roughly the same length as Sonic, though not as girthy. Where Sonic's is a lovely shade of pink, Shadow's is bright red, save for the black bumps all around his length. His dick also curves upward.

 

How charming, that even after taking him to bed before Sonic looks at Shadow as if it's all new. 

 

After giving Sonic a few more moments to drool, Shadow climbs onto the hedgehog's lap as instructed. He puts his knees on either side of Sonic's splayed legs, and wraps his hands around their dicks. The two groan in unison. "Is this alright?" 

 

Sonic's eyes are half lidded. He tilts his head up and kisses Shadow fiercely. His hands come to black hips, gripping them tight. He sucks on Shadow's tongue before pulling away, a grin on his face as he says, "How are you so fucking sexy?"

 

Shadow takes that as a yes. 

 

He rolls his hips, sparks of ecstasy flying as their lengths rub against each other. It's slow, at first. They both breathe heavily as they get acquainted, attention flitting from eyes to between them. One of Sonic's hands moves from Shadow's hip to his back, keeping the hybrid steady. His muzzle comes to the crook of Shadow's neck. The hybrid picks up the pace then, eager to get more friction. 

 

As Shadow rides Sonic's lap, the hedgehog kisses his neck. Sonic presses his lips to all the right places, nips in ways that make Shadow moan. He sucks and licks his way up, pressing the small of the hybrid's back closer.

 

It's too good. It's so much. It's not fair.

 

Shadow hates the disadvantage he's at. Sonic knows just what to do, just how to drive him to the edge. Shadow can't do the same. He doesn't remember how to make Sonic moan, make him scream. Doesn't remember what the hedgehog likes, what he loves. Doesn't remember--

 

Sonic sinks blunt fangs into Shadow's neck and bites . Shadow feels a jolt of pleasure with the pain, unable to contain the whine he makes. He shivers when he hears Sonic growl, "You can brood later."

 

Sonic licks the spot he just abused, tender. "Don't overthink, ok? I think we've both done enough of that." Shadow nods, frantic and submissive. Sonic makes a noise, and when Shadow looks at him the hedgehog crashes their lips together. 

 

Shadow's close. His pace becomes erratic as Sonic dominates his mouth. He loses himself in Sonic's heated movements. When his bouncing becomes too much for a kiss to be sustained, they part and Sonic comes back to the crook of Shadow's neck. He pants against it, groaning out Shadow's name.

 

Shadow can't take it. He's losing his footing but he doesn't care. It's worth it to feel Sonic's hands on his ass - one teases and pulls at his tail, and the fingers of the other brush over his hole. Sonic's teeth find their way to his sensitive flesh once more, the pressure growing with each thrust. Shadow feels the tension building, building, and then--

 

Sonic comes with a bark of Shadow's name.

 

Feeling his hand and stomach coated in warm cum is what sends Shadow over the edge. He comes with a silent scream, hot cum mixing with Sonic's. He pumps their dicks with his hands, milking them for all they are worth.

 

It takes Shadow a moment to realize that the space above his collarbone is stinging. A few moments longer to realize why. Sonic is licking him, mummering apologies against the bite wound. 

 

"Don't apologize," Shadow says, still spaced out from his climax. "You know what I like." He brings the hand that isn't covered in cum up to Sonic's face, tilting his chin up. "You're so good to me." He licks at his angel's lips, begging for more.

 

Peach hands are roaming all over, massaging Shadow's back, ass, legs. The hybrid basks in the warmth, holding back a whine when Sonic pulls back. With no warning, Sonic stands and tosses him down, Shadow's back to the mattress. Before he has time to register what just happened, Shadow feels Sonic's tongue to his belly.

 

Sonic grooms Shadow, ridding shiny black fur of cum with his tongue. It's so filthy , so fucking hot that it has Shadow's cock twitching back to life. Once silky black fur is clean, Sonic grabs Shadow's soiled hand and grooms that as well. He crawls over Shadow once he's finished, kissing the hybrid hungrily.

 

It isn't long before Shadow lets Sonic in once more, groaning at the taste of himself, of Sonic. He grabs hold of the hedgehog, wrapping his legs around a slim, blue waist. His arms wrap around Sonic's neck, holding him close. He moves his hips slowly, thrilled when he feels Sonic hard against him. Sonic gasps and buries his muzzle in the crook of Shadow's neck once more.

 

"How do you want me?" Shadow asks, lips brushing against Sonic's ear. He doesn't expect to be flipped, for Sonic to be the one on his back. Shadow adjusts and looks down, curious. Nervousness bleeds out from Sonic's form. 

 

The hedgehog under him is flushed, timid. "I… I want you to take me." Sonic bites his lip, then looks down. "Is that ok?"

 

Shadow's tail wags. He was expecting for things to go differently, truthfully. He was rather eager to feel the stretch of Sonic inside him. But he is certainly not opposed to this. Not one bit. He doesn't answer Sonic, just presses kisses to his cheeks, trailing down to his neck. 

 

Shadow gives Sonic the same treatment he received earlier, nipping and sucking at his neck. The hedgehog's body sings beneath him. Sonic tremors and squirms, back arching when Shadow bites down. 

 

Shadow trails down, coming to Sonic's chest and mouth latching onto a sensitive nub under peach fur. His tongue teases it, making Sonic cry out. After sucking and teasing it with his teeth, Shadow decides to give the other nipple similar attention. Sonic feebly pushes him away, his cock weeping between them. 

 

"Please, Shadow! Stop teasing," Sonic whines. Shadow pulls away with one last lick and smirks. Sonic should know that this is pretty tame as far as teasing goes, but Shadow will give him what he wants. Shadow sits up on his knees, admiring the athletic body beneath him when he does so. His hands roam down Sonic's chest, his stomach, his legs. Sonic shamelessly spreads his legs, and Shadow squeezes his thighs in approval. He glances at his hands and frowns. 

 

"Give me a moment, will you?" Sonic looks confused but nods. Shadow gets up and runs to the bathroom. He clips the claws of his index and middle finger on his left hand, filing them so they're blunt. He runs back to the room and sees Sonic waiting for him, stroking his dick.

 

Shadow smiles and watches Sonic for a few seconds before making his way over. He grabs a bottle of lube from the night stand, then finds his spot between Sonic's legs on the bed. Sonic releases himself and his hands come up, splayed by his head. Shadow loves how surprisingly submissive Sonic is. He coats his trimmed fingers with lube, and brings them down to Sonic's hole.

 

Sonic tenses, and Shadow stops. "Is everything alright?" He asks.

 

Sonic nods. "Sorry, it's just… this is the first time that I've…"

 

Shadow blinks in surprise. That is... unexpected. "Do you still want to do this?" He doesn't want to push Sonic into doing something he isn't ready for.

 

Sonic nods rapidly. "I want this. It's just new, ya know? I want to try, just… go easy on me." He smiles shyly.

 

Shadow will, especially if they've never had sex this way before. It'll be new for both of them. How thoughtful of Sonic, to choose to do something like that. For him to be so caring, so understanding. 

 

"You really are an angel," Shadow says on a sigh. "So good to me." 

 

Sonic blushes, ears folding. "Call me that again," he gently commands. Shadow chuckles.

 

"You like that, do you?" Sonic nods, and Shadow smirks. "I'm more than happy to indulge you, angel."

 

Sonic's eyes go half lidded. He looks pleased, and Shadow wants more of the look. Once again he brings his fingers to Sonic's hole. "Ready?"

 

Sonic closes his eyes and takes a deep breath before noting his head. With permission given, Shadow presses a finger inside. He gulps. Sonic is so hot, so soft, so tight. In minutes his cock will be in Sonic's tight ass, and it makes Shadow dizzy. 

 

Shadow wiggles his finger in, working to loosen Sonic. He curls it once it's fully sheathed, causing the hedgehog's body to jolt. Sonic's hands have come to cover his face, his gasps and whimpers muffled. "Let me see you," Shadow softly urges. It isn't until Shadow adds a second finger that Sonic lowers them.

 

Shadow watches Sonic's face with fascination. The look in the hedgehog's eyes when he presses deep is unbelievably sexy. The moan that slips out of his mouth when Shadow scissors his fingers drives the hybrid crazy. The way that Sonic's eyes roll back when he curls his fingers into that bundle of nerves is enough to make Shadow lose control.

 

Shadow removes his fingers quickly, and Sonic whines. He grabs the long forgotten bottle of lube and pours its contents out, directly on his length. He pumps it, coating it from base to tip. Sonic has propped himself up on his elbows, watching Shadow with interest.

 

"I'm ready." Sonic answers the question before Shadow can ask it. "I want this, I want you. Now come here." He's smiling, laying back down and spreading his legs wider. God he's flexible. Shadow will have to take advantage of that sometime. 

 

Shadow adjusts, bringing the head of his cock to Sonic's stretched hole. He rubs it against the tight ring of muscle, rocking his hips. Sonic seems frustrated with his teasing, huffing and reaching down to spread himself open. So Shadow supposes they've done enough waiting.

 

He pushes the head inside, groaning at the tight heat he's met with. It takes everything he has to not buck forward and fuck Sonic with wild abandon. He forces himself to press in slowly, though it's hard with how much Sonic is moving, how he's moaning.

 

At some point the hybrid just stops, stills and lets Sonic impale himself on Shadow's cock. Sonic works it in quickly, hips moving fast. When he makes a frustrated growl, because he can't get in the last bit, Shadow rams his dick into Sonic's body. His angel screams, back arching and tears pricking the corners of his eyes. 

 

Shadow couldn't help himself. He gives Sonic all but a few seconds before he's moving again, putting his hands on either side of Sonic's head and rutting into the hedgehog. Sonic whines his name and meets each thrust, movements fevrid. Peach hands come to Shadow's ass cheeks and grab, fondling as they guide the hybrid back in. 

 

Shadow meant to take things slow, he really did. But Sonic really knows how to get him going. 

 

He begins to fuck Sonic hard, fast, mercilessly. He can see that Sonic is trying to keep up, trying to pleasure him. It turns Shadow on even further, something he didn't think was possible. He grunts and growls as his cock splits Sonic in two. The hedgehog chants his name, pitch increasing when Shadow changes the angle. 

 

Sonic's hands go from Shadow's ass to his back, expertly avoiding the sharp quills. His blunt claws scratch, leaving marks and even breaking skin. The sting drives Shadow's movements, and soon the bed is shaking with how hard he's pounding into the hedgehog below him.

 

Sonic is screaming, tears spilling. Shadow licks them away, before then licking at Sonic's lips. Their kiss is sloppy, wet and uncontrolled. Sonic pants against Shadow's mouth, unable to stop making noise even for a second. Shadow doesn't mind it at all. If anything it makes him proud, knowing that he's making Sonic feel good to that extent.

 

And then suddenly Sonic's eyes are widening, body tensing. His claws dig in especially deep, and his back arches off the bed. One of his hands shoots between them, grabbing his length and stroking it in time with Shadow's thrusts. Shadow purrs, deep and appreciative. He brings his lips to Sonic's ear, finding himself in a similar position to the one they were in at the barn days before. 

 

Shadow smiles. He licks the appendage,  making it flick before he whispers, "Come for me, angel."

 

And he does. Sonic's voice cracks as he screams Shadow's name. His cum paints their stomachs, hot and slick. His velvety walls quiver and spasm around the big cock inside him, the rest of his body going loose. Shadow groans at the feel of it all.

 

He pistons his hips in and out, frantic and desperate. He moans as he fucks Sonic through it, as he chases his own high. His angel sobs beneath him, encouraging him to finish. "Make me yours, Shadow. Please . I need it." 

 

How could Shadow refuse?

 

He feels the tension building in his belly, he's so close. Sonic's lips are on his neck, and then his teeth. They bite down, hard . Much harder than before. It stings and feels wet and then Sonic's tongue is tending to the wound and it's too much.

 

Shadow comes with a shout of Sonic's name. He continues to fuck into his love's body as he does, his cum making everything slicker, wetter. Sonic is crying out, moaning his approval loudly. Shadow rides out his orgasm, mind blissful. When they are both overstimulated and shaking, Shadow pulls out and flops down to Sonic's side.

 

Sonic turns on his side and wraps his limbs around Shadow with a sigh. He's still breathing hard, his heart rate coming down. He strokes Shadow's head, purring. Shadow likes the sound of it, deeper than expected and rich. He nuzzles his face into Sonic's chest, enjoying the feel of short, silky soft fur.

 

"That was incredible," Sonic mummers. He pulls Shadow closer. "Gods, I missed you." Shadow answers with his own purr, holding Sonic tight. "Guess we should probably get cleaned up, huh? I'm making a mess," Sonic says. He moves to pull away, but Shadow stops him.

 

"The sheets will be fine. Besides," his voice deepens, suggestive, "I don't think either of us are done."

 

Sonic's breath hitches. "Give me a minute to recover and then I'm all yours," Sonic says with a whimper. 

 

Shadow rolls them over, so Sonic is on his back once more. He decides to kiss every dip, every curve, every exposed bit of flesh. He'll recommit it all to memory, replacing what was lost. Sonic pants and writhes beneath him, his cries filling their bedroom. For the first time in days, Shadow finds that having his memories lost isn't so bad.

 

It's not always that you get a second chance at the first time.
