An examination. [@steadfastheartofgold]

[scarletdarkchaos]

Shadow waited quietly on his couch in his sparse abode, the only light flooding in was coming from a single, dull lamp beside him, and the moonlight flooding in through the nearby window. He had called Sonic to him this night for an..."examination". Yes, that's how he'd put it. An examination, yes, that is what it will be, and more than that, yes. I need him here, I need him. His eyes were a little wild, nearly glowing in the dim light.

He would wait.

He would wait for his prey.

Aaaand there wandered in the blue hedgehog, practically kicking down the door as he walked one foot in front of the other, step by step. His left ear was lowered and his eyes twitched as he took in the scenery -- dark and intimidating and perhaps just the littlest bit eerie.

Didn't seem too different from his escapades with ol' Eggy.

Except this wasn't Eggy. It was Shadow, wasn't it? And he'd called him in for something really strange. An 'examination'? Something like that. It was as if he was his doctor or something.

Sonic bunched his muscles up tensely as he walked in. Admittedly, his night vision wasn't all that fantastic, because he had to mutter, "Shadow...?" Oh, boy.

[scarletdarkchaos]

His ears flicked up as he heard the other's hedgehog's voice. What a lovely sound to his ears. "Shut the door," he said. That will be necessary. Absolutely necessary for the examination I want to give you.

(I want to see you bleed...)

...

He sighed to himself, and gestured to Sonic. "Come closer. It will be necessary for this procedure." He gestured beside him, his red eyes fixed on the life in front of him. So lithe, fit...and yet fragile. Very fragile. Fur, skin, bone, muscle. Blood.

Blood.

It was difficult to keep his expression blank, to keep his thoughts to himself.

[steadfastheartofgold]

And Sonic obeyed, no matter how wary he was now of the hedgehog standing in front of him. He reached back and grabbed at the doorknob, closing gently, before he walked up to his black counterpart, taking a seat next to him.

This was all too... dreary, too haunting. Dark, dark, and Sonic couldn't see much of anything in there, except of course for the ever-present ultimate life form's eyes, glowing a tone he didn't understand. His expression twitched, but it wasn't enough for the blue hedgehog to discern precisely what he was thinking, the reason for his calling to this place.

He couldn't suppress a shiver as the atmosphere around them made his skin crawl.

[scarletdarkchaos]

Good. He couldn't help licking his lips. His prize was right here, right in front of him. The hedgehog who drew him in, who could express so much in front of him, as well as the other way around...right here. Within my grasp. Oh, Sonic. I have waited for this...

"I have called you here for an examination," he said, looking him over. "You have Chaos energy within you and I wish to...test it. Further." It was a way of putting his intentions, and he shifted a little closer. "All I need you to do is stay still." His voice was a low purr, somewhat...reassuring. It was difficult for the black hedgehog to resist the desires within him, fighting it like an angry bull inside of him. Just a taste, just a taste.

Shadow slowly took his gloves off, setting them on the table beside him, and ran a finger down his chest. He embraced the feeling of fur, warmth, and skin underneath his forefinger, applying a light pressure. He suppressed a shiver, and his deep eyes watched his own movement. Start off slow. Yes, slow.

[steadfastheartofgold]

Sonic couldn't exactly stay quiet any longer.

"What sorta examination?" Seriously, what the heck? "An examin--"

And then he gasped and cringed as Shadow's finger started to trail down his body, calm and measured. The tone that Shadow had used prior to the touch allowed him to sink into relaxation, but his nerves were trying to tell him that this was wrong, that this situation was wrong, and he should flee because it's all wrong wrong wrong.

He wasn't really making any step in achieving that goal.

Hey, he could wait a bit and see what Shadow wanted to do. Things were okay between them. He drew his lips back a little bit in displeasure, but he didn't let it get to him. It was okay. He wasn't doing anything terrible. And 'examination' tended to mean of the body, anyway, when it pertained to a living being. He could let him explore a little bit.

A little bit.

[scarletdarkchaos]

Shadow felt the other gasp against his fingertip, and his lip quirked again, forced to quell it at his wince. "Shh," he hushed, trailing the finger back up with a little more pressure. The black hedgehog brought himself a little closer to Sonic, embracing the sensation of his fur, his breathing, his scent...it's so irresistible.

Especially that spot on his neck...

No, not yet. Not yet, later. You need to break him in. Just like the rest of them, you need to break them in. Ah, but he is so precious....

He slowly wrapped an arm around his shoulder, so his hand was around his around his back, embracing the sensation of the muscles there, his back spines. "You are quite strong," he murmured, stroking his back gently, leaving the finger on his chest be for the time being. Not strong enough, though. Not as strong as myself.

He let a moment pass, then without warning, pulled his claws down the other's back and chest simultaneously. There was definite pressure, definite sharpness in the rake, but, as he thought, it is not my full power. This is only a fraction. Just to break him in.

[steadfastheartofgold]

At first, Sonic didn't really mind. After all, it was just stroking, wasn't it? It wasn't that big a deal that he was drawing his finger over him; it was more so the anticipation of what might come out of it that was making him a little fidgety. He wasn't sure what exactly Shadow wanted to do with him, and that naturally made him a little nervous.

That changed when the touch itself did. He felt nails digging into him, merciless in their stabbing, and his nerves fired off, all simultaneously, and triggered his fight-or-flight response. Pain flooded through his veins and his heart began to pound as he realized belatedly that he was completely at the black and red hedgehog's mercy, and this wasn't a simply innocent meeting; there were connotations, dark connotations behind it that he couldn't stand.

He breathed out, biting onto his lip to prevent from inhaling loudly yet again. There was something horrifically wrong here, and something told the blue hedgehog that he didn't want to give an inch to his 'friend' clawing him at the moment. No, he had to fight back, because this was dangerous, this was dangerous contact! What the heck was Shadow even doing!?

His fingers wrapped around Shadow's shoulders as he pushed him, breath hitching as those claws traversed his form and latched and dug, and he hoped, hoped he wasn't bleeding, since that would be BAD. He gritted his teeth, glaring steely at the hedgehog in front of him who seemed to have lost his mind. In fact, that was exactly what Sonic questioned of him: "Have you lost your mind!? I know you're the ultimate life form and all, but I'm sure you know that hurts!" And he twisted and twisted and he had to get out of this situation as soon as was possible.

If this was a nightmare, Sonic sure willed himself to wake up.

[scarletdarkchaos]

"Nnmn." He couldn't help but utter a small noise at Sonic's sharp breathing, and the pounding of the other's heart. Life, life, yes. Right under here, under my thumb. No, you can't squirm away, no no no no. You're staying here. You're mine. Here.

His lip turned upward. "Yes, I know it hurts. Do you know how many countless victims I've had before my hands? I know what hurts." He forced himself closer again, nearly pinning the blue hedgehog against the couch, his grip even tighter than before. "But I will make it just perfect...for you," he murmurs, licking the side of his ear and digging into him harder, claws on his chest and back, and he bites on his ear, stifling a moan. No, you can't be too loud. No, you need to hear him, all of him, his breathing, his heartbeat, his screaming...that will come soon. Yes, that will come very soon.

[steadfastheartofgold]

That noise.

Sonic knew precisely what that noise meant.

He's turned on by this. He's seriously GETTING OFF TO ME IN PAIN--

And suddenly, the blue hedgehog's efforts to free himself amped themselves up tenfold. Eyes wide as dinner plates, breathing harsher and more ragged, he twisted within Shadow's grip, even though it was further proving to be futile and just allowed the black and red hedgehog's claws to rip in him harder. And that lick, geez that was gross! No, he needed his personal space now. He needed him to get away, to stop that agony--!

"Get," he gasped, his hands grappling to shove the maniac hedgehog away from him, "get away from me... I-I'm not one of your friggin' torture victims!" And he honestly didn't want to be. He wanted to high tail it. He wanted to completely leave Shadow behind.

If this was what he was going to get for being his friend, for all those walls coming down, for all that trust, well, it sure as heck wasn't worth it.

[scarletdarkchaos]

Get away from me...
Get away from me...
Get away from me...
...NO...!!!

He gripped Sonic tighter and wrapped his arms so that they were both pinned behind his back, that full maniac glow in his eyes. It was seething, it was needing, it was something and everything, nearly indescribable. His breathing was getting more ragged, ears twitching in tune to Sonic's own gasps for air. He liked that, but what he didn't like was all that squirming. "Stay still, damn it!" he growled, pressing his entire body against him. There was a distressed tone in his voice. "You're not...ngh, you're not getting away, no no no..." No, no Sonic, not my Sonic my precious Sonic sonic sonic sonic sonic...

His eye caught that section of fur and flesh on his neck. It's time, it's time. He lunged for it, kissing and biting there, almost desperate to draw blood. When he tasted it on his tongue, he lapped it up, kissing and licking rather gently, in comparison to his free hand still clawing on his back. He was starting to draw blood there as well--he could feel it on his hands. Sonic's blood, his life, my hands...all my control. Mine. Sonic sonic...

The black hedgehog began to mumble against his neck. "Nngh, Sonic...precious, delicate life...mine..."
