Read About It

Summary:

Shadow knows very little about the contents of the book he's reading. Sonic helps him out...

Work Text:

The moon rose overhead, the palm trees in the distance swaying gently in the quiet of the night. Stomachs satisfied and tucked comfortably in bed, Sonic straddled Shadow, wrapped comfortably in his arms. Sleep eluded him, and he was left with a buzzing energy and a bored mind.

 

He yawned, groaning, “I‘m bored…”

 

“Hmm?”

 

“Do you want to watch another movie?” Shadow shifted a little, though kept his arms around Sonic’s body.

 

“We’ve already watched a movie, I don’t have the energy for that!”

 

There was a moment of silence, though it wasn’t anything inherently negative. Sonic hummed, an idea brewing in his mind. There was a pastime he enjoyed… “Do you read?”

 

“Uh, sure… Do you have a book?”

 

Sonic sprung up to his feet, making a mess of the bed–neither seemed to mind, “yeah! I bought a book a few days ago, but haven’t had the time to read it–”

 

He rushed over to a drawer, retrieving the book from inside before hopping back onto the bed. Shadow caught him from behind, arms wrapped over his torso.

 

“Here it is~” the cobalt hedgehog took the book from Sonic’s hands, looking over the cover before reading the title. “Unseen Attraction… I didn’t think you were into romance–”

 

“Eh, well, the plot’s the main focus anyway” As Sonic spoke, Shadow cracked the book open, reading out the first chapter. The blue hedgehog listened in on the story as Shadow continued to narrate. Each inflection and subtle tone in his voice slowly lulled Sonic into a sense of calm, enough for him to close his eyes slightly and hone in on that voice.

 

Until a pause…

 

Sonic blinked into full consciousness, looking up at Shadow. “What’s wrong?”

 

The other hedgehog was red, leaving room for a moment of sheepish eye contact…

 

As if asking Sonic if he was sure he wanted his curiosity to be satiated.

 

The silence he was left with was ample room for Shadow to continue, “‘Are you sure you want this?’ Charlie questioned, and that question was met with Leo’s enthusiastic nod. The pair pressed their faces together, enveloped in a hungry kiss. Hands wandered over each other’s bodies as their clothing slowly began to unravel–”

 

“Hey, uh… We can skip that part…” Sonic was quick to interrupt.

 

“No, no, it’s fine–I’m curious,” Shadow spoke. He didn’t let his storytelling voice slack off, much to Sonic’s (reluctant) misfortune. “It fell onto the ground, and pressed hard against the mattress, Leo stared down intently, eyes heavy with lust at Charlie–”

 

Shadow dared to pause “I’m confused… what are they doing to each other?”

 

Sonic prepared himself for the chuckle Shadow would make at any pathetic attempt at a joke, though it never came… Instead, Shadow stared directly into Sonic’s eyes… and it hit him then that he was being deadly serious.

 

“Are you serious? There are so many details–”

 

“Yeah, but… I don’t get it–”

 

“They–” Sonic paused, trying to reconstruct his wording–he didn’t expect this night would end with him explaining porn to his partner, “geez, Shadow… they’re making love–”

 

A pause, before Shadow echoed, “making love…”

 

Sonic raised an eyebrow, sighing, “you’re telling me you don’t know any of this? What are you, a caveman?”

 

There was a pause. Silence… And once again, Sonic understood.

 

Shadow was a caveman.

 

The sardonicism of the situation diffused as Sonic laughed semi-nervously, “oh, right…”

 

A pause, with awkwardness so tense in the air it could suffocate both of them. Sonic dared to speak up, “j– just continue.”

 

“Right…” Shadow cleared his throat, turning back to the book.

 

“Leo’s gaze moved from Charlie’s red face, down to his body slick with sweat and desire. The latter opened his mouth to protest, only to find the words died on his tongue–he knew his attempts would do little to avert Leo’s lewd gaze… and if anything, his hungry eyes filled Charlie’s growing hard with blood–”

 

Fully honed in on Shadow’s voice and the contents of the book, Sonic felt his blood rush elsewhere. A slickness painted the inside of his thighs, pushing his mind into an erotic haze. Sonic couldn’t help but reach down and take care of the mess, hand pressed between his legs.

 

Shadow wasn’t paying attention to him, which worked to his advantage…

 

Sonic closed his eyes, breathing steadily as possible as he rubbed against his hardening clit. His breath hitched, though he managed to push down a relieved noise from escaping his throat.

 

“Hey, what are you doing?”

 

Well, shame went out the window fast–

 

“Just… keep reading…” Sonic urged. Despite his initial confusion, Shadow tore his gaze away from the blue hedgehog. There was a different tension in the air, much warmer than it was before… He continued reading, though took better care of his inflection and tone… it became sultry, divine…

 

“‘Shameless,’ Charlie managed, only to become silenced with a sloppy kiss. His passage was invaded by a pair of digits, his quivering cock exposed beneath Leo’s watchful eye. All of a sudden, Leo was overwhelmed with a hunger beyond any other, his free hand grasping the length and his other breaching his entrance–”

 

Sonic couldn’t help but let little pants of effort out, sending shots of warmth down to Shadow’s growing cock. Confusion laced his eyes and expression, though he continued to read. “Those fingers pressed inside, going in as far as the first joint and teasing the soft inner walls. A growing tingling sensation of pure pleasure bloomed in Charlie’s body, pushing a moan out of his mouth–”

 

Before Shadow could read the next word, his lips were enveloped in Sonic’s. Eyes wide but unopposed, Shadow leaned deeper in, feeling his parted lips pressed against a wet tongue. He let Sonic in, allowing him to pull Shadow into a sloppy kiss.

 

Slowly, he pressed a hand against Sonic’s chest and pulled away. “Sonic…?”

 

There was a need in his eyes; a desire that was left unfulfilled. Shadow blinked away his confusion in return for an attempt to meet that need.

 

“Hah… Ah– Stay still…”

 

“Huh?” It was then that Shadow saw the not-so-subtle rise and fall of the blankets. Many questions came to mind, but the most important one was what Sonic was doing…

 

“Shadow…” he let himself pant, soft sounds leaving his mouth. Sonic pulled himself back up to Shadow’s lips, back up to a sloppy kiss. Even if he didn’t know what was happening, the tension in the room commanded his movements, and he could only vehemently follow. In return, he was rewarded with a red face and something hard.

 

Before he knew it, Sonic’s breath hitched as he pressed deeper into the kiss. He shook and quivered, though eventually he slowed and stilled. Light flooded back into the blue hedgehog’s eyes, his release pulling him back to reality. Said reality was Shadow’s face, brimming with desire but clueless nonetheless. Cute… though the realisation of what happened wasn’t.

 

Sonic’s eyes widened as he pulled away, the words spilling out of his mouth a haphazard mess of apologies and excuses, “Sorry– I… I got too excited and I didn’t think and– I didn’t–”

 

Before Sonic could finish, his hand was taken by Shadow’s. It was pulled and pressed against his growing hard. Sonic’s eyes widened, and he had to tear his eyes away from the throbbing hard length. Slowly, their position shifted. Sonic was pushed onto his back, Shadow moved to hover over his supine figure.

 

Shadow’s eyes moved down to see the light, pink flesh… slick with wetness. Sonic, upon realising what this entailed, turned red.

 

If only it were possible to be harder, Shadow mused.

 

“Tell me what to do…” he spoke, pushing the book away. There was no judgement in his voice, only the same soft and soothing voice he used when telling that story. His eyes lidded as he looked down at his anatomy, Sonic sheepishly slid his hand down to gesture at his glistening pussy.

 

“Here…” he muttered shyly, “your fingers…”

 

Gently, Shadow guided his fingers down. With ample delicacy, he pushed his fingers in, drinking in the breathy quiver of Sonic’s sigh.

 

“There…” he took ahold of Shadow’s wrist, pushing the digits in and out of his pussy, “move like that…”

 

Gently and slowly, Shadow continued the motion. He watched Sonic’s face carefully for a reaction, most afraid of hurting him. He kept up that gentle pace, careful and measured… even then, he was growing impatient…

 

Sonic could only attempt to stifle spilling moans, “ah– Shadow…”

 

Something was brewing in Shadow’s stomach.

 

‘Why is he… so…’ Shadow could barely structure the thought, Sonic’s crescendoing pants driving more haze into his mind and heat towards his dick. He wanted to know what the feeling stirring inside him was, though his mental palace was shattered by his wrist being seized.

 

His hand froze there, and Shadow let out a breath he didn’t know he was holding. His eyes widened as Sonic widened the space between his legs, his fingers pulling the lips of his pussy open. Sonic managed a gleeful sigh, “Here… Put it in…”

 

There was no more blood between Shadow’s face and cock, and he managed to whisper a breathy affirmation. He took Sonic’s arms, pinning them against the mattress before feeling the head of his long abandoned cock press against the other’s pussy. A shaky breath left Sonic’s mouth, a moan pushed out when Shadow pushed his length in.

 

“Ha-hah…” Shadow paused when the sound hit his ears, hips stuttering in place as he tried to stifle his selfish pleasure.

 

“Sonic…”

 

“I just… need a moment…”

 

There was a weak smile on his face, though it didn’t seem strained or forced. Shadow could only move his hands from Sonic’s wrists, pulling him into an embrace as he waited.

 

It only took a minute until Sonic spoke up, “you can move now…”

 

Gradually, Shadow pushed in and out, mimicking the motion he had with his fingers prior.

 

“Ah… Ha-hah…” Shadow pushed a little deeper, jolts of pleasure running up Sonic’s mind at the intensity of that motion.

 

“Hah! Shadow!”

 

‘He’ll kill me with this size…’ Sonic thought, though didn’t say it aloud… Though, he wouldn’t mind if this was how he would die.

 

To Shadow, his questioning came at how being in Sonic felt divine, ethereal to a point of pleasure he couldn’t comprehend. His body nearly couldn’t contain the energy and ecstasy that clouded his hungry mind. Sonic made him happy, though this was a different kind of happiness…

 

He pushed down the urge to say those three words… it didn’t make sense, and he didn’t want to ruin the moment. He said something else, “y– you’re so tight…”

 

“Ah– Wait–”

 

“You’re wet…”

 

Sonic glowed in red, the air turning from tense and suffocating to hot and hazy. Lust written over their faces, Shadow’s pace picked up… Their eyes fluttered closed in concentration as pure pleasure fueled his movement.

 

“Oh– Shadow… don’t– mmrgh– stop…” That was met with pleasured grunts of his own, and unable to control his cock, Shadow’s pace intensified. Quiet attempts to stifle noises turned into loud moans and whimpers, Sonic’s lips were quickly taken by Shadow’s as they met in a locking sloppy kiss.

 

“Sha– Shadow…” His name being called only added to his hunger, and Shadow could only reciprocate in intensity. He pushed deeper and deeper, and a coil began to build in Shadow’s stomach.

 

“Shadow…” He bit against Sonic’s neck, nipping gently at the fur and skin and hearing the cries of pleasure only spurred him to keep going.

 

Deeper. Harder. Heavier. The coil built up and tightened.

 

A final push, where Shadow could feel Sonic spasm and tremble beneath him. He shook atop Sonic, the heat building in his cock spreading out. He kept himself hovering over Sonic until his energy depleted, collapsing his weight onto the other in a satisfied sigh.

 

They breathed heavily until the intensity of the situation faded.

 

Shadow found the energy to get onto his elbows, looking back at Sonic’s face. His eyes were still half-lidded and hazy, though the smile he wore suggested his wakefulness.

 

“Sonic… d– did we just…”

 

“Make love?” Sonic interrupted, “yeah, we did…”

 

There came a pause, panic invading Shadow’s mind as he pushed himself onto weak knees. “You all right?”

 

Sonic’s eyes widened, though they fell back to their usual height with a wider and gentler smile, “yeah…”

 

He pressed a gentle kiss on his lips, pushing himself up to a sitting position.

 

“Oh, right… we should clean this mess.”

 

“R– Right–”
