Chapter Fifteen: Three Ways

Shadow was now rifling through the cupboards, trying to find something to cook that was easy. He must have heard Knuckles come in, but he didn't turn to greet him.

"Why did you do it?" Knuckles asked, speaking up. He was standing in the doorway, staring intensely at the black and red hedgehog.

"I don't know," Shadow said truthfully, "I was angry at the time. At everybody. And there was this voice in my head that kept saying to hurt as many people as possible... I don't know why."

Knuckles shivered in anger, and he considered snapping back with something angry and hateful. The echidna held back, though, realising what a hypocrite he would be by doing so, "Yeah, I don't do the smartest things when I'm angry, either,” he grudgingly admitted.

"Would you feel better if you knew there was a reason?" Shadow asked him.

"Maybe," Knuckles admitted.

"I know I would," Shadow said quietly.

Knuckles relaxed just slightly, "But at least now I know it wasn't personal."

"Yeah, whatever it was, it wasn't that," Shadow replied, "I swear, it was like I was crazy. I'm sorry I hurt Tikal too," he added quietly.

Knuckles released a shuddering sigh, saying, "I'm sure she forgives you." He knew just how pacifistic and forgiving Tikal could be, remembering how she tried to convince him to not take revenge. He probably should have listened to her.

"Yeah, I figured she would," Shadow said, "I didn't really rape her, you know. I think I would have been a lot worse off without her advice."

"It still wasn't very nice of you,” Knuckles growled, but then nodded his head in understanding, "I've done some... stupid things before,” he admitted, "And I... I can trust Sonic, so I'll let you off this time. But don't think I won't be watching you!" The echidna glanced away to the side, crossing his arms over his chest.

"I appreciate it," Shadow grunted, "Sonic seems to think that everything's just going to be dandy now that he's broken me out of a mental institution. He trusts too much."

That, at least, they could agree on, "It's going to get him in trouble someday,” the guardian spoke, glancing over at the hedgehog, "So what are you going to do, now that you are out?"

Shadow shrugged, "Run?" he suggested, "You're not the only person who's hunting me right now. I've been thinking of heading back up there," he gestured with his hand to the sky.

"The ARK?" Knuckles asked, looking at the ceiling. Shadow’s birthplace and the closest thing he had to a home, the ARK could sustain itself almost indefinitely, especially with a chaos emerald to power it. It was remote, huge, and a floating monument to all who died aboard it. "I guess we both have our island,” Knuckles pointed out.

"Maybe everybody does," Shadow agreed, "At least if I'm up there I'll be doing the world some good. Eggman's not the only power-hungry maniac on this planet."

"The secrets of the ARK should never be allowed into their hands. Like the Master Emerald,” Knuckles agreed, drawing another parallel between them, "I've got to warn you, though. It's going to get very lonely up there."

Shadow shrugged, "Tell me something I don't know," he replied, "Besides, it's what I deserve," he muttered, looking at his feet.

Rather than agree, Knuckles surprised Shadow by saying, "No one deserves that. I'd go crazy if I was always alone. I mean, yeah, I'm alone most of the time, but I've got Tikal to talk to, and Sonic is bound to bother me with some new adventure."

A smile twitched at Shadow's lips, "Wow, even you think I shouldn't be alone?" he asked, "Maybe Sonic's right when he says that."

"What?! But I mean... uh... well...” Knuckles struggled with words, staggering back slightly and flustered, "I just... I know what it's like, ok?" The echidna faced away, his face hard and angry, but with a blush on his cheeks matching his fur.

It was something Shadow missed, "Sure, whatever," he conceded, "And like I said, I'm sorry I was such a bastard."

"...Apology accepted,” Knuckles told him, stepping back into the room, the blush on his cheeks not entirely gone, "And I... uh... I'm sorry for shooting you."

"Hey, it's not like you killed me," Shadow replied, "Not permanently, anyway. I don't remember a lot of what happened then."

"Mostly just Sonic getting pissed at me,” Knuckles told him regretfully, "Now, it'll be a miracle if even he can even look at me anymore," The echidna sighed heavily, feeling like a fool.

"Since when did you give a damn about what Sonic thinks?" Shadow asked him, sounding genuinely surprised.

Knuckles looked around nervously, worrying that Shadow had figured him out. "I... uh... I just do! I respect him!" he said quickly, refusing to meet the dark hedgehog's gaze.

Shadow laughed at this attempt, "Oh, come on!" he said, "The only thing you respect about Sonic is his abilities. You don't respect him. You can barely stand him!"

"That's not true!" Knuckles snapped back before his brain could catch up with his mouth, "I mean..." The echidna growled in frustration, looking down at the floor to hide his embarrassment, clinching his fists.

Shadow looked more serious now, "Oh, don't tell me... oh man, please don't... not you too?" he asked finally, sounding pretty desperate.

"Dammit!" Knuckles cried out, stomping the floor once. Glaring at Shadow and throwing up his hands, he confessed, "Yeah, I have a thing for him, too!"

"Good gods!" Shadow banged his head against the wall a few times, leaving a dent, "Is there any member of the heroes of Earth who isn't a total faggot?" he asked out loud.

"Hey! I'm not a... well, I guess I... don't use that word!" Knuckles stuttered angrily, pointing a glove at the dark hedgehog, "What are you complaining about, anyway? You've been screwing with him too! You beat me to him!"

"Yeah, and it tears me up inside!" Shadow replied, "50 years ago the world's attitude to males who liked males was very different! In other words, we didn't exist, at least, not if we knew what was good for us!"

"Since when do you care about popular opinion?" Knuckles snapped back, "I thought you were the Ultimate Lifeform."

"It's kinda complicated," Shadow grumbled, "Look, when I was made... well, I wasn't gay. And I fell in love with Maria. Really in love, you know? Gerald wasn't standing for that so he tried to make me gay. It didn't entirely work so now I'm bi and sick of myself," he finished.

"...Does this mean you don't want him?" the confused guardian asked, "If so, that's fine by me."

"No, it just means I'm messed up inside and I don't know what I do want," Shadow growled, "I didn't have sex with him for the sheer hell of it, you know. Or maybe I did. I'm not sure..."

Knuckles scratched the top of his head, his violet eyes glancing intently at Shadow, trying to understand his point of view. In many ways, they were very similar, but there were apparently some important differences, too. Finally, curiosity got the best of him, and the guardian spoke up, "...What was it like with him?"

To Knuckles' surprise, Shadow blushed, "Well... you know... pretty good," he said.

"Pretty good?" Knuckles asked.

"Very good," Shadow admitted, "A lot better than raping people. And a lot better than the nightmares where I was getting raped back..."

Knuckles winced in sympathy, having had a number of those dreams, himself, "Maybe you should just enjoy what you have, then,” he suggested, "I sure know I would."

"Hmmm, I know," Shadow flushed, "I guess I ruined it for you and Sonic," he muttered.

"My fault,” Knuckles said quickly and softly, looking away.

"It is?" Shadow asked him, looking at the red echidna.

"Well maybe if I hadn't shot you..." Knuckles explained in exasperation, "Oh, who am I kidding? I wouldn't have gotten him anyway. No one would want some crazy guy like me."

"Hey, you're a decent guy," Shadow pointed out, "Apart from shooting me. I went on a murdering and killing spree. You're probably the least annoying person I know."

Now Knuckles appeared even more surprised than before. "Are you kidding me?" the echidna uttered, "I drive everyone crazy! Sonic, Tails, Amy... everyone!"

"At least you don't do it by destroying their lives," Shadow muttered, "Come on, I made a 12 year old girl pregnant and I raped an 8 year old boy and a 6 year old girl, and I still haven't worked out why!"

"Yeah, but... you actually don't mind me?" Knuckles asked, head tilted to the side. Grunting softly, the echidna stepped closer to Shadow, leaning against the counter, "Maybe Sonic has a point,” he added, "Maybe we all just need to forgive and forget. It's better that way."

"It'll be a happy, happy day when I can forget what I've done," Shadow replied, "It'll be an even happier day when I can forgive myself."

"I could beat the memory out of you,” Knuckles suggested with a wicked grin, raising a fist, "It seems easy to do with you."

Shadow looked up at him, "It's gotta be worth a try," he said, surprising the echidna somewhat.

"That was a... joke,” Knuckles spoke uncertainly, lowering the fist. He knew his attempts at humour were usually disastrous, as were Shadow’s attempts at understanding it.

"Oh," Shadow looked disappointed, "I had hoped you were serious..."

"Oh," Knuckles blinked. He blinked again. He shrugged. Then the echidna drew back and punched Shadow hard across the face, sending the hedgehog down on his back. Standing over him, Knuckles asked, "Who am I?"

"What?" Shadow started to sit up, rubbing his bloodied nose, "I thought you were-"

The echidna chuckled, crossing his arms over his chest, and glancing mischievously down, "Well, you did want to try it,” he answered, "How's your head feeling now?"

"Ow," Shadow replied, "You sure do pack a punch, Knuckles. Feeling any better?"

"Much better,” Knuckles replied with a grin, popping his namesakes, "Whenever I start pitying myself, I just break something. You should try it."

"I did, that's how I wound up in this position," Shadow replied, standing.

Knuckles had to admit that his temper tantrums never went as far as trying to destroy the world before... "Err... I meant breaking a rock or something,” he told Shadow, tilting his head slightly to the side.

"That's what I tried. You just don't think big enough," Shadow pointed out. He dusted himself off.

"Well... are you calling me stupid?" he asked suspiciously. The echidna had good reason to; his friends typically poked at his intelligence frequently. The worst part was that he often didn't catch it.

"Of course I'm not calling you stupid, you idiot," Shadow said simply, "A rock. A big rock. The Earth is just a big rock."

Knuckles thankfully had the wisdom to not ask 'it is?', "You called me it again!" he growled instead, getting in Shadow's face.

"Sorry, force of habit," Shadow said, "Anyway, the point is, temper tantrums are all very well for you. You don't get this urge to really crack open a person's skull and push their brains out their nose." He punched one fist into his hand for emphasis.

"I sure did with you!" Knuckles retorted, glaring into the other's eyes, not even sure himself why he felt the desire to escalate the conflict again.

"Yeah, and I appreciate it," Shadow growled, "I thought letting you punch me made you feel better!"

"It did!" was Knuckles immediate, defiant reply. Then he rethought the statement, "Um... sorta?"

"Obviously," Shadow said nastily, "That's why you're snapping at me like a small child right now! I give up!"

It wasn't Knuckles' intention to drive Shadow away. He just had a nasty tendency to let his anger get the best of him. Swiftly, he gripped the dark hedgehog's shoulders, partially to keep him from leaving, and partially the shake the hell out of him, "Do you have any idea how damn lonely it gets on that stupid floating rock?!" he growled in a rush.

"Probably about as lonely as it was up on that hunk of metal!" Shadow snapped back at him, "You're not the only lonely person on Earth! You may be the last one of your kind, but at least there were some of you! At least there was a time when more of you existed! I am the only one of my kind ever, and I always will be!"

That thought stilled Knuckles. He was the last of his kind, and Shadow was the first of his own. They both had grown up lonely on their own island and they both had things they had to protect. The thought that he actually had found someone that could genuinely sympathise with him was both exciting and scary. He was at a loss at how to express these feelings to the dark hedgehog.

Shadow turned away from Knuckles, "I am so sick of... of all of this," he said, "Of being alone and of just... feeling bad about things."

"...Maybe we can just do this together,” the echidna suggested, standing behind Shadow, "It seems we're both in the same situation."

"We are?" Shadow turned to look at him again, "Perhaps you'd like to explain, because you're not the one being hunted."

"That's only because you killed Rouge,” Knuckles pointed out, "Just give me time. I've heard that Nack the Weasel has been asking about the emerald recently." The echidna sighed and shook his head. "We're both outcasts, and we're both alone."

"True," Shadow admitted, "But together... we can be lonely together."

Knuckles quietly stepped forward and placed a hand on Shadow's shoulder, giving it a squeeze.

Shadow looked at Knuckles, "So... you're gay," he said. Almost as a test, he leant forward and pressed his lips to Knuckles' gently.

Knuckles' violet eyes widened at the touch, and the echidna froze in place, unsure of what to make of this development. He didn't fully accept the kiss...but he didn't push Shadow away, either. Blinking, regaining his senses, the echidna's hand resting on Shadow's shoulder quivered slightly as he pulled the hedgehog closer, tentatively pressing their lips together again.

Shadow felt Knuckles move, and reacted. He wasn't sure what he'd expected. He just knew that he liked what he felt. He trailed a hand though the echidna's dreads carefully, "It was just a test," he said softly, "Unless you want it to be something more."

"I liked it,” Knuckles whispered back, reaching up to run a hand through Shadow's quills. It occurred to him how crazy it was to be attracted to the man that not only had raped and humiliated him, but had stolen away the object of his fantasies. Knuckles wasn't known for being rational. He leaned in, kissing Shadow again in response, more confidently than before.

A slow purr welled up in Shadow's chest and he smirked slightly into the kiss, because it felt so good... He slid his rough tongue into Knuckles' mouth, almost testing again, and then deepened the kiss.

Knuckles wrapped his strong arms around Shadow, pulling him closer, accepting the kiss fully. For the time being, all memory of Sonic or that horrible day on Angel Island were pushed aside, and the guardian just enjoyed the blissful moment when he wasn't alone.

Shadow moaned softly, rubbing his tongue against knuckles, leaning forward and wrapping his fingers in the echidna's dreads.

Humming into Shadow's mouth, Knuckles pushed forward, pinning the dark hedgehog against the counter, running his tongue along that of his partner. His hands roamed down the hedgehog's back, rubbing and squeezing, careful to avoid the quills.

Shadow's hand moved down Knuckles; back, stroking his butt, then broke the kiss, "Are you sure you want to do this?" he murmured, and Knuckles could feel his erection starting to press against his belly.

"Oh yes,” Knuckles breathed, looking down lustfully at the hedgehog. Behind Shadow's back, the echidna removed his bulky gloves and let his freed hands roam down Shadow's chest, his fingers curling around the hardening erection.

"Okay." Shadow pushed Knuckles backwards gently onto the couch, and started to climb on top of him.

Knuckles was surprised by Shadow's sudden action, staring up at the hedgehog in a mix of lust and nervousness. He hadn't expected Shadow to take charge like that, but he had no complaints this time. He grinned.

Shadow was actually being much more careful this time. He didn't want to hurt Knuckles - well, not unless the echidna wanted him to. Sitting on top of him, Shadow kissed him again, this time holding it and making it as deep as possible, his arms trailing over the crescent on Knuckles' chest.

Knuckles closed his eyes and returned the deep kiss, his ungloved hands tugging at Shadow's tuft of chest fur, one sliding down to rub his belly.

Shadow moaned softly into the kiss, loving the attention to his fur. His own hands moved lower and he pulled off his gloves, letting them touch Knuckles' shaft slowly.

It twitched and hardened further at his touch, the feel heightening Knuckles' arousal. The echidna's had slid down further, taking Shadow's shaft in his hand and pumping his fist along it slowly as he nibbled on the hedgehog's lower lip.

Shadow's other arm wrapped around Knuckles waist, pulling him closer. Somewhere in the back of his mind, he knew he shouldn't be doing this, that it was Sonic he wanted to be with, but all the same, here he was, lying on top of Knuckles again.

Knuckles looked up into his eyes hungrily as his hand moved rapidly over Shadow's erection. He looped his legs over the hedgehog's waist, drawing him closer as the guardian kissed and lightly bit down on Shadow's throat.

Shadow licked his neck, moaning again as his cock rubbed against Knuckles'. He licked his fingers and used them to start to moisten Knuckles' tailhole, making no secret of his intentions.

Knuckles paused at the unusual feeling, spreading his legs to lessen the discomfort. He had made no protest, however, trusting Shadow to know what he was doing.

Spit didn't make for much of a lubricant, but it was the only available thing at the moment. He wrapped Knuckles' lips in another kiss, his aim to stifle any noise resulting from his entry, and thrust his hips forward, more slowly than before, thrusting himself in to the hilt.

Knuckles' eyes widened further, the echidna's body tensing and shaking as he clutched Shadow harder, moaning into his mouth. It would be a lie for him to say that it didn't hurt, but pain was something he was used to.

Shadow continued to kiss him as he waited for a few seconds so that the echidna could adjust, then began to thrust back and forth inside him, slowly at first, then faster.

Knuckles gradually began to relax and move with Shadow's thrusts, the pain giving way to pleasure. His legs wrapped tighter around the hedgehog, and his cries of passion grew in volume.

Shadow felt a smile grow on his lips, even though they were still pressed to those of Knuckles. Giving pleasure brought even more pleasure than simply taking it. He had forgotten everything except for how good it felt to make others feel good.

Loneliness, duty, the past... these were also pushed away in both of their minds, and the only thing that mattered was what they were doing together. Knuckles' hands roamed and clutched at Shadow's body, tugging at him as he shoved his body into Shadow's thrusts, pulling him in deeper, intensifying the pleasure and passion.

Likewise, Shadow's grip on Knuckles tightened, his fingers pressing against hard muscle that shifted and tensed under fur and skin. His moans became louder, more vocal, his hands rubbing and squeezing the body beneath him.

Knuckles writhed underneath Shadow's touch, intent of drawing him closer, making their passion harder. It quickly became apparent that the echidna liked it rough, and he grinned wildly as Shadow slipped in and out of him.

"Like that?" Shadow asked him, his mouth moving against Knuckles', "You like that, huh?" he began to thrust harder, his nails digging into Knuckles' flesh.

Knuckles growled, not in anger, but in lust, challenging Shadow with his eyes to go even harder, seemingly welcoming the mix of pain and pleasure, gasping and moaning and silently begging for more.

Shadow gladly accepted the challenge, thrusting harder and faster, trying to limit himself so that he could do better. One hand gripped Knuckles shaft, firmly if not roughly, and moved up and down it, rubbing hard.

"Yes!" Knuckles cried out, throwing his head back and shouting at the intense feeling. Growling and grunting louder, he pressed against the couch to slam himself down on Shadow's cock, the pleasure building and rising to new heights.

Shadow cried out in turn, "You're... so tight..." he moaned, gazing down at Knuckles as he thrust in and out, "I... he moaned, "I want you to... to do me," he gasped.

A grin spread over Knuckles' face as he considered the idea, "Gladly,” he rasped, reaching up and pressing against Shadow's chest.

Shadow pulled out of Knuckles. The brief idea went through his head, the sort of idea that only the Voice could think up. Get Knuckles doing him and then scream rape. He battled the idea for a long moment, still looking down into Knuckles' violet eyes.

Knuckles wasted no time in sitting up and dragging Shadow down onto the couch, climbing on top of him. Staring down into the hedgehog's red eyes, he smiled and spread Shadow's legs, getting into position over him.

Shadow grinned back up at him. No. No, he wouldn't listen to the voice. It would be so easy to listen to it. It messed up his life - and that of his friends - before, he wasn't going to let it get away with it again.

Knuckles thrust forward, smoothly entering Shadow with a long, pleased groan. He slid further inside and came to a rest within the hedgehog, panting for breath for a brief moment before building a strong rhythm between him and his new lover, thrusting back and forth.

Shadow began to moan out loud, bending his knees and spreading his legs, "Am I... am I..?" he panted as he braced his feet against the couch.

"Oh yes,” Knuckles breathed, shivering as he continued to thrust in, panting and gripping Shadow tightly.

"Then... harder..." Shadow moaned, closing his eyes, wrapping his legs around Knuckles’ waist and pulling him down.

Knuckles was happy to oblige, pounding harder and harder into Shadow's tailhole, crying out in happiness and pleasure... and then paused as he realised that there was another pair of hands touching him. Freezing up and turning his head in a panic, his eyes came to rest on Sonic's smiling face.

"Didn't think I'd miss out on this, huh?" the blue hedgehog asked as he wrapped his arms around the echidna. Knuckles was too stunned to say anything. And then he felt the tip of Sonic's erection against his ass. Sliding in.

Shadow nearly swallowed his own tongue, "S-Sonic!" he gasped, "It's... it's exactly what it looks like... so..." What he wanted to say was 'Why aren't you pissed off?' but it was hard to say anything with Knuckles all the way inside of him.

Sonic just smiled and winked at Shadow as he pushed forward, entering Knuckles with one, hard thrust. The echidna gasped, mouth hanging open and eyes wide, filled and squeezed from both ends, sandwiched between Shadow and the object of his dirtiest fantasies. The echidna let out a long moan, but it was cut short as Sonic wrapped his mouth around his own, kissing him deeply.

Beneath him, Shadow moaned as Knuckles was pushed forward against him. If this wasn't making up for what he'd done, he didn't know what was.

Sonic quickly began to thrust in and out of Knuckles as he did the same to Shadow, all moaning in pleasure. Knuckles didn't know how the hell he got so lucky, but he'd take it. Sonic's mouth drew away from his, moving down to nibble at his shoulder and neck.

Shadow half-sat up, gripping Knuckles with one hand, and Sonic with the other. He began to lick Knuckles' chest as well.

Sonic's hand roamed down to rub Knuckles' belly, his other one stroking the echidna's short tail. Knuckles cried out loudly again, overwhelmed by the attention he was receiving from both males.

"G-guys... I'm... gonna..." Shadow moaned, a slow stream of saliva trickling from his mouth the result of heavy breathing. He'd been pretty close even before Sonic had come on the scene.

"Me too,” Knuckles gasped, quivering between both hedgehogs.

Grinning, and determined not to be left behind, Sonic uttered, "Not without me!" The blue hedgehog gripped Knuckles hard and painfully as he rapidly thrust into the echidna's tailhole, his moans mixing with the loud, wet slapping filling the air.

Shadow moaned again, determined not to be outdone, and tried to think unsexy thoughts... Eggman in a bikini... now that's nasty... and I feel so good it's not working, he thought. He let go of Knuckles and gripped Sonic with both hands, pulling him down.

Sonic struggled with Shadow, trying to stay up and inside Knuckles, his hips still moving fast. Knuckles' was panting harder, looking ready to come at any moment.

"Uh... AH!" Shadow cried out as he finally couldn't hold it any longer, and came all over Knuckles' chest, his entire body tensing up as he did so, his grip on Sonic tightening.

Knuckles groaned louder and then tensed, shouting towards the ceiling as Shadow's tightening hole drove him over the edge, shooting his load deep into the dark hedgehog. Sonic continued pumping in and out of the echidna as fast as he could, driving himself close, closer... and then past his breaking point, his cries joining the two males as he orgasmed.

Shadow let loose one final moan, then opened his eyes, "That was... different," he said, trying to regain his breath.

"That was something..." Knuckles panted in agreement.

Sonic, pulling out of Knuckles, gave a silly grin, "That was fun!"
