Building 14 Dorm X at Acorn Academy, Mobius City, Mystic Heights

   Tails had made a major mistake in dodging the Wolf Triplets by ditching his pants. He had to double down on the scent blocker cologne. He was hoping that their hunt for him would calm down. After drinking a lot of water, his heat returned to normal, but the guys who knew about his secret seemed to only double down on him.

   "Oh god," Tails whimpered as Shadow was just in a towel brushing his teeth. He had just taken a really hot shower, so the steam in the room was carrying his alpha scent.

   "You know... I shouldn't take my rut inhibitor just because you brought it on me," Shadow said, and Tails stamped to his sink and brushed his teeth, annoyed. "Wider," Shadow said, and Tails instinctively opened his mouth wider.

   "Hey! Don't do that!" Tails shook his head back into reality and lightly slapped Shadow's arm. Shadow's husky laugh was so intoxicating it sent shivers down his spine. 

   "I could barely hold back before," Shadow said, walking and backing Tails against the wall. He pressed his arm against the wall and leaned closer to Tails's face. But... now I don't know what I am capable of... you are driving me nuts, Tails," Shadow said, whispering in Tails's ear before lightly nipping at it.

   "Shadow..." Tails moaned, and Shadow chuckled before letting Tails free and walking into the dorm room to change clothes, leaving Tails flustered and panting out of lust. "Damnit, Shadow," Tails muttered as he changed his underwear and doubled his scent-blocking fragrance.

   "I looked up what that chest thing you wear was," Shadow said, and Tails gulped, glaring at him, then bashfully looking away as Shadow dropped the towel.

   "So..."

   "So... You are intersex?" Shadow asked, and Tails didn't answer. Which made the hedgehog bite his lip, "Fuck... You know you're driving me crazy, aren't you, fox..."

   "Y-Youre scaring me," Tail squeaked as he looked in the mirror. Shadow was cornering in on him... he could see the bulge of Shadow's dick under the towel.

   "I am not trying to scare you... Fox," Shadow bent down and whispered in Tails' ear, visibly affecting Tails. The little fox fluttered his long eyelashes. You could smell he was slicking up from his ass and pussy along with pre-cumming... you could even see it through his shorts. "Are you afraid of me?" He said, inching closer to the fox's ear. Tail bit his lip, trying to suppress a moan as Shadow's hot, minty breath hit his ear. "Or are you afraid of how I am making you feel?"

   Tails instinctively bent over on the counter and arched his back, moaning and whimpering as he started to pant. The heat emitting from Tails' sex was insanely erotic and surprisingly did the opposite effect as it should have on the Hedgehog. 

   "B-Both..." Tails pressed his forehead on the mirror, and Shadow quickly turned on the cold water in the shower, pulling Tails in with him fully clothed. When the cold water hit Tails in the face, he started to cool down and return to normal. Shadow kneeled to be at eye level with him as he panicked.

   "I'm sorry. I should've kept myself in line. I think I might be starting my rut," Shadow said, and Tails blushed slightly, nodding. "Er... I know you did a lot of scent blockers and took your heart pills, but you are still fragrant... your scent must have accumulated in me."

   "Im sorry,"

   "No, no, don't apologize." Shadow has become so soft with Tails since he learned about his situation, and he had been soft on him to begin with. "Um... I know you are afraid of the Wolf Triplets. It might be ideal to hide out until your heat subsides or until you get another doctors appointment."

   "No," Tails quickly shook his head, "I-I have never missed a day of school in my entire life, plus I have nowhere to go. I never want to be in the same room as my mom again," Tails, with the help of Silver, has gotten to think about what happened in the summer, and he has a healthy anger toward her... She scarred him for life, getting the abortion, and he thought about it every day.

   "Tails? Where did you go?" Shadow snapped his fingers in his face, returning him from his mind. "What is more important to you, keeping your perfect attendance or the Wolf triplets out of your fur?"

   Tails sighed and looked down... which was a bad idea because he saw Shadow's hard cock as it clung to the wet towel... and how muscular his thighs were. "I... I still don't have anywhere to go,"

   "Uh, yeah, you do... My Manor," Shadow raised an eyebrow as if it were obvious, and Tails widened his eyes.

   "You would let me stay at your house without you... what if I break something?" Tails knit his brows together. Tails knew how important Shadow's things were to him... they were the only thing he had left of his parents.

   "You are in danger here, Tails. You can't go to classes until your heat is up," Shadow looked like Sonic when he was worried and adamant about something to Tails. "The Wolf Triplets are pigs... they will rip you apart like they did with Beatrice Green, and she wasn't even an omega,"

   "T-That was them?" Tails squeaked. He remembered when it happened. The first person to find Beatrice in the quad had to go to therapy, and Beatrice had dropped out of school and was in a wheelchair.

   "Yeah, we should get you to the manor. I can probably take you there and get back to you... I'll text Espio to get you a doctor's excuse,"

   "B-But my friends... they will be worried," Tails looked down at his feet.

   "C-mon, I will deal with everything..."

------- 7:34 AM

Building 14 Dorm X at Acorn Academy, Mobius City, Mystic Heights

   Knuckles was out on the field practicing some drills with Scourge, and Silver was running around the trace with Espio, just killing time for classes to start in another 30 minutes. It was a cold day in hell, and Shadow would willingly go to the football field. Usually, he would rest in bed before classes started or ride on his motorcycle.

   "Is that Shadow?" Scourge raised an eyebrow, missing the ball so it hit him in the face. Knuckles would have apologized if he hadn't heard what he said.

   "Espio," Shadow said, walking to the track and calling the Chameleon's name so he didn't have to chase after him.

   "Oh, Hey, Shads," Espio smiled, walking up to him. Shadow held out his hand for Espio to give him the papers. "Rings up first, bud," Espio winked, and Shadow rolled his eyes, pulling out his wallet and shoving a couple of hundred bucks at Espio's chest. "Ah, here you go, bud. Tell Tails to raise hell,"

   "Tails? What's going on with him?" Silver tilted his head, worried. Shadow looked at Silver and across the field to Knuckles before nodding them to follow him away from prying ears. "Shadow, Is he okay?"

   "What? Is something wrong with Tails?" Knuckles widened his eyes, and Shadow rolled his eyes as if he hadn't even gotten a chance to talk.

   "Look, you guys are the only people who know that Tails is an omega," Shadow said, and both flinched.

   "Wait? You know?" Knuckles raised an eyebrow.

   "Wait... you are fucking Tails?" Silver clenched his fists together, getting fighting mad.

   "Youre fucking Tails?" Knuckle gasped, "Dude..." Knuckles held up a hand for Silver to high-five. "I have beat off every night to the scent of my little guy," Knuckles said before freezing and looking over to Shadow. "Are you fucking Tails?" He asked as he took in Shadow, taking entertainment in Silver about to deck the shit out of the echidna.

   "Shut the fuck up, both of you," Shadow said, about to yawn, "Silver and Tails have been seeing each other all summer, and Knuckles saved Tails from the Wolf Triplets the other day," Shadow explained.

   "Shit..." Silver palmed his head, "I knew I should have walked him home, I knew he was about to hit his heat."

   "Just shut the fuck up and let me finish, Douche Nozzles," Shadow snapped and pinched the bridge of his nose, "I just entered my rut, and I got drunk on Tails' scent... that meant that anyone could smell his scent since he is careful about his scent. I have him at the Manor until his heat subsides,"

   "Oh wow..." Silver said, calming down, knowing that Tails was safe.

   "Tails is right... you have changed. You're not that bad after all," Knuckles said, and Shadow huffed.

   "Yeah, and I will fucking kill you if you let anyone know," Shadow snapped, "You can't visit Tails at my house because you are idiots and oafs that will break everything... but I will let you on Ghost Hill to visit Tails. Silver needs help to get through his heat. You can use my RV,"

   "Woah... I want to fuck Tails, too," Knuckles whined.

   "Over my dead body," Silver muttered, crossing his arms and tilting his head at Shadow. "Thanks, Shadow. We will make up something to tell the others."

   "I'm going to run by the office and give these forged doctor's notes to Tails," Shadow said, nodding for Knuckles to go. "Silver, what are you and Tails?" Shadow raised an eyebrow.

   "Hmm?" Silver asked, confused.

   "You looked like you were about to jump Knuckles with the mere thought he was fucking Tails too,"

   "No-No, you got it all wrong, dude," Silver played it off, "Tails' and I are just friends,"

   "No, I think you have it wrong," Shadow said intensely, not even trying to hide his feelings or being uninterested. "You need to get your feelings in order and communicate them with Tails, for his sake. He is going through something, I don't know what... but he doesn't need your shit to fuck with his emotions even more," Shadow said, and Silver blinked as Shadow stormed off... leaving him alone to think.

MOVIE SHADOW X READER HEADCANONS

Gender neutral reader

Just finished watching Sonic 3 and it was awesome!! Haven’t seen anyone written for movie Shadow yet sooo.. 👀

Warnings?: No spoilers for the movie in this! But maybe him being out of character, I haven’t wrote anything in years lol

- I feel like his love languages would be quality time and physical touch, he wouldn’t be used to touch at first but would gradually warm up to it. Definitely wouldn’t be the type to be over the top with public affection. Maybe handholding or a hand on your waist in public, but that’s probably it

- Might would be one to get jealous, needs reassurance that you’re not leaving and that you love him, truly. He’s been through a lot and needs to know that you’re not leaving him too

- Likes looking at the stars with you!! Reminds me of that one meme

“Do u like stars?”

“Ya, they’re cool”

- Likes to watch moves with you too! Just please don’t have him watch movies that have ‘aliens’ that are considered bad guys in it :( Just watch cat videos on YouTube with him, he’d be content with that

- Try and show him video games! He’d be really confused on how the controls work, a lot has changed in fifty years

- I feel like he’d like the game Stray, cause cats!! I feel like he absolutely loves cats. Would also probably like Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon and Animal Crossing. Anything that’s a calm game where you can just do whatever

- Speaking of cats.. he’d love going to a cat cafe with his s/o, would probably want to take them all home afterwards though

- Would end up having a black cat come up to him, rubbing against him and purring. He’d just pick up the cat and ask

“..can we take him home?”

- You can’t say no to Shadow, especially when he’s holding a cat in his hands.. so needless to say, you guys have a new pet now

- But besides cafe dates, just staying at home and cuddling would be perfectly fine with him as a date, anywhere with you, he’s happy

- I feel like he’d genuinely be a really good boyfriend, just takes him time to warm up a bit and get more comfortable with romantic stuff

- And motorcycle rides!! They’d be so fun, but if you get scared if he ever goes too fast, just ask for him to slow down or go a normal speed, he’d probably listen (cause it’s you)

- Gets all blushy and flustered when it comes to physical affection and kisses, he’s not used to it but he loves it

- He’d also like music, specifically older songs. Likes to put vinyls on a record player and dance with you to the song :’)) even if you don’t know how to dance, he’ll try and guide you

Not really sure what else to add here! Hopefully this was good, sorry if it was out of character :’)

I absolutely love Shadow so much, he’s such a cool character and looked so amazing in the movie

[risziarts]

My favorite voices of some of the characters

[maurofonseca]

here's all the classic sonic stuff I've been doing in the past few months, with text explaining where each character is taken from

[gunnbby]

The least weird part about Sonic lore is that Tails is the only character I can think of that owns a home.

In fact, he owns multiple homes in various parts of the world.

He’s not the second smartest person in the world because he makes machines, it’s because he fucking mastered the realty market at 8 YEARS OLD

------- Headmistress Longclaw: Rosemary Laigle: 38, 5 foot Soar Laigle: 40, 7 ft 7 ------- September 2nd, 2014 7:43 AM

Acorn Academy, Mobius City, Mystic Highlands

   Tails barely exited the SUV before his step-father drove off, "Bye, Momma..." Tails sighed, thinking he was the only one in the parking lot. Usually, he was never this late. He would normally be at the Boarding School a week early, but things had gotten tricky. He looked to his right to see Shadow looking at him while walking to the main building. Tails gulped and jogged onto campus.

   The Prowers were an established family in Mobius. His father was an Army Hero, and they were supposed to have the perfect family, but that was different behind closed doors. Amadeus had just been buried at the beginning of the summer, and his mother had already remarried. Of all Mobians she could marry, it was an Eagle. Eagles were the mortal enemy of the Foxes, but his Mom was way too happy to be a widow of three months.

   Tails wasn't too upset to ignore his traditions with Sonic, so he laid his ears back and crouched until he could pounce on his friend, using his tails to propel further. Though, like always, Sonic had heard him and quickly stepped back to catch and pull him into a hug. "Tails! I was so worried about you. I thought you decided to go on to university since I had only heard from you so little this summer.

   "I told you I was going on Vacation, and I might not have service, silly," He hugged his arms around Sonic's neck.

   "Have you heard the news? it's terrible!" Sonic whined, and Tails raised an eyebrow. He has yet to have time to check his emails or texts because they have just returned to West Valley. "Everyone has been assigned a new room and roommate since there were so many pregnancies last year.

   "What?" Tails gasped. He had been roommates with Sonic since Pre-K. Acorn Academy has never been split up into genders. Pregnancy had never been an issue before since they would let students pick their roommates, and they would usually pick their best friend. It made Tails feel like less of a freak. 

   He didn't only have two tails, but he also had genitalia of all genders. He identified as a Male. However, it's harder for him to get respect because many people still look down on Omegas, and they don't even know he is an intersex Omega at that. The general public didn't even know as he loaded anti-heat spray on his body and took some pretty intense anti-heat pills.

   "You should probably swing by the office to see where you are staying now," Amy suggested, and Tails nodded. He was worried that the luggage he sent to the school a couple of weeks ago didn't make it to his new room.

   "No need. He is in my dorm. Building 14 Dorm X," Shadow said as he was walking by. He watched Tail's eyes grow wide and Sonic's face growing angry. "Not thrilled about it either. I'm being forced to sleep here and not at my mansion," Shadow muttered as he rolled his eyes and went to Rouge to see what she had been up to all summer.

------- 2:53 PM    "Professor Robotnik? You said that we had partners for this project?" Silver asked, reminding the eclectic teacher to inform everyone of their partners as the dismissal bell rang.

   AP Robotics was Tail's favorite class. He loved making artificial intelligence and trinkets. He does it every day. He would much rather work alone, but he was a rule stickler, and would make a fuss about it. He tried his best not to look in Shadow's direction as if it would tempt his tough luck.

   "Your dorm mates, if you don't have a dorm mate in AP Robotics, then you can see me after class," Dr. Robotnik waved them all away. Tails avoided Shadow as he walked out of the classroom, while Shadow didn't even think about approaching him. He wanted to go to his room and nap.

   "Nope... Nuh-uh... I forbid it," Sonic crossed his arms as Tails told him what happened, "I will talk to Principle Longclaw. She loves me,"

   "She is your mother... and she never listens to your demands. She doubles down so you learn your lessons," Tails pouted.

   "I don't care,"

   "Is Shadow all that bad? You haven't even asked Tails if he wanted to change roommates... aren't you happy with Knuckles?" Amy shrugged. She couldn't hide the tiniest bit of jealousy. Tails was so cute, just Sonic's type. 

   She didn't fully believe that they had been friends for this long and hadn't developed feelings for each other. An Alpha and an Omega can't just be friends for this long, and it is strictly platonic. "Seriously... they will only be Robotic partners for a week so that you can chill,"

   "Amy, he is pure evil. Do you not remember him cutting off your pigtails when you fell asleep back in third grade? What about you, Tails? He gave you so many wedgies I am surprised that you didn't have crap in your brain,"

   "Thank you for the image..." Tails and Amy pinched their noses.

   "And worst of all... He put laxatives in my precious chili dogs... I didn't eat them for at least 5 hours after that..." Sonic was seething. No one messed with his chili dogs and got away with it with their lives.

   "Sonic, it's not like I want to be his partner... and it isn't for a week. It's for the entire school year," Tails sighed.

   "What?" Sonic and the gang gulped.

   "We have to build a life-size robot that is functional as a human, which can have conversations, thoughts, wants, and skill building," Tails ran his hand through his ginger hair.

   "Tails, I will fix this, okay..." Sonic said, and before Tails could say anything, Sonic had jetted away.

   "Are you coming to the party tonight?" Amy asked. " It's a back-to-school party thrown by Jet. He has it every year in the forest."

   "Oh, um... I am pretty tired, raincheck?"

   "Of course, hon, I am going to try to find Sonic," Amy said, patting Tails on the back and walking off with Cream and Blaze. Knuckles waved to his little buddy before walking off for soccer practice.

   Tails has been trying his best to avoid Silver all day, but it was hard since he had most classes with him. He tried walking away, but much like his brother, Silver was fast, "Tails," He didn't want to overpower Tails. Tails tried to act oblivious to him and put earbuds in his ears, but Silver was persistent. He was followed from the main building to the opposite side of campus. "Miles," Silver sighed, placing a hand on Tail's as the fox was reaching to unlock his door.

   "Silver, please... I don't feel like talking right now,"

   "I don't want to talk. I want to see how you are doing," Silver told him. He didn't need an answer from Tails to know he wasn't okay. "I... um, I am not mad- I... understand-" Silver said, pinching his nose. He needed to learn how to approach this. He didn't want to seem like he was permitting Tails to do anything. Soon after, Tails hugged him, and Silver hugged him back.

   "I am not mad at you... I need some time," Tails sighed.

   "Faggots," Vector said, passing by the two. Only a few people knew about Tails being intersex except for his immediate family and the doctors at Mobius City Medical... and after this summer, Silver.

   "Don't listen to him..." Silver told Tails, rubbing circles on his back, "I am in Building 23 Dorm A..."

   "Thank you, Silver," He managed to say goodbye and get into his dorm before he began to tear up. Tails and Shadow immediately made eye contact before both immediately looked away.

   Shadow transitioned from a bully to a recluse/loner two years ago. No one knew what happened. When he was old enough to emancipate himself, he moved out of the orphanage and into his parents' mansion. The Blackbournes were well-known politicians who passed away before Shadow's first birthday. 

   Shadow hated the orphanage, having to dorm at Acorn Academy, and, most importantly, having roommates. He would be at his home right now, but the academy had a rule against going off campus for the first week of School. The manor was 30 minutes away by motorcycle on Ghost Hill. He missed it so much.

   Tails looked through his luggage for his school sweats. He pulled out the project he had been working on all summer. A balcony and a little nook were in the room, so he would try to have some alone time.

   "I am sorry that you are upset," Shadow sighed. He could smell how devastated and upset Tails was... and he wouldn't be able to fall asleep. He hated the scent of sorrow. It smelled like rain. "If you want, I can go with you to file a roommate swap in the morning,"

   "Huh?" Tails asked, and then he let what Shadow said sink in, "No, I am not upset about that... Yes, I am nervous, but something else is happening," Tails sighed. He looked over to Shadow, and the gloomy guy nodded before closing his eyes and putting his headphones on.

   Tails had never heard Shadow apologize before. It had been a long time since he had been a bully. Tails knew it could be too soon to tell if he was a good guy now. Meanwhile, Shadow knew he could manipulate Tails because of his looks and aura as an Alpha, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to. It wasn't Tails' fault that he was forced to stay more on campus. 

   The two didn't press anything, going to their respective worlds away from the campus. Tails found his micro-robot and tolls before leaving the balcony to destress from the day.

Sonic x shadow generation X Sonic superstar

I know Sonic is a Shadow fan to

[limethefirst]

Mutual Understanding

pairings: Shadow the Hedgehog x reader (platonic)

warnings: sonic 3 spoilers, mentions of death, trauma bonding lol!!!

summary: as the assistant in training for Stone, you’re tasked with keeping an eye on the black and red haired hedgehog

a/n: just watched sonic 3, I love it so much I immediately wrote this as soon as I got home, please enjoy and go watch it as soon as possible (I LOVE YOU SHADOW AUAGHH)

You watched as Stone left the Crab, running a quick errand so he could finish the suits he was making for Robotnik and his grandfather Gerald. You had a strange feeling about him and you could tell Stone did too but as assistants all you could do was brush it aside.

As Stone left you looked towards your right, Shadow stood near you his eyes staring at where your mentor was standing only moments ago, before his head tilted to glance at you. His eyes scanned you, as you scanned him back, you knew what he was capable of, you were warned but you couldn’t help but keep looking.

Shadow held his gaze on you before he turned away, looking at the television still playing in the background, the telenovela now capturing his attention.

You watched him as he stared ahead. Deciding you had nothing else to do, you sat down on the floor, not daring to get near Dr Robotniks chair, knowing he’d notice if it was moved even a centimeter. A sigh escaped your lips as whatever was going on in the strange show kept going on, you tried to get into it but it felt too generic for you.

“Why are you here,” Was the first thing you’d heard him say. You perked up at his sudden question, this was the first time since you’d met him that shadow had talked to you.

“What?” You asked him, curious as to what he meant.

He looked back at you, no longer paying attention to the show, “I asked why are you here”

You slightly raised a brow still somewhat confused, “Well I’m uh- an apprentice here so it’s like kinda my job?” You shrugged at the hedgehog, slightly raising your arms.

Shadow didn’t seem satisfied with your answer. The room settled into an uncomfortable silence as Shadow continued to just stare at you.

Nervously you glanced around the room, not out of fear but just confusion as to what he even meant.

“Are you alone?”

“What.” You asked, deadpanning at the straightforward question, “Obviously not-“

“No” Shadow cut you off, “Why are you with them?”

You knew who he was referring to, Stone and Robotnik. Obviously they weren’t your parents, it was easy to see from the way they treated you. Stone was kind but he wasn’t very parental, he was more of a teacher. Robotnik was definitely not parental, he was more like a demanding boss who didn’t give his workers equal pay.

“They’re all I have,” you bluntly responded to the hedgehog, as you slowly brought your legs closer to you.

Noticing the uncomfortable feeling you were getting Shadows gaze somewhat fell, maybe it was empathy or something else that you couldn’t quite understand.

Nervously you fiddled with the necklace around your neck, a two little star emblems given to you by your late mother.

Shadows eyes widened, he stepped closer to you trying to get a glimpse at the necklace. You looked up at him, an arm around your legs, the other gripping the necklace tight.

“You like?” You asked him, noticing how his legs uncontrollably moved him closer to you. His gaze was still fixed on it, as if he was remembering, “My mom gave this to me before she passed, she loved the stars, I do too honestly.”

He slowly sat down in front of you, both of you now looking at each other. Slightly noticing his distress you hesitantly took off the necklace, passing it to him so he could get a closer look. You knew he wouldn’t take it, of course you’d just met him but it felt as if you two had known each other before.

The necklace was silver, it was nicely kept; obviously cleaned regularly although it was a bit too small for you by now but that didn’t seem to stop you from wearing it. On it were two stars, one big star and another smaller star, it looked as if they were shining, but one was brighter than the other.

“A light still shines even though the star is gone,” You mumbled looking at the necklace in Shadows hands. His gaze quickly snapped up, his usual angry demeanor faltering to show a small look of shock.

“What?..” Shadow asked, as he looked between you and the necklace.

You laid on your back, your knees up letting out a sigh, “It’s just, you know something I like to say when I think about her,”

Shadow got up from his sitting position, he walked over to your side, handing you the necklace back as he laid down next to you. There were no stars inside the Crab, just a bunch of machine and technology that you truly didn’t understand half of.

There was a comfortable silence now, as you two laid down next to each other; Shadow sighed, for the first time it sounded like he was free, like the demons from his past were no longer attacking his every thought.

He turned his head to look at you, “You remind me of her,”

Snapping out of your trance you looked back at him, eyebrows slightly raised, “Who?” You asked, your tone soft as to not startle him.

His gaze was, soft, no longer angry at the world, maybe at himself, you really couldn’t tell, “Someone I used to know a long time ago,”

You let out a hum of acknowledgment, “She sounds nice,” you said, looking back towards the roof of the contraption.

Shadow still looked at you, you were no Maria, but you made him rethink; that maybe, maybe the world isn’t as bad as he thought it was, maybe there were people worth saving.

“She was.”
