Work Text:
How could this happen right now this is not at all the time. This piece of plastic brings me so much dried and shame and the person that caused this hates my guts, I hate my guts so I can’t blame him. What’d I do to deserve this my life is in ruins, absolutely shattered over some asshole.
*************************************************************************************
“Hey babe what are you up to?”.
“Nothing”.
I hate when Adam does one-word responses it’s like he doesn’t even want to have a half-decent conversation he’s acting like I’m not his boyfriend. “You want to do something this weekend we both have the day off”. I hear Adam's heavy footsteps behind me almost like they're filled with anger, makes me shiver to my core, I can feel his every breath on the back of my neck.
“Why do you keep pestering me with questions, if I want something I’ll tell you until then keep your damn mouth shut”.
I’m too scared to turn around and face him much less speak, he grabs my my chin and turns me around to face him my legs weaken, is he going to hit me, I close my eyes the shaking hits me heavily.
“What’s wrong? Scared, don't worry I’m in a good mood, yeah let's go out I’ll pick the place.” He lets go and walks away, but I’m still trembling, I didn’t hit me but I’m still scared.
*ding*
It’s a text from Shrek, I smile I thought he said he was going to be busy.
Shrek: Hey I got off work early wanna meet up?
I wanna meet up with Shrek but I don’t know how Adam will take it. “Is it ok if I hang out with on-”.
“What the fuck did I just say.” I look at him he’s already walking to me, everything flashes before I can realize what his about to do.
*SMACK*
“UGH” I hand my face in pure pain looking down at the ground so he doesn’t get more mad and keep hitting me.
“I’m pretty damn sure I told you not to talk unless I spoke to you or did you already forget, you know Sonic you can be real fucking stupid, you’d want to meet up with anyway?” He yells without raising his voice I hear it so often I forget what his voice sounds like when he isn’t mad. “Well? Answer you’d you want to meet up with?”
“S-Shrek” I regret the words as soon as I spoke them I should’ve lied but he’d been even madder if he found out I lied.
“Shrek of course you wanna go out with him probably wanna fuck him to you’re such a slut you fuck anyone that gets close to you.”
“NO, y-you’re wrong, i-it’s not like that.” His eyes like at me with pure anger, I’m in trouble.
“DON’T YOU EVER RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME, YOU STUPID FUCKING BITCH.”
“Wait Adam I-I’m sorry I was wrong messed up.” I plea still on the ground trembling my cheek throbbing but I know it’s no use. He grabs me by my hair and pulls me to my feet but slaps me knocking me off balance again causing me to crash into the counter. His slapping doesn’t stop until my face is over in tears and blood from my nose, begging would have only made him hit me more. I slide down the counter my legs giving out, he kneels in front of me and lifts my head forcing me to look into his cold gaze.
“Sure, go ahead and hang out with Shrek if you have the will to go out in public looking like that, but one thing that you shouldn’t forget if that if I find that he touched you in any way I’ll make you unable to stand for another reason.”
He drops my face, standing I can feel his gaze pull away from me as he walks away slamming the front door behind him. I grab my phone that had fallen with me and text Shrek.
Sonic: Hey sure give me an hour but can we stay at your place?
I walk up to his door I am hesitant to knock on his door I know how he’s going to react, I tried to clean up as much as I could but the swelling and bruising are really noticeable.
*knock knock*
I get nervous as the door opens my eyes drop so I don’t have to face his reaction I see too often.
“Again, when did this happen.” I still don’t look up.
“After you texted me, he wanted silence.” I mumble still struggling to speak through my swollen cheeks.
“Don’t make excuses for him, here come inside I’ll get something for your face.”
“Thank you.” I say as I walk past him into his living room I’m all too familiar with I crash here every time Adam has his moods. Shrek places his hand on my cheek.
“EW, it still hurts.”
“Well duh as much as I hate to compliment him, he is really strong, sit on the couch I’ll get you stuff, I assume you are staying the night.” Shrek says walking away no need to respond he already knows my answer. Shrek and I have been best friends since we were in first grade nothing has ever gotten in the way of our friendship and honestly, I don’t think anything can.
“Here, I got some ointment to put on your face it’ll help with the swelling.”
He says it like he doesn’t use this stuff every time this happens I know what it is but either way I know he only keeps rebuying it cause of me even though it’s expensive. “Wanna watch a movie while we do this?”
“Sure what movie? You know I’m not picky.” Shrek says, but he’ll be more focused on my face anyway.
“Anywhere else I should check.”
“Um, my back I slammed into the counter pretty hard.” I look over his eyes filled with sadness his mouth pressed into a tight line frown but he doesn’t say anything. I turn my back to him and lift my shirt, nervousness flooding over me.
“Yeah you have bruising on your back I can see where you hit into it.” His hands trace the bruise, his fingertips tickle as they brush against me.
“Hey, that tickles.” I said to him but his fingertips didn’t stop.
“I’m just applying the ointment I wanna make sure I get all of it covered so you don’t feel as sore in the morning.”
Even after he stops I can still feel his big hands touching me almost as if my skin craves his touch.
“There, all done” Shrek blurts as he pulls his fingers away, even with him not touching my back I can still feel them tracing the bruise resonating on the missing touch.
I turn to face the tv after putting my shirt back on, Shrek already looking through the vast selection of movies for us to pick from.
“How about we watch The Notebook, I’ve never watched it before but how bad can it be.”
“Sure sounds fine by me.” I don’t really care what we watch I just like the comfort that Shrek brings me when we are together, I feel safe around him like my every flaw is something that makes me loveable. I guess that’s what happens when you’re best friends since the age of eating crayons to see if the orange crayon tastes like an orange.
The time with Shrek passes like it does everytime we hang out we share what we haven’t been able to tell each other through our busy schedules and laugh with every stumble of our words until my eyelids become too over to keep them open, resting them Shreks shoulder.
“Sonic, Sonic wake up.” my eyes open slowly as they adjust to the light.
“Yeah, I’m up.”
“Good cause I have to leave for work.” Those words sounded like a puppy whimpering that their owner is leaving them home alone.
“Is it really six already?” I sit up finally fully awake.
“Yeah, anyway I gotta get going you can eat anything in the fridge. See ya.” He ruffles my hair as he gets up to walk away.
“I’ll text you later.” He smiles at me as he shuts the door behind him.
Even though I had a lot of fun last night the dread of facing Adam will wash my good mood away like a plastic bag in the wind.
My hand is on the handle but I’m struggling to find the will to open it, I just have to twist my wrist but fear freezes me.
*creak*
I open the door eyes wide searching for Adam but I don’t see him, I walk in still scared he might jump out at me but he doesn’t my fear walks out of me. I lock the door but I feel a hand grab my waist I turn to look but the person's other hand slams against the door making my eyes freeze on the door in front of me.
“Hi, baby did you have fun last night without me?” Adam whispers in my ear followed by a kiss.
“W-we just watched a movie nothing much.” The fear that had walked out came running back.
*Chuckle*
“You really expect me to believe that? I thought about it last night we haven’t done it in a while so you went to your friend's house to take care of it didn’t you? ” I want to yell at him that it’s not like that but that’s what got me into this position in the first place.
“No, I don’t do anything thing like that with anyone else, just you, I don’t do anything to myself unless you’re there.” I’m loyal to anyone I date I don’t cheat out of respect but honestly I think I don’t cheat on Adam is cause he’ll probably would kill me if he found out.
“That’s a good answer, you really know how to sweet talk me, glad to know you only submit yourself to me.” He goes from my ear to my neck kissing and licking it, his hands finding their way across my body. If your lover seduces you, you’re supposed to be aroused or excited so why do I feel empty like all I want to do is rip his hands off my body and slap his lips away from my face? Adam slips my shirt off so he can target my nipples but still even with the stimulation I can’t bring myself to get excited about this man.
“Hmmm, your dick is still soft even while I’m touching you, if just confess about sleeping with Shrek now I won’t go so hard on you.” One of his hands traces its way down to in-between my legs and squeezes making me gasp.
“No, I didn’t sleep with him.” Adam’s grip hardened displeased with my answer.
“Guess I’ll just need to check myself then.” He practically rips my pants off at this point it’s taking all of me and my fear to fight back and push him away.
“Adam I’m not in the mood to do it can we please stop.” He grabs my hair and slams my face into the door. “ACK”.
“How funny you wanna stop right before I was going to check your ass, why cause you know I know the difference of your hole before and after you get absolutely plowed.”
“I-I just don’t want to do it, check if you want, but I don’t want to go any further than that.” Adam takes his free hand and pushes two fingers in me checking like he said he would but he goes straight for my prostate.“Wait AH, Adam I said I didn’t want to do it Ngh.”
“I don’t care what you want, I want to thrust in you, I want to hear you moan I want to make you cum and cry because I want to. You don’t get to do want you want only what I want because you belong to me.”
That was the last thing that I heard before I just let it happen there’s no way I can fight this man he is too strong if I tried to push him off he’ll just force his way back onto me making it even more unbearable to deal with. If I begged him to stop he would laugh and make it rougher getting more excited by my cries of desperation there was no way I could’ve yelled for help. I was stuck there just forced to take it and pretend I didn’t hate every second of it but he wouldn’t have cared if I did or not he made that clear, I tried to remove myself mentally from what was happening but he continued to find a way to bring me back. All my love for this man disappeared, though I think that happened a while ago I was just hoping he would come to love me the same way I did but now I’ve given up all hope on this man if you can even call him a man.
*************************************************************************************
Sonic: I want to break up with Adam.
Shrek: Finally but what made you realize how much of an asshole he is?
Sonic: I rather not talk about it.
Shrek: Are you good?
Sonic: Yeah just could use your help moving out Adam won’t be home tonight.
Shrek: You know I’m there I’ll be over as soon as I get done with work want any comfort snacks?
Sonic: you’re the only comfort I need right now.
Shrek: I’ll bring chocolate just in case.
Sonic: You really are the best.
Shrek: Yeah, Yeah
Shrek: sorry I have to go my boss is asking for something, be over as soon as I can.
I miss Shrek even though I saw him last night, he’s the only person I have and I let myself be slipped away from him, I won’t let us drift any further apart only closer. I try and stand to start a long process of packing that needs to be done before tomorrow, but something feels off I run to the bathroom to puke but there’s nothing but stomach acid to puke up. The hell why am I getting morning sickness I’m not sick.
Sonic: I know this sounds weird but bring a pregnancy test over when you get here.
Shrek: What!
*************************************************************************************
“Here I brought chocolate and a pregnancy test, do you think you’re pregnant.” Shrek looks me in the eyes trying to find the answer but I look down avoiding them.
“It’s something I should make sure of and not just hoping for the best.” He wouldn’t judge me, right?
“I know this is a pushy question but when was the last time you had sex with Adam?” It was a pushy question but I can hear the concern in his voice at least it was not disgust.
“Um, last night but before that was two months ago, I was having morning sickness so it’s a possibility.”
“Here take the test and I’ll finish the packing.” I finally look up at him he’s smiling, even though I’m in a fucked up situation I can’t help but smile with him. I don’t say anything as I take the test from him only my smile.
I come out and place the test on the counter “Well what’s it say?”
“I don’t know yet the box says to wait fifteen to twenty minutes for results.”
“Well why don’t you come help with the rest we don’t have much left, it might help take your mind of things.” I walk over to him and I hug him he hugs me back. I think I know how I feel, the only person I want to raise my kid is Shrek he’s the only person who loves me and would love a kid that isn’t his but still love both of us with our faults.
“I love you Shrek.”
“I love you too, what took you so long.” I could feel his breathing, his heartbeat it soothes me.
“I guess I thought my feelings were because we’ve been together for so long but now that I’ve thought about it you’re the person I want as a lover and the father of my child.” I pull away from him with my arms still wrapped around him looking into his eyes.
“I would love to be with you and father our kid.” Both of us are teary-eyed at this point just staring at each other until Shrek breaks the silence.
“Come let's finish so we can get out of here.”
*************************************************************************************
“That’s everything let's start bringing things to the car, prop the door open.”
“Got it.” I walk over to the door this time, grabbing the handle unafraid, swing it open, and freeze. “Adam thought y-you weren’t gonna be here till t-tomorrow.”
“The fuck is going on?” Adam walks into the apartment, and with each step he takes I take one back, Shrek comes out of the bedroom making Adam freeze in his tracks.
“I see what’s going on I leave for the night and you bring your fuck buddy over. I guess for a slut like you even rammed into like that last night still wouldn’t be enough.” Adam's eyes stare at me with a cold gaze like I’m no more than an easy prey to hunt and kill.
“I’d your mouth if you knew what was good for you damn bastard.” Shrek growled I’d only seen like this a couple of times and each time it was scary.
Adam seemed unaffected by his words he looked around the room but locked eyes on the pregnancy test on the counter, me and Shreks eyes widened. He walked over and picked it up and smirked placing it back down.
“So you think that you can run away with my kid, and I know it’s mine because no one else would want you except Green-Apple over here and he’d never mess with a taken man.” Keeping the same smirk on his face.
“Well, he doesn’t to worry about that anymore, we’re over I’m breaking up with you.” I said walking over to Shrek, grabbing his hand.
“And what of my kid, that thing growing in your stomach is mine, do you really think you can just leave and it’ll be over? Oh no, I hunt you down no matter where you go, I’ll sue you and Greeny over here for all you got that baby will us together forever no matter what you do.”
“I’ll take care of any part that deals with you for him once we leave you’ll never see him again, you wanna see the kid you text me and I bring the kid to you, you are not getting your way this time fucker.”
“You're not getting away from me.”Adam’s eyes flared with anger, he was pissed. He walked to the corner of the kitchen and grabbed the butcher knife.
“ADAM ARE YOU CRAZY! PUT THAT DOWN!” I yelled, Shrek pushing me behind him.
“Alright Sonic you want to put an end to this, let’s end this.” Adam’s face was contorted with rage but nothing more no pain, no betrayal like the only thing he was truly mad about was he was going to lose against someone like me.
“NOOO”
Adam lunged toward us raising his knife for a swing Shrek threw me across the room making me fall to my knees my adrenaline racing I turned to see drops of blood hitting the floor in a trickle that filled my ears with horror. The knife plunged into Shreks stomach by Adam I pry my eyes away tears falling down my face. I see my phone on the counter, I leap to it, dialing 911. Adam turns around Shrek falls to the floor, Adam looks at me smiling.
“See honey I told you, you're not getting away. You or my baby.” Adam trailed the tip of the knife from the bottom of my stomach to the top and to my the bottom of my chin using it to lift my face to force me to meet his eyes.
911 operator: Hello, sir are you in danger? What is your address?
Adam put the knife down and grabbed the phone from my hand *Beep* hanging up on the operator and throwing the phone.
“There’s no need to cry now dear, nothing is left to bother us, now we can celebrate our new family.” I can’t move this time not because of fear for me but for my baby, I know this man will not stop just because he has a kid and I can’t risk losing my baby, I’ve already lost my best friend. Adam pulled me to him trapping my arms against his chest and mine, having one arm keep me pulled to him tight and the other lifting my face to force our lips together and wipe my tears.
“POLICE PUT YOUR HANDS UP” I pull my face from his looking at the cops with guns pointed at us. I used what was left of my strength to push Adam away and into the cops who quickly detained him as he screamed in anger. I ignored all his calls to me to “help him” and not to “Leave him alone” but I flushed them out with the faint breath coming from Shrek he was still alive.
*************************************************************************************
“WAH-WAHHH”
“She looks just like you got your blue eyes.” The baby continued to cry even with her mother holding her to comfort her.
“She’s for sure a crybaby like you Soinc” Shrek giggled.
“I am not a crybaby, those were pregnancy hormones.” Sonic playfully slapped Shrek on the shoulder.
“Hey, whatever makes you feel better but you can only blame the pregnancy for so long so I’d come up with a new excuse.”
“Yeah, yeah, you’re the one that has to deal with these hormones.” Sonic said in between kisses from Shrek.
“What should we name her? I can’t think of one that fits her except crybaby.”
“How about Felicia.”
“I love that name, our crybaby girl Felicia Hedgehog. It’s perfect.” Sonic held Felicia against him in one arm and held Shrek’s hand in the other the engagement rings clacking together as their grip on each other grew stronger.
*************************************************************************************
The neighbors had heard Sonics screaming and called the police, Shrek and Sonic thanked them in person for saving their lives. Shrek was not stabbed in any vital organs and sustained minimal damage from the stab passing out from the shock and bleedloss. As for Adam, he was sent to life in person on the counts of two attempted murders and endangerment of a fetus. Adam doesn’t just rot away in a cell no, his fate is much worse Shrek knows a couple of prisoners in the same prison as Adam and told them what had happened. They take revenge for Sonic and Shrek to his ‘Prison Pocket’ he’ll face the same pain he inflected on others but much worse and no chance of escape.
Sonic and Shrek got married a year after Felicia's birth and have four kids in total Felicia, Tails, Fiona, and Ivo. They lived their lives happy bringing each other joy for each other and their kids, but while the kids are away at school they turn each other into a swampy mess of love and parent-only wrestling.
