Chapter Text
“Why I have to be the first…” Silver lamented. His hands were tied above his head using a soft pine garland.
Earlier, Sonic had taken a lot of candy canes and split them in two—taking only the sticks while putting the hooks on a large bowl—so they could be used as bets. With seven sticks in hand, he declared that whoever got the shortest one would be tied to the Christmas’ tree trunk and everyone present could do whatever they wanted to the loser.
Silver was the first who took the candy stick. After the rest took theirs, it turned out that his was the shortest… resulting in him now lying on his back on the dark red-green stripes carpet.
The only good thing he felt was that his face was not beneath the needle leaves. As to what the other six were going to do to him though… Sonic hadn’t said what they could or couldn’t do yet.
“Alright! So who wants to go first?” Sonic yelled with full enthusiasm.
No one moved. They just stood still and looked at each other; either feeling unsure or were buying time until Sonic himself went first. Among the others, only Mephiles who looked intensely at Silver.
Shadow crossed his arms with a scary frown in his face while Espio only looked down at the carpet. He would steal a glance towards Silver a few times, but whenever their eyes met, he quickly turned to look at the carpet beneath him.
As anxious as Silver was of what’s going to be done to him, he suspected that Espio was a lot more tense than him. As well as Shadow; he looked like he was thinking of something very serious to say, but he didn’t make any sound.
Many minutes passed in silence with even Jet not saying a single word although he still let out a few annoyed huffs.
“Sooo, no one wants to be the first then?”
Nobody answered.
“Alright! I’ll be the first! One of you better quickly go next so I don’t have to point my finger.”
Sonic walked a few steps toward Silver when two voices came out.
“Wait—”
“I’ll go first.”
Espio was interrupted by Mephiles’ slightly cold voice.
“Oh? Why didn’t you say earlier? Go on then!” Sonic stepped back.
Espio just froze. He didn’t know whether to say more or just shut his mouth until Mephiles was done with his turn…
Mephiles casually walked to Silver, got down to his knees with Silver’s body between them, and he grabbed Silver’s muzzle with more than enough strength then completely covered his lips. Silver was not prepared at all for the sudden kiss. He could feel Mephiles’ tongue move without restraint inside his mouth. His mind went blank due to shock. Why didn’t he bother to say anything first so Silver at least knew what he’s gonna do?
The warm sensation that came from the hungry red flesh that wouldn’t stop touching every part of his mouth was so uncomfortable that Silver needed to shut his eyes. He wanted Mephiles to stop, but he couldn’t say a word.
Sonic just stood there looking at what Mephiles did without feeling any kind of concern. Espio clenched his fists and teeth, but he tried to stay silent. The rest just waited with a bored and disinterested look on their faces; wanting to know how long it took for Mephiles to finish whatever he’s doing… But Shadow had a scary gleam in his eyes as if he’s going to attack once everything went south.
After kissing Silver until he’s finally out of breath, Mephiles put a hand on his muzzle. He brushed Silver’s cheek once with his thumb, and then slowly trailed down to his neck, chest, until it finally reached his thigh.
As Silver thought Mephiles wouldn’t invade him anymore, he suddenly felt a finger examining his entrance. He didn’t dare make a sound, but perhaps a panic gasp still slipped ‘cause what happened next was—
“Enough—”
“What the fuck are you trying to do, hedgehog?”
Espio was interrupted once more. By Shadow this time… and he looked like he had lost it.
“Shads… why do you look at me like that?”
Sonic was confused instead of shocked.
“Why? You tied Silver and only said we can do ‘anything’ to him… Do you even understand what that meant?”
“I’m not stupid, Shads. When I said ‘anything,’ then that means you can even put your fingers or your dick inside him if you want. If Silver doesn’t like it, then he’s out of luck because his candy is the shortest… and if I remember right, isn’t your candy the second shortest?”
Hearing Sonic casually said everything about the game except for the don’ts, Infinite couldn’t help the urge of wanting to interrupt by saying that it was his candy that’s actually the second shortest, but not like it was that distinguishable from Shadow’s. Besides, with Shadow being labelled as the ‘second loser’ by Sonic, it looked like the game could be delayed for a while.
Too bad that the bowl filled with candy hooks was too far away. Infinite would’ve loved to snack on them while watching the heated debate between two stubborn hedgehogs in front of him.
“You dare tie me up?” It was a threat instead of a dare.
“I don’t have to if your candy is longer.” Sonic said in a matter-of-fact tone. Shadow didn’t scare him for whatever reason. “Besides, why are you so angry anyway? Once we all take turns, Silver can decide with whom he wants to spend the rest of the night with. And perhaps, to the rest of his life if he wants to—”
“Wait, so Silver can choose?” Espio managed to interrupt.
Sonic turned his head to him and momentarily forgot about Shadow.
“Of course. Why can’t he? After having a taste from each one of us, there’s no way he can’t decide which one he likes the most—”
“So you mean we are his appetizer although he’s the one being tied?”
Sonic looked back at Shadow, whose eyes were glaring daggers.
“Appetizer, huh? You can put it like that if you want.” He turned his look back to Mephiles and Silver. “Sorry Meph, you can continue with Silver—”
“I’m not done talking to you.”
Sonic turned back to Shadow.
“What do you want me to say, Shads? Isn’t everything clear enough?” He asked with an annoyed tone.
“You don’t even ask if Silver is comfortable with all of this.”
“He lost. If he’s uncomfortable with what we are doing to him, then that’s something he must put up with.”
“So you don’t care if something happens to him?”
“I care, Shadow.” Sonic spoke with a serious tone. “But Silver lost. If one of us accidentally did hurt him, then that’s the misfortune he must accept. It’s not like he can’t be treated once we’re done taking turns and it’s not like he’s the only one who will be tied.”
Sonic wanted to say something else, but Jet eventually spoke. “Excuse me? So are we still continuing with this worthless game or not?”
Everyone looked at the unamused hawk.
“I don’t mind if you want to throw tantrums like brats. But I don’t want to stand here and watch you two argue until sunrise.”
Jet was voicing his dissatisfaction, but weirdly enough, the tension in the room somehow melted.
Silver didn’t know what’s exactly happening. He just felt grateful that Mephiles was no longer trying to put his finger in although he still touched his thigh.
As if agreeing with Jet, Espio then said, “Jet was right.”
He looked straight at Sonic. “You said that in this game, we can all take turns to do whatever we want to Silver regardless of the risks…” He hesitated. “But Shadow didn’t seem to like it, as well as Silver.”
Shadow raised his eyebrow, but he didn’t say a word.
“Still, I think it would be better if we heard what Silver said first before trying to do anything.”
“Silver agreed to take part in this game and he lost first. What happens next is something he must accept and agree with. It’s the rule of this game.”
How does that make any sense? But Espio didn’t have the energy to go back-and-forth with Sonic like Shadow did.
“I get it, Sonic. You’re trying to say that whoever’s lost has to let the others do whatever they want. I get that.”
“Good.” Sonic looked at Mephiles again. “Do you want to continue, Meph? Or are you finished? Mister Unhappy here seems to be impatient to be tied next.”
“What did you just say?” Shadow growled.
Mephiles actually still wanted to do stuff to Silver, but he lost whatever desire he had from the bad mood radiating from Shadow. And from Jet’s lack of patience.
“I think I’m done. You can all go next.”
Mephiles actually would like to see Silver having to suck someone’s dick while he’s fucked until cum leaked from his empty hole. It would be a lot better too if there’s a third person riding on top of him or at least putting their mouth inside his dick…
Unfortunately, Sonic made a one-on-one rule only so that scenario would never happen. Unless… Mephiles kidnapped Silver or secretly came into his room and convinced two out of the group to go along with what he wanted, which was even more impossible to do.
He could actually fulfill his fantasy by fingering Silver whilst still closing Silver’s mouth with a kiss, but the poor white hedgehog would faint due to struggling for air so Mephiles didn’t have a choice but to break it off. Still, he found pleasure in Silver’s dazed look and he couldn’t help wanting to know how he would react if he put his fingers deep inside him while his mouth sucked his dick… And then Shadow ruined his attempt by loudly voicing his complaints to Sonic.
Or was it Espio? No. It was definitely Shadow. As to why he didn’t try to go against Sonic… It’s merely because he felt indebted to him—and by instance, Shadow—for willing to pay this expensive villa for all of them to stay for two whole weeks to celebrate Christmas and New Year.
Moreover, Sonic would be very noisy too if something truly happened to Silver—which was why he didn’t just shove his fingers in—and he certainly didn’t want to risk being punched by Shadow.
After Mephiles, Jet went next. He just gave Silver a clumsy kiss once and nothing more. Part of it was because of his beak, but it’s mostly due to his mood had long soured thanks to Shadow starting a fight out of nowhere with Sonic.
Infinite went next. He gave Silver something of a passionate kiss. Silver liked it only because he didn’t feel like Infinite was trying to force himself in like Mephiles did, but perhaps Infinite was just naturally good with kissing.
Silver might only have to lie down and do nothing, but it took a lot of energy just to endure three different kisses… Especially from those he didn’t have any feelings for.
There was a short pause because no one immediately came forward after Infinite, but Sonic then went next. He gave Silver not only an enthusiastic kiss, but he also pinched his muzzle with both hands as if he couldn’t stand how cute and fluffy Silver was under him.
Espio couldn’t help but grab his own arms tighter until they hurt. Unfortunately, Sonic couldn’t see or feel the discomfort from his gaze.
“How long are you going to treat Silver like your doll, hedgehog? Do you forget that there’s others behind you? Hurry up!”
“For fuck’s sake Shads, why are you so impatient? There’s something important you want to do to Silver? Why don’t you go first then if that’s the case? I’m sure the others won’t mind letting you take your time.”
“Whatever. Just hurry up or I’ll kick you out of the way.”
“Okay, fine.” Sonic moved back to where he stood. “What the hell are you angry for, anyway.” He muttered.
Shadow ignored Sonic completely. Either he didn’t hear what Sonic said or he didn’t care. Once Silver was between his knees though, Shadow just looked at him without moving.
Silver could see that there’s a complicated look on Shadow’s eyes… as if he’s trying to tell him that he didn’t want to do it but he had to because that damn blue hedgehog didn’t give him any other choice. His anger from a while ago was also nowhere to be found. Was Shadow trying to comfort him? But it made little sense.
Unlike the kisses before him, Shadow only gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. He then slowly backed off without a word.
“That was quick.” Sonic sounded a bit disappointed. “And here I thought you’re going to do something interesting to Silver.”
“What I want to do to him is none of your business.”
“How about that grumpy mood of yours? It’s not my business either?”
“Can I go next?”
Both hedgehogs looked at Espio whose hand was raised.
“Sure. You’re the last one too. Take your time.” Sonic said politely.
Espio didn’t say anything back. He just walked toward Silver, went down to his knees like the others, and once their faces were close enough, he asked, “Can I do it?”
Silver blinked. It took a minute for him to realize that Espio was asking for his consent.
“Silver, is it okay for me to do it?” Espio asked again, but his tone remained patient. And hesitant too, as if he didn’t want to make Silver feel rushed.
Jet rolled his eyes. Mephiles watched them with a newfound interest. Shadow just stared with a calm look in his eyes. Sonic was confused as to why Espio hadn’t done anything yet, and then there’s Infinite who just felt bored to death that he wished Shadow could provoke Sonic again.
Silver didn’t know what to say, but he nodded a bit.
Seeing no doubts in his eyes, Espio slowly leaned down and kissed his lips. His kiss felt as light as Shadow’s but it lasted longer… and when he’s done, Silver could see that Espio wanted to do it again, but he held himself back.
Wanting Espio to kiss him again, Silver let out his voice after being silent for a long time. “Espio, it’s okay.”
Espio only stared at him.
“You can do it again if you want.” Silver encouraged him gently. Perhaps he forgot that he and Espio were not alone for the time being, but it didn’t matter.
After Silver said those words, Espio tenderly held his face and sealed their lips for real. Unlike before, Silver fully reciprocated his kiss by trying to follow Espio’s tongue as eagerly as he could… which wasn’t hard because Espio was very careful with him.
They broke the kiss a few times, but their lips met again right afterwards. They weren’t sure how long they continued to kiss or how many times they did it until Jet broke the silence.
“Are we going to watch you two kiss now until sunrise? Just how long do I need to stand?”
“Jet… not you too.” Sonic whined. “Espio and Silver were doing it so well… Why do you have to ruin the moment like Shadow did…”
“You’re the one who started it.” Shadow scowled. “You made us play a game with no clear rules. If you’re not satisfied then that’s your own damn fault!”
“It’s just a game, Shads. A game!” Sonic sneered at him. “Why do you have to be so angry just because the game doesn’t suit you? Are you secretly Silver’s boyfriend and feel jealous because we all get a taste of his mouth?”
“You manipulate the game without considering what others feel about it! Why are you even making my concern for him and your own insensitivity like it’s my fuckin’ fault?!”
“Oh? So you do care about Silver. How long have you two been dating?”
“Who’s da—Are you pretending not to understand my words?!”
Shadow went to Sonic and grabbed his collar. But before he could say more, Espio cut in.
“Sonic.”
Ruby and emerald eyes turned to the purple chameleon at the same time.
“I don’t mean to interrupt, but can I untie Silver and bring him into my room? Silver said he wanted to spend the night with me.”
“Oh?” Sonic suddenly felt amused. He then said out loud, “Everyone~! Silver had made the choice to spend the night with Espio! We can continue the game by tying Shadow next!”
Shadow just glared murderously at him. Challenging Sonic to actually do it. Sonic just grinned.
“But it seems like Shadow is angry because his boyfriend is spending the night with someone else, though~” He didn’t lower his voice at all.
“Can’t you say something that makes sense for once?!”
Shadow really wanted to punch Sonic’s smug face, but he only clenched his fist.
“Sonic.”
Another voice came, but it’s from Silver this time. Espio had helped him stand up earlier.
“I’m not Shadow’s boyfriend. I just want you to know that.”
Silver didn’t want Sonic to cause a misunderstanding even if he knew Sonic didn’t really mean what he said.
As Sonic continued to say how Shadow shouldn’t treat Silver like he’s his boyfriend since Silver himself already said so, he suddenly felt Espio’s hand nudged his. He looked at Espio; whose eyes told him that they should go now that they had the chance.
Silver nodded, and then quietly followed Espio upstairs.
“Are you sure you don’t wanna stay? You’re going to miss the fun!” Sonic said, not caring that he’s still in Shadow’s grasp.
“You can continue without us.” Silver replied.
As they went inside Espio’s room, Sonic and Shadow’s voices became distant. Shadow might have landed a punch on Sonic’s face now. If not, then Sonic might’ve somehow freed himself and was now struggling to tie Shadow on the tree trunk because the game was far from over. But once Espio closed the door after he and Silver were inside, none of that mattered anymore.
