Charles--or Chuck, depending on how familiar he was to people--never thought he'd see the day he could say he found a man in his life. Countless first dates that never went to a second, hookups that never bloomed romance... It was hard, living on the lonely island. No words from his brother Arvid either, to give him encouragement... Even trying online dating never scored him much. That was until the day he saw someone he hadn't seen in almost two decades... his nephews. It had been such a shock, seeing Tiberius come to his door, along with the legendary Sonic. He'd thought, perhaps, maybe his orange relative had a boyfriend... But little could prepare him when Sonic addressed him as 'Uncle.' Little Ogilvie, who he hadn't even gotten to meet, was his own nephew... But it seemed that lack of connection was enough to spark something... greater. He'd learned Sonic was all about 'fun with friends and family,' and it wasn't long before he felt what Sonic was capable of behind closed doors. From there it only grew. Hands intertwined, bare feet rubbing over his--having gotten rid of his shoes at the others' behest--and a mix of loving and feisty that had his knees weak. And that heroic personality, always putting his life on the line for what he thought was right, no matter what others said. Independent, strong, stubborn... things he all liked in a guy. Then came Alana, a little girl that was actually Sonic's own clone, made by Eggman, and now his daughter... But when Sonic popped out a ring, his world felt complete. Who cared what the prudish humans thought of it; their island allowed such things. It was his chance to pull out the old disco tuxedo as well, and a wonderful outdoor ceremony so they could be barefoot together. Finally, after years, he could proudly say he had a husband, and probably the best husband possible. |
