Flashback
It was late at night and Sonic was just getting off of work. He worked at a 24 hour pharmacy and his shift had just ended. He yawned as he made his way down the street, his house only a few blocks down the road.
The only problem is that he didn't like it when his boss had him working the night shift because not only was he NOT a night person, but there were all kinds of crooks and thugs lurking around in the shadows. Plus, he'd heard that some people get snatched up at night and are found days later.... Having been raped and killed.
He shuddered at the thought and quietly picked up his pace.
His ears perked when he heard a sonic boom come from somewhere behind him, he didn't even need to turn round as a green blur shot past him, almost knocking him over.
"Hey, watch it!!" He shouted to whoever that was. He thought only he could move that fast.
“Sorry Blue!” came the reply, the green blur stopping suddenly revealing the troublemaker to be someone who Sonic really didn't want to see.
"Scourge?!" He said in disbelief. He hadn't seen his opposite in years!
“Hi Blue, miss me?” said male smirked, crossing his arms as he lit a cigarette.
Sonic scoffed. "As if. What are you doing here, anyways? " he wondered. "I thought you were in jail..."
“I was.” Scourge said, blowing out a large puff of smoke. “But I'm out of the clink early for good behaviour.”
"You? On good behaviour?" Sonic said, not buying it. "Ha, don't make me laugh."
“I'm not trying to make you laugh Blue.” Scourge glared. “If you try and live in that god-damned prison for as long as I have, you'll understand why I decided to try and get out early by being good and not escaping like I tried before!” he shivered.
"So, you really have changed." Sonic realized even though it was still hard to believe. And then he remembered.
"But that still doesn't explain why you're here, in my dimension, of all places." he stated.
"I have a house in this dimension Blue." The emerald male explained, throwing his cigarette into the ground and stepping on it.
"You plan on living here?!" Sonic near shouted.
'Oh, great.' he groaned in annoyance.
"What's wrong with me living here?" Scourge asked, raising a brow.
"Nothing." blue sighed. "I just thought that opposites were supposed to live in different places...."
Scourge smirked. "Didn't you hear the news? Apparently opposites attract." He then walked closer to the other and leant in close to his ear, whispering. "If I was you, I get home quick Blue. There's someone on your tail."
Sonic tensed when the other had come too close for comfort, thinking Scourge might hurt him.
But he had to hide a blush that wanted to show up when he whispered in his ear. He then blinked at what he'd said and quickly looked behind himself, seeing no one.
"Goodnight, Scourge." Sonic said, stepping away from the other, seemingly annoyed at him. He then continued his way on down the street.
Green watched him leave. "He doesn't believe me..."
Sonic sighed once Scourge was out of sight, pulling his coat tighter around his body to block out the wind as he walked.
Scourge's ear perked when he heard rustling behind him. "Sonic." He called out before running off in the direction the other went.
Sonic hadn't heard him and simply continued walking.
His ear perked again when he heard the sonic boom from the other behind him, though he didn't pay much attention.
However, he yelped in shock as he was suddenly scooped up into Scourge's arms.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" The (unknown) uke screeched, fighting back a blush. "PUT ME DOWN!!!!"
“No, because I'm saving your ass.” Green said as he kept running.
"Saving me from who?!" the speed demon demanded.
“Don't tell me you've not heard the rumours.” his opposite said as he raised a brow.
"Of people getting kidnapped, raped, and killed?" Sonic asked before scoffing. "Puh-lease, I can take care of myself...."
"That's what you think. But the people that are doing all that are Convicts just like me." Scourge explained.
"Why am I not surprised?" He sighed. "Now, put me down!!"
But, before he knew it, they were already in front of his house. The blue male grumbled as Scourge finally put him down.
“You're welcome.” green said as he walked away from the other.
Sonic sighed and called out. "Thanks....I guess."
Green gave a small wave to the other before zipping off down the road. Sonic then made his way inside, making sure to lock his door. He sighed heavily, he wasn't expecting to see Scourge, nor did he want to see him. He just couldn't help but wonder exactly who it was that'd been after him right before Scourge came along. Sonic blinked, maybe there wasn't somebody after him but it was just Scourge messing around; then again, Scourge isn't the type of person to mess around. The blue male peeked out his bedroom window, glancing up and down the road to see if there was anyone lurking about. But, fortunately, he didn't see anyone....
So, he quickly shut his curtains and decided to take a quick shower. He knew that'd help him relax if nothing else could. And as his fur became soaked from the refreshing shower water, he couldn't help but think back to suddenly being in Scourge's arms. It brought an instant blush to his face.
Maybe opposites did attract after all...
He blushed deeper at that thought, did this mean he liked Scourge? Was he gay? No, he couldn't be. He then decided to simply let the confusing thoughts be, he needed some sleep. So, after drying off and grooming his quills, the small male curled up beneath his cool covers, a sleepy purr escaping as he did so.
Meanwhile with Scourge, the emerald male was trying to get the power back to his house, the electricity being cut off as he had been in jail for so long. Then, with a few devices and a treadmill, he had made his own home-made generator. The treadmill was hooked up to some car batteries, which were then hooked up to his main power grid.
Now, all he had to do was have a quick run to get everything going.
So, after going about 2 minutes at the near speed of sound, he had charged up his own generator to have his house able to run on electricity for the next year.
He smirked smugly. His speed was awesome.
Once he'd got power back, he flopped down on the couch, turning on the telly and flipping through the channels. His stomach growled after a while, but he didn't move; if there was anything in the fridge it would've gone off by now. He'd just go buy some food tomorrow. Besides, he was tired... He turned off the telly and got up before he headed to his bedroom, flicking off all the lights as he went. Soon, he undressed down to only his black boxers and he hopped into bed, quickly snuggling down under the covers and drifting off to sleep.
It felt good to be home.
And unknowingly, both males ended up dreaming about one another.
