Work Text:
On a regular day in their relationship, Shadow never showed much of a reaction towards Amy no matter what she did nor did he express a lot of his emotions towards her. It wasn’t that he didn’t care or love her, but it was almost like he spoke a different language of love to her, and was still in the process of learning how to make her understand. Even when they held hands on a date or kissed, Amy was always the one to get red faced and shy afterwards, nervous about getting so intimate with such an attractive individual. Juxtaposing this, Shadow always appeared calm and collected as if he had done this a million times before and was unaffected by such insignificant actions. Although it did work in his favor to make him look cool and experienced, it also made Amy feel like she was the only one experiencing the emotions and turmoil of love in their relationship.
After her previous experience with the blue hedgehog, the pink had grown a bit insecure regarding her interactions with her love interests; she became wary that they were going to run away if she acted too clingy or physically affectionate. As a result, she tried to limit as much of her affectionate side as possible from Shadow in order to preserve their relationship, and focused on simply just accepting the physical touch that he initiated. It was nowhere near enough to satiate how she felt towards him but she put up with it- convinced that this was the only way to keep Shadow around her.
Of course, from the black hedgehog’s perspective, seeing the normally highly affectionate and love professing Amy refuse to do anything towards him in contrast to Sonic made him feel uneasy and as much as he hated to admit it, insecure as well. He acknowledged that she had never rejected him either verbally nor physically, but she also never went out of her way to show him any form of physical affection ever since their relationship started. Shadow started to wonder a lot of things, like how maybe he just didn’t seem as approachable as the blue hedgehog or that perhaps she grew out of it with time. However, watching her as she continued to run up to and embrace her friends with a smile affirmed to him that that part of her hadn’t changed at all, and that it was just him that she was acting this way towards.
During one particular date, the two of them thought about their situation with one another as they held their hands and their brain cells had come to the same conclusion simultaneously:
“Does he/she like me at all?”
Meanwhile in the distance, a certain batwoman was observing the situation at hand with a very peculiar smirk on her face while playing around with something shiny in her hands.
>>>
“Ah Rouge… I just can’t tell what Mister Shadow feels towards me at all…” Amy tells her.
She had gone to Rouge’s place to seek some advice on her relationship with Shadow after they had been dating for a few weeks, and despite being official, Amy still had doubts about his feelings. She didn’t want to feel this way, deep down she trusted that Shadow would only ever do something that he wanted to, but as he was a hedgehog of few words and expressions, there’s only so much that Amy can interpret.
“Oh hun, if you want him to react so badly why don’t you just be a little more forward?” Rouge asked her as she cleaned up the wine glasses. “You used to do that all the time with the blue one.”
Water glassed over Amy’s eyes slightly as she remembered her old self towards Sonic: full of love, hopeful and excited everytime that she saw him. Truthfully, deep down, she wanted nothing more than to cling onto her handsome boyfriend’s arm, tell him that she loved him everyday and bake cookies for him but her adult heart was no longer as naive as it was before. She was afraid that if she had tried to run up to the black hedgehog and ambush him with a hug then he would immediately teleport away and she would have to act understanding towards him, and hold back her tears as she did so. In the end, she chose to not show anything at all, aside from affirming the fact that she did indeed, want to be with Shadow.
“Exactly…” She responded to the bat. “And that didn’t turn out well, so I’m going to learn from my past and not do that again. I don’t want the result to be the same.”
Rouge gave her a look with a sad expression on her face and quietly sighed at the poor thing. The bat was really happy to see two of her friends get together, but it pained her to see them like this; especially considering she had a good idea of how Shadow feels as well… She goes to her room and opens a secret compartment in one of her drawers, taking out a small vial that looked a lot like a perfume bottle with a little spray nozzle on it. Rouge flew back out to where Amy was and landed in front of her, holding the vial firmly in her hands and out in front of her.
“I’m going to give you this.” Rouge tells Amy. “I stole it from one of my extravagant adventures. I was planning to use it on my dear Knuckles but…Let’s just say he doesn’t need it anymore.”
The bat places the vial gently into the pink hedgehog’s hands and she observes it with such a curiosity sparkling in her emerald eyes. She turns and moves it around slightly, watching as the mystical liquid moves and splashes inside of the mysterious bottle.
“What is it?” The younger one asked.
Rouge gives her a playful smirk and leans down to face her directly.
“A love potion.” She answered. “It’s made from a special type of pollen. I guarantee you that it’ll help you with the little problem that you have with Shads. Use it in private.”
“A love potion?” Amy questioned. “If something like this existed in the first place why wasn’t I aware of it years ago? Would have saved me a lot of heartache.”
“Well… Actually, ‘love potion’ is a bit of a strong word. It won’t work if they aren’t attracted to you.” Rouge explained. “Let’s just say it helps make the other person a bit more…Honest.”
“Oh I see… Do me and Mister Shadow really need something like this though? Maybe I should just talk to him...”
“Shhhh Hun. You’ve already gone through so much. Trust me on this, just try it out and you’ll have all the time in the world to talk afterwards.” The bat says back to her. “Just one puff should be more than enough.”
Holding the vial with a pensive expression on her face, Amy discreetly puts it into her handbag and makes a mental note to ask Shadow about it later.
“Thanks Rouge. It really means a lot to me that you’re helping me out.” Amy tells her with genuine appreciation.
“Of course. Anything for a dear friend.” Rouge tells her with a wink.
Her wings fluttered in anticipation, keen to hear from Amy again after she uses the vial on Shadow.
>>>
After helping clean up the plates from dinner, Amy gets a little quiet and spaces out for a bit as she dries the dishes that Shadow cleans and she places them neatly on the rack. Her mind wanders to the vial that she had contained in her handbag, and she thought about how she was going to use it on Shadow. Should she pretend that it’s a cologne? She immediately shook her thoughts away, and told herself that if she was going to use it on him, it would be under his discretion and consent.
“What’s wrong?” The black hedgehog asked, drying his hands. “You’ve gone quiet all of a sudden.”
“Oh…Erm…” Amy stuttered. “Can we head to your room? I want to talk to you about something.”
Shadow gave her a look and she sensed an air of tension around him. She immediately felt bad about wording it the way that she did and regrets making it sound so serious.
“Sure.” He replies.
The two of them head to Shadow’s room, which looked as modernistic and clean as the last time Amy had seen it. The majority of the room was either black or a geometric shape, which suited Shadow since he preferred things to be either edgy or plain and simple. There was some red in the room to match his aesthetic on the bed sheets and on a few miscellaneous items, but the hedgehog preferred to limit the amount of red as he didn’t like to acknowledge his association with the black arms. It distracted him from the comfort of normalcy. Amy sat down on his bed with her handbag and Shadow sat down beside her, his expression on the softer side than usual.
“What’s wrong?” Shadow asked her.
A million words juggled up in Amy's mind and she tried to find the right ones to say. She knew how she felt and why she felt the way that she did, but she needed to find a way to explain it so that Shadow could understand her. She wanted him to see where she was coming from and not make it seem like this was a fault from him as much as needed from her in the relationship.
“Mister Shadow…How should I say this…” Amy started, hesitating. She turned her body around to face him directly.
“I’ve told you already- drop the ‘Mister’. You can just call me Shadow, Amy.”
“Sorry, just an old habit.” She says with a smile. “You’ve always been Mister Shadow to me. Always the older and wiser one of the group that needed a bit more respect.”
“I don’t desire for there to be a power imbalance between us.“ He explains to her. “However if that’s what you want to call me then I don’t mind. But please, go on.”
“Yeah so… ” Amy mutters. “I know that you're not an expressive hedgehog, and I do see that you show me that you care in your own way. But it’s just, I wished you showed how you felt a bit more so that I could be less insecure in our relationship.”
The last sentence was a bit difficult for Amy to say out loud and she can feel it making her a bit emotional as she said it. Shadow could tell that she was becoming upset as she said it and he shuffled closer to her. He placed his hand onto hers, and their fingers locked as he did.
“Amy. I’m sorry that I made you feel this way. I didn’t have a lot of opportunities to learn how to express myself going from being a science experiment to working for G.U.N. But I want you to know that I do love you even if I don’t show it the same way as you do.” Shadow started, tightening his grip on her hand. “I will do my best to show you more in the future. That being said though, I could also say the same for you.”
Amy gulped and started sweating nervously.
“What do you mean by that?” She asked him, pressing for details.
“I’ve seen how you act around Sonic.” Shadow tells her. “You used to tell him you loved him all the time, cling onto him and go out of your way to do things for him. You would run from the moon and back just for him.”
“Ahhhh hearing this is so embarrassing!” The pink hedgehog exclaimed as she cringed internally. “But please continue.”
“But when it comes to me,” Shadow went on, his expression becoming softer as he does. “I’ve noticed that you don’t do any of that for me. And it’s not that I expect you to, you were a child back then and didn’t know better, but I also know that you’re a really affectionate person and the fact that you don’t show any of it to me makes me feel…Unwanted.”
“Oh Mister Shadow,” Amy says as she pulls him in for a hug. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make it seem that way to you. I really do love you. It’s just that..It’s like what you said, I did all of those things for Sonic but in the end he never liked me back. So naturally I got scared that if I acted the same way towards you then you’d run away from me too.”
“I would never run away from you, my Rose.” Shadow tells her as he rests his neck in the crook of her neck. “All the love you want to show me, I’ll accept all of it. And I’ll give it all to you back.”
Tears of relief fell from Amy’s eyes as soon as she heard that from Shadow and he wiped them away from her eyes with his thumb. He pulls her in, and they kiss gently a few times, until Amy eventually pulls away for a moment, remembering what Rouge had given her. She takes it out from her bag.
“Actually, I was recommended this by Rouge.” Amy explained as she held it up to him. “I went to her for some advice and she said that this would help. Apparently it’s some type of love potion made of special pollen.”
Shadow cocks his head at her.
“Do you still doubt my feelings for you?” He questioned her.
“Oh nonono it’s not like that.” Amy stumbled. “That’s just how she described it. She said it would only work if they were already attracted to you, and she told me she was thinking of using it on Knuckles so I assumed that it would be safe. It’s okay if you don’t want to!”
He chuckled.
“Okay, let’s try it. Can’t say it’ll affect me though. In more ways than one.” Shadow tells her.
Amy held up the bottle and pointed it at Shadow, pressing the spray once and letting the shiny mist cloud around Shadow’s face. In the process of doing this, Amy got a second hand whiff of the scent and it had a succulent and sweet floral smell around it. The more she inhaled the more she felt her mind become hazy, like the mental blocks in her mind that stopped her from doing or saying certain things on impulse were slowly pushing away. Amy noticed that Shadow had not moved an inch since she had sprayed it.
“Mister Shadow?” Amy asked. “Are you okay?”
As the majority of the scent diffused into the air, Amy moved closer to him and noticed that on top of his whole face being redder than a beetroot, he was also panting quite heavily. His hands were clenched tightly into fists, and his eyes seemed off… Dazed almost, as they were locked securely onto the pink hedgehog before him. He scanned her quite intently as she approached him, and she noticed this.
“Mister…Shadow?” Amy called again.
His breath shaky, Shadow took in a deep breath.
“Amy… I don’t think that’s a ‘love potion’.” Shadow managed to mutter. “I think that’s meant to put animals into heat.”
Eyes wide, Amy reads the fine print on the bottle and confirmed that, Shadow was indeed correct, and that she had just used sex pollen on him. She immediately tries to put it away, but because of the bottle’s thin shape it slips from her fingers and smashes onto the floor, releasing yet even more of that intoxicating odor in Shadow’s direction. As Amy inhaled more of it, the more her mind got numb. Unable to think about anything except the male hedgehog in the room alone with her, it took all of her sanity to try and keep it together and not jump him despite her pussy aching for it. She quickly chucked the shattered bottle out of harm's way and went back to Shadow.
Yeah, he was completely out of it. And so was she.
Entranced by the sight of him, she reached her hand out and pulled up his chin, admiring his completely heated and dazed expression at her. He looked so vulnerable and needy, unlike the usual Shadow that was normally aloof and distant from everyone around him. His breath was hot, and his eyes ever completely fixated on her as if his pupils had turned into the shape of hearts. He grabbed her hand and grazed his tongue over them, lubricating her digits as if he were preparing them for something and she watched keenly as she felt the wet warmth on her fingertips. Her eyes drifted downward in between his legs, where she noticed that he was fully erect and leaking eagerly.
“Amy…Hah…Please touch me…” Shadow groaned.
He pulled her hand to his cock and when she felt just how hard he was, her face reddened after being so openly welcomed into such a personal place. She had never touched Shadow like this before, since they haven’t done anything beyond kissing thus far, but touching him like this just made her realize how much of him she had been missing out on. She slowly grazed her fingers up from the base of his cock to the tip, feeling the stickiness of his pre cum come into contact with her fingers. Watching Shadow react to everything that she did, Rouge’s comment about the pollen making someone more “honest” came into her mind, and she decided to test that.
“Have you ever thought about doing something like this with me before?” Amy asked curiously, ceasing her touch for a brief moment.
Shadow breathed heavily like he was about to lose his mind if he didn’t remember to catch his breath every minute or so. It took every part of him to restrain himself from thrust his hips into her hand just for any feeling of contact on his dick, but he pulled it together and thought up the answer to her question.
“Of course, all the time.” He confesses.
She strategically slides her hand up his dick a few times, extremely slowly, using his saliva and precum as a lubricant to ease her movement. He’s responding well, moaning and letting out puf of his hot breath everything that he could feel her more and getting turned on just by the thought of her jerking him off alone.
“What kinds of things do you think about?” She pressed, eager to know more about the unsaid filthy thoughts that filled his mind.
“Ah… I think about you touching me. And having my cock inside of you. Breeding you. Making you mine inside and out.” Shadow answered her without having to think.
“I see…” Amy responded, pleased with his answer.
With a smug smile on her face, Amy starts to wrap her fingers around Shadow’s cock and stroke it in a rhythmic manner. As she gently touches him and plays with his tip, she watches as Shadow is completely entranced by her touches and moans loudly as she continues. Moving her hands in a consistent motion appeared to not be enough friction for the black hedgehog as he continually started to move his hips and grind further into the grasp of her hand, panting harder as he did so. But Amy was patient, and deeply intoxicated by the sex pollen that she yearned to see more of his needy expression as whimpered for more under his breath.
Amy was seeing a new side of Shadow, a side of him that appeared to be so helplessly honest and unable to resist every little amount of touch that she gave him. Being up close to him, she could tell how much he smelt of pollen and sweat all over his fur, and how much he was under the influence of the ‘love potion’. Amy herself was completely red faced and entranced by the sight of Shadow losing himself to her hand alone, staring down at her body as he watched her move. His right hand glided up the curve of her back and he reached for the zipper of her dress, pulling it down in a swift movement and unwrapping her body from the cloth. Amy pulls her hand away and lets the top half of her dress slide down her shoulders and sit around her waist, revealing herself in her underwear to Shadow as she stared at him with downcast eyes.
“Oh…” Shadow muttered with a blush across his face. “I’ve…I’ve never seen you like this before.”
It appeared to be a genuine reaction, one that came from deep inside of him and was unclouded by the pollen. Amy started to act like herself a bit more due to his honesty, and started to get a bit embarrassed in the moment. However in doing so, she ended up inhaling more of the pollen from him and her mind wavered again, increasing her lust as well as his as their bodies yearned for one another.
“You know…I’ve thought about you a lot too, Shadow.” Amy tells him, crouching closer, allowing him to have a clearer view of her bare chest. “I’ve always wondered about what you could do to me with that body of yours.”
Then, as if to make a point, she gently tapped the tip of his cock and made his body shake with tension as she refused to do anything more than that. Her emerald eyes met with his ruby ones, making an expression that clearly looked like an invitation to Shadow and that was more than enough for him. With both of their reproductive organs aching for some contact, Shadow immediately loses all of his inhibitions as soon as he knew that she was willing and tears off her clothes. He starts by unclipping her bra and throwing it across the bed, then slides the rest of her dress off from her thighs but stops at her underwear for a brief moment to look at her. The female gives him a dazed nod, and without thinking any further he lets it slip all the way down her legs and off of her feet.
“Mister Shadow…I really want to feel you inside of me…” She whispers into him, making his ears twitch at the words. “I won’t be satisfied until I’ve felt every inch of you.”
She opened her thighs apart slightly, a command for him to touch her, which he gladly accepts. He slid his middle finger in between her intimate petals and watched her breathing hitch as he did so. As his finger finger rubbed and created friction on her delicate clit, Amy starts to moan in response to his touches. Curious as to how the inside of her felt, Shadow dug his finger inside of her slowly, immediately realizing just how wet she was this whole time. He pulled his digit out from her, and a trail of mucus from her followed him, sticking in between his fingers with a glimmering shine.
He grabbed her waist and lifted her on top of him, their eyes locking with one another directly as they both pant from the heat that they were in. Amy could feel his leaking hard cock pressing against her stomach, practically begging to be inside of her wet hole as she sat on his lap. She leaned closer to him and threw her arms around his neck, locking their mouths together and allowing their tongues to wrap and dance with one another. They both kissed one another in a passionate and impatient passion, with Amy grinding her clit against Shadow and him doing the same with his cock to feel any sort of temporary relief for their pulsating bodies. They seperated briefly to breathe for a moment, and then immediately locked into one another again. Shadow’s hands rubbed up Amy’s back and trailed down to gently caress one of her breasts, causing a vibrating moan from her lips in the process. Likewise, she let her hands wander down and ran her fingers through his soft, white fur in order to feel his sturdy chest. His heartbeat thumped against his ribcage hard enough that she could feel the rhythm of his heart through her fingertips. They pulled away from their kiss, saliva and drool dripping from their lips.
“Hah..Ha…” Shadow breathed heavily.
Unable to wait anymore, he lifted her body up and she supported his movement by repositioning herself. He rubbed his cock at her entrance a few times, massaging her clit a few times while anticipating the warm pocket of her vagina. Amy gave Shadow one last mischievous smile, and lowered her body in a swift motion, slipping his whole cock into her and filling her up in one go. Shadow moaned loudly feeling the tight warmth around his dick he had been craving and Amy reacted similarly to finally having him inside of her. She moved her body up and started to ride his cock, creating a satisfying and pleasurable pattern as she rubbed his tip inside of her in the right spots. Shadow groaned every time he felt his cock being squeezed and rubbed against her insides, incredibly aroused by the sight of the pink hedgehog enjoying herself on his dick like it’s a playtoy and moaning his name.
He pulled her body even closer to his and felt his dick harden even more intensely as her breasts pressed against his chest. Everything was just so overstimulating for him: The sight of his girlfriend being incredibly erotic as she pleasured herself on top of him, the feeling of her breasts against him, and god, how good and snug his cock felt inside of her and spreading her apart. His breathing started to change and something activated in his brain that prompted him to grab onto her hips and start thrusting in her aggressively.
“AH…Ah…Mister Shadow…!” Amy moaned as she felt him move so intensely inside of her.
“I’m close…!” Shadow grunted as he continued to thrust inside of her.
In one last moment in their cacophony of erotic sounds, Shadow grabbed onto her ass and thrusted into her one last time and poured all of his cum inside of her, fillling her up completely. Amy stared at him with a lust filled expression as a warm feeling filled up her womb and watched as Shadow’s body gradually relaxed as he came. As soon as he finished she slowly pulled herself off of him and watched as the semen mixed with her juices poured out of her and dripped onto the bed. She looked around for some tissues to clean it up, but Shadow stopped her.
“It’s fine, I’ll clean it up later.” He huffed.
“Oh, thanks, sorry about the mess.” Amy responded.
As Amy watched Shadow calm down, still affected by the pollen, she felt her pussy clench, asking for more even though the act itself was over. Not having Shadow inside of her made her feel empty, and she continued to crave for him since she’d never felt this sort of intimacy with him before. Discreetly, she reached her hand down to her clit as she watched him and glanced down at his cock, which was inside of her just a moment ago and started to touch herself. She moaned quietly as she began to satisfy her arousal, until a hand reached out and stopped her.
“What are you doing?” Shadow asked her. “Why didn’t you just ask me to help you?”
“I…Erm…” Amy stuttered, embarrassed. “I didn’t know how to, I guess.”
Shadow gave her an unimpressed look.
“Lie down.” He commanded her. “On your front with your butt in the air.”
She did as he told her too and laid down in a comfortable position with her chest pressed against the mattress and her head dug into a pillow that smelt like Shadow. She subconsciously pressed her thighs together in embarrassment, since the residue of fluid was still leaking from her body and onto the mattress but Shadow forced them apart. He began to rub his finger in between her and directly onto her clit, which gained a moan from her the more he touched her. She shook her hips a bit, attempting to increase the friction, but Shadow continued to touch her at a steady rate.
“So hot, my beautiful Rose.” Shadow started as he continued to rub her. “You have no idea how much it turns me on to see you like this.”
“Mhmm…” Amy moaned, trying to hide her shy face in the pillow.
“I know I don’t always show it openly, but I’m always thinking about you. Obsessively, in fact.”
“Wh- AH!”
Before Amy could ask anything else, Shadow cuts her off by pushing a finger inside of her and rubbing it at a particular spot inside of her, imitating where his cock would go. She begins to pant helplessly at the feeling of his finger inside of her, and he takes it up a notch by using his other hand to continue stimulating her clitorus.
“You probably think I’m calm and collected because that's what I want you to think. I don’t want you to think of me as someone weak and unable to protect you. I always wanted you to see me as the cool ‘Mister Shadow’ you’ve always known me as.”
“Ahhh…hah… I’m…Close…” Amy moans as she holds onto the pillow tightly, panting at Shadow's touch.
“But you know…” Shadow continues, filling her up with another finger and causing her to moan loudly. “I quite enjoy this. It is quite…Liberating. Being able to lose myself to you and showing you just how much I want you deep down.”
Shadow increases the pace of his fingers inside of her and creates friction in just the right places that causes Amy to curve her back and pant intensely, bringing her over the edge. Her tail wagged fiercely, enjoying the moment and losing her mind with the pollen inflicted onto her as she experienced her orgasm from Shadow. When she was done her body collapsed onto the sheets, and Shadow pulled his fingers out from her, her wetness completely damping his skin. He laid down next to her and she snuggled closer, allowing them to cuddle one another in bed.
“That’s the first time I’ve ever heard you be so honest…” Amy started. “It feels so surreal.”
He grabbed her hand and held it tightly as they laid next to each other.
“And I’ll continue to do so, not under influence this time.” He stated firmly. “However, I’m going to have a word with Rouge later about this.”
Amy laughed nervously and hoped mentally that Shadow would go easy on her since she did help them. Even as the smell of the pollen started to dissipate from the room and the two of them began to sober off, Amy couldn’t help but notice that Shadow continued to blush as he stared at her with a smile on his face. His tail wagged at the sight of her, and he leaned in closer, causing their foreheads to come into contact. His mouth moved to say something and within that moment, Amy felt like time had stopped and her heart had finally gotten what it had been searching for so long from Shadow.
“I love you.”
And then she smiled like she had never had before, and tears of relief dripped from her eyes. Those words alone had awoken her inner child, and she gushed as she clung onto Shadow excitedly and hugged him like she had finally allowed herself to. Her arms were completely around him, and he returned the favor, wrapping his arms around her.
“I love you too!”
