Author's P.O.V.
"This thing you put on my neck itches." Manic groaned as he walked in the school.

"Don't touch it." The pink hedgehog lightly glared at her brother. "If you don't want the hickeys to be seen."

"Stop complaining and lets go before we are late!" Sonic grabbed his siblings' hand and quickly dashed to the school and sighed in relief when he barely heard the first bell ring. "We barely made it." He mumbled and let go of his siblings, it was clear he wasn't having a good day and when he wasn't having a good day, he would snap at others and act as if he were at the castle. Though, this time Sonic was trying to remain calm but his expression said otherwise.

"Calm down, Sonic. I told you, we'll find the phone." Sonia lowered her ears. "Did something else happen?" She didn't know what to do to help the azure hedgehog.

Sonic shook his head at this as he began walking to class. "No, I'm just stressed out."

"Okay..." Sonia lowered her ears slightly, worried about her brother.

The azure one kept a straight face as he walked inside the classroom and sat down. He sighed and waited for the teacher to walk in and start class.

Soon after, the ebony hedgehog walked in the classroom with his friends by his side, he glanced at the triplets then sat down on his seat when the teacher walked in.

Sonic looked at Shadow's back and then looked away, he still couldn't believe that he had a crush on him. He wanted to text Fleetway so he could forget about his crush. He knew it was a really bad idea but he didn't care.

"Oh! I just remembered!" Manic gasped as they watched TV, it was evening and the sun was setting. "Scourge said he knows a good bar around here, wanna go?" He looked at his brother. "It's Friday so we don't have to worry about the hangover tomorrow."

"Sure, I need to get my mind off things either way." He finally agreed to go with his brother without complaining.

"Sonic, I'm really worried about you, you're acting very strange." The pink hedgehog looked at her azure brother. "Please tell me what's bothering you."

"Nothing, I'm just stressed out about my phone. That's it." He confessed. "Are we going?" He looked at his brother.

"Yep." Manic chuckled.

"Don't drink too much..." Sonia sighed. "Please."

"Yeah, we won't." Sonic walked outside of the house and waited for Manic to tell him where it was at. "Is it far from here?" He asked.

"Not really, it's like, ten minutes from here." The green hedgehog shrugged.

"What way?" He asked so he could take them there. "Is Scourge going?" He asked since Manic would usually leave him if Scourge was there.

"Yes." Manic chuckled. "I'm not going to get wasted, don't worry about leaving you alone again." He smiled sheepishly.

"Alright." The azure one nodded and grabbed his brothers hand then dashed around looking for the bar. He then stopped once he saw it and let go of his brother.

"Thanks." Manic laughed and walked in the bar, looking for his boyfriend. "I promise you that you'll forget about everything that bothers you immediately.

"We will see about that." He chuckled, he had never gotten drunk before.

When the green one found his boyfriend, he walked to him and sat beside him. "Hey~" He chuckled and kissed his cheek and grabbed his drink from him. "How long were you waiting?"

"Hey babe~" He smirked and tried to grab the drink again but wrapped an arm around his waist and pulled him closer. "I've been here for a while now."

The azure one walked to the other side of the bar and ordered a drink, he didn't like being near Scourge and Manic when they were together.

"Sorry for making you wait." Manic drank from Scourge's drink and gave it back to him. "I completely forgot it's Friday." He chuckled. "All the weekdays are the same."

The barista gave the azure hedgehog his drink. He quickly drank it not caring about it and ordered another one.

"It's fine, Blue is drinking already." The older one pointed at the Prince on the other side of the bar. "Is he okay?"

Manic saw his brother and sighed. "I don't know. He told me he has a crush on someone but he doesn't tell me who." He ordered a drink. "He's been like this since the first day we got here."

The older one nodded. "Just let him then, that'll help him forget." He looked back at his boyfriend and smirked then looked at him up and down and leaned closer to his face then kissed him before Manic could stop him.

The smaller hedgehog gasped and lightly blushed since the place was crowded, but he couldn't hold back so he kissed back then punched him on the stomach after a bit to make him pull away.

This made the other gasped and pulled away. "Hey!" He coughed lightly. "What was that?" He glared lightly at his boyfriend.

"The place is full, you want me to get you laid?" Manic rolled his eyes and grabbed his drink. "And I can taste the cigarettes."

"Fine." He rolled his eyes and ordered another drink.

Meanwhile, the azure one was already getting slightly drunk.

Someone was looking at the azure Prince from the corner of the room, a wide smirk on their face as he watched him get wasted.

After a few hours of the older one trying to convince his boyfriend to leave. They were finally both drunk enough to go home. Completely forgetting about the azure one who was already more drunk than the thieves.

"Hello Sonic~" A male hedgehog walked to the aure one and held his shoulder. "Looks like they left you alone~"

"He always does..." The azure one mumbled and hiccuped. He turned around and looked at the male. "Hey~ I know you~"

"How about you come to my place~? I can take you home tomorrow~" The hedgehog leaned in close to Sonic's face.

"No~ I d-don't like you... I c-can't like you..." The azure one mumbled again and finished his drink.

"You can't?" The male chuckled. "Who told you that?" He put his hand on the smaller one's muzzle and made him look at him.

This made the azure one blush and drop his ears. "I know... I know what you... w-want... T-that's why..."

"Isn't that what everyone wants?" The male hummed. "I know you want it too." He smirked when he the blush.

"I-I..." Sonic stuttered.

"Come on~ I promise I won't tell anyone~"

Sonic was drunk, not realizing the moment he agreed to go with the other one. But he knew that this wasn't going to end well.

The next morning, the azure Prince woke up to the sun shining from the window, he groaned quietly and hid his face in what was in his arms. It was extremely fluffy, warm and soft, he didn't want to pull his face away from it.

Suddenly, he heard a very familiar ringtone, the one he always had for when his family called him. His ears perked up at hearing this and he looked up then groaned since he had a hangover. He looked at the one that was in his arms and he madly blushed and gasped once he realized what had happened.

He looked around with his ears pinned down from being sore until he saw his phone. He grabbed it and looked back at the ebony one shocked and hurt.

Shadow was awake, smirking at the azure hedgehog. "What's wrong~?" He chuckled. "I didn't tell anyone. Yet~" He had his hands under his head as he laid down.

"Y-you..." He kept his ears pinned down. "You knew... a-all this time...?"

"I knew when I found your phone." The ebony hedgehog sat up. "I was about to tell everyone that our future King will be a coward that can't stand up for himself, when I realized that that would ruin your life." He quickly grabbed Sonic's wrist, his movement was a fast a his. "So I'm willing to make an agreement."

Sonic gasped and looked at him. "W-what is it...?"

"You come to my place and do what I say, without saying anyone about us." Shadow smirked. "And I'll keep your secret a secret."

The azure prince stayed quiet for a second, he knew he had to agree since he couldn't let anyone know about his siblings and him. He looked down with his ears pinned down and slowly nodded.

"Good choice~"
