Ok, sorry this took so long, I've been busy, but here is what may possibly be, the very last chapter of Broken Hero, so without further ado, the story.

DISCALIMER - I DON'T OWN ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY

Well, that's one thing I won't miss, but don't worry, the next story will come soon. J

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The two hedgehogs spent the whole day together, first they finished up at the café then they roamed the city, popping in to a few estate agencies on the way. They found a few houses they liked, but Sonic's favourite was a Japanese one on the outskirts of the city, it was pretty, secluded, and it even had sliding screen doors! After roaming the city a bit longer they came across a hotel not too far from Rouge's place, which was convenient if they wanted to visit her sometime.

They both collapsed on the sofa, it had been a long day, but it all seemed a blur with a few areas on coherency, but most of the time they were too busy focusing on each other's company, it was the first time for a long while the two had been together without having to worry about something or other, and it was bliss.

The room cost a lot, but Sonic being who he was, money was no object, so they got a suite on the highest level, very cushy, and with a spectacular view, even better than the one they had grown accustomed to at Rouge's place. They took a moment to admire it, the sun was setting over the sea, and it cast the most beautiful shades of orange, red and pink over the sapphire waves as night inched closer.

Sonic shuffled over to Shadow and leaned his head on his shoulder and smiled contentedly. Shadow wrapped his arms round his azure counterpart and rested his own head on his. The room had a curved edge to it, the curved wall covered completely by large windows which gave the perfect view of the setting sun, and as the last few rays of it set beneath the horizon, they watched mesmerised, and the night finally took hold and the stars began to twinkle in the dark blanket of the night sky.

'So beautiful,' thought Sonic, 'and I'm not one to get sentimental over things.' They slowly rose from their comfy embrace, there was no rush, no worry, tonight they could just relax, and the feeling of total ease fell over the two.

"Beautiful huh?" Sonic broke the silence, Shadow nodded in agreement.

"Yeah."

"Funny," Sonic said, "usually I wouldn't look twice at a sunset." Shadow smiled.

"Neither would I, but it's different when you're here to watch it with me." Sonic pecked him on the lips.

"I'd say the same for you," they kissed again, but deeper, as Shadow pulled Sonic towards him, and the cerulean hedgehog wrapped his arms around the other's shoulders. Their tongues battled inside each other's mouths as they swapped saliva and leaned in closer to each other. Shadow rubbed Sonic's chest, making the blue hedgehog shudder from the contact and moan quietly as the kiss deepened even more.

They pulled apart for breath and looked into each other's eyes, longing emerald met wanting ruby. They sat for a while until Sonic finally whispered the words Shadow wanted to hear.

"Please, I want you, now." The words were spoken so softly, Shadow could barely hear them, but when he did, he looked at Sonic in doubt.

"You're sure?" Sonic nodded.

"Yes," the blue hedgehog pulled him back into another kiss. Shadow drew back and took Sonic's hand, taking him to the bedroom, where a big, comfortable bed with rosy red velvet quilts lay in wait for them. Shadow gently pushed Sonic onto its softness, making sure his head hit the pillow, then joining him, pulling off his gloves, bracelets and shoes. He took off Sonic's gloves and shoes then joined their lips together again as his hand rubbed the blue hedgehog's chest again making his azure counterpart moan.

Shadow took his lips away from Sonic's sweet ones, kissing lightly across his muzzle then nipping the skin of his neck softly making Sonic moan again. Sonic held onto Shadow's shoulders as he continued nibbling and kissing the blue fur on his collarbone, he could feel his body beginning to warm up with a welcome heat as Shadow moved his lips lower to kiss his chest.

Sonic gasped as he felt a hand rubbing his crotch, and he closed his eyes and arched his back at the feeling, moaning loudly as Shadow began to rub his crotch, making Sonic's cock slowly stiffen. Shadow ran his hand up and down the length, rubbing the slit and making Sonic moan louder into the room. The blue hedgehog blushed as he saw Shadow lower his head and gently lick the head of his erection.

He placed his hands gently on the back of the black hedgehog's head, begging him to continue, and Shadow complied, taking Sonic's whole length into his mouth, sucking on it softly at first, then harder. Sonic could hardly bear the waves of pleasure rushing over him, voicing his pleasure loudly and began to squirm.

"Shadow!" Shadow smiled and held his lover's hips still and continued sucking on his length, tongue flickering against it inside of his mouth and hand caressing his balls, running over the smooth skin softly. Sonic couldn't bear the intensity, and a slur of incoherent words flew from his mouth as he released into the other's mouth. "SHADOW!"

Shadow swallowed Sonic's seed and raised himself to be face to face with his lover. The blue hedgehog was panting heavily, trying to regain his energy and had his eyes half-closed, gazing at Shadow, glazed over and their lips connected again heatedly.

Once again Shadow drew away. He lowered himself once again and spread Sonic's leg apart. Sonic raised his head to watch the black hedgehog.

"Sh-Shadow, what are you-?" He was cut off as Shadow's tongue flickered at his entrance, making him arch his back and moan. Shadow licked at Sonic's orifice before plunging his tongue into it, wetting the inside, preparing it for penetration.

'Shadow, Shadow, oh God!' Sonic's thoughts were jumbled in his heads as he panted heavily and gripped the velvet sheets. Shadow continued with his pleasing motion before coming back up and placing his own erection at Sonic's entrance.

"Ready?" Sonic nodded and pleaded with his eyes for Shadow to be gentle. Shadow saw the worry and whispered, "I promise I won't hurt you." Sonic smiled and relaxed beneath Shadow, inhaling sharply as he entered him. They both panted as Sonic got adjusted to Shadow inside of him. When Sonic was relaxed his nodded to his lover.

"Please Shadow," he whimpered as he drew back and trusted in. Shadow began to sweat as he pulled out of Sonic and rammed back in again, going harder and faster each time. Sonic moaned loudly, practically screaming when Shadow hit his prostrate. "Shadow…harder, faster." Shadow followed Sonic's wishes and trusted harder into his tightness.

"Ohh," Sonic moaned as the intensity grew, Shadow gave him even more pleasure by pumping on his cock in time with his thrusts.

"Sonic, so tight," he groaned as the pressure grew so it was almost unbearable.

"OOH, come with me Shadow!" Shadow plunged into Sonic a few more times before releasing into him. Sonic feeling the black hedgehog come inside him released too, his seed covering the quilts. They both lay still as they panted heavily. Eventually Shadow rolled off Sonic and covered them both with the messy duvet, kissing Sonic's neck and holding him in his arms.

"I love you," Sonic panted.

"I love you too." Sonic's eyes drooped and he fell asleep, Shadow watching him with a smile. 'I love you.' With that last thought, Shadow too drifted off into a slumber.

The next morning was beautiful, sun poured through the living room windows and the two hedgehogs' woke up and smiled at each other.

"Morning," Shadow whispered, pecking Sonic on the forehead.

"Morning," Sonic replied softly. He looked at the quilt, "Ugh, look at that mess." He laughed playfully, then looked at himself, and then Shadow. "I think we could do with shower." Shadow looked down at himself.

"Agreed."

Sonic showered first, and waited for Shadow in the living room as he washed. When Shadow came in he saw his blue lover looking troubled, and wrapped him arm round him, sitting down on the couch beside him.

"You OK?" Sonic nodded.

"I've just been thinking, I mean, I know we couldn't find his body, but I think Tails deserves a proper funeral." Shadow looked at him, he hadn't thought about having a funeral, so much had happened since that day. He finally nodded.

"We'll go sort it out now," he suggested, Sonic nodded, and they went into town to find the nearest funeral directors.

- Three Days Later -

"Our offer has been accepted, it's ours? That's great! Thank you so much. Yeah, bye!" Shadow hung up and turned to Sonic. "The house is ours!" He confirmed happily. Sonic hugged Shadow happily and sighed.

"Finally, an actual house to live in, what about furniture?"

"I called them earlier, they're ready to move in the stuff when we want them to, good thing we ordered them or we'd be stuck in that hotel for even longer." Sonic nodded.

"Good." He smiled, then looked into the mirror one more time to check his tie. "Come on then, let's go."

A group of people dressed in black stood around the coffin of Miles 'Tails' Prower as it was lowered into the ground. All his friends were there, Rouge, Knuckles, Cream, Vanilla, Amy (though she was kept away from Sonic and Shadow), Knuckles, Shadow and Sonic.

There was silence as the priest said a few last words the soil began to fill the hole. Sonic took one last look at his best friend's burial, then followed Shadow and the others out of the cemetery, where, to everyone's disgust and rage, a group of reporters were awaiting their arrival.

"How could they? This is a funeral for God's sake!" Shadow shouted, he chanced a look at Sonic, and he'd never seen him so angry before. He charged past the protesting black hedgehog and straight into the group of reporters who immediately crowded around him. One reporter rushed up to him and held a microphone to him as cameras recorded it on live television, asking details about the funeral, he was cut off as Sonic answered.

"As for the funeral, it is none of your fucking concern," there were gasps from the crowd as the language, no-one expected that from their 'hero', "but I would like to use this opportunity to resign from hero work, since you all think I'm so bad at it, I'm sure you'll have no problem finding someone better to do it, and if you cant, as far as I'm concerned, it's no longer my problem."

This speech sparked another stream of questions, but Sonic walked off without another word towards Shadow.

"Ready to go?" Shadow nodded.

"Everything's there." Sonic smiled.

"Let's go home then." Shadow wrapped his arm round Sonic as they walked to the car, starting the nth round of queries from the reporters, but they both just ignored them as they entered the car. Their eyes met and they both smiled. "Our home."
