Love Confessions - Drunk - Alicia & Sonic

It's often hard to tell other people live and work in Alicia's castle, mostly because it's so huge and the people are so few. They tend to stay out of Alicia's way, not wanting to bother her (and fearing her wrath) and some days are easier than others. Today, one of the servants wound up accidentally breaking several bottles of wine - worrying over his lady's actions, the servant quickly cleaned up the mess, and replaced the bottles with the first ones he found in the market.

This was a bad choice for everyone.

Later on that day, Alicia and Sonic would return to the castle after a long day of training and battle against Scourge's men. It had rattled her nerves, which was why she headed to the wine cellar with a goblet.

"I don't suppose you'd care for a drink or two." At least she was nice to offer... kinda condescendingly, but still.

The more she spoke, the more Sonic was convinced she was feeling a little more 'spirited' than usual. For someone who was always refined to a fault, the lack of concise words when she spoke was extremely strange. Kind of funny, but weird all the same.

"Yeah, yeah. Wind and spirit. Got it." He repeated dismissively. Sonic pushed himself up from the chair, obviously straining under his own weight and his muscles' lack of cooperation, but he managed to stand despite all that. He rounded his chair and pulled out a seat for her. "Come on. How 'bout you put that down and take a load off for a while?"

Alicia downed the third helping, and probably wouldn't have survived a fourth. She squinted when Sonic pulled up the chair, not saying anything right away. Instead, she pushed him hard, making him sit back down.

"I'm the one who givesh ordersh around here!" She snapped, her speech beginning to slur when she spoke quickly. "You're always like that... impudent little... hedgehog. Hedgehogs are always so much trouble." She wobbled, and then grunted. "Fine, I'll take a load off. Fine. Fine."

But she decided to do so by sitting in Sonic's lap, hiccuping.

It wouldn't take much to get Sonic to sit down given that standing was such a chore, so he plopped back in the seat without any fight to the contrary. Much to his amazement, that wasn't the only surprise Alicia had in store.

Sonic leaned back as far as he could in the chair when she decided to, not only follow his suggestion to sit down and take it easy, but sat right squarely on his lap. "Uhhhhh....." Okay. That was not what he was expecting. At all.

He cleared his own throat. Given he'd had to struggle with his own feelings of extreme fondness and blithering irritation with her more and more as of late, having her do something like that didn't help matters.

"Okay. Let's try putting the bottle away now. I thiiink you've had enough of whatever that is." He reached around and tried to grab her cup and the bottle. Hopefully she wouldn't struggle and make him grab anything else.

"What do you care?" Alicia tried to keep the bottle away from him, but she wouldn't get up off his lap - hope he didn't mind all that wiggling. It was his own darn fault for wearing so little if he felt a little extra.

"You're always whining, whining, whining! Can't you ever just... shush up... shut up!" Alicia then moved so she was chest-to-chest with him, glaring while bleary-eyed. "Hedgehogs... you always act like you're the best! That you know everything! Well, you don't!" She then poked his nose, dropping her goblet in the process. "I know something you don't!"

An accidental brush of his hand against her lower thigh was enough to get him to forfeit the struggle for the bottle and glass, he let his hands fall back to his side. She was just moving around too much that he was bound to grab something else eventually. And he didn't want to deal with the possible aftermath of that! Well... For the moment. Maybe he'd think about taking the hit for it later. But since she dropped the glass anyway, he supposed it didn't matter as long as it was out of her grasp.

"You do know something I don't, huh." He put a hand on the upper portion of Alicia's back to try and steady her. The last thing she needed was to fall flat on her face.

"Does what you know happen to involve knowing when you've had enough?" He winked playfully. "Because I think you've had way more than enough." Though...he could feel himself feeling a little mellow as well. Oh, fantastic. Did their bond make it to where he could lightly feel those effects to some degree?

"Wrong!" Alicia pinched his nose, not caring if it'd affect her as well. "As always, you think you know better than me, know more than me, but you're wrong again, hedgehog!" Pinch pinch pinch, but then she let go.

"What you don't know is, I've been wanting to jump your bones since we first met." A hiccup followed, and she licked her lips, like she hadn't said anything unusual. "But nooo. I have to get the spirit that's afraid of women." She sighed with annoyance, leaning back but still not getting off him. "And at first I thought it's because you looked like Scourge, so I could get over it... but when we saw him today, I felt nothing! Absolutely nothing! So it's all you, and it's all your fault!"

With his nose being prodded at so much, he couldn't help but give it a light rub with the back of his free hand once she finally let go. Owch.

"I ain't afraid of women." He said defiantly....which was an odd enough thing to focus on considering the entirety of what was just admitted to him. "You're the only girl that drives me nuts since you act so crazy all the time!" He gave a light chuckle in spite of it all. "Seriously, what was that just now? You can't even say you like someone like a regular person, you gotta blame me like I did it on purpose."

"I bet you did." Alicia shoved him again, even though it made the chair wobble. "Trying to seduce me like some... stupid... spirit..." Even she had to admit this kind of silly. But she was determined to 'win this argument', so she grabbed his shoulder, glaring at him and going nose to nose.

"Fine, maybe you didn't do something, or anything... but I hate that! I hate not having control! And you can just barely be controlled! I hate that about you, and I love that about you."

Seriously? She didn't think she had enough control over him? Sonic's ears bent back in protest as she swooped her face in closer to his, a protesting glare clear on his face.

For cripes sake, he couldn't wander ten feet away without his insides starting to feel like they were starting to become his outsides! They had to sleep, bathe, eat, and spend all of their time in one another's company. He literally couldn't go anywhere without her. Not to mention all the times he recalled vague insults or threats being thrown his way about getting some other Familiar whenever he didn't listen to every one of her orders. (See: Every order.) Having her hands in everything he did still wasn't enough control for her?

And the real kicker was despite all of that, he still liked her. It drove him nuts.

Whether out of spite or because of sheer admittance that she actually liked something about him, He used the hand around her to press her forward the final few inches to where he could press his lips against hers. Ha. That would show her unpredictable and guilty of seduction.

Even in her drunken state, Alicia could still be shocked. She still had the bottle in one hand, but now it fell to the floor, shattering. There was then silence all around them, and silence in her mind. If she was in a sober state, he might've gotten a slap if he was lucky. His blood would be spilled on the floor alongside the wine if he wasn't lucky.

But she wasn't sober. This was another challenge, so she thought. He wanted to get the upper hand. Well to hell with that! He wanted a fight, he was going to get one!

She clamped both hands on his shoulders, pressing back as hard as she could make it. But he could easily do that, so she upped the ante - within seconds, Sonic would feel a wet tongue trying to force its way into his mouth.

If there was a response that Sonic was expecting as a result of his actions, reciprocation.. wasn't one of them. Did that mean Alicia was sincere when she said that she liked him? Or was that the alcohol talking, too.

Either way, guess he could indulge in the moment and enjoy it before his inevitable demise over what he'd done. At least he could try and imagine that she shared his sentiment to some extent.

He raised a hand and put it on her chin so he could tilt her head upward. Even if she felt that way because of the alcohol, at least when he returned the affection it would be genuine.

... This wasn't what she expected. Wasn't he supposed to yelp, flail, blush, shove her off, and then maybe curl up in the corner in a fetal position ? After indulging in this kiss for a minute or two longer than necessary, she pulled back, eyes narrowing again, trying to make sense of things.

"Now you like women?" She grumbled, trying not to hiccup. "This is what I can't stand about you... Just when I think I have you memorized, I know everything about you, I know what to expect... you pull the rug out from under me! You keep surprising me!"

Likewise, he expected her to pull away once she didn't get any backlash in return. Genuine affection did not seem to be her cup of tea. Since she didn't back off right away, He was content with letting her tongue wander his mouth and even provided a light lick in return. (Even if her mouth did taste like the worst kind of drink he could imagine. Bleh.)

Once she pulled away, he patted the Queen on the back to help with her hiccuping issue. "I'm just full of surprises." He gave a hapless shrug. "And..I like you. Even if you are a pain in the neck. Figuratively speaking." Sonic looked off and muttered. "Sometimes literally speaking." She did get carried away in training sometimes.

"Heh. I am not gonna survive once you come back to your senses, am I?" If there was anything he expected, it was for Alicia to deny the whole thing occurred and to hold him accountable for it all. Maybe she wouldn't remember any of it. Maybe he'd get severely punished. Who knew.

Alicia huffed but said nothing. She didn't know what her future reactions would be either, but the future seemed a far away and distant thing. For now she wanted to win. He was winning. That would have to stop.

If he tolerated kisses casually, maybe she could attack elsewhere... The 'pain in the neck' line gave her a good idea. She leaned on him, and for moment it looked as if she'd be content to sit and stay there, perhaps taking comfort in his presence. She'd let him think that for a good moment or two.

Then she'd bite him there. A little nip, but enough to feel teeth.

With Alicia quietly leaning on him, he assumed that she'd finally passed out. Guess that meant it was time to head back to her room until she slept off whatever bad drink she'd had.

But as Sonic shifted to try and figure out how to..handle picking her up, he felt a small bite to the side of his neck. "Ow! Geez!" It didn't hurt, but not expecting it made it all the more startling. He jerked to one side, causing the entire chair to tip along with them.

Alicia would have been glad to cackle in victory, but gravity was shifting, and for once it wasn't the alcohol's fault. She yelped, holding onto him, as both the chair and its occupants fell down in a heap. She screwed her eyes shut, her pride and flesh equally wounded.

After a deep inhale and exhale, she slowly opened her eyes - and saw that Sonic was right on top of her.

Even with his frantic efforts of flailing around to try counter-balance the chair, it tumbled over all the same. Sonic landed on the ground with an 'oof'. Though the landing wasn't quite as painful as he thought it would be... In fact, it was much softer considering he had another person sitting on him moments prior.

Once he was collected enough to look down, he found himself sprawled out over his Master--shoulder to shoulder, chest to chest. It seemed that she'd been the reason for his softer landing.

Sonic picked himself off the ground by his elbows, just enough to where he wasn't going to crush her at any rate. "Hi." His said with a mischievous smile. "How'd you get all the way down there?"

Alicia didn't reply to that just yet. She felt... flustered. Uneven. Chaos forbid, a little feminine. He could potentially do whatever he pleased with her, and she'd perhaps offer little resistance. It made her heart race to think about it - but it slowed down as she knew he wasn't the type to do that.

He was proud and playful, but also respectful and pure. All of these qualities endeared him to her while also aggravating her. She did't know what she wanted. She still felt dizzy.

"You're not going to do anything." A statement of fact.

"Nope." Sonic said with the same smirk on his face. Instead of doing something, he did the opposite of something: He did nothing at all.

He didn't move. He didn't try and get up, he didn't even make an effort to move from the position that he'd found himself in.

Instead he rested the side of his head against her chest and closed his eyes as he settled in the place that fate had dropped him in. He was gonna get it anyway later, might as well make the consequences at the end worth it! "I'm too tired. Hope you don't mind if I just crash right here."

Even if he wasn't going to take advantage of the situation to an extreme extent, there was nothing wrong with enjoying what he had in the moment. Ahem.

"You are a pain." Alicia grumbled. If she wasn't inebriated, she would have come up with something clever, or more insulting, or at least added 'in the ass'. But alcohol made her exhausted, and it felt like too much effort to push him off or pinch his ear. In fact, a nap sounded good right now.

Chaos help anyone who found them in this position.

"I don't know why you were the one I summoned." She placed an arm around his head as best she could, not exactly holding him but not laying limp either.

Sonic cracked an eye open. Mentioning being 'summoned' seemed just the thing to put a damper on his playful mood. He answered accordingly with a lackluster "No idea..."

The question nagged at him all the time. If he knew the answer to that very question of just why he was summoned as opposed to someone else, well, it would set his mind at ease. He had gained some memories here and there of what had happened before he'd arrived in Alicia's Kingdom, but it was still fuzzy for the most part. He only had vague memories of walking through a town, talking to a few people about various pointless topics, and feelings of deja vu that cropped up every now and again. Nothing solid.

As much as he wouldn't mind settling in for a nap, the stone floor couldn't have been comfortable. Sonic shifted, using the arm Alicia had put around him to help pick her up in his arms. He gave her a smile, "Maybe I was just meant to be your escort service, so none of your servants would lose respect for you in having to scrape you off the floor."

Alicia didn't bother moving, and slumped against him as he held her. She had no complaints about this, and the alcohol was making her groggy now that she stopped drinking it. She sluggishly nodded with a sigh, unable to decipher the complicated thoughts going through his face. She could barely put a few sentences together in her own head.

"You can say something smart," She mumbled, eyes closed, giving him one pat on the chest. "Occasionally. Never when I need you to."

"You'll have to show me how to do that whole 'proper timing' sometime." At that point, he was just indulging her in words rather than expecting a conversation. Nah. Alicia was far too gone to expect a reasonable amount of chatter.

He headed to their room, passing a few servants along the way. They gave him an odd look--he could practically hear the rumor mill start spinning already--but they said nothing more than that. It was likely for the best.

Sonic backed into her bedroom and headed to the Queen's bedside to gently lay her down. "Here you go. A nice soft bed." He knelt at her bedside with his arms folded on the mattresses edge to make sure she went to sleep soundly. "Sweet dreams."

Any energy to make a snappy remark or an insult had vanished. Now Alicia even wanted to fall asleep, to forget this foolishness and escape to the only peaceful refuge she had. Yet despite this, she tried to keep her eyes open as long as she could once she was on the mattress. She stared at him, but never said a word.

Maybe she was afraid he wouldn't be there when she woke up, despite knowing how impossible this was. Maybe she was comforted by his presence. Maybe a million things - but she stared and stared at him, intent with her gaze, making it stretch out until her eyelids were far too heavy to fight.

Her hand laid out in a quiet attempt to take his, but then was still.

Given her persistent glance he almost expected Alicia to say something else--something snarky but fitting to the situation--but it didn't come to pass. Sonic had to give a light smile as she reached for him.

And then she was out for the count.

"Heh. Good night to you too." He put his hand on hers. "I'll see you in the morning." Sonic turned in order to head to his own bed, but hesitated as he seemed to be considering something. "..." He turned back quickly and gave her a light peck on the forehead before resigning to his makeshift bed on the floor.
