Consensual Kidnapping - Sonic & Alicia

[queen_of_mean]

 Alicia had finally gotten peace for her land, kept her throne, and gotten rid of the biggest annoyance in her life.

She'd never felt more miserable.

She stared at herself in a mirror, wearing the wedding dress she hadn't picked out. It was too tight, making it painful to breathe. Her hair had been put up, and in less than an hour, she'd be married to lord Scourge. He had proposed, quite literally,  this idea in order to end the bloody feud once and for all. It would bring stability the land needed. She still had some power. This was best for everyone.

So why was she filled with the urge to smash that mirror into pieces? She closed her eyes, unable to take that image any longer.

There was no time to grieve or admonish or yell or weep. Right now, all they had time to concentrate on was survival. Anything else would just have to come later. Though she was shaking for many emotional reasons, she looked ahead, surveying the area.

"... There's an abandoned church to the west of here. No one's used it in years."

[quickster]

"Got it." He made for the west while keeping an eye out for this Church. They probably wouldn't be able to stay there for long, unless this one of those places that only royals knew about.

He made it there just in time, for as soon as he entered the courtyard his appearance started to fade and he felt Alicia fall right through his ghostly arms. "Woah!" He came to a halt. "Sorry. Looks like I still gotta practice bein' like you regular folks some more." He knelt. "You okay?"

[queen_of_mean]

Alicia made a startled noise after falling through Sonic's arms and landing on her rump. Thankfully it hurt her pride more than her body. But as she sat up, and rubbed her side, she couldn't meet his eyes. Of all things, she was now ashamed to be seen by her own former familiar. How low could anyone sink?

"... I knew it was wrong." She sighed. "...I.. I knew it seemed too good to be true... I was just so... desperate..."

[quickster]

Sonic gave a slow nod. "I know." Having to spend so much time with her, he felt that he understood her desperation more than most. There were countless times that she'd tried as much as she could and failed to defeat that jerk.

One of those failures was the reason he'd ended up.. how he was.

"Come on. Let's head inside. Ya stick out like a sore thumb in that dress."

[queen_of_mean]

"... Perhaps if you'd given me ample time, I'd have been able to grab a change of clothes." It was all too easy to retreat back into her haughty attitude. But he did bring up a good point. Now that she was no longer trapped in that castle, she didn't have to be trapped in this hideous dress.

Once she stood up straight, she tugged in a few places here and there around her chest - and then sighed in relief. "I hate corsets."

[quickster]

"Heh..." Maybe he didn't plan it out quite as much as he should have, but at least the end result was that they were out of that place and Alicia was safe. That was what mattered most, right?

He ducked his face down, practically curling into himself as he squeaked out his next sentence. "Do you need any help gettin' that thing loose?"

[queen_of_mean]

After all that, he was going to be embarrassed? Alicia was torn between smacking him upside the head and teasing him.

Perhaps it was all the bitter stress she'd gone through that made her choose teasing.

"I did have several women help put this on." She watched him with a smirk on her face. "It might take extra effort to get this off."

[quickster]

Extra effort? What did that mean?

"I'll see what I can do with my eyes closed." He offered skiddishly, trying to stay optimistic about it all. Even when he was bound to her it wasn't like he made a point to look when she.. did things.

[queen_of_mean]

"How do you expect to get anything done like that?" She turned around, her back to him. "If you keep your eyes closed, who knows what you might touch?"

[quickster]

That news went over as well as could be expected for someone who was as nervous as him. His face turned a bright shade of red. "F-fine." He looked at the daunting back of the corset. "So what do I need to do to get this thing off of you?"

[queen_of_mean]

She couldn't see his face, but his squeaky voice left plenty to her imagination. It was a struggle not to laugh.

"Just loosen the strings, and I'll be able to shimmy it off."

[quickster]

Even if his hands weren't so steady, he stood a fair distance away and tried to undo the strings as best he could. He had to concentrate on that all the while concentrating on his hands being tangible enough to complete the task.

"They're tied so tight, how do you even breath." He had to practically dig his fingers into the strings to start to undo them.

[queen_of_mean]

After experiencing Scourge's rough, slimy touch on her body, Sonic's nervous jittery fingers were actually kind of relaxing. She closed her eyes, allowing him to do as he pleased.

"Just one of the perils of being a woman... For some reason, men want their women with their ribs crushed. If they could, they'd make me remove my organs to have me even thinner."

[quickster]

"Heh. I'd rather you be breathin' than wearin' this thing." As he undid the strings without thinking about it or being teased, he did eventually relax. It wasn't too long before he had unlaced them completely "I think you look fine just the way you are."

[queen_of_mean]

Once her lungs were free, she exhaled deeply, glad to be free. Without giving him any warning, she slipped her arms inside of the wedding gown so she could slide the corset off from the inside. It dropped past her waist and onto her legs, and if he was looking - that was one big if - Sonic might catch a glimpse of her undergarments.

"Finally... I can think better when I breathe better."

[quickster]

He wasn't expecting her to just drop the dress like that. So he was able to catch an unhindered glimpse of everything quiet easy. For a moment he gawked, but as soon as he caught himself doing that he turned around. Sonic cleared his throat, fidgeted, and shifted his weight nervously. "Yeah, That's." He shifted. "Good. Breathings good. Always was a fan of air. Especially breathin' it."

[queen_of_mean]

She could hear every awkward noise he emitted, and it made her feel worlds better. With relaxed muscles, she pulled the dress back on, appearing far more natural now. She took a few steps, leaving the useless corset on the floor.

"I'm decent now." She announced for him. "I shudder to think what you would have done, were you still under that love spell."

[quickster]

"Come on, it wasn't like that." Even he could have some control while under the spell. Well.. to an extent. He wouldn't have been all over her at least. Though he might've savored unlacing that corset a touch more.

Sonic glanced back with a smirk. "Although, if I were still under that spell I might've had to shower you with compliments. I know how much a beautiful and talented lady like you hates those."

[queen_of_mean]

"Gods forbid it still has some influence on you." Alicia faced him. For all the teasing and jesting between them, they weren't exactly friends. But they were... something. Something to be grateful for, despite her disliking such feelings.

She walked until she was right in front of him, crossing her arms. "... I owe you my life. I have no idea how to repay this debt..." And no doubt he'd say something ridiculous like he didn't want payment in any form.

[quickster]

"Heh. Yeah..." Because she had some misconception that liking her would be so ludicrous that she didn't even acknowledge compliments when they were given. Sonic looked off. "Just.. rule the Kingdom one day. On your own. No spells and no marriages to complete jerks. That'll be payment enough." He waved a hand, For now? If they catch us, just tell 'em you're my hostage. And make sure to tell 'em how cool, handsome, and threatening I am."

[queen_of_mean]

"I have never been fond of lying." She replied with a somewhat amused look. "But if the time comes, believe me, I know who to put all the blame on." After adjusting the wedding dress one more time - she couldn't wait to be rid of the blasted thing once and for all in the foreseeable future - she walked further into the church.

"Let's get a good look at our surroundings... This may be our home for some time."

[quickster]

Sonic's lips twisted into a frown. "..Great." Glad to see that, even in their current situation, she still had the same slippery kind of loyalty that he'd become accustomed to.

Sometimes it was so aggravating to like the lady as he did.

"Sure thing." Sonic trotted along side her. "Have you ever been in this place before? You knew where it was at."

[queen_of_mean]

"Only once." She inspected the doors and checked into the hallways, wanting to be absolutely sure there was no one else staying there. "For my brother's wedding."

Before his untimely... well, that was a whole other nest of thorns not to touch.

[quickster]

Sonic didn't quite get the idea of being subtle. As soon as she mentioned the topic of having a brother, he immediately began to ask questions.

"You have a brother? You never talk 'bout him." Though she wasn't exactly the biggest chatterbox. That job was usually reserved for him and she would chime in on occasion.

"What's he been up to lately?"

[queen_of_mean]

She began to walk down a hallway, trying to find bedrooms and perhaps food, since they had no idea how long this stay would be.

"Rotting." Her voice never changed inflection or tone. "He and his wife were killed a few days after the wedding. It was long before I found you."
