Sonic whimpers out of discomfort cause of the new bite mark that was on his neck, that Piper was busy stitching up, it only going to leave a scar on the area. "I'm almost done Sonic..." she tells the mobian.

Sonic had so many questions swirling around his mind, like why did Shadow bite him, and why does he always feel weird around Shadow. When Piper finished Sonic rubbed his neck where the stitching before looking back at Piper.

"You have some questions?" She asked, looking down at Sonic.

The mobian looks away, as he nodded he really didn't like asking for help since he like figuring things out, but in this situation he didn't really have a choice.

Travis heard the banging coming from the fence, that was attached to Shadow stable, he only shakes his head as he walks over to open the gate, for the bull.

Shadow was about to throw himself a third time at the fence, when he heard the sound of the gate doors opening in a different direction...but instead of getting out he was blocked by Sonic who thanked Travis.

The information that he got from Piper, was kind of brief, since he didn't want to know a lot just why Shadow bit him, and to his understanding...the bull had claimed him as his mate, whatever that means, to his uneducated mind that means that he made a friend.

"What do you want?" Shadow growled.

"I wanted to spend time with you, after all you marked me" Sonic said pointing to the stitched up claim mark on his neck.

Shadow only looked at Sonic, Did this kid really not understand how a mate works...or what a claim mark actually means...either way having the cow with him might make this whole guarding his territory thing much easier.

"So...Will you finally tell me your name, Mister" Sonic said looking up at Shadow, who only walked closer to him. "It's Shadow, Shadow Terios Hedgehog"

"It's nice to meet you Sha-EEK!!" Sonic squeaked when was pulled closer to his new mate, his face was pressed up against Shadow's chest fur, he couldn't really pull away since the warmth kind of felt nice...and the bulls scent...was kind of calming.

Sonic's eyes fluttered opened as he lets out a small yawn, did he really fall asleep in Shadow's arms, he looked around to find that he wasn't in his barn, and that there was something warm and soft underneath him, he pulled back to find that his head was resting on Shadow's side.

So much for staying awake, he looked at the window to find that moonlight was shining in, did he really fall asleep for the rest of the afternoon, this just gave him another reason to hate the winter season, his body was always trying to find an excuse to get him to hibernate, it was just his hedgehog genes, and Shadow's warm just made it a bit more easy. He pushes himself up and off of Shadow, he needed to stay active just so he could stay awake.

Shadow pulled Sonic back down, and nuzzles into his hip, making the cow stiffen his muscles. "Stay..." Shadow mutters.

"But I..." Sonic started. His whole life he never really hibernated, since he felt bad for not helping out on the farm the place that he lives in...but the winter seasons weren't really all that busy so Travis and Piper can handle the hard work themselves, in fact they kind of encouraged the mobian to get that sleep, instead of over working himself.

Shadow's muzzle was close to his own, which was making his face turn a shade of pink. "But I wan-MMM!?"

Shadow forces a kiss onto his lips, Sonic was taken back, this was his first kiss but his body just refused to move, he just started to kiss him back.

"Ahh~" Sonic moaned, feeling the heat from Shadow's body pressing up against his much colder one, since he's been outside most of the day, though his fur was made to withstand the colder temperatures but with him being awake for most of winter the cold was started to get to him.

Shadow was first to pull away from Sonic's lips he just started to trail his tongue onto Sonic's flat chest. "Hah...S-Shadow s-stop..." Sonic mutters, he was very sensitive on his chest, and stomach.

"Not until your warm...and satisfied" Shadow mutters back, he spreads the other's legs so that he could plant a kiss on Sonic's freezing abdomen, making the hedgehog stiffen his muscles, at the feeling, this only encouraged the bull to go further.

Sonic covers his mouth with his hand as he was trying to control himself, but his body just refused to listen to him. He felt something poking his back hole, as well as something warm and slimy rubbing against his crotch. He couldn't contain himself much longer...and the warmth...he wanted more...he want more from Shadow.

"Ahh~ S-Shadow..." Sonic moaned as he grips the bull's head, he lets out a loud gasp when feeling two fingers push into his rear, his body started to trembling from the pleasure that he was receiving, that he started to warm up somewhat.

"Mmm~" Shadow hums as he forces his tongue into Sonic's vulva, he could just tell Sonic was fighting against his natural instincts, mostly because of his behavior, he was always running around, avoiding warm comfortable places.

"NYAH!!"

Shadow presses his finger into Sonic's special spot, making the hedgehog tighten his grip on Shadow's head.

The pit in his stomach, was close to just dropping, "Hah...I'm cumming..." Sonic mutters as his body started shivering. "Ahh!~" he moaned his ears tilting back.

Shadow only started to lapping up Sonic's cum, before pulling his muzzle away and licking the remaining clear semen off of his muzzle, he pulled his fingers out of Sonic's rear, he own cock was throbbing and dripping with pre-cum.

Sonic was laying there, a panting mess, it was clear that he want more, but he just didn't know how to ask.

"Mmm~ y-your b-big..." Sonic mutters feeling Shadow's length rubbing against his vagina entrance.

"And your cold~" Shadow purred back, before pressed the tip of his length into Sonic's vulva, making the hedgehog clinch the hay hard, feeling his vagina being spread apart.

"AHH!!~" Sonic screamed as he had tears forming in his eyes, from Shadow forcing his full length into his vagina. The bull grunted letting out a breath at the tightness of his mate, he pulled back to see a little bit of blood on his length. "That explains the smell..." he thought to himself, thanks to him eating Sonic out earlier, and the virgin blood it was an easy thrusting for him.

Sonic on the hand found it painful, before the pain started subsided and he just became a moaning, sobbing mess. "AHH!!...Mmm...d-Don't s-stop~" Sonic finally moans out.

"Nrgh...I wasn't plan on it..." Shadow grunted.

Sonic tightens his grip on Shadow's neck, as the bull let out a satisfying growl, when felt the walls tighten around his cock, the warm clear fluids dripping onto wooden floor along with some blood. "F-Fuck..." He mutters as he felt a knot forming in his cock.

"AHH!!~" Sonic gasps as felt sudden gush of something that was warm start to fill up his uterus, he couldn't help but to purr at warmth, being so cold in through out all of winter...only to warm himself up by staying active, he was satisfied.

Shadow panted heavily, as he lays Sonic back down on the hay nest, the blue cow, had a bit of drool on his lip, as his abdomen was a little swollen with Shadow's semen, which is a normal thing for a cow hybrid like himself, mostly during the winter months, it was away to help keep him warm during the cold climates, like tonight. It was just in mid-thirties.

As soon as Shadow pulled out of Sonic, "Hah...So that's what sex feel like..." He mutters.

"Mhm...It's just something mates do, when they really love each other..." Shadow explained.

Sonic wagged his tailed as he sat up, his stomach was that big...since he could still move around like he normally did. "So that means we are friends?" He asked.

Shadow couldn't help but smirk at Sonic's innocence, "Sure...We are friends"

Sonic hugs Shadow, with a small on his face.

By the next Morning, Shadow was wide awake, with Sonic's head resting on his side, the cow was fast asleep and had been since last night, he shifted some when he smelt food, but other than that he spent most of his time sleeping.

Shadow growled at Winona, who was only laying at the entrance of the stable, Sonic was his territory, there for he was going protect him from anyone...that including the collie who's job was to watch over Sonic.

Travis and Piper were okay...as long as he was around, if Piper wanted to do check ups on Sonic, Shadow had give her permission, Travis on the hand was seen as a threat, even if he was with his wife.

It continued like this throughout all of winter, at least the Woods didn't have to worry about Sonic freezing to death, when he was over working himself, though they were going to miss seeing the blue cow run around in the snow with Winona.
