|Third Person POV|

Sonic was just sitting on a bench in the garden, the place was kind of relaxing, he just needed away from everyone cause he was starting to get a headache for just being in an inclosed place like the castle but his legs were cramping up if he stood for to long so a short walk helped a little bit to get the garden, the hedgehog just puts his hand on his bump and rubs it before letting out a sigh. "I know you can't hear me yet...but your really making this experience a hell...but I can't wait to meet you both when your born, that will make this whole thing worth it" he said to himself, he is out here alone except for the guards of course but they didn't really care only care to keep him safe and help him if needed, that is their job after all.

Scourge opens the door to garden and sighs in relief knowing that Sonic was safe he just walks up before stopping and listens to Sonic, he could listen to his husband talk all day. Sonic was just talking to his bump about the future and how it involves Scourge, and his friends and siblings. The green hedgehog only smiles to himself he just wraps his arms around Sonic and kisses his cheek "Hey Babe"

Sonic just purrs and kisses his cheek back, "It's a nice day outside" he added, just wrapping his arms around the green hedgehog. "You've been rather close lately?" Scourge only blinks he as been rather clingy to his husband, he just rolls his eyes he just feels to addicted to Sonic to just let him be taken away from him, that and he enjoys holding the azure hedgehog.

"So your just to addicting" Scourge admits.

Both hedgehog's ears twitch when the big door to the garden opens the two turn to see who it was who opened the door, stepped out the chipmunk. "oh...I didn't think you guys were out here"

"It's fine Sally, where you looking for us?" Sonic asked.

"I was actually looking for Scourge, We have someone in the dungeon that he might know..."

"Eh? Sure I guess" Scourge said putting Sonic back on the bench and goes over to the chipmunk. He doesn't know who she's talking about sure the green hedgehog knows a lot of people, he has a lot of connections here in Mobius and he does keep them in check, if they mess with Sonic, he wouldn't hesitate to hurt them more than hurt his husband, but the way the chipmunk spoke sounded as if, the green hedgehog had called someone to do something to Sonic, which isn't the case, he'd rather have himself be targeted than the person that he's loved.

Sonic just went back to relaxing and soaking up the warmness of the sun, it felt nice out here maybe Scourge wouldn't mind if he went outside of the castle and kingdom for a small jog or walk, the azure hedgehog just nods to himself as he got up quickly steadies himself and heads back inside, he really need a walk, he just felt trapped in this castle so he just starts making his way down the hallway his steps echoing in the hallway.

|Scourge's POV|
⚠️ Mentions of Drugs ⚠️

I don't know who she meant since I know a lot of people in Mobius, a lot of bad people, from Drug Dealers, to assassins, to Mafia Bosses, I have a lot of connections so I just assume it was probably just Drago...and that prick needed to be punished for what he did to Sonic.

The door to the dungeon was opened and she walked me to this person and my eyes widen at who I saw...my old drug dealer, now I understand the look on her face, I'm in trouble.

"So Scourge care to explain this guy" the chipmunk asked me.

"Okay okay I know it looks bad...but I don't do those drugs anymore...I promise..." I lied, okay maybe I snuck out at in the middle of the night to do a quick shot up.

Sally just looked at me before I felt arms on my jacket pulling it off of my body "HEY!!"

"Sorry Mister Scourge but this for your own good" I heard the Lynx tells me.

The chipmunk just roughly grabbed my arm and ran his fingers down my arm

"Just as I expected"

"Come on Sally you can't be like that!"

"Look Scourge I get it you want to be happy but drugs really!"

Okay she has a point I just needed to the rush of that in my system, as addicting Sonic is I needed something stronger.

|Third Person POV|

Sally just handcuffs Scourge's arms behind his back before shoving him into the cell far away from the dealer. "And you were planing on keeping this a secret! For how long Scourge!" The chipmunk growled at the green hedgehog, who just got to his knees, the holographic Lynx just pulls out some needles out of the inner pockets of the leather jacket she was holding they have already been used, the Lynx just scanned the syringes for the type of drug the green hedgehog was using while she was listening to the two rulers argue about this situation. "I'm sorry to say this Scourge...but I'm keeping you in here until you can get over this addiction! And just make sure you don't hurt yourself while you down here I'm leaving Nicole here with you!" The chipmunk tells the green hedgehog before turning her attention to the Lynx "So what kind of Drug are we dealing with?"

"Come on a Sally you can't do this to me! You know Blue is gonna ask and wonder where I am!" Scourge shouted back at the chipmunk, he knew he was gonna get caught at some point but not this early, and now he's gonna be separated from the one person that could help him get over this addiction, now he's being held against his will because he was caught doing drugs this is the worst.

"Looks like Cocaine, Sally" Nicole said the chipmunk only sighs as she takes Scourge's jacket she knows Sonic was gonna want to have a word with his husband after hearing this news, but leaving Nicole in charge of the green hedgehog who is gonna be suffering from withdraws do to the drug leaving system was a smart idea after all the AI is quick to react.

Scourge just lets out a struggling sigh as he looks over at his drug dealer who was just sitting in the cell across from him, the dealer was a black bear with deep purple eyes who just looked back at his client and just nervously smiles at him to say he was sorry for getting caught, but congratulated him on the marriage cause of the ring the green hedgehog was wearing the hedgehog just slumped his head onto the bars, he didn't know how Sonic was gonna take this news, base on how Sally reacted not well, he messed up big time with this.

Nicole walks over to the cell and forces Scourge to turn around and starts to scan his arms. "Hey can you at least let me out...so I can tell Blue myself" the green hedgehog whimpered out he knew Nicole was just an AI so he didn't really mind looking weak in front her as for his drug dealer well he just wants him dead. "No" the AI coldly said to the green hedgehog who only struggles. "looks to me you've doing this before you met Sonic..." Nicole only shakes "And you just continued up until this point"

"Come on...I'm trying..."

"Are you really?"

Scourge was just blinks and hung his head low, No he really wasn't trying, even after marrying Sonic, and finding himself to be a father. It just wasn't enough to make him feel happy, the drug was a boost of the dopamine that he needed to keep himself happy, and now the azure hedgehog is gonna hate him for this and that's the last thing he wants. He just falls to the floor not knowing that Nicole had let go of him.

Nicole had took a sit on the floor pulling up a holographic drawing paper in case she was gonna need to draw something for Scourge since he can't move his hands, her ear twitches at the some what fast footsteps coming closer to the area she can kind of guess who it was.

"SCOURGE!!" Sonia shouted making her way down into the dungeon and over to were Nicole and the green hedgehog are. "You criminal Motherfucker!!" She growled roughly grabbing a hold of the Green hedgehog's fur and pull him up to the bars of the cell. "You fucking better have a good reason for this before I punch you in the face!" She said showing the hedgehog the syringes.

"...I just wanted to be happy for him...It's just been hard to do some so I turned back to drugs...now can you just let me go or out..." Scourge explains.

"You didn't need fucking Cocaine, to be happy, you dumbass!" Sonia growled.

"C-calm down Sonia..."

Nicole, Scourge, and Sonia turn there attention to Sonic who had made it to the dungeon, he just wiped the tears away from his eyes, this kind of just broke the green hedgehog a little bit on the inside since they weren't fake tears, or just tears forced because of the azure hedgehog's pregnancy but real genuine tears, Sonia just growls and let's go of the green hedgehog to leave him on his knees. Sonic just walked up to the cell to see Scourge. "S-Scourge I d-didn't want to believe this..." the hedgehog swallows. "But...W-Why? Wasn't this enough happiness for you?...am I enough happiness for you.." Sonic finally spits out.

Scourge just pinned his ears to his head, he was gonna have to make choice, does he really being with Sonic really make him happy, or does Cocaine make him feel happy? Sonic noticed that the green hedgehog was struggling to say something, "Save it Scourge, I'm not mad...I'm just disappointed..."

Scourge's eyes just looked away from the blue hedgehog.

"I..."

Sonic just puts the jacket on and sits down on the floor next to his cell, he's probably gonna regret it but he's gonna stay and help Scourge as much as he can.

"Sonic..." Sonia started.

"This is a group thing...and as my husband, I'm gonna do what I can to help..." Sonic tells his sister before he just lets out sigh he was gonna help Scourge as much as he could as well as keep himself safe and active so having Nicole here will be a good reminder for him.

Scourge just felt ashamed of himself and just curls up into himself, it was gonna a be awhile before the withdrawal started to take effect he just didn't want Sonic to see him in that way, or in the way of the withdrawal will have him.

"It's okay Sonia, I'll keep him safe and healthy along with Scourge, I'm sure Scourge would rather have Sonic here than me" Nicole said to the magenta hedgehog.

Sonia only lets out a sigh, and nods she puts her trusted in the AI. "Okay...And I gonna take and hold your word for this Nicole"

The Lynx only nods with a smile as she just waves Sonia goodbye and goes back to monitoring the green hedgehog and the azure hedgehog.
