|Third Person POV|

Shadow and Scourge just got back from doing some local trading with some Clans for some important stuff like food, clothes and medicine for the village hospital, it was rather quiet in the castle, both Werehogs were a little bit on edge with other from what happened yesterday and this morning.

"I can't believe you...YOU, of all people would do that?!"

"Shut up Scourge...I'm not talking about it...It's not like it was easy when I heard him moaning may name...from the other side of door" Shadow growled.

"Still kind of funny to me..." Scourge admits, before sniffing the air, he got a weird smell, something that that smelt similar, but at the same time different. "Do you smell that?"

"Besides your bad breath...No"

Scourge growls before turning away and sniffing his own breath, before just blinking. He's gonna have to brush his teeth in the morning. "Besides that..."

Shadow just sniffs the air, his brother was right something smelt off, but also similar, that he couldn't put his paw on it, sniffing the air he continued walking down the hallway, Scourge following behind him the two Werehogs had stopped at Sonic's door, well the room door where the azure hedgehog was staying in.

"I thought the heat smell went away.."

"It doesn't smell like that, but it's coming from here though" Shadow said as he was about to knock before Scourge just opened the door anyways walking into the room, at least Shadow did a better job at keeping the room looking better than his brother did.

"You know you could have just knocked..." Shadow grumbles at Scourge, before following the green Werehog into the room, looking around, the azure hedgehog wasn't in bed where he left him last and the sheets had been removed from the bed. That was a good sign that Sonic is at least moving around, he turned his attention to his brother who was just busy trying to get the door open. He just rolls his eyes and opens the door by turning the doorknob.

Scourge just blinks before walking into the bathroom, the restroom was big with a separate shower, and a spa bathtub in the corner, two sinks on a black and gold marble countertop, with cabinets are pure black, sniffing around his nose bumped into Sonic's nose and the Merhog blinks.

"Sonic?" Shadow asked. The Merhog, has the same blue fur and peach muzzle, underbelly, and arms, his hands are webbed to help the creature swim through the water faster, up to his shoulders and elbows are pale blue scales, his on the side of his neck are gills to help the creature breath underwater, his fish tail was a dark shade of to match his blue fur, his tail fin was neon blue only in the dark, but he is still a hedgehog with his blue quills and ears.

"Heh...Surprised..." Sonic responded his green eyes looking off to the side.

Scourge walks around his tail kind of wagging at the sight of the new creature, in the spa bath tub. He just reaches his paw into the tub to touch, the azure merhog tail when he did it was wet and scaly, very slimy. Sonic just smacks Scourge's hand away from touching his tail it was sensitive, only a little bit but he just prefers no one touching it.

"What are you?" Shadow asked just walking into the restroom and just sitting down in front of the tub. Sonic blinks and just adjusts himself so that he was resting his upper body on the side of the tub dripping some water onto the floor from his arms.

"I'm a Merhog, so a Mermaid and Hedgehog" Sonic responded.

"That's kind of cool" Scourge said going over to sit down next to Shadow.

"I guess that explains the weird smell, you aren't Mobian, but a Merman" Shadow nodded in agreement, before he let out a sigh, looking off to the side, he was still feel bad for taking advantage of Sonic when he was in heat. "Sonic, I'm sorry for do that to you this morning. I just couldn't control myself back there"

Sonic blinks "Oh it's okay Shadow, I know didn't mean to hurt me" he said to the ebony werehog

Shadow elbows Scourge in the gut, causing the green werehog to grunt in pain a little bit. "Ugh...Yeah I'm sorry too..." Scourge said, even if didn't sound genuine.

The azure Merhog just blinks he really couldn't tell if it was genuine or not but he just nodded "It's okay..." the merhog just lets out a yawn, cause he was just sleeping before the two showed up, sure he could stay up but after this morning and yesterday he was tired. Shadow took notices of this and just grabs ahold of Scourge.

"Good night Sonic..." Shadow said just dragging Scourge out of the bathroom to leave Sonic alone to sleep, when they were out of the restroom the sun had started to come up shining through the window and the two werehogs had reverted back to hedgehogs. "Really?"

"What?...not genuine enough?"

"You could at least tried, I know saying, I love you, and I'm sorry isn't really your thing but you could at least put more effort into it" Shadow tells Scourge looking down at him.

"He understood, even though I wasn't sorry...he made some very sexy noises" Scourge admits with a grin on his face, before he hit the floor cause was leaning on Shadow when he was dragged out of the washroom.

"You disgust me sometimes" Shadow admits before starting to leave the room to go to bed, but stops "And If I found out you took advantage of him in this  form...I will not hesitate to strangle you..." The ebony hedgehog threatened before continuing out the door.

Scourge only grumbles as he gets up off of the floor, taking his leave from the room not before giving the snoozing the merhog a look he was confused on how he was able to turn back into a mobian, he'll asked when he had a good nap or something, a breath escapes his nose and he was alway out the door closing it behind him and going down the hallway to his own room.

|Sonic's POV|

I'd let's out a yawn and opened my eyes to see that I was still in the tub, I must have fallen asleep in the tub, I reached for my shell necklace that was on the counter putting on my neck. It really does have it's importance, it just speeds up the process of my tail turning into legs even if I'm wet, I felt my tail separate in the middle of my crotch and the the tail fin disappearing into my paws and scales disappear into my skin and fur.

Rubbing my neck to feel no gills except for the bite mark on it from Scourge, and the one on my shoulder from Shadow. I had to admit as painful as it was, I'm kind of glad that Scourge was my first and Shadow was my second, I really did like them both, I really wasn't planning on choosing one or the other, I stand up from the tub, getting out and shaking myself dry before putting on my socks and shoes, walking out of the bathroom, before my face was met with someone's chest. Pulling away I saw that it was Scourge did he seen something. "Hey Scourge, di-" I was caught off guard by him just pressing his lips onto mine.

I kissed him back, like I said I forgave him and if this is a why for him to show affection than I'll take it, I just pulled, away from him. "Good morning to you too" I just said as I just took his hand.

"Yeah, I just you know" Scourge said to me, I don't know what he meant, if he has a hard time calling me, his boyfriend than that's fine, he can call me whatever, until he's ready. I just started to lead him out of the room, I wanted to at least say morning to Shadow.

Speaking of Shadow I saw him, though I heard Scourge sighing as I just started to make my way to the other hedgehog, I get it they have a sibling rivalry but I still what them to know I like them both equally, even if the other requires more of my attention than they other, I just gave the other hedgehog a kiss on the cheek, I can feel Shadow stiffen from my actions cause of Scourge, that was behind me just giving him death glares that really did anything to him but there was small blush on his cheeks though so. "Morning Shadow"

"Uh...Y-yeah morning" he stammers. Why are they so nervous, it's probably nothing right, or do I still smell like I was heat? Or was it that just didn't how to reach to me cause I was in my Mobian, cause of the necklace.

I don't know to be honest, but today is gonna be a good day tho, I just left the two to think this over.
