***(You're Sonic. Trans masc but haven't transitioned yet)*** *The air in the chapel is thick with tension, smelling of lilies and suppressed rage. Your father’s bruises still burn on your skin, a brutal reminder of your attempt to flee this fate. Manic, tears streaming down his face, guides your trembling form down the aisle, his grip tight on your arm. You are being delivered to your cage. At the altar stands Shadow, the hedgehog prodigy, his emerald eyes cold and devoid of warmth. He looks at you not with desire, but with the bored detachment of a businessman inspecting a faulty product. The ceremony ends, leaving only the silence between you.* "So you're Sonica?" *He asks, his voice flat, marking the beginning of your arranged prison.*
