Chapter Text
Nobody really considers that heroes aren’t always rich.
Sonic wasn’t going to take handouts. Yeah, sometimes his coffee was on the house, and he got a lot of fan mail with small gifts- but….
He’s broke. Like, really broke.
When fighting Eggman, there was really no time to have a job or anything like that. He didn’t need a house if he was just catching a quick nap under a tree every now and then.
But Eggman retired about a year ago. After another big battle- the normal world domination, he just decided he was done. It was about time, too- the guy was getting old and Sonic was already in his mid-twenties… he was glad this hero work wasn’t going to last till his thirties.
Well, he was glad until he realized he didn’t exactly… have a purpose anymore.
All of his friends had purposes outside of saving the world. Tails was no longer a kid and was going to a top school with a full ride, Amy worked for a Chao rescue, Rouge and Shadow were still GUN agents, Knuckles had Angel Island to watch over…
But Sonic? He wasn’t really educated, just the same education everyone got. He has never had a real job. He could run fast and save people- but none of his skills were valuable to the workforce. He applied to a lot of jobs- but it also seemed his reputation held him back. Yes… It was a good reputation, but places were hesitant to hire a celebrity- what happened when a store was flooded with fans who didn’t want to shop, but just see him?
And so the hedgehog could only couch surf as he applied for job after job.
Currently, he was staying with Rouge. He moved around- not wanting to overstay his welcome with any of his friends. They were all happy to have him, though. He cleaned up after himself and would help around their homes however he could.
Rouge was rich- she had a nice apartment in the city with huge windows and large rooms. It was evening, and the two of them were sitting at the table, eating Chinese takeout.
“Two more letters of rejection today.” Sonic groaned before stuffing some rice into his mouth. Rouge was eating sweet and sour chicken. “It sucks. You’ve got a statue built in your honor at the city center- yet nobody will hire you. Not even GUN… although, I’m not sure the job would be well suited for you.” She sighed.
Sonic groaned slightly. “I even tried for some personal trainer jobs, that fit my skill set, right? But every place just says I’m too energetic, I’m out of everyone’s league- like, I’m too good at the job to get hired? Ugh.”
Rouge just let out a sympathetic chuckle. “You’ll figure something out eventually. I had to do some crazy stuff to make ends meet in my early twenties- I mean, everyone knows that I was a jewel thief, but I did do some… other things on the side. It was quite lucrative, actually.” She hummed. Sonic raised his brow. “And what was that?”
Rouge was silent, debating whether she should tell him. Well, why not? They were close enough. “Well… like, porn. I never did it with anyone else, but people would pay a lot of money just to watch me masturbate.”
Sonic nearly spat out the rice in his mouth. He managed to swallow with a few coughs. He wiped his mouth, clearly shocked. “You did porn?!” He explained. Then he looked down at her chest.
Well… he had to admit, he could see why people would pay to see her… do stuff. She was clearly blessed in her body.
“I’m not super proud of it, but it was a more honest living than thievery,” Rouge explained. Sonic was silent for a few long seconds.
Wait.
That’s a really good idea.
Why didn’t he think of that?
Sonic stood up. “Rouge. Can I borrow like… $50? I'll pay you back. I promise.”
The bat raised her brow, before a knowing look came to her face. She smirked. “As much as you need, honey.”
…
And that’s how Sonic came to this. He put in an order for a few things online and as soon as they arrived, he set himself up in Rouge’s guest room.
He had bought himself a large dildo- one that had both the dick attachment and a vibrator to press against his clit. He also bought a set of lingerie and a stand for his phone.
Sonic set the camera up to face the bed. Then, he sat down on it- he was wearing the lacey black underwear and set the dildo in front of him for the camera to see.
He spent a long time deliberating how to start the video. Did he just, go for it? Did he do an intro? He thought he might as well.
The hedgehog cleared his throat and started the recording. He settled back on the bed with his legs crossed.
“Hey everyone! This is Sonic the Hedgehog, and today I’m trying something new! I saw this beauty online. I’ve never used anything like it before, so I thought I’d give it a try! It had really good reviews.” He told the camera as he picked the dildo up and presented it. He turned it on so the buzzing could be heard.
“Whoa! This has a powerful motor. I wonder if I’ll be able to handle it. It’s pretty big.” He explained. He wasn’t sure if he was doing this right. Maybe he should shut up? Most porn just had moaning in it. But maybe people wanted to hear him talk?
Sonic turned it off for now and set it to his side before lying on his back. He made sure the camera would have a good view of his pussy as he slipped his lacey underwear off. He just tossed it aside before spreading his legs apart.
“I forgot to order lube, so I’m going to have to make sure I’m nice and wet,” Sonic said, giving the camera a little smirk as his hand found itself on his pussy. He didn’t make any noises at the first touches- his fingers glided through his delicate folds. He was already glistening from the anticipation of what he was going to do.
Eventually, Sonic began to play with his clit. He began to softly moan as he rubbed the delicate bundle of nerves. He rubbed faster, moaning more in return. After a bit of that, he returned to his folds, plunging his fingers in and out so he could spread the slick all around it.
“And I think that just about does it.” Sonic hummed casually as he removed his fingers from his pussy. He sat up now, grabbing the dildo again.
Sonic sat up on his knees and positioned the dildo just below his entrance. He didn’t say anything else before lowering himself onto it, moaning softly as it penetrated him.
“Oh fuck, that is really big.” He groaned. He let himself go all the way down onto it. He felt his stomach- the bulge wouldn’t be visible on camera, but he could feel it with his hand.
“I think it’s all the way up to my cervix!” He laughed slightly. The vibrating part was pressed right against his clit, but it wasn’t on yet. He rose up and down on it a few times before pausing.
Sonic reached down and felt around the side of it until he pressed the button that turned on the vibrator. He let out a moan as he felt it- “Oh! Oh yes, fuck- that’s good,” he moaned. He just sat still on it, letting the vibrations stay on his clit for a moment.
He began to move again, bouncing up and down on the thing and moaning loudly. He let himself forget that he was staying in Rouge’s apartment- the walls weren’t thin per se, but with how loud he was moaning… she’d certainly hear him. He didn’t feel embarrassed- he got past that already. Rouge knew what the 50$ he borrowed was spent on.
The hedgehog continued like that for a while. He changed positions a few times as well- letting the camera see his backside, laying on his back and thrusting it in, getting on all fours and shoving his ass towards the camera as he fucked himself with the dildo. In the end, he was lying on his side- leg stretched up as he plunged the thing inside of him.
He started to move the thing faster. “Fuck- fuck, oh fuck!” He moaned loudly- then he pulled the thing out, and squirted all over the bed. He even got some on his phone- he hasn’t had an orgasm that explosive in a while.
Sonic allowed himself to recover for a few long seconds. He panted and lay flat on the bed, his thighs shaking ever so slightly. He looked back at the camera- he nearly forgot he was filming.
“A-and that was Sonic the hedgehog… testing out… a new dildo… if you liked w-what you saw, support me with some donations a-and you just might get to see me test even m-more stuff,” he said, half muttering as he still came down from his high. He sat up, grabbed his phone, and stopped the recording.
Once he turned his phone off, he lay on the bed, still recovering. Eventually, he calmed down enough to stand up. He looked at the huge wet spot left on the bed… laundry first, then sleep. He knew there were some spare sheets in the closet at least- so he stripped the bed, threw the soiled ones into the washer, and redressed the bed in fresh sheets.
Before Sonic went to sleep, he went to his laptop. He was on it daily applying to jobs- but tonight, he was using it for something else. He got the video from his phone onto the laptop and opened up a website called ‘Just for fans.’ He wasn’t sure how this first video would go- he’d probably need to post a few to really gain traction… but it’s not like he didn’t have the time to do it. When he wasn’t cleaning up or applying for jobs, he just napped, read books, and played video games. He’d just spend his free time playing with himself and filming it for money.
Sonic made his account. He kept it simple- a headshot of himself, one that was on his Wikipedia page and Instagram account. The account name was ‘Sonic.T.Hedgehog’, and his bio was simple-
‘Just a retired hero looking for some extra cash!’
He pressed the ‘upload’ button and titled his video, ‘Product review’ and linked the dildo in the description. He uploaded the video, closed his computer, went to bed… and promptly passed out.
…
Sonic didn’t expect anything to be different this morning. He got up at his alarm per usual, brushed his teeth, took a quick shower, and ate some breakfast. Rouge had breakfast plans so she had already left the apartment.
The hedgehog returned to the guest room and walked over to his computer to start his daily ritual of applying to every job in the area. When he opened it up, he realized that ‘Just for Fans’ was still open.
“Hmmm… I wonder how my video did…” he muttered to himself as he clicked the refresh page.
Holy shit.

They all paid to see his content. More than half left extra donations. He refreshed again to see if this was a joke- but the amount was different.

He was going to be rich.
