Reese watched her last customer for the day exit the shop as she chimed her farewell. She had quite a bit on her mind throughout the day which caused her one or two simple mistakes she didn't quite catch such as a customer wanting something or paying too much or too little for something. She and Cyrus had been married for about 2 years and she wanted something she knew he couldn't handle at all. She wanted to have children but her husband could barely handle being alone without her nearby, let alone in the room with a crying child.
The couple had met when they were kids and he'd always chase her around the fields. As soon as she fell, he'd land right next to her and they would just watch the clouds roll by like they had nowhere else better to be than right there. Oh how she missed those days where nothing could separate them, but now all he did was sleep as she sold ever since Tortimer quit being a mayor a month before.
So, she quietly crept over to her sleeping lover and tapped him in the shoulder, whispering, "Hey sweetie...The shop's closed, you can wake up now."
It took a moment or two, but he awoke.
"Yo, Reese, what'cha need?"
"I-I want to talk to you about something..."
"Lay it on me."
"W-Well...I-I don't know how to put this exactly without scaring you or anything..."
"C'mon, it can't be that bad."
"OK...Cyrus, I want to..."
"Your halfway there, say the rest."
"I want to have a..."
"A what? A store remodel, a new mattress, a what?"
"A baby." She softly mumbled.
He went quiet for a moment, trying to process the thought. He thought she wanted something small like a walk around the village or a store remodel but instead she wanted kids.
"W-Well...Uh..."
"I-If you don't want any, that's perfectly fine sweetie...I was just-"
"No no, it's not that...It's just...Why?"
"Well...I've just been thinking maybe since we've settled a bit maybe we could use a bit of excitement..."
"Hun', you know I can't handle children plus the village hasn't had a birth since...Who knows when?! Plus, how would business go with this? My refurnishing projects would be less charming than they are now!"
"Sweetheart, they'd still be charming...Plus, maybe a little change wouldn't hurt anybody?" She cooed in an attempt to calm her raging husband down.
"Well then we'd have to wait and wait then go through all the ruckus of getting it out!"
"W-Well, waiting would be good for you because then you'd have a chance to grow on the idea..."
"Reese, I just don't think it would work."
"We could make it work sort of like we made our wedding work..."
"That was kinda hard plus how would your folks take you being pregnant?"
"They'd be rather excited I bet."
She looked down as he went silent. He didn't want to make her sad but he didn't want to be distracted from work either. She knew he was going to reject her idea, and without knowing it she begun to cry a bit. He noticed her sadness and sighed, "Oh Reese, please don't be distraught."
"I understand if you don't want to have kids, I'll just go on without excitement..."
He knew there wouldn't be an event for a while and she hated breaks between events.
"Alright, for your sake we'll have a kid. Just one, OK?"
She smiled at him and chimed, "Thank you!"
"No problem...Now when do you want to-"
"Now."
"Why now?"
She had a rather cheeky look on her face and chuckled, "Just meet me in the bedroom with nothing on."
He grinned at her as she strutted to the door hidden from the customers. The door lead to a staircase which lead to their residency. Moments later, she walked into their bedroom and got comfortable by removing her apron. Moments later, she heard Cyrus approaching. He stood sat in front of her, his face meeting her's for the first time in a week. Some thought it was nearly impossible for the two to avoid eye contact but he just slept through the week, only being woken up to eat, use the latrines or to go to bed.
"Alright, so you want your Cyguy to do some 'magic'?"
"Yes, I've told you already I want it."
"Well, lucky for you, you married the right Alpaca!"
"Cy, I know how strong you are...But how well are you in the field?"
"Better than any other animal as you can already tell!"
"Well then prove it like you prove your refurnishing skills."
He trotted over to her and lightly kissed her neck. The longer he went on, the more she liked the feeling.
"Sweetie, do you mind moving yourself a little lower?"
So, he did as she desired except he kept going lower, kissing every inch of her sides. She let out a gentle moan as he ran his hooves through her gentle fur and continued to kiss her body.
After hours of kisses, moaning and climaxes, Reese finally gave in.
"Cyrus, I think I'm good."
"How do you know that?"
"Well, it's 2 in the morning first of all. Second, I'm tired and I just wanna go to bed already!"
"I wore you out huh?"
"Yeah...Plus my fur is kinda sticky from all the sweat...I haven't been that hot since that one summer where our date was to go to the beach..."
"Yeah, I'm not the best date planner ever..."
"But your still my Cyguy."
"Are you going to sleep or what are you waiting for?"
"Hm? Oh! Sorry, I got so caught up in my thoughts..."
"Nah, it's cool. Actually, I sorta enjoyed it." He admitted.
Moments later, she was asleep. He couldn't help but stare at her, pondering. How they know if she was expecting? He always ditched class in school so he didn't know what the symptoms were...All he knew was how to refurnish which was how he made a living...Until he met her.
When he was 16, it was just an average day in the shop and nobody had come around to him. They always said, "Oh their almost done..." or "I'll come back later."
They probably already knew what he did best and it was skip class. He knew the basics, math, proper English, and all they wanted him to know. But one thing few knew, was he actually did really dog gone well in refurnishing. Ever since he was a little cria when he'd always pull apart small things and make them look better than before. Until the bell rang at around 3:30pm.
A pink alpaca about his age shyly walked in and asked, "Excuse me, hope I'm not bothering you but I was wondering if I could find someone who specializes in refurnishing."
"I'd be one of those guys...If you'd let me."
"O-Of course!"
"Well lemme see the item."
"Well, I'm sorta embarrassed to show a guy..." She admitted.
"It's cool, I do things for my momma all the time."
"Oh! OK, well...Here's the item."
She handed him a small teddy bear and admitted, "It's for me, that's why I'm embarrassed...It used to be my mother's who got it from grandma...I've had it since I was who knows how old and I want it to be in the condition it was when my grandma was a cria..."
"No problem..." He looked at her and her eyes met his.
He didn't realize how sweet-looking she was. Her cheeks and fur were a rose pink and her eyes were as black as her hooves. She noticed his fur was in the prettiest shade of sky blue and his freckles seemed to pop.
"O-Oh, right...How much do I have to pay?" She snapped out of her trance.
"Oh! Right, um...I'm not supposed to do this but I'll do it for free."
"Really? Oh thank you! You deserve at least a tip though because you are one of the kindest workers I've seen here...And the cutest." She giggled.
"Nah, I'll do it free."
"Oh alright, just let me tip you."
She got a little closer and kissed his cheek. Her lipstick left a small mark on his cheek, leaving him speechless on how it felt as she walked out, her tiny black hooves clicking against the pavement. But before she left, she turned and flirted, "Call me when ready...Or anytime. My number's in your pocket."
The small bell chimed as she left the store. He pulled her number out of his pocket and there was a small note that said:
Give me a call when your free...And available, if you get what I mean.
~Reese P.
He smiled as he thought to himself, 'A girl...A girl actually likes me.'
Truth was, despite his ditching class habit he was considered a geek with his freckles. He was teased for them and never did make any friends...Until he remembered a girl that looked just like her would tell them to stop. Actually, there was one moment in that time that stuck out to him when he realized...The girl who would tell them to stop was the girl who just walked into the shop and gave him her number.
He walked to his little office which only had a wood table and a stool and sat down. The teddy bear had to be the best project he'd ever done to say thanks for helping him so many times. One of the guys saw he was working and laughed, "Someone brought in a teddy bear and big bad Cyrus is working on it? Ha! Have you gone soft?"
He snarled, "No, and it's not just someone. She saved my sanity and I just had to do something for her?"
"Ha! Who was it? Some other nerd? It's not like it was Reese Paca or anything."
"It was her."
"Pfft, impossible. She's outta your league, you two wouldn't last a week."
"Oh yeah? Wanna bet?"
"Yeah, if you last a week, I'll wear a dress. If you lose, I get her. Got it?"
Nothing would be better than seeing Lyle wear a dress and having a girlfriend that's actually in love with him and been dating him for longer than a week.
"Deal. You might wanna go buy one now, cause' I'm calling her."
"Ha, right."
So, as soon as Lyle left, he picked up the phone and dialed the number. There were three rings and then a voice asked, "Hello?"
"Hey, is this Reese?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Cyrus."
"Oh! Hey, is my order done already?"
"Nah, I was calling about something else."
"Oh, what else do you need?"
"Well, I was wondering if you were free on Saturday night...Y'know, just to share a milkshake."
"OK, I'd love to!"
"So see you Saturday?"
"Sure! Oh, also. How long is the project going to take?"
"I'll get to you then."
"Alright, we'll chat later!"
"Later."
He hung up and felt like his heart was about to beat right out of his chest. It was odd, usually he never felt such a thing for a girl yet Reese just made him quake. Maybe she was his missing piece? Nah, usually thinking that lead to a deeper wound when they would break up...
It was finally Saturday night and she was supposed to arrive at any given moment. He had finished the bear earlier that morning and it looked brand new. He fixed every broken stitch, washed it up a bit to get rid of the matting fabric and even wrapped a little pink bow around it's neck. He was overlooking his attire to make sure that nothing was out of place and to make sure his leather jacket didn't have a rip in it. Sure it was just to split a shake at the malt shop, but something made him wanna just look perfect for her.
Moments later, the doorbell rang. He raced to the door with her gift behind his back and opened it to find that he wasn't the only one dressed up. Reese looked as adorable as a button. She just wore a casual short sleeved shirt with a skirt.
"I hope this isn't too terribly much...I know it's just to go to the malt and all."
"If you want, we can go see a movie or something...I just fixed up my car and I could take it out for a spin."
"OK, that sounds really nice actually..."
"Cool, let me lead you there."
So she followed him down to a light blue car that looked almost brand new.
"I can tell you try to be a ladies man."
"I try to keep my rep up."
She giggled a bit at him and sighed, "Well one thing's for sure, you've got my attention."
He smiled and started the ignition. He couldn't help but think that maybe this one was his light and then he remembered it was normal for any new relationship to feel like it...
But all he could do through the movie was just stare at her in amazement. She only looked once or twice, but then she just focused on it once more. He heard her laugh and it had to be the prettiest thing he heard. Sure it was awfully loud for an alpaca but it just sounded like a paradise that was nowhere on the planet and could only be found in love.
She looked at him in the middle of the movie and smiled.
"I've got a surprise for you."
"Oh! I almost forgot."
He walked to the back and carefully pulled the teddy bear from the trunk. He investigated it for a moment to make sure nothing happened and when he finished, he handed it to her. Her eyes lit up as she handed it to him and the soft fabric touched her hooves. She was speechless as he climbed back into his small two door car.
"This is...So...So..."
"Horrible?" He sighed as he remembered customers barging in demanding a refund.
"Heavens no! How can someone think your work's horrible?"
"Well, most folk I do work for hate it-"
"Well then their just not worth it. Personally, I love it."
"Y-You do?!" He choked in shock.
"Yeah except there's something I love more."
"Which would be?" He asked in fear.
"You... Why are you so scared by the way?"
"W-Well everyone thinks I'm...kind of a geek. Even Nook and Lyle think so! Yet...Your like, a goddess!"
She sighed and admitted, "I know those two and let me tell you. Don't let them bring you down. Don't let them get to you. Just do your best in your work and quit skipping class. I know you can do it, I just know it."
"Nah, it's too la-"
"Please, for me?" She begged.
"Oh alright."
"Oh thank you! Besides, the times you DO come to class...It's actually more fun to be in class."
"Is it?"
"Yeah! I mean, the teacher is ALWAYS dumbfounded whenever you come into class! Heck, it's funnier whenever you have a perfect assignment."
"Ha, you got a point there."
She smiled and leaned closer to him as he leaned in.
Until a voice asked, "Cyrus, you OK?"
"Huh?!"
He suddenly awoke and jumped up from the bed, nearly knocking Reese onto the floor. Luckily, she avoided his sudden move and jerked her body to the right.
"Reese, what time is it?!"
"It's like, 10 in the morning."
"Oh lord, we're late to get to wo-"
"Honey, it's Saturday. We decided to close shop on Saturday, remember?"
"O-Oh yeah..."
"Plus, I hear we have a new mayor!"
"Where did you-"
"Isabelle stopped in earlier and told me! Isn't it exciting?!"
"Y-Yeah...Exciting."
"Hm? I thought you're always up for something new."
"Nothing..."
"Come on, you can tell me. Remember, your my Cyguy and I'm your Reesecup?"
"Well, I sorta remembered when we met and our first date last night..."
"And...?"
"I was wondering, well, if you DO happen to be pregnant, we could have one last night out before we become parents?"
"Sure, whatever you want."
"Thanks. So, speaking of things to do...What do you want to do?"
"Well, I was thinking maybe a simple stroll about the town today wouldn't hurt...I mean this IS the only day we get to relax."
"True. Alright, let's go then...Well, after I clean up a bit."
"I was about to ask if you were feeling OK if you didn't say that last part."
So he stumbled out of the bedroom and walked to the bathroom to freshen up and prepare for the rest of the day. Reese just sat on the bed and commented to herself, "Well, that went well."
Gahh, sorry for the lack of Cyreese "Romance" if you get what I'm pointing at. .-. I dunno if this should be T or M, so if it should be at M, let me know and I'll change it...I'll try to get to chapter 2 as soon as a I can because OMFG REESE AND CYRUS ARE SOOOO FLIPPIN' CUTE! U I'm surprised at you guys for barely any published Cyreese fanfictions!(Plus, I think Reesecup would be Cyrus' nickname for her because she's as sweet as chocolate and yeah you get it probably.)
