This chapter took me way to long to release, this is the third edition of it. The first time, I didn't like how it was going, so I rewrote it from scratch. Second time I changed the ending, it was originally going to have Rainbow tell Twilight that Fluttershy and Adam were in a relationship, resulting in Adam have to decide, leave, or stay with Fluttershy and face death. But I didn't want it to go like that, so this is what you got!
I hope to write more in the upcoming year, and will try my damn hardest to put out a chapter for something, at least every two weeks, so that's something to look forward to!
For editing, I just re read it, so there may be some errors in the story, but I will try and fix all them. Thanks for reading!
Warm, cozy, comfortable, somethings I haven't felt in years... I opened my eyes, it seemed to be some time in the middle of the night. I was a little disoriented as I tried to clear my mind from sleep, when I noticed something on top of me. I looked down, there was a silky mass on the left side of my chest, the blanked pulled up to almost the top of what ever was on me. I moved my hand down, running my fingers through it, the feint smell of strawberries filled my nostrils when I took a deep breath, only one thing coming to mind. Fluttershy... I smiled, memories of yesterday flooding back to me, but suddenly, a feeling of dread came over me. Celestia... Fuck... I know she doesn't trust me, heck, I don't even know if she is aware I'm out and about... But this... Falling in love with a pony? Would she accept it? Or cage me back up... Or even worse, kill me? I pushed these negative thoughts away, my anxiety trying to take over and I took a couple deep breaths, calming myself down. It wouldn't matter, because I have... Fluttershy stirred, letting out a little cute yawn, stretching herself out and then resumed cuddling into me. She was smiling slightly and I ran my hands over her back, her soft coat felt nice on my hands, and I'm sure she like it as she shifted, trying to get closer to me. I looked down at her, she slowly opened her big eyes, her mind clearly a little dazed as she looked at me sleepily. "Wha?" She looked at me and smiled, memories coming back to her from the other night. "Oh, Adam..." She teared up, pulling back a little. "You're still here with me." I nodded, smiling a little.
"Of course, I have no one else to go to." She sighed and laid back down on me, hugging me as best she could.
"I have never had my own coltfriend before, this is exciting." She said in her usual quiet voice, making it hard to believe she was really excited. I sighed, making her look up at me. "Did I say something wrong? I'm sorry!" She whimpered and I shook my head.
"No, no no... It's just that... What about the rest? What about everyone else? Would they not care, or put me back in a cage..." I felt a little scared. "I don't want to go back in a cage." Fluttershy nuzzled under my chin.
"I won't let them, you won't ever go back into a cage, that's not right. You're not an animal Adam, don't let anypony tell you that." I smiled, genuinely. I rubbed my hands over her back, making her squeak and shudder. "Ohh, that's nice..." She blushed, biting her lip and she laid her head onto my chest again. I yawned, still a little sleepy and I interlaced my fingers around her back, her tail going down my body and... I blushed, my face was warm and I bit my lip. What would she say? Her tail was gently draping over my half hard morning wood covered by my boxers, and I hated to admit it, but it felt really nice. She flicked her tail sub-consciously and I stifled a groan. We just laid there, enjoying the moment, when my stomach growled, making her giggle and get off me. "How about some breakfast? I have some shopping to do today as well." I winced. Did she plan on leaving me here alone?
"Can I come with you?" She smiled lightly and shook her head as she got off me, hopping to the floor with a dull clack of her hooves.
"I don't see why not, but first things first. Breakfast." I sat up, putting my feet on the floor, then stood up and stretched, Fluttershy meeping and looked away, covering her face with her mane. I was a bit puzzled, my gaze going downwards to see my manhood at half mast, the remnants of morning wood. I felt my face burn, my hands going to cover myself.
"I'm so sorry Fluttershy, I... I didn't mean to, it just sorta..." I felt myself blush harder, and I prayed to whatever god, that I didn't offender her. I picked up my pants, covering my waist with it and ducked my head in shame when I felt her hoof on the thigh.
"I- It's ok Adam... It's only natural." She then giggled nervously. "Besides, it's not like we ponies wear clothes all the time." The realization hit me, in more ways then one. One, a sense of relief, and the other, a sense of arousal. She was right, there was nothing between the world and her nethers, the sole exception of her long tail that made sure most of the time it was covered... But it was only fine hair... I shook my head, clearing these thoughts from my mind. I just started dating her... And already I'm thinking dirty... Dating... Shouldn't this be weird? Disgusting? She is a pony after all. But a beautiful, smart, emotion having pony. One that could speak, think, act freely, live more like a human then I... I looked over at her, my arousal fading, being replaced with happiness.
"Thanks Flutter... I love you." She blushed, cowering back a bit, a little smile placed on her face.
"I- I love you too." I ran my fingers through my hair, the usually silky strands felt, greasy. "Would you like a bath? Shower?" I nodded, following Fluttershy as she walked towards the door and pointed to one across the hall. "That's the bathroom over there, come down when you're done, I mean... If you want to..." She lightly cowered and I nodded.
"Sounds good, I'll be done shortly." She smiled and nuzzled my exposed thigh, her soft face felt nice and I pet her head, quickly making my way to the bathroom. I closed the door behind me, having some time alone felt nice. I sighed and looked down, my manhood responded from her touch. I knew the basics of sex, not having ever touched myself down there, aside from cleaning. But now, it was a little unbearable, blood flowing south as I walked over to the tub, my mind swimming in thought. Her coat felt amazing... I wonder what it would feel like... My manhood twitched, and I immediately pushed those thoughts out of my mind. She would never want to do anything like that. Stop thinking those things. I took my dirty clothes off, turning the water on hot, having a bed, heated water, breakfast made for me... This place was a paradise. I smiled to myself, getting in the shower and the water felt amazing. It was clean, warm and felt nice as I took the detachable shower head in my hand, my much greater size compared to the ponies meant that the shower wasn't as tall as I was. But her tub seemed to be pretty big, even for a pony but I shrugged it off, worrying about getting clean. Once I got cleaned, I got out of the tub and wrapped a small towel around my waist. I brought another to my head, drying my hair when I heard a knock at the door. "Come in." I said and the door lightly opened, the short muzzle of Fluttershy peeked in the little gap between the door and door frame.
"Ra- Rarity came by and dropped off your new clothes..." I smiled and walked over to the door, her eye that I could see look me in the face, before trailing down my body. She lightly blushed as she looked at my weak body, I was never a fighter so I was a lightweight for my height. Her eyes went to the towel, her blush reddening as she stared for a second or two, right where my manhood was. I opened the door, snapping her out of her trance and she had a bunch of clothes on her back. I picked up a pile and set it down on the bathroom counter. It consisted of a light sky blue v neck tee shirt, a pair of blue jeans with the thighs worn a little, a white pair of socks, black boxers, and some brand new shoes. They were white, with black stripes on the sides.
"Thanks Fluttershy... I will have to make this up to her somehow." Fluttershy backed towards the door, slowly closing it.
"I'll put these in our room, and let you get decent." I smiled and heard the door close before I picked up the boxers and dropped the towel around my waist. I stood there, stark naked inside her bathroom as I put my boxers around one of my legs, when I had an... Odd feeling that I was being watched. I looked at the door and it was closed so I just shrugged it off and continued to get dressed. One I was finished, I looked at myself in the mirror, looking over my body. I was never fond of my looks, in reality I thought I was super unattractive and useless, but I had developed severe lack of self confidence. So I was extremely hard on myself in everything in life. I took a deep breath, forcing myself away from the mirror and I opened the bathroom door and into the hallway. I heard a light singing, coming from downstairs, and it was amazing. I tip toed down the stairs, just peeking into the living room to see Fluttershy, slowly skipping around the living room, a bunch of her animal friends were eating some sort of food. The sun rays lit her up, the particles in the air only added to her beauty as she sang, it was just laas and such, but regardless, it was beautiful.
I came down the stairs very quietly as she trotted into the kitchen. I followed her inside, a wonderful smell wafting up into my nose as she skillfully flipped a couple of pancakes in a pan, using her lips on the handle, something made me wonder how she didn't burn herself. I made sure not to surprise her, letting her look over on her own. Once her eyes looked over at me, she smiled. "Breakfast smells wonderful Fluttershy." She grinned, before almost dropping the pan. She managed to put it back on the burner and let go. We both stared at each other for a couple seconds before we shared a laugh. "Sorry, I didn't mean to distract you." She then trotted over to what I assumed was a fridge and got out two eggs, balancing them perfectly on her muzzle. She then walked over to the stove, placing them onto the counter.
"Oh, it's ok Adam." I walked over, gently running my fingers into her long pink mane, the hair fibres felt like silk as they ran over my skin. She nuzzled my hand, closing her eyes a little and smiled. "That's nice." She whispered and after a couple seconds, I stopped and picked up the pan, flipping both pancakes over in one motion. "Oh wow, that was impressive." I scratched the back of my head, wiggling my fingers on my other hand.
"Well, it's nice to have fingers, they can help a lot." I then decided to help her set up the table, looking through the cupboards and found a couple plates, two glasses and some utensils for us. I set the table when I smelled that she was putting the eggs on, my tummy growling as the wonderful smells came to me. "Uh man, is it almost done? I'm so hungry." She turned around smiled over her shoulder.
"It should be done soon Adam, you can wait right?" She teased a little and I nodded. She turned her attention back to the stove, making sure not to burn the eggs. As I watched her make breakfast, my eyes trailed all over her small body. She was pretty curvy, her nice yellow coat and her beautiful long pink mane. I gently bit the bottom of my lip, my cheeks getting a little warmer as I looked at her... She was mine, my Fluttershy, and that made me feel awesome. I felt a need to hold her, protect her and make her happy. She snapped me out of my thoughts as she came over, placing our plates onto the table. "There you go, hope you like it." She smiled, her eyes closed as she was standing next to me and I leaned in to kiss her. She meeped softly, pulling back a little before looking into my eyes, a small blush on her cheeks.
Thinking I had pushed a little too far, I was quick to apologize. "Sor-" She cut me off with a small kiss of her own, pulling back seconds later and she smiled.
"Don't be. I'm just not used to having a special somepony." I hugged her, my arms wrapping around her neck, my left hand resting on her neck, and my right hand went just between her wings. Instantly she tensed and her wings shot open and she whimpered. I instantly pulled my hands back, hoping that I didn't hurt her.
"Did I hurt you?" I noticed her cheeks were flushed and she slowly shook her head, her gaze going to the floor.
"N- No..." She seemed to be very uncomfortable and I felt bad. I gently stroked her cheek with the back of my index and middle fingers, making her look up at me.
"Fluttershy... I don't know anything about ponies, so if I did anything to offend, hurt, or anything you don't like, I'm sorry. Just tell me what I did, and I won't do it again." I said softly, Fluttershy gulping lightly and adverted her eyes again.
"Ok... See you touched my flight muscles... And they are very sensitive. I only heard stories and the like that when somepony else touches them, it..." She blushed bad, her cheeks, and nose were red. "It's... A strong, nice feeling..." I finally got what she meant. When I touched between her wings, it was a bit pleasurable.
I felt my face get warm, a surge of shame coming up in me. "Sorry Fluttershy... I'll never do it again." I said quietly and I felt her place her hoof on my hand, making me look up in her eyes, a small smile on her muzzle her cheeks were a light pink.
"No! Not never... Just... Oh my gosh, this is really embarrassing." She meekly said, gently biting her lower lip. "Just don't touch me there without my consent ok?" I nodded, turning my attention to my breakfast. Fluttershy moved her plate next to me, and the pillow she intended to sit on as well. The table was at the right height for her to sit down and eat, so I as well had to sit. Our height was the same and I glanced at her as we started eating. She looked a little different, being the same height as me, I no longer had to look down just to see her.
I turned my attention back to my own breakfast when she pushed her plate towards mine, coming a bit into my field of view. I looked at Fluttershy, she was biting her lower lip, her eyes were wide, the pupil was bigger then normal as she lightly begged. I smiled and picked up a fork and started to feed her as well. "You are too cute Flutters..." After about ten minutes, we both finished and I picked up the plates and utensils then placed them into the sink.
As I washed the dishes, I heard a little thumping go behind me and Fluttershy spoke quietly. "Oh, good morning Angel, sleep well?" I turned my head to see a little white bunny, staring up at Fluttershy as she bent down to him. He looked really pissed off, his little arms crossed and he tapped his food. Fluttershy bit her lip, backing away a little. "Sorry Angel, me and Adam are dating now." He the said something I couldn't understand and pointed at me. "I know you like your part of the bed... But..." I felt something come up inside me, if that furry little bugger did anymore, he would regret it. He just frowned and spoke with more anger. "Angel! That's... How could you say such a thing! He is not!" She spoke with desperation, trying to back away a little but he grabbed her mane and tugged, saying something else. Fluttershy gasped, a tear falling from her eye. "Angel!" I moved in grabbing the furry little bastard by the scruff of his neck and picked him up to my face height.
"You listen here you little fuck ball! I don't understand you, but if you say anything about her again, you will regret it!" He smirked and said something, Fluttershy gasped again and spoke almost in a loud talking.
"Angel! You... You..." I then got pissed, knowing he crossed the line. I threw the fucker, his body hitting the wall across the room with a dull thud, a gasp from Fluttershy and she yelled a little louder. "Adam no!" He landed, his eyes narrowing at me and he hopped up on the counter, pulling a kitchen knife in his little paws. He was small, but strong and came quickly before slicing at mes. I blocked with my hand, a searing pain coming from the back of my hand and I pulled back, a large cut going from one side, to the other. I grabbed my hand for a second before I let go and swung at him, narrowly knocking him out, but I still hit him off the counter, the knife landing a couple feet away. This was now a fight for my life and I reached the knife first, my blood running down my hand and dripping to the floor as I picked it up.
He ran at me, and I grabbed him again, thrusting him onto the counter, pinning him down, his little arms pushing at my hand, his feet kicking wildly. "You fucker." And I brought the knife up when I heard a gasp, both of us looking at Fluttershy. She stared at us, my body going rigid, thoughts leaving my mind and it clouded up.
"Release him and put the knife back, now." She spoke with purpose, and I did just as she asked, my eyes never leaving her gaze. "Sit." I then sat down and she glanced at Angel. "You, go to your bed, and stay there until I come talk to you." The little devil nodded silently before hopping off towards the living room. "Adam." I didn't flinch, although I wanted to, a fear coming over me as she approached me, a warm liquid running down my hand. "Let me see your right hand." I lifted the hand she asked, her gaze going down, my thoughts returning to me and I felt real guilty.
I was so ashamed at my actions, I felt like crying. I had pissed Fluttershy off and almost killed her pet, my instincts took over in the moment. "I need to go... I'm sorry..." I tried to stand but she just stared at me again, that same feeling coming over me and I stopped.
"Sit down. You don't need to go anywhere." After a couple seconds of struggling against her command, I sat down. "It's not entirely your fault. He did pull the knife first, and you were protecting me and yourself." She then broke eye contact with me, her command still in me as I sat still while she walked off towards the sink. I wanted to move, but couldn't. "I don't like using my stare on anypony, sorry." She came back with a face cloth. "Clean it off, and I will get some bandages ok?" I couldn't look at her, a little scared she would stare at me again and I took it, placing it on the back of my hand and boy did it sting.
She left, her hooves clicking on the floor as she moved to the room over, I could faintly hear she was talking to her bunny. I turned my attention back to my hand, using the warm wet cloth to wipe the blood away. It wasn't deep, but it was long, stretching across my hand. After five minutes or so, she came back in the room, the little devil following behind her, his ears splayed down and he avoided eye contact. Once she stopped, he kicked at the ground, mumbling something and I looked at Fluttershy. I took a deep breath, putting my good hand towards him, one finger out more and I looked him in the eye. "I'm sorry." He looked surprised, glancing at the finger in front of him before he took it between his paws, saying something I couldn't understand.
"He says he's deeply sorry about everything, things just got out of hoof." I nodded as Fluttershy translated, seeing how she could communicate with animals better then anyone I knew. Once he apologized, he took off, leaving me and Fluttershy alone. "Alright... Let's get your hand bandaged up ok?" She had a roll of bandages in the tip of her left wing, holding it like fingers and she unrolled it with her teeth. It took a little bit, but soon I was wrapped up and didn't feel much pain. Once she finished I took a staggered breath before I threw my arms around her and started to tear up a little. She was too kind, I didn't deserve her at all. "Adam?" She spoke, clearly a little shocked and I just held her tighter.
"I... I don't deserve you." Was all I could think to say, her hooves going around my back, pointing down as she hugged me back. She gently shushed me as the guilt over took my emotions.
"It's ok Adam, it's ok... I'm still here for you, and I always will be." She whispered into my ear, her cheek rubbing mine gently, her soft coat felt nice against my bare skin. I took a couple deep breaths, calming down a bit and I never wanted this moment to end. Nobody ever cared about me, loved me. I was always scared, letting my emotions go always resulted in harsh punishment, but here I was, getting a hug from the kindest pegasus in the world. I felt her heave a little, a wetness rubbing off her cheek onto mine. I pulled back, looking at her face. She was crying herself, those big beautiful cyan eyes looking into my own, darker lines on her cheeks from her tears.
I leaned in and kissed her, feeling her soft lips on my own, that foreign rush running through my body again when they contacted. I didn't pull back though as I started to move my lips against hers, my left hand coming up to gently cup her cheek, my thumb caressing her face and I tilted my head to the side a little as her muzzle didn't let me kiss her very deep. Once I did that, I felt her tongue lick my lips, asking permission to enter, something that surprised me about her, she was taking the initiative. Once I opened my mouth, she pushed me onto my back making my eyes go wide as her tongue explored my mouth, her tongue rubbing against my sharper canines. I gave in, putting my hands on her sides and responded back to her. After a couple minutes of making out on her floor, she broke the kiss, pulling back with a very deep blush on her face and I was kinda winded from the sensation and my voice showed it. "Fluttershy. You are the kindest pony I have ever met." She blushed a little, her eyes going to the floor very cute like.
"Thanks." She glanced at the clock on the wall. "Well, we had better go shopping." Once she stood up and walked towards the door, I did the same, getting to my feet as I looked at the clock. It was only ten in the morning, plenty of time left for the day. I then walked to the door, putting my shoes on that I just got and stepped outside into the sun. I took a deep breath, taking in the scent of the outside world, the trees, the flowers, and all the critters that ran around was almost overwhelming. It was unlike the Human Empire, there... I don't even want to recall my experiences there anymore.
I walked towards the bridge where Fluttershy was waiting for me, her mouth forming a smile as I came closer. She was gently biting her lower lip, a small blush on her cheeks and I smiled, looking around. "Ready?" She nodded and I walked beside her, my hand soon coming to rest over her shoulder. "You don't mind do you?" I looked down at her, not wanting to make her uncomfortable.
"No, but when we get to town..." She trailed off, a feeling of sadness coming up in me.
"Yea, I know." I said sadly, making her nuzzle my thigh.
"It's just for now, until everypony else knows you mean no harm." I just nodded, gently rubbing her left shoulder as we walked down the path, her head resting on my hip and I felt happy... Happy... That was an emotion I hadn't felt in a long time, I could even recall the last time I felt happy.
It was many years ago, when I was just a little boy, the day that my father came home from years of being in war. I was happy, his arms hugging me tightly, tears of joy as we shared a moment, just the three of us. But it didn't last long. He had to leave the next day... And he never came back. "Daddy..." I whispered, caught up in my memories when I felt Fluttershy nuzzle me.
"Adam?" I snapped back, looking down into the innocent eyes of Fluttershy. "Are you ok?" I nodded, but I knew it wasn't very convincing. "We can talk later if you want." She then looked forward, taking a deep breath and left my side, going a couple feet from me as we exited the small forest and into the view of Ponyville. We walked in silence, both of us wanting the same thing, but we both knew what would happen if ponies found we were dating. Soon we arrived in the middle of Ponyville, the ponies that noticed me started, whispering among themselves and a bunch avoided me like I could kill one by just touching them. I hung my head, wanting to just turn around and leave but Fluttershy grabbed my left wrist in her mouth and pulled me. "Come on, it's ok." I followed her, my eyes looking around a little, every pony I made eye contact with, turned their head away from me.
"Fluttershy! There you are!" Fluttershy flinched as did I, I knew that voice as I turned and saw Twilight trot over to us, the rest of their friends coming around us. "We were looking all over for Adam." Fluttershy then, stepped forward, standing tall.
"I invited him for lunch, and he slept at my place last night." She was a bit more bold then I had ever seen her.
"Are you serious Fluttershy? We were worried he killed you!" Rainbow said, flying just above us and Fluttershy gasped and I winced.
"He would never hurt anypony." She shook her head, defending me, when the orange mare spoke up.
"Then what happened to his hand?" She pointed to my wrapped up hand, and I brought it up to touch it with my left hand.
"Yea, Applejack is right. He was fine yesterday." Rarity added, taking a step forward, the girls eyes on Fluttershy as they waited for an answer, ignoring me like I didn't exist. I then stepped forward and their eyes went to me.
"I was washing dishes and cut myself." I said, lying flawlessly and Fluttershy just nodded along. The orange mare then stared at me, it looked like she was trying to stare me down and I felt scared, taking a step back. "Don't you dare stare at me." I whispered loudly and they all stared at each other, Fluttershy's face turned red and she looked at the ground.
"Stare? What's wrong with her looking at you?" Twilight then went wide eyed. "Fluttershy! You didn't use the stare on him did you?" Hearing her say that, Fluttershy eeped and stared to breath a little heavier.
"Well... I... I... Yes, but..." She tried to explain herself and I felt the urge to defend her.
"I got in a little disagreement with Angel ok. But we're cool now." I moved closer to Fluttershy and she seemed to gain a bit of confidence. As I looked at her friends, they all just shrugged and my stomach growled, my left hand going to my stomach.
"Did you eat breakfast?" The pink one asked, and I nodded. She just smiled and hopped up and down. "You just need something sweet! Here!" She thrust something small and round in front of my eyes and I took it. It was a soft thing with pink stuff on the top.
"What's this?" I asked, really not knowing at all what it was, but the pink mare just looked shocked.
"It's a cupcake!" I still didn't change my expression and she looked a little sad. "You never had one before huh?" I shook my head and she just gasped. "Ohmygoshareyouserious!" I looked around before nodding and looked at the cupcake in my hand. I put it to my mouth and took a bite, the flavour flooded my mouth and I scarfed the rest of it down quickly.
"That was delicious... Uhh..." I drew a blank, I don't think I ever heard her name before and she just giggled.
"The names Pinkie Pie! And anytime you need your fix of sweets, come to Sugarcube Corner!" She then started bouncing on the spot with her eyes closed. I really didn't know what to do when she suddenly gasped and stopped, hovering in the air. "I didn't throw you a welcome to Ponyville party! "Igottogonowseeya!" She then rocketed off, leaving the rest of us to stand there, an eerie silence coming over us.
"Well, I need to do some shopping, come on Adam." Fluttershy took the opening as everypony else shook off Pinkies craziness. I just followed her, glad to be away from the pestering questions. Once we were away, I took a deep breath, letting my stress out. "Sorry about that, they really mean well."
I just gave a small smile and kept on walking. "I know, but some don't trust me at all..." And with that, I heard somepony call out behind us.
"Hey wait up!" I turned to see Rainbow flying towards us, and I felt a little nervous. I knew she didn't fully trust me. Once she caught up, she floated near us. "You mind if I tag along?" She asked Fluttershy, barely batting an eye my way. Fluttershy looked at me, obviously wanting to know if I was ok with it, I wasn't, but I didn't want to keep her friends away from her, not a great way to get on their good side.
"Adam, is it ok?" Rainbow raised and eyebrow and looked at me, our eyes locking in a stare. I just nodded, opting to keep my mouth shut for now. We just stared at each other for a minute or so, before she looked away first, a small grin coming over me as I won that stare down. Once Rainbow went a little ahead of us, I looked at Fluttershy, a disapproving look on her face and I just looked away in guilt.
We soon arrived in the market place, Fluttershy went around and bought a bunch of things that she needed, but I didn't pay much attention as I was lost in thought. This was going to be me and her, but Rainbow was ruining it, taking her attention away from me... Was I jealous? A little, mostly because I know she can't stand me, and that made me even more mad at her because she was doing it on purpose. We just continued walking, Fluttershy and Rainbow idly chit chatted, while I just hung back, looking around a little at the shops when something caught my eye, bringing back memories of my childhood.
"Now, put your ring finger on the third fret, and strum." My dad said, my entire focus on the strings of the guitar as I dragged the pick down the strings. "That is a D chord. Now together from what we learned, we can play a little song. Play it with me now. C, E, A, G." He played it once and I followed soon after, getting into it and he smiled and chuckled. "You're a natural son." He put his hand on my shoulder and shook it a little, I smiled, looking up at my father.
"Adam... What's wrong?" I snapped back, looking at a concerned looking Fluttershy, her gaze falling where mine was moments prior, and Rainbow just looked annoyed. "What were you looking at?" She walked up to the shops window, my cheeks getting warmer as she eyed the guitar in the window. "Is it this?" I walked next to her, looking at the little tag attached to it. Fifty bits it said, I had no money and no clue how much fifty bits was at all.
"Just looking, reminded me when my dad taught me to play it when I was a kid." She looked at me, then back to the guitar before walking past me, towards the door and grabbed my wrist in her mouth and dragged me inside. She wasn't surely going to buy it for me, right? To my dismay, she pulled me over to it and I just stood there, not knowing what to do.
"Can I hear you play it?" She asked and I nodded, delicately taking the guitar in hand and sat on a small stool. As I held it, it brought back memories of me playing my dads old guitar, waiting for him to come home so we could play again, but that day never came. I played the guitar after my finger was cut of so I changed my playing style and I took a couple test strums. I took a deep breath, I was pretty nervous but focused on the task at hand. I started playing some chords, getting into it more and more, my eyes going to Fluttershy. She was smiling, my foot tapping to the beat I set to keep me in time, and I smiled back. I almost felt like singing, when she beat me to it, her sweet voice started to come out, just coos and the like, but still it was something to hear that I didn't notice the owner or a couple customers looking on. After about five minutes, I hit a nice chord, ending our little song to the sound of stomping, making me turn my head to see five ponies stomping their hooves in applaud I guessed. I blushed and Fluttershy poked me in the leg, making me look down at her. "Do you want that?" I looked at the guitar and sighed.
"But it's expensive, you don't need to buy me this." I was about to put it back when she blocked my path.
"It doesn't matter, I have more then enough bits for it. Come on now." She nudged me towards the counter and I reluctantly went, putting the guitar on the counter and the mare behind the counter smiled at us. "I would like to purchase this please."
The mare smiled. "That will be fifty bits." Fluttershy then went to get her coin purse out when a grey mare stepped in.
"I will cover it." She put fifty bits on the table, my eyes looking over her. She looked very up kept, her coat was a nice grey colour, her mane was a dark grey, and very pretty. She looked up at me with her light mulberry eyes, a small smile on her muzzle. "The name is Octavia, Octavia Melody." She stuck her hoof to me and I took it after a couple seconds.
"Uhh, Adam, Adam Carloski." Once I introduced myself, I let go of her hoof, letting her put it back down onto the floor.
"I see you are quite a skilled guitar player." I blushed and nodded. "I am the leader of the Ponyville ensemble and would personally like to invite you to try out for it." She smiled hopefully, my heart skipping a beat and I looked down at Fluttershy and she gave me a small smile and nod.
"Yea, umm sure." I fumbled a bit with my words but she lit up in excitement.
"Wonderful! I have to get going now, but I will get in touch with you later. Bye Adam." She turned around before stopping. "Oh, I forgot to ask." She turned her head and tilted it as she looked me up and down. "Just what are you? If you don't mind me asking." I then bit my lower lip, when she noticed my uncomfortableness and just shook her head. "You can tell me later in private, bye bye." She waved a little and I did the same as she left. I looked down at a disproving look from Fluttershy.
I felt a little guilty and bent down to look at her on her level. "Fluttershy? What's up?" She then bit her lip and fidgeted a little, looking towards the door. "Oh." She must of felt almost challenged by Octavia and the way she spoke to me. I just hugged her tight, gently petting her back.
"Thanks, I really needed a hug." She whispered as we held the hug for a couple seconds before I let go and stood up, taking the guitar that the cashier put inside a soft bag. We walked out of the store to a wondering blue pegasus.
"And just what the heck was that?" She asked and I felt my cheeks flare as I shook my head.
"Just a friendly hug Rainbow." She narrowed her eyes at me and blew her hair out of her face.
"Yea right, that lasted way to long, what's going on here?" I didn't say anything, my gaze going down to Fluttershy and she looked at me.
"N- Nothing Rainbow, we're just friends!" She looked back to the accusing glare of Rainbow Dash and she got up in my face.
"If you don't tell me, I will go to Twilight and she will find out!" I gasped, taking a step back before I took two forward, getting in her own face, her muzzle pressing against my nose.
"Fine, you bitch. We're dating, and if you don't like it, you can shove it Rainbow! You have been hating me ever since I got here, you are the most judgemental pony in all of Ponyville!" She then landed, her jaw open wide as I went off on her, bending down to her so I could look her in the eyes. "You have gone out of your way to make me uncomfortable, make me feel hated, an outcast, and a monster. But you're wrong Rainbow." She then took a step back and I took one forward, keeping her close to me. "I have feelings too. I can love, have sympathy. I can forgive and forget, but you still hold a grudge against me for doing nothing at all, but being me." I then spat on the ground, barring my teeth a little and spoke with the most hatred I could muster. "You fucking racist." She gasped, taking a couple steps back when I stood up, looking down at her. Her shocked look, turned to one of devastation, tears welling up in her eyes and she struggled to speak.
"Well... Well... You can..." I felt a twinge of guilt come up in me as I came down from my anger, I have never gone off on anybody before, let alone a girl. "You fucking jerk!" She was crying, tears running from her magenta eyes and she turned around and took off flying, leaving me and Fluttershy there. I felt a pain in my heart. I did want to be friends with her, but she stopped me at every intersection, friendship isn't a one way street. I turned and walked past Fluttershy.
"I'm sorry." Was all I said as I walked away, needing some time to myself and I went out of Ponyville, and towards an apple orchard. I arrived in the out most part of the tree line. I put my forehead against the tree I was near, and felt the guilt and shame come over me from my actions. I then put my hands on the tree before my anger sparked and I slammed my head into it over and over. "Stupid." Slam. "Stupid!" Slam. "Stupid!" I then hit again, before I fell back, holding my head in pain, and I groaned. "Stupid fucking idiot!" I felt a warm sensation run over my fingers, pulling my right hand back as I looked at the crimson blood dripped from them and onto my shirt. I sat up, no more anger going through me, just sadness. I flipped at Rainbow, and more likely then not, severely disappointed Fluttershy. I felt tears fall from my eyes, my body moving a little as I struggled to hold them back, sniffing lightly. "Rainbow... I'm sorry..." I then remember that look Fluttershy gave me when I left, one of complete shock and I felt even more guilt. "I love you Fluttershy" I whispered to myself and I sat there for a couple more minutes when a voice snapped me back.
"Sugarcube?" I heard a southern accented voice say from behind me and I turned around to see Applejack standing behind me, her eyes widening as she saw my blood face. "What happened?" She trotted over to me, looking at my face.
"I just vented my anger on the tree over there. Hope I didn't hurt it." She shook her head, putting her hoof on my shoulder.
"It's a tree, it's plenty strong, what happened to make ya do somethin like that?" I stood up, a little dazed and she put her hoofs on my chest, keeping me standing. "Here, let's get ya back home, and ya can tell me everythin." I shook my head, my only desire was to see Fluttershy.
"I have to see Fluttershy... I need to Applejack." I looked at the country pony, to a gaze that seemed to go into my soul. After a couple seconds of eye contact she smiled, her emerald green eyes twinkling a little.
"I hope you two are happy together." Was all she said as she walked away, leaving me dumbfounded. She looked back and giggled. "I will keep it a secret for now sugarcube, go on and see your special somepony." She then continued to walk away, my brain trying to figure out how she pieced together how me and Fluttershy were dating.
"Adam?" I tensed up, my heart skipping a beat as her sweet voice made me shiver a little. Fluttershy... She must of been standing there for a little while, tears coming from her own eyes and I fell to my knees, both of us lost in each others eyes before she ran at me and threw her hooves around my neck.
"Fluttershy I love you... I'm so sorry. I won't ever do that again. Please forgive me." I said to her, my hands rubbing her back as she cried into my neck, lightly heaving. We sat like that for a couple minutes, her crying becoming more quiet and she finally stopped, her body wiggling into mine, trying to get closer to me. After a while, she fell limp in my arms, leading me to believe she was asleep, and rather then wake the sleeping pegasus, I stood up, cradling her in my arms as I headed for home.
She shifted lightly in my arms, nuzzling into my neck as the cool night breeze came over us and I felt her shiver. The only thing I had to cover her up with was my own shirt, and I owed her one. So after a couple minutes of fumbling, I managed to get my shirt onto Fluttershy, and damn... She looked cute. I smiled and gave her a gentle peck on the cheek before resuming the walk home. After a couple minutes, I started to shiver myself, I had no coat to help keep in warmth like Fluttershy did but I ignored the cool wind nipping my exposed skin. I hurt her, and I had to make it up to her.
I soon arrived at her... Scratch that. OUR house and quickly got inside. My arms were a bit numb from carrying her in the cool night, but the warmth of the house soon made the cold feeling go away. "Adam..." I froze as her voice touched my ears, my gaze going to the couch, the blue pegasus laid there, her eyes were red a little and dark streaks were on her cheeks. Our eyes connected, her gaze was a little hard, but mine was soft, filled with guilt and she noticed it as her own softened.
"Listen, Rainbow... I... I..." I looked down at the sleeping mare in my arms. "I will tuck her in, then we can talk." Rainbow remained silent as I walked up the stairs behind her. I reached the top and went to our room the door opening with a quiet creak, the floor lightly clicking under my shoes as I made my way over to the bed and placed Fluttershy onto the bed. "Sweet dreams Fluttershy." I kissed her gently on the lips, her mouth forming a little smile and she rolled towards me, nuzzling into my stomach. It took a lot to leave her, but I had to talk to Rainbow, so I made my way back down stairs. Once I reached the living room again, I took a seat across from Rainbow in a chair. "Listen, about today..."
I started but she put her hoof up, silencing me. "Adam, I'm sorry. How I acted, I'm sorry. I just was really worried about Fluttershy, she is my best friend, I knew her since Flight School, and she had already been hurt by a stallion before..." She tried to explain and I just stood up, walking over to her and bent down by the couch.
"I completely understand. I had too much on me already and I just snapped." I then looked directly into her eyes. "I'm sorry too Rainbow Dash. I want to fit in a little, live here, with Fluttershy. My own home is the epitome of hell. This place, is the place I want to live forever. I have not been outcasted, harmed, or tried to be killed here, which is saying a lot. My whole live consisted off trying to live day to day." She teared up a little, my hand going to her cheek and I cut my story off. "Anyways, I hope you can forgive me, and we can start off on a clean slate, would you like that?" She smiled, sniffing and slowly nodded. "Alright then. My name is Adam Carlsoki, pleased to meet you miss." I moved my hand from her cheek so she could place her hoof in it.
And she did just that. "I'm Rainbow Dash, number one flier in all of Equestria." She grinned and I then hugged her tightly, her hooves going around me before I broke it after about ten seconds. "I like you Adam." I tilted my head as if to ask 'how'. "You are a pretty laid back guy, trying to keep out of conflict, but you're not afraid to stand up. Nopony has ever stood up to me like that before, and honestly, it scared me a little." She smiled. "Just don't do it again, or I will come back at ya." She then lightly hit my arm with her hoof.
"I wouldn't dream of angering, or scaring my friends Rainbow. Now get some sleep, you can crash here for the night." I then stood up, walking to a closet close by and found a blanket and pillow inside. I then gave her both, her mouth forming a smile as she took them. "Good night Rainbow." I then walked to the stairs, starting my ascension when she spoke.
"Good night Adam, and thanks." I smiled to myself and made it the rest of the way upstairs. Once I reached the bedroom again, a smile came over me. There laying on the bed dressed in my shirt, the moon light seemed to be painted onto the bed as well as her face.
"Fluttershy..." I muttered, taking my shoes off and I stripped to my boxers, wanting to get more comfortable and I was sure she wouldn't mind at all. I walked the bed, Fluttershy was laying with all her limbs spread out, and I felt my face warm up, my gaze going down her body, but a little to my dismay, her privates were covered by her tail. I wonder what she looks like down there... I moved closer, getting into the bed and she rolled over, clutching to my body and I just ran my hand down her back, resting just above her rump, my fingers gently rubbing her as I felt my body go numb and I soon fell asleep.
