That next morning, Cobalt was left laying on the floor again. He had no idea what to do again for the day, even for his sister visiting.

So, we're in the same predicament today as we were yesterday. Makes you think right? Now that I actually have friends to hang out with, I have no idea what to do to hang out. Actually, how would I hang out with my friends. I know yesterday counts as something, but there comes a day where wecan't do that. Hm...

"Cobalt, stop talking out loud..."

"Sorry Emerald...," Cobalt slipped out his phone to check the time.

9:24... that's a weird time to be thinking in the morning. Man, I have to do something today... I forgot to charge my phone. Perhaps Ishould text one of the girls to see if they would like to hang out. Who though?

Cobalt scrolled through his 6 contacts, and sighed.

You know that I only have the girls, and my mom's number. I still have to get my sister's number. Hey, at least by then, I'll have 7 contacts. Hm, I'll text... Fluttershy. Actually, shedmight being helping at the animal shelter today. Wait, it's Sunday. Is the animal shelter open today? I'lltext her just to be sure.

Cobalt began to text her. The message just said: Hey Fluttershy, do you wanna hang out or do something today?

He soon heard the notification sound along with a little yelp from outside his apartment, "Fluttershy?" Cobalt asked from inside his apartment.

"Hi Cobalt... I uh... got your text..."

"I can hear that. Here," Fluttershy hears Cobalt mess around with the locks, and opened the door, "come on in. Don't stand out there. I don't trust my neighbors..."

"Ok...," Fluttershy walked into Cobalt's apartment, and just stood there.

"Come on, have a seat."

Fluttershy looked around, and shook her head, "I'm fine, thank you."

"Uh, sit here," Cobalt pushed his sister over, causing her to yelp in shock, "Nobody's sleeping here right now."

That's when his sister leaped up and put him in a chokehold, "Nobody's sleeping here, huh? Well, nobody is now!" Fluttershy looked on as the two siblings played around, "Come on, just like old times. Say uncle!"

"Get off me!" Cobalt broke free, and put her in an arm bar, "Now you say it!"

"Never!" Cobalt tightened his grip by pulling her arm back more causing her to tap the ground, "Alright, I give! Uncle!" Cobalt let go of her arm, and sat his sister up.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, this is normal for us," Cobalt calmly placed his arm around his sister shoulder, and brought her closer to him, "We're... really close..."

"Oh..."

"Yeah, Cobalt and I are like husband and wife!"

"No, more like best friends. Don't say that... it's weird."

"Alright then..., but why are you here today Fluttershy?"

"I wanted to hang out... with Cobalt..."

"Oh, a little date I see...," Emerald added a wink as she pushed her brother towards Fluttershy. Cobalt stopped directly in front of her, they were about an inch away from each other. A bright red blush formed along her cheeks at their close proximity of each other, "Go have fun you two, but not too much fun!" Emerald added another wink with her statement.

"Shut up Emerald. I still have to get ready, so just wait a little here so I can get ready."

"Ok..."

Cobalt grabbed some clothes from his drawer, a towel, and entered his bathroom. Fluttershy stared at the bathroom until Emerald called out to her, "So, you like my brother? Even after only a week of him being at CHS?" Fluttershy didn't respond as Emerald chuckled, "It makes sense you know? From what I've heard from Rarity, Cobalt is a real charmer. Has he done anything that has peaked your interest in him?"

"Oh, it's uh..."

-3 days ago-

Well, today won't be the first time Cobalt and I have hung out. About 3 days ago, I showed to our local animal shelter that I do volunteer work at. Cobalt told he loves animals due to all the ones in his old home.

That's right, he would always feed or take care of any animal he came across in the mountains.

Well, when I showed him the animal shelter, I could tell he could handle animals better than I ever could. It was almost as if he could understand everything they said, as if... he was an animal himself.

Cobalt was petting a dog and smiling as Fluttershy looked on, "Yeah? I see, that makes sense. I didn't know there were people like that around here...," Cobalt was speaking to the dog as if it was a normal human being.

Fluttershy stared at Cobalt in amazement, "That certain dog... always looked at everyone with displeasure, but he's looking at Cobalt as if he was his best friend..."

"This dog is amazing. I wish I could keep him, but my apartment doesn't allow animals. Which kind of sucks, but understandable."

From what I saw, he could make any animal his friend if he just communicates with it properly...

I thought you could do the same. Can you not?

I can, but not all animals can see eye to eye with me. Trust me, I've tried..., but this wasn't the exact reason I fell for him. You see, later that day, when were about to part ways from each other, Cobalt asks.

"I think I should walk you home Fluttershy," Fluttershy stiffened up and looked at Cobalt with a blush on her face.

"W-What?"

"Actually, I don't think I should walk you home. I will walk you home. No objections!"

After he said, he made the bold decision to grab my hand, and take me the way to my home. I didn't understand why, but it's what happened on the way to my home that made me fall for him.

Are you stalling because you would probably be in a state of euphoria if you talked about that specific moment?

Yes, but I must tell you why. As we were walking back to my house, a former student of CHS was on the other side of the street, and he took notice of me.

Former?

He was expelled due to vandalism, and trespassing on school property. But I knew that he had a huge crush on me. As for I, I never like him for his behavior. I've told him this before, yet he tries to make moves on me. He took notice of Cobalt, and grew angry.

"Yo Fluttershy, who the hell is this?"

"H-He's my-."

"I thought I told you we were an item!" The young teen attempted to reach for Fluttershy's arm, but Cobalt quickly grabbed the teen's arm, stopping him in his tracks, "What the hell?"

"Why don't you let her finish? Or better yet, just leave. Can't you see she wants to go home?"

"And who are you suppose to be?"

"If you'd let her finish, she could've told you. But from the looks of it, you seem like an incompetent, wannabe-hoodlum who thinks it's fine to do this type of stuff to a girl. Hehe, but I should tell you who I-," Before Cobalt could finish, the teen attempted to punch him, but again, Cobalt blocked the punch, and put the teen into a triangle choke hold, "I thought you wanted to know who I was. Now this is just getting ridiculous..."

"Let me go!"

"You want me to choke you harder? Ok, it's your funeral!" Cobalt tightened his grip on the teen, causing the boy to groan in pain, "Huh, I guess I'm not choking you hard. You really should barely be making any sounds right now..."

I wanted to stop him, but something within me just didn't let me.

Did you eventually stop him?

Well, not exactly.

The teen was now laid out cold on the ground as Cobalt dusted himself off, "What we learn?" He waited for an answer, and Cobalt nodded, "That's what I thought," He looked at Fluttershy, and bowed, "Sorry you had to see that..."

He usually bows at teachers or at other adults the way he did to me. His bow seemed so...

Genuine?

Yes...

-Present Day-

"That's what made me fall for him. He doesn't want us to be harmed in any sort of way, and is extremely genuine with all of his gestures of kindness. He doesn't do it because he has to... he does it because he wants to..."

"And that's why you fell for him? Huh..."

"Is there a problem. I hope you aren't mad at me for being in love with your brother..."

"No, it's not that, it's just... I know the reason he's doing this..."

"You do?"

"Yes, but," Emerald was about to continue before Cobalt walked out of the bathroom all dressed, and ready to head out, "Oh there you are Cobalt. It's not good to keep a lady waiting."

"Oh be quiet. Ready to go Flutters?"

"Oh, onto nicknames now are we?"

"Shut up Emerald!"

"You first!"

"No, you first!"

The two siblings continued going back and forth as Fluttershy continued staring at Cobalt. She smiled, and held her heart, "Well, I must keep our agreement. I can't make any moves on him... until that 3 month mark passes..."
