Sunday (August 21st)
I woke up to the smell of Fluttershy's hair.
I opened my eyes to see her sleeping in my arms. It took me a second to remember why she was in the bed with me.
I could not get out of bed without waking her up. My arms were around her in a hug. I was uncomfortable, but I also liked it. I did not know why.
I did not want to wake her up. She looked very happy.
I waited until she woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at me. Her eyes were very wide when she looked at me for a few seconds. Her face got very red after that.
"I'm sorry, Light. I shouldn't have done that." She sat up and looked at me. "Here, why don't I go make us some breakfast before I do the morning chores?" She got out of the bed very quickly. She went out of the room and I heard her walk down the stairs.
"That was weird." I told myself. Did I do something wrong? Was I supposed to wake her up? Was I not supposed to hold her?
I got out of the bed and got dressed in some comfortable clothes. Today was Sunday. I would not be doing anything today. I was still sore from all the wounds, but it was not very bad.
I walked downstairs and found Fluttershy in the kitchen. She was already halfway done with breakfast.
I sat down at the table. A few minutes later, she made our plates. She sat down and we started eating.
"Did I do something wrong? You seemed scared when you woke up." I asked her.
"I...um...I don't really want to talk about it." She answered. I did do something wrong.
I looked down at my breakfast and started eating again.
We finished a few minutes later. She brought our plates to the sink and started working on her chores. She had gotten a new stool and table when I was sick so she could use those.
I tried to help her, but she would not let me. She kept saying to stop and let her do it. What had I done wrong? Why was Fluttershy angry with me? I could not answer these questions. I did not like this.
When she was done, it was noon.
We were sitting down on the couch watching the animals play.
I wanted to know what I did wrong. "Do you not like me? Did I do something wrong?" I asked her.
She seemed surprised. "Why would you think that, Light? I like you very much." She said.
"Did I do something wrong?" I asked her. I noticed she had not answered it.
"No, you didn't do anything wrong...I...was the one who did something wrong." She answered.
"What did you do wrong?" I asked her. She was confusing me.
"I shouldn't have forced you to let me sleep with you. It wasn't very nice of me. I just wanted...t-to have you h-h-hold m-m-m-me." She said the last few words very quietly as she looked away from me.
"Why would you want me to hold you?" I asked her. I did not understand at all.
"I don't really know why. Ever since I met you, I've had more confidence. But I overstepped my bounds. You obviously don't like me the way I thought you did." What did she mean by that?
"I like you very much, Fluttershy." She smiled when I said this.
"I know. Thank you, Light." She crawled over to me and laid her head on my arm. She sighed a happy sigh.
I wanted to say something, but she looked very happy. I did not want to make her sad.
Monday (August 22nd)
It was morning as I walked to the Spa. Fluttershy said she had explained every thing to Lotus while I was sick. She said that I would still be able to get the job if I proved I could do it.
I walked to the building and entered.
Lotus was behind the counter.
"Hello, Lotus. I am Light. I am here about the job." I told her. She smiled when she saw me.
"Sure thing. Follow me please." She walked out from behind the desk and started walking down a hallway to the left of the counter.
"The job is pretty simple. Aloe and I have a lot of products we use here and we have a hard time getting it where we need to, without taking dozens of trips. With you, we can carry the crates and just sort everything out in one run for one product, maybe two depending on the size of the crates and how much you can carry. We could also use your help in fixing things around the Spa if you are any good with your hands. It pays pretty high since it clears up our schedule like you would not believe, so you don't have to come in every day. Usually, there won't be something for you to do everyday anyways. You will be working until you feel like leaving, unless five o'clock roles around. If you are here till five, just stop what you're doing and head on home. Aloe and I have things we do at night that are part of the magic. We get new shipments of a different products and accesories throughout the week since we go through so much, so you coming in during the week really helps. You'll be paid daily for the work you did on that day. We are closed on Sundays and only open till two on Saturdays. Did you get all that?" She asked me. It was hard to take it all in. I asked her to explain it all once more and she did.
As we were walking, she pointed out the different rooms and other employees that worked in the Spa. We eventually came upon the loading dock where the crates of 'products' were kept.
"Alright. Fluttershy told me about your little mishap, so I won't work you too hard. For today, we need some scented shampoo delivered to the bathhouses and to a few of the massage rooms. Usually, either Aloe or I will be with you to help you along until you get the hang of where everything goes. If you can't find either of us, Honey Scent is pretty knowledgable of the place so just ask her. She has golden hair and pink skin. The shampoo crate is right over there." She pointed to a smaller crate near the bay door.
I went over and picked it up. It was not very heavy, but I could feel my muscles yelling at me to put it down. It was heavier than Fluttershy, but I carried it anyway. It smelled very bad. Lotus said the shampoos, alone, smelled nice but that their scents were not meant to be mixed.
It took us about an hour to sort all the shampoos into their places. Lotus said this usually took all day for two crates instead of around five a day with the pace we were going at.
She only let me do one crate today, but let me explore and get a feel for the Spa.
I looked around for a few hours and when my stomach rumbled, I decided it was time to go back to Fluttershy's cottage.
It looked to be about one when I said goodbye to Lotus at the front desk. On my way out, she handed me my pay with thirty bits inside. She was right, it did pay well.
I started walking to the cottage but stopped at the post office.
I walked in and up to the counter. A blond mare was sitting behind the counter. "Excuse me, I came here to pick up the mail for Fluttershy. I have been living with her for a few weeks and we sent my sister a letter." I explained to her.
She nodded. Her eye looked really awesome. One eye was always on me while the other was where her hands usually were.
She walked over to a cubby hole and pulled out a few envelopes. She walked back over to me and handed me them.
"Thank you." She nodded again.
I turned around and walked out the door. I started looking through them to see if my sister had replied.
I was very happy to see her writing on one of the envelopes.
I rushed back to the cottage and found Fluttershy reading a book on the couch.
"She replied." I told her with a smile.
"Your sister?" She asked. I nodded.
"That's great. What did she say?" She asked me.
"I do not know. I have not opened it yet." I sat down and handed her the rest of the letters. She put them on her table.
I opened the envelope and started reading.
Hello baby brother,
I'm glad you are feeling better, but I'll still be coming down to check on you. From what you said, you got beat up pretty bad. I also can't wait to meet this mare you mentioned. Give her the ol sister test to see if she's up to snuff. I doubt she isn't, you picked her after all. I'll probably be arriving on Tuesday so be ready. I'll be staying with you for a night or two to make sure you're all right. Better have a bed ready for me!
Your big sister,
Stella Weight
"Pick you? I did not pick your for anything. And what is a sister test? Oh well, sister has always been, as she would like to say, 'cryptic'."
Fluttershy was turning red again. "Your sister's name is Stella?"
"Yes. She would always say, Dad named her and Mom named me. Dad was always weird." I told her.
"It's good that she cares about you, but I only have one guest bedroom. Where will she sleep?" Fluttershy asked me. I did not know why, this was her house.
"Sister likes to be comfortable, so she can have my bed. I will sleep somewhere else." I told her.
She looked like she wanted to ask me something, but she did not say anything.
"What do you want to do for the rest of the day?" Fluttershy asked.
"Can we do more 'Physical therapy'. The crate was kind of small but it was a lot heavier than you. I want to be able to pick up the big crates without a problem." I answered.
"We can do that." She got up from the couch and I did to. We went out to the backyard where I could practice different ways of picking her up. She was one of the heaviest things, so it was her or a bear.
Tuesday (August 23)
Fluttershy and I were waiting at the train station for sister.
We had been here about an hour by the time sister's train came in.
When she walked off, I called to her.
"It's very obvious that you two are siblings." Fluttershy said as sister walked over. She was right. Sister and I looked a lot alike. The only difference was that I was a stallion, and she was a mare. She was about the same size as Fluttershy for almost everything. Sister always looked like she was ready for business in a maresuit.
"Hello, Light. I'm so happy to see my little brother. Come give sister a hug." She held out her arms and I picked her up. I hugged her tightly. It felt good to see sister again.
"Okay, Light. That's a little too tight." She said. I put her down. She smoothed out her skirt and hair.
"You must be the mare. I'm his sister, Stella." She held out a hand. Fluttershy took it. "F-fluttershy."
"Oh, you're a quiet one aren't you? Why don't we go back to Light's place and talk." Sister said.
"Actually, I live with Fluttershy. She is Rain's sister. They do not have apartments here that I could have stayed at. so I had to stay with Fluttershy." I told her.
She smiled at Fluttershy, and Fluttershy smiled back.
We started walking towards the cottage and arrived about twenty minutes later.
When we walked in the door, sister started checking me over. She had a frown on her face as she felt all the gashes and new scars.
"What did this to you, brother?" She asked in a quiet voice.
"Fluttershy called them Timber wolves." I told her. Sister hugged me. I felt my shirt get wet where her eyes were.
"It is alright. I am okay." I told her. I wrapped my arms around her.
"How did it happen?" She asked when she pulled away. She wiped the tears out of her eyes.
We all sat down on the couch. Fluttershy told the story since I could not. I did not want to think about Rosebush.
Sister got really angry whenever Fluttershy mentioned Rosebush.
After the story was done, sister did not say anything, she just looked me up and down.
We stayed like this for awhile. Sister soon became happy again, but she still looked a little worried.
"Fluttershy, I need to check something. Could you stand up?" Fluttershy nodded, she looked scared.
"I assume you know what's next?" Sister asked. Fluttershy nodded again and spread her wings.
Sister grabbed Fluttershy's chest and she squeeked. Her face was really red. Sister turned her around and grabbed her bottom then ran her hands up along Fluttershy's hips. Then she grabbed the base of her wings. She ran her hands along the tops. Then she turned her around and started feeling her face with her hands.
After she was done, Fluttershy looked like she wanted to feint. It all happened in the blink of an eye. I could not stop it.
"I approve the body." Sister said.
"Why would you do that, sister? Fluttershy gets uncomfortable very easily. And what did you approve her body for?" I asked her. She was being very rude.
"Oh Light, I wish I could tell you everything, but I am assuming Fluttershy doesn't want me to do that. You'll learn in due time, if not by the next heat if you two are still in the same room." What was heat?
"What is heat?" I asked her. Fluttershy looked very surprised. "All in due time brother, all in due time." I did not like it when she did not answer my questions. She called it being 'cryptic', I called it being rude.
"Why don't we have some fun on the town. I want to meet this Rosebush." Sister sounded very angry. Before Fluttershy or I could say anything, she walked out the door.
We followed her. "Light, stay right here beside me." She pointed to a spot a little bit in front of her.
"Okay." I did not understand.
We walked through the town for a few hours, not talking. It was very boring. About suppertime, we ran into Rosebush. I saw her before Fluttershy. I missed a step and tripped a little.
"So that's her, huhn?" She nodded to Rosebush. I did not say anything, sister was scary when she was angry. She nodded and walked towards Rosebush. She was leaning over some of her flowers behind her stall.
Sister walked up behind her and slammed her hand right next to Rosebush's head, startling her.
Rosebush turned around. "Who do you think you...are..." She did not finish her sentence. I felt myself frowning. She looked at sister, then at me. Her eyes grew wide. I think she had noticed something.
"So you do see the resemblence." Rosebush nodded.
"Good, then I think you know why I'm here?" She nodded again.
"Peachy. Now I'm only going to say this once: Touch my brother, hell, look at my brother again and you won't have to worry about controlling yourself during the next heat. Do you understand me?" Rosebush looked very pale. After a little while, she nodded.
"Fantastic." Sister walked back over towards Fluttershy and I. "Let's go get supper, my treat." She said.
I just nodded. You do not argue with sister when she is like this.
We walked to a restuarant in the center of town called the hay bucket. When we walked inside, sister gave the clerk her bank card and he seated us.
Sister told us to order what ever we wanted. I ordered my usual large steak with potatoes and carrots and a large glass of water. Fluttershy ordered a salad and sister ordered a sandwhich with everything on it.
We ate in silence. I did not want to set off sister.
About a half hour later, we were done and heading back to Fluttershy's cottage.
"So where am I sleeping?" Sister asked as we walked in the door.
"I only have two beds so somepony will probably have to share one." Fluttershy answered.
"Well, why doesn't Light bunk?" Sister said.
"You want to sleep in the same bed with your brother?" Fluttershy asked.
"What? No. I mean bunk with you." Sister winked. Fluttershy turned red once again. She really needed to go to a doctor.
"I do not think that would be-" I started.
"I'm fine with it." Fluttershy said. Why would she be fine with it? It would be very inappropriate. That is what mom always said.
"That settles it." Sister clapped her hands together. "I will sleep in Light's bed, and Light will sleep with Fluttershy. Alright, time for bed. Chop chop little brother, you missed today so you have to work extra hard tomorrow." Sister said.
"But-" I tried.
"No buts about it brother, time for bed." Sister said. She was trying to push me up the stairs.
"Fine, sister." I told her. She was not going to let me say no.
I went up the stairs but stopped at the top and looked back down. I was about to try and tell them no again but I stopped.
At the bottom of the stairs, sister and Fluttershy were talking. I could not hear them at all. They hugged and then Fluttershy started up the stairs. I was very shocked to see this. I just decided to get tonight over with.
I went over to Fluttershy's bedroom and started getting ready for bed. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I went back to the room and took off my shirt while Fluttershy went to the bathroom in her pajamas. I climbed under the covers and faced away from the other side of the bed.
Fluttershy soon came in and turned out the lights. I felt weird like this. I felt her climb under the covers.
I tried very hard to fall asleep, but I could not.
Soon, I felt Fluttershy's hand on my side. It slid up to my chest, stopping at every scar it hit. Fluttershy let out a happy sigh. I could feel her squeezing against my back.
I felt extremely rude, but I liked it. I liked it a lot. So I ignored the feeling of rudeness and enjoyed the feeling of Fluttershy on my back.
Fluttershy
Stella, Light, and I were currently walking back from the hay bucket. Light looked like he didn't want to be next to his sister right now, and I was behind them.
When we got to my cottage, Stella asked where she was going to sleep.
"I only have two beds so somepony will probably have to share one." I answered.
"Well, why doesn't Light bunk?" Stella asked me. I was surprised.
"You want to sleep in the same bed with your brother?"
"What? No. I mean bunk with you." Stella winked at me. I could tell what she was doing. I could feel my face heat up in embarassment. I really didn't like that I did it this much around Light. I was pretty sure he thought something was wrong with me.
"I do not think that would be-" Light started.
"I'm fine with it." I interupted him. I didn't know why I did, but I just knew that Stella was giving me a chance.
"That settles it." Stella clapped her hands together. "I will sleep in Light's bed, and Light will sleep with Fluttershy. Alright, time for bed. Chop chop little brother, you missed today so you have to work extra hard tomorrow."
"But-" Light tried to say something.
"No buts about it brother, time for bed." Stella cut him off. She was trying to push him up the stairs.
"Fine, sister." He finally relented.
When he started going up the stairs, Stella turned to me.
"You are a nice mare, Fluttershy. I trust you with my brother however, there are some things I need to talk with you about before I let you have him all to yourself. You are the first mare he has ever come this far with, please don't mess it up. I have given you a chance to increase your standing with him, use it." She whispered to me.
"T-thank y-you, Stella." I said. She pulled me into a hug and I turned and started up the stairs.
When I got to my room, Light was coming out of it in his pajama bottoms and his shirt. He walked to the bathroom.
I went inside and changed into my own pajamas and waited for him to come out. When I heard his hoofsteps, I got up from the bed and passed him in the hallway. I did my nightly routine and joined him in the room.
I turned out the lights and slid under the covers.
'Should I really do this? Can I do this?' I asked myself. I had never been very confident, but wasn't Light worth it?
After about half an hour of debating, I noticed Light was still awake.
'He must feel uncomfortable' I thought to myself.
I didn't think he would ever take the initiative to court me. I didn't think he understood the concept. I would have to be the one to bring this into the next stage.
I moved my hand to his hip. I felt him tense up considerably. I started sliding my hand towards his chest, stopping at every scar and miniscule gash still left.
'I caused this, it's only right that I love him for it.' I told myself.
My hand found his pectoral and I pulled myself to him. He tensed up even more, but, eventually, he relaxed into it. I let out a contented sigh and fell asleep against his strong back.
I had never felt more safe.
A/N: Unless otherwise stated, always assume it's Light's POV. I just thought it would be a nice change of pace to get into Fluttershy's head for a few hundred words. Some of you may be wondering where angel bunny is. Fuck angel bunny. See ya on the flip side.
