Fluttershy brought Saxo inside and sat him down on the sofa. She sat in the one across, but couldn't meet his eyes. She didn't want to ruin things even more than she already thought she did.
"Fluttershy..." said Saxo. "I..."
"No..." said Fluttershy. "Please... tell me I haven't ruined our friendship..."
"What? No! You could never-"
Fluttershy's eyes welled up with tears.
"I don't want you to hate me..."
He stood up. "I don't hate you, Shy..."
He hugged her and her heart skipped a beat. She wanted him. But did he feel the same way?
She broke the hug to look into his eyes. His loving gaze. His black mane.
He wasn't sure if he loved her more, or Octavia. He... had to find out...
He kissed her more lovingly this time. He closed his eyes while she kept hers open in shock. Her heart melted and her eyes closed in bliss. They kissed for a full minute before they pulled away to breath. Fluttershy looked up at Saxo who remained with his goofy smile.
She didn't know where to go from there. She was inexperienced and thought she was doing well so far...
So she just hugged him. It's abruptness took Saxo by surprise, but he relaxed again. Only this close, cuddling with Fluttershy, did he notice her sweet scent. She smelled like Cinnamon. Or powder? His senses were overwhelmed. She was so warm...
They stayed like that for what seemed like half an hour. Eyes closed. Enjoying each other's company.
Octavia stepped in the shower as she contemplated what just happened. Saxo sure left in a hurry.
Sighing as she let the hot water massage her neck, she exhaled and thought of Saxo. She wanted to see him again. To feel his touch.
She dried off and winced at the complete mess in her living room. Wine bottles littered the floor as well as stains, music equipment, and food.
Octavia sighed. "Better get to cleaning I guess..."
Fluttershy and Saxo pulled away from the hug, still staring into each other's eyes.
"Do you... want to go upstairs...?" asked Fluttershy timidly.
Saxo was a bit surprised.
"Lead the way." he said chuckling.
Octavia entered Rarity's boutique for an inquiry on where Saxo might be.
"Hello Rarity," she said entering, "Do you know where Saxo is?"
Rarity looked up from her nap. "Well, it seems as if i'll never get sleep. He should be over at Fluttershy's cottage."
Octavia paused. "Fluttershy's cottage? Why is he there?"
Rarity was still groggy. "I dunno darling, just go find them and let me sleep..."
Octavia left Rarity and headed for the boutique.
"Why is he with Fluttershy? Hm..."
Octavia decided to ask him tomorrow. She had to practice on her double bass. She'd get answers tomorrow.
Soon after, Fluttershy and Saxo went to see a movie and hang out at Twilight's library.
"So then I say," said Rainbow Dash, "Fine, but don't expect me to pay for the damages!"
Everypony laughed. Fluttershy snuggled up close to Saxo. They shared warmth and company, and smiled.
"That reminds me. Saxo, Octavia was looking for you earlier." said Rarity.
Saxo looked up. "Why?"
"I don't know, but I told her you were at Fluttershy's cottage."
"She never showed up..." said Fluttershy.
"She'll probably find you tomorrow."
Octavia got into bed, wishing Saxo was there with her. She slept with the intention that she would see him tomorrow.
"It will be just us..." she whispered as she fell asleep.
Saxo awoke up back at Rarity's boutique. He smiled when he remembered his encounter with Fluttershy yesterday, and decided to meet her at the Sugarcube Corner. She was already seated waiting for him with a cup of tea, and she smiled when he approached.
"Hi..." she said.
"Hey Shy," he said as he sat down. "How are you?"
"Good..."
Octavia rounded a corner and saw the two of them sitting and talking. She felt a sudden pang of jealousy when she saw them smiling together.
"Oh great," she said to no one in particular. "It's HER again..."
Octavia made a plan to talk to her and find out just what her deal was.
Sorry for the short chapter guys, I've been super busy lately. With managing a group a bronies, making My Little Pwny 2 - it's been busy.
Next chapter will be longer.
On a side note, who do you think Saxo should end up with? Leave a review or vote on my profile.
-Until Next Time,
