A New kind of Chaos

The relationship

"Come on Discord. You can't stay in there forever." said Fluttershy, as she poked at the curled up draconaquus.

"I don't have to come out. And you can't make me." Discord mumbled through his wrapped body. He was still moping about what happened at the dinner party. 'I should have stopped her.' he kept thinking. "What am I supposed to do now that she is gone?" Discord said to Fluttershy.

"Why are you so worried? I'll sure we'll find her. I just know it." Fluttershy said, now patting Discord on the back.

"But what if we don't? I should be out there looking for her, but instead I'm here. I should be trying to find her and I'm not. What kind of friend am I? I can't even get over my cowardness to find her. I bet if we don't find her, she still won't come back at all. She's probably glad she doesn't have to be near me anymore." Discord said, as he unravelled himself to show Fluttershy his tear streaked face.

"Discord, you need to show her that you care as soon as we find her. I know you are afraid, but you can't stay like this your whole life. I saw the way you looked at her. I've never seen you so happy. But why do you hide that happiness from her?" Fluttershy said, as she stared seriously into Discord's red and yellow eyes.

"Because... because..." Discord said, now facing the wooden floor. He started to wipe the rest of his tears with his lion paw.

"Because what?" Fluttershy said, raising her eyebrow.

"Because...maybe...I kind of...like her." Discord stuttered. He then raised his lion paw and eagle talons to cover his face, as he turned away from Fluttershy.

"Was that so hard for you to say?" Fluttershy said.

"Yes." Discord mumbled. "Why did I have to say that?"

"Because I needed some real proof that you really cared. I know that this feeling must be hard for you to understand, but you should know that this is okay for you to feel. But why haven't you told her?" Fluttershy said.

"Because, since I met her, I fell in love with her. I've been acting weird since we met, and I'm afraid that if Diamond found out that I felt this way, she would want to get away from me. Kind of late for that, huh?" Discord said.

"It's never too late. You just need to tell her." Fluttershy said, as she helped Discord get up.

"Yeah, you're right. I need to tell her now before I loss this new courage. I can regret it later!" Discord shouted as he marched toward the door.

"Good luck, Discord." Fluttershy whispered.

Diamond peered down at the land. She thought she could identify which house was Fluttershy's, because her house was right next to the Everfree Forest. She took a nosedive toward the house, knowing she had to find Discord. Behind her, she could hear Twilight's gasps. "Be careful!" Twilight shouted to Diamond.

"Oh, I'll be just fine." Diamond said. She turned her head to find she had crashed into a large tree. "Wow, that hurts." Diamond moaned.

"Yeah, that looks like that hurt." said a deep male voice. Diamond looked up to find Discord standing beside the tree she just crashed into. Diamond used her magic to teleport herself away from the tree, sending herself to stand beside Discord. She then fell to her knees, now noticing a pain in her head.

"Here, you might need this." Discord said, handing Diamond an ice pack. Diamond tried to levitate it with her magic, but found that it only increased the pain in her head. She gave up trying to use her magic, and picked it up with her wing, like she used to do when she didn't have her horn. "Why did you crash into that tree? Even Derpy wouldn't hit something as big as that." Discord said.

"I guess I wasn't thinking." Diamond said, as she used her wing to press the ice pack to the side of her head.

"Well, I have something to tell you." Discord said, as he sat down on the grass beneath their feet and hooves. Diamond knew that she too had to tell something to Discord, so she bent her knees as she sat down on the grass. "Did you ever feel anything for anypony? I mean, like, love." Discord said, whispering the last word.

"Only once before. It was this one colt back in Canterlot, but he obviously didn't like me back, no matter how hard I tried to connect with him. It just, didn't work." Diamond said, turning away from Discord's view to hid her blush.

"Do you...happen to...I don't know...like somepony now?" Discord stuttered.

"Well, maybe. I'm not sure." Diamond said.

"How can you not be sure?" Discord asked. "Why are you not sure?"

"I'm just afraid that he wouldn't like me back. He probably likes somepony else." said Diamond.

"Well, what if he did like you back?" said Discord. "What if he really liked you? What if he fell in love with you since the first moment he saw you."

"Well, I guess things would be a lot different than they are now." Diamond said, now starting to blush brighter. She could see things were getting really awkward. And how Discord's eyes were starting to get huge with hope. She could see that Discord was leaning in and had pressed his lips together.

Diamond expected Discord to kiss her, but instead he pressed his cool lips on her cheek. "Well, maybe some things can and will change." Discord whispered into her ear.

Diamond was surprised, but accepted the surprise. Really, this felt right. And chaotic. "Yeah, maybe a change like this will be for the best." Diamond said, as she leaned in and gave Discord a light kiss on his lips. She slowly closed her eyes. Discord's eyes were filled with surprise, but he gave in, closing his eyes and letting his lion paw wrap around her waist.

Diamond broke the kiss, slowly opening her eyes, seeing Discord's relaxed face. "I'll see you back at your house. Just make sure everypony comes back to Fluttershy's house safely. I'll see you later." Diamond said, as she flew off toward the direction of Discord's house.

Discord snapped his talons, making Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash appear beside him. "Wait, what are we doing here?" Rainbow shouted.

"Yeah, how did we get here?" asked Applejack.

"I found Diamond." Discord said, as the grin on his face grew wider. He stretched his wings, as he took off toward his home.

"Uh, what just happened?" asked Pinkie.
