Imperfection and Butterflies

I DO NOT OWN MY LITTLE PONY

CH 2.

DAY 1

He settled in quite nicely into his temporary room, making it more of his style to make it more comfortable, Fluttershy seemed surprised to find him on the ceiling laying on the bed that seemed to defy gravity, but she quickly dismissed it knowing Discord and his needs. At the first night, he found Angel standing guard at the front door, glaring at Discord at the ceiling as he waves at the white bunny. He would'ent dare enter Fluttershy's room without her permission, no matter how much he wanted to. He ignored the bunny going to sleep, in the morning he was awaken by the smell of eggs cooking, he teleports his way downstairs finding Fluttershy happily singing softly to herself as she stood over the stove cooking their breakfast. He stood silently listening to her beautiful voice as she sang her favorite lullaby.

Hush now, quiet down

Its's time to lay your sleepy head

Hush now, quiet now

It's time to go to bed

Dream your sweet dreams

As she continued to sing, not noticing Discord standing in the doorway , Angel hops inside finding him listening to her owner with a smile across his face. Angel let out a growl and kicked him in his dragon's food, making him yell out and making Fluttershy stop singing. Discord cast a glare at Angel going down eye-level for disturbing him from hearing her sweet voice.

"Why you, white little devil! " he snarls, his ankle aching from the kick " I should turn you into a furry ball of cotton!"

Angel Bunny put up his paws manically at Discord ready to get into a fight as he raised his lion paw at him, before any of them did any damage, Fluttershy came in between them putting out her hoofs separating the two males.

"Now, now you two, no need to fight" she said, acting as peacekeeper "Let's not fight, we should be kind to one another" She went down to Angel, who let out a huff turning his back on her crossing his arms. She smiles slightly at him, nudging him with her nose.

"Now Angel Bunny, Discord is our guest we shouldn't fight with him" She says gently, Angel pointed an accusing paw at Fluttershy, yelling out rants towards him, Discord was ready to snap his fingers to turn him into a beach ball until Fluttershy nuzzled Angel gently.

"Aww…Don't act that way, can't you at least be a little nice during breakfast?...please…for me?" she said gently, Angel raises a brow and reluctantly sighed, nodding in agreement. Discord raised a brow in amazement at Fluttershy to her gentleness of the whole thing. She flies up to Discord giving him a warm smile, making his ears lower and his face go red by how cute she looked. She tilts her head at him in concern putting her hoof on his forehead.

"Oh dear, are you all right? You seemed to be turning a little red, are you running a fever?" she asks. He pulls away from her, regaining his composure stroking his black mane non-chalantly.

"It must be the heat of the day, well! I am starving, what is there for breakfast?" he said as he walks over the table taking his seat. Fluttershy smiles as she brings him a plate full of eggs, toast with a side of salad.

"I hope you enjoy it" she says, he grins.

"I'm sure I will, my dear" he replied.

After breakfast, Fluttershy began her day spending her time with the animals giving each of them a specific need, as Discord watched from a distance not wanting to scare off the animals away from her. He watched as she nurtured the baby animals, hand feeding those bottles of milk, treating injured animals with gentle care and even playing with them. How she finds the time or the pacience to take care of them all, was beyond him. He watched with a smile at his sweet gentle friend, his heart tugging at his chest, how desperately he wanted to stroke her beautifully maintained mane, to look into her jade-colored eyes, to run his hand through her soft coat, he let out a sigh staring dreamily at the element of kindness.

Fluttershy giggled slightly at her bird-friends who landed on her hoofs and shoulders, chirping happily away. She looks behind her seeing Discord leaning on her cottage door watching her silently, he let out a grin at her, waving his eagle claw at her. She blushes slightly swiftly turning away, her heart beating rapidly in her chest. Why was she acting this way? Discord is her friend….isn't he? She never gotten close to male pony before, she was too shy and she always thought she wasn't pretty enough for a colt to ask her out on a date. She let out a small whimper, her mane shielding her eyes as they draped over them like curtains shutting out the light. She not smart enough like Twilight, she's not awesome enough like Rainbow Dash, not strong like Applejack, not funny like Pinkie Pie, and definitely not beautiful like Rarity. She shouldn't expect much for males to suddenly take an interest to her. The birds cooed sadly at Fluttershy seeing her expression, Discord raised his ears up in concern immediately flashing behind her, scaring off the birds and the woodland creatures into the trees and bushes. Fluttershy let out a gasp turning around to see him looming over her.

"Is something wrong, my dear?..." He asks gently, snaking his head down to eye-level with her, she looks down digging her hoof in the dirt.

"Oh no….I'm…all right…I'm just thinking, that's all" she replied quietly.

"Did…Did I do something to made you mad at me?" He said, Fluttershy shook her head.

'Oh no…never…it's just, I'm thinking about something silly, is all"

This was the first time seeing her this upset about something, he did 'it like her frown, the sadness emanating out of her like a burning furnace as he felt the wave of her emotion. Something was bothering her, and he had to do something to make her smile again. He snaps his fingers making some of her flowers from her garden come to life, their roots coming out of the ground, walking up to Fluttershy who let out a yelp jumping back slightly. Suddenly the flowers lined up side by side and began dancing in front of her, waving their leaves with the wind kicking their roots up and down as if they were legs as they performed in front of her. She let out a small giggle as she saw the flowers use their own petals like fans as they did spins and jump in the air. She clapped her hoof in delight, making Discord grin proudly he snaps his fingers again transporting the flowers where they were planted, turning them back to normal. Fluttershy looked up at him, smiling widely at him.

"Thank you, Discord" he bowed at her dramatically as if bowing to the princess herself.

"Anything for a beautiful mare such as you" he smirks, she blinks surprisingly at him.

"W-what did you say?" He peers up at her.

"Well! I called you beautiful…are you offended?" he chuckled, she looks away from him.

"No, its just….no pony ever told me I was beautiful, thank you…really thank you, It really means so much to me"

She suddenly flinch feeling Discord's claw stroke her mane, she felt herself blush seeing how close he was.

"Well…they should have, they either might have been frightened by your beauty or jealous of it" he whispers lowly. Fluttershy quickly moves away from him, shyly moving her mane in front of her face, stroking it slightly.

"Your too kind, Discord…why don't we go inside? It's time for lunch, and I'm sure the critters are hungry" She flew away hastily, leaving Discord out in the backyard. He gritted his teeth at himself.

"Darn! Almost had her….but slow and steady now, she'll get around to me, I just need to up my approach"

The rest of the day Fluttershy never felt happier, hearing Discord complement her really gave her such a positive boost she was filled with energy to get through the day with her animals. As night fell, it was time for them to go to sleep, she silently trots up into Discord's room finding him in his pink nightgown shirt and hat as he was in his bed up at the ceiling.

"Good night Discord" she said to him, he flies down to her.

"and sweet dreams to you, Fluttershy" he replies with a chipper in his voice. "Until tomorrow" he grins, she let out a smile back at him.

"Until tomorrow "
