A/N: I do not own My Little Pony, only my OCs; any reviews would be nice, and a shout-out to my editor and any reviews would be nice. This is my first anthro MLP
Looking around the Kitchen Grimm smiled as Sunset started cooking the meal that she knew he would like and as he smelt the pork and potatoes and even the coffee, which he loved oh so well. Starting to grab a cup he smiled smelling the warm liquid and enjoying the taste on his lips. Looking at Sunset he asked
"So how are you doing and do you want something else besides coffee?" and sunset laughed before nodding and he saw the temporary uniform of a guard and asked, cocking his ear puzzled as all hell
"What the buck I mean I haven't even told the princess I was in" and Dash, who had brought the uniform said
"I know but Twilight and Rarity both wanna see you in the gear because if it needs to be hemmed it needs to be done soon" and as he pulled it on everyone laughed as it was too tight in the chest and too loose in the legs. Seeing that everyone was laughing he smiled and peeled the uniform off and tossed it to dash to be sent to rarity saying quietly while blushing as he was now back in front of everyone with his fur that had a smear of blood on it, at least that's what it looked like, and he said smiling
"Well I hope that the uniform will be made to actually fit and not make me look like MC Hammer" and Storm, who had followed the delivery as he knew where the group was going, said
"Well brother we know you can't rap and when you drink coffee it looks like an alcoholic relapsing so you have that going for you" causing the others to either chuckle or shoot death glares and as Pinkie looked at Storm Grimm had a understanding that he would use to tease his brother mercilessly and whistled pointing a hoof at the sky and they both took off and as they both cleared the line of sight they sat down on a cloud with storm yelling
"EVERYBODY DO THE FLOP!" and the two just laid on the cloud and Storm laughed asking
"So why did you take me away from your housewarming party because you look like shit now but were happy then" and seeing the chance Grimm asked his brother
"So child do you have anyone in mind as a special somepony?" and Storm instantly went white as the cloud that the two boys were sitting on and he started to stammer and said
"A-as a friend right now plus I don't think Pinkie pie likes me like that so yeah what about you" and Grimm smiled and without breaking stride from pacing on the cloud said
"Sunset shimmer but we are taking it slow so if you tell anyone I'll see your flank locked up for as long as I see fit" and Storm nodded then laughed before saying
"If you did that to me I guess it would be a robot Pegasus attack" and Grimm had it with him and slammed his back legs right into Storms chest sending him off the cloud reeling. As Storm was stunned he fell and didn't deploy his wings and smashed into the ground leaving a giant crater and a cloud of dust.
"Well, that was a ground-breaking experience…" Storm muttered as the nurses carried him off to the hospital and Grimm just shrugged and walked back to his house and just sat down in his closest chair and looked at dash, who was helping sunset and who Grimm felt was a sister to him, before he slowly nodded and said stretching
"I think I'll go see princess sparkle and then join up with my best friend and her lover" and Dash blushed as Grimm revealed about her and spitfire. With the whole group silent he took off and made a mad flight to Canterlot, only to turn around and fly back before asking, sheepishly
"Do you know how to get to the castles because I have never been there only met with twilight at her library so if you don't mind can you show me the way?" and both Pinkie and Sunset agreed as Grimm and Storm had to visit the princesses to find out what would happen to them. As they took off Grimm saw that there was no way that him and Storm stomper could fly into town without leaving their guides behind. As they both felt sad about that they walked to the train and the trip to Canterlot was very uneventful as Grimm spat out
"I don't know dude I think everyone's all jealous and shit" and started rapping as Storm smiled stunning both Pinkie and Sunset, who laughed and rapped as she had heard the song back in the human world
"Oh my fucking god you fucking rock please boy please let me suck you off" and as sunset got some glares on the train she muttered
"You fucking ponies have a problem with me dude and they need to take it up with me after the trip" and they all fell into silence as Sunset hummed sounds of silence as they walked off to the castle. Walking toward the castle Grimm sensed something wasn't right and muttered
"Stay frosty brother" and Storm just nodded as they walked to the main walk way and were greeted with the blaring of dubstep and the boys hollered, as they wanted to be heard over the noise
"Who is that because I am shocked that they had dubstep here" and they saw a blanket and two ponies hiding under it with a turntable spinning. Looking at it Storm saw a jewelry store and said, getting his brother wishing he could kill him
"So when are you getting your special friend a ring because we both know you want to?" and Grimm growled
"Give you two seconds to think on what you said or I'll kick your teeth down your throat" and Storm and Pinkie took off running and Grimm slowed down getting sunset nervously asking
"Are you okay because if we need to we can stop for a minute?" and he shrugged and said
"Yeah I'm fine just thinking of something important" and she saw he wasn't looking at her and she questioned him, not knowing she was right on the money,
"Does it involve me or any of my friends? I promise I won't tell anyone so please tell me" and he just walked on saying
"I'll let you know when I'm ready because I don't want to rush anything" and they both ran to the castle in silence and seeing the guards eyeing sunset while guarding the way to the chambers Grimm snapped out
"Hey hay for brains you have any business staring at her if not move your useless flank out of the bloody way" and the look he shot the guard was enough to cause a guard to snap to the side for fear of being consumed by shadows as princess Cadence walked over and got a feeling that sunset and Grimm could be a couple when Grimm dramatically held a hoof out for sun saying
"After you ma lady" and then followed her in to find princess Celestia. Standing at attention Grimm saw the Storm was about to say something incredibly stupid so he cut him off saying
"Princesses with all due respect what the buck am I doing here because I was summoned last night at my house warming party and found a wonderbolt officers uniform on my bed this morning so what the hell". As sunset went to say something scared the boy she had a crush on was going to be banished either to the moon or human world Cadence motioned for her and pinkie to follow her as Luna said
"You two have been selected to be royal guards and we are awaiting your answer on whether or not you will be joining the wonderbolts and the guards" and both boys yelled
"Ma'am yes ma'am" and they both turned to leave and Twilight, who had been with the other princesses stopped Grimm dead in his tracks saying
"You will be assigned to two roles other than the wonderbolts and they are to protect me and watch someone who loves you from taking over equestria" and he went white as the tile wondering if she knew. Nodding his understanding he took off hearing faintly
"Your training with your adoptive sister Dash starts at 0500 hours" and he just took off running. As he made it to the bridge, he overlooked the conversation that was going on overlooking the city from the balcony and Sunset looked at Cadence and said, as lost as the days she was a filly
"The newest guard seems to be really cute but I don't know how to tell him I like him because with the whole guarding the princess bit he may end up liking twilight better and I don't think he would love a demon like me". Seeing the fear and nervousness Princess Cadence lightened the mood saying
"Well if you are really that worried I could have him demoted from royal guard and have his flank shipped to the moon or introduce him to you so which will it be?" and Pinkie laughed seeing sunset turn a light shade of red saying stammering
"N-no that is okay I will approach him on my terms so it is natural and not forced and PLEASE DON'T SEND HIM TO THE MOON" and Pinkie bounced onto sunset saying as hyper as all hell
"please introduce them to us because sunny here is a chicken and won't ask him out or even look at him the little filly" and with that Pinkie took off and saw both Grimm and Storm getting decked out in armor and she blushed when Storm said
"Man you need to tell Sunset how you feel because I know it is eating you up as the sword fight we just had I totally kicked your ass" and he got a little scared seeing Grimm smile before saying
"Valid point kind sir now if I may present a rebuttal?" and before storm could say anything Grimm lashed out and smashed both metal back legs into Storms face splitting his lip showering the two in blood. As the fighting picked up yet again at the wonderbolt academy causing Storm to be choked out and almost get his head stomped in, Dash grabbed Grimm's tail and drug him away and asked him like a big sister who just caught her brother doing something incredibly stupid
"Boy why the buck did you start hitting him and tell me exactly what happened I can see if Spitfire can get the newbies reduced sentences" and he motioned for Dash to follow him and they took off to the clouds and sat there, stunning dash with what he had to say
"I am madly in love with sunset shimmer, well I think that's her name as I have heard people whispering things behind her back, but I don't know how to tell her or if she even likes me like that and Storm was running his mouth saying I was a chicken shit and that I would never get the chance to ask her out or carry on a relationship" and as Dash looked off into the distance Grimm muttered
"You are so stupid boy because now your best friend and mentor thinks you have a problem" and Dash laughed, setting an hoof kindly on his shoulder
"Yes you have problems but the wonderbolt's help their own so we need to find you a way to get together with her because you two would be a totally awesome couple!" and with that she took off and started to tell Spitfire her plan to help the newest recruit overcome his fears not knowing that sunset and the others were having a similar conversation. As Grimm started to wake up after flying home and passing out after Spitfire let him go for the night he was shocked to find a dress uniform of the wonderbolts and a royal guard with the marks of the solar and lunar princesses as well as twilight all blended in one mark. Pulling on the dress blues he walked out and was shocked seeing that sunset and lightning dust were outside his door. Standing there stunned he muttered
"Um I hate to ask this but what are you all doing here?" and sunset stammered before lightning dust said
"Well brother there is a dance at the castle of friendship and princess twilight has cordially invited you and a few of the wonderbolts and I am bringing this one as a plus one and your brother should come as well" and without waiting both boys were notified that they were to leave immediately before lightning dust took off. Standing stunned he pulled on the dress blues and then woke his brother before they quickly took off to the library and its castle before the dance started and looking at the small group twilight gave Grimm a drink and said
"Thank you for joining us here and looking good in the dress blues boy" and Sunset started to get jealous not knowing that was what twilight wanted. Seeing the two DJs standing there Storm and Grimm recognized Vinyl and they saw the other one with a dull red mane and a brown body with a flaming record cutie mark and Twi yelled
"Vinyl, Scratch why don't you two crank up the tunes" and they did and started the dance as Sunset held close to Grimm dancing and she muttered as Twilight had a mare with a Light brown coat and Scarlett mane dancing with her, putting Sunset's fears to rest and Sunset asked Grimm near the end of the first dance, stuttering with nerves and playing into Cadences plan as why it was a small gathering
"H-Hey Grimm do you think we could go for a walk?" and he nodded before following her out to the balcony on that clear, starry night. He was blushing seeing the light landing on her mane and he muttered
"Note to self, thank Luna if she ever admits to this because I am scared shitless" and he asked sunset
"So what did you want to talk about?" and she said stammering as Pinkie and Princess Cadence were watching, hidden like a couple eavesdropping fillys and sunset said
"Grimm I-I think I love you" and before he could process it he blurted out on autopilot
"Sun I… Love you" and then he took off to the clouds where he found Storm, who had professed his love to Pinkie earlier in the night when Sunset had slipped away. Just laying there both boys smiled hoofbumped saying
"What a hell of a night" before returning to their new marefriends and Sunset stunned Grimm by looking at Dash and Cadence saying
"Thank you all so much for your help because I was scared to death so I think we should call it a night for us" and Dash yelled
"Brother do it go have fun with your girl". Seeing him blushing Cadence just gave dash a look and watched as the two took off with Storm and pinkie taking off their own way all of them having a promise. As they landed the new loves snuggled in with Grimm stripping off his uniform and he started to make the first meal in their home as lovers before saying quietly as sunset rubbed her belly in anticipation
"Note to self-thank princess for all her help and nopony else knows that I asked her out yet so keep it that way".
