  1. 1.
    >you’re rainbowdash
  2. 2.
    >and you’re beyond antsy at this point
  3. 3.
    >”hey dash, did you want anything to drink?”
  4. 4.
    >you snap out of your inner world and look up at him
  5. 5.
    “OH, uh, I’m good…”
  6. 6.
    >”alright well i’m grabbing a water myself so shout if you change your mind”
  7. 7.
    >the second he starts to move you jump up
  8. 8.
    >you you set your hoof on his chest
  9. 9.
    “W-WAIT, lemme grab it for you!”
  10. 10.
    >you sprint to the kitchen
  11. 11.
    >he doesn’t even have time to react before your back with the water
  12. 12.
    “I… I mean, hey, thanks dash”
  13. 13.
    >he reaches out to grab the water from you
  14. 14.
    >of course you filled it up 3/4ths of the way full
  15. 15.
    >anon always fills his drinks that high so he doesn’t have to get up to refill it as often
  16. 16.
    >you’ve taken notice to a lot of things he likes recently
  17. 17.
    >you feel his hind slightly graze your hoof as he takes the water from you
  18. 18.
    >you hate to admit it but you slightly leaned your hoof forward just to stretch the contact time with him that tiny bit longer
  19. 19.
    >yeah, you like anon
  20. 20.
    >it’s stupid obvious to you at this point
  21. 21.
    >you drag yourself back onto the couch and face toward the tv in an effort to pretend you’re watching the movie
  22. 22.
    >you’ve got a lot on your mind right now
  23. 23.
    >it’s obvious anon doesn’t know
  24. 24.
    >maybe he’s still dealing with being the only human around
  25. 25.
    >ugh, are you being selfish at this point?
  26. 26.
    >anon’s always really casual towards you, aw buck could he ever even see you the way you see him?
  27. 27.
    >i mean, equestria’s got a whole bunch of different nations around
  28. 28.
    >in hind sight it’s pretty easy to see why no pony was too concerned with anons arrival
  29. 29.
    >but anon always said that humans were the only ones back home
  30. 30.
    >are ponies just… weird to him?
  31. 31.
    >you notice the warmth of his thigh on the top of your head as you keep laying on your side
  32. 32.
    >you’re tempted to press against it but the urge to do so brings with it this twisting frustration
  33. 33.
    >all these feelings and… confusion… it’s really getting to you
  34. 34.
    >so much so that you’re getting antsy again
  35. 35.
    >like really REALLY antsy
  36. 36.
    >you jump up in an instant
  37. 37.
    “Look, I’m really sorry anon, i’ll be right back!”
  38. 38.
    >you bolt towards the door without seeing his reaction
  39. 39.
    >the second you’re outside you take flight
  40. 40.
    >you just need to get this tension out and sitting down, let alone sitting next to him, is only going to make it worse
  41. 41.
    >eventually your speed dials down to a more moderate pace
  42. 42.
    >there’s nothing like flying that helps clear your head
  43. 43.
    >being able to see things from a birds eye view just gets you in the right headspace to think things over
  44. 44.
    >ever since anon packed your lunch for you things have changed
  45. 45.
    >you gave a little push back saying it was only a day trip to canterlot and what not but he had none of it
  46. 46.
    >he said “free food aint gonna kill ya dash, besides, your tax dollars went towards it anyways”
  47. 47.
    >he had a stupid little grin when he said it too
  48. 48.
    >gosh you really wanted to see that smug look on his face again
  49. 49.
    >you always thought learning to cook was a waste of time
  50. 50.
    >like yeah, sure you could scramble an egg but the oven was a decoration at best
  51. 51.
    >when you popped open the lunch box on the train all the girls looked over with varying degrees of surprise
  52. 52.
    >turns out anon went all in for it
  53. 53.
    >he made you a hayburger, a soft pretzel, and he even had your favorite kind of brownie in there
  54. 54.
    >the note inside read “took me a bit to get the pretzel right, most of the duds ended up being soft pretzel shaped bread, and after that fiasco i wasn’t gonna push it by trying a desert on my own, pinkie outclasses me by miles anyways”
  55. 55.
    >”stay safe you colorful little freaker - Anon”
  56. 56.
    >even though he ended it off playfully it didn’t diminish how it made you feel
  57. 57.
    >it was super obvious from the start he didn’t eat hay, he told you 100 times over
  58. 58.
    >which makes it pretty obvious that he learned to cook hay from scratch specifically just for you
  59. 59.
    >and the worst part is, it was the best hayburger you’ve had in your life
  60. 60.
    >the hayburger was perfect, the soft pretzel was perfect, and obviously the brownie was perfect since it was your favorite
  61. 61.
    >but he even remembered what your favorite order from sugarcube corner was
  62. 62.
    >it felt like your whole world kind of tilted in a weird way
  63. 63.
    >not turned upside down but it just felt tilted
  64. 64.
    >this weird stupid lopsided feeling
  65. 65.
    >whatever, when you start getting really funky thoughts like that it always means you’re heads basically clear enough anyways
  66. 66.
    >it was getting near the end of the day by the time you left but it’s gotten REALLY dark out by the time you broke out of thought
  67. 67.
    >oh dang it, did you really leave anon hanging like that!?!?
  68. 68.
    >you bolt towards anons place and loop around to his front door
  69. 69.
    >you enter his place only to find him passed out on the couch
  70. 70.
    >oh… that bucking hurts
  71. 71.
    >he waited for you
  72. 72.
    >he bucking waited for you and you bailed on him
  73. 73.
    >you’re much more calm than before but that doesn’t take away from how ashamed you are right now
  74. 74.
    >you sneak over towards him to find he’s just wearing his clothes and doesn’t have a blanket or pillow
  75. 75.
    >you make your way to his room and grab his pillow and blanket and sneak back up to him
  76. 76.
    >you throw the blanket over him and fluff up his pillow till it’s as soft as you can get it
  77. 77.
    >you gently raise his head with your wing so you can place the pillow right under his head
  78. 78.
    >watching him so relaxed it makes you wonder if he’s always this tuckered out after hanging out with you all day
  79. 79.
    >he’s so cute when he’s asleep
  80. 80.
    >oh gosh what are you going to tell him tomorrow…
  81. 81.
    >the guilt is really eating at you now…
  82. 82.
    >it wouldn’t have been so bad if he had just gone to bed but no he HAD to stay and wait for you
  83. 83.
    >and it wouldn’t have been so bad if he had gotten his blanket and stuff in case he planned on falling asleep but no he KNEW you were coming back
  84. 84.
    >and you still bailed on him
  85. 85.
    >he was really excited to show you that movie too…
  86. 86.
    >you didn’t even pay attention
  87. 87.
    >he probably knew you weren’t paying attention
  88. 88.
    >and you always made bets with him you knew you were going to win
  89. 89.
    >just had to leech off of him and swindle him constantly
  90. 90.
    >why does anon even hang out with you?!?!
  91. 91.
    >oh buck… oh buck are you his only friend?
  92. 92.
    >oh my gosh you’re the worst friend ever
  93. 93.
    >he doesn’t even know anypony else that well so he just defaults to you doesn’t he…
  94. 94.
    >you’re tempted to run out and fly again but thinking it through isn’t going to fix it this time
  95. 95.
     
  96. 96.
    >you are anon
  97. 97.
    >and you were dreaming about mcdonalds
  98. 98.
    >mcdonalds but they have way more stuff
  99. 99.
    >the mcdonalds is the size of a mall and every little side store is specifically for only 1 item on the menu but each store contains a bunch of variations of the singular item they sell
  100. 100.
    >you kept teleporting between them and stuffing your face
  101. 101.
    >mcdonalds cake so fucking good
  102. 102.
    >except the cashier lady kept breathing on you
  103. 103.
    >it kind of took you out of it for a second
  104. 104.
    >and when it did the dream collapsed making you wake up
  105. 105.
    >and boy were you groggy
  106. 106.
    >you scrunch your face and move your arm only to feel your pillow under you
  107. 107.
    >did you sleep walk to your bed?
  108. 108.
    >you open your eyes to see a distinctly dashie colored dashie right in front of you
  109. 109.
    “Oh, hey dash what are you still doing up? It’s like past 12 or-”
  110. 110.
    >you stop talking as you start to pick up on the situation
  111. 111.
    >she hyperventilating HARD
  112. 112.
    >her eyes are closed tight and she’s very obviously crying
  113. 113.
    >she’s shaking really badly too
  114. 114.
    >seeing this wakes you up pretty fast as you jump up
  115. 115.
    “Dash, DASH, dude what’s going on???”
  116. 116.
    >she gasps sharply as she opens her eyes wide at you
  117. 117.
    >”w-wait… i p-p-promise i wasn’t being weird or nothing!”
  118. 118.
    >you throw the blanket around her and sit on the floor right in front of her with your back against the couch
  119. 119.
    “Hey, hey, it’s alright dash no worries, what’s got you so worked up?”
  120. 120.
    >she blinks and turns her head to the side and then looks at you only to look away again
  121. 121.
    >”L-look it’s *hic* it’s just *hic* I’m *hic* I’m sorry for *hic* being gross and weird right now *hic*”
  122. 122.
    >you furrow you brow a bit at that response
  123. 123.
    “Dash you’re literally the coolest pony ever, trust me when i say you’re perfectly fine okay”
  124. 124.
    >you grab her hoof with both hands
  125. 125.
    “Dash i promise you whatever it is, i’m here okay i can help, if you’re worried i’ll tell anypony else i would rather die, unless you specifically wanted me to tell somepony else, alright, but i need you to tell me if you’re okay…”
  126. 126.
    >she doesn’t seem to fully register what you’re saying as she looks down at your hands holding her hoof
  127. 127.
    >she leans forward slowly like she’s going in for a hug yet squeezes her eyes shut and then jerks her hoof back from your grasp only to panic again and place it back in your grasp
  128. 128.
    >she looks up at you begging for some kind of sign of approval only to shrink back before you could register what was going on
  129. 129.
    >she instantly starts to break down again
  130. 130.
    >it’s increasingly obvious you need to get control of the situation
  131. 131.
    >you pull her into a hug hoping that eventually you can get her to calm down enough to talk
  132. 132.
    >she struggles against your arms and seemingly can’t find the right spot to lay her head against you
  133. 133.
    “Dash i’m really starting to worry here, did something serious happen???”
  134. 134.
    >she continues to struggle to find where to place her head until she just presses her head into your neck hard enough to tilt your body to the left
  135. 135.
    >”I DON’T DESERVE TO LOVE YOOOOOooooouuuu!!!!…….”
  136. 136.
    >it catches you off guard at first but after a few seconds a wave of relief hits you
  137. 137.
    “Oh my god, dash, that's the biggest non-issue in the world…”
  138. 138.
    >you relax your arms releasing all that tension you felt a moment ago and simply pet her head
  139. 139.
    “Dash, i’d love to go out with you”
  140. 140.
    >she calms down quite a bit as she looks up at you and whispers
  141. 141.
    >”even though i’m kind of a jerk to you?”
  142. 142.
    >her sentence throws you off for a second
  143. 143.
    “Dash you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me, i have zero idea where you’re getting this from”
  144. 144.
    >even though she’s calmed down a ton she tries to take a few deep breathes before whispering
  145. 145.
    >”it’s just… i was kind of a dick with the whole making bets with you thing, i mean it was basically stealing…”
  146. 146.
    “Wait, like when you bet you could beat me in a race a few times?”
  147. 147.
    >”y-yeah… and i really should’v-”
  148. 148.
    “Dash I was literally the one who offered every single time…”
  149. 149.
    >she flinches slightly but without the harshness of before
  150. 150.
    >”w-well yeah but… still it wasn’t cool of me to always make you buy brownies for me n all…”
  151. 151.
    >...
  152. 152.
    “Dash im on fucking welfare it’s basically you’re money…”
  153. 153.
    >she snickers a bit
  154. 154.
    >”well, okay yeah…”
  155. 155.
    >you hold each other for a good minute with only her gentle breathing being audible
  156. 156.
    >”I don’t know… everything just felt super important? Serious? Whatever, you know what i mean right anon?”
  157. 157.
    “Yeah, i’ve had something similar to this happen to me, trust me you’re completely fine, it always feels like a bigger deal than it is in the moment”
  158. 158.
    >she brushes her nose against your neck for a few seconds
  159. 159.
    >”it just felt really nice when you were, well, nice to me, n stuff…”
  160. 160.
    >”it was sort of like… you were really cool towards me and… i guess i kinda thought i wasn’t as…”
  161. 161.
    >she looks at the ground inquisitively for a second
  162. 162.
    >”UGH, it’s like you were super nice towards me, always doing things to make me feel nice and I didn't really balance it out y’know?”
  163. 163.
    >that one really gave you a comedic puff out of your nose
  164. 164.
    “Oh cmon dash, do you have an idea how i felt?”
  165. 165.
    >you really meant what you said
  166. 166.
    “Do you have any idea how much i owe you for making living here so much easier?”
  167. 167.
    >you pull her in super tight smudging your face right into the side of her face
  168. 168.
    “I really don’t think i could stand it here without you, you’ll never know how much you’ve done for me…”
  169. 169.
    >you opt to give her a kiss on the cheek
  170. 170.
    “You’re the most wonderful mare in the whole world, you know that right?”
  171. 171.
    >she presses her lips against your cheek as if to give you a kiss
  172. 172.
    >yet as seconds pass she begins to whimper
  173. 173.
    >”*sniff* I *sniff* i really *sniff* REALLY love you anon *sniff*...”
  174. 174.
    >she pulls you up onto the couch wrapping the blanket around the both of you as she lays on top of you pressing her lips into yours
  175. 175.
    >she continues her kisses endlessly as if to subdue you
  176. 176.
    >the romantic smacking of her lips on yours get lighter and lighter as you drift off
  177. 177.
    >she slows her pace just enough so that you fall asleep
  178. 178.
    >unbeknownst to you know, she stayed up just a bit later to assure you of her love even in your dreams with her warm little pecks against you
