                                            >Be Butterscotch

                                            >"No no, wait! I got another one! Why haven't I worn my gay sweater?"

                                            >You're having to listen to yet another one of Rainbow Blitz's mean jokes about gay stallions

                                            >You've known for a long time that you were...attracted to other stallions, but...

                                            >"it hasn’t come out of the closet yet!! AHAHAHA!"

                                            >You were afraid to tell everypony, to say the least

                                            >Applejack chuckles

                                            >"Heh, I'll admit, that'n got me Blitz!"

                                            >"Why Rainbow Blitz, that joke is simply rude and crass!"

                                            >Blitz shoots a suspecting look at Elusive, and says:

                                            >"What, are you a queer or somethin' Elusive?"

                                            >"Goodness, not at all! But a gentleman doesn't make such mean-spirited jokes! And neither should you!"

                                            Suddenly, the group's leader Dusk Shine replies

                                            >"Elusive has a point there Rainbow Blitz. We're the Elements of Harmony. We're supposed to spread friendship, even to those of a...homosexual persuasion."

                                            >Blitz rolls his eyes

                                            >"Man don't be such a spoil sport egghead! It's not like there's any homos at the table!"

                                            >Rainbow Blitz doesn't know how wrong he is.

                                            >He's your childhood friend, but you've kept your sexuality secret from him for years now.

                                            >You're truthfully afraid of how he'd react to be honest.

                                            >He's the element of loyalty and your childhood friend, so he SHOULD stand by you despite. But, he makes such jokes about stallions like you...

                                            >You wish he knew how badly those jokes hurt sometimes, but you can't say anything lest he suspect the truth.

                                            >"Now, if we're finished making jokes in poor taste, let's discuss why we're all here."

                                            >A few hours later, Dusk is done with his lecture on friendship problems prevailing in Equestria and you begin to head home

                                            >Along the way, you see Rainbow Blitz go up to the local alien, Anon

                                            >"Hey Anon, I got this great joke!"

                                            >Oh no, not again...

                                            >"What is it?"

                                            >"A son walks up to his dad and says "Dad! I just had sex for the first time." The dad goes "Great! Wanna sit down and talk about it?“ The son says "I cant sit right now, my butt is very sore! HAHAHA!!"

                                            >"Well, I'm sure he'll get used to it."

                                            >Blitz seems to look disappointed in his response

                                            >"Wait what? You don't think it's funny?"

                                            >The apelien shrugs his shoulders

                                            >"Eh, not really"

                                            >"You a fudge-packer or something? Everypony loves that one! How can you not at least giggle?"

                                            >"Hey, don't knock it till you try it Blitz. Or given how obsessed you are over gays, maybe you have...So hey, second or third time's the charm, sport!"

                                            >Rainbow Blitz suddenly gets a shocked expression on his face

                                            >"W-what? But! and I'm not! But I never! Ugh!"

                                            >Blitz suddenly takes off, making a rainbow trail in the sky growing towards his house

                                            >You can't believe it. The anon shrugged off the whole thing! And the way he turned it around on Blitz and made him stop, wow!

                                            >You walk towards him amazed and begin to speak

                                            "W-wow Anon, you actually made him stop! You're so...BRAVE!"

                                            >"Eh not really, he's pretty boring. He seems pretty obsessed over gay stallions, maybe he's deep in the closet or something?"

                                            >Giggling, you say

                                            "Maybe, he's done this for a while now. Ever since high school in Cloudsdale. I really wish he'd stop."

                                            >"Have you tried talking to him about it Butterscotch?"

                                            "N-no...I'm just not confident enough to do it! He's so insistent on these! He doesn't know how much it hurts me...*eep*

                                            >You quickly put a hoof over your mouth, you look at Anon hoping you didn't expose your secret

                                            >Anon smiles at you

                                            >"Well, maybe I can help you. After all...

                                            >he leans down and whispers

                                            >"...Homos gotta stick together.


                                            >You are now Anon

                                            >And wow, the way Butterscotch's face is going red is so cute!

                                            >More than that, he's let it slip that he's gay too!

                                            >Your gaydar was going off pretty heavily with him already, but now you're finally past that stage of things.

                                            >You've been interested in the butter yellow stallion for a while now. He's one of the nicest guys you've ever met, and probably the cutest guy around if you're honest.

                                            >Oh, he's trying to say something while you're lost in your thoughts, act natural!

                                            >"S-so um, you...know then? That I'm..."

                                            "Yes"

                                            >Nailed it

                                            >"*eep*!"

                                            >Or not

                                            >He somehow quickly lowers to an even lower whisper

                                            >"Please Anon...p-please don't tell anypony!"

                                            "So you ARE in the closet Butterscotch?"

                                            >"N-y-yeah.."

                                            "Well, as I was saying, maybe I can help you. Nopony should have to be stuck there, I know from experience."

                                            >He suddenly fiddles with his hooves

                                            >"Um, maybe we could talk more at, m-my cottage?"

                                            "Is that a date?"

                                            >His face goes from yellow to red again

                                            >"Umm, uh...I mean..."

                                            >Cute, CUTE

                                            "Don't worry I was just pulling your leg. I apologize if that was mean. I'll see you there Butters, maybe in about three hours?"

                                            >"S-sure. And, um...thank you, Anon"

                                            "Don't mention it, see you there Butterscotch!"

                                            >"Y-you too"


                                            >You are yet again Butterscotch

                                            >Be flying back to your home

                                            >And you. are. TERRIFIED!!!

                                            >What in Equestria were you THINKING, inviting him into your cottage already?!

                                            >What if he sees all the animals and thinks you're like some crazy cat lady, only a stallion?

                                            >What if he comes across your Neighponese anime and manga collection? He'll surely think you're a massive weeaboo!

                                            >What if he was just lying about being gay too, and is going to expose you to everypony?!

                                            >You just want to crawl into a hole and never come back out again...

                                            >You shake out of your thoughts just in time to prevent hitting your head against the door

                                            >Getting inside, you see that it's a mess

                                            >Your animals are always well behaved, it's just that you haven't cleaned up in a while

                                            >Then it hits you completely...

                                            "Oh no, he'll be here in no-time, I gotta prepare!

                                            >You rush and get everything cleaned up

                                            >You take a shower, and make sure to use the bathroom

                                            >Making sure Mister Bear doesn't think he's an intruder among other potential incidents, you tell all of your animals that an important guest is arriving, and for all of them to be on their best behaviors!

                                            >You make sure to feed them, deal with any injuries, give them brushies, and everything else you usually do for them

                                            >Before you know it, you jump nearly to the ceiling as you hear a knock at your door

                                            "C-coming!"

                                            "Um...s-same. I've never been interested in mares. T-they just don't...have something, y'know?"

                                            >Dusk Shine was actually the first you did this for. You saw him sperging out about something you don't even remember and your hand connected to his head before you even knew what happened

                                            >Suffice to say, it worked. It calmed him down and was able to rationally solve whatever problem he had.
