"Floor! Floor, you little dork, what did you do to make us break the data cap again?!" >You were fine downloading a few roms >Until your phone buzzed >Your last courtesy month has been officially used up >You know you use maybe 45% per month if you aren't filling your hard drives >The little nerd pushes you up to around 90% per month if she's actively playing those lame multiplayer games or downloading anime to watch and then immediately delete >You glance around at your desk, and then under it >As tiny as she is, it's a wonder that she can use a laptop at all but tiny hooves meeting a mechanical keyboard has allowed her to shitpost with the greatest of ease >Sadly that's the only thing she seems to have an affinity for these days >You still remember when you adopted her >She was barely the size of a kitten, and didn't like using her words >But she was affectionate as all and didn't ever break any rules >Until she discovered the internet >Then she went from an adorable filly to an increasingly antisocial >She's always viewed you as a big brother >But thanks to those damned Japanime cartoon pictures, she keeps acting like you've escalated into some forbidden romance >You wouldn't trade her for the world but you've yet to fall to that level of perversion to romance a tiny talking horse "FLOOR." >Floor Bored, the one and only, is splayed out on her side with the laptop off >She looks dead >You nudge her with your foot "You ain't fooling me this time. I got that email not five minutes ago." >Nothing >The first time she pulled this, you did go into a genuine panic >But now you're tempted to cremate her and be done with it "Dang... she's really dead this time... I guess I better make use of her body while it's still warm..." >Hearing that, her tail flickers "AHA, YOU LIVE YET!" >That sets her off >Her tired eyes burst open and she looks at you like a deer in the headlights of an 18-wheeler >"I DIDN'T MEAN TO, I DIDN'T KNOW THEY WERE FLAC FORMAT!" "LIES! DAMNABLE LIES! COME HERE!" >You lunge down to grab at her, but bang your head on the corner of your desk >Floorb scampers off, scurrying like a roach until she's under your bed >She used to gallop and trot around but now she always hunkers down when she's moving >You caught her, once, mimicking Solid Snake down to repeating everything she heard and going 'hmmm' after examining everything from a sock to an empty candy wrapper >You slip out of your chair and hop onto your mattress, leering over the corners >If you can keep quiet, she'll usually think you've wandered off somewhere >She gives you a lot of credit for some things, like keeping her fed and entertained, but she seems to think that you have the intelligence of an early PS2 mook >It takes a minute, but you see an off-white snout pop out from under the bed >A few sniffs >A gruff giggle >"Colonel... I lost 'im. Proceeding with the mission." >Belly sliding against the carpet, Floor squints hard and crawls out from under the bed >Every few inches she stops to rub herself against the carpet >You really don't want to give her The Talk but you get the feeling that it'll come sooner than later >You wait for her to move out another few inches before you lower your hand toward her >With a scream that only a scary skeleton could give, you grab her flank >The pint-sized pony matches the scream with her own and leaps up, curling into herself >Her mane an even bigger mess than usual, she peeks up at you with one exposed eye "You really gotta be careful with what you grab." >She nods "If this happens next month too, we're gonna get charged extra. That's not small money." >Her gaze stays on you, not budging an inch "That means less snack money for you." >The little dork whines out something that's surely a perfectly valid, sensible excuse as to why she lost control of how much she was downloading "What was that?" >She mumbles out something >And coughs >"...er....sorry..." >She doesn't exactly sound sorry >You go limp and melt into the bed >Your knuckles rest on the carpet >She used to follow rules and instructions far better >Is this the equivalent of pony puberty or something? >A few minutes of closing your eyes, you feel something wet rub against your hand >It's her tongue >"I'm sorry... I was making you a rar of audiobooks." >She curls up around your hand and wrist >You get the feeling it's far more than that >But it's probably partially true "Yeah..." >Your reply is half-muffled by cushioning fabric >Good thing you live alone, aside from her >You relax, having lost the will to continue with your own archiving >"Hey... Anon?" >She sounds as quiet as ever "Mmmhmmph?" >You don't even lift your face away from the comfortable pitch darkness >"...can I still have snacks?" "Mmmph." >You're too damn soft with her sometimes >"Sweet." >You can hear her whisper to herself >The licking resumes again >You can't prove it but you think she has an ulterior motive for doing it >"Anoooooon..." "Mmmmph." >"Are you still my bf?" >She's still on about the 'bf/gf' thing >You don't particularly dislike the idea but it still seems odd since you effectively raised her >She hasn't been subtle with the hints lately either >She once sent you a message containing shortstack porn >While you were at work >With a message of 'do u thnk i could do that lolz' >She is a horrible typist >But her words per minute rate is astonishing given how tiny she is >Rather than dignify that question with an answer, you drag your head up and stare at your computer "If I say 'yes', will you stop downloading three hundred gigs, only to delete it all within the same hour?" >You hear a nervous giggle >"L... love overcomes all trials..." >So that was her way of saying 'no' >You start to raise her hand up so it can rejoin your body >Floorb shrieks and glomps onto it as tightly as she can >Treating her like a dollop of slime, you whip your hand around >To no avail >She's gripping onto you with the strength of gorilla glue >More worried about accidentally bonking her against something than getting her off your hand, you quit after a minute and just set your hand down on the bed >Dizzy but successful, Floor releases your hand and sluggishly drags herself to your side >"I'm sorry... I'm a bad pony." >That she is >You huff, unable to think of how you can help implement a better rule system >Those internet may-mays are starting to warp her brain >What brain she has left >"I'm a naaaughty pony..." >Floor whispers, rubbing her head against your side >Here it comes >"Punish me, onii-chan..." >Ok, that's it >You slap your hand down on the lower half of her body >She's still growing, but as of now she can still find a way to curl up in your hands if she's a tight enough ball "You... are powering for a showering." >While the pseudo-spank causes her to imitate some sort of hentai horse noise, the threat causes her to sort herself out >"S-sorry, Anon... I'll be good. I'll send an email next time I want something bigger than a single song." "Thank you." >You want to get up and get back to things but you can feel her nuzzle against you >She's slowly assimilating your hand into her fluffy body >"Let's take a nap... and once we're done thinking about it, we can have some ice cream to celebrate me having learned my lesson for today." "Yeah... sure." >You want to be mad at her but you can't "But if I wake up and you're on that school calculator you call a laptop, I'm using the oatmeal shampoo." >"You got funny fetishes... that's ok, I do too." >When did she even learn that word!? >Fucking internet >Floor used to be a good little pony >You don't sleep for too long >It's the curse of the weekends; so much free time and chances to do anything >So the best thing your body can stick to is sleeping >Floor tends to sleep entire days away as is >She has her energetic bursts of energy, though >Last time she did was when you introduced her to the original Power Rangers >Rather than making a mask, she made a turtle shell and blended the blue ranger with Leonardo from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles >She really was such a sweet thing before she learned about sexual things >She still is >You grumble something about turtles when you finally come to >Evidently in your sleep you went from laying on your stomach to laying on your back >You feel your sides and have no signs of tiny pony "...Floor?" >You don't feel anything under you so you didn't turn over and squish her >Your back creaks as you sit up >You didn't want to check, but you do >Floor's laying between your legs >Face mashed into your crotch >You normally stick to boxers and a shirt when at home >You didn't really think anything of it >You might need to change that "...Floor. Floor!" >You watch Floorb visibly shudder >And hear her inhale as hard as she possibly can >She nuzzles her muzzle up against one of your boys "Come on, wake up. Ice cream waits for no mare." >She muffles out some sort of excuse, shaking her head back and forth >A little embarrassed by her attempt to motorboat your lads, you scoot back >You see an intoxicated Floorb shaking her face back and forth >She opens her mouth wide, extends her tongue ... >And opens one eye >Not only is her mouth empty >Not only is the warmth and scent of you gone >But she sees you glaring down at her >She stays in that pose >Unblinking >Unmoving >A strand of saliva drips down from her tongue >You purse your lips and sigh "Have a good nap, did you?" >No response >She seems completely married to the concept of acting like a statue >Like maybe if she does it long enough, she'll convince you that she wasn't going at it with you "You know, you shouldn't do that." >No change in movement "How long were you actually sleeping, anyway?" >Not a single budge on her part >Another strand of saliva drips from the corner of her mouth and onto the bed >You get that she's a growing pony, but this is just uncomfortable "Alright... you stay there. I'm going up and having some shebert. Might even have a Pocky stick or two thrown in, like what you see in those anime shows..." >You turn and get up >Less than two steps away from the bed, you see a blur of black and white zip past you, down the hallway and into the kitchen >One of these days you're gonna understand her >By the time you reach the kitchen, you see Floorb prancing around the fridge door in some sort of ritualistic dance >"Semenai de! Kesanai de! Makenai de!" >If she actually made an effort to pick up another language skill, you'd be impressed >But you recognize those lyrics "Oh hey, you're up! You know, I had the funniest thought that you were napping with your mouth open. and your eye open. And not at all actually napping." >Floor stops her dance, peeks over her shoulder to see you, and slowly gets back down on all four hooves >"O-oh. Good morning Anon! Y-yeah, f-funny thing huh..." >She's a terrible liar >You think she does it just to save face for her own sake >You don't have any friends so it's not like you'll ever tell anyone about all of her... moments >You shake your head and scoff "Crazy thing... I shudder to think what would happen if I didn't wake up when I did." >The munchkin pony laughs a loud, awkward, uncomfortable laugh as you set up the snacks >"Y-yeah, imagine that! I mean, what? Me? No, I'd never imagine that! No, never. Certainly not because it's you, big bro!" >You choose not to answer her >You do have a few boxes of Pocky kept in reserve >Far above and beyond anything that could resemble her reach >You think that's a reason why she never really rebels against you >You've heard her screech and reee before, mostly at whatever is taunting her on her computer >But she hasn't ever done that to you >Except that one time >You left her in a pet carrier for an entire eight hours when you went out for work as punishment >When you came back, she was comotose >The only thing that revived her was one of those hazelnut mochi blobs and the promise of watching Inuyasha "Alright... chocolate or strawberry?" >"STRAWB--wait, what type of sherbet do we have?" "Orange." >"NO, CHOCOLATE! CHOCOLATIZE ME, CAP'N!" >That gets a snort out of you >She meshes really well with you, humor-wise >She meshes well with you on a ton of things, really "Alright, two orders of the good stuff! Now head back to..." >You try to show her the bowls and she's already gone >"I'M ALREADY HERE, LET'S WATCH SOME STUFF!" >God damn she's fast if she wants to be >You walk back to your room and see her sitting in place >The smile she's giving you is... odd "What are you doing?" >"Colon three." "Wat." >"Colon three." "Wat." >"Colon three." "Wat." >"ICE CREAM PIE ME ALREADY DADDY!" "Oh God damn it Floor." >You sit down on the floor and set her helping down first >Rather than a human-sized bowl, it's a tiny plate that has a scoop and a half of shebert >From a tea spoon >You also stuck two tiny segments of Pocky stick into it >One with chocolate >The other with strawberry >She lets out a joyful, awkward scream when she sees it >"BOTH!? I LOVE YOU!" >You watch her cease her screaming only when it's full of orange goodness >It lasts for maybe three entire chomps before she falls over, fainting goat style "Brainfreeze, huh." >She knows better, she just lacks self control >You shudder to think what would happen to her if you were really sick or unable to do much >You were sick once >You never saw such a tiny thing cry so much "So, we got Death Note to finish... and Chobits." >Your answer is a chilled whimper
