>touchdown at the Morning Glory estate
>not too deep into the boonies, but far enough up the switchback-y side road that it faded into the blind spot of any ponies passing by
>and as Green clak'd her way thru the front door, morning glory shut the door
>completing the escort mission of getting her wounded soldier back to base
>for a moment, green slouched on her crutches to catch her breath
>and in that moment, Morning came around to her front and gave her a huge hug, creaking like she was waiting all day for the chance to squeeze her love into Green
>wings included
>"mmmmI GOT YOU HERE FOR TWO WEEKSSSSS!mmm" she said out loud as he wiggled herself and Green side to side
>not without a barrage of smooches and mlems
>green was too caught off guard to return them
>there would be plenty more
>"so what can i get you? i got eeeegs~, i got your mango juuuuice~, i got some bad mooovies~, i can put an ice pack ooon~" morning hovered around her new patient, ecstatic at the chance to serve green whatever she wanted
>green was facing serious decision fatigue, but also blushing at all the stuff she could get by not doing anything
>and picked nothing
>"uhm... nothing much, i just kinda wanna lay down"
>rerun number 84 of the incident was starting
>"okie dokie! ill be over in a bit~"
>geeen hoisted herself up, and finished off the day with 15 long, unenthusiastic claks over to her spot in the reading room
>Morning was sweeping up tufts of black fur and feathers from her preening two days ago
>the ~ottoman~ accepting her full body sprawl with open arms
>well, more of a sit and rotate into place
>lying on her left side, facing the cushions with the bad leg resting on her calf
>it was 29-29 with 10 minutes in the 4th...

>nopony had scored since the beginning of the third, Green's defense wasn't giving them an inch and the other side's was a brick wall
>the closest they got was two rim-and-outs that barely squeaked through a sea of bodies
>finally, something gave
>a weird bounce off a flailing arm sent the ball straight up the middle to Green FN
>a gift from Celestia in the form of a 1-on-1 in the right direction
>green put her head down and charged. for all she knew this was gonna ice the game
>lock on, cross the three point, jump straight for the rim and into this stallion's chest
>a dunk she had all day from boxing out Heat Wave on the daily
>until two hooves crushed Green's ribs against her lungs, the next thing she saw and tasted was blue asphalt
>"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!? NO CALL!?!?"
>no whistle, no nothing, so be it
>the tides had turned, two good guys and four bad guys going the other way
>she was gonna rip his fucking head off, and receiving a pass she had every right to
>a muddy shockwave lunged into her left hip
>a wet *pang* inside of her back right knee
>blue asphalt again, this time feet away
>chest floof pressed against the back of her head
>"are you sad greenie?~" morning cooed in her ear
>green was zoned out on a purple thread sticking out of the cushion
>a soft, dejected 'mmm' came out of her throat
>then came some licks on the back of her head
>every so often sending a twitch of electricity down greens spine

>"imsorryiruinedourvacay-"
>"Tshh." with a hoof on top of her head and a warm smooch on greens cheek
>and of course some more mlems
>greens eyes got hot and murky
>'tia damnit not again.
>green smashed her eyelids together in hopes to wring out the oncoming tears
>"heyuhmm, morning"
>"mm?"
>"can you get me my hoodie?"
>"sure!"
>and not the zip up laid across the chair
>after some rummaging in a saddlebag, morning pulled out a thick bundle of warmness, thick with green's scent
>green had laboriously turned around to receive it
>"hooves up"
>morning was so kind to even dress her friend in need
>greens head popped into the hood like a turtle coming out of its shell
>morning grabbed both cheeks and gave her a kiss on the lips, then pushed her hood down to expose her mane
>as cute as she looked with her ears poking up from underneath, comfort was top priority
>green swung her pegleg back around to the same position as before, morning mounting on top to resume the mlems
>she always loved the feeling of someponys full weight on her, crushing her snowpity back into her body
>"hey morning uhm-" another request?
>"if you had any plans this weekend... dont let me keep you stuck here..."
>"Green FN. *you* are what my weekend's about" morning said with conviction, putting her face right against green's damp cheek
>green choked up again with no way to hide it, tears streaming out of her red, glassy eyes over long, squeaky whimpers
>snooooooooooof
>ahhhhhh...
>morning was gently petting between greens ears
>snoofle
>swallow
>"do you have any pasta?" green asked, not having eaten since the mystery plant back at the clinic
>morning sat up
>"mmhmm! whattya want, hay or garden plants?"
>"dealer's choice"
>morning hovered off her companion and touched down on the ground
>"i think youre gonna like what i got up my sleeve~" morning turned her head around to put that thought in Green's head
