Most mornings, it's hard to drag yourself out of bed and face the day. Especially when you were in the middle of a lovely dream, or in the company of a lovely stallion.

Gallus isn't the type to drag himself out of bed on a good day, usually hitting the snooze button to return to blissful sleep, but sometimes things just need to get done early in the morning.

Sandbar isn't one to let his little griffon escape so easily.

Only one will win out, but money tends to be on the huge earth pony.

Written for the A Thousand Words Contest in the genre of, of course, Fluff! And there's nothing fluffier than a little bit of GallBar!

Sticking to a thousand words was very difficult. But hopefully I've made the gay palpable.

And art is by Kam who does lovely art.

Troy is a Gryphon who moved to Equestria to pursue a new life; however, his seclusion has left him feeling unsatisfied with how his life was going. All of that changes when he becomes involved in a storm prepping job outside of Ponyville for Princess Twilight Sparkle. Before the storm, Troy finds Canvas, a badly injured Earth pony, lying on the ground near death. As time goes on and wounds start to heal, how will the Gryphon's life change as he helps the stallion struggling to regain control of his life?

Despite being one of the few Gryphons living in the land of Equestria, Troius Clawston couldn't be happier with how his life has been. Along with having good friends and a stable job in Weather Patrol, Troy is happiest about his life for one reason: Canvas, the Earth Pony artist that he saved and befriended, who grew to become so much more.
However, before the two can begin their lives together, Troy has to overcome a new challenge in his life. Something he never thought he would have to face until now...

Telling his family.

Because of strong Gryphon values which look down on alternative relationships, how will Troy's family react when they discover he's not only with someone of a different species, but of the same gender? As traditions clash with taboos, how will the Gryphon handle telling his brothers and parents, while still staying with the stallion he cares about? Can he keep everyone together, or will family bonds break under pressure?

You and Thorax are bros, and bros don't snuggle. Thorax disagrees.

Contains lots of snuggling. No actual intercourse; the sex tag is just there for occasional lewd references.
