The sun was high in the sky as Fluttershy lay in the grass, surrounded by a herd of fluffy ewes that had bedded down for a mid-day nap. She rested her head on one of the friendly little animals, yawning slightly. She was glad Discord had talked her into taking a little break. She didn't know that she'd needed it, until she'd gotten out here and really relaxed. She absently bit her lip, glancing at Discord. He was pacing around the edge of the little grassy area he'd created, building snowmen that moved around on their own, building little snow towns and snow towers. He sat back, watching them create a tiny civilization. Fluttershy giggled, and looked down, subtly turning over her hoof. In her hoof was one of the knotted pieces of grass Discord had thrown at her. The knots had seemed a bit random when she hadn't been paying attention, but when she looked a little closer, she noticed that they were tied into little... hearts. They were beautifully constructed, even if Discord made it look like the work of a moment. Fluttershy idly wondered if he was even aware he'd done it. She blushed, looking back at Discord. He had stood up, and was now stomping through the snow cities, making horrible roaring noises very, very quietly. He shot a glance over his shoulder, and caught Fluttershy looking at him.

He froze, and Fluttershy felt her heart beat a little faster. He slowly grinned sheepishly, waggling a few fingers at her while the tiny snow citizens panicked around his feet. Fluttershy laughed, covering her mouth with one hoof and shaking her head. He shuffled over to Fluttershy and sat down across from her in the grass. "Well, don't you look comfy?"

Fluttershy nodded. "Yes. This has been a wonderful break, Discord. Thank you."

Discord smiled uncertainly. "You're welcome. Is there... anything I can get you?"

Fluttershy shook her head. "No, I'm perfect, thank you."

Then her stomach rumbled. She blushed. "Well..."

Discord laughed and stood up, glancing up at the sky. "Lunch! Of course. I... didn't bring anything, but you're lucky, because you're taking a break with a God!" He declared, throwing back his head and laughing maniacally.

Fluttershy sat up, raising an eyebrow at him. He was so prone to overacting, sometimes, but it was endearing... that said, he still needed to be taken down a notch. "Overdoing the power trip, aren't you? I just want a nice daisy sandwich, not unlimited power or world domination."

Discord bent down, grinning at her. His teeth were jagged and fierce, his big fang gleaming, and his eyes were a little wild, "Oh, Fluttershy, if only you'd say the word. I could bring you all that and more."

Fluttershy swallowed slowly, her heart racing. He was so intimidating. Sometimes she forgot he was Chaos Incarnate. His pranks were so silly, and he was so full of laughter that came easily and often, but that ultimate power bubbled right below the surface. It was... a little exciting. "N-no, thank you. A daisy sandwich will do."

Discord's smile returned to normal, and he leaned away from her. "Of course! I'll be back in a moment. A drink?"

"Surprise me," Fluttershy said, feeling a little spontaneous and daring, suddenly. After all, she had a god at her beck and call at the moment.

Discord froze up, smile fixed in place. A shiver visibly moved through his body, and he chuckled a deep, throaty laugh, "Oh-hoho, Fluttershy, I love it when you say that."

"What? Surprise me?" Fluttershy asked, knowing exactly what she was doing, but playing dumb. She secretly loved it when he reacted like this.

Discord growled an unintelligible sound in his throat that sent a shiver down Fluttershy's spine. "With pleasure."

With a snap of his fingers, he was gone. As soon as he disappeared, Fluttershy gasped, exhaling a breath she didn't know she was holding, and fell back on her back, giggling and clutching her burning cheeks. She was a terrible tease, and she knew it, but Discord... Discord was special. She could be a little flirty. A little daring. A little... not herself. Maybe, just maybe, a little bit of a better version of herself. After all, she trusted him.
