Chap 15

Discord and Brent hung out for a while before Brent realized he was growing tired and asked Discord to leave. "Socializing even with friends drains me."

"It's quite alright." Discord said before disappearing.

Brent spent the rest of the day in relative silence no music just reading and thinking. For the first time in a while he had thoughts of earth and his family appear in his mind. Been about two or three months since he arrived, and he was sure his family was better off without him. Maybe mom got the life insurance and his computer was easily worth a thousand itself. though knowing mom she likely wouldn't sell it very sentimental.

"Stop thinking about the past you, idiot." He said as a tear welled up the first since his stroke. "Why do I miss them? They loved me even though they shouldn't have." He broke out crying at this and continued to do so for a few minutes before wiping his eyes and sniffling slightly.

"Move on, this is my second chance I can actually do things again. But all I want to do now is sleep. Sleep the pain stops a wondrous thing." And so he did just that went to sleep and somehow slept all the way to the next morning.

"Well that happened." He said as he arose. Hunger was strong, and he still felt a little distraught. Breakfast was a simple thing of several fried eggs, some toast and coffee medium roast. Caffeine still had no effect on him but he enjoyed the taste of coffee.

"God that drove the docs crazy nothing boosts my energy." He ate quietly after saying that.

He debated on trying to do a weekend shift for his job, or taking a brief trip. I don't need the money for much other than food, so may as well do a trip. He snapped a portal appearing.

Went to the chaos dimension said hi to Discord then popped out in a Minotaur town. He got a few odd looks but was once again widely ignored Intel he ran into a bull. The bull turned around and snorted in his face sizing Brent up,

Brent readied to snap but the bull just shook his head. "Watch where you're going and you should bulk up a bit there. Your muscles are too thin for around here. ," He said as he walked away from Brent.

Brent let out a breath glad he didn't need to go on the offensive. Knowing himself, he likely would have gone overboard if he did. He continued his exploration of the small town and started to notice he was being eyed by some of the Minotaurs some suspicious other curious but none interacted with him for a while.

Till one cow came up and asked. "How did you get here? And who are you?"

"I got here with inter dimensional portals, and my name is Brent." He replied

"Dimensional portals never heard of anyone doing that before." She replied.

"It's not something many can do" Brent replied being made uncomfortable by the female for a reason he wasn't exactly sure perhaps because she has breasts, gotten used to females not having any and he had just gotten rid of his old ideals.

"Well then you are a rather unique bull." She said with a slightly flirtatious smile.

Brent just made a portal under himself falling in front of Discord’s house he saw the cows surprised face as it closed. "Well not going there again anytime soon. Should head home I guess. "

He opened a portal to his living room and was surprised to find Flurry sitting in there with a piece of cake. She seemed equally surprised by the sudden rift and him walking in through it.

"So I take it Discord taught you to do that and where'd you go?" She asked.

"Went to the land of the minotaurs ended up being made very uncomfortable by a cow, think she was trying to flirt with me."

"Glad I wasn't there then would have likely gotten aggressive with her." Flurry replied as she finished her cake. "Because you're my special somepony." She said as she walked over and nuzzled his leg

Brent kind of froze he knew how he felt and had a good idea how she did, but to hear her say something like that was particularly jarring. His mind wasn't expecting this at all.

"Brent you alright?" Flurry asked looking up at him concerned.

"Yeah sorry." He lightly pet her head. "Just you saying that sent my mind for a whirl."

She giggled a little at this, taking flight to reach eye level. "Should get used to it." She said with a smile as she got closer to his face. She gave him a rather passionate but brief kiss. "Cause I'm gonna be around here a lot more from now on."

She turned flying towards the couch slightly whacking him in the face with her tail. In an act both flirtatious and trying to seem innocent.

Brents mind still kind of lagging behind fully caught up and he blinked a few times before following her to the couch. "So how did things go with Cadence?" He asked as he sat.

"Pretty good. She said she wants to properly apologize to you over a dinner if you would like to go." Flurry said as she leaned on him. This time causing no discomfort.

"If I were to go i would have to clean myself up first walked a lot today." Brent replied petting her.

"That's entirely up to you. I don't mind either way." Flurry replied as she leaned a bit more.

"Think i want to stay home this evening, especially after my trip im feeling pretty low on energy. Still need to shower either way. So may I please get up?" He spoke and asked.

"Not yet." Flurry said snuggling into him.

He internally sighed at this irritated but also enjoying it. "I love ya Flurry." He said.

"I know it's a strong emotion. Though it's nice hearing you actually say it." she popped off his side aggressively moving up into a kiss. "accidentally" knocking him over. It was once again passionate but longer lasting this time.

He returned it but pulled away after a few moments. Not entirely certain if he was ready for this kind of interaction. "Could we hold off for a bit?"

Flurry sat up. "Of course." She said feeling disappointed.

Brent slightly weezed under her weight sitting on a smaller area of his chest. Don't know how i one arm carried her before. he thought as he said: "Thank you Flurry." He tried to sit up but her position wouldn't let him. "Could you scoot back or get off me so I can sit up?" He asked as he put his hands on her sides to push her back. She obliged sliding herself down to his lap.

He sat up very briefly after she moved and gave her a light hug. "Thank you for your patience with me."
