I bite into a large hamburger, prepared carefully by Fluttershy, who managed to get some meat from one of the cows that had died so I could have my favorite meal on my birthday. The meat is tough and chewy, but considering the cow had died from old age, the burger was pretty good. Discord watches as I do so, a look of revolt plastered to his face. I notice the look on his face and tease him by taking another big bite out of it while looking right at him, making him almost throw up.
I laugh at his reaction, choking on the hamburger in my mouth. Coughing a bit to dislodge the substance from my windpipe, I put down the hamburger to pick up a drink to help wash down the burger.
As I finish eating, Fluttershy comes into the living room carrying a saddlebag on her back, mumbling something about woodland creatures and Twilight’s spells. I tune most of it out, concentrating on the leftover taste of the burger, knowing I won’t get another for a long time. The look of revolt finally leaves Discords face, and Fluttershy opens the door to walk out, still mumbling about the woodland creatures. As she closes the door behind her, Discord decides to strike up… conversation.
“I hope you know that eating meat is absolutely disgusting.” He says rudely, the look of revolt returning to his face.
“I hope you know I’ll be eating you next.” I respond jokingly, looking him in the eye to make my response more threatening.
His face turns slightly green, but after his brain registers that it was a joke, his color returns and he gets a sly look on his face.
“You know, I’ve always had a thing for carnivores.” He says seductively, making me blush. I can tell he’s just teasing me, but his tone says differently.
“I thought you had a thing for Fluttershy though.” I accuse in an attempt to embarrass him, his face turning bright red and a look of confusion covering his face.
“Wh-what?! Me and her are just friends!” He stutters, the red blush on his face deepening in color. Jackpot.
I can tell I hit a nerve judging by the color of his face. “Don’t be silly Discord; I’ve seen the way you look at her.” I smirk a little, watching as the blush on his face turns into slight horror of what I just said.
“I don’t like her!” He almost shouts, catching me off guard. He sees my surprised face and feels a bit bad about yelling, and offers an explanation. “I like… somepony else…” he says, the blush on his face dying down.
Somepony.
So he likes a pony, I decide.
“Who is it?” I ask curiously, the sly look returning to my face.
“None of your business.” He says sternly, pretty much telling me to back off. The blush is slowly returning to his face and he looks nervous.
“I bet it’s Pinkie Pie then.” I add, ignoring how uncomfortable he looks. His face twists up a bit and he looks at me with an annoyed look.
“It’s not her either! But how about you? I bet you’re just in LOVE with that Twilight Sprinkle pony, whatever her name was.” Instead of blushing, I begin to laugh.
“That’s the most bullshit pairing I’ve ever heard of!” I laugh, gasping for air in between laughs. I eventually recover and see his face is more amused than annoyed now.
“But seriously”, I ask, “Do you like Rainbow Dash or something? Because I don’t think it would be Rarity, Applejack, or Twilight.”
He looks at me, his eyes suddenly softer than before. “It’s you, stupid.”
Oh.
