	“My head.” I mumbled looking around. I looked at my new armor on the floor next to a rather dirty bed. I looked around the room. Tools of all kinds were all over the place and armor sets were all over the place, along with tons of metals. Bathroom off to the side.
I paused turning over looking at Hammer smiling in her sleep. A really bad feeling filled me as I sniffed the air and then sniffed her. My scent was all over her, in fact it was just too heavy to deny.
We had probably done more last night than I wanted to think I did. She grunted a little bit shifting waking up. I stared at her before looking under the blanket hoping for a moment to see something to suggest I didn’t just probably get her pregnant, but it was clear. I closed the blanket and stared at her. She opened her eyes to see me staring at her, then looked around.
“Um, why are we.” She paused and a look of pure horror crossed her face realizing what I had just realized. “Did we, um.” She jumped out of the bed and ran to the bathroom slamming the door and I sat on her bed waiting for her. She didn’t come out after a while so I went over to the door.
“Are you alright in there?” I asked unsure if I should stay or not. She opened the door and stopped being just inches from my face.
“I’m, we didn’t use protection, and I’m, I’m not sure, or rather I don’t know. You could’ve gotten me.” I looked down a little.
“Do you remember last night?” I asked.
“Not after going to the bar, other than that, I, um, it’s blank.” I sighed.
“Well, congrats you’re my first.”
“Ah, you to.”
“Well that makes me feel a little better all things considered.” I said a bit relieved, at least I didn’t catch something from her.
“Did you think I was a loose pony?” She asked eyeing me.
“No, I never thought that, I just thought you were really nice, and now that we’re in this situation, I don’t think we should try to look for the bad.”
“We’re not in any situation!” She said panicked.
“Hello!” I said rather loudly. I blocked her from leaving. “Are you blind, or can you not smell? It’s clear this might have to become something more than what it is.” She backed up and I went forward. “After this we might not have a choice.”
“This isn’t a.” I stomped stopping her.
“Don’t you dare.” I growled. “Don’t you dare even suggest what I think you were about to suggest to me. Or I swear to you this might become a whole lot less pleasant.” She swallowed backing into the wall scared.
“Please, I’m, we don’t know each other at all!”
“And?!” She paused. “We have as long as we need to get to know each other, if we really hate each other then, we can figure something out. This is something bigger than us now, we can’t throw this away because you’re not ready.”
“But.” I went forward just an inch from her face making her swallow.
“Say you won’t do anything drastic till we figure this out, promise me this now.” 
“I promise.” I let out a breath sitting down relaxing a little.
“Good.”
“Has, has this happen before?” She asked and I looked at her.
“My father and mother went through the same thing of sorts. My mother fought to keep me and my father nearly killed her to stop her. She escaped and I was born, I was forced to kill my father when he found us. So I would never even dream of doing something like that to you, or, if you are.”
“I, um, thanks?” She said unsure.
“Anyway, please don’t do anything bad, this can become a great thing none the less, no matter what you chose. I’m a great guy, sure I have odd hours and everything, but I’m quite rich from family money and I’m very healthy. I have a lot of years left as well.”
“I,” she said helpless stopping. “Please I’m not sure if I want to be a mother, that’s a huge responsibility.”
“We won’t mate any more alright, if you are you are, if you aren’t, well you aren’t. We’ll deal with it if you miss your next, mark.” She looked at me a lot less panicked. “Now then, I have my armor and we seem to not be messed up badly. So altogether other than this everything must’ve gone good.”
“Right good.”
“Now then, I have a few days to, unwind. How about we get to know each other in that time, then figure out if this can become something more, and actually try for something. We don’t have to get married or anything like that, but let’s find out where this goes.”
“I have no current orders that I need to fill so I can take off a few days.”
“Okay good, well then, um, after we get cleaned up we can go get breakfast or something like that, sound good?”
“Sure, sounds great.” 
“Well I should let you get ready first, do you mind me showering here?”
“I have a second one down stairs, it’s not as nice as this one but, it’ll do you well enough to do anything you need.”
“Alright cool.” I went down stairs and took a shower. I finished and went upstairs stopping as I entered her room.
“You can’t tell him that.” I heard her say and I went over to the bathroom door. “He would probably hit you if you told him that, idiot, idiot!” I paused. I wouldn’t hit her no matter what she did, it was my own stupid fault that I got drunk, unless she intended it, but from her reaction she couldn’t have planned it.
“T.” I stopped, she might give more information.
“Idiot, ugh, I can’t do this if he finds out I remember the mating he’ll freak, but if I don’t tell him, he knows we mated.” I sat down hearing a few sobs. “I can’t tell him that it was my idea. Damn it.”
“You’re idea?!” I asked loudly and I heard a bang as if she fell and I rushed in to see her in the shower floor dumbstruck. She crawled to the wall as I turned off the shower. “You’re telling me that this was your idea?”
“Please, I was drunk, at the time I thought it was a good, idea I only remember the mating though, not the rest of the night.” I sighed sitting down.
“I figured actually.”
“What?”
“I’ve gotten drunk a lot of time, many times with ponies that really like me. You’re the first which actually managed to get me in bed. Even at my drunkest I don’t end up in the bed of another pony for any reason.”
“Oh.”
“And it hasn’t changed the situation, from the smell this morning, I know for a fact it won’t change the situation of who’s idea was. Just please I won’t get mad for you telling me something, the worst thing you could do now is not tell me something and have it be important later on.”
“Okay.”
“Also was I any good?” She blushed.
“Um, you-you weren’t bad.” She paused biting her lip. “At all.”
“That’s good.”
“I mean we actually did it, actually quite a few times, I don’t think I’m going to be able to get the stains out.” I chuckled and she got up smiling a little bit.
“Well dry off and lets go get something to eat.” She dried off and I went over to my armor flexing my wings. The armor was still on my wings, but my main body piece was on the ground next to my helmet.
“Everything alright?” She asked and I looked at her blushing a little, she was quite a beautiful mare, and now that she had cleaned up was stunning. 
“Wow.” She blushed. “I can see how you got me in bed, you’re a stunning mare, now come on. I’m leaving my armor here for now, I have a feeling that it won’t be a problem, will it?”
“No, that’s fine.”
“And it’s not like I can leave you alone for a month.”
“What?” I went over to her and she backed up.
“If you thought for a second I was just going to leave you, your wrong. Unlike you I take this very seriously, this is not a joke if what happen last night becomes something else. Till we know for sure I’m not leaving you alone unless I have to.” She swallowed.
“What about.”
“Don’t,” I said stopping her. “I’m the caption of the guard, the highest rank in the military and the only caption in Canterlot, not even the guards would try to stop me.”
“O-okay.”
“Sorry, I’m, a little quick to anger, I would never hit you, but, please understand I’m not trying to be mean.”
“It’s alright.”
“Thank you.” I kissed her cheek. “Now come on.” She blushed and came with me as we got something to eat. We were silent for most of the breakfast eating some nice grassroots to starve off the hang over for both of us. The bright sunny day did little for me or her for that matter.
“What now?” She asked looking at me.
“So tell me about yourself.” 
“Um, I’m a blacksmith, I suppose you knew that.” She chuckled nervously. “Earth, pony, I don’t know.” She looked down.
“Much more timid than I thought.”
“What?”
“You asked me out of the blue, I thought you would be more forward.”
“I’m rarely ever that forward, I asked you out because, well I don’t know why, it just seemed like a smart move.” I chuckled slightly.
“How about I start, then you can figure out from that.”
“Alright.”
“My name is Night Jasper.” She paused and chuckled a little realizing she didn’t even know my name. “I was recently promoted to Night Guard Caption, I protect Princess Celestia and I am ponyal guard of Princess Luna. I stay up night but love walks at the full moon, I have no living family besides my half brother which works in Cloudsdale. I’ve been a guard most of my life and that’s about it.”
“Oh, um, my name is Hammer, I work as a blacksmith, I’m the only pony that can do magic armaments. I don’t do much more than work. Both my parents are alive, and I have three brothers, two live in Baltimare, and another lives in Dodge City I think. My parents live in Los Pegasus. Other than work I haven’t done much, I used to work in Los Pegasus, but not that many people wanted battle armor there.”
“What made you want to become a blacksmith?”
“Lost a friend to a dragon, I vowed I would make armor which could protect a pony from anything. I’m not there yet apparently.”
“You’re certainly better than any I’ve met.”
“Thanks.”
“Anyway, so after this what do you want to do?” I asked and she blushed making me stare at her for a few seconds. “I asked what did you want to do?”
“Oh, um, no clue.” She smiled a little nervously.
“A little straight forward are we?”
“It’s just, I’ve remembered like most of what happen, at my place, and, it won’t get out of my mind.”
“Seriously?”
“Yeah.”
“Well I don’t see how I can exactly help with that.”
“You don’t?” I scratched my foreleg a little.
“Not a place, that I want to go to.” I said unsure, I wasn’t sure where this was headed or who this pony was. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to know any more.
“Oh, well, I, um.”
“What?”
“We need to head back to my place for, maybe a few minutes, I seem to be having a few problems that I, um need to take care of.” I sighed a little bit. I paid and we went back to her shop. She ran into the bathroom almost too fast.
“Are you alright in there?”
“Yes,” she said with a high pitched voice. “I, um, I need help.”
“What?!” I said a little shocked.
“I said I need help, please.” She more or less begged.
“Listen, I think this has become a little too, um, odd. You can find me in the castle, ask anyone for Caption Jasper Night and they will be able to find me.”
“Oh hell.” She opened the door pulling me inside with almost crazy strength even more than me.
We walked out of the bathroom and she pranced out of the bathroom smiling. I shivered a little bit. Never before had a mare overpowered me so completely. While it was one sided, my body certainly didn’t think so. The mix of smells and feelings alone sent me into madness which only compared to the battlefield, but we ended up being safe this time lucky for me.
“Um.” I said a little nervous, it had felt like she somehow had reached into my bones and did something perverse to them. I had never felt so, weirdly good, but bad at the same time.
“I’m sorry about that,” she said turning to me. “It’s just after I remembered everything from last night I had to do it again. You weren’t drunk this time and, it filled everything I wanted from you.”
“I think I, need to go for a while.” She went forward backing me up into the bathroom, but only a few steps before I stopped halfway in the doorway. She stopped, but I could smell her sweet breath from how close she was. Her body and smell was intoxicating, drugs just couldn’t compare to her.
“No you don’t.” She jumped slamming me onto the ground, I felt like I shrank under her, her aura was just impressive. “I, will need your help more later, I feel fine now, but, the way that came on. I know it won’t be the last, for long.” I swallowed a little bit scared.
“I have guard duties.”
“You said a few days, and I know that wasn’t a lie.” She kissed me and then laid on top of me smiling. Over all I was larger in size than her, but she just had a way of making me feel oddly small next to her, even laying on top of me she seemed like a small giant.
“I, have a question.”
“What?”
“Was, this on purpose? By your design?” She smiled.
“Nope, I had no idea we would sleep together last night, or I would’ve made sure to use protection of some kind. While I do like you, I don’t want to have a filly with you. Understand this is all off of, well nothing. I don’t know why I have this urge.” She licked her lips and I shivered a little. “But, I’m glad you’ll be there to fill it.” She smiled.
“Can, I get up?” I asked carefully, I really didn’t want to be forced back into the bathroom with her, which we were already half way inside of. She licked my neck smiling a little bit. 
“No, I’m good like I am.” She smiled seemingly staring off in the distance. I didn’t know how I was going to get out of this. I’m sure Shadow would have told me I was the stallion, I need to take charge. Then again he was dominated by a freaking princess so, not much authority there, and certainly not enough to make me feel good with doing that to a very commanding mare. I felt more like she would bite my neck killing me than letting me go now.
