Fluttershy woke up, yawning silently as she cuddledup to...
Her eyes snapped open as the memories of the night hit her. The pegasus mare pulled slightly back to regard the sleeping form of Eon Guard. Fluttershy recalled how after their first kiss, initiated (to her surprise) by her, the stallion took initiative. But he turned out to be as nervous as she was, and about as... sloppy with kisses, too. Eon quickly given up on kissing her, and instead began licking her around face and neck. While that seemed strange, Fluttershy didn’t object, as it was quite pleasant, and reminded her a bit of a behaviour she spotted among her woodland friends when they tried to show somepony their affection. And while a concept of a stallion acting more like a critter than a pony was probably something that should make her worry, it didn’t really matter to her. In fact, it probably even helped her calm down... to a point at least.
Fluttershy recalled beginning to enjoy Eon’s tender licks, and had tried to shyly reply with her own, until she felt his hoof moving down her flank. Her panic kicked in once he reached her cutie mark. She pulled back, pushing away his hoof.
Eon had immediately pulled back, too, and she could see, instead of disappointment or anger, but sorrow in his eyes. Realized that he didn’t mean to push things too far without her consent, Fluttershy once again crept closer to him.
“I’m sorry, but... I’m not ready to go that far. You don’t mind, don’t you?” she asked him from up close. Once Eon nodded, she had added: “But I don’t mind cuddling...”
And so they did, as they ultimately fall asleep. Now Fluttershy was awake, being happier than ever. She never thought some stallion would take liking to a pathetic pony like her, who always shied away from nearly everything. But this one did. Fluttershy could tell that he wasn’t like those stallions her mother warned her about, that were only interested in mare’s body. If he was, there wouldn’t be an apology in his gaze when she stopped him, provided he would not continue regardless.
He was still sleeping, but his hoof and wing were wrapped around her, so if Fluttershy would want to get up, she would undoubtedly wake him. She was in no hurry though, as she enjoyed Eon’s warmth, even if she knew that his body heat was lower than an average pony’s. The sensation of feeling his breath upon her coat was also pleasurable.
Despite the comfort she was in, Fluttershy knew she had to get up soon. Besides needing to feed her critters, she had a weekly get-together with Rarity in about two hours. Normally, Fluttershy would wonder why her friend didn’t want to postpone their visit in a spa for another day, seeing how they went with Twilight just two days ago and they all planned to later go on a picnic with their friends. But after knowing Rarity for so long, the yellow mare knew that her friend would go to the spa again after the picnic.
Sighing inwardly, the shy pegasus pondered what would be the best way to wake up the stallion besides here, until the very obvious idea came to her. Leaning forward, Fluttershy once again pressed her lips against his, despite how terrible they both were at this. Immediately blushing, the pegasus mare shivered at the sensation. Gently, she moved her tongue through his slightly parted lips, and licked him at the roof of mouth.
After few heartbeats, Eon’s tongue responded by hugging hers sloppily. Satisfied for now, Fluttershy backed her head away to look into his deep, beautiful violet eyes.
“Good morning.” she whispered happily, and Eon, unable to reply with words, bumped her nose with his shyly. “I’m sorry I had to wake you up, but I will need to feed my animal friends, and...”
Eon followed her gaze down at his outstretched limbs, and nodded in understanding. He folded his wing and brought his hoof to himself, after which both of them stretched, their bodies a little stiff after spending night like this.
“Thanks.” Fluttershy said, nuzzling his muzzle gently. A happy hum escaped Eon’s throat at this treatment, and lasted few seconds after she had pulled away. “I will need to leave for few hours soon.” she started, but seeing the sadness in his eyes, she quickly continued. “I’m just going to meet with Rarity, after that I’ll be back. You will be fine by yourself, right?”
Eon Guard nodded, although obviously he was not happy with her leaving. Fluttershy sighed and began heading towards her kitchen. She thought Eon would stay in bed, perhaps fall asleep again, but to her mild surprise he was soon at her side. The pegasus stallion nuzzled her neck, looking into her eyes. Fluttershy without a problem read in his that he wanted to help her.
Time went on quickly as both of them worked together, despite that it took them a bit long to feed everypony. It certainly didn’t help that whenever some part of their bodies touched they paused in what they were doing for few heartbeats, much to the irritation of Angel, whose angry stomping always brought them back from their reveries.
“I won’t be long, I promise.” Fluttershy said about an hour after they got up as they stood in a doorway.
Eon still looked at her a bit unhappily, but not as crestfallen as to make her consider changing plans. He took a step towards her and nuzzled her once more, also licking her behind her ear. Fluttershy giggled at the treatment and licked him on a cheek in reply. She then pulled back, and giving him a warm smile, she turned around.
She had originally planned to trot all the way to the spa, but she was so happy that her wings took her flying by themselves.
Latios watched Fluttershy flew off towards Ponyville, wondering what he had gotten himself into.
He sighed as he took a step back and closed the door. He didn’t initially plan on sharing the same nest with her, but when she refused to go sleep in there, he had realized that it was the only way to make her rest in her bed. And all that happened afterwards... he simply couldn’t explain it. Just being close to Fluttershy made him stop thinking about anything else, and he only wanted to be as close to her as possible. He thought she wanted the same after she kissed him, and he was right to some extent. When she stopped him from reaching towards her private regions, he immediately backed away, afraid that she would make him go away. Or worse, that he hurt her. Thankfully, it turned out that she just wasn’t ready for mating, which he could understand. That did not stop them from nuzzling and licking, activities that the both found pleasant.
The Eon Dragon winced inwardly at the memory of whenever they kissed. He could easily tell that he wasn’t very good at this, as he never actually kissed anyone. Out of all creatures that he knew about before waking up, only humans seemed to that, and while he could assume their form easily, it somehow never crossed his mind to ever do that. Even when his own sister suggested that...
It was a few years after their father passed away. Being so young back then, they disliked spending too much time in their gardens, and instead flew all over the city, while using their abilities to remain invisible. Sometimes people would see them, due to them not being able to fully control their powers, but such slips would last only few seconds. Those sighting later would cause the rumors of them watching over Altomare to spread, and while it was true, that didn’t mean they wanted everybody to know about it.
During one particular flight, the two of them soared through the canals of Altomare where they spotted two young humans, male and female, in a gondola. They were sitting really close to one another, and their muzzles were touching. Much later Latios and Latias would find out that this activity was called ‘kissing’, but for now it seemed to them like nothing more than a strange human custom.
“They look like they’re having fun.” Latias commented after few heartbeats. “Wanna try it?”
“I don’t think we can get out mouths together in that angle.” Latios replied, and for some reason he felt strangely uncomfortable.
“So? We can take shapes of humans.”
“True, but still, I don’t think we should do that. Seems like a bad idea.”
Thankfully, that discussion ended with that. Kissing was, after all, something done between mates, not siblings. Now, for a brief moment, Latios regretted not agreeing. At least that way he would have some experience.
Pushing the thought completely away before it would make him feel bad about not having his sister here, Latios pondered those new developments. He was unsure as to what exactly was between him and Fluttershy.
“Are we mates now? Technically no, but... The way she looked at me when she woke me up, and when she was leaving... and I think... I feel the same... I think we’re in love.”
Suddenly, even despite Fluttershy not being here, the whole world seemed much brighter to him.
Twilight looked up from the book she was reading at the sound she knew so well. And indeed, there was a letter in Spike’s claws, having freshly appeared through the baby dragon’s breath.
“This must be Celestia’ reply to my letter about Eon.” she exclaimed happily, hoping that her teacher could explain to her where this city of Altomare was exactly.
Not wanting to wait too long, she grabbed the scroll with her magic and unfolded it, wanting to read it herself. Her eyes darted from line to line in a matter of seconds, and soon she had finished reading Celestia’s letter.
“Huh?!”
