//------------------------------// // Applejack's Fluster Button // Story: The Brunojack Chronicles // by Lilynotepad34 //------------------------------// Applejack had fallen head over hoofs for Bruno . There was no question. Bruno Barkson had been her first serious relationship. The mare was said to be an open book. For friendly reasons that was true, but for romantic reasons the earth pony never let anyone in. Perhaps it was her older brother. Maybe it was her commitment to her family. Bruno was setting her ablaze everytime she turned around. The rottweiler was pushing a cart out of a mud puddle. His shoulders glistened with sweat that made his muscles more defined than usual. Sure Applejack had seen Big Mac do it countless times for friends and family in the spring in Ponyville after the snow melted but Bruno was not her brother. Bruno was a wealthy bachlor who didn't have to lift a paw to get what he wanted. If Bruno wanted a chocolate bar that wouldn't melt in August he could get it before even saying so. But the rottweiler didn't want life handed to him on a silver platter. He wanted to be out there enjoying its twists and turns like everyone else. Applejack found that very surprising after meeting many ponies from privledged families. This dog could treat everyone like pond scum so why didn't he? Because he cared. He cared if a little fox kit's doll got stuck in a tree. He cared if a labrador's purse got stolen by a bulldog. Bruno cared because he wanted to, not because dad would send him a limo. “Miss me?” Applejack jumped. “Bruno you tricky varmit! You nearly scared me out of my fur.” “I have that effect on beautiful girls.” Bruno wrapped her up in his sweaty arms. Applejack shivered. “Cold?” “No um..you..I mean..uh.” The mare was at a loss for words. Her face was on fire. Applejack squirmed with embarrassment. “Is there a problem?” “N-no..” (A few hours later in Rarity's room..) “He said that? Was his eyebrow cocked? Was he smirking?” “Yes , like a rifle ,and yes.” Rarity giggled. “Oh my! Bruno does care about you that's for sure!” Applejack blushed. “Quit beatin around the bush! What's goin on that I'm not getting?” Rarity nearly swooned. “Darling as much as I love you , you can be truly dense. Bruno is clearly trying to sexually frustrate you!” “He-WHAT-why?! How does he know what-why?” Rarity composed herself. “Well dear you must be giving him mixed signals. He must be unsure of your feelings for him!” “But he should know I care. We hug , and touch paws from time to time.” “That's it?” “Well I'm sorry , we can't all roll around in the hay all night like SOME couples!” “I never..ki-been with anyone before. Rarity I ain't comfortable , I don't know how these things work!” Rarity arched an eyebrow. “You haven't had your first kiss?!” “No! Is..is that bad?” “No dear of course not. Does Bruno know that?” “No! I didn't tell him cause I was worried he..he would laugh at me.” “The confident Applejack is worried of being ridiculed? Darling if Bruno loves you, which he truly does if he's trying so hard to read you, then he won't laugh at you.” “Yeah you're right Rarity. Thanks for the pep talk.” “Anytime dear.” (The Next Day..) Bruno was dressed to kill in a ripped flannel shirt, a black cowboy hat with a crocodile tooth necklace. The shirt sleeves were cut off. His furry shoulders looked even more muscled. He smelled of pine. He took a deep breath and knocked on Applejack's door. Applejack opened the door to find Bruno in the sexiest outfit she had ever seen. Wait, where did that come from? She blushed. The rottweiler had a killer smirk on his face. “Dang it all Rarity was right! Shoot he looks hotter than the first day of August!” “Hello lovely. Nice to see some red in that pretty orange this morning.” Applejack's face burned even more. She was crumblimg inside. “You ok? You keep staring at me with your mouth open. I don't want flies in there.” “No I'm fine. You're fine- I mean yeah I've never been better!” Bruno smiled and cocked an eyebrow. “Come again?” “You look hot! I mean great, good um..” “Stop. I know. Applejack stop stuttering like a broken record. You're cute as all heck when you get flustered, but I didn't come here to watch you crash and burn. Though it's very cute when you babble.” Bruno chuckled. Then he kissed the mare. Applejack tensed up until she realized she was ready. Bruno was telling her to stop worrying. The dog entered her mouth. His breath smelled like cinnamon. The earth pony responded with a passion she didn't know she was capable of. “Applejack.” “Hm?” “Applejack you're gonna knock me over. Are we going to go inside? If you are ready..um I would rather not have the neighbors see that...” Bruno was blushing. “Uh..sorry about that..I got carried away..I guess..” Applekjack mumbled, feeling embarrassed at her lack of self control. The couple walked inside. “Did I just make out with Bruno on my porch? Crabapples! So much for not knowing what I'm doin! I hope Rarity didn't see us...or Rainbow Dash! She'll never let me live this down!” ***Turning Up The Heat*** “She did WHAT?! No way! We are talking about Applejack right?!” “Yes Amazon this is Applejack we're discussing.” said Bruno rolling his eyes. “So wait tell me again what happened. I need a recap here.” “Fine you closet perv..here it is. I went all sexy redneck to impress her, then she gets all hot and bothered when she opens the door...” “Wait hold up! Applejack has a fluster button? How does miss calm and rational get all horny?! Like how does that even work?!” Bruno sighs..his friend is such a dork sometimes.. “She starts sweating like crazy and her face turns into a tomato. Then she can't speak without stuttering. I personally think it's adorable.” “Oh my gosh! That is so freakin cute! Then what happened?” “Amazon are sure you just like chicks?” “Shut up! I'm a hopeless romantic! Just tell me before I explode!” “Then I kissed her.” “You kissed her? And then what was her reaction to her first kiss ever?” “You are a stalker Amazon. I worry about you..” “Tell me or so help me God Bruno I will send a Tundra zombie on you!” “Um..ok then...She kissed me back. Then we started getting heated. She nearly knocked me over. I told her to cool down since we were in public. She got really embarrassed but then we talked it over. And here we are.” “Oh my god! Bruno you whipped Applejack! This is crazy! I'm freaking out!” “I worry about you Amazon..you need a life Bro..” “Dude I have one! It's analyzing yours!” “Creep.” “Proud of it Dollface.”
