"So what do ya want to do first?" Braeburn asked Soarin.

"Some toys would be nice."

Braeburn smiled. "Which one"

Soarin looked around and his eyes spotted a large tub of block. "The blocks"

"Then your wish is my command." Braeburn said with a little bow.

He trotted over to the tub of blocks, and dragged it over to Soarin. The pegusus grabbed the tub and turned it over, spilling the blocks everywhere. He quickly grabbed a hoofull of blocks and started building. Braeburn couldn't help but smile at the pure happiness that Soarin was showing.

Braeburn had another idea that would be sure to embarrass the pegusus. He grabbed a camera and slowly snuck back to Soarin. 

"Hey Soarin."

He turned his head, and was blinded by a bright light and a click.

"That's going in our photo album for sure." Braeburn said with a giggle.

Partly blinded by the sudden light the pegusus gets up and tries to regain his vision. Walking  blindly turned out to be a bad idea. As he walked forward he triped over a pile of blocks, and fell forward. Braeburn too busy smiling at the picture did not notice him get up, but felt him fall, and with a quick run was by his partners side. Soarin was more surprised by the fall, and in the process the pacifier had fallen out of his mouth and he had cut his hoof, causing blood to drip down his leg. The sudden pain of a cut hoof caused tears to slowly leaked out of the pegusus eyes.

Braeburn saw the tears start flowing, and grabbed Soarin's head and set it on his lap. 

"Shhh, its going to be ok." He slowly rubbed the crying stallions back to try to calm him down. Braeburn grabbed this pacifier, and slowly inserted it into Soarin's mouth. Soarin took the pacifier and sucked on it to try to calm his nerves. Breaburn carried the hurt pegusus over to the couch and laid him down. He went into the kitchen and grabbed a bandage. He returned and with some calming words bandaged the wound.

"Hey bwehbuwn?" called the pacified pegusus

"Yes" 

"Cowld you cuwdwe me?"

With a small smile he trotted over and cuddle up to the pegusus, and the laid there for a few minutes, one holding the other. 

"Hey buddy you rea..." Soarin was fast asleep, having fallen asleep cuddled up next to Braeburn. The farm pony rubbed his main slowly, getting a few loose strands out of his sleeping face. 

Braeburn slowly got off the couch, making sure to not wake the sleeping pony. He grabs a blanket and slowly drapes it over him. The earth pony quietly kissed his forehead and walked away to finish preparing dinner for he two of them.
