Braeburn sighed walking through the small town of appleloosa. He was kinda bored. He had done all that was needed to be done. He walked to the top of the cliff were he spent most of his time there to get away from others and think. But when he got to the top of the cliff he saw something. Something flying towards him. He gasped as he saw something blue speed by him.
“SOARIN!?” Braeburn asked hoping it would be him.
“Well who els would it be?” Soarin said turning around from the wall he was facing.
Braeburn ran over to him and hugged him. “Soarinive missed yall so much.”
Braeburn said while blushing slightly.
Soarin noticed and giggled a bit “Im so glad ive got some free time to come and see you!”
Braeburn smiled “Yeah its grate to see you again soarin!”
He smiled and he and soarin started to walk side by side back to town talking about how things have been and catching up with each other.
"So hows things been for you braeburn?” Soarin asked as they kept walking.
Braeburn smiled “its going allright. Its quite quiet here.”
Just then there was a big gust of wind. It blew of Braeburns hat showing a large cut along his head. Soarin gasped
“Braeburn what? Happen??”
Braeburn sighed and put his hat back on “Its nothing soarin just a little cut I got from apple bucking.”
Soarin sighed and he saw some blood run down the side of Braeburns head.
“Braeburn…That’s a fresh wound isn’t it? You can tell me what happened”
Braeburns ears drooped “soarin…I-im being abused.” He said softly as he pawed the floor. He had never told any pony that he was being abused before.
Soarin gasped and gently put a wing around him.
"Its ok Braeburn I promise I wont let any pony hurt you.”
BraeBurn shook his head. `No soarin….Dont try to help me….im begging you……it wont help at all.` he said no shaking.
`Look……Ill protect you I promise BraeBurn…Look why don’t we go back to your place and we can talk a bit more?`Soarin said with a concerned tone.
Braeburn sighed as he started to walk with soarin following right by his side.
The once bright blue sky was now a dark gray and there were a lot of clouds scattered around the sky.
Soarin sighed as he noticed the bad weather.
When they got to BraeBurns house they walked inside.
`Do you want anything Soarin?`Braeburn asked
Soarin shook his head.
`Imallright thank you….Look BraeBurn….Tell me whats been going on please. ` he said in a concerned tone.
Braeburn nodded and he sat down next to soarin. He was slightly shaky now.
`Look Soarin….Your my best friend….ah know ah can tell yall anything…..what happened is……well yall know that when I was a youngling my parents died…`
Soarin nodded and gently put a wing around him.
`Well…..ah didn’t have no pony to look after me…..and then well some pony came along and offerd to look after me….she was nice and all at first….but as time went on….she started to be mean and she started to beat me up…..ah didn’t tell any pony because it was sacred….She said……If I told any pony she would kill who I told…..and ah don’t want anything to happen to yallSoarin..`
Soarin gasped but let out a small growl.
`When I get my hoofs on whos been hurting ya. I swear to celestia they will not live to see the next night.`
Brake Burn tried to hold back his tear. `No soarin….you will only end up hurt…`
Soarin just nodded but he knew he was still going to help him.
Braeburn yawned. `Its late…we should get some sleep.`
Soarin nodded. `Ill get going..`
Braeburn shook his head. `No its ok you can stay here…You can stay In the bedroom…` braeburn said with a small smile.
Soarin shook his head. `Its your home…you be staying in there. Not me. I have no right.`
Braeburn just shook his head. `No I insist soarin…yall are my pal…and it’s the least I can do for ya.`
Soarin sighed. `Its your place though.`
Again braeburn shook his head opening a small mahogany door.
Soarin just nodded walking in the room. He didn’t really want to start a argument. Looking around the room there was a small yellow bed in the middle of the room. Soarin looked at one of the wall. He noticed a wonderbolts poster. But next to it was just a poster of him. Soarin let out a small chuckle.
He thought that it was a little creepy yet cute at the same time. He never thought that braeburn would admire him.
Soarin looked at braeburn. `Are you sure about this?`
Braeburn nodded. Walking out of the room.
Soarin flopped onto the bed. It was so nice of braeburn to stay here. He felt his eyes shut as his head hit the pillow.
Soon he was awoken by a loud clap of thunder.
He sat up. He saw a small crack of light coming from under the door. Just then he heard knocking. `Come in.` he said
Just then brake burn walked in loking at the floor. His ears were drooped.
“soarin…..can I sleep in here with you.”
Soarin just nodded as braeburn walked over to him hopping onto the bed. Soarin smiled a little bit just as braeburn curled up in a ball.
Soarin put a gental wing around him just as he began to shake. `Its ok.` he reassured braeburn as they both drifted of into sleep.
It was now moring Soarin was awoken by a large ray of sun light in the room. Looking around the room. Braeburn wasn’t there. He sat up. He could smell something fresh. As if it had just been cooked.
He hopped of the bed. Opening the door he walked around , trying to find braeburn. He stumbled up on the kitchen.
`Morin partner.`Braeburn said smiling as he popped a pie onto the table.
` Ah made this for ya.`
Soarin smiled. It was very kind of him to do that. Walking over to the table he sat down. `Thanks.`Soarin said as he put his face into the pie and he began to eat it.
He heard a small chuckle and looked up to see Braeburn.
Soarin smiled. `wow that was amazing…I never knew you could cook like that.` he said chuckling.
`Say why don’t I show ya around today?`Braeburn asked.
Soarin nodded standing up along with Braeburn.
Braeburn started to walk soarin was following him.
Soarin frowned he was worried about Braeburn…after what he told him last night……
They were both walking around town. Braebunr was showing soarin everything. Explaining every little detail of the town.
Soarin just chuckled. He never noticed this before but….he thought that braeburn was rather….cute…… He shook his head coming back to reality.
Braeburn walked over to him. `Are you allright partner?` He said gazing into soarin`s eyes.
Soarin began to feel a small blush spread across his face. He just nodded. But soon he was snapped out of his trance.
