Love's Complicated

Chapter V

Prism, the hugest loser in Ponyville, and his little brother were laying on the bed, both of them extremely bored. They hadn't seen their girls in two days... and Prism was still trying to find a way to approach her. She even seemed to start dating Pound Cake, his double-enemy. He had no idea how to make it up to her... Especially after what she saw with Whirlwind. Whirlwind was a nice girl. Why did she do that? Oh right, jealousy. She broke up with him and wants him back now? This mare knew him way too much: she knew he could be easily manipulated. He just needed a bit more time with Candy before he could lose this bad habit.

Prism moved to the side, looking at the window.

As for Icy... Cloudy and him seemed to have quite a cute relationship. Cloudy already has a crush on him and the guy apparently enjoys talking to her. They also needed a bit more time for love, even young. Then, Icy would also forget about his stupid baby crush on Whirlwind. Apparently, this mare was everywhere in Icy's and Prism's lives. She also started dating Hot Head again. Hope she won't do anything bad to him... Nah, he isn't like Prism. Except for the cool guy part. And Nidra... at least she didn't stick her muzzle into his moving on business. They didn't love each other anyway.

Icy buried his little face in his brother's wings.

"Loser...", he grumbled, giving small punches to his brother's back.

"I know I amm...", his brother groaned as well.

Rainbow Dash went in after a knock on the door.

"You guys sure aren't staying in bed all day! C'mon, get up! We've got some cloud cleaning to do."

"BUT MOOOOOM"

"No butts! Now let's go!", she cheered and opened the door wide open.


Thirty minutes later, here they were, clearing the skies like any normal pegasus... Cloudy Storm, who was there, seemed to quite enjoy it. Icy decided to go talk to her, despite the fact she was 'grounded'. Cloudy at first didn't want to break the rules, but it soon didn't matter anymore. Prism looked at them with a sad smile, then down to the ground. His eyes twitched and looked straight at Cotton Candy, who was next to Pound Cake. His expression was even sadder now. And his stare so deep Cotton Candy looked back.

His green eyes were impossible to look away from. As Pound Cake kept talking about how many competitions he had won, but she wasn't listening anymore. It seemed that his eyes were saying sorry, and sincerely. But it wasn't enough anyway... Even if she really, badly wanted him back. She looked back at Pound Cake.

"Sorry, bro can you stop for a second?"

"... bro...? Uh, sure, I guess..."

She smiled with her cute, adorable, irresistible smile and Prism's face darkened a bit, snorting with envy as he wanted her to smile to him that way again. His heart twitched when he remembered their first date. It was adorable. Nothing like with Whirlwind. It was always so 'cool' and at first sight, we could think they were best friends until they started kissing. Candy trotted under Prism, who flew down his cloud. He couldn't help but grab Candy's cheeks and stick a passionate kiss on her lips. Her eyes widened in surprise. She pushed him away, though she wanted him to continue.

"Listen... Prism... You, um... apparently like... having 'stuff' with several girls... at a time and..."

"No, 'Dy that's not what yo-"

"BUT IT'S FINE, really. Well... I can't have that kind of relationship... but I'm sure another mare or stallion's free for... that."

"Candy I just want you to listen, it was Whirlwind who forced me... She like manipulated me and..."

"Yeah and you just found her attractive enough to cheat on me!", she almost barked at him.

"No... You know I don't control myself when...", he started tearing up. "Please, Candy, I need more time, I need more dates with you, it would change everything... Just, please... let's date again."

He moved in closer. Candy touched his cheek where a tear rolled down with her hoof. Prism is... crying? Wow... I never saw him crying before, except the time when we were still kids and he fell from th... getting off-topic here. She removed her hoof to place her lips, then gave him kisses all over his face.

"Is that a yes?", he smiled.

"Nope", she giggled. "It's an okie dokie lokie!"

He chuckled and hugged his little mare with his large arms. She was too nice. Too forgiving. Too cute. Too pretty. Too much better than all he had. As they huggled, he looked up to the clouds to see how Icy and Cloudy were doing. Weren't completely DATING but... it was a start. And Cloudy was blushing at the small distance between them. Prism looked back to Cotton Candy.

"I need to have a word with Pound Cake. What I did to him is pretty unfair as well..."

"Good luck, sweeti-", he choked.

"Sweetie?!", she laughed. "What kind of cool couple call each other Sweetie??"

"I-I'm sorry...", he chuckled, embarrassed.

"It's fine, daaaarling.", she giggled more and ran to Pound Cake.

It only took a few minutes, but there was a stormy cloud over Pound Cake's head. Poor guy..., thought Prism. He didn't like him, but it was true Candy didn't act right with him. But it was his fault anyway... Candy came back, a bit worried.

"He won't talk to me for weeks...", she groaned.

"Don't worry... You've got other cool guys who care about you."

Candy smiled and buried her face in his chest fluff.
