//------------------------------// // Beware // Story: Forbidden fruit // by fluttercord45 //------------------------------// "Why today? Why now?" Fluttershy muttered to herself. She sat in the kitchen, surrounded by quiet darkness, and gazed at a bowl of shiny red apples. She could feel her teeth sharpening into fangs, eager to bite the apple and suck out its juice, but she slapped both hooves over her snout.  With all of her might, she struggled against herself, trying to look away from all the apples resting in the fruit bowl. The full moon’s light shined through the window and illuminated the fruit.  It was impossible not to look at them when they glinted so deliciously…  Her hooves started to lower as she became overwhelmed by desire. Slowly, she began to change.  Red poured into her blue irises.  Her coat faded to a pale yellow.  Her mane became disheveled. The tips of her ears grew tufted.  Lastly, to complete the transformation, the feathers of her wings turned to leather. She licked her lips before grabbing one of the apples, raising it to her lips, and biting into the crisp flesh.  The juice flowed freely over her tongue and once she had sucked the last drop from it, she spat the dried husk onto the ground. A knock at the door startled her.  Relying on pure, base instinct, she hissed and retreated into the darkness. With a flash of light, Discord appeared in the living room.  The light receded and he found himself engulfed by shadows. “Hello, Fluttershy, are you in here?”  he called.  “Your door was locked, but I knew you wouldn’t mind if I let myself in without using the door at all.” There was no response, save for the sound of something dropping to the floor in the adjoining room.  He walked into the kitchen and though he saw no sign of Fluttershy, he did see a few apples rolling on the ground, some fresh and a few husks.  He kept looking around until he saw something moving quickly in the darkness. “Fluttershy, is that you?” Discord asked. Still no audible response, but there was movement in the darkness again. "Okay, Fluttershy, you’ve had your fun, but why don’t you come out and-” He was interrupted by a bat pony suddenly in front of him, hissing. “Uah!” he shouted as he fell backwards.  He looked up to see that the pony was Fluttershy, yet at the same time not Fluttershy.  “Fluttershy?” he asked.  “Is that you?” She made a sound somewhere between a soft giggle and a sinister chuckle.  “Hi, Discord,” she said in a husky voice.  “My, my, you look absolutely divine tonight.” “Uh, I really like your mane?”  Discord said a bit nervously.  “You look different.” “You like it?” she asked as she circled him, laughing. “I kinda do, to be honest,” he answered, watching her. “Well, you do like anything chaos, don’t you?”  She put her hoof on his neck and slowly ran it down to his chest, sending shivers through his body. He blushed.  “Indeed I do.”  He smiled slightly.  “What happened, my dear?  Why do you look like that?” She giggled and explained, “It’s quite funny.  Every full moon, I turn into this to feed.”  She gazed at him with half-lidded eyes. “Really?  You think I would’ve noticed that,” he thought to himself. She began to sniff around him.  “You smell nice, Discord.”  She moved closer, continuing to sniff. Discord slowly started to back away from her. “Oh, Discord, don’t be afraid.”  She grinned lightly.  “I just want to smell that lovely scent you have.” He backed away a bit more from her, but realized he was trapped when he bumped into the wall.  She came closer, sniffing still, smelling whatever scent he had on him that was driving her crazy.  Once she had her fill of his smell, she looked up at him and smiled. “Where are my manners?”  Come and sit down.  Dinner’s ready,” she said as she moved away from him and stepped back. Discord released a sigh and tried to relax.  “Of course, my dear Fluttershy.  What’s for dinner?” She stopped, laughed, and turned to face him.  “You.” “Wait, what?!” She tackled him to the ground and hissed at him.  Discord’s heart was beating faster.  For a moment, he felt scared for his life, but when he looked into her adorable red eyes, he felt at ease.  He snapped his claw, disappeared, then reappeared behind her. “I have to say, I like this side of you, my dear,” he said, giving her a toothy grin. She gave a little huff.  “Better than my timid self.”  She was about to tackle him again, but he wrapped around her like a snake trapping its prey. “While I do like your timid self, I must say this assertive side is a real turn-on.”  He slowly ran his paw through her mane, which was somehow soft and rough at the same time.  “Come, show me more of your assertiveness,” he softly whispered into her tufted ear. “You’re too cute, Dizzy.”  She squeezed her way out from his snake-like grip.  Once she was out, she slowly brushed her tail under his chin, sending shivers through his body again, before she began to walk away from him. “Wait for me!”  He started to chase after her. “You’ll see what I have planned for you,” she said as she swished her tail back and forth. “Ooh, I love the way you talk, my dear.”  His heart throbbed as he looked at her. Without warning she grabbed him by the tail and dragged him into her room. Fluttershy yawned as a ray of sunlight landed across her face.  She slowly turned the other way and her eyes fluttered open.  Her vision was blurry for a moment until it cleared up and to her surprise, she saw Discord asleep in her bed, a smile on his face. “No more, Fluttershy, I don’t have the strength,” he muttered in his sleep. “Discord!”  she shouted. He opened his eyes from the sound of her voice. “Huh?”  he muttered quietly.  He saw Fluttershy looking at him and smiled.  “Why hello, my dear Fluttershy.” “What are you doing in my bed?” she asked. “Oh, come now my dear, after all we did last night,” he started, bringing her close to him.  “you didn’t expect me to be able to go home, did you?”  He began to stroke her mane. She blushed and looked up at him.  “Um, what exactly did we do last night?” “Well, we came into your room and we, well… had some fun.”  He gave a little wink. “Um, what kind of fun do you mean?” He leaned over to her ear and whispered.  The more details he told her the more her face turned red. “Oh… my… Discord, I-” “I have video footage, if you want to see?” he interrupted. “What?!”  she yelled in surprise. “You insisted on it.”  He snapped his paw to summon a film projector and a screen. After counting down to three, it began to show her and Discord going at it very passionately.  Fluttershy couldn’t believe what she was seeing and hearing.  She had never felt so embarrassed knowing she had done that to Discord. “Fluttershy…  I think I’m going to-” She couldn’t take it anymore.  She covered herself in the blankets, trying to block everything she was hearing. “Come now, my dear, there’s nothing to be ashamed of.”  He wrapped his arm around her blanket-covered self.  “If it makes you feel any better, you were a very tender yet passionate lover.” “I took advantage of you,” she squeaked as she peeked out from under the blanket. “Dear Fluttershy.  It’s not like I haven’t thought about it before.”  He gave her a warm smile.  “Ooh, this is my favorite part!”  He pointed at the screen. She slowly looked at the screen just in time to see both of them wrapped in each other’s embrace. “I love you, dear Fluttershy.” “I love you, too, Dizzy.” They shared a passionate kiss. She couldn’t decide if she should feel more embarrassed or proud that she, in a way, had had the courage to make love to the draconequus she had a crush on. She quietly sighed.  “Discord, I do love you, but not in… that… way.” He laughed as he pulled the blanket off her.  “Are you sure, my dear?  I’ve caught you a few times looking at me with a longing gaze.” “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.”  She blushed while looking away from him. “You say you don’t, but you know.”  He gently placed his paw under her chin to lift it to force her to meet his gaze.  “I wouldn’t have done it with anypony but you.  I’ve been waiting my entire life to find someone to share myself with.  I don’t know how I got along before I had you in my life, my dear Fluttershy.” She didn’t know what to say, simply blushing more. “I know I joke around a lot and play tricks on ponies, but that’s one thing I would never joke about.” She kept quiet as she leaned in close to him and kissed his lips.  Discord didn’t react in surprise.  All he did was return the kiss while holding her closer to him than ever before.  She slowly broke the kiss and gazed up at him, saying four little words that she’d always wanted to say. “I love you, Discord.” "I love you too, Fluttershy.”  He placed one last soft kiss on her lips, then slowly ran his paw through her mane.  “Happy Hearts and Hooves day, my love,” he whispered. “Oh my, I forgot it’s Hearts and Hooves Day,” she said quietly. “I haven’t.”  He snapped his claw, summoning breakfast in bed:  heart-shaped pancakes with butter and syrup, a side of hashbrowns, and some milk. “Thank you, Discord.”  She smiled. “Anytime, my dear.  Enjoy your meal.” She began to cut a piece from the heart-shaped pancake and ate it. “How is it?”  he asked. She swallowed it before she could say, “It tastes lovely.” “And after that I have another surprise for you.”  He started to smirk. “Oh?  What is it?” “Why not take a look outside?”  He chuckled as he snapped his claw. She got up from the bed and peered outside her window to see it was night again already, as well as a full moon hanging in the sky. “What?  It’s supposed to be morning!”  She slowly backed away from the window.  She felt the tightness in her teeth as they sharpened into fangs, then bumped into Discord.  Looking up, she could see a little grin. “What have you done?”  she asked quietly as the bit of pain of her transformation started to sink in. “I thought this would be a nice of pace.  How do you feel?” She stumbled to the ground as she slowly changed into her bat self.  “Discord,” she said, her voice changing from soft to husky. “Yes, Fluttershy?”  he asked, watching. Once the transformation was complete, she looked up at him, letting out a hiss. “Why hello again,” he said in a soothing voice.  “Ready for a romantic day of fun?” She chuckled softly, staring into those mismatched eyes of his.  “Oh, you have no idea what I have planned for you.” “I think I have an idea.”  He grinned. “And that would be what now?”  she asked, running her hoof down his neck. “I think you know, my dear,” he responded. He was about to kiss her, but she pushed him onto her bed.  She climbed on top of him and gave him a half-lidded stare. “Remember, I’m okay with being bitten as long as you don’t take actual chunks out like you did last time,” he said, giving her a bit of a lovestruck gaze. “No promises,” she said with a giggle. “Did you at least re-stock the bandages?” “Maybe.  I’ll clean your little wound quickly.”  She rubbed his chin. “Remind me, what do I get for letting you do this?”  He grinned more. She leaned in close to his ear and whispered, “You’ll see and find out.”  She leaned down further and kissed his soft neck. “That’s all the motivation I need,” he said as he snapped his claw, killing the lights.
