Kevin stayed over at the Cake’s house to conceal himself from his own future self before going out the next day. He waited an hour after he thought he had left for the portal before going off into the world. He bound off to Fluttershy’s house. She had seen her birthday present early, and although it seemed a bit creepy, he knew that it would become something great for her. She would always have him at her side, and given that he had a pocketwatch at her cottage that did the same for him, Kevin would have Fluttershy with him at all times. Neither of them would ever be alone. They’d always have each other.
Kevin stopped by Rose’s storefront to buy a bouquet of flowers, hoping that it would help make up for his accidental, unnecessary disturbance of her delicate emotions. He wanted to take away whatever despair she felt during that short period of time. It hurt knowing that she could have felt any bit so hurt.
As he arrived, Kevin knocked on the solid oak door. He waited only for a few moments before Fluttershy answered.
Kevin had come back for her, and he would always be. He had to help her even when he couldn’t be there. It hurt them too much. It was called love.
