Five
When Ember awoke, the sun had not yet risen. The last thing he remembered was crying in Perry's arms. As he raised his head, something sharp grazed against his scalp. Pulling his head back, he looked up at what had collided with his head. It was one of Perry's mandibles. He was still in his father's arms.
They weren't sitting next to the fire anymore. Perry's back was propped up against a tree, and Ember was sitting in his lap. Perry was very big. The most massive pony Ember had ever met, excluding the princesses. While Ember wished he was that large, he lamented that being such a massive size meant that he couldn't be held like this anymore. It would be best if he could enjoy the feeling while he still could. After he became too large, he could give this feeling to somepony else, though, and that was a comforting thought.
He lay his head back where it had been. His pillow that night had been Perry's masculine chest. He could hear the gentle beating of Perry's heart and feel to slow pulse of his breathing. He wanted more, but didn't feel that he deserved to go any further. He was shocked at amazed that he had even come this far. He was ecstatic that his father didn't hate him. Perhaps in the future, Perry would be willing to sleep with him, but that would be too much for today.
The sun rose, and Ember rose with it. He had decided to go into the woods and bring back their tea leaves this morning, as a way of thanking Perry for his kindness. He knew the area fairly well, and had little trouble finding the pine trees on his own. A few small sprigs were all he needed. A quick snap of a twig, and he was back on his way. He knew the tree was powerful enough that it would grow back within the month.
When he returned, Perry had already set up the firepit. They had finished their hunt, and they would be heading back home today. All that was left was breakfast. Ember was a bit upset that he couldn't have breakfast ready by the time Perry woke up, but not very. In truth, he was just happy to be having breakfast with his father.
Today's breakfast was grapefruit and pickled asparagus. The mood had lightened significantly since they had arrived, and Ember felt spectacular. After breakfast, they packed up their encampment, making absolutely certain that they flooded the firepit to ensure that no trace of the flame remained, aside from the soggy mud that only moments ago had been ash. There were signs that they had been there, certainly. Fallen leaves had been pushed aside, a few slivers of blood stained the ground, and the pile of unused firewood that had been there when they arrived was even bigger now. If nopony else decided to camp here, then they wouldn't need to cut any the next time they came out. Whether that would be at the usually scheduled time three months from now, or later, considering their recent excursion.
They made their way out of the forest the same way they came in, exiting at the same lakeside hill. Again, Perry stopped at the top of the hill, looking down at the lake. This time, however, Ember could see tears forming in Perry's eyes. He had never seen his father cry before. It was unsettling.
He placed a hoof on Perry's shoulder. "What's down there? Why does it cause you such sorrow?"
Perry hugged Ember. "At the bottom of this hill is a ghost. There was... an accident. His life came to an end right in front of me." Ember could feel his father's tears dripping onto his shoulder. "It's my fault he's dead."
All Ember could think to do was to rub Perry's back, and usher him away from the lake.
When Perry regained his composure, he looked right into Ember's eyes. "I want you to promise me, Ember. Promise me that you won't be in anymore fights. If not for me, if not for yourself, I want you to think about those two innocents who were injured. Even if it was an accident, even if it's not your fault, seeing somepony die in front of you is harrowing."
"I know the feeling very well," Ember reminded Perry. "I saw my mother freeze. I saw my brother succumb to disease. Had you not come along, I'd have already been taken already in death's icy grip. I'm well aware of the consequences."
Perry gave a knowing smile, then leaned forward for another hug. "I don't want to lose anypony else. You mean the world to me, Ember."
Ember returned the hug. "I love you too, dad."
Perry was so wrapped up in the emotional moment that he hadn't realized the title Ember had just given him. He wouldn't realize it until the next day.
The train ride was a quick one, and they were back in Canterlot by lunch. Not that they were planning to have lunch together, as they had both enjoyed a soft pretzel with cheese on the train. When they arrived at their home, Magnolia took note of their smiles and assumed that their talk had gone well. She had been a bit worried, what with Perry's lack of social skills. She was glad to know that she was wrong this time.
"How was your trip?" she asked, putting down her pruning shears.
"Very fruitful," replied Perry, embracing his wife.
"Did you talk about anything interesting?"
Ember froze in his steps. He had revealed part of himself to Perry, but he wasn't ready for the rest of the world to know yet.
"Sorry, Mags," chuckled Perry. "That information is confidential. Just between the two of us, until he decides he's ready to tell it."
Ember smiled. It was good to know that Perry had his back. He felt that, with the strength of Perry's will standing behind him, he could withstand any hardship. After all, Perry was the ideal to which Ember strived. He was perfect.

Not necessarily hungry. It's meant to just be a reason to let them be completely alone together in the hopes of opening up. They just eat a fair amount because that's how they usually do this.

Perry was an experiment in biological warfare. Half pony, half dragon. His personality is the result of his complicated relationship with his adoptive father.

ahh well see i didnt know... consider adding that to the story
this is a good example of storytelling where you DONT need to add all the details.
I cannot figure out why this has bad marks i enjoyed it very much.
if you wanted you CAN add details but it would be distracting from the prospective of this story between ember and perry.
mabye if you add details like a bit of world building like how nervous and cringe they were both feeling when talking aboutbeing gay
very intresting that perry needs release constantly, im guessing he gets tired of rubbing himself as well?

It has dislikes because I have upset some very petty people here on FiMFiction. I usually have dislikes within ten minutes of posting. A lot of it also comes from people that haven't read it.
An instance stands out to me as my most cathartic moment of telling off a commenter. He was constantly talking about not feeling even remotely bad for the main character, then two-thirds of the way through, he mentioned not knowing a character that had said their own name like he was supposed to know who it was. As it turns out, he wasn't actually reading the story, because that character was pivotal to the second act.
If you're going to insult the story, at least read it, come on.
At any rate, yes, Perry does tire of rubbing himself. He even tires of having others involved. There are instances where he just wants to do stuff without having his dick interrupt everything. Alas, such is not the case. He will eventually end up with two separate harems before dying in a manner similar to the way his father died. Not the same, just similar.

That's the problem with having a very long backlog of stories that keeps growing. If I want to write a story about when Perry was temporarily the king of the dragons and had four males and two females sleeping in his bed every night, I have to clear out the stuff in front of it, first.
That doesn't follow show canon, by the way. That story was RPed long before the show decided how dragon society worked, when the closest we had was Dragon Quest.
