Through Dusk's Eyes

1.5 - At First

Author's Note:

A lil drabble of the very first time.

Dusk knew that it was supposed to be a one night stand and nothing more.

He was but a humble job taker, presented with the opportunity to get his hooves around an expensive artifact that he knew would sell high in the market but when given a much better deal, he didn’t have to think twice about worming into the night Empress’ bed. After all, it was just one hot night with an ancient, entitled Alicorn. Ofcourse, Dusk didn’t stop to question why it happened in the first place, or why it still continued but it was none of his business. Maybe the alicorn had a thing for scruffy unicorns that try to steal from her, who knows. It didn’t matter, after all, he got paid and laid. If that isn’t a good deal, he didn’t know what was. It was a simple job and he accepted.

But it didn’t turn out so simple in the end, as it always does with him.

A one night stand was supposed to be short, sweet and as fleeting as the wind against his fur decided to suddenly turn into so much more than he bargained for. At first, it was nothing he couldn't handle. Just Nightmare Moon sending letters due to that hook of magic that he knows was pinned onto his.

He sometimes wonders if she knew how special that action was. Dusk learned to not question it.

And well... when she comes in so much stronger, Dusk Shine couldn’t bring himself to outright turn it away. Turn her away.

He needs the money in the end and well, all things considered, fucking somepony isn’t the worst thing he could be doing to keep the gold running. (That’s what he tells himself, anyway.)

Obviously it has nothing to do with the fact that, even with all the fuss that Nightmare Moon does in the public, Dusk can’t stop the fact that she makes him feel like somepony. Like someone. Wanted. Needed. Even if it's just like this, even if it's only through rough biting and hooves pressed against fur. Even if it's only temporary.

Then Nightmare Moon makes that once a month arrangement with him, in the full moon and the already odd situation tilts a bit to the side when it becomes a little hotter, a little more heavier. Their meetings aren’t just scandalous stress relievers, quick and on the point. Now, Moon wants to have even more fun. She adds in costumes and toys, and more and more silly little things into their deal that Dusk’s not above or below in doing. He has always been a pleaser and it's good to know that he could please at least one pony.

He spends the night and wakes up in Moon’s bed more times than he’d like to admit. Most of the time, he’ll leave before she even wakes up. But there are some days when he wakes up to her propped up and leaning over him, pretty and blown wide pupils that were heavy-lidded and bleary with something Dusk pretends isn’t there.

He also pretends the rush of heat that surges up his spine doesn’t exist, and that it doesn’t count for anything because he knows that he wasn’t supposed to see this. That what just happened wasn’t something for his eyes, for him.

In the end, As sleazy as it all is, it’s a good business deal and he wants to milk it for all it’s worth while it lasts - because he’s sure that it won’t. Nothing that burns this hot for too long is meant to last.

[Mix-up]

Nice to see a little expansion on the situation between Dusk and Nightmare Moon, so he found, possibly one of the Elements, and sold it to her that got him into her good graces; could she know that he had handed her over a tool that could defeat her which only he could have used?

I wonder if Nightmare Moon have put any charms on his to keep Dusk leached to her. How abusive is she to him, and how much does he actually crave it. I hope to see some of the toys and outfits she showers him with. Does she do pet play with her, does she parade him around the castle as her pet and play thing?

Does Dusk have any sense of curiosity to me, or a desirer to learn for his own sake or is money all that matter to him in the end, or let the gravy train come in until it dries out. Would he let an ancient book be burn if he was ordered to, without question; can he even read? What magical skills does he have that helps with his thieving, teleportation maybe, or is he inept at magic and only count on his hooves to get the work done?

I wonder if Nightmare moon will send Dusk to steal the other elements that are in the possession of other great houses, that just so happen to be other bearers and somehow always find himself ending up being fucked by them, before he has the chance to steal the elements?

I wonder what other benefits Dusk has for being Nightmare's lover, can he have access to resected areas of the city(where he can steal more), get free meals, clothing, anything that would help him look more attractive for her in his visits. How does he compare to other stallions?

I wonder what happened to his family are they pore too, crippled, outcasts, or was Dusk simply disown by them, trap in prison or work house, or was an orphan all his life?

Can't wait to see more of this.
