Can you take the Heat?
It was on an average day, just like any other in my life, when everything took a turn for the strange. Thanks to some dark magic from a back ally witch doctor, a flying bucket of KFC, and my naturally poor luck, my body and soul was banished to some alternate dimension.
Yeah, that sounds pretty weird, right? Well that’s not even the half of it.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on how I want to look at this, the Ancient Eldritch portal I was shoved through spat me out in a land filled with sunshine, friendship, and ponies.
Well, I could think of worse planes of existence to crash land into, so that’s a plus. The locals had seemed friendly enough, especially after they had stopped running around like someone had lit the world on fire… The only problem with the locals was that they’re horses. Sentient, civilized horses for sure, yet still horses.
Now, I'm not saying this is a bad thing, because I'm trying not to be a bigot here; it’s because I'm actually allergic to horse hair. This is the kind of allergy that comes equipped with burning eyes, rashes on the skin, and a near constant sneezing fit. The works.
The first few weeks had been totally miserable as the local Royalty and team of pony Avengers tried to help me find a way back home, but when that turned out to be a dead end with no possible escape from the planet I thanked everyone (They seemed to insist that I should refer to them as everypony, as well as that the constant horse puns was normal), and when all was said and done I packed what little I had and moved out into the dark forest near one of the towns.
Some more sane people might think that this was a terrible idea; this was an ancient and evil forest, it’s dark and looming shadows filled with manticores, dragons, and the occasional supervillian. It was a dangerous and frightening place, even in daylight.
But in truth the positives outweighed the negatives; I had as much space as I wanted, there wasn't any taxes to deal with, I could live without my nose and eyes acting like someone had pepper sprayed them every minute, and best of all I could eat all the meat I could ever wish for without the guilt of doing so in front of the herbivores crying like I had just murdered their best friend and ate their corpse… Which might have been the case a few times…
And honestly the monsters weren't so tough once I learned to properly use the old sword I found stuck in a rock a few months ago.
There were also the neighbours, which unlike the local wildlife seemed just as friendly as the ponies. Steven the sea serpent lives in a nearby river close to my home, and he always seems to have the latest news and gossip to share. There was also Zecora the Zebra, she was possibly the only equine that didn't get me into hives, maybe it was because she was a Zebra or something, who knows. She also made some of the best tea I've ever had.
The three of us lived a peaceful life of solitude in the Everfree forest, we mainly kept to ourselves, but we occasionally meet up to play poker and hang out every Friday night.
Tonight, much like every other night, I had my pockets emptied of all my gold by Zecora; it wouldn't have stung as much if she hadn't rhymed out her gloating. Steven even broke into tears as his remaining horde of gold was skillfully taken from him by the master poker player amongst us.
“Damn, she’s good. Now I need to pillage another ancient temple again,” I groaned as I journeyed through the dark woods and back to my home.
It was close to midnight and right about now was when most of the more unsavoury critters started to roam the forest floor. I kept on scanning the shadows for movement or danger as I hurried along the barely lit trail. Nothing made a sound in the tar black shadows, there wasn't even a cricket to be heard.
A cold wind blew though the overhead forest canopy, rustling the autumn leaves and sending a few of the blood red leaves tumbling to the ground. I shivered as I drew my arms around myself in a hug, my suit crinkling as I tried to ward off the chill in my spine. Winter was fast approaching, but it wasn't the cold that caused me to shiver, no, it was the tingling sense you get when you think someone, or something is watching you.
Unfortunately, I left my sword back at the house, so I felt extremely vulnerable as I quickened my pace.
A twig snapped above in the trees and I immediately froze. Although I was completely spooked now I knew better than to immediately run since that might just trigger whatever was above and behind me to pounce. I stood ram rod straight with sweat running down my forehead; maybe if I acted like a statue whatever this thing was will go away, that’s the right thing to do, right?
Suddenly, a wet, crunching noise broke the silence; it reminded me of the sound someone made when they stabbed a piece of flesh with a knife. The crunch was then followed by a messy slurping sound. For some reason the noises made my blood run cold with terror and I could barely control my shivering at this point. My legs began to knock together, as if they were trying to send a morse code for me to run like my life depended on it; which it probably did at the moment.
After whatever the hell this thing was had finished with it’s meal made a faint satisfied burp before it tossed the corpse of it’s prey through the trees. Something red fell in front of me with a thud, the round object rolled around for a second, rustling the leaves until it came to a stop at my foot.
Twitching my eyes down I stared in horror at what lay by my feet; a small, shrunken head stare up at me with dead hollow eyes.
Okay, that’s it, I'm outta here! I made the manliest little girl scream I have ever done in my entire life as I ran like a lil' bitch through the woods.
The darkness concealed many tree branches and shrubs, but I didn't give a damn as the hidden obstacles smashed into my face and body. I ran though the under-brush like a runaway freight train, crashing though berry bushes and into trees, as well as tripping over the occasional protruding root.
I didn't stop once to check if the monster was still behind me because I know from my horror movie watching experience that as soon as you turn around the beast will be right there to snuff out your life!
I knew that the monster was still hot on my trail because I could hear the same wind like whoosh of it’s wings in the trees as it hunted me down. My heart rate skyrocketed when I realized that the sound of the demon was actually getting closer. Fuck no! I wasn't going to die tonight; I still have so much to live for! Like going on more amazing adventures n’ stuff! I put the pedal to the metal and ran with everything I had… But the monster was still gaining on me!
A crashing of leaves and branches ahead of me announced that the demon had actually past me and was going to cut me off! Then, out from the overhead branches dropped a hissing yellow thing with bright red eyes. The beast’s leathery wings shot out to either side of itself as it simultaneously extended two pairs of legs that were poised to capture me!
I screamed once more like a ten year old pubescent little girl, even more freaked out at the sight of the flying fanged yellow beast. Without even thinking, or stopping my sprint for that matter, I pulled back my right arm and slammed it forwards into the flying monstrosity’s face, the momentum sending it cartwheeling into a nearby bush.
The soles of my shoes screeched as I came to an immediate emergency stop. “… Wait a minute…” I slowly said to myself after I had stopped panting like a dog in summer. I turned around and looked at the bush that the monster had crashed into; it stirred and its leaves softly shook, yet it didn't appear to contain a hellish beast. In fact, I could almost hear faint sobbing coming from the shrub. “… I think I recognize that thing.”
Picking up a dead tree branch from the forest floor and aiming it like a spear I timidly advanced upon the assailant, the sobbing now completely confirmed to be coming from the monster. As I inched closer I began to get a better look at what it was that I had socked in the snoz. The yellow fur and long pink mane belonged to none other than “Fluttershy?!”
Yep, I had just ran away from and punched out one of the legendary Elements of Harmony; though if what I heard from Steve was true then the Elements were no more, yet it still meant that I had just assaulted a national hero, there was even the beginnings of a nasty shiner taking root under the pegasi’s right eye from what I could tell, which was pretty hard since she was silently bawling her eyes out and covering her face with her hooves… Fuck…
“Umm,” I nervously said tossing the stick aside, “Are you alright? I'm sorry, I didn't realize it was you, I thought you were a monster,” I sheepishly chuckled.
Fluttershy stopped crying altogether, she hiccuped a few more times and then lowered her hooves to look up at me with her turquo-… Wait a minute… She didn't have red eyes the last time I remember seeing her.
As she stared up at me with soggy tearful eyes I looked back down at her with ones filled with confusion. Yeah, I was sure of it now, she had blue eyes and not these red demon eyes.
With both her hooves Fluttershy reached up and wiped away her remaining tears and gave me one of her famous kind smiles, except there was something absolutely wrong with those too; she had two long and sharp fangs protruding from the top of her mouth. “O-oh, umm, I'm sorry for sp- spooking you like that too! I honestly didn't mean to!”
She began to get up, but had a bit of trouble doing so. Not really the one to not offer some help when needed I cautiously reached out with a hand and helped her dislodge herself from the bush I had knocked her into.
And that’s when I saw them, her wings had also apparently been morphed into something completely different, much like her eyes and teeth; she had bat wings. Not the feathery ones that birds and the other pegasi have, but large, leathery, bat wings.
Okay, this is weird, and completely freaking me out once more! I didn't book it like I did a minute or so ago, but I was getting to that point. Hey, what can I say? I'm a pretty hardcore coward.
I swallowed a dry lump in my throat as I watched Fluttershy fold up her new wings by her side. “So… You seem different, is it a costume or something?”
Fluttershy blinked several times before she finally realized what I was talking about, “Oh! Oh, no, these…” She gestured to her wings and teeth, “These are actually quite real.” She then tossed me a warm, reassuring smile, but the added fangs made it look more predatory than friendly.
I shivered once more, but Fluttershy seemed oblivious to my current state of terror as she trotted over to me. “So, um, why are you now part bat?” I tentatively asked, backing up a bit and creating some distance between us.
At this Fluttershy’s mood dropped down a few notches and she slumped her head in what I assumed was embarrassment or shame, “A few weeks ago my friend Applejack had a problem with some Vampire Fruit bats, Twilight used her magic to try and make the bats not want to eat the Apple family’s apples, but something went wrong and now I'm part Vampire Fruit Bat…”
“So you’re a vampire!?” I yelled as I took quite a few more steps back and getting ready to resume my dash for my home, hopefully I have some garlic and a wooden stake lying around.
Fluttershy’s eyes widened at the accusation, “No!” The pony shouted unusually loud, but returned to her normal meek voice a second later, ”... Um, not really. I only go after fruit, especially apples.”
Oh… So that’s what she tossed before, it was an apple, not some shrunken head! Well that’s a relief!
“So, can’t Twilight help you get back to normal?” I asked, much more relieved that I wasn't on the menu.
“Oh, she did…Twilight tried her very best to help… But she couldn't really fix me completely. Every now and again I turn into a Vampire Fruit Pony and I have to hide in the Everfree Forest until I turn back to normal, because I'm afraid I might frighten away all my friends or that they’d start calling me a monster if they saw me like this,” the pink maned pony sniffed.
From what I could tell, just talking about all this nearly bright her to tears, which made me feel bad too. I didn't really get to know her or her friends all too well since I’d start to sneeze my brains out if I got near them, but Fluttershy was just one of those adorably innocent kids that you couldn't help but like, so seeing her bent out of shape like this broke my heart.
“H-hey, it’s alright.” I said as softly as I possibly could, I bent down on my knees and looked her in the eyes with a kind smile, “If it’s any consolation I don’t think you’re a monster. If there’s anything you need just ask, okay?”
Fluttery sniffed and then wiped away the remainder of her tears with a fetlock, “A-anything?” She asked.
“Sure, anything!” I nodded, “You could even crash at my place if you need a place to hide this little secret of yours.”
The pony/vampire fruit bat in front of me went silent for a moment as she thought about the offer, she placed a hoof to her chin and tapped it a few times as she looked up to the stars. Eventually a large grin formed on her face as she came to a conclusion, she nodded to herself before turning back to face me with half lidded eyes.
“Alright, then mate with me!”
Silence fell once more over the dark autumn forest as both of us remained as still as statues; Fluttershy continued giving me her bedroom eyes and lustful grin combo while I on the other hand let my jaw drop to the ground in shock.
Slowly, I reached up and began digging out any wax that was in my ears. I must been hearing things. When I was done I reattached my lower jaw and looked back at the yellow mare with wide eyes, “Come again?”
“Only if you make me~” Fluttershy purred.
And just like that, my mental image of a sweet young girl was shattered into a million pieces, much like my mind. My face flushed red as I began sputtering about in an incoherent language that consisted of inhuman gargles and squawks.
It took several minutes before I returned from my little mental breakdown; I rounded on Fluttershy with a horrified and confused frown. Flutterbat meanwhile had sat there in the leaves patiently waiting for me to finish. She still had that sultry look in her crimson eyes.
“What!?” I bellowed at the top of my lungs.
Fluttershy continued to grin at me as she began stroking her pink mane, “Well, I suppose that’s rather sudden of me, but what I asked still stands. You see, this is the time of year that the vampire fruit bats and many other animals have their mating season. And well… I seem to be no exception to that.”
My mind finally started placing the jigsaw pieces together and a chill went down my spine as I shuddered at the thought, “So… that’s why you asked if we could do… ‘That’.” I shuddered once more at the mental image, “Because you didn’t want your secret to get out you came to me for this, didn't you?”
“My, how very astute of you!” Fluttershy mock gasped with a hoof covering her mouth. She lowered it and once again resumed her predatory smile, “Yes, that’s correct. So, what do you say big guy? Wanna take me for a spin?”
“I whole-heartedly refuse!” I immediately shouted as I snapped my arms up to form an ‘x’.
The toothy smile vanished on Fluttershy as I quickly shot her down, she then frowned up at me instead, irritated that I’d refuse her advances, “Why not?” She pouted.
I stood up and crossed my arms once more as I stared back down at her, “Well for starters, and no offense by the way, but you’re a horse! So, you’re really not my type. Secondly, I barely even know you! You should at least buy someone dinner first before you try and bed them, alright?”
“Well, if you want, I could try and make us something-“ I cut her off as I face palmed myself.
“It was an expression,” I groaned, “What I meant was, that you don’t just ask to do that kind of stuff out of the blue. Also, another reason why is that in the few minutes we've been talking I've already broken out into hives.” I suddenly shot my arm out and began furiously scratching my other arm; I couldn't see much in the poor lighting from the moon and stars, but I was sure that my skin had already turned a bright pink.
Fluttershy was actually surprised by this and I think part of her old personality broke through as she watched me tear my own skin off as if a swarm of fire ants had been crawling around my arms. “Oh dear...” But then in a flash her new alter ego returned with its lusty glint in her eyes, “If you want, I could help you put some ointment on those naughty little itches, no matter where they might be,” Her eyes drifted down to my pants and I think I saw her lick her lips, “You could even help me with my own unbearable itch.”
Okay, that’s enough. I've had it with these shenanigans, I'm going home now. I looked at Fluttershy with a deadpanned expression, “Yeah, no thanks. I’ll be going now.” I turned and began walking in the opposite direction.
I heard a rustle of leaves and Fluttershy swooped in front of me, she kept herself airborne with the help of her new pair of leathery bat wings. She placed her hooves together in front of her as she gave me her puppy dog eyes, “Pllleeeassse, I need this!”
“Nope, not gonna happen,” I ruthlessly said as I walked past her without even looking back.
Then, Fluttershy decided to bring out the big guns and play dirty. She flew back around to face me once more; I stared emotionlessly back as she put on a mischievous grin. “You wouldn't leave, poor, little old me in this dark and dangerous woods, now would you? I’d probably be goggled up by some Timberwolves, or even eaten whole by a Cragadile.”
I stopped dead in my tracks as I realized exactly what kind of game she was playing at, and I was helpless to stop her. “It’s so late and dark; I don’t think I could get home safely. I’d be so helplessly lost... Unless…” Here it comes, “Unless a handsome somepony was to let me stay the night at their home. If only there was somepony that could-“
“Alright, alright!” I finally relented, “You can stay the night and ONLY for the night, as soon as daybreak happens you’re outta my sight, comprende?”
Fluttershy let out one of her famous, yay’s and suddenly she tackled me in the chest, her hooves wrapping around my chest like an octopus’s tentacles, this caused another shudder to race along my spine as well as my nose to itch. Where her fur had touched the bare skin of my hands a rash started to form. “Thank you so much! We’re going to have so much fun!”
I cringed at the way she had said that last word; I could already foresee the horrors of a sleepless night ahead of me.
* ~ * ~ *
“So, this is where you live?” Fluttershy said curiously as she looked over my hand made hovel.
It was your standard log cabin styled house, with three smaller rooms branching off the main central living space. I couldn’t help feel proud at what I had built with my single hatchet and bare hands; I always was good at wood work, but damn if this wasn’t the greatest thing I could ever hope to make. I had even put together a homemade lighting system with some magical glowing cave moss and a few old gas lanterns; the light shone out through the curtains and illuminated a short distance around the home.
“Yep,” I replied with the monosyllable word to the succubus that was standing next to me. I didn’t even look to face her as I strode for the front door.
“So,” Flutterbat said, once again utilizing the velvety voice that she had been using to try and seduce me with for the past half hour or so. “Does it have a sex dungeon?”
“Nope,” I answered back over my shoulder in the same uninterested tone as before.
“Well, I could make one for you, if you’d like. We could have so much fun in there~”
I undid the lock and pushed the door wide open, revealing the warm interior, “I really don’t have the zoning permits for something like that.”
I walked inside my home and immediately reached out to the wooden door, but before I could slam it shut behind me Fluttershy was already through the door frame; apparently she had been inches away from my butt the whole time, ogling my buns. Though, she didn’t stop staring, and I think turning around only made the awkwardness much worse.
“Could you cut that out?” I demanded, “Seriously, I already told you I’m not interested.”
Fluttershy took a step closer to my nether regions and I took a similar step back to avoid her nose getting any closer. She harrumphed when she knew that I wouldn’t give in that easily. She turned her head up to look me in the eye with her ruby red pair. She had a slight frown on her otherwise cute features; cute as in bunny rabbits and baby ducklings, just to make myself clear.
I also noticed that Fluttershy's right eye where I had decked her was starting to swell up to about the size of a grapefruit; I hadn't noticed it earlier because of the poor lighting but now that I could see my handywork my heart tightened in guilt. I didn't show my remorse quite so openly, since I knew Flutterbat would instantly use it to guilt trip me into doing the sideways shimmy with her.
With a tired sigh I closed the door behind my guest and went over to the freezer box to get her an ice pack.
“Please, I really, really need this!” She begged, “My hormones are driving me crazy!”
Kneeling down I handed Flutterbat an ice pack wrapped in some cloth, “So? You’re in heat or whatever, I get that, but I don’t see how this became my problem. I’ve already told you you’re not my type, heck, not even my species, so why continue doing this?” I asked in a level voice.
Fluttershy shook her head from side to side, sending her pink mane cascading around her, “I-I don’t want anypony to find out about my… Problem… So I came to you to help me relieve this burning sensation. I also thought that, maybe, since you’re all alone out here that you might be missing some ‘Company’,” Fluttershy explained, notably without trying to use her ‘charms’ on me, which was an improvement I suppose. Though, the purple bruise on her eye covered with a cold damp towel did nothing to help her appearance either, thankfully.
“Well… I *Ahem*, I can manage on my own thanks,” I actually went a bit red at this.
“And if it’s about your secret, then why don’t you only tell a stallion you can trust? Surely there’s someone else in Ponyville that can ‘help’ you with this.”
Fluttershy looked away at this, “Well, I had thought about asking Big Mac, I mean he is well endowed and he can certainly keep a secret, but that’ll still risk being seen by somepony and I really don’t want that…”
I let out a heavy sigh, one of many that I’d already had tonight; first Zecora taking all my money at cards, then Fluttershy wanting to jump my bones. What’s with me and Lady Luck anyways, did I piss her off or something?
“Look, were just going in circles with this, so let’s just go with what we agreed on, alright? You can stay the night, then when morning hits you can head back home, are we cool with that?”
I now had Flutterbat’s attention back on me, and she seemed to genuinely smile at what I had said. “Sure, and I’ll still try and make you want to fuck my brains out!”
“Please don’t,” I whimpered.
Then, a tingling sensation started to emerge behind my nose; the tickle quickly grew into a powerful itch that could only mean one thing. I could do nothing to prevent the oncoming storm as my body doubled over as I let loose a thundering sneeze. As I recovered and whipped the snot that was hanging from my nose I heard a disgusted moan from someone else. I opened my eyes, and to my horror a snot covered vampire Fluttershy sat in quiet shock before me.
“Ew!” She whined as she began her attempt at wiping the slime off herself with a hoof.
“Umm, I did warn you that I was allergic to horse hair, right?” I laughed nervously; I seriously just covered a guest with my boogers just now didn't I? Damn, I did. “Sorry, you can use my shower to clean that of-ff-ff” I felt another sneeze coming on and luckily this time I managed to let loose the winds of terror into my sleeve.
“Add this to the list of reasons why I won’t shag a pony, ever,” I said, but my voice sounded congested as my sinuses began to inflate like a car’s emergency air bag.
Never to let a chance at throwing in some sexual references Fluttershy agreed to the offer, “My, thank you very much, I needed to freshen up anyways. Oh, and feel free to join me and get intimate if you’d like~”
I shuddered at the thought, but then again I doubted that a pony and human would even fit inside the small shower stall I had rigged up in an adjacent room. The shower was made with some simple piping and a sun heated water tank on the roof. I put the disturbing mental image of Fluttershy groping me in the shower behind me as I showed the mare which room the bathroom was in as well as how to operate the utility. My unexpected guest thanked me once more and disappeared behind a closing door with a wink.
A mischievous leer flashed across my face as I chuckled at what was going to happen in a second. I hope she doesn’t expect the water to be warm, I thought to myself with an evil grin. It was past midnight, so the sun that heated the water tank was long gone, which meant that only freezing cold water was ready in the pipes. Fluttershy had been too busy thinking R-rated thoughts that she hadn’t bothered to ask if whether there was hot water at all, and when she didn’t raise the subject I conveniently forgot to mention this to her in return.
Though if she had asked, I probably would have heated up a kettle or two, but since she never asked I never offered. Maybe a splash of ice water will bring her back to her senses.
I patiently waited outside the door to the bathroom, listening for the sound of water to pour out of the shower nozzle. When I heard the pitter patter of the rushing water I held my breath; three, two, one…
A high pitched scream blasted through the door as Fluttershy undoubtedly found out the greatest flaw in my homemade pluming system first hoof. I let out a satisfied sigh, my semi-revenge for hitting on me hard enough to leave several bruises on my sanity was a success.
I stepped aside just in time for a drenched pink and yellow mess to burst through the door. I snorted and laughed when I saw Fluttershy, she looked like a wet dog the way her hairs clung to her body and how her mane and tail dragged along the floor in a puddle. Though I did feel a tiny bit of guilt at my small prank when I saw Fluttershy shivering and looking quite helpless.
Hearing my giggle, Fluttershy’s head snapped around to face me where I was leaning against a wall behind her, her lip was quivering and her eyes were wide with shock. “W-w-water,” Fluttershy said as she began to shiver, “C-cold water.”
I laughed once more as I reached around the door and tossed Fluttershy a towel, “What, I thought you said that you were in heat? Well, didn't that shower cool you down?”
Fluttershy picked up the towel and wrapped it around herself; she was still shivering when she returned my joking with a glare, “T-that’s not funny!”
“Oh, you gotta admit that it kinda is though!” As my light-hearted laughter began to die down I made my way over to the fire place, I took some tinder from the pile of logs as I started making a fire to dry my pony quest off. If the soft chuckling from behind me was any indicator though I was most likely forgiven already.
It didn't take me very long to get the fire started and stable enough to leave it be, so I immediately set my focus on my next objective: dealing with my allergies. My nose was if anything getting worse as time went by and at this point I had to keep a handkerchief glued to my face to hold back any rouge sneezes. Leaving Fluttershy huddled by the fire as she stared absentmindedly into the fire pit I made my way back to the washroom and the cupboard where I kept all the medicine that I had; I was sure that I had a jar of Zecora's medicine lying about, and although it wouldn't cure me, it would certainly make things much more bearable. I'd especially need it now more than ever if I had to look after Fluttershy like this.
"Ah, there it is!" I reached up into the shelf and picked up a small jar with a cloth lid on top. I quickly popped the lid and took a sip from the fowl smelling concoction. Oddly enough, although the mixture of herbs and other mysterious ingredients smelled like rotten eggs there wasn't any taste as the green sludge passed over my tongue. Zecrora had told me that the medicine wouldn't work immediately, but I could already tell that me nose was starting to dry up.
I made it a mental note to thank the zebra once more for the stuff once I saw her again; hopefully for a rematch on the card table.
With my allergies taken care of I returned back to the fireplace and sat down next to Fluttershy. The yellow and pink ex-Pegasus noticed my return and tossed a smile my way before she resumed watching the flames as they danced across the logs. "Thanks..."
I looked over at her and raised an eyebrow, "What for?"
Fluttershy shuffled awkwardly under the blanket and avoided looking back at me, "W-well... It's just that I know that I've been a bit of a bother to you, yet your still willing to help me after everything..."
I huffed out a large sigh at this; so that's what's been bothering her? Well, at least she understand that much. I grinned back at her, "Don't mention it!" But then my smile froze and dropped down a few notches, "But seriously, don't ever mention this. I don't think I can handle the ribbing and teasing Zecora or Steven would give me if they found out about... 'this'"
Fluttershy giggled at this and shook her head, "You don't have to worry, I won't tell anypony. Remember, this is also my secret as well."
A moment of silence fell between us as we continued to watch the fire dance across the logs, the quiet was only broken by the sizzling crackle of burning embers and the occasional noise from when I had to adjust the logs or add more into the stone pit. I looked over at the pony sitting next to me all wrapped up in the towel that I lent her; she had stopped shivering by now and she seemed to have dried off in the heat of the flames. She still looked like an adorable stuffed animal that you'd find in a ten year old girls bedroom, even if she had vampire fangs, red eyes, and had tried to bang me several times... Maybe instead of a kids room she belonged in some moody sexually confused teenage girl's bedroom...
A thought that I'd had for some time crossed my mind once again, "Hey, Fluttershy?"
Fluttershy's crimson eyes turned back to me once more, "Yes?"
"Well, it's just that from what I hear from Steven and Zecroa that you aren't normally like this," I gestured to her in a vague wave of the hands, "You know, bold. From what I remember and from the stories I heard you're probably the most well mannered and meek creature there is out there, yet tonight you seem like the complete opposite." I was curious if this was her real personality that she managed to hide under a fake personality or if it had to do with her curse.
Fluttershy tilted her head to the side and hummed in thought, "I suppose it might have to do with the transformation, that and all the hormones coursing through my veins... Speaking of which-"
"I think that's enough chatting for now!" I abruptly shouted as I shot up from the floor and created some distance between me and the horny horse. Fluttershy's smile faded as she pouted at another one of her failures.
I stretched my back out, releasing some kinks that had formed in them and started smothering the fire. "There's only one bed, so you can take it for the night."
"But then where would you sleep," Fluttershy asked as she unwrapped the towel from her, her expression was actually mildly concerned at hearing this.
"Don't worry about it, I'll just sleep on the floor. Plus I have enough blankets to make a makeshift mattress anyways."
"Oh don't be silly, we only need one mattress large enough for the both of us, after all we need only need enough space to-"
'Yeah, I'll take the floor," I deadpanned.
Fluttershy's eyebrow twitched in irritation at the hundredth rejection I'd given her this night, "Y-you know it's not nice to turn down a ladies offer so many times."
"It's also rude to freeload in someone's home and repeatedly try and fuck them after they said they didn't want to," I retorted.
Fluttershy huffed at this and without another word stormed off to the other side of the wood cabin, she opened the door and slammed it behind her with one of her bat like wings. The noise and vibration was enough to shake several of the lamps hanging from the ceiling and I could hear several plates clatter inside the kitchen cupboard.
"That's the store room," I shouted after Fluttershy. A moment later the door silently opened to reveal an embarrassed yellow Pegasus vampire with a beetred face. Without even making eye contact Fluttershy stormed across the floor to the only other room besides the washroom. After the door slammed behind her I let out a soft chuckle at the mare's antics.
"I might as well start making my bed, it is getting pretty late after all," I said myself as I made my way to the store room to pick out what I needed for the night.
