What starts out as playful teasing soon becomes far more then Discord intended when he starts falling for his new aide, Inkspell, a crystal stallion. But can a pony fall in love with a Draconequus?

Inkspell Is Discord's new aide, sent by Princess Celestia to make sure the Draconequus does the new job he's been assigned to, without causing crazyness.

Seems simple enough, he's read about Discord! Whats the worst Inkspell could endure?


Taking care of paperwork? Easy.

Dealing with the fact you're falling for your boss? Difficult.

Resisting seduction by said boss? Impossible.


How will Discord persuade a shy, somewhat introverted Unicorn to embrace who he truly is inside?

Easy, by teaching him~


CAUTION: Contains a silly amount of innuendo and/or euphemisms.

What's he hiding?

Discord had been trying, he truly had. He'd managed to not prank Celestia or Luna, and had refrained from crashing parties just to startle the occupants.

But he was bored, he wanted something to DO. He'd reformed himself had he not? Surely he deserved something?

So Celestia gave him an opportunity to see what real governing work was like. She put him in charge of a lesser known department, making sure deliveries got to the right shop. She forsaw he'd give up in a week. He was likely doing this from boredom.

Surprisingly he didn't, once Celestia had thrown down the gauntlet that he'd give up in no time, he was determined to prove her wrong. It was kind of dull however…

On catching him messing about with the paperwork, aka vanishing it into the ether for storage, she sent him an assistant. Without telling him first.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discord grumbled as he floated along the hall to his "Office". He shut the door behind him and did a double take when he seen somepony was there.

His office was as bizarre as his home was, with chairs floating feet above the ground, along with a floating rubber chicken, (a gift from Pinkie Pie's colt-friend Cheese Sandwich), and other nonsense.

Sat atop one of the chairs was a crystal unicorn pony. He had a pale purple-grey coat, with a straight navy blue mane with a fringe that stopped just above very unusual eyes. One was green, the other blue.

"Good morning!" The pony declared cheerfully.

"Who on Equestria are you?" the Draconequus asked. The pony hopped down, and gave a distinguished bow "my name is Inkspell, I was hired by Princess Celestia to ah, help you out."

"By that I assume you mean the paperwork?" Discord harrumphed. Inkspell nodded politely.

"Well its not MY fault all that nonsense is so dull! The rest of this menial task is somewhat entertaining i will admit. Its funny to see pony's faces when they see I’m not a pony..." he trailed off, then got right into Inkspell's face, eyes narrowed; "hmm, how come you don't seem startled, boy?"

"I studied about you before arriving here!" Inkspell didn't seem fazed, his nose scrunching in an amused fashion "i thought it prudent if I was to be working with you!"

"Smartass..." Discord grumbled, but admiring the pony for being unfazed by him. "What's going on with your eyes?"

"I have a condition called heterochromia, it makes my eyes different colours! My vision is still fine, I assure you!" Inkspell smiled.

Discord sighed, then snapped his fingers, making two ice cream sundaes appear. He draped himself over the couch, snapping his fingers again and a whole stack of paperwork appeared next to Inkspell.

"Knock yourself out kid!" he snorted.

Inkspell raised an eyebrow, but silently thought: Challenge accepted. First however...

Discord did a double take as he seen the unicorn bat the spoon with one hoof, sending a lump of ice creams soaring into the air. he flopped back against the couch, titled his head back, and caught it in his mouth. Gulping it down he beamed at the surprised Draconequus, then pulled the first document towards him. From his saddlebags, he pulled a list of things that needed checking according to Celestia!

Between bites of ice-cream, he matched the documents Discord had given him to the list...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An hour later, during which Discord fell asleep, the pony announced he was done!

"Huh, what?" Discord woke up, staring blearily at him.

"Done!", the shimmery crystal pony smiled brightly, gesturing to the paperwork which he'd been stacking on the desk some feet below them. He'd also polished off the entire sundae during this time, as the glass was empty.

"Impressive, you can work AND eat ice cream!" Discord studied him a moment longer, then decided "alright, tell Celestia I'll put up with you!"

Inkspell chuckled to himself, but said nothing further, merely asked if there was more work to do?

"You’ve done it all for now!" Discord snorted in amusement "your like Twilight, a regular smarty pants!"

"Thank you!"

"I’m also convinced you're oblivious." Discord added, deadpan. Inkspell just smiled.

"Comes with the job, I have to be dedicated to my job regardless of what is said to me!"

"Hold it right there!" Discord got in his face again in a split second, making Inkspell blink "You’re a doormat! I had you pegged for better than that!"

"I apologise if-"

"No! Shut up!" Discord scowled crossly, floating away from him, arms folded, scowling in annoyance "here I thought you were fun, but you're just another spineless yes-pony!" He stuck his snout in the air with a harrumph sound.

“Hay!" Inkspell snapped "where do YOU get off assuming THAT-" he cut off, stuffing his front hooves over his mouth, eyes wide as dinner plates, then went bright red "oh Celestia's mercy, I-am-so-fired..."

But Discord just began laughing loudly. Which confused poor Inkspell even further!

"Fired? After that outburst? If you'd decided to go any more doormat, I'd have stencilled "wipe your hooves" on your forehead and booted you out the door!"

Inkspell was very red faced by now. This was so embarrassing.

"Now we know your not just another doormat, that's that sorted! Why do you look so terrified..?"

"T-that's how I lost my last job.." Inkspell admitted, looking upset "I told my boss I thought what he was doing was immoral, but he just laughed at me, and said I was fired. He tried to send two of his "friends" after me, to teach me a lesson. Said “wasn’t i already enough of a freak”? So I went to the palace, and told the whole story to that new prince, Sombra.."

“Sombra?" Discord had to think a moment "as yes, him! I’d forgotten about his little redemption exercise! Him and that sky tear incident!"

"Y-yes, he's very nice, but also strict. He showed up at my boss' office and scared the living daylights out of him, with the evidence I'd brought him!"

"Goodness me, if he's good at one thing from what I recall, It's putting that intimidating size of his to good use!"

"He IS very tall, I wouldn't like to face him in a fight!"

"Sane choice right there," Discord chuckled, then something stuck in his head "wait, what did your boss mean "already enough of a freak"?"

Inkspell went red again and ducked his head "It's nothing.." he whispered.

Discord, intrigued now, drifted over to him, floating upside down to try see under the stallions fringe. "Cant be nothing if you have a face as long as a wet weekend?"

"I-it's truly nothing to worry about, its no longer a problem."

"So tell me?"

A shake of the head.

"How bad could it be? Hmm-"

"Let it go....please.."

"Are you SURE your such an oddball. You seem perfectly sane to me! Did he mean your eyes? Quite frankly I think they're rather stunning! DON'T tell me its because you actually USE that brain of yours, was your boss a vegetable by any chance-?"

"I'm GAY alright! There, you happy?!" Discord was surprised to see tears sparking in the corners of the heterochromatic eyes of this upset pony.

"Why is THAT considered freakish?" Discord drifted back, contemplating it "last I checked there’s nothing against it! Sure, you still get some ponies that have their heads stuffed up somewhere unpleasant, but it's nothing to be ashamed of any more!"

"Nopony is supposed to find out..." Inkspell mumbled, eyes still downcast "even my family don’t accept it..."

"Get a new family!" Discord dead-panned. Inkspell gave a sad chuckle but didn’t smile for long...

"Did your family really act so boorish?" Discord asked. Something rankled him about this. So the poor pony was batting for the opposite team, so what? He was a nice enough guy, not-a-doormat, he already made Discord laugh by reacting to his jokey insults!

"My dad is..well, old fashioned. He STILL thinks I’m an embarrassment, no matter how well i do...."

Discord frowned, wondering just how dumb this guys parents had to be to treat somepony that way. After-all, HE knew a lot about acceptance.

Fluttershy had been the first to believe he could cause something besides trouble, he'd regularly joined her for tea ever since. Her sweet nature made him feel relaxed. Even though she had other friends, and he'd once argued with her over it, she never forgot about him. And he SUPPOSED that ditz Tree Hugger was bearable enough....

Shaking his head to clear it, he realised the space in front of him was empty. Seeing the guilt ridden stallion trying to stealthily open the door, he teleproted him back onto the couch, arms folded as he regarded the shame-faced Inkspell.

"What's with the exit? I'm not going to make fun of you for it!" Discord pretended to be disgruntled, hoping for another funny rise out of the stallion, but Inkspell didn’t even smile.

"Oh come on, don’t look so down in the dumps!" he chided, briefly making loads of random nonsense fill the room around them, then vanishing it away with a single snap of his fingers.

"I'm sorry sir, but I find it hard to laugh at something that's made my life a nightmare since it came out...since I came out..."

"First off, its Discord, don't bother with your fancy titles," the Draconequus flapped a hand at him with a snort "that's for Celestia and her little group, not ME! If you want a title so badly, call me the Lord of Chaos!"

"Your Lordship-"

"On second thoughts, Discord is FINE."

Inkspell had run out of steam, all he could do was sit there and blink.

"Hay, i've been around, tried both sides of the sexual coin in the time before I was turned to stone.."

“How do you mean?"

With a poof of magic, Discord turned into a pegasus pony. Light brown coat, jet black hair with a few streams of white near the front, and wings. A thought popped into Inkspell's head that he was kinda cute, but he booted it out a second later.

"Don't look so shocked," Discord laughed, poking the stunned Inkspell on the nose "I’m a spirit of chaos, I liked fooling around at one point! You ponies are quite interesting~"

Inkspell did feel a LITTLE better, but still felt foolish for embarrassing himself...

"Tell you what's fun about the pegasi?" Discord winked, then startled Inkspell by suddenly pomfing his wings out "wing boners! See?"

Inkspell went EVEN redder.

"Wing buh-?" he coughed.

Discord stared at him with a deadpan look "Yes, Wing BONERS. Good grief i could cook an egg on your face, you're so red!"

He placed his hoofs either side of Inkspell's face and brought them close together, so his nose brushed the other pony's.

"Hmm, nope, your temperatures the same. Drat, I'm hungry..."

The close contact set Inkspell's heart pounding at a gazillion miles an hour. He'd kept away from seeking out a potential colt-friend since his last had left him because of..well, he didn’t like to think about it...

"Since you’ve done all that work I tried to bury you under, why don't you skedaddle~" Discord flopped back against the floating couch with a yawn "I’ll see you tomorrow. According to the list dear Celestia left, we have orders out the wazoo showing up, so YOU'RE going to get a lot of paperwork dumped on you!"

Inkspell nodded, head abuzz and heart thudding in his chest as he left.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Goodness, he WAS funny, wasn't he Bonelessness?" Discord asked the rubber chicken as it drifted by. It stared blankly at him, and he sighed.

"Yes I suppose I DID wind him up a little. He's got that sort of expression, just makes me want to tease him a little..."

More blank staring.

"No I DON'T fancy him."

Staaree....

"OK, fine, he’s adorkable, you happy?"

HONK.

"Well you WOULD say that!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Single sided conversations with a rubber chicken aside, Discord thought about it. He liked Inkspell's attitude, seemingly doormat grade at first, his profuse obejction to Discord insulting him had made the Draconequus laugh. All the ponies he usually seen working around the palace acted like mindless drones, agreeing with whatever those commanding them said. And the guards were dull as heck, never smiling. Inkspell's open hearted reactions were a refreshing change.

But goodness, he'd been unexpectedly concerned by the stallions reactions to having to admit he was gay. The poor pony had looked on the verge of crying. Even Discord's usual habit of winding ponies up to get a rise had faltered somewhat, seeing the genuine sadness written in that pony's eyes.

--It's been awhile since i had fun as a pony, isn't it?-- he pondered. Being the only Draconequus made things a bit lonely sometimes, and being a solitary lord of chaos magic made him feel alone a lot of the time...

Hearing how Inkspell had been victimized by his own family just ticked him off. It rubbed him up the wrong way. He had a strange urge to make Inkspell stop hiding who he was. There was no reason for the adorkable little pony to be so down in the dumps...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day passed with no further mention of Inkspell's outburst. Sure enough, there was paperwork out the aforementioned wazoo. But at least there were desserts. Inkspell was convinced he'd put on a pound or two by the time he left….

Discord continued to tease him now and then, trying to startle him or distract him. But he didn't seem to mind Inkspell being there, even if the Draconequus did keep dozing off from what he claimed was boredom!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The NEXT day Discord was reading a Paoi (Pony-yaoi) novel, and commented he'd met the author, very pleasent lady!

Inkspell had a hard time concentrating that day, he KNEW that book, and his mind kept wandering…

Discord noticed this, and chuckled to himself. Inkspell was a bit like Fluttershy, very easily flustered!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inkspell arrived early the next morning. Wandering into the crazy office, he sat up on the couch and took out a pad and a pencil. Fumbling with his magic, the pencil escaped, and rolled off the couch. Peering over the edge, he couldn't see it. He stood atop the couch, looking all over- there!

Just behind the couch, held in the beak of a rubber chicken sat atop the floating tea tray. How had it gotten there?

--This is chaos magic, remember?-- he reminded himself of his employers abilities.

He leaned over the back of the couch, tongue sticking out of the corner of his mouth, and focused his magic on the chicken...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discord, having decided to surprise his new assistant by coming into work as a pegasus, walked in the door and STARED.

From his vantage point, he could see a very attractive rear poked up in the air, tail swishing side to side.

POMPF. His wings fluffed up involuntarily.

--Been awhile since that happened..-- he mused, before clearing his throat.

Inkspell straightened up, seen his boss and let out a yelp of embarrassment. he lost his balance and fell off the couch. With a stamp of his hoof, Discord activated his chaos magic to have a big cushion appear under the crystal stallion.

"Oof!" Inkspell lay there a moment, dazed, then he sat himself up, blinking at Discord. Well, pony Discord; Ponycord?

"U-uhm good morning?" he hazarded weakly. Then he noticed Ponycord looked a little red himself, and his wings..were..up...

He put two and two together and relasied the other msutve seen him being particularly ungainly.

He felt a fresh surge of embarassment, but was able to squash it down, and to Discord's surprise, spoke relatively calmly.

"Thank you for that," the crystal pony said with a smile "I have the appointments list for today!" he pulled a list from his saddlebag.

Discord frowned, but said nothing. He stayed in pony form anyway, which confused some of the visitors no end, but most of them soon copped on who he was. Funny, they seemed less confused when they talked to a pony, but that was natural...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He noticed Inkspell hadn't changed expression the whole time. Just remained endlessly cheerful with all the clients, smiling and sorting out the paperwork.

Once the mornings clients had gone, Discord studied him under the pretence of reading a newspaper. Inkspell's expression still stayed the same, a false smile.

"OK, stop that!" Discord snapped.

"Stop what?" Inkspell said, frowning a little. Discord teleported to the same couch, so he was nose to nose with Inkspell. The crystal stallion tensed slightly, but Discord seen him flush red for just a second...

"That face...you’ve been grimacing all morning, pulling that fake smile. What’s the matter with you?"

Inkspell didn’t know what to say, so Discord took a guess...

"Hmm..is this because of the-" he fluffed his wings up, and seen Inkspell redden again. "aha!"

"Please stop-!" Inkspell blurted, ducking his head again.

"Stop what?" Discord frowned closely at him.

"Stop teasing me. I get it, I don’t play for the right team! Its funny, I get it!!"

Discord was silent a moment "you think this is a joke?" he said at last. Inkspell looked up, his coat seemed to have dimmed slightly. Crystal ponies were an oddity that was for sure...

Discord pointed a hoof at his wings "you think I can control these things? I'll tell you one thing, I haven't had them go POMF in pony form in a long long time. Does it mean I think you're cute? You’re giving me a wing boner you silly boy, you tell ME!"

Inkspell went red once more, biting his lip. Those intriguing eyes peering so desperately into Discord's, hoping for something kind...

Dangit, could he BE any more tempting, Discord wondered?

So he grabbed Inkspell and pulled him towards him, pressing his lips to other ponies. Inkspell uttered a soft moan, a plaintive noise that was a mix of surprise and liking. His lips were soft and warm...

Discord pressed the kiss even deeper, aware of the wings twitching atop his back. Oh, he liked this...

He ran his tongue along Inkspell's lower lip, and after a moments hesitation, felt the other give in, and the kiss got even more fierce.

"Mmmhh..." Inkspell made a dazed noise as Discord let him go. He stared at the other pony, those stunningly unique eyes wide...

"Mmm, so very cute..." Discord purred, nuzzling at Inkspell's neck, feeling the pony's pulse racing so fast...

"D-Discord.." Inkspell stammered. Discord titled his head up so he could look into the others eyes.

"You even make my name sound cute," he teased "how can you be ashamed of yourself when you're just so adorable...."

Inkspell couldn’t think of anything to say. So he gave in and at last kissed Discord back nervously. Things got heated, Discord pulling the crystal pony as close as he could, running his hooves down Inkspell's sides, feeling how the other was trembling just subtly...

--Oh, there is so much I want to do to you...-- he thought --you’re waking up desires I hadn’t thought about in decades...--

Unable to help himself, he gently pinned Inkspell on his back, the two of them entangled on the couch.

Inkspell was breathing rapidly, his face flushed. Discord let his gaze roam over Inkspell's body, from the tips of those adorable ears, the curve of his neck, his stomach, and further...

Inkspell blushed as he felt Discord's gaze on him...

The next second he was kissed once more, sending another shiver down his spine. The Pony-Dracon's tongue entwined with his own, making his heart race so fast he could swear it hurt...

He realised, with a jolt of embarrassment, that more than just his heart and mind were reacting to this. He tried to curl up in a ball, but Discord pinned him gently in place, tilting his head to look into Inkspell's eyes.

"Hay." Discord said sternly, wings twitching softly "you don't have to hide from me, or do i need to explain the wings again?"

Inkspell shook his head, but still blushing...

Discord just captured the others lips in a deep, heated kiss. Letting one hoof roam over Inkspell's body, he felt shivers assail the other pony's body as said hoof slid lower. Muffled, eager sounds between kisses indicated his little aide was enjoying it...

"Mmm....you may not have wings, but I do believe somepony's very...excited~" he whispered in Inkspell's ear.

"W-what you're doing to me sir, i-it's-" he was kissed again, cutting him off.

"Call me Discord, rememeber?" the other pony said firmly. His eyes glittered in the afternoon light as he looked down at Inkspell "after all, I want you calling my name properly~ Got it?"

A nod.

“I can't hear you, my little delectable stallion~” He nipped at Inkspell's ear as he spoke, eliciting a sharp moan from the pony.

“Y-yes Discord..” an almost dizzy Inkspell managed to say at last.

“Good boy~” Discord purred, kissing him.

He blazed a trail of kisses down Inkspell's body. The further down they drifted, the more delirious Inkspell seemed to become. When he at last relented and returned to kissed those gorgeous lips, Inkspell was in a wonderfully sensitive state...

"Mm, have you ever done this before...?" Discord murmured. Inkspell looked up at him, looking just so desirable. He nodded once…

“Relax my precious Inkspell...” Discords voice was like silk, and the captive Inkspell was happy to let it brush over his senses.

He felt a slight surge of nerves as he felt the ponified Discord's hooves slide down to his hips, resting on his Cutie mark of a scroll and Ink pot. Inkspell closed his eyes, giving in to the pounding of his heart as Discord shifted how they lay so he could-

A familiar yet at the same time almost brand new jolt ran through Inkspell's body as he felt the other push into him. He bit his lip to refrain from crying out in pleasure, but Discord kissed him a second after..

"Mm, do not fret my little stallion..." he gestured to the room "we are encased in a silence spell, and the door is locked. I wont have anypony interrupting us until we finish..."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inkspell could barely think straight this felt so good....

Any residual pain soon turned to pleasure, and he held tightly to his partner as he made love to him, afraid if he let go he'd be truly swept away by how good this felt. He concentrated on the solid warmth of his partners body, the point at which thier bodies connected...

Nopony had made him feel like this before…

Sure, he'd had other colt-friends, He'd had SEX before. But none of the times in the past had felt this amazing...

--That’s it, call out for me..-- Discord thought as his partners voice echoed in the fancy office, mingling with his own moans of pleasure as he explored the Pony’s body…

--I don’t know how you’re doing this to me, little Inkspell, but I’m not letting you get away..--

Inkspell's cries were becoming more urgent, he was very close now...

Discord held his trembling partner close as the climax hit them both...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Silence descended on the room as they both basked in the aftermath of the seduction. Then their heartbeats slowed enough for their respective ragged breathing to be audible.

Discord kissed Inkspell's forehead gently, then pulled away from the exhausted stallion...

Inkspell made a faint moaning sound as Discord lay beside him, pulling him close and kissing him softly.

"Very good.." Discord whispered in his ear, and he tried to gather the energy to reply...

But he couldn’t keep awake and passed out a moment later. Lulled asleep by the afterglow and the warmth of Discords embrace.

Discord studied him, admiring the way he looked asleep, so adorable. Inkspell's mane was plastered to his neck, his fringe ruffled and in disarray. He was flushed, but a faint smile could be seen on his lips as he slept...

--I'd say you enjoyed that my little Inkspell-- Discord thought, nuzzling his partners ear gently, memorizing the soft scent of his fur.

He caught bonelessness' eye as the chicken drifted by around the room.

"Yes, you were right, I COULDN'T let it go that easily..."

STARE.

He studied the snoozing Inkspell "yes, I suppose i am a sucker for a cute little stallion..."

HONK.

"As many times as he could handle in a night, I suppose. For now it seems one round is as much as this little cutie can take.."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a little while, the dozy Inkspell lifted his head, realising he was lying on a massive floating cushion, and he was wrapped in a blanket.

"Hmm-ah!" He sat up, and was reminded of what’d happened prior to his nap by a pleasurable jolt racing through him. He bit his lip, blushing deeply.

"Good sleep?" a familiar voice asked. Lying on the nearest couch, the ponified Discord smiled at him.

Inkspell nodded shyly, feeling his heart pounding. Had he really just-?

"Yes, you did let me ravish you senseless, you're not imagining things dear boy..." Discord chuckled, teleporting Inkspell over to him, so he could sit him on the couch beside him "and OH the sweet taste of victory~" Inkspell made a faint squeaking sound.

"Speechless hm? That’s only the beginning of what I can do with you. Why, I know things that’d blast even your best fantasies out of the water!"

The mere thought made Inkspell blush "I-i’ve never really...I mean.."

"Experimented?" Discord hazarded "just stuck to the regular horizontal tango? The old bedroom athletics?"

The euphemisms made Inkspell smile as he worked them out.

"There's that smile~" Discord said in amusement, kissing the other briefly.

Inkspell snuggled up closer to him, wincing only a little as he did.

"Hm? Still a little sore are we?" Discord murmured, letting himself fall backwards on the couch so his cute new partner was lying on top of him. Inkspell ducked his head a little, reddening again.

"I...its been a long time. I didn’t allow myself to.."

"Find somepony?" Discord hazarded, then before he could help himself "or, use your magic to do yourse-"

"Uwah!" Inkspell made such a noise of protest, Discord had to chuckle, especially since the embarrassed stallion buried his face in his hooves a second later. Discord could feel him shaking a little.

"What? It's a valid question my dear boy..."

"I-i never did such a thing....I assure you-!!" Inkspell looked up to object, but broke off to go red again.

Discord lifted the other ponies chin with one hoof, looking into those beautiful different colour eyes

"So innocent..." he observed.

Inkspell went redder, biting his lip again.

"And that’s NOT a bad thing, so don’t go looking so dejected boy!" Discord scolded the crystal pony a second later "it just means I have more to teach you, hmm?"

A red faced nod, but that sparkle in the shy ponies eyes betrayed his excitement at the idea.

"Good boy~" Discord teased, then pulled him close so he could kiss him deeply.

Then there was a knock on the door. They pulled apart, both looking startled.

"Bathrooms over there if you need to clean up," Discord nodded to the corner of the room where a gilded door was situated. Inkspell nodded, teleporting down from the couch and darting inside the bathroom.

"Coming!" Discord called out, affecting a yawn as he changed back into a Draconequus, erasing any evidence of their lovemaking as evident by his sweaty coat and ruffled mane, before sauntering over to the door.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He got a shock when he seen it was Celestia!

"Good afternoon," she said, calmly striding in and taking in the chaotic room with a raised eyebrow.

"And what brings you here my dear Celestia?" discord said charmingly. She turned to face him;

"I came to see how the assistant i sent over is doing? Where is he?"

"Bathroom break!" Discord said airily, gesturing at the door.

While they talked, Inkspell was having a panic attack. That was CELESTIA out there! He had to get his appearance under control. He hurriedly ran through a series of spells to tidy his mane and freshen himself up.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the time he opened the door he thought he'd gotten himself back to normal. He greeted the Princess with the utmost reverence, and showed her the work he and discord had gotten done. She seemed suitably impressed, and was pleased when discord said he'd retain Inkspell's services, the stallion was lightning fast with the paperwork!

Soon as she'd left, the duo shared looks, then le tout dual sighs of relief.

"I didn’t think she'd show up!" Discord assured a flustered Inkspell.

"I just hope she couldn’t see how red my face was..." Inkspell blushed again.

"You looked bright eyed and bushy tailed from my perspective," Discord nuzzled the pony's ear gently, and whispered "but then, I know what went on~"

More blushes.

"When I’m through teaching you everything I’ve ever learnt, you won't need to keep blushing I promise you. One way or another-" here he paused to kiss Inkspell hard enough to make him dizzy, then carried on "I will see you confident in yourself.."

"That an innuendo too?" Inkspell blurted, then went REALLY red. Discord thought it through, then cracked up laughing, lifting the stallion up in the air and whirling him round before setting him down.

"It certainly is my dear boy! And quite an expertly crafted one too! Very good~"

"It was an accident.." Inkspell laughed a little, but seemed less embarrassed this time.

"It wont be when I’m done teaching you!" Discord assured him.

Inkspell couldn’t help humming away to himself as he trotted home that evening. He'd had the most unusual day, in more ways than one.

--Oh good grief, that’s an innuendo too. Discord, what've you done to me..?-- he shook his head, flushing.

Then he heard an odd sound, and came to a halt in the peaceful street, ears twitching.

There it was again, a cry of pain. He started towards it, ears pricked. Edging his head around the corner he seen a male earth pony cowering on the ground, trying to shield himself from the three that were towering over him.

"Hay!" Before Inkspell could stop himself, he'd stepped forward "what’s going on here?"

"None of your business, so beat it!"

"I think there’s been enough beating for one day!" Inkspell said sharply.

"Really, because i think somepony just volunteered!" one of the big thugs stepped towards him. Inkspell readied his magic, and-

But he was tackled to the ground suddenly, and realised he'd been tricked. Another one had been hiding in the shadows!

As fights went, it wasn’t a good one. He DID manage to stun two of them, but not before they’d landed a few good hits, leaving him gasping in pain, head throbbing. But the surge of adrenaline that came with even contemplating the idea they could kill him, had him staging a surprise attack.

He flung one of them into the wall, knocking him out. Running on rage and fumes, he faced the remaining masked ponies, standing somehow, despite the beating he'd taken himself.

"We'll come back for you-" one hissed at the pony Inkspell had tried to help "and don’t think well forget this so easily you walking glitter ball!"

Then they were gone. Inkspell let out a shaken sigh. He helped the other pony stand, and even though he insisted he didn’t need to go to a hospital, Inkspell insisted on walking him home.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It wasn’t until he got back to his own rented house that he realised what’d just happened. Shock set in and the distant thought that he should go to the police or the guards did occur to him, but he was too shaken.

He cleaned himself up, mopping up the blood. He had a cut on one cheek, and some bruises on his chest that were going to show by morning. He rummaged through his closet, finding a waistcoat he'd been given in case the one he was assigned to preferred him to wear a uniform. It was a white waistcoat with gold trim. It’d cover the evidence...

When he awoke the next morning, it was to immense pain in his head. Memory came rushing back, and he wondered what he was supposed to do?

Looking at the clock her realised it could wait, he had to get to work!

Some painkillers took care of the worst of it, but he could still feel the bruises from the fight. A bandage taped to his cheek covered the cut, and the waistcoat hid the bruises.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But his carefully constructed lies fell apart once he arrived at Discord's office and the Draconequus spotted him.

"Sweet Celestia on a pogo stick, what happened to you?!" the chaos being blurted, swooping over to Inkspell and taking in the bandage on his cheek.

"I-its fine, I just fell over on my way home last night. It looks worse than it is, really..."

Discord frowned, but didn't say anything, just nuzzled the top of Inkspell's head.

But when he tried to pull the pony into his arms for a deeper kiss, he felt Inkspell tense up, and a real cry of pain escaped his lovers lips.

"What’s-?" Discord frowned, setting him down gently, then with one clawed talon he rapidly unpopped the buttons on Inkspell's waistcoat. When the fabric fell aside, showing the bruising on his partners coat, he was shocked.

"NO way simply tripping did this to you, these are hoofmarks...what happened?!" He grabbed Inkspell's shoulders, noting the tears already threatening to fall.

"Tell me.." he whispered to the shaking pony. He teleported them to the couch, where he wrapped Inkspell in his arms in a way that wouldn't set his bruises off again, and kissed him reassuringly.

Eventually the story came out, how he'd tried to help....

Discord frowned, anger stewing inside at the thugs that dared threaten his lover. He examined the bruises, worried by how bad they looked, but Inkspell assured him he'd be OK. But the stallions haunted gaze, coupled with the bags under his eyes made Discord decide to send him home.

"B-but the paperwork.." Inkspell object feebly as Discord re-buttoned the waistcoat he'd tried to hide the bruises under, and kissed him softly.

"Can WAIT," Discord insisted "now go on, shoo! I want you better by tomorrow!"

Inkspell at last nodded, and Discord reluctantly let him go. Much as wanted to ravish the cute pony, those bruises were still fresh...

Inkspell stopped at a doctors on his way home, picking up something to help speed up the healing. So preoccupied was he, he didn’t notice he was being followed..

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Discord for the time being, tried to focus, but something was gnawing at the back of his mind, and as the afternoon came to a close, he decided to see if he could find out something about those thugs that'd attacked Inkspell for trying to protect that other pony. He recalled Inkspell's description of the stallion, and set out hunting. It sounded like a typical operation, which meant that pony had been under attack for either money or something else!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some hours later, close to evening time, Discord at long last came across the pony in question, having transformed into his pony form and asked several locals.

The pony looked strung out and twitchy, constantly glancing this way and that as he locked up his shop.

"Hey YOU." Discord spoke coldly, seeing the pony yelp and back away he advanced "I have some questions for you."

"Are y-you a cop? Because I ain’t talking to no cop, I done nothing wrong!"

"Well, your grammar should be an arrestable offence, you little fool!" Discord spat, reaching out and grabbing the pony by his mane and dragging him into the shadows of the nearby alley.

“Now you listen to me, I want to know who attacked you the other night, and why they attacked a friend of mine for trying to help you!"

"I don't know what your-" slam, back into the wall, Discord's eyes glowed an angry red.

"Tell. Me." he hissed furiously.

At last the petrified pony blurted out he was under duress from this gang that'd cropped up the city some months before. Led by some stranger from the Empire, they'd started extorting money from several businesses, who had no choice but to pay up, otherwise the thugs had a tendency to get violent.

"The boss said he had to escape the crystal empire after some overbearing snobby royal got wind of what was going on!"

Discord's mind whirled, could this be the same group Inkspell had stopped by going to-

"Let me guess, Prince Sombra?" he said coldly.

"I-I think so, he just described him as "built like a brick outhouse, and far too tough to fight”, so he left!"

"That describes Sombra to a T..." Discord muttered "so now that worthless trash has come here? I have to find Inkspell!"

He glared at the hapless pony “If they've laid one hoof on him because he tried to help YOU, I will make you PAY!”

He dropped the pony he was threatening, only concerned for his lovers well-being now, and left. Racing through the air towards the house Inkspell had said he was renting...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inkspell was sleeping atop his couch, medicine freshly applied, when he heard the door rattle.

His ears pricked up, and he felt himself go tense. Who was there...?

He was about to open the window and clamber out, when a pegasi shot in and tackled him to the floor.

"Got him boss!" the goon announced. Inkspell squirmed, but the bigger pony had him pinned. Soon another pony strode in, smirking.

"Boss said he couldn’t believe the same moron would get himself burned twice, but there's no doubt about it, you’re the idiot who cost him his operation when you set that brute Sombra against him in the first place! Apparently that big galoot wasn't as thick headed as the boss would have liked, he worked it out all too fast. Boss had to call in every favour to escape jail...now YOU come slithering into the works once more..."

"Get off me!" Inkspell cried out, but he couldn’t budge the larger pony pinning him down. He could feel one hoof pressing into his neck, the other his lower back.

“Well, Boss said he doesn’t want you interfering a second time, so it's lights out little snitch!”

--Somepony help me!!-- Inkspell pleaded silently. The bigger pony advanced, a knife floating up from where it'd been strapped to his hind leg.

"Just another B&E.." he laughed "you should've stayed out of our business-!"

He raised the blade, and Inkspell shut his eyes, the last image in his head that of his precious lover, Discord. At least he'd finally found somepony that made him feel so undeniably good...

--Goodbye..-- he panicked, feeling cold steel pressing against his neck-

There was a feral roar, and the next second the knife wielder was thrown back against the wall by a bast of magic, with so much force, it knocked him out, the knife clattering to the floor.

The one pinning Inkspell turned, and was unceremoniously punched out cold by what he thought was a blur.

Inkspell huddled on the floor, whimpering in fright...

"Are you alright, my little Inkspell? Can you hear me?"

That voice..?

He was gathered up in strong forelegs, concerned red eyes meeting his. Soft wings curved around him, their softness like a blanket.

"D-Discord!" he stammered in relief, before throwing his forelegs around the pony's neck, burying his muzzle in the others coat.

"Its quite alright my dear boy, your safe now..." Discord comforted him, rubbing his back gently.

"They were gonna kill me.." Inkspell looked up at last, tears as crystalline as his coat balancing precariously on deep black lashes. Discord brushed them away gently, kissing the scared pony.

"Don’t worry, they'll be dealt with!" he promised fiercely "they'll regret even touching one hair on your precious hide!"

He spent the next few minutes soothing Inkspell's shattered nerves, until the crystal pony seemed calm enough to sit up by himself. After a sweetly intimate yet respectful check to be sure he wasn't injured, Discord said he had to deal with those two bozos.

Inkspell huddled atop the bed as Discord became a Draconequus once more to pick up the two goons. He vanished away with them, returning sevral minutes later saying he'd dumped them in the custody of the nearest police station, to the shock of the officer in charge.

"They may need to talk to you tomorrow, my precious..." he advised Inkspell, who was shivering now.

“O-ok...” Inkspell nodded.

Discord made the sweetest cup of tea laced with honey that he could possibly make, and brought this up to Inkspell. But the dazed unicorns magic was on the fritz, and he nearly dropped the teacup, so Discord tried a different tactic. Taking a swig of the tea, he kissed Inkspell with the utmost tenderness, using his tongue to part the pony's lips, intending to feed him the sweet liquid that way.

For a moment it seemed the traumatized pony's throat had seized up entirely, but after Discord gently rubbed his neck, he felt him swallow the honeyed tea...

“That’s better, isn’t it?” Discord asked. A nod, wide blue and green eyes focused on him.

“Can you drink the rest, or do you need me to help?” he teased jokingly. Inkspell flushed red, an almost feverish gleam in his eyes for a split second, but he stammered he'd be OK.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After the tea, Inkspell seemed less shook up, but still seemed somehwhat on edge as the sun began to set.

"Please don’t leave me.." he begged Discord, when the Draconequus got up to put the teacup away. He was stricken with a sudden fear of being alone that night. All he could think about was his lovers warmth and safety, love that chased away the terror...

"I’m not going to leave you like this," Discord said firmly, kissing Inkspell softly, hearing the unicorn almost cry in relief.

Ignoring the dishes he returned to sit atop the bed with Inkspell. Shifting back into pony form to make his lover feel better, he examined the bruises on Inkspell's body, glad to see the old ones were rapidly fading.

He spotted the chemists bag and asked Inkspell what it was? When the unicorn told him it was medicine to help the bruises heal, Discord set about administering it. As he rubbed some into the fresh bruise mark on Inkspell's lower back, he was aware the other was trembling a little.

He assumed it was shock at first, but then he seen Inkspell fidget and sigh as he settled onto his stomach, and asked was he OK?

"I'll be fine...." Inkspell assured him, but it was strange, he still felt wired..

"You sure my dear boy? You’re shaking..."

"M-my hearts still racing so fast, when you swooped in out of nowhere to save me..I.." he blushed deeply, pressing a hoof to his chest. The fading light caught his eyes, making them sparkle. He was biting his lip again in that sexy way that captured Discord's attention...

"Ahh, I see..." Discord sat back with a knowing nod, NOW he understood, "your body’s getting its signals mixed up. Adrenaline, mixing with lust. Tell me," he leant down and trailed a hoof down Inkspell's back, letting it slide over his rump, as he whispered close to his ear "is anything besides your heart pounding?"

Inkspell yelped and flattered himself to the bed, legs splayed out either side in an attempt to hide what Discord had already guessed...

Discord chuckled and kissed behind Inkspell's ear, sounding entirely unfazed..

"Nothing to be afraid of my dear boy, your reaction is perfectly natural. Your body was freaking out, letting all that adrenaline loose. That plus your relief at seeing ME~" another gentle nuzzle, and a muffled groan from Inkspell "well, your body doesn’t know where to direct all that energy!"

"W-what do I do?" Inkspell stammered.

Discord smiled, and whispered in his ear one simple instruction:

"Lift that gorgeous rear of yours up a little my boy, and leave the rest to me!"

What was Discord going to do? The obvious answer popped into Inkspell's head and he flushed. He knew from studying that allowing a lover to mount you from that position was a far more enhanced pleasure, but he'd always been shy about doing it that way, liking to see his lovers face...

But Discord had something far more intriguing than simple intercourse planned.

"This particular technique," he purred, smiling as his flustered aide tucked his legs underneath him and shifted his hips so Discord could get the access he desired, "is known to make the receiver near lose their mind..."

"W-whats- Ahh!" Inkspell's question died off as he FELT what Discord was doing. Felt the pegasi lift his tail out of the way with a gentle tenderness, the silken strands fanning out over Inkspell's back. Oh, sweet Celestia he'd never felt anything like this. Was this what Discord had meant by "that’s only the beginning of what I can do with you?"

--He truly is so innocent, that he never requested a former lover treat his body to this delight...-- Discord pondered, as he kept a firm grip on Inkspell's hips, stopping the flustered, aroused stallion from squirming free. He could feel his lover's body tensing with each movement, each push and thrust of his tongue..

Inkspell scrunched the blanket between his hooves, his body crying out both in ecstasy, and for release.

“Mm, so sensitive...” Discord paused a moment in his lavishing of his prized stallion, his pony-form wings so tensed and fluffed up they almost ached.

“P-please...don't stop...” Inkspell begged, turning his head as best he could to look into Discords sharp red eyes. Seeing the same wanting reflected in them that he felt.

“As you wish my dear boy~” Discord growled playfully, going in for another round.

“Aaahnn….ooh… t-that's...”

Realising he'd hit a sensitive nerve, Discord played it for all it was worth. And Inkspell's dulcet voice, gasping Discord's name only pushed the pony-dracon to move quicker, drawing his lover closer and closer to finish...

"D-Discord, I-I..." Inkspell could barely speak, so muddled was his mind, overridden by his heart and a far more base sensation...

--Let yourself release, I know you're so close, my sweet little stallion...--- Discord thought, and with one final movement, his efforts finally pushed his lovers body past its threshold.

With a final, wordless cry, Inkspell's body tensed as he felt the orgasm race through him like a wildfire, taking his breath away...

He felt Discord let go of his hips, and allowed his body to sink back onto the sheets. He closed his eyes, breathing rapidly and shallow...

"Better?" Discord appeared next to him, reaching a hoof up to stroke Inkspell's cheek. Inkspell nodded, throat dry, unable to speak...

"I'll get you some water~" Discord chuckled, getting up and trotting out of the room. He took a fair few minutes to come back, during which time Inkspell finally got himself into a sitting position. When he seen the state of the bedsheets underneath where he'd been lying, he blushed.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Discord came back the unicorn was standing on still trembling legs, stripping the bedsheets off the bed.

"My apologies my dear Inkspell~" Discord chuckled, then took over removing the sheet to let his lover drain the glass of water he’d brought up for him.

"I fixed your door lock, and put a few spells around the house. Nopony will lay one hoof on you, I’ve seen to it personally..." Discord told him once the besmirched sheet had been crammed into the laundry basket.

"Thank you..." a shaky Inkspell kissed Discord gratefully.

"Nopony gets away with harming my precious little stallion.." Discord growled darkly, scooping Inkspell up and carrying him to the bed once more. "now, YOU need sleep my love..."

He wrapped Inkspell in his hold, smiling as the exhausted and overwhelmed pony rapidly fell asleep, his needs sated.

--There is so much I can teach you my dear boy...-- Discord smiled as he closed his eyes, guarding his lover, even in dreams.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He had a very vivid dream, in which their roles were reversed, where Inkspell's articulate, talented mouth was being put to far more interesting uses then simply charming anypony he met into a good mood-

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He snapped awake with a groan. What an awkward time to have THAT sort of dream.

Inkspell was barely used to the idea of sex being capable of blowing his mind. Asking him to return the favour right this point in time was asking a bit much. Although the fantasy DID intrigue him. Perhaps that would be a later lesson...

Ignoring the almost distractingly erotic dream for now, he studied the sleeping Inkspell. The pony was lying on his side, his back to Discord. Unbidden, Discord's eyes travelled the length of his body, the sheets clinging to a body he'd ravished twice now, almost in defiance of Discord's attempts to calm himself down.

--I hope this isn’t too much for him. I get the feeling he will have quite an appetite the more this suppressed sexual side of him is brought to light...afterall, he's been denying himself so long now, every sensation is practically a first!--

With a wistful sigh, he trotted over to the bathroom door....

Inkspell stirred briefly at the sound of the door clicking shut, wondering where Discord had gone? He tried to stay awake for when he came back out, but dozed off once more...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He woke later on in the morning, to the sound of Discord humming as he wandered in with a tray.

"I’m afraid my cooking is sub par compared to my sexual prowess" he joked, making Inkspell blush.

"I bet it’ll taste delicious," Inkspell smiled as Discord snuggled up next to him, feeding him bites of toast between kisses.

“Mmm, so I’m that good am I?” Discord teased.

--Somehow he even makes breakfast wonderful..-- Inkspell blushed at the thought. Then a thought occurred to him, and he peered up at Discord, asking was his stomach OK?

"Why of course it is, why do you ask?" Discord asked him, genuinely baffled.

"W-well, I heard you go to the bathroom this morning, I tried to stay awake as long as I could...”

--Oh,-- Discord realised, --I do forget how untainted his mind is...he hasn't come up with the obvious conclusion!--

“-anyway, you were in there awhile, I thought you might have a stomach ache..."

Discord blinked at this stallions sweet innocent face, then kissed him swiftly, a wry grin on his face as he explained what he’d been doing in there.

At the mention of the act, Inkspell blushed. He'd forced himself away from any such longings, in an effort to suppress who he was.

"Did you really never...?" Discord asked. Inkspell ducked his head and shook it.

"I wasn’t...sure of what i would feel. Its just ME, right, h-how can I mimic what a lover can-"

“Then..what did you do when you got...you know...excited?” Discord asked.

“I threw myself into my books, and eventually it would fade away. I had nopony to turn to back then, so I coped as best I could. I was too ashamed and afraid to speak to anypony about it. I thought I was a freak..”

"Oh sweet Celestia, how wrong you are my dear boy!"

With a poof of magic, Discord shifted back into his Draconequus form, pulling Inkspell into his hold so the pony's back was pressed against Discord's stomach, sitting at an angle.

Inkspell blinked, what was he doing...?

"Now my dear boy..." Discord kissed behind his ear, making Inkspell groan and fidget "lets start your lesson, shall we?"

He wrapped the fingers of his right paw around Inkspell's right hoof. He brought the hoof to his lips, kissing it gently before assisting it in sliding down Inkspell's chest, then stomach....

"Ah-!" Inkspell blushed in that adorkable way of his. Discord curved his other arm around Inkspell's waist, keeping him still.

"Don't be ashamed my dear Inkspell...you should embrace these urges, attend to them...its perfectly natural."

Discord brought the hoof to rest at the intimate spot, feeling Inkspell shivering in delight. The pony’s eyes were half closed, lost in this new sensation...

Embarrassment soon took a back seat to sharp thrills of pleasure as Discord began guiding Inkspell's hoof in swift, exploring strokes...

"Like it?" Discord purred.

"Y-yes....I..." Inkspell could barely form a full sentence "I do.."

Discord kissed Inkspell's neck to distract him while he at last let go of Inkspell's hoof, leaving the pony's climax up to him alone. As planned, Inkspell didn’t notice, merely slipped automatically into a measure that was just right for him…

“Mmh, Discord..” Inkspell's eyes were closed, breathing shallow and fast. In his mind all he could see was the being that'd pleasured him so intensely the last two occasions…

--Even in your fantasies my dear boy, have I made that big an impact on you?-- Discord pondered, with a thrill of pride and longing for this pony...

Soon enough he felt Inkspell's whole body tense up, aware of the stallions back arcing, his muzzle pressed to Discords neck, a sharp cry of pleasure punctuating the room...but it wasn’t the only one. The way Inkspell had been squirming had made a certain something very hard to deal with.

Dazed and still getting his breath back, Inkspell let himself rest against Discord's warm body.

"Good boy~" the Draconequus chuckled "now, I’d suggest you get a shower, and I’ll deal with the sheets, again.."

“Again? Oh!" Inkspell blushed, seeing the evidence atop the covers.

"Don’t worry about it, the fault was not just YOURS this time..." Discord chuckled at Inkspell's blushing expression as he realised there were TWO sets of evidence, "what can I say? The way you were grinding that cute ass of yours the whole time did NOT escape my attention..."

Inkspell, speechless, nodded and trotted off to the shower.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inside, with the hot water pouring down over him, he relived what’d just happened and felt a carbon copy thrill run through him. Add to that, the fact simply watching HIM toying with himself had gotten his partner all hot and bothered...

Something had awoken since that first encounter on the couch. He'd never known feelings, or pleasure like this...and he didn’t want it to stop…

But also the way Discord seemed to treasure him for who he was, without question...

--Am I...in love..? I’ve never wanted anypony to break down my barriers this strongly. Never let anypony take me this far..--

With a frantic whimper, he realised he'd become freshly aroused.

He sat hunched over in the shower, torn between putting Discord's lessons to practise, and praying it would fade away. Like he'd told himself in the past...

Discord's voice echoed in his ears as he hesitantly raised one hoof off the tiled floor-

"Good boy...don’t be ashamed.."

Biting his lip to muffle any sound he might make, he allowed his hoof to make contact...

Bananas?

Out in the main room, Discord walked back in from the laundry cupboard, hearing the sound of the water running...and beneath it, another sound.

His lips curved into a curious smile as he recognised the tempo and pace of Inkspell's ragged breathing, barely masked by the sound of running water.

--So, he’s still hot and sweaty hm? I may need to get him over that before we go to the station to discuss the attack last night...--

He rubbed his paws together with a cackle of glee, so many ideas charging around his head...it seemed he'd been a catalyst in the sexual awakening of this sweet stallion.

So when a flushed Inkspell wandered out of the bathroom, he seen Discord lying on the bed, flicking through a magazine, eyebrows raised.

"Ah, there you are my little bed bunny~" he purred, throwing the magazine aside and patting the bed beside him. Inkspell clambered up, the towel still draped over his shoulders.

"Mmm, how're you feeling?" Discord asked "does your back hurt?"

"No, its much better now," Inkspell smiled softly "That medicine worked wonders..."

"Good, because I believe you need one more matter attended to before we leave..."

“W-what do you mean?" Inkspell stammered. Discord kissed him, murmuring softly;

"I heard you in the shower my sweet stallion..."

Inkspell went red.

"So my question is, are you still feeling, how shall I phrase this, horny?"

A squeak, and cue Inkspell burying his head in his hooves.

"So cute.." Discord chuckled "but we have a ways to go to stop you blushing every time I mention SEX."

More blushing and biting of his lip from Inkspell.

"How about...Bonking? Horizontal tango? Roll in the hay? Plowin' the field?"

More blushing, and Discord finally stopped spouting euphemisms.

"Now, I could just as easily just use my mouth, after all, you’ve experienced what I can do with my tongue~" a faint chuckle""buut...I think this calls for a serious plowing my dear boy..."

Inkspell gazed up at the Draconequus, wondering did he mean he'd do him in that form? The thought of THAT made a fresh pulse of curiosity race along his body, one part in particular.

Discord vanished, appearing behind his lover. Warm paw-tips pressed against his rear, pushing into his body just enough to make him fully aroused.

"Ah...please.." Inkspell blushed again, torn between what he wanted and what his soulless parents had taught him. Getting so carried away like this was new, but exciting...

"Mmm, even your own body is begging for it..." the paw-tips pushed further into him, and Discord gave a little moan "mm, so hot inside..."

He appeared back in front of Inkspell, rubbing his pawtips together, a clear, sticky substance coating them.

"What do you say, dear boy?" He transformed into a pony, wings fluffing up and snapping out with a groan from the pony-dracon "mm, yes that’s good.."

Inkspell briefly thought about telling him he didn’t have to change. He...he'd LIKE Discord to be Discord...fully. But his eyes came to rest on the other ponys- his mind blanked, and he lost his train of thought.

"Y-yes..." he said huskily, squirming as like Discord said, his own body pleaded for the other to satisfy him...

"Good boy..." Discord kissed him teasingly, then got up and moved to stand behind him.

He ran his hooves over Inkspell's sides, then over the pony's cutie mark, before anchoring his hoofs at the pony's hips.

"Lift your rump up, my gorgeous Inkspell, higher, that's it..." Discord tutored him how to best position his body so he could enter him with ease...and maximum pleasure.

Inkspell felt the heat of the others body as he thrust into him, and he fought to stop from collapsing from sheer ecstasy.

Discord stayed still a moment, just relishing in the heat and enticing, musky scent of Inkspell's body. He pushed until he was fully inside, the other pony's body stretching to accommodate him. The dear boy had been having quite a physical time since the previous evening. But Inkspell's body seemed capable of taking the strain…

--Sweet Celestia he has quite the endurance doesn’t he?-- Discord mused.

"Ready?" he said softly, gently running one hoof over Inkspell's back, making him shiver and squirm, which made a wonderful jolt run down his body.

"Y-yes.." Inkspell managed to persuade his brain to use words, although the pleasure was making it hard to think...

"Yes, what?"

"Y-yes, Discord..." Inkspell panted.

"That’s my boy..." he grinned, before pulling out most of the way, then thrusting deep into him once more. A delicious shudder ran down Inkspell's body. He felt Discord start off with slow, languid thrusts, before giving in to temptation and picking up the pace.

With every new movement, he felt Inkspell's body relax, the tension rapidly easing, and he soon noticed the aide was digging his hooves into the bed and pushing back ONTO the organ plunging in and out of his body. He was calling out Discord's name, begging him to keep going...

Soon Discord could feel the tension building up inside him, ready to release-

"D-Discord I’m...I’m going to..." He heard Inkspell's flustered speech and pushed even faster, and soon enough:

His wings hurt they were so tense, the flight appendages twitching as he came.

Inkspell was aware, behind the rush of his own climax, of a familiar, hot sticky substance filling him, trickling down his thighs as Discord finished. For a few moments they were both silent, as the heady feeling of pleasure began to fade...

"Oh, that was exquisite my dear boy..." Discord reluctantly pulled out, and noticed the overspill.

"Oops, you may need another wash my precious Inkspell..." the dracon-pony grinned as he lay down next to a trembling Inkspell.

Inkspell shifted onto his side and smiled at Discord. In the early morning light, his coat sparkled, with a faint sheen of sweat highlighting the effect. He looked like a beautiful crystal statue come to life. And that smile, oh sweet Celestia...

"What’s wrong"? Inkspell asked, seeing Discord flat out staring at him. The dracon-pony shook his head, and kissed him deeply.

"Just admiring how cute you look after a good bonking my dear boy~" he chuckled softly "I do declare you’re irresistible.."

He nuzzled Inkspell's neck, feeling the pony's pulse racing rapidly beneath his coat.

--You’re something else entirely my precious aide, I don't think I can ever give you up. I intend to keep you by my side, whatever it takes.--

He was distracted from his thoughts by Inkspell snuggling even closer and kissing him. They got caught up in a pretty heavy session of kissing and snuggling, before realising they had to get up eventually...

As they reluctantly made to head for the shower, Inkspell noticed the bed was once again splashed with fluids, and flushed, starting on removing that sheet too. Discord chuckled;

"We're going to need to do some washing later. That or buy you new sheets!"

Inkspell nodded, blushing contentedly. It’d felt even better then before, being taken from behind. He told Discord as such, that he hadn’t done it THAT way in so long he'd forgotten how amazing it felt...

"Another new thing to explore...ooh, I have some wonderful ways to...TOY with you as it were..."

Inkspell thought he detected something behind the emphasised words, but he was too shagged out to think straight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After a second quick wash, they set out for the police station. Inkspell was quizzed about the attack, what he knew etc. By the end of it, his mind was whirling and he was glad to get to work...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Late the next afternoon, the couples increased libido came back to bite them in the ass.

Discord had been flicking through a book, one with admittedly shameless sex scenes in it, and one had struck him as being reminiscent of his and Inkspell's little playtime the prior morning. The description of the sensual rutting the dominant stallion had given the shyer, submissive one..

It made him flash back to that dream, and he shook his head to dismiss it.

---Bad Discord, don’t go pouncing on the poor fellow!-- he told himself there was still a ways to go with teaching the submissive Inkspell how to handle HIM

Dangit, he wasn’t getting out of this any time soon, Inkspell was right there, so tempting…

He stared into space, trying to suppress his lust daydreams.

Inkspell glanced up under his fringe, spotting the cover of the book and raising an eyebrow. he knew that one as well, it was VERY graphic, certainly it'd made him blush a fair bit.

Some minutes after, after witnessing the Draconequus fidgeting out of the corner of his eye, he heard Discord cough and mutter something about bathrooms. In a flash of impulsiveness, he teleported so he was straddling the Draconequus, stopping him from getting up.

"Oh, what's this?" Discord raised an eyebrow "something the matter, my dear boy?"

"Y-yes.." Inkspell felt his new-found impulsive streak making a run for it "I know what you’re setting off to-" An eyebrow raise and a chuckle from Discord, but he continued, blushing "a-and I think its only fair, after everything you’ve done for me..."

"You want to return the favour, is that it?" Discord raised an eyebrow, this was starting to turn out like that dream he'd had last night. He kissed Inkspell lightly, imagining those lips.....

The book slid from his paw and fall onto the couch. It fell open to one of the raunchier chapters; and both glanced down at it;

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Tastes good, no?" The bigger stallion studied the dazed expression on his lovers face, as the slimmer pony licked his lips, mopping up any stray droplets.

Without waiting for a response he pulled his lover onto his lap, and kissed him, smiling at the salty-sweet taste on his lovers lips.

"For a first timer, you did exceedingly well," this compliment made his sweet little bed-partner blush.

"Now, lets see what we can do to you in return, mm?"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What Discord had said that morning about getting him in such a manner ran through Inkspell's mind. He and his last colt-friend HAD tried doing this once, but it’d been an awkward affair. But this was Discord, someone he cared about, who’d opened his mind to so many new things...

"I-I've never...not fully..." he blushed.

"My advice is, deep breaths, and just do what comes naturally...ooh, that's a euphemism too!" Discord chuckled.

But he was distracted from starting another raid on his supply of innuendos as Inkspell, a determined look on those cute features, shuffled back, and down...

Discord didn’t bother trying to hide how excited he was, and he seen Inkspell blush at the size of it.

To Inkspell, it looked BIGGER in this form. He was certain. Nevertheless, he felt his heart pound as he licked his lips. He took a deep breath to steady his nerves, flashing back to his former date, what little they’d done together....and tossed all that out the mental window.

He started with just the tip and even that made the Draconequus squirm.

"That’s it dear boy...more..Mmm, that’s good....use that talented little tongue of yours-nnh!" Discord groaned as he felt Inkspell taking him in. Inkspell's eyes fluttered closed as he became accustomed to the engorged organ..

Inkspell could feel his heart racing, excitement like never before pulsing through his veins. He'd never taken such a bold step before...the taste was intoxicating, and they weren’t even finished. Its presence filled his muzzle, as he pushed himself further, to go beyond his shy self...

--Goodness, for somepony who's had so little experience, you know how to use that tongue of yours, dear boy..-- Discord thought absently, as he tangled his paws in Inkspell's mane, easing further into his lovers mouth. Inkspell's ears were twitching and trembling, signs of nerves and excitement.

He didn’t catch onto the fact Inkspell didn’t seem bothered he wasn’t in his pony form...

Needless to say they were both pretty shocked when the door opened, and a loud Princess-y shriek met their ears.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Celestia was stood outside the door, head cocked to one side. She was trying to decipher the sounds she was hearing from inside discords office. She was no prude, and no stranger to the sexual arts, so she was growing more and more certain by the second that something was going on. She summoned a box of popcorn, this was rather entertaining...

"Sister?" she turned.

OOPS. Luna.

"What art thou doing? Staring at a door and eating sweets?"

"Yes..?" Celestia grinned sheepishly "I’m done, lets go-!"

"What in your name is going on in there- what a racket!" Luna shoved the door open with one hoof. Celestia panicked, shooting after her "Luna don-"

Luna clocked was going on, and shrieked.

"MOST UNCOUTH!" She bellowed, stamping a hoof and making an obstacle between her and what she and her sister had just seen pop into existence.

What had they seen?

Well, sadly (for Luna anyway) the angle of the floating couch had not prevented an all out assault on their eyes, not that Celestia seemed too fussed. Discord leaning back against the arm of the couch, claws tangled in a stallions mane. The angle they were posed in left no alternative but to assume the sexiest thing. Their eyes locked with Discord's, who went as red as a radioactive tomato-

And thus, with a poof of magic, a massive banana tree appeared, its foliage blocking the view.

Luna heard Celestia go "aw," sounding almost disappointed. Then the sun Princess noted what TYPE of tree it was.

"Bananas?" Celestia enquired after an uncomfortable pause, looking at her sister in amusement, eyebrows raised "really..?"

Luna realised the implication and face-hoofed.

"Its not what it looks like.." Discord waved at them over the bananas leaves "wait...what does it look like?"

“What dost thou THINK you over-sexed chaos beast!" Luna roared, and Celestia motioned her to lower her voice.

"Discord.." she sighed "when will you learn you cant solve a problem by shagging it?"

"He’s not a problem!" Discord said smugly.

"We gathered THAT!" Luna hissed.

Ducking back out of sight Discord was heard to say "if you're going to sit there with your jaw hanging open, I can find a use for this banana!"

An incoherent sound, then-

"Mmph!" clearly he'd followed through on that threat by the sounds of it.

“Ooh, a good fit!”

Celestia suppressed her giggles and spoke "Yes, but you’re still sh-"

All this was too much for poor Inkspell, who got the banana out of his mouth, and decided to hide, preferably before exploding in embarrassment. A flash of light distracted them all, and Discord was heard to call his lovers name.

Then he detected the unicorns magic from where he'd teleported to, and chuckled;

"You do realise-"

“Yes, I'm aware its a closet, I get the irony." a furiously embarrassed voice drifted through the wooden door. Celestia couldn't suppress her amusement and started to laugh with glee.

Luna stared at her sister as the other Princess had to sit down with a bump, she was laughing so hard.

"What’s so funny?!" she blurted "explain, sister!!"

"I- pfft.." Celestia was clutching her sides "oh it's been many a century since I walked in on something like that! Back a ways, ponies cared not for locking doors...."

"Get a good eyeful did you?" Discord huffed, folding his arms and getting his red face under control. Talk about killing the mood!

"Regrettably yes!" Luna huffed "we wish we could wash our eyeballs!"

"Oh don’t be such a stick in the mud Luna dear!" Discord appeared beside her, flicking her ear. She pushed him away, glowering;

"We don’t need to hear about where thou art sticking ANYTHING, Discord!"

"Ooh, that’s a GOOD one, Princess!" he chuckled, making Luna flush again.

"Discord, enough!" Celestia stepped between them before Luna gave the Draconequus a good kicking, she could see her sister was getting angry...

"Fine, fine.." Discord dismissed the matter with a flick of his hand. "now you've ruined the fun, what do you want?"

"I want to talk to you, BOTH of you. Separately. You wait here, I’ll just borrow your assistant a moment!"

She teleported from sight, then her voice was heard inside the closet "oof, bit cramped in here! There, gotcha!"

Then she reappeared, with a confused Inkspell slung over her back. the stallion seemed too stunned to move. "I’ll return him shortly."

Then she was gone.

"Banana?" Discord asked Luna, who twitched.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I’m not going to bite," Celestia repeated as Inkspell sat as hunched up he could, gaze transfixed on the floor. The poor stallion was on the verge of crying, he was so wound up by all this.

Inkspell just squeaked.

"You're not in trouble...although I fear Discord will get a flank kicking from my sister if he makes any more jokes..." she chuckled. But she was startled when poor Inkspell truly DID start crying then, doing his best to muffle the sound, his floppy fringe hiding his eyes. His coat dulled in front of her eyes, and she was once again amazed by how crystal ponies showed much of their feelings in this way. Well, strong feelings anyway...

It was while she was tilting her head at a funny angle to get a look at his face under that mane, when she seen bruises on his chest, and straightened up.

"What’s happened?" she asked, worry edging her voice. "Tell me he DIDN'T-"

"W-what?!" Inkspell slowed his tears, and looked down at himself, then up at the shocked Princess. Putting two and two together he shook his head, franticly waving a hoof at her "nonono, please don't misunderstand-!!"

He took a deep breath "these bruises are from a FIGHT. And not with Discord. I got into a scuffle with some thugs, no big deal! Please don’t be angry at him!"

"I'm not, just very concerned...what happened?" Celestia winced, they looked on the mend, but the colouration of the bruising was painful to look at!

"I tried to stop them attacking another stallion, they didn’t take kindly to it. They came after me, b-but Discord, he...he knocked them out and handed them over to the police ponies!"

Celestia raised an eyebrow, surprised Discord hadn’t taken to shutting them in his chaos realm, he'd done that once or twice, and its made those imprisoned twitchy for weeks.

"T-the matters being handled P-Princess...it was just something from my last job..."

"Your last job, at the empire?"

A nod.

"I brought the matter to Prince Sombra's attention, but the boss escaped jail before his highness could pass judgement..." Inkspell shivered as he recalled that incident, how scared he'd felt, and how kind Sombra had been to him.

"Yes, he did mention it. I will inform of this, he may wish to speak with you." Celestia accepted this with a nod.

A nod from Inkspell too.

"Now.." Celestia's voice took on a motherly tone "there's no need to be embarrassed, I just have a few questions..."

She made them both some tea, and began asking questions.

"Are you under any coercion? I know Discord can be...manipulative. He’s a chaos being, it's in his nature to be very persuasive."

"No! No!" Inkspell shook his head vigorously "not at all! Please trust me your majesty!"

"Its all right, you don’t need to keep bowing, this is all strictly informal..."

Gradually, between bouts of Inkspell turning so red she was concerned he would pass out, she got the whole story. How Discord had wound him up, calling him a doormat. Inkspell had retorted how dare he- and Discord had laughed, saying he found him amusing. Then he'd tried to guess what Inkspell had meant by "I’m a freak", and had seemed confused by Inkspell's fears.

"You see, Princess..." Inkspell's expression took on a distant gaze "I was so used to begin alienated and told I was a freak I wasn’t expecting anypony, or Draconequus to see me the way Discord does. I know he seems like he doesn’t give a flying- well, you know- but I don’t know how else to say it, he's the first to treat me special for who I am, he didn’t force me into anything!"

Celestia studied his body language, the way his eyes softened, and he looked happy when he spoke of Discord. Had this shy, sweet natured stallion somehow gotten discords attention good and proper? As opposed to yet another fling?

"Do you...love him?" she heard herself ask. Inkspell jumped, and looked up at her, his heterochromatic eyes wide. Then he blushed again, bit his lip and then nodded.

"Perhaps it is foolish of me, naïve even. I mean, he could have somepony more experienced if he wanted someone on his level. But he...he tells me I shouldn’t hide away. That I shouldn’t..."

This gave Celestia food for thought.

--I don’t think its somepony experienced Discord seeks. He wants somepony who can understand his pain, of being alone. Seems this stallion knows it more than most he's encountered. But does Discord feel as strongly for HIM?--

"Be ashamed?" she finished Inkspell's previous sentence "He's right my dear. You’ve done nothing wrong. Discord himself knows a lot about acceptance of who he is, he was quite the troublemaker before he met Fluttershy.."

“Who's Fluttershy?"

“A dear friend of my dear Twilight Sparkle. I tasked her with helping Discord reform his trouble making ways. She did so admirably. There is a lot to this story, but I suggest you ask Discord himself. It's unfair of me to tell you, its HIS story."

Inkspell nodded.

"There is one thing that concerns me. I personally do not intend to penalise you for your relationship with Discord, but there are those who WILL. They’ll use the fact that your his assistant to claim harassment or abuse of power. It is with this in mind, I’m reluctantly dismissing you from your current position..."

A loud "WHAT?!" was heard, and the next second Inkspell was scooped up in the Draconequus' hold, with the bigger being shielding him.

"Learn to KNOCK, Discord.." Celestia sighed "where's Luna?"

"I left her playing with the bananas!" Discord said. Inkspell and Celestia both wore looks of "uhh..." before Discord clarified.

"I gave them hooves and eyes, called them banana ponies and left her trying to shepherd them around the room! It distracted her enough for me to escape!"

Celestia sighed softly, then returned to being cross at discord for barging in.

"Since you're here Discord, I will speak with you NOW."

"Could you give us a moment my little Inkspell?" Discord murmured to the other. Inkspell nodded, bowed to Celestia before excusing himself once more and scuttling out of the room.

Discord gave a theatrical sigh and draped himself over the chair "ask away!"

"I wont hide the amount of times I’ve caught you hitting on both the staff and pony else, let alone the amount of times I’d get rumours of one night stands. What makes this one so special?"

Discord sighed, fell silent for a minute, and when he spoke, Celestia was surprised at the honesty in his voice "Truthfully, I don’t know. It started just as teasing him, I figured he was just another bland doormat! But when he got mad and spoke back, it was amusing, he looked so honestly outraged. But the way that fire faded once I found out his preferences..." he gave an angry huff "Well, it simply got to me. After everything Fluttershy had taught me about tolerance, seeing him so AFRAID was a shock. I haven’t seen anypony that on edge since the last time I was awake!"

Celestia nodded thoughtfully.

"He was practically crying when I inadvertently forced him to admit he was gay. The first thing I thought was "WHY?". Why was he so scared? Seems his family are utter bores, treating him likes he's a disgrace because of his sexuality. THAT bothered me. I imagined how Fluttershy and the other girls would treat him, and it hit me: they’d love him! Yet he despises himself so. Thus I figured id make him smile, but something about him...using him as a one time fling felt abhorrent!"

This surprised Celestia, but she didn’t show it. Discord however, wasn’t fooled by the princesses façade;

"I know about my track record Celestia, you can wipe that look off your face." He sighed "Go ahead, laugh, but this ones something worth keeping, that’s all I’m saying."

Celestia nodded "My apologies, I shouldn’t try to fool, you. I'm surprised, I’ll admit, given as you pointed out, you have a bedpost of many notches from previous escapades."

She took on a serious expression as one thought bubbled to the surface "BUT, do you know he's falling for you?"

Discord jolted slightly. While he'd entertained the hope the sweet little stallion would remain his for awhile longer, he hadn’t allowed himself to think about that.

"He said that?"

"Indeed." Celestia arched one eyebrow, studying his face to see how he'd react "He used the "L" word, as its nicknamed."

"Lesbians?" Discord looked puzzled.

An annoyed sigh, "no, the PROPER L word."

"Oh, of course..." Discord flushed. But his heart was racing. Inkspell was in love with him?

"I want to know, before I proceed any further, just how dedicated your fascination with him is. I kid you not when I say he could lose his job if anypony else found out. I at least can help you both out. But it will be for naught if this is just another notch-"

"Don’t you speak about him that way!" Discord got up close and angry "that dear boy has been entirely unafraid of the fact I’m not a pony by nature! He didn’t even bat an eyelid when I first met him! I had to disguise myself to get what I wanted from others, never told them who I was! That little cutie knew from day one, and he still let me have him!"

He was startled a second later by Celestia pulling that scrunch face she made when she was on the verge of giggling.

"What’s so funny!" Discord threw his arms in the air in frustration, what was WITH Celestia today? Any more cryptic nonsense from her and he'd write "please solve" on her forehead-

"I just wanted to be sure. What I’m proposing could be seen as favouritism to some. I wanted to make sure you aren’t intending to discard him as some of your former flings."

Discord glared at her, "Touché..." he grumbled. He'd kinda walked right into that one, really!

After a moments pause, something else occurred to him;

"You don’t seem shocked my dear Celestia?" Discord looked at her. She chuckled.

"I have seen how much love can change a pony, or any other being."

“Are you talking about Sombra?"

"Yes. Once he began to trust all of us, he was so much happier. And when he met his wife, well, he finally let go of the nightmare he'd grown up in!"

Discord nodded. When he'd met Sombra, he'd been startled by the change in the former tyrant, and it wasn’t just the outward physical changes; but his entire outlook!

"How is that family of his anyhow?" he asked.

"Very good, they’re expecting a baby soon, I believe. Little Bright Spark can hardly wait to meet her half-sister..."

"Ah yes, I recall her, the tiny little ball of energy..."

"Indeed, she's a sweet child. Now, I need to discuss your future with your partner…"

What she proposed was almost unheard of, and she stressed once again she was taking a risk doing this so abruptly. But staff changes weren’t all that uncommon, so hopefully nopony would really notice...

“Then why ARE you doing it Celestia?” Discord asked, staring intently at her “what does it matter to you if I care about one stallion above all others?”

“I guess you could say working with Sombra has given me a lot think about. He turned out to be so different from what I’d assumed he was, and all it took was a little understanding...”

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dratted things! Obey thy moon Princess!" Luna bellowed as the banana pones raced around her hooves, refusing to do so.

Three that were trying to make a bolt for the door were suddenly caught in a swirl of magic. Luna looked up, seeing a quiet, familiar stallion standing just inside the door.

"Aha! We thank you for returning them!" She had constructed a small fort out of all discords books, and was keeping the banana pones inside it. "That’s the last of them..."

She noticed Inkspell hadn’t spoken a word, and glanced at him.

"Art thou feeling OK?" she asked. A mute nod, but he looked worried.

"It was awkward, but perhaps we should have heeded our sister and not barged in so, even if that is NOT what an office is for!"

A nod.

"You CAN talk, we wont bite. Or scream." She added as an afterthought.

"I’m sorry Princess..." he spoke to the banana pones, who bounced as high as they could to see him.

"We are over here!" She said sternly, pointing at her face. She noticed he'd been crying and frowned "what is upsetting thee? Did Discord-"

“No!” Inkspell blurted "He's not doing anything mean to me! Why does everypony think that today?"

"Well, aside from those bruises, we KNOW Discord from the past. He hasn’t exactly had a good record in the past..."

"He's not mean! Yes, Princess Celestia did say something about that stuff in his past, she mentioned Fluttershy and the others helped him get better at making friends.."

"They did indeed, but one cannot so easily remove the chaos streak from one born of chaos. It is in his nature to revel in confusion..."

"I will ask him about it," Inkspell said firmly "but if he doesn't want to say anything, I...I wont judge him for it. We all have things were not proud of, I have things in my past I'd rather hide away forever..."

Luna nodded, accepting this "thou maketh a good point, we too share that burden. Perhaps we were too hasty. Times have changed from when we were banished. Sexuality is far more open now. Ponies seem to show it off with wilful abandon, and it puzzles us a little. But we will adapt. And mayhap Discord has more potential then we credit him. Thou art happy, correct?"

Inkspell blushed, and nodded "Yes. I’ve had many failed relationships simply because I could not express who I was, tried to keep everything hidden. In the end it drove former attempts at colt-friends away, I was too afraid to trust my partners. But Discord, he didn’t treat me like a fool, he made it clear from the start what he wanted. He didn’t laugh when I felt out of my depth. He called me cute.." he flushed at the reminder.

Luna studied him thoughtfully. He'd said a lot in so many seconds. he was clearly intelligent, sharp witted, and very kind hearted.

"Well, it seems you may have captured more than just his eye if what you tell us is true. That is remarkable..."

"Boo!" Discord popped up behind them, making Luna screech and Inkspell squeak in fight. Both gave him funny looks, and Discord cracked up laughing.

"Oh, you caught the banana pones I see..." Discord snapped his finger and they returned to being bananas. Luna bid the little mischief makers a goodbye with an amused smile.

Celestia walked in after him, chuckling "right, we've come to an agreement..."

Inkspell listened as he was told he was going to be given a NEW role, as Discord's equal in this job, no longer an aide. They’d be legally recognised as business partners. he was stunned, but so relieved he felt about to collapse. he thanked her profusely, vision blurring with relieved tears.

"I suggest you both clear out for the day, it seems to me you've had enough excitement for one day." Celestia winked at Inkspell, who went bright red.

Discord didn’t waste a second, pulling bouquets of flowers from thin air and giving them to the Princesses before grabbing his partner and zooming out the room, hollaring something about finding a bar for a drink!

"Well that was interesting.." Luna said in the silence, and Celestia smiled in agreement.

"It good, that he's finally found somepony to challenge how he thinks of himself. It seems they provide each other with what they need most.."

Luna nodded, then looked at the sheer number of yellow fruits abound "what do you propose we do with these bananas?"

"I have a few ideas.." Celestia mused."I suggest smoothies, or a milkshake!"

Luna nodded, and they began rounding up the bananas...
