Flutters Is Love. Flutters Is Life.
I was 22 years old. I loved Fluttershy from My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic soo much. I had tons of her merchandise as well as the seasons of the show and all the movies. I wore shirts of her out in public and prayed to her frequently, thankful that I’d been given a life that included her in it. “Flutters Is Love,” I’d think to myself. “Flutters Is Life”.
On my way to the mall one day, a posse of punks saw me sporting a Fluttershy shirt and called me a “pedo”. I knew they were just jealous that I actually had someone to love and care for in my life, unlike them. I called all of them “douchebags”. They all began beating me up on the sidewalk; kicking, punching, slamming me to the concrete before they left me there bloodied and bruised. I cried silently as my whole body hurt. I lay there curled up in a defensive ball on the sidewalk, the sidewalk that was really cold.
A warmth began moving towards me. I felt something soft and gentle touch me. It was Fluttershy. I was soo happy. She whispered into my ear, “Don’t listen to those big, dumb meanies. I’ll take care of you.” She then wiped the blood from me with her soft, feathered wings. She took hold of me in her tender, loving hooves and laid me down onto my stomach before climbing on top of me. She placed both of her forehooves on my back. My body was ready for what came next.
I lay perfectly still as I waited for Flutters to apply her healing touch to me. She gently rubbed my back in a tender massage. The pain inflicted on me by the bullies was still there, but it was greatly decreased thanks to Fluttershy’s tender loving care towards me. I could feel my body relaxing more and more as she continued working her hooves along my back. I melted into her touch. I wished I could express my gratitude towards her further. I let out a soft, pleasant moan as I felt her showering me with her love.
Suddenly, she stopped her massaging. I looked up to see why she’d stopped. That’s when I saw that the bullies had come back. They stood there shocked at the sight of Flutters on top of me. Turning my face around towards her, I saw that she was giving all of them “The Stare”, quite possibly what had them the most terrified. She looked all of them straight in the eye before threatening, “You all have 3 seconds.” She then added to it, “And that’s being generous.”
None of them needed to be told twice as they all got the hell out of Dodge faster than you could say, “I’d like to be a tree”. With all of them gone, she looked down at me with a softer expression.
“They should never bother you again,” she reassured me. “Not if they value their lives even the slightest bit.”
I’ll admit I was shocked by her sudden boldness, but it made her all the more attractive to me at the same time.
She shifted off of me as I rolled onto my back before sitting straight up to better look at her. I thanked her for the loving tenderness that she’d showed towards me in that moment.
“Oh, it was nothing, really,” she answered back.
But, to me, it was everything. I’d wanted to believe that she was real this whole time, regardless of what anyone around me said, and now I knew that it was true. This dream mare I’d fallen for since the first episode of the show was a girl of flesh and blood, physically there in that moment in my presence.
As I thought about the gentle treatment that she’d given me, I was struck with an idea, a way that I could properly show my gratitude towards her. Leaning forward, I softly kissed her on the cheek before pulling away. She looked at me with a playful smile.
“You missed,” she stated.
During my state of confusion as to what she could’ve possibly meant from that, she quickly leaned in and kissed me right on my lips.
My eyes widened and my pulse raced as I could hardly believe what was happening to me in that moment: my beautiful Flutters was actually kissing me! After a few seconds, I finally melted into her kiss, eyes closed as I gently ran my hands along her tender wings in a deep, comforting massage for a bit. Holding her close in my arms, my hands firmly gripping her flanks, I never wanted this moment to end. A moment that was equal parts bliss and heaven in perfect harmony.
But end it did as her lips parted from mine, much to my disappointment. Even with it over, though, I still managed to flash a smile back at her to show that I’d thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. She smiled back in reply.
“There’s my strong stallion,” she finally spoke.
Reaching one hand out, I gently stroked her long silky mane with my fingers as well as gently running them against the side of her face. She closed her own eyes and leaned into my touch, smiling all throughout as the final rays of sunset radiated off of her brilliant, buttery coat.
I begged and pleaded with her not to leave me even as I knew that our time together was running out.
“Oh, silly,” she began, “I’ll never truly leave you. I’ll always be with you where it really matters, inside here.”
She pressed a hoof softly against my chest where my heart was located.
“Whenever you need me again, just call out my name and I’ll be there for you. You are not alone through any of this. I’ll always be there for my number one guy.”
With tears in our eyes and the full moon rising high above us, she finally flew away on her great feathered wings and disappeared into the night sky. Flutters Is Love. Flutters Is Life.
