Eyes for the Blind
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterI walked beside my coltfrend, between Ren and North Wing. “So, where do you want to eat North?” Ren asked the filly. She hummed while thinking,
“Hmm…. How about… the Ponyville Café?” I nodded.
“Sure! I’m paying, right?” I asked, eliciting a laugh from Ren,
“If you want dear, I’ve got it if you don’t want to.” I nodded again, confirming that I was paying. “So, how’d the book signing go North?”
“It went pretty well, there was a bit of confusion… but otherwise we both really liked it!” I chuckled,
“Yeah, we both did, Rainbow Dash seemed surprised by my disability…. And it also caused some problems in line, but nothing too bad, just the usual.”
I heard a grunt of approval from the birdkeeping stallion. “That’s good, shame about the commotion though.”
“Turn,” North Wing said, Ren and I turned, “Stop.” We stopped, now in line.
“So, what are you gonna get?” I asked both ponies,
“Hmm… probably just some tea, I’m not hungry.” Ren replied, and I nodded, “I’ll get a daisy sandwich.” North Wing added, pushing between me and my coltfriend.
I sighed, and took my wing off of Renwood, allowing her to stand between us. “Why don’t you like mares Sunset? My daddy says that loving other stallions is a sin.” She asked nonchalantly.
“Well, you see, your daddy is an uneduca-“ I cut Ren off.
“Not here Ren.” I said as Renwood grumbled. “Well you see Northy, I love Renwood just like your daddy loves your mom, the only difference is that Ren’s a stallion.”
She thought about it for a moment, “But… two stallions can’t have a foal…” She “said curiously,
“No… but we still love each other, and when we get to that point, we’ll adopt a foal.” Renwood explained, with me nodding as the line progressed. “Also, the sex is great.” He added, and I stopped nodding abruptly.
“Renwood!” I exclaimed, my face heating up. “Northy doesn’t need to know about our habits in the bedroom…” I chuckled, my mind going towards the figurative gutter. After a brief fantasy, my focus returned to reality.
In about 5 minutes we had been seated and our orders were being taken.
“I’ll have… the HLT…” (Hay Lettuce Tomato) I told the waiter who read the menu to Ren and me. I heard him scribble something down on a scratchy note pad, he then asked North Wing, “And what would you like young ma’am?”
“Uh… um… daisy sandwich… and… uh… hay fries!” She responded, with pauses between each word. I heard the pen on the waiter’s pad again and then I heard him walk away, obviously frustrated at how long it took to take our orders.
“So… my daddy’s coming home for a month soon.” North Wing said, causing me to perk my ears up, “Oh, Really? When?”
“In two days! I can’t wait to show him you and Ren!” I smiled and nodded, “I can’t wait to meet him Northy! What’s he do again?”
She laughed, “Sunset, I’ve told you twice already, he’s an executive for some company, he’s usually away on business trips.” I nodded,
“Okay… okay… well, I’m sure Ren and I will love him!” Soon after, our food arrived and the conversation died down for the most part, save for awkward small talk every now and again.
Ren put a leg around my neck and leaned on me as I ate, nuzzling me slightly. “Thanks Sunset…” He gave me a short, tight hug and I smiled, and then nodded in gratitude. I finished my sandwich, “You done North Wing?” I asked the filly, who I could hear slurping up some of her drink through a straw.
The slurping stopped, and I heard her burp quietly, “Y-yes…” I could practically hear her blushing. The pony next to me let go, and I felt him stand up. I followed suit, and heard North Wing also stand.
We were guided to the cash register by a waiter, who then proceeded to charge me 60 bits for the entire meal.
“Sixty bits!? Last time it was only 45!” I exclaimed, and heard him chuckle. “Yeah, well we raised the price, okay?” I opened my mouth to try and argue, but Ren put a hoof on my back.
“Okay, okay, calm down Sunset… here, I’ll pay.” He sighed and I heard the jingle of his coin purse then several bits bouncing on the desk. “Keep the change.” He said, and lead me away from the desk, out the entrance of the café.
The rest of the day was uneventful, we went to the park, and took North Wing to a play that Ren and I loved listening to, a musical. He was snuggling me the entire time, and I enjoyed it, falling asleep once. After the play we headed to North Wing’s home, upon arriving, we heard her gasp.
“DADDY’S HOME!” Her hoofsteps made a loud din as she charged up the stone path and into the house. Ren and I followed, holding each other lovingly.
When we entered the home, we were introduced to a sudden silence, nopony spoke until we heard a new voice, probably belonging to North Wing’s father.
“So… this is the babysitter I’ve heard so much about?” I nodded slowly, his tone sounded mildly hateful. “I wasn’t aware he was… one of them.” He put emphasis on the word ‘them’.
“What do you mean by ‘them’?” Ren asked cautiously, “By the way, you can stop glaring, we’re both blind.” I nodded in agreement, feeling his knife like glare subside.
“By ‘them’ I mean a colt cuddler. Get out of my house, I don’t want you anywhere near my daughter, you filthy perverts.”
Both Renwood and I were taken aback, but I felt him nod, and begin to turn. My mouth was open, and I was unable to form words. “C’mon Sunset…” I turned and followed Renwood solemnly “Bye Northy…” I sighed and walked through the door.
That night Ren and I were laying in bed, snuggling with each other. “I… I can’t believe what happened… I knew that Star Gust’s husband didn’t like colt cuddlers… but… I didn’t know it was that bad… never foalsit North Wing? I don’t know if I can do it…” Ren kissed me and petted my mane.
“Don’t worry Sunset, it’ll be alright… we’ll be fine…” He comforted me gently, and I sighed, falling asleep with him hugging me and petting my mane.
