The Truth Will Set You Free

Previous Chapter

I walked down the path to Ponyville confused as am now and well its time my story ends and you can see where I am.

“Ugh these stupid blisters are a pain in my tail!” I said moving towards a bench along the path. “Maybe a little snooze wouldn’t hurt I guess…” Scott had just left. “I shouldn’t have been so mean to him but still…” Applejack walks in looking around the room.

“Brother I thought you were out in the field?” Applejack said looking at her brother alone in the room.

“Scott left AJ and ah didn’t stop him…” Mac said quietly holding smarty pants in his hooves.

“Mac, why did you let Scott leave?” Applejack said looking into the trash can, pulling out the journal Scott left.

“AJ, he aint normal… Scott… Scott just aint right AJ!!” Mac said tossing smarty pants onto the bed as Applejack read the one page journal.

“Scott has feelin’s for you don’t he? Scott’s a colt cuddler.” Applejack said reading the page even more.

“It aint right AJ pa said so.” Mac said looking down.

“Mac pa is too stuck to his ways that’s what caused him to die in the end and you know it!!” Applejack said glaring at her brother as she walked closer to him.

“Pa didn’t die because of him that damned colt cuddler let go of his hoof that day!!” Mac yelled finally looking up and glaring.

“Mac pa denied that hoof!!! He didn’t want a colt cuddler to touch him and because of that he drowned in that river that day!! I watched him if you can’t remember!!! Ma took me from his hooves and begged him to take his hoof but he didn’t!!” Applejack screamed as tears rolled down her cheeks.

“AJ…” Mac tried to talk in his defense but couldn’t find anything.

“Mac, Scott the poor pony bucked over three quarters of the orchards!!! So what if he has feelings for you!! You should be happy somepony has feelings for you even if he’s the same gender as you!!!” Applejack said furiously wanting to slap her brother but knowing to do so would be pointless.

“AJ… you don’t know how I feel do you?” Mac said crying as he looked at his sister. “I had feelings for him too!!!” Mac broke down slumping to the floor feeling his guilt and pain pour out.

“Mac, why didn’t you tell Scott?” Applejack said picking her brother up from the floor.

“Pa always said that colt cuddlers were the reason why he could never look a stallion in the face if he didn’t know them. He said colt cuddlers would destroy Equestria from the inside out… AJ, ah kept it a secret from Pa because ah like stallions… ah stay on the farm cause if I don’t fall in love with a stallion then I won’t disgrace pa.” Mac said as tears still streamed down his face.

“Mac pa never liked a colt cuddler but didn’t he also say he wants his children to be happy and that’s what made him happy.” Applejack said as she looked her brother in the eye. “Does Scott make you happy? Do you have feelings for Scott?”

“I do have feelin’s for Scott… and when me and him worked in the fields I never felt so happy and when we ate lunch together I felt so happy I wanted to just stay there forever… AJ, What have I done?” Mac looked into Applejacks eyes and begged for an answer he knew only his sister could answer.

“You made a mistake Mac and if you don’t hurry and resolve it you will never fix it.” Applejack wiped his tears away. “Go. Find him and bring him… HOME.” Applejack slapped Macs cutie mark as he raced out of the house running as fast as he could.

Scott was sleeping when all of a sudden he hears a thud and feels something touch him. “Hmmm?” Scott’s eyes opened to see a red pony crying over him feeling his warm tears fall onto Scott’s muzzle.

“Scott… ah’m so sorry for what ah did, ah lied to myself continually and ah lied to you. ah said those things because of a pain ah held inside myself because ah didn’t want to tell you how ah really feel. Ah have feelin’s for you too Scott and ah want you to come home… please? Ah need you please come home…” Mac’s tears fell heavier as he tried to apologize to Scott.

“Really? You r-really need me?” Scott said as his own eyes filled with tears.

“Does Celestia raise the sun?” Mac asked knowing Scott was told the answer.

“Yes she does. Thank you Mac…” Before Scott could say anything else Mac took him in his hooves and kissed him sending euphoria throughout both of them.

“W-will you please be my colt friend?” Mac said as his red fur couldn’t hide the darker blush.

“As long as you never leave me alone Mac, then I will be yours for as long as I’m able.” Scott said as he felt Mac’s embrace tighten sending warmth throughout their bodies.

Later the pair walked up to the house with Applejack sitting on the porch waiting.

“So Mac, what’s the verdict?” Applejack said seeing Scott next to Mac leaning against him slightly from the blisters still on his hooves.

“Sis Scott’s my colt friend and he’s finally home where he belongs.” Mac said chest puffed out and hoof on it making Scott chuckle.

“Yeah and to think I would never find a home… when he was standing here the whole time.” Scotts muzzle pressed into the crook of Mac’s neck as he felt macs hoof around him.

“Well Scott as I see it since your dating mac you can either stay in your room or sleep with mac your choice.” Applejack said grinning dirtily. “So are ya’ll gonna sleep together?”

“Well that is if Mac doesn’t mind Applejack.” Scott said as he kissed Mac on the cheek.

“Always Scott and I’ll never let you go again.” Mac said putting a hoof around Scott leading him into the house.

Soon they had dinner and eventually retired to bed as Scott snuggled next to Mac feeling his warm embrace cuddle him to sleep.
