This was it. The moment you have been waiting to man up for.You adjust your tie one last time, glancing quickly in the mirror
You were going to do it today.
You were going to tell Fluttershy how you felt; and hope to every god that she returned those feelings; the feelings of safety, warmth. Whenever you were alone with her, you just felt... Better.
Lost in thought, you just think of how she might react. Knowing that this was Fluttershy, it wouldn't ever be violent. Shaking your head, you brush the thoughts aside. As you walked up to her in the movie theater lobby, you mentally prepared your little love speech.
You decided on a little surprise:
First, you'd tell her that you've wanted to say this for a while.
Then, pull her into a hug
And for the cherry on top, you'd tell her how much you liked her.
The plan was watertight.
You're standing right next to her. Alright. Do it now!
No, wait. She's on her phone.
A true gentleman like yourself would wait for m'lady to finish a call
"Yes, Dash. I'm at Cinetopia.... No, I'm not alone..... oh, Anon invited me to come with him! I just couldn't say no.. I might have hurt his feelings or someing... Plus, I really want to see this movie..." This talk was taking a while. Who was she talking to? Dash?
Oh, right. Rainbow Dash. She's capitan of every team. A tad too muscly for your tastes.
"Well, of course I fed my animals! Yes, Dashie, everything is fine. Bye... I-i mean if you think that's okay.. oh you do? Thanks, Dashie."
She hangs up the phone.
At last! Now, Anonymous! Strike! As you lean in and take a sharp breath, Fluttershy interrupts you
"I'm so so so sorry about that, Anon. It's just well.." She Shuffles her feet slightly. Man, that's cute.
"It's just that she can be a little overprotective of me sometimes. I mean, I know we're a couple, but...." The rest of the words don't reach your ears; You're too busy feeling with a simultaneous pain and pressure in your chest, too busy fighting back the lump in your throat
Without even thinking, you push her out of the way, storming away.
"A-anon? What's wrong? Did I do something? Oh no..."
Charging through the glass doors, you keep walking. You don't even care where you're going. Eventually, you find yourself at the far end of the parking lot, where you parked your motorbike. Putting both hands on the seat, you check them in anger
"DAMMIT! Dammit, dammit, dammit!"
You pound both hands on your bike, causing it to shake
"The one chance I had.... and it's been ruined from the start."
You lean back, only to get mad again and punch your bike again.
"And to think that Fluttershy of all people would be single... screw it. These last few months spent trying to get to know her... getting her friendship... all to end in a failure" You try to swing at your bike again, but you miss, sending you stumbling away. Standing up, you walk back to the bike.
You look up to the starry sky, and let out a breath.
"Heh. Guess I wasn't just stupid enough to fall for the girl, I was stupid enough to try to and ask her out. I am so dumb."
Even though you said these words calmly, your said them loud. Much louder than the feathery footsteps of the girl you adored. Loud enough for her to hear. But she'd be hearing more.
"How could I have possibly thought that she would even like me? She's way out of my league, not to mention she barely knows anything about me. She possibly thinks I'm a loser."
You sigh and lower your head in disappointment. Tears had already found a path down your cheeks, dripping onto your suit and the asphalt. You continued to rant, demeaning yourself. The only things you heard were coming from your own mouth. You didn't hear the girl you adored walk up to you, nor the near-silent sobbing. You didn't hear the clicking of her high heels.
But you felt her hand on your shoulder.
You turned around, a cocktail of anger and regret splashed on your face.
"Oh Anonymous..." she said with a pang of guilt. She moves her hand up to your cheek, locking her bright blue eyes onto yours.
"All those things you just said about yourself...."
A fresh wave of blood finds it way to your cheeks
"Y-you heard all of that?"
She nods her head in affirmation, moving her thumb across your face to wipe away some tears
"You didn't bring me here just to watch a movie, did you?"
Silently, you nod your head; she takes this in stride and leans in closer to you.
"Was there something you wanted to tell me?"
You can't look into those eyes and lie.
"Yes, Fluttershy. I-I've been meaning to tell you this for months now..."
Drawing in a sharp breath once again, you prepare yourself for the imminent heartbreak. But gazing into those eyes.... It'd be worth telling her.
"I've had feelings for you. For a long time, but I've never really had the motivation to tell you"
You put a hand on her shoulder, pulling her close.
"A-and today, I finally had the courage to tell you. But I guess I was to late..."
You remove your hand and begin to mount your bike; but you feel a pull on your collar.
"Anonymous... Rainbow dash and I... we're not really a couple"
Your ears perk up at this news
"W-what? But you said..."
"Dashie and I agreed that it could be an open relationship... So I can be with anyone I want"
Dismounting your bike, you face her again.
"You mean that-"
Your words are cut off by the feeling of lips pressed against yours; the over whelming sensation of her arms wrapped around your neck. You didn't fight it in the least. You arms moved to her back, pulling her as close as possible. After what seemed like an eternity, she disconnects, leaving a bridge of saliva between you.
A bright red has filled both of your faces
"Oh my gosh! I'm so so so sorry! Was that okay to do? Oh..."
You put a finger under her chin, tilting her head up
"It was fine"
She looks into your eyes again
"So does this mean... That we're.. uhm.."
You don't need her to finish that sentence to know what it's about
"Yes, Fluttershy. Yes it does"
She relaxes a bit at hearing that, moving close to you for one last hug.
You hold each other for minutes; you're still taking in all the changes this past hour had brought.
"H-hey Anon?" Fluttershy peeps from within your arms
"Hmm? what is it?"
"Do you think we could still catch the movie?"
Glancing at your watch, you see that the movie starts in fifteen minutes
"Yeah. We can do that"
Walking towards the building, hand in hand, that you so recently stormed out of in pure anger, you took in a deep breath.
Today had been a good day.
Maybe the best.
