Tears of a God

When Fluttershy woke up the next day, she found Discord still fast asleep. Oddly enough he was on the ceiling, though she shouldn't have been surprised after yesterday. She thought she would go for a stroll. She was walking on the edge of the Everfree Forest when she thought of her empty vase at her cottage. She trotted over to a patch of flowers and started to pluck a few when she heard a growl. "What's that soun- Eek!" She screamed as a creature slapped her and she hit a nearby tree. When she got back up, she saw what had hit her.

Discord woke to a high pitched scream. He raced out the door to see what had happened. He saw Fluttershy on she ground whimpering. He turned in the direction of the attacker and saw a hungry Timber Wolf biting her wing. "Don't you dare touch her!" He growled. He tore at it breaking twigs and branches. The Timber Wolf was gone in a minute. All that was left were some leaves and wood chips. "T-thank you, Discord!"

"Fluttershy!"

"I-I'm fine." She lied.

"No your not!" He said as he conjured some bandages. "Why did it attack you?"

"I'm not sure... I was looking for some flowers for my vase at home and it, well attacked!" Discord thought about this. "Okay my turn. Why did you save me?" The draconequus didn't answer. He put Fluttershy on his back and flew to her cottage. The yellow Pegasus looked at her hooves. "Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome." He clapped his hands over his mouth. What are you thinking?! He thought When have you ever liked somepony?

It had been a month since the Timberwolf incident. Fluttershy and Discord started to like each other more and more. Fluttershy had told her friends who she was housing and to her relief, the Princesses didn't make a big fuss about it. "Fluttershy, I um..." He gulped. "Would you - er - go out... with me?" She looked down.

"Um... Well... I..." She whispered, rocking back and forth. "I... Well... When?"

"When ever you're alright with it." She bit her lip. "Is there something the matter?" He asked.

"Well... Um... Yes." She sighed. "Do you really mean it? You're not going to trick me?"

"Of course not! Why would you think that?"

"Well when I was around fourteen... One pony asked me out... And, well... When we met... He said that I...was stupid to think that he would really like to go out with me..."

"That was wrong of him! Why- " She put a hoof to his mouth.

"It's okay. I don't think you're lying..." She said. "I... Yes I will go out with you."

"R-really?"

"Yes." She smiled. He smiled back and started to comb her hair with his fingers.

"You know... I love you... I'm embarrassed to say it but... I do."

"Me too. I love you too."
