Roommates [Old Version]

I narrowed my eyes down at the cell phone in my hands, I've had it shut off while I was working with Chrysalis, and so far it has not stopped flaring with that annoying notification beeping. I let out an annoyed sigh, watching as the small little screen on my phone was lit up constantly with messages from all the girls back at SRA. Sure, I've been friends with them for a few weeks, but god damn when did they become my mom? I honestly don't comprehend why they're so worried, sure Chryssie is a bit rough around the edges, but she's easy to warm up to once you know the mare.

I grumbled loudly, furrowing my brow. I cant take this shit anymore! I quickly flipped my phone around, undid the latch on the back of it, and yanked out the battery. I would cross their bullshit river once that time comes, but until then, I have other matters to concern myself with. For instance, this fucking chain-mail is pulling my body hair! I winced softly at the multiple pinches of hair being pulled by cold chain-link under-armor. I seriously can't wait to get out of this outfit, it's hot as fuck in here!

I used my hand to fan myself through the helmet's exposed areas, occasionally standing under the air vents just to cool down my body temperature to a manageable level. It wouldn't be that long until I could leave, I was just waiting for Chrysalis in the chambers she prepared for me during my stay here.

Just in case there's some confusion so far, let me clear things out by explaining the situation. Chrysalis brought me back to her hive to pose as her husband; take a few pictures, videos, enough evidence to get her mother off her back about marriage. I figured they could discuss it like adults, but apparently Chrysalis' mother is the kind of pony who would resort to physical violence if she can't win an argument, so I understand if Chrysalis wanted to use another route to avoid waking the horde.

I knew how my mother got sometimes, when she was still... Well, nevermind. I just rolled my eyes at the antics of the girls back in Ponyville, I knew sure as hell that I was going to get an ear-full from them once I returned. I honestly didn't get the whole conflict between ponies and changelings, and why Chryssie is such a 'bad pony'. I mean, sure when I first met her she was... Well, it's hard to put into words, but I knew for sure she wasn't a happy camper- at least until she started jumping in my pants from time to time. I guess that the only thing she really needed was a companion, and I apparently filled that gap for her.

Let me just say, that my relationship with Chryssie isn't entirely serious. Sure, we may act very 'close', but we both know that our relationship would prove more troubles than either of us could bear. I mean, I was under-aged when me and Chryssie first became... Intimate with one another. Sure, she's a monarch who can bend the rules within the confines of her hive, however, that doesn't mean it would sit right with her own subjects, or many of the civilizations around her. Plus, there was the whole unrest between changelings and ponies, and my sexual relations with Chryssie would only prove to be a disadvantage in the case that our intimacy gets leaked.

All-in-all, if it were a different time, different place, different settings; then perhaps me and Chryssie would have an open relationship, but unfortunately that's not the case, and we both solemnly accept this fact... Although she seems more torn about it than I. Now, regarding the fact that our sexual relationship would have to keep secret from the masses, I knew sure as hell that the girls wouldn't go blabbing their mouths over this kind of business, they would inform Celestia no doubt, but to avoid unrest, Celestia would keep this information secretive as possible.

After contemplating for a few moments, I was suddenly stirred by the abrupt opening of the chamber's doors. I saw Chryssie canter in with a happy expression on her face, smiling ear to ear. I couldn't help but give a confused yet sincere smile back, standing from my seated position on the edge of the bed, standing a few inches above her chest level, meeting my eyes with hers.

"So?" I inquired, allowing the mare to give me an affectionate peck on the lips.

"Well, I sent the pictures, videos, and so on all to my mother via teleportation, and it seems to me that she's satisfied!" Chrysalis chirruped, embracing me closely, involuntarily stuffing my face between her breasts... Or so I think.

"I'm glad to hear, I haven't heard much of your mother, but I know for damn well not to provoke a mother's scorn" I chuckled, giving her a firm squeeze before releasing her from the embrace.

"Yes, it's just unfortunate that you can't stay here longer" Chryssie spoke with a playful pout, walking over and laying on the bed with me, staring blankly up at the ceiling along with me as we spoke.

"Well, you know, you could send me invites whenever you feel lonely" I spoke, smiling over at her.

"I'll take you up on that offer~" she chuckled, returning a smile of her own.

"Say, I heard of the incident at Bedrock Bay, you doing alright? How's your nose?" Chrysalis asked, feeling my face gently.

"It's healed up well, I managed to break it back in place before I got to the hospital" I chortled softly, grinning at Chryssie's fondling of my face.

"I heard you fought against a minotaur, and against multiple other trained bodyguards that belonged to Prince Blueballs, I even heard that you gave him a small thrashing too?" Chrysalis chuckled, sounding quite pleased with my past antics.

"Royalty or not, I could give a fuck less; fuck with me, my friends, or anyone- or anypony, that I care and love- my wrath will not be too far away" I stated with a gentle sigh, running my fingers through Chryssie's blue-ish green hair.

"That's what I love about you~" Chrysalis chirped, snuggling closer to my chest.

For the longest while, me and Chrysalis talked and cuddled with each other, spending as much time as possible before my departure to the small train station that she was able to establish a while ago that connected to the small train route that stretched from Canterlot, to Ponyville, and straight to Ricksford village. We continued to lay there for the longest while, that is until Chrysalis recieved word that the train had arrived at the station. Me and Chrysalis shared our fair amount of X's and O's before finally departing.

I had a strange feeling when I boarded, it was incredibly silent, aside from the small fair-well party that Chrysalis, along with many of her guards were throwing at the station while the train left. I had the feeling that the guards had no other choice, either way it gave me warm feelings. I made sure Chrysalis and her array of guards saw the look of satisfaction on my face as I waved them goodbye out the small window by my booth. I then leaned back into my cushioned seat, letting out a sigh.

"That was a hand full..." I chuckled softly, smiling as I stared into nothingness.

It was hours later when I awoke from a brief nap when I realized something odd, nobody- nopony- was seated in any other booths other than the occasional staff member that would come by, offer me a few things then return to their duties elsewhere. Perhaps Chrysalis made sure I had my own personal train cart? I wasn't sure either way, but that's just what I assumed. After a while of utter silence, I became oddly paranoid, the reason: silence, pure deafening silence, other than the sound of the train moving along the tracks. If there were other passengers on this train, I would at least here muffled chatter of some sort... But I heard no such thing.

Needless to say, my curiosity got the better of me, and I immediately rose from my booth. I glanced around, becoming more and more unsettled the longer I soaked in the eerie silence. I shook my head clear, and moved my way towards the door that opened into another train car. However, when I noticed voices speaking behind the door, I slowly eased off to the side of the door frame so I couldn't be seen through the door's window, listening carefully to the muffled voices.

"I'm not sure about this, Rain Drop..." one human male spoke, his voice seemed very nervous.

"Listen to me Stewart, if we pull through with this, then we'll be paid enough to move on and settle down. Besides, Blueblood had given the bandits strict instructions not to harm staff, including us" the alleged Rain Drop replied, "Plus, you'll have more than enough money to pay for our daughter's treatment, just remember that" Rain Drop added, giving Stewart a kiss on the lips.

It wasn't too abnormal for human and pony crossbreeding. The human-pony offspring often resembled a normal pony only with more human features than average ponies, such as a shorter muzzle, canine teeth, and a lot more agility than both humans and ponies- considering human abilities spliced with pony abilities adds together to make quite the interesting specimen; however, that wasn't really important at the moment... What was important, is that something was completely off- the mentioning of bandits obviously threw up a variety of red flags, the mentioning of Blueballs made every single flag I could muster shoot up faster than a straight man sobering up after realizing he's in a gay bar.

I quickly backed away, unsure of what to do right now, my mind was racing. But before long, my thoughts were interrupted when the train came to a sudden screeching halt, nearly throwing me to the floor. I quickly regained my footing, and shot my face to the nearest window. I peered outside, and my blood nearly froze when I processed what I saw.

There was about thirty or more bandits, armed to the teeth with impressive high-grade weaponry, approaching the train with their weapons aimed directly at us...
