Ties that Bind

"A-Anon? Can I talk to you? Its really important..." "its about my grades... If I can't raise my mark high enough to pass this semester, m-my parents won't let me help out at the animal shelter. she wipes away a tear. "Please Anon? I-I mean, if you're able to, of course..." "Twilight is already busy with her own studies, and since you're the second highest marked in class..."

"Sure Fluttershy, meet me at the front gate after school" continue going about your day. sleep through most classes teachers don't mind because they know you know everything they're teaching only reason twilight is above you is because you don't do homework

Final bell rings hurry up towards the front gate you've kept your autism in check since coming to this school you now know that fedoras are verboten, as are trench coats you stick with jeans and plain t-shirts You keep your hair short, you used to have it in a ponytail

You look around and try to see Fluttershy. nowhere to be found hear a commotion

"clumsy bitch!"

"someone get this hippie out of here!"

"oh hell no!" you run towards the commotion a circle of teens in laughing and pointing at a crying Fluttershy. she had been in a hurry to see you and tripped her backpack had ripped and her failing papers were strewn about for everyone to see

"wow, not only is she clumsy, she's retarded as well!"

"She can't even pass English? She SPEAKS English Bobby!"

You had heard enough

"Hey, leave her alone" they didn't hear you or they ignored you either way you got mad REAL MAD

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" they stop they look at you

"outta my way!" you push people out of the way one assholes steps in front of you jock asshole you push him down and help Fluttershy up you pick up all her papers and put them into your backpack

the kids are silent the jock is pissed

you tell him to fuck off just as a teacher shows up the kids run, and Fluttershy continues crying.

"Anon, what happened here?

"Fluttershy tripped, and I'm just helping her up"

"I know that's not all Anon"

"I have things to do, if you want to give me detention then do it later, Fluttershy needs to go home."

The teacher narrows her eyes she starts to say something but you walk off holding fluttershy up.

"Get back here young man! we need to call her parents!"

you get Fluttershy to your car, she's stopped crying.

"t-thank you" she's still upset. you open the door for her [M'lady's internally] she smiles and sits down you walk around and get in the drivers seat you pull some napkins out of the glove compartment and hand them to her. she starts wiping her eyes

"Did you want me to drive you home?" she's quiet for a moment she asks softly;

"did you still want to help me?" it was almost a whisper

"of course I do Fluttershy, but I don't want you to be upset where you're not comfortable."

"Thank you, but... I'm ok." you start up the car try and make the midnight show

"Get up, everybody gonna move ya-" you click off the radio

"Sorry about that" She smiles

"I like that song" you click it back on

That reminds you it was Friday

"Fuck yeah friday." you mumble to yourself Fluttershy giggles she must have heard you

you pull out of the parking lot it was a left turn to your house but a right turn would let you go get some food

"Are you hungry?" She nods you make a right turn and go towards the shopping district there are plenty of places to eat at.

"How about a pizza?" She smiles That's a yes to you you pull into the parking lot of a local pizzeria They know you here You and your family been coming here for years as you walk in the owner waves

"Hullo anon! will it be the usu-" He sees the pink haired girl practically hiding behind you The man's sudden outburst frightened her

"Sorry lassie didn't mean to scare ye" You just realized you couldn't figure out his ethnicity

"it's not often I get pretty ladies in here, what's the occasion Anon?" you shake your head

"I'm helping her study"

"ah I see, yer a nice one Anon, so I figure you're gonna have half a pizza the usual, but would your friend want n'y thing special?" you look back at Fluttershy she wants a supreme with no meat your daydream ends Fluttershy had finished ordering you give the owner the money As you wait, Fluttershy goes to the restroom

"Aye, she's a cute one right there" you nod

"She's real nice too"

"She's a great catch, good job Anon" your cheeks go red

"what!?" He laughs his foreign laugh The pizza is finished Fluttershy comes out of the restroom she thanks the owner and walks outside as you walk out with he pizza you stop and ask the owner;

"Hey, where did you grow up?" he chuckles

"Far Far Away"

Back in your car Fluttershy has the pizza on her lap it's 3pm

"What time do you need to be home?"

"my aunt will be working late tonight, I need to have my chores done before she comes home"

"So 8 will be good?" She smiles and nods You drive towards your house she closes her eyes

you take this chance to get a closer look at her you always respected that she was shy so you never looked at her this closely A petite build, if you didn't know better you would think she was anorexic you wanted to touch her skin it looked so soft

a horn honked behind you the light had turned green and you abandoned the quest and drove all  the way home without looking at her.

you make it to your house Coming back to an empty apartment always bummed you out. You mom was living with someone else your dad was long gone his pension was all sent to you you were comfortable, but lonely.

You invite her in realize that your room was trashed She walks in and looks all around video game posters and airbrush paintings lined the walls. sometimes you felt bad about spending the pension money on games then games helped you ignore that bad feeling you were fucked if the pension ran out

"I like your house"

"thank you" your dog comes running out of your room it's the first time she's seen another  erson in your house Fluttershy squees and puts the pizza on the coffee table

your dog was half pit bull and half chocolate lab she was really friendly too Fluttershy pets the dog and you get her papers out from your backpack

"so what did you want to start on first?" She makes a grimace

7:45 pm

she had made some real progress you gave her your emergency backpack a backup backpack she puts her papers in it

you drive her home As you drive up to her house you see the color drain from her face a single car was parked in the driveway her aunt

"A-anon... you said it was Friday... right?" check phone

Thursday

fuck

The aunt was waiting at the door  arms folded

Fluttershy couldn't move you consider driving off She could live with you you'd be a happy couple then you'd be a kidnapper

you step out of the car walk around and open the door for Fluttershy you put your hand out for her to grab she gets the courage to stand up she had taken your hand Then she started to cry She looked backwards and said goodbye she let go of your hand

come on baby don't fear the-

"you little SLUT!" the aunt is screaming you cringe Fluttershy continues walking you just stand there while she walks

there was nothing you could do
