Author's Note

Mike- I've got the worst fucking sinus headache from allergies. I wanted to have this out on Monday, looks like I let that self imposed deadline fall flat on its face. Also, TheSpookyWriter, I was totally serious about you doing the clop for this. Send it and I'll upload it.

For those that don't know, I'm Mike, doing some ghost writing for Hatt while the heat slowly turns him golden-brown with an internal temp of 145.

Clothes

“Jamie? I need some help.” Red called from the bedroom.

“Yeah? What’cha need help with?” I called back from my comfy chair, the springs groaned loudly as I leaned back to peek towards the hall.

“Just getting rid of some things, I need your opinion.” I heard clothes hitting the floor in heaps. “Besides, you see it more than me..”

“Why are you throwing out clothes?” I stood from the chair and walked down the hall towards the bedroom. New pictures were being hung and it was rather nicely decorated since Red moved in. “I thought clothes were your thing, right?.”

Red scoffed loudly. “No, besides a lot of my stuff is kinda baggy in...well, I need to get better fitting stuff either way.” Red said, now in the back of the closet. “I just want to get rid of some of these old things. Be fresh, you get it right?” Red had a slight waver in her voice.

I peeked into the room and spotted piles of frilly clothes and stockings. “Uh huh. Red, you ok?” I walked into the bedroom, and stood at the closet doors.

“Jamie, I jus--” Red cut herself off with a whimper, her head popped out past the threshold to the closet. Her muzzle was scrunched up and her eyes were slightly glassy. “I don’t want to throw out anything you might like.”

I ducked down and gently pulled her close. “Red, what’s wrong?” I ran my fingers through her mane and scratched along the bottom of her ear.

“I used to cover my--well--”

“Your dick….” I cleared my throat

Red scrunched her muzzle up and leaned her head back out of my hands. She put a hoof on my chest and stepped back into the closet, hiding herself behind the doors. “You didn’t have to say it like that. But yeah. And now...well, there’s not as much to hide, so I figured I’d try something new.”

Like where do you go from this? That’s it, mystery solved. Have to play with it.

I slid my hands into my pockets and stood up. “Are you okay though?”

Red grimaced and hid her mouth behind the closet doors. “I mean it’s not like--” She hopped out of the closet on two hooves and held her forelegs in the air. “Tada!” She dropped down and smushed her face against my stomach. “It’s a lot of stuff to do, things changed...I kinda just want different things.

“We can get some different clothes then.” I knelt down again, slipping my hands under Red’s barrel, lifting her up and towards the bed. “Have you thought about what kind of clothes you wanted to get?”

I reached the bed with Red tightly held to my chest. “Have you thought about just not wearing clothes?” I layed Red and myself on the bed. “Might be easier to just skip the clothes all together.”

“Well, I guess.” Red shifted herself to lay on her back, pressed against my side. “After wearing them to hide my… extra bits, I guess I just got used to wearing clothes all the time.”

“It’s ok to like wearing clothes. I didn’t honestly think that you’d stop wearing clothes.” I turned myself to face read, running my hand across her stomach in a slow petting motion. “would you like it, if we went and bought some new clothes together then?”

Red turned to me, a smile on her face. “I’d like that Jamie. Can we go tomorrow? Its getting late and I’d rather stay in for the night.”

“That’s fine by me Red.” I moved closer to Red kissing her lightly on the lips. “We can stay in and we’ll have a nice dinner and watch a movie or something after.”

Red face lit up. “Oh, can we watch that one movie about the soldiers who were looking for the other soldier? Randy or Ryan, something like that?” Red finished with a pout.

“Saving Private Ryan, and yes, we can watch it.” I slid of the side and stood from the bed. “Really good movie, I just wish that Upham wasn’t such a little bitch in the movie.”

Red followed suit and stood from the bed as I walked into the hallway. “Oh, but Upham was such a sweetheart in the movie, and that bad-ass bit at the end where he shot the one guy was awesome!” Red said adding a hoof pump at the end

“Doesn’t make up for his mistake in letting that bastard kill his friend.” I stepped into the kitchen and began pulling ingredients for a pizza.

Red trotted up behind me, wrapping her hooves around my waist and pressing her head into the small of my back. “Thanks for listening Jamie.”

“It’s no problem red.” I turned to face Red and lifted her up into a full hug. “You can always talk to me.”
