Sit Down for a Story

You wanna hear a story, huh? A romantic one… with sex? The weirdest one ah got? Erm, well, I don’t normally talk about this sorta stuff with anypony, especially near strangers like yourselves. Ah guess this is one that’d be good to get off my chest though. It’s actually all about getting something off my chest. It turned out alright when ah did it then, so I guess it’ll be okay now. Uhhm, give me just a minute, ah ain’t used to telling stories all that much, especially something like this.

Alright, ah’m a guessin’ the best place to start would be the day ah was packin’ a few things for my trip, my big adventure as ah’ve taken to callin’ it. Now, travelin’ to Ponyville to see my family and such is a pretty normal thing for me. This certainly wasn’t the first time ah’d been down, and certainly wasn’t the last neither. Ah considered this here adventure a bit grander because one reason, and one reason only. Ah was gonna try’in re-connect with my cousin, Big Mac. We’d been friends when we were little colts, but as time drew on, we sorta drifted apart. Ah was never able to get him talkin’ like we had when ah was a little one. Ah knew it was gonna be tough, but ah was downright determined to do it this trip. That’s why my trip was gonna be a big one. You’re wonderin’ where the romance and sex comes in on this one? Ya think ah’ll probably meet a handsome stallion along the way? Well, you’re just gonna have to wait and see.

As ah was stuffin’ a few things into my saddle bags which ah noticed were startin’ to get worn down, ah couldn’t help but get all excited about seein’ Applejack and Mac and even ol’ Miss Smith. That, and ah was itchin’ for a change of scenery. The dried up seas of grass and rocky, desert cliffs of Appleloosa are alright, but they start to get old after a while, especially when everything is bakin’ in the midsummer heat. Ah was more than ready to see some nice green hills for once and especially some big ol’ mountains and flowers and forests and such. Even better was the change of faces. Seein’ the same people each and every day gets tired after a while too, especially in such a small town like Appleloosa. Ah was ready to see new faces and those familiar ones of my kin… especially Big Mac’s.

After packin’ up what little ah had, ah put my hat on my head, strapped on my saddle bags, and was out the door. Ah made it to the train station a little early, and was pretty disappointed when ah did. It was another arid day and the sun was beamin’ down on me like the heat inside an oven. Even sittin’ under the shade of the awning was hotter than the depths of Tartarus. Ah eventually stood up from the bench ah was restin’ on because sittin’ was almost hotter than standin’. Ah tapped my hoof impatiently on the wooden deck beneath it, and even started pacin’ back and forth before the train finally came chuggin’ in. It’s whistlin’ greeting rang through my heart givin’ me a rush of excitement beyond what ah was already feelin’. Energy surged through legs as ah watched the dark gray coal smoke barrel out from its chimney. Something that seemed much more beautiful than usual. It was hard to wait for even just the few passengers that were on the train to get off. I was rip-roaring and ready to go! My hooves were clackin’ away as ah hopped giddly on over to the train.

Ah showed the conductor my ticket and settled myself into a seat as quickly as ah could, like he was a waitin’ for me and the train would leave the moment my backside touched down. That wasn’t the case, a’course. While ah was waitin’ for the train to get a move on, ah started to figure ah could catch some shut eye on the ride over, so ah’d be all energized when ah arrived. Once things did finally get rollin’, well, ah was much too riled up to even relax. All ah could think about was Big Mac… and the others too, but mostly Big Mac. Ah was thinkin’ about the best course of action to take on catching up with him and rebuilding our relationship, maybe even stronger than it was way back when. Luckily for me, there wasn’t many passengers heading to Ponyville, so ah could do a lot more thinkin’ instead of talkin’. Ah figured my eyes needed somethin’ interesting to look at while my mind was busy workin’, so ah turned my gaze out the window, even rested my forehead on the cool pane every once and a while. Slowly but surely, desert turned to beautiful, rollin’ hills that got greener and greener the closer we came to the mountains. Eventually, the hills gave way to rockier, mountainous terrain, and then we reached the beautiful valleys that surround Ponyville. Ah was more than pleased to see the straw covered tops of Ponyville’s many quaint cottages, and the large spire of the town hall at their center.

Ah was growin’ all anxious to get off the train and to Sweet Apple Acres. Ah’d finally gotten my plan for Mac all figured out and ready to be put into action. Since the big guy worked all the time, ah figured ah’d just tag along with him and help out. Ah was takin’ what ah considered a vacation at the time, but that didn’t mean ah couldn’t be nice and thank my gracious hosts for their hospitality. That, and the only way to actually spend time with anypony in the Apple family was to work with’em. We’re the type that never really stops. The problem was just gettin’ him to accept the help. We Apples are also pretty stubborn folk.

My body was sore as ah stood up from the old bench. It was cushioned and all, but sittin’ there for as long as ah did really got to me. Along with that, ah was feelin’ a little woozy and out of it. Ah knew ah shoulda caught a few hours of shut eye, but a’course ah didn’t. Ah gave the conductor a quick nod of thanks before steppin’ off and was greeted by a few wide, welcomin’, Apple family grins. “Howdy there, gals, ah didn’t know you’d be waitin’ for me,” ah said with a wave, squintin’ in the strong afternoon sunshine to see each of the Apple filly’s faces. Granny Smith looked as ancient as ever, but happy and in good health. Apple Bloom was getting’ older, ah could tell, but still no cutie mark on her flank. Then there was my cousin, AJ, lookin’ gorgeous like always but a little tuckered out from a day on the farm. There was no Big Mac in sight though.

“Howdy there, Braeburn,” Applejack greeted as she trotted over and gave me a big ol’ hug.

“Hey cuz,” I muttered, squeezin’ her back just as tight.

“Brae!” Apple Bloom yelped happily as she came over and gave my leg a hug as strong as AJ’s.

“Where’s all your luggage?” AJ asked as she pulled away, giving me a pat on the back.

“Ah got all ah need right here,” I said, noddin’ to my saddlebags.

“Packin’ only the necessities, huh? Like any good Apple should,” she said, given’ me a wink with those deep green eyes of hers.

“And howdy to you too, Granny,” ah said to Granny Smith, givin’ her a kiss on the cheek.

“Hello, dearie,” she said with a grin.

“Now where’s, Big Mac?” ah asked as ah pulled away, given’ each of them a look.

“He’s just out workin’ as always,” AJ said, givin’ me a shrug. “Dunno when he’ll finish up, but he’ll be back by dinner, ah’m sure.

“How are ya?” Apple Bloom asked as we turned and started makin’ our way to the farm.

“Ah’m doin’ just fine… but pretty darn tired even though all ah did today was sit,” ah admitted.

“Well, after dinner you can settle in early if you’d like,” Applejack said kindly. The thought of a comfy bed and some warm covers sure did seem like a lovely prospect.

“Now that sounds mighty fine,” ah said with a nod. It was nice to see the many lively and friendly ponies of Ponyville wanderin’ around the town again. It was even nicer sayin’ sayin’ howdy to each and every one of’em too. It wasn’t long before we got to the outskirts of town though, wasn’t much life at all there. So ah got to thinkin’ again, and then talkin’. Ah turned to Applejack, “Ya think Mac might want some help?”

“Nah,” she said with a short shake of her head. “He’ll be fine, and besides, ya need to rest up don’tcha?”

“Yeah, true enough,” ah said with a sigh. “Speakin’ of helpin’ out, ah figured ah could do a little of that while ah’m here.”

“Ah’d never turn down another Apple’s help, but don’t be silly, cuz,” AJ said, shakin’ her head. “You’re takin’ a vacation. You don’t need to be workin’.”

“It’s not really that, ah just wanna spend some time with Mac and you is all, and since you’re out workin’ all day, ah won’t have much.”

“True, true, makes enough sense ta me,” Appplejack said with a nod this time.

“Or ya could spend time with me. Ah’ll be around the house for most of the day, ya know?” Granny Smith told me with the sweetest of smiles. Ah had to let her down gently.

“Well, Granny, ah wanted to spend time with everypony, includin’ you, and as for Big Mac, well ah hardly ever get to talk to him anymore.”

“Hmpf, suit yourself,” she said with a huff.

***

Well, ah guess ah should skip ahead to the more important stuff, huh? We didn’t really talk much after that anyways. Ah had helped the Apple fillies as much as ah could while they started preparing for dinner, but for the most part, they seemed to be handlin’ it well enough on their own. Ah sorta felt like ah had become more of a nuisance than anything. So ah ended up sittin’ back and watchin’ after settin’ the table. The evenin’ light was dying away as Celestia began lowering the sun behind the hills. Instead of gettin’ settled in, my worries were risin’. Big Mac still hadn’t showed up. Ah hadn’t even gotten to give him a nice friendly hello yet. What was he doin’ out there that was takin’ him so long?

Ah stepped out onto to the porch for a moment, not only to get some fresh air for my exhausted mind but to see if ah could spot Mac out in the distance. On the horizon were shadowed hills met with the cultivated fields and pink skies fading to purple above’em. Besides that, there was nothin’. That colt was nowhere to be found. Ah stood there a moment longer, hopin’ to catch sight of him. All was silent besides the chirpin’ of happy crickets and a slight breeze wistlin’ through the fields.

As ah gave up and headed back inside, ah was greeted by the pleasantest of smells: apples, cinnamon, and sugar. It’d been there the whole time, but ah must’ve grown used to it. Well, ah wasn’t anymore, and my stomach was growlin’ fiercer than a pampered cat who missed a meal. We sat down to what ah would consider a banquet of wonderful home cooked dishes. The talkin’ was the usual family discussion about each other’s day and what they were planning on workin’ on the next. There wasn’t even the slightest mention of Big Mac’s absence. Ah would like to tell ya ah was too worried to even eat, but ah couldn’t resist food made by Granny and AJ. They were some of the best cooks around. Besides, not eatin’ was impolite. As it says in the name, that down home comfort food was certainly doin’ the trick of comfortin’. Wasn’t long before Big Mac finally did show up. Lemme tell ya, when ah heard that door openin’ up, my heart was jumpin’ faster than a jack rabbit.

“Mac!” ah yelped giddily, pushin’ myself out of the seat and rushin’ over to give him a big ol’ hug. Ah squeezed him tight, but he seemed rather stiff. Ah noticed his eyes were bulgin’ out of his head too. Ah guess ah startled him a little with my affection.

“Eyup,” he said like always as ah pulled away, givin’ my back a slight pat.

“Erm, ah’m sorry about that, Mac. Ah just haven’t seen ya for so darn long.”

“Eyup,” he said again.

Ah sat down to finish my meal, still as worried as ever. Ah new Big Mac was a quiet fella, but gosh darn, he used to not be around me. Ah was still tryin’ to figure out whatever had come between us. Ah was sure nothin’ ever went sour with the two of us, at least not that ah remembered. Ah was sure ah would’ve remembered somethin’ like that too.

Meeting Mac

Ah figured ah couldn’t get much more outta Big Mac that night. He was probably even more exhausted than ah was since he’d been workin’ all day. That, and ah’d already told AJ ah was headin’ off to bed right after. So, ah headed on up to the guest room and laid back on the bed, so full of food and tuckered out that ah didn’t even wanna move after that. Well, ah had to. Ah noticed somethin’ uncomfortable nudgin’ at my sides and let out a little chuckle when ah realized ah still had on my saddle bags. Ah had been so caught up worryin’ about Mac that ah’d completely forgotten. Ah sat up to undo their strap and set them down beside the bed. Ah let out a long sigh, realizin’ that rest wasn’t gonna come soon enough for me. Yet again, Big Mac was on my mind. Ah turned to look out the window. Princess Celestia had finally finished up her day and Princess Luna was makin’ one beautiful night. The stars were twinklin’ all bright and the moon was shinin’. Even though they were dark, lookin’ out over the fields of Sweet Apple Acres reminded me of my visits to the place when ah was a youngin’.

The first time ah’d ever met Big Mac, was the first time ah saw good ol’ Sweet Apple Acres. It was my first Apple Family reunion ah ever attended too. Ah reckon ah was old enough to’ve finished my first few years of school… but shucks, ah can’t remember the exact age. Big Mac, well, he was bigger than most colts, but definitely not as big as he is now. Not only that, but he has a few years on me too. So ah was mighty terrified of him the first time ah saw him. Ah think all the other little’uns were too.

Ah was downright overwhelmed by the amount ah ponies ah saw fillin’ up the entire area around the barn and house and such. Ah’d never seen so many ponies in mah life. Everypony and their brother and their dog was out there. There was a constant jabberin’ of all mah family members talkin’ away, and ah felt like ah was runnin’ into or brushin’ up against somepony’s hooves every time ah took a step forward. A couple of the foals asked me to go on and play with’em, but ah was so taken aback by everythin’ that ah had to refuse. That’s about the time when ah first laid eyes on Big Mac.

Ah was tryin’ to find somewhere at least a bit quieter and more peaceful than where ah was. Lookin’ up ah thought ah’d found it. Up on one of the small hills beneath a big ol’ oak tree was the perfect place, not pony in sight. Somepony else was headin’ up there already though, and he was big, red, and woulda scared me right outta my boots if ah’d been wearin’ any. Ah stopped dead in my tracks. Ah certainly wasn’t gonna go try to share a hill with somepony as big as him. With just a slight touch of his hoof ah was sure ah’d be sent tumblin’ down the hill.

Then somethin’ caught my attention. Even as far away as ah was from him, ah could still see the expression on his face. He looked like he wasn’t havin’ any fun, and lonely too, real lonely. My heart ached for him, and he suddenly didn’t look so big and menacin’. Even though ah was still hesitantin’ a bit, ah figured ah’d go up there anyways and give him some company. It sure did look like he needed it. Ah started pushin’ my way through the crowd, dodgin’ around hooves and tryin’ my darndest not to bump into anypony. Ah’m sure ah said excuse me and pardon over a hundred times before ah finally reached the incline of the hill.

Ah caught the big colt’s eye as ah started makin’ my way up to him. Ah slowed down as he watched, in part not to surprise him or scare him and because ah was tryin’ to play it cool and not look as scared as ah really was. Ah definitely didn’t want somepony as big as him thinkin’ ah was some kind of yellow bellied coward. Anyways, once ah finally did make it to the top of the hill after meanderin’ my way up there a bit, ah stumbled slightly as ah reached for my hat. Ah tilted it down with my hoof and gave him a hearty “Howdy!” though ah’m sure it wasn’t near hearty as ah thought, considerin’ what a light voice ah had when ah was younger. “Mind if ah sit up here for a bit? That crowd down there is mighty big.”

“Nope,” he said with a nod. Even before Mac had hit puberty his voice was already deeper than most colts his age.

“Thanks!” ah said, givin’ him a grin.

“Eyup.” Ah knew from the get go that he wasn’t the talkative type, but ah didn’t know if it was because he didn’t like me or he was just shy.

“Uh… so what’s your name anyways? Ah’m Braeburn, but you can call me Brae if you’d like.

“Big Mac.”

I got a little chuckle outta hearin’ his name for the first time. My heart jumped when ah noticed him starin’. Ah figured ah might of got him angry. Ah gulped and could feel sweat beadin’ up around the brim of my hat. “Er… it’s just that ya really are big… ah mean… really, really big.”

“Eeyup!” he said again, this time more lively like, and with a smile on his face.

“Wait a minute,” ah muttered as somethin’ came to mind. “Big Mac… you don’t mean Big McIntosh, do ya?”

“Eyup.”

“Well, ah’ll be, you’re Applejack’s big brother aren’t ya?”

“Eyup, matter of fact ah am.”

“Well, ah’m your cousin! It’s a pleasure to meet ya, Mac… can ah call ya that?” ah said, givin’ him my hoof. He gave it a big strong shake before noddin’ his head. “Ya sound like a pretty great pony from what AJ’s been tellin’ me.

“Eyup, ah guess ah can be. Anyways, ah probably should be getting’ back to work. It was nice meetin’ ya,” he said, standin’ up on all fours and strechin’ out his back.

“Work?” ah asked, my mouth droppin’ open.

“Eyup, ah’m givin’ Granny Smith a hoof with everythin’.”

“Ah was wonderin’ how Granny was doing all this by herself. Ah guess she ain’t?”

“Nope.”

“Ah should probably be helpin’ out too, huh?”

“Nope, you got a few more years before ya have to do that. Besides, ah volunteered.”

“You volunteered? Now that’s mighty kind of ya.”

“Eyup. Anyways, ah got to be goin’,” he muttered, startin’ to trod off down the hill.

“Now hold up a minute!” ah yelled after him, tryin’ my hardest to catch up and not stumble. “Can ah tag along with ya? Ah can keep ya company… and… and ah can help to if ya’d like?”

He came to a halt, and looked back at me a moment with eyes that looked mighty similar to my own. Those eyes are somethin’ that run in the family. “Ah suppose so,” he said with a shrug.

“Yippee!” ah yelled, jumpin’ into the air and nearly takin’ a fall as my hooves touched down on the incline again.
That was how we ended up becomin’ good friends. Once we got used to bein’ around each other and bonded like sharin’ hard work always does to two ponies, we started talkin’ and talkin’. If ya don’t know him all that well, it’s pretty hard to think that somepony like him could talk so much, and it’s true, normally he doesn’t. Once ya get him goin’ though, well, there’s no stoppin’. Ah mean, you have to keep pushin’ him with startin’ up your own conversations and what not, but it gets real easy. So while ah was runnin’ around and helpin’ him with just about everything, haulin’ apple fritters and cider, puttin’ up tents and umbrellas, all that good stuff, ah startin’ getting’ to know him. By the end ah the day, he seemed like a completely different pony than the one ah’d seen up on that hill. It was amazin’ really, and so was he. Let me tell, ya, when ah had to leave the next day… well, ah was sadder than a pup on a rainy day. Mac helped to cheer me up though. He told me he’d be happy to see me next time around, and we could do the same thing over again.

***

It was on one of those other reunions that all my thoughts about Mac changed. It was when everythin’ changed. Ah was just gettin’ into my teens and Big Mac, well, he was nigh on becomin’ an adult. Ah was surprised how much he’d changed over such a sort course of time. That tall skinny colt that ah’d known, was fillin’ out, and not with no fat either. He was all muscle. Considerin’ how much work he did around the farm, ah shouldn’t’ve have been surprised, but ah was. For whatever reason, ah was stuck on believin’ he’d always be that skinny colt ah’d first met. Whether we were walkin’ or laborin’, ah couldn’t help but stare at those muscles in action. They weren’t all chiseled and perfect like those body builder pony’s, but ah could still admire’em. They were built outta real, honest work. The sweat drippin’ down his fur when it started getting’ hot followed and outlined their contours, makin’ his entire body seem to shimmer in the light. Then there was his face. It had certainly done its fair share of fillin’ out too. His cheeks had gone from thin to broad, complementin’ his already broad chin. The colt ah once knew was certainly turnin’ into one handsome stallion. His eyes had grown much calmer too. It was like ah could see the experience of a well-trained and very hard worker in’em, along with plenty of patience and control too. He let his orange mane grow out a bit too, but it still looked just as messy as it had when he was a youngin’. Another reminder of the colt ah once knew was the freckles on his face. Somethin’ about them kept a speck of his cute, colt-ish face alive.

At first, ah figured ah couldn’t stop starin’ at him because ah’d grown envious of his looks. Ah woulda been the talk of my school if ah looked like that. Ah was sure of it. Ah wasn’t even a lick mad though. So ah knew it wasn’t envy. Ah was actually admirin’ him. Ah was, well, attracted to him. Ah’d never felt any sort of feelin’s towards fillies like my friends had back at school, but from what they said, ah could certainly figure out what they were talkin’ about. Ah’d always thought that ah just hadn’t grown up enough to start havin’ those feelings, but when ah started really contemplatin’ it, what ah was feelin’ towards Mac… well, it was those feelin’s. Ah was mighty befuddled. Not only was he another colt, but he was my cousin. He was family… but ah was lookin’ at him way differently than that. That was the year that ah’d also noticed him startin’ to get quiet again, growin’ more distant from me. Not that ah could complain, ah was bein’ pretty dang quiet too considerin’ all the starin’ ah was doin’. Ah started to wonder whether it was just his age, or it was my starin’ that was makin’ him uncomfortable.

A while after returnin’ from the reunion that year, that’s when ah discovered that ah was well, that ah was, heh, a coltcuddler. Big Mac was the first colt that ah was ever really attracted to in that sort of way. Ah guess ah can thank him for helpin’ me get all that sexuality stuff figured out. Ah guess the real reason ah wanted to talk to him again, to have us close again, was because ah wanted to admit that to him. Ah wanted him to know he was the first colt ah’d ever been attracted to, for better or for worse. Now, ah’d be lyin’ if ah told ya the only reason ah wanted to was for closure. Ah did, but ah had some crazy hope that for whatever reason, he’d feel just the same way about me. Where would things go from there? Well, ah certainly had no way of knowin’. Would it be weird? Most assuredly, but ah was willin’ to deal with it. Ah just didn’t know if he was, or even how’d he’d respond for that matter. First thing was first though, ah had to get close to him again, and that would take us spendin’ some time together. It’d sorta be like back in the old days at the reunions. Ah’d be followin’ him around while we worked, and providin’ a strong helpin’ hoof whenever he needed one. That was all for the next day though. Ah needed to get some shut eye.

Eyup

So lost in my thoughts, ah’d completely forgotten to set an alarm for the next mornin’. Luckily for me, the smell of delicious pancakes and hot coffee must’ve been enough to stir me. Ah shot outta bed all wide-eyed and ready to go, knowin’ ah had to be off with Big Mac in a matter of minutes.

“Now, what’re you doin’ up so early on your vacation?” AJ asked as ah made my way into the kitchen. “Ah heard ya comin’ down those stairs. Sounds like you’re in some kinda hurry.” Her and the others were all sittin’ at the table with a high stack of syrupy, buttery, apple pancakes in front of each of’em. Ah was the center of attention, all eyes were on me. Ah guess it made sense considerin’ ah was jumpier than a dog who thinks he’s seen a snake.

“Like ah said, cuz, ah wanna help out.”

“Ah know that, but that doesn’t mean ya can’t sleep in.”

“Ah know that too. Ah just, ya know, like ah said, wanted to spend as much time with y’all as ah possibly can.”

“Well, you best get eatin’ then. Here, lemme grab you a plate,” she said pushin’ herself out of her chair and fixin’ up another plate. Ah took the empty seat beside Apple Bloom and across from Mac, the same one ah’d had the night before. Right after my plate was set in front of me, ah doused my pancakes in syrup and started shovelin’ down bites. Ah wasn’t even all that hungry, my belly still pretty filled up from dinner. So why was ah eatin’ like it was the last meal ah’d ever have? Well, because ah was watchin’ Big Mac downin’ ginormous bite after ginormous bite. He was goin’ at an average pace too, but ah could barely even keep up with him.

“Are ya that hungry, Brae?” Apple Bloom asked, eyeballin’ me. With a bite in my mouth, all ah could do was mumble. Luckily for me, AJ came to the rescue.

“Now, Apple Bloom, you need to concentrate on finishin’ your breakfast and gettin’ ready for school. You should be pickin’ up the pace a bit too.”

“Ah know, sis, ah know. Just look at how fast he’s eatin’!”

“Finish your breakfast.”

Then ol’ Granny Smith chimed in. “Just means the food is good. Ah’d consider it a compliment, Applejack.” Ah woulda clarified for’em, but ah was still strugglin’ to keep up with Big Mac.

Right when ah got my last bite into my mouth, Big Mac was just standin’ up to leave. “Eyup, ah’m off,” he muttered softly. Ah pushed myself outta my chair as quickly as ah could and started jabberin’ with my mouth still full.

“Ah’ll join ya,” ah let out, then swallowed quickly.

“Nope,” he said with a short shake of his head. “Ah’ve got it.”

“Ah know you’re more than capable… believe me, but ah still wanna help. That, and ah can keep ya company… ya know, just like old times. Won’t it-”

“Nope,” he said again, this time ah was gettin’ a bit more foreceful feelin’ outa it. “Don’t wanna bore ya.”

“Now, Mac, you won’t bore me. Ah think ya make mighty fine company. Me bein’ there’ll make it less borin’, don’t ya think?” Before Mac could open up his muzzle to let out what ah was sure was another nope, AJ once again intervened.

“Big Mac, Braeburn just wants to spend a little time with ya is all. He came here all the way from Appleloosa to see us after all. Ah think you should let our cousin tag along with ya.”

“Er…. eyup, your right. Come on, Braeburn, we gotta get a move on,” he said a bit hesitantly, noddin’ to the door. Ah woulda yelped with joy just like the first time ah’d ran around doin’ chores with him, but ah figured showin’ that kinda excitement might make him go back on his word.

***

The morning air was as fresh and crisp as a newly picked apple, and dew covered the fields. The sun was just peakin’ up over the hills and lettin’ us catch a few of its early rays. Ah was wonderin’ what all Big Mac had to do considerin’ it was the middle of summer and nothin’ was fruitin’ quite yet. Turned out for the most part, it was repairs. He’d always been good at that too. Ah was so caught up in figurin’ out what to say that ah hardly noticed how silent it was until ah really paid attention. All ah could hear was birds singin’ their early mornin’ songs. Ah decided that what we were talkin’ about didn’t really matter all that much, as long as we were. So ah tried to get him goin’ with some small talk while he was workin’ on patchin’ up one of the fences.

“It’s a lovely day, huh, Mac?”

“Eyup.”

“It’s nice to see the farm again. It’s been a while.”

“Eyup.”

“And you guys too.”

“Eyup.”

“Ponyville’s lookin’ pretty nice.”

“Eyup.” Ah new that was one of his favorite words, but back in the day he’d say much more than that to me. Ah was wonderin’ what was up. Why was he bein’ so distant? What came between us? Ah then began to wonder if my bein’ there was makin’ him uncomfortable, and if ah should really be there at all.

“…It’s just like old times, huh, cuz? It’ll be like when we were little’uns.”

“…Eyup.”

Ah was makin’ absolutely no progress, and turns out, ah never did. Ah kept tryin’ and tryin’, but ah was gettin’ nowhere. Eventually ah just gave up and confined myself to my own thoughts. Ah was still followin’ the big guy around, of course, but there was no point in wastin’ my breath if he wasn’t gonna waste any of his either. Ah was wonderin’ if ah’d messed somethin’ up or said somethin’ wrong. Once ah started lookin’ back though, ah’d done nothin’. It was all him. It had to be. Tryin’ to be as hopeful and optimistic as ah could, ah figured that maybe he just needed another day or so to get used to me again. Even with that nice thought in mind, ah was still strugglin’ to stay content. It was especially so when the day was comin’ to an end and all ah’d gotten outta Big Mac were a lotta eyups.

With the sun startin’ to lower and our shadows growin’ long against the fields, Big Mac called it a day. Ah dunno if he was just tuckered out from his overtime the night before, or if he was just bein’ considerate because ah was around. Now, if that was the case, then at least ah knew some of his thoughts were on me. Ah was already losin’ hope though. So ah figured that wasn’t the case at all.

***

Returnin’ to the Apple family residence, we were greeted with a cheerful howdy from AJ, little Apple Bloom, and Granny Smith. “Was your day good?” Applejack asked, carryin’ a few plates out from the kitchen.

“Eyup,” Big Mac said with a nod. Not wantin’ to fake a smile or a happy attitude, ah nodded too, tryin’ to hold back a sigh.

“Hey, Brae, if ya want, you can give me a hoof tomorrow. Ah’d love to spend some time with ya and catch up.”

“Or we could sit out on the porch with some iced tea and lemonade and have a little chat. Ah could tell ya about the olden days,” Granny Smith quickly added.

Ah knew it’d sound a bit weird, probably a lot, but ah had to refuse both of them. Ah mean, havin’ the excuse of wantin’ to rest was one thing, but sayin’ ah was wantin’ to spend more time with Big Mac was another.

“Well… uh, that sounds good and all but ah’m gonna have to refuse… ah… uh… ah’d like to go out with Big Mac… er, ah’d like to tag along with him… ya know what ah mean, heheh…” Ah quickly whipped off my hat and wiped my brow, realizin’ that what ah’d said didn’t come out nearly as coolly as ah woulda liked. My eyes darted back and forth between AJ and Mac. She was lookin’ at me all curious like, and Mac, well, he was as wide-eyed as a trout seein’ a waterfall after it was too late. “…It’s because ah haven’t really had the chance to catch up with Mac in years, unlike with you.” Applejack nodded her head slowly as if she didn’t fully get it. Ah took a step towards her and leaned in real close to whisper. “Ah think he needs the company too. He always seems so lonely.”

“Uh huh,” she whispered back, noddin’ her head much more agreeably. “Well, there ya have it, Big Mac, somepony to keep ya company again.” Ah was eager to see his reaction but ah was suddenly bombarded by Apple Bloom’s talkin’.

“Oh, Braeburn, ah almost forgot! You can come spend time with little ol’ me too,” she said with those adorable puppy dog eyes of hers. “Ah’d even let ya sit in on one of our Cutie Mark Crusader meetin’s and maybe even come along on a crusade.”

“Well, now that’s mighty kind of ya, Apple Bloom, but ah’m gonna have to decline. Ah’d really love to and all, but don’tcha think ah’d be a bit outta place. Ah’ve already got my cutie mark after all, and ah’ve had it for quite some time too.”

She sighed and then gave me a frown as she thought it over. “Yeah, ah guess you’re right.” Before ah knew it, ah was sittin’ down for dinner and hearin’ about her previous escapades, her friends, and even her day at school.

***

Ah tried layin’ down for bed, a bit later than the night before even, but ah was still wide awake. Yet again, my mind was filled with thoughts about Mac. This time though, ah was troubled completely with worries and none of the good memories of our time spent together were fillin’ my mind. Ah was startin’ to feel like ah might’ve lost touch with Big Mac forever, that we’d never get close again. If ah didn’t get close with him, there was no way ah was tellin’ him how ah felt about him. Ah had no way of knowin’ how to continue or what to do or say. Ah was at a loss. All ah could really do was just keep tryin’ with him in hopes that he’d start feelin’ at least a bit more comfortable. The problem was, ah only had a few days in Ponvyille, and ah couldn’t spend all of’em doin’ that if ah wanted to tell him the truth.

Ah started thinkin’ ah could always come back again some other time if ah couldn’t quite get to him that trip. Ah could continue buildin’ our friendship back up that way. Ah knew that’d be tough though. Leavin’ Appleloosa for even the short time that ah was, was rough enough already. They needed me there to help with the apple orchards and what not. It might seem silly that missin’ one pony could do that, but it really did. Ah needed to keep up my income too. A pony can’t survive without his bits.

Well, considerin’ ah was thinkin’ and worryin’ up a storm, there was no way ah was gettin’ much sleep that night. Ah tossed and turned, kickin’ off my covers and then pullin’em back up a few minutes later. As ah was about to drift off for the first time that night, ah suddenly shook myself awake, rememberin’ ah’d forgot to set the alarm again. Of course after gettin’ that all ready to go, ah was wide awake yet again. Ah finally did end up fallin’ asleep though. Even though ah didn’t have a chance to catch the time before ah did, ah knew ah already wasn’t gonna be sleepin’ for long.

Reconnecting

The loud ringin’ of the alarm clock in my ears did good startlin’ me right outta my sleep. Even though ah was all groggy and probably only half awake or even less, ah could tell ah needed more sleep. Ah wasn’t just hankerin’ for it neither. Ah seriously considered just shuttin’ it off and sleepin’ in to catch up, but ah knew how badly ah had to be out on the field with Big Mac again. Groanin’ and gripin’ after turnin’ it off, ah struggled to push away the covers and let the cool air reach me. Even worse, ah could barely keep my eyes open. After ah finally did get outta bed, ah managed to pull on my vest, but on my hat, and stumble down the stairs like ah was half dead.

Along with another hearty Apple family breakfast, ah had a few cups of coffee that were blacker than the night. They were workin’ wonders on me, but ah was havin’ to gulp down the hot stuff to keep up with Big Mac. Ah sure burned my tongue and mouth more than once that mornin’. Ah’m sure the others thought ah’d gone crazy. Ah certainly did look like ah lunatic chuggin’ down cup after cup of pipin’ hot, steamin’ coffee.

Before ah knew it, we were out on the field. The coffee was workin’ even better than expected. Ah was as chipper as a jaybird and energy was rushin’ through every muscle in my body. Ah was downright ready to talk, but of course Mac wasn’t. Maybe it was the coffee gettin’ me all jittery, but ah tell ya, ah was tired of his attitude the moment ah said a word to him. Ah was goin’ through the rounds again, sayin’ the same normal small talk as last time, and he was havin’ nothin’ of it. With all those eyups he was given’ me, ah was getting mad enough to swallow a horn-toad backwards. It only took one more eyup to break me. Ah was fed up.

“Mac!” ah yelled as fiercely as ah could, makin’ him whip his head around with big, wide eyes. “What in the hay is goin’ on? What ever happened to ya? We used to be such good buddies, and now ya won’t even have a conversation with me? Ah just need an explanation as to why things can’t be like they used to be! Ah know ah ain’t never done nothin’ to you to make ya spite me!” His mouth was wide open and his eyes were growin’ even bigger. Still, nothin’ was comin’ outta that mouth of his. Ah was about to go off again, but he suddenly started talkin’, and ah mean really talkin’.

“…It’s just that things change… and life moves on,” he let out softly. An explanation like that didn’t satisfy me one bit, but that didn’t mean ah wasn’t glad he was talkin’.

“You’re kiddin’ me, right, cuz? Ah guess it’s changed a little, but really, nothin’ all that much has. Ah know we both work a little harder than we used to, and that we’re busy plenty more often, but that don’t mean we shouldn’t be any less close.”

He let out the biggest sigh ah’d ever heard. Even comin’ outta such a big pony like him, it seemed huge. “Ah know… ah know, ah guess the truth is that ah’m nervous… it’s been a while.”

“Mac, ah’m sorry for actin’ the way ah did. Ah’m sure that’s just makin’ ya even more nervous, huh? Tell ya what, it’ll be like startin’ over from scratch, like back on that first day ah met ya. We can build up our relationship like we did then.”

“Eyup,” he said with a relieved nod. “Sounds good to me.”

Ah decided it’d be best to start off with some catchin’ up. “So Mac, how’re things? How’s life been treatin’ ya and how’s workin’ on the farm been goin’, good?”

“Eyup, but ah’ll be honest, ah’ve been gettin’ a bit restless as of late. Ah’m feelin’ tired of the same old stuff, ah guess.”

“Ah, well that’s no good. Ah know exactly what you mean. Maybe me bein’ around can spice things up a bit for ya?”

He shook his head softly. “Ah dunno how ya could.” He didn’t even know what was comin’. Ah figured it’d be a pretty big shock when ah told him the truth. So ah knew ah couldn’t do it quite yet. So ah changed the subject as quickly as ah could, and it wasn’t to somethin’ much better.

“So… Mac, ever find that special somepony? Ah know we talked about that once or twice. You were kind of a dreamer, heheh.”

He chuckled softly and shook his head. “Nope, but Apple Bloom and her friends worked real hard tryin’ to get me and their teacher together. Of course, they were usin’ some potion of sorts. Ah still don’t think they quite understand the concept of true love, but at least that taught’em a lesson. Don’t get me wrong, that Miss Cheerilee is quite the sight and a good filly too, but we ain’t got no chemistry. It just don’t feel right or somethin’. She’s a nice friend, and ah’m thinkin’ that’s all ah ever want her to be.”

“A potion, huh? That sounds like a pretty interestin’ tale, ah tell ya what. I’m thinkin’ you’ll have to tell it sometime.”

He nodded and smiled. Ah didn’t think he’d get a lick excited about somethin’ like that, but he certainly seemed to be a bit. “Eyup, maybe ah will at some point here.”

“Ah haven’t found nopony back in Appleloosa neither… and considerin’ ah know all of’em, things ain’t lookin’ so hot…. Ah, uh, know how lonely it can get sometimes.” Ah hid my blushin’ cheeks beneath the shade of my hat, tiltin’ it down slightly. Ah knew what direction ah was headed in, and that ah needed to stop. That was tough with him though.

“Eyup, it can.”

Ah wanted to say so much more on that subject, but ah couldn’t just yet. Ah had to keep playin’ it cool. “So, if ya don’t mind tellin’ it while ya work, how about that story?”

“Eyup, ah guess it’s as good a way to pass the time as any. As for hearin’ the story about him and that Miss Cheerilee, well, you’re gonna have to ask him yourself.

***

We talked and talked until the evening came. What we were sayin’ was nothing special, but it seemed like it was to me considerin’ how quiet Mac had been before that. Ah recon if it wasn’t for the changin’ of the light or the stretchin’ of our shadows, ah would’ve never realized the time. It’d gone by as quick as a whip. It was about that time that we decided on headin’ back in for some rest and some dinner. We came through the door still talkin’ away. Ah hadn’t even noticed AJ smilin’ in our direction.

“Well, now, looks like ya’ll are enjoyin’ yourselves. Finally talkin’ to him again, Mac? I’m guessin’ that means the both of ya had a good day?”

“Heheh, yeah,” ah said, grinnin’ and blushin’.

“Eeeeyup,” Mac muttered with the widest smile ah had seen from him in ages. Figurin’ ah was the one makin’ him smile, ah could feel my heart startin’ to pound and my stomach flutterin’ like ah thousand butterflies.

Me and Mac didn’t talk much after sittin’ down for dinner. Ah wasn’t worried though. Ah knew exactly the reason. The bond we had when we were colts, sort of the same bond we were startin’ to get goin’ again, was just between the two of us. If Mac wanted to talk to me, it’d be only me. It was sorta like we were always havin’ a private conversation, and that meant we weren’t gonna include anypony else in it, even if they were family. Reassurin’ my thoughts, Big Mac would nod and smile slightly whenever our eyes would make contact. After talkin’ my jaw off all day long, ah was just as exhausted as ah’d been the last two nights. Knowin’ ah wouldn’t really get to talk to Mac until tomorrow when it was just the two of us, ah decided to hit the hay early yet again. Ah was sorta excited about sleepin’ that night. Things had finally went right for once, so ah was thinkin’ ah could rest easy. That all changed when ah laid down for the night and my mind started workin’.

Ah only had a couple of days left with Big Mac, and ah still hadn’t told him the truth. Ah’d hope to have some time with him after ah’d revealed everything to him and all. Ya know… just in case everything was all swell and such. Now, if it ended up not goin’ well, ah’d want to get back to Appleloosa as quickly as ah could, but ah was pretty darn hopeful after what’d happened that day. The problem was, like ah said, ah only had a couple days left, and that meant ah had to tell him the next day. Ah knew ah was rushin’ things, and that ah could be ruinin’ my chances… but it was quite possibly the only chance ah was gonna have. What would Big Mac think? What would he say, especially if ah caught him by surprise by comin’ on so quickly. Ah didn’t even know how to tell him or even what to do. In all honesty, ah was as scared as a bunny in a foxhole. After gettin’ that far, there would be no climbin’ out. What’d happen if things didn’t swing my way?

Ah tried to get all those thoughts off my mind, but ah simply couldn’t. Ah even tried dreamin’ about what’d happen if it did go right, but ah knew how easy it’d be for it not to. It was another nearly restless night.

The Reveal

With the alarm ringin’ in my ears, ah was strugglin’ to pull myself outta bed again. The mornin’ felt plenty cooler than the last, but it was surely just my mind beggin’ for more sleep. After pullin’ away the covers and puttin’em back on when ah started to shiver a few times, ah finally pulled myself outta bed. Breakfast seemed to go by in a blur considerin’ all ah could do was ponder what ah was gonna say to Big Mac and worry. The only thing slowin’ it down was a few words from AJ.

“Ah figured ah’d just give ya the offer again, cuz, if ya want, ah’m always open to havin’ ya out workin’ with me today,” she said kindly.

“Thanks again, AJ, but ah was plannin’ on bein’ with Mac again.” Ah looked over to Mac who was givin’ a pretty excited nod.

“Ah figured as much.”

“Thanks anyways, cuz,” I muttered before losin’ myself again.

It wasn’t long at all before me and Mac were walkin’ out the door again. He kept lookin’ back at me while we were walkin’, like he was expecting plenty of words to come outta my mouth. Ah woulda loved to talk. It coulda been just like the day before, but ah was shakin’ and downright terrified. Ah knew what ah had to say, but ah just couldn’t seem to build up the courage. We were all alone out on the field, and ah knew nopony besides him was gonna hear what ah had to say, but his opinion was the most important outta all of’em. Ah could tell that he was startin’ to figure out somethin’ was up. He was lookin’ back at me less and less, and ah knew ah was runnin’ out a time. The longer ah waited, the more awkward things would get. Ah was sure of it, ah had to say somethin’… ah had to say it.

“M-Mac? Ah, uh, ah need to tell ya somethin’,” ah muttered out, not with any sorta confidence at all.

“Hm?” he mumbled, comin’ to a pause, and lookin’ back at me. Ah could tell by the way he was lookin’ that he knew what ah was gonna say was somethin’ big. Ah’m sure he could tell by how jittery ah was gettin’.

“Ah, uh, ah wanted to talk to ya about somethin’ ah… that ah, well, ah felt about you when we were younger. Somethin’ that helped me figure out who ah am now.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah, well, it was one of the last occasions we ever spent much time together. Ya know, during the Apple Family Reunion?”

“Eyup,” he said with a soft nod.

“Ah’m sorry if ah made ya uncomfortable that time around. Ah was… uh, lookin’ your way a lot.”

“Eyup,” he muttered. Ah was gettin’ the feelin’ he wouldn’t be sayin’ much else than that now that he knew somethin’ even bigger than him was comin’.

“Big Mac, ah’m, well, ah’m gay as ah’m sure you already know…” he started noddin’ his head again. “And of course that means ah’m attracted to other colts… but ya see, the problem is… is that ah’m… attracted to you… my own cousin.” Before he could say a word, which ah figured he’d need a moment anyways, ah started goin’ on explainin’ myself. “That time at the reunion was the first time ah’d ever looked at a colt that way, and that colt was you. Ah know how convoluted and crazy ah’m sounded right now, but you were the one who helped me figure out who ah am. Ah wanted to say thank you and well… well, ah just wanted to get that out there. Ah’ve never liked hidin’ it and… yeah.”

Big Mac’s mouth dropped open all limp like and his eyes started buggin’ out of his head as he darted them away from me. Ah knew what ah’d said had hit him hard, and was more than nervous to hear what he had to say about it. Ah looked at him for quite some time, noticin’ that his cheeks were even redder than his fur. We stood there for what seemed like ages in complete and horrible silence. Ah wouldn’t’ve minded the relaxin’ buzzin’ of bugs and chirpin’ of birds any other time, but since everything ah’d wanted was hingin’ on that response of his, well, it was mighty unsettlin’. Ah was startin’ to think that maybe ah should apologize for everythin’ or even attempt to explain it all a little better, but before ah could, Mac just turned around and started walkin’ again. Ah was taken aback by a reaction like that. Ah had no clue what to say or what to do. Ah just started followin’ while he began his work like ah wasn’t even there at all. It was like he was goin’ about a normal day all by himself.

Even after what seemed like hours, my heart was still poundin’ away and my cheeks were still burnin’. Ah’d gone and really screwed everythin’ over, or at least ah thought ah had. There was no definite proof from Mac, and that was what had me worried the most. Ah’d’ve tried talkin’ to him again, but ah was much too embarrassed to say anythin’ at all. Ah was even considerin’ just headin’ back to chat with Granny Smith instead for the longest time, but ah knew ah still needed some kinda response better than silence before ah gave in. So ah continued followin’ him around, and then waited while he worked, not botherin’ helpin’ because ah knew it might make things worse. Ah was so lost in my thoughts and worries that ah’d barely even noticed when we started headin’ back to the barn. Not only that, but it was an odd hour of the day too, the afternoon instead of the evenin’. Wantin’ to think about other things, ah guess ah just shrugged it off as Mac goin’ back to get some more tools or somethin’ or maybe even doin’ some other kinda task. After followin’ him into the barn, that’s when ah realized somethin’ else was up.

Ah turned when ah heard the sound of the old, worn out barn doors movin’, and noticed that he was closin’em up. Suddenly, the barn was dark except for a small bit of warm sunlight pourin’ in from the windows. “Uh, Mac, what’re you doin’ exactly?” Ah asked with a bit of hesitation and a whole lot of confusion. He turned around after finishin’ up with the doors and looked at me silently. Even in the low light of the barn, ah could tell his cheeks were even redder than they had been when ah first told him the news. “…Mac?” ah muttered, lookin’ at him curiously. That’s when ah noticed it. Down between his legs was his massive member, thick and hard as a rock as it throbbed in my direction. “M-Mac,” ah cooed, my cheeks burnin’ even brighter than his. Ah could feel a fire growin’ down in my crotch too, and then my stallionhood pushin’ its way further and further out of its sheath.

“Eyup,” he said with a nervous gulp as he started slowly makin’ his way towards me. “Ah’ve got a thing for you too, Brae… ah was always too nervous to tell ya. Ah guess that’s the real reason why ah started gettin’ so quiet around ya,” he said softly, his hooves crushin’ down on the scattered hay and hard packed dirt beneath’em. “Remember when you said you bein’ here could spice things up for me? Well, ah’ve been so pent up as of late, and ah’ve been needin’ a release.”

I gulped even louder than him, havin’ trouble believin’ what he was sayin’ and then goin’ on to think that ah was dreamin’. “So, what your sayin’ is that you… want me to…? Ya need my help…?”

“Eyup, ah really do,” he said softly, a bit of a smile coverin’ his face as he stepped so close that we were almost touchin’.

“Ah-ah’d never say no to helpin’ out my cousin,” ah muttered softly as his chest pressed up against me. “Ah’ll do whatever ah can for ya… and you can do whatever you want to me.”

“Ah like the sound of that,” he cooed, pushin’ me farther and farther back with his chest. This was it, ah couldn’t believe it, but it was really happenin’. Everythin’ ah’d ever thought about him, all those fantasies, they were comin’ true. Ah trembled, feelin’ the heavy beat of both of our hearts poundin’ against each other. Ah was ready for anythin’, even if we were cousins it’d be okay. The barn doors were closed and locked tightly. Nopony could see us or what we were doin’ with one another.

Cousinly Love

“Mac,” ah cooed again, meltin’ away as his rough lips cupped around my neck and sucked at my skin and fur. My entire body was rushin’ with excitement and ready for him. As my fur started to get damp from where his lips were touchin’, ah felt my back hoof press down into a big pile of hay. He pushed me a bit harder and ah stumbled back into the rather comfortable pile, landin’ on my flank. Ah then leaned back, my heart poundin’ even harder than before, as Mac climbed over top of me. He gazed down at me with his emerald eyes, a bit wide with excitement, and then laid on top of me, pinnin’ me down with his weight.

His lips locked with mine, and ah gladly kissed right back after a moment a pausin’ from the shock. My cock flinched as his massive member pressed down against my own, crushin’ my shaft and tinglin’ head beneath it. “Oh, Mac,” ah couldn’t help but moan out, clutchin’ my hooves around his thick body as ah pulled away from the kiss. Before ah had the chance to say anythin’ more his lips were over my mouth again. His strong tongue easily made its way between my lips, not that ah wasn’t gonna accept it anyways, and quickly found my tongue. Ah moaned again as his tongue wrapped around mine, vibratin’ both of our mouths. My entire body trembled as his cock started grindin’ up against my own. Ah couldn’t help but let out a happy sigh as our tongues continued to twirl, relaxin’ and lettin’ my body experience everythin’ that he was given me. His cock was strong and thick, just like the rest of him, but its skin was smooth and pleasin’ to the touch. Ah could feel his skin risin’ where each vein traveled up his shaft and even the shape of his thick head when he pulled away before pushin’ back in, lettin’ it travel slowly along my cock’s surface. As ah began to grind back ah could feel Mac’s skin tuggin’ softly against my own. As it pulled, shocks of pleasure rushed through my member and down deep into my crotch. My cock started pulsatin’ with enjoyment, and ah could feel his doin’ the same as he pushed soft grunts into my mouth.

He pulled away from the kiss, and ah gazed up at him with admiration. Ah was sure ah already looked like a mess. My hat had fallen off when he pushed me down, and my mane was gettin’ all messy from pushin’ up against the hay. Even at a time like that, ah wanted to look good for him; ah know it sounds silly. Him on the other hoof, he looked perfect. The cheeks on his broad, masculine face were still red from his blushin’, and sweat was beginnin’ to cling to the fur around his forehead and chin. A comfortin’ smile covered his lips, assurin’ me that ah was gonna enjoy everythin’ that was comin. Ah kicked my legs and let out another moan as ah felt some pre drippin’ down my head and onto the fur of my stomach. There was a lot comin’ and ah blushed when ah realized it was some of Mac’s too. Ah shivered as Mac gave my neck a long, lovin’ lick before rollin’ over onto his side.

Ah looked at him curiously, wonderin’ what he was up to. He gave me another lick and smiled even wider than he was before. “Wanna give me a taste?” he cooed softly into my ear.

“Uhuh,” ah said without hesitation, givin’ him a nod and a grin. He nodded back and rolled over onto his back, lettin’ his big cock rest against his stomach. Before crawlin’ over to him, ah looked up and down its massive shaft and then at the thick glob of pre on its tip. Ah licked my lips as ah grabbed its base in my hooves. “Oh wow,” ah muttered softly, lookin’ up at Big Mac as he scooted up against the wall to get a better view of the show that ah was gonna give him. Pressin’ my hoof gently against his big, cum filled balls, ah pressed the tip of my tongue against his base and slowly drug it all the way up to the edge of his tip, pushin’ down more and more of my tongue against his shaft as ah went. Continuin’ to fondle his tight balls, ah repeated the lickin’ a few more times, gettin’ the salty but sweet flavor of his delicious cock in my mouth. Ah couldn’t help but drool, coverin’ his shaft with my bubblin’ saliva. Finally ah moved my tongue all the way up to his tip to lap up his pre which was gettin’ warm again from me pushin’ a bit more out of him. It was perfectly sweet and sticky as ah swished it back and forth in my mouth before swallowin’ it down.

Ah then gave his cock a big, sloppy kiss, tightenin’ my lips to suckle his tip. His legs jittered a tad and he gave me a soft gasp. Ah’m sure it felt amazin’ on his sensitive tip. Ah kissed and kissed, admirin’ the big beauty and still strugglin’ to believe that what ah was doin’ was real. Not wantin’ to keep him waitin’, ah decided to go down on him… maybe with a little more teasin’ first. Givin’ his member one more lick, a pressed my lips against his tip like ah was gonna kiss it again, but instead pushed down, lettin’em slide right down over his thick head and onto the begginin’ of his shaft. As ah repositioned my hooves above his thighs, ah gave him a gaze. His mouth was half open, and he was already startin’ to pant. He was lookin’ right back at me, his eyes all relaxed and overtaken by pleasure.

Blushin’ deeply from his admiration, ah gave him a wink, and then twirled my drippin’ tongue around his shaft before pushin’ his delicious stallionhood further into my mouth. Now ah ain’t gonna lie, ah’d had some practice. So ah wasn’t even worried about gettin’ that big monster down my throat. Ah reckon ah surprised Mac pretty good with that experience of mine too. Droolin’ heavily, as his throbbin’ shaft pushed deeper and deeper into my mouth, ah paused slightly as it neared my throat. Mac gave me a nod like it was some kinda reassurance to continue. Ah woulda smiled if ah didn’t have his cock in my mouth, because then, after relaxin’ my throat and lettin’ it open up for him, ah pushed it all the way in. It was pulsatin’ again as inch after inch of my throat wrapped snuggly around it. Ah was beginnin’ to feel the sticky texture of more pre comin’ outta him. His hard tip pushed at the back of my throat every now and again, but with a few maneuvers of my head, ah avoided any pain for myself and gave him the smoothest passage ah could. Reachin’ his base, ah licked lovingly at his perfect balls, revelin’ in their delicious taste. Suckin’ in my cheeks, ah gave him a nice squeeze before headin’ back up, gettin’ a good grunt from him. Reachin’ his tip again, ah twirled my tongue around the edges of his head, causin’ it to flick a little and give me some more of his delicious pre. Ah went back down, slatherin’ his cock with my spit and lettin’ my throat glide across his hard, veined shaft.

After that, ah started pickin’ up the pace, figurin’ ah’d teased him long enough. Ah bobbed my head up and down his cock, pushin’ it as deep into my throat as ah could with each motion. Lookin’ up at Mac, ah figured he was already close to cummin’ considerin’ all the pantin’ and gaspin’ he was doin’. Ah could see his stomach and chest startin’ to heave with his shaky breaths. His cock seemed to be pulsatin’ more often too, but ah’m sure that was due in part to my drool because it was startin’ to trickle down his balls. Suddenly his big hooves were pressin’ down on my head. Ah could smell the dirt on’em from bein’ out on the farm all day long, and gladly let my neck go weak so he could do whatever he pleased. Pushin’ my head down a bit, he held it in place. Ah let out a happy moan of surprise once he started pumpin’ his hips. My body started goin’ weak too with ecstasy as his thick stallionhood pummeled its way down into my throat. It certainly wasn’t near as smooth as when ah was workin’ him, but somethin’ about him usin’ me the way he was got me goin’ even more. If it wasn’t for my front hooves holdin’ me steady, ah woulda reached for my cock. Instead ah just gave in, lettin’ him have his way. My eyes rolled into the back of my head as ah relaxed my throat even further and felt each and every one of Mac’s movements, even the littlest. Even the bumpin’, stretchin’, and rubbin’ felt amazin’ to me. Ah was in my own little paradise, and ah was sure Mac was too.

It wasn’t long before his pace started halterin’ and his muscles started to spasm with the amount of pleasure that was rushin’ through’em. Once his hold on my head started gettin’ weak, ah pulled away, lettin’ his drippin’ cock plop down against his stomach. Ah quickly picked it up in my hooves, and started strokin’ up and down his shaft. “Oh yeah, cuz, ah want’cha to cum all over me,” ah cooed, lickin’ my lips and starin’ down over his member.

“Mmm, gonna make a mess,” he moaned, barely even able to talk as ah caressed my hooves up and down his cock.

“Ah like gettin’ messy,” ah said with a wink. “It’s gonna be a big mess, huh?” ah teased, moanin’ and openin’ my salivatin’ mouth wide for him to see.

“E-eyup,” he panted out before clenchin’ his teeth.

“That’s right, Mac… c’mon, give it to me,” ah coaxed, pickin’ up the speed of my hooves as ah watched a massive glob of pre come out of him.

“I-it’s… comin’,” he muttered between his teeth. When his muscles locked, ah quickly shut my eyes, and felt his cock pulse strongly as ah thick rope of his cum shot off. Ah moaned lovingly as it hit my muzzle and splattered back onto my eyelids. Ah opened my mouth as wide as ah could for the second round. Ah was more than pleased when the thick, salty seed splattered onto my tongue and the insides of my cheeks. He shot again and again, coverin’ my face with his warm, messy cum. After he gave a loud sigh, ah knew he was finished. Ah opened up my eyes and squeezed out the last of his load with my hooves, and then lapped up the wonderful treat.

“Brae,” he sighed out, givin’ my head a lovin’ pat. “Thank ya, cuz.”

“Well, there’s plenty more where that came from,” ah said with a wink, lickin’ up the cum on my face and wipin’ it away with my hoof.

“And ah’ve got plenty more for you too,” he said with a smile. Ah woulda sucked him off again to taste more of his amazin’ cum, but ah knew what he really wanted, my tight, little flank. Ah crawled up on top of him and sat down on his still hard cock.

“Mmm,” ah cooed, “what do ya think a this, cuz?”

“Ah think ya have a really nice flank, Brae.” With that kinda enthusiasm, ah pushed my flank down hard against his cock, lettin’ it slip between my flanks like a carrot dog, except of course the buns were much bigger, heheh. His cock was still plenty wet from all my slobberin’ along with a little left over cum. So it made the rubbin’ go nice and easy. His cock had started softenin’ up again on me, but with my flanks squeezin’ nicely around it, it wasn’t long at all before ah could feel it growin’ and thickinin’.

“Ah’m thinkin’ you’re gonna be the biggest ah ever had, Big Mac,” ah moaned, feelin’ his cock tremblin’ between the weight ah was puttin’ on my flanks.

“Ah bet you’ll be the best ah ever had,” he moaned right back.

“Oh, Mac,” ah cooed, startin’ to blush again. Ah placed one of my hooves on his big, barrelin’ chest and rubbed it tenderly against his fur. “Ah’ll try my best,” ah whispered, leanin’ down and givin’ him a kiss before wrappin’ my hooves around his strong neck. “Ah’m ready when you are, cuz.”

“Eyup,” he affirmed with a nod. Ah lifted my tail for easy access and looked back to watch as he cupped one hoof around his cock to position it and the other around one of my tremblin’ flanks.

“Ah’m so ready for ya,” ah moaned into his ear as he began nibblin’ and bitin’ at my neck. Ah moved one hoof back and spread the other cheek for him, stretchin’ my entrance as well as ah could. My fur was warm and damp from our fun. Ah let out a little excited gasp once ah felt his warm, hard head pushin’ up against my hole. It already felt big compared to my tight little backside, so ah knew it was gonna be a doozy to get in. Ah grunted lovingly once he started pushin’, at first gently, and then gettin’ harder. Ah tried to relax to help myself loosin’ up, but ah was too darn excited. With each and every push though, ah could feel my tight little hole growin’ more and more acceptin’ of his head. Ah gazed forward at Mac as he brought a hoof up to his mouth and spat on it. Ah knew exactly what was comin’ next, and ah wanted my eyes locked with his when it did. Ah could hear the sound of his cock gettin’ all nice and lathered up and then just like that, he was inside me. Ah groaned happily as his tip pushed its way through my entrance, and my body shuddered as a jolt of pain and pleasure, much more of the pleasure, rushed through me. “Gah, Mac!” ah moaned sloppily, already beginin’ to drool from the pleasure kickin’ in.

Slowly but surely his cock started pushin’ its way deeper and deeper inside of me, makin’ sure ah was gettin’ all the pleasure ah could outta the whole experience. His thick shaft was stretchin’ me wide and pushin’ up against my prostate with every inch deeper he went, makin’ me grunt and moan the whole time. Ah started bitin’ down on his neck as he continued to nibble at mine. Ah shivered as his hooves wrapped their way around my waist and pushed my entire body down against his. That’s when he began thrustin’, softly at first, givin’ me a good chance to get used to it. His massive stallionhood continued to stretch me, pullin’ and tuggin’ softly at my insides as it moved its way in and out. My cock flinched against Mac’s stomach with each of his movements. Ah was sure by the way my prostate was gettin’ massaged, ah was pushin’ out loads of pre.

Then he started goin’ at it harder and deeper, poundin’ his cock as far into me as he could, and oh let me tell ya, it felt absolutely amazin’. My insides were finally startin’ to loosin’ up good, makin’ his movements much smoother and more enjoyable. He even added a little bit more spit to give me an easier ride. As his balls started slammin’ into my flank with his strong, heavy thrusts, ah began makin’ my own movements, grindin’ and humpin’ up against him. Ah did so in a circular sorta motion so his thick member would push up against my insides as much as possible. With all the pleasure ah was receivin’, ah let my front half relax, nuzzlin’ my snout up against Mac’s neck as he continued poundin’ into me. Ah could tell he was enjoyin’ himself too. His fur was gettin’ damp from all the pleasure and the workin’ he was doin’. Ah could smell the sweat on him, the sweat of passionate love makin’. It was sweet and pleasin’ to my nose as ah nuzzled it even closer against him. Then ah could feel the moans and grunts vibratin’ through his body before esapin’ his mouth and headin’ straight into my ear.

“Cousin!” ah moaned loudly, holdin’ him tight as a surge of pleasure rushed through my crotch. “How am ah feelin’? Ah can tell ya that you’re doin’ absolutely fantastic,” ah panted into his ear, still recoverin’ from the surge which was already buildin’ up again.

“Perfect,” he grunted back, holdin’ me just as tightly as ah held him.

“Good,” ah cooed, meltin’ against him and lettin’ my moans take over. Just as ah was startin’ to let my eyes close, ah was suddenly rolled over onto my back, with Big Mac’s big passion filled eyes starin’ down at me.

“Get on your stomach,” he commanded softly, releasin’ his grip and pullin’ out. Ah let out a soft grunt as his tip popped back out of me before doin’ as he asked. I moaned out as he placed a hoof upon my flank and began massagin’ away. His hoof was so strong and rugged, I was already back to enjoyin’ myself, even without that wonderful cock of his inside me. Relaxin’ and gettin’ used to the massagin’, ah was more than surprised when my flanks were spread and ah felt somethin’ warm and wet tuggin’ at my hole. Ah yelped with pleasure as his muzzle pushed up against me and his tongue began twirlin’ around and around my entrance.

“Mac,” ah moaned, startin’ to lose my breath. My cock was pulsin’ and flickin’ with delight from the absolutely incredible feelin’. My hole was getting’ wetter and wetter from his slobber, and ah could feel little streams of it tricklin’ down my taint and onto my balls. Ah let out another gasp as his tongue suddenly slipped inside me. Ah raised my flank even higher into the air to give him easier access, and pushed my hooves deep into the hay like ah was tryin’ to find somethin’ to grip onto. His tongue moved up and down, slidin’ across and pushin’ around inside of me. Ah looked down between my legs, watchin’ as some pre dribbled outta me. The way his tongue was pushin’ up against my prostate, ah was sure he could make me cum be just doin’ what he was. Ah was startin’ to drool again too, some of it makin’ its way down the sides of my mouth and drippin’ onto the hay. Even though ah was more than enjoyin’ what he was doin’ for me, ah wanted more, much more. “Ah want ya to rut me, cuz, rut me as hard as you can!” ah gasped, barely even able to control the words comin’ outta my mouth.

“Eyup, ah was hopin’ you’d say that,” he said with a wide smile as ah gazed back at him with pleadin’ eyes. My heart startin’ poundin’ as he began to mount, his hooves wrappin’ around my chest and his crotch pushin’ down against my flank. Ah raised my tail nice and high for him and moaned excitedly as ah felt his cock pressin’ at my flank again. Ah bit down hard on my lip, knowin’ that this time around, he wasn’t gonna be gentle. I couldn’t help but grunt between my lips as his thick member slammed deep inside of me, his balls, still nice and heavy with cum, slammin’ into my flank.

“Ah, Mac, rut me the best you can! Rut me good!” ah groaned again and again beneath my breath, my eyes rollin’ into the back of my head as his cock moved harshly in and outta me, his balls smackin’ against me with each, hard, pleasurable thrust. More and more drool was leakin’ out of my mouth, and my eyes finished rollin’ as ah let the pleasure take over. Ah even ended up bitin’ down on some hay and clenchin’ it tightly between my teeth to help quiet down my loud grunts. His hooves were gettin’ tighter and tighter around my chest, squeezin’ me securely for him to have his way with me. That and he started nibblin’ and bitin’ on my ear. Ah was more than pleased to with the little, slightly painful love nips. It was makin’ me blush redder than a ripe red delicious. Ah was startin’ to feel like our experience was a little more than just lust. Our bond was definitely much stronger, even if it was just from our cousinly ties.

My grunts turned into moans as ah felt pleasure startin’ to rush through my crotch and lower half with each of his thrusts, and gettin’ better and better with each. The way he was poundin’ into me so hard, ah was sure he was gonna make me cum at any second. Mac’s breaths were growin’ heavier and heavier and his bitin’ was gettin’ harder. Ah knew he was comin’ close too. “L-let’s cum together cuz… a-and cum as deep inside of me as ya can,” ah pushed out as best ah could, still moanin’ hard and heavy.

“E-eyup!” he grunted, pullin’ away from my ear for just a second before bitin’ back down. Buildin’ up further and further, his heavin’ grunts vibrated through my stingin’ ear and shook my entire head. Considerin’ how amazin’ my build up was gettin’, ah knew ah was gonna cum hard, and the way Big Mac was startin’ to shake, ah knew he was too. Not long after, ah lost all control of my body and mind, focusin’ only on the pleasure my cousin was givin’ me. My body felt like it was turnin’ into air and my mind was fillin’ with fog. Besides the intense pleasure rushin’ through my whole body, all ah could feel was Mac tremblin’ against me and some of his sweat drippin’ down onto my head. Then it happened. With one final thrust, even harder than all of his others, ah could feel his thick, warm seed shootin’ deep inside of me, one shot after the next. The rush of warmth fillin’ me up was more than enough to push me over the edge too. With a loud series of grunts, ah looked down with a heated face and watched as my own seed exploded out onto the hay beneath me. Me and Mac just kept cummin’ and cummin’. Ah watched with amazement as more and more cum shot out of me, soakin’ the hay with sticky white as my balls drained. Ah came again and again as ah started feelin’ Mac’s seed bubblin’ and spurtin’ outta me as ah got all filled up. It felt amazin’ rushin’ down my backside and coatin’ my balls with delicious frostin’.

“Mmmac,” ah let out as ah finished.

“Cuz,” he cooed back as he finally let go of my ear. He then pulled outta me with a sloppy pop, and ah shuddered with another rush of pleasure as the rest of his cum drained outta me. Mac suddenly collapsed on top of me, pushin’ me down into the cozy pile of hay with his heavy body. Ah sighed happily as he nuzzled up against my neck, and looked outside to see the orange glow of the settin’ sun. We still had a bit of time to rest up and then clean ourselves before dinner. We wouldn’t be suspected of anythin’. Everythin’ had gone absolutely perfect, and all ah had hoped for had come true. Ah was more than content, all of my big adventure had been completed… but that didn’t mean ah wasn’t already cravin’ more.

“Hey, Mac?” ah asked softly.

“Eyup?”

“Are we ever gonna do this again, ya think?”

“Eyup!” he cooed passionately.

“Good, maybe ah’ll come back to Ponyville again real soon, huh?”

“Ah’d like that a lot.”

“You’re the best cousin’ a pony like me could ask for, Mac.”

“Eyup, heheh, same to you.”

Author's Note

I was thinking about doing another chapter where positions are switched up between Brae and Mac, but you guys seemed to have mixed feelings about me doing that with Scotch on the Rocks. So, it's up to you. I want your input: Is it good enough as is, or would you like another chapter?
