Author's Note

First off, yes there is a sex scene in this chapter. It is rather tame and in my opinion it is better paced than the last. There are a lot of references in this chapter that I made as a kind of 'see how many you can spot' game. Anyway this took a long time to come out and I'm sorry for that. I hope you all enjoy it though!

Big Macunderstanding

Chapter 3: Big Macunderstanding

“No, No, No, No, No!” Discord shook his head with each ‘no’ as he sulked over to the couch and sat down with his arms crossed and lower lip pushed out pouting like a foal who was throwing a minor temper tantrum. He was at Fluttershy’s when there was a knock at the door, upon opening it there stood a grey mailpony with yellow eyes and an envelope in her mouth. Without a word she gave it to Discord and bounded off toward Ponyville with her brown mailbag. Looking at the envelope, however, revealed that this wasn’t even meant for Fluttershy at all, it was a letter from Celestia to Discord. While opening it he wondered why Celestia had sent the mailpony here instead of to his address, then he remembered what happened to the last mailpony Celestia had sent with his Gala ticket to his address. I suppose being lost in a pocket dimension is grounds for banning delivery to anypony’s abode. Still, why is she sending this anyway? Then he read it and threw his little fit of childish defiance.

Fluttershy who had been at the door with him looked over his shoulder, or rather hovered over it, and caught a few words before Discord had crumpled it like it was a failed script or drawing and threw it across the main room. From what she could gather there was a ‘royal summit’ and ‘representatives of each race’ would attend, this was for some type of political reason, though Fluttershy was never really one to delve into politics and so she didn’t know why this summit was even necessary. At any rate it seemed that Discord was being summoned as the last of the draconequus and because of his position as being the royal advisor/assistant in essence. Confused as to why Discord took it so badly she uncrumpled the letter and skimmed a bit more until she found the problem ‘the royal summit will last one week in Canterlot Castle during which no other beings besides staff will be allowed into the Castle or its surrounding grounds’ basically that meant a full week without seeing each other at all.

Having deduced the issue Fluttershy trotted to the couch and sat down next to Discord and put her forehoof on his shoulder in a comforting manner similar to that of a mother consoling a foal. “Discord, I know it’s hard for you to think about not seeing me for a full seven days, but it’s not that long and besides this is a very important event not only for Equestria but the rest of our world as well,” she said gently trying to calm him down.

“I’m not going! I’m not going to deprive myself of one of the only joys in my life for an entire week to fill it instead with some idiotic political nonsense that is sure to be as fun as wrestling a chimera while covered in cottage cheese,” Discord huffed clearly not helped by Fluttershy’s attempts to calm him. It may seem trivial to some, but Discord was new to the aspect of friendship and even newer to that of a relationship. He may be centuries old but his emotions in some regards where very foal-like and attachment issues were in that category. This meant that he craved attention and, newer to him, affection, and naturally the idea of not having those crucial needs met, no matter how long, was frightening to him. Especially since they’d been together nearly every day for half a year now.

“Discord you have to, it’s an official summons from Princess Celestia herself. If it weren’t imperative for you to come she wouldn’t have written,” Fluttershy said a little firmer, trying to take a different approach.

“Or maybe sun-butt is a troll who is hoping I’ll liven things up,” Discord retorted.

“Discord she’s the reason why you’re free now. In fact, you could even say she is the indirect cause we’re together now. The least you could do is put up with a few stuck up dignitaries for a few days,” she insisted.

Discord hmphed and turned his head away from her. How could she want this? Being separated a whole week with no form of communication, he’d rather be dipped in peanut butter and thrown in Tartarus as Cerberus’s new chew toy. Still, his little mare had a point, he owed Celestia his current life and as such it was only just of him to do what she asked, within reason of course. This was an important, and boring, event that sun-butt had felt pertinent for him to attend so he was obliged to. “Fluttershy, sometimes I wish you’d be more rebellious,” he sighed in defeat, “but then I suppose you wouldn’t be you then so I can live with little miss goody four-hooves.” He said the last bit teasingly as he kissed her cheek.

Fluttershy blushed at the tease, even though for Discord it was rather tame, it made her feel a tad bit self-conscious but not abundantly so. She felt a little bit of pride for being able to change Discord’s mind, something that nopony else could do without more resistance on his part. Feeling accomplished she nuzzled into the crook of his neck allowing his chin to sit atop her head. “I know it’ll feel like a long time but we can have fun until then. Oh, I forgot to look at the date. Discord when is the summit?” She inquired.

“It’s the day after tomorrow, but let’s not discuss it any further. Right now I want to enjoy the time I have left to spend with you,” he said smoothly.

Fluttershy was about to respond when suddenly Discord’s talons trailed along her stomach tickling her as they barely touched the sensitive skin. “Ha Discord haha stop,” she managed to get out between laughs. She knew full well that by now Discord knew all her weaknesses, and one major one was that she was very ticklish. Discord smiled mischievously as he increased the speed at which he was gently raking his talons across her stomach.

“Oh stop? But my dear you have such a wonderful little giggle, and besides I have no idea what you’re talking about,” he replied in a faux innocent tone.

Fluttershy couldn’t hold back her laughter as he continued his tickle assault. “Hahahaha Discord heehee don’t *snort* stop,” she pleaded between her various chuckling.

He sped up again with a little chuckle of his own. “All right my dearest, since you insist I won’t stop,” he teased.

Unable to stop the onslaught of his tickle talons Fluttershy managed to wiggle out of his grasp and ran to the door then stopped and turned around to face him with a playful smile spread across her face. Discord was surprised at first by her running to the door but quickly understood her game as she turned with a look that made the Spirit of Choas and Disharmony positively giddy. He got up and crouched like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey. “My, my, it seems I’ve got myself a little minx,” he said rather huskily. “What am I to do with her once I catch her?”

Fluttershy smirked and said with a taunting tone, “Who says you’re going to catch me?”

Discord enjoyed it when Fluttershy was in a playful mood, it juxtaposed her usual calmness and therefor was downright chaotic for her. He also liked it when she became a little vixen and teased him, albeit indirectly at times but still it drove him mad with anticipation. “Oho, and a cheeky one too,” he replied with an underlying tone of need. “How about we make this game of cat and mouse more interesting my little vixen. Should I catch you within, oh, shall we say five minutes then I get to take you upstairs and well surely you know the rest?”

Fluttershy enjoyed teasing and taunting Discord, he liked it for one thing, and another was that it gave her a little bit of control over him which was something rare in and of itself. She swished her tail back and forth not unlike a playful dog and smiled up at him in an indication that she understood perfectly what he meant. “And what if I evade you?” She asked curiously.

Discord tilted his head in thought for a few moments, indeed he hadn’t thought of what she would get, mostly because by the end of this whole affair they’d both desire the same thing. After having mulled it over in his head Discord spoke. “If you should evade my advances for a full five minutes then tomorrow I shall be your humble manservant obeying every order, as long as it is within reason of course,” Discord said confident in his success.

“All right, deal, but you must give me a three second head start,” she replied.

“Fair enough,” he said huskily. “You’d better start running now my little minx this predator can only hold back for so long.”

With that Fluttershy ran around past him behind the couch and waited for him to begin the chase. Fluttershy wanted to make this interesting, but had no intention of winning as his outcome sounded more enticing anyway. She would keep him at bay for a while and then make out like he’d won fair and square, she didn’t mind ‘losing’ and Discord got a much needed lift from winning. Almost as soon as she’d gotten behind the couch Discord followed suit swiftly.

The game had begun in earnest and Fluttershy ran around almost prancing as she avoided Discord’s grasp. One minute in and both parties were fired up from the activity and anticipation of what was to come. Fluttershy was beginning to tire out from the strenuous exertion and managed to barely evade him for another two minutes before her grievous mistake. Discord smiled as he pounced so that he was in front of Fluttershy, who had found herself too close to the corner of the room, he managed to back her up into the corner. “My, my, it seems that I am the victor my dear,” he said in a sultry tone as he kissed her deeply. “Time to collect my prize.”

Discord picked her up and carried her up the stairs and into her bedroom, shutting the door behind them. He sat her down on the bed gently and lay next to her as he stroked her mane tenderly. “Fluttershy, have I ever told you how beautiful you are?” He asked softly. “Because if I have I don’t feel I say it enough to do you justice. You are so much more beautiful than words could even begin to describe my dear.”

Fluttershy felt her face grow warmer as she blushed her face turning nearly the same shade of pink as her mane from embarrassment. Discord chuckled at her response and kissed her lips so gentle that they barely brushed each other before he pulled back to look into her amazing blue eyes. “I love you my cotton candy maned beauty,” Discord said tenderly.

Fluttershy nuzzled her head into the crook o f his neck. “I love you too my chaotic stud,” she replied softly.

Discord held her close to him as he began kissing every part of her being he could reach, which being as elongated and flexible as he was there was very little he couldn’t reach. “Cara mia,” Discord whispered in her ear as he trailed kisses up one of her forehooves.

Fluttershy felt her need for Discord rising as he held and kissed her. He was really quite gentle and caring when he wanted to be and he was always this way in their intimate moments together. Fluttershy moaned softly as his trail of kisses led up to her neck where he gently brushed his serpentine tongue against her soft fur. Discord was very pleased by her response and continued to trail his tongue up against her neck for a few moments before gently biting it. Fluttershy’s muscles tensed up in pleasure to respond to the gentle bite and a small moan escaped her throat louder than its predecessors.

“Are you ready to go further angel?” Discord asked gently not wanting to rush her into anything.

Fluttershy nodded her head yes in response to his question her desire becoming ever greater. Discord smiled and situated her under him, then he trailed more kisses down to her already moistening mound. Once he was sure she was ready he began tentatively licking around her folds allowing her to get used to the new sensation in her nethers. Fluttershy moaned softly as Discord’s unique tongue tested the waters, so to speak. Taking her moans as the signal to continue he trailed his tongue along her slit searching just in front of her opening for the ‘magic’ place on all mares. Finally he found her clitorous and he began his assault by wrapping his long tongue around the nub and using the hold to gently squeeze it.

Fluttershy let out a surprised yelp from the sudden rush of pleasure caused by Discord’s squeeze on her sensitive nub. Discord continued to squeeze and rub against her clit with his slender tongue barely giving her anytime to breathe from the ecstasy rushing through her. He stopped squeezing and began to lick at it vigorously. Fluttershy’s mouth remained open in a constant silent scream of pleasure. This was new to her and she was overwhelmed by how much such a little part of her body could cause this much of a reaction. Discord sped up his licking sensing that she was getting closer and closer to her climax.

Fluttershy felt her body tense and her nethers grow hot as the pinnacle of her pleasure was fast approaching. Discord quickly to the entirety of her nub into his mouth and suckled on it sending her tumbling over the edge. Fluttershy nearly screamed in pleasure as her inner muscles contracted and her inner walls released a generous amount of fluid. Discord lapped up the remaining lubrication from around her hole and then made his way back up so he could see her face. “That was certainly the loudest sound I’ve ever heard you make my dear,” he chuckled. “I’m glad you enjoyed yourself so much.”

Fluttershy blushed and kissed him deeply. “It...was very g-good,” she forced herself to say through her lust. Discord beamed with pride as he heard her praise and positioned himself just above her opening. “Well I hope I can top it,” he replied as he thrust inside her.

Fluttershy moaned loudly and began to pant as Discord slid himself into the innermost parts of her being. Discord sped up his thrusts, her walls tightening around his length and massaging it almost with every thrust. As he continued to push in and out of her Fluttershy began to moan wantonly and her face became full of need. Discord was more than happy to give her what she craved and increased his thrusting to a point where he almost had trouble with steadying himself. Fluttershy began to pant more frequently between her moans as Discord’s length invaded her with such force she bounced up with each thrust. Discord grunted as his muscles began to weaken from extensive use, he was not about to give up and he redoubled his efforts each time pushing into her folds as deep as he could go. He was sweating pretty heavily now as he felt his own climax looming over him.

With one final forceful thrust he came with an audible moan of pleasure. His seed streamed into her filling her with its warmth. The feeling of him pulsing within her was enough for her to climax a second time her fluids mixing with his. Each stream was more than the average stallions and upon the last pulse from his cock it was already spilling out around his length and onto the sheets. Discord pulled out as he softened and lay next to his goddess breathing heavily from the physical strain he had just underwent. “So… how was that?” He asked through breaths.

“It was amazing,” she replied completely spent. “Discord will you stay here tonight? I want to spend as much time with you as I can before the summit.”

“Of course my love,” he replied as he kissed her gently. “Nothing would make me happier.”

That night and the next day passed by in what seemed to be the blink of an eye and neither were truly prepared when the time came for him to leave. Discord wasn’t really good with goodbyes so he spent the previous night with her and in the early morning hours he kissed her and left a note on her night desk. The note was a simple explanation of why he left so suddenly and without a proper farewell. He felt empty as he teleported into Canterlot Castle and he didn’t even have the heart to tease Celestia or even Luna for that matter.

Fluttershy woke up that morning only slightly surprised by Discord’s absence, she knew he had problems with having to talk to someone he wouldn’t see for a while and having to say goodbye. She read the note and understood perfectly why he’d left without a word, but still it didn’t change the fact she wished she could’ve kissed him one last time before he left. At any rate she had to find stuff to keep her mind occupied now that her house was less one draconequus.

The first three days went rather well as she had neglected some of her chores during the two days before Discord had to leave. This made sure she had a lot to do, but she also had ample time and on the fourth day she couldn’t find anything to do. She was a bit uneasy and felt a little paranoid as she could feel somepony watching her but couldn’t find any evidence to support it. Deciding it was probably her lack of things to do she went to go see if Applejack could use any help on Sweet Apple Acres.

Discord’s days had fared far worse and each day he felt more and more depressed. On the fourth day Celestia approached him as he was in the Garden just staring off into space. “Discord I know about you and Fluttershy,” she began and added before he could ask how, “I know because Twilight wrote everything about you two in a letter to me. I know you’ve not been yourself lately because you miss her. Is that not so?”

Discord nodded dejectedly and looked at the ground. “I may not have a special somepony of my own but I do understand the love and longing involved. It is for this reason I give you a royal pardon from today’s activities,” Celestia said regally. Discord’s entire demeanor did a 180 as he smiled widely at Celestia. “Now never say good old ‘sun-butt’ never did anything for you.”

Discord wasted no time in teleporting to Fluttershy’s cottage only to find out she wasn’t there. He supposed that she must be with one of her friends or out saving the forest or something equally as goody-goody. He sighed and sat down on the couch. He could wait for her to return, after all he had the entire day off. A light bulb suddenly appeared above his head as he remembered an older type of magic that would allow him to see what Fluttershy was doing. Heading to her room he grabbed the bucket of water and brought it downstairs. He sat it on the table and stuck his talon to the surface causing on image to appear. It was Fluttershy and she was talking to Applejack, however this archaic magic would only show what was happening and not what was said or heard and it was in a fixed angle. Still, it was better than nothing, he sat on the couch and watched the bucket having nothing else to do until she returned.

“Yeah, Granny Smith’s been real sick and Big Mac has been havin ta do all the work by hisself. Normally I’d buck the apples and put them in bushels and put em on his cart, but now he’s been havin ta do everything,” Applejack explained. “If yall would help him it would ease his workload a bit and we might be able to gather more bushels today.”

Fluttershy had been asking AJ if there was anything she could do to help out around the farm, explaining that she had nothing else to do and manual labor didn’t scare her. “All right, I suppose I can get the apples into the bushels but he’ll have to lift them into the cart,” she replied. “Is that okay?”

“Eeyup,” a familiar voice said from behind her. Turning around she saw Big Mac who had apparently been at the house eating lunch up until then judging by the bread crumbs still on his muzzle. Noticing her staring at his muzzle he wiped it clean with a bit of an embarrassed smirk. “Sorry.”

“Well since Mac’s here I’ll go ahead and get back ta Granny, now Fluttershy don’t stress yerself too much,” AJ said before going inside.

Discord felt a bit relieved now as Applejack left thinking that Fluttershy would be on her way home soon, but his relief was short-lived as he saw her trotting off into the orchard with Applejack’s brother. Why would she be alone with him?! What are they doing in the orchard?! His latter question was answered as Fluttershy flew up to the top of a tree and began collecting apples and placing them in baskets below. Discord’s heart stopped racing and he calmed down realizing she was just helping out with the harvest. Though why wasn’t Applejack out there instead of her? Deciding to watch and see he stared into the water.

The day sped on hour after hour with the same repetitive cycle. Fluttershy would fill her baskets and Big Mac would place them into his cart. Finally, Big Mac called for Fluttershy to stop and she flew back down landing in front of him. “Thank ya for yer help. Here, take this apple for the work ya did,” he said grabbing an apple in his teeth and offering it to Fluttershy. Fluttershy smiled and bit down on the other side taking it from him.

Back at the cottage all Discord could see was what appeared to be them kissing! WHAT?! How could she do this?! He’d been gone for four days and suddenly she’s all ‘friendly’ with the large, red farm pony?! He knocked the bucket over in his rage water spilling all over the floor. Discord stomped around unable to gather all of his emotions. He was furious and hurt that Fluttershy did this to him! No she did it not knowing he was watching she did this behind his back! What else had she been doing? Screwing the mailpony?! He ground his teeth and went up to her bedroom.

Discord thrashed around breaking anything he could get ahold of. This continued until his eyes met his reflection in a mirror. He stopped frozen in a sudden realization… how could she or anypony ever love him? He who was the scourge of all Equestria for centuries, he who betrayed everypony, he whose tale was used to scare little fillies and colts into behaving, and mostly he who was a misshapen freak of nature that looked worse than Frankenstein's monster? His eyes began to tear up, that was the word to describe him, monster...it seemed to be etched into his very soul. He wiped his tears away as he headed downstairs and sat on the couch waiting for Fluttershy’s return. Whether a monster can be loved or not, he wasn’t about to let her treachery go.

When Fluttershy got home it was dark and even darker still inside her house. Unable to see her own hooves in front of her she began stepping inside. The door slammed shut behind her and she saw a lamp on the table light up. She was nearly stricken backwards with surprise. “Well it seems somepony is home rather late,” he growled lowly.

Fluttershy stood still unable to speak or move from the shock of his harsh tone and the glare his eyes gave her. “Dis-Discord?” She asked. “I thought you were at the summit?”

“Oh Of course you did. Isn’t that why you went to Applejack’s brother and threw yourself all over him?” Discord replied venomously. “Now I see why you insisted that I go to the summit. Very resourceful Sluttershy.”

Fluttershy was hurt by his harsh words. What did she do? She had only helped Mac collect apples. “Discord I don’t know what you think happened, but nothing is going on between Big Macintosh and I. I had nothing to do so I went to Sweet Apple Acres and asked if they needed help. Granny Smith is sick and AJ said Big Mac has been doing all the collecting by himself. So I went to the orchard to help him,” Fluttershy said defensively.

Discord laughed wickedly. “Oh, my dear, but it isn’t what I think happened it is what I know happened,” he said with a snap. The image of her leaning towards Mac appeared, and Fluttershy had to admit it looked like she was kissing him instead of taking an apple. “No, that’s out of context. If you could see it at a different view you’d know I was taking an apple from him,” Fluttershy said stiffly.

Discord growled. “You know my dear lying does not become you, or I suppose it does since everything else I thought about you turned out to be one big charade!” He spat at her glaring daggers through his eyes. “How can you expect me to believe you when this is all the evidence we have and we can both clearly see who this supports!”

Fluttershy’s eyes began to fill with water as she felt her heart being stabbed by his sharp tongue. “Discord I would never do that to you!” She said hurtfully as tears streamed down her face. “Don’t you know that?”

Discord felt his heart ache as he saw his beloved cry, but he was far too into his rage for this to affect him. He wanted to believe her, his heart ached to believe her, but he couldn’t handle it if this whole relationship was a farce. “I used to,” he said as he teleported back to his chambers in Canterlot Castle. DIscord fell upon his bed heart torn apart by everything he felt and believed and saw and knew, it was all mixed up into a chaotic stupor...and for once he didn’t want chaos. He cried silently as he thought about his sweet angel, but he guessed that wasn’t true anymore, which hurt more than anything.

Fluttershy ran up to her destroyed room not caring about the mess and curled up on the bed crying hard and loud unable to control herself. Her heart felt like it had been ripped into pieces and set aflame. Her chest was heavy and her stomach hurt from the strength of her sorrow. She felt worthless as she thought of how Discord must see her now, and that is what hurt the most.
