The sun shone through the window, a slight breeze could be felt around the room. Godson clenched his eyes shut more than it already was as the sun tried to blind him, even while his eyes were closed.

He slowly opened his eyes, only to instantly shut them as the sun attempted to attack him with blindness. He moved his head slightly, taking his eyes away from the sunlight. Once the sun was out of his eyes, he opened them.

The first thing he woke up to was a sleeping Rainbow Dash, her forelegs and rear legs wrapped around him, she rested her head on his pillow, allowing them to be closer together, practically breathing the same air. The mare in front of him cooed softly in her sleep, carrying a content smile as she snuggled closer to him.

He smiled warmly at the adorable sight, he noticed his own arms were wrapped around her. Taking advantage of this, he tightened his grip on her, pulling her even closer to him. As he slowly began to wake up completely, he began to notice a few notice a few things about the mare he held. Besides the fact they were in his bedroom, her mane was disheveled, her wings were all ruffled, evidence of the events that transpired last night.

Speaking of last night… Weren’t they on the couch?

Godson examined the area he was lying on, noticing they were indeed in his bed. He’d ask how he got here, but as it’s just the two of them in his house, it’s most likely he carried her here.

Dash stirred in her sleep, mumbling something he couldn't quite understand. He immediately froze in place as she moved, trying to keep her asleep for just a little while longer.

It worked for the most part, as her random mumbling slowly died down. He sighed a breath of relief, only for the mare to tighten her grip on him. “My human…” She muttered softly, scooting herself lower as she nuzzled into the crook of his neck. “Mine…”

His heart warmed at the cuddly mare’s actions. It was a bit of a surprise to see how much of a soft side she has, even though he somewhat expected it. He just didn’t expect her to be so…

Adorable.

His hand slowly found his way to her head, idly stroking her mane softly as he continued to lay in bed.

She shuffled as he petted her, her eyes slowly opening as she began to wake. She noticed her current position, and took it to her slight advantage.

Godson jolted in surprise as he felt something soft, warm, yet moist press against his neck. He wanted to look down, but he also didn’t want to accidentally bonk her in the head by moving his head. After a few seconds, he figured it was Dash, playfully licking his neck.

And he was right, Dash started licking at his neck, slowly travelling up more and more until she was face to face with him once more. She carried a playful smirk on her face as she stopped her licking right at his chin.

“Good morning~...” Dash cooed.

“Good morning…” Godson replied softly. “Enjoy your sleep?”

“You have no idea…” Dash said with a giggle. “You?”

“I slept good, yeah.” Godson nodded.

“Good…” Dash muttered, stifling a yawn. “Ugh, I’m tired…”

“I bet you are, after everything that happened last night.” Godson joked.

“Ohhh… But it was so worth it…” Dash smiled.

Godson chuckled softly at the mare’s response. Then, he remembered something. After mentioning last night, something was immediately brought to his attention.

“Well. I’m glad you enjoyed it.” Godson said abruptly, leaning in for a quick peck. “But I just remembered something.”

“Can it wait a couple of hours…?” Dash murmured. “I wanna snuggle some more, I need more sleep.”

“Sorry, Dashie...” Godson shook his head. “It just can’t wait, I just remembered I’m out of bleach, and I really need to go get some before the market closes.” He explained, slowly getting off of bed.

Dash whined as he left her alone in the bed. “Gonna use it on the couch?”

“No, shuddap.” Godson retorted, quickly walking out the room.

“Clean it real good, ya never know when we’re going to use it again!”

”Shut up!”

“You’re in your underwear!”

…

Godson walked back into the room, pointing a finger at Dash as he walked into the bathroom. “Shuddap.”

Dash simply bursted into laughter.

Godson groaned as he walked through the town he now calls his home. Nearly everypony in town had already gotten adjusted to the human living there. At first, most of the townsfolk were scared out of their minds over the large human, despite they would be the same size as him, if not taller, if they stood on their hindlegs.

Other ponies were simply curious over the new creature, and some even went as far as saying hello to him.

Little by little, more ponies had mustered enough courage to talk to the human, and eventually, everypony simply treated him as if he was one of them. Which he was perfectly fine with, having too attention focused on himself probably wouldn’t be the best of experiences.

Of course, there were a few ponies who either haven’t met him, or are still scared of him.

Surprisingly enough, Ponyville does have a small indoor grocery shop, despite his assumptions. Kinda like the pony equivalent of Publix, only a little smaller, and no meat.

He entered the small store, quickly noticing how the store seemed very reminiscent to Publix back home.

Unfortunately, he barely went to Publix for grocery shopping, which only made his task seem a lot harder than he hoped, as the two stores were seemingly alike.

He took in a deep breath, and sighed, thus beginning his journey to find bleach.

Aisle through aisle the human checked, ignoring the fact each of them had their own labels with a few examples of the items it carried. He’d gone through several aisles, coming across foods, drinks, household supplies, and yet, no bleach.

“Why is bleach so hard to find?” He thought aloud.

During his frantic searching, he came across a certain yellow pegasus in one of the aisles.

Yet, before he could say anything, she spoke up first.

“Oh! Hey there, Godson.” Fluttershy spoke with a smile. “Surprise bumping into you here.”

“I know, right?” Godson smiled back. “Hey, I appreciate you watching Linda for me, I’ll stop by in a little bit to pick her up.”

“Oh, that won’t be necessary.”

“Why’s that?”

Just like that, he heard the soft sounds of paws running in his direction. He quickly turned around to identify the source of the sound, only to see his dog running towards him, holding a bag of dog treats.

“Woah.” Godson stood there, speechless. “How’d you get her to stop barking at everypony?”

“It was really easy, actually.” Fluttershy answered, grabbing the bag of dog treats from the dog. “I just asked nicely. And told her that the ponies here are really nice, and wouldn’t want to hurt her.”

“Sounds like I could use the staples button at this point.” Godson thought. “Speaking of which… I wonder if I still have the app, anyway…”

“Oh, my… You have an expensive taste, don’t you, Linda?” Fluttershy looked at the small dog.

“Huh?” Godson interrupted. “Flutters, I can pay for it, it’s no big deal.”

“I promised her I’d get any kind of treats she wanted.” Fluttershy admitted. “I can’t break my promise to her, it would just be unfair.”

Godson blinked at the mare’s strange reply, then immediately shrugged. “Right, I forgot that you can communicate with animals.” He looked at the dog next to him, simply sitting down, with her tongue poking out of her mouth. He was surprised to see how easily Fluttershy was able to train her to stop barking at the townsfolk, after only having her for one day.

“So, what are you doing here, anyway?” Fluttershy asked abruptly. “I thought Rainbow Dash was spending the night?”

“Oh, she did. In fact, she’s still in bed, sleeping.” Godson replied with a chuckle. “I would’ve stayed in bed with her, but I need to buy some supplies, though I’m having a little trouble finding the things I need.”

“What are you looking for?” Fluttershy tilted her head. “Maybe I can help, I know this shop like the back of my hoof.”

“Mostly just some bleach, and more dog food while I’m already here.” Godson explained, catching Linda’s attention at the very mention of dog food.”

“Hm.” Fluttershy placed a hoof on her chin. “Bleach is over on…” She took a few steps out of the current aisle she was, quickly catching the number of the other aisle she was thinking about. “Aisle 9.” She returned to her initial spot. “I hope you don’t mind me asking… But are you cleaning something white or color?”

“Uh… Color. Brown, actually.”

“Yeah, they have this new ‘color safe’ bleach, I haven’t really tried it, but it’s worth a shot, anyway.” Fluttershy added. “I don’t remember Rarity making any brown clothes…”

“Yeah, it’s uh… it’s for the couch…” Godson reached for the back of his head, smiling sheepishly.

“Oh!” Fluttershy gasped. “D-Does that mean you two are officially a couple, now?”

“Huh?” Godson raised an eyebrow. “What do you mean by that?”

“Um, i-it’s nothing.” Fluttershy immediately blushed. “It’s probably none of my business, anyway…”

“No, hold on a sec.” Godson shook his head. “What do you mean ‘officially a couple’?”

“You mean… you don’t know?” Fluttershy went wide-eyed. “I thought you would’ve known…”

“Don’t know what?” Godson copied her expression. “Flutters, what is it I don’t know, exactly?”

“Have you… um… y’know…” Fluttershy’s blush grew brighter, covering more parts of her face the more she thought about it.

“Have sex?”

Fluttershy nodded softly.

“Why’s that important?”

“Well, when two ponies… um… make love… for the first time in their relationship… that’s when they make it o-official…”

“So, like… marriage?”

Fluttershy shook her head. “I think Twilight would be better at explaining it more…”

Godson tried to wrap his head around the mare’s vague explanation, not wanting to upset her, he nodded in agreement. “Yeah, I’ll go ask Twilight in a little bit. Sorry for all the trouble.”

“Oh, it was no trouble at all… it was just a little uncomfortable trying to explain it…” Fluttershy’s voice suddenly got quieter at the end of that sentence, but then immediately returned to normal. “But, yeah, it’d be better asking Twilight.”

“Yeah, being the bookworm she is, she’ll know how to explain it.” Godson thought aloud. “Thanks again for all your help, Flutters.”

“Glad I was able to help.” Fluttershy smiled. “Oh, and… here’s the bits for the treats.” She leaned over to Linda. “I hope you enjoy the treats, Linda.”

And with that, she walked off, continuing the rest of her shopping.

“Welp. Time to go have a talk with Twilight…”

“You mean you don’t know?” Twilight tilted her head.

“Yeah, I know. That’s why I came here to ask you.” Godson facepalmed. “Of course I don’t know, why do you think I’m here asking you?’

“Right.” Twilight smiled sheepishly. “Of course you wouldn’t know, you’ve only been here for… four months now, right?”

Godson nodded. “That sounds about right.”

“Wow, these months have gone flying by, haven’t they?”

“Just a little bit…”

“Anyway…” Twilight got back to the main reason he was here. “Yeah, when two ponies… er… mate… for the first time in their relationship. It means that, right then, right there, they’re… how would I say this… ‘claiming’ each other. Thus, making their relationship ‘official’.”

“So… like, marriage?”

“Not at all.” Twilight shook her head. “Hm, perhaps I worded that wrong…” She placed a thinking hoof on her chin. “Uh… okay, forget the whole ‘claiming’ thing. Think of it more like… uh… Expressing their love to each other, but uh… different.”

“So, basically, having sex is just another way of saying ‘I Love You’.” Godson mused.

“You could say that, only, it means more than that.” Twilight paused as she tried to find the perfect words to explain it, she then had an idea based on his statement. “It’s like saying ‘I Love You’, yes, but it also means ‘I’d never leave you’, ‘I’m all yours’, y’know, that kind of stuff.” She continued. “But, minus the whole marriage thing. I’m going on a limb here and assuming it’s the same as it is in your world.”

“Should be. Wedding, marriage, rings, cake, all that stuff.”

“Yeah. It’s the same.” Twilight concluded. “Only difference between marriage and making one’s relationship with another ‘official’, is that marriage brings the couple to an even greater bond. As now they’re making a promise. A promise tha—”

“The usual marriage stuff, yeah.” Godson interjected. “But wait… what happens if you try having sex with someone else while you’re already ‘official’?”

Twilight instantly narrowed her eyes at the question. “You don’t want to know.”

Her quick reaction caused Godson widened his eyes in fear, knowing he’d rather not know. He nodded in response. “Good thing I have the only mare I’d want to be with…”

And with that, Twilight shifted her attitude, from serious to joyous. The shift in attitude also caused Godson more worry, but he figured as long as he doesn’t screw anything up, he’d be fine.

“Well, glad I was able to fill you in that.” Twilight smiled. “Otherwise who knows how much trouble you would’ve gotten into if you wouldn’t have asked.”

“Not much…” Godson crossed his arms. “It’s not like I was planning on screwing up my relationship with Dash.”

“Hm. I suppose you’re right.” Twilight commented. “Well, if you need any more help, don’t hesitate to ask, alright?”

“Of course!”

Godson slowly opened the door to his room, attempting his best to keep the mare asleep for as long as he can. He watched as his dog ran to the bed, jumping on top as soon as she got close enough. She maneuvered her way under the blankets, somehow not disturbing the sleeping mare.

He walked in the room, softly closing the door behind him. He stepped through the room as quietly as possible, getting closer and closer to the bed. Once he got close enough, he sat down on his side, taking off his shoes, then proceeded to lay down next to her.

The mare in front of him hummed softly, stirring around as she slowly opened her eyes.

“Oh, sure. When Linda gets in bed, you don’t feel it, but when I get in bed, you suddenly wake up…” Godson thought. “Hey there, Dashie…”

“Hey…” Dash smiled softly. “Cleaned the couch?”

“Yeah, I did.” Godson nodded. “Fluttershy told me about a ‘color-safe’ bleach, and I tried it out. Works pretty well.”

“That’s good…” Dash muttered. “So then… what’re you doin’ back here?”

“Gonna take a nap with my favorite mare, what else am I gonna do?” Godson replied with a soft laugh, covering himself with the blankets. “So… we’re officially a couple, now?”

“Mhm.” Dash hummed. “Wasn’t that the whole point of me asking you last night?”

“So was what happened afterwards.” Godson teased.

“Oooh… That’s right…” Dash smirked as she was reminded of last night’s events. “Is there something wrong with us being a couple?”

“Not at all.” Godson shook his head. “As long as it’s with you, I don’t care.”

“You’re not gonna even complain I asked too fast?” Dash raised an eyebrow.

Godson wrapped his arms around her. “You’re not the fastest mare in Equestria for nothing.” He pulled her closer to him. “I might’ve preferred you waiting a little bit longer before you asked… but, eh, I get it, you’re an impatient mare.”

“Thanks…” Dash murmured.

“Though, to be fair, I’m a bit impatient too.” Godson chuckled.

Dash laughed softly at the human’s comment. Wanting to get even closer to the human, she moved her rear legs around in an attempt to wrap his legs, but instead found something warm and furry.

“Uh… Godson?”

“Yeah?”

“Is Linda here?”

“In bed?”

“Yeah.”

“Yeah, she sleeps in the bed, too.”

“Has she always slept in the bed?”

“Ever since I’ve had her.”

Dash lifted the blankets, looking down at the dog, sleeping at the foot of the bed.

“Hm.” She uttered. “I guess I can live with that. Tank does the same thing in my house.”

“Your turtle?” Godson asked.

“Mhm.” Dash nodded with a hum. “Don’t worry about him, though. I left enough food that’ll last a couple of days. I’ll check on him in a few hours…” She wrapped her forelegs around the human. “But for now… I’mma cuddle with my human.”

“I wouldn’t have it any other way…”

Author's Note

Despite what you might think, this whole "official" thing is actually going to leave an effect on the story. You won't see it having much effect here for a while, but I promise, I planned this thing out for a reason.

Even though it kinda sounds like total bullsh*t that a five year old made up. But we're not here for a good story, we're here for something a few friends and I made purely for the sh*ts and giggles!

Besides, I've seen stories have their own logic for Equestria, so I figured why the heck not?

But at least you got some fluff.
