Out in the main room, Discord walked back in from the laundry cupboard, hearing the sound of the water running...and beneath it, another sound.

His lips curved into a curious smile as he recognised the tempo and pace of Inkspell's ragged breathing, barely masked by the sound of running water.

--So, he’s still hot and sweaty hm? I may need to get him over that before we go to the station to discuss the attack last night...--

He rubbed his paws together with a cackle of glee, so many ideas charging around his head...it seemed he'd been a catalyst in the sexual awakening of this sweet stallion.

So when a flushed Inkspell wandered out of the bathroom, he seen Discord lying on the bed, flicking through a magazine, eyebrows raised.

"Ah, there you are my little bed bunny~" he purred, throwing the magazine aside and patting the bed beside him. Inkspell clambered up, the towel still draped over his shoulders.

"Mmm, how're you feeling?" Discord asked "does your back hurt?"

"No, its much better now," Inkspell smiled softly "That medicine worked wonders..."

"Good, because I believe you need one more matter attended to before we leave..."

“W-what do you mean?" Inkspell stammered. Discord kissed him, murmuring softly;

"I heard you in the shower my sweet stallion..."

Inkspell went red.

"So my question is, are you still feeling, how shall I phrase this, horny?"

A squeak, and cue Inkspell burying his head in his hooves.

"So cute.." Discord chuckled "but we have a ways to go to stop you blushing every time I mention SEX."

More blushing and biting of his lip from Inkspell.

"How about...Bonking? Horizontal tango? Roll in the hay? Plowin' the field?"

More blushing, and Discord finally stopped spouting euphemisms.

"Now, I could just as easily just use my mouth, after all, you’ve experienced what I can do with my tongue~" a faint chuckle""buut...I think this calls for a serious plowing my dear boy..."

Inkspell gazed up at the Draconequus, wondering did he mean he'd do him in that form? The thought of THAT made a fresh pulse of curiosity race along his body, one part in particular.

Discord vanished, appearing behind his lover. Warm paw-tips pressed against his rear, pushing into his body just enough to make him fully aroused.

"Ah...please.." Inkspell blushed again, torn between what he wanted and what his soulless parents had taught him. Getting so carried away like this was new, but exciting...

"Mmm, even your own body is begging for it..." the paw-tips pushed further into him, and Discord gave a little moan "mm, so hot inside..."

He appeared back in front of Inkspell, rubbing his pawtips together, a clear, sticky substance coating them.

"What do you say, dear boy?" He transformed into a pony, wings fluffing up and snapping out with a groan from the pony-dracon "mm, yes that’s good.."

Inkspell briefly thought about telling him he didn’t have to change. He...he'd LIKE Discord to be Discord...fully. But his eyes came to rest on the other ponys- his mind blanked, and he lost his train of thought.

"Y-yes..." he said huskily, squirming as like Discord said, his own body pleaded for the other to satisfy him...

"Good boy..." Discord kissed him teasingly, then got up and moved to stand behind him.

He ran his hooves over Inkspell's sides, then over the pony's cutie mark, before anchoring his hoofs at the pony's hips.

"Lift your rump up, my gorgeous Inkspell, higher, that's it..." Discord tutored him how to best position his body so he could enter him with ease...and maximum pleasure.

Inkspell felt the heat of the others body as he thrust into him, and he fought to stop from collapsing from sheer ecstasy.

Discord stayed still a moment, just relishing in the heat and enticing, musky scent of Inkspell's body. He pushed until he was fully inside, the other pony's body stretching to accommodate him. The dear boy had been having quite a physical time since the previous evening. But Inkspell's body seemed capable of taking the strain…

--Sweet Celestia he has quite the endurance doesn’t he?-- Discord mused.

"Ready?" he said softly, gently running one hoof over Inkspell's back, making him shiver and squirm, which made a wonderful jolt run down his body.

"Y-yes.." Inkspell managed to persuade his brain to use words, although the pleasure was making it hard to think...

"Yes, what?"

"Y-yes, Discord..." Inkspell panted.

"That’s my boy..." he grinned, before pulling out most of the way, then thrusting deep into him once more. A delicious shudder ran down Inkspell's body. He felt Discord start off with slow, languid thrusts, before giving in to temptation and picking up the pace.

With every new movement, he felt Inkspell's body relax, the tension rapidly easing, and he soon noticed the aide was digging his hooves into the bed and pushing back ONTO the organ plunging in and out of his body. He was calling out Discord's name, begging him to keep going...

Soon Discord could feel the tension building up inside him, ready to release-

"D-Discord I’m...I’m going to..." He heard Inkspell's flustered speech and pushed even faster, and soon enough:

His wings hurt they were so tense, the flight appendages twitching as he came.

Inkspell was aware, behind the rush of his own climax, of a familiar, hot sticky substance filling him, trickling down his thighs as Discord finished. For a few moments they were both silent, as the heady feeling of pleasure began to fade...

"Oh, that was exquisite my dear boy..." Discord reluctantly pulled out, and noticed the overspill.

"Oops, you may need another wash my precious Inkspell..." the dracon-pony grinned as he lay down next to a trembling Inkspell.

Inkspell shifted onto his side and smiled at Discord. In the early morning light, his coat sparkled, with a faint sheen of sweat highlighting the effect. He looked like a beautiful crystal statue come to life. And that smile, oh sweet Celestia...

"What’s wrong"? Inkspell asked, seeing Discord flat out staring at him. The dracon-pony shook his head, and kissed him deeply.

"Just admiring how cute you look after a good bonking my dear boy~" he chuckled softly "I do declare you’re irresistible.."

He nuzzled Inkspell's neck, feeling the pony's pulse racing rapidly beneath his coat.

--You’re something else entirely my precious aide, I don't think I can ever give you up. I intend to keep you by my side, whatever it takes.--

He was distracted from his thoughts by Inkspell snuggling even closer and kissing him. They got caught up in a pretty heavy session of kissing and snuggling, before realising they had to get up eventually...

As they reluctantly made to head for the shower, Inkspell noticed the bed was once again splashed with fluids, and flushed, starting on removing that sheet too. Discord chuckled;

"We're going to need to do some washing later. That or buy you new sheets!"

Inkspell nodded, blushing contentedly. It’d felt even better then before, being taken from behind. He told Discord as such, that he hadn’t done it THAT way in so long he'd forgotten how amazing it felt...

"Another new thing to explore...ooh, I have some wonderful ways to...TOY with you as it were..."

Inkspell thought he detected something behind the emphasised words, but he was too shagged out to think straight.

After a second quick wash, they set out for the police station. Inkspell was quizzed about the attack, what he knew etc. By the end of it, his mind was whirling and he was glad to get to work...

Late the next afternoon, the couples increased libido came back to bite them in the ass.

Discord had been flicking through a book, one with admittedly shameless sex scenes in it, and one had struck him as being reminiscent of his and Inkspell's little playtime the prior morning. The description of the sensual rutting the dominant stallion had given the shyer, submissive one..

It made him flash back to that dream, and he shook his head to dismiss it.

---Bad Discord, don’t go pouncing on the poor fellow!-- he told himself there was still a ways to go with teaching the submissive Inkspell how to handle HIM…

Dangit, he wasn’t getting out of this any time soon, Inkspell was right there, so tempting…

He stared into space, trying to suppress his lust daydreams.

Inkspell glanced up under his fringe, spotting the cover of the book and raising an eyebrow. he knew that one as well, it was VERY graphic, certainly it'd made him blush a fair bit.

Some minutes after, after witnessing the Draconequus fidgeting out of the corner of his eye, he heard Discord cough and mutter something about bathrooms. In a flash of impulsiveness, he teleported so he was straddling the Draconequus, stopping him from getting up.

"Oh, what's this?" Discord raised an eyebrow "something the matter, my dear boy?"

"Y-yes.." Inkspell felt his new-found impulsive streak making a run for it "I know what you’re setting off to-" An eyebrow raise and a chuckle from Discord, but he continued, blushing "a-and I think its only fair, after everything you’ve done for me..."

"You want to return the favour, is that it?" Discord raised an eyebrow, this was starting to turn out like that dream he'd had last night. He kissed Inkspell lightly, imagining those lips.....

The book slid from his paw and fall onto the couch. It fell open to one of the raunchier chapters; and both glanced down at it;

"Tastes good, no?" The bigger stallion studied the dazed expression on his lovers face, as the slimmer pony licked his lips, mopping up any stray droplets.

Without waiting for a response he pulled his lover onto his lap, and kissed him, smiling at the salty-sweet taste on his lovers lips.

"For a first timer, you did exceedingly well," this compliment made his sweet little bed-partner blush.

"Now, lets see what we can do to you in return, mm?"

What Discord had said that morning about getting him in such a manner ran through Inkspell's mind. He and his last colt-friend HAD tried doing this once, but it’d been an awkward affair. But this was Discord, someone he cared about, who’d opened his mind to so many new things...

"I-I've never...not fully..." he blushed.

"My advice is, deep breaths, and just do what comes naturally...ooh, that's a euphemism too!" Discord chuckled.

But he was distracted from starting another raid on his supply of innuendos as Inkspell, a determined look on those cute features, shuffled back, and down...

Discord didn’t bother trying to hide how excited he was, and he seen Inkspell blush at the size of it.

To Inkspell, it looked BIGGER in this form. He was certain. Nevertheless, he felt his heart pound as he licked his lips. He took a deep breath to steady his nerves, flashing back to his former date, what little they’d done together....and tossed all that out the mental window.

He started with just the tip and even that made the Draconequus squirm.

"That’s it dear boy...more..Mmm, that’s good....use that talented little tongue of yours-nnh!" Discord groaned as he felt Inkspell taking him in. Inkspell's eyes fluttered closed as he became accustomed to the engorged organ..

Inkspell could feel his heart racing, excitement like never before pulsing through his veins. He'd never taken such a bold step before...the taste was intoxicating, and they weren’t even finished. Its presence filled his muzzle, as he pushed himself further, to go beyond his shy self...

--Goodness, for somepony who's had so little experience, you know how to use that tongue of yours, dear boy..-- Discord thought absently, as he tangled his paws in Inkspell's mane, easing further into his lovers mouth. Inkspell's ears were twitching and trembling, signs of nerves and excitement.

He didn’t catch onto the fact Inkspell didn’t seem bothered he wasn’t in his pony form...

Needless to say they were both pretty shocked when the door opened, and a loud Princess-y shriek met their ears.

Celestia was stood outside the door, head cocked to one side. She was trying to decipher the sounds she was hearing from inside discords office. She was no prude, and no stranger to the sexual arts, so she was growing more and more certain by the second that something was going on. She summoned a box of popcorn, this was rather entertaining...

"Sister?" she turned.

OOPS. Luna.

"What art thou doing? Staring at a door and eating sweets?"

"Yes..?" Celestia grinned sheepishly "I’m done, lets go-!"

"What in your name is going on in there- what a racket!" Luna shoved the door open with one hoof. Celestia panicked, shooting after her "Luna don-"

Luna clocked was going on, and shrieked.

"MOST UNCOUTH!" She bellowed, stamping a hoof and making an obstacle between her and what she and her sister had just seen pop into existence.

What had they seen?

Well, sadly (for Luna anyway) the angle of the floating couch had not prevented an all out assault on their eyes, not that Celestia seemed too fussed. Discord leaning back against the arm of the couch, claws tangled in a stallions mane. The angle they were posed in left no alternative but to assume the sexiest thing. Their eyes locked with Discord's, who went as red as a radioactive tomato-

And thus, with a poof of magic, a massive banana tree appeared, its foliage blocking the view.

Luna heard Celestia go "aw," sounding almost disappointed. Then the sun Princess noted what TYPE of tree it was.

"Bananas?" Celestia enquired after an uncomfortable pause, looking at her sister in amusement, eyebrows raised "really..?"

Luna realised the implication and face-hoofed.

"Its not what it looks like.." Discord waved at them over the bananas leaves "wait...what does it look like?"

“What dost thou THINK you over-sexed chaos beast!" Luna roared, and Celestia motioned her to lower her voice.

"Discord.." she sighed "when will you learn you cant solve a problem by shagging it?"

"He’s not a problem!" Discord said smugly.

"We gathered THAT!" Luna hissed.

Ducking back out of sight Discord was heard to say "if you're going to sit there with your jaw hanging open, I can find a use for this banana!"

An incoherent sound, then-

"Mmph!" clearly he'd followed through on that threat by the sounds of it.

“Ooh, a good fit!”

Celestia suppressed her giggles and spoke "Yes, but you’re still sh-"

All this was too much for poor Inkspell, who got the banana out of his mouth, and decided to hide, preferably before exploding in embarrassment. A flash of light distracted them all, and Discord was heard to call his lovers name.

Then he detected the unicorns magic from where he'd teleported to, and chuckled;

"You do realise-"

“Yes, I'm aware its a closet, I get the irony." a furiously embarrassed voice drifted through the wooden door. Celestia couldn't suppress her amusement and started to laugh with glee.

Luna stared at her sister as the other Princess had to sit down with a bump, she was laughing so hard.

"What’s so funny?!" she blurted "explain, sister!!"

"I- pfft.." Celestia was clutching her sides "oh it's been many a century since I walked in on something like that! Back a ways, ponies cared not for locking doors...."

"Get a good eyeful did you?" Discord huffed, folding his arms and getting his red face under control. Talk about killing the mood!

"Regrettably yes!" Luna huffed "we wish we could wash our eyeballs!"

"Oh don’t be such a stick in the mud Luna dear!" Discord appeared beside her, flicking her ear. She pushed him away, glowering;

"We don’t need to hear about where thou art sticking ANYTHING, Discord!"

"Ooh, that’s a GOOD one, Princess!" he chuckled, making Luna flush again.

"Discord, enough!" Celestia stepped between them before Luna gave the Draconequus a good kicking, she could see her sister was getting angry...

"Fine, fine.." Discord dismissed the matter with a flick of his hand. "now you've ruined the fun, what do you want?"

"I want to talk to you, BOTH of you. Separately. You wait here, I’ll just borrow your assistant a moment!"

She teleported from sight, then her voice was heard inside the closet "oof, bit cramped in here! There, gotcha!"

Then she reappeared, with a confused Inkspell slung over her back. the stallion seemed too stunned to move. "I’ll return him shortly."

Then she was gone.

"Banana?" Discord asked Luna, who twitched.

"I’m not going to bite," Celestia repeated as Inkspell sat as hunched up he could, gaze transfixed on the floor. The poor stallion was on the verge of crying, he was so wound up by all this.

Inkspell just squeaked.

"You're not in trouble...although I fear Discord will get a flank kicking from my sister if he makes any more jokes..." she chuckled. But she was startled when poor Inkspell truly DID start crying then, doing his best to muffle the sound, his floppy fringe hiding his eyes. His coat dulled in front of her eyes, and she was once again amazed by how crystal ponies showed much of their feelings in this way. Well, strong feelings anyway...

It was while she was tilting her head at a funny angle to get a look at his face under that mane, when she seen bruises on his chest, and straightened up.

"What’s happened?" she asked, worry edging her voice. "Tell me he DIDN'T-"

"W-what?!" Inkspell slowed his tears, and looked down at himself, then up at the shocked Princess. Putting two and two together he shook his head, franticly waving a hoof at her "nonono, please don't misunderstand-!!"

He took a deep breath "these bruises are from a FIGHT. And not with Discord. I got into a scuffle with some thugs, no big deal! Please don’t be angry at him!"

"I'm not, just very concerned...what happened?" Celestia winced, they looked on the mend, but the colouration of the bruising was painful to look at!

"I tried to stop them attacking another stallion, they didn’t take kindly to it. They came after me, b-but Discord, he...he knocked them out and handed them over to the police ponies!"

Celestia raised an eyebrow, surprised Discord hadn’t taken to shutting them in his chaos realm, he'd done that once or twice, and its made those imprisoned twitchy for weeks.

"T-the matters being handled P-Princess...it was just something from my last job..."

"Your last job, at the empire?"

A nod.

"I brought the matter to Prince Sombra's attention, but the boss escaped jail before his highness could pass judgement..." Inkspell shivered as he recalled that incident, how scared he'd felt, and how kind Sombra had been to him.

"Yes, he did mention it. I will inform of this, he may wish to speak with you." Celestia accepted this with a nod.

A nod from Inkspell too.

"Now.." Celestia's voice took on a motherly tone "there's no need to be embarrassed, I just have a few questions..."

She made them both some tea, and began asking questions.

"Are you under any coercion? I know Discord can be...manipulative. He’s a chaos being, it's in his nature to be very persuasive."

"No! No!" Inkspell shook his head vigorously "not at all! Please trust me your majesty!"

"Its all right, you don’t need to keep bowing, this is all strictly informal..."

Gradually, between bouts of Inkspell turning so red she was concerned he would pass out, she got the whole story. How Discord had wound him up, calling him a doormat. Inkspell had retorted how dare he- and Discord had laughed, saying he found him amusing. Then he'd tried to guess what Inkspell had meant by "I’m a freak", and had seemed confused by Inkspell's fears.

"You see, Princess..." Inkspell's expression took on a distant gaze "I was so used to begin alienated and told I was a freak I wasn’t expecting anypony, or Draconequus to see me the way Discord does. I know he seems like he doesn’t give a flying- well, you know- but I don’t know how else to say it, he's the first to treat me special for who I am, he didn’t force me into anything!"

Celestia studied his body language, the way his eyes softened, and he looked happy when he spoke of Discord. Had this shy, sweet natured stallion somehow gotten discords attention good and proper? As opposed to yet another fling?

"Do you...love him?" she heard herself ask. Inkspell jumped, and looked up at her, his heterochromatic eyes wide. Then he blushed again, bit his lip and then nodded.

"Perhaps it is foolish of me, naïve even. I mean, he could have somepony more experienced if he wanted someone on his level. But he...he tells me I shouldn’t hide away. That I shouldn’t..."

This gave Celestia food for thought.

--I don’t think its somepony experienced Discord seeks. He wants somepony who can understand his pain, of being alone. Seems this stallion knows it more than most he's encountered. But does Discord feel as strongly for HIM?--

"Be ashamed?" she finished Inkspell's previous sentence "He's right my dear. You’ve done nothing wrong. Discord himself knows a lot about acceptance of who he is, he was quite the troublemaker before he met Fluttershy.."

“Who's Fluttershy?"

“A dear friend of my dear Twilight Sparkle. I tasked her with helping Discord reform his trouble making ways. She did so admirably. There is a lot to this story, but I suggest you ask Discord himself. It's unfair of me to tell you, its HIS story."

Inkspell nodded.

"There is one thing that concerns me. I personally do not intend to penalise you for your relationship with Discord, but there are those who WILL. They’ll use the fact that your his assistant to claim harassment or abuse of power. It is with this in mind, I’m reluctantly dismissing you from your current position..."

A loud "WHAT?!" was heard, and the next second Inkspell was scooped up in the Draconequus' hold, with the bigger being shielding him.

"Learn to KNOCK, Discord.." Celestia sighed "where's Luna?"

"I left her playing with the bananas!" Discord said. Inkspell and Celestia both wore looks of "uhh..." before Discord clarified.

"I gave them hooves and eyes, called them banana ponies and left her trying to shepherd them around the room! It distracted her enough for me to escape!"

Celestia sighed softly, then returned to being cross at discord for barging in.

"Since you're here Discord, I will speak with you NOW."

"Could you give us a moment my little Inkspell?" Discord murmured to the other. Inkspell nodded, bowed to Celestia before excusing himself once more and scuttling out of the room.

Discord gave a theatrical sigh and draped himself over the chair "ask away!"

"I wont hide the amount of times I’ve caught you hitting on both the staff and pony else, let alone the amount of times I’d get rumours of one night stands. What makes this one so special?"

Discord sighed, fell silent for a minute, and when he spoke, Celestia was surprised at the honesty in his voice "Truthfully, I don’t know. It started just as teasing him, I figured he was just another bland doormat! But when he got mad and spoke back, it was amusing, he looked so honestly outraged. But the way that fire faded once I found out his preferences..." he gave an angry huff "Well, it simply got to me. After everything Fluttershy had taught me about tolerance, seeing him so AFRAID was a shock. I haven’t seen anypony that on edge since the last time I was awake!"

Celestia nodded thoughtfully.

"He was practically crying when I inadvertently forced him to admit he was gay. The first thing I thought was "WHY?". Why was he so scared? Seems his family are utter bores, treating him likes he's a disgrace because of his sexuality. THAT bothered me. I imagined how Fluttershy and the other girls would treat him, and it hit me: they’d love him! Yet he despises himself so. Thus I figured id make him smile, but something about him...using him as a one time fling felt abhorrent!"

This surprised Celestia, but she didn’t show it. Discord however, wasn’t fooled by the princesses façade;

"I know about my track record Celestia, you can wipe that look off your face." He sighed "Go ahead, laugh, but this ones something worth keeping, that’s all I’m saying."

Celestia nodded "My apologies, I shouldn’t try to fool, you. I'm surprised, I’ll admit, given as you pointed out, you have a bedpost of many notches from previous escapades."

She took on a serious expression as one thought bubbled to the surface "BUT, do you know he's falling for you?"

Discord jolted slightly. While he'd entertained the hope the sweet little stallion would remain his for awhile longer, he hadn’t allowed himself to think about that.

"He said that?"

"Indeed." Celestia arched one eyebrow, studying his face to see how he'd react "He used the "L" word, as its nicknamed."

"Lesbians?" Discord looked puzzled.

An annoyed sigh, "no, the PROPER L word."

"Oh, of course..." Discord flushed. But his heart was racing. Inkspell was in love with him?

"I want to know, before I proceed any further, just how dedicated your fascination with him is. I kid you not when I say he could lose his job if anypony else found out. I at least can help you both out. But it will be for naught if this is just another notch-"

"Don’t you speak about him that way!" Discord got up close and angry "that dear boy has been entirely unafraid of the fact I’m not a pony by nature! He didn’t even bat an eyelid when I first met him! I had to disguise myself to get what I wanted from others, never told them who I was! That little cutie knew from day one, and he still let me have him!"

He was startled a second later by Celestia pulling that scrunch face she made when she was on the verge of giggling.

"What’s so funny!" Discord threw his arms in the air in frustration, what was WITH Celestia today? Any more cryptic nonsense from her and he'd write "please solve" on her forehead-

"I just wanted to be sure. What I’m proposing could be seen as favouritism to some. I wanted to make sure you aren’t intending to discard him as some of your former flings."

Discord glared at her, "Touché..." he grumbled. He'd kinda walked right into that one, really!

After a moments pause, something else occurred to him;

"You don’t seem shocked my dear Celestia?" Discord looked at her. She chuckled.

"I have seen how much love can change a pony, or any other being."

“Are you talking about Sombra?"

"Yes. Once he began to trust all of us, he was so much happier. And when he met his wife, well, he finally let go of the nightmare he'd grown up in!"

Discord nodded. When he'd met Sombra, he'd been startled by the change in the former tyrant, and it wasn’t just the outward physical changes; but his entire outlook!

"How is that family of his anyhow?" he asked.

"Very good, they’re expecting a baby soon, I believe. Little Bright Spark can hardly wait to meet her half-sister..."

"Ah yes, I recall her, the tiny little ball of energy..."

"Indeed, she's a sweet child. Now, I need to discuss your future with your partner…"

What she proposed was almost unheard of, and she stressed once again she was taking a risk doing this so abruptly. But staff changes weren’t all that uncommon, so hopefully nopony would really notice...

“Then why ARE you doing it Celestia?” Discord asked, staring intently at her “what does it matter to you if I care about one stallion above all others?”

“I guess you could say working with Sombra has given me a lot think about. He turned out to be so different from what I’d assumed he was, and all it took was a little understanding...”

"Dratted things! Obey thy moon Princess!" Luna bellowed as the banana pones raced around her hooves, refusing to do so.

Three that were trying to make a bolt for the door were suddenly caught in a swirl of magic. Luna looked up, seeing a quiet, familiar stallion standing just inside the door.

"Aha! We thank you for returning them!" She had constructed a small fort out of all discords books, and was keeping the banana pones inside it. "That’s the last of them..."

She noticed Inkspell hadn’t spoken a word, and glanced at him.

"Art thou feeling OK?" she asked. A mute nod, but he looked worried.

"It was awkward, but perhaps we should have heeded our sister and not barged in so, even if that is NOT what an office is for!"

A nod.

"You CAN talk, we wont bite. Or scream." She added as an afterthought.

"I’m sorry Princess..." he spoke to the banana pones, who bounced as high as they could to see him.

"We are over here!" She said sternly, pointing at her face. She noticed he'd been crying and frowned "what is upsetting thee? Did Discord-"

“No!” Inkspell blurted "He's not doing anything mean to me! Why does everypony think that today?"

"Well, aside from those bruises, we KNOW Discord from the past. He hasn’t exactly had a good record in the past..."

"He's not mean! Yes, Princess Celestia did say something about that stuff in his past, she mentioned Fluttershy and the others helped him get better at making friends.."

"They did indeed, but one cannot so easily remove the chaos streak from one born of chaos. It is in his nature to revel in confusion..."

"I will ask him about it," Inkspell said firmly "but if he doesn't want to say anything, I...I wont judge him for it. We all have things were not proud of, I have things in my past I'd rather hide away forever..."

Luna nodded, accepting this "thou maketh a good point, we too share that burden. Perhaps we were too hasty. Times have changed from when we were banished. Sexuality is far more open now. Ponies seem to show it off with wilful abandon, and it puzzles us a little. But we will adapt. And mayhap Discord has more potential then we credit him. Thou art happy, correct?"

Inkspell blushed, and nodded "Yes. I’ve had many failed relationships simply because I could not express who I was, tried to keep everything hidden. In the end it drove former attempts at colt-friends away, I was too afraid to trust my partners. But Discord, he didn’t treat me like a fool, he made it clear from the start what he wanted. He didn’t laugh when I felt out of my depth. He called me cute.." he flushed at the reminder.

Luna studied him thoughtfully. He'd said a lot in so many seconds. he was clearly intelligent, sharp witted, and very kind hearted.

"Well, it seems you may have captured more than just his eye if what you tell us is true. That is remarkable..."

"Boo!" Discord popped up behind them, making Luna screech and Inkspell squeak in fight. Both gave him funny looks, and Discord cracked up laughing.

"Oh, you caught the banana pones I see..." Discord snapped his finger and they returned to being bananas. Luna bid the little mischief makers a goodbye with an amused smile.

Celestia walked in after him, chuckling "right, we've come to an agreement..."

Inkspell listened as he was told he was going to be given a NEW role, as Discord's equal in this job, no longer an aide. They’d be legally recognised as business partners. he was stunned, but so relieved he felt about to collapse. he thanked her profusely, vision blurring with relieved tears.

"I suggest you both clear out for the day, it seems to me you've had enough excitement for one day." Celestia winked at Inkspell, who went bright red.

Discord didn’t waste a second, pulling bouquets of flowers from thin air and giving them to the Princesses before grabbing his partner and zooming out the room, hollaring something about finding a bar for a drink!

"Well that was interesting.." Luna said in the silence, and Celestia smiled in agreement.

"It good, that he's finally found somepony to challenge how he thinks of himself. It seems they provide each other with what they need most.."

Luna nodded, then looked at the sheer number of yellow fruits abound "what do you propose we do with these bananas?"

"I have a few ideas.." Celestia mused."I suggest smoothies, or a milkshake!"

Luna nodded, and they began rounding up the bananas...

Author's Note

You'll never be able to look at a banana the same way again, especially if its next to some apples...or oranges...im gonna shut up now.

Many thanks to Lycanthromancer, who came up with the banana idea, and got me out of a writers block! ^__^
