Chapter 3: Normal? I think not.

The sun pierced the darkness, carrying with it the torch of a new day, a small warm, rosy glow. The warm light shone through the windows of the Shadowbolts fortress, causing a few ponies to wake, some having been awake before the sun even came out. In one room, the light shone in brightly, causing the figure to grunt and groan. Slowly peeking out of the blanket, was none other than Ruin. He slightly scowled at the bright beams of light coming through his window, a glare plastered on his face as he tried to avoid the bright light. He dug his face back under the blankets and grunted. The bright light still seeping through the blankets, Ruin sighed in annoyance, eventually getting up and walking towards the windows to shut all the blinds and make his room dark, no light source to be found.He walked back to his bed, flopping down and curling up in the blankets. His door then opened, a light shining in and a figure looking in to see Ruin under his blanket. Ruin glared tiredly then popped his head out, glaring at the figure. His expression was tired and slightly annoyed but lightened up a little at the figure. He stuck his tongue out tiredly at the figure, pulling his head back into the blankets, Standing in the doorway was Moon, stoically looking at Ruin.

“Ruin. Get up.” Moon said, his tone was stern.

“No. I don’t wanna.” Ruin groaned.

“Ruin…. Get. Up.” Moon said, his voice getting more serious.

“Goddammit, no… I don’t have any reason or intention to get up…. If there’s chaos, yes.” Ruin growled, having gotten only an hour or two of sleep.

“Ruin. Now. We have training.” Moon said, his voice growing with more annoyance.

Ruin narrowed his eye into a tired and angry glare.

“I said NO. I will get there when I CHOOSE to. Until then, I am staying here.You can tell Nightshade that I will come out when I feel like it.” Ruin said, a yawn followed after.

He huffed before burrowing himself in the blankets and slightly curling up. Moon narrowed his eyes, getting annoyed with Ruin’s sudden attitude change. His eyes glowed as he used the crystals to grab his blanket and yank it off. Ruin’s eyes snapped open, black with white pupils, as he glared daggers at Moon. He slowly rose up from his bed and stepped down, walking up to Moon, glaring harshly before growling quietly and walking towards his closet. He opened it up and grabbed his suit then slowly slipped it on, standing on his hind legs as he started from there and slowly pulled it up. Moon glanced back every now and then, a light pink tint on his cheeks. Ruin stopped and looked up, his tired annoyed expression growing into a mischievous smirk. He fully put the suit on as he lightly shook his plot and ran a hoof up his side. Moon’s eyes widened then narrowed as his cheeks brightened up. He quietly growled and turned away from Ruin and started walking towards the door. Ruin cackled before yawning and finishing up with his suit. He zipped it up, leaving the mask down, some slight chest fluff sticking out of the suit.

“Awwwww did someone get wandering eyes?” Ruin snickered.

“Ruin, shut up.” Moon quietly growled under his breath.

Ruin grinned widely, still showing signs of exhaustion.

“Moony-Moon, admit it. You like my plot.” He said wiggling his plot slightly.

Moon snorted, turning away and heading towards the door.

“Just shut up and get your ass out here already.” He said, quite annoyed.

Ruin let out a tired giggle before following him out into the hallway, standing beside him. He stood short a few inches but wasn’t too short. No, that was Trance who was the midget of the fortress. Ruin smirked at Moon.

“So, Moony-Moon, what’s on the schedule today? Because it seems my schedule says…. Ah yes! Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep with you, and sleep some more…” Ruin said, sneering.

“Wait…. What was that one?” Moon said, eyes wide as he glares.

“Sleep. What else did you think I said?” Ruin asked, obviously knowing what he said.

“No… don’t try that… You said something other than just ‘sleep’...” Moon said, getting more curious and annoyed.

Ruin laughed and walked circles around him. His eyes flashed from black with white pupils, back to his yellow eyes.

“Ahh Moony-Moon… Always getting suspicious about something…. You, my dear Moon, need to relax.. You’re going to get grey hairs if you keep it up.” Ruin said with a wink.

Moon stared, his brows furrowed as he snorted before heading towards the gym.

“You know what? Why bother even asking you something? Just hurry up and get to the damn gym...” Moon huffed.

Ruin chuckled, letting out a yawn as he kept up with Moon, slightly quickening his pace to the gym before suddenly disappearing right in front of Moon. Moon just kept walking, slightly irritated as he pushed open the doors. He walked towards the line of Shadowbolts, catching Nightshade’s attention immediately.

“So? Where is he?” Nightshade asked.

After a minute of silence, Moon opened his mouth to respond.

“He w-” he was suddenly cut off.

Ruin shot his face out of Moon’s chest fluff, grinning like a deranged psychopath. Nightshade jumped back, shouting out multiple swears as she did so. Moon just stared, slightly disturbed.

“How are you inside me?!” Moon questioned, eyes wide.

“What? It’s not the first time!” Ruin clarified.

Moon took a deep breath, letting out a disturbed hum as he continued to stare at Ruin in disbelief and pure confusion as to HOW he got inside of Moon.

“Jeez, I thought you would have been the one planting your flagpole inside of Ruin, Moon…” Nightshade said, slightly surprised, a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

“Well there’s gotta be a balance, Captain!” Ruin cackled.

“Oh you’re right, Captain. It usually IS me planting my flag firmly into the ruins of Ruin.” Moon said, a stoic expression plastered on his face.

“Oh yeah, knowing you, I bet you ruin him all the time.” Nightshade says, a smug look upon her face.

Ruin sat there, a slightly annoyed facial expression as he slowly sunk back into Moon’s chest fluff. Moon stared down at his chest.

“Where the hell is he going?!” Moon stared, irritated.

“Wow, if you can’t feel Ruin, that says a lot about either of you two.” Nightshade said.

Moon stared flatly.

Thanks Cap-” Moon was cut off yet again.

“Hey! I’ll have you know I have destroyed the Moon plenty of times. And I will also have you know I am happy with my size and so is Moon. He is also not some whore.” Ruin said, popping out of Moon’s chest fluff again.

He then sunk back down, Moon attempting to grab him, but failing horribly. Nightshade just shook her head and sighed.

“So I’m assuming he’s not coming to training today?” Nightshade sighed in annoyance.

“I guess not.” Moon said, annoyed.

Moon wandered over to one of the machines on the farther right side of the gym. He added extra weights to it, but not too much. He laid back, using his wings to lift the heavy bar above his head. After lifting it up and down roughly 15 to 20 times, he raised it even higher as far as his wings allowed it. Ruin suddenly popped back out of Moon’s chest fluff, screaming and grinning in Moon’s face.

“That’s all you got?! Jesus! I think I’ve seen a dick with wings do better! And he’s crippled!” Ruin scoffed.

Moon slightly jumped, dropping the bar down right onto Ruin’s head, knocking him out of his chest fluff and onto the floor. Moon glanced down to see Ruin on the floor, shaking his head. Moon casually grabbed the bar and continued hoisting it up. Ruin stood up and shook off, snorting as he slightly glared side to side, looking at Moon,

“You saw nothing.” He huffed.

“You deserved it you batshit crazy whackjob of a pony.” Moon said, his voice filled with irritation.

Ruin rolled his eyes and grunted.

“Yeah yeah, suck a dick.” Ruin sneered.

Moon stopped, setting the bar down as he sat up and turned to Ruin, staring flatly with a raised eyebrow.

“Must we really go there? I thought we’ve made it clear that’s your job.” Moon said getting up and walking away

Moon walked away, leaving Ruin standing there, annoyed that he didn’t get the last word. Ruin suddenly appeared by his side, hovering upside down. Nightshade stopped working with Dash and a few others for a moment and caught up with Moon.

“Commander Moon, I do hope you know that I was joking about the whole planting your flagpole thing.” She chuckled, a smirk on her face.

“Oh I know. I just went along with it, Captain. Figured it was all just a bunch of jokes and none of it was true.” Moon shrugged.

“Wait…. We were joking…?” Ruin asked.

Moon stared, his eyes wide as he slightly furrowed his brow, nodding slowly.

“Yes…. we were…..” Moon said, the disturbed feeling returning to him.

“Oh…. well then… Well, I’m gonna go torture some ponies. Buh-bye Moony-Moon. Bye Nightshade.” Ruin said, diving back into Moon’s fluff and disappearing.

Moon stood there, glancing at Nightshade.

“I now feel slightly violated….” Moon said.

Moon put a hoof to his head, shaking his head.

“I’m going to go lay down…. I just want to forget this happened before I end up walking out of here with Ruin attached to my crotch.” Moon sighed.

“I can arrange that!” Ruin said, popping out from Moon’s chest fluff again.

“NO.” Moon shouted, shoving Ruin back down into his fluff and just walking out of the gym, trying to forget anything that just happened.
