Anons Rainbro

It felt like Solaris had a personal grudge against you when the sun shined right into your face this early. Groaning didn't make it go away and the pony sized lump sleeping on you didn't leave room to get away from the light. Settling for the uncomfortable right now you looked down the cyan pegasus.

Rainbow looked peaceful when he was asleep. His breath strong and steady, that technicolor mane covering most of his face. Not gonna lie, it was freakin cute.

Although his leg was in a weird position, it couldn't be comfortable. Wait, ponies only have four legs so what is... that's not a leg. That is Definitely not a leg. Fuck. How to do this without making it any more awkward. Blitz was a heavy sleeper but not that heavy.

The idea that came to mind made you feel like an asshole, but it was better than the 'sorry I got morning wood while sleeping on you' conversation.

“Sorry dude, it's for the greater good.”

Swiftly you roll off the couch and quickly make way to the kitchen, cringing after hearing a small groan. Rainbow was probably pissed yet not pissed enough to move from the spot he fell to.

“That hurt dude, what the hell?”

“Well you were sleeping on me again and I wasn't about to just lay there with the sun beaming into my eye sockets.”

He gave a small hmph and laid his head on the floor to try and go back to sleep. That's one problem down and one to go. Rainbow was hard to wake up most of the time, not much short of an earthquake would do the job. However having spent as much time together as you had learning how to get him out of a stupor was simple. One way was food, that at least got him awake enough to stop using you as a mattress. The second way got a more instant reaction.

Opening the fridge it seemed mostly bare except for, the nectar of the Gods. Grabing two cans of Superstar green apple energy drink you make your way back to Rainbow, who was still sprawled out on the floor. Sitting the can down in front of him gets an immediate reaction.

Rainbows head shoots up and a smile slips onto his features. Smiling, you sit cross-legged in front of the cyan pone and crack the can open. Rainbow Blitz does the same, downing at least a quarter of the can in one gulp. Instantly invigorated by the caffeine RB stands up, stretching all the kinks out of his joints.

“You might not have to do that if you actually slept on the couch instead of me.”

“Yeah? Well maybe if you got a better couch then I wouldn't be forced to.”

“Ouch dude, taking shots at my taste in furniture. However will I recover from such a devastating insult, oh woe is me.”

“Don't be so dramatic dork you've been spending too much time with Elusive, he's starting to rub off on you”

Looking Rainbow dead in the eyes, you smirk, then wiggle your eyebrows. Taking a moment to realize what you meant Rainbows face turned beat red.

“Gods you're such a pervert Anon!”

“Ha, what's the matter? Your the one who thought of it first.”

“Did not! That is nowhere near what I meant and you know it!”

“Whatever you say horndog, just try to keep your head out of the gutter.”

“My head is not in the gutter! It's... wait... what's a horndog?”

“Back home it means a person who's always horny, hence 'horn'dog.”

“I... You... Shut up!” You swear if Blitz got any more red he would probably pop.

Thinking the poor soul had enough it seemed like a good idea to stop teasing the pegasus.

“Alright, I'll stop, don't ruffle your feathers Blitzy.”

That seemed to get Rainbow to calm down, at least a little bit. His face was still red though. Still must not be comfortable with that kind of stuff. Ponies didn't seem to talk about anything like that, or even joke about it that often. Blitz was cool with it most of the time, even so he still got like this every once and a while.

“So you wanna go grab some breakfast from sugarcube corner before work?”

“Sure Anon but I got actual stuff to do today so it'll have to be quick.”

“No worries man, lets get going then.”

You get up and walk with Rainbow out of the house. The trail to town was one that the two of you had walked many times. The scenery passed by quickly and soon enough sugar cube corners bell rung signaling the arrival of new customers. Almost the instant the door shut a pink blur whizzed past you and tackled Rainbow. Bubble Berry was on his hind legs and seemed to be crushing Blitz with a bear hug. He tried to say something but the party pony was squeezing the air from his lungs.

“I'm sooo happy you're here Blitzy! You too Anon.” Putting the pegasus back down he tried to catch his breath but was hit with a verbal assault from Berry.

“What were you thinking of getting today huh? We have all kinds of superlicious goodies! Like chimmy cherries, cherry changas, cupcakes, churros, muffins, pies, and a whole lotta other stuff too!”

Having taken that brief moment to savor the air he was currently breathing Rainbow replied in a much less energetic tone than Berry.

“Yeah, that all sounds great Berry but I think I'll just take a bagle.”

The plain sounding order seemed to deflate Berry a little. He was still energetic, just not bouncing anymore.

Deciding to follow suit as to keep the pony reasonably calm seemed to be the best idea. “That sounds pretty good, I'll take a blueberry bagle.”

“Okie dokie, back in a flash.”

With that the pink pony trotted to the counter to get the beagles while you lead Rainbow to a booth. When Berry brought the food over you made sure to give him a nice tip. Never hurt to be generous and there wasn't much to buy besides groceries... maybe a little booze too.

“I don't know why he always does that, it's starting to get annoying every time I walk in here.”

Looking up from the bagle you can't help but smirk. “Don't be so harsh Blitz, it's just how Berry shows his affection. Honestly it seems he has more of that for you than anypony else.”

Hearing that Blitz started to cough, almost choking on his food. He looked up about to berate you for making fun of him again, then noticed you weren't laughing or grinning. Blitz suddenly found the table very interesting.

“Nothing to be worried about dude, just something I picked up on. Some ponies swing that way and its no biggie. Their life their call right? Just as long as they don't drag others into it, all's good.”

Rainbow didn't look up, eyes glazed over like he was somewhere else. “Yeah I get that, it's... just not my thing.”

Blitz slowly looked up at you, a question seeming to dance on the tip of his tongue. He decided against asking whatever it was he went back to munching on the beagle. It always sucked when Rainbow got like this but this time would be different. You didn't want to see your Rainbro down and you had the perfect idea for a pick 'em up.

“Yo Rainbro I was thinking how about we go out for drinks after work today? Have some fun at the Tipsy Owl. What do ya say?”

He stopped sulking for a moment to give you a skeptical look. “Anon, I don't even know how we managed to stumble back to your house after the last time we went. I think I'll pass on this one.”

Damn, you had hoped it wouldn't come down to this but there doesn't seem to be any other options. It's time to use the secret hidden technique, the guilt trip. Looking down at the table for a moment to prepare then look back up at Rainbow with eyes filled with sadness. A disappointed frown etched into your face.

“Oh, no. No. I will not fall for that crap again Anon.”

Not a muscle moved, it would work, it had to work.

“ I mean it Anon. I am not going to the bar.”

Tears started to form, as they did Rainbow cracked and slammed his hooves onto the table.

“Alright! Fine! I'll go, just knock it off. Its feels so wrong seeing you cry Anon. Like, you're a tough guy who I've seen win a freakin MMA match against a minatour. NOTHING should be able to make you cry.”

“Ha, well to be fair Iron Will was all talk no game. Could not take a punch for shit.”

“That doesn't matter he was still a MINATOUR.”

“Whatever dude, so after work I'll go shopping and then meet you there sound like a plan?”

“Yeah and I gotta get going now Anon. Thanks for breakfast, I'll see you tonight.”

“Peace out dude.”

With that Rainbow got up and trotted out of the store. It must be nice being so good at your job, most days you were pretty sure he worked for about two hours and napped the rest of the time. Not that it was hard being a contractor for Ponyville. Lots of variety, always something to do, helping out the town, and being able to meet a bunch of ponies was nice. Just seemed like you were the only one actually getting shit done sometimes.

Walking out the door and taking a short stroll to town hall the front desk mare waves as you pass by, like always. Returning the gesture and taking a left down to the hall a small room labeled 'supply' comes into view. It contained a locker that you kept work related stuff in: jeans, t-shirts, tools, gloves and boots.

Throwing on work clothes took no time at all and you walked out the room only to head directly to the Mayors office. She was the one who assigned all of the jobs. Thinking on it now she did seem really happy when you came to her and offered to do this. It had apparently been vacant for quite some time, no wonder if they had to do this much. Then again being able to work better than the average pone at most things surely helped.

Reaching the door and knocking you wait for a response. A muffled “come in” came from the room and you entered. It was clean enough, slightly disorganized to the average onlooker. Paper scattered here or there. Otherwise it was tidy. The mare behind the desk looked relieved to see her favorite worker.

“Good morning Anonymous, hope you're ready for today because I only have one job for you. There is a heavy rainstorm scheduled for today and the river will most likely flood. Seeing as to not damage the surrounding area I have a team already there setting up sandbags on the banks. All I need you to do is help out. I'm sure with your size and strength it won't take much time at all.”

One had to appreciate the 'strait to the business approach.' Not many bosses had to common courtesy to do that, guess you got lucky. Then there was the storm, Blitz was actually gonna have to work a full day today. Meaning that he is gonna be really ready for tonight! Awesome! That is gonna be a good time. First things first, knock out this sand bag job, get some munchies, then it's time to party.

“Oh yeah Mayor, I'll get that set up in no time flat.”

“Glad to hear Anonymous. I'll see you on Monday then.”

“Yup, see ya Mayor.”

After exiting town hall you head strait for the river. Finding earth ponies and a few unicorns building up the banks already. A few large carts loaded to the brim with sandbags were along the river at regular intervals. Looked like they got a fair sized portion done so far. On your approach a pony walks up to you. From his walk it would be a safe bet that he was calling the shots. Some douches get to lead a team then just act like everyone owes them something.

“You must be Anonymous, I'm Land Mass head of the team. We have some carts by the river so get to work and start building up the banks.”

Land Mass was a large brown earth pony stallion, with black shaggy hair, and a... continent? As a cutie mark. Looked like he busted boulders for shits and giggles. Even if that were the case he was still only a pony.

“No problem but hey it looks like you're pretty good at this type of stuff. So how about we have ourselves a little race? First one to lay down a quarter mile of these things gets to go home the other has to stay here and lead the team.”

The words didn't seem to get through to the stallion as much as your cocky smile did. Here was a guy he's never even met before calling him out on his special talent and trying to take his leadership role. That got him going.

“Alright fine but when I win you are gonna finish one side of this river by yourself.”

“Thats cool, cuz you're not going to beat me.”

You shook his hoof to seal the deal and with that he ran off to the closest cart and started to lay down bags. The stallion had to be delusional, thinking a simple head start like that would make a difference. Running to the other side of the river there was only one thing in your mind. Gotta beat Blitz to the bar.
