Life from Another Flower

Chapter 4 - Sweet Affection

✽Wallflower✽

"That place is a hellhole" TS-1 said.

"The pain was just... it just... it hurt."

"How do you feel right now?" I ask him.

"Exhausted and not in pain thankfully." he replied.

"What's it like being in the dome?"

"Terrible. The fact you actually feel pain in there is the only reason why it's so bad. You get shot, it feels like a hot iron rod has been shoved right into your skin, then the burn gets to you and you just stand still acknowledging the pain for a second... than it hits you. And you scream in pain." He said.

"Why did she put me in there?"

"I don't know. I'm not allowed to see that kind of information. Yes, I may be her assistant but I'm not a unicorn with amazing magic to use and impress her. More milk?" I asked.

"Please do." He said back.

"You're baking is as amazing as your personality." He said.

I blush again, only I can actually feel my blood rushing to my cheeks. I feel hot and sweaty. I leave the room and go into the kitchen to go get the milk. When I open the fridge and close it, I see a mouse trying to open the cookie jar. I gently open it and gave the mouse a cookie.

"Strange..." I asked myself.

"Where have I seen this before?"

"If you gave a mouse a cookie... Meh I don't know."

I grab the milk and head back to TS-1.

It's 10:12 P.M. and I'm already feeling tired, though TS-1 probably feels 10 times as worst as me. I go up to him and ask if he's okay.

"TS-1" I whisper too him.

"TS-1"

He turned to look and stretched a bit. Oh, he was sleeping. He mumbled a bit.

"Uh. Yes Wallflower?" He asked.

"Are you feeling okay?" I asked him.

"Never been better... though with all that pain made me lose all my mental energy."

"Oh... a shame..." I responded.

We stood quiet for a moment and I decided to ask him a really stupid question I SHOULDN'T have said.

"Hey uhm, TS-1?"

"What?" He said turned to the other side.

"I have a..."

Come on, you're already saying it, might as well go with it Wallflower. My subconscious talking to me again.

"I have a... question to ask you about." I said.

"Well, what is it that so occupies our slumber?" He said.

"You wouldn't know what... cuddling means do you?"

"Cuddling? I feel like I have an idea of what it is but I'm not taking chances... what is cuddling exactly?"

"Well... cuddling is when two ponies hug and give affection to one another. I never tried it with any pony myself... other than with a pillow, but it probably doesn't feel the same with an actual pony. You know, underground for a decade?"

"Aaaaaand..." He asks.

"Well... can... can I..." I can't say it.

"Can... Can I cuddle with you?"

Oh dear Celestia I feel so embarrassed. My cheeks are hot right now.

"Sure. I wouldn't mind." He replied.

"Re... Really?"

"You really want to cuddle?" I ask.

"Well sure, doesn't sound bad, plus you were kind enough to give me cookies, so there's a reason to it." He smiled at me.

I jump on his bed and asked if he knows any positions for cuddling. He says "No." So I teach him one I find personally effective and strong to use.

"If I remember what it's called, I think it refers to as "Spooning" I think." I said.

"How does spooning work?" He asks.

"Do we put two spoons together?"

I giggled at the witty joke he made.

"No silly. But you kind of have an idea going." I said to him.

I let him guess what I'm going here with.

"Does it involve us hugging with spoons?" He asked.

"No."

"Does it invooolve... us hugging each other with spoons?"

"No, come on, keep guessing." I smiled at him.

"Does it involve us acting like spoons and we hug?"

"Yes!" I said to him with a cheerful smile.

"Though we don't act out as spoons. We spoon each other." I told him.

"Ohhhh. Sounds delightful to almost eating an amazing cookie prepped by an amazing pony." He told.

"Oh shush you." I said to him.

I rush up beneath his arms and above to his chest where I can feel his warm skin touching against mines. Oh dear Celestia this feels wonderful but I feel embarrassed at the same time.

"Wow. You really do feel warm and soft. I like this feeling." He said.

I blush even harder than I did before. He starts stroking my mane, then covers our bodies with the blanket beneath our legs. The stroking just feels... ohhh my.... it feels so amazing and warm. He scratches the side of my ears and that sends a jolt full of warmth all over my body. I get closer to his and touch his body even more. I can feel the sweet warm fuzzy feeling coming from my heart and touching his... It feels so good. I hug him and start snuggling under his chin. He smells like fresh chocolate. The sense of warmth got more intense with every hug.

"Oh dear Celestia this feels amazing." I said.

He hugged me even more and so did I. This feeling. This feeling of affection... it feels so great. And I thought cuddling with pillows felt more affectionate than this. Well I was proven wrong, and I'm glad I was.

"How does it feel Wallflower?" TS-1 asked.

"It feels like I'm in a warm field of flowers with you hugging me. I love this. I hope it never ends." I replied.

"You look cute when you blush." He said with a smile.

Just like that, I gave a little squeak and blushed intensely. The warm feeling in my body, in my heart... it's indescribable but it feels so intense. He gently brushes my mane more with his hand, then uses his other to pull me tighter onto his body. I love this so much... gah!!! I start to cuddle him more than we just stopped getting tighter and tighter and just so pulled in tight together I couldn't see his face. I can only feel his chin resting above my mane while I hugged him and he hugged me. We stopped spooning and went to hugging each other and It felt way better than spooning.

Why does it feel so good? Is it him? Is he giving me these feelings? Or is it just because of our warm bodies? I don't care. I only want him to hug me more and I want to do the same with him. I curl my tail around his leg and hold it tight.

This feels lovely. I thought.

"I don't know why I haven't gotten into this so much." I said to myself.

"Why didn't you get into it so much? This feels amazing." TS-1 said.

"I was just so lonely after all these years. You have no idea what it's like getting ignored by almost every pony around here and they hate you because of your 'flaws'." I told him.

The feeling of warmth started to fade suddenly.

"Especially since you lose all your friends and never get to see the real sunlight outside Equestria with the real clouds and such. It's been such a long time without seeing it, I can't remember what Canterlot looks like... or even the lands."

"Real sun? You've been outside before?" He asked.

"Yes." I replied.

"What's it like being out there? In Equestria and... Canterlot seeing real things."

"It was quite boring when I was outside in Equestria in my younger years, but I regret that since I was dragged down here. Now I miss it... I miss my family... I miss my old friends." I said.

"I miss everything I had and loved."

I felt like I wanted to cry. And I did. Only I weeped a little and turned away from him. I was ashamed of him seeing me like this.

"Why... just... why." I sniffled.

I just want to shoot myself right now with the gun Celestia gave him in the dome.

"Hey. It's alright Wallflower." He said.

"How can a beautiful mare like you be hurt by such things? Your amazing, your baking skills are exquisite, your extremely caring and kind, and you look glamorous and astonishing... and your cookies are beyond amazing. Don't ever let anyone tell you your 'flawed'. Your more than that, I know you are. You're the one star in the sky that shines bright, day and night, no matter how bad things get."

"You really think all that?" I asked so politely.

"I really do. I don't understand how someone just treats someone so special like that. It's so rude and mean. You don't deserve that kind of treatment." He said back to me.

"You're eyes... they look bright and beautiful, just like the stars, like you Wallflower.

We lean closer to each other and gaze at each others eyes. He looks amazing.

"You're my star, shining bright in the night sky." He told me.

We lean in closer to each others faces, he moved his hand to my cheek and started brushing it back and forth gently with one of his fingers, then our lips touched against one another. His lips felt warm and tasted like chocolate.

Oh dear Celestia, I'm in love. In love with a human! An experiment but it just feels so... so... soothing... and gentle and warm. I feel as if heaven was injected into my veins and I could feel every sense of happiness and love from it. This is what it feels like. I kiss him more, letting out little moans once in a while. I can't help it, it's been so long that I've ever hugged with something that's alive. I'm more than glad to have this everyday.

I get my body closer to his so we can touch and feel each others warmth.

Cuddling and kissing? It feels like a great mix. I thought.

I hug him and he gently strokes the back part of my mane. I curl my tail under his foot again and we kiss slowly like we have been the first few times. I wish I have had known about this feeling before I was sent down here for the rest of my life. All of my feelings of loneliness, grief, depression... all gone and replaced with love... happiness... affection. We finally stopped kissing and gazed at each others eyes for the second time. My heart is filled with happiness and love.

"I never want this feeling to end." I said to him.

"Neither do I, it feels so great and... 'loving'." He replied.

We cuddle against each once more and prepare for sleep while holding one another. He rested his chin above my muzzle and that felt cute and warming to me. It makes me feel... safe... and happy. He has his arm over mines and I have mines under his and we cuddle to sleep. I rub my muzzle beneath him and started nuzzling under his chin to show him how much I love him. He smiled and closed his eyes and went to sleep.

"I love you TS." I said to him.

"I love you to my beautiful star" He replied.

I smiled and rest beneath his arms and chin. He gave me a little kiss on my forehead and brushed my mane once more and fell asleep. I fell asleep not too long after he did. I wake up and find myself in the grass field again in my dreams, though this time TS isn't eating any cookies. He's beneath me brushing my cheek gently and I lower myself to touch his chest. He's not wearing any clothes, neither am I. We lean in closer on each other and we kiss again. After that, I was completely asleep under his arms and his under mines. This day was loving.
