Please Love Me! (Nerdz x DevlinSyo)

The sun began to rise for another day in Canterlot, Syo like always stood up and made her way down to the bakery that Nerdz worked at like any other day. Except this time, she didn't hurry. The night before she had an ill feeling, not the feeling of her heart pumping when she looked at Nerdz. It was a feeling of complete dread.

That night a puppet of Nerdz appeared on the chair across from her and it startled her, did Nerdz break in? No.. she couldn't because she didn't know what room that Syo resided in. Before going to the bakery she went to her shop.

Approaching a building filled with clothes and fancy designs. She opened the door and the small bell made a little ding. A pegasus ran over to Syo greeting her with a huge smile. "Good morning~!" she giggled, the minty pegasus smiled at Syo.

Syo patted the smaller pegasus' head. "Hey there, Minty Pad. How's the sales?" she asked entering the store looking around seeing the average amount of clothes gone, "It looks like Sales have been steady." she commented.

The pony known as Minty Pad jumped a bit, "The sales have been wonderful! Is there something you need?" she asked, reminding Syo the original reason she came here. Syo opened her bag and dropped the piece of paper in front of Minty Pad.

"Make these aprons for me please." Syo said without explanation. "I require them by next Wednesday, thanks!" without any answer from Minty, Syo had already galloped out of the building and towards the bakery.

She knew that taking the trip to her store she'd be late, hearing the bell ring notifying her of the time she flew above busy unicorns and buff earth ponies doing her best to make it to the bakery before Nerdz stood in front of the register to give her morning wave, never was Syo late on this occasion. It's not like the world would end, but it surely felt like it would.

Soaring towards SouBakes she took notice of whom she didn't expect to see soar past her. N-Nerdz?! She was late. "H-Hey!" Syo shouted to the yellow pegasus, Nerdz turned her head to see Syo flying a bit faster to catch up with the late work pony.

"You're here too? Why aren't you at the bakery?!" Nerdz called to her as they both zoomed past restaurants from above.

"That's not important! Why aren't you there?! You work there stupid!" Syo shouted back, Nerdz' face lit up from embarrassment, this never happened before. Nerdz had slept in and she didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Nerdz looked in a different direction from Syo and noticed SouBakes below. "Common, don't pry, lets go!" she answered Syo landed. Syo soon followed as the two rushed into the bakery noticing the long line up, Nerdz rushed to the back to wash her hooves and help Baking Souda out.

Syo made her way to her regular spot where she'd sit waiting for Nerdz to finish up work. Her thoughts fell back to the mystery doll that appeared in her room when she woke up. No traces of anyone breaking in, and since she wasn't a unicorn she wasn't able to check for traces of magic. She sighed at the limit of her magic, only being able to lift objects wasn't so special. Even a foal was capable of such magic. Syo laid her face on the table closing her eyes a bit.

Her entire mind was exhausted, seconds before she drifted off to sleep a small plate was moved to her table, the noise alerted Syo and her head went straight up and noticed a muffin on a plate in front of her. In her vision was a grey unicorn stallion in a purple scarf smiling. "Hi there missy." He greeted Syo. Taking a seat across from her.

Confused, Syo sat up straight not wanting to be rude. "H-Hi...? Could I help you?" she asked.

"Eat." He responded.

Syo tilted her head in confusion. "Huh?" she muttered. "Eat?" she asked again.

The colt smiled and nodded his white mane bouncing. "Yeah. The young lady in the back said you looked tired and she wanted to feed you but since she was working she asked me to bring you it." Syo instantly thought of Nerdz. That was so sweet, a flutter in Syo's heart. Nerdz was concerned about us, that was so kind.

"Alright, thanks for bringing it here." Syo's visible eye began glowing it's normal purple hue and the same hue appeared around the muffin. She lifted it to her mouth and took a bite, chewing in silence. Taking notice of the unicorn in shock and awe. "Is there something wrong?" she asked setting the muffin on the plate.

The stallion's eyes sparkled, "Y-you can use magic?!" he asked in awe. "How is that possible? It's possible if a unicorn casts a spell but what spell, I'm sure there is something, somewhere that explains this odd thing. Please tell me!" His red eye lit up. He pulled out a note book out of his scarf and a pencil preparing to write things down.

"Uh... It's actually boring. It's a birth defect. My dad was a pegasus and my mom was a unicorn. So I inherited some magic from her. It's nothing too special if you think about it." Syo gave him an uneasy smile. "Why are you so fascinated?"

The grey stallion coughed a bit and looked at Syo. "I'm a teacher at Canterlot Elementary. It's kinda like Celestia's school but it's for students who weren't lucky enough to get it. It's my job to educate them to the point where they're able to be accepted. My name is Guntaka. I specialize in teaching potions and spells to unicorns. You being a pegasai interested me since you can use magic."

Syo understood why Guntaka was interested. "What brings you here sir?" she asked trying to make small talk.

"I live here. I'm not here normally in the mornings or afternoon due to school but since the fillies have the day off I got to stay home." he replied. Lived here? Syo never knew he lived here.

"You're related to Mr. Souda then?" She asked in confusion. They must have known each other in school.

Guntaka laughed a bit. "Yes indeed." He smiled, if their related they don't look alike. "He's my husband." Guntaka smiled.

Syo paused. Mr. Guntaka and Mr. Souda are married? "H-huh? You're both married? That means..."

"Are you uncomfortable by this?" he asked sounding a bit disappointed.

Syo shook her head. "No, no!" she said, "I actually have a question, if you both got married might I ask some advice on asking somepony out?" she started. "There's a pony, a mare actually that I've been feeling different about and I thought about asking her out sometime soon..." Syo blushed deeply at the thought of seeing Nerdz in a wedding dress.

Guntaka laughed aloud. "That's simple. You tell her you wanna go out. You like her and if you're close enough with her I'm sure she'd find it fun. Just be confident with this!" Guntaka pulled out a slip of paper handed it to Syo. On the paper was scribbled 'Be Strong!' and a smile appeared on Syo's lips. "Read this whenever you're worried about asking her. Confidence is truly key. Just make sure she knows you like her."

"Thank you, sir." Syo bowed her head lightly in gratitude.

Guntaka stood up and pushed his chair in. "Well, I guess I should be heading out. I got some supplies to grab for Souda. Don't be afraid alright Syo." he said as he packed up. Guntaka turned around to leave but stopped. He looked back at Syo and smiled once more. "Treat Nerdz right."

Syo looked down at the paper, 'Be Strong!' she looked up and saw Nerdz helping customers. Nerdz had a glow of joy around her, and Syo finally understood what the feeling was withing her, it was real feelings. She felt a feeling of love. "I fell in love with her..." Syo muttered.
