Ruining The Moment

Previous Chapter

Her grin widens, as does yours. You finally said it. You've waited for so long, and now you-

"What a finale!" You and Fluttershy both practically jump out of your skin, the mare falling onto the floor from the shock. You look at the source of the voice, which is... the ceiling?

A head appears next to you, "I don't know about you, but I think that was a fantastic finish!" You flounder away from the decapitated character, ultimately falling off the end of the bed.

Fluttershy stands up and scowls, "Discord!"

The draconequus' body phases through the wall and approaches its head, picking it up and placing back in its natural place. "Fluttershy!" he smirks excessively sarcastically, "I heard you screaming and came to make sure you were alright, but the door was locked!" He points to you like you're evil, "You can never really trust a stallion, Fluttershy; all they want is your body." Discord pulls out a small mirror and looks at himself, slicking his ears back like they're hair, "Trust me: I know from experience."

Fluttershy growls audibly, "You're interrupting something, Discord."

"Oh! I guess I'll let you get back to it, then." He tosses the mirror through the wall and sits in the chair on the opposite side of the room, resting his head in his hands and watching in suspense.

Fluttershy takes a few steps toward her friend, smiling gently now, "Discord, could you please come back later? As in: when I unlock the door to let you know it's okay to come in?"

He holds eye-contact with her for a few moment, frowning and mulling over the occasion. "Fine," he stands up, "but don't come crying to me when you find out that this is just a one-time thing for him."

The mare turns toward you, her eyes glowing, "I don't think that's the case."

Discord "Hmph!"s, then walks through the closed door. Fluttershy lets out a deep sigh of relief, then the non-pony pokes his head back in and says, "Are you sure you don't need anything from your old pal?" The pegasus glares at him. "Alright, I get it." He turns to you, "Great job handling her on the bed, by the way!" Both of you blush intensely as he hops back out.

You look to Fluttershy, and she watches her hooves out of embarrassment. Thank you, Discord, for ruining the moment.
