Friendship is Magic, Love is Chaos
Confessions
Previous ChapterNext ChapterFluttershy was relaxing at home when a butterfly came in through an open window. It didn't look like a normal butterfly, it was almost glowing and it had beautiful iridescent patterns drawn out in bright green. She followed it out her door. It somehow managed to elude her. She followed it into the Everfree forest. Meanwhile, Discord was, surprisingly, bored at home. Somepony knocked at his door. He opened it up. Nopony was there. A voice said, "Catch me if you can!"
"Where and who are you?"
"Who says I exist?" Discord growled.
"That's it! Nopony ridicules Discord!" He followed the sound of the voice. It led him outside of his pocket universe and into Equestria. He ran into the Everfree forest. At the same time, Fluttershy was still chasing her butterfly. It finally led her to a spot in the Everfree forest. Not too close to the center that it was scary, but not so far away that it wasn't like a forest at all. She stopped in her tracks to see that she was face to face with Discord.
"Discord? What are you doing here?" Discord didn't know how to respond. What was he supposed to tell her? That he heard some voice that probably wasn't there and he followed it?
"Long story. Why are you here?"
"I was chasing a butterfly."
"So, since it's so nice out, do you want to stay here for a bit?" Please say yes, please say yes he thought.
"Oh, um, sure."
Meanwhile at Twilight's castle
"Alright, Trixie you got the fireworks covered?" said Starlight. They were putting their plan to get Fluttershy and Discord together into action.
"You betcha!"
"Great. Twilight, you have the window open?" Twilight opened a window that showed Fluttershy and Discord together.
"Check."
"Good." Starlight picked up an earpiece. "Rainbow Dash, unleash the fireflies."
"Got it!" she replied. She opened a jar and let the fireflies out. Fluttershy and Discord looked at the twinkling bugs flying above them.
"Lovely night isn't it?" Discord said.
"Oh, um, yeah." Starlight facehoofed.
"This isn't working. Trixie, unleash the fireworks!" Trixie's horn lit up and small fireworks exploded above the mare and draconequus. The two looked up.
"I wonder who's setting off fireworks right now."
"Trixie's probably practicing something." A heart shaped firework exploded directly above their heads. They blushed. Starlight smiled.
"Now we're getting somewhere! One more thing." Her horn lit up. Several glowing butterflies flew above the lovers. They surrounded them. Fluttershy didn't know why but for some reason, this gave her confidence.
"Discord?"
"Yes?"
"I've wanted to tell you this for a while but I couldn't."
"I have something to tell you too."
"I love you!" they said at the exact same time.
"Y-you do?" Fluttershy said.
"Yes, I do. I wanted to tell you for years now but, I couldn't. I thought you didn't like me back." Fluttershy wrapped her hooves around Discord. A mischievous grin appeared on her face.
"You know, there's something else I've been wanting to do for a while."
"What?"
"This." Fluttershy pressed her lips against his. Discord's eyes went wide for a second, but then they closed. When they pulled away, Discord was smiling like an idiot. "So, do you want to our spot tomorrow?" she said with the grin still on her face.
"Of course my dear." Rainbow Dash flew back to Twilight's castle.
"Oh my gosh did you see that?! They kissed! They actually kissed!" Rainbow Dash said.
"I don't believe it either," Twilight said.
"Well, I do. It was pretty obvious," said Starlight.
"Still, it was amazing," Twilight said as she smiled.
"When do you think they'll tell everypony?" asked Trixie.
"If I know Discord, probably tomorrow," Twilight answered.
The next day
Fluttershy leaped out of bed. Last night was the best night of her life. She brushed her teeth and did her hair, then ate breakfast. She flew out her door and raced to Twilight's castle. She knocked. Twilight opened the door.
"Oh, hi Fluttershy."
"Twilight guess what?"
"What?"
"Discord and I are a thing now!"
"Congratulations!" she said, trying to sound surprised.
"I gotta go, bye!" Fluttershy skipped away. Twilight smiled. Their plan worked. Starlight walked up to her.
"What was that about?" Starlight asked.
"She doesn't know yet."
"Phew! Discord's ranting is bad enough but combine that with Fluttershy's stare? Yikes." Twilight nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Fluttershy flew over to Applejack's house. She knocked.
"Howdy Fluttershy! What can I do ya for?"
"Guess what?"
"What? This doesn't have to do with Rainbow accidentally blowing off part of Rarity's roof during a dare, does it?"
"No, though I should probably ask Rainbow Dash about that later. Discord and I are a thing now!"
"Well, I'll be darned! I didn't even know you two liked each other!"
"We do! And can you keep this part a secret?"
"Sure."
"We kissed!" Applejack's eyes widened.
"On the lips?!" Fluttershy nodded. Applejack's mouth was hanging wide open.
"I- I gotta go lie down now." The mare walked back inside. The pegasus flew off to Carousel Boutique.
Rarity opened her door. "Hello, Fluttershy. What can I do for you?"
"Discord likes me!"
"Oh, my! Did he tell you?"
"Yes!"
"Did you tell him you like him back?"
"Yes!"
"Did you kiss?"
"Yes!" The pegasus mare soared into the air.
"Oh my gosh!" The unicorn wrapped her friend in a hug. "I'm so happy for you!"
"Thanks-Rarity-now-please-let go," Fluttershy said, struggling to breathe.
"Oh, sorry! So when are you going on your first date?" Fluttershy gasped.
"Oh no! I'm meeting him in a few hours! I gotta go, bye Rarity!"
Fluttershyy combed her hair, making sure it was extra silky. She walked out her back door, and towards the edge of the Everfree forest. This was their spot. The spot where they always met. As she expected, Discord was there. "Oh, um, hi Discord."
"Hello, darling." He kissed her on her cheek. Fluttershy blushed. Her head shot up. It was night now.
"Discord look! A shooting star!" Fluttershy silently made a wish.
"What did you wish for?" he asked. He could probably make it happen with a snap of his fingers.
"I wished that we would be together forever."
"Well, at least that's a wish I can grant." He wrapped her in a hug. "You know, the stars and the moon are good lightings for dancing. Shall we?" Music played from nowhere. He held Fluttershy's hooves as they danced. They began to hover in midair. Fluttershy pressed up against his chest. She wanted that moment to last forever. Eventually, their dance ended. Discord looked at Fluttershy. She smiled at him. He kissed her. She nuzzled him. "Well, goodnight Fluttershy."
"Goodnight Discord. Thank you, this has been one of the best nights of my life." Fluttershy walked away. Discord sat down.
"She really does love me."
Author's Note
When AJ says she didn't know Discord and Fluttershy liked each other, I was making fun of how oblivious she can be.
