Relationship Advice

The ringing of the last school bell of the day had the expected reaction all throughout Canterlot High. Doors were opened, and boys and girls from every class began to make their way out of the building, alone, in pairs or in groups as the day was finally brought to a close. All through the halls was the sound of opening and closing lockers, as the students packed all of their books away before setting off home. Mere minutes had passed before those aforementioned halls were largely empty, but, among those still here was none other than Flash Sentry, who remained standing at his own locker as he tried getting a particularly large textbook away. But, it wasn't long before he accomplished this goal, and after closing the locker door, he slung his school bag over his shoulder, ready to head off for the day.

"Psst!"

The sound, of course, drew his attention, and he stopped, looking over his shoulder to find, to his confusion, nobody there who could have made it. Raising an eyebrow, he shrugged his shoulders, then started to walk off yet again.

"Psst!"

This time, he sighed, sliding his bag off his shoulder and turning around in earnest.

"Okay, who is it?"

There was a pause for a time, but thankfully, it didn't last long, as Flash, finally, started to see a head poking out from behind a nearby corner. Upon seeing this newcomer, Flash was once more struck with confusion.

"Wiz?"

Sure enough, Wiz Kid now emerged fully from around that corner, constantly looking around himself, as though worried somebody might spot him, as he made his way over to Flash.

"Hey, Flash, you...you got a minute?"

Though unsure of why his friend was acting this way, the blue-haired boy nodded, waiting for him to reach the spot he was standing in before speaking up.

"Sure. What's wrong?"

Again, Wiz looked around, and then, after making sure they were indeed alone, let out a sigh as he looked Flash in the eye.

"It's...about me and Aria."

As one would expect, this took Flash aback somewhat.

"Is something up with you two?"

Wiz shook his head.

"Not exactly. It's just...you know..."

Unexpectedly, he started to blush slightly, trying his best to avoid Flash's gaze, until he was finally able to get his words out.

"...it's about our...well...possible...future...um...sex life."

Naturally, a silence fell between the two boys, as Flash simply stared at his friend for some time. Wiz, for his part, looked completely embarrassed over what he'd just said, and thus continued to avoid looking at Flash. But, after this silence had dragged on long enough, Flash let out a sigh.

"Wiz...I'm not exactly an expert on that sort of thing."

This time, it was Wiz's turn to raise an eyebrow.

"Of the two of us, you're the only one who's actually gone that far with an Equestrian girl. If anyone can give me advice on this, it's you."

Flash considered that.

"Huh...good point."

But Flash soon turned his gaze back to Wiz.

"But if I may ask, what's brought this on? Sure, teasing you might be Aria's favourite thing to do these days, but it's not like you've ever been pressured into...you know..."

Wiz nodded.

"Yeah, but...I kinda feel like it might be...happening soon."

Folding his arms, Flash took on a look of curiosity.

"Oh?"

Wiz sighed again.

"You know that new boyfriend Adagio has?"

Flash nodded.

"Andante? Yeah, I met him. Wouldn't stop flirting with me. What about him?"

Again, Wiz looked around, as if the guy in question was nearby to hear them.

"Well, he shows up and boom, he and Adagio are in bed. Me and Aria? We've been dating for months."

Suddenly, understanding dawned for Flash.

"Ah. I get it. You think she might feel the need to fast-track things along because of her sister's new guy?"

Suddenly, Wiz started to look a little more uncomfortable.

"Well...that might not be exactly be the reason."

Flash looked at him for a time, then let out a deep exhale.

"Wiz...just come out and tell me what the problem is already."

Another silence fell between them, but it was only a short one, as Wiz then looked his friend right in the eye.

"It's just...what if this is something she wants but I'm not able to do for her? What if I just spend our whole relationship being too nervous to go forward with it and...well...consummate?"

Flash thought on that.

"I...see."

Wiz looked away again, clearly embarrassed over this whole affair, all while Flash kept his eyes locked on him.

"Wiz...when Sunset and I started dating again, it took a while before we eventually felt comfortable enough to go forward with that act."

The other boy looked back to him as he continued.

"And when we did it, it wasn't because we felt we had to, it was because we were both at a point where we wanted to. So..."

He folded his arms again.

"...the question is this. Do you want to do this with Aria?"

Wiz opened his mouth to speak, only to stop as Flash raised a hand, halting him.

"And I don't just mean on a base level because she's a beautiful Siren, because that much is obvious."

He took a step forward, pointing his finger squarely in Wiz's chest.

"I mean, do you want to do with this Aria? Do you want her to be the one you do this with, because you care for her?"

Wiz's mouth was shut tight, and he turned his eyes away from his friend. Neither of them said a word, and for over a full minute, the hallway was completely silent. Then, at long last, Wiz let out a long sigh, looking once more to his friend.

"Yeah...I think I do."

Flash heard that, the honesty in his voice, and gave a nod.

"Alright then...in that case...you know what you need to do."

A blush came to Wiz's face.

"Yeah...geez. I have to...actually...tell her?"

Flash nodded.

"Yep. As for what happens after, well...you'll have to go through that part yourself."

Wiz nodded back, placing his hands on his hips and shaking his head.

"Sheesh...I just...what kind of thing should I expect?"

A smirk crossed Flash's face.

"Honestly? Probably the best night of your life."

Wiz chuckled.

"Yeah, probably."

Flash continued.

“Followed by you being exhausted more than you've ever been before.”

Wiz’s smile diminished a little.

“Er...yeah.”

Flash continued again.

“In fact, if my experience with Sunset is anything to go by, you may find yourself even more drained than that. I mean, my girlfriend was able to do things to me that kept me from walking right for a few days. Who knows what a Siren with centuries worth of bedding experience is gonna do to you.”

Here, Wiz’s smile faded entirely.

“...Right.”

A pause followed that, and the two boys looked to one another, unsure of what to say next. In the end, Flash offered his friend a hand.

“Well...it’s been nice knowing you, Wiz.”

Sighing, the other boy took the offered hand and shook it.

“Remember me as I was.”

Flash raised an eyebrow.

“What, completely out of your depth?”

Wiz nodded.

“Yeah, that.”
