New Home

Dew wouldn't stop hugging me and crying when she woke up. Took a moment to get her off me and she was being way over dramatic. Rumor, on the other hand, gave me the light shit since I'm recovering and all. Can't drink the heavy stuff he says, even though that to tastes better. Still for once, I felt like I had a home. The truth is that I have no real place to call home. So once I'm better, I plan to leave. I look at the door and sat up fast in surprise. A golden yellow mare had walked in, she looks at me angrily and tackled me off the bed. My back leg began to hurt as the mare was on top of me.

"Radar you idiot! Why did you almost get yourself killed again?!" Her name is Golden Heart, shes a traveling medic and she taught me how to use a sniper rifle. Plus she alone is terrifying enough for me.

"Radar, I have lunch!" Dew happily enters the room with a cart the town uses to bring food to each other. She sees Golden and slowly gets closer to us, only to witness she's on top of me.

"Radar, how could you!? Your cheating on me!?"

"Dew, we have to be a couple for that to happen, which we arent and I was only tackled by my mentor." Dew was confused and Golden got closer to Dew.

"He's right, but I'm more into cute lasses." Golden said in a soft, lewd tone as she stroked Dew's wing, which caused her to blush bright red and move away from Golden. Golden giggles finding Dew adorable but walks back to me and puts me back in the bed.

"Radar is more like a lil' brother to me. I came across him when he was still a lad. I helped with his gun practice. He wasn't into medical training sadly. I can train you, I'm very skilled." Golden smiles which made Dew take a step back. Golden was making her feel uncomfortable. It took a while of careful mending to patch me completely up, apparently I was more broken then I thought I was.

"Stay in bed for two more days and you'll be fine to travel again. Now who's your medic?" I point at Dew and Golden smiles, dragging the frail mare away to drill as much medical information and training as she can into her. My stomach growls and that was when I realized I can't get to the food on the cart.

"Well fuck..." I sigh and try to get sleep, if I get out of bed, Golden will injure me further.

***

Rumor came to feed me at dinner since Dew was stuck with Golden and her harsh training. I still remember the beatings from not hitting the target. Dew was probably getting harassed and molested since she's a mare. Rumor gives me a bowl of stew, it smelled good with the vegetables in the dark seasoned broth. I took a bite and didn't realize I was already stuffing my face. I was either more hungry then I thought or Rumor is a better cook then Dew. Then again all she feed me was those weird beans, is that all she can make?

"So Golden told me how she knew you, I didn't realize she raised you to be the fight you are now. You know she grew up here with me, I'll tell you I slimmed down a bit. Was a pretty chubby lad." He laughs, I seem used to his deep laugh now. Although he's fat right now, so I don't know if slimmed down is quite right. Now that I think about it, Heatworm did sound familiar to me when I interrogated that raider. I suppose Golden mentioned it once to me and I forgot this whole time.

"So you are like her fillyhood friend or something?" I pick up a carrot on the spoon and put it in my mouth.

"Actually the lass is my younger sister." I choke on the carrot, I was caught by surprise. Then again both of them call colts lads and fillies lasses. The do the same for stallions and mares as well. They look like that aren't related but they speak similar. I would never have figured out until Rumor said they were related. Which means...

"Please tell me your not into stallions." He laughs his deep laugh, which felt a little unsettling at the present moment.

"Na, I'm into lasses, not lads. Sorry to break it to you, but your not my time." I never knew I'd feel both relieved and offended at the exact same time. Leave it to Rumor to make that happen. I finished the stew without realizing it, it was clear Rumor was a better cook. He made my day when he got me alcohol. It was the light shit, but anything is fine right now. He opens it and gives it to me, which ended with me chugging it all within seconds and hopping I'd feel anything, but I felt the same. Not drunk in the slightest.

"When you have recovered completely, I'll give you something heavy, get ya drunk." I hoof bump him, it would be a good night to look forward too. Although I may get a fucken ugly hangover afterwards, but it'll be totally worth at. It's a problem for future me to deal with.

***

I wake up in the morning with Golden in the same bed as me. I've forgotten she used to get in the same bed as me when I was a colt. Even if she still sees me as a little brother, it still feels weird to me. She never will change, her death grip hugs kept putting me to near death now that I think about it. Although she never ment any ill intent, I never realized how much she became like a real sibling to me and it took me getting stupidly injured to fucken realize it.

"Deep in thought?" Golden had woken up and was poking my cheek. I take it back, I don't want a sister this annoying.

"I'm surprised you wouldn't take advantage of this sweet innocent mare."

"I only agree with the mare part, your so lewd that innocent will never apply to you and if I tried anything, you'd pop my head off with one of your death grip hugs." I apparently pissed her off and she started to death hug me neck, making it hard for me to breathe.

"That's not how you take to a lass!" Luckily Dew enters and tried to get Golden off me. Unfortunately for her, Dew was then caught by Golden. Only to get harassed and molested by her. Which means Golden is drunk, since she only does this to mares when she's drunk. Dew squealed in surprise when Golden licked her marehood.

"Somepony help me!" I stayed still, I've already learned once to not get in Golden's way. It was ten whole minutes before she passed out. Dew now on the other side of my bed, red in the face and traumatized. My best guess was that Golden drank all night and in a drunken state, got in bed with me. It's really no surprise, she's done it many times before and I am always usually safe. It's the mares who get molested by her.

"Why didn't you save me radar?" Dew was shaking, mad and embarrassed I witnessed the whole thing.

"Cause I've tried it before it ended badly for me, I will never get in her way again. Not unless I want more broken bones." I look at the sleeping Golden Heart on the ground. At least she'll wake up sobber, but with one nasty hang over. Rumor came in with some toast and homemade jam for breakfast. He pauses when he sees Golden, gave me the toast and jam, then put her in a bed like he's done this before. I took a bite and smiled, it was defiantly better then Dew's cooking.

"What do you mean it's better then my cooking?" I had not realize I spoke what I was thinking. Dew was attempting to look angry at me, but her embarrassed blush she got from Golden molesting her made Dew look more pouty in a cute way. I have to say something to not hurt her feelings.

"I mean, those... baked beans where good, but it's all you seem to make."

"Those where green beans..." Those were fucken green beans, they were definitely not green anything for that matter. Not just that, but it looked like I made it worse. I look at Rumor as a plea for help, but looks at me like he was saying that I already dug my grave.

"Jerk!" Dew ran off upset and I sigh. I'm a real stud with the ladies, I make them cry and try to kill me. I'd go find Dew but I can't get out of bed until tomorrow. That and I came across another dilemma, how do I use the bathroom if I'm not to move from bed?

"We had you use a bucket." I stare at Rumor who had just read my mind. This was defiantly not gonna be fun to do.

***

Finally the two days of recovery was over. I stretch my back since it felt stiff being in the same fucken bed this whole time. Dew hasn't talked to me since I made her cry yesterday. I suppose it won't matter, I mean I'm just gonna leave her here anyways. Heading downstairs, Golden and Rumor were chatting and having a drink or two. So I decided to join them for a bit. As long as this place stands, I'll finally have a place to return to. A new place to finally call home. After my drinks, I say my goodbyes and I begin to walk out of town when Dew blocked my path.

"I'm coming with you! You can't change my mind." She looks at me like we are partners, which to be honest, I was surprised. It made me laugh at her.

"Your one damn weird mare. Do what you want, but I'm not going anywhere specific." She smiles and walks next to me her bags packed with supplies. It was like she didn't care where we go. For the first time, in a long time, it felt nice to journey with someone.
