A Changeling's Love

Early this morning as Thorax was still asleep, he was dreaming more and more about Spike. Whenever he thought of the day he first met purple dragon, it made him feel as giddy as a little schoolpony when they meet their first crush. Every time he looked directly at him, he would do nothing but swoon at his body. But his charm and personality was what kept him more hooked. He looked at Spike who was wearing nothing but an apron. He walked over to the dragon and began kissing him. Holding him everywhere as they embraced, Thorax moved his hand down and grabbed Spike's plump butt and thighs, making the latter gasp. Holding him down and putting him in a doggystyle position, Thorax grabbed his penis and slapped against Spike's ass, making it hard. Just when he was ready to stick it in, he suddenly heard,

"WAKE UP!!!"

Thorax immediately jumped out of his bed and fell to the ground. He looked up and saw Ember with her arms crossed.

"Oh. Good morning, Ember." Thorax said with his usual meek voice.

"ZIP IT, LIGHTWEIGHT!!!" Ember shouted.

Thorax stood at attention upon hearing her loud, dominating voice.

"Listen up, because I will not repeat myself after this. You understand?" Ember asked.

"Yes, ma'am!" Thorax shouted, standing at attention.

"I was sent here to help you improve on your assertiveness. It's the key to having a full healthy relationship as the dominant half. The more we train, the more confident you will feel when the time come for you to kiss that dragon. Is that understood?" Ember said.

"Yes, ma'am!" Thorax responded.

"I can't hear you!"

"YES, MA'AM!"

"Good. Now please make your bed and clean yourself up. The way you moved around gave me the creeps." Ember said, leaving the room.

Thorax looked at his bed and noticed that there was a lot of semen on the sheets. Groaning in annoyance and disappointment, he took the sheets off the mattress and brought them into the laundry.

Three hours laters after breakfast and getting himself dressed, Thorax left the castle with Ember. He didn't see Starlight anywhere in the castle, so he assumed that she was with Trixie when he went to bed. Celestia knows what they were doing and he could only imagine what they were doing with each other while he was by himself. Regardless, he focused on his true objectives and he would see them through to the end. When he made it to the park, Ember was waiting for him along with Starlight and Trixie.

"So you finally made it." Ember said with her arms crossed.

"Wouldn't that imply if I had no intentions of showing up at all?" Thorax asked, scratching his head.

"No questions!"

Thorax jumped completely at attention when he heard her loud voice. Seeing this, Starlight said,

"Ember! We're trying to help Thorax, not run him through boot camp!"

"I'm just here to do my job, Starlight. It's not like he's ever been yelled at before." Ember said in her casual tone.

"Sure. Why not name her Drill Sergeant Scales..." Trixie whispered in a sarcastic tone.

"Care to repeat that, magician?" Ember asked, cracking her bones as she turned her head towards the blue unicorn.

Trixie yipped and hid behind Starlight who just simply rolled her eyes in annoyance. Moving away from the former, the latter approached Thorax and said,

"The point of this exercise is to build you confidence in telling Spike how you really feel. And Ember is going to show you how it's done. Right, Ember?"

"Are you sure? She doesn't seem the romantic type..." Thorax said, feeling unsure.

"Trust me! You will be more assertive by the time we finish this workout. Now let's get to it!" Starlight shouted in a confident manner.

"Huh?"

"Enough talk! Let's get training!" Ember shouted before blowing a whistle.

The first thing that the dragon made Thorax do were multiple jacks before making him do various amounts of training regiments. Ranging from pushups to squats to even outright pushing rocks up a hill, Thorax was beginning to feel exhausted from the exercises he was forced to do. He was only allowed fifteen minutes of breather before being forced to work out once more on the park.

***

Five hours have passed since he was put through this hellish day of nonstop workouts. He could feel nothing but his body parts turn into noodles, his lungs collapsing, and his mouth parched from all the extra running he had to do.

"Are you okay?" Starlight asked, crouching down to Thorax.

Thorax opened his mouth, trying to say something. But he couldn't find the words to respond. Instead of talking, Thorax pointed behind Starlight.

"Huh? What is it, Thorax?" Starlight asked, tilting her head slightly to the left.

He desperately thrusted his arm wildly to the direction he was looking towards with the wheezing coming out of his voice. Looking behind her, she noticed a water bottle. Realizing what he was trying to communicate, she said,

"Oh! Hang on."

Running towards the bench, she brought the water bottle and poured it into his mouth. Absorbing the liquid moments later, Thorax hacked repeatedly upon jumping back off the ground.

"This is your way of helping me with my assertiveness?! I asked for help with giving the courage to confess, not sign me up for the Royal Guard! Wasn't there any other you could have helped me with my assertiveness instead of putting me through boot camp!?"

"At the time, no. But look at it this way! At least you have the strength to hold Spike down if you wanna get your point across on how much you love him." Starlight said, trying to save face.

Sighing at the revelation of this, Thorax said to Starlight and Ember,

"Look. I appreciate what you're all doing for me, but it's time that I stopped running and face the music. I've been meaning to tell Spike my true feelings to him, but I have been ashamed to do so due to us being the same genders. If I was born a female, maybe things would have been different. But this is reality. So I'm done running from it. I'm grateful for everything you've done for me, Starlight. But it's about time that I took the bull by the horns and tell Spike what's on my mind. I appreciate it."

Thorax left the three behind at the park. Trixie, in a dumbfounded manner, asked,

"What just happened?"

"He's finally ready. All we can do now is wait and hope this wasn't in vain." Starlight said.

"And if it is...?" Ember asked.

"I know who I'm treating tonight~." Starlight said, grabbing Trixie by the butt.

"Oh~. You pervert~." Trixie said in a playful manner.

"What do you say we find something to eat before it gets too dark?" Ember suggested.

"Yeah! I haven't eat since this morning. Starlight said, rather enthusiastically.

"Me too. I know I have to look good for my audience, but it's hard keeping calories down." Trixie said in a vain tone.

Ember and Starlight rolled their eyes at Trixie's statement before they walked.

"What? It's true..." Trixie said as she joined the two.
