Discord peered out from the bushes. His body was made significantly smaller, just to even fit inside the bush itself and only his binocular eyes peered out. He stared, straight across Ponyville for a long amount of time without blinking. In fact, he didn’t blink at all.
The sky was blue, though he thought it would look better purple. The wind was warm and humid though it would be better if it was raining cats. There were plenty of ponies walking around, handling their business in the marketplace today. They were buying things and they were selling things.
It was so normal and not chaotic. Very un-discord.
It was true that Discord wanted to liven up the place with a bit of chaos. It was true that Discord could if he wanted to. But he was trying to be better. He promised himself that he’d use his chaos for good and not for himself, for Fluttershy’s sake. Discord had promised her that and he’d never break a promise to Fluttershy.
And where was his dear friend now? She was buying carrots at Golden Harvest’s stand. She seemed to be negotiating with the stall mare, while that was not Fluttershy’s strong point, he could make it her strong point. But no, she needed to get better at these things on her own.
Discord watched Fluttershy walk away from the stall, carrots in hoof. She seemed happy so he figured she must have negotiated well. He watched her, particularly lingering too long on her flank, before going back to her face. No, there was no time to indulge on such thoughts. He was here for a reason.
And there came his reason, trotting down the streets, offering to carry those carrots for Fluttershy. Ocean Wave was a newer friend of Fluttershy’s. He’d lived in Ponyville for a long time and had planned to move out to Canterlot to be a professional chess player, but an injury to his hoof set his plans back by months. Fluttershy had met him at the hospital while visiting Rainbow Dash for yet another wing injury and the pair had hit it off, sparking a friendship. What Fluttershy hadn’t told him was that the stallion very clearly had a huge crush on her.
He could see it in the stallion’s eyes. Ocean Wave was head over heels for his dearest friend. This sort of thing did not sit well with Discord. He slashed his tail angrily and frowned. There was nothing wrong with Ocean having a crush on Fluttershy. Ocean just liked to spend a little too much time around Fluttershy because of his crush. The thought of them hanging out so much made Discord jealous and angry. One snap was all it would take to make Ocean go away forever.
And yet, what if Fluttershy liked him back? The thought of that made Discord sick. He was fully aware of his crush on Fluttershy and he knew his jealously stemmed from that. But this was no excuse to snap this poor stallion into an alternate dimension. It wasn’t fair to Fluttershy.
Discord stared at Fluttershy again. The stallion’s eyes were practically hearts. He watched angrily as Ocean gave her a few lilies and trotted away, his tail practically wagging. Oh, the nerve of him! Fluttershy didn’t even like lilies!
He watched as Fluttershy put the flowers gently in her basket and turned away, hardly reacting at all. It was impossible to tell, even with years of experience, if she liked him back. If so, she was hiding it quite well. And if not, then that was that.
If she did like anypony at all, anyways. Maybe the stallions in Ponyville weren’t good enough for her. Discord nearly laughed before he realized that would technically include him, since while his house existed outside of reality itself, it was still within Ponyville town limits. But Fluttershy probably didn’t know that. Did she?
Discord shook his head. He worried too much. If only there was a way to show her that he liked her. That he was better than that stupid Ocean Wave. Maybe there was something that didn’t involve chaos that he could try to get her to like him more than Ocean. But what was it? What would that be?
“Discord, what are you doing?”
Discord’s binocular eyes turned and came face to face with Spike, who had his claws on his hips and was tapping his feet. Discord popped out of the bush and stretched, arching his back in a cat like way.
“Nothing interesting,” He said, throwing his binocular eyes into a magical waste bin that he made appear and then disappear after his eyes had fallen in. More eyes popped back into their empty sockets, just in time to see Spike visibly shutter. Well, he could always see, but it was more fun to pretend that he couldn’t.
“Looks like you’re spying on Fluttershy again,” Spike said, his brow arching. “Look, if you like her, then you should just tell her. Plus, spying on her is a bit creepy.”
“M-me? Like her?” Discord sputtered, clutching his chest in fake surprise. “How could you even propose such a thing? We’re friends, Spike. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“I’ve seen the way you look at her,” Spike said, nodding. “It’s how I look at Rarity.”
“It was a baby crush,” Discord waving his hands at Spike who began to frown.
“So, you do like her,”
“Well, I suppose,” Discord said, giving up. “Still, I can’t possibly tell her. Look!” He grabbed Spike and held him out towards Ponyville Marketplace. “See the blue coated, green spiked maned limping stallion?”
“Oddly specific, but yeah.”
“Well, according to my intel,” Discord said, dropping Spike and flipping through a few random sheets, “his name is Ocean Wave and he is completely infatuated with our dear Fluttershy,” Discord said, teleporting Spike to the ground with a flick of his tail.
“Well… you could just come clean about liking Fluttershy and let her decide who she wants to be with,” Spike suggested.
Discord shook his head so frantically that his eyes jumped around in their sockets. Literally.
“No, no, no! That won’t do! I should just try to convince her to like me more,” Discord said. “No tricks, no chaos, only pure skill. I’ve still got it, after all,” He flashed Spike a pearly white smile. “I’ll impress her more than that stallion.”
“Or…”
“It’s bound to work, Spike!” Discord said, literally throwing copies of his arms around. “I’ll win Fluttershy’s heart with skill.”
“Ugh,” Spike facepalmed. “This isn’t going to work-”
“Thanks for the advice!” Discord teleported away.
“-if she isn’t attracted to you.” Spike finished. He looked around before sighing again and flying off. “I hope he doesn’t do anything stupid.”
~
Discord looked up from his upside-down book as the cottage door swung open. Fluttershy trotted inside, carrying many fruits and vegetables which Discord immediately teleported onto the counter.
“How was your trip?” Discord asked, not moving from his place. Fluttershy sank onto the nearest sofa, as she was out of breath.
“It was good,” Fluttershy said, after a moment of heavy breathing.
“Did you get everything you needed?” Discord asked as he set his book down. He teleported over to the groceries.
Fluttershy shook her head. Some strands of her mane fell over her eyes, giving her a cute look that Discord liked so much. Well, there was much more to her that he liked than that. But the way she took in cute little gasps of air as she took a break made him want to clutch his chest. It was so cute.
“I’m missing the dragon fruit,” Fluttershy replied, rolling over onto her back. Her wings were twitching oddly though, since they were pinned to the sofa, it could have just been the awkward position she was in.
“Oh dear,” Discord said, putting his hand to his mouth.
“Ocean said he knew of a place out near Appleloosa that sold it,” She replied.
“Why would he do it when I could,” Discord said, summoning a dragon fruit into his paw. “I bought it; in case you couldn’t find it.” He set it on the counter.
“Oh, thank you, Discord!” Fluttershy said happily.
“I also completed the rest of your chores,” Discord said, beginning to put away the fruits and vegetables.
“You didn’t have to,” Fluttershy said, rolling over again. She pushed aside her mane and looked at him cutely. “But thank you anyways, Dissy.”
Discord’s tail wagged excitedly from the behind the counter. He always loved that nickname. He wasn’t called it often, but it seemed to be happening more these days. Maybe it was his fabulous new haircut? Or the fact that they had grown closer as friends? Or had she noticed that he and Angel Bunny had formed an uneasy yet solid alliance?
“Anything for you, my dear Fluttershy,” He said, teleporting to her and patting her head.
“Oh, I hope you don’t mind but Ocean Wave is coming to our tea party today,” Fluttershy said softly while looking over her dragon fruit.
Discord kept his face as neutral as possible. “Oh really?”
“It’s just one party,”
Discord frowned.
“Oh alright,” He replied, levitating. “But you know how I feel about inviting newcomers into our gang.”
“Thank you for being so open about this. I know this tea party is meant to be our time to sit down and talk but Ocean plans on leaving in a little while and I wanted to introduce him to all my friends before he did,” Fluttershy explained.
“That’s understandable,” Discord nodded, though he secretly jumped for joy. Ocean leaving was the best news he’d heard all day.
“Thank you for being understanding,” Fluttershy thanked him and jumped up to hug him.
Discord returned the hug immediately. Hugs like this were becoming more frequent as well. He ran his talons through her silky mane and down her back. It felt too good to be this close to her again. He did indeed receive more hugs but between each one felt like over a hundred years had passed until he’d received the next one.
With her warm little body pushed up against his, he could practically die happy. He paused as he had realized he had been holding her and stroking her for some time. He also had realized her breathing had gotten quicker. Did he scare her? Discord instantly let go, dropping her on the sofa. Her face was covered by her mane again so he couldn’t quite see her reaction. Did she hate him for the awkwardly long hug?
“Well, um,” Her voice a bit squeaker than usual. “I’ll set up and you can meet Ocean in the town’s square.”
“Me?” Discord gasped in surprised. His horns spun in confusion. “Wouldn’t it be better if you went?”
“It would be great if my two good friends could bond with each other,” Fluttershy said, still not looking at him. He must’ve really screwed up with the hug. Discord contemplated apologizing but what if it wasn’t that? He decided to hold off on that for the moment.
“I told him you’d meet him over there, and I’ll set up while you’re gone,” Fluttershy said, finally looking at him. Her face was red.
“You got it, Flutters,” Discord said with a wink. He snapped his talons and a plate of crustless sandwiches appeared on the counter. He snapped them again and teleported to the town’s square.
Discord landed directly in front of the blue stallion who jumped back in surprise. The lean earth pony blinked up at Discord then shrank back as Discord leaned in and looked him over.
“You are…” He looked over piece of paper in his talon. “Ocean Wave.”
“Yes, good to meet you, Discord,” Ocean nodded. “Fluttershy talks a lot about you.”
Discord’s heart fluttered. She did?
“I just thought you’d be… shorter,” He said, looking over Discord. “And… uh… a pony.”
“Did she tell you that I was, the Spirit of Chaos?” Discord said, puffing out his chest proudly and burping up a bird that flew away. “Bringer of chaos?”
“Well, yes but I dunno,” Ocean scratched the back of his head. “I guess she didn’t mention that you wouldn’t be a pony.”
“Surprise, surprise!” Discord threw glitter into the air. “Life is full of them huh?”
“I guess,” He said. “Uh so hey, maybe we should get going?”
“No need,” Discord said, snapping his talons. The pair disappeared and reappeared in front of Fluttershy’s cottage. “Here we are.”
“Oh, uh thanks,” Ocean said, bewildered. Clearly, he’d never been teleported anywhere. He looked at Discord who had already knocked on the cottage door.
“Come in!” Fluttershy’s squeaky voice came from within.
Discord pushed open the door, allowing himself in first. The room was the same, only with the addition of food on the table. There were plates of crustless sandwiches, crust only sandwiches, book pages and the delicious smelling dragon fruit tea that sat in the center of the chaos. There were three teacups out, Discord’s chipped white teacup, Fluttershy’s dark golden laced on bright yellow teacup and a random blue and yellow teacup for Ocean. That was usually fast. Maybe her animal friends had helped her out this time. Though Discord couldn’t help noticing the lack of them today.
Discord settled into his usual spot on the sofa while Ocean and Fluttershy settled onto the other side of him. She had sat next to him. Discord’s eyes narrowed, but he did nothing other than stuff a page into his mouth.
“Oh Fluttershy, these are just delightful,” Discord complimented, genuinely enjoying himself.
“It’s from: Beach Glare’s How to Participate in Beach Activities.” Fluttershy said, smiling. “I knew you’d enjoy it.”
“Thank you, Fluttershy,” Discord replied. “You know how much I adore beach related book pages.”
“So, you said you were going away next month?” Fluttershy asked, turning to Ocean.
“My hoof is nearly healed. Doc says I can leave next month, at the very least,” Ocean explained.
“So, you’re pretty good at chess?” Discord asked, butting in. It was best to make conversation with him. Getting to know Fluttershy’s newest friend could be of some value to Discord later, even if the stallion was leaving town.
“I’ve won my fair share of tournaments,” Ocean said and straightened himself out. “Not to brag but I’ve won five medals.”
“Wow, that’s pretty good,” Fluttershy said warmly. “I’ll sure you’ll do well in Canterlot.”
“Canterlot is the big leagues but I’m sure I can make it,” Ocean said. “And if I don’t, there’s always my backup.”
“Backup?” Fluttershy asked.
“I’ve won seven medals for professional swimming,” Ocean bragged. “I could make it in that field as a professional athlete if I wanted to.”
“Wow!” Fluttershy exclaimed. She was completely facing Ocean now. It was like Discord was out of the picture.
“Pfft,” Discord said, crossing his legs. They both looked at him. “That’s nothing. I’ve won twenty-six medals in chess.”
Ocean’s eyes shrunk to pinpricks. “Twenty-six?”
“Yes,” Discord said casually. “I’m surprised it’s such a low amount considering how good I am.”
“I didn’t know that Discord,” Fluttershy said, her attention on Discord now. “Maybe you could give Ocean a few pointers.”
“Indeed,” Discord said stuffing another page into his mouth. He liked the angry fire behind Ocean’s eyes. Discord knew what Ocean was trying to do.
‘Impressing her won’t work,’ Discord thought. ‘I’m winning.’
“I was a professional hoofball player for a couple of years,” Ocean said suddenly. Fluttershy looked to him once more.
“I was a professional soccer player for a bit,” Discord said, getting Fluttershy to look in his direction.
“I was a checkers player for the longest time.”
“I played a good amount of badminton,”
“I was a professional photographer,” Ocean said.
“I invented photography,” Discord said, glaring at Ocean.
“That’s neat,” Fluttershy whispered. “I… um… need to check something.” She hurried upstairs, leaving the two alone below.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Ocean asked, frowning at Discord.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Discord repeated in Ocean’s voice.
Ocean frowned for a moment before sinking back into the chair and smirking. “Wooing a mare, that’s what.”
“Hardly,” Discord snorted.
“Oh please,” Ocean said, leaning into the couch lazily. “It’s working. You just keep butting in for some reason. Don’t tell me you like her too?”
“No,” Discord replied, drinking more of tea. “I just want to look out for my best friend’s best interests.”
Ocean broke into laughter. “Oh gosh, you do! This is rich! Tell me, did you, a mashed-up Frankenstein of body parts ever think you had a chance with her? Mares want a real stallion, not master of chaos over here.”
“You don’t really play chess, do you?” Discord asked, squinting at him.
“No, I do,” Ocean said, shrugging. “It’s not as nerdy as ponies think that it is. Fluttershy doesn’t seem to think so, anyways.”
“I could erase yours and her memories right now,” Discord threatened. “Chess wouldn’t be that cool to her anymore.”
Ocean thoughtfully rubbed his chin. “But you won’t because I know how good friends you are. But hey, how about this. You said you’ve won twenty-six medals in chess, right? I think we both know you’re lying about that but if you’re not then what if we had a little chess match? You win and I’ll back off Fluttershy. I win, you back off. Deal?”
“Deal,” Discord said, shaking the stallion’s hoof.
“You’re on,” Ocean winked just as Fluttershy trotted downstairs.
“I’ve got some old photos my dad used to take when he was a professional,” Fluttershy said.
“Guess what? I’ve challenged Discord to a friendly chess match,” Ocean said. “Just a friendly chess match between stallions.”
“That’s nice,” Fluttershy said, smiling.
“Discord’s agreed to go in fully,” Ocean added. “Maybe Princess Twilight Sparkle can be the judge just to make sure he doesn’t cheat, not that I think he would.”
‘Drat. There goes my plan,’ Discord thought.
“My two favorite pony and draconequus, playing chess together. I think I will come and watch!” Fluttershy said delightfully. “When does it start?”
“Now,” Ocean said.
“Now?” Discord exclaimed.
~
The warm spring breeze blew over Discord’s fur. Usually such warm weather would be enjoyed and reveled in by Discord, but not today. It was a tense situation. Discord was about to go up against Ocean Wave, a more than halfway decent chess player, when he himself was terrible. Real strategy was not one of Discord’s strong points. He usually just went through things chaotically, most of the time, without a real plan.
Discord was terrible at strategy, his past as a villain made sure of that and actual chess was all strategy. So, to play the game and win without any tricks? It was nearly impossible.
And yet, he had to try. For Fluttershy’s sake. If Ocean won, then he would win Fluttershy’s heart and that was the end of that.
With Pretty Princess Twilight Sparkle watching, there was no way he could pull anything. Discord looked at Ocean who was staring at the board. The game had already begun, and Discord was still nervous.
Ocean moved his bishop. “Your turn,” He said calmly.
Discord moved his pawn. The best he could do was try, at this point, even though it was clear to him that he was somehow losing. Even though he was sitting in front of Fluttershy’s cottage, it did little to calm the feeling in his stomach. “Your turn.”
“You know, you’re horrible at this,” Ocean whispered, moving his bishop again. “I’m going to win.”
“Right, right,” Discord grumbled and moved another pawn.
“No, I’m serious,” Ocean said in a low voice. “You’re going to have to watch me kiss her. Isn’t that painful to think about?”
“You won’t win,” Discord said, and moved his Queen.
“Wrong move Dis,” Ocean smirked and moved his knight. “Looks like I have this in the bag. I’ll win this deal and rub it in your face.”
“Deal?” Fluttershy asked, having had moved closer to them. “What deal?”
“Nothing at all, Flutters,” Discord said, moving queen a little further back.
“Why don’t I just tell her? I’m going to win anyways,” Ocean said. “See, I made a bet with your friend here about who could date you. He’s attracted to you, you know. I said that if I won this game of chess then he’d have to stop trying to impress you and leave you to me.” Discord’s face burned and he turned back to the board. He couldn’t believe Ocean had just told Fluttershy everything. Now, not only was he going to lose this match, he was also going to lose his dignity.
“Can you believe this disgusting hodgepodge of creatures wants to date you? It’s disgusting,” He laughed.
Suddenly, the board went soaring into the air and crashed down onto Fluttershy’s front lawn. The chess pieces rained down scattering around random places on the lawn. Twilight had ducked during the incident but was now looking towards where the fling must have come from. Both Ocean and Discord were looking at Fluttershy, so Twilight did too.
Fluttershy was beyond pissed.
“I am not an object for you boys to use for bets or deals or whatever!” Fluttershy shouted, pointing a hoof at them. “I am a mare. A pony. A living being and I do not appreciate being handled around like money! I’m the one who chooses who I want to be with, not either of you.”
“She’s got a point,” Twilight added. “This was low, especially for you Discord. Ocean, I don’t know who you are but that was incredibly mean.”
Fluttershy took in a deep breath and turned to Ocean, “Ocean, it’s been great being friends with you but I’m just not into you like that. Not to mention that you hurt me today. I don’t think we can continue being friends, knowing that you’re mean to my other friends like this.”
Ocean blinked, anger crossing his face. “You would’ve been lucky to be with a stallion like me, Fluttershy!”
“Not one who treats me like an object!” Fluttershy snapped back.
“Fine then. That’s your loss,” Ocean snorted and trotted off, head held high.
Fluttershy turned to Discord who braced for impact. “Discord, this was a horrible thing to do but thank you for being nice to Ocean when you could’ve just sent him to the fourth dimension. But I still want to see you inside. In private. Because this,” She waved her hoof at the situation. “Was not cool. You crossed a line.”
“Ah well, so I’ll just collect these chess pieces then,” Twilight said as cheerfully as possible.
“I’m sorry you had to get caught up in all of this,” Fluttershy said to Twilight.
“No, it’s fine. I never would’ve suspected it either but then again, it is Discord that we’re talking about,” Twilight glared at Discord.
Twilight levitated the scattered chess pieces and chess board into her magical grasp. “Hope you can work this out.” She said before teleporting away. Discord teleported him and Fluttershy inside.
Once they were inside, Fluttershy gave Discord a soft look.
“Why didn’t you just say that you liked me?” Fluttershy asked.
“I was scared to,” Discord admitted, running his talons through his mane. He sighed. “I like you a lot. I noticed that Ocean liked you too. I thought that maybe you thought that he was better than me and I wanted to give myself a winning shot.” Discord looked away. “That’s no excuse for my actions. I’m sorry, Fluttershy.” What had he done? Fluttershy was a toy to be won from a carnival booth. She was his best friend. He should have just come clean from the start rather than fool around with these lousy competitions.
“You’re right, it isn’t,” Fluttershy said sternly. She was frowning. “That wasn’t very nice of you. You crossed a line, Discord. But…” Her gaze softened. “I forgive you,” She said, calmly and hugged him. “But you’d better not even do something like that again.”
“Of course,” Discord said, hugging her back. “But why did you forgive me so easily?”
“Because we’re friends, Discord. And I know you don’t think of me as an object. You were just jealous, and you let that cloud your thoughts for a bit,” Fluttershy smiled. “But some stallions do actually think that way. Those are not stallions I’d like to keep as friends.”
Discord immediately hugged Fluttershy. She returned the hug.
“Do you…” Discord began as they let each other go. It was now or never to ask such things.
“Like you too?” Fluttershy finished. “Yes, I do, Discord.”
Discord grinned. His heart exploded as he thought about what that could mean. They could go on cute little dates together. They could become a couple. They could spend time together, maybe even getting a little saucy together. Their tea parties could be more intimate than ever before. Discord could imagine her snuggling into his chest cutely. It would be adorable!
But something seemed different about the way Fluttershy said it. Did she not want a relationship with him? He had been a bit of jerk earlier with the whole betting her away thing. Perhaps it made her change her mind about him?
There was something familiar about her body language and her tone as she’d said that. He’d seen it before in other mares, but he couldn’t put his finger on what it was. Freezing time for a moment, Discord thought about it. Why was it so familiar to him?
No.
Could it be? Discord thought what had happened with Fluttershy that day. The longer hugs, the heavy breathing, her tone of voice…
“Do you want to have sex with me?” Discord asked plainly, his voice as neutral as possible. He’d unfrozen time and stared down at Fluttershy who deeply blushed. He’d been so focused on doing lovely dovey romantic things with Fluttershy that he hadn’t thought about the physical aspect of it all. The more carnal side to things. He hadn’t honestly wanted to let himself think about such things. Even though he was more than excited at the prospect of doing those kinds of things with Fluttershy, assumed that she might not want to as much as he and Discord was willing to let that be.
But the way that she’d been acting today said otherwise. Maybe the past month even. He’d been so focused on making sure that she didn’t notice that he was in love with her that he didn’t even bother to notice it himself. Maybe the signs that she liked him, that she wanted to be with him were always there…
-
At the beginning of that week…
“Would you like to taste my sausage?”
Fluttershy squeaked and looked at Discord, blushing.
“W-what?”
“My sausage,” Discord replied nonchalantly. “Would you like to taste it?”
“D-Discord, I-I’ve never done this before…”
“No, no, I insist,” Discord put a green, phallic like object in front of her face. “I was surprised that a pony making a vegetarian sausage made of honey and lettuce actually tastes good! Nothing can compare to what the griffins makes, now that’s real sausage but this was fantastic!”
“That’s what you meant…”
“What else could I have meant?”
“N-nothing! I’ll try it.”
-
Two days ago, …
“Fluttershy, Twilight tells me you’ve got an overdue library book? I can return it for you if you’d like. I know you’re a bit under the weather,” Discord offered, snaking around Fluttershy who shivered from under blanket. He peeked inside and smiled as she sneezed.
“Oh no, I couldn’t possibly burden you like that,” Fluttershy protested. “Besides, it’s…um… a special book so it needs to be handled with great care.”
“I’m good at that!” Discord said, dropping the blanket back down. He teleported the book into his paw and produced a magic shield to encapsulate it. “I’ll return it for you and no harm shall come to it my dear.”
“Oh no, no, that’s quite alright,” Fluttershy protested from under the blanket, sneezing once more. “I don’t want to-”
“Say no more, my dear Fluttershy!” Discord put a finger to where he supposed her lips would be. “Don’t spend energy protesting any longer. My mind’s made up!”
Something about the book caught his eye. He stretched his eye towards the book reading over the title. Right then, Fluttershy snatched the book out of his grasp.
“I-I said… I’ll do it…” Fluttershy heaved, her face incredibly red. The magic shield popped like a bubble and she held the book close to her chest. “It’s… it’s fine.”
“If you say so,” Discord said, floating towards the kitchen. “I was only trying to help. Hey, how about some tea? A little honey does wonders on the throat.”
“I’d like that very much,” Fluttershy replied and snuggled back under blanket.
Discord couldn’t help but wonder why she had a book about confessing your feelings to a friend. Which friend?
-
Last night…
True it was a bit rude to be popping into Fluttershy’s house at midnight, but he had made up his mind. He would return her cookbooks all at once. He’d wanted to get better at cooking, so he’d borrowed them, with Fluttershy’s permission of course, in order to get better at cooking. But Discord had had it with those cookbooks. They were great recipes, of course, but not Discord’s style. They were so simplistic or too easy. Naturally, chaotic recipes didn’t exist in the land of ponies, but Discord at least wanted to make something extravagant and amazing for his friend. Things like crustless banana sandwiches just wouldn’t do.
He quietly dropped the cookbooks on her counter. It was late, very late. Fluttershy was asleep and the last thing he wanted to do was wake her.
“O-oh!”
What was that? Discord looked around. It sounded like Fluttershy. No, it was far too late for that.
“Oh Discord, yes!”
That was definitely Fluttershy. Was she moaning? No, she couldn’t be. Discord shook the immoral thoughts from his mind and shooed them away. It couldn’t be.
“Oh Discord, you’re so huge!”
Discord decided not to allow himself to think about that any further and teleported away.
-
“W-what?”
“I mean, one can only assume that you would have thought about it at some point, since you like me and whatnot,” Discord bent down to play with her mane. No need to call her out on it. It was just best to play it cool. Fluttershy didn’t move as they made eye contact. He was going out on a serious limb here and if it wasn’t sex that she was thinking about, then it would have been a huge embarrassing move for him.
But Discord had his fair share of sexual encounters earlier in his life. Mares were always the same, even across time periods. Fluttershy was no different. However, if they were to have sex, he wanted this encounter to be much different than any previous ones. This one was special to him, rather than just a casual roll in the hay because Fluttershy meant more to him than some casual encounter.
“We don’t have to do it, if you don’t want to,” Discord said as Fluttershy chose to stare at the floor, still blushing. “I’m open to anything.”
“I mean, I have t-thought about it, it’s just that, I-I’m… a virgin.”
She’d said it so low that Discord almost couldn’t make it out. Almost, anyways.
“That’s fine, my dear Fluttershy!” He said, lifting her chin up with a single finger. “We all have to start somewhere, and I’d gladly be your first. It would be a fun time for us both, but I’d make sure that it’s extra special for you.”
“You don’t mind?” Fluttershy asked, nervously looking up at him. Gosh, she was so cute.
“Of course, I don’t!” Discord said happily. “I mean, I’ve thought about it a lot too.”
Fluttershy’s face turned a deep, dark red. “D-do you want to do it… right now?”
“Yes. Do you…?”
“Of course!” Fluttershy replied enthusiastically.
They stared at each other for a moment before locking lips in a passionate embrace. He floated there, holding her as their mouths moved out of sync. Her breathing was beginning to become heavy and he could feel himself beginning to perk up. Discord groaned a little as Fluttershy ran her hooves through his mane.
“S-should we-” Fluttershy began.
“Yes, we should,” Discord replied.
In the blink of an eye, he whisked them away to her bedroom.
Fluttershy had conveniently landed under him when the landed. His body hovered over her, pushed up hands. His body felt off the edge of the bed, as it was naturally too short for him. He swiftly closed the door with her tail and opened the curtains a little, allowing a bit of sunlight to fall into the room.
“We don’t have to do this,” Discord said, running his claws through his own mane. “Don’t feel embarrassed if you want to back out now.”
“No,” Fluttershy shook head. “I want to.”
“I was hoping you’d say that,” Discord whispered and kissed her again. Her lips felt so soft as he kissed her gently. One of his hands ran its fingers over her body while the other held onto her flank. She responded to his gentle kissing by kissing back and moaning.
Fluttershy had never imagined that she’d be in such a position, under her best friend like this. She’d had feelings for Discord for a long time now, but she never even began to suspect that he would return them. Discord wasn’t a pony and Fluttershy wasn’t she if he’d be attracted to anypony outside his own species. Then again, Spike had a crush on Rarity. So, it was plausible. There was also the fact that she had never seen another draconequus before, so she wasn’t even sure if he had that option.
Regardless, here they were, making out in her bedroom. She never would have guessed that this would be the outcome of today. When she found out they’d been using her as a prize to win, it had been humiliating to have been thought of as an object to be won. But something told her that only Ocean saw her in that way. The moments that she’d spent with Discord told her there was always more to the story.
Perhaps he was threatened by the Ocean acted towards her. It was clear that he was into her from day one and Discord might have felt threatened by that. Teleporting him into the 4th dimension might have been too suspicious but beating him at chess would not have been. It was the only thing that he could have done to keep Ocean away from her.
Discord ran his mismatched hands all over her. She could feel his breathing becoming quicker as he did so. He had said that her first time would be her best time. Fluttershy was nervous, yet excited about what that entailed.
There was much that Discord could do to make Fluttershy’s first time her best time. He could cause her the best pleasure in her life with just a snap of his fingers. It wouldn’t be authentic, however. Instead just kissed her, allowing her to feel him and vice versa.
Discord could feel himself heating up from all the kissing. He knew he’d be ready faster than she ever could be, heck, just being around her was enough sometimes. But she needed to be as ready as he was and was not right now. And currently, she was not.
Discord stopped kissing her for a moment. Fluttershy seemed confused at first and then even more confused when he transformed into a muscular stallion.
“Oh no, no, no,” Fluttershy said, putting her hoof up when he bent down to kiss her once more. “We can still do this in your regular form.”
“This is only temporary, my dear Fluttershy!” Discord said, happily combing through her mane with his hooves. “It’s quite hard to kiss you properly when my body is so long and twisty. Not to mention, doing other things.”
“I would rather you do this with me in your normal form or not at all,” Fluttershy said as she ran her hooves through his mane. “You don’t have to change for me. I want you to do all the things with me as Discord.”
“Fluttershy…” He transformed back. “I didn’t think you would want to with me like this,” Discord gestured to himself with a third paw that appeared into thin air and disappeared just as quickly.
“Of course, I do, Dissy,” Fluttershy said and kissed him.
Discord returned the gentle kiss. He then pulled back.
“Now, would you tilt your head a little to the left?”
As soon as her neck was exposed, Discord dug in, peppering it with kisses. Fluttershy reacted with a moan as Discord continued to kiss her neck, eventually adding licking into the mix. He grabbed her flank and squeezed it, allowing himself to grip onto her sweet, soft flank and feel the plushiness of it.
Discord gently added biting into the mix of his kisses and neck licking. Fluttershy moaned. The pleasure she was receiving was nothing like anything she’d ever experienced before. It was almost overwhelming but not quite.
Fluttershy shifted a little. There was large, warm object pushing up against her. As Discord shifted so that he was pushing up against her more, she realized what it was. Despite how intimate they were getting, she blushed at the feeling of his member up against her. It was pulsating and warm. And big. Very big.
She noticed that he began to kiss all over her body and not just her neck, before coming to a halt in front of the very place that he’d been avoiding that whole time. She could see was his face for the moment.
“Are you ok, Fluttershy?” He asked, rubbing her hind legs calmly. “I was hoping that we could do something that I think you’ll like.” Discord felt unsure about this. He hoped she would enjoy it. Most mares he had done this with did.
“Of course,” Fluttershy simply replied. Discord smiled.
“Then if you could…” He applied a little pressure to her hindlegs. Fluttershy understood and slowly spread herself out in front of him. Discord licked his lips as he gripped her legs.
“Beautiful,” He whispered, staring at her.
Fluttershy blushed. She’d never been this intimate with Discord before, ever. She didn’t think he’d do this to her either. Fluttershy knew what he was going to do, she’d heard Rarity talk about it more times than she could count. And yet, Rarity always explained that she had to ask stallions to do it. None of them ever offered to do it first. So, she assumed that that was the way it was supposed to go.
But here Discord was, sniffing, nuzzling and rubbing his talon against her. It was good in a way and the fact that he did so without her asking made her feel good. It made her feel loved.
He began to kiss her. He slowly ran his lips over her thighs and her lower belly, all while rubbing her. There was a lightly pressurized feeling of rubbing against her button, though she saw nothing against it. That rubbing became harder as Discord proceeded to lick her slowly and steadily. Fluttershy moaned lowly as he did so, squirming a little on the bedsheets.
Discord felt happy. Fluttershy clearly enjoyed his actions and her soft, occasional moan was making him very hard. To be fair, he’d already been hard but if it was possible to be any harder, he’d be it. He rubbed his hips against the edge of the bed. He wanted to get off as well but knew that Fluttershy didn’t have any experience in that department. Discord knew he could present himself to her and she would most likely be happy to oblige but he also knew that this was her moment. Her time. It was her first time and he had told her it that it would be her best. No need to have a 12-inch cock down your throat.
Discord thought this was the perfect opportunity to take thing a little further. He pressed him mouth against her pussy and pushed his long, serpentine into her. He began to thrust in and out of her all while rubbing and pressing even harder on her clit. She moaned loader that time and was breathing much quicker. Her wings twitched and her hooves gripped the bedsheets.
Discord couldn’t help but grind against the bed some more. As much as he pushed the feeling away, he couldn’t help feeling a little desperate. Her moaning was stirring something great inside of him. He let out a little moan himself. He could have grown a third hand to jerk himself off but why do so when the main course was going to happen along down the line?
Fluttershy couldn’t believe the amount of pleasure she felt. It was amazing and it felt far better than anything she’d ever done with herself before. She moaned again, unable to contain herself anymore, not that she was trying to begin with. She pressed herself up against him as he picked up the pace. There was a building sensation inside of her and she knew exactly where it was going to lead.
Even though Fluttershy couldn’t imagine it getting any better, it suddenly did. Out of nowhere, Discord pressed his tongue against her sweet spot from inside her while, at the same time, digging into her button from the outside. She cried out, her back arching, her hooves clenching the bedsheets, everything coming to a huge finish. Her legs locked around Discord’s head, pushing him as deep as possible into her.
“DISSY!” She cried out as her body shook. Her wings began tangled in the sheets while they twitched and flapped.
The sound of her orgasm was almost enough to send Discord over the edge. He felt her juices coat his face and her body relax around him. Her breathing became slower. Discord pulled back and looked up at her. She was staring back at him with a dreamily smile on her face.
“That was wonderful,” She said softly.
“Indeed,” Discord said, wiping away her juices with a napkin that her conjured up. He levitated it onto the bedside table and began to kiss her once more. Fluttershy pushed him away.
“Is something wrong, Flutters?” Discord hoped that he wasn’t being too forward. She may have needed a chance to breathe after such an encounter.
“No, it’s just that…” Fluttershy motioned towards his lower abdomen at his pulsing member. He looked down at it then back at her. She was sitting up now, her mane covering only one eye but leaving the other one staring at him intensely.
“It’s just that I want to help you now,” She whispered and licked the tip. Discord moaned.
“Fluttershy, you don’t have to do this. It’s alright,” Discord said, though he made no attempt to try to pull her away.
“But I want to,” She replied and ran her hooves down his length.
Fluttershy smiled at him in a reassuring way but inwardly she was panicking. It had seemed like a good idea initially to return the favor but now it did not. He was far bigger than she had expected to him to be. Fluttershy had seen more than a few stallion cocks thanks to the magazines that Rainbow Dash let her borrow for her ‘sessions’. But Discord was far larger than any of those stallions. It was to be expected that there might be some size difference between Discord and her.
But this was one hell of a size difference. At some point she was going to have to try and fit that inside her. It was seemed impossible.
“You don’t have to do this,” Discord repeated. Fluttershy noticed that she had stopped.
“No, it’s fine,” She squeaked. After all, she trusted things to be alright when she was around Discord. There was no need to be worried. No need at all. She placed her hooves back onto him and Discord noted that she seemed a little shaky.
“Flutters, I’m going to take over from here, if that’s alright with you,” Discord said. She wordlessly nodded. “Could you lean back then?”
Fluttershy fell onto her back and Discord fell with her. He began to kiss her neck again and with each moan she made, she could feel his cock throb on top of her. That shook Fluttershy out of it for a moment. He was quite big. How was he supposed to fit?
“How could I have asked you to do that,” Fluttershy heard him mumble as he nuzzled her face. “When you’ve never done it before?”
“It’s fine,” Fluttershy replied. “I wanted-”
“I don’t mind if you don’t, Fluttershy,” Discord said, stroking her wings and causing little spikes of pleasure here and there. “I just want you to have fun. I’ve done this more times than I can count but you have never done this. And I want your first time to be special.”
“O-okay,” Fluttershy said, gasping as he stroked her wings.
“Why don’t we move on to our last and best event?”
“D-Discord,” Fluttershy squeaked as he continued to touch her wings.
“Yes, my dear?” Discord asked, looking at her.
There was a look in his eyes that Fluttershy hadn’t noticed before. This whole situation was incredibly pleasureful for her. It was also incredibly exposing as well. She’d never been this intimate with anypony before, so she’d been more worried about if she’d do well in this situation rather than anything else. And that was when she could think between the moments when all she felt was pleasure.
But after carefully looking at Discord’s face, she noticed that he wasn’t as confident as he sounded. She wondered if he was showing his nervousness on purpose or not. Regardless, what was there to be nervous about? Unless…
“Discord, have you actually ever had…umm…have you done this before?” Fluttershy asked.
“Of course! I was being honest when I said that I knew what I was doing,” Discord said. He still didn’t seem any less nervous by saying that.
“Well…” Fluttershy paused. Then what was there to be nervous about?
“You’re welcome to ask me anything, Fluttershy. I’m an open book,” Discord said. His hands had stopped touching her. He was staring at her.
“Why do you seem nervous?” Fluttershy squeaked, after a moment of silence. “It’s just that you seemed confident only a moment ago…”
Discord seemed stunned. “I-I…” He let out a breath. “I just don’t want to hurt you.” He conjured up a Papier-mâché version of him and other ponies, ponies she didn’t recognize. They danced in a circle to her side, in a way that was sexual in nature, somehow. “I’ve done this with a lot of other ponies. Sometimes I might’ve gotten carried away. And I didn’t care that I did.” Paper sparks flew out of the papier-mâché him. They fluttered lightly to the ground while a lot of the ponies ended up looking flustered and angry. “I’m a magical being. Which means that sex is weird for me. Sometimes if I get too excited then my magic surges past the boundaries that I’ve set up.” The characters disappeared and Fluttershy looked back at Discord. “The chances that I might lose control are slim but if anything, bad were to ever happen to you…”
“Nothing bad will happen,” Fluttershy said, taking his face into her hoof. “I trust you not to hurt me. Even if you do lose control briefly, I trust you to reign it back in.”
“Flutters…”
Fluttershy gently kissed him. “Now take me, Discord.”
“Anything for you, Flutters,” Discord replied and kissed her back gently. He then pulled back and looked her over again. She was so beautiful to him and so exposed. She was open fully as her true self. Fluttershy was there, laying out in front of him and it wasn’t a dream.
His member gently brushed up against her silt as he lined himself up. He’d always reduced himself in size, as ponies were much smaller, and this time was no different. But it wasn’t about that. He felt nervous. Discord never really got nervous about anything, except for things involving Fluttershy. It was because he liked her. And he wanted her to like this. It was her first time and he didn’t want to ruin it.
Discord brought himself back to reality. He’d been absentmindedly rubbing his tip against her. It was making her moan a little. Still, he knew what he was doing. There was no need to be nervous.
Discord pushed a little, entering her. She squirmed a little, uncomfortable no doubt, and made a little noise. He didn’t see any real signs of discomfort on her face, so he took that as a sign to keep pushing in. The tightness of it all was the most perfect part. Fluttershy was so tight and warm. The fact it was her that he was inside made him want to cum on the spot. But he couldn’t. Not yet. Not until Fluttershy was satisfied.
He tried not to think about the delicious tightness around him and focused on pushing through her. She was squirming a lot more now, so he bent down as kissed her. Her mouth was warm as well and so was her body and everything was just so warm. Or maybe that was just him.
Fluttershy was extremely excited about this. The idea of even making out with him was only a farfetched fantasy to her but this was a whole other ballpark. At first, the feeling of his large member pushing its way through her was a bit uncomfortable. But then he had started kissing her and it become more magical.
Then he pushed up against something inside her that made her cry out. Discord immediately stopped moving forwards.
“I-I think…” Discord stopped kissing her and looked at her. “That we have reached it.”
Fluttershy had never heard Discord sound so nervous before. He was being honest and open about how he felt right now which Fluttershy found to be hot, in a way.
“Yeah,” Fluttershy replied, knowing exactly what it was.
“We don’t have to do this if you don’t want,” Discord said nervously.
“But I want to do this,” Fluttershy said.
“Good,” Discord said, leaning down next to her neck. “Because I didn’t particularly want to stop either.”
Fluttershy moaned as he began to kiss her neck. “D-don’t drag this out, D-Dissy. P-please.”
And in one single, swift movement, he pushed through her barrier and all the way into her. She cried out and tightly grasped him. He kissed, licked and nibbled on her neck. He slowly massaged her flanks. He wanted her to feel so comfortable.
Fluttershy felt the pain slowly fade away and replace itself with pleasure. Soon she was moaning and squirming.
“Discord, you can m-move now,” She panted, as he ran his fingers over her wings.
“With pleasure,” He said in his silky-smooth voice. Discord pulled into his length was only in her at the tip and pushed back inside her, slowly and gently. His maintained this rhythm of slow thrusting while his lips stayed at her neck. His fingers on one hand rubbed and massaged her right wing and the other hand roamed her body, occasionally stopping at her cilt to give it a good rub.
Fluttershy had felt pleasure before but this was a new record. Never had she experienced so much goodness at once. If she could have met her past self and had told her that she would meet a special somepony who would treat her this well, she would have not believed herself. Even if she had told herself a year ago that that somepony was Discord, she would not have believed her.
It was so hard to believe that she could feel this much pleasure and that it was Discord that was doing this to her. She thought it was just another wet dream at first, but no, it was real. It felt real. Her wet dreams usually began at the sexual parts, but this began further in the day. That was how she knew it was real.
The pleasure had begun to build up. There was a humming sound coming from Discord, but he didn’t seem to notice it. Was it the magical excitement that he had talked about earlier? Fluttershy didn’t think about it too much. She couldn’t. There was too much pleasure coming from all sides. All she could do was wriggle and moan. It was so overwhelming and yet, so good. She thought she couldn’t take any more pleasure and yet she wanted so much more. Soon, she wouldn’t be able to take anymore.
Soon meant now. Everything exploded around her as the pleasure reached its peak. She cried out as the orgasm hit her like a freight train. She arched her back and her wings stiffened and flapped.
She fell back on the bed, breathing hard as Discord slowly stopped his ministrations.
“D-did you…”
“I didn’t,” Discord said, beginning to slide slowly out of her. “But we can end it here. You came and that’s all that matters to me.”
“Not to me, it isn’t,” Fluttershy shook her head and grabbed his hand. “You have to…”
“Fluttershy, I am perfectly content with the outcome.”
“I’m not,” Fluttershy replied. “I want you to be able to…” She blushed deeply. “To cum too, Discord.”
“I might get too worked up if I do that,” Discord replied. “I just watched you orgasm and it… it was amazing. I don’t know if I should…”
“You should,” Fluttershy said and ran a hoof down his chest. “Now, please Dissy. Fuck me.”
Discord took in a shuddering breath and slammed into her. He was rougher this time around, as he slammed into her and Fluttershy didn’t mind it one bit. He leaned into her, grabbing her ear between his teeth and his tail in his hands. He tugged her tail hard as he roughly fucked her.
Fluttershy only noticed it as he sank his teeth into her ear, but he was glowing. A blue aura had surrounded him, like the glow on a unicorn’s horn but over his entire body. He smelled like blueberries. The room smelled like blueberries.
“F-Flutters,” He groaned, not noticing how the objects in her room had begun to float all on their own. Fluttershy was receiving some pleasure from all this as well since she liked how roughly he was fucking her. There was something carnal about how he was doing it that she enjoyed.
But she also noticed how there wasn’t really a bed under her anymore. She was laying on something soft and comfortable, but the bed was definitely gone.
“I’m so c-close, Fluttershy!” Discord groaned into her ear.
Discord’s breathing picked up and his body was trembled. There was also a large amount of cabbages on the bookshelf. How many cabbages were too many? She wasn’t sure. Fluttershy also wasn’t sure when the wallpaper with the moving frogs had replaced her plain white walls. Maybe it was five seconds ago. Maybe two minutes. Who knew?
“Fluttershy,” Discord moaned and slammed into her one final time, pressing his abdomen against hers and digging his teeth into her ear in a way that was both painful and pleasureful. He felt like the outside world was gone and that it was just him and Fluttershy in that single tiny moment. He held onto her tightly as though she was going to fly away if he didn’t. Discord let out a loud moan as he released everything into her.
Fluttershy felt him expand inside of her for a moment before he loudly moaned and came into her. She expected it to be a for her to take in, but she felt most of it dribble out of her and into the void below them. She was glad that he was holding so tightly onto her.
He slid out of her, the room suddenly snapping back into existence and the chaotic-ness of the room gone as though it hadn’t been there previously. Discord fell back onto the bed and rolled so Fluttershy could lay next to him.
“Oh, I didn’t hurt you, did I?” Discord asked, stroking her mane.
“No. That was amazing, Discord,” Fluttershy said, smiling. She snuggled up next to him and held him as he held her.
After a moment of silence and breathing, Discord spoke up. “Fluttershy, I know that we’ve just admitted our feelings to each other, and it was never discussed if you wanted to… date me, officially.” He met her eyes and grabbed her hoof. “Do you want to be my m-marefriend?”
Fluttershy blushed. “Of course, I do, Discord!” She nuzzled his chest.
“Well, great!” Discord exclaimed. “A good end to a good day, I might add.”
“Indeed,” Fluttershy agreed.
