"Ah...he's shopping~...I do hope he picks up some of those cookies I like..."

Discord, the spirit of chaos and disharmony, laid strewn out on his futon, sipping from a large goblet made out of what appeared to be iron.

He was currently watching some sort of light screen, and within the screen was his object of affection, his beloved little boyfriend, Spike the dragon. The boy was grocery shopping for the castle, and was currently examining a bag of rice, before adding it to his cart.

Now, normally, one would find it rather creepy to spy on your significant other, but Discord couldn't disagree less. After all, he was only wanting to make sure that his little Spikey Wikey was safe and unharmed, and the spirit only watched him when he knew the dragon wasn't doing something incredibly personal.

The moment Discord saw an indication of Spike being say, in the restroom, or talking with one of their other friends, he flicked the screen off and elected to go play tackle badminton with the Smooze instead. He was a loving, concerned boyfriend...not some sort of controlling weirdo...

However, there was nothing wrong with him expressing his love by watching the boy while he was out about the town, or admiring how adorable and peaceful he looked while he slept, or maybe keeping the screen on once he sees the dragon...indulging himself.

What? No, that's not weird! They're dating, they've had sex multiple times, touching yourself no longer becomes a private matter when you have a partner, especially when said partner is a reality warping demi-god with impulse control issues...

...Right?

Anyways, the spirit took a long, languid sip of the neon orange wine he had, the liquid staying perfectly within the goblet despite being upside down, until Discord actually elected to drink from it. His gaze admired the beautiful little dragon as he made his way to different items...including a package of coconut crusted almond cookies, one of the draconequus' favorite store bought flavors.

However, while both Discord and Spike had assumed that this would be a normal, ordinary day...

Something terrible occured.

"Hello there..."

Spike jumped and then turned around. An earth pony stallion greeted him, smiling down at the diminutive teen.

"Haha...oh wow, y-you scared me!" Spike uttered, laughing nervously.

Discord hummed and took a disinterested sip. He loved Spike, but watching him have mundane conversation with run-of-the-mill citizens was absolutely b-o-r-i-n-g.

"Ooh...Cocomondos? Those are pretty tasty..."

"Heh, yeah..." Spike scratched his arm. "Anyways, nice talking to you...gotta go finish my shopping."

The stallion's brow furrowed. "Wait!"

The dragon cocked his head, turning back around fully to look at the pony. "Uh...yeah, dude?"

"I just gotta say...I think you're really sexy. Wanna go out somewhere, baby? Get frisky?"

The draconequus suddenly sat bolt upright, eyes widened comically, then promptly took and enormous swig of the wine and spat it out dramatically. The liquid reacted like acid wherever it landed, hissing and melting through carpet and wood alike.

What!? He thought that his little Spikey Wikey was what!? He wanted to do WHAT!?

Spike's cheeks were suddenly dyed a lovely shade of red. "H-Huh? O-Oh, uh, that's...flattering?"

"No it isn't! It's the exact opposite of that!" The spirit snapped, eyes narrowed.

"A-And...I appreciate the sentiment?"

"No you don't! Listen to your voice, look at your face, Spike! You don't even buy what you just said!" He continued, tail whipping back and forth in agitation.

Ever since he'd addressed the last little equine annoyance, he supposed it had slipped his mind for a bit that Spike was gorgeous and that other worthless noponies could possibly consider him gorgeous as well.

Oh, the pains of having such a cute, wonderful boyfriend.

"...b-but I'm not really...interested..."

The draconequus sighed in relief, a rope falling down from the ceiling as he did so. He promptly pulled it, and a loud 'fwee!' sound rang out, glittering confetti raining down on him and a banner dropping down from the ceiling, reading 'THE CORRECT CHOICE!'

"And why not? C'mon, you look like you need a break...and so do I, sweetcheeks~

"No, r-really, I-I'm good..."

The stallion reached forward and casually gave the boy's cheek a caress. "I'm tons of fun...I wouldn't mind havin' you keep me company tonight. You look super fun too."

"S-Seriously, dude, I'm not...n-no thank you..."

"C'mon, don't be a stick in the mud, baby boy..."

Poor Spike could only stare up at the pony in discomfort and anxiety, obviously unsure how to respond now that his previous rejections were simply brushed aside and he was touched and given pet names by somepony he didn't know.

The glitter that had been raining down turned into fiery embers, and the banner abruptly caught fire and reduced to ash.

The draconequus glared at the light screen, lips twisted in a snarl. "Your cue to leave was already passed thrice over, buddy." Could this stupid pony not take a damned hint? Spike wasn't interested!

"I-I have..." Spike swallowed thickly. "I have a boyfriend, okay?"

The stallion chuckled and suddenly pulled the teen close to him, causing Spike to squeak in surprise. "He doesn't gotta know though, does he?"

Spike's frills tilted downwards. "I-I'm happy with him!"

"Oh really...wanna test that?" The pony drawled, before casually reaching a hand downwards...

"D..." The spirit's fists clenched and his eyes glowed. "Don't fucking dare-"

The stallion's hand cupped a cheek of Spike's sizable rump through his cargo pants, squeezing it harshly and making the boy cry out in shock and blatant discomfort.

"C'mon sweetie...don't play hard to get..."

"HEY! WHAT THE FUCK, GET...GET OFF ME!" The teen went instinctive and promptly aimed a punishing knee to the earth pony's crotch.

With a shout of pain, he dropped to the ground, releasing the shaken teen who promptly forgot his bags and groceries in favor of spreading his wings and flying out of the store at full speed, tears running down his cheeks. His flight drew the looks of several confused onlookers-

And just like that, the light screen violently exploded into fractals, ending the scene and leaving the spirit shuddering and shaking.

The air around him crackled with sparks of chaos magic, potent and deadly, and the once moderately warm and homey lighting and atmosphere of his house had now chilled to a frightening degree.

Discord was furious. He could hardly articulate, he was so furious. His vision was literally red for a while, as he processed it fully and totally.

Somepony...somepony had just...touched his sweetling.

Somepony had just harrassed his sweetling.

Somepony violated his darling sweetling's personal space in a repulsive way, refused to take no for an answer, had touched his rump without consent, and made him run away in tears.

And now...

And now...

Somepony was going to pay. He was going to pay, even if it was the last thing Discord ever did.

However, right now...he had a boyfriend to soothe and comfort. Vengeance would come later.

With a rather rigid snap, he was off.
