Okay, obviously I had mixed messages received. The sting of being kneed in the groin says it all.

Holy mother of fucks, that actually hurts!

It took a moment to get everything in order before I was able to sit up. “Okay ... wrong move…”

“No fucking shit, assbutt.” Blacklight told me, her back still facing me. Ears slightly drooped and her knees were up to her chest.

Great…

I frowned softly, realizing what I just did to a good friend of mine. Letting a bit of my old changeling instincts taking over, I-

Fuck, I’m a horrible prince!

“Blacklight, I’m sorry,” I said as scooted closer to her.

She ignored me.

“Hey, I really am. I wasn’t thinking ...I just thought what we’ve been doing for two years was going somewhere else…”

Again, the assassin ignores me.

“Blacklight, I let me -HEGAAH!!!”

This sharp, painful blow to the balls consumed me once more and I ended up back on the ground, clutching them and whimpered.

“Now, you’re forgiven, mother fucker.” Blacklight unfurled fingers after retreating them from the punch.

If this is how she punches in game, I don’t want to know how it feels to be punched in real life.

Insanely, after what I did, I was getting a hard on by that.

Fucking hell, what was wrong with me?!

“You know, if it wasn’t for the fact, I was two seconds away from fucking you, I would hunt your ass down in whatever cave you live in and make sure you lose your stallionhood, completely.” Blacklight grunted. Her tone suggested she wasn’t joking.

“I’m-”

“What are you doing?!”

Okay...I wasn’t afriad to admit this, but I think I wet myself when Thorax barged into my chambers and saw my stupid ass in the holosuit rolling on the ground, wrething in agony.

“H-hold up, Blacklight.” I quickly told her before I lifted the goggles up on my forehead and look up at my brother.

“Um...can you like….FUCKING KNOCK!?” My voice raised a few octaves, not out of anger but out of embarrassment.

Thorax blinked as he eyed my suit. “Everyone - including me - heard shouts coming from you. And I did knock...for fifteen minutes. Just what are you wearing?”

I stared at him before sighing deeply. “It’s what I ordered.”

I could see Thorax following the suit over to my computer and witness his frown deepened.

He quickly closed the door and turned to me. “Pharynx, when I put in the No Tech law, I thought you would follow it.”

Welp, he was bound to find out somehow…. Just wished it wasn't of me getting my balls beaten to shit.

“Thorax, seriously, you should lighten up on that law. No harm in having some tech.” I said to him.

“But it’s technology that is making everyone distance. You know how I don’t want to have distance to anypony.”

“You don’t understand,” I told him, getting quickly angry about this.

“How don’t I? We are meant to spread love to others. Staying inside of all hours of the day...skipping breeding seasons when you know if you don’t - do you want to be bloody purge?!”

The Purge is a term the Changelings use. It’s when a Changeling refuse to breed for a long period of time, they purge. Meaning that the changeling will shriveling up and basically roll over and die.

“I’m not gonna purge!”

Thorax was about to use his magic to grab the tech before - I couldn’t stop it if I even did - told him the truth.

“Because I found somepony I care about with this tech!”

His eyes widened as soon as those words spilled from my lips.

My eyes widened as well, jaw dropped as well because I forgot - for a moment - that I didn’t mute myself so Blacklight heard everything.

For a split second, I pulled the goggles back on and saw that Blacklight was just staring at me.

Shit, shit, shit!

I pulled the goggles back off and looked at Thorax, this time muted my headset.

“She’s real, Thorax. And I like her...alot.”

Thorax rubbed the back of his neck, staring at me. “Okay… how long have you two been talking?”

“Two years. I’ve gotten to know her.”

“What you gotten to know was pixels on a screen. Do you know what she looks like aside from her avatar?”

“Well, I asked but she didn’t want to.”

“Have you talked to her outside of game?”

“We call each other all the time.”

“Do you know her name? Her real name?”

I closed my mouth before I could open them. For two years, I never once asked for her real name. Nor she has ever asked for mine.

I saw where he was going at..

“Pharynx, unless you meet her for real, all she is is a moving picture. Not a real creature.” He said. Using his authority voice at me before it softened. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”

As much as I appreciate my little brother cared about my safety...it’s my life, not his.

“Can you please go? I want to salvage what I have with the pixels.”

Thorax shook his head. “I hope you know what you’re doing.” He said before leaving me alone.

Great, don’t I feel like a total jackass.

I sighed softly before I unmuted and slip the goggles back up.

Blacklight was still staring at me. “So ...you're actually Prince Pharynx?” she asked almost monotone.

My whole body heated up. Did she actually hear everything that was said?

Apparently so!

“Um ...yeah…” I muttered softly. Great, this was just perfect!

She looked back to the lush green fields. The wind blew gently so her mane danced everso with it.

I sat next to her, legs crossed. Waiting in agony as this long awkward moment of silence consumed us.

After five minutes past, I couldn’t take it much more and sighed. “I...I didn’t mean for you to learn who I was like that.” I said.

“I can see that,” she responded as quickly as I stopped speaking.

Great, now I creep her out even more. What does she think of changelings? Crap, oh crap, am I gonna lose her?!

“You know…” she started off after another moment of silence, “It explains a few things about you.”

“Oh? How?” I asked.

“You mentioned you have two cocks,”

“Touché…”

“And you used the term hive alot, honestly.” she also mentioned.

“And… ?”

“One...weird way of telling each other who we are in real life… Pharynx.”

She didn’t sound like she was disgusted, that counts as something.

“Well...you know who I am now, who are you?” I finally asked her. “Who are you, Blacklight?”

She was about to speak before we heard a child’s giggle behind us.

Both of us whipped our heads around to see a small, dark gray little filly pegasus, dressed in a black dress, her red eyes looking up at us and her silver mane and tail were tattered.

“Black, is that~?”

“Malice.” Blacklight whispered.

Oh fuck.
