My Little Family

I went to the skating rink and sat down at a table, thinking about my horrible day, when Thorax trotted over, hugged me, and kissed me.

“Hey Johnny. Are you ready to have some fun?” He asked.

“Yeah, I could really use it.” I replied.

“What do you mean?”

“Did you talk to anyone before coming here?”

“Just Pharynx, but I just told him I was going to be with you for the rest of the day.”

“Alright. So here's what happened. I got covered in frosting, got kicked in the stomach, wasn’t allowed in the boutique because of the frosting, got tackled by a royal guard, got my Caramel Bugles eaten, had somepony yell at Fluttershy because she wouldn’t take them out on a date, and got hit with a door.”

“That’s terrible.”

“I know.” After a few seconds, Thorax said, “Wait here. I’ll be back.”

Thorax came back after a few minutes with a blindfold and I asked, “What’s the blindfold for?”

“It’s for you to put on, silly!” I chuckled. Hearing him say that made him even cuter than he already was. I put it on, and he levitated me onto his back.

“Now, hold on tight. I don’t need you falling off, after what happened today.” He started walking and after a bit, he stopped and said, “Alright, climb down and take off the blindfold.”

I carefully got off and took off the blindfold. We were in a big bedroom.

“How come we’re here?”

“I talked to Cadence, and she said that we could use the bedroom for tonight.”

“Really?”

“Yep. She wanted to repay you for doing something nice even though you were going through what happened today.”

I hugged him and said, “Thank you so much.”

“No problem. You deserve it after what happened earlier.”

“What’s this?” I asked, pointing at some condiment bottles on a nightstand next to the bed. I took one of them, squeezed the bottle, put a little bit of the content on my finger, and ate it.

“Johnny, why would you do that? You do realize that we’re in a room in the Princess of Love’s castle, right?”

“Eh, don’t worry it’s not what you think it is. It’s cake frosting.”

“What’s cake frosting doing in here?”

“It’s probably here so we can do this.” I pointed the bottle at him, and squeezed it. Some frosting shot out of the bottle and onto him.

“Hey!” He said. He levitated a bottle over to him, and shot some at me.

“Hey!” I said.

“All is fair in love and war.” We used up all of the frosting, and at the end, we were covered in frosting from head to toe and head to hoof.

“So, what now?” I wondered out loud.

“Now, we need to get clean.” Thorax responded.

“So, do you want to take a shower first, or…”

"You can go first."

I took a shower, and then he followed suit. While he washed off, I went onto the balcony and admired the sky. After he finished, he came out and said, "It's beautiful out tonight."

"Yeah." I replied.

"You alright?"

"No."

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that you do a lot of things for me, like reserving this room, or getting me that plushie of you, but I haven't done anything in return. So, what can I do for you?"

"Listen, you don't need to do anything. Just be happy. As long as you're happy, I'm happy. We feed off of love, and when you're happy, you give off a lot of love. So, you already give me something in return without even knowing it." He teleported us to the bed, and murmured, "Don't worry, it'll be okay. Let's get some sleep. Good night."

"Good night." We kissed, and I put my head on his stomach.

"You smell nice." He muttered.

I blushed and said, "Thanks. So do you."

"Thanks." A few minutes later, I fell asleep.

"Psst. Johnny." Thorax whispered, nudging me awake.

"Yeah?" I asked.

"Good morning. I got us donuts."

"Thanks!" We had some of the donuts I gave Thorax yesterday. Thorax took a bite of a donut, and I bit the other side, kissing him in the process. We started laughing, and then we kissed again.

"How cute!" We turned, and saw Cadence. "Sorry to interrupt, but there are some ponies here to talk to you, Johnny." She walked out, and the Mane Six walked in.

"Hey, Johnny. Could we talk?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah. What's up?"

"We wanted to say that we're sorry for what we did yesterday. I'm sorry that I hit you with a door."

"I'm sorry that I ate your Bugles without your permission.” Starlight confessed.

“I’m sorry that I threw a cake at you and covered you in frosting.” Pinkie Pie apologized.

“I’m sorry that I kicked you in the stomach.” Applejack said.

“And I’m sorry I didn’t let you come into the boutique.” Rarity declared.

“I accept your apologies. But, I have to ask Pinkie, why did you throw that cake at me?” I asked her.

“Well, since it was your first Hearts and Hooves Day, I wanted to make a cake for all of us.” She spontaneously pulled out a giant heart-adorned cake, and continued. “I would have showed it to you yesterday, but you seemed pretty upset.”

I stared at the cake for a few seconds, admiring how big it was and how good it looked, before asking, “That’s really sweet. The fact that you would do this for me, I’m not sure about the cake yet.” After I said that, Discord appeared out of nowhere with a set of drums, and went “Ba dum tss!”, then disappeared. “Where should we eat this?”

Cadence let us eat the cake at a table in the cafe. We had a great meal, and the others eventually left, so we were about to go back to our homes, but Thorax said, “I hope you had a good time last night, and I hope you feel better.”

“I do.” I hugged him and chirped, “Thank you so much!”

“No problem. I’ve got to get going. I’ll see you later.” We kissed and went our separate ways.
