A New Start: A romance story of a human and Fleur De Lis.

I awoke to Fleur, my one and only laying upon my chest.

The sensation of love was something i had not felt in a very long time.

"Wake up, mon amour." She whispered, her soft and beautiful voice filling my ears. A voice full of adoration and care. It was so gentle and soothing that it made me want to reach out for her, to hold her against me.

Her soft and warm fur against my skin, an exotic and pleasurable feeling that I just could not summarise.

I couldn't help but sigh in utter pleasure. No girl back home had ever taken any interest in me. Just because I was more intelligent instead of being physically stronger I wasn't seen as someone worth dating. But now I had Fleur, that pain had left me. Seemingly overnight.

Still, what those scientists did to me...I'm still haunted by what happened. I fear I'll hurt Fleur, the idea of it happening petrifies me. I'm scared to be me.

Am I human? A machine? A hybrid? Perhaps I'll never know.

Fleur noticed my downcast look, and pulled my face towards her own with a hoof. She smiled at me softly, easing my anguish to a degree.

"What bothers your mind, my love?" She asked me softly, running a hoof up and down my arm.

"It's nothing, Fleur. Just a bad memory. Something that happened to me as of recent. You saw what it was when we locked eyes." I answered sadly, my voice quivering slightly.

"I know, mon amour. I'm so sorry for what's been done to you." Fleur consoled.

It wasn't her fault, she had nothing to apologize for. If anything, I should've apologized to her for trying to hide from her and ignore her. That was such a dick move on my part

"You have nothing to apologize for Fleur. If anything, I should be sorry for trying to ignore you and hide from you, I mean." I replied sadly, ashamed of my actions towards her.

"It is alright, my love." She whispered sweetly. Her soft, accented voice a soothing melody to my mind.

I sighed contentedly, I could feel her heartbeat within my mind, we were becoming one. Our minds opening to each other all the way, enabling telepathic communication at will.

Words were not needed for such actions. Only touch and magic were needed to stimulate such feelings.

An hour passed by, the two had spent the time cuddling together in their bedroom.

"Mon amour, would you like to come shopping with me?" Fleur asked softly, her voice gentle and soothing. Her accent bringing more emotion into every word.

"Of course, just give me a second to get ready." He lovingly replied, stroking her mane causing her to let out a light playful moan.

"Where are you going, my love?" Fleur asked confusedly. Noticing a smirk starting to appear on his lips.

He turned around to face her, his sunglasses covering his eyes. A black leather jacket covering a jet black shirt over his upper torso. Black jeans covering his legs. Copying the style of the Terminator from the second movie.

"I'll be back."He stated emotionlessly, before bursting into laughter.

"What's so funny?" She asked, even more confused than before.

"It's something from back home, from an actor I once met. His name was Arnold Schwarzenegger, from a country called Austria. He was a bodybuilder and actor. He had a beloved character he played called The Terminator, otherwise known as CyberDyne Systems model 101, also known as Uncle Bob, Pops or Carl." Kyle stated, remembering the old Terminator movies he watched.

The two exited their home as they began to walk down to the market.

He began to notice that other mares and stallions gazed at him. the mares would glimpse at him in confusion and shock whereas the stallions gave him looks of jealousy and hatred, because he was with Fleur. He glared back at them, his eyes and Heads Up Display slowly turning from their normal blue to a dark red. The inner Terminator coming out.

Kyle noticed and quickly took back physical and mental control of his body. His eyes slowly flickering back to blue.

As his eyes reverted back to their normal colour, he noticed that Fleur had seen what he really was. Out of fear he backed away and thought to run off. He deemed the idea hopeless because he and Fleur had bonded. They could hear and see each other's thoughts. Meaning she knew exactly what just happened.

"Fleur... I-I'm so sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. I don't know why it took over but it did." He stated sadly, looking away in shame.

"It is alright my love, you were protecting me." Fleur consolingly whispered, running a hoof over his cheek and gazing into his eyes. She could see the fear and worry within his eyes and very soul.

He smiled and caressed her cheek with his palm, feeling her soft fur within his hand.

The two began to walk back towards their home, after such a stressful day it was time to relax comfortably together.

The duo entered the building and laid together for hours before falling asleep.
