Flurried Hearts
A Day with Discord
Previous ChapterNext ChapterDiscord held a tiny foal in his paw. "Are you sure?" He asked as a pink alicorn dashed between her office and her bag.
Cadence checked one more time, sorting through papers. She saddled up her brown bag. "Today is your tea day with Fluttershy I know it's important to you. Sombra is at the Apples, I really don't want to drag in my maids. They aren't really equipped for this. I trust her with Flurry. If anyone were to have a good handle on her besides you, it would be her. I teleport with Flurry all the time if that's the issue. The doctor said it was completely fine."
Discord smiled, not waiting a second longer, he was at Fluttershy's.
"Waaab waaab waab." Flurry lightly chewed on her forehoof. She hated being away from mom but she liked her new bear friend. He was tall and had horns. She moved on top of Discord’s head. "Ear!" She stated with confidence.
Discord smiled, he floated both of them through the door. "Hellloooooo, Flutters we have a guest for tea."
Fluttershy trotted from around the corner. She let out a small sigh, she did wish Discord would know but she understood why he didn't. Or at least she thought she did. There was only so much one could do to understand a being of pure chaos.
It was a part of his nature to just, do. It was both frustrating and admirable. She wished she had the confidence to just, go with the flow. Every morning she had a panic attack on her list to do. She couldn't fly more than two feet off the ground due to pure fear.
Discord rubbed his claw and paws picking up a newspaper sandwich. He threw it into his mouth and purred ever so lightly. "Your cooking is always fantastic. Not even I could match this and I made it!" He threw another one into his muzzle. Taking the baby off his head he chewed the sandwich. "Thank you for the room too. You know me well."
Fluttershy looked at the small bundle, picking it up the hooves she smiled. "Flurry remember me? Gosh, look how big you got." Her smile waved, she always wanted foals but deep down she knew she never is brave enough.
"Eeeee," Flurry fussed teleporting right back to Discord. She lay on his head babbling.
Discord snickered and Fluttershy smiled. "That's fair I can't remember the lady time I saw her. She really likes you. I suppose that means your job is going well."
"Flutters I love it, it's chaotic and messy. There is never a dull moment, it's been such a long time since I have seen some creature be born with such power. It makes sense why I was hired I have more power than she does. At least for now. Who knows what she'll grow up to be?? The trouble that's what!" Discord snickered.
"She does this thing where she just pops into nothing. I always pull her back out but you should see her parent's faces. Ghost white. They bribed her with food, but no more of that I can just pluck her right out. Sometimes I hang out there with her."
"I can see why they didn't rope in Twilight. It is way too much for her. You see how stressed she is. Now I actually do something. Instead of walking around waiting for you to be free. No offense to Sombra but he can get boring after a few hours."
Discord stopped rambling as soon as he noticed Fluttershy staring at her closet. "Flutters?"
"Oh?! Well, go on. Sorry how rude of me I-"
"If something is wrong you can tell me. I built those teleporters for you. Do you need more? They aren't hard to make and I'm making more for Granny Smith. A favor to Sombra."
"Oh noo, noo it's. Wait you are? I didn't know that. Twilight will be so proud I know it, she-"
Discord tried to ignore Fluttershys's argument for Twilight he did. The more he held in his anger the more red he saw, the redder he saw the more angry he got. Until he could no longer hold his boiling frustration. "No more Twilight," Discord huffed, banging the table. The plates and cups clinked and clattered. A growl permeated from deep within his chest.
"Waaaa," Flurry cried teleporting to Discord's muzzle.
"Oh no. It's ok." He cooed lifting her from his face to his arms. He cradled her in his paw and held her against his chest. He took a deep breath before he continued. "I didn't mean to yell....."
Fluttershy frowned, holding his claw in her hoof. "I'm sorry Discord I didn't know how frustrated you were. I was...trying to help. After the whole Grogar incident she took everything you ever earned, it was too much." For a moment the cottage was overcome by a babbling baby. "Why didn't you say anything to me? If you had told me about your plan we could have worked on something. You have to talk to me or it'll just happen again. You know I'd never use my element and I won't tell a soul. So please Discord, talk to me."
Discord struggled, stuttering over every letter making no more sense then the baby drooling over his tail.
Fluttershy just sighed, "I have shared so much that I have not shared with my best friends. I don't understand."
Discord gripped the table tightly, "she doesn't want me, my help, or my ideas. She wants me out of her mane and that's what I'm doing. I just really thought Celestia orchestrated most of your adventures I didn't realize that.... she rarely had a hoof in it. She's your friend, she's the princess of friendship. I know I shouldn't resent her..." It tumbled out of his muzzle, his feelings in all their glory. Too late to scramble them back up and hide them away. Discord's muzzle hung low and he froze in place. "I didn't mean that I-,"
"Yet you always show up when Pinkie and I insist. Oh, Discord I wish you had told me. I wish you would tell me a lot of things." Fluttershy whimpered she couldn't help the tears that ran down her cheeks.
Discord paused again, "I try to. I'm so old and tired...I'm so tired. I'll try to." Discord took a moment to steady his breathing. His lips tingles, his arms tingled, and his chest struggled to take in air. "I'll try to tell you my thoughts next time. As for my past, how about we strike a deal?" He snapped up a dancing pen and checkered paper. Quickly writing something down he then sealed it in an envelope and gave it to Fluttershy. "There....if you want to know you can find out or let it go. This...is how I'm willing to tell you."
Fluttershy gently held the envelope, she wished he'd just tell her. She understood why he couldn't, or why he wouldn't. "Are you sure?"
"You want to know, I want you to know but I can't find a way to talk about it. So yes and I'm sorry I was so confident about what I was doing." Discord rarely apologized sincerely so he hoped Fluttershy would take that to heart.
Fluttershy smiled and tucked the envelope into her mane. She wished she could peek into his head and now she had the opportunity to.
