Fluttershy made her way back to Bandwidth's home as the sun was setting. Her heart was calm now, but her thoughts ran with ideas of how the evening might go. She never thought he liked her, but she was no fool for how he was behaving. Even if she wasn't sure she felt the same, her heart certainly acted out of turn from her. However, it wouldn't hurt to give Bandwidth a chance.

She used the key to the door he gave her as his maid and stepped inside, her hooves clacking on the hardwood floor, "I'm back, Master."

"You don't have to call me Master, Flutters." Bandwidth said from the couch, watching a show on the screen.

"I'm not comfortable if I don't."

"That's alright. Sorry."

"No, you don't have to be." The room fell silent.

"Do you want to come over and sit by me?"

"I can," Fluttershy made her way over and sat down on the soft white couch. Before them, a massively wide screen sat inside the wall. Being a pegasus who could fly made it easier to clean such a ginormous thing. Bandwidth had explained to her how much it could do. From watching people play characters, to playing virtual games, all the way to solving problems on its own. It was a common device now to see in upper-class unicorn homes.

"Do you want to watch anything?" He asked.

"Like what?" She smiled softly.

He thought for a moment, not noticing Fluttershy nuzzling close to one of his forelegs. "What story books do you read?"

"I like fantasy books."

"Let's watch a fantasy movie, then."

"Movie?"

"It's like a book, but you can see the story in a moving picture."

"Okay."

Bandwidth sifted through many movies for her to choose from before they settled on one with monsters and heroes. Bandwidth eventually got hungry, so he made them popcorn before continuing the movie. The movie went on for a while before Fluttershy began yawning.

"Tired?" Bandwidth smiled.

"Mhm," she answered simply.

"You can go to bed, if you want. I can tell you how the movie went tomorrow."

"Okay, thanks." It takes Fluttershy a moment to get out of her drowsy state for a moment before she realizes she had been laying her head on his lap for who knows how long. Her cheeks burnt bright red as she avoided looking at him. "Good night, Master." She clamored up the stairs, pushing and closing the door to the guest bedroom before leaping face first into a pillow. "What is going on with you, Fluttershy. That was so stupid." She began to whimper in worry.

Then she began questioning herself differently. What was she getting to flustered around him for anyway? He's a stallion she cleans for. Nothing more... Right?

She groaned and whined into her pillow, "Maybe this wasn't a good idea." Why wasn't it? Her other side of conscience asked herself. He clearly likes her. Does she like him?

She took her face out of her pillow, laying on her side, and holding it close to her with her hooves. "Maybe... I don't know."

Author's Note

This was originally going to be a short clopfic, but as I was writing a part of me turned this into a romance... But don't worry, clop if coming.
