Dangerous Love

My blood was running cold after my words with Sombra, the man was so calm and so eloquently spoken that it made me forget the reality of the situation I chose to be in. I am in one of the fanciest places in town, in which three of the guess are high level organized crime lords. It was kind of humbling because I remembered my place was, at best, a glorified stocker boyfriend of one of said crime lords. It was painfully clear that I was a child in with the adults. "Hi, precious!", speaking of children, I forgot that Tirek was coming too which of course meant she was gonna be here, that annoying little jailbait brat Cozy Glow, "I never thought I'd see you again after Tirek's whoopsie." I didn't budge or move, if I did all I would do was encourage her. She sighed and said "Aww, you're still not bitter about that are yah? You look like it never happened. I'm sorry about trickin yah like that, got to do my job you know?"

She pranced in front of me as I sighed looking at her far more modest dress that she was wearing compared to the last time I saw her. She smirked and said "You like my dress? I got it yesterday after Tirek paid me." She swirled it a bit as I took a better look at it. It was pure pink but covered in rimstones, with some hearts on the side of it. Her developing body was being clung to, however not nearly as tightly as she was before. She smirked and said "I feel so nice and happy."

I sighed and said "It's nice dress" forcing myself to give her a compliment, trying to play nice and hold no grudges. She was probably just doing her job and according to her it was a mistake. However it was hard to not have bitter feelings over being strung up like a piñata and nearly beat to death over something I had no idea about. That kind of leaves a mark, no pun intended.

Cozy asked "So are you dating, Chrysalis now or something?" that got me to turn red as Cozy smirked "Well I guess we're both in this crazy life now too." She stretched a bit. "Though I don't go to school still, you dropping out because of your sugar momma."

"No, I'm not." I said quietly looking forward "She's not my sugar momma, she's my girlfriend, there is a difference." Cozy rolled her eyes clearly not believing me. "Look, if you really were just doing your job...you mind telling me who the hell this Grogar guy is? Sombra seems pretty mad at him..."

Cozy sighed and said "Mr. Grogar was the city's king once upon a time." She crossed her arms and said "I only know what I heard from Tirek, but according to him, no one in the underworld would dare mess with Mr. Grogar. He was power and his top people enforced it."

"So who were these people?" I said looking back "Chrysalis, Sombra, and Tirek obviously...but...who else?"

"There's Mr. Discord, who's gone straight now. Tirek and him don't get along very well, especially since Mr. Grogar likes to see Discord from time to time like he's his second son or something." Cozy said pointing him out. "There's Tempest but uh...we don't talk about Tempest."

"Why not?" I said getting kind of confused. "What's wrong with this Tempest?"

"She doesn't work for Mr. Grogar anymore and not because he's to old to run the gang like Tirek, Chyrsalis, and Sombra." was Cozy's response. "Don't bring her up in front of them, they really don't like her. To be honest, it's a little scary."

"What happened?" I asked perplexed at the sudden change in attitude as she got all serious on me. "Did he hit you or something?"

"No, no," Cozy quickly, badly, corrected me which caused a slight angry glare from me but I kept my cool for now. "She got involved in stopping one of Mr. Tirek's operations. He...he did not take it well. He told me to leave his office. After he stormed out, I peaked...everything was rubble."

"Geezus..." was my response to that as I made a mental note to avoid that topic for my own health and safety. My curiosity was getting the better of me though as I asked "So, how many operations do you know of, out of curiosity."

"Well," Cozy said with a stretch "There's, Sombra, Tirek, and Chrysalis who all have a very uneasy truce, Chrysalis and Tirek especially" I started to noticed her lack of pronouns and wondered if she was just getting used to me, "There's the Diamond Dog Brothers, they're really small time and just do things for the right price." she smiled a little and said "There's Capper, he's funny, I like him." She sighed and shook a bit as I noticed.

I had to asked "Are you okay?" out of my better nature but I really didn't want to but she is giving me a hand, I think, unless she's speaking completely bullshit. However, judging by the look she was giving I don't think she was lying. Whoever this one was, it caused total fear to fill her body. Which, I won't lie,. made my blood start to run cold again myself. She's been in this longer than I have, so she might have met this one.

"The Last one of the Storm Gang." was Cozy's very hushed response to that. "The Storm Gang are very bad people, worse than anything Tirek can come up with." she stated "They're bad news, and if you come across one of their members don't say anything. Don't cross, don't do anything bad, don't bother them. They are serious news."

Thankfully, or unthankfully given who it was, I heard a familiar horned haired asshole named Tirek walking forward "Cozy, come here, Sombra wants to see you again." which caused a wave of relief to fill her as she left me alone face to face with him.

Tirek looked down at me as I realized how much he dwarfed me as a man. This guy was massive, ripped, and that red skin with his horn gave off the look of a demon. I never noticed it before, but his belt buckle was a big horseshoe, I wondered what that was about. He said "Your that kid from last night, right?"

I nodded getting myself ready to bolt to Chrysalis or someone else to avoid him if this went south. Tirek said "Sorry." then walked off leaving me confused. Tirek said "It was just business, glad to see you heal quick." then walked off.

"Just business?" I muttered to myself "What an asshole."

Chrysalis finally found me as she said "Soak it in, I don't think you'll ever experience a Tirek apology ever again." she looked at me and said "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine" I said shaking it off "Your friends are very odd."

"Sombra's a friend" Chrysalis quickly corrected "Cozy and Tirek are just people I tolerate. Anyways, shall we enjoy our night?"

I smiled at that, at how quickly my girl could take my tense mood and shift it completely. I decided that it would be best to leave my new information to myself as we enjoyed the rest of our evening as she drove me to my apartment, she walked up to me and gave me a passionate kiss.

Chyrsalis reminded me "Remember, talk with Sunset or our Twilight about what might happen if someone is exposed to Equestrian magic when they weren't before, just to be safe."

"Got it, my grey angel." I said trying to flirt which caused her to laugh as she drove off.

When I entered my apartment, I paused getting a bit of a headache but shook it off. It was probably because the party was so loud, no reason to be worried.
