Silver Spoon barely registered that the door was opened, it wasn't like she had any appointments left today, all she wanted was to finish her overtime at the office and go home.

"I'm busy," she mumbled, signing yet another file and reaching for the next.

It refused to budge, she tugged at it, setting down her quill so she could tug at it with both hooves. Actually, that seemed to be the problem, there was already a second hoof on the file.

It was pink. Silver blinked, her hooves weren't pink.

Realization dawned and she looked up to find the face of her best friend, frowning down at her.

"I can see that," Diamond Tiara replied, sounding both concerned and disapproving, like usual then.

"Look," Silver began, and then caught herself, there was no need to be rude. "It's nice to see you, but I really must get back to work."

The pink mare just snorted. "It's 8:30, your shift ended over two hours ago, what the hay?"

Silver groaned eloquently and squinted at the clock, it was indeed, 8:27.

"Only almost," she shot back, not being able to think up a better retort.

"Uhuh?" Diamond replied, how was she able to be so eloquent without even speaking, it wasn't fair.

"Look, I'm just doing a bit of overtime," she rallied, feeling more assertive now, almost daring to meet her friend's eyes. "It's tax season, I have a lot more to do than other months."

But Diamond wasn't having it, with a flick of her hoof she ripped the folder away from Silver's feeble grasp and read the title.

"Hay, you can't do that, it's confidential!" Silver shot up to stop her, or at least tried to, her legs had fallen asleep and Diamond Tiara easily danced out of reach. Silver's back gave a painful twinge as she slumped back in her chair.

"Please?" she begged, "I could get in trouble."

Diamond let out a thoughtful noise, as if she seriously considered whether or not to do it, then flipped the file over so Silver could read it.

"Barnyard Bargains, Manhattan Branch," the pink mare read aloud, a very satisfied smirk on her pretty face. "That is to say my company. So your confidentiality is safe."

Just to prove the point she flipped it open and skimmed a few pages. Silver took to opportunity to rub a hoof against the small of her back, it still twinged after her lunge, or more accurately after having spent hours bent over her desk.

Perceptive as usual Diamond noticed her pain, she always did, she was good at pain, the sadist.

"How long have you been sitting there?" Diamond asked, it sounded like an accusation.

How long had she sitting there? "I took a walk on my lunch break," she eventually said after squirming a bit.

"Yeah, that was eight hours ago."

Diamond didn't look pleased.

"You need a break."

Silver didn't reply, she knew Diamond was right, "but I have to finish the files for toda-"

She didn't get to finish as her friend cut her off.

"Shush you." She demanded, and then held up the folder. "This is all you have left today?" It was a rather thick file, Barnyard Bargains was doing quite well in the big city since Diamond took over.

Silver nodded in the affirmative.

"Then buck it." With a flick of her hoof Diamond sent the offending file to land on a nearby filing cabinet. "Technically you are working for me with that report, and the customer says you can finish it tomorrow."

"I don't work for y-" Silver protested but was cut off again.

"I said shush," the pink mare repeated herself. "Look, I get that you value your independence, I really do, but my company is hiring yours for the accounting, so if I say there's no rush then there's no need for you to work yourself into the ground just to finish it."

Silver wanted to protest but, "Thank you," she grumbled. It really had been a long day, and she knew her friend was looking out for her, even if she always did it in the most overbearing way possible.

"That's better," Diamond nodded in approval, "Now I brought you something to eat."

She turned around and Silver felt herself blushing. Diamond never changed.

"I'm really not in the mood for... you know *that kind of eating*," she mumbled. It was 'nice' of Diamond to offer, but it had been a long day and the last thing she wanted now was to fillyfool with her best 'friend'.

"Duh." Diamond rolled her eyes, turning back to face Silver with that everpresent smirk of hers and something brown in her hoof. "Yeah, you're not eating me again until you start taking better care of yourself."

A paper bag landed on Silver's desk, the smell of it was mouthwatering.

"So I brought thaifood, eat up."

The accountant didn't even have time to snark back as she dove on the bag of delicious smelling stir fry.

Diamond however was not above getting in a last snarky comment while Silver stuffed her face.

"When you've finished I'll take you home, and if you're really nice I'll give you a backrub too, it looks like you need one."

"Mffghml," Silver agreed, mouth full of rice and spices. Sometimes she was really glad to have a friend like Diamond Tiara.

Author's Note

So the prompt this time was Back Pain and... come on, I can't write horror all the time and I had an idea for a romance fic with an older Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, and this scene felt like it fit the prompt.
