Macro/Micro Flash Fic Collection Vol 2

Version: 1

It was cold out. As far as Anon was concerned, winter sucked. Why couldn't it be summer all year long? The man grumbled as he wrapped himself in a "blanket" and shivered away.

It was at that moment that Rainbow Dash, the fastest, most agile, and hardest working weather pony in town, burst through the front door. A wall of freezing cold air raced through the house sending Anon into a new fit of shivers.

"Whew," Rainbow wheezed. "That was a hard day. ANON I'M HOME!! Where's my favorite tiny human?" she called.

Anon could hear and feel his giant marefriend approaching. She found him on the floor in front of a blazing fireplace wrapped in one of her socks. She snickered at the sight, barely holding back a laugh. "You cold Anon?"

"Y-yes. Very cold. Did you have to let so much of the heat out?" he growled.

Rainbow's ears pinned and she looked away bashfully while still dressed in her thick jacket. "Sorry Anon, I wasn't thinking. It was a lot of work today."

"What idiot schedules a blizzard?" Anon grumbled. "Who benefits from hitting towns with a blizzard? There's no point. It's stupid."

Rainbow chuckled and tossed aside her beanie. "Well somepony higher up thinks it's important to strike a balance. If heat waves in summer make trips to the beach nicer than some ponies must enjoy cold waves in winter." The pegasus tossed aside her jacket as she spoke.

Anon continued to groan and pulled the sock tighter. "I'm cold and I don't like it."

"I'm sorry Anon, I wish I could warm you up." The mare looked down at the socks she was wearing and was about to pull them off and toss them aside as well when a thought struck her. "Hey Anon?"

"What?" he barked.

"Is that sock warm enough?"

"No," Anon snorted in frustration.

"Let me get you a warmer one then."

Anon blinked. This was a pretty fluffy sock. Where was Rainbow going to get a "warmer one"?

The answer became clear in a second. One of the socks she'd just been wearing blanketed the man and hid him from the outside world. The heat and the pungent stench of pony sweat crashed into Anon in an instant. He quickly began fighting with the tube of fabric looking for freedom. The human gasped for fresh air as soon as he found it, throwing the damp cloth off of his head. Only to have a second one smother him immediately after. Rainbow laughed as he fought this one off too.

"A-are you trying to kill me?!" Anon panted, a bit out of breath from the struggle.

"Are you cold anymore?" she asked with a cheeky grin.

Anon glared. "That's not the point." Then he realized the chill was starting to hit him again because he'd not only escaped the two sweat soaked attackers but also his original dry protection. He began to shiver.

Rainbow noticed as well and rapidly ducked down toward him. With gentle hooves she grasped... her sweaty, but warm, socks and bundled Anon in them. His shivering died down but he might have turned a little green.

"This is so gross," he groaned.

Rainbow chuckled again. "Come on, I know you like how I smell."

Anon rolled his eyes. "That's your shampoo."

"Shampoo is only one ingredient in my scent," she said with a suggestive whisper.

Anon shivered, but it wasn't from the cold anymore. Maybe he could get used to this smell. If Rainbow really wanted to get into this sort of thing.
