A Flurry Of Love And Kindness

A year had passed since you first arrived in Equestria, and more importantly, the Crystal Empire. Life was, and still is, nice in the Crystal Empire. You met Cadence, the ruler of the Crystal Empire, as well as her two husbands, Shining and Blade, and Blade’s son, Raging

Of course, you met Cadence and Shining’s daughter, Flurry Heart, right when you awoke in the snow just outside of the Crystal Empire. She was somepony you got along with perfectly, as the two of you didn’t argue often, and did things together frequently.

As of now, you awoke to an alarm clock in your bedroom. As if you were a cartoon character, you brought your fist down on it, only to regret that and really hurt your fist. Instead of going to the next level, you just unplugged it and glanced over at the calendar. Most of the events had already been marked off, today was Hearts And Hooves day, and-

Wait, what the fuck? you thought as you got out of bed. You had zero fucking clue as to what the hell “Hearts And Hooves day“ was, but considering all the lovey-duvey shit you heard on the same day last year, you came to the conclusion that Hearts And Hooves Day was essentially Equestria’s Valentine’s Day.

This didn’t panic you all that much, as all it reminded you of was how girls often belittled you, or flat out ignored you, and when asked, they’d say you were too nerdy and you probably couldn’t defend your own life, which you could, but by the time you were able to, you had already been taken out of school, so that meant no dream girl or soulmate for you.

When Hearts and Hooves rolled around last year, Cadence offered to help you find somepony to spend time with, just so you wouldn’t be lonely, but since you saw love as a cruel and time-consuming mistress, you shrugged it off, thanked her for the offer, and moved on.

But one thing you enjoyed the most was spending time with Flurry Heart. After hearing how much she cared for you, after accidentally getting stabbed by her, it warmed your heart anytime you spent time with her. When you were cleared from the hospital, you kept to your promise, and with a little help from Cadence, the two of you spent the rest of that day at the spa until it closed, getting massages and and enjoying the sauna, god, you swore it was better than most back on Earth, and at one point, Flurry sat next to you and fell asleep with her head on your shoulder, and you thought it was so cute.

You checked the time, and this time, it was 7 am, which meant it was a weekend instead of a weekday, which in itself was a blessing. Not wasting any time, you yawned as you grabbed your robe and headed for the shower.

For a guest room, the bathroom, was indeed beautiful. It had some of the best shampoos and conditioners you’ve seen. You turned on the shower, and stepped in, getting clean with body wash first. Then you remembered even more about you and Flurry Heart. After that one day, you continued to train her, and she would have better control over avoiding armed attackers, and more importantly, disarming them safely. Once she had that figured out, you moved onto teaching her hand-to-hand combat, which, while easier than armed combat, took her a while to actually get the hang of, and soon enough, she was sweeping you off your feet with her hooves and pinning you down by your wrists. She had come a long way after meeting you, and it made Shining smile, seeing his daughter able to defend herself.

As you were taking a shower, you heard a knock at your room door, “Good morning! Are you awake yet?“ you recognized that voice as Cadence’s

“I am, but I’m in the shower, Cadence, could you wait until I’m finished?“ you said, applying shampoo to your hair

“Oh, that’s alright! Take your time, dear!“ she called out, and you continued showering. Over the last year, you also spent plenty of time with Princess Cadence, as she’d often have you teach her guards your self-defense tactics, as well as play chess with her, which made her very happy

Finally, you finished with your shower, coming out in your robe, as you didn’t want to keep Cadence waiting. You opened your door to her as you smiled, “Good morning to you, Princess” you said as she giggled, and it turned out she had a tray with two cups of coffee on them. You moved aside as she walked in and set the tray down on the coffee table softly.

“Good morning!” she said, hugging you as she giggled and petted your hair, but stopped when it was still wet, “ehehehe, sorry about that”

“Eh, it’s fine. What brings you to my room this morning?” you asked her as you got a fresh set and went into your closet to change, and she sat down patiently in a chair in your room

“Well, as you probably know, today is Hearts And Hooves Day. I figured I’d try to find somepony for you to spend some time with, and if no one’s found, then you could spend time with me” she offered as you came out of the closet, changed into a new set of clothes

“As fun as that sounds, spending a day with the princess of love… alone, I’d rather not get your husbands all jealous, you know?” you said, grabbing your cup softly and taking a sip

“I mean… true, but, it hurts me seeing somepony without a special somepony or friend on Hearts And Hooves Day…” she said, sighing as she looked down, but you put an arm around her and patted her head softly

“Cadence, I’ll be okay. I don’t exactly need somepony to make me happy on this day” you said, trying to comfort her as she looked at you with a sad expression

“Why are you so… hesitant… about Hearts and Hooves Day?” she asked you, tearing up a little

You sighed, knowing if you lied to her, it’d only dig a deeper hole, so you held her hands softly and looked into her eyes.

“Look, Cadence, here’s why” you said, letting go of her hands, though she locked one of hers with yours softly, “I don’t look forward to days like this because of how I used to be ignored or made fun of because of my intelligence. None of the girls I met, during my time in school, ever liked me, calling me a nerd and saying I wasn’t their type” you explained as she teared up more

“But sweetie… you’re not any of those things…” she said, now hugging you as she scratched your back softly

“I know that, but days like these just remind me of… failure” you said, sighing as Cadence kissed your cheek and got your attention

“Sweetie, you’re not a failure and you’re not a nerd either, you’re somepony who’s done a lot for myself, my family, and my dear Flurry Heart. Speaking of her, I have something to tell you that she hasn’t told you yet” she said, giggling a little as you raised an eyebrow

“And what’s that?” you asked. Flurry told you almost anything about her, except for her goth phase, so you felt as though you could trust her

“Flurry Heart…” she got closer, thinking Flurry was outside the door, and whispered in your ear softly, “…has a crush on you”

“Really, she does?” you asked, as you were curious as to whether or not she had a crush on you. Such examples were anytime you and her went to the spa, and you’d find her staring often at your muscles and chest, blushing when you caught her. Another was when she was training with you in hand-to-hand, as whenever you pinned her down, she’d blush red, and whenever she pinned you down, she’d Boop your nose and giggle playfully.

“You do not know how much she talks about you when you’re not around” she said as she giggles, which basically confirmed that Flurry Heart had a crush on you, which still amazed you. Out of all the possible kind-hearted stallions, Flurry had a crush on you, a human.

“Well, that is… pretty sweet, though I don’t know much about romance…” you said, scratching your head softly as she giggled and ruffled your hair, which had dried up by now

“Romance doesn’t take much, in fact, it all comes from here” she said, pressing a finger against your chest softly

“My heart?” you asked

“Exactly! If your feelings for somepony are genuine, then it can work out. I know Flurry’s feelings for you are genuine, but I wanna know how you feel towards her“ Cadence said as you blushed a little

“W-Well, while Flurry can be cocky and sometimes childish, she’s very passionate about her family, and clearly is very passionate about spending time with me. Not to mention, over the past few months, she’s become smarter and more talented, making her fun to train with“ you said, getting a giggle out of Cadence

“Awwwww, somepony has a crush on my Flurry Heart~” she teased as you blushed more, but laughed as she ruffled your hair more, “I can tell you have a good heart, sweetie. You’re perfect for my Flurry Heart, and it wouldn’t take the Crystal Heart for me to see that, so I’m going to say it now: Welcome to the family, dear” she said, opening her arms to you as you hugged her tightly

“Thank you, I appreciate it… mom” you said, getting a giggle out of her as she booped you.

“Save it for your wedding, silly, but I appreciate that” she said, hugging you as she got up. By now, you and her had finished your coffees. She got up and took the tray, heading for the door, “Do something special with Flurry today, she’d love it!” she said as she left your room, closing the door gently.

Well shit, now I gotta come up with something to do with Flurry you thought was you checked how much bits you had. Between training the guards and Flurry, you would earn 100 bits a week, so by now, you had at least a thousand, maybe more, in your wallet.

Your thoughts were interrupted as you heard another knock at the door. There was no response from who it was, so you walked to it and looked through the peephole, finding nopony there, so you turned your back and went to brush your teeth, but got another knock at the door. You checked again, and suspected that Flurry was hiding out of view, so you opened the door and looked out into the hall, and nopony was there. You even checked all the way down the hall, and you couldn’t see anypony. You sighed, walking back in your room, unaware of something following you in.

You walked towards your bathroom, only to feel something push you down and pin you down on your bed. You weren’t sure what it was as you wiggled and squirmed, but then you heard the sound of magic as your ’attacker’ revealed themselves, and it was none other than Flurry Heart.

“Gotcha!~“ she said with a hint of seduction, and booped your nose. This reminded you of your hand-to-hand combat, as anytime she’d pin you down, she’d boop you in a playful sense

“Must we dance this dance now, you tease?“ you asked, giggling a little as she got off you and you both sat side by side on your bed softly

“Not now, but do you realize what day it is? It’s Hearts and Hooves Day!“ she said, hugging you tightly, and you felt warm, being hugged by her. You hugged her back and petted her mane, making her blush and giggle

“Yeah, I guess it is…“ you said, sighing. You felt nervous around Flurry for some reason, as she’d been your first genuine crush that felt the same way, so it made you feel uneasy.

“What’s the matter?” she asked, rubbing your back softly

“I’m just…“ you couldn’t tell her that you were feeling uneasy or nervous around her, as it’d probably hurt her, so you took a deep breath, “I’m thinking of where to take you for Hearts and Hooves Day, yeah“

She gasped and it was as if her eyes lit up, “R-Really?! W-What’d you have in mind?“ she asked as she blushed a little

“Maybe…“ you thought of all the possible places to go, but then you remembered. A few days prior, it was announced that Rara and her human lover, Tenor, would be doing a duet of the song ’Closer’, which you knew was by The Chainsmokers. You looked at the calendar, and saw that since Hearts and Hooves day was on a Friday, the whole weekend would be themed around the holiday, so with that, you knew what you were going to do, “Oh, I know! Rara’s performing in Canterlot on Saturday. I got enough bits to cover the train ride, and enough to cover a three night stay from tonight to Sunday night, and then we leave Monday morning back to the Crystal Empire“

Flurry gasped as she hugged you as tight as she could, which felt great as she nuzzled you, “I love it! It sounds amazing! So, what should we pack? Also, what will we do on Sunday?“

“Well, we should pack a change of clothes for Saturday, Sunday, and for when we leave on Monday after showering. When we arrive in Canterlot and check into a hotel, we’ll have dinner at The Tasty Treat. Saturday, we’ll tour Canterlot and see the beauty of it until around 7:00 PM, when Rara and Tenor will be performing. Then Sunday, we’ll pay a visit to Twilight, cause you said you haven’t seen her in a while, correct?“ you explained, waiting for a response

“Right, yeah, she’ll want to know how I’m doing“ Flurry said, sighing a little, “I like the sound of this trip! Eeeeee! I’m so excited!“

“Me too, Flurry, me too“ you said, “Now, go get stuff packed, as I still gotta get my teeth brushed and my hair combed“ you said, motioning to your intense bedhead

“Hehe, okay. Which one of us is gonna tell them?“ she said, and she did have a point, as if you two just disappeared, it’d cause panic, so you cleared your throat

“I will, you worry on packing a suitcase“ you said as she saluted and smiled

“Yes sir!“ she said as she bolted out of the room, making you laugh a little. Now you were starting to understand your feelings towards the princess, as even though she could be cocky and childish, she always seemed to know how to make you smile.

You proceeded to head into your bathroom, grabbing your toothbrush as you put toothpaste on it and began brushing, getting all around before spitting it all out. After that, you took to your hair, styling it nicely and making sure it didn’t look like a bird’s nest.

With that out of the way, you got to packing a suitcase. You packed three shirts, a pair of PJs, some jeans and shorts, three pairs of underwear, and three pairs of socks. You also thought about the beach, as they were very beautiful in Canterlot, but you put it off for another time. By now, you had everything you needed, which was perfect.

“So, you two are planning on heading to Canterlot for the weekend to attend Rara’s show? That sounds so sweet!” Cadence said, squealing and giggling a little, “So you’re sure you can cover the cost?”

“Absolutely, I’m confident that it’s all good. In the months I’ve worked, I’ve at least gotten…” you took a sec, “like 4,000 bits. I still thought 100 bits a week was a bit much”

“Nonsense! You taught my girl how to defend herself, and even taught the guards more advanced tactics in both armed and hand-to-hand combat! I even said on day one that I felt as though you’d be a great asset to the Crystal Empire, and I was right!” Cadence said, getting a little overexcited as she cleared her throat, “Anyways, you two are clear to go, and Flurry…” Cadence said, turning to her daughter.

“Yeah mom?” she said as all her family members hugged her, and she hugged them back, “Thank you all, I’ll be back”

“We’ll miss you, Flurry. Have fun out there” Shining said as he kissed his daughter’s forehead softly, making her giggle

“You better not knock her up!” Raging warned, glaring at you, only for his expression to soften as his father, Blade, raised an eyebrow and he sheepishly said, “Have fun… or whatever…” he pouted, not exactly comfortable with his big sister being all alone with a male.

“We’ll be back on Monday, in the morning” you said as you and Flurry began leaving for the station, heading for the doors

“Wait!” you heard Cadence as you both turned around, “Want me to escort you both there, that way I can say goodbye one last time before you both go?”

You and Flurry exchanged looks, then looked at her and nodded as you said, “It would be nice, so yes”

“Wonderful!” Cadence said as she joined the two of you and left the throne room.

After arriving at the train station and getting two first class tickets to Canterlot, which made Flurry even more excited, you both said your goodbyes to Cadence as Flurry hugged her mom

“I’ll miss you, mom, but I’ll be back” she said, getting a cheek kiss from her mom

“I know sweetie, you two have fun, and you…” she said as she hugged you, “Take good care of my daughter, you hear?”

“You got it, your majesty“ you promised, getting a forehead kiss from Cadence as you giggled

“Great! Alright, you two, have fun, and say hi to Twilight for me if you see her!“ Cadence said as you both boarded the train and showed the conductor your tickets, heading to first class.

The two of you took your seats, and god dayum, the seats weren’t first class for nothing, as the seats were very soft.

Flurry stretched and yawned as she rested her head on your shoulder, and you let her, putting your arm around her as she put her arms around you, “Wake me when we get there, okay?” she said, clearly ready to fall asleep on you at any moment.

“As you wish, princess” you said, giggling. You pet her mane, and sure enough, she was out like a light. You combed her mane with your hand softly, getting soft hums as she quietly snored. You could only imagine the many things you’d do with her once the two of you got to Canterlot.

You watched out the window as empty landscape passed by. You rarely ever left the Crystal Empire, so this was like a treat, seeing how vast and long it was, and it’d be a while before the two of you got to the Crystal Empire

A few hours later, the two of you had reached Canterlot, and had gotten off the train. The two of you traveled through the streets, seeing all the ponies of Canterlot pass by. For some odd reason, the sound of your suitcases rolling on the sidewalks of Canterlot was oddly soothing.

After some time, the two of you made it to the hotel you’d be staying at. When choosing a hotel, you reached out to Songbird, and she said that Canterlot Hotel was one of the best in the city, hence why you picked it out. It also had a workout room, a pool, and its own hot tub near the pool.

The two of you checked into the hotel, walking up to the desk as the receptionist greeted you both, but recognized Flurry and bowed, “Welcome, Princess Flurry Heart. Do you have a room reservation?“

“Sure do! From tonight to Monday morning!“ she said, itching with excitement, and you smiled

“Excellent, here’s your room key“ he said, dropping the key to the penthouse suite into her hands, and she squealed. After she was finished, the two of you took to the elevator, getting in and going to the penthouse suite.

“You know, you didn’t have to get us the penthouse suite, you sweet boy“ she teased as the elevator ascended

“Well, the princess deserves only the best, right?“ you asked, getting a giggle from her as she held your hand softly.

“Oh stop~ you’re gonna make me blush…“ she said as the elevator opened on the penthouse suite, and the two of you saw a room at the end of the hallway. Once you two got to the room, you opened the door for Flurry as she walked in and gasped, “Oh my gosh! It looks amazing! I take it back, this was definitely worth it!“ she said as she plopped onto one of the beds in the room and giggled

You brought in both of your suitcases, sticking them in a small closet as you sighed, “I’m looking forward to this fun weekend“

“Samesies! We’re gonna have so much fun!“ she said as she hugged you tightly, which made you blush as you hugged her back. She noticed and looked a little confused, then giggled, “Heh, somepony’s blushing~“

“It’s hot in here, okay?” you lied, trying not to seem awkward around her.

“Heh, sure it is” she said, “So, are you gonna take me out to dinner?~”

“R-Right! Yeah, I said I’d do that, hehe…” you giggled sheepishly, clearing your throat as you got your bits together and took her hand, “Let’s get going then” you said as she nodded and leaned on you softly

“Guide me, white knight~” she flirted, causing you to blush a little, and she giggled.

Strolling through Canterlot was beautiful, but you felt uneasy as you and Flurry walked the streets. You remembered how Cadence told you that Canterlot nobles didn’t take too kindly to Royalty or Celebrities hanging around humans, but it seemed tame compared to what she said. Regardless, many of the nobles looked at you the wrong way and just sighed, and it seemed like they wouldn’t say anything. Probably to avoid being called out.

Eventually, you came to the Tasty Treat, which looked a lot more fleshed out than what you had perviously speculated. Seems as though the Tasty Treat had truly gained popularity.

Wasting no time, you and Flurry walked in, not seeing too many ponies, which made sense, as it was to be expected due to it being 9 o clock, yet they hadn’t closed up.

As the two of you waited at the entrance, a stallion approached you both and smiled, saying, “Welcome to the Tasty Treat, Princess Flurry Heart! I am Coriander Cumin. Do you happen to have a reservation?“

“Mmmmm, not exactly, no“ she said, sweating a little

“Well, that’s perfectly alright! We have plenty of tables, so please, follow me“ he said, leading you both to a table for two. You took the opportunity and pulled out a chair for Flurry to sit in, and she giggled at your kindness. After you were both sat down, he nodded and passed you both menus, “Take your time in ordering you two, and somepony will be with you both to take your orders“

“Thank you“ you said as he nodded and walked off, “Quite the place, I’d say. For a small restaurant, it’s got a well-mannered staff“

“I’ve never actually been here myself, but my Great Auntie, Celestia, would tell me about how great this place was, and now I see why. I have a feeling their food is great too, as they’ve apparently got a really good dish called ’vegetable-style enchilada’. It sounds tasty!“ she said, barely containing her excitement

After skimming through the menu, a light brown-coated mare came to your table, speaking in an Indian accent, “Good evening! I am Saffron Masala and I will be taking your orders tonight! May I get you both a drink to start off with?“

“I’ll take an iced water“ you said

“And tea for me, please“ Flurry said, getting a nod from Saffron

“And what would you both like to eat?“ she asked as you both looked at each other, then back at her

“Vegetable-style enchilada“ you both said in unison as Saffron giggled and wrote it down.

“Wonderful! Coming right up!“ she said, walking back into the kitchen from where she came.

Flurry was blushing a little as she twirled her hair a little, and you felt a tad embarrassed too. Eventually, you decided to break the silence.

“That was… Cute…“ you said, which made her blush red a little

“Y-Yeah, I guess it was…“ she said as she cleared her throat and sighed as her blush faded, “Ahem, so… do anything cool lately?“

“Eh, not really“ you said as you yawned, and so did Flurry, but the two of you would have to wait no longer as Saffron came with a tray, holding two vegetable-style enchiladas

“Here is your food, I hope you enjoy!“ she said, smiling as she walked away, looking as if she’d bring your drinks, and luckily, that didn’t take long, as she came back with your drinks and placed them on the table, “And your drinks. Have a good night, Princess!“ Saffron said as Flurry smiled softly.

“You too Saffron, and thank you“ she said, getting a smile out of Saffron as she walked away.

You were the first to dig into your vegetable-style enchilada, and it tasted absolutely delicious. The taste was very exquisite, and Flurry thought so too as she nodded after tasting it.

“For an all-veggie enchilada, this is really good“ you commented, taking a bite out of your enchilada as Flurry giggled

“It is delicious is what it is. I can see why the enchilada is one of their signature dishes“ she said, taking a bite out of her enchilada.

Minutes passed by as the two of you ate, and soon enough, you both finished your enchiladas as you both just drank your drinks.

“So Flurry“ you said, getting her attention, “Do you have… Anypony special in your life?“

“Anypony special? Well, there’s my mom, my brother…“ she said as you sighed and held up a finger.

“Not what I meant. Do you have anypony who you have feelings for?“ you asked, getting a blush out of her

“W-Well…“ she stuttered, sweating a little bit, “I-I do… but It’s personal… you understand, right?”

“Yeah, it’s fine” you said, finishing your enchilada first. You wipes your mouth as she finished her enchilada and sighed contently

“Oh my gosh, that was the best! S tier, for sure!” she said, earning a giggle from you

“Flurry, your excitement always gets a smile out of me” you said, getting a light blush out of her

“Thank you, that’s very nice of you” she said as she finished hers, and right on time too as Saffron came back over to y’all’s table

“Did you both enjoy your dishes?” she asked as you both nodded, which made her smile, “I’m glad. Would you like the check?”

“Yes please” you said as she had it on hand and placed it on the table softly

As you were reaching into your wallet, Flurry placed a hand on yours and said, “I’ll cover it, thank me later” she said as she opened her purse and pulled the exact amount of bits out, plus a little extra, “And that should be it. Saffron, your enchiladas are amazing, they were delicious”

“I appreciate that, though it was my husband, Rasoiya, who made them. It’s his specialty dish, Isn’t that right, dear?” she asked out loud as a human came from the kitchen to your table and smiled a little, wrapping one of his arms around Saffron softly

“That’s correct, dear. Nice to see we have royalty visiting our restaurant. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Princess Flurry Heart” Rasoiya said, holding his hand out to be shaked as she took and shook it

“Pleasure to meet you, Rasoiya, your enchiladas were very tasty” she commented, getting an agreeable nod from you

“I’m glad you enjoyed them, princess. I assume the two of you are finished?” he asked as you pointed to the bill and he picked it up, counting the bits as he nodded, “Wonderful! Thank you for choosing the Tasty Treat, we hope you visit again!”

“We will, and we’ll recommend you to our friends and family” you said, which made Flurry’s eyes widen as you and her got up, heading out the door

“Stay safe, you two!” Saffron called out as the two of you left the Tasty Treat, and Flurry looked at you weird as you both went back to your hotel room

After you and Flurry got back into your hotel room, she said she wanted to talk to you… after she took a shower.

Waiting on your bed, you heard the shower stop as the lights in the bathroom turned off and Flurry stepped out in a robe, her mane tied up with a towel as she sat down next to yo softly.

“I really appreciate you taking me out to dinner, but I’m a bit curious as to why you said ‘our friends and family’. From what you told me, you didn’t have any family here in Equestria, so why did you say that?” she asked as you sighed and put an arm around her softly, making her blush

“Well, if I’m being honest Flurry… your family is like family to me, if that makes any sense” you said, feeling awkward

“So… what am I to you?” she asked you. You wanted to tell her on the last night, so you thought of an answer she’d at least like.

“I’d say… you’re like a close friend” you said, getting a hug from her as she giggled

“That’s very sweet of you, I appreciate that” she said, ruffling your hair a little, “So, concert’s tomorrow, I’m looking forward to it”

“Same. Goodnight Flurry” you said as you laid down, but she laid down with you as you looked at her, “Um… what are you-?” you tried to say as she placed a finger on your lips softly

“Shhhhhhhhhh, go to sleep~” she said as you groaned and rested your head on your pillow, feeling the alicorn princess behind you wrap her arms around you. You drifted off to sleep and into the next day

The next day, you woke early to get breakfast and shower up, as today would be the day of the concert. Though, when you tried to get outta bed, you found a certain somepony hugging you around your waist tightly, and even though you tried wriggling out from her grip, she kept a strong hold. For a mare, it seemed all that training had gotten her muscles all nice and strong, which made you blush.

You twitched some more, getting nowhere, so you softly petted her mane until she groaned softly and woke up, “Mmmmmmm, five more minutes…“

“Really? We’re doing this?“ you asked her as she gave you a noogie, which made you wince

“I said… five more minutes…“ she said, yawning as she closed her eyes and fell back asleep. You groaned, giving up as you turned back over and fell asleep.

Course, you just couldn’t sleep, so you mostly just laid with your eyes open, not feeling sleepy at all. Not wanting to be trapped in her embrace, you tickled her a little, which was enough to get her to let you go, and was enough for you to slip out and grab a towel, heading into the bathroom before you felt a hand grab your arm.

“You really thought you could escape from me, huh?~ Not on my-“ you booped her as she lost her grip and you ran into the bathroom, “Hey!” she called out as you stripped down

“Flurry, I need to get ready for today!” you called out as she sighed and whined

“Why couldn’t you sleep in with me longer?” she whined a little louder

“Flurry, if you don’t remember, tonight’s the night of the concert” you said, turning on the shower as she groaned.

“But that isn’t until 7! We could’ve at least slept in a little longer!” she complained as you washed up, using body wash as you scrubbed your body all over, soon moving onto your hair as you put shampoo in it

“Just be patient, Flurry, I’ll be out soon” you said as you were currently rinsing out your hair. After you were finished, you walked out as Flurry wasted no time in throwing you on the bed, and luckily you had your robe on, “F-Flurry! I have to g-get-“

“Save it for later! I need somepony to cuddle with!“ she barked as she laid down next to you and hugged you, closing her eyes as she snuggled into your chest.

Groaning, you simply just petted her mane as she giggled and fell asleep. You wondered if this is what it would be like if you and her were in a relationship, but that would be a thought for another time.

It was now 6:30, and you and Flurry were headed to the concert. For most of the day, you and her slept, and got lunch in between all that sleeping.

As the two of you walked down the streets of Canterlot, the many lights really was a sight, as you both walked close. Flurry insisted on holding your hand as you both walked through the streets.

“Did you really have to hold my hand?“ you asked her as she nuzzled you

“What, I can’t hold hands with my bestie? Cold…“ she sighed as you felt bad, side-hugging her as her tail wagged, “Thank you!”

“Yeah yeah, relax” you said as the two of you came to a crowd of ponies, and it seemed they were here for the concert.

After 15 minutes, you and Flurry got into the concert with your tickets and took your spots. You had paid for spots up front to really enjoy the action, and the concert looked to be just starting as Rara came on stage.

“Good evening Canterlot! We’re so glad to have you all here tonight! Me and my husband, Tenor, will be performing a duet of a song called ‘Closer’. From what I’ve heard, it’s a very great song, and we want to share it with you tonight, right Tenor?” she said as her human husband, Tenor, joined her on stage.

“That’s right everypony. As we sing this song tonight, it’ll make each and every one of you want to pull your special somepony closer as you listen to our voices. And without further ado, on with the show!” Tenor said as the music began, and you and Flurry exchanged a smile

Last night was intense, as you and Flurry partied hard, and ordered room service back at the hotel. You both kinda just talked about how great the concert was, bonding over past life experiences, and so much more.

Even though she could be pushy and bossy at times, you couldn’t help but feel your feelings for the alicorn princess grow. Now you were the one who held her hand, hugged her close, and so much more.

More importantly, it was Sunday, and today was as good a day as any to visit Princess Twilight, and you had a feeling it’d be a great visit.

As the two of you approached the castle, you were surprised at just how tall it was. The guards did halt you for a second, but opened up as they noticed Flurry, and just nodded, letting you and her pass through.

As you and her ascended the castle, it still amazed you how a castle this old was still standing, which meant that it likely has been well-kept for thousands of years, possibly.

After a few more sets of stairs, you both reached the throne room doors as a voice called, saying, “Be right there!”

After standing there for a few minutes more, the door opened to a purple alicorn, who had a smile on her face, “Hello there! What brings you to my-?” she gasped as she noticed Flurry Heart and hugged her niece, “Flurry! So good to see you! Come in, come in!” she said as you both walked in with her, “So, who’s your friend?”

“Oh, he’s been here for a while, didn’t I tell you?” she asked Twilight as she chuckled sheepishly

“Oh, so this is him! He definitely does seem like a nice guy” Twilight said as you and Flurry took a seat on a couch in the living room

“He really is. So, I gotta use the bathroom, auntie, entertain him while I’m gone” Flurry said, walking off somewhere as you were left in front of the princess of Equestria

After a few minutes of silence, the princess broke the silence, “So… what’s your name?” she asked as you introduced yourself.

“A fine name for a fine gentleman” she said, giggling a bit, “So, my niece has told me a lot about you. Is it true you taught her hand-to-hand combat and armed combat?”

“I taught her everything she knows about that” you said, smiling a little

“Still surprised she found you out in the snow. How did you not freeze to death?” she asked as you scratched your chin softly. You didn’t think about it that way, how did you survive being buried in the snow when you woke up?

“Dunno, guess I was just lucky. I’d hate to have died right as I was thrust into a new world” you said as you shrugged

“Did she really stab you?”

“Yes.”

“Do you two hold hands?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you two have the same dessert prefe-“ she tried to continue as you cleared your throat

“Okay, what the hell is with all the questions?” you asked, getting a sheepish giggle out of her

“I’m really sorry, I’m just curious as to what my niece sees in you” she said, sighing a little

“Clearly she sees a lot” you said, hearing hooves approach as Flurry came back

“What’ve you two been talking about while I was gone?” she asked as she sat next to you

“Well, mostly-“ Twilight started as you sighed

“She proceeded to ask me a ton of questions” you said, which caused Flurry to glare at her aunt

“Auntie! He’s not like every other coltfriend I’ve had!” she said, groaning a little bit.

“I was just making sure he wasn’t taking advantage of you, sweetie. I know you told me all those good things about him, but I’m just a little unsure about him” Twilight said, making Flurry huff as you sighed

“Look, princess. I can assure you my feelings for your niece are genuine. I wouldn’t dare break her heart. Despite the fact that she can be pushy and demanding…” you said as Flurry squinted at you and punched you firmly, making you wince, “…she’s somepony that I’m very lucky to have by my side” you said as Flurry smiled at you and hugged you softly

Twilight looked shocked, but then her expression softened, as she saw it in your eyes that you meant it, “I’d say she’s very lucky to have you too. I mean, you brought her so much joy, not just in experience, but in your life experiences together”

“That’s sweet of you, Auntie. How’s the family?” Flurry asked as Twilight’s face went pale

“U-Uh… it’s not exactly easy. Moonlight’s hitting puberty, and Harmony is having trouble with her magic” Twilight explained nervously, hearing a poof of magic as a baby came flying into her arms, catching her, “And there she is, my little Harmony~” Twilight said as she was tickled Harmony, making her giggle. You and Flurry thought it was cute.

“Heh, seems you’ve got your hands full” you said, getting a giggle out of Twilight

“So very true, but I’m not alone. I have my husband Beau, my brother Spike, and his wife, Emily, so I’m not exactly a single mother, but it is still overwhelming when it’s just me” Twilight explained

As the three of you continued talking, time would pass by fast. As you all talked, you and Flurry shared a glance and smiled, knowing that you and her would likely have a future together.

As the two of you walked back to the hotel, Flurry had an arm wrapped around yours softly, smiling as you both passed through Canterlot, and back to y’alls hotel room.

As the two of you entered the penthouse, you sat on your bed as Flurry joined you, placing a hand on yours as you looked her in the eyes, and she blushed

“D-Did you really mean all that?” she asked, and you nodded softly.

“I did. Flurry, the day we met, I did think you were kinda cute, but at the same time, I just viewed you as a cocky and prideful princess. But that all changed over these last years, as I found myself growing to love you, though I didn’t tell you cause it wouldn’t’ve been the right time, but now it is, and let me say, Flurry Heart…” you paused as you pulled her into your lap softly, “…I love you”

She gasped and blushed red, breathing softly as she muttered, “I love you too… amor…”

“Amor?” you asked as you scratched your head softly.

“It’s Latin for love, as that’s what I feel between us… pure and honest love… I’ll be honest, Amor, I crushed on you the moment we started training together. I don’t know if my mom told you, but I practically obsessed over you. Even when we weren’t training, I’d train in my room, just to impress you the next time around…” she said, her cheeks blushing crimson as she softly hugged you, her breasts softly pressing against you.

“Flurry…” you said as she placed a finger on your lips and softly pushed you down onto your bed, lowering as her lips got closer to yours. 3…2…1… and her lips connected with yours. They were soft and warm, and it made your heart heat up. Not wanting her to feel left out, you kissed back and wrapped your arms around her well-toned body, which elicited a giggle out of her as your tongues danced softly.

After what felt like an hour, your lips parted with hers as she panted softly, looking down at you, “Does this mean we’re a thing, Amor? Like, Marefriend and Coltfriend?”

“Huh?” you asked, not knowing what she meant

“Sorry, Girlfriend and Boyfriend?” she asked, correcting herself. You paused for a sec, and quickly recapped your feelings for the alicorn princess, then nodded as she smiled

“Flurry, no other mare can compare to you. You caught my heart, and I’m your trophy for life” you said, seeing tears come from her eyes, so you wiped them softly, “Flurry, what’s wrong?“

“It’s just… nopony has said that to me before… Not even my ex-coltfriends…“ she said as she hugged you tightly and softly cried into your shoulder. You carefully petted her as you felt your shoulder get wet, but you didn’t care, as you soon saw her stop

“Flurry, you okay?“ you asked as she looked at you, her eyes red with tears

“I am now, my sweet Amor…“ she said, snuggling softly into your chest, “I love you so much“ she said, yawning cutely as she closed her eyes and fell asleep

“Love you too, Flurry Heart…“ you said as you softly combed her mane. It amazed you how you went from Flurry’s personal trainer, to her boyfriend, but you were glad to have met her, that much was for sure. You could only wonder where your future with her would go.
