It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that your first weekend at college was a torturous one. Every few hours started an annoying cycle; you would try to study a bit more, thoughts of Fluttershy pop up, you fixate on your perverted dreams, and then you snap out of it and realize that you haven't done much of anything.

By Sunday evening, you've barely scraped by finishing your Algebra assignment. And you're pretty sure you got every single problem wrong. But hey, at least it's over!

'Wait... Sunday evening? That means...'

"Fluttershy may be back!"

"... Who's Fluttershy?"

Oh shit. You said that last part out loud, in front of Kai.

"Uh... my study buddy?"

Kai would buy that, right?

"Uh huh..."

Kai did not buy that.

"Ugh, fine. She's this girl that I met in Algebra class. She's also in my English Comp class, so I'll be seeing her every day. But she left this weekend, and--"

"Ah, I get it," Kai interrupts. "That's why you kept zoning out."

Was it really that obvious? Apparently so.

"Well she should be back any time now," you continue, attempting to brush off Kai's rude (but true) observation. "Should I try to find her?"

"Sounds like stalking to me," Kai responds. "You really like this Fluttershy, huh?"

Your face turns bright red, and you nod. It's a little embarrassing to admit, but at least Kai doesn't know about your foot fetish.

Kai softens their tone a bit. "Just try to keep it cool, Anon. Maybe she likes you back, or maybe she doesn't, but you gotta give her some space. Besides, you'll see her tomorrow, right?"

"R-right. Thanks, Kai."

Your roommate's right. You don't wanna be a stalker. But at the same time, it's been over forty-eight hours since you've seen those captivating yellow soles. And besides, you still don't know why Fluttershy goes barefoot, and it'll drive you crazy until you do!

'Maybe some fresh air will help.'

Your stomach growls.

'And some snacks, too...'

You head to the local grocery store, hoping that the trip will give you the headspace you need. Sometimes even the most mundane task can help you focus, just as long as you're not cooped up inside your room.

'Perhaps I am fixating on Fluttershy too much...'

You head toward the snack aisle, and you know exactly what you're gonna get: some spicy chips! Those always put you into a good mood.

You reach for the bag, but your trademark butterfingers fumble it onto the ground. As you bend down to reach it, you spot a familiar set of green-painted yellow toes right in front of you.

'It can't be...'

"Is that you, Anon?"

'It is!'

"Fluttershy! What are you doing here?"

"Um... shopping?" Fluttershy responds with a giggle.

... Yeah, that was a stupid question.

"Oh yeah, right. Well uh, how was your weekend?"

"It was alright," Fluttershy replies. "It was great to see Angel and my other animal friends... but I really wish I had stayed on campus instead. I want to get used to being at college, y'know?"

She wanted to stay on campus this weekend? Well, that makes two of you.

You stare down at Fluttershy's lovely toes again. They're just as perfectly round and cute as you last saw them... But wait, is she barefoot inside of the store?!

"Doesn't this store require shoes?"

Fluttershy giggles once more. "I knew you'd ask that. Well, there's no sign anywhere saying so. Besides, I don't actually own shoes anymore."

Hold up, she's doesn't have any shoes? Your curiosity is higher than its ever been... and if you're being honest, your horniness too. But forget that, curiosity comes first!

You and Fluttershy continue to shop and share a cart. As you browse the store, you take another peek at Fluttershy's soles. They've became incredibly black, no doubt soiled by the dirty floor of the building. With every step, they seem to become more and more filthy.

"Don't you worry about your feet getting dirty?"

Your barefooted friend shakes her head. "Not really. I can always clean them pretty easily. And besides, it's kinda fun getting my soles dirty. It's sorta like a badge of confidence!"

'Confidence, huh? I mean, she's gotta have a lot of confidence to go barefoot everywhere.'

The final stop is the freezer aisle, and immediately you start to shiver a bit. Surely the cold has to bother Fluttershy, right? Her poor feet can't be shielded from the frigid temperatures, after all.

"Ok, but it's freezing here!" You exclaim proudly, thinking that you've found a weakness. "You gotta admit that shoes would help here, right?"

Fluttershy gives a small smirk, knowing that she's won the debate. "You'd think so, but I actually like how it feels. It's very refreshing!"

'... Well damn, I guess she doesn't need shoes to go shopping!'

After checking out, the two of you head towards the parking lot. Before you head to your car, you decide to pry just a teeny bit more.

"Sorry I asked you so many questions, Fluttershy. I'm just... Uh..."

"Curious?" Fluttershy asks with another cute smirk. "That's okay, Anon. I mean, we did talk about me going barefoot last time we hung out. And I'm sure you still have a lot of questions."

You start to sweat and become a bit flustered. "Y-Yeah, I guess I do..."

As you and Fluttershy approach your car, your barefooted crush remembers her previous proposal.

"Hey, I know! Why don't we go to the park tomorrow after class? Then I can answer all your questions."

Tomorrow?! That was quicker than you thought. Then again, the sooner you know why she goes barefoot, the sooner you can put this all behind you... Hopefully.

"Y-yeah! Sure!"

Fluttershy smiles with the tiniest blush on her cute little cheeks. "Ok, then it's a date! See you tomorrow, Anon!"

You watch Fluttershy as she walks toward her own car. Her soles are even more black and dirty than they were earlier. You hate to admit it, but something about her feet being so filthy arouses you. Before you fall under another horny spell however, you wake back up to the reality at what she just said.

'Hold on, a DATE?!'

Does that mean she likes you? Or was she just joking? It's hard for you to tell, really. All you know is you really need to sleep well tomorrow. Whatever you find out on this "date" may change your perception on Fluttershy forever. You try to get plenty of rest, but...

"Join me, Anon..."

... Yeah. It's gonna be a long night.
