Giving her the break she honestly needed
"Ugh... Out of all the days of the week, it just had to be a thunderstorm for the rest of today!" Posey said with a hint of annoyance in her tone, holding an umbrella in one of her hooves.
"Yeah... it sucks..." You reply awkwardly as you walked with her back to her home. You knew this was nothing new to her. She was usually always moody at times. Heck, it wasn't even the first time you've experienced Posey's rude behavior.
You've seen her usually upset at others, usually being Sunny Starscout and her five friends. But that was mostly due to their usual shenanigans around Maretime Bay. While you were friends with them, even you had to question some of their weird antics a lot. As a matter of fact, this whole town alone seemed kinda crazy when you first arrived in Equestria months ago.
You've even seen Posey usually getting the short end of the stick from time to time. From either her garden getting destroyed or recently having her own cutie mark being stolen by somepony. It made you wonder if the reason she's usually rude is because of all these constant shenanigans.
You and Posey walked through the wet streets of Maretime Bay, her expression not changing. Thunder would sometimes roar in the distance. Many ponies also had the same idea as they were also entering their homes to remain dry.
You and Posey soon enough got to her house near the outskirts of Maretime Bay. You and she walked up the small stairs that led up to her door as she closed her umbrella and unlocked her door.
"Alright, let's just get inside..." Posey said as she entered her home with you behind her. You were impressed by her abode as you and her put your belongings on a nearby table and removed your shoes.
You two remained quiet for a while. Only the sound of the faint rain outside hitting the ground and her roof and the occasional thunder was all that was breaking the silence. You felt a little awkward not saying anything. But you didn't know what to say at the moment.
"Um... thanks for letting me stay here..." You spoke up to break the silence.
"Yeah, whatever..." Posey replied with a hint of annoyance in her tone. But it didn't sound like she was at you, but at something else. What it was she was frustrated with was a mystery to you.
"Posey?" You spoke up, "Are you okay? You've been like this all day..."
"I'm fine..." Posey replied,
"Really? Because you don't sound like you-"
"I said I'm fine! Okay?!" She angrily yelled at you. Making you flinch back. Posey saw your shocked expression and sighed.
"I'm sorry for that...." Posey replied, "It's just been a rough week for me as usual..."
"That bad, eh...?" You spoke.
"Yeah... I honestly think it's karma for being a complete flankhole back when magic returned." Posey said as she walked to her couch and sat on it. "Even though I made up with Sunny and her friends... I still endure all this constant insanity..."
You felt pity for the yellow earth pony as you sat right next to her. You remembered when she told you about the time, she hated the return of magic so much because earth ponies did not have magic at the time. It escalated so bad to the point the end of the world almost occurred because of it.
You were happy to know she apologized for her behavior. But it saddened you to know that she still suffers from constant bad luck. It made you want to do something soothe her attitude. But you didn't know what to do.
An idea then popped into your head as you then lifted your hand up to Posey's back and started scratching it. She jumped a bit, feeling your fingers against her body.
"Ahh!! Wh-" Posey stuttered, "What are you-"
Posey cut herself off mid-sentence. She felt goosebumps forming across her entire body. But this oddly to her, felt very... relaxing, for lack of a better term. Feeling those soft fingers of yours scratching her back felt very nice to her. As you continued scratching her back, Posey's thoughts were racing. She didn't know why, but she felt at peace now. But she didn't want this to end yet.
"Ohh...my...." Posey tried to speak but sighed with content. "D-Don't stop that yet..."
You obliged her as you continued rubbing, caressing, and scratching her back. Feeling her soft fur.
"Thanks..." Posey said with a small smile on her face, "I... really needed that..."
"Hey, don’t mention it." You replied. "It was the least I cou-"
You were suddenly interrupted as Posey suddenly pulled you forward as your head fell right onto her chest as she also laid down. You were blushing bright red as you looked up at Posey who just smirked back down at you.
"What? You think I wouldn't return the favor?" She said as she wrapped her front hooves around your shoulder blades and shifted a bit into a comfortable position. This was a side of Posey you never saw before. Even when she was nice to you and others.
But to be blunt, you couldn't complain about this affectionate side of her. You nestled into Posey's soft, fluffy, yellow fur, getting a good whiff at her glorious scent. You didn't know what it was, but it smelled so nice. Posey caught sight of you doing so and giggled.
"Looks like somepon...err.... someone likes the lavender body wash I use." She spoke.
"Mmhmm... Well... you have good taste; I'll tell you that..." You replied as you continued inhaling the lavender scent.
Posey continued holding you closer to her. To her, she never once thought in her life she would ever be cuddling an alien like you in her life. But since you were helping her unwind from all the pressure of today. She felt like she wanted to make an exception to you. But she knew how to make this more enjoyable for both you and her.
Posey then reached up to her mane and untied the green bow in her mane as it fell freely down to her chest and nearly covering your head. She almost seemed unrecognizable to you. But her pink mane was so soft that you wanted to pet her. You lifted your hand up to her mane as Posey smiled in anticipation for what was about to happen.
You gently pet her mane. You spread your fingers into it as Posey felt the chills from before return. She felt so vulnerable and safe with you. You continued fondling and preening it as you used your fingers as a brush. Making her sigh in pleasure. You knew she would just fix her mane up afterwards, but for now, you and her just had to enjoy the moment.
"This feels so amazing..." She purred. Posey then did something you didn't see coming. You felt her give you a small kiss on the top of the head. Making you shoot your head up fast as you looked at her in astonishment.
"P... Posey!" You said, your eyes widened. "D-Did you just...?"
Posey's thoughts then came back as her expression turned to worry as she realized what she just did. "Uhm... I... you...well..." Posey stuttered before groaning in embarrassment as she removed her front hooves off your back and covered her face. "I shouldn't have done that!"
"Hey, hey!" You gently moved her front hooves out of her face as you and her made eye contact. "It's okay, Posey. I thought that was nice. Sure, it was kinda out of nowhere, but it was very nice..."
Posey's embarrassment slowly vanished as she sighed in relief before putting her front hooves back on your shoulder blades. You in turn, laid your head back down on her chest.
"Hey umm... I want to know..." Posey spoke up, "Do you think we can do this more often?"
You smiled up at her and replied, "Well... I can't find a reason not to..."
Posey sighed happily as he hugged you tightly. "Thank you... I really could use this..."
You were happy for Posey. Because now you would always get to cuddle with her now whenever she would have a rough day. You nestled close to the yellow earth pony as you felt your eyelids get heavy. Before you knew it, you and she were both drifting off into slumber.
For once in a long while... Posey caught a break.
Author's Note
Guess I'm the first one to make a Human x Posey fic, eh?
I'm not gonna beat around the bush. I hate how Posey is mostly a one-note rude punching bag in TYT a majority of the time.
I feel like it'd be better for her to be fleshed out more and see her nicer side like the podcast or post-chapter 1 Make Your Mark (Sometimes).
Oh yeah, this story is based off a dream I had a little while ago.
