A Parasitic Relationship

Chapter 5: Too Small

I got up like every work day but today felt different for me so I looked at the calendar to find it was Saturday. I smiled in glee knowing that I had no work today and I got to spend time with my favorite mare. I walked back to the bed and lay beside Chrissy. She wrapped her hooves around me and nuzzled against my back, her smooth textured skin feeling heavenly on my back as shivers of bliss ran through me. I was actually glad she didn’t wake up until later. It gave me time to think about what we should do. Well shopping was an obviously necessary but what do I do after that? My mind thought of ideas but they were things we did before. Maybe I could just walk her around the city. Playing video games and going to the zoo are good ideas as well.

I felt Chrysalis shift around my body either looking for a part of me that I privately use or to get more comfortable. I slowly slid out of the bed, making sure not to wake her. Once out of the comforts of my bed I got dressed with some casual clothing and headed in the kitchen. I walked up to the cabinet left of the fridge and took out a box of Corn Pops. I poured them in a bowl and added the milk. The small golden globes discoloured and floated softly on the milk. I dipped in my spoon and took a bite, the taste quickly reaching my mouth. I heard the soft clop of Chrysalis’ hooves as she approached the counter. “Hey can you make me some toast? I want peanut butter on it please.” I nodded and put the bread in the toaster. In a minute the toast popped up and I placed it on the counter. I grabbed the peanut butter and fished some out with a butter knife. I swiped out it on the two slices of toast and handed it to Chrysalis on a small plate. “Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.” I sat down where I placed my corn pops and began to eat. “So after this are you going shopping with me?” She chewed for a few seconds and swallowed the bit of toast still in her mouth.

“Well of course who else is going to go with you and plus I might be able to snag us some bargains.” I smiled knowing that she was on board. Soon after she transformed into her usual form we went out and headed into the Supermarket. “Okay so what do we need?”

“We need Eggs, Bacon, Cheese, Bread, Butter, Bologna, Corn Pops just in case, Milk, Ice Cream, and a Cake.” Her face lit up at the mention of bacon and ice cream. We walked down the dairy aisle and pick up the cheese, eggs, and milk. We headed into the meat section and picked up some bacon and bologna. We continued this cycle of going to the predestinated aisle where everything was placed out and luckily we ran into no problems. I headed to the checkout and we bought our items. We walked out of the store and back home. We put everything into the fridge and the things that weren’t supposed to be refrigerated we put in the shelf beside the stove. She transformed back to her normal form and we walked into the bedroom.

We sat down on the bed and she pushed into me, I looked at her. “So what do you want to do now?” I looked at the PS3 and back at her. “Sure I would love to play games again it’s always fun to do that. “ I turned on the PS3 and the TV. Soon we were playing Borderlands 2 and she was enjoying herself again. It always fascinated me how a simple thing as this could rile her up. I turned back to the screen and continued to kill creatures with her it fun for a while but soon we got bored. I shut the game off much to the protest of Chrysalis.

“Hey do you want to go to the zoo?”

“What’s a zoo?” I facepalmed and looked at her.

“I thought you took information from me every time you came into contact with me?”

“Only important information not every memory available. Remember what I told you?”

“Yes I remember I just thought a place that had a collection of creature you have no information about would be deemed important.” She smiled.

“I want to go it seems like a fun place to visit.” I waited a few more minutes to make sure Chrissy was ready and soon enough we were out the door and on a bus heading towards the Zoo. Chrysalis laid her head on me and slept part way there. I saw a man enter the bus, he wore a black sweater, sunglasses, and blue jeans. He sat behind us and just his presence made me feel on edge. I felt something against my back.

“Now listen I don’t want any trouble so if you just do as I say, you will be fine and nothing will happen to your girl.” Anger welled up inside as soon as he mentioned her.

“If you lay a hand on her I will fucking kill you. So piss off or else.” The man laughed behind me.

“Or what? You’re going to grow stronger or bullet resistant. No you are going to do what I say. Now wake her up and we are going to the bank to get some cash.” I shook Chrysalis to wake her. Her eyes slowly opened and she looked at me smiling.

“Listen we are going to get out of the bus and get some money but as soon as we’re out I want you to run away as fast as you can.” I whispered this into her ear to make sure he didn’t notice. “Now let’s go get some money.” She smiled and nodded playing her part to perfection. We got up and so did the man behind us. I felt the gun against my back as we etched towards the door as the bus came to a stop. Once out we walked for a while and I nodded at Chrissy. She understood my signal and broke out in a full sprint. The gunman pulled the gun away from me and pointed it at her. I stepped in the way and heard the shot go off. My body went numb as I looked at the man, tears swelled into my eyes as the pain started to set in. I fell on my knees as it was too hard to stand.

“Fucking stupid kid you went and got yourself shot. We’ll see each other in hell now.” He ran off in the opposite direction as Chrissy as I watched him go, my motion blurring as I slowly started to lose consciousness. Something pulled me from behind and I saw Chrysalis looking down at me tears streaming down her face. I laid myself down and grasped her hand. As I knew this might be the last time I saw her I kissed her on the lips.

“I will always love you Chrysalis. Please never forget that.” The world started getting dark as I watched Chrysalis scream in sorrow, her cries for help slowly passed away as the world went black.

Chrysalis’ POV:

I held his hand as I felt him relax the screaming for him over as I knew that he had limited time. I saw people surrounding us as two men in uniform came with this device and lifted him on it. They signalled me to come in the vehicle as I sat beside him, my hand tightly gripping his. They took off his shirt revealing a small hole with blood oozing out of the wound.

“Okay I need a scalpel, the stitching kit, and make sure if he loses a pulse to have an adrenaline shot and the defibrillators ready. I watch in marvel as they skillfully removed the bullet and put pressure on the wound. We sat like this for 30 minutes the rise and fall of Tyler’s chest making it difficult for the nurse to keep pressure on his wound. We stopped at the emergency entrance of the hospital and they quickly wheeled him in. I knew that my transformation was about to fail at any minute but I couldn’t stand to leave his side they stopped in the ER office and some of them were fill out forms.

“I need to tell you all that whatever happens right now don’t scream and be scared it’s just what I look like. I need to change back now okay.” They turned their attention on me as I felt a tingling sensation run through my body. My bones slowly reformed into their original shapes and I felt my wings again. To my surprise much of the nurses were in awe. “Don’t worry about me just get him fixed up!” I yelled at them and it seemed to wake most of them from their dazed state. They quickly finished the forms and rushed him into the surgery room. I sat down beside a man with a broken arm as he looked at me as if he was hallucinating. “Don’t you dare say a word or I will knock you out!” He quickly looked away as I sat there on the chair.

I sat there for several hours worried sick about Tyler. A nurse came out and looked down at me. “First of all he made it through surgery and is stable.” I sighed in relief as my body came at ease. “Secondly I want you to fill out this form on your past life and what your species are. Think about it, you’re a new species on earth, obviously not of this planet’s origin, and that makes you an alien life form.” I raised my eyebrow wanting to play a little trick on them so they wouldn’t bug me or him.

“I’ll do that but only if you follow these rules.” She nodded and seemed very eager to talk to me. “This information will be kept from the public so that I and Tyler will not be disturbed. You will not cause me or Tyler any harm and you can only visit us at his apartment we will not be separated.” She handed the paper to me.

“I promise to follow your rules so that nothing will be broken.” I signed everything down and put as much information as I could fit on the paper or what I deemed necessary to reveal to them. I handed the paper back to her and she beamed at me.
“Thanks!” I held her there and she turned to look at me in surprise.

“Show me where Tyler is.” She nodded and walked at a quickened pace into a room labelled 24. “Leave us.” She politely left and I sat beside the bed my head nuzzling his hand. “Please wake up soon my dear I don’t want to be without you for much longer. I am so scared.” Tears started to stream down my face. “I thought I lost you like I lost my very children.” In my mind pictures flashed of my army, the children I raised in my hive which sacrificed their very lives for their mother. “I wish I died instead of all of you.” My breathing became ragged as I was finally given time to actually mourn for my children. I broke down, the emotions too much for me as I sobbed. I stood up and nuzzled Tyler’s cheek as I laid my head on the bed. “I love you so much.” I kissed him on the lips his soft breath colliding with my heavy short one. I trotted to the nearby seat and laid down. I waited contently for my love to awaken from his slumber, the nurse from before came in and covered me with a blanket. I smiled at her, tears still streaming down my face. I slowly started to get drowsy as the world faded away.

Tyler’s POV:

I woke up with an instant feeling of regret. My head throbbed as my stomach hurt like a son of a bitch. “Fuck this hurts.” I lifted myself up slowly the pain in my body bare able only if I knew Chrysalis was okay. My vision turned to the horn sticking out of a blanket on the chair near my bed. Knowing now that she was fine I laid back down and smiled, knowing that I didn’t have to worry about my little Changling being hurt. I remembered my current condition as I felt around my body. Everything except the stitches on my stomach was fine so I relaxed and waited there for Chrissy to awaken. It was a few minutes but soon the nurse came in and gasped at me. I put my finger drowsy up to my lips and pointed to Chrysalis making sure that
the nurse didn’t wake her. The nurse understood and slowly walked over to me.

“So how are you doing Mr. Tyler?”

“Fine just a little sore, but that’s to be expected.” She walked out of the room and came back a few minutes later with a paper cup and a pitcher of water.

“Here is a painkiller and steroid to make sure you can deal with the pain and so your immune system will be strong just in case something gets infected.” I grabbed the pills put them in my throat and drank the water greedily as I satisfied a thirst I never knew I had. “Good, now you might feel a bit drowsy but that is the side effect normally caused by the painkillers.” I nodded and she placed the pitcher of water beside me as I poured myself another cup, swallowing it in one chug.

“Thank you.” She walked out and closed the door. I looked over to Chrysalis and slowly got up pulling the IV out of my arm so that I didn’t injure myself further. I walked over to Chrysalis and laid in front of the chair. Tired of waiting I softly shook Chrysalis awake, her eyes cracked open and as soon as I came into her vision she sprung on me covering my face with kisses.

“Thank god your okay, I missed you so much!” I kissed her on the lips and held her there. Her mouth opened up and allowed me to push my tongue in, our tongue intertwined with each other. Our lips stayed locked in a passionate battle as I felt up her body, I rubbed her wings which made her moan deeply in the kiss as I continued to massage her body making sure she enjoyed this to the fullest extent. I felt her slid her hoof across my chest as she made me lay down. I obeyed her orders with fever as I hugged her close to my body. I let my mouth escape hers as she softly bit at my bottom lip making me slightly aroused but cautious at the same time. “I love you Tyler.”

“I love you as well Chrissy.” I hugged her tighter and let her go as she looked at me, passion filling her eyes. “I know this might sound bad but I have to go back in the bed for the nurse’s sake.” She looked down to see a tent pole on the hospital gown. She giggled and smiled at me.

“Maybe I can take care of that for you.” I smiled sheepishly at her not wanting to make this anymore awkward.

“I’m going to have to pass on that after all I want our relation to be strong and not weaken by sex.” She looked at me shocked.

“Why do you hold back so much a little sex won’t hurt anyone will it?” I winced at her statement and she frowned. “You got hurt by a girl didn’t you?”

“Well it was a long time ago but I still remember it firmly. I asked the girl out and we were steady for about a month. She asked if I wanted to take our relationship further and when we were about to have sex she looked down at my cock and laughed. She said it was small and I got dumped that day. I have to say it was the most humiliating experience of my entire life.” I hung my head in shame.

“Your cock is a little big for me most of my mates were small for me.” I blushed at the compliment and chuckled a bit.

“Well I thank you for the compliment but I don’t think this is the appropriate place for this kind of behavior.” She pouted and threw me a cute look. “Still no.”

“Fine get back on the bed but I get to lay on you so that I can get more sleep.” I ruffled up her mane and walked back to the bed. I motioned her and she jumped on the bed. She laid on top of me comfortably and her warm body made me feel great, although the stitches might not be liking this so much. My stitches reminded me of my bogy condition as my stomach began to burn.

“I know I said I would allow this but my injury won’t allow it” She frowned at me and curled up at my feet.

“Don’t you dare make any dog jokes.” It’s as if she read my because dogs were of what her position reminded me of. I slid my hand down her back as she shivered slightly. “I miss this.” I sat up and kissed her on the horn.

“Me as well.” She sighed contently and I laid back down making sure not to strain myself. “I can’t wait to go home. We can just continue off from where we were before and live happily again.” She smiled at me and I heard a knock on the door.
“Who is it?”

“It’s the press we heard about you and want to do a story on your heroics.” Chrysalis got off and transformed into her outside form.

“You may come in.” I saw her come in with a camera and her crew.

“Oh and I see the lovely lady you saved is here as well.” She smiled a fake smile at me and I chuckled. Chrysalis walked up to the reporter and smiled.

“Hi I’m Chrissy and actually Tyler is my boyfriend so what do you want?” Chrissy’s face changed and I became scared of her but it was strange. I didn’t know where my fear was coming from but it was an absolutely terrifying experience. I saw the reporter sweating as she looked at Chrissy.

“I came here to do a story on Tyler so that I could get at least one interesting story in my dismal career.” She nodded and smiled at me as the fear subsided.

“Okay so what do you want to know about me?” She brought the camera closer to me and looked at the camera man.

“Record now,” the light for the camera flashed on. “Hi my name is Liz Sanders for Channel 5 news here to talk to a local hero. Now sir what is your name?” The microphone was pointed above me.

“My name is Tyler.”

“Okay Tyler so if I got my information correctly you save your girlfriend from a robber. Is that correct?”

“Well I guess you could say that.”

“Oh what do you mean by that?”

“Well he was holding me hostage on the bus for a while and he threatened to hurt Chrissy so I thought of a way to get her out of the situation. I told her once she got outside to bolt and I stood in front for the gun to absorb the bullet and prevent harm from reaching. Honestly if anything happened to her I could never forgive myself.”

“Well what you did was actually quite heroic risking your life to save anothers, so I would be pround of yourself.”

“It wasn’t that big of a deal honest, I’m not a very important guy and no one would miss me except for Chrissy.”

“What do you mean?”

“What I mean is that I wasn’t really cared for in my life my parents loved me but they died soon after I went to college. I have no living family members and no friends so Chrissy is the only one who has every truly cared about me as a whole and I love her for that.”

“What a sad tale. Well that’s the news on the local hero Chevy back to you.” The camera light went off and the girl smiled at me and shook my hand. “Thanks you made my day for sure and I’m sorry for what happened to you, I hope you get better.” I nodded and once more the door shut. Chrysalis turned back to her regular form and lay back down at my feet.

“Can we go to sleep now?”

“Sure I would like that.” She closed her eyes and soon we were both asleep.

I felt something prodding me and I looked to see it was a nurse. “Oh I’m sorry I was just checking to see how your stitches were doing. You’ll be happy to know that you will be allow to leave in three days but will need bed rest for five days after that. I should also inform you that Chrissy has called both your landlord and employers telling them the condition you’re in. You have promised pay so you don’t have to worry about that. You’re a very lucky man Tyler to have a woman like that and being able to survive a shot in the stomach. Not many men can say they survived that.” I chuckled and she put fresh bandages on. She walked out and I kissed Chrysalis on the forehead, a smile appearing soon after.
It was a few days later and soon we were on our way home, me in a wheelchair so I don’t strain myself and Chrissy pushed me. “So how are you feeling?”

“A bit sore but other than that I’m feeling great.” She kissed the top of my head and I looked up at her.

“That’s good because when we get home you’re cooking” I laughed and we load ourselves in a handicap bus. In thirty minutes we were at the bus stop near our apartment. We got off and went home, she helped me up the stairs and soon we made it to my apartment. I unlocked both my doors and we rushed to the bed room. I fell on the air mattress and everything was perfect. I soon found myself reaching for the controller as I turned on my PS3. My TV turned on soon after and I decided to go on Crackle today. I switched it to XXXholics and watch it for a few minutes before I began to wonder were Chrissy was.

“Hey Chrysalis what are you doing?”

“I’m making supper for the both of us and if that cook had his brain in check I can successfully make spaghetti and meat balls.”

“Okay just be careful.” I relaxed snuggling into my bed as I turned the anime back on. After about an hour or two of watching that I turned off Crackle and waited as the delicious aroma of spaghetti sauce filled my nostrils. “That smells great Chrissy.”

“Thanks I should be done in a few minutes hope you like it.” I turned on Dead Island and started to play when Chrissy came in the bed room with a tray filled with spaghetti and a few other treats. “There you go dig in.” I grabbed the fork and cut up the meat balls. I stirred them in and told a bite. The flavour had the perfect spiciness and sweetness and the noodles were done to perfection.

“It’s perfect Chrissy.” She smiled at me and I continued to dig in as I handed Chrysalis the controller. She switched to her name and started up Dead Island again. She started playing it and instantly fell in love with it. The leveling up system much like Borderlands 2, she easily played the game once she found out the controls. I watched her for a while and took the pills I was prescribed. I got drowsy and Chrysalis sat on the air mattress beside me. Besides getting shot, this was an awesome we. I laid there my eyelids closing as I slowly drifted to sleep.
