Sunstroke

The salt block was rowdy as usual
Gold sat at the bar, a can of soda in hoof
Almost every other stallion in the pub was jeering at him because He wasn't drinking cider.
This was the southern desert, alright.
But He had messed up big time.
Not only had He failed to retrieve the information on some big "threat to equestria", He had also fallen in love with one of the farmponies out here.
The only information that He had uncovered out here was that He was a coltcuddler
Gold dodged another bottle being lobbed his way, and it shattered on the wall behind him.
Having had enough, He left his seat and began to leave
Right outside was that same, similarly golden stallion and the sheriff, preparing to head inside and calm down the rowdy pub

Gold swallowed
His heart was sent fluttering every time He saw that hat and vest
He finally understood what mares felt like
With a quick movement, He took flight and hid behind the counter, signalling the shocked barkeep to be quiet
Gunshot sounds bounced around the room as the sheriff fired two bullets upwards, contributing to the large circle of bullets embedded in the ceiling

"That probably isn't safe..."

Gold mutters, as the sheriff and Braeburn escort each stallion from the pub
The barkeep hides Gold well
Looking around, satisfied, the sheriff leaves the pub, signalling Braeburn to follow
Braeburn looks at the barkeep suspiciously before trotting out as well
Gold thanks the barkeep, leaving a pouch of bits on the counter before leaving the bar.
He sees Braeburn take a turn off of a main road
On a dime, He decides to take to the rooftops and follow him...

Gold flew from rooftop to rooftop, following the leatherclad stallion through appleloosa's small township

Braeburn stopped and waited
If He could just time this right...
Clouds moved, revealing the moon
He whirled around to see Gold, watching him from a rooftop, illuminated by the moon

"Ah-hah! So ah do have a shadow!"

"Damnit!"

Gold cursed loudly
He hadn't thought about moonlight possibly giving him away
The desert heat was definately getting to him
Strangely enough, the stallion wasn't angry.
In fact, He had the biggest grin on his face.

"Well to what do ah owe this pleasure?"

He didn't seem phased by golds stalking at all

"I..Uhh...uhhh... Uhh..."

"Aw shucks, yeh don't need to be so tongue-tied!"

Gold couldn't help but find himself hanging onto every word
Silently, He descended from the rooftop, meeting eye to eye with this strangely friendly Stallion.

"Ah'm Braeburn! You got a name?"

Braeburn. The name sounded perfect
Gold mentally kicked himself.

"I... uhh. I'm Gold..."

The stallion leapt forward, much to golds surprise, grabbing his hoof and shaking vigorously

"Well Howdy there partner! What brings you around these parts?"

Gold immediately snapped back to his senses

"Oh. Just catching some rays, indulging in the local culture, no big deal."

Braeburn raised an eyebrow in an almost seductive way

"Now ah dun mean to be intrusive, but ah think we both know that ain't the truth."

Damn, He was good.

"Why dun' you stay with me t'night. Mah house is nearby and yeh dun wanna be out late in these parts. Some nasty folk scurryin' about."

Too taken aback to do anything about it, Gold allowed himself to be ushered away by Braeburn.

The two Stallions eventually reached Braeburn's residence
Braeburn sat Gold down, before heading into the kitchen to "Fix up some vittles"
Gold looked around

Braeburn returned with two mugs of hot cocoa and a plate of cookies
Gold couldn't quite determine whether or not Braeburn was trying to get him under his wing or under his covers.
Braeburn sat down, his thigh pushed right up against golds
The two sipped their hot cocoa in silence, until Braeburn broke it.

"Yeh look like an interesting fella. What're yeh really here for?"

Gold seriously considered telling him
He couldn't quite understand why Braeburn was being so quick to take him in
Beggars couldn't be choosers, but they could still be cautious.
Gold turned to look at Braeburn, and the two locked eyes.
For the longest time, they just sat there, gazing at each other.
Gold blinked, and got up.

"Thanks for the hospitality, but I've really gotta g-"

He was stopped by a hoof on his own, and turned to see Braeburn looking at him, pleadingly.

"Ah dunno what it is about you, ahm just as confused as you are. But please dun go. We can just talk. Please?"

Gold looked deep into braeburns emerald green eyes.
They were stunning, soul piercing even.
Gold remembered back to one of the many nights He and shining armour had spent at pony joes.
He remembered how his best friend had recounted how He met cadence.
He remembered how He had called it love at first sight
Gold turned to look at Braeburn again.
There was definitely something in those eyes.
He decided to take the risk, and sat back down again

"Alright Braeburn. Let's talk a little."

"A little" Turned to several hours locked in conversation
The two getting closer every minute
By 12am, the two were locked in an embrace
Each of them debated taking it further
It was Braeburn that eventually took the initiative

"Why dun yeh come up to mah room?"

Gold didn't need to be asked twice.
The two trotted up the stairs
Braeburn opened the door, and went to sit on the bed
Gold flew over, lowering himself onto the bed with carefully timed wing flaps.
Braeburn crawled over to Gold, taking him in his arms

"Y'know, ah heard that pegasi like it when yeh massage the base of their wings."

And with that, Braeburn began doing just that
It was the first time He had ever done so, but He did so perfectly, causing Gold to melt in delight
Nobody had ever done that to him before, the pleasure causing him to shudder all over
He put an arm around Braeburn, pulling himself closer
The two leaned in and kissed passionately, rubbing against each other the whole time
Their stallionhoods became very aware of the situation, and rose to attention
The two lay in an embrace, stroking each others warm members
Braeburn, master of subtlety, was the first to take it futher.

"Y'wanna try anal?"

Gold considered for a moment

"Depends. Have you done it before?"

Braeburn looked Gold in the eyes

"A'hm a virgin partner. Honest to Celestia."

Gold didn't even take the time to think.

"Let's do it, then."

Braeburn positioned himself over Gold, who lay belly-down on the bed
His member wet and ready, He slid into Gold, causing him to moan in pleasure
Slowly at first, Braeburn began to slide in and out, whilst lying atop Gold, caressing him gently
Braeburn nibbled the tip of Gold's ear, as He began to slide in and out, faster and faster
Gold's breathing became heavy, Braeburn started thrusting ever faster
Braeburn's chest began to heave, as He panted heavily, still relentlessly pumping
When He was close, He pulled out, and flipped Gold over
The two shared in another passionate kiss, Braeburn shooting his load in the midst of it
The sticky fluid spread into their coats as they rubbed together
Gold was next
He wet his boner, as Braeburn lay down, ready to receive
He slid into Braeburn, and slowly began to grind
Much slower than Braeburn had been
He wrapped his arms around Braeburn, rubbing up against his back with every gentle thrust
Gold continued going slowly, not ever wanting the moment to end
Braeburn took notice

"What's wrong, partner?"

Gold continued to thrust, but replied

"I don't want this to end"

Braeburn put his hooves on golds reassuringly, before whispering

"It won't."

With newfound vigor, Gold thrusted into Braeburn with every drop of lust in his body
Braeburn moaned in delight underneath, pushing up into Gold as they continued
Finally spent, Gold pulled out and flipped Braeburn over, Finishing on his underbelly
Gold leaned down and kissed, rubbing against Braeburn and rubbing his fluids into their coats
The two closely embraced there, until they fell asleep
