A Friend In Need

For One Moment...

***

The storm had ended and Ziti sat tending to Catcher, looking sullenly towards the window with his ears lowered. The Unicorn tended to the bruises on his body, the pain somewhat lingering.

The Pegasus slowly pulled himself away from her, standing up as he limped to the exit.

“I already told ya, Braeburn is looking for those bandits. You need to stay here and finish recuperating, unless ya enjoy the pain you're in.”

You know nothing of what I feel. The stallion stopped, turning his attention back towards here. “I just want to take a quick stroll, need to contemplate my thoughts.” the stallion slowly started moving again.

“Look, ya stubborn fool, if you go out there you're only going to hurt yourself more.” Ziti rushing to the door, blocking the bold Pegasus.

Can’t I do anything without the pity or concern of others?! Catcher gently pushed her aside, turning back to look at her.

“I need to take a walk, I promise that I’m not going to get into any trouble.” said Catcher, his voice wavering with grief.

The mare opened her mouth to speak but quickly changed her mind as she closed her eyes, her ears lowered as she prepared to respond. “Please, just take care of yourself.”

Thank you. A tear running down the Pegasus's cheek as he limped away from the compound, heading towards a small mountain formation near the outskirts of town. The sky started to fill with stars while twilight faded and darkness took over.

***

Catcher limped up to the plateau of the hillside, looking over the town and orchard as the moon’s light reflected off of his tear-glazed eyes.

Maybe... I should try once more, it’s not like anypony’s going to truly miss me. The stallion looked to the edge, the ground a good drop from the rocky mountainside.

The wind picked up, his dark mane flowed wildly over his eyes as he took a few steps forwards.

“Just let go, everything will be alright soon.” Catcher limped a few more steps, starting to shake as he approached the edge

No more... pain. No more... emptiness. No more... cold feeling. The Pegasus closing his eyes once more as he scooted a little closer.

“CATCHER!” shouted Braeburn, causing the stallion to immediately turn around.

“What the hell are you doing?!” questioned the concerned stallion, halting a few feet from Catcher. The two looked to each other, the Pegasus trying to speak -no words- only small faint cries leaked from his mouth.

Braeburn continued to stare at the stallion as he panted, the Pegasus slowly limping towards his worried friend.

“Bullet and the others that attacked you are in lockup, found ‘em at a small settlement not far from here. Took me half a day, but I did it, just for you... even managed to retrieve this for ya.”

The Earth stallion pulled the locket from the satchel on his back, causing Catcher to limp as quickly as he could to the stallion.

“I... I don’t know wha--.” the Pegasus started to say as he was interrupted by Braeburn.

“Why is this locket so important to you? I’ve watched you treat that thing like it were a gift from the heavens!” exclaimed Braeburn, tears in his eyes as he awaited an answer.

“It... it was my grandfather’s, he used to wear it all the time. You could say that it’s a little keepsake, something that I hold to remember him.” Catcher explained, tears starting to flow down his cheeks.

There was a brief silence between the two before Braeburn took a deep breath, looking to the Pegasus with a sympathetic look.

The blonde stallion took a few steps closer. “I take it he was important to you?”

“It’s funny you know, I wake up every night from nightmares... screaming. The moment I realize this locket’s with me I start to feel safe and comfortable.” Catcher said softly, using his hooves to wipe the tears from his eyes.

Braeburn sat down upon his haunches as he listened to his friend, setting his hat upon the ground as he looked deeply into the Pegasus’ brown eyes.

“I used to have the same thing happen when I was really young, would drive my parents crazy. My grandfather however... would strap me to his back and fly me around at night, talking to me as I would watch the stars. He would tell me everything would be ok and that he would always be there to help me.” Catcher sniffed as he turned to the night sky, tears falling from his muzzle to the red stone below him.

The Earth stallion shed a tear, rolling from his eye down his muzzle. “He sounds like he was a great pony.”

“He was definitely a father figure to me, but that all changed one day when he grew terribly ill. My parents told me that he might have to go away soon and that I should spend as much time as I could with him. So every day for six months... I sat by his side, watching the stallion I considered my hero slowly turn into a husk of his former self.” Catcher explained closing his eyes as he brought his head closer to his chest.

Braeburn tilted his head, wiping the tears from his as he lowered his ears.

“Then one day... after school, I walked to his room. He placed his hoof on my head and stroked my mane, told me that everything was going to be alright soon and that he was proud of me. I leaned to give him a hug, closing his eyes he smiled and when I asked him when exactly that would be... he didn’t respond.” Catcher said closing his eyes as he shook his head, the Blonde stallion scooting closer to the mourning Pegasus.

“Catcher... I know you miss him but that’s no reason to throw yourself from a cliff.” Braeburn explained, placing his hoof on the stallions shoulder.

“Brae, I’m not doing it for him... I didn’t do it for him the first time, either. I did it for the stallion who ripped my heart out many years ago. Somepony who I dedicated all my love and trust to, until he shattered it...” Catcher slowly spread his wings, turning to both his sides he glanced to Braeburn.

A moment of silence fell on them once again as Braeburn turned his tear glazed eyes towards the damaged limbs.

Catcher retracted his wings back to their idle state, looking up the sky once more as he flicked his ears. The breeze picked up once more, their manes flowing to their sides.

        “I was on weather duty by myself for the first time in ages, it was late and I had felt so cold... so alone. The pain of that emptiness was just too much, more than anything I had ever felt. So I looked to the forests below, took a quick flight up into the night sky as I watched the stars, retracted my wings, and closed my eyes.” Catcher explained, closing his eyes as he relived the moment.

“As I fell, I could feel the cold winds rushing around me, with a smile upon my face I curled up and tried to let nature do its thing. I chickened out, though, and tried to go back when I came close to the ground, crashing into a few trees as I fell. It was then that a warm feeling flowed through my body, one which replaced the cold emptiness I had building within.” Catcher opened his eyes as he turned back towards Braeburn, his head and ears lowered.

Catcher lowered his ears, “For one moment... I felt at peace, all the pain vanishing from me. I just kept hearing my grandfather telling me everything would be alright.”

The Pegasus sat quietly as Braeburn picked up his hat, placing it on his head.

“I know... I watched you fall. I was returning from my cousin’s in Ponyville and I saw you fall from the heavens. I rushed to help you but I realized that if I didn’t get proper help you would have died,” said the Earth stallion, a stutter in his voice as he approached Catcher.

No... It can’t be, there’s just no way.The Pegasus looked at the yellow stallion with a look of disbelief as memories started coming back to him, ones revealing that Braeburn was telling the truth.

“I couldn’t stay with you and by the time I was able to return they had already picked you up and carried you off. No one to ask, I thought I would never have the chance to see you again. That was until I saw you in town...” Braeburn said, tears of joy in his eyes as he leaned towards the Pegasus.

 “You’re not worthless, you’re not a burden, and you’re certainly nicer than you let on. You also don’t have to be alone any longer.” Braeburn quickly used his hooves to gently grab Catcher’s shoulders, the Pegasus sat idly.

This feeling...

No don’t do it you idiot. What if he’s not like that? Then you’ll push that final nail in the coffin and make yourself the fool that you are. Catcher looked to Braeburn with his tear glazed eyes.

I have to know, I just have to.

Catcher leaned forwards, closing his eyes as he prepared his lips. Happily his surprise Braeburn hastily locked lips with him, slowly moving their heads about as they savored the moment. Their eyes still closed as they pulled each other closer, tightening their embrace.

Slowly pulling away, they looked at one another passionately as they continued to cry tears of happiness. Braeburn chuckled slightly, “I told you I was gonna give you the best night of your life... didn’t I.”

Fireworks shot off from Appleloosa, their light glistening in Braeburn’s eyes as Catcher looked deeply into them. Ponies cheered as the light show continued, the thundering bursts muffled as the two pulled each other closer, their heads nestled against each other.

***

        The two trotted down from the small mountain, settling themselves on a grass patched area next to an oasis. Braeburn removed his satchel as he gently placed it and the locket gently to the side, turning his attention back to the Pegasus.

“I haven’t felt like this in.. well ages.” exclaimed Catcher, wiping what remained of his tears from his eyes.

Braeburn returned a smile with his eyes closed, “Well I’m about to make you feel a whole lot better.”

The yellow stallion leaned himself against the stallion as they locked lips once more, using his hoof to stroke at the Pegasus’ dark genitals. The sensation causing the stallion’s leg to twitch as his cock rose from its sheath, its veins throbbing as its peach-colored head grew to its erect size.

Using both his hooves, the Earth stallion grabbed the growing member, slowly stroking it as he smiled towards Catcher.

        Pulling away, Braeburn lowered his head as he closed  his eyes. Using his tongue he slowly made his way up the shaft, stopping at the thick ring of meat as he opened his eyes to look up at the results.

Please don't stop. The Pegasus let out a long slow moan as the Earth stallion continued his creeping advance up the shaft. Stopping once more at the head, the Earth stallion used his tongue to lap up the pre from the tip.

Catcher’s eyes moved about in a discombobulated manner, grunting as he tried to hold back his primal emotions. Braeburn closed his eyes, opening his mouth wide as he started to swallow the thick equine member. The cock stretched his throat as he slowly pushed his way forwards.

        Catcher’s ears were lowered as he bit his lip, trying to hold in his cries of pleasure while the blonde stallion engulfed more of his throbbing member inch by inch.

“Fuck me!” shouted Catcher with his eyes closed, causing Braeburn to slightly chuckle as his throat tightened around the pulsing cock.

Braeburn’s mass of black flesh had made its way out of its meaty prison, pre leaking down along his urethra. The clear substance gave off a scent that caused the Pegasus to grow intoxicated with lust, letting out a whinny as he slowly thrusted himself further into Braeburn’s throat.

The yellow stallion’s gag reflex started to squeeze Catcher’s veiny member in a rhythmic fashion, sending waves of pleasure through his body as he let out small sudden cries of euphoric bliss.

Braeburn pulled himself back, saliva pouring from his muzzle as he stopped for a brief moment. Using his hooves the Pegasus grabbed the stallion’s head gently, pushing Braeburn back down on the shaft as his ears flicked.

Continuing to pick up momentum, Braeburn started making slurping noises as the saliva started to profusely pour from his jaw.

Catcher released the Earth stallion’s head as Braeburn grabbed the Pegasus’ haunches for support, pushing himself down as far as he could, all the while struggling against his gag reflex. Holding it for a few seconds, his throat tightened once more, causing the white stallion let out a sharp cry of lust.

Braeburn placed his hoof on Catcher’s chest as he pulled himself off the equine member, a mixture of saliva and pre pouring from his mouth as he panted. Blushing, he rolled over raising his tail to give the Pegasus a clear view of his flanks.

Braeburn panted wildly as he turned his head back towards the Pegasus, blushing as he eagerly awaited.

Catcher smiled as he scooted forwards, using his hooves to grab the Earth stallion’s flanks for support; he slowly pushed the wide head of his cock against his rear, the copious amounts of saliva and pre allowing it to slowly fit. Both of them bit their lips, their eyes closed and ears lowered as they let out a groans of pain and ecstasy. A loud audible pop rang out as Catcher started to push as much of his shaft as he could into his partner’s rear, causing  Braeburn to let out wail of pleasure.

The two let out moans of relief as the pulsing shaft vanished into the blonde stallion, Catcher stopped as soon as he noticed Braeburn slamming a hoof into the grass.

"Brae?" Catcher leaned down nestling his head next to Braeburn’s as the Earth stallion panted “Keep going.” The Pegasus pulled back and then brought himself back to the hilt, the Earth stallion let out an abrupt wail. Catcher continued the motion as he brushed his head next to the Earth stallion’s. His beastly shaft covered in pre as he continued to pump himself into the stallion, Catcher's sac brushing against Braeburn's with a slapping that only increased in pace as he continued to go to town on the smaller stallion.

Letting out a cry, Catcher pulled himself off Braeburn, rolling him over with a smile on his face. The Earth stallion leaned up towards the panting Pegasus, his eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

“Let me return the favor.” insisted the Pegasus, softly pushing Braeburn’s back to the grass. Using his hooves he grasped both of their members and held them together as he thrusted forwards. The bodily fluids on his cock lubricated the Earth stallion’s as they both let out moans with every thrust, both cock's sliding together.

Ropes of pre fell from the two thick members, falling upon Braeburn, who closed his eyes as Catcher continued to rub their throbbing cocks together. Surprising the Earth stallion, Catcher moved forwards, grabbing the lubricated flesh behind him as slowly forced himself onto it.

Now that’s what I’m talking about!” shouted Braeburn as he opened his mouth to let out a moan. His tongue hung out of his mouth as he continued to squeal with every inch that vanished into Catcher’s rear.

Pain wracked the Pegasus’ lower body as he closed his eyes, stopping as he reached the hilt. Letting out a moan, he leaned forwards as he nestled his head next to Braeburn’s. Using his muzzle, he started to nape at various places around the aroused stallion’s neck and ears.

“Don’t ever leave me... please.” cried Catcher as he panted, Braeburn starting to thrust into the white stallion’s rear.

“I promise...-” Braeburn bit his lip as he pulled back out, starting to thrust continuously as he picked up speed. Catcher closed his eyes as he let out a sharp wails with every thrust.

Braeburn looked to him with smile as he continued to abuse the Pegasus’s rear, using his hooves to slowly stroke his wings.

Catcher’s ears raised as he closed his eyes, his wings slowly spreading. Blood coursing through the feathery appendages as Braeburn continued to stroke them, each gentle brush causing the white stallion to shiver out of joy.

The Pegasus’ member began to flare between the two, smearing pre on them as they reached their climax.

Spreading his wings to their full capacity, Catcher threw his head back to let out a loud scream of euphoria, torrents of cum shot from his cock. Covering Braeburn with his seed as he continued to let out euphoric wails.

Braeburn’s muzzle was covered with the white sticky fluid, the Earth stallion letting out a long-paced moan as he thrusted deep one last time, releasing his load into the Pegasus with a winny.

Braeburn blasted Catcher’s insides, the pressure sending wave after wave of pleasure throughout his body as moans bursted wildly from his mouth.

“UGH, YES... UGH!” moaned Catcher excitedly as cum slowly poured from his rear, running down the Earth stallion’s pulsing shaft.

The two took a brief moment to look at each other as they panted wildly, their cocks slowly vanishing back into their sheaths. Catcher rolled to the side as he retracted his wings, the two looking at one another with looks of bliss, basking in the afterglow.

“Thank you... for everything.” Catcher said, still panting he closed his eyes as he locking lips once more with Braeburn.

Pulling away, the Earth stallion took a moment to chuckle as he smiled. “Nice lips.”

Catcher let out a chuckle as licked the cum from the edges of his mouth. The two looked at each other with smiles as they pulled each other close..

The Pegasus woke up, the morning breeze blowing through his mane as he stared at the sky. He closed his eyes as he took in the warmth of the sun, a new aura of happiness about him. The pain that had coursed through his body for over almost a year had faded to but a small tingle as a warm feeling started to replace the cold emptiness that he had once felt.

Catcher’s eyes glistened with the sunlight as he took in a deep breath. He finally felt content that he had gained the one thing he had never dreamt would happen again, to have the love and company of another.

The Pegasus gazed over at Braeburn, who was laying beside him on a grass patch in the middle of the red expanse. He smiled, as he decided it was time.

"Brae, my name... is Forte." He closed his eyes, snuggling into Braeburn's side.

Braeburn gave a snuggle of affection back, smiling as he stroked the Pegasus’ mane. "Glad to have ya in my life, Forte."
