Too Shy for Love

Chapter 3

Fluttershy opened the door to her rural homely cottage, putting Angel in his small bed as she rushes into the kitchen, Electro following her and sitting on her couch. He holds a hoof to his ear, pinching off any blood from falling onto the comfy yellow couch “Stupid rabbit” he growled, glaring at the ragged bunny cleaning himself and resting. “Hang on I’ve got some bandages!” Fluttershy called from the kitchen walking in and wrapping Electro’s injured ear with the soft linen, stopping the bleeding. “I’m so sorry about Angel, he usually never hurts ponies...” She said, her own words sounding uncertain in her mouth, making her slowly drift into silence, sitting on the couch beside him.

They sit in peaceful silence for a few minutes, Fluttershy eventually putting her head to rest on his shoulder, her hoof intertwining with his as she feels her face growing warm once again, in the presence of the stallion who she recently discovered loves her. He acknowledges her by placing his head on her soft pastel pink mane, nuzzling into it’s velvety softness and letting out a happy sigh, the two ponies sharing each others warmth and care, giving them each a sense of security and safety. “E-Electro...” She said quietly, breaking the comfortable silence around them, “Yes Flutters?” He replied, his voice gently and carrying through the air with a soft echo.

“I-I love you...” “I love you too Flutters...” He said this with a kiss to her cheek, making her muzzle burn bright with blush and causing her to hide in her mane, his front leg around her, holding her close to his warm muscular chest, his rhythmic heartbeat and rising and falling of his breathing acting as a sweet lullaby and rocking her to sleep, her soft snores filling the air around them. “I love you Flutters...” He repeated, to the sleeping form in his hooves “And I’ll never let anypony hurt you...” He nuzzled back into her mane and relaxed, letting her sweet scent of flowers fill his senses and further calm him.

After a few minutes the delightful aroma and warmth of her body against his caused his eyelids to fall as he drifts into the realm of sleep. After a long night of sleep Electro wakes from his dreams of him and Flutters fulfilling a marriage and having foals. “Ugh... I need to head home...” He gets up carefully trying not to wake Flutters as he leaves a note telling about his leaving, peaking out the door to make sure nopony is around he hears a piercing whistle which sends him shooting into the air atop a nearby cloud, watching his friend, Blood Beat, laughing and trotting into the Everfree Forest with his dragon hunting equipment.

“Jerk...” He mutters as he flies off to his own house, entering to the extremely messy living room. A violin laying against a nearby wall as he walks into his own dirty bedroom, sheet music covering the floor as he hovers onto to his bed and collapses onto it with a sigh of happiness. “Fluttershy loves me...” He chuckled to himself as he stared at his ceiling, counting the cracks on the ceiling out of boredom and suspense.

He soon walk into the living room and tuning his violin, letting out a few sour notes before they turn sweet and gentle, flowing throughout the house and letting it ring in his ears. “Ahh, can’t wait to play with Octavia tomorrow, she’s so good with that cello of hers...” He says, thoughts of Octavia filling his mind as he shakes his head, dispelling them.

No, he can’t feel that way for Octavia anymore, He has Fluttershy now. He sighed and continued playing, the notes filling the air, the music dripping with sorrow and pain, tears welling up in his eyes from his own moving music piece. At the same time his music is filling the air Fluttershy awakes and finds the note, reading it and yawning slightly “Well, he had to go practice his instrument, I understand that” She said, not quite sure of herself as she went into the kitchen, putting a kettle on and steaming up some tea.
