- >You feel sick, and weary, and unhappy.
- >It's almost the end of Summer.
- >Instead of happiness and brilliance filling each day one and all are panicky, nervous and scared.
- >But none will speak of this disturbing shift in emotion, but they all know about it.
- >Soon fall will be around, the days will become short and it'll be back to the dreadful grind.
- >You sit on the fence on the farthest side of Sweet Apple Acres, the setting sun mocking you as it sinks into the horizon.
- >Not wanting to look at it you turn your gaze to the grass, a soft wind blows it to the left.
- >Something catches your ear, the near silent sound of someone trotting closer.
- >A smile curls across your face, you look up to see Big Mac moseying forward, sprig of wheat in his mouth.
- >Oh, he makes it all better.
- >You try to dispel your grin, but it just won't work.
- >He says nothing, taking a position beside you on the fence, leaning up against it.
- "Hey," you say, a little of your giddiness showing in your voice.
- >"I thought I'd find you here."
- >There is some silence, you can't think of anything to say, and you know Big Mac won't say anything.
- "You like sunsets?"
- >"On occasion."
- "Depends on the company you're with?"
- >He nods, looking at the orange globe in the distance.
- >You begin to feel nervous, afraid of how to precede.
- "Are you liking this sunset?" you say, hoping your little hint makes sense to this hard to crack stallion.
- >He looks up at you, with a calm expressionless face, "It's one of the better ones."
- >You pray that means what you want it to mean.
- >You clear your throat awkwardly.
- >It's getting dark, darker even with the clouds gathering above.
- "How's the whole mare situation."
- >He shrugs, "No changes. You know I'm particular."
- >Oh he always says that.
- >What does that mean?
- >Maybe it's a hint!
- "I am too. Have I ever told you? It's so hard to find the perfect one," you apply some emotion to those last few words.
- >He looks at you with curious, and confused eyes.
- >"I think I understand..."
- >Your eyes go wide, did that just work?
- >Did it happen?
- "Looks like it's going to rain," you comment, looking up at the dark clouds that have blocked out the moon.
- >"We should head inside before it comes down," he replies softly, heading off.
- >You hurry to catch up, somewhat excited.
- >But also very aware that you could be getting your hopes up for nothing.
- >The rain comes pouring down before you and Big Mac are even half way to the farmhouse.
- >By some chance while you and he are stumbling around the fields a small shack comes into view.
- >You're already soaked, and so is he.
- >You give him a smile and nod toward the little rickety thing.
- >His pace quickens, and you step it up to keep up with him.
- >By the time you and him get inside there is no longer any point.
- >You brush your wet hair out of your eyes, suddenly realizing how small this place is.
- >There is next to no room to move, you and Big Mac are forced close together, hot breath washing over each other.
- >The patter of rain and the huffing of you and him are the only sounds.
- >You can't recall anytime you've been close with him like this.
- >It's...nice.
- "Well, we might be here awhile."
- >He looks around, "Eeyup."
- >You inch closer to him, just trying to some of his warmth.
- >He doesn't seem to notice, and doesn't move.
- "I'm cold, you?"
- >He looks up at you with slightly wide eyes, head nodding slowly.
- >Your really close now.
- >Maybe now is the time to make a move.
- >In a swift movement you lean down and kiss him.
- >The night goes silent, the rain seems to stop, all you can sense is his lips pressed against yours.
- >But he retracts quickly, stumbling back and hitting the wall, a bucket gets knocked over, creating move clatter.
- >"The hay is wrong with you?"
- "I-I'm sorry, it was an accident," you claim, flinching.
- >You fucked up.
- >You fucked up, badly.
- >"That wasn't no accident. Y-you just uh..." his voice trails off.
- >He shakes his head.
- >He recollects himself, and steps forward, not looking upset or disgusted, just tired tired.
- >And maybe a little unsure.
- >He takes a few unsteady steps forward, his eyes looking everywhere but at you.
- >Assuming he is trying to get close you shorten the trip, inching forward, face hot and hands trembling.
- >Why does this have to be so hard?
- >You and him are within touching distance, He hops up, putting his hooves on your chest.
- >He looks at you sternly, his face a mix of uncertainty and disturbance.
- >You dip your head toward him-
- >Success!
- >Oh this is amazing, you shut your eyes tight.
- >It's just like you've imagined.
- >He pulls back again, brow furrowed, searching around the room with his eyes.
- "What's the matter?"
- >"This is a little, uh, strange for me."
- >You close the gap.
- "Relax, don't worry. We can go as slow or as quick as you want."
- >He glances over at a bale of hay.
- >"Might as well go quick. An' I got an idea."
- "Are you sure about this?"
- >He nods, laying some more hay on the floor.
- >You take off your wet shirt, but hold off undressing further.
- >He gets on his back, cracking a nervous, shaky smile.
- >You return, your own uncertainty bleeding through.
- >This could very well be the best thing that's happened in a very long time.
- >You descend upon him, running your hand up his soft stomach.
- >A kiss gives you another taste of this fine stallion.
- >Once more you notice the patter of the rain as your senses heighten.
- >One of his hooves runs down your chest, down to your leg.
- >It meets up with his other hoof, undoing the button on your pants.
- >With a sharp intake of breath you slid off your jeans, your hand running over his shaft.
- >He lets out a long breath, shivering at your touch.
- >You smile warmly, kissing his chest, the his mouth another time.
- >It only gets better.
- >He nuzzles your chest, soft mane tickling you.
- >You button up your shirt, just now noticing the rain has ended.
- >Big Mac gives you a half grin, you spot some regret in his features.
- >But your brain won't accept it, you're too focused on what could be the start of something great.
- "Wow. I don't even know what to say after that."
- >He leans up against the wall, catching his breath, "Eeyup."
- "Yeah, that works."
- >A knocking comes at the shack's door.
- >"Big Mac?" Applejack calls.
- >Fuck.
- >His eyes go wide and shoot to the door.
- >"Big Mac, you in there?
