Part 3   >Cheerilee had you working in the classroom nearly all day. >The janitor ponies decided to take a three-week vacation to Manehattan. >Big Mac came at the end and said that he forgot that he had promised to help. >She says that she doesn't mind because you were there. >In fact, she was giving you a paid day off on Monday for all of your hard work. >Can't complain, nigga. >Cleaning the schoolhouse wasn't so bad, but you were just so distracted. >You had trouble focusing on any task for more than a few minutes. >All you could think about was Fizzle.   >And that the fact that you had almost played on the other team for him. >Let's face it, Fizzle is cute and adorable, and a great friend. >But you aren't so sure that you want to be more than friends with him. >After your near sexual encounter with him, you had a better grasp on your conscious. >In fact, you felt relieved that nothing happened. >You lost control, and you were only acting in the heat of the moment. >You'll just tell Fizzle that you were both just sexually frustrated. >You both can be bros, great friends, and that's it. >Nothing else....   >You leave the schoolhouse around 8pm. >Luckily, your Saturday wasn't entirely wasted. >Decide to take Fizzle out for a round of cider. >Keeping it simple and friendly. >Maybe you'll let him stay the night again until he can head back home. >N-not in a gay way or anything! >Just a bro helping out another bro.... >Walk home was quiet and lonely. >Sky looked beautiful though. >Lots of stars, and the moon was large and luminescent. >Too bad you didn't have a mare to take out. >Maybe you can take Rainbow Dash out tomorrow night and make up for your missed date. >But what about Fizzle? >.... >Wait, what ABOUT Fizzle!? >... >You can't help but feel bad about leaving him hanging. >Even though ideally he would go home tomorrow. >But maybe he can stay another night or two.... >You didn't really want him to have to go home to being bullied all the time....   >Arrive at your apartment. >Fumble searching for keys. >Got them! >Dropped them.... "Fuck..." >Bend down and pick them. >As soon as you pick them up, your door opens. >Fizzle stands there waiting for you, looking absolutely terrified. >His body is trembling, but he gives you a weak smile. >"H-hey, bro! H-how w-was..." >Before he can finish, you see Rainbow Dash trot up behind him. >Great. >She's the last pony you wanted to see right now. "Hey, Fizzle. What's up, Rainbow?" >Rainbow gives you a sly smirk. >"Oh, nothing Anon.... I just decided to come and see you, but then I noticed this faggy dragon making a racket in your apartment. I just had to come and check out what the fuss was about!"   >"So me and him decided to have a talk, and he told me some very interesting things..." >No. >No he did not. >He better not have said anything about your little "encounter" earlier. >You try to catch Fizzle's eyes. >He immediately looks down, and starts to fiddle his thumbs. >Fuck, he really did. >You cough nervously. "What did you guys talk about?" >Rainbow walks past you, hitting you with her tail. >She gives a little laugh. >"Oh you know, about how you and him were good friends. And how you were talking about how you were going become roomies." >Roomies? >When did that happen? >You look at Fizzle again. >He avoids your eyes yet again. "Yeah, roommates, so what?" >Fizzle's head immediately picks up. >Rainbow scowls at you. >"What about us? I thought we were going to eventually become roommates!" >Uh... "Rainbow, w-wait...." >"No. I see what's going on here. It's painfully obvious, Anon. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"   >This is it. >It's all over. >Rainbow knows that you and Fizzle almost did it earlier today. >She knows that you adore his feminine hips. >His cute smile. >His pretty, pink eyes. >And his soft, round butt. >She'll tell all of Ponyville. >Everyone will know that the only human in Equestria is a homo. >And I'll be hit on by all the stallions all over.   >You sigh deeply. >Might as well come clean. >Take some of the pleasure away from Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow, I..." >She runs up and hugs you tightly around your midsection. >"Anon, I can't believe you got new furniture and cleaned up your apartment just to impress me!" >Wat. >You laugh nervously. >You look over to Fizzle. >He looks uncomfortable. >More so than usual. >Probably because of Rainbow Dash hugging you. >"Fizzle told me how you asked him to help renovate your apartment. You got a bunch of new furniture, got your walls painted, all for me!" >Again... wat? >You look at Fizzle once more. >He gives you a nervous smile and shrugs.   >"T-that's right, Anon! I fixed up your apartment j-just like you asked!" >What is going on. >This isn't any better than Rainbow telling everyone you almost buttfucked a dragon. "Y-yeah, Rainbow. I needed to impress y-you!" >What are you doing, Anon? "I-I just needed to show you how bad I f-felt about our date." >ANON, PLEASE. "So I asked Fizzle here, the best interior designer around, to help me out!" >Fizzle lets out a soft cough. >Rainbow Dash looks up at you with her big ol' eyes. >"Anon, I can't believe this! I totally need to move in with you..." >You push her off and laugh nervously. >She blinks lovingly at you. "Y-yeah, sure! But not yet! We still got a lot of work to do, s-so... I'll call you in a few days or w-weeks..." >Rainbow punches you playfully. >"Whatever, Anon! I'm so excited. I'll see you tomorrow night, alright?" >You nod quickly. "Y-yeah. Sure. Ok, bye!" >She plants a big kiss on your lips. >You hear Fizzle cough again from behind you. >She turns and flies off, squealing as she leaves. "What was that? What just happened?"   >You turn to Fizzle, expecting an answer. >His face is beet red. >He looked so uncomfortably adorable. >You decide to give the apartment a look since it is apparently "renovated." >Wow. >The walls were painted a nice reddish-orange color, and your old furniture was replaced with beautiful, wooden furnishings. >The floor was absolutely spotless. >The kitchen was spotless. >You can't believe this.... >Fizzle did this... for you? >You can't believe it. >You head towards your bedroom. >Even the door was replaced. >You walk into your room. >Everything in this room was replaced as well. >Your old twin bed was replaced with a queen size. >The walls painted a deep blue, the carpet replaced. >You turn to Fizzle and stare at him. >Questions racing through your mind at a million miles a minute. >You just sigh deeply. "Fizzle, what's really going here?" >He laughs nervously. >His face starts to get red.   >"Oh you know! I j-just had to do something nice f-for my best bro!" >He looks at the ground, smiling. >It's so cute to look at. >But now isn't the time! "Ok, how could you possibly afford all of these things AND do them in a day?" >Fizzle blushes even harder. >"Aw, A-Anon! Y-you don't need to worry about t-that! Just... j-just know that I h-had to call a few favors." >A few favors? >This looks like far more than a few favors. >But you can't even form any more words. >Deep down, you feel greatly appreciative towards Fizzle. >He did something incredibly nice for you.... >... because he genuinely cares about you. >Or maybe because he wanted to repay you for yesterday....   >You head back into the living room. >Plop on the couch, and sigh deeply. >Wow, it's way more comfortable than your old piece of crap couch. >Fizzle went all out for you. >Speaking of the dragon... >Fizzle stands across the room. >He's fidgeting and twiddling his thumbs again. >It's so cute when he does that.... >You pat the seat next to you, inviting him over. >His demeanor instantly changes to positive and happy. >He heads over to you quickly and sits down. >He gets nice and snug next to you. >Wow, he feels so warm. >After a long day of hard work, this feels really nice. >Just you and Fizzle, chilling. >He's making you feel so comfortable. >Do you really want to make him leave? >Or even tell him you can only be friends? >Really, you just want to make everyone happy. >You look over at Fizzle. >He is gently patting you with his tail. >Can't help but feel all warm inside.   >You've only known Fizzle for a day. >But he feels like such a good pal. >And he's been much nicer than any mare here has been. >Gosh... >Are you really considering being with a gay dragon than someone like Rainbow Dash? >It's been a really long day. >That's all. >A good night's sleep would be good for you. >And undoubtedly for Fizzle, whom clearly worked much harder than you today. >Only to impress you.... >You have to tell him something. >Just say something to him. >Anything. >He's looking at you endearingly. >He's waiting patiently for you to tell him how great a job he did. >And how thankful you are of all of his hard work. >Which you really are. >Fizzle's smiles begins to uncurl into a frown. >"Is everything alright, b-bro? Do... d-do you not l-like it?" >He ears flop down. "F-fizzle... I really like, no, LOVE what you did here. I'm just at a loss for words. No one had ever done anything like this for me." >Fizzle's face instantly becomes red. >His smiles, trembling slightly. >"Y-yeah... I'm glad you like it, A-Anon!" >He looks comfortable for once. >He seems to be completely relaxed. >This is great. >Everything is great right now. >But you have to tell him how you feel. >It's important for your friendship. >You clear your throat. "Fizzle, I have to tell you-" >His lips stop you from continuing. >He's put his entire weight on you. >His lips pressing against yours. >Gently, as if he was awaiting your approval. >You slowly wrap your arms around him and pull him closer to you. >He instantly obeys. >You press him against your body. >Your lips never separate for a second. >It feels too good to break. >His tongue is warm and gentle. >You begin to rub his back slowly. >Fizzle moans in approval. >This feels absolutely right.... >You feel his heart beating hard through his chest. >He is feeling this just as much as you are. >After what feels like an eternity, he breaks the kiss. >He proceeds to lick your neck. >You lie back and take it. >He's trying to take control. >But he's scared to do too much. >You can tell. >It's absolutely adorable. >You look into his eyes. >His beautiful pink eyes glowing with adoration and lust. >You put a hand behind his head. >As good as this feels, there is still a bit of doubt in your heart. >But you can't hurt him. >He is so sensitive. >And he's trying so hard for you to like him. >Which you do. >You couldn't bear to push him away after this. >Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to keep him around. >His looks so good for a dragon. >And he feels amazing against your body.   >Fizzle licks your cheek playfully. >He must be able to sense your uncertainty. >You move a hand lower on his back. >You feel his body get tense. >He lets out a long moan as he rests his head on your chest. >"A-Anon... do y-you like me? N-Not in a g-gay way or anything! J-just do you... d-do you l-like-" >You interrupt his sentence with a kiss this time. >His stuttering is too much for you to handle right now. >It's just so cute. >Everything he does is absolutely cute. > You move your hands lower down his back. >He responds by wrapping his tail tightly around your leg. >You move your hand onto his butt. >His body tenses up immediately. >You kiss him more passionately in an effort to relax him. >He feels your gentle authority. >His body eases against your touch. >You break the kiss. >Fizzle lays his head across your chest. >"Anon... A-Anon...." >He nuzzles your chest affectionately. >The two of you lie in silence. >Holding each other tightly and lovingly. >This feels right. >It feels so right. >But you don't want it to end. >You need him to stay around, for even a bit longer. >You lift his head up slowly and look into his eyes.   "Fizzle, do you need to go back home?" >His body shudders as your words pierce the silence like a sharpened blade. >His eyes immediately start darting all around, missing yours completely. >You gently rub his back to calm him down. >He coughs quietly. >"N-nah... I don't really have to g-go back...." >His body continues to shudder. >"No. I d-don't have to go back. Ever. I-I'm... I'm just so t-tired of...." >He stops and puts his head into your chest. >You feel his breathing getting heavy. >His grip gets tighter on you. >You hear him start to sniffle. >"T-they all m-make fun of me... All of them... I c-can't stand it anymore!" >He begins to cry on your chest. >You hold him tighter, trying to console him. >But to no avail. >Your chest starts to get wet from the tears. "Fizzle..." >He sniffs loudly. >"You make me f-feel so comfortable. Safe. I f-feel protected when I-I'm around you. I just don't want to go back. Ever. I f-felt so... alone... and s-sad...! And..." >He breaks down and begins to cry even more loudly. >It breaks your heart to hear Fizzle so upset. >You can't send him back. >You want to make him feel better, and keep him close to you. >And keep him safe. >Who would bully him? >And why? >You can tell he's never meant any harm. >Others didn't see that. >They were judgmental. >You won't be. >You'll keep Fizzle around as long as he wants to be around you.   >Fizzle eventually lifts his head up. >He looks at you endearingly, but saddened. >His eyes are bloodshot from him crying. >"Are... are y-you going to s-send me back, b-bro?" >You shake your head. "I don't want you to go back. If you feel safe here, then stay with me. If you feel happy, stay. But if you want to leave, then you can. I will never make you though." >A tear rolls down his rosy cheek. >He closes his eyes and begins to sniffle again. >"D-do you mean that?" >You lift his head up and rub the tears from his face. >You kiss him on his forehead, on his cheeks. >He returns the favor with a kiss on your lips. >"Anon... I... I think I l-love you." >You feel your heart melt. >But then you feel your head hurt. >The doubt is coming back. >Fighting. >But you suppress it. >You push it all the way to the back of your mind. >You let your heart do the talking. "I think I love you too, Fizzy....." >With that, he passionately kisses you again. > A kiss that seems to last an eternity, and more.   >You hear a tap outside your window. >You open your eyes, without breaking the kiss. >You focus your eyes on the window. >You see the blurry image of a cyan mare. >Her eyes wide and reddened. >You blink once. >And she is gone. >Fizzle pulls away and looks at you lovingly. >You look into his eyes. >You see your reflection in them. >You look gaunt, and scared. >And, in an instant, the doubt returns.   ~
