>I wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat
“Damn insomnia…”
>I force myself out of bed and turn on the lights
>I exit my room, walk into the kitchen and grab a pack of fruit snacks
>Living on minimum wage sucks, but it’s better than nothing
>I walk back to my room, opening the fruit snacks as I walk
>I sit down on my bed and begin reflecting on my life
>I check the date on my alarm clock
>January 11
>Exactly two weeks since my aunt died
>I look up at my dresser, and lock eyes with the last gift she ever bought me for Christmas
>A Fluttershy plushie from Build-a-Bear
>I never told her I was a fan of the show, but somehow she knew
>Having finished off the fruit snacks, I throw the wrapper into the trashbin on the other side of my room
>I get up and grab the plushie, squeezing into a tight hug
>It has a strange but comforting warmth to it
>I squeeze it harder
>I place the plushie in my bed, and turn out the light
>I crawl into bed with the plushie, covering myself and it with the blankets
>Another tear escapes my eye
>I begin to fall asleep
>Suddenly, the plushie seems to grow bigger, and I become more tired
>My eyes are already halfway closed, and I can’t gather the strength to open them.
>Out of nowhere, a small noise
>Poof
>The plushie seems to have grown at least two or three, or perhaps even four or five times its original height
>It feels… more comfortable, and warmer…
>I tighten my grip and snuggle harder
>The hair of the plushie rubs against my nose
>Strange, the hair feels thicker and more life-like
>I begin crying again
>As soon as I let out a sniffle, the plushie begins to move, rolling around in my bed
>wut.jpg
>What’s going on? Plushies aren’t sentient creatures!
>I now realize that this is not a plushie anymore, but a living entity
>My eyes shut, and the being stops moving
>I feel breath on my face, meaning the creature is now facing me
>The breathing is light and faint, but it’s there
>Slightly scared, but too tired to really notice, I gently increased the strength of my grip
>I thought to myself “I have to be hallucinating”
>That sounds plausible. There’s no way a plushie can grow and move
>Now under that assumption, I move my head slightly forward and kiss the plushie
>Or, what I thought was the plushie
>A soft, gentle and kind-sounding voice comes from in front of me
>”Oh! Thank you!” It says
>Still groggy, I respond, not being able to comprehend what just happened.
“You’re welcome.”
>waitafuckingsecond.gif
>My eyes open wide, and I jump out of bed, startled beyond belief
>Fluttershy was right there in front of me
>A vast amount of emotions were running through me
>I have no idea how to feel. Should I respond?
>Fluttershy looks at me with a concerned look
>Well, I can’t avoid talking to her for much longer
>With my body shaking, I manage to get a response out
“Um… hi there.”
>Well, that was fucking weak
>”Hi.” She says. Her gentle voice calms me. “My name’s Fluttershy. I’m sorry if I startled you.”
“That’s an understatement. You did more than just startle me.”
>”Oh,” she says with a sad tone. She tries to hide her face in shame with her front legs
“No! No! I didn’t mean it that way, I’m sorry, it’s just…”
>”Just what?”
“Well, I’ve never met something… or someone… like you before.”
>”Really?”
“Yeah.”
>I sit down on my bed and look directly at the small pony
>Her fur is just as it was in the show, a vibrant but soft yellow
>Her mane is the same, too, a bright but calming pink
>I could just hug her right about now
>”What’s wrong?” she says
>An overwhelming amount of happiness has developed inside me
>Tears of joy begin bursting through my eyes
>I no longer cared that she just randomly appeared
>I was just happy that she was here with me
“Nothing. Nothing’s wrong. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever been this happy.”
>I sniffle.
>I reach my hand out to pet her mane, but she hesitates and moves backwards
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to hurt you.”
>This reassures her, and she moves back forward
>I move in closer, and make contact, laying my hand on her forehead
>Holy shit, her fur is soft.
>It feels like a combination of velour and a new fleece blanket
>I move my hand back and forth like a brush
>She seems to enjoy the petting, as she wiggles her left ear
>I move my hand to her ear and scratch behind it
>She giggles and squees with delight
>I scratch under her chin, and she laughs
>”Be careful.” She says gently. “I’m very ticklish.”
>[d’awwing internally]
>I take my other hand and bring it to her back, petting her wings that are folded down onto her body
>Much like the rest of her fur, her wings are soft and pleasant to the touch
>”Forgive me for forgetting, but I haven’t asked you your name” she says
“Anonymous. My name is Anonymous, but you can call me anon for short.”
>She giggles again. “That’s a silly name!”
>I chuckle and grin
“Fluttershy?”
>”Yes? “ she replies
“Would you mind if I gave you a hug?”
>She looks at me with a surprised expression on her face, but she quickly adds in a smile
>Her face lights up like a city at nighttime.
>”Oh, no! I wouldn’t mind at all!” she exclaims enthusiastically
>My heart begins beating faster
>She’s still slightly nervous, so she moves slowly towards me, but the whole time, she’s smiling
>She jumps up on her two hind legs and wraps her two front legs around my neck
>I wrap my arms around her
>Her face is directly in front of me, and she’s looking me right in the eye
>”I… I feel so comfy…” she says
>Oh, God, she’s adorable…
“I do, too.”
>I tighten the hug, pulling her in closer
>She jumps off her hind legs and puts them around my hips
>Much like a small child sitting in a parent’s lap, her legs don’t wrap all the way around my waist
>She brings herself in closer, putting her chest against mine
>I can now feel her heartbeat, and it’s in tune with my own
>Her turquoise eyes gaze into mine
>We both smile and hug tighter
>Ever since the death of my aunt, I haven’t felt at peace, but that changed with this moment
>With this moment, I felt happy
>Fluttershy’s eyelids begin to droop, as do mine
“Maybe we should think about going to bed.”
>She nods in agreement, and she releases her grip
>I pull up the blankets, and we both crawl underneath the covers
>Our heads made contact with the pillow at the exact same time
>I look at her, and she looks back at me
>She seems incredibly happy
>I put my hand onto her and begin rubbing her cheek
>She smiles and giggles again
>Could she get any cuter?
>I know I’d have to ask her about how she got here eventually, but for now, I just wanted to take in this moment
>I smile, and give her a quick kiss on the snout
>She blushes
>”Thank you, anon.”
“You’re welcome.”
>She moves closer, obviously wanting to snuggle more
>I happily oblige, and wrap my arm around her
>For a solid five minutes, we just laid there, staring at one another
>I could only imagine what she was thinking
>She continues to smile, and I continue to smile
>We just lay there, in bliss
>I finally break the silence
“May I just say that you are the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.”
>She immediately changes her expression. She looks stunned for a moment, then happy the next
>”That… that’s the sweetest thing anyone’s ever said to me!” she replied enthusiastically
“It’s true, and don’t you ever forget it.”
>Her smile grows larger, and she moves in closer
>I kiss her on the snout again
>She thanked me again, and shut her eyes. Within seconds, I heard soft snoring
>I shut my eyes, too, and I was out like a light.
>Even in my sleep, I could still feel her there
>I could feel every breath she took
>And it made me happy
>Although, I was curious as to how she got here in the first place
>But that issue could wait. That could wait forever
>As long as I had her, I was happy
>I woke up a few times in the middle of the night, and much to my delight she was still there
>Each time I woke up, I pat her softly
>Each time, she responded with a smile
>Even in her sleep, she knows I’m here for her
>I woke up one more time later on in the night, and a thought came to mind
>Will she have to return to where she came from? Will she have to leave?
>I pushed that thought away, still high on the peace that came from the presence of Fluttershy
>Right now, I don’t care if she’ll eventually have to leave
>All I care about now is this moment, and the fact that she’s here
>I closed my eyes once more, and I fell back asleep
>Even though I’m still deep in slumber, I feel something tickling my nose
>This provokes my sleep, and I begin to wake up
>I moan and hear a small voice
>”Good morning, sleepyhead!” Fluttershy says in her normal soothing voice
>I open my eyes, and sure enough, Fluttershy is right there, lying down on her stomach, looking right at me
>She nuzzles my nose, to which I respond with a smile
“Morning, Fluttershy. How’d you sleep?”
>”Really well, especially since I was next to you.”
>I blush
“Aww… Thank you, Flutters.”
>She giggles in an approving manner. I guess the nickname’s going to stick
>She gives me a small kiss on the nose, and I begin petting her again
>She smiles. Even though I’ve become used to her smiling, it still warms my heart every time it happens
>I hug her, and she hugs me right back
>The hug quickly escalated into a full-on snugglefest of epic proportions
>She felt so warm, especially under the blankets, and her fur felt like a cloud
>With a few more pecks on the snout, her and I continued to snuggle
>Just like last night, we stared into each other’s eyes for a sold five minutes at least, although it felt like an eternity
>An eternity I didn’t want to ever, ever end
>BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
>God damn alarm clock. I thought I unplugged it for the weekend
>Well, there goes our snuggle time
>Fluttershy looks startled and scared. She doesn’t know what’s going on
“Don’t worry. It’s just my alarm clock.”
>She looks puzzled. “What’s an alarm clock?” she asks with a concerned tone in her voice
>I turn away from her for a brief moment and slam the snooze button
“It’s something that lets me know when it’s time to wake up.”
>”Like a rooster?” she asks
“Sort of.” I respond
>This calms her down, and she breathes a sigh of relief
>I get out of bed and check the time on the clock, it reads 11:30
>Have I really slept for that long?
>I turn back to Fluttershy
“Come on, let’s get some breakfast.”
>Her face perks up at the sound of the word, and she jumps out of bed
>I open the door, and she gallops out into the kitchen
>I smile at the fact that she seems happy to be here with me
>My moment is interrupted
>BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
>The snooze button deactivated
>I angrily bend down and yank the alarm clock’s chord from the socket on the wall
>Satisfied, I walk into the kitchen and join Fluttershy
>I saw Fluttershy sitting on the couch, eagerly awaiting my arrival
“I’m right here, Flutters, don’t worry.”
>She smiles again
>I sit down on the couch next to her and gently pet her mane
>She seems even cuter now
“What would you like for breakfast?”
>After a bit of thinking, she responds
>”Do you have any apples?” she asks
“Let me go check.”
>I get up from the couch and walk into the kitchen
>Opening the fridge, I find at least ten Red Delicious apples on the bottom shelf
>I take out four. Three for Fluttershy and one for myself
>I place them on the counter and grab a plate from the cabinet
>The plate’s a nice shade of orange
>I place three of the apples onto the plate in a triangle formation
>Something looks familiar about this, but I can’t put my finger on it
>I bring the plate over to Fluttershy and place it on the coffee table in front of her
>She immediately picks up one apple and takes a bite out of it
>”Mmm!” She says, approving of her breakfast
>I walk back into the kitchen and grab my apple
>I return to the living room and sit down next to her
>We both chow down on our apples
>I glance out the window as I eat
>The early January sun blinds me for just a moment, but I get over it.
>Looking out the window, I see the nearby Boston skyline
>Living in a small apartment in Cambridge has its advantages
>For one, I can wake up every morning to a beautiful view of Boston
>It’s just across the Charles River, but it seemed so far away
>That is, until she showed up
>Yesterday, the city looked like it was a mile away
>Now that she’s here, the city seems closer. It’s beautiful
>I continue to pet her forehead
>She squees with delight and looks out the window
>She’s obviously admiring the city skyline
>”I’ve never seen buildings like these! Not even in Manehattan!” she states
>I knew very well she was from Equestria, but still, it was odd to hear her say that
>I wonder if anyone else will know that…
“Fluttershy, I’ll be right back. I’m gonna go get my laptop.”
>She gives me a confused look
>Right, no laptops in Equestria
>”Alright,” she says, trying to hide the fact that she has no idea what a laptop is
>I get up from the couch and walk to my room
>Opening the door, I am confronted with a very strange sight
>The Fluttershy plushie my aunt gave me is on top of my dresser
>thefuck.png
>I quickly turn my head and look into the living room
>Sure enough, Fluttershy is still there eating her apples
>I turn my head back to my room, and the plushie is still there
>I mumble under my breath so Fluttershy can’t hear me
“What the fuck?!”
>I walk over to my dresser and stick my hand out to touch the plushie
>It’s real. I’m not seeing things
>[anxiety intensifies]
>How is this possible?!
>I start pinching myself
>WAKE UP! WAKE UP!
>It’s not working
>I slap myself on the face, hard
>Wake up, damn it! WAKE UP!
>I’m still here
>Still breathing
>Wait… this means…
>suddenrealization.wmv
>This means she’s real
>This means this is actually happening
>This means all sorts of trouble for both her and me
>Well, shit. I’ve gotta confront her about this
>I start talking to myself
“You can do this, anon! You can do this…”
>I turn and look back into the living room
>She’s still there, now on the second apple
>She still has a smile on her face
>But she’s still unaware of the possible danger that lies ahead in her life
>I walk into my room and put on hand on my laptop
>I’m shaking like a fucking earthquake
>I hear her sweet voice come from the other room
>”Anon? Are you alright?”
>I’m the exact opposite right about now, but I have to lie to her
“Yeah! I’m okay, Fluttershy”
>My voice cracks
>FUCK! Now she knows I’m nervous about something
>”Okay! Just come back soon! I’m getting lonely.”
>Bullet dodged, thank the lord
>I calm myself down enough to get a grip on my computer
>I tuck it underneath my left arm and carry it out into the living room
>I make eye contact with her, and she smiles yet again
>Shit, this is going to be harder than I thought
>I sit down on the couch next to her and take my laptop out, but I struggle to open it
>Fuck, I can’t do this
>I put the laptop on the right side of the couch
>”Anon?” she says. “You don’t seem yourself.”
>Well, shit. Looks like I’m being forced into this
>”Anon?”
I’m fine, Fluttershy, but we need to talk.”
>She looks at me with a concerned facial expression
>She knows I’m under some stress right now
>”What do we need to talk about?” she asks
“Well… it’s just…”
>Fuck, this is going to be hard
“It’s just… I’m not sure this world will accept you.”
>She looks at me and frowns
>”Wh… why not?
“Well,”
>Shit, how do I explain this?
“Some people in this world may find the concept of a real-life, talking, pastel yellow and pink pony with wings to be a little out of the ordinary.”
>”Why? It’s perfectly normal where I come from.” She states
“But you aren’t in Equestria anymore, Flutters.”
>”I know that, but… why won’t people accept me?”
>Damn it, this is difficult!
“Some people don’t want to accept such rapid change.”
>I chuckle. That’s the exact reason I didn’t vote for Obama back in 2008.
>That laugh caught her attention
>”What’s so funny?” she asks
“Nothing.”
>”What, do you not want me here, either?”
>Fuck, that hurt, and that hurt hard
“What?! No! Of course I want you here!”
>She sniffles
>”But… if you want me here, why won’t anyone else?”
“I don’t know if anyone else would want you here or not, but I do know one thing.”
>She looks at me with tears forming in her eyes
“I want you here, and I don’t ever want you to leave.”
>This turns her tears of sadness into tears of joy
>She hops onto her two hind legs and hugs me, putting her head on my shoulder
>herewegoagain.gif
>I hear more sniffling and I feel tears falling onto my neck
>She’s crying up a storm now
>”Thank you, anon! Thank you!” she states
>I have to hold back my own tears
>I don’t see how anyone, anywhere, could not want this adorable creature to be real
>I hug her back
“You’re welcome.”
>Her hind legs leave the ground and rest on my hips, just like last night
>The dam bursts, and I begin to cry
>She manages to calm down within 10 minutes, but I’m still crying
>She removes her head from my shoulder and sits up straight, but she doesn’t let go of me
>”Anon?” She asks. “Why are you crying?”
“Because…”
>I gather up the courage needed to say this
“Because… the thought of you leaving is unbearable.”
>She puts her head back on my shoulder and her hind legs back on my hips
>I guess she was trying to comfort me
>Part of me wants her to stop being this cute
>Then the other part of me hits that thought upside the head with a baseball bat
>If she stopped being so cute at this point, I’d die of adorableness deprivation
>I began moving my hands up and down her back, feeling the soft fur against my palms
>She giggles and nuzzles her head against my neck
>My heartbeat increases to Ludicrous Speed
>”Um… anon? Your heart…”
“Shh… shh… it’s okay.”
>I continue to rub her back, when suddenly I feel movement
>Her wings unfold and spread
>She begins flapping them, which starts to lift me off the couch
“Fluttershy… you’re flying!”
>She notices this and stops, lowering me back onto the couch
>”Sorry, Anon. Sometimes I get carried away when I’m excited.”
“I think I was the one getting carried away this time.”
>She laughs and continues to cuddle me
>Ten more minutes pass of nothing but solid cuddling
“Fluttershy?”
>No response, except for one thing
>Light and soft-sounding snoring
>She had fallen asleep in my arms
>I tighten my grip around her and stand up with her in my arms
>She isn’t too difficult to carry, thank goodness
>I walk into my room and placed her on my bed
>I position her so her head would be dead-center on the pillow
>She smiles and continues snoring
>I cover her body with the blankets and kiss her lightly on the forehead
>She’s so cute when she’s sleeping
>I get up and exit my room, when suddenly there’s a knock at the door
>I turn around and shut the door to my room
>This could end up being good or bad
>I walk to the front door, unlock it, and open it to find my landlord, Mr. Rossi, waiting for me
“Afternoon, Mr. Rossi.”
>”Good afternoon, Anonymous.” He says to me. “Rent’s due today.”
>I forgot it was due today, but thankfully I had the money
“One second, Mr. Rossi, I’ll get the money for you.”
>I turn around, when suddenly I remember
>The money is in my room
>If I open that door, Mr. Rossi will see Fluttershy
>The secret would be out
>”Is there a problem, Anonymous?”
“No, there’s no problem, it’s just…”
>Fuck, what do I say to him?!
“It’s just… I remembered I have to go grocery shopping later today.”
>”Don’t we all, Anon?” he laughs. “Well, come on. I haven’t got all day.”
>This is gonna be tricky
>If I open that door, he’ll see her
>I’ll probably be evicted from this apartment
>A thought comes to mind
“Uh… Mr. Rossi? Would you mind waiting outside? My room’s kind of messy.”
>”Sure thing, Anonymous!” He turns around and walks away from the door
>thatwaseasy.gif
>I quickly scurry to my door, opening it at what seemed to be the speed of sound
>I throw myself into my room, shutting the door behind me
>Behind my Fluttershy plushie lies a small chest that contains the money I set aside for rent
>I open it, grab everything inside, and exit my room in a hurry
“Mr. Rossi! I've got the money.”
>He returns to my doorway and takes the money from me
>He counts it, and gives me a thumbs up
>”Thank you, Anonymous!”
“Anytime, Mr. Rossi.”
>He begins to walk away, but he stops himself and turns back to me
>”Oh, by the way, that’s a comfy looking blanket yellow blanket you've got there.”
>Yellow blanket? What the fuck is he talking about?
>I turn around and notice that I hadn't shut the door to my room all the way
>He’s just laid his eyes on Fluttershy
>”The pink pillowcase compliments it nicely.” He adds on
>Pink pillowcase? Oh, no…
>He’s looking directly at her head, but thankfully, she’s facing the other direction, so he can’t see her face
>”Alright, I’ll be off. Have a nice day!”
“Same to you, Mr. Rossi.”
>I close the door and lock it tight
>Fuckin’ A, that was close…
>I turn around and put my body against the door
>Sweating nervously, I begin to slide down the wall, eventually reaching a sitting position
>Mr. Rossi mistaking Fluttershy for a blanket and pillow confirmed two things
>1: He has fucking terrible eyesight (but for that I am thankful)
>2: Fluttershy can be seen by other humans
>I was both thankful for the latter and concerned by it
>Her being visible to others means I don’t have to worry about looking crazy
>On the other hand, it puts her in even more danger
>But an even bigger issue was of concern now
>How do I tell her this?
>Still sitting on the floor, my eyes begin to shut
>The adrenaline from that situation has faded, leaving me exhausted
>I see the movement of something yellow come from my room
>I guess Fluttershy’s awake
>I breathe a sigh of relief
>She’s safe with me… for now…
>I’m woken up by something tickling my nose
>hereigo_againonmyown.jpg
>I open my eyes, and find Fluttershy standing over me, nuzzling my nose
>I wrap my arms around her and kiss her on the snout
“Hey there, Fluttershy.”
>She smiles and kisses my nose
>I’m actually quite surprised at how fast she’s gotten used to me
>After all, she was quite shy around new people, er… ponies… in the show
>She nuzzles my nose again
>I begin to move, and she gets off me, allowing me to stand up
>I walk into my room and check the time
>Holy shit, it’s 5:30 in the afternoon
>Have I been out for that long?
>I turn back to Fluttershy
“Are you hungry?”
>”A little bit…”
>I don’t have anything suitable for a full dinner for two, so I guess I’ll order take-out
“Sorry, Fluttershy, I don’t have enough for the both of us.”
>She frowns
“But, I can order food and have it delivered here.”
>She becomes very happy
>”Really? How can you do that?”
>I pick up the phone from the countertop
>Holding it in one hand, I open a drawer and find the phone number for a local pizza shop and call it
“Hi, I’d like to place an order…”
>About half-an-hour later, there’s a knock at my door.
“I’ll be there in a moment!”
>I open the door to my room and motion for Fluttershy to go inside
>I whisper to her as to not let the delivery man know anyone but me is here
“Don’t worry, I’ll come back for you in a bit. Just stay in here until I call you.”
>”Okay, Anon.” she whispers back
>She enters my room and I follow suit
>More knocking comes from the front door
“Coming!”
>I grab my wallet from atop my dresser and scurry out of my room
>I make sure to shut the door this time
>I walk to the door and open it
>Sure enough, it’s the delivery man
“Evening!”
>”Evenin’” he says
“How much do I owe you?”
>I pray he doesn’t say ‘I need about tree fiddy’
>”Fifteen dollars and seventy five cents.” He replies
>I open my wallet and pull out a twenty dollar bill
“Keep the change as a tip.”
>”Happily, sir.”
>He hands me the pizza and takes the twenty from my hand
>”Have a good night!” he says as he begins walking away
“Likewise!” I say, shutting the door.
“Oh, Fluttershy!”
>I place the box of pizza down on the front table
>I hear the pitter patter of hooves come from behind me
>Fluttershy’s exited my room and has come to see what lies in the box
>”What is it, Anon?”
“Behold…”
I put my hand on the handle of the cardboard box and lift it open
“Pizza!”
>Fluttershy looks at the contents of the box in amazement
>”I’ve never seen any food like this before!”
“Wait until you taste it.”
>She attempts to pick up a slice, but she can’t get a grip on the slippery cheesy surface
>I giggle
“Here, let me help you.”
>I take out the slice she was trying to get
>It’s still very hot, so I blow on it for her until it cools down a bit
>I turn the slice around and hold it in front of her
>She takes a bite, and her facial expression says it all
>She’s in bliss
>She takes another bite, and her facial expression stays the same
>I smile at her enjoyment of the food
>I take the slice back and put it down on top of the box
>I get up from the couch, go to the kitchen, grab two plates as well as some napkins, and come back
>I place her slice on a plate and put the plate down in front of her
>Then I notice something; she’s got some pizza sauce on her snout
“Uh… Fluttershy… you’ve got a little something on your snout…”
>She goes cross-eyed for a moment to look at the sauce
>She looks back at me and laughs
“One second, I’ll be back.”
>I grab a napkin from the table and go to the kitchen
>I wet the napkin down in the sink
>Fluttershy is watching me the whole time, sauce snout and all
>I turn off the water and walk back into the living room
>I kneel down to her height and lift the wet napkin
“Allow me.”
>She allows me to put the wet napkin on her snout and wipe off the sauce
>I do so swiftly, making sure to get it all off
>After I wipe her snout, I check to make sure all the sauce is gone
>Yup, it’s all gone
>I take another napkin and use it to dry her fur
>She’s smiling the entire time
>After drying her snout, I begin to pet her again
>She seems to like this now
>After petting her for a few minutes, we eat the rest of the pizza
>We’re both absolutely stuffed
>When we finish eating, I threw the box in the recycle bin
>It’s been a long and interesting day
>I have a thought
>A nice shower should calm me down
>Fluttershy has begun to grow drowsy
>The food’s gotten to her
>Her eyes are closing
“Fluttershy, would you mind if I go wash up?”
>She yawns, but manages a response
>”I wouldn’t mind at all.” She says
“Alright then. I’ll be right back.”
>I run my hand through her mane, and she grins in response
>I give her a gentle kiss on the forehead, and she climbs up on the couch
>I walk to the bathroom and open the door
>After entering the bathroom, I make sure to shut the door and lock it so Fluttershy won’t see me naked
>I move the shower curtain to the side, and turn on the water
>I adjust it so it’s nice and hot, then climb in
>I let the water run down my body for a few minutes to relax my muscles before beginning to wash up
>I wash my body and hair fairly quickly, and then I shut off the water
>Letting the steam generated by the shower enter my sinuses, I breathe a sigh of relief
>I open the closet, grab a towel, and dry myself off
>After wrapping the towel around my waist, protecting my privates from view, I open the bathroom door
>Fluttershy is awaiting me outside the door
>I jump back in surprise
>”Oh! I’m sorry Anon, it’s just, I feel like I need to wash up, too.”
“Really?”
>”Could you perhaps, give me a bath?”
“I’m sorry… what did you say?”
>”I… I asked you if you could give me a bath.”
>fuckyeahiwill.gif
“Oh… alright, just let me go get into my pajamas.”
>She nods in an approving manner
>I exit the bathroom and enter my bedroom
>I open a few drawers and hastily grab the first pair of underwear, the first t-shirt and first pair of sweatpants I see
>I throw them on in less than a minute
>I run back to the bathroom, where Fluttershy is eagerly awaiting my arrival
>She smiles when she sees me
“Alright, let’s get you clean.”
>She squees in approval and anticipation
>I reach into the bathtub and turn on the water
>It starts coming from the handle
>I forgot to push down the pin that changes where the water empties into the tub
>I push it down and water starts rushing from the faucet in the tub
>Then, I put the plug into the drain
“It takes a few minutes to fill up completely. Just be patient.”
>She willingly waits for the tub to fill up
>I stop the water, as the porcelain-lined ocean is filled
“Now, just one last question, Flutters…”
>”Yes?” she responds
“Do you want bubbles with your bath?”
>”Bubbles?!” she exclaims.
“I’ll take that as a yes.”
>I reach into the cabinet and pull out the bottle of bubble soap
>The label reads “Rocky Mountain Soap Company –Bubble Bath Mix”
>Fluttershy has a huge smile on her face and her eyes are locked on the bottle
>I remove the cap and move the bottle over the tub
>The mixture pours into the water
>After about three seconds, I stop and begin mixing the water with my hand
>The bubbles begin to appear
>She doesn’t want to wait any longer
>She hops into the air, positioning herself over the tub.
>She lowers herself down gently
>Her body makes contact with the water, and she sighs with relief
>”The water’s so warm…”
>I smile while continuing to stir my hand in the water and create more bubbles
>Within minutes, the tub is filled with bubbles
>Fuck, she’s adorable when surrounded by bubbles
“Alright, let’s get you washed up.”
>I put my hands in a cup formation and dipped them below the layer of bubbles
>We’re gonna start by washing your mane, okay?”
>Fluttershy nods in approval
>I bring my hands up from under the water and position them over her head
“Close your eyes. I don’t want water getting in something so beautiful.”
>She smiles and closes her eyes
>I release the water from my hands
>I continue dumping water onto her mane until it’s nice and wet
>Then, I push the pump down on the shampoo container
>I rub it on both my hands and then begin running them through her mane
>She’s smiling the entire time
    >After coating her hair with shampoo, I put my hands back into a cup formation and dip them below the water
    >She still hasn’t reopened her eyes
    >I lift my hands out of the water and dump water onto her head again
    >I do this until all the shampoo is out of her hair
    >Then, I reach up onto the shower wall for the shower loofa
    >I grab it with one hand while simultaneously grabbing the bottle of Dove body wash with the other
    >I dip the loofa below the water and quickly bring it back up
    >I open the body wash and squirt it onto the loofa
    >I rub it in, and then proceed to rub the loofa on Futtershy’s fur
    >She doesn’t mind, but she does giggle a bit
    >I guess this tickles
    >I continue to wash her body until she’s completely covered in soap
    >At this point, the bubbles in the bath have begun to disappear
    >I begin to put my hands into a cup formation
    >”It’s okay, Anon. This part I can do myself.”
    >She proceeds to dunk herself beneath the water
>She’s under the surface for about ten seconds
>She comes back up with her wings spread out. There’s no soap left on her body
>She flies out of the tub and lands on the floor
>I pull out the drainplug  
>I wrap a towel around her and begin drying her off
“I think it’s time for bed, Fluttershy.”
>She yawns as I continue drying her off
>”I think so, too.”
>We both exit the bathroom and enter my room
>I make my bed, and she eagerly spreads her wings
>She flies and lands on top of my bed
“Do you want to go under the covers?”
>She responds by flying up once again to let me pull the covers down
>When that’s done, she flies back down onto the bed
>I turn out the light, but the lights from the city nearby enter my room through the window, keeping my room bright enough to see inside.
>I climb into bed alongside her, pulling the blankets up to cover our bodies as I do so
>”Anon, I want to thank you for letting me stay here with you.”
“It’s no trouble, Fluttershy. I’m happy to help.”
>She smiles
>I move closer to her, putting my arm around her body
>She puts her arm around mine
>”Anon, do you think you could sing me a lullaby?” she asks
>I don’t know how to sing, but I can try
“Alright, I’ll give it a shot.”
>I cough with my mouth closed to warm up my vocal chords, and I sing in a soft voice.
“Hush now, quiet now, it’s time to lay your sleepy head. Hush now, quite now, it’s time to go to bed.”
>After my verse is complete, I hear soft snoring
>She’s asleep
>I kiss her on the snout, put my head back on the pillow, and shut my eyes
“Goodnight, Fluttershy.”
