>”WAAAAHHHH” a faint cry is heard at the distance of a community park
>A small girls with short pink hair, a long yellow dress/overall and a beige shirt is crying under a tree, constantly sniffing and hiccupping
>That girl is you
>Those kids are such meanies, why they did push you? You never did anything bad to them, you just wanted to play with them
>But they keep calling you Klutzershy and other nasty stuff, but why?
>You don’t care, Mommy told you to go outside, but you hate it, it only makes you cry and feel bad
>The tears just keep running
>Until you feel a hand patting your back.  You quickly turn around, startled
>“There you are!” a boy slightly bigger than you is smiling
>Despite his cheerful smile, you cannot contain the tears, you broke again and hide your face in your knees
>”Hey! What’s wrong?” The boy kneeled to your lever, still patting your back “Did those kids picked on you?”
>You weakly nod “Then I’ll be your knight!” with that statement, you slowly turn your head and watch the boy who just took the job as your personal knight, like in those fairy tales you loved so much  “I’ll do it, so you will not cry again!”
>He offers you a hand, still with that infectious smile
>”You can count on me Shy…” that last part echoes through your head
>”…Shy” It sounds louder, making you feels safe
>”…Shy!” That’s weird, it keeps getting louder everytime You hear it
>”Fluttershy!”
>”FLUTTERSHY!”
>You snap back at the voice yelling your name
>You’re Flutteshy, at the Canterlot High Cafeteria
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxrQfSsRYsA
>”Sugarcube, are y’all right?” Your friend Applejack ask, with an obvious look of concern
>”Yeah, is not like you to be this distant darling” Rarity finishes “We were getting worried”
“O-oh, im sorry girls” You quickly apologize, you never meant to worry your friends but being lost in your memories caught them off guard
>You stay in silence after that, hoping whatever the girls were talking resumed, eating slowly your salad
>…
>The silence is still here, while all your friends are looking at you, as you slowly shrink on your seat
>”So?” Inquired Sunset Shimmer
“So?” You repeat quietly
>”What were you wandering about, Flutters?” Rainbow Dash interrupted
“N-nothing”
>”Really? Because that’s too much for remembering nothing” Twilight Sparkle noted
“I-is fine girls” you  quickly move your hands “I was just remembering something while I was a kid”
>”Oh my, Fluttershy” Pinkie Pie squee’d “Was it about a boy?”
“WH-WH-WHAT?!” You quickly jump from your seat
>”That reaction just confirms it, sugarcube” AJ chuckles “So who’s this fella?”
>Everyone is looking at you again
“J-just s-someone who helped me… before I met Dash” You replied lowering your voice
>The whole group just D’awwed at the same time, leading even more people gathering their attention to your table at the cafeteria, just what you wanted
 
>Somewhere else
>You’re Anon
>You slowly opened your eyes, only to find out that you haven’t moved an inch since you closed your eyes some hours ago, in the seat of the train that’s going to Canterlot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3pJom2ZiNc
>You yawn and stretch in your seat, as you slowly turn your head towards the window, the city of Canterlot is on the horizon
“Damn that was a good nap” you say proud, the traveling was less painful when you sleep “We’re almost at nothing to finally arrive”
>With you back on your seat, now sitting normally you make a quick summary of what’s on the agenda
>You were not happy with the college you were studying, so you proposed your mother to go to Canterlot, which was very proud of having the cream of the crop of the colleges in the state
>You needed to do the exam again, but fortunately you did some research and you did not have to do all your courses again
>After some hard earned work and saved money, you were able to get a small apartment in Canterlot, ready to move on and face a new life
>Before boarding the train your mother gave you a piece of paper “You might want to visit this place” That’s what she said before planting a kiss on your forehead and shoving you to the train
“Mothers” You scoff
>After a half an hour, more or less, the train finally stops at the Canterlot Station
>You wait till the other people that are leaving the cart scram, you always liked to leave at the last moment
>As you lazily step down, with your luggage on you back and the piece of paper on your right hand, you read what was on it
>A direction, just like she said, and with the extra annotations it sounds like an animal shelter
>Why on earth your mother would mark this place as if was so goddamn important?
>You check a map that’s on the hall of the train station, And you wince, it’s almost at the downtown of the city
>After some thought, you shrug and started to walk, is not like you will have limited time, and it’s your first day here, you can always have some sightseeing and getting familiar with the city.
>You start to make your way to the so important location you mother wrote, it could take a couple of hours, but nothing you could not handle
>You start walking
>You’re now Fluttershy
>You make your way to the animal shelter
>You’re alone, since the girls were unable to accompany you
>Applejack was needed at the farm, Sunset stayed in school tutoring Pinkie Pie and Twilight and Dash were busy “helping” in her boutique
>This is somehow a blessing in disguise, since that means no more questioning about what happened in the cafeteria
>Not because you didn’t trust your friends
>But because these memories are so special, you could say even sacred for you

 “Anon!”  You quickly run to the little boy, face planted in the grass, next to the tree
“Are you okay?”
>The boy just stands up and shakes his head, and looks at his hands “Hey Flutters!  Look!”
>Anon opens his hands, as you look down, and notice what he was holding… a small butterfly hairpin
>You eyes are open as plates. You thought you lost it a few hours ago, after win it in a prize machine, you ask where it was, because you looked and looked everywhere and it disappeared
>Anon smirks “I saw some kid took it from your backpack, After I accused him he told me where he hid it”
>Anon pointed out a very tall tree branch more specifically a nest
>Both your cheeks warms, as you hold the pin close to your chest
“Thank you, Anon”
>CHIRP!!
>Chirp? You look quickly look both left and right, trying to find where that sound came from. It was close, but where?
>CHIRP!!
>Again, you focus where is the origin of the sound
>Something emerges from your cousin’s reddish pink hair, a little bird, a very, very little bird
>You remember seeing it somewhere in the school books, a robin, a baby robin
>You giggle while Anon tries to get it off of him “H-hey! Let go!” He ruffles his hair, but a t the same time the bird has his hair firmly grasped
>Your little lungs give upp, and you laugh at your hands contents at the feud between your cousin and a baby bird
>”Hey, kids” Everything all right here?” a deep voice breaks the scene, as you two turn your heads to see where it comes from
>”Oh PA!, HI!” Anon waves his hands at the big man; your uncle,  Anon Senior.
>After some explaining, uncle Anon nods, as he agreed to help you to get the robin back to its home, since the little guy was only calm when you were holding it
>He lifted you high enough to reach the nest. You waved goodbye to your new friend as Uncle puts you back to the floor
>”Come kids, your Ma and your aunt are getting the picnic ready”
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V216jD1Ex0M
>You’re now reaching your destination, walking is less of a chore when you’re deep down on your memories. That little robin was the first one, since that day, you were bringing in animals to the house almost every day, with that little hairpin as your witness until today
>You’re in front of the Animal shelter
>One final thought invades your mind, you really want to see anon again
>You reach out for the door’s handle, but at the same time a hand clashes with yours
>”Oh, I’m sorry missy!” You hear “You first” Before you go through the door, the voice sounds somewhat… familiar
>You turn your head, only to find out
>It’s Mr. Safari, the husband of the Shelter founder and retired safari man
>You mentally scold yourself, Come on Fluttershy, keep yourself together , who else cold it be?
>Is not like Anon is going to appear behind Mr. Safa-
>”Hey, uh… is this the Canterlot Animal Shelt-FLUTTERSHY?!”
>You instantly freeze, now that’s a voice you definitely feel familiar.
>It can’t be, though
>A young male appears behind the pudgy man, he looks like Anon, way more taller than you remember and a bit scruffy
>But that hair, those eyes… Oh my! That smirk! IT’S HIM! IT REALLY IS HIM!!
“ANON!!”
 
>Finally, after almost two hours walking, getting lost three times and ending in a sketchy neighborhood called Griffonstein (Not to be confused with the actual country Griffonstone), you finally arrived to the blessed animal shelter
>By the lord in the skies your mother and you will have a serious conversation when you arrive at your apart-
>Your internal rant is interrupted when you see a  flock of pink hair behind the  fat man in front of you
>Reminded you to your dear cousin Fluttershy, but then again, she’s not the only one with a pastel colored hair, especially in this place
>You shrug it
>You better ask if you’re in the place you have to be, you usually get lost when it comes to visiting areas for the first time, even with a map
>You decide to circle the big guy
“Hey uh… is this the Canterlot Animal Shelt- FLUTTERSHY?!”
>You take a glimpse of the slim girl in front of you; the detail that gives her away is the small butterfly hairpin she wears
>Definitly her
>You smirk when you see her, and then the next couple of seconds is a blur
>You find your back making acquaintances with the pavement and Fluttershy pinning you down with a bear hug , the girl is strong for her physique
>You hear the door slamming and a voice of a middle aged woman with a lot of worry on her tone
>”Fluttershy, dear, are you alright?, I heard you yelling!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fd6MW-XhO5I
>Judging by the woman’s reaction, it seems that your dear cousin being loud is still a VERY rare as a solar eclipse
>”O-oh, Ms. Safari!” Fluttershy quickly got off of you  as fast as she tackled you down “Good evening”
>Now that’s the soft spoken girl you remember
>”And pray tell, Who’s this young fellow?”
>”Huh?... OH gosh, ANON!” Flutters turns on her heels and quickly helps you get on your feet, a shame, you could feel how your back and the street had a connection of some sorts
>You see your cousin fidgeting , she can’t hide her happiness, and you can barely hide it, despite your calm demeanor says otherwise
>It’s been a while since you two see each other, almost 11 years
“I missed you Flutters” you say as you pulled your cousin for a more personal hug, she offers no resistance and hugs you back
>”AHEM! Anon is that it?” You hear the woman Shy addressed as Ms. Safari “I take you and miss Fluttersgy know each other”
“You have no idea” You say as your gaze meets her
>And geez, what’s with that look?
>She looks at you, back to Fluttershy, then back to you, and then back to Fluttershy
 >Her gaze show a lots of things, curiosity, suspicion, and finally, amusement
>A woman in her mid-thirties as you assumed, green hair tied with a ponytail with a few bangs on the sides of her head, using an apron over her matching green sweater, jeans and boots.
>”Well then, I’m pretty sure you kids have a lot to catch up… Fluttershy dear, you can take the day off” Ms. Safari nods
>”Oh my, are you sure?”  Man, Fluttershy is really bad at hiding her excitement, or her other emotions for that matter
>Ms. Safari nods again
>”THANK YOU!”
>You feel your arm getting tugged, while Fluttershy urges you to follow her
>You decide to not take much resistance, but not after you messaged your mother you finally arrived to Canterlot, and thanking her for the nice surprise
>And after a while you are dragged through Canterlot, your new home
 
>Somewhere else, in a Cafe
>You just received a message from your son, you open your phone as you put on your glasses
>”Arrived to canterlot, nice surprise ma, thanks”
>You smile, while the waitress arrives with your mocha and your butterscotch pie
“Keikaku doori” you whisper
>”Keikaku means plan” the waitress completed
 
>You’re now Fluttershy
>You spent all the evening showing Anon all the points of interest you could think of
>The lake, the park, the mall, the entrance of your school, the fair and many more
>Your final stop is Sugarcube Corner
>Anon collapses in the couch, sighs and stretches
>Poor thing, he must have been exhausted
>”Aww man, I really needed that walk” his stomach releases a very loud growl “I really need to bite something, I haven’t eat anything since this morning”
>Guilt somewhat get you, you’ve been too busy showing him around the city, you’ve never thought to ask if he was hungry
“I-im sorry” you lower you head, but Anon just laughs
>“Don’t worry about it, Flutters” your cousin says while checking out the menu “honestly, I didn’t feel hungry until now”
>You smile, since it was obvious he’s lying
>He was always like that, even since you two were kids, ‘T’is but a flesh wound’ kinda kid
>”Say, you want something Flutters?”
“O-oh, don’t worry, I am fine” You wave at him, only to be shut up by your stomach roar
>Anon just  chuckles, while your face is burning red from embarrassment
>”You can have a share if you want, don’t worry about it” he smiles “You’ve been a light eater after all”
>”HI, IM PINKIE PIE!” a pink poof appears out of nowhere “OHHAI FLUTTERSHY!”
>”GHA!!”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bZT6S_FNr8
>”Welcome to sugarcube corner! GASP omigosh,I’veneverseenyoubeforestrangerareyounew?what’syourname?areyouheretostay?wanttobemyfriend?omigoshialwayslovetomakenewfriends…”
>”H-huh?” Poor Anon whith his hand still on his chest, is clearly  overwhelmed by Pinkie Pie curiosity
>”Anyways, what would you like to order, Mr Stranger?”
>”Uhh… The name’s Anon… and yeah” Anon raises his eyebrow “Would like a chocolate cake and a espresso, please”
>Okie Dokie Lokie!” Pinkie writes everything in her notebook
>Still your friend haven’t brought anything about the cafeteria, hopefully she already forg-
>”By the way Fluttershy, is he the one you were thinking about in the cafeteria?”
>…..Shoot
>”Yeah, you were even more distant than usual, lost in your thoughts back there. I wanted to ask, you two seem very close…”
“P-pinkie”
>And Oh my gosh! That look back there and right now, it have a sparkle I’ve never seen before…”
>”Pinkie”
>”I swear, it’s almost like you are in l…”
“PINKIE!!”
>Finally you caught your friend’s attention… hers and the rest of the clients in the establishment
>An awkward silence is present, as you feel all the stares directly at your neck
“I…I changed my mind” you shrink in your seat “I would like to order something”
>Pinkie stares at you emotionless.. you love your friend, but those stares are realy unnerving
>She suddenly smiles “The usual?”
“Y-yes!”
>”Okie Dokie Lokie! Stay put you two!”
>As Pinkie leaves to the counter, you let out a sigh. Embarrassed is putting it gently of how you feel
>”So… you’ve talked about  me huh?” Says Anon, showing his trademark smirk
>You  avoid his eyes, but at the same weakly nod
>Pinkie brings both your orders, the chocolate café and the espresso for Anon, and the usual for you, a strawberry milkshake and a Three Milk Cake with fruits on top
>There’s also a small post it aside the plate, it looks like a drawing from Pinkie with a small note, you quickly read it
“Atta girl?”
>Is just a quick drawing of a small pinkie giving you both thumbs up
>You don’t get it
>You’ve eated your dessert so as Anon, while finally catching up, exchanged phone numbers and joking for a while
>Anon is studying archeology and he wants to apply for Canterlot College, and since they can revalidate all the courses he took already,  he could continue no problem.
>You know that your auntie is doing okay and your uncle, while away, still doing fine
>You tell him how hectic school has been, now that you’re a senior, Anon just nods and agrees
>Anon asked what did you wanted to study in college, almost instantly you said veterinary
…
>”Say Flutters” Anon points out at your plate “Can I have that grape?”
>You look at the green grape and then nod, after all they’re his favorites
>He thanks you, and put it in his mouth, but he doesn’t eat it right away
>Instead he just keeps it in his mouth and plays with it
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_x1UbtOi2vw
>you see how Anon playfully moves the fruit with his tongue left and right
>How he caresses the grape so gently with his tongue and teeth, the thin skin is unharmed as a perfect balance between being delicate and rough
>You remember reading one of Rarity’s magazines, about how much of a good kisser a boy could be if he can tie a cherry, you wonder if what Anon is doing could count as we-
>What? What are you thinking?! B-bad Fluttershy, He’s your cousin, not a stranger
>You then start to take notice how much anon has changed
>His facial structure is now more defined, and a very hard chin. How a little patch of facial hair is starting to raise from his skin, his eyes, though they still have the same young spark you remember, you can notice how are more sharpened
>You look a bit lower, noticing how his collarbone pops up from his chest; his arms are more toned and defined than you remember; his hands are definitely bigger than yours, manly but not what you classify as brutish
>Anon was not the kid you remember, he’s now a full grown man
>You return your attention to the grape, or maybe that was your excuse, you focus on your cousin lips, on how malleable they are when they press against the grape or when the tongue licks them, and shine thanks to the coat of saliva
>You start to feel funny, like steam coming out from your head, conflicted
>He’s a fine man
>But he’s your cousin
>He’s you cousin… who’s now a fine man
>”Fluttershy? Are you okay?”
>”FLUTTERSHY!” Anon’s voice drag you back to the real word
“W-wha…?”
>You meet his eyes, while his eyes denote a hint of worry. Just how long you dozed off?
>”Are you okay?”
“I-I am fine!”
>You quickly grab your smoothie and start drinking it nonstop, lowering your sights
>You can see how Anon’s posture relaxes, and how FINALLY he is starting to chew the little fruit
>”Say Flutters, you don’t look okay” Anon reaches to your side of the table and places his hand over your forehead
>You petrify at his contact, as you feel the heat from his body mixing with yours. You want to talk, but your mouth is completely locked
>”Hmm…” Anon frowns “You don’t seem a little bit feverish”
>After a lot of internal struggle you managed to let out a small and faint whimper, enough for Anon to hear and realize the position both of you are
>Anon blinks, and immediately retracts his hand and returns to his seat
>”Sorry” He scratches the back of his head “ I forgot how you get when someone gets very close to you”
>Finally, your muscles are not tense any more, but you certainly feel awful for making him worry and then guilty
>There’s a bit of an awkward silence
>Maybe you should say something
>…
>”Sorry”
“Sorry”
>There’s another short silence, followed by a hearty laugh from both sides
“Sorry if I worried you Anon”
>”And I am sorry as well” Anon says “I was just a bit concerned, you were a bit red”
“O-oh, well, i… i…”
>It’s okay Fluttershy, you can say something else, please don’t say I was looking at your sweet lips or something That would be totally ridiculous hahahaha, and please STOP SHAKING!!
>”Are you catching a cold?” Anon tilts his head
“Uhhhhh… y- YES!”
>Good enough
>”Well, let’s better get going” Anon starts to gather all his stuff “It’s already dark”
>You turn to the window, only to confirm that it’s indeed pitch dark outside
>You see Anon getting up and place a dollar bill on the table “Keep the change” he said as he helps you to get back on your feet
>Both of you  are now out of Sugarcube Corner, you feel a chilly breeze hitting you in your naked arms
>You’re never outside this late, so the idea of bringing a sweater never crossed your mind, you usually get home before the sun sets
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnt7pIfaBRI
>Suddenly, the breeze is not hitting your unprotected skin, or at least not as much
>You look down, to find out that Anon’s shirt on your shoulders, covering you
>With him being a bigger body frame, it fits almost your whole body and your back behind
>Turning up to you cousin, you see him in only a tanktop
>”We don’t want that cold to get worse, would we?” he smirked at you
>You pull closer his shirt and smile. Anon hasn’t changed at least in that aspect.
>”Hey don’t worry, I am tougher than I look”
>Yep, neither in that aspect either. He will not take a “no” for an answer
“Thank you”
>You whisper, for both of you to start the way to your house
 
 
 
>After a few blocks of walking, you arrive at the entrance
>The walk looked so short, with a small chit chat, making sure each exchanged cellphone numbers and emails
>You’ve never had so much fun in a while
“Say Anon, want to join us for dinner?”
>”Sure Flu- Whoa wait…Us?” You see how Anon suddenly tenses
“Yeah! I’m pretty sure Mom and Dad would be just as surprised to see you as I am”
>You see how he’s looking at his phone, squinting at you assume a message he just got
>”Oh, sorry Flutters” Anon fidgets “I was supposed to receive the moving truck at the apartment”
“Oh, well in that case let me call my parents so we can hel-“
>”DON’T!” the sudden increase of his tone startles you “I- I mean, don’t worry about it, I can do it myself, besides I am sure you’re pretty tired, and I want you to get some rest”
>You approach to Anon, you see him fidgeting even more, while his respiration is getting more and more irregular
“Are you okay?”
>You extend your hand, trying to reach his face
>He quickly intercepts it and holds it firmly
>”N-never better cous, but seriously I have to get going”
>Catching you by surprise, he lowers his head and places his free hand on top of your head to get you closer to him and gives you a small peck in your forehead
>Your shock is visible, which he uses it to do a 180° and start run
>There is something odd, something you’re forgetting
>Oh that’s right Anon’s shirt!
“W-wait! Anon! You forgot…”
>He’s already gone…
>”Fluttershy, dear?” You hear your mother calling you from inside the house, but you’re still wondering, what happened?
--------
>You're Anon
>And finally you've arrived at what it will be your new home from here on
>An apartment complex, each small apartment have 2 rooms, kitchen, bathroom and a small living room.
>Nothing fancy, but hey, you don't need that much
>You sigh
>The moving truck was supposed to arrive tomorrow morning
>There's only a small plastic table in the living room, and a small bed in one room
>You hated lying to Fluttershy, but right now you just wanted to be back at your new home
>You pull out your phone and opened the WhatsAppDoc
>You were supposed to message your mother when you actually arrived to the house
>"Hey mom, finally here" SENT
>...
>"I was getting worried, i thought Fluttershy might worked you up pretty bad"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuMElUay5Hk [Embed]
>...You can't help but smile, she knew all along
>"About that mom...thanks it was really nice to see her again"
>...
>"Fluttershy and?"
>"Just Flutters... and no one else"
>...
>"Honey, we've talked about this"
>Oh boy, here it comes again
>"You have to talk to them sooner or later"
>"Better the latter, mom" you frown
>You love your cousin, but the less you see her family, the better, for everyone's sake
>There's an unholy silence for the lnext 5 minutes
>Mom sent you another message
>"When's the exam?"
>"the next month" you reply
>...
>"Be strong son, Do what you have to to be happy"
>Mom...
>"I don't wish you luck son, i wish you success, good night, and say hi to Fluttershy"
>With that last message your mother disconnects
>You sigh, and star to unpack all the stuff in your backpack
>A few clothes, personal hygiene articles...
>Another message arrives
>Its Fluttershy
>"Hello Anon? °^°" You read "Are you home yet?"
>You usually hate emoticons, but you can always give your cousin a pass"
>"Heya Flutters! Safe and sound!"
>"Thank goodness! oh btw, you forgot your shiRt "
>Huh, you almost forgot about that, no wonder why you feel so chilly
>"Is okay Flutters, you can give it back later"
>You think, maybe a little joke would light the mood, at least for you
>"That or you can keep it as a memento for reuniting us again"
>...
>"Oh my >w<" That seems to do the trick
>"Gotta go to sleep" you write "Sleep tight, Flutters"
>"Good night Anon"
>You drop on the bed... a little stiff, but hey, it's only one night you'll have to endure it
>As you slowly drift away into the unconciousness your mother's message comes back to your mind
>"Sooner or later"
>You scoff, slowly closing your eyes and finally rest, for tomorrow will be another day
