>The wind blows a plastic bag through the middle of the sleeping town
>It is a warm night and the fireflies dance around in the air
>The moon casts it's beautiful glow across the land as the chirping of crickets echos throughout the fields
>The stars light up the sky in a wonderful display set up magnificently by the Princess of the night
>You don't question their magic, you accept it
>You sit on the bench in the park, your home
>The ponies didn't have an actual home for you and when they offered to let you stay with them you declined
>You wouldn't want to be a burden on these happy folk
>They just seem so accepting of their lives and you wouldn't want to tarnish anything by getting in the way
>They were confused, but eventually have gotten used to it
>You rise to a standing position and begin walking to the lake
>It's the most relaxing place you've ever seen
>Sitting on the edge of the dock, you dip your feet in the perfect temperature water
>You've long since lost your shoes and socks
>But you don't want to be any kind of stress for the nice ponies that live here
>The only mare that is not happy with the selfless way your mind thinks is Fluttershy
>She likes you a lot, but doesn't show it in the brightest ways
>Like tackling you and trying to make you forcibly love her
>Good thing Twilight was there to get her off of you
>You wouldn't have been able to do anything against her
>You really don't want to alter their lives with your presence here
>This is how you were back home too
>Some people called you lazy for not getting a job or learning to drive
>Others called you a faggot for being passive and peaceful during any situation
>They just don't understand how you feel
>As you look down at your reflection, a single tear drop ripples the water
>You just...don't want the world to bear your weight
>So you stay out of it's way
>The light flap of wings is heard
>A hoof touches your shoulder
>You look to your left and see Fluttershy herself
>"Hello Anon...it's a nice night isn't it?"
>You gaze into her warm teal eyes and she smiles back at you
Yes it is. Why have you come here?
>"I just wanted to check on you. Why won't you come live with me? I take care of tons of animals, so you wouldn't be any more of a burden."
>You sigh and look to the mountains on the horizon
Fluttershy...I don't want to bring you stress.
>"I promise Anon, you won't be any stress for me. In fact...you bring me relaxation. Just being around you makes me feel all nice inside."
>You look to her
>She has tears streaming down her face
>"But if this is what you truly want, to live and die alone, then so be it. Just know...that I love you."
>Then she stands and begins to walk away
>Wait Anon...this isn't right...if she truly loves you then you should give her a chance
>Standing up you walk over to her and put a hand on her side
Fluttershy...okay. I want to be with you.
>She wipes away some tears and stares up at you happily
>"Y-You mean it?"
Of course.
>She squeaks with joy and then grabs your hand with her hoof
>You both walk in silence just admiring the serene sounds of nature
>The door to her cottage opens with a loud creaking sound and she leads you up to her bed
>You get in with her and feel something you haven't felt for the longest time
>It isn't the warmth that wraps your body in the form of a blanket
>Nor is it the tickling sensation you feel on your skin from Fluttershy's body snuggling yours
>No...it's
>Love
