Awakening
Warm light poured in through the single window, reflecting into the kitchen and glaring like a spotlight on the floor, as if searching for the small and remote cottage's occupants. Beneath the small table laid two ponies, a pegasus mare tightly nestled against the chest of a unicorn stallion. They laid comfortably beneath one blanket, sharing a pillow as well.
King Sombra felt strange. He did not want to wake her, as he would not so easily be allowed to look at her soft features and touch her mane. Fluttershy's breath bounced off of his neck, lapping in and out like the tides. She had fallen asleep facing him. She had her hoof draped comfortably over his shoulders, a small smile across her sleeping face. The king had woken moments before, the sight of the mare's sleeping body reliving him. King Sombra had feared that his company may not have been enough to ward off Fluttershy's fear of lightening storms, but his eyes told him that his initial opinion was wrong. She scooted closer to him, still sleeping. The king blushed slightly, her forehead pressed against his, Fluttershy's lips not an inch from his own, their noses touching cutely as she moaned in comfort from the new position.
He stayed like this for what felt like a long time, letting her snuggle against him. King Sombra embraced her back, experimenting with the softness of his touch to see which means of cradling her figure elicited the most comfortable moans. "Wow." He whispered to himself, looking into her sleeping eyes. He reached out and kissed her cheek, pulling away promptly as his mind washed with regret and pleasure. He settled into the warm bath of emotion, wondering how she might react if he tried something similar while she was awake.
Fluttershy stirred not seconds later, her hooves scanning his back as if to understand what she were wrapped around. Her eyes revealed only his grey coat, the mare looking up to see his tired and happy face looking down to her. "Good morning." He purred sweetly, looking confidently into her eyes. "Oh... good morning." She replied quietly, slowly moving away from him, a deep blush on her cheeks. "I-I'm sorry about... well..." He chuckled, sitting up slightly. "Don't worry, I'll make breakfast." He offered, the mare nodding her head appreciatively. "O-Oh, thank you." He stood up, tossing the blanket off of himself, leaving her to wallow in the warmth of where his large figure once was.
She stood, informing King Sombra that she was going to wash up, pointing to her disheveled mane as proof. King Sombra nodded without having heard a word she said, going about cooking as his mind continued to experience a whirling fire of confusion and desire. Fluttershy trotted upstairs, alone. After placing his tray in the oven, the grey stallion stood by himself, looking around for something to busy his hooves. He folded the blanket they had used, putting it aside for a wash. With the pillow on his back, he trotted back to Fluttershy's bedroom so he could return it to the bed top.
He stopped at the door, looking in at the sight of Fluttershy inspecting her flanks shyly in the mirror, looking over her shoulder, cocking her head from side to side to see how she looked. A brush for her mane was not far away. "Fluttershy?" He asked quietly, the mare jumping back, spreading her wings and falling on the floor, a stack of bedsheets falling on top of her. The pegasus mare surfaced from the pile, fidgeting with her hooves worriedly. "I was just..." She paused, unsure how to defend what he had seen. The king smirked, tossing the pillow on his back toward the bed. He extended a hoof, helping her up from the pile of clean white sheets. "Come, let's fold these back up." He spoke softly, Fluttershy finding comfort in his tone as they went about their work. As they came together in the middle to fold the large rectangle in half, their hooves touched. She gasped, unable to move away or closer to him. "There is no need to inspect yourself so tediously in the mirror, your very beautiful. A princess in your own right." Fluttershy blushed fiercely, her bangs falling over her eyes as she looked away from his red eyes, she staring down at the floor. "Thank you." She replied quietly, barely even speaking but merely moving her lips. They ate breakfast in near silence.
Later that same day, Fluttershy found herself spreading a red and white blanket on the grass, wanting to treat the stallion to a picnic for his kindness and surprisingly calm way of speaking to her. Once she had spread the blanket and retrieved the basket, she returned to her cottage and called for him in her song like voice. "Yes?" He asked, stepping away from the wash bucket he had been attending to. The stallion peeked outside, seeing what she had set up for the two of them. "How kind of you." He said playfully, Fluttershy giggling in response. They snacked, a question brewing in her mind. "Sombra, why do you and the princess not get along?" He chuckled, setting down his small sandwich as he laid there, looking back at the petite mare. "If only things were so simple... it is not that I do not like her, Princess Celestia simply... she treats me differently than I should be." He stopped, running a hoof through his mane nervously. "I'm sure you've heard of me as... cruel... everything I did seemed like a good idea at the time. Everything else was... exaggerated. I kept no slaves, the crystal ponies were free to do as they pleased. I failed though, I failed everypony..." He paused again, laying on his back and sighing deeply. "I am a relic of the past, I do not belong in this... modern Equestria." He whispered to himself, full of self-loathing and disbelief at what had happened to him. "I think you're very sweet... and handsome." She replied, drawing his attention quickly. He smiled at her, saying nothing further, his look explaining how he felt. Fluttershy cooed, reaching over and hugging the stallion as tears dripped from his eyes. "It's okay, it's okay, you're here now." She spoke to him, rubbing his back supportively as he squeezed her against him, nestling his face in her bosom and trying to find his composure to no avail as he silently wept in her hooves. "Thank you." He said to her quietly, Fluttershy hearing him as they stayed together, a kind of support many would say the king did not deserve.
King Sombra found himself inside on the couch he had first arrived on, sitting back and falling into a half nap. As he slept, Fluttershy found by the door to her home his armor and cape, the sight of them filling her with wonder. She saw him sleeping, and decided to try them on. "For just one moment." She told herself. Awakened by the clunking sound of large and heavy armor on a small and frail mare, he saw a familiar face in the cottage, walking around with a red velvet cape around her neck. King Sombra smiled cutely, Fluttershy stopping and facing him. "I can explain." She stated quickly, speaking as if all of her words were one. He chuckled, checking her out. "My cape is too big for you." He added, circling her. "And you need this." He took off his black crown, setting it on her head. She was too small for it, so her ears were forced out to the side to hold it up. He chuckled, pulling her under his hoof. "Not that I'll be needing it anymore." She smiled, looking devious in his attire. "It feels funny." He nodded, looking at her nicely. "It is a funny sort of thing." He took his cape from her back, putting it on himself, also reclaiming his crown. "It looks better on you." She said, blushing. Fluttershy was happy that he hadn't judged her for playing dress-up in his cape, and he was happy she wanted to do something like that. "Come here!" He shouted, wrapping her up in his cape and hugging her. Fluttershy giggled, struggling playfully to escape the blanket of his cape and the warmth of his body.
Their noses rubbed together, the mare blushing and pulling away from his touch. He spun her around, the mare allowing the king to do as he pleased. He nipped at her ears playfully, his sharp fangs grazing over her soft ears. Fluttershy giggled, smiling as he squeezed her inside of his cape. He kissed her forehead, letting go as he trotted outside, perusing her many animals and walking around as she dealt with the fallout from their romantic encounter. "O my, he's in a good mood." Fluttershy whispered, smiling goofily as she sat down on the floor, wrapping herself up in her wings and twirling her pink mane around her hoof. She gasped, slapping her hooves to her cheeks as her aqua eyes flushed with worry. "What if he likes me?!" She smiled, blushing again. "What if I like him?!" She whispered, going back to playing with her mane and smiling goofily, dreaming of what her life would be like as a queen.
