It was 4:02 a.m. finally after resisting and fighting with Fluttershy for 3 hours yellow Pegasus got tired and peacefully doze off on the bed. Alex was completely wasted, he was tired both physically and mentally, he couldn’t think quite straight, but he knew one thing, he has to go to sleep. He looked around his room and quickly decided that his bed is the most comfortable thing here, he laid down on it, and when Fluttershy started to cuddle with him, even though she was asleep, he just accepted it, he didn’t have any more strength in his body, even if he had his current mental state wouldn’t let him reject her, right now he was thinking with his heart, and his heart told him to accept her.

He didn’t get much sleep, he woke up and looked at the watch on one of his shelves, it said 7:12 a.m., he wanted to stand up and go to toilet but he soon realized that he’s still held by Fluttershy’s embrace. He tried getting her hoofs of him without waking her up but it failed, he gave up and positioned himself as comfortable as possible.

Waiting for Fluttershy to wake up, Alex recalled events from last night, he remembered how this usually shy Pegasus was trying to seduce him, visualizing his memories from yesterday, and realizing that she’s sleeping while cuddling with him, he started to blush.

Fluttershy woke up after 30 minutes, she slowly opened her eyes which were immediately greeted by Alex’s gaze. She looked into his eyes for few moments, realizing position they are in red color took over her muzzle, and she immediately let go of him jumping away, she looked at him in confusion, then she remembered what happened last night, well most of it.

She tried to hide her muzzle behind mane but to no avail.
“I’m, I’m sorry, I don’t know why I acted like this, it must have been alcohol.” Fluttershy apologized while feeling a wave of pain flowing through her head, she then felt sick.

“What, what’s happening? My head hurts and my stomach is spinning.”

Alex concealed his embarrassment and with a stoic expression he said.

“You never had hangover before?” Fluttershy nodded while holding her temples, pain and discomfort written all over her muzzle. Alex sighed, it was just like that one time when Thomas mixed beer with vodka and whisky, he was taking care of him next morning.

“Ok Fluttershy, wait here it’s Monday so my parents will soon go to work but they’re probably still here so I’ll get you some water and medicine, just be as quiet as possible ok?”

Fluttershy who was right now feeling a mix of embarrassment, confusion and pain, latter one coming from her hangover.

Alex slowly opened door and went towards his kitchen, he opened fridge in search for the medicine, he then heard footsteps coming from living room, very soon he saw his father coming into kitchen.

“Morning.” His father said

“Hey.”

“Soo, how was your night?”

“Good thank you.”

“You sure? Cause you know, normally when you sleep I don’t hear wrestling noises from your room.”

Alex’s eyes went wide and he immediately looked at his father who now had a cocky grin on his face.

“Did you use protection?”

“DAD.”

“Hey, don’t worry I won’t tell mother, just make sure to be quieter next time.”

Alex wanted to object somehow, but he couldn’t find any excuse that would make sense, and he couldn’t tell him the truth, so blushing hard he just nodded and continued his search for medicine, after he found it he made sure his father didn’t see him putting it in his pocket, he then took small water bottle and went towards his room.

“ALEX YOU HAVE CONDOMS? CAUSE I CAN BORROW YOU SOME.”

“SHUT UP.”

Alex walked inside his room slamming the doors behind him still hearing his father laughing.

“What happened” Fluttershy asked, startled a little bit by his actions.

“Nothing it’s just my stupid father, so Flutters here’s medicine, and there’s your water, trust me it will help you.”

Fluttershy nodded and swallowed pill while sipping on water. She then sat down on her haunches.

“Hey Fluttershy, did you tell others that you are going to visit me yesterday? Cause I doubt that.”

Fluttershy stared at him with guilt in her eyes, he sighed and took out his phone to call Thomas. After few moments he finally heard his friends voice in the phone.

“Hey Thomas, I just wanted to tell you that… dude who’s shouting and swearing?”

“Oh it’s just Rainbow, I’ll tell you later.”

“All right, so Thomas I just wanted to call you and tell you that Fluttershy came to my house yesterday night completely drunk, but she’s safe and sound now so don’t worry.”

“She did? I didn’t even know she went missing, huh who knew, Hey Rainbow calm down and stop swearing, kids might learn that from you.”

Alex was now confused when he suddenly heard more shouting and then he could swear he heard someone get punched.

“Hey Thomas you ok? What kids?”

“Dude I’ll tell you later, I have to fight for survival now, see ya, Rainbow, where the hell did you get that frying pan from? RAINBOW CALM DOWN.”

*CLICK*

Alex looked at his phone in utter confusion, he decided to leave this for later and turned towards Fluttershy.

“Hey Flutters you all right?”

“Yes, I’m a little bit better thank you.”

Alex knew she was lying, something was bothering her and it probably wasn’t hangover. He slowly walked up to her and sat in front of her to be on her eye level.

“Fluttershy, tell me what’s the problem? I can help you but I won’t be able to if you won’t tell me.”

Fluttershy trembled a little, she lifter her muzzle and looked at Alex, her eyes were watery.

When Alex saw her like that he instinctively hugged her trying to comfort her somehow, she was surprised at first but quickly accepted his help and hugged back.

After some moments of sitting there in a silence Fluttershy finally spoke.

“I’m scared.”

Alex was relieved she decided to share her fears, he chose to stay quiet for now and just listen.

“We have been for a week already, I’m so scared that we might never be able to come back, what will happen to my animals? They are home without me, they must be waiting for me, what if nopony will feed them? Or something bad will happen while I’m not there? I would never forgive myself.”

Alex’s eyes started to get watery, he didn’t know why but he could feel her feelings in those words, they were full of sadness.

“What if we will have to stay here forever? What will I do then?”

“If you will have to stay here forever, I’ll always protect you.” Alex said without even thinking about it.

Fluttershy’s ears perked up and she looked at Alex, their eyes met and they just stayed like that.

They were sitting in each other embrace looking into each other eyes for few minutes, which felt like hours for them, they both didn’t understood what happened next.

They met less then week ago, they talked a lot since then and many things happened, but still what happened next wasn’t expected by neither of them.

They started to lean into each other, distance between their mouths was slowly decreasing, they could now feel each other heavy breaths. They didn’t think about what was happening, they just acted.

Finally, after what felt like eternity their lips touched, they closed their eyes and let themselves sank into this moment. All Fluttershy’s fears were being cleansed one after another, she felt safe in his arms.

They broke their kiss and stared into each other eyes, there was not even a small sign of the previous sadness and doubts, only hope for the future and joy for the present. This moment was perfect for both of them, Fluttershy even forgot about her hangover.

But everything is ending sooner or later.

“Hey Alex I’m going to grocery shop, do you and your girlfriend want anything to…..”

Alex’s father stood in the doors looking at Fluttershy and his son hugging each other on the floor.

“Alex, you, and and a horse I, we, oh shit.” His face became pale and he fainted falling on the floor with a loud thud.

Alex and Fluttershy both stared at him their face becoming white, Alex thought that at least nothing worse can happen.

He quickly regretted it.

“Hunny what was that noise did something…” Alex’s mother went into his room, she saw her husband lying on the floor and then looked up at Alex and Fluttershy, she then smoothly fall on the floor with a hand on her forehead and fainted.

Alex looked at Fluttershy and after few moments said

“This, might be a problem.”
