It was a warm summer night in Canterlot, the night of the Summer Sun Celebration, if it weren’t three in the morning, ponies would surely be out enjoying it, partying and drinking like there’s no tomorrow. As this had already happened not three hours earlier, the only ponies still not in their beds at home fell into two categories:

Drunkards, and bat ponies.

Or, if you’re Reddling Rain, both.

The red bat pony wandered down the street, accompanied by his work associate, Ether. The two’s skrees and giggles echoed through the dark-lit streets of Canterlot, their voices laced with drunken stupor.

Classically, bat ponies lead a lonely life, never forming close enough relationships with others to be in love, or produce offspring out of anything but nessisity. For Reddling and Ether, this holds very true, but those with a need always seem to make it happen, in this city, and these two need kinship.

Even if they don’t know it.

The pair stumbled up to Reddling’s front door, his mouth fumbling with his keys as he tried to focus on the dark handle, his vision losing focus every now and then.

“W-Wisthen, I’m jwust sayin’, if it were meh, I’d have punched the Tirek fweak right in the face!” He said, his voice impeded both by the key in his mouth and by the alcohol that just got them kicked out of a bar.

“Y-You? Y-You can’t even open your front door!” Slurred the purple mare next to him as she took the key and effortlessly opened the door, causing Red to fall into the house, “Swee! I told you I was l-less dwunk!” She said, before breaking out in a fit of laughs and giggles with her friend, falling beside him.

As they both calmed down, Red looked over at the mare, shakily getting to his hooves and helping her up. Somehow, despite their increasing levels of drunkenness, they both managed to stumble upstairs and into the master bedroom.

They both collapsed onto the bed, looking into each other’s eyes with lust, “Y-You know, you’re pretty buckin’ hot when you’re not sh-shouting in a courtroom~” He said, his light blush from the drinks turning to one of embarrassment.

“Y-You’re not too shabby yourself when I c-can actually see you out of your ugly armor~” She replied, forming her own blush.

“H-Hey, that armor’s cool!~”

“S-So under that dark brooding exterior you put up all the time, you’re s-still a typical stallion, huh?” She teased, pushing him onto his back with a hoof and climbing onto his chest, licking her lips as she stared down at him.

“Shut up~” Red said, before wrapping his hooves around her neck and pulling her towards him passionately…

Author's Notes:

Been a while since I wrote a fic, so I'm a little rusty (lets face it I was never not rusty).

Reddling and Ether both belong to Reddling Rain, if you haven't read where they come from, I suggest you do!
Looking for editors/proofreaders so Reddling doesn't have to do it :3
