“C’mon, Buck… This is no time ta start freakin out…”

The yellow stallion had to try and control his breathing, not wanting to appear too frazzled while he waited in the living room. He could hear Spike getting ready in their bedroom, which was now much more audible due to how much the bed springs were creaking. On any other night, Buck would’ve been absolutely giddy with excitement at the thought of what the drake might have planned. But ever since the dragon changed into such a large… dominant-lookingbeast, Apple Buck could barely function without overthinking everything in worry.

If there was any saving grace, Apple Buck knew in his heart that he still loved Spike more than anything else, even after he hit that growth spurt. If anything, that was the one thing that helped him stay sane and keep from doing anything stupid. Unfortunately, it seemed that with each day he spent seeing Spike in his new body, his internal apprehensions only grew more significant. Even now, when he and Spike were about to have sex for the first time after his change, all that Buck could dwell on is how he could perform while the dragon was like... that. Since a large portion of their sex-life revolved over their roles in bed, the fact that his tiny-dicked drake now had a tool bigger than his own was a hard thing to fully process.

Granted, sex wasn’t the only reason Apple Buck was so freaked-out over the past week. Even outside the bedroom, the stallion always felt like the larger and more dominant figure in comparison to Spike. Since the dragon was always such a small and feeble-looking guy, Buck almost felt like a protector for him (although in retrospect, Spike’s fire breath would probably scare off anyone without his fiancè’s help). But now that the dragon was at a much more intimidating size, Buck wasn’t sure how to label himself beside him. Could he still call himself Spike’s “protector?”

Could he even call himself his “Dom” anymore?

Just as Buck shuddered uncomfortably at that intrusive thought, he heard Spike’s sing-song voice through the bedroom door. “Oh, Buuuuuuckkk… I’m almost ready, babe~ You better be too…”

After closing his eyes in an attempt to quell his anxieties, Apple Buck breathed put pertly and replied, “S-Sure thing, Sugar Cube! Heh heh heh…”

The pony then cringed a little in silence, feeling so weird for calling Spike that name now. He knew that the drake loved it, but it felt so different to say it for how he looked now. He had seen how elated his fiancè was for having grown up so noticeably, and the last thing he wanted to do was damper Spike’s mood with his own feelings on the matter. However, as he saw how drastically other ponies have changed their outlooks on the drake, Buck had to wonder if their opinions have changed on him as well.

If he wasn’t the bigger stallion in the relationship, then what was he? Was Spike the Dom now? Was he going to be calling the shots from now on? If Prince Cinder’s analysis for Spike’s growth spurt was correct, did that mean his fiancè was just a hoarding item like a golden chalice or pearl necklace? And if he was… how important could he really be in Spike’s eyes now?

“Am… Am Ah still important?”

Apple Buck groaned and gritted his teeth in self-loathing after muttering such a thing to himself. He knew how stupid it was to be feeling so insecure on the matter, but that self-awareness only made his frustrations dig even deeper inside of him. After spending so much time with Spike the way he used to be, he hadn’t realized until now how much he connected himself with him in that way. But now with the dragon at his current size, the stallion felt like he was starting from scratch; and with that, he was forced to question what kind of fiancè he needed to be for him.

“Alriiiiiiighttt~” Spike’s voice was just enough to temporarily break Buck from his troubled thoughts, and the stallion’s ears perked up as he heard him say, “I’m ready for you, Master~”

Buck’s heart was racing, but he wasn’t sure if it was from excitement or apprehension. Fortunately, his stallionhood was already growing underneath his jeans as he made his way towards the bedroom. He wanted to think that his body was smarter than his brain, but that wouldn’t explain why his heart felt so heavy from the new Spike calling him ‘Master.’ He wanted to ignore how weirded-out he felt, but his hoof still shivered in discomfort as he reached for the doorknob. However, despite his conflicting feelings, arousal seemed to win out for the moment as he walked in and saw Spike on the bed.

At his new size, the drake was sprawled out across most of the Queen-sized bed himself. But while his fiancè was still wearing his plaid shirt and tightening jeans, Spike was now donning a new getup courtesy of Scootaroll and Silver Bell. A black, faux leather harness was tightly secure over his thin chest with a metal ring in the middle. The dragon also had a pair of blinders wrapped around the sides of his head, keeping him from seeing anything that wasn’t directly in front of his blushing face. And wrapped around his waist was an especially tight pair of briefs, which had a matching black color that did nothing to hide how massive his throbbing bulge looked.

Buck’s face was almost as red as his mane, and his widened eyes were glued directly to that dragon crotch as he gulped nervously. Spike ended up giggling a little while smiling wide back at him. “I know, right? I had to stare at myself in the mirror for a while~”

The drake then closed his eyes, and groaned with a bit lip as one of his claws traveled down his chest slowly. It rested right on top of his hefty bulge, before he rubbed it with a deep shuddering growl. “Nnnnnnghhhh… Oh, Buck… I can’t believe we haven’t had any fun in so long~”

Buck closed his eyes so he could breathe out in a calm manner, and he tried to focus on removing his clothes as he replied. “W-Well, uhhh… we definitely had a lot to do this week. Ah mean… Ah’m prety sure you were more wiped-out from all those parties than Ah was…”

“Mmmnnnghhh… Y-Yeah, that’s true,” muttered the dragon while continuing to rub himself, not being able to resist how amazing his new equipment felt. Even though he and Buck were indeed overwhelmed by all the celebrations and planning they had to do since their engagement (as well as all the fittings he did himself for new clothes), Spike had probably masturbated about a hundred times whenever he had the chance. He wanted to feel guilty about doing that behind Buck’s back, but he was sure he’d understand; heck, if he went from getting a little nub to the cock he had now, he’d probably run to the bathroom every twenty minutes too. However, since the stallion was here now, the dragon was able to pull his claw away for the moment and reopen his eyes sultrily. “B-But still… I really missed having my Master around~”

There was that word again, causing the stallion to shudder in a way much differently than usual. Instead of the confident grin Buck usually carried for his sub, his muzzle grew into a much weaker and shakier-looking smile in response. “Uhhh… Y-Yeah,” he replied in a more sheepish tone, not that the drake seemed to notice from the way he squirmed with a grin on the bed. Meanwhile, the stallion had to take another breath while walking up towards him half-heartedly. “You… You’ve been keepin’ me alone for a while, little drake. Nnnphh… Ah mean… Y-You’ve just been keepin’ me lonely…”

Spike was too preoccupied with his own pleasure to hear how uneasy his Dom’s voice sounded, and only writhed in arousal with his eyes closed. “Aaaahhhhh… I know, Master~ I… I’m sorry for not tending to you as much as a pet should. I… I hope you can understand~”

“Well of course Ah get it--Ah mean, shit,” he muttered with a shake of his head, needing to remind himself to stay in character. “A-Ah mean… Welllll, Ah could forgive ya, b-but ummm… But Ah… want ya to prove how sorry you are~”

Apple Buck kicked his pants and underwear off his rear hooves as soon as his forelegs braced onto the mattress beside Spike. Now fully naked, the pony tried to keep a lustrous stare on his fiancè while looming over him. For a moment, the scene almost felt familiar enough to make Buck smile more naturally. Fortunately, that was the smile Spike saw the instant he reopened his eyes to glance up at him. After smiling back with a bitten lip and a deep blush, the drake shivered in anticipation and replied. “H… How can I prove it to you, Master?~”

While looking at Spike’s cute little face alone, Buck chuckled a little more comfortably and motioned down to his twitching stallionhood. “Whad’ya think?~”

The drake grinned especially wide, inadvertently exposing the huge fangs that spread across his long muzzle. Buck tensed up in a bout of panic the instant he saw that maw up close, and it took everything in him not to gasp too audibly. Spike may have had fangs before, but they were about as dangerous as a butterknife when he gave Buck oral. But now, the dragon’s teeth looked terrifying enough to risk making him turn soft in an instant. His pupils shrunk in legitimate fear as he tried to speak up. “Uhhhhhh… O-Or maybe we--OOMPH!”

Like an overexcited tiger with the mind of a kitten, Spike pounced onto Buck to send them both crashing to the floor. The stallion fell on his back and winced uncomfortably, and Spike gasped as he realized what he did. “Ohmigosh, I’m sorry!” he said in a panicked voice with his claws over his mouth. While Buck rubbed the back of his head with a hoof, the dragon had his lips pursed while pondering what to do. Since the pony’s cock was still mostly-erect, his fiancè took a breath with his eyes closed to get back in focus. “Okay, ummm… I-I’ll help you master!”

He then dove down to get his head between Buck’s legs, not realizing how much he looked like a monster about to eat the pony hooves-first. As the stallion let out a strong whimper, Spike opened his maw scarily wide to let his reptilian tongue slip out. Back when he was a little drake, that tongue was about as thin and pleasing as a silk rope, and just as flexible when it came to wrapping around somepony’s cock. But now, that muscle was about as thick as a snake’s body, and felt equally as slimy to Apple Buck the instant it wrapped around his shaft. He tried to clench his eyes shut to focus on the surprisingly pleasurable feeling, but he couldn’t stop thinking about those teeth being so close to his stallionhood.

The moment he re-opened his eyes, all he saw was a massive dragon about to move in with that fanged, drooling maw inching in towards his member. Buck gasped like he was about to have a heart attack, feeling utterly helpless with Spike over him like this. Just as his muzzle was just inches from his cock, the pony blurted out, “L-L-LET ME SUCK YOU OFF!”

Now it was Buck’s turn to cover his mouth as he blushed in surprise at his words. Spike quickly paused before pulling his head back, leaving his tongue lolling out briefly. “Hm?” The dragon blinked a couple times, needing a moment to realize his Dom actually said those words. Ever since he and Apple Buck began dating, he could count the number of times his fiancè gave him oral on a single claw. Heck, most of the time when he did do it, it was just to tease Spike’s former nub with his tongue to emphasize how pointless it’d be to suck him off.

Even with his new body, it only occured to the dragon now that Buck was capable of doing such a thing. And with the added prospect of his fiancè wanting to do it, Spike’s scary grin reappeared rather excitedly to make the stallion flinch. “Oh… My… GOSH!!! Ohmigosh, you COULD!!! You can finally do it, holy CRAP!!! Why didn’t I realize that?!”

Growing too excited to notice the pony’s hesitant-looking expression, the drake quickly hopped back into the bed to make it creak dangerously loud. He laid out by the edge of the mattress and ripped off his briefs, having his massive cock tower before Buck dauntingly. Meanwhile, Spike just looked like an excited kid while trying to stay in Sub-mode. “Ohmigosh, please do it for me! Please Master, please!!~ Pleeeeeassse, pleasepleaseplease I want it so much…~”

Apple Buck huffed with a weak smile, looking a little better at seeing the dragon’s familiar-looking excitement. Since this technically was the first time Spike was capable of receiving a proper blowjob, the stallion couldn’t blame his fiancè one bit for his giddiness. However, it dawned on Buck rather quickly that this was a pretty big first for himself as well. The drake’s cock used to be too small to receive any good oral, so that meant the pony never had much experience giving them until now. He gulped worriedly as he saw that veiny beast standing before him, knowing this was gonna be one hell of a tricky appendage to learn on.

Alas, the stallion took a breath before getting back on his hooves, knowing he couldn’t back down now. Despite how hesitant he felt about actually sucking that massive thing, he couldn’t think to deny his mate when he looked so elated about it. Besides, after all the times he rimmed the little dragon with no issue, he’d be a gigantic hypocrite if he were to deny this. However, the instant he knelt down between Spike’s outstretched legs, his head reeled back for a moment as he caught the surprisingly strong smell of his fiancè’s precum. He blinked a couple times while wide-eyed, not wanting to even fathom how potent Spike’s actual cum was.

Fortunately, the smell wasn’t particularly bad or anything; in fact, Buck had to admit it was something he could probably get used to. In fact, Buck was sure he probably would’ve sucked Spike off a lot sooner if his cock was a little bit bigger before. But since he was still a bit unnerved by how jarring all of this felt, he had to close his eyes in order to get in the right mood. While Spike shivered as he laid back in anticipation, Buck took a deep breath before going in with his muzzle wide-open. His tongue lolled out before dragging up the underside of the dragon’s shaft, eliciting a strong shuddering growl from Spike in instant approval.“NNNNGGHHHHHH… Ooooohhhhhh~”

Apple Buck’s muzzle wrinkled up tightly from that reaction, feeling like he was doing something dangerous from how primal that sounded. Spike may have still looked rather Subby from how blushed his antsy smile became, but Buck could only hear that animalistic growl that made him think otherwise. With the strong scent of musk flooding his nostrils, and the taste of the drake’s drooling pre practically burning his tongue, the pony didn’t feel like a Dom at all while tentatively licking that meaty shaft. While he couldn’t say he hated what he was doing, this change in position felt completely out of his comfort zone. Nevertheless, the instant he felt Spike’s claws rest down on his shoulders instinctively, a strong shudder crept through Buck’s spine as he realized how differently things have changed.

“Ohhhhh… Oh, Buck~” Spike’s breaths turned rapidly faint at the feel of his Master’s tongue teasing his throbbing member so delicately, causing him to bite his bottom lip hard enough to risk drawing blood. “Ahhhh! P-Please, Master… K… Keep going~”

“Mmmmph…” The stallion pressed his face in closer to that rigid cock, making his muzzle wrinkle even more from that hot flesh hitting his snout. You… You shouldn’t stop, Buck, he thought to himself as his eyes clenched even tighter. It’s really not that bad, okay? It might be new, but it’s still pretty hot. Ah mean… gettin’ a bukkake would be pretty buckin’ awesome~

Despite how uneasy he felt in such a new position, Spike’s growls in elation (as well as his own erection remaining rock-hard) prompted him to continue with this change. He tried to focus on what he could do in this position, feeling rather enticed at the prospect of giving this dragon cock some attention before Silver Bell could. After taking another deep breath to get used to the musk, Apple Buck swallowed his pride (and a good portion of Spike’s pre) before wrapping his lips around that thick cockhead. You love him, Buck. And he loves you. And… And this is what he wants now. If he can change, then… then so can you…

With that mindset running through his head, Buck grew more determined to prove his worth. If the new Spike wanted a blowjob, then his fiancè was gonna be damned if he couldn’t give him one. While one of his hooves came up to grasp the bottom half of the dragon’s cock, his other rested on top of one of Spike’s claws while suckling his cockhead sweetly. He may have not had much experience giving oral, but he knew to keep his lips wrapped around his teeth to avoid any discomfort for his fiancè. He whimpered a little from how much of that slimy pre he felt oozing into his mouth (as well as that overpowering bitter-sweet flavor), but he wasn’t as disgusted as he would’ve expected. In the minute or two that Spike spent moaning and holding his stallion tight, Buck eventually got into a better rhythm while sucking on that hefty cockmeat crammed into his blushing maw.

“Oh, Buck!~” Spike’s claws grasped Apple Buck’s shoulders even tighter as he felt his cock throbbing hard in his Dom’s mouth. “Ahhh… You… You’re so good to me, Master…”

Does he have’ta keep callin’ me that? thought Buck as he grimaced in a brief bout of self-consciousness. He knew he was a good Dom to Spike before, but it definitely didn’t feel like the case now. Alas, since he was able to enjoy sucking that cock enough to even moan a little between breaths, he was able to focus on Spike’s enjoyment of it as well. The feeling of those thick veins gracing across his lips, and that uniquely savory taste of dragon pre lingering in his mouth, actually started to grow on him after a while. Of course, as he felt the dragon’s claws tighten around his shoulders, Buck was feeling less like a Dom with each passing moment. Even when he was being called Master by Spike between moans, the pony felt like he should’ve been the one saying it up to him. Maybe… maybe that’s for the best…

That last thought made Buck feel especially uncomfortable, but his own arousal from Spike’s moans prompted him to at least try. After taking a deep breath through his nostrils, Apple Buck tried to push his muzzle in even deeper around Spike’s cock. His jaw almost locked-open from how wide it got, but he only replied with a strained grunt while grabbing both of his fiancè’s claws with his hooves. As his eyes tightened in apprehension, he pulled the dragon’s claws up to rest on top of his head, emulating what he used to do with Spike before his change.

“Ahhhh… Uhhh… W-What the…” Spike felt like he was in pure bliss while receiving his first blowjob, not blaming his Master for a second for requesting it from him so often. However, feeling the stallion moving his claws to his mane so insistently felt a little… off. It was still technically dominant, but it wasn’t something Buck ever really tried before. Of course, the drake’s confusion only lasted briefly in thought, and he passed it off as a part of this occasion.

Unfortunately, the drake’s confusion came back as he heard a small grunt of insistence from Buck as he continued to suck him off diligently. His hooves pressed down on top of his claws even more, silently prompting him to go harder. Spike blinked a couple times while in his aroused state, unsure how to move forward. However, he was eventually able to reply while his muzzle skewed worriedly. “Uhhh… D-Do you… want this?”

His digits dug in a little into Apple Buck’s mane, undoubtedly pulling it a little more painfully than Spike would’ve preferred. A deep, and shaky groan escaped Buck’s stuffed mouth, which kinda sounded like an approving response. Hopeful that he was right, the dragon pursed his lips in uncertainty before pulling on his Master’s head, shoving another half-inch of his cock into the pony’s muzzle. A stronger grunt escaped Buck’s nostrils, clearly having some difficulties; however, he tried to stay tenacious while the corners of his eyes were beading.

“B… Buck?” asked Spike in a panted voice that was weak from his horniness, but still carried a clear undertone of caution. “Are… Are you alri--”

“Mmmph!” Despite how strained he looked, Apple Buck tried to nod his head before Spike could finish. Even though the tip of Spike’s massive cockhead was getting dangerously close to triggering his gag reflex, the pony tried to soldier on for his fiancè’s sake. Unfortunately, the instant the drake’s claws tried to push his head down even deeper, the sound of a strong gurgling lurch caused him to let go in worry. Buck was able to pull his head off of Spike’s cock without gagging too badly, but he still coughed repeatedly with a hoof over his mouth. By the time he was able to breathe again, his foreleg was coated in spackles of his saliva and the drake’s precum.

“Sh… Shit!” he hissed bitterly towards himself, hating that he couldn’t even suck a cock properly for Spike’s sake.

“I-It’s alright, Buck,” Spike tried to say with assurance as he looked down at him apprehensively. He was growing worried about what his fiancè was trying to do, but he wasn’t sure whether or not to break character yet. In an effort to keep the stallion from getting too discouraged, Spike huffed with a meager chuckle and added, “It… It happens sometimes at first. Like… remember the first time I tried to suck you off?”

While his head was hung low in shame, Buck was still collecting his breaths as he nodded with a small groan. However, even though he could recall how awkward the drake’s first time giving oral was, Spike was still able to deepthroat due to his biological lack of a gag-reflex.There may have been a few instances of those fangs scratching his cock, but Buck still came pretty damn quickly that first time. But now, the pony couldn’t even return that favor to his fiancè for his first blowjob. He was sure that Spike understood, but that didn’t make his ego feel any less bruised.

“It… It still felt really good,” said the drake in an optimistic tone while trying to lighten Buck’s spirits. “I mean… if you want some pointers or something, I wouldn’t min--NNNPHH!”

Spike’s offer was left unfinished as Apple Buck grabbed the front of Spike’s harness, and pulled him onto his limbs while crawling himself into bed. The stallion’s muzzle was tightened in a bitter mixture of frustration and determination, which didn’t exactly make him look appealing to his worried drake. As soon as Buck was on his hooves in the bed, he lowered himself while pulling Spike in from above. His fiancè needed a second to realize what his “Master” was trying to get him to do, but it became pretty damn clear the instant Buck lifted his tail and propped his rump against that fat dragon cock.

“C… Come on!” groaned the pony with an impeding wince on his face, not able to even look up at Spike’s surprised expression. Buck’s experience giving oral before that night may have been minimal at best, but the pony never bottomed a day in his life. So for the dragon, seeing his fiancè wanting to take his cock was fairly stunning to say the least. Spike wasn’t sure whether to feel more confused or concerned by his Master’s intentions, but he certainly didn’t feel too aroused. Nevertheless, his cock was still rigid enough to prod that tailhole after another strong pull by Buck. “Ah… Ah know you wanna do it, so come on! R… Rut me!”

“Uhhh… M-Master?” asked Spike in a much more concerned tone of voice. Meanwhile, his fiancè didn’t seem to be listening as he gritted his teeth and tried to back up into that daunting appendage. Despite how much saliva and precum was slathered over that cockhead, the pony quickly yelped out in pain from that first stretching he felt from his hole. However, even with how strong that searing pain felt, Apple Buck tried to bite his tongue and soldier on. Meanwhile, Spike’s eyes widened in immense worry as he felt Buck trying to push even harder. “B-Buck! You… You really shouldn’t push your limits like tha--”

“GNNNGH!!” The stallion felt those tears in his eyes beading up again, and they weren’t going away as he felt that burning pain intensifying in his aching hole. He grimaced while trying his hardest not to cry, but Spike’s cock turned out to be much denser than he anticipated. But despite feeling like he was trying to shove a baseball bat up his ass, Buck refused to back down from the challenge. If Spike was gonna be like this from now on, the pony knew he had to provide something to stay important to him; otherwise, all he’d be is a substandard pony for his horde.

Unfortunately, the stallion’s strained groans and whinnies only made Spike more fretful while frozen above him. Since he knew from experience how important it was to train for bottoming, he could tell that Apple Buck was putting himself in a very dangerous situation. He could understand a pony wanting to ride his cock ASAP, but the idea of his fiancè tearing his tailhole was a thought the dragon would never forgive himself for. And just as he bit his lip with a scared expression, Spike gasped the instant he heard Buck tense up and cry in pain. “AHHHH! Oww, Oww, Oww!”

“OKAY, THAT’S IT!” roared the dragon loud enough to make Buck squeak in surprise. “RED LIGHT, RED LIGHT, RED! LIGHT!!”

Spike then took the reins and yanked the pony off of his cock with surprising ease. Buck only managed to cram a couple inches inside of him, but the drake gasped when he saw how gaped that reddened pucker looked underneath his raised tail. Meanwhile, Apple Buck could only grip the bedsheets tightly as he gritted his teeth and groaned from his overwhelming pain and self-loathing. His breathing came out choppy through his teeth, almost like he was struggling not to sob before his future husband. However, he wasn’t sure if he was close to crying from that intense pain, or from his own frustration; instead of being able to provide on the receiving end, all he did was fail miserably and scare Spike enough to make him flaccid.

His face pressed down hard against the bedding to hide his shameful expression, and he tried to focus on his breathing so he wouldn’t start crying. Even though his breaths grew close to sobbing a couple times from how shaky his exhales became, he was eventually able to settle down after a couple minutes. Meanwhile, Spike just sat on the bed with a distraught look on his fiancè, not needing to see any tears to know Buck was hurt really badly. One of his claws carefully rested on top of the pony’s back, rubbing his fur as softly as possible.

“Buck…” Spike took a breath to keep himself stable for the pony’s sake, realizing how scared he sounded with that first word. “Buck, it… it’s alright, honey. I swear, it’s perfectly fine. We… we don’t have to do everything at once, alright? I mean, I know a lot changed, but… but I really don’t want to see you get hurt.”

Buck’s head slowly pulled up from the bedding, and he nodded apprehensively while keeping his face hidden from the drake. Even though he knew Spike was trying to help, he didn’t need to hear that statement to know how much things have changed. Apple Buck always saw himself as the strong and confident lead in the relationship, able to take things in any which way to make himself and Spike happy. But now… now all he felt like was a cracked shell of the Dom he used to be. He stayed silent for a long moment, unable to even open his eyes without showing any more weakness to Spike than he already had.

“Buck?” repeated the dragon as he tried his hardest not to plead for a response. “Buck, do you hear me?”

“Y-Yeah, yeah,” blurted the stallion as he nodded more strongly than before. After taking a deep breath to keep himself settled, he lifted his head a little more and said, “Ah… Ah’m really sorry, Spike. Ah… Ah don’t want ‘cha to get hurt neither…” He then turned around while keeping a guilty frown on his muzzle, and pulled himself into Spike’s embrace for a strong hug. Unlike before, the dragon was clearly the stronger hugger now as he locked his scaled arms around the pony and held him tightly.

“It’s okay, Buck,” Spike repeated once more, not wanting his fiancè to remain so upset about one disappointing session. “We have all the time in the world, and this really isn’t a big deal. We’ll get better, okay?”

“O… Okay…” After another deep, and slightly shakier breath than before, Apple Buck kept his head nestled against Spike’s chest as he said in a sheepish tone, “Ah… Ah promise Ah’ll be better next time…”

Spike blinked a couple times in confusion, unsure what his fiancè meant by that. However, he figured that both of them were too tired to dwell on the meaning of that remark right then and there. After the two held each other for another long moment, not much else was said as they decided to just go to bed. Even when the dragon kissed him tenderly while turning off the light, Buck felt so small and weak as the two settled into bed. Unlike before, Spike was now the bigger spoon as he hugged Buck around his back and held him snug against his chest.

While nestled within the drake’s strong grip, Buck’s muzzle wrinkled in uncertainty as he closed his eyes and tried to snuggle in against him. Ah… Ah guess this is it now, thought the stallion in saddened defeat, unable to even fight how hopeless he felt while settling into an uncomfortable night of restless sleep.
