Author's Notes:

A bridging chapter between the two main points of the Asgard arc. After that, back to the main plot for a while.

Sugar and Spike didn’t exactly know how to process what they saw in front of them. After Chara and Sweetie didn’t come back for a while, the group decided to split up to find the rest of their group. Chara and Sweetie responded to the chat messages, saying they were pulling a prank of their own on their boyfriends, but Micro and Shiro were silent.

That was what led them to standing in the doorway of what they assumed was Shiro’s bedroom, seeing Perl sitting half naked in Shiro’s lap and making out with him.

As Shiro’s hand squeezed her rear a little, she gave a light moan.

“Your hands are magic Shiro,” she said, still not realizing her two best friends were watching.

“Well I am a masseur,” Shiro said, kissing her neck.

“Well, how about you give me a full body massage then?”

“I’d love to,” Shiro said as he looks up at Spike and Sugar. “But I doubt you want our friends to see that.”

“Huh?” Perl questioned as she turned. It took her a few moments as she processed her two best friends staring at her body, clad only in black lace lingerie. “Eek!”

In a flash, not only was the Gamer in question fully clothed and blink teleporting right out the room, but had also reverted back to Micro. Shiro fell back out his bed laughing.

“Your faces!” He cackled. “Oh God all of your faces!”

“Fuck you!” Micro called out. Before Shiro could respond he added. “You know damn well what I meant! I’m off to find Chara and Sweetie.”

Later

Micro was practically grumbling the entire way back to talk to Sleipnir. First, his female form was caught half naked and making out with Shiro by his two best friends. Then, when he found Chara and Sweetie, it turns out they were just messing with Shiro and him.

(What he didn’t know was they actually did make out for a bit but decided to wait to take it any further than that)

Shiro was just laughing next to him.

“You are enjoying this way too much,” Micro said.

“And you didn’t?” Shiro asked. “Admit it, that was funny.”

Micro was about to retort but paused. If it wasn’t him that it happened to, he would have been laughing just as much as Shiro. Shutting his embarrassment behind his Gamer’s Mind, he found he did find it funny.

“Ok, you’re right,” Micro said with a sigh. Then he remembered what Shiro said about thinking of his girlfriends ‘that’ way and decided to ask. “So...assuming everyone in our group would be ok with it, what girls would you like to...you know…”

“Know what?” Shiro said with a completely straight face as Micro glared at him.

“Swing with,” he said, though as he used that phrase his mind was already predicting the chaos mage’s response.

“I really don’t go to the playground any more.”

“Sleep with you son of a...you know what, your mom is too nice to finish that statement. And of course I mean full relationship consent.”

Shiro chuckled a bit before responding.

“Was that so hard?” He ignored the middle finger sent his way and thought for a moment. “I assume all of them isn’t an acceptable answer?”

“Trust me, that would be Spike’s, Sugar’s, and my answer if it was acceptable. But no, it isn’t.”

“You sure ask the hard questions don’t you?” Shiro smirked before going back to his thoughts. “As hot as Diamond is, I prefer romantic to kinky. Fluttershy was kinda the same though a bit more tamed, and I don’t like the fact she can’t remember our time together.”

“Yeah,” Micro said. “We should talk to her about that soon.” He also thought of a few other things he needed to address. One, his girlfriends needed to meet his mom. Two…

He had to explain to Silver’s dad that she was one of four girlfriends he had. With Chara and Fluttershy he didn’t have that problem as Flutters told her parents and Chara...well, obvious reasons. Scoot’s parents were away so he had a bit of time before that came about since he wanted to do it in person and not over the computer, regardless of the risk to his safety.

“I’d say Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, or Silver,” Shiro said. Micro was a bit surprised two of those three were his girlfriends.

“Why those three of you don’t mind me asking? For my answer, I’d say Sweetie or Applejack.”

“I’ve always had a thing for redheads so that’s why Apple Bloom is on there. Silver has that old fashioned beauty and poise. As for Scoots, she has the same excitement and love of life I do so she’s actually top of the list.”

“So in other words we both want to bang each other’s girlfriends?”

“And each other.”

Micro blanches a bit at that. He had some theories on why Perl was bi while he was straight, but still.

“Why do you make comments like that when I’m not Perl?” Micro asked. Shiro laughed.

“Because it’s funny. You need to learn to just go with things like that. The perfect response would’ve been you saying ‘only if I can be on top.’”

“If Chara and Scoots heard me say that I’d never live it down.”

“Why bother living it down. Just joke back.”

Micro thought about it for a moment and shrugged.

“Ok. Guess I can give it a shot.”

Ten minutes later

“I hate it when deals are suddenly changed,” Micro said as he sat down on one of the many couches in the entertainment room.

“Yeah...kind of a dick move on Sleip’s part,” Shiro said. He especially didn’t like the fact Sleipir did it on a deal Shiro himself initially made as it reflected badly on him. Micro saw the look on Shiro’s face.

“I don’t blame you man,” he said. “You didn’t know. Besides, how bad could five minutes be?”

The steed of legend, after watching the reactions of Magni and Modi, decided that he would give Micro the chance to ride him into battle...but only if he could prove himself worthy of such an honor by lasting five or more minutes in the battlefield of Valhalla. Shiro has protested due to both the change in deal and the doubt a newcomer could do so, but Sleipnir had said he would give Micro multiple tries to succeed so long as he improved each time.

Shiro was about to respond that trying to survive five minutes in Valhalla was difficult, but they were interrupted when Silver and Fluttershy showed up.

“There you two are,” Fluttershy said. “Chara and Sweetie said they found you but didn’t know where you got to after they left.”

“What were you two up to that you remained silent?” Silver asked.

Micro was about to stammer out a response in embarrassment when he thought back to his and Shiro’s conversation before. With a look of mischief, he locked eyes with Shiro.

“Nothing. Just making out.”

Fluttershy and Silver looked at him stunned. It wasn’t helped when Shiro added.

“A little bit of groping, typical guy stuff.”

Fluttershy was staring at the two stunned while Silver’s brain was conjuring images. Suddenly as her face went beet red, she fell backward in a dead faint. Micro quickly sent a wave of microbots to catch her and lay her on one of the other couches.

“Huh,” Micro said to Shiro. “You were right. That is fun.”
