>You just lay in bed, unable to sleep
>It was kind of understandable, Anon had barely known you for a day
>3AM
>The bed felt cold tonight
>You roll over a few times, not able to get comfortable
>Your bedroom door opens slowly
>Anon?
>He walks over to your bed and lifts up the covers, hitting you with a blast of cold air
>Something larger than you slides onto the bed and pulls you in
>You could feel Anon's face in your mane, warming your neck
>It was a little warm with Anon
>But it was better than being cold
>He pulled the covers back over the both of you
>You hadn't done something like this before, this was so much better than the pillow
>When you woke up the next morning, Anon was still there
>He was awake but trying to go back to sleep
>And with both arms wrapped around you, he seemed to determined to keep you in bed with him
>Good lord, he had you in an iron vicegrip
>A-at least you didn't have anywhere to be
>As the sun slowly rose, your room brightened
>At some point a little after sunrise, Anon began to move and get out of bed
>"Morning, Fizzy." he said, brushing his hand down your neck
>You roll to face Anon and get out of bed too
>Anon lifts you off of the bed
>He needed to stop it with the holding
>This wasn't oka-
>Anon sits down on the couch and leans back with you on his chest
>Yet again, you were too comfy to voice your protests
>With Anon's face in your chest fluff, you start going back to sleep with him on the couch
>For a moment you almost forgot your crippling lack of confidence with stallions
>Your biggest issue with ever talking to stallions was sitting right on your face
>N-not like that
>Your horn kind of did cause you to be a social outcast
>Not many stallions wanted to even talk to the scary, lanky mare
>You were what they pictured when they heard the word 'rapist'
>But Anon didn't seem to be able to tell
>As the sun finally began to shine, indicating morning was well over, he decided to wake up
>But you weren't done yet
>Just a few more minutes
>You hadn't gotten cuddles since you were a filly
>Anon didn't argue, and wrapped his arms around your back to better apply your chest fluff to his face
>Eventually, you both come to the silent agreement that it was time to get up
>11AM
>Anon rolls, sliding out from under you and standing up while leaving you on the couch
>He stretches, what a weirdly-shaped creature
>"So what's happening today?" Anon yawns
>You didn't have anything planned for today
>You had a lot of cash left over from Storm King's payroll if you transferred stormbucks for exotic furniture and art and then traded that for bits, and you made profit too
>Basically you were living like a NEET for now
"We should get breakfast... Or lunch at this point."
>You crawl off of the couch and stretch
>Anon starts getting dressed
>H-he was in underwear and you didn't even notice
>All that skin-to-fur contact
>You can feel your face heating up
>"Food sounds good- Hey, are you okay?"
"Y-yeah..."
>Anon picks you up again, looking into your eyes
>"You're such a pretty pony." he says as his nose comes into contact with yours
"Th-thanks."
>You didn't have anything to wear and were getting used to going nude everywhere
>Apparently humans always wore clothes for protective reasons
>Anon straightened out his clothes as you walked to the door
>As you opened it, you are greeted by two of the four princesses
>Twilight and Cadance, you opened the door up moments before they were about to knock
>"Hey there Fizzlepop, we just wanted to check in on you and Anon." Twilight says
"If you're wondering, I haven't killed him."
>"Ahahaha, really try not to, Fizzlepop." Cadance laughs nervously, "We found him especially for you."
>Cadance and Twilight invite themselves in
>"Woah, who are these two?" Anon motions to the two ponies
>Cadance starts making short chat with Anon while Twilight talks to you
>"So how goes things with Anon?" she asks
"He... It's clear he doesn't see me the way a typical colt would."
>"That's a neat thing about humans, their females are evil. You and every other mare in Equestria beat 3.5 billion possible mates by virtue of being capable of love."
>3.5 billion?
>You look at Anon
>He really dropped everything on Earth for you
>"There wasn't much on Earth for him, he's a passionate romantic and his love would be lost on a human female."
"Oh."
>"That is so cute!" Cadance squeals, talking with Anon across the room
>Twilight turns back to you
>"You'll be good to him, won't you?"
"Of course. He- He's the first to ever look past my looks."
>"I trust you, Fizzlepop. Anon trusts you too."
>Twilight turns to Cadance
>"Cadance, do you want to head back home?"
>She nods, "It's a love more pure than any, Fizzlepop. He cherishes you beyond words!" she said in a singsong tune as she practically floated by
>As soon as they left, you look at your hooves
>Why couldn't Twilight trust you with this?
>Your dark thoughts were immediately pushed away by Anon
>He had dropped onto all fours and was leaning curiously into your field of view with impressive contortion
>"Hey, don't look so sad." Anon says
>You straighten up and look away from his game
>He cherishes you beyond words
>Anon makes another move to get into your line of sight but you face away
>"Weren't we going to eat?"
"Yeah. Let's go."
>You lead Anon through the busy streets towards a little cafe you ate at sometimes in the midnight hours
>You notice Anon moving a little sluggish
>He sees that you notice
>"Just a little tired." he says
>You and Anon take a seat at the little table in the corner of the cafe
>Less chance of being spotted
>You trade out the lunch menu for a breakfast menu and look at it
>Anon scoots in next to you instead of across, and peers at the menu
>"I uh... I can't read any of that." he says, pointing at the pony manuscript on the menu
>Anon yawns, "I'll have whatever you're getting."
>As the waiter pony walks up, you make your order
"I'll have an omelet with some daisies."
>"Me too."
>You look around the cafe and notice a pony gawking at you
>She giggles and then keeps walking
>You sigh and stare at the table
>Anon had made you forget that you were still an ourcast
>His hand came up under your chin and turned you towards him
>Anon smiled gently
>He made you forget
>His hand ran through your mane
>"Smile, Fizzy. You're beautiful." Anon said, leaving a kiss on your cheek
>For the first time ever, you finally felt comfortable with yourself
>Even if Anon was incredibly strange, even for a human he was really weird
>He looked at you with an even greater softness than your parents did
>He didn't lie when he said you were beautiful
>You couldn't stop a cheeky smile from appearing
>"There she is!" Anon said, wrapping his arm around you, "There's that pretty smile."
>Tears welled up in your eyes
>How in all the world had you been denied this saccharine love for so long?
>So many years wasted, so many cold nights, far too many lonely days
>The tough commander melted away under Anon's unwaivering gaze
>You lean against him
>You're glad he wasn't sitting across from you
>You just wanted to sit here forever with him
>Anon's hand went through your mane again, settling behind your ear and rubbing in a small circle
"S-so you and I are... Together?"
>Anon stops rubbing
>He is silent for a moment
>Your heart skips a beat
>FIZZLEPOP WHAT THE FUCK
>YOU RUINED IT
>WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU
>"Of course, why wouldn't we be?"
"I... Uh. Nevermind."
>"Well, you came and got me from Earth so that makes me yours, and since I'm not planning on leaving you ever, you're mine."
>Anon laughed and hugged you against his chest tightly
>"You're stuck with me forever!"
>Hahaha...
>You hoped he would never let go
>Finally the waiter came back with your orders, interrupting one of the few hugs you've ever recieved
>Anon looks like he regretted getting daisies in an omelet
>Humans probably don't eat those
>He definitely tried, making a muted cringe with every bite
>"Those sure are bitter, huh?"
"I think they're okay." you were getting used to eating real food instead of Storm™ food-flavored pudding substitute
>Anon ate less than a quarter of his food and then noted that he had made a horrible mistake
"You can get something else, it's no issue."
>"I'm good, I needed to make some changes to my diet anyways."
>You and Anon walked out of the cafe after paying for the resonably cheap food
>Anon tried to pay with a strange rectangle, and then with green paper
>He seemed really upset when he found out "they didn't take American Express"
>It cost you like four bits for the both of you
>You also found out the Earth economy is in shambles because Anon freaked out over four gold coins
>Apparently he lived on like 3 bits a week
>Something about the value of gold
>You weren't a pony that studied economics, but humans seemed to have no idea how money worked
>Paper wasn't money
>Gold was money
>You and Anon had a whole... afternoon left to do stuff
>And nothing to do
>He sat down under a tree with you, relaxing in the shade
>"So how long have you lived here?"
"Only a few weeks."
>"Before that?"
"I, uhh... I worked for a really nasty guy. He tried to take over the world."
>"And Twilight was just cool with you, no problems or anything?"
"I don't think she trusts me fully... I'm really trying to change."
>Anon lays over in your lap
>"I don't think you need to change, you're already a good pony. I can tell."
>You laugh nervously
"I-I..."
>"She trusts you enough to leave me with you. That or she doesn't care." Anon shrugs
"Do you trust me?"
>"Because I see good in you, yeah."
>You place a hoof on Anon's head, trying to pet him like he did to you
>It isn't as effective when you did it
>After a few moments of your hoof on his face, Anon sat up and drew a knee close to his chest
>"So, what did you do before you moved here?" he shifted uncomfortably
>You suddenly realized what had happened
"Oh my gosh, are you into hooves?" you ask with a smug grin
>"N-no..."
"Ha! Yes you are!"
>Anon crossed his arms
>"I've just... You put them right in my face, what were you expecting?!"
"Tell me, what else do you like?"
>"I've been alone my entire life, I don't care as long as I get to feel intimacy."
>That struck your heart directly
"Yeah... I see where you're coming from."
>Damnit Anon, quit taking the wind out of your lewd sails
>"What did you do before you moved here?"
"I-I... I did a lot of things I regret now."
>"That's okay, everyone makes mistakes."
"I was misguided, I'd take it all back if I could."
>"But then you'd be completely different."
"I'd be a better pony."
>"You're perfect the way you are."
>You look at Anon
>What drove him to be so... good to you
>You'd done nothing to deserve this
>"What about before that?"
"Before what?"
>"Before your job for what's-his-face, the nasty guy who tried to take over the world?"
"I'd rather not go any further into my past. I want to be happy in the present."
>"That's fine."
"What about you, Anon? What was your life on Earth like?"
>"It was... It was empty. I don't really want to go any further than that."
"What do you want to do with your new life here?"
>"I have some plans, but I can't tell you yet." Anon smiles
>You lay down in the grass under the tree
"Why can't you tell me?"
>"It's a surprise for you."
"Well in that case..." you lean in and whisper "Pleeeaase?"
>"Nope. Lips are sealed."
"Are they?" you rush in and give Anon a quick smooch on the lips
>"H-hey! That- that's not fair!" Anon changed from green to red
>You'd never had a kiss before, it was certainly satisfying
>You'd never have done that to anyone else but Anon
>He just made you comfortable enough to let down your guard and act like a normal pony for once
>Anon was still bright red
>You had accidentally gotten too lewd, even for him
