Fluttercord

Fluttershy gave Discord a scarf as a Hearthswarming Eve present. She then tried to figure out what to do regarding the size of her cottage and Discord living there. Discord ran off all upset about Fluttershy leaving him out in the cold and when she found him he was ill. She took him in then noticed it would be a full moon that night. She went to Sweet Apple Acres to get some apples and when she returned she found out Discord was faking being ill to see if she would be a nice enough friend to take care of him. She drank the juice out of an entire basket of apples, transforming into Flutterbat in the process and flying off to the vampire fruit bat sanctuary at Sweet Apple Acres. Discord followed and watched her the entire night. It's now Hearts and Hooves day and Fluttershy is trying to get Discord out of the cottage until the evening so she can set up a surprise she has for him.

Discord: Curious. "So what are you hiding, Fluttershy?"

"It's a special surprise. I'm going to be busy all day preparing it for you. So I need you to not see it so you don't spoil it for yourself.

Discord: "Now you've got me even more curious, Fluttershy. What secrets are you hiding?"

"You'll have to wait and find out. Now please Discord. It's Heart's and Hooves Day. I want my special surprise to be perfect.

Discord: Crosses my arms and pouts. "Why can't you just show me now? I promise I'll act surprised, later."

"Because it's not ready now."

Discord: Pouts. "Fine, I'll pop into my realm for a little while, leaving you to set whatever it is up. Just call when you are done." I disappear to my realm.

Fluttershy worked the whole day preparing a special dinner for her and Discord. She decorated the cottage with roses. When she was finished with the card she put it in his place on the table along with a box of chocolates almost as big as she was. Finally everything was ready. "It's perfect. Well. Almost." She paused. "Discord?"

Discord: Sticks my head through chaotic space. "Yes, Fluttershy?"

"Close your eyes and take my hoof." She held out her hoof to him.

Discord: Looks leery. "You aren't going trick me, are you?"

"I'm not. I Pinkie Promise."

Discord: "Well, if you insist." I close my eyes and take Fluttershy's hoof.

Fluttershy led him to where she'd set everything up. She let go and went to get the card. Going back over to him she held out the card. "O-okay. You can open your eyes." The card said Be my special somepony...I mean if that's okay with you. Fluttershy blushed and looked away from Discord. "Um...Um..."

Discord: Opens my eyes, looking at the card. "Fluttershy, what is this?"

"Remember how I was saying I was working on something for my special somepony but I didn't know if he wanted to be my special somepony? Well...Um..." Fluttershy blushed more.

Discord: "Fluttershy, are you asking me to be your boyfriend?"

Fluttershy made a nervous little squeak and said, very quietly. "Yes"

Discord: Floats in the air, sitting, crossing his legs. "Why I don't know what to say? This is all so very sudden and forward."

"I...I like you Discord. You're...a great friend but...I-I like you more than just a friend."

(Yay for being sappy!)

Discord: Feels nervous and scared. "I-I don't know what to think..." Suddenly, I disappear back into chaotic space.

"Discord..." Fluttershy slumped down on the floor. "I knew it...I shouldn't have even tried..."

Discord: Pacing in my chaotic space. "Fluttershy likes me more than a friend? I... don't know how to handle this. No pony ever wanted to be friends with me, before, let alone more than friends. What to do... what to do..."

Fluttershy stared at the table where she'd prepared dinner for the two of them and sighed.
