Head in the Clouds: FLUTTERDASH (an lgbt mlp/eqg fanfic)

Borderline

Fluttershy's POV:

Still being shooken up by the whole experience she had encountered the other day in her own home, Fluttershy had been flinching from even the slightest touch. It was getting to the point where her mother changed her therapy schedule to 3 times a week instead of once. Fluttershy hated more than anything feeling like she was a bother. She tried distancing herself more from her family which- in hindsight only made them more worried.

She didn't go to school for two weeks in fear of seeing Discord again. Her father had assured her that they would be suing him and the school but Fluttershy didn't feel that was necessary.

"He didn't technically...touch me," Fluttershy would say at the dinner table. "It was merely stroking..."

"Enough." Fluttershy's dad's voice came out rough, very unlike his usual sweet quiet tone.

   "I can't listen to what that horrible man did to you. He will pay."

Zephyr stayed silent throughout the dinner conversation.

"This is really extremely serious, honey," Fluttershy's mom said gently holding her daughters hand. "It's not something to take lightly."

"I obviously know that but-"

"But what, shy?" Zephyr finally spoke up staring directly at Fluttershy. "I know your whole brand is being the kindest person around or something but seriously, you almost got-"

He stopped mid sentence. Everyone at the table was quiet as they all stared down at their food.

    Fluttershy looked up from her lap. "It's not my brand Zeph. It's who I am, genuinely."

     The table remained silent again.

     Fluttershy cleared her throat as she slowly rose from her chair.

   "I'm gonna go take a walk," she picked up her plate and walked it to the kitchen.

     Rainbow Dash's POV:

The following days events for Rainbow Dash were quite ordinary. She would go to school, see her friends, have sports practices, then go home and repeat. Fluttershy had already told Rainbow how she wasn't feeling like going to school and of course Rainbow understood. With this, she had other things on her mind. Rainbow Dash had been texting an old friend from camp called Lightning Dust. They had recently re connected and started texting again. In fact, before the whole fiasco went down at Fluttershy's house she was texting back and fourth with the fellow athlete.

    Lightning Dust was different, she pushed Rainbow Dash. She wanted her to be the best that she could be and Rainbow loved that. She was funny, powerful, athletic, had good looks...pretty much all of the above.
Well...except sometimes she could be pretty blunt and this didn't bother Rainbow much because she already had Applejack who was often honest with her opinions as well. Lightning Dust just...expressed them differently. Less friendlier if you will.

  Nonetheless Rainbow Dash still found herself admiring Lightning's little quirks and she liked to believe that Lightning was into her too. They had planned to hang out when the weekend came and go for a run which Dash could hardly wait for. Rainbow Dash glanced up at her posters of female athletes on her bedroom wall and grinned. She couldn't believe she had denied herself for so long about her sexuality. At last she felt like she could finally break free and allow herself to have these feelings.
