The Softness of Her Heart

S-sorry for sleeping on you...

Sombra's P.O.V:

I opened my eyes and saw that something soft and yellow was on top of me. 

Looking closer, I saw that it was that pegasus, Fluttershy.

Why was she sleeping on top of me? Didn't she have her own place to sleep?

I shrugged and fell back asleep.

When I woke up again, I really had to use the bathroom. And to use the bathroom, I had to move. 

And to move, I had to move the cute sleeping pegasus who was on top of me.

I shook my head. What was I thinking?! Cute?! But anyways, it felt so cozy here. Much better than it did the other nights.

I tapped Fluttershy lightly. "Wake up.", I told her. But she still didn't move.

Oh how I wish that I had my magic now. Then I could move her. But no, that foal of a bitamax had to come and take my magic!

Now I really needed to go. "FLUTTERSHY WAKE UP!", I shouted, causing the pegasus to jump awake, and blush when she saw that she had been sleeping on me this whole time. 

"Now if you'll excuse me," I said quieter. "I need to go use the bathroom."

Fluttershy's P.O.V:

I was having the best dream ever when I heard somepony shout, "FLUTTERSHY WAKE UP!" I jumped in fear and saw that it was Sombra who had shouted.

I blushed seeing that I had been sleeping on him. He said in a quieter tone, "Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go use the bathroom."

"Ah...sorry...." I apologized, my ears lowered. "I will give the animals their breakfast then."

With that, I walked out of the room and went after my daily chores. 

To my surprise, when I was about to feed the animals, Sombra walked into the room, carrying a bowl of different vegetables for the animals.

"Let me help you." He offered, but his expression was neutral, with me only able to nod in complete awe.

The ringing of the door bell made me jump as I startled slightly, yet I did not hesitate to answer it. 

A smile formed on my face to see it was Applejack, dragging a cart of...apples behind her?
"Howdy, Fluttershy. Ah had some leftovers from selling and thought ya might have some use for them." 

My friend greeted me before spotting the former King, her eyes widened in surprise. "Uhh...do mah eyes deceive me?"

Now, I couldn't help but chuckle sightly. "No, they don't, Sombra wants to help me."

As if having sensed her confusion, Sombra said in a neutral tone, "Just because I am a King, does not mean I know how to repay being housed. Nor am I afraid to do things myself if necessary. "

"Ah've got to go now Fluttershy. See ya.", Applejack waved and left.

" Uh, bye Applejack. ", I waved after her. I continued feeding the creatures. It was much faster with Sombra's help.

We had finished feeding the creatures and were now eating grapes. I remembered what happened in the morning and said, " Um...Sombra? "

"Yes?", he asked.

" I'm sorry for falling asleep on you. I should've um-", I started but Sombra cut me off.

"It wasn't your fault, Fluttershy.", he said gently. " You just were very tired and fell asleep, that's all."

I was surprised by his gentle tone, and smiled, "Thanks Sombra, for understanding."

"You're welcome, Fluttershy.", he smiled back.

Sombra's P. O.V:

After the mare said, " Thanks Sombra, for understanding."

I put on a smile and replied, "You're welcome, Fluttershy."

Even though I was supposed to hate her, because I wanted too, I kind of liked how her name sounded.

And she was so kind... I shook my head; I shouldn't be thinking about those type of things.

The mare asked, "Sombra? Are you fine?"

"I am.", was my reply. " There was a fly near my ear, that's all. And that I'm a little tired."

"Okay.", she nodded. " You could have a nap if you want.."

I politely declined. "No thanks. I think I can stay awake."

"Okay.", she said.

Fluttershy's P.O.V:

It was now night, and Sombra had gone to sleep after helping me again.

I was in bed, but couldn't sleep. 

I was too busy wondering why Sombra helped me.

He was showing signs of reformation, and I couldn't be happier.

But if he was reformed, that meant he had to go soon, right?

He wasn't like Discord; the two were very different.

I didn't want Sombra to go, did I?

I kind of liked him, even if he scared me at first.

I was growing comfortable around him.

And that scared me a bit. What if he didn't like me?

And what would my friends and everypony else say?

That, I didn't know. My eyelids grew heavy, and the next thing I knew, I was asleep.
