Author's Note » if you've ever wondered why RD and y/n play fight so much, this is why. colts and young foxes play fight a lot, so i thought that'd be a funny way to hint your true form :P there was some other foreshadowing too ;)

"...Princess." You turned around to look at Dash. "...It was 78 degrees today. You can't keep wearing a beanie to hide your ears."

You looked away, taking it off. "It's fine."

"It's not 'fine.'" She grabbed your wrist, persuading your body into sitting down on the couch.

Dash took a deep breath. "You said you didn't wanna talk about it right away, and I said okay, but it's been two. weeks."

"I'm not talking about it because I'm not dealing with it. There's nothing to talk about. It's really fine."

"You never told me what Princess Celestia said." You had no response to this. Dash stared at you, her arms crossing under her chest. Unfortunately for her, you were a master at silence.

She sighed. "If you don't trust me-"

"It's not trust, I just don't wanna talk about it."

"When can we talk about it?"

You swallowed as you fought to keep your tears in your eyes. Swiftly looking up so the liquid would drain into your lacrimal point, you internally cursed when the flow was unfortunately constant.

"Never?" Dash shook her head.

"...[Nickname]." You audibly shuddered as her soft cooing made your tears stream. Hiding your face in her collarbone as you accept her hug, she laid down on the couch, making you straddle her as she pet your head.

"I'm not even sad?" Ironically, you still sobbed. "I just- I'm just mad!"

"Why are you mad?"

why do you make me talk about my problems and not just wallow   -"It's fine."

"It's not fine, [Nickname]. Why are you mad?"

"...I don't even know!" You tried to pinpoint a source but it was everything and nothing at the same time. Your loud sobs were muffled by Dash's shoulder. Her hand moved to scratch your back.

"You're probably still in shock." You could hear her fond smile. "You're numb."

You shook your head. "I've always been apathetic. This is different."

"Yeah, but.. it was a lot more severe after the statue thing. Your brain is.. protecting you; I've had my fair share of seeing shock considering I'm in every sports team at CHS. People don't do too well with flying objects coming right for them."

"But, if you say it's different, it's different, but I can't help you if you don't tell me what's wrong. As formal as you are, I hate seeing you like this. I want you loose, not broken."

"I don't want help."

"If you didn't want help, you wouldn't have broken down as soon as I said your name." You shook your head.
