On the outskirts of a village, deep in the forest, far from ponycivilization 2 lovers could be seen. Their baby was born minutes prior, as the baby moved, it could be seen that it had small insect-like wings and a small horn on its head. His name was Crimson Thunder.
Timeskip modern age
Crimson could be seen venturing around helping around in his family's house. His mother was a unicorn, his father a changeling. He had been living in his parents’ house for most of his life, occasionally going out into the forest. In conclusion, he had very little interaction with others. His parents wanted him to make some friends and learn about the world outside of their small home.
Now we see Crimson ready to start on his journey of making some friends. He concluded that it would be an easy task, his confidence was like an ocean; never-ending.
Crimson: ‘Make some friends, uh? Where should I begin?...’
He was soon interrupted out of his thoughts as many timber wolf howls could be heard. Alarmed, he checked around, trying to identify where it was coming from. He swiftly flew through trees, having located the timber wolves. There is when he saw an injured pegasus mare about his age being backed into a corner by the wolves. If he didn't step in now she may die.
Jumping down the trees, he beheaded a timber wolf with a conjured blade protruding out of his hoof. He quickly dismantled the others with a merciless onslaught. In the end, there were no timber wolves left. The mare behind him witnessed the massacre in front of her, but she was also able to see that he was not a normal pony. He had strange insect-like wings with a horn on his head. She didn't know if alicorns had wings like that, but it didn't matter currently. As he was about to turn around to see if the mare was all right, she suddenly spoke with a scared demeanor.
Pegasus mare: *frightened* “Please don't hurt me!”
She said tears were going out of her eyes. Crimson finally took a good look. She had small wings on both her sides, a pink mane and tail along with 3 butterflies as her cutie mark.
Crimson: “Don't worry, I am not here to bring you harm, no need to be scared of me”
‘I really should keep my brutality in check if I don't wish to scare anypony’
She soon started to stop crying, her composure coming back slowly as the tension in the atmosphere dissipated.
Pegasus mare: *quietly* “Thank you for saving me from those timber wolves. My name is Fluttershy”
Crimson: *excited* “My name is Crimson Thunder. It's nice to meet you Fluttershy would you like a helping hoof? that wing doesn't look too good.”
Fluttershy looked back at her wing; it was damaged; she doubted if it could lift her up. It didn't seem like she had a choice as the stallion in front of her could help her make the way back to the cottage without any possible dangers along the way. In the end, she decided that it was the best option.
Fluttershy: *quietly* "Yes, I would like some help. Please be gentle,"
Crimson without needing more affirmation went to Fluttershy's side and with a bit of magic and leaves he was able to make an improvised cast, all while Fluttershy hid behind her mane with a bit of writhing from the pain. After this, Crimson did something very unexpected to Fluttershy: he took her on his back and began flying. It honestly embarrassed her.
Crimson: "So fluttershy where to?"
Fluttershy: *quietly* “My cottage is out of the forest a bit to the north."
Crimson: "Well, no time to waste, let's go!"
As Crimson flew to Fluttershy's cottage, she couldn't help but wrap her hoofs around Crimson's body. He was warm like a small fire. It made her loosen up a bit more and relax. She didn't understand if he felt like this because of his physiology or because of his help, but she couldn't deny that she liked the feeling of their bodies pressing against each other.
Crimson, on the other hand, was feeling some of the same feelings as the mare tightened her grip on him. It made Crimson feel warm and happy, his heartbeat increasing a bit in the process.
From the distance, the cottage could be seen; it was small but humble and housed multiple types of animals. As the 2 pony landed Fluttershy slid off the back of the stallion and opened the door for both of them, she wanted to repay the help Crimson gave her and since he didn't seem to be from here she would let him rest in her house after all it was dark outside.
Fluttershy: “Crimson do you have a place to stay?”
Crimson could only pale as he had forgotten all about where he would stay while on his “quest”.
Crimson: *nervous* “Well not really” ‘I should have planned this out damn it’.
Fluttershy: “Well you can sleep for the night here it's the least I can do”
Crimson was taken back by the offer, but he didn't see a reason to decline. He would rather be in the cottage than in the dirt, so he accepted after a bit of thinking.
Crimson: “Thanks Fluttershy” he smiled at her
Now we are on the second floor of Fluttershy's home. It turns out it was much more spacious than what Crimson originally thought. In the corner of the room, there was a bed Fluttershy was lying on, thinking about her day and how Crimson saved her. She had a crush on Crimson that was clear to her, but she would like to learn more about him before she tried to move up their relationship.
A few hours later Crimson could be seen asleep on Fluttershy couch on the first floor but was woken up when he heard loud shuffling from upstairs, he went to investigate and he saw Fluttershy turning and softly crying in her bead it seemed she was having a nightmare.
Crimson thought of how he could help her when a sudden memory hit him. Back in his parent's home, when he had a nightmare, his mother always stayed with him and comforted Crimson. With a clear plan in mind, he layed in the bed beside Fluttershy wrapped his hoofs around her and snuggled her. Fluttershy's erratic movement stopped, and she slowly opened her eyes and saw Crimson's eyes in front of her looking into her own eyes.
Fluttershy: *blush* “Crimson, what are you doing?”
Crimson: *smiling* “Well it seemed you were having a nightmare, and I wanted to help. Is there a problem?”
Fluttershy: “N-n-no it was just unexpected”
Fluttershy was embarrassed, but in that embarrassment, there were hints of happiness and anticipation coursing through her as she softly smiled and snuggled into the stallion. She enjoyed his company very much. It was definitely helping her nightmare.
Crimson: “Are you feeling better, Fluttershy? I can leave if you want.”
Her grip on him tightened along with a desperate reply from the mare.
Fluttershy: “No. I like it this way, please don't leave me.”
Crimson: “Alright I guess it's fine. Goodnight, Fluttershy.”
Crimson let out a small smile as he also tightened his grip on Fluttershy; he liked her presence.
Crimson: ‘Fluttershy… you're so sweet you'll be my first friend’
As Fluttershy went to sleep once again, Crimson started to eat at her emotions, especially since that fear she had he couldn't let his first friend have those nightmares, could he?
