Love Bite

Chapter 13

tbh i had no idea what i was doing while writing this. It took me like 2 weeks to write 196 words. Save me from this writer's block.

"I'm kinda royal." 

 "You're royal." Fluttershy deadpanned. 

 "Yeah, that's what I said," 

 "I heard you." She coughed and I felt colder. Her voice was thick, raspy, and filled with some kind of emotion. Almost too much. She felt like nothing, like a phantom. 

 "You okay?" Fluttershy nodded and left. Something was wrong with her, even if she decided to keep it to herself. 
~~

 "There's only two days left!" Pinkie whined, dropping herself down onto the floor. Twilight glanced over her book and sighed. 

 "At least it's two days, not one." 

 "But tomorrow there's only gonna be one!" 

 "Be optimistic." 

 "I am!" I rolled my eyes at the pair. Typically, Pinkie truly was optimistic. Hated to think about negative things. It made me slightly jealous. I'd rather portray a cheery, loud person. Just keep all the bad stuff inside and I'll be good, right? Not really. It's been three hours and Fluttershy hasn't come out of her room. It's worrying me. I could check on her, but judging by the way she's been quiet, I don't think she's alright with anyone bothering her. Maybe later.

 "Dash, can you check on Fluttershy? I know you two are close and I'd absolutely hate to bother her." Rarity smiled sheepishly. Fuck. Was there any way at all to get out of this situation?

 "Uh, maybe later. Unless you can't wait. Then maybe you should?" Nailed it.

 "Ah, yes. I will try." With that, Rarity left. Applejack smirked. 

 "She pissed at you?"

  "No," 

 "And you're sure about that?" 

 "No." 

 "Talk to 'er later. Bet she's not." I hope so. I don't know how she would be pissed at me... I don't think I did anything wrong? I'll talk to her later.
~~
 While everyone else was in the pool, again, I knocked on her door. 

 "Come in." The voice that answered sounded weak. So fucking fragile. It made me fear what had happened. It made me fear for her safety, her feelings, her emotions. What did I do to her? 

 As I opened the door, I noticed Fluttershy was sitting on the edge of her bed. Her eyes were slightly swollen and red. She's been crying. I made my way over to her, gently leaning down towards her.

 "What's wrong?" My voice came out as a whisper. 

 "Nothing." She was lying. I lifted my thumb to wipe away a stray tear. 

 "You're lying. You can tell me." I didn't want to force her, but something was wrong. It was getting to me.

 "Us." 

 "What?" Nice response, Dash. Not.

 "We're wrong." She looked up at me, her teal eyes still wet from the tears. The words broke my heart. I felt it shatter into a million, no, a billion pieces. I sat there, silent. I couldn't feel anything. Not yet.

 "How?" My voice cracked. Fuck. I hate feelings. I hate emotions. Should I hate myself for not being good enough? Yeah. 

 "I- Stay here tonight? Please? I'll explain everything." It hurt. I don't know why. I didn't like her like that. Did I? Fucking hell. I'm still in denial. I'm such a mess right now.

 "Okay." The word was forced from my mouth. It felt wrong. 
~~
 "My family basically hates your blood-line. We're supposed to consider you enemies. I think it's because we crave your blood so much... You developed late. Your blood is sweeter than any other "Zap" relative due to developing late. You needed to be triggered before you could continue to develop," 

 "Continue?" I bit my lip. I hated to be an emotional wreck. I went from feeling everything to not feeling anything. 

 "If my parents find out that I've been around a Zap Apple, they'll disown me or something. Maybe even kill me. It's cruel, but that's how we were raised. Angel, my little brother, is a full blood. Meaning he's more powerful than my dad, mom, me, anyone really. He's just nine though so he's not in charge of the throne just yet. Who knows what his punishment would be. But they can smell your scent on me. I'll continue to crave you and that'll lead me straight back to you. It's bad. I guess we can like- I don't know." 

 "I see." Stop with the short replies. She's gonna be suspicious. 

 "I want to be around you. I need to be around you. It's possible that you're my uh, my um, Agapi."

 "What the fuck." 

 "Agapi. It's basically like- soulmates-or-something." The last part was rushed. I could barely make it out. 

 "Isn't it the Greek word for love or something- I read it in one of Twilight's books." I was suddenly very, very curious. 

 "Yes. I don't know how everyone would take it. I mean- If they knew that we were- Y'know. If we even are." Fluttershy replied, looking back down at the bed. 

 "I hope we are." I muttered.

 "What?" 

 "Nothing. It's not that important anyway. It's not like I like you. Like that." Asshole Dash*. Or would it be Rainbow Asshole? Rainbow Dick? What am I thinking about? I should be trying to fix my attitude right now. 

 "Oh," Fuck. She sounded hurt. "That's fine! I.. I don't like you either. Nope." 

 "I'm sorry," 

 "Sorry for what?" She laughed quietly. I hurt her. Again. 

 "I- I was lying." 

 "Yeah. I know. I was lying too. Well, kinda. I don't really like you. I love you." Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck, fuck fuck fuck fuck. Okay. I- My feelings are confusing. I don't know what I feel. She makes me feel something though. She distracts me from the bad thoughts that I have in my head. My stomach does flips when I'm around her and my heart beats out of my chest. I feel really warm and fuzzy too. That probably sounds weird, huh? 

 "I kinda love you too. Maybe. Can you... Stay with me? I'm not sure how to put this. What are we?" I felt heat rushing to my face.

 "I don't know. What do you want to be?" I thought for a second before responding.

 "Yours."
