Fizzling Magma 1 (AiE; Fizzle)

>Been in Equestria for about a year now
>Friends with most of the ponies, even banged a few mares
>But ended up being best bros with Spike
>You and him sorta have the same 'only species in a world of pone' thing going
>Plus he knows damn near everyone
>One day he gives you an armband and tells you to come with him on a man-quest away from all the ponies
>wtf?.jpg
>He brings you to a volcano, says the armband will keep the lava from burning you
>lava?
>Introduces you to a buncha older dragons
>Says the red one and him got into a fight awhile back but they're cool now
>They're all about your height, but that's about where the similarities end
>Garble, the red one, initially starts shit with you, but a few scuffles later he acts like you've been his bro for years
>The rest follow suit, doing some 'honorary dragon' ceremony and chucking you face first into the lava
>The armband only protects your body and not your clothes
>Wonder if they knew you even had it
>Clothing vaporized but holy shit
>Best hot tub ever
>Instantly relax
>But ass naked for rest of the trip
>Thankfully none of them seem to notice or care, following you into the volcano
>They keep dunking you in the lava, wrestling you around and generally having a good time
>Though you swear the white one keeps looking at you funny
>He avoids you most of the trip
>Can't be everyone's friend, you wager, and don't think twice about it
>On the way back to Ponyville, Spike lends you his travelling cloak
>Just about covers your midsection but whatever works
>Promise to come back with him next month
>Will bring a change of clothes this time
>Next month comes around
>Spike practically kicks your door in at the crack of dawn
>Planning on spending the weekend this time
>Rarara sees you off with a spare set of clothing and scowl about you destroying your other outfit
>Still dunno what Spike sees in her
>Make your way to the volcano
>Gang of dragons see you two and fly over
>Garble snatches Spike up and flies off
>Another one grabs you, the white one
>You think Spike said his name is Fizzle
>You try to say hi but he refuses to say anything or look at you
>The others probably know he doesn't like you so they made him carry you, like the asshats they are
>Chuckle and shrug while waiting for the inevitable plunge into the lava
>Hit the surface like last time, clothing burning off immediately, but your muscles relaxing in an instant
>Feelssogood
>Lay back on the molten rock, closing your eyes and feeling the various impacts of the other dragons into the volcano
>Hear Spike whining as Garble and the rest chuck him around like a football
>Laugh and continue to float there
>Open your eyes
>Fizzle is staring at you from a nearby rock
>You swear he's blushing
>He notices you looking back and flies away in a hurry
>What the heck is with him?
>Maybe he's jealous of how much attention you and Spike get?
>Something knocks the wind out of you
>Spike landed right on your stomach
>"Hey Scale-less has the ball!"
>Oh fuck...
>They all dogpile you and you all go under the lava
>The day goes mostly like this
>Relax until Garble and the rest decide to pull you into some sort of roughhousing
>By the time night rolls around, you're all pretty beat
>One by one they started heading to their caves
>Ends up being just you, Spike, Garble and Fizzle
>Spike is passed out
>Garble scoops him up, promises to leave him somewhere funny
>Flies off, Spike tucked under his arm
>Just the two of you now
>Awkward
>"So...umm...you have a place to go right?"
>He still won't look at you
>You say you don't, that Spike never said where they'd be sleeping
>"Oh yea? I mean...well...I got room in my cave...its over there"
>He points as if you have any remote idea where 'over there' is
>You agree
>He stands there and fumbles with his claws
>You remind him you can't fly
>"Huh? Oh yea duh, Hahaha, I forgot! Guess I have to carry you right? Or I mean, you could climb on my back...not like I want you there it might be more comfortable, that's all!"
>This is so weird but you have to admit riding on his back is better than him grabbing your shoulders again
>You agree again and he chuckles sheepishly and turns around
>You climb on and he flies to his cave
>Its not a long flight but he flies slowly and cautiously
>Or maybe you've been hanging around Dash too much
>His tail keeps getting close to your legs then pulling away when it makes contact
>Weird...
>You become painfully aware of your nudeness and how cold it is
>Subconsciously hold on a little tighter to avoid the cold air
>He must be cold too, you feel him shivering
>Reach the cave mouth, he lets you climb down
>Its pretty empty, a pile of gems in one corner, a pile of straw and hay in the other
>Random shit here and there
>In the back you can see the glow of magma
>Least it'll keep the cave warm
>Sorta anyhow, its drafty as hell
>"Wh-what do you think? Not bad right?"
>You turn around
>He's standing in the cave mouth, fidgeting
>You tell him its alright
>"Ya I could use more stuff....I mean not too much, don't wanna gay it up and fill it with foofoo stuff ya know...I mean unless you like stuff like that then thats cool I guess...not that I care what you like or anything! just mean its cool if you do, thats all!"
>You can only nod slowly
>"I'm.....gonna eat something! Yea couple a gems after a long day bro-ing it up right?"
>You keep nodding, not sure how to feel anymore
>He goes to the gem pile and fumbles around in it
>He produces an odd shaped bag and tosses it to you
>Its full of....dear lord it can't be...
>Beef jerky?!
>"Ya so like...this griffin I know said you might like that...cause I mean you're not dragon enough to eat gems so I had to have something for you. Not that I thought you'd stay here tonight I just figured the others wouldn't want you around so..."
>He shoves a few gems in his mouth, wiping sweat form his brow
>You're too overjoyed by the taste of meat to care how goddamned awkward this is
>Every so often you catch him checking to see if you like the food
>Every time you assure him its great
>Eventually tell him how the ponies don't eat meat and that you don't know any griffins yourself
>"R-really? Awesome! Only cost me a ruby for the whole thing...I'm happy you like it....ya know cause if you didn't I'd have to go beat up that griffin for lying to me!"
>He's still avoiding eye contact when you look at him, even when he's switching from concerned to toughguymode
>It's sorta cute...even if it doesn't make sense
>Are all dragons secretly like Spike and aim to please?
>Either way, all the awkward in the cave is worth the good meal
>You set aside the bag, plenty left, and tell you're thankful for his hospitality
>Even in the dimness of the cave, you can see his cheeks turn red under his white scales
>"I-its nothing! Don't worry about it!"
>He notices how loud he yelled and fumbles with his claws, looking down
>"....glad you liked it so much..."
>You go back to nodding
>"So...umm...you really tired? Cause I can do whatever...if you wanna sleep I'm down for that...unless you don't wanna. We could go in the back and take a bath in the magma...its a lot nicer than the volcano....but not like together! I can wait till your done...but there's totally enough room for both of us so...I mean if its not a big deal...but if you don't wanna thats cool too! Like I said you pick, bro, you're the guest, ya know?"
>After all the scuffling you did with the other dragons, another lava bath sounded great
>You tell him you're gonna use the magma bath
>You stand up, brushing some of the cave dust off your bare form
>Fizzle sits there, looking at the floor
>Like he wants to ask something but can't bring himself to do it
>You take the hint and tell him you don't mind if he comes along
>He looks up and for the very first time looks you in the eyes
>Only to turn away immediately and wipe his forehead
>"Ok! Umm...whatever bro, follow me, its this way!"
>He jumps up in a hurry and leads you deeper into the cave
>You reach the magma pool and he steps aside
>You walk ahead and step in
>Its even hotter than the lava, if such a thing was even possible
>Your armband keeps you from dying but holy shit it was like liquid sauna
>All the while, you can almost feel Fizzle's eyes on you as you go in slowly
>You try not to turn around
>Get in to about your waist, leaning against the cave floor
>Stretch out, your chest exposed, arms tensing behind you
>Catch Fizzle standing there like a statue
>Ask him if he's coming in or not
>"Wha...ohyeayeayearight! Just waiting for you to get comfy...able! Comfortable yea! Cause its polite or some shit, hahahaha"
>He quickly gets in the pool
>Sits on the opposite side, sinking in about as much as you did
>You sigh and relax, sinking deeper into the molten rock
>He does the same
>Your foot bumps into his under the surface
>You have an odd idea and don't move it
>Neither does he
>You look his way and see him staring at you again
>He looks away and pulls his foot back in a hurry
>"Was that you...s-sorry bro, its not as big as I remember ya know? I didn't--"
>You stop him mid awkward
>You ask him why he's acting so scared around you
>He looks down and fumbles with his claws, saying nothing
>You follow up with another question
>One that you cannot believe is leaving your lips
>You ask him if he likes you
>"Wha-!? CourseIdowhywouldn'tI? I mean you're cool an' Spike is a cool football and we all have fun and shit so we're buddies right? Thats why i let you stay over!"
>You give him a look that screams 'keep going'
>He pulls his wings around himself and looks away
>His cheeks are dark red
>The magma has nothing to do with it
>"Don't make me say it, Anon"
>You take a deep breath and sigh
>He keeps looking at his claws, not saying anything else
>You ask him why he couldn't just be honest
>"About what?! Oh you mean...yea well...if the other dudes found out then...ya know they might not wanna...we wrestle and fuck around a lot I don't wanna..."
>He looks like he's about to cry
>Without a second though, you make your way across the pool and sit next to the larger dragon
>All that time in ponyville made you a lot less worried about physical contact
>You put your arm around his back and tell him his secret is safe with you
>"Th-thanks...you're a cool....whatever you are..heh heh"
>He studders and wipes his eyes
>You give his shoulder a squeeze and tell him you think he's an awesome dragon
>"R-really? You...you think I'm awesome?"
>You nod and give his shoulder another squeeze
>He's trembling but at least he's finally making eye contact
>Not for anything, he's a lot easier on the eyes than the other dragons
>"I...n-nobody every said that before..."
>He's so nervous you're afraid his shaking is going to cause a cave in
>You pull him closer in for a reassuring hug
>He practically falls into your arms
>Oh fuck he's heavier than he looks
>Not to mention stronger
>He rests his snout on your chest and closes his eyes
>not sure what to do you pet his scales while he tightens his grip around your midsection
>They're surprisingly soft....
>This lasts for a little bit
>In a dark cave its hard to tell how much time passed
>It didn't look like Fizzle was going to let go anytime soon so you began to pat his back
>The universal 'enough hugging' pat
>He gets the hint and releases you, sitting back up and leaning back on the rock
>You notice he sits directly next to you, his leg and thigh pressed against yours
>You hope to god that's his tail sliding around your back and down your other leg
>"So...umm....heh...er...what now, bro?"
>He's looking right at you with the biggest smile you've ever seen
>You suggest maybe going to bed
>Despite everything it had been a long day and you're starting to get a little tired
>You're not sure how healthy it is to fall asleep in magma, even with magic protecting you
>"Sleep? You mean like...oh right yea, hahah, I'm tired too, we had a hell of a day, right?"
>You nod and get out of the pool
>His eyes go a little wider when you briefly tower over him
>And they go right to your package
>So this is what hot chicks feel like
>His cheeks go red again
>You suggest he show you where to sleep
>Its his turn to nod and get out of the pool
>He leads the way back toward the front of the cave, you followng
>He keeps his tail raised the whole way
>Oh god does he think you meant....
>You start thinking of an excuse why you shouldn't
>Your mind runs through every bullshit excuse you've ever heard during your life
>You decide on 'too tired'
>He'll believe that and it won't hurt his feelings
>Eyes can't seem to leave his rear
>....it's not a bad view at least
>And the tail makes it a little exotic...
>You find walking becomes a little difficult
>Fizzle reaches the pile of hay and straw
>The cool breeze feels good against your super heated skin
>Not to mention it diffuses your earlier issue well enough
>You're still at half mast though, and he's aware of it now
>"All yours bro, make yourself comfy"
>He's still all smiles
>And his eyes still can't keep themselves out of trouble
>You ask him where he's going to sleep if you take his bed
>He suddenly looks like you stabbed him in the heart
>He looks away embarrassed and sighs
>"Oh umm...I mean...there's....I guess I could...umm...I thought...no I guess that was stupid..."
>Oh god he's too adorable you can't torture him anymore
>Chuckle and tell him you're kidding and that you're more than willing to share
>"You...ok yea, we can do that...you're such a kidder, Anon"
>His smile is back but he's clearly embarrassed for wearing his heart so obviously on his sleeve
>You push and move the bed around, making a comfortable pile for yourself
>He watches, fidgeting and scratching the back of his head while you do it
>You had to admit, the attention was kinda nice
>Especially from someone that could have overpowered you anytime he wanted
>That hug he gave you was proof enough, your sides still were a little sore
>You find a good position on your back
>He's still waiting
>You tell him to come lay down
>He nods and gets onto the straw pile with you
>Immediately assumes cuddling position
>Arm over your chest, head snuggling into your shoulder, legs wrapped up with yours
>As much of his body pressing into you as he can
>You lift your arm to let him get closer and you run your hand down his back and scratch where his wings are
>He moans a little and his claw squeezes your shoulder
>You lay this way for awhile, Fizzle unable to lay still, always squeezing or nuzzling or anything to let you know he's still awake
>"Anon...?"
>"Can we....umm...ya know when you...lay on your side and...you're behind someone and they...with their legs and...you hold them?"
>All the things you thought he was going to ask you didn't think that awkward mess would amount to 'can we spoon?'
>Seeing no harm in it, you agree
>He gets up and you both lay on your sides and assume the position
>You hug his chest and pull him closer
>He folds his wings up best he can, letting you press his chest to his back
>His tail is in the way though and you tell him so
>"Oh....oh right, yeah..."
>You feel it lift against you and slide around your waist
>You pull the rest of him closer
>His legs lock over yours
>He sighs happily and squeezes your hands in his
>He shimmies back a little more
>Oh god
>The scales on his rear are so smooth and soft
>How is that even possible?
>Not to mention warm, even warmer between the cheeks
>You feel your neithers begin to betray you again
>So does he
>You close your eyes and try to think of something else
>His tail pulls your waist closer and he gives his rear a slow wiggle
>...Clever dragon...
>You want to pull away but he feels so nice
>But you're not into guys...right?
>Do dragons even count?
>He gives his rear another wiggle, a little faster this time
>You speak up, your turn to be a little shakey
>You say you're not sure if you're read for this
>He pulls you a little closer with his tail
>"Don't....don't worry buddy. It's...its totally not gay if we don't look at each other....right? I'm just...we're just helping each other sleep right?"
>The pleading in his voice melts your heart a little
>You can't help but wonder how much Fizzle risked bringing you here
>And how badly he wanted you to like him
>Would it really be so terrible to let him have what he wants?
>You slowly nod in agreement against his back
>He squeezes your hands tighter and begins to run his tail between your legs
>Just another crazy night for you in the magical land of Equestria
