Fizzling Magma 9 (AiE; Fizzle's POV)

>We landed safely
>Anon and Rarity were arguing for a minute beforehand but somehow the airship barely bumped the ground
>Rarity really is a lot better at landing than she is as before-landing-landing
>She and Spike helped me move my stuff into Anon's house
>Or as Anon kept saying 'our house'
>He said 'our' a buncha times
>Kept making my chest feel all tingly and happy
>Like when he's nearby or touches me
>Especially when he calls me his best dragon
>That really...yea...
>My cheeks get all red and my heart beats all fast and...
>I try and say something but I can't
>The word gets stuck in my throat
>I swallow and then I feel better
>Cept my eyes get all teary
>Whatever its not a big deal
>Anon says we'll worry about where to put my stuff later
>Right now is waffle time!
>Still not sure what those are but Anon seems to like them
>So sure I'll like them too
>We say goodbye to Rarity and Spike
>Anon says he's gonna change real quick
>I hang out outside
>It's really nice out
>Been nighttime for a bit
>A lot cooler than the volcano
>The wind blows and I shiver some
>Anon comes back out and asks if I want a jacket or something
>I say no cause I'm not cold, just not used to the weather
>He shrugs and we start to the waffle place
>Really looking forward to this
>We walk together and Anon is chatting about getting a hot tub
>He says its no magma pool but it'll be a lot safer
>All I do is smile, I really like when he talks about stuff
>He has a nice voice too
>And really cute eyes
>Wait "cute"? Come on Fizzle, he said stop with the no homo stuff
>Not become a full blown faggot
>He still wants a dragon, not a fairy
>Straighten up and stop blushing so much
>Walk right next to him like the badass dragon you are
>Puff your chest out
>Yea, there you go!
>Badass Dragon!
>With his badass friend!
>....I'd....really like to hold his hand
>Would seem like a good thing to do on a night like this
>Maybe on the way back?
>I'll try then
>Anon points ahead
>It's the waffle place
>Wow, there are a lot of ponies there
>A lot of...couple ponies
>Mares and stallions, mares and mares and even stallions and stallions
>Wait..is Anon..?
>Did Anon take me on a date?
>Are we....dating?
>No, that's silly, he never said 'Fizzle, lets go on a date because I really like you'
>But is Anon the type to be that forward?
>Maybe he wants me to not think its a date because if I knew I'd....start clicking my claws and blushing and
doing what I'm doing right now
>Calm down, Fizzle, calm down
>Some of the ponies are looking at you now
>Anon is asking if I'm alright
>Of course I'm alright I'm with you
>...that's what I wanna say...
>Instead of...
"Y-y-yea, I'm just p-p-peachy!"
>Peachy!? What the blueberryfuck!?
>WHYAMIUSINGFRUITFORMOODS!?
>Calm down, Fizzle!
>Anon pats me on the back
>I can't stop myself from trembling when he touches me
>His hand feels so nice...
>He says to pick a table for us and he'll get the waffles
>He said 'us'
> <3
>Practically float to a table
>One outside because its more roma....roomy
>We're a lot bigger than ponies so we need more room
>That's the only reason
>The night sky and cool air are just bonuses
>Click my claws on the table
>Waiting for Anon now
>Some ponies at another table nearby
>One is blue and white with an hourglass on her butt, the other pink and purple
>I think I met the second one before when I was drinking cider with Anon
>They're looking at me
>The blue and white one waves and smiles
>I wave back
>Her friend looks me up and down and winks
>I cock my head a little, not sure what she's doing
>They both giggle and the blue one tosses a cherry at the purple one
>Ponies are really happy
>So much nicer than dragons
>Smile a little when I realize this is home now
>Anon comes out of the shop with plates filled with...something
>He puts one in front of me and takes his seat
>It's this...golden circle thing with two balls of white..something on it and I think chocolate sauce and a
cherry
>Not sure how to proceed
>Anon says to try it
>I can't say no to him
>I lean in and take a big bite
>Itssocold!!
>Try to chew but the white stuff is all over my face and its freezing!
>I think its up my nose!
>OhnoImgoingtosneeze!
>White stuff and chocolate sauce go everywhere
>And my fire breath hits the table
>I blink a few times and sniff
>Did that just happen?
>No no...I imagined it!
>No way I would do something that embarrassing on this not-date date
>Anon is wiping his face with a napkin
>The tablecloth is scorched
>Our food is soup
>A few of the nearby ponies are laughing
>Laughing at me
>It...did happen
>Oh god I need to get out of here!
>I can't believe I did that Anon is going to be so mad he's going to send me back and I--
>Wait Anon is...
>...laughing too?
>He says it's his fault and he should have warned me about ice cream
>He holds a spoon up and says using it helps
>I look down and see a clean spoon right next to my plate
>Oh...
>Umm...
"Oops? S-s-sorry?"
>I tilt my head down and smile weakly
>He's still chuckling and says not to worry about it
>He collects our messed up plates and says he'll be back with new ones
>My heart is pounding as he leaves
>I still can't believe that happened
>I'm sitting there stunned
>The blue pony from earlier throws me a napkin and says to clean my face before he gets back
>That snaps me out of it a little
>I thank her and wipe up what hasn't melted
>She smiles and says good luck
>I wonder what she means
>Before I can ask she leaves with the purple pony with fruit on her butt
>I'm waiting again, thinking about what happened
>Why did I panic?
>I nearly flew away right then and there
>I need to stop thinking Anon is mean and angryface like Garble
>He's not, he's nice and understanding and smiles a lot and wears really nice clothes and has strong arms and--
>I swallow hard and squeeze my legs together
>When did nighttime get so warm out?
>Anon comes back with just one plate
>This time he puts it in the middle of the table and hands me a spoon
>He says he only had enough bits leftover for one so we're gonna have to share
>Share?
>My cheeks are hurting I'm smiling so big
>He takes a little with his spoon and starts eating
>I copy what he does, starting from my side
>It's really good!
>Much better than when you try to eat it all at once
>The waffle is all crunchy and warm but the ice cream is all cold and creamy
>And everything is all sugary and great
>Leave it to ponies to make something like this
>He tells me between bites its vanilla ice cream with chocolate over a waffle
>He says something about how they're called Belgium where he's from but here they're just big waffles
>I smile, eat and listen
>I love when he talks to me about stuff
>Even if I have no idea what he's talking about
>He has a really nice voice, its strong but gentle at the same time
>My cheeks are a little red
>He stops and asks if I don't like it
>Oh shoot I only had like one bite then I zoned out
"N-no It's delicious!"
>I stammer and take more
>It's even better a little melty
>Like creamy diamonds with crunchy sandstone or something
>Hard to imagine it as gems
>Gems have nothing on waffles and ice cream
>Hard to chew when your face is stuck in happy mode
>Good thing ice cream doesn't need a lot of chewing
>We finish up
>Anon even let me have the cherry!
>We keep talking for a bit
>Anon mentions he wants a cup of coffee before we leave so he goes back inside
>I think I can get used to eating non-gem food
>Spike can help me find gems when I need to
>And I can fly Anon to the griffin lands when he wants meat
>We could even cook it at home if he wants
>Or get more of that beer stuff
>This is gonna work so great!
>We're gonna be so awesome!
>Anon and Fizzle, together forever
>I close my eyes and sigh
>My chest is doing that tingly thing again
>My head feels like it has cider in it
>I don't want the night to be over
>I wanna sit here and eat waffles and listen to Anon talk forever
>Why can't that be a job?
>I'd be really good at it
>Speaking of, I'm gonna need to find one
>What the heck can a dragon do in a pony village that has everything?
>Well, Anon does chores for them, maybe I could help
>Yea...yea! Anon can pick stuff up and put them down and bend over a lot and I can bring him cold drinks and
treats and....
>Stare when he takes his shirt off because its hot out and....
>Squeeze my legs together tighter
>Dammit Fizzle, why'd you have to go and think that?
>Anon is back with a to-go cup and says we can walk home now if I want
>I swallow hard and realize I can't stand up right away and ask for a few more minutes
>Anon shrugs and sits down
>Awkward silence go away!
"S-so...do you think...when you get another job I can help? S-s-so I'm not being a freeloader I mean! I know you don't really need it!"
>Anon says sure and sips his coffee
>Why do I get so nervous when I ask him stuff?
>Stop worrying so much
>But then again, being nervous has a small perk
>I can stand up again
>I tell Anon we can go now if he wants
>He smiles and nods
>A couple of the other ponies wave at us
>He waves back and I do too
"Are ponies always so...c-cute and happy?"
>Anon tells me they're like this all the time
"R-really? I shoulda...moved here sooner, heh heh"
>Anon says I'll get used to it
>Its barely been a few hours and I already have
>No wonder Spike likes this place so much
>Anon motions toward the road and I follow
>We start to walk back
>Anon is sipping his drink talking about our future hot tub
>It sounds really awesome, I can't wait to help him build it
>A stronger wind blows and I rub my arms and tremble a little
>So much for holding Anon's hand
>I'm even colder after the ice cream
>Try and think about the hot tub Fizzle
>It'll be warm and nice and you can.....oh...
>Anon put his coat on my shoulders
>He said the coffee is keeping him warm enough and I looked like I'm freezing
>I was
>He could tell I was cold
>I smile really wide
>I pull his coat around me and say thank you
>It comes out like a little squeak and I blush
>He smiles and rubs my back and says no worries
>He always knows what to say and do
>Everything is so...perfect
>I can't believe I was worried about being...err...
>Ya know
>...that thing with two dudes...
>We get to his house, Anon says he'll have to get a set keys for me in the morning
"Wh-hy, ponies are so nice you don't think they'd....st-steal?"
>Anon chuckles and says no
>But ponies love to invite themselves in and be friendly
>Sometimes a little too much too often and he likes some privacy
>Even if they're adorable about invading your space
>I nod
>I hope he never feels that way about me though
>I'm not intrusive and annoying, am I?
>W-was Anon telling me that because he wanted to tell me that without hurting my feelings?!
>I pull his coat tighter around myself
>No Fizzle, he's not like that, he just meant ponies
>Not you
>Not his best dragon
>R-right?
>The second we're inside, Anon gives me a kiss
>It wasn't a romantic kiss
>Just a peck on the lips
>It still surprised me and I freeze up
>His lips taste like his drink I think
>Like...chocolate and something roasted with milk and...sugar and....
>Perfect flavored
>He said he had a lot of fun today
>Blink
>Oh yeah yeah yeah right!  We went out!
"Y-yeah, me too!  R-roomie!"
>He nods and says roomie back
>I'm smiling again, all that worry gone
>For now anyway
>He says he's pretty tired and is gonna head to bed
"M-me too!  Yea, long day, mhm"
>I'm really not that tired I just don't know what to do with myself without him
>Besides
>Maybe if I cuddle with Anon I'll get tired
>He nods and goes to the bathroom to wash up
>I head to his room
>My chest of gems is against the wall and his bed is all made and nice
>Still a few burn marks from the last time we...
>*ahem*
>Have to squeeze my legs together again
>I don't want Anon to think I want to do that
>I mean...I do... but he looked tired
>He can decide
>I don't wanna get in his bed before him so I kinda stand there
>Fidgeting
>Looking around
>Maybe I can sit on the edge of the bed?
>Yea that's OK right?
>I sit on the very edge of the bed
>My tail refusing to lay itself on his blankets
>Not till he comes in and gets in first
>Wait, what if he doesn't wanna sleep in the same room?
>What if he comes out with pillows and a blanket and tells me the couch is comfortable
>I'm sure its comfy he wouldn't make me sleep somewhere horrible
>But any bed is horrible without Anon there
>I don't wanna sleep alone anymore
>Anon comes out of the bathroom
>He's wearing just his boxers
>My hands go right to my lap
>Anon asks if its too cold in here
>My head cocks to the side confused
>It's warm in here, really nice and cozy
>He points out I've got his jacket on still
>I didn't wanna take it off it smelt really nice and was like you were always hugging me
"Oh...Oh yea oops!  Guess I forgot about it...it's a g-great jacket! Kept me all warm and toasty!
>Anon nods and takes it from me, says Rarity made it
>I watch him go hang it up
"S-so where am I...sleeping?"
>The question hurts to ask
>But I don't want to make a mistake and--
>Anon says he doesn't care what side I take, that he sleeps on his stomach
>Sides?
>Wait he thought I meant
>What side of the bed
>The same bed he sleeps in
>We're sleeping together!
>I'm all smiles again
>I shouldn't doubt Anon, he'd never make his best dragon sleep alone
>Never in a million years, no sir!
>No more caves and hoard guarding for me!
>Anon curses under his breath
>He dropped something
>He's bending over to pick it up
>In his boxers
>They're loose but not too loose
>Just enough for my imagination to...to get me...thinking about...
>Ffffffff
>Press down harder on my lap
>Anon turns back to the bed
>Says he's gonna go to sleep and if I wanna wash up--
>I say yes and bolt into the bathroom holding my lap still
>Closethedoor
>OK OK OK
>It's ok he's seen it before what are you worried about?
>He's too tired he doesn't have time to do that
>Just...just...quickly
>In here
>Turn the water on so he can't hear what you're doing
>Don't moan either he'll think you're a freak
>But don't take too long he's gonna fall asleep and no cuddles
>QuicklyQuicklyQuickly
>Come oooooon
>Think about when Anon bent over and picked up---
>Phew...
>Ok...
>Crisis averted...
>Clean up
>Flush
>Deep breath
>OK, turn the water off, lets go to bed!
>Wash your hands first
>And splash some water on your face in case he's still wandering around almost-naked
>Anon really needs to keep clothes on if he expect me to be able to snuggle properly
>This is his fault for being so sexy in his boxer shorts
>Don't think about that
>Everything is calm now
>We can do this
>Just get under the covers and don't think of anything sexy
>Leave the bathroom
>Room is dark but dragons can see awesome in the dark
>We live in caves, ya know?
>Anon is already breathing slow and on his stomach
>He's asleep
>Stupid Fizzle, you missed cuddletime!
>I guess...I guess I can lay next to him
>Get into the bed as quietly as possible
>Lay on my back, wings tucked in, tail between my legs
>Staring at the ceiling
>Not sure if I can...cuddle with sleeping Anon
>He might not like being woken up
>Just lay here till you fall asleep
>There's a clock ticking somewhere
>Count the ticks
>That'll...
>Anon rolled over
>He's curled up against me
>Ohgodmyheartcan'ttakethis
>Take a deep breath and...
>He's nuzzling my shoulder
>Mumbling something
>I manage to get my arm around him
>He pulls me closer, wrapping his arm around my chest
>Everywhere his bare body is touching feels like electricity
>My heart is pounding out of my chest
>My breathing is all funny
>I'm living in Anon's house and he's cuddling me while he sleeps
>This is out first night...really together...
>Pull him a little closer
>He mumbles something else and gives me another squeeze
>I wanna tell him something
>It should be easier to say it while he's sleeping, right?
>Just lean over and say 'Anon, I...'
>...
>...
>...
>M-maybe tomorrow...
>Anon is still cuddling and squeezing me like a big pillow
>It's actually making me sleepy too
>I sleepily nudge his head with my muzzle
>Why is it so hard for me to just tell him?
>It's just three little words...
>It shouldn't be so difficult
>Even if he doesn't...feel that way back he wouldn't be mean to me..
>He's your best friend in the entire world
>You couldn't ruin that if you tried
>R-right?
>Give Anon a small kiss on the forehead
>He squeezes me
>You've got a good thing, Fizzle
>Don't go...messing it up...by being a faggot...
>Maybe let him...say it first
>Yea...that's a good idea
>You can wait till then
>And he's an awesome best bro forever, he wouldn't hide something like that!
>We can wait till then
>It'll be great too because then you'll say it back and all the ponies will be all happy for you and you can

tell that pink one to make a party and---
>Calm down, Fizzle...
>It'll be alright
>Sigh happily and finally settle down
>Close my eyes and drift off to sleep
>In Anon's big comfy bed
>in Anon's big comfy arms...
