- >Through the years you watched your son grow
- >And with him his happiness and joy
- >In particular for Lavender Mirage
- >Those two were inseparable
- >Lavender probably saw Caesar more than you did
- >But that was okay
- >He was growing into a young adult, and he couldn't be around you all the time
- >You were his father, after all
- >As you watched him grow bigger and stronger
- >You watched yourself grow older and weaker
- >Going from being his hero to annoying father
- >It was only a matter of time before he accepted you
- >You knew that
- >But saying it wasn't difficult would be a blatant lie
- >One particular morning you were happy
- >But you also felt a slight twinge of sadness in your heart
- >Mixed emotions coursing through your body as you walked quietly into his room
- >Luna levitating breakfast alongside the two of you
- >Caesar is snoring loudly
- >His room is a mess as always
- >Scrolls, books, and clothes piled eveywhere available
- >It looks like someone nuked the place
- >You watch him for a little while
- >Your son, finally a man
- >Turning your head to Luna, you mouth a "1, 2, 3"
- "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you!
- >Caesar nearly jumps out of his bed
- >His eyes are wild and his mouth soaked in drool
- >"Wha- Who?"
- >As you continue singing away, Caesar yawns loudly
- >"It's like seven in the morning. What are you doing?"
- >He looks like he could fall asleep at any minute
- >Like a volatile concoction being shaken violently
- "Happy birthday dear Caesar!"
- >Caesar is giving both of you a deadpan stare as you sing
- "Happy birthday to you!"
- >Luna hands him his breakfast
- >It seems to lighten him up just a tad
- >As he's munching away on pancakes you stand there
- >He's a man now
- >Eighteen years old
- >He can do whatever he pleases
- "Look at you. All grown up. Time flies, huh?"
- >"Sure does, dad."
- >Caesar doesn't even look at you when he speaks
- >He's too lost in his food
- >"Oh, I remember when you were just a little satyr."
- >Luna's already starting
- >Just like she does every year
- >She's got tears in her eyes
- >Caesar sighs heavily
- >"Mom, come on, not again."
- >"But look at you! You're a man now! Oh, I'm so proud!"
- >You can't help but snicker as Caesar sighs once more
- "So, what do you wanna do today, son? Now you can do anything you want."
- >Caesar looks up to you and shrugs
- >"I dunno. Lavender invited me over for the evening. I think I'll go to her place."
- >Although you were happy he had her, you feel a slight twinge of sadness hit you
- >You had looked forward to spending the day with your son
- >It had been a long time since you just hung out
- >All you really want to do is tell him
- >Say to him you love him and want to spend time with him
- >But as you open your mouth to speak, you can't
- >All that enters your mind is frustration
- >You just want to tell him
- >But that knot in your throat is stopping you
- >Anger rises in your body
- >Why couldn't he just spend time with you, damn it
- >Without thinking you strike out at him
- >You accidentally hit him right in the nuts
- "How DARE you not want to spend time with your father!"
- >Caesar falls sideways onto his bed
- >Not a single scream of pain leaves his throat
- >His eyes water up and he whimpers
- >"Anon, what in the world are you doing?!"
- >Luna puts a hoof on your shoulder
- >You snap out of it and look at your son
- "Holy shit, I'm sorry, Caesar."
- >He opens his mouth to speak
- >But all that comes out is a quiet groan
- "I don't know what came of me. I'm so sorry."
- >You place your arms around him and hug him tightly
- >He's still cupping his groin and therefore doesn't return it
- >"You're an ass, dad", he whispers
- >Although he's in pain, you hear a slight giggle in his words
- >With a trembling arm he punches you back
- >It doesn't hurt at all
- >But he did his best
- >After a few minutes of cupping his sore groin, Caesar finally speaks
- >"All right, dad. Let's spend some time together."
- >The happiness that enters your body is almost as much as when he was born
- >It nearly brings a tear to your eye hearing him say those words
- >Luna giggles in the background and leaves the room
- >You sit down on Caesar's bed next to him
- >For a moment the two of you just sit there
- >Father and son
- >Sharing a comfortable silence together
- "So."
- >"So."
- >Caesar looks to you and smiles
- "How are things going with Lavender?"
- >He looks to the floor and nods
- >"Good, good. Everything is great, really."
- >You find yourself nodding as well
- "That's good. So, you're eighteen now."
- >"Yup."
- "That means you can go drinking."
- >Caesar's eyes suddenly light up
- >As if the mysteries of the universe had just been revealed to him
- >"You're RIGHT! I can go drinking! This is awesome!"
- >He gets up from his bed and starts pacing back and forth in his room
- >"Oh, wow! I can go to parties and everything!"
- >He reminds you a lot of yourself
- >The same reactions to the same situations
- >Hopefully he would fare better at the social games involved
- >Not that he needed to, having a girlfriend already
- >Suddenly he snaps his fingers and looks at you
- >"I should totally host a party here in the castle."
- >That's actually not a half bad idea
- >The castle was enormous
- >Perfect place for a party
- "We'll do it tonight."
- >Caesar's eyes go wide for just a moment
- >A brief moment of happiness and joy
- >But his stare quickly meets the ground
- >An awkward smile on his lips
- >"I'd love to dad, but, Lavender is more important. I'd rather spend time with her."
- >Your heart drops a few floors in your body
- "Oh."
- >That's all you can manage
- >Speaking to your son has become difficult
- >Like you're not good enough at it
- >"But maybe we could do it another day?"
- >Caesar has a small smile on his lips
- >It's a genuine smile, though
- >One of sincerity
- >You really wanted to do this today, though
- >This was his birthday, after all
- >And you really wanted to spend time with him
- >Show him you could be a fun dad too
- "Tonight is better, don't you think? It's your birthday after all. Your eighteenth, too. That doesn't come along often."
- >Caesar takes the words to heart
- >He puts a hand underneath his chin
- >Pondering the suggestion
- "We can even have the royal guards deliver express invitations."
- >Caesar nods slowly as you speak
- >Taking in all of your words
- >Processing them in his mind
- >"I did promise Lavender I'd be there tonight, though."
- >You stand up and chuckle
- "So invite her! I'm sure she'd enjoy a good party, too."
- >Caesar bites his lower lip as he thinks
- >You can see the battle raging inside his mind
- >After a few moments of back and forth inside his mind, he finally speaks
- >"Oh, all right! Let's do it!"
- >You really have to stop yourself from fist pumping
- >Caesar told you you were too old for that
- "All right! I'll get on it right away."
- >"Thanks, dad. You're the best."
- >Caesar holds up his fist
- >You bump your fist into his and chuckle
- >You ruffle your boy's hair and chuckle
- >"Dad, come on."
- >You just leave the room with a smile on your face
- >Luna is reading some ancient tome
- >You tried to learn the languages of old, but it proved near impossible
- >Even with Luna as your mentor it was tough
- >Sometimes she would read to you from the tomes and scrolls
- >There were quite a lot of interesting stories and spells in there
- >For now, you leave her to her reading
- >You walk into the hall and find the nearest guard
- "Hey, could you do me a favor?"
- >"Sir, yes sir!"
- >You sigh and shake your head
- >These guards never stopped that shit
- "At ease. Look, I just want you to gather up the guards and send out invites to the students at Celestia's school, all right?"
- >The guard shoots you a confused look
- >"Invites?"
- >You smile widely at him
- "Yeah, I'm hosting a party for my son's birthday. I want you to invite everyone from the senior classes here."
- >The guard nods once
- >"Yes, sir."
- >You swear, one of these days you'd strangle these guards
- "Oh, and make sure to send a special invite to Lavender Mirage. One that grants her access to restricted areas of the castle."
- >Before he can protest, you add
- "On order of the husband of Luna."
- >He just nods again and salutes
- >You sigh as he runs off to fetch the other guards
- >"Honey, are we having a party? In the castle?"
- >Luna almost scares the shit out of you
- >She could be sneaky sometimes
- "Indeed, faggot. The biggest, faggotry party ever."
- >Luna smiles at you and giggles
- >"I haven't been to a party in so long. It's going to be fun."
- >She gives you a quick peck on the cheek and goes back inside to her reading
- >That night, the castle was bustling with life
- >More life than it had seen in a long, long time
- >Music was blasting through the corridors and hallways
- >Ponies were dancing, chatting, and drinking
- >Although the party had only been going for 30 minutes, some ponies were already puking
- >You were glad you didn't have to clean that mess up
- >Lavender had luckily come to the party happy and excited
- >She had forgotten all about the planned dated
- >She wasn't drinking, though
- >Not that much, at least
- >Granted, she didn't seem much like the party type
- >But she seemed cheerful enough tonight
- >"Hey, dad!"
- >Caesar taps you on the shoulder
- >You turn around and see him standing there
- >Smiling, an arm around Lavender
- >"Thanks for doing this. It's great!"
- "You're welcome kiddo."
- >You give your son a fist bump
- "Enjoying this faggotry, Lavender, dear?"
- >She smiles polietly at you
- >"Well, I haven't seen the castle like this before. It's quite the experience."
- >Something about what she said makes you laugh heartily
- >It was strange seeing these two together
- >So very much alike, yet so very different
- "Go out and enjoy yourselves."
- >Both of them nod before turning to leave
- >You grab a hold of Caesar and whisper in his ear
- "Don't forget to show her the restricted areas."
- >A sly smile creeps upon your lips
- >Caesar sighs
- >"Yeah, dad, I will."
- >He's smiling as he speaks, though
- >You pat his back twice and let him off
- >Watching the two of them walk away, you feel proud
- >For a moment you just stand there
- >Feeling like a great and awesome dad
- >A tug at your legs snap you out of it
- >You turn to face a brown mare
- >She's one of Caesar's classmates
- >"H-hey there! Great par-party! Woo!"
- >She's swaying on all four legs
- >It'd probably be a good idea for her to slow down on the drinking
- >"W-wanna hang out with me and my friends?"
- >A vulgar burp escapes her mouth at the end of the sentence
- >Apparently that's hilarious to drunk ponies
- >Because she laughs like a blithering moron
- >You smile politely at the young mare
- "No thank you. I'm sure there's other ponies out there who'd love to join you, though."
- >The mare just shrugs and goes off
- >Most ponies here are way too young for you to talk to
- >Granted, you'd like to be young again
- >But you just weren't
- >So instead of wasting your time talking to drunk teenagers, you go in search of your wife
- >You have to wade through a sea of singing, drinking ponies
- >It almost feels like you're sailing on the seven seas
- >After snailing your way around the castle for ten minutes, you see your wife in the hallway
- >She's talking to some guards who are off duty
- >A bottle of spirits in her hoof
- >Luna didn't drink often
- >But once she did, she went all out
- >You wonder how she's even having fun with only teenagers here
- >She is a lot older than them, after all
- >Luna turns her head as you approach her
- >Her cheeks are red and her eyes hazy
- >"Heeey, sweetie! We were just talking about you!"
- >Oh, this couldn't be good
- "You were?"
- >Already you feel nervous
- >Luna needed to shut up sometimes
- >Especially when she was drunk
- >"Yeah! It's like, have you noticed you walk on two legs?"
- >She clearly had more to drink than you realised
- >"It's so weird! How, how do you even stay up?"
- >Actually trying to reply would be futile
- >So instead, you try to outwit her
- "Aren't you the moon? How do you stay awake?"
- >Luna opens her mouth to speak
- >And she just lets her jaw hang there
- >She raises her eyebrow high on her face
- >"That's... woooow... I don't knoooow!"
- >With a thump, her ass hits the ground
- >She's staring into nothing
- >Trying to crack the question you asked
- >It must be tough for the poor mare
- >Intoxicated and trying to solve the mysteries of herself
- >You chuckle at your stumped wife and grab her hoof
- "Come on, let's go have fun."
- >"That sounds fun!"
- >You swear Luna was like a schoolgirl when she got drunk
- >But it was endearing in away
- >To see a millenea old ruler act like this
- >You drag her drunk self through the castle until you get away from the music
- >Not before grabbing a bottle of whiskey for yourself, though
- >You decide on going to the observatory
- >It's beautiful and quiet
- >A nice place for the two of you to relax
- >Luna just sits on a coushion and looks at you
- >You take a large swig of the whiskey
- >It's damn good whiskey
- >"Hey, hey, Anon?"
- >You smile at your wife
- >"What do you think they're doing? You know. Car... Cei... Our son and Lavender?"
- >With a chuckle you take another swig
- "I'll leave that up to your imagination, dear."
- >Luna's eyes go wide
- >Wider than you've ever seen them go
- >Although her cheeks were already red from drinking, you can clearly see her blushing
- >Slowly her wings begin to stiffen
- >You watch in awe
- >Complete and utter awe
- >When her wings stand at full attention, she speaks
- >"That's hot."
- >You roar in laughter at her words
- >The entire room is being filled with your heartwarming laughter
- >Luna just sits there, staring into nothingness
- >Her blush continues intensifying
- >You really don't want to know what she's thinking in this instant
- >Slowly you feel warmth spread in your body
- >While the whiskey is great, it's also very potent
- >You feel a drunken haze claiming you
- >All the while watching your wife get off on strange thoughts
- >Your laughter quickly dies down as you hear muffled voices
- >Luna perks her ears up
- >Listening intently
- >The voices are getting louder and louder
- >It's definitely Caesar and Lavender
- >They're coming right for the room you're in
- "Quick, hide!"
- >Luna instantly gets up and looks around
- >There's no hiding spot for a pony of her size
- >You can see the panic in her eyes for a brief moment
- >But that panic is soon replaced by a giggle
- >With a woosh her horn glows brightly
- >And in the blink of an eye she's gone
- >Despite her drunken state, her magical prowess doesn't falter
- >You her hear go to a corner in her invisible state
- >You simply have to make do and hide behind a pile of old books
- >The door opens and in walks Caesar and Lavender
- >They're laughing warmly and chatting away
- >Both of them get coushins and sit down in the middle of the room
- >"I'm so glad we could get some alone time."
- >Lavender sounds a little too happy
- >"The party's great, but I came here for you."
- >"Oh yeah?"
- >You could almost feel the vomit creeping up your throat
- >"Mhmmm."
- >Oh, God, Lavender is leaning in
- >Oh, Jesus, she's on top of him
- >Within mere moments they are engaged in a passionate make out session
- >You'd love nothing more than to get out
- >But Luna's invisible and can't teleport you out without them noticing
- >So you will just have to wait it out
- >And for half an hour you wait
- >Watching your son making out with his girlfriend
- >For some reason you can't keep your eyes off them
- >It's strangely... arousing
- >No, what the fuck is wrong with you
- >It's your son
- >But you can't help it
- >The liquor is changing you
- >Making you enjoy this act of passion and love
- >Finally they stop
- >"Let's go."
- >Both of them leave the room
- >With a sigh of relief, you call out to Luna
- "All right, we can get out now."
- >She doesn't show herself
- "Luna?"
- >You look around for her
- >Which was quite a stupid move on your part
- >Seeing the invisible isn't exactly easy
- "Luna, come on."
- >She replies with a moan
- >A quiet, passionate moan
- "... Luna? What are you doing? Where are you?"
- >With a woosh, she finally appears
- >She's lying on her back
- >A hoof between her thighs
- >Rubbing away at her marehood with passion and speed
- >Her tongue is hanging out of her mouth
- >Her eyes have rolled up in the back of her skull
- >Although you find it revolting that she's doing this, it's strangely arousing
- >She notices you staring and spreads her legs further apart
- >"Do you... like it, dear?"
- >She's pulling all the right strings
- >In your intoxicated state it takes you mere seconds to get hard
- >"Mmmh."
- >Luna's voice is sweet and gentle
- >Like she got a thousand years younger
- >Realising there is no fighting this, you drop your pants
- >As you move closer, Luna smiles
- >Just as you are about to position yourself, the door slams open
- >"Ooh, my head."
- >You stare in disbelief
- >Celestia
- >Fucking Celestia
- >Again
- >She looks from you to Luna
- >Back and forth
- >"Luna, come on. At least keep it in the bedroom. Go away, I need privacy. The castle keeps spinning."
- >With speed no man have ever known, you get your pants back on
- >Shame in your heart, you exit the room with Luna
- >She's just giggling away
- "I'm going to kill you Luna, and nobody will ever find out."
- >You glare daggers at your wife
- >She could at least have waited until you were in your bedroom
- >But no, she had to get it on right there
- >God damn it
- >Luna just keeps giggling
- >Your going is aching
- >Boner is still at full capacity
- >It's aching for release
- >Little by little you pick up the pace
- >Until you are almost running through the hallways
- "I swear, I will murder you, Luna."
- >Every time you say something to her, she just smiles slyly
- >It's pissing you off to no end
- >That mare is going to get dicked so hard she doesn't even know
- >Instead of going to your bedroom, which is no doubt full of drunk ponies, you go to a guest room down the hall
- >Luna unlocks the door with her magic and opens the door
- "Get in."
- >You have no patience for this shit
- >As soon as you enter, you relock the door and get your clothes off
- >"Anon, please be gentle."
- >Luna shoots you a cocky smile
- >Doing the puppy eyes
- >You have no patience for this shit
- >With all of your might, you push her onto the bed
- >You get up behind her and pull her rump up to you
- >"Oh, Anon, not so rough."
- >She looks back to you
- >That shit-eating grin still plastered on her stupid face
- "Say, my little faggot. Caesar will soon leave the castle to explore the world. Should we give him a sister?"
- >You don't give her time to reply
- >With one swift motion you thrust your dick into her soaking wet pussy
- >You bury it balls deep inside her
- >So very far inside her
- >Luna screams out in surprise and pleasure
- >Wasting no time with teasing or foreplay, you start slamming her snatch
- >Pounding her harder than ever before
- >Your balls slapping against her slit
- >With a free hand you grab her mane and pull it back
- >With the other you spank her ass repeatedly
- >Luna is gurgling out moans
- >Her tongue is hanging limply out of her mouth
- >With furious anger you slam her silly
- >Plowing her with your dick
- >Using her as your personal masturbatory toy
- >Despite her age and having given birth, she is still tight as ever
- >And the way her insides stretch and shrink as you continually slam her feels godlike
- >After a few minutes you let go of her mane
- >Her head slams into the pillow
- >She really picks up the moaning
- >It's drowning out every sound in the castle
- >It feels satisfying, using her like this
- >Dominating her like the whore she is
- >You feel a rush of adrenaline shoot through you
- >The power makes you feel like a king
- >Like you can do anything you want to
- >You give her ass an extra hard spank
- >It sends a shiver through her body
- >And that shiver turns into full on spasms
- >Luna comes with the loudest moan ever heard
- >Spraying her juices all over your dick
- >You don't slow down in the slightest
- >In fact, you pick up speed and pound her faster
- >Her moaning reaches eardrum-crushing levels
- >But you don't care
- >She is going to get it, and she is going to get it good
- >You pound into her so hard she collapses on the bed
- >A particularly long and loud moan escapes her throat
- >But as it dies down, you see Luna's eyes close
- >Her body goes limp as you pound into her
- >Massaging your dick with her tight cunt
- >You keep thrusting ferociously into her limp body
- >Not caring that she does not make a sound
- >She is yours to use and yours alone
- >Even though she has fainted, you continue spanking her
- >And as you realise just what you've done
- >You made your wife faint from taking your dick
- >Just the thought of it makes you get close to release
- >And as you spank her one final time you come
- >With such vigor and fury you have never seen before
- >You bury your dick deep inside her cunt and fill her up
- >Making sure she takes every last drop
- >Drinks it all up with her greedy pussy
- >Panting and sweating, you admire your work
- >As you look at your fainted wife, dick buried inside her, the door slams open
- >You don't even have to turn around
- >You can already feel the anger
- >"What's going on?! Luna was screaming!"
- "Celestia. Get. The. Fuck. Out."
- >You don't bother to look at her
- >You just wait for her to leave
- >"Looks like you did good."
- >Celestia snickers before finally leaving the room
- >With a sigh of relief and pleasure, you pull out of Luna
- >Some of your seed drips out of her
- >You move the sheets so she doesn't get it on her fur
- >With care you pull the sheets over her body
- >You make sure to really tuck her into bed properly
- >As if she was your child
- >After giving her a peck on the cheek, you go to the bathroom to clean up
- >You take a quick shower and get dressed
- >In the distance you can hear the party going on
- >Since you aren't tired in the slightest, you decide to go back
- >Just to check what everyone is doing
- >And how badly damaged your home is
- >As you're walking down the halls, you see ponies sleeping
- >Some are making out
- >Others are being cared for, sick as they are
- >Just like any other party, really
- >According to the volume coming from inside your home, you can tell the party is still going strong
- >It had only been two hours, too
- >Just as you're about to enter, you hear something faint
- >Something fragile in the distance
- >A faint crying
- >It sounds horrible
- >Tearing your heart apart
- >Instead of going into your home, you pursue the crying
- >You get a ways away from the party
- >Looking around for the source of the sound
- >It takes you a while to find the room from which it comes
- >You gently knock on the door and open it
- >Inside it you see a pony
- >A familiar pony bawling her eyes out
- >Lavender Mirage is a mess
- >Completely broken down
- >"L-L-Leave m-me al-alone."
- >Despite her protests, you go inside
- >Making sure to close and lock the door, you walk over to her
- >"G-go away."
- >Her face is buried in her hooves
- >You sit down next to her
- >With a hand you gently start stroking her mane
- >You don't speak, you simply comfort her slowly
- >Make her calm down little by little
- >Her intensive crying eventually turns to sobs
- >When you feel she's ready, you finally ask
- "Lavender, what's wrong?"
- >You already know what she's going to say
- >And it breaks your heart to know
- >But she has to say it herself
- >Get it out of her system
- >"C-Caesar broke up w-with me."
- >You sigh lightly
- >This was expected
- >Only Caesar could make this mare cry like this
- >Inside your chest, your heart sinks down into your stomach
- >Instead of pressing on, you simply stroke her mane
- >She needs to go on at her own pace
- >"H-he never w-wants to see m-me again."
- >The tears return once more
- >She isn't quite done yet
- >And so she cries
- >Her pleading heart letting out all her sorrow
- "I'll go talk to him, okay, Lavender?"
- >You pat her head gently before getting up to leave
- >"N-no, please."
- >Lavender looks up to you with broken eyes
- >"It's m-my fault. I... I che-cheated on him."
- >Her eyes plead for mercy
- >Beg of you to stay
- >To hold her just a little longer
- >However much you want to comfort her, she made a mistake
- >And no amount of hugging will change that
- "Look, we all make mistakes. But you broke the trust he had for you. His faith and loyalty. I doubt he'll change his mind."
- >Lavender does her very best to hold back the tears as you speak
- "I'll talk to him. Tell him how I found you. How sorry you are. But I can't do anything about this situation. You will have to deal with this yourself."
- >The challenge proves too hard for Lavender
- >She's hulking as she watches you
- >Still pleading silently
- >Wanting nothing more than for you to fix everything
- >Make everything good again
- >But you are no magician
- >You are but a man
- >And Lavender has done something that may never be forgiven
- "I want nothing more than for the two of you to be happy. Hopefully together. But I cannot help you. I do hope you succeed, though."
- >Lavender hides her head in her hooves once more
- >You sit down next to her again
- "I can stay, if you like. Nobody deserves to be alone with their problems."
- >Without a word she flings her hooves around your waist
- >Burying her face in your shirt
- >You put your arm around her and rub her side
- "There, there."
- >"I-I'm so sorry! P-Please, Anon! I-I love Ca-Caesar!"
- >Her hulking continues relentlessly
- >Your shirt is drenched with the mare's sorrow
- >You want to help
- >You truly do
- >But there is nothing you can do for her
- >Lavender keeps crying
- >Like a broken dam the tears keep coming
- >No matter what you do or say, she doesn't stop
- >This mare is lost to her sorrow
- >There is nothing you can do for her
- "I'll go talk to Caesar. If you want to, you can stay."
- >"P-please, don't l-leave."
- >You gently nudge yourself out of her grasp
- "This is for the best."
- >Lavender simply collapses on the floor, her crying knowing no bounds
- >With a slight twinge of guilt, you leave the room
- >As you walk down the halls, you feel the emptiness consume you
- >Ponies are dancing and singing all around you
- >But you can barely hear them
- >All you want is your son
- >Walking around, you see him nowhere
- >You spend ten minutes looking for him
- >But he is nowhere to be seen
- >Eventually, you grab a hold of a mare
- >She points you towards the gardens
- >You know exactly where he is
- >Into the cold night air you go
- >Into the gardens
- >They are beautiful
- >Exquisite
- >But its beauty is not what you are here for
- >You go to hedge off to the side
- >Behind it sits your son
- >He's gently stroking the ground
- >That very same spot
- >You remember it all too well
- >Silently, you walk up behind him
- >He isn't sobbing, nor crying
- >He's just sitting there
- >Gently running his fingers through the grass
- "Hey, kiddo."
- >"... Hey, dad."
- >Without touching him you sit down
- >The two of you sit there
- >Father and son
- >Caesar doesn't say a word
- >He just keeps stroking the grass
- "So. What happened?"
- >Not taking his eyes off the spot on the ground, Caesar replies
- >"Lavender cheated on me."
- >You nod slightly
- "Yeah. I found her crying alone."
- >"She deserves it."
- >As gently as you can, you put your hand on his back
- "Nobody deserves that, Caesar. Not even her."
- >"Yes she does. I loved her, dad."
- >Caesar's voice is calm
- >Collected
- >But there is a hint of anger deep within him
- >Hiding, waiting to strike
- >"I loved her more than anything. I would have done anything for her."
- "I know, son."
- >You stroke your son's back lovingly
- >Trying to warm his heart even just slightly
- >"I gave her everything. For five years, dad. She used me."
- >You try to make eye contact with Caesar
- >But it's impossible
- >His eyes are blank
- >Not staring at anything physical
- "She didn't use you. She made a mistake. But you have every right to be angry."
- >Finally he looks to you
- >And as his eyes return to the mortal plane
- >You see nothing but spite and sorrow in them
- >"She used me. She took everything I ever gave her and broke it. Right in front of my eyes. I never want to see her again. Ever."
- >With those words, he stares at you
- >For a moment he just stares
- >Makes sure you know
- >Makes sure you see his suffering
- >When he is done, he gets up
- >He walks away, leaving you alone in the grass
- >Walking slowly through the gardens
- >Now your eyes are plastered to the spot
- >That very same spot where their love began
- >And you feel the rage
- >The anger, remorse, and fury
- >It wells up within you
- >Threatening to turn you into a monster
- >You reach out to touch the grass
- >Your hands are shaking
- >Trembling uncontrollably
- >As your fingertips touch the grass, it gets too much
- >You rips the grass out of the ground and get up
- >With anger blinding your path, you walk straight back into the castle
- >Straight back to Lavender
- >You shove ponies out of your way
- >You don't care about a single one of them
- >It's all about Lavender
- >You storm back into the room
- >She is still sitting there
- >Her eyes wet
- >Finally void of tears
- "Okay, you're going to explain yourself, right now!"
- >Lavender flinches and whimpers
- "NOW!"
- >You yell louder than you meant to
- >But it doesn't matter
- >"I-It just happened! I-I didn't m-mean for it t-to happen! I w-was drunk a-and there was t-this stallion!"
- >Her voice is a mess of sorrow and anguish
- >Still she sobs after all this time
- >"I-I'm sorry! P-Please, Anon! I-I didn't mean it!"
- >You shake your head violently and snap out of it
- >You're yelling at a mare filled with grief and sorrow
- >This isn't the man you wanted to be
- >Without a word you turn and leave the room
- >Better that than create more problems
- >You needed help
- >You desperately needed to talk to an adult
- >Luna
- >Almost running through the halls, you reach the guest room in less than three minutes
- >You slam the door open
- >It startles the poor mare
- >"Wha- Huh?!"
- >Her breathing is quick and sharp
- >She quickly notices you
- >"Anon! What's going on?"
- >Once you're actually inside, you slump onto the bed
- >You can feel the tears creeping in the corner of your eyes
- "Lavender cheated on Caesar."
- >Darkness replaces your vision as you bury your face in your hands
- >A gentle hoof strokes your back
- >"Why in the world would she do that? Oh, poor Caesar."
- "She was drunk. It was a mistake. But Caesar... He's furious. I haven't seen him like this ever."
- >You stop fighting and let the tears slide into your hands
- >"Anon, there's nothing you can do. You can't fix everyone's problems. Caesar will have to figure this one out on his own."
- >You're actually sobbing now
- >But you don't care
- "I just want to help, Luna. I want my son to be happy."
- >"I know, Anon."
- >She wraps you in her hooves
- >Sharing all of her love with you
- >"Come on, Anon."
- >Luna gently pushes you up
- >"Let's go find Caesar."
- >You just nod and slump alongside your wife
- >The two of you walk slowly throughout the castle
- >It's getting quiet now
- >Ponies are going home
- >Maybe continuing the party elsewhere
- >Maybe Caesar sent them away
- >It doesn't matter
- >But the silence is nice
- >Relieving in a way
- >You just want the good old life back
- >A happy Caesar and a fantastic wife
- >Your home is a mess
- >There's bottles and glasses everywhere
- >But that's not a problem
- >So long as you have your wife and your son
- >Everything will be fine
- >You go to the door leading to Caesar's room
- >Luna gently knocks
- >"Please, leave me alone."
- >She opens it up anyway
- >He's sitting in his bed
- >Staring out the window
- >Staring out at the night sky
- >The two of you stand next to him
- >All three of you simply stand there
- >As if telepathic, you and Luna lean down at the same time
- >Hugging your son tightly
- >He doesn't react in the slightest
- >But even if he doesn't care, you do
- >It feels good to hug
- >Hugging is good
- >It makes the pain fade away
- >Hopefully it does the same for Caesar
- >You don't know how much time passes
- >But you never want it to end
- >You have your son and your wife
- >Caesar eventually moves his arms
- >Wraps them around the two of you
- >Hugging you tighter than ever before
- >And his arms they tremble
- >Caesar finally lets tears fall to the floor
- >Let's all of it out
- >All the while hugging you and your wife
- >With gentle movements you stroke Caesar's back
- >Although he might be crying, you know it's helping
- "Would you like to get a chance to see Lavender?"
- >Caesar sniffs and sobs
- >"N-Not right now."
- >You keep stroking his back
- "All right."
- >Caesar finally breaks completely
- >He tosses himself at you
- >Buries his face in your shoulders
- >Letting open the floodgates
- >You put a hand on his head
- "It's gonna be okay, Caesar."
- >"I l-loved her, d-dad."
- >You gently rock from side to side as he cries
- >Letting loose his sorrow upon the world
- "I know you did."
- >"I loved her", he whispers
- >Luna is watching the two of you
- >Tears are gently streaming down her cheeks
- >All you do is hold your boy tight and rocking from side to side
- >"It's n-not fair."
- "It's not your fault."
- >"I lo-loved her."
- "It's not your fault."
- >"She s-said she l-loved me t-too."
- "Caesar, it's not your fault."
- >Finally he breaks
- >Finally he screams
- >As he's wanted to for so long
- >"I LOVED HER!"
- >Gently, so very gently, you stroke his hair
- "I know, Caesar. And it's not your fault."
- >You sit there for what feels like hours
- >Hugging him tightly
- >He almost crushes you in his grip
- >Never wanting to let go
- >You lean back and out of the hug
- >Caesar reluctantly lets go and looks you in the eye
- >The pain hits you immediately and hard
- >His eyes hurt you in places you never knew you could hurt
- >But instead of dwelling on the sorrow, you speak to him
- "Come on. Let's go somewhere else."
- >He doesn't protest
- >He just follows you as you exit the room
- >Luna stays behind, stil crying
- >Through the empty halls you go
- >No sounds except for your footsteps fill the air
- >All the way to the stairs you go
- >And all the way up the stairs you walk
- >You hold open the door for your son
- >As he looks around the observatory, a small smile appears on his face
- >He goes to the globes on the table
- >With a gentle hand he spins them, one by one
- >Just as he did when he was just a kid
- >For a while he walks around
- >Simply enjoying the objects he always loved
- >The things he forgot existed
- >And he smiles
- >A weak, tainted smile
- >But a smile nonetheless
- >With a hand on the telescope, he turns his head to you
- >"Why did you bring me here, dad?"
- >Finally feeling the happiness return
- >After what feels so long
- >You can finally return his smile
- "To see if it would make you feel better. And I think it worked."
- >"Heh."
- >With slow steps you walk over to your son
- >You put your hand on his shoulder and look him right in the eye
- "I just want you to be happy. That is the only thing I want."
- >Caesar puts his hand on yours
- "I can't bear to see you like before. I just want you to be happy."
- >"I know, dad."
- >No, he doesn't know
- >He doesn't understand
- >He never truly will
- >Not until he has kids of his own one day
- >Until then, he will never understand how you feel
- "There's going to be rough days ahead. But remember this: I'm always here. No matter what. I'm your father, and I promise to always be there for you. I promise."
- >Of his own accord, Caesar moves in
- >Showing his love for you with a hug
- >"I know you will. And that's why I love you."
- >You put your chin on his head and stare out the window
- "I'll always be here. And so will your mother. Always."
