- >"I-I'm sorry Anon, p-please..."
- >The young woman sinks into the couch, hiding behind her hair the best she can.
- "I am so fucking tired of your shit, Fluttershy! How many times, how many FUCKING TIMES have I told you about this?!"
- >The pink-haired girl stumbles over her words.
- >"U-uh, w-well, I just, sometimes I, I-I mean..."
- "Every fucking week you pull this shit, and every week I tell you to change. You say that you'll change, and what happens? You don't fucking change! I'm am seriously sick of your shit!"
- >You angrily pace back in forth in front of your wife.
- >When you had first met her she seemed like your dream girl.
- >She had everything you wanted in a girl.
- >Or so you thought.
- >You started dating her, and those first few months seemed like a waking dream.
- >When the first problems started to pop up, they seemed small and insignificant.
- >Nothing you couldn't handle, nothing the two of you couldn't work out, right?
- >Before you knew it, you asked her to marry you.
- >She said yes, of course.
- >Now, nearly a year on, you can't help but notice every single little flaw in character, every little error she makes.
- >And now, after year of you cleaning up after her you'd had enough.
- >So here you are, blowing up at the girl you had thought perfect once upon a time.
- >"I'm sorry..."
- "Sorry doesn't fix anything, Shy."
- >She gives a soft whimper.
- >You sigh.
- "I've had enough of this today. I'll see you later."
- >You walk towards the front door, grabbing your coat on the way.
- >"What? Wait, Anon! Please don't leave!"
- >You ignore her pleas and walk out.
- >She doesn't follow.
- >The drive does little to calm you.
- >You make your way to your favorite bar.
- >You waste no time in ordering the strongest liquor they have.
- >The haze slowly begins to descend upon you, a welcoming anesthetic to the stresses you carry with you.
- >Why did it have to be so hard?
- >Why did everything she did infuriate you?
- >Are you just short-tempered?
- >Impatient?
- >A part of you wants to say yes, but another part says no.
- >A year you've had to deal with this.
- >A year you've seen her make mistake after mistake.
- >A year spent needing to follow after her, fixing what she broke.
- >That payments you needed to make?
- >The ones she said she would take care of?
- >Late, again.
- >Remember how you told her to talk with the agency to clear up some issues they had with your paperwork?
- >Sure, she went, but ended up forgetting half what she needed to say and barely managed to stumble through the rest.
- >It's like she was scared of people, for crissakes!
- >She barely manages to get the groceries right, always getting the wrong stuff, forgetting stuff you needed, buying stuff you didn't.
- >And good god, the animals!
- >Sometimes you felt she cared for the animals more than she did you!
- >It was all enough to drive a man to drink.
- >And sure enough, here you were.
- >As engrossed as you were in your woes, you don't immediately notice the person sitting next to you.
- >"Hey, come here often?"
- >The sudden appearance of your companion barely manages to startle you.
- "Wha?"
- >You turn to face the person who so rudely interrupted your brooding.
- >And she is something.
- >Beautiful golden eyes, like amber.
- >Long braided hair, matching her eyes.
- >An easy, relaxed smile gracing her finely proportioned face.
- >Her clothes weren't exactly the type you'd expect a girl to wear when out on the town, being modest and practical, but it was nice looking nonetheless.
- >"See something you like?"
- >You must have been staring at her longer than you thought, because she smirks at you.
- "Oh, sorry, I'm a little out of it right now."
- >She waves her hand dismissively.
- >"Don't worry about it, happens to the best of us."
- >A few quiet moments pass, you turning back to your drink and her quietly looking at you.
- >"Oh, where are my manners, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Lightning Dust."
- "I'm Anon. I don't think I've seen you here before. You come here often?"
- >"Nah, I'm new in town. Just moved here from Cloudsdale. Job market isn't really looking good over there, you know?"
- "Yeah, I heard about that. You found a job yet?"
- >"Yup, and a better paying one than the one I had! I have an apartment, all my affairs are in order, only thing left to do is to meet new people."
- "I'd say you're doing well on that front."
- >She let's out a chuckle.
- >"Yeah, I would too."
