Good Old Rainbro Part 2

Continuation of part one.

>Your tired ass finally gets back from the long walk to ponyville.
>Feels real bad man.
>You pack away the extra pillow and blanket and head upstairs for your bed.
>Out like a light as soon as you fall on it.
>Wake up in the night feeling like… you can’t do it kid.
>Go downstairs and reheat the leftovers from the night before.
>While sitting there, you start thinking back on everything.
>All those blushes, the leaning against you during movies, the stress of being around you and not being able to do anything even though she wanted to.
>Must be why her wings are getting all tense around you all the time.
>But you’re still not into p0nies that way, so this could get very awkward.
>With your meal over and you done cleaning up, you retreat into the living room.
>Turn on the TV for some background noise while you continue to think things over.
>How will you hang with your Rainbro now knowing what you know.
>All those things in the past week that AJ was saying, that didn’t make any sense. They do now.
>Then it hits you like a ton of bricks. Your godsend, the easy way out.
>Just deny that last night ever happened. Pretend that nothing has changed.

>The only issue is, hanging out with Rainbow will still be weird.
>You’ll have to be on your guard at all times. Even if she is your best bro, it doesn’t mean she won’t try anything with you like AJ did.
>This makes you realize that you have to watch how much you drink around her.
>Now that you think about it, why didn’t Rainbow just team up with AJ in the cellar instead of tricking her.
>Whatever, guess that’s one positive to look at in this whole mess.
>Alright, the plan is to deny and stay on guard around your bro.
>Now that that is out of the way, it’s time to go for your daily run that you missed this morning.
>When you open up the door, you find Rainbow flying in front of it.
>Kinda didn’t want to deal with this shit for the rest of the night.
>”Oh hey Anon, just came over to see how you were feeling. Pinkie said you weren’t feeling well. Where you off to?”
>Going for a quick run. Didn’t go this morning and it’s like a habitual thing.
>”I can join you if you want.”
>Tell her thanks, but you’re looking to run solo tonight.
>She gives you some puppy dog eyes.
>Gotta stand firm.
>Give her some excuse about needing to talk to Pinkie and that it may take a while so you don’t want your bro having to stand around.
>”I don’t mind waiting around for a little bit.”
>Making this hard. Just to get her off your back, you tell her that you don’t really want to hang tonight and that she should just come over tomorrow.
>She gives a dejected sigh and you feels are activated.
>”Oh, alright.”
>Feels bad turning down a bro and making her feel bad, but you need this space.
>Especially with all that has happened.
>She flies off and you start your run.

>It’s been a week since you hung out with Rainbow other than the morning runs.
>Where they used to be filled with chatter between you two about some movies or p0nies around town, they are now nothing but silence.
>It’s like a new routine for you. After every run, you make up some lame excuse as to why you wouldn’t be able to hang out that night.
>You’re not sure how she buys all or any of them, but they work.
>Sure, the ones that involved Pinkie and working late or needing to be taught something made sense. But how could she let the ones about you being sick go?
>Oh well, makes it easier on your brain even if your heart has to suffer a little every time you see her face with a sad frown on it.
>This morning’s run is going a little different than you planned.
>”Anon, I asked Pinkie why she had you working so much.”
>The look on her face. She’s going to kill you.
>Tell her that it’s because you don’t know the prices of some of the stuff they sell at the stall that’s a little rarer.
>”Oh really? Then how come when I talked to her last night, she said she never had you come in after hours?”
>Fuck, you’re so fucked now.
>Stammer out something about how you didn’t want to let her know that you didn’t want to hang out with her.
>”WHAT THE BUCK is up with you recently. You’ve been acting really weird since last Monday mor…”
>She trails of and her face is one of thought for a brief moment.

>She flies up next to you.
>”A-Anon, when you said you were having a hard time sleeping last Sunday, do you remember anything about me?”
>Try and reply, but nothing comes out.
>”Well…”
>Try again, but it’s like your throat is the Sahara. Looks like the cat is out of the bag. Now you’re going to have to deal with this.
>She flies up and pushes you against your house. Damn these ponies and their unfathomable amount of strength for their size.
>The tears are welling up in her eyes.
>”BUCKING ANSWER ME!”
>She notices that your facial expressions are ones of pure terror right now. You’re practically shitting yourself.
>She releases you and stares off into space.
>”Why. Why the buck did I do that. What was I thinking? I ruined everything.”
>She looks at you and sees the same look of terror you had when she saved you from AJ in the cellar.
>Before you can say anything, she flies off practically doing a sonic rainboom.

>You lay there stunned on the ground for a moment trying to collect your thoughts.
>Your bro just went ape shit on you and you couldn’t say anything.
>The more you think about it, you really have been a pretty shitty bro lately.
>Keeping secrets, lying to her, making her sad.
>Not very bro-ish in your book.
>But you had to in order to keep her from trying to do anything weird.
>Didn’t you make a plan last week to not let any of this shit change the way you two hung out.
>Not even following your own plans, you ass.
>Now you damaged your falling apart relationship with your bro even further because you thought she was going to rape you.
>The flinch away from her in fear was the last hit to the relationship.
>You swear you saw her heart break in her eyes.
>How the hell did you even have a chance to fix this.
>You take your dumb ass inside to shower and then mope your way to work.
>Familiar smells invade your senses as you walk into sugarcube corner.
>”Hey Anon!  Having a super duper good morning?”
>Just shrug her off.
>”Oh don’t be like that silly filly. I can see something’s wrong, so why don’t you just talk about it with good ol’ auntie Pinkie Pie. Maybe she can help.”
>Try to shrug her off once again.
>”Come on Anon, you can trust me.” She flutters her eyes at you.
>How do you know she won’t just go and tell everyone?
>”I Pinkie Pie promise I won’t tell a soul.”
>With that promise, you spill your guts to her. You tell her everything that’s happened in the past two weeks in full detail. Maybe your new bro has some ideas.

>”So what’s wrong Anon, why won’t you return her feelings. You both are awfully close and alike in some ways. You even like to do the same things.”
>Say that it’s just not that easy.
>”Why not? You’re attracted to females, right?”
>Nod your head yes.
>”Then, I don’t see any problem to make it hard.”
>Explain that where you’re from, no one has ever been with something outside your species without being ridiculed and possibly even arrested.
>”You’re not on your home planet right? Then why should it matter? You’re not going back anytime soon are you?”
>Tell her that you just aren’t attracted to p0nies like that.
>”Don’t we look the same as humans?”
>What? No, just look at me.
>”I didn’t mean like you, I meant our ehh… you know.”
>Brain to idiot. Come in. You know what she really means.
>Haven’t really taken the time to look.
>”Well, when I was greeting you, I found something of yours that showed me they are the same.”
>Recall that when you first moved in, Pinkie came to annoy you and rummaged through your shit.
>That dirty bitch.
>”Well Anon, it’s time to get to work. Remember that if you don’t give it a try, you may never see Rainbow again. Hope Auntie Pinkie Pie was helpful for you Anon.”

>With that, you are sent on your way with enough sweets to rot all teeth in p0nyville.
>Time to start selling and stop thinking.
>Of course, today of all days was the one where almost no one was coming to your cart.
>Must be able to feel the bad vibes coming off of you or some shit.
>You ponder about the things Pinkie said. If this were Earth and Rainbow were a human, it’d be all too easy to make this decision.
>Where you are now, it’s more of just the mental connection to your Rainbro that makes you feel great.
>And who even knows if interspecies relationships are frowned on in Equestria.
>Sure, Twilight had that book on it, but it doesn’t mean you can’t go into a regular library on Earth and find out info on mating rituals of jaguars.
>And there’s far more than enough information on sexual encounters with other species on the internet.
>Fucking squash soup.
>Fuck you internet.
>But if you don’t try to do anything, nothing will change and Rainbow will probably not talk to you.
>So, will you abandon your morals, possibly go against most of Equestrias view, and attempt to make this work?
>At this point, losing your best bro, and for the most part, your only bro and real friend in this place seems pretty bad.
>You have to go talk to Twilight after work. Dropping one of those issues off the list would at least be a start.
>Close up shop, head to return unsold goods to Sugarcube corner, and head off to Twilights.

>You knock on the door and stand there.
>You can hear the sound of claws coming to the door as usual.
>”Welcome to P0nyville library, I’m Spike, how can I be of assistance?”
>Tell him he should look before he says that whole speech, it’s a waste if it’s a friends.
>”Hey Anon! What’s up? Lemmie guess, you have to talk to Twilight right?”
>Exactly.
>”You never come here to talk to me bro, what’s up with that?”
>Feel bad man. Tell him you heard he can give a good tour of Canterlot, so you two should head up there one day and check it out.
>”Awww yah, that’s what I’m talking about. I’ll go grab her real quick.”
>With that, he’s off to get Twilight for you.
>”Hey Anon, need some more of those cloud-walking potions?”
>No, you have plenty left, you had a question or two you needed to ask her.
>”Oh, how can I help you then?”
>Ask her how interspecies relations are viewed in Equestria.
>Her eyes light up at this question.
>God damnit, what have you done.
>”Oh! I have just the book for you!”
>She hands you a book.
> Interspecies Intimacy: A Guide to Interspecies Dating.
>God fucking damnit. Is it time to pause the repeat?
>Magic seems a lot harder to fight off than a rope.
>Tell Twilight you’re not interested in her, you just wanted to know.
>”Oh! I didn’t mean it that way, I was just giving it to you as a reference guide.”
>Still didn’t answer your question about the views of Equestria on that type of relationship.
>”Oh, for the most part, no one really minds. Just a few of the crazies out there who care about keeping gene pools clear.”

>Alright, I guess Equestria has its insane p0nies too.
>So does that mean it’s alright here?
>”Yep. Now I have a question for you Anon. Are you asking these questions because you’re interested in Rainbow?”
>You’re more interested in saving your relationship with her over everything else.
>”What do you even mean by that?”
>Sorry Twilight, you gotta get going. Have some thoughts to collect.
>You leave the Library and Twilight with a confused look on her face.
>Thinking is way too hard. It’s time to get drunk.
>Here you sit in your home, all alone, getting wasted and watching garbage movies on your TV.
>Never realized how shitty this is without anyone else around.
>You finally drink enough to black out for one of the first times since appearing here.

>Oh fuck, worst morning ever.
>Wake up to the sun hitting your face and penetrating your brain like a knife.
>Do your morning routine.
>You wait around for your Rainbro to come over to run so you can talk to her.
>She doesn’t come.
>Take your sorry ass to the shower and head off to work.
>Head off to work for another day of thinking and feeling bad.
>”OOOOHHHH Anon! Did you talk to Dashie yet?”
>Still thinking on what you talked about yesterday.
>”I believe you’ll make the right choice. And after you do, we can throw a PARTY!”
>She sends you on your way with your daily dose of sugary confections to sell.
>The first half of the day goes by uneventfully, but near the end of the shift, Berry walks up to the stand.
>”Hey Anon! What’s got you down? Every time I’ve seen you in the past week, you’ve looked depressed.”
>Tell her you in deep shit with your Rainbro.
>”Lemmie tell you something. Over time, minds can change opinions, but the heart is always the way to follow.”
>Corny shit. So how did she know kinda what you’re going through.
>”Rainbow came to my stand yesterday after she was done with work. She looked pretty sad as well. She bought some of the strongest stuff I’ve got. You know, the same stuff I sold you a few weeks ago.”
>Seems like your bro is having a hard time with this too.
>Knowing you’re the cause of it, you really have to get off your ass and make a decision.
>Tell her thanks for the info.
>”No problem. It’d just be better for me to see two of my customers happy and drinking together again.”

>Say goodbye as she leaves. Continue the day knowing your final answer.
>You’ve got to borrow Twilights balloon tonight. This has to be taken care of.
>You get off of work and march to Twilights house.
>You’re a man on a mission and nothing’s going to stop you.
>Knock on the door and surprisingly Twilight answers.
>”Hello Anon. How are you today?”
>As soon as this talk with Dash is over, you’ll feel much better.
>”So, what are you doing here then?”
>Remind her that you have no actual way of getting to Dash.
>”OHHH. So you need to borrow my balloon then?”
>Yes, if that is possible.
>”Anything to help a friendship be repaired, just follow me to the back yard.”
>She walks out of the door and to the backyard as you follow.
>You see the air balloon tied to a fence.
>You make your way into the basket and untie the rope.
>”Ok Anon, I’ll give you a quick lesson in flying this.”
>You ignore her and untie the balloon. Off you go.
>She’s chasing after you as you begin ascending.
>”Wait! Anon, you won’t be able to…”
>You can’t hear her anymore. You don’t care though because nothings slowing you down.
>You need to finish this.

>Fuck, you should have taken those lessons.
>You’re kind of aimlessly floating around, being carried by the wind.
>You hope sooner or later you will hit Dash’s house.
>Finally, after what seems like hours, you see Dash’s house.
>Try your best to work the contraption to float towards the flying mansion.
>GREAT SUCCESS!
>The balloon lands right next to Dash’s porch.
>As you climb out of the basket and set your first foot on the cloud, it sinks right through.
>Wow, you’re dumb as shit. Hop back into the basket and drink a cloud walking potion quickly.
>Jump full force over the rim of the basket and on to the cloud.
>If the potion didn’t work, at least you wouldn’t have to confront your bro.
>Land just fine on the other side.
>You walk up to her door and begin knocking loudly.
>Some sounds of things moving around can be herd and then you hear her.
>”Wh-who’s there? I swear Fluttershy, if you’re here to ask about An- that guys fetish, I have no idea what it is.”
>Tell her you’re here to talk. You need to sort this out.
>She opens up the door slowly to see you standing there with the most serious face you can muster.
>Her face is one of fear and sadness.
>”I guess I should ask if you’d like to come in then?”
>With that, you and Rainbow head into her living room and sit on the couch.

>Ask her why she didn’t come to the regular morning run.
>”I just didn’t feel like it.”
>Tell her to quit bullshitting, you’re here to have a heart to heart talk and her lying about it isn’t going to help.
>”I don’t know. I just felt like you might not want me around anymore. Especially after yesterday.”
>What does she mean by that? Your morning runs were never skipped unless one of you was not feeling well.
>”Just, the way you looked when I pushed you against your house demanding answers. It-It reminded me of the look when I found you in AJ’s cellar.”
>You really regret yesterday. The way you acted and the expressions you gave.
>”I just thought you were lumping me in with Fluttershy and AJ. That’s the only thing I could get when I tried to talk with you about it yesterday.”
>Ask Dash how long she has felt this way about you.
>”When we first started hanging out, there was nothing there. But after a while, it just felt like you could have been my other half.”
>Has she ever tried to rape you?
>”WHAT! No way! I wouldn’t do that, that’s just too low.”
>Then what was with those two kisses in the middle of the night?
>Her face turns a deep red at this question and her wings rise slightly.
>”I-I told you yesterday, it was a stupid mistake and I feel bad about it. I wish I had never done it.”
>Realize there’s shit tons of empty applejack daniels laying around. What’s up with that?
>”I felt really really bad about yesterday. I kinda drank myself into a coma.”
>That blackout regret, you know it well.
>”A-Anon, do you really think we can still be bros, even after all of this is in the open?”
>You give her a slow shake of the head no.

>You swear to god that your bro is about to burst into tears, he face showing an infinite amount of sadness.
>”O-Oh, oo-ok” she says through light sobs.
>You get up off the couch and look at her.
>Starting telling her that you could never put your Dashie through that much suffering.
>That keeping you around with her having feelings for you is just like taunting her with what she can’t have.
>She flutters up and starts to lead you to the door as slowly as possible.
>You continue on that she is and will forever be the best bro you ever had. No one will take her place in that respect. She was even willing to hide her feelings so you would enjoy being around her.
>She start to usher you out the door.
>Standing on the porch, you turn around to her once more.

>And you embrace her with one of the strongest hugs ever. You’re surprised it didn’t knock her out with lack of air. Her hooves come around and meet behind your neck.
>You whisper to her that because of those reasons, you will try to be something more. Something that she wants.
>She was so willing to give that you feel it’s your turn. That mentally, you are attracted to her for her personality and lifestyle as well as common interests.
>That she could be so loyal to friends, she would sacrifice for them even if it meant hurting herself.
>Slowly, that might be able to help build a stronger bridge towards physical attraction to her as well.
>That you realized that even though you are taking the next step, every day will still be the same as it was. You two hanging out and having fun.
>Once you’re finished with your speech, she releases and those magenta eyes look straight into yours.
>”Y-You’re not joking, are you?”
>Tell her you were completely serous.
>She has such a pissed off face right now. You think you’ll be having nightmares about it for the rest of your life.
>Her hoof swings and smacks you right in your face.
>”WHAT! WHAT WAS THAT?”
>You thought she liked pranks.
>The hoof comes in again, this time you’re quick on your feet and avoid it.
>”YOU IDIOT! Here you come to my house and pretend to tell me that we can’t hang out anymore and make me sad. Then you say all that?” Dash looks so angry right now.
>You shrug your shoulders and start to laugh.

>”I kind of want to push you off the edge of my home right now.” She flies very close to you.
>Her expression of anger melts away to one of relief.
>She puts her hooves around your neck and her face moves towards yours until your lips meet.
>She pulls out of the kiss after a few seconds, her face now revealing a huge smile.
>”We’ll call it even now.”
>Slightly stunned at the moment do to her forwardness in the matter, but for putting her heart through that rollercoaster, it could be her reward.
>You both start laughing.
>”So, you going to come in and watch some bucking movies or what?”
>With that, you and your Rainbro Dashie make your way back into the house to do what you’ve always done.

Continue onto Rainbro Dashie
