PROMPT Anon's Adopted Twin Cozy Glow v Anon's First Friend D. Tiara

@#!
>Anon is transported to Equestria as a pre-teen.
>Because he's a human he's placed in a special orphanage partially overseen by the princesses themselves.
>Cozy Glow, who has recently been de-statuefied, is also in this orphanage.
>All the other ponies bully and ostracize her.
>But Anon wasn't around when she was a supervillian, and the staff conceal her past to aid in integration.
>All he sees is a lonely filly who needs a friend.
>Anon doesn't have any power or anything of physical value, so Cozy Glow has nothing to try and take from him, but something strange happens, something she's never felt before.
>Life is more comfortable when he's around.
>When Anon and her are together during free-time before lights-out, it's so much easier to ignore the jeers and dirty looks she constantly receives.
>When they idly chat about nothing, the world feels like it's at peace, the gnawing void of envy within her quells.
>Cozy likes this feeling, she LOVES it.
>Her lust for this feeling eventually, luckily for Anon any everyone else, evolves into true friendship.

>Years later, Anon and Cozy are beginning high school.
>They're nigh inseparable.
>At Cozy's behest, but not to Anon's discomfort.
>Cozy and Anon even share a room at the orphanage.
>The staff knows what this is likely to end in, but they fully encourage it, nobody ever anticipated she'd rehabilitate so well, it's clearly in part due to her relationship with Anon.
>This decision was signed off on by Cadence and Twilight personally, anticipating that their friendship would bloom into romantic love.
>It's even arranged that they would have as many classes together as possible.
>There's only one class they don't share.
>It's in this one class that Cozy's world comes crashing down.
>Anon meets Diamond Tiara.
>They first meet because her reputation precedes her to such an extent that when it comes time for a group project, nobody wants to group with her.
>Figuring it might be the same as with Cozy, he extends a helping hand.
>And he's right, it is similar to Cozy's situation, nobody had ever given an altruistic fuck about Diamond.
>Over the course of the semester, Diamond grows to love Anon's caring personality.
>Cozy and Diamond are completely unaware of each other, until Diamond invites Anon to her house during summer break.
>Thinking nothing of it, he brings along Cozy as well.
>The tension is palpable.
>They're both fully suspicious of what the other means for them.
>Thus begins a convoluted social cold war.

>Cozy Glow has the advantage of having known Anon for longer and that her rehabilitation becomes undone as she becomes more fearful that Anon will be taken away.
>But Diamond Tiara has all the advantages absentee parents and a literal fortune can afford her. She's also far more conventionally beautiful, and has many of the students willing to do her bidding to get into the "in" group.
>And perhaps the most key point of all, she doesn't have as much to lose.
>Every time Anon chooses to hang out with Diamond it crushes Cozy, sending her into despair and near hysteria.
>When Diamond steals Anon's first kiss, Cozy nearly kills herself.
>All she has to do is get Cozy to give up, and she'll have Anon as her personal love toy.
>Diamond doesn't care as much as Cozy does about Anon, and is able to keep a much more level head.
>At least, so she thinks.
>The flutter in her chest when her and Anon's lips touched was undeniable.
>And the way he talks to her like she's a regular pony makes her feel some kind of way she hasn't felt before.

But killing ponies is wrong, Anon, don't you know?
No matter how much Cozy Glow wants to, it's wrong to hurt other ponies. But boy does she want to, Cozy wishes from the bottom of her heart that Diamond Tiara would be shaved bare and beaten before the whole school in an act of domination. As Cozy Glow sobs in her bed her muscles tense with a primal want to bring an end to her worst nightmare.
The feeling of being filled with energy but with no way to release it is making her mind race in circles, what would Anon think if Cozy attacked his only other friend? Or anypony for that matter? He's so nice, so caring that she might drive him away, which is the very idea that brought her to this state to begin with!
She's long since run out of tears, her little body just spasms beneath the covers in silence, if she cries too loud she's afraid someone will hear, so she bites her blanket and shrieks the softest shriek she can manage.
>It could all end
she thinks,
>I could stop it all, forever. I'd never have to feel bad again, and Anon could go and be with Diamond Tiara and be happy. No more Cozy Glow to look after and babysit. He probably doesn't even like me half as much as he likes her.
Unending mutinous thoughts run through her brain. She stares across the room, out her window, over the town's rooftops, at one of Canterlot's famous balconies. She envisions what it would be like, the air running through her mane as she plummets, the rush of the mountainside beside her, cold mountain air made colder by the night and the fall, she'd hit the ground so fast she wouldn't even know she was dead, no pain, just a drop and it'd be over.
Cozy Glow rises up and crawls off her bed, she knows exactly what to do.
Eyes glazed and staggering like a golem she crosses the room.
As she reaches the door, almost on accident, she casts a glance over her shoulder.
Anon is sleeping.
He sleeps peacefully, unaroused by Cozy's breakdown.
Air flows in and out of that strange little nose of his the other ponies used to mock him for.
Cozy thought it looked cute, even before she grew to love him, even before she knew him.
The memory of her first thinking that flashed before her eyes.
It was maybe the dozenth time they'd sat together, after she had given up on trying to scare him away.
Her trance crumbled the instant it finished playing.
A moan, then a wail left her mouth.
>I love him.
She could never actually leave Anon's side.
Especially not for a time as long as forever.
She galloped across the room and jumped into his bed, burrowing beneath the covers into his warmth.
He permeates through her completely, the heat cradling her away from the rest of the world.
>I love him.
She doesn't care what'll happen in the morning. She doesn't care if he might be uncomfortable with kissing one pony then sharing a bed with another.
She loves him, and that means she'll be with him.
Anon loves her too, she knows, he just doesn't realize it's that kind of love.
>The only reason we aren't married is because neither of us have taken the first step yet.
>No more.
She resolves to become Anon's bride no matter what, they love each other and it won't be any other way.
Imagining herself in a white dress and Anon in a black tuxedo sends warm shivers across her flesh.
She'd walk up the aisle to stand next to him, as close as they are now.
And he'd kneel down to place a loving kiss on her lips, as loving as she one she's giving him now.
The kiss is as passionate as it is one sided, and lasts until Cozy must pull away, gasping for air.
She's certain it blew Tiara's out of the water by a country mile.
>But that's obvious, of course. Her's was just a loveless shell, a shallow imitation of a true lover's first kiss. Our first kiss, Anon's real first kiss.
Tired of thinking about Tiara, and tired from crying for so long, Cozy glow drifts to sleep, snout nuzzled right into the crook of Anon's neck, and hooves wrapped around his chest and stomach in a full body hug.
His smell and the phantom sound of wedding bells the perfect lullaby.
She doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, but she's positive she can handle it, now that she has a goal to work towards.

Diamond Tiara is giddy, happier than she ever remembered being, a joy brought on by machinations working exactly as planned.
She rolled back and forth in her bed, far too excited to settle down.
