Description


A loud crack shattered the comfortable silence. Fluttershy did little more than tense at the unexpected sound. There was no need to hide with Applejack here. She shifted slightly, enjoying the contrast between the cold room, the hot fire, and Applejack's own warmth,

"It's just the fire," mumbled Applejack, half asleep. The leg around Fluttershy's withers gave her a gentle squeeze.

A warmth that had nothing to do with the fire filled her. All of her friends would, of course, reassure her, but none of them would mean it in quite the same way. Rainbow would have been full of exasperation, not able to believe she could possibly be frightened of a log. Twilight would try to sooth her with an explanation of why fires crackled. Rarity would distract her, filling the room with chatter until there was no room left for anything else. Pinkie would maybe sing a song or throw a party. Whatever she did, it would probably be louder than the fire by far. All of them would try to make her less afraid, try to change her. Only Applejack would just tell her it was okay. Only Applejack saw no need for her to not be startled. Only Applejack made her believe it would be okay.

Fluttershy smiled as she basked in the dual warmth. The fire heated her coat, but Applejack's presence heated her heart.



Bleh, so out of practice with these little super-shorts.
