“Soarin?”

Soarin did not budge. He was curled up on a cloud high above, hidden in the sky, somewhere out in the middle of no where.

After her visit to Ponyville, she returned to HQ, eager to find out how Soarin was doing after the call in. But when she got there, Soarin was no where to be found. She didn’t want to ask the other ponies, either. Not after what had happened earlier.

After an entire search of HQ, she flew off into the distance. She had a small idea where to find her goofy friend, and was more than happy to find him. However, she suddenly felt tension the closer she got to the cloud. Was it because of her?

She paused and waited.

She took the silence as a soft invitation to sit beside him.

“No gloomy cloud?” She teased.

Soarin picked up his head and sighed. He turned towards her.

She held his gaze. She was worried. He could tell by the way her eyes doubted whether she could ask him a question or not.

He smiled a small smile.

“Where’d you go today?”

Rainbow Dash did not like that question. She tried desperately to hold her anger in before she said something stupid but she couldn’t stop the sudden pain she felt. Did he not trust her? Was she not as close a friend with him as he imagined? Was that why he was acting so weird recently?! Was it because she wasn’t important to him!?

“Did I do something to piss you off, Soarin? Is there something you’re not telling me?”

Soarin was not expecting that.

“What?”

“You’ve been acting so wierd! I feel like you don’t trust me! You’re brushing me off! I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ANYMORE!… .. … ….. … .. . What the hell’s going on!?”

Rainbow Dash was right in front of his face, wings flared, tears in her eyes.

Soarin took a chance and closed a small amount of distance between their faces and reached out to dry a lone tear.

Rainbow Dash immediately backed off.

Soarin watched her sit and hunch over, trying desperately, and failing, to control her now falling tears. Soarin’s heart broke. Spitfire was right. He had to let her know. He had to tell her everything.

He stood behind her and engulfed her in his wings until she calmed. By the time she had finished, they were laying next to each other, Dash hiding her face against his side, hiding inside the safety of his wings.

“Thank you.”

Rainbow Dash came out of her hiding spot and stared at him.

“What?”

Her voice was raspier than normal. He smiled sadly.

“Thank you. For worrying for me.”

“Soarin, what’s going on?”

“I-… It’s true. I do like somepony.”

Rainbow Dash waited.

“I didnt say anything because I was afraid.”

“Afraid of what?” she asked, as she came out of the comfort of his wings. He retracted and folded his wings, pausing to feel the warmth they carried.

The sudden dampness reminded him to continue speaking.

“Afraid of how she would react. I guess… . I didn’t want to mention it because I didn’t want to say it out loud, because, in a way, I think… I think I didn’t want anyone to react.”

He glanced at Dash. She was looking at him funny.

“I guess you can say… I’m a coward.”

Today was a rollercoaster of feelings, Soarin decided. He wasn’t ready for anything that took place today, especially not the sudden hug that came from his love interest.

“That’s so stupidly normal, you goof.”

Soarin felt like a sudden weight had been lifted. He closed his eyes and returned the hug.

After what seemed an eternity, he decided he was going to take the chance. He suddenly felt that he could tell her everything. He was exhausted. He was done with all these feelings. It was like with this hug, he found an invitation from Rainbow to let her help him carry his weight.

“I was once in a relationship….. . .. “

He felt her tense.

“With Spitfire.”

She immidietly pushed him back within armspace, holding him from the shoulders.

“So the rumor’s were true!?!”

He chuckled. This was going to be a long story.
