Description
or "Personal Space Violation" of the good kind.

Blue never had a way with mares, being the technician he is. Its not that he couldn't interact with them, just not in the romantic sense. Try as they might to flirt or show interest in subtle ways, the advances flew right over his head, leading to more than one frustrated love interest. Likewise, his attempts in the past were about as frustrating, lacking the charm necessary to woo a potential mate. He instead decided to just focus on what he does best and if something were to happen, so be it. Little did he know (like usual), somepony has taken notice of him, and she was going get through to him some way, some how. One day while working on a wagon, a gentle voice interrupted his train of thought on bearing pre-load.

"Nice to see somepony who's not afriad to get their hooves dirty." Startled, he dropped the wrench he was holding and jumped up to see who was talking to him. "Oh geez, please don't do that! Uh... anyways, yes I do this for a living. It dirty but honest work." he said. "Oh where are my manners, my name is Octavia, and yours?" "Blue... ma'am" He started to turn around to pick up the wrench, but his eyes locked onto hers and he froze, unable to avert his gaze. "So, what is it that you are doing here?" she asked.

"Crap! What do I do?! Say something, stupid!"

" Uh... I'm... bearings."

"Way to go... Idiot!

Realizing his blunder, he turned around back to the wagon to compose himself. Staring at the wrench and bearing on the ground, he could not shake the nervousness that overwhelmed him. "I'm sorry if I put you on the spot, Blue." "No, its okay. I just lost my head there for a moment." When he turned back to face her again, his face was now mere inches away from hers. "Is there something wrong, Octavia?" "No, not at all." With her in front and the wagon behind him, he was cornered like a rat and she was the cat, ready to pounce. "To be honest with you, its quite the opposite. You see, that night I broke up the tiff between you and Beauty Brass for sneaking into the concert hall, the moment I looked into your eyes, I was a bit... smitten."

"Whoa! Is this what I think it is?! Naw, can't be! Probably a set up by Lug Wrench to punk my ass."

"At first I thought it was just a brief infatuation, but as the days went by, I realized that wasn't the case. A couple of time I would walk by your garage and see you working on something or 'hanging out' with your friends and I wanted to go over and say hello but I could never gather the courage to say something. Today was the first time I felt I could do this." He was dumbstruck, she was being honest with him. "I... don't know what to say, Octavia. Why me?" "I don't know. The heart wants what it wants. We can talk about this later, you should get back to work." She picked up the wrench and gave it to him. "Ill come by the garage tomorrow." She started to walk away but turned around at the last second to give him a peck on the cheek and ran away. "Okay..." he mumbled, looking at the wrench in his hoof.

"What in the hell just happened here?"

This drawing was a scene in a story Ive been working on. The text isn't polished and Im sure there are grammatical errors abound, since it was more or less ganked from the rough draft. The drawing as well isnt quite as good as Id like, given his coat isnt filled in (its hard to find a khaki color colored pencil), Tavi's mane and tail details aren't noticable, and the body shapes aren't right either but its something. Id like to transition to digital but Id have to probably have to get a Cintiq since Im used to seeing what I draw under my hand and with a regular tablet, you dont see that. It also doesnt help I was up till 1 am drawing this. Anyways, time to keep plugging away with everything, hopefully more to come.

Legal stuffs: Octavia is a copyright of Hasbro. Blue is mine, no steal or use without letting me know beforehand.
