It was a cold night in Washington. Seppo always wondered how everyone could walk around close to naked. Was it true what they said? Was he damaged by the cold from the north? Maybe it was just Odin’s way to remind him who he was. He had just had to suffer through a meeting with the Speaker of the House, Derphoof. You see, with Derphoof every meeting became an excruciating pain since all Seppo wanted to do was stroke his beautiful soft mane. The way he would look at you as if you were the only thing that mattered in the world, the way he would shake his mane nonchalant knowing that there is no more beautiful pony than him. It was all too much to endure for hours at a time.

He walked home to his congressional appartment and stripped out of his coat. One day he had to confess to Derphoof about his feelings, but how would he take it? It would be political suicide to make a play at it and be denied. Could he take that risk? He decided he had to. If the cold was Odin’s way of reminding him of who he was, then this burning desire was Freya’s way of showing what he wanted. He turned on the shower and stood in there for hours planning his approach. All of a sudden there was a knock on his door. He wrapped a towel around his nether feathers and looked through the peephole who it was and instantly felt a burst of fire through his body, it was Derphoof. He fixed his feathers and opened up.

- “Seppo, we have had some reports regarding the issue you came to me, may I come in?” Derphoof said.
- “Of course Mr. Speaker, sit down in the living room and I’ll go get dressed.”
- “Oh there is no need for that, I want to be on my way quickly. A lot is happening.”

Seppo could not but help to notice the way Derphoof was looking at his short small perfect duck legs. Now to think of it, didn’t he always do that? Maybe Derphoof was interested as well. His heart beating faster than the whipping of the majority whip Sarahtoga.

-”Oh sure, I understand.” Seppo replied as he sat down, making the towel slide up and giving Derphoof a good view of his duck legs.
-”We have had reports of someone planning a DDoS on our server to harm our congressional progress. As you know we have several high profile legislations and discussions that need to be taken care of so we are very vulnerable right now.” Derphoof stuttered out as his focus was not fully at his words.
-”Do we have any reports on who might have planned this?” Seppo said shocked.
-”Yes, we heard from sources that it was Valiant Thor.” Derphoof shakes his mane, but not as nonchalant as he usually was. Was he nervous?
-”I doubt that, he might be very much anti-establishment but this is not a move that he would make. I don’t even know if he has the resources to do such an attack. I guess this is why you came to me?”
-”Yes, you are well connected with the anti-establishment caucus so I figured if anyone would know that would be you. Sorry to have wasted your time Seppo.” Derphoof started to rise up, fumbling as his gaze was not over his own steps.

Seppo decided that this was it. He had seen enough from Derphoof to think that this might become real.

-”Mr. Speaker, may I?” He said shyly.
-”May you what Seppo?” Derphoof said confused.

Seppo leaned forward and planted his beak on Derphoofs face, giving him the kiss that have been burning inside him for months. It was finally out there, his cards were shown and all he could do was to hope that he would get a good response. Derphoof was clearly shocked at first but eventually gave him the response that he craved for as he leaned in against him and kissed him passionatly back.

-”S-S-Seppo, I want this I really do, but I really need to go to solve this issue. Dinner at my place tomorrow?” Derphoof obviously taken by the moment.
-”Of course Mr. Speaker, it would be my pleasure.”

As he shut the door behind Derphoof he started flapping with his wings out of happiness, nothing could ruin this day, not even the downtime of the server. He thanked Freya for showing him the road he must walk as he made his first sacrifice to the Gods for many months. He thanked Odin for reminding him who he was. A lot more secure of himself he went to bed and slept better than he had in a long time.

And so the love story between the duck and the pony began.
