"Rivet ..." Helios breathes, his warm breath tickling her cheek. "The sun will be making its appearance soon."

Rivet snorts without opening her eyes. Not because she's scared to look at him but because she doesn't want to get up. She's generally sluggish in nature so mornings aren't her thing. Besides, she is in no hurry to leave the company of this handsome fella.

Helios makes no attempt to untangle himself. If she doesn't want to get up then that's her own problem. It's not his family that'll be searching for and questioning him! He rests his head across her back with a hum of amusement. This is the first mare he's not abandoned in the morning. This one is special, just like how his wicked daughter has a special place in his heart. Of course he isn't in love with Rivet...but she is refreshing to hang out with sometimes. Honestly she's lightyears better than the idiots in his herd! And she's just as devious as he is. All of her ex-mates have met a tragic end in one way or the other.
"How is your lovely little brood anyway?"

"Hades is as sappy as always. Erro's got himself a knockout filly-friend, and the others are probably tearing up the fields looking for me." Rivet squints at the first rays of light. Sometimes she wonders why her family is so clingy. It's not like she's going to wander off a cliff without them or anything!
"If I somehow end up carrying your baby from one of our little sessions you can't have it. Just so you know. I'd feed you to the wolves before I let your herd raise it."

"Ha, we will have no argument there! Somehow I doubt that will happen but no promises. If it does you could put the thing up for adoption for all I care." Helios isn't too worried about foals. As long as they can keep meeting up once in awhile he doesn't mind what she does. He finds himself looking forward to their flings oddly enough. Rivet is, well, riveting. Her lazy body contains a quick mind. Her eyes reflect pure deviousness. So she may be a biiit older than him. That means nothing when her personality is perfect.

Rivet finally wakes up enough to look at him. Sheesh he's even more golden in the weak light! A small flush of pride stirs in her chest; back home he must have mares falling over each other to get him, and here he is with her of all horses. He seeks her out. He wants to spend time with her and not them. Take that thots!
She snuffles at his muzzle and accepts the charming lip-nibbles he bestows in return.
"If given the option, how would you kill me?"

Helios stops lipping at her face and perks up. This is his favorite game! A word-play of 'What-Ifs'. It's not ever taken seriously since their friendship is somewhat stable for now. He takes a minute or two to think.
"Why, I'd plant a seed of doubt in the wolves' minds and turn them against you in one final finale. Feeling your old friends rip you apart would be awful physically and emotionally I imagine. It'd be interesting to see you scream in surprise when one took a flying leap onto your throat." He smiles at the thought before placing his head on his hooves. "Your dependency on them is adorable."

"Hey! That was how I was going to take you out! Almost." Rivet pretends to pout. "Just kidding, I'd shove you down a canyon and then let the wolves get you. Payback for Yasha."

"Can't prove that it was me sweets! Rockslides can happen whenever you know." Helios replies steadily. "I'd be relieved to have a wolf end the misery of having broken legs. That would be a merciful death."
He hates to be the one to end their snuggle session. If he had more time he'd go for seduction, but alas her pesky family would disturb that! Oh well, maybe next time. Last night was enough anyway. Helios nuzzles her and expertly untwines his legs so he can get up.

Rivet frowns. "Get back here, you were warm." She sits upright, glowering. Her mood darkens when he ignores her in order to stretch.
Normally her murder plots for her lovers were true, but not this time. Mostly because she could see the sharp green glint in his eyes. A sharp glint that showed that most of his own murder plots rang true as well. He won't kill her if she won't kill him. In fact, he's expecting something dangerous to befall him in her company. So she'll use reverse psychology! Lead him on with the idea of killing him but never actually try it. Keep him on edge all the time. It makes him more lively anyways.

"I hear a spawn of yours screeching for you. Alas I must bid you adieu on this fine morning." Helios wraps his neck affectionately around hers in a makeshift hug. "It's always a pleasure Rivet. Same place next week?"
When she nods he smirks and gallops away towards the border.

"Make that just three days punk!" She hollers after him. A switch of his tail indicates agreement.

Rivet waits for his hoofbeats to fade. As soon as they do she flops back down so she can pretend to be asleep when her family finds her. She'll just say she wanted some peace and quiet like she does every time they question her!
This is the most fun she's had in ages honestly. She likes sunning in a field next to him and discussing different manipulation methods. Their past experiences. Heck even their exes are not safe from discussion! It's good for both of them. Keeping their guards up all the time is exhausting. Truly laughing without faking feels good. Smiling without faking is even better. The whole 'illegal/forbidden' aspect of their friendship-but-more-than-friendship relationship is exhilarating every time they get away with it.
In a world where he constantly needs to watch his back she likes being the one horse who has an ounce of his trust. In return she too trusts him a bit. A tiny truce but she'll take that over nothing.

"I found her guys! She's over here, not moving as usual. I swear this mare does absolutely nothing...she needs a hobby or something." A familiar voice calls out.

Rivet rolls her eyes underneath her lids. Oh kiddo, if only you had any idea.
---------------------------------------------------
Not sure why I haven't considered giving Helios a friend with benefits. I heckin love the dynamic between him and Rivet! Obviously it's not enough to make him want to change his lifestyle (he does have ladies he actually wants to break) but it's enough to keep him grounded. She also doesn't seem interested in dedication and would not care about the other chicks in his life. Forbidden rendezvous are exciting dang it! And it's great to finally talk about dark stuff with! Sometimes they smash when they meet up, other times not. Free spirits doing what they feel like. Everyone needs a buddy, even twisted sickos. Helios would take some time to actually chill out for once with 'lazy' Rivet. Gotta rest your mind sometime man.
*Wheeze Helios is Erro's dad and now technically grandpa to some extent*
