Who would their future mate be and a short story and/or picture of their first meet: Cerberus"Are you mine?":
It was a breezy spring day and today all the tolters were being turned out in their respective pastures, stallions and geldings to one and mares to another. The mares were turned out first before the stallions so most were eager to go out to pasture just to cat call to the mares in a coltish way. Cerberus, who was led out first, didn't really see much appeal in calling to the mares and instead went to the water trough for a drink while the other stallions came out in a display of excited prancing and whinnys to their favorite mares. The mares were good at pretending they didn't like being called to but every so often they would give a stallions gentle whinny for reply or even a nicker which made the stallions prance along the fence line, eager to show off in return.
The last to be led out for the stallions was Ben, he was another stallion who didn't show off for the mares but he gave them a smile or two of friendliness, some of the mares would nicker and approach the fence, it was obvious they liked his easy going way as well as the other stallions obvious desperate need for attention. Ben walked by the other stallions, they liked him most days but when it came to days out in pasture when they were all vying for attention from the mares in the next pasture, they didn't like him very much then. One of the more aggressive stallions, a seal bay with a bad attitude, flattened his ears to his head and bared his teeth when Ben got to close as he was walking by. Ben just ignored him as he did any other day, the aggressive seal bay wasn't having it today though, fighting was one of his ways to show of his strength and toughness to the mares and he wasn't going to let Ben get away without a mark or two.
The seal bay let a challenging whinny before charging in and biting the base of Ben's tail, Ben surprised and hurt retaliated with a surprised kick, the kick didn't really hurt but to the seal bay this instigated a full on fight to the death. The aggressive stallion reared up because he thought that would really impress the ladies before he stomped his hooves in the dirt and charging at Ben, who was backing off with his ears flat to his head and a submissive position to his body. The seal bay came at ben's face with his mouth open and teeth showing, ready to bite into his neck, Ben quickly ducked away to keep distance between them. With this attempted fight going on Cerberus watched Ben scooting backwards hurriedly to keep out of reach of the aggressive stallion's teeth, coming close to where Cerberus was standing by the trough when the seal bay decided to try and show Cerberus who was boss as well. The seal bay charged at Cerberus head on, the latter, quick as a flash of lightning, turned a hundred and eighty degrees and gave the seal bay a quick, hard, kick to the jaw. The seal bay choked a bit as Cerberus's hoof grazed part of his wind pipe, the kick knocked some sense into the seal bay causing the aggressive stallion to go back to attempting to beat the bejesus out of Ben instead. Cerberus wasn't through with him though and decided to finish the fight with the seal bay by squealing in fury at the latter before slamming his front hooves into the dirt and charging him.
The seal bay realized his mistake in choosing this opponent and attempted to kick Cerberus the way Cerberus had gotten him moments ago. The silver stallion dodged easily, used to being kicked at by previous pasture mates, he charged in and dealt a painful bite right to the sensitive part of the leg right by the hock. The seal bay jerked his leg away from Cerberus's teeth and desperately limped away, Cerberus was scarier than he had expected and he wanted nothing to do with him. Cerberus followed after him and kept giving him bite after bite on his haunches to humiliate him and to give him something to remember him by.
The other stallions, who had watched the fight all turned away as Cerberus went back to the water trough, they didn't want to give any reason to go after them too. Ben eyed Cerberus in awe and uncertainty, Cerberus had fought the seal bay for him intentionally, Cerberus had saved him from a beating. Ben shyly approached the other stallion before going to get a drink of water, as Ben's muzzle touched the water he let out a big horsey sneeze, causing water to splash everywhere, on himself and Cerberus. Ben panicked a little as he looked at Cerberus who had wet hair and mane now dripping with water, stuck to parts of his face. Cerberus let out a long sigh that ended with a bit of a snort before he nosed Ben's cheek in his unusual way of greeting, Cerberus wasn't really into mares, he wasn't really into stallions either. But Cerberus did like Ben.
Ben let out a sigh of relief before nosing Cerberus in return, he had to admit that ever since he came to this place he's had a bit of a crush on Cerberus.
Cerberus who has never been the type to say much asked in a soft voice. "Does this mean.. Are you mine?" Ben paused as he looked into Cerberus's eyes before giving a short nod. "And you're mine."
