- |Heat That Warms the Heart|
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- >The two of you arrive in Canterlot too late for dinner
- >You decide to retire to Celestia's bedchamber instead
- >You nearly drop to your knees at the sight of the giant bedding
- >You've haven't slept in a decent bed in weeks
- >Celestia giggles as you collapse onto the sheets
- >She happily strides to the opposite side of the bed and climbs in after removing her regalia
- >You undress and climb in along side her, taking the initiative to wrap your arm around her
- >She quivers slightly at your touch but eventually warms up to it
- >"Anon. I'm so glad you accepted my love. I was beginning to think you didn't love me. But I knew you did. I'm sorry, I burned you home, took your job, and abandoned you in the wilderness. It was the only way to teach you how much I love you."
- >You remain silent
- >You're a bit insulted that she sees you as some child who needs to be 'taught'
- "Well Celestia. I can't blame you for what you did. I was naive and couldn't see through my own selfish needs."
- She moves closer to you
- >Shes so close, you can feel the softness of her coat and the warmth of her body
- >You find yourself counting the number of times her chest rises and falls
- >"I really do love you Anon. There is nothing I wanted more than to lay in your arms, just as I do now. I'm sorry I lied about the wedding. Soon, we can actually get married!"
- >She looks at you with her giant magenta eyes and you have to avoid her gaze
- >You feel it would make you feel guilty
- >You do nothing but smile and rest your head on hers
- "I love you Celestia."
- >It hurts to say it, but it must be done for your eventual retribution
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- >You wake up to a pleasant morning with Sun Horse
- >She lay in your arms, content with being able to finally share a bed with the one she loves
- >You're also content with the feeling
- >Wait, since when did you start feeling like that?
- >You opt to get out of the bed as soon as possible before you could think on the subject more
- >Your rustling of the sheets disturbs Celestia from her sleep
- >"Good morning, my love."
- >She stretches herself out on the bed as you begin to pull your shirt over your head
- "Morning. Did you sleep well?"
- >You ask out of courtesy, not genuine curiosity
- >Or do you?
- >"I slept very well, thanks to you."
- >You stand in front of the vanity adjusting your tie as she approaches from behind
- "Why do you say that?"
- >She lay her head on your shoulder, gazing at the happy couple in the mirror
- >"Sometimes, I would lose sleep thinking of you at night. I constantly wondered where you were, what you were doing at every given hour. And every time I went to check on you, you were always asleep."
- >You're a bit bothered at the prospect that she would stop by your house in the later hours of the night to find you sleeping
- >She kisses you on the cheek lightly and leaves your side for pre-morning activities
- >The sudden change of temperature is enough to slightly throw you off
- >Which is strange and unexpected
- >"Do you have anything planned for today Anon?"
- >Your Sun Goddess asks from behind
- "Actually, I was thinking of going back to Ponyville. Twilight promised she'd introduce me to her friends. And I know how keen you are on friendship so I figured...."
- >Celestia pokes her head out from a walk-in closet
- >"Oh nononono. You can't leave the castle at all."
- "...What?"
- >"I'm not letting you out of my sight, my sunshine. You may try to run."
- >You stop mid-way from pulling your familiar black suit jacket over your shoulders
- >It seems your revenge won't come as easily as you thought
- >You walk side by side through Canterlot castle
- >Trying to think of a way to escape Sunbutt's hooves
- >You hadn't noticed before but it is well dark outside and the two of you were heading to the balcony to take care of that
- >"Anon, have you ever watched the Sun rise?"
- >She asks you, to which you think back on it
- "Well, as a kid I never slept much during summer so I'd always see the sun peek in from my window. But I've never actually watched the sun rise."
- >She smiles at your response
- >You arrive at the balcony and she leaves your side to take center stage
- >You lean against the cold pre-morning wall to watch the display that only regular ponies get to see once a year
- >Her horn begins to radiate with magical energy from the Aether
- >Streams of ethereal energy begins to flow around her body
- >Her hooves part from the marble floor and she slowly ascends into the air
- >Her mane and tail flow elegantly on winds unseen
- >And over the mountain peeks, the Sun rises just over the horizon
- >The experience you feel is strange
- >The only word that comes to mind is 'intimate'
- >It slowly creeps from behind the distant gray mountains and sheds it's light over the vast valley and the rest of the land
- >You have the indescribable feeling that this morning was specifically made for you
- >Celestia slowly lowers herself onto the platform and turns to you, slightly red in the face
- >"I put extra work into this morning, for you, Anon. Do you like it?"
- >Your heart aches because.....
- "It's beautiful..."
