- >You are Shimmer Light.
- >"It's so comfy!"
- >And Hexferry is laying on your bed.
- >Hexferry has been at your home for a few hours now, and it's time to get to bed.
- >After all, this is your sleepover.
- >... You're now glad you have such a big bed.
- >It might be awkward if you had a small bed.
- >"Your room is really nice."
- >It's... quaint. The carpet is really soft, the drawers and closet are spacious to be efficient, the room is colors pretty dark...
- >And your bed is comfy.
- >The pillows are plush and the blankets are soft.
- "Thank you."
- >She reaches into the bag she put at her side of the bed.
- >Right, she brought a bag of things with her. She already did whatever hygiene she needed to do, and there are already enough blankets on the bed...
- >She pulls out... a cloth of some kind.
- >... And starts putting it on.
- >What... is that?
- >Hexferry must have noticed because she's looking at you like you said something confusing.
- >"What?"
- "What is that?"
- >"These?"
- >She gestures to the cloth she's... half-wearing.
- >"These are pajamas. Have you really never seen pajamas before?"
- >... You shake your head.
- >She blinks and continues putting them on.
- >"It's basically just sleepwear. Some ponies put them on before going to bed, some don't. Though, generally, most ponies who wear pajamas to bed are just foals..."
- >She looks a little embarrassed.
- >You move toward the light switch and wait for her to have her... pajamas on.
- >... You get a better look at them.
- >They're a soft yellow-orange, one able to make Hexferry stand out even while almost completely covered in them.
- >They remind you of honey.
- >Well, with how much she loves honey, that makes sense.
- >... You're getting that weird light-heart feeling from looking at her.
- >She looks at you for a second then turns away.
- >"S-stop looking at me like that; I know they're for foals, but I just really like wearing them. They're warm and soft and... they make me feel safe."
- >Warm, soft and safe; that sounds like your ideal article of clothing.
- "... That's fine."
- >Her turned gaze softens and she smiles.
- >"... I like how you always sound sincere. You don't say much, but what you do say sounds like what you truly feel."
- >... You weren't aware.
- >You just never really wasted your words saying something you didn't believe was true.
- >Well, you've lied to her before, but you haven't done it recently.
- "Can I turn off the light?"
- >You're getting better at this "courtesy" thing.
- >Hexferry nods and goes under the blankets.
- >The light goes out and the room is filled with darkness.
- >There are no windows; there is no light coming in.
- >Your room is pure darkness.
- >Hexferry squeaks.
- >... She must not have been expecting it.
- >Maybe you aren't getting better with courtesy.
- "... Sorry."
- >"No, it's fine, I just... wasn't expecting it."
- >It's good to know you can still guess causes and effects.
- >You easily make your way to the bed and get on.
- >The darkness of your room doesn't even affect you; you've walked this exact room in darkness so many times, you can't even mess it up.
- >You tuck yourself in on your side of the bed.
- >... It's so calming but you still feel odd.
- >This is the first time the two of you have been sleeping in the same building by choice.
- >You wonder...
- >"Shimmer?"
- >She sounds both tired and restless.
- >... She herself is tired, but her sounds restless, as though she is going to say something she's wanted to say for a while.
- "What?"
- >"... What do you think of me?"
- >... How surreal.
- >You remember her asking this before. Back then, you were different.
- >Now...
- "... I like you."
- >... There were a few moments of silence.
- >You really wish you could see her expression, this would be a lot easier.
- >Did you say something wrong?
- >You hear a little movement and a sniffle from Hexferry's side of the bed.
- >"Th-thank you..."
- >She's teary-eyed and happy.
- >You're relieved.
- >This is probably the best birthday you've had.
- >... Even if you're the only one who knows it's that day.
- >You both sleep after only a few minutes of laying down.
- >...
- >You were very glad you woke up before Hexferry did, because...
- >Well, you woke up with your fore-legs around her.
- >To your credit, you weren't the only one who moved while sleeping.
- >... But that didn't stop you from gently moving away to your half of the bed.
- >The rest of the sleepover was... "fun".
- >Hexferry helped you cook breakfast.
- >Your eggs were almost burnt while her pancakes were gooey and perfect.
- >The shake you made of the pancakes was perfect.
- >At the end of it, Hexferry said she loved it and would happily do it again whenever you were free.
- >... You agreed to have the next one in a week at Hexferry's house.
- >It was definitely the best birthday you've had.
