Dreaming of You

I awoke in her wings, warm and comfortable. Of course, I would have been a lot more comfortable if I understood why she was holding me, or at least why she was in my room at the crack of dawn. But even so, her wings were impossibly soft. As my chest rose and fell with each breath, her plush feathers rubbed against my fur, spreading intense warmth through me. A delighted sigh escaped my throat.

Her eyes opened slowly, like a glacial cave melting open. They lit up at the sight of me, seeming to glimmer with unmatchable happiness. She murmured lethargically, "Good morning..."

I replied in kind, although with a little confusion, "...good morning..."

Just as I was about to ask why she was in my bed, she leaned in close and softly kissed my cheek. It couldn't have been any more clear. Wherever or whenever I was, she and I were dating. I felt myself blush at the thought. I'd never really thought about her in a romantic light.

"Mmmm I just want to lay here with you..." she hummed, smiling warmly as fresh bread.

I couldn't help but smile at the statement. It made me feel... happy. Wanted, really. I felt like someone actually cared about me as more than a friend, and it was a wonderful feeling. Before I had any idea what I was doing, I replied, "Then let's sleep the day away, love..."

--

I woke up in my room, cold beneath my sheets. There were no wings around me, nor fur pressed up to mine. I was alone in my bed in the dark. I looked out the window, seeing a quarter-moon shining brightly. Though confused by the dream, I knew one thing was certain: I'd never look at Fluttershy the same way again. The feelings that she'd instilled in me through only a dream were incredible. As I thought of her, I felt my cheeks warm up and my heart begin to race. I'd never felt such sensations at the thought of another pony before, let alone Fluttershy specifically. But I enjoyed the feelings, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized just how amazing she was. Perfect, actually. Not just amazing. Not just incredible, not just beautiful, not just sweet, not just anything. She was perfect in my eyes.

I let loose a tear as I realized I felt lonely without Fluttershy.
