My breath clouded out like frost in the morning air. Autumn had been so beautiful, so prolonged that it was hard to believe that winter was coming. And fast. I closed my eyes, slowly, in a manner that I could only believe to be graceful. For a short moment it felt like I was alone. In the frosty darkness, my breath no longer visible. And then, without a chance of stalling the moment was over. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I felt her breath in my ear. It was cold. I wasn't surprised; yet the shiver made it seem so. My eyelids slowly unveiled my eyes. A frosty blue, only a bit darker, that utterly reminded me of the winter forming around me. Then I turned my head and saw the beautiful disruption of the landscape that was my love. My heart. The special some pony who snatched my heart and held it close to hers. It’s been a few months since we met but their was no hesitation after we looked into each others eyes. Her lavender, dark, mystical eyes. Her mane swished slightly as she came forward, her snout no longer close to my neck but my mouth.

“Hey.” I breathed.

My breath was immediately a simple cloud in the air, blanketing the space between us in my oxygen. And, with the magic that I have always believed to be a huge piece of her, she carved a heart into my cloud. I blinked my blue eyes. She blinked her’s, the lavender so full I was surprised the color was not simply spilling out. And I did not the one thing that, in that moment, I knew was right. I reached my snout right through the air and kissed her.

Twilight Sparkle

My eyes opened. Hers were so blue, like the crystals I could see hanging like tightropes above her head.

"Shy, my love..." She looked up at me, her name expressing exactly how she looked.

"I'd love to stay out here with you, all night, even. But... I'm freezing."

A gave her a sly grin, stepping away from the now vanished cloud of breath that she had just created. She nodded, keeping her mouth shut tight. There was no reason to be embarrassed about her previous action - I just knew that if I did not get  back inside I would freeze completely. I turned around, knowing that she would follow me back to the cozy house that was shared, just outside of Ponyville. It was on a hill, too - an almost view of the entire world welcomed them both every morning. Applejacks apple farm was visible, along with the beginning of a mountain range in the distance. Though it didn't take the amazing view to sell us to the blue and yellow cottage, with deep brown shutters and roof. It simply took the memories Shy and I held there. Our love... we had grown up here. And we wanted our foals to grow up there, too.
