//-------------------------------------------------------// This is What True Love is... -by Shimmering Honor- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// A bump in the street... //-------------------------------------------------------// A bump in the street... “There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” Chapter 1, A bump in the street... Shimmering Honor was walking along the marble streets of Canterlot, the blue Pegasus’s mind was wondering as to what to do while on leave. His short, red striped, spiky, deep blue mane blew gently in the breeze. His Stetson hat rested on his head as he rounded a corner, and walked into somepony with a ‘bump!’ “I'm sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going.” Shimmering was rubbing the side of his head when he heard a mare talking, and looked down. On the floor was one of the most beautiful mares he had ever seen. She was midnight black with a scarlet mane and a tail with white streaks. "I do apologise." He held his hoof out to help her up, instead, she just flapped her wings and stood back up “It's no problem, really. It's my fault,” she replied. ' what a Pegasus'... Shimmering stared at the mare, his eyes almost glazing over. He shook his head. "I do insist it was my fault." He bowed his head, crossed a hoof over his chest, and spread his wings to add effect. She chuckled, and a small smile formed on her muzzle. “Such a gentlecolt, fine it's your fault, you should be ashamed.” She smiled and giggled. Shimmering couldn't help but laugh. "No need to be ashamed, accidents happen. May I introduce myself? I am Shimmering Honor at your service my lady." Again, he bowed for effect. “Midnight Winds and let's get this straight. I am no lady.” "Oh?" Shimmering was a little confused. "You are a mare, are you not? You live in Canterlot so you must have some prestige to your name, and as a duty, the Royal Guard are here to serve all in this fine city. So in my view you are a Lady." “Only by the loosest sense am I a lady.” Midnight gave him a wry smile. “It doesn't matter. Please excuse me. I must get home.” "Okay then, I hope to see you around." Shimmering Honor reluctantly headed off towards the markets. That night he couldn't get the mare out of his mind. There was something about her, something special, and he wanted to hold her, to preen her. He couldn't explain it. He headed out into the nightclubs to try and distract himself. He wasn't the only one. After that crazy meetup, Midnight went home thinking about that stallion. He was pretty cute admittedly. When she stepped through her door she collapsed onto the couch, thinking. She just couldn't get him out of her head, and a few hours later went to a club to distract herself. Shimmering Honor ended up at a club run by a pony called Vinyl Scratch. He was an old friend of hers and was able to get into the VIP section easily. He never really liked the heavy base kind of music, or nightclubs in general, but it seemed the best place to meet mares, or so he hoped. After one or two drinks, Shimmering was on the dance floor making a fool of himself with really bad dancing. A certain mare, Midnight Black walked up to him "Come with me. You need help” Shimmering was shocked... here she was again, what was her name...Midnight something.... The alcohol in his system repressing the memory…..Midnight Winds, that’s it, it must be. She said something about him needing help, so he followed her off the dance floor to a corner of the club. "What are you doing here?" he asked her. "Just having some fun. Then I saw you making a fool out of yourself. I had to rescue you." She giggled slightly bringing her hoof to her mouth to suppress it. She looked at Shimmerings’ drunken form. "You do this often?" "Eenope" Shimmering answered, a red haze coming to his cheeks. "I was actually out to distract myself from...err....from....." He couldn't finish the sentence. Hearing the hesitation and thinking of her own distraction Midnight took a chance. "From me?" "Err...well...hehe....yes." Shimmering answered, the red haze on his cheeks growing ever more visible. "So do you come out often?" He asked, not knowing why he did. "Actually yeah I do. My friend works here," her own blush started to appear on her cheeks. "Oh, who’s your friend?" Shimmering asked, noticing the blush appearing on Midnights cheeks. "His name is Frostbite. despite popular belief he is a sweet stallion". "Frostbite? Never heard of him. Well I have a friend who works here too." Shimmering said smugly, now was a time to see if he could impress her, unfortunately, the alcohol was taking effect. "Oh who is it?" Her interest was peaked by this. Shimmering simply points to the DJ. Midnights’ eyes widen in shock. "No way. You know Vinyl Scratch? I don’t believe it." Shimmering nodded his head and got up, he headed towards the stage.. he turned around and motioned for Midnight to follow. Midnight got up reluctantly and went with Shimmering to the stage. "How do you know her?" "School, we were best mates at school and stayed in contact ever since." He got to the DJ stand. "HAY, VINYL!! got a minute?" Shimmering shouted, The Unicorn mare looked around, her iconic glasses covering her eyes. "SHIMMY!" She shouts back with a big grin on her face. "Shimmy? Really?" Midnight giggles once more. "Cute." The look on Shimmering's face could have killed somepony. "Scratchy, I told you not to call me that anymore!" he replied, ignoring Midnight's laughter. "Oh boo hoo Shimmy, who's your marefriend anyway?" she asks, Shimmering's face went as red as the sun. Hearing this Midnights laughter stopped and was replaced with a huge red blush across her whole face. "I am not his marefriend" "Well you could be..." Muttered Shimmering, trying his hardest to stop his wings spreading out. "What was that... Shimmy?!" Her laughter returned as fast as it fled. He lost his will, his wings shot out, his face turned the brightest red ever and started to smoulder with embarrassment. he saw one option....FLY! Shimmering Honor shot out of the nightclub, leaving a blue and red trail behind. The moment his wings were spread Midnight knew what was coming. The moment Shimmering got out the doors Midnight had tackled him to the ground holding him down so they were looking in each other's eyes. Her chest pressed into his. "Where do you think you're going mister?" "I....err....I...errr, well, you see, awkward situations and me don't mix, throw in a few ciders and a few Sonic Shots and you have one stupid, nervous, unable to control his mouth Pegasus that can never get a marefriend..." He said, small tears started to form in his eyes. "Can never get a…. is that what this whole thing is about? You can’t get a marefriend? Big deal. I haven’t a good stallion in years. Hell the last one left me for my freaking brother. Good terms sure but not one for me. I’m not complaining though." " AND there you go... alcohol add a nervous Pegasus equals I CAN'T CONTROL MY BUCKING MOUTH!" He somehow manages to wiggle out of Midnight's grip and shoots straight up.. "Why Shimmering Honor? why? there you have a cute mare and you blow it YET ABUCKINGGAIN!!!" he screams as he flies away. Just as he starts moving he gets tackled into a cloud. "Stop running. I am faster than you. Just explain things." "I am a royal guard sergeant...how the...but...I went through training...I...n..n...no!" Shimmering stutters and takes up a defensive position on the cloud. "I'm the daughter of a Wonderbolt. My cutie mark literally represents my speed at night. I am fast in the day but i’m faster when the sun goes down. Now tell me what the problem is cutie, okay?" Shimmering was shocked. Cutie, did she just call me bucking cutie. "Wonderbolt daughter....My family has a history with the Trottingham branch" He said, trying to steer the conversation away. "Fleetfoot is my mother. Now stop avoiding the question. What's the problem?” "Fine then...." Shimmering's ears drop and he lies against the cloud. "I have never had a marefriend, I was bullied as a foal for being flightless and so decided to jump off the tallest tower in the city, fortunately, and a somewhat cruel twist of fate, a Unicorn foal fell out of a window two floors below me, I then jumped to save her life. That's when I started to fly. That Unicorn was Vinyl Scratch, that's when I also got my cutie mark of a shield to signal I was a protector. I joined the Royal Guard and  here I am now, an unqualified, dyslexic and dyscalculia sergeant who protects ponies." He finally said. "I have had so much bucking bad luck in my life, I often wonder why I carry on.." Tears rolling down his cheeks. "I get drunk once a month and find a thunderstorm to beat up... I can never show my true emotions to anyone... and I always end up saying something I regret not two seconds later... like what I muttered in the club...I am a useless Pony and deserve all the bad luck I get...maybe then somepony will get my share of good luck." Shimmering was a ball of tears by this point, he had curled up into a ball and was covering himself with his wings... and now she will fly away, not wanting anything to do with pussy pony like me, they always do. He thought to himself....he waited for the inevitable sound of a pony taking off from the clouds. Midnight stayed silent a moment before she turned his head to face her and kissed him, Shimmering's eyes shot wide with shock. "Why? why kiss me? why not fly off like the rest of them?" he asked. “Because...." tears filling her own eyes. "I know what it's like" "What?" was all he could say. "I know how you feel.... I won’t go into detail but.... I know your pain in a different way" She kisses him again as she chokes back sobs. Shimmering Honor’s wings slowly uncurl and shot back out... "Thanks, I am sorry for running away..." he apologized. "Don't be sorry. I get it.... well.... I’ll be your marefriend Shimmy" She smiles slightly with tears running down her cheeks. Shimmering Honor goes into a state of shock... his wings go as hard as stone, while the rest of his body goes limp… Midnight Winds presses herself into Shimmering’s coat nuzzling his chest and breathing in his furs scent "Is that alright?" Shimmering stares blankly at the sky....after a few seconds "yes" he replies. Midnight sequels happily as she presses herself closer. Shimmering giggles as a wide smile appeared on his muzzle. "I know what you mean" he looks at the mare and kisses her… they soon drifted off to sleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// Awakening on a cloud //-------------------------------------------------------// Awakening on a cloud "My heart is, and always will be, yours." Chapter 2. Awaking on a cloud Shimmering's ears drop and he lies against the cloud. "I have never had a marefriend, I was bullied as a foal for being flightless and so decided to jump off the tallest tower in the city, fortunately, and a somewhat cruel twist of fate, a Unicorn foal fell out of a window two floors below me, I then jumped to save her life.

Shimmering stares blankly at the sky....after a few seconds "yes" he replies. Midnight sequels happily as she pressed herself closer. Shimmering giggled as a wide smile appeared on his muzzle. "I know what you mean" he looks at the mare and kisses her… they soon drifted off to sleep. Shimmering Honor awoke with a start...how long had he been out? He looked down at his chest and to his surprise, there was a mare with her head on his chest. He tried to get up slowly so as to not disturb her. However his cautious movement did nothing as Midnight awoke with a start. "Oh... Shimmy it's you... we are still out here? huh thought it was a dream for a second... but then I saw you" She kissed him, gently pressing their lips together. Shimmering returned the kiss, when they pull apart, he looked around.... "Do you think it is sunrise, or sunset?" he asked noticing the position of the sun. “hmm... it's in the... East so its sunrise. if you're wondering how I know that? Ponyville is south of Canterlot. The sun is over there in between them which means it's in the east. The sun always rises in the east. Celestia is like that." "That's good, what happened last night, I remember going to the club and meeting you, but what did I say, what did I do... I didn't hit anypony did I?" Shimmering asked. “You had a couple of emotional.... moments then.... i kissed you and... became your marefriend" Midnight blushed deeply as she chuckled awkwardly "But if you change your mind now that you're sober.... I’d understand." "And you pass the test... I do apologise, but I often do a test of truth the day after I end up drinking, especially if I end up waking up with a mare, which has never happened till this morning. Anyhoof, my memory is as clear as anything, I am sorry for deceiving you, I have trust issues.” Shimmering looked sadly at the mare. “Eh i don't really care... so... you going to leave me now?” Shimmering sat back down on the cloud and looked at the sky... after a few moments he simply said. "Why, should I?" Then he realised what he had said, his eyes shrank. "SORRY...no..sorry, shouldn't have said that, shouldn't have said that!" Shimmering shouted to himself and started to beat a hoof against his head. "Damitdamitdamit, suchanasssuchanass...I am so sorry Midnight...you can fly away if you want...I am used to it." Shimmering turned away and laid back down on the cloud, holding back the tears. "You have REALLY low self esteem don't you?" She got down beside him kissing his cheek. "Eeyup... But what can I do, everything I say is wrong, as you said, I have really low self esteem, lack of confidence... I am just an accident waiting to happen, or have I already happened!" Shimmering couldn't hold back the tears…and just great, I am crying again, in front of the cutest mare I have ever seen, how weak am I, she will definitely leave now, nopony wants to be near a weakling like me. he thought to himself, not realizing he had muttered every single word. Midnight stood up and laid on top of Honor's back "I don't care. you can be who you are. That doesn't change a thing in my eyes. when I met you I thought you were cute and kind. You are cute and kind. I don't care that you’re emotional or anything. I actually think that makes you better than other stallions". Shimmering's wings pop out in a flash. "you know, that is... sniff the kindest thing anypony has ever said to me..." "And I meant every word" She nuzzled into Honor's neck affectionately. "I really like you Shimmy. It will take a lot more to get me to go" "You don’t know how much that means to me...." he replied. "I doubt I ever will." She stands and walks to face him but trips. Midnight falls straight back onto Shimmering giving him a face full of her sweet folds without even realizing "I'm so sorry Shimmy!" When Midnight got off his face, Shimmering's face was the brightest red ever imaginable. "Err..what, how, why, I...ow, my wings, they feel really heavy!" He looks back to see his wings are straining to get as straight as possible causing him immense pain. "I'm so sorry about that. This stupid cloud tripped me. are you ok?" "Tripped, on a cloud?, how does....you know what forget it, but yeah I am fine, just don't really wanna get up right now..." "Oh um... that is fine. I will go grab us some breakfast. we can eat up here." She flies off the cloud. Shimmering watches her fly off....his heart flutters as he watches her. "Is that mare for real...She is so sweet, I break down in front of her and she still wants to stay with me... I, can't believe it, must be dreaming." Shimmering lies on his back and raises a hoof, he drives it down into his stomach. "No...definitely not dreaming" he rolls over and laid his head against the soft cloud, a small tear of joy rolled from his eye as he drifted back to sleep. It felt like seconds had passed when Midnight returned waking Shimmering from his slumber. "Come on sleepy head. The food is gonna get cold." He awoke with a start, the sudden voice in his ear shocking him, he instinctively jumped backwards and missed the edge of the cloud, falling with a small welp. Midnight jumped after him and caught him within seconds "We are both clutzes huh?" she giggled and brought him back to the cloud, his cheeks burning a deep red. "So what did you do while I was gone? Beat the morning wood like the other stallions I know?" "I...err...no, no, I checked to see if I was dreaming...and I never said I had morning wood!" "Doesn't mean you didn't. It would explain why you didn't want to stand, just so you could keep your dick hidden" She giggled. Shimmering's cheeks get another dose of red haze... then he notices a slight gleam on one of Midnight's hoofs. "So, do you often polish just the one hoof, or is that something else?" He asked smugly. "Huh?" She looked down at her hoof "I don't polish. I never have time to." "Then you must have had time to do a little beating of your own, the sun has moved enough for an hour to have passed" Shimmering pointed to the sky. Midnight blushed deeply and turned her head "I have no idea what you're talking about." "oh ha-ha.." Shimmering said and leaned down to her hoof and gave it a lick. "Tastes familiar.” Midnight yelped in surprise and pulled her hoof back. "Please don't do that!" Shimmering Honor just laughed. "Oh come on, at least clean up afterwards...." "I don’t know what you're talking about" "Oh really?" Shimmering lifted his head up and smiled. "Remember a certain little trip? and what took you an hour to get food?" he asked. "... fine i did... so what?" "Oh nothing, just trying to get you back is all, Anyhoof, what do we have to eat? I am a wee bit nippy, or should I say licky" he winked at Midnight resulting in a smirk appearing on her muzzle "Your funny Shimmy." "I try when I am not in a spiral of self hate...anyhoof, where is the food?" "It's over here"  Midnight turned and bent down just as her tail swished giving Shimmering another look at her slightly moist folds. Shimmering jumped forward and planted his muzzle between Midnights legs, sticking his tongue out as he made contact. Midnight yelped and flew upwards. "WHAT WAS THAT?! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" "Sorry, I don't know what came over me..." He dropped his head in shame, then took off and flew away. "STUPID STUPID STUPID!!!" He screams, using his forehooves to beat his head. He was once again tackled to a cloud "Would you PLEASE stop running away! You don't have to! I was surprised. Its fine really." "But I bucked up, mares hate that, I told you, all I ever do is buck up!" He yelled trying to struggle free. "WOULD YOU BUCKING STOP!" She slapped him across the muzzle. "JUST CALM DOWN!" she then kissed him gently on the lips. "I have never know anypony go from slapping me to kissing me, I am sorry Midnight, I really am... I am just so stupid at times..." Shimmering lowered his head. She lifted it again and kissed him once more, Shimmering returned the kiss with an equally passionate one to the lips. "just... don't worry about it" When she stood she saw a wet spot in his fur, causing her to blush brighter than ever. Shimmering saw a glimmer from between Midnights legs and felt a wet patch on his fur. "Well at least someone liked it" "I guess i'm going into heat... well that's an issue." "Yeah, that can be an issue...err....OH, why didn't I think of this...VINYL!" A twinkle of a plan formed in his eyes. Midnight thought for a second then drew to a conclusion. "I am not having sex with Vinyl and i'm not having a three way either!" "NO SILLY FILLY! Magic... I could see if she knows a spell to help you... but a three way does sound interesting..." Shimmering looked up and to the left, jokingly pondering the scene. She pushed him slightly with her wet hoof and laughed. "Yep. I got myself a comedian" "Awesome...so shall we get back to the food?" He said, slowly flying back towards the cloud that had become their picnic cloud.. “Sure.” she flew back with him nuzzling his cheek. After eating their food, Shimmering decided he needed to get cleaned up. "Midnight, I need to go back to my hotel, I need to wash up, do you want to come with or meet up later?" He asked. "I am not leaving your side." She sucks gently on her dirty hoof with an innocent face. "Unless you want me to go?" "Okay then, follow me..." He flew off towards Canterlot. Midnight followed behind staring at Honor's flank before nuzzling it gently. "Oh, and you don't like it when I surprise you." He smirked, they soon reached the hotel. The walls and windows had seen better days and the sign looked like it was about to fall off. "You stay here? As a guard couldn't you be doing better? My brother is a guard and he makes a fortune." Midnight looked disgusted. “It's only a hotel, my real home is on the barracks...but they don't let you stay there while on leave, plus this was the only booking I could get..." He walked in observing the paint peeling off the walls. They headed upstairs to a small room. "Here we are..." he opened the door, a musty smell filled the hall, inside was a small living room, the chairs had been stacked on one side of the room  a few clouds were thrown into the centre to act as a sofa and chair. "The bedroom is over there," he pointed to a open door, the bed was up against the wall, another large cloud hung near the floor. "And the kitchen is there..." he pointed to a dirty kitchen. "And the bathroom is connected to the bedroom....not much, but beats a Fox hole any day." He smiled as he stood in the middle of the room, a ceiling tile falling towards the floor behind him, kicking up a large cloud of dust. "...Hun you are checking out. Now! You are moving in with me! Now!" Midnight looked around flapping her wings so she didn't even touch the floor. "but...but....I... fine, let me get my uniforms.." Shimmering walked into the bedroom and came out with three big olive drab bags in tow or thrown across his back. They were the size of ponies themselves, two were flat and easily foldable, yet one had a big lump at one end, the last was bulky and heavy looking. Midnight grabbed one of the bags. "Here let me help with that. Looks pretty heavy for one stallion." She kissed Shimmering on the muzzle before heading towards the door. “WAIT!..stop, that one is a Prototype...here, have my Parade dress.." he hoofed her the thinner of the three bags. "I can carry the rest." "Oh... ok then..." Midnight traded bags with Honor and proceeded out the door. "Just so you know. I live with my brother at our families mansion. been in the family for 6 generations" "Ma...Ma...ma...mansion!" Shimmering stops in his tracks and stares at Midnight, his mouth wide open, pupils the size of a bit... //-------------------------------------------------------// A Change of Scenery //-------------------------------------------------------// A Change of Scenery “Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.” Chapter 3, **A Change of Scenery.** (Caution, CLOP starts here.) "Hmm? yeah. we kind of.... have a lot of bits.... millions actually." Midnight Storm said nervously, she never liked talking about her wealth. Shimmering Honor stood there, mouthing the word mansion over and over, before taking the bag off Midnights back and rushing into the bathroom… SLAM! “What are you doing? Midnight asked, she gently hovered over to the clean cloud in the middle of the filthy hotel room. Shimmering didn’t reply, a few minutes later, he reappeared from the Bathroom. He had changed into his Parade dress, it was bright red with golden trimmings, two white decorative belts crossed his chest and formed a cross, on his right shoulder was the Sergeant rank badge and on the left side was a strange insignia, it was a set of blue wings within a circle. “What...why have you changed?” asked a confused Midnight. “Well, I am going to your home, which is a mansion and so I want to make a good impression… oh, didn’t you say your brother was in the royal guard?” “Impression!, Shimmy, My brother won’t care and my mother is away on tour. And Yes Evening is in the guard, I am not good at ranks, but I think he is a lieutenant, something to do with right hoof pony to the Captain.” Midnight racked her brain to remember more details. “Lieu...lieu...lieutenant...right hoof to the Captain...oh dear” Shimmering stammered. “Problem?” She simply asked. “Yes, he is my superior, if, no, WHEN he finds out… I could be in deep trouble, and it may look bad for him and... and…” His mind was going a mile a minute, ever worst case scenario playing out in his mind's eye. “Don’t worry about it, he won’t care, I promise.” Midnight tried to reassure him, “Now, get out of that suit lets go.” She almost commanded Shimmering, he reluctantly went into the Bathroom and changed back, he walked out wearing his Stetson hat, sunglasses and a denim jacket. He took the two larger bags as Midnight to the one with his Parade dress. As they left the foyer of the decaying hotel, Shimmering turned to his marefriend. “So, why not tell me a bit about yourself, I mean you pretty much know me after my outbursts last night.” A deep red blush appeared on his cheeks as he remembered his embarrassment. "Hehe... what would you like to know?" "Your job...how you earned your millions, anything, you pretty much know my bad stuff, so you could add some light to this relationship." Shimmering replied with a small smile. "Hehe... I'm a doctor at Canterlot hospital. I’m a surgeon... of all that sort of stuff. I also work in the children's clinic on a regular basis" She smiles mentioning the kids, remembering their smiles and laughter.. "It's a fun job that one but the surgery is... grim" her face dropped remembering the stress and heartache, especially when she had to pass on bad news. Shimmering quivered at the mention of surgery, his mind a rush with memories. "Surgeon, oh dear..." She looked over. "Bad experience or something?" She rested her head on his neck, nuzzling it gently. "You could say that... also when it comes to operations... I tend to be a bit of a weak stomach type...can deal with the dead fine...but talk about living organisms and operating on them and I tend to faint." He smiled nervously, his face going a lighter shade of blue, his mind’s eye going over scenes from that terrible day. "Well it doesn't matter too much. not like I’ll be letting you sit on an operation..." She giggled softly, a sweet scent starts drifting from her fur, more evidence that she was in heat. Shimmering smiled happily at the sweet smell that was filling his nose. Oh Celestia, what I wouldn't do to....no...you can’t she is in heat, bad idea....but it smells so goood. He shook his head to try and remove the thoughts, but a slight twitch from down below made him more nervous. Midnight kept rubbing her body against him. "Hey, Evening doesn’t get home for a couple hours... would you like to... you know?" "err...but, heat?" Shimmering felt the twitch again. "So? What does it matter? We both want it. I can tell... your heart, I feel it racing." she whispers in his ear seductively. "But what if the Lieutenant walks in...." “I told you. we have hours. It’s fine" They reached the house. It was a large three story granite building, within a walled off area, there where statues of Pegasi, Unicorns and Earth ponies, large bushes cut into all sorts of designs and shapes and fountains stood either side of the path in. The front door was made of  very grand looking oak, which shone with almost a golden glow in the morning light. Four massive columns held up a large balcony above the door. "Come on. my room is on the 3rd floor" "Can I Have somewhere to put my suits first please..." He asked, taking in all the beauty of the house and the mare that lived in it. "Yeah. you can get a room. let's go... I want you as soon as possible" She turned around and gave him her best bed room eyes "Okay...." I am about to lose it....awesome Shimmering smiled happily, yet deep down he was nervous, What if he didn’t please her? What if he ended too soon? What if he did something wrong? what if he got her pregnant? All these worries ran through his head. Midnight turned on the nervous stallion and planted a loving kiss on his lips, before spinning round and flicking her tail out of the way, her dripping wet pussy visible for his viewing while she headed towards the house. Shimmering just stared, his tongue hanging out as he followed behind her. The scents from her drove him crazy with lust. She giggles for a moment before stopping suddenly, Shimmering's muzzle ended up planted between her legs. His tongue automatically stuck out as his muzzle makes contact with her sweet folds. Midnight gasps quietly at the contact and pushes back slightly, taking more Shimmering’'s muzzle further inside her. "Oh Shimmy.... lets hurry!" "hm hough huo haid he hhd hhurs?" His response was muffled by her flank. She moves forward slightly for him to repeat himself. “I thought you said we had hours?” “We do but... we aren't even in the house yet" She blushes looking around. "Luckily nopony is out right now.” Shimmering stood back, his face a deep red from the lust and embarrassment. "I still need to drop my stuff off... Let's just get in, please!" He almost begged She giggled as she opens the door. As Shimmering entered, she closed it before pulling him into a tight embrace with a powerful kiss. Shimmering melted into her embrace and carelessly dropped the bags with a loud thud and clank. He pressed his tongue to her lips, they part and their tongues dance within the two mouths. Midnight instantly drops him to the couch kissing him so passionately it was hard to breathe. Shimmering's legs and crotch were soaked with her juice as she grinded her nether lips against him. With a flap of his wings, he flipped midnight onto her back, he slowly started to kiss his way down her stomach. She moaned softly as she said "Oh c- come o- on. Do you n- not like a mare wh- who takes con- control?" She giggled for a moment more but it quickly changed into more moans of pleasure. Shimmering didn't answer, he continued his advance downwards, he started to kiss up one of her hind legs... careful to avoid the most sensitive part. Teasing her and making her wait more. "Oh I hate you" she moans again "but i can’t help loving you more." She arched her back a bit as the heat in her nethers rose. Shimmering smiled as he gently blew across her wet pussy lips, a wave of pure bliss rushed up Midnights back and to her out stretched wings "Ahh..." is all she can manage before she spasmed a bit from a small orgasm. Shimmering gently kissed her opening, before attacking it with his tongue. She let out a loud cry of pleasure as wrapping her hind legs around his head pulling him deeper into her dripping pussy. Shimmering licked up and down her slit, he paid some attention to her clitoris, sucking and nibbling on it instinctively. "OH CELESTIA!" she cried out again. "Please. give me more Shimmy. please." She begged him. Shimmering stuck his tongue inside her pussy and started to wiggle it about. He managed to just scrape the sacred spot, the ever elusive G-spot. She continued to spasm and moan in ecstasy as her love juices flowed on to his muzzle and into his mouth. He could sense her getting closer, he pulled his tongue away and gently blew across her lips and clit. "OHH please don’t stop. I am so close Shimmy." She pouted at his withdrawal. He blew across her lips once again as a hoof started to gently rub at her clit She bucked and kicked her legs about, she moaned deeply as she was toppled over the edge, sending her into an orgasmic bliss. Her fem cum sprayed all over his hoof, face and across the couch as her eyes roll back in her head, her mind awash with ecstasy from the strongest orgasm she had ever experienced. Shimmering stood up once she released her legs from around his head... his stallionhood poking out from under him, greedily wanting attention. She gasped for breath as she came down from her high "that w- was... great..." “First time for everything" Shimmy Smiled... He just stood next to the couch with a dumb look on his face. "Err. now what?" He asked, unsure if she could take anymore. "Well that's up to you, but..." She giggles as she looks at his member’s tip, it seemed almost ready to explode. "I'd say you’d like to keep going." "That's what I was asking...what shall we do now, you had your turn, I want mine" He laughed as his stallionhood bounced.. he jumped up onto the couch and kissed Midnight on the lips, gently pushing his tongue against her lips. She parted her lips and accepted his tongue as she once again used her hooves to draw him close. This time though his cock was pressed against her nethers rather than his muzzle. Shimmering rolled over and spread his legs to let the mare...no..his marefriend better access. She was instantly on top of him pressing her lips to his in a fiery kiss of passion as her hips kept grinding and wetting his member. Shimmering gently pushed up with his hips, wanting to get inside her. She moved with him knowing what was going to happen. "Uh uh uh. not going to be that quick and easy for you." She teased. Shimmering just pulled a puppy dog face. She smiled at Shimmering. "Cute but it won't work on me. Sorry." She kissed him again as she rubbed along his throbbing hot length, more of her juices lubricating him and matting his fur. Shimmering could feel his 21 inch stallionhood throbbing, wanting to get some form of attention Midnight looked down and finally saw his full size. "Wow... your  big boy aren’t ya?" “Err...I don't know, never really had anything to compare it too…” Shimmering smiles awkwardly. "Its fine darling" Shimmering started to move his hips again, the burning in his stallionhood and heart demanded he do something. "Ready when you are Shimmy" She whispered seductively, her bedroom eyes locked with his. Shimmering slowly slid his cock head up and down her slit, before gently pressing at her folds. she gasps deeply as she readies herself. As the first inch slowly made its way in, Shimmering's pupils shrank to pinhead sizes...it was so warm, moist and tight...he was in heaven. Midnight groaned in pleasure as Honor started to penetrate her sopping pussy. she wrapped her hooves around him and moaned. As more and more of him entered...a sudden realization hit him, he pulled out quickly and went to get up, a small tear in his eye. She groaned once more as he pulled out and whimpered slightly. "Why did you stop?" “Midnight....I can't...I...I ...don’t want to get you pregnant and...you're in heat...and I maybe in heat....and I had no birth control potion and…” Shimmering's mind was running a mile a minute...here was this sexy mare basically handing herself to him, and he was worried about her being pregnant. I am such a moron She stared at him blinking. "I have that covered... trust me. you can do anything you want. I won't get pregnant" She smiles reassuringly. "But...you...heat...and...heat...and...babies....brother...lieutenant ...and...death..." Shimmering stammered as he breathed heavily, fear growing in his mind... "Trust me Shimmy. It will be fine. I would never lie to you." But I guess I will hide the truth occasionally.. she thought, remembering the deep dark memories locked away, never to be mentioned… that is what she feared. "But...how? How can you not get pregnant...its...unless...you knew...and...." She just giggled once more "don’t question it. just enjoy it" She almost ordered him. Shimmering leaned in and kissed her...pressing his tongue to her lips. She pulls him close and with her hind legs forces him inside her once more. He goes all the way in and gasps... "Ohh Celestia...that's...so...warm..." he was trying his hardest not to blow right there and then. "Can you suck me off first please, I think....I might....be too...close...to enjoy this" he asked, he didn't want to cum too early inside her. She just smiled warmly and dropped her legs away from him. "If you want" Shimmering smiles as he pulls out again and lies on his back. Midnight shifted so Shimmering's throbbing member was by her face. "To think, we just met yesterday," a smile on her face as she eyed his member greedily. "Yeah...and now two of my dreams have come true," His member slowly bobbing up and down as he breathed. "Oh?" She gently drags her tongue across the swollen crown "How so?" Shimmering gasped at the sensation, a wave of bliss ran to his wings and shot them out. “Well...I have a marefriend...and two... I am having...sex...so...win win.....really" he said between breaths. “... You're a virgin? Oh... wow. never knew that. ok" She said, shocked at the revelation. "I am sure I have mentioned it before.” "I don’t remember if you did... oh well. those days are over for you" She dragged her tongue up his length from bottom to top and swirled her tongue on the top of his crown. His back arched as he groaned. She giggled more before taking the head into her mouth and looking up at him with an innocent look. Every bit of his will screamed at him not to blow at the image that was now pleasurably burnt into his mind. Holding her look she slowly dropped her head down his length. taking it inch by thick and throbbing inch. Midnight swirled her tongue around Shimmering's shaft. "GASP....oh....my....GASP....that's....so....haaaa....so....nice....." he was in bliss...it was the best feeling he ever had...pure ecstasy ran through his veins. Midnight smiled and faster than expected she slammed her head down his full length taking it into her throat. Shimmering could easily see it expand as she did so. "OH....CELESTIA....." he was trying so hard to hold back just a little longer, please… hold back...hold back. She swallowed his cock, massaging it with her throat. She held her innocent gaze as she did. “I am not going to hold long...keep going, pleease" Shimmering groaned at the sensation...it was so weird, yet so... so...awesome. She pulled up and slammed back down his cock over and over, deep throating every time. Shimmering arched his back... the sensations of the movement alone sent shockwaves of pleasure coursing through his body... Lets pick it up.She thought. After a moment Shimmering felt her mouth and throat get hotter. Not painful, only more pleasurable. How? how was she doing that? It was too much for the stallion, without warning his testicles tightened...his cock throbbed and his gooey juices erupted in her mouth. //-------------------------------------------------------// Awkward moments with the Brother //-------------------------------------------------------// Awkward moments with the Brother “You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.” Chapter 4: Awkward moments with the Brother [clop continues] How? how was she doing that? it was too much for the stallion, without warning his testicles tightened...his cock throbbed and his gooey juices erupted in her mouth. Midnight shot a surprised look upto Shimmering, his cock still in her mouth. But her eyes close half way as she swallows every drop of his salty cum. Shimmering just rode the wave of ecstasy that rushed over his body as stream after stream of his cum erupted from his dick. Midnight just kept swallowing every drop Honor gave her. After awhile it finally slowed and stopped, Midnight released his cock from her mouth with a sluty pop.. "Wow... you taste amazing Shimmy" She said with excitement. Shimmering just kept his eyes shut as his high ended. "Sorry....should...should...have....warned you...." he panted for breath. "No its fine... ready for the main course?" she asked with a sluty grin "Yeah..." Shimmering said excitedly as he looked down at his marefriend, lust filling his emerald eyes. "Then come get me" She laid down on her back and opened her legs wide, showing him her sopping wet pussy. It tightened and winked constantly at him. Shimmering got up and made his way over Midnight quickly, she just laying there, waiting for him to enter her once again. Shimmering got on top of her, muzzle to muzzle...His wings as straight as they could get, the feathers vibrated with anticipation and ecstasy. She leaned up and pressed her lips to Honors, rubbing her pussy against his cock, getting it well lubricated. With her hind hooves she pulled him inside her with a deep moan. Shimmering groaned as the tight, warm love canal enveloped his member...he stayed still for a moment, loving the feeling before he slowly started moving his hips back and forth. Midnight moaned once more as he started thrusting his throbbing member into her. As he started to thrust into her, she pressed into him with her hips, taking his hot cock deeper. "GASP...this....is....I...think...I...may....be...GASP" Shimmering tried to speak through his gasps of pleasure. "M- may be w- what?" she moaned louder as she wrapped her forehooves around his neck and nuzzled into him Shimmering just stopped moving and looked into her eyes. "in Love with you" he said with a smile on his face. Midnight looked at the stallion above her, her heart was racing, it felt hot inside her chest, it felt like it would explode... She smiled to him before using her wings and throwing herself up into the air, Shimmering being pulled along, She flipped and forced downward,ending up on top. She slammed down his length taking the whole shaft before whispering in his ear "Me too" Shimmering felt his cock twitch, he started to slowly move his hips again, gently rutting the mare on top of him. Midnight bounced on Honors cock in time with his own light thrusts. She moaned a little, then leans down, whispering to him "harder. fuck me harder Shimmy" Shimmerings eyes widen... she wants it harder… He starts to move faster, but still trying to keep a slow speed so as to not hurt her. Midnight moaned louder as she bounced, increasing her speed and vigor.Each time their hips meet she would grind on his base Shimmerings mind clicked, something inside of him changed, the speed Midnight was going sent wave after wave of pleasure coursing round his body, his hips instinctively increasing in speed. She groaned in pleasure at the sudden increase in tempo. Midnight leaned against Honor and moans out the words "I’m close again" "Good,..." Shimmering starts to really go for it, his hind legs pushing down and forcing himself up into her, the sound of furry flesh slapping filled the room.... When she fell this last time she went rigid her pussy contracting hard against Honors cock as she came across his throbbing member soaking his groin and the couch in her juices. He could feel her pussy clenching and pulsating on his cock...it was amazing, He was gone...he joined her in orgasmic bliss as he emptied another load into her. : She cried in pleasure as Honor filled her womb with his hot thick seed. It was an amazing feeling. One that after awhile settled her body into a sweet blissful state. Shimmering kept perfectly still, his mind blank, he just enjoyed the feeling of his member convulsing as it filled her... then the sound of a door opening brought him back to reality. "Midnight, I am ho...who's are these backs?" A voice called out. Midnights eyes shot wide and her head snapped around, looking at the archway, she looked back at him and mouthed Evening. She started to blush and called out "Um its my friends. I’m holding onto them for awhile" She looked at Honor with a look saying it wasn’t really a lie. "Oh...then why are they military issue...wait, one has a set of armour in it..Midnight? what’s going on?" Hoofs could be heard approaching the room... Shimmerings heart sank, Evening Storm was home, his superior and his sister still had his stallion hood inside her...panic set in. She threw him off her and went in there to intercept Evening giving Honor a chance to calm his member. "Like I said. Friend. Your home really early. I never got a chance to make dinner. How was work?" "Work was fine...who is this new friend then? why does he have military wear? and...*SNIFF SNIFF*..whats that smell?" Shimmering noticed the window and decided to fly out, he pressed his back to the wall outside "I don't smell anything" She sniffs but easily smells the musk she had made oh fuck i forgot about the couch! "Well my friend is a guard. duh" "Oh...is he?" He tried to push past Midnight. "Who is he and what rank is he?" She pushed him back. "We are talking here mister. He is a sergeant" "Sergeant huh?....SERGEANT, I order you to show yourself... I know you’re there, I am a Lieutenant!!" Shimmering Gulped and checked himself, he flew into the room and slowly poked his head round the door, he got a look at Evening and Saluted. "Sergeant Shimmering Honor sir, Royal Guard and Special Prototype Division!" Evening was a light blue pegasus stallion with a dark blue mane with a yellow stripe through the center. His cutie mark was a tornado crossed by twin bolts of lightning. Midnight looked at her brother angrily. "Calm the hell down Evening. I’m your big sister" "Sergeant Shimmering Honor hmm..." He ignored his sister and got past her, he looked over they stallion, he was also blue with dark blue mane, but with a maroon strip, a shield for a cutie mark... he also looked incredible nervous, then he noticed his fur glistening on his underside, along with his muzzle.. "Been having a little rut have we?" His sister got even more mad. "EVENING!" She pressed him to the wall. "How dare you. Even if we did it is none of your business!" Shimmering just stared, all of his training told him that what Midnight did was wrong, attacking a superior . But he still couldn't shake the fact she was also his brother… "Well.." Evening started, he looked cross.." Did you sergeant? Did you rut my Sister?" "Evening I am telling you to stop right now" she started to tear up as her voice cracked "I am sorry Sis...but, I don’t want you getting hurt like last time..." Tears formed in Evenings eye "you shouldn’t worry about me. thats my job for you" She hugged him tight. "Please stop" "BUT...fine" Evening gave in to his sister… Shimmering slowly made his way to the window.. "I will be off then..." She turned. "No youll be staying for dinner" She turned to Evening "And you ARE going to play nice" "YES MA'AM" they both salute, then burst into a fit of giggles She smiled happily as she entered the kitchen. Evening looked at Honor "So... when did it happen?" Shimmering snapped to attention, "I don't know what you mean Sir!" "Rut her. Date her. Whatever" Evening replied nonchalantly. "Err... Well Sir, I meet her yesterday, and we ended up meeting again at a nightclub and then a cloud and...uhm, yeah, Sir!" Shimmering Blushed, while still stood at attention. He rolled his eyes "At ease... look I’m sorry. I’m just extremely protective of her since the last guy... no hard feelings. I don’t mind you guys being together" he smiled. Shimmering visible relaxed...the blush intensifying on his cheeks. "Well, I ain't going to tell to much sir, that's not my business and I don't know how open you two are..." He replied, rubbing the back of his neck, he picked up his bags from the front door. "Is there anywhere I can square this away sir? Your sister kind of evicted me from the hotel" he says with a nervous smile. “I’ll get you a room later. We are extremely open with each other. We tell each other everything. Even our... sex lives" A blush played over Evenings face and he looked away shyly. "Oh....okay, well I will let her tell you sir, I mean, you are my superior and I don't yet feel comfortable disclosing personal info like that, I do apologies Sir" Shimmering set the bags down carefully on the floor and opened them up to check the contents, inside one was the standard golden armour, the other had his civilian and parade dress in, while the last had something Evening hadn't seen before, inside was a black flight suit with a large full face helmet. “Well i doubt she will tell me. right now think of me as a friend. Not a guard" He looked over Shimmerings shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse as to why he had so many bags. "Yes si...I mean okay Evening" Shimmering tried to pull a convincing smile, making him look a little freaky, he went back to checking the flight suit. "Ah, good, not damaged.... they would have killed me if I broke the prototype" "What is that thing?" Evening asked. "this...its a prototype flight suit, err what is your security clearance?" Shimmering started to slowly zip up the bag. "Class 1. same as the captain." "Oh...okay, well then, this is the new Prototype flight combat suit" he pulled it out the bag, he laid it out on the floor then got the helmet out. "As you know we are at war with the changelings and this is going to be our new way to fight them in the air. The guard found that they were faster than us and the armour we have weighs us down, so they developed this.. it has hardened fabric, something about magic coating and the helmet helps protect our faces and head, it also means we can fly at faster speeds, turn faster and see better...its very complicated and I am not 100% sure how it works, all I know is that I test it.” "hmm interesting but I won’t be needing something like that. Last time I fought I went in without armor at all" "Wow, I think I heard about that one...anyway, enough military, I am sure Midnight doesn’t want to hear about it when she gets back." He laughed "Probably not. Alright so tell me. what exactly happened?" "huh, when?" Shimmering blushed, knowing what Evening was asking, he looked down to still see his matted fur from his and Midnight's 'fun' He smiled "You know when" "Nooo...no I don't" He blushed deeper as he stood and placed the bags on one side of the room then sat in a chair. "Oh come on. just tell me" "But...I want to speak to Midnight about it first, mind if I go talk to her for a second.?" He stood back up... "Sure go on ahead" Evening said as he sat down. Shimmering bows his head and exits the room looking for Midnight. "Midnight!" he called out...trying not to get lost in the mansion. She called "In here sweetie!" Shimmering turned around and found the kitchen. "Midnight, your brother is asking questions about our...errm...fun we had, what do I say?" the look of nervousness present on his face. She giggled "figures. just tell him. nothing wrong with that is there?" "Not for you maybe...he already said you two are open, but, he is your brother, my superior...and, I...I...feel really awkward about talking freely and openly about who you rut and details...I... You know what my mouth is like" Sudden realization of the innuendo just shot through his mind. She giggled "I do but thats not a problem. Evening is like me. He has been through alot just like me. we share a similar past. please. just satiate his curiosity and he will leave it alone after a few questions." she leaned in and kissed his cheek "okay, anything for you." he leans in and kissed her cheek before turning around and leaving the room, not before giving her flank a gentle brush with his tail. She moans softly as his tail brushes her. she quickly turned around and planted a kiss his balls, giggling as he jumps from the sudden contact. Shimmering went back to the living room and quickly sat down and crossed his legs, "So...what do you want to know?" he asked, gulping with fear... Evening smiled warmly "Everything." "Well...." Shimmering took a deep breath and a cold sweat started to form on his brow "I bumped into your sister yesterday while walking through the city, I thought she was beautiful and amazing, we spoke briefly and then went our separate ways, I got home later and couldn't stop thinking about her, so I went to a nightclub. I had a few to drink and soon was dancing like a fool, thats when Midnight appeared and pulled me to one side, we spoke, I tried to show off and impress her by saying I knew the DJ, which I did, we spoke to the DJ. Who embarrassed me with an old nickname, she then asked if Midnight was my marefriend, when she said no I muttered that I wished she was. Midnight heard this and I got embarrassed more, I flew off.. she planted me into the ground, I had a small emotional outburst and flew off again, she planted me into a cloud...then I broke down and basically cried my life out...she kissed me and then said she would like to be my marefriend, fell asleep on a cloud, woke up, she went and got breakfast, I broke down some more. Went to my hotel to clean up, she was disgusted and then brought me back here..." Shimmering finished and looked over at Evening, he had purposely left out a large section at the end He rolled his hooves "Keep going, I know you are leaving stuff out. Its a skill of mine." he smiled again and patted his shoulder "Promise I won’t get mad." "Well, when we woke up on the cloud, your sister somehow tripped and landed her...uhm..marehood" he winced a bit, trying to see if Evening approved his talk "on my face..she apologized then flew off for some breakfast, I fell asleep again, she gets back and basically asks if I was masturbating... then I notice her hoof and the sun and tease her about masturbating, I licked her...juices" he winced again "of her hoof and then when she turned around to get the food out of a bag, she showed me her marehood, by mistake I think, I shot forward and uh...well...stuck my muzzle in it" he blushed. Evening just held the smile "Definitely a Midnight kind of thing. then what?" "She yelps, I fly off, she tackles me, then we go to the hotel after breakfast, then here, then she walks in front of me outside the door and stops, planting my muzzle in her pussy...I MEAN MAREHOOD, sorry....." "I’m good with pussy. I like that word way more than marehood. Keep going." "Well she then walked away, as soon as she was inside, she was all over me, kissing and had me on that couch" points to the one with a few wet patches. "and well, I licked her pussy, I was worried about getting her pregnant, she reassured me it was fine, then she....err. gave me a blowjob, then we rutted, we literally just came together as you walked in" Shimmerings face was bright red, his wings were stretched wide and his legs where having a hard time hiding his obvious discomfort downbelow. Evening looked over the nervous stallions body from his wings to his face to hooves and chuckled. "Recounting that was a total turn on for you and your probably on the verge of getting hard again but your forcing yourself calm because you’re sitting in front of me right?" “err...well....yes,” the nervous wreck of a pony said sadly, he raised a hoof to try and force his wings down. Evening looked at Honor. it was a look mixed with unease and hurt "I- is it because Im... gay." "WHAT, nonononono...I never knew you were gay, its, well... I am never very comfortable with talking about this stuff to other ponies, I... I am a pony who is very uneasy and doesn't like himself fully, Talking about sex and who I rut and how I rut them is.... just... difficult for me... I see sex as a bit of a weird subject to talk about and I get very apprehensive about the subject, it is even worse when I am talking with Stallions... sorry" Shimmering rushed as he spoke, then hung his head in shame. "I will show myself out..." He stood to get his bags "sit down" "Yes Sir..." Shimmering said sadly, he sat down, blushing as a tear fell down his cheek...lucky Evening didn't see it Evening saw the blush clearly on his sisters coltfriends face "Why are you blushing?" "Embarrassment, I have a very loose mouth, I talk a mile a minute and it takes two minutes for my mind to catch up, I always say something I regret and I always cock up... I mean, I had two or three breakdowns in front of Midnight and opened up too her and probably said something wrong, and now I have offended you because I am not comfortable talking about sex around stallions, I am sorry, truly truly sorry" Shimmering almost begged for forgiveness, another tear fell down his cheek, this time Evening did see it. Evening jerked forward and planted his lips on Honors for a moment. When he pulled back he said "Sorry. That was the only thing I could think of to get you to stop talking. Look. Its fine" Shimmering froze. "Please,....don't do that again, I am fine with ponies being gay and all. But I have a bad past, that sort of thing brings back really really bad memories" he said as he began to shake and cry "I get that but like I said. Only way I could think of" Evening hugged Honor tight "Its fine though." "okay....sorry..." Shimmering kept crying. Midnight walked back into the room, she looked at the stallions, her coltfriend was in tears while her brother was giving him a comforting hug. "What happened here?" "I bucked up again" Shimmering said as he smiled at his marefriend as tears still rolled down his cheek. "Oh I doubt that" She came over and took Honor from Evening and held him tight kissing him deeply. Shimmering wrapped his wings around her and nuzzled her neck. "I think I insulted him because I was uncomfortable talking about our rutting" Shimmering whispered into her ear. "You didn’t insult him. Its ok... I’ll make it up to you later" She nips Honors ear affectionately. Shimmering smiled and kissed her cheek then unwrapped his wings and looked at the other two pegasi... "So, now what? anypony else going to have an emotional breakdown?" he asked sarcastically, a smile on his face. he still had one or two tears rolling down his cheeks, but these were tears of joy. Midnight wiped the tears away and smiled along with Evening "No I think we are good. Dinners ready so we should go eat" "Sounds good, rations are never as good as your cooking Midnight" Evening smiled and got up. "Yeah, lead the way" Shimmering followed suit. The three ponies went to the dining room and sat at the table to eat. Midnight whispered to Honor "After dinner. You and me. my bed." She grazed her tail against Honors balls and giggled quietly. Shimmerings eyes shot wide at the contact and he felt his wings twitch... he brushed his tail over her flank "You two alright?" Evening asked. Midnight chuckled a bit "We are fine bro. I need a word with Shimmy. You go eat" Evening sat down to eat while the Shimmering and Midnight went somewhere else. "Whats the matter?" Shimmering asked Once alone Midnight presses against him kissing him deeply, after a few moments she broke off and turned around showing her sweet folds “go nuts Shimmy.”
