Insecurities
Chapter One: Being Together
Load Full StoryNext ChapterTwilight Sparkle hummed as she ran the paintbrush up her big toe. She had picked a pink polish. Not her usual color, but it had been a whole week since she had seen her girlfriend Rainbow Dash and she was feeling a bit sentimental. After Twilight's run in with Sunset Shimmer, the front part of the school had been completely destroyed, leaving Sunset, Rainbow, and the rest of the school to build the whole thing again from scratch as soon as she could so Rainbow could stay on top of getting revenge on Sunset (who Dash had been particularly determined to thwart ever since her Twilight Sparkle was nearly killed).
Girlishly, a giggle bubbled up from Twilight's throat. She was her Twilight now. Ever since that week-ago awkward confession and first kiss, she was hers. And she was hers.
Which brought her right back to being frustrated that she hadn't seen her in so long. She did have a big school project to work on, so she supposed it was for the best that she hadn't been distracted- but just texts from the caption of every sports team hadn't been quite enough for her. She was ready to have Rainbow back in her arms.
Speak of the devil, a tiny knock came from her window at just that moment. How ecstatic she was to see that cocky grin! She waved and gestured to indicate the window was unlocked and she could enter because she didn't want to ruin her toes, but as soon as Rainbow had crossed the room she went to her bed, her arms around her waist tightly.
"I missed you!" She announced, looking up at her with an expression of joy on her face. Rainbow broke the embrace to sit on the bed and press a lingering kiss to Twilight's lips.
"I noticed, the pink on your toes looks good," She chuckled and kissed her again, sighing and touching her forehead to hers when she broke the kiss. "Heck, Twilight, I've missed you so much."
"I'm guessing the school is done?" Twilight threw her arms around her neck again, not willing to let her go just yet. Rainbow nodded, winding her arms against her waist.
"Yeah, just put the finishing touches on an hour ago. Sorry it took me a while to get here; I took a shower to get rid of all that cement." Twilight shook her head.
"You don't have to apologize, Dashie. You've been keeping in touch with me all week, I have no reason to complain. Besides, I know it's important to you that we all get back to having a talk with Sunset." Rainbow nodded.
"Absolutely, I just wish...I wish a few things were different." She said quietly. Twilight pushed away from her gently, raising an eyebrow.
"What do you mean?"
"I just...." Dashie rubbed the back of her head. "You know, I wish you had your friends here with you. I wish that Sunset Shimmer never ruined the school and....you know, I wish you came here sooner."
"And you need to stop talking now, because you're speaking complete nonsense!" Twilight smirked. "Dashie, if my friends had come here, chaos would have occurred, I would've never met you in the first place. You wouldn't even be you, you'd be a regular human. And..." Twilight broke eye contact with her. "Of course I want to be back in my world. I want to know that my friends are okay....and I miss them. I'd also love to introduce them to you." When she smiled at Rainbow again, she notice her eyes were misty. Rainbow wanted to comfort her, but still felt like she hadn't made her point.
"I know, I just...thanks for, you know...." She groaned. Why couldn't she sound cocky when it mattered? She could spout out theories into the deaf ears of her friends all the time but when in came to talking to Twilight, who would actually listen, she was too tongue tied to say a thing. "I know this relationship can't be easy for you, especially with everything else that's going on right now. But thank you for...for giving me a chance," Twilight's brows furrowed in frustration; Rainbow was supposed to be smart, here!
"Dashie, I'm not doing this to give you a chance. I'm doing this because I want to be with you," April took hold of one of her cyan hands. "I don't want a normal girl. I want Rainbow Dash." The aforementioned girl's face lit up like a beacon.
"Twilight," Rainbow squeezed her hands. "You..you really mean that." It wasn't a question, Rainbow was sure of her confession and rejoicing over it. "I...you're the most wonderful girl I've ever know, Twilight Sparkle. You really are." She hugged her and pressed a kiss to her forehead as Twilight giggled.
"Dashie, I'm the only girl you actually like. Aside from our friends..." Rainbow shrugged as she cradled her lover closer, propping her chin on top of her head as she snuggled into her chest.
"My point still stands."
