Author's Note

OK figured I'd give a forewarning, soon the chapters will have explicit content, (chapters will have a * by the name as well as a warning before and after the scene so you can still read the chapter without having to read the explicit content).

Chapter Five: Arguments Ahead; Lovestruck and Fearful

Chapter Five: Arguments Ahead; Love-struck and Fearful

“So you won't kill me?” asked Luna and I nodded and she turned to her sister a look of triumph on her face. “See dear sister? I am safe with Moonlit, I ordered him to do the same last night, in a fit of fear for the ponies of our lands, and he refused then too” said Luna tartly Celestia looked at her sister confused.

“What do you mean? You asked him to kill you last night!?” she exclaimed and Luna nodded, “Over what happened!?” Luna sighed

“Regardless over what it was about, he didn't do it, he also convinced me to stay, something I owe him my life for” she said firmly and Celestia nodded stiffly

“I suppose I do owe you my sister's life then” said Celestia turning to me, and I still glared at her, my anger not gone, but managed, “I suppose your anger is justified, but know this guardspony you step one toe out of line and I will end you, I will not have an upstart convince my sister that she needs to be the only princess in Equestria.” I snorted at the threat.

“I am the one that told her that it would be a bad decision, should she choose to follow that route however...” I said leaving the rest unsaid and Celestia glared at me and I glared back. Celestia didn't try anything since her sister was there, and she gave me one last glare before flying off to do Goddesses know what.

“You shouldn't test my sister's patience, nor mine, Moonlit” said Luna and I glanced at her my gaze soft as soon as my eyes touched her blue fur.

“I'm sorry, Luna, I should have tried harder to control myself, I am not worthy to be your guard, I couldn't even keep my cool as you ordered last night” I said and she laughed, surprising me

“I told you to keep your cool for when we talk to her at Dawn tomorrow, not sunset, I did not expect us to actually talk at this hour however” she said and I just gave a sad smile regardless of what she said, I still disobeyed her, and that was not something I was going to forgive myself for anytime soon. Noticing the look on my face Luna sighed and walked the few steps towards me and kissed my cheek, “Stop worrying about it, you stood up to my sister, not many ponies can say the same”

“I still-”

“Enough. Do I need to order you to forget it Moonlit?” Luna asked giving me a hard look and I stared at her a little surprised at her response, “Well, do I?” she asked again. Feeling a little cheeky I smirked

“No, but you could kiss me again” she gave me a look, you know the one I am talking about, the one between exasperation and something else, never-the-less she kissed me once more.

“Now, no more moping, or that is the last kiss you'll ever get from me,” she said and I went wide eyed at her comment but she wasn't done, “If you keep from moping however... Well we'll see” she added with a wink. I don't think she truthfully understood what it was like to be near a mare who was in heat, let alone a mare you have feelings for, and has feelings for you. Granted I did ask for it, by asking for that kiss, but still...

Things calmed down really quickly after the kiss, and she seemed content to torture-I mean snuggle with me even though she was in heat... Yeah... This was going to be a long few weeks...

“I haven't been watching the foals' dreams...” she said suddenly shaking me out of my thoughts.

“Excuse me?” I asked confused and Luna back at me, we were both sitting on the floor with me against the wall and her against me, my arms around her stomach as she sat there.

“I visit the dreams of foals while they sleep, to protect them from bad dreams, and to keep them safe from those that would harm them in the dream realm” I nodded, not really understanding but hopefully at least getting the gist of it.

“And why don't you?” I asked unsure of where this was going

“Can I trust you not to do anything with my sleeping body, Moonlit?” she asked a teasing light in her eyes and I blushed heavily at her comment.

“You need only command it, Luna, and I will obey” I said biting my lip in an attempt to clear my head of unwanted thoughts.

“Perhaps, or perhaps I want to test you, to see if maybe you can control yourself without me ordering you around” she said and I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, the pheromones drifting off of her started to cloud my mind once more, I cleared my mind. “Can I trust you with my body, Moonlit, can I trust you won't have your nasty way with me while I am drifting through the dream realm?” she asked

“Could you not take me with you?” I asked and she blushed heavily, and her breath hitched

“That would be far to intimate, Moonlit, it would be less intimate to just mate with you” she said and I looked at her blushing, and confused.

“Our minds would be touching, not unlike when our telekinetic magic touches one another, but still far more inclusive” she said and I blushed just as heavily and stuttered.

“I-I-I-I'm sor-” I started and she silenced me with a gentle kiss

“Don't be sorry, you didn't know and you were grasping at straws” she said before placing another kiss on my lips this one a little more needy before she forcefully turned herself away, “Sorry, Moonlit, my heat cycle is affecting me worse than usual, now that I have a male with me that I have some romantic feelings for” she said looking away from me, not that it mattered, I was surprised as hell by her comment, and my grip on her tightened, not painfully so, but enough to know she was still there.

“I will do my utmost best to not do anything with your body” I said swallowing as I cleared my mind of any dirty thoughts.

“See that you don't, and maybe you'll get something good” she said and I gave her a flat look, one that said, 'Seriously? You are trying to bribe me?' she just giggled though and stood up to fully turn around and kiss my cheek. “Be good, my dear Moonlit” she said before she laid herself against the wall beside me and drifted off. I didn't know what she was so worried about, I mean it wasn't as if she looked... So... Beautiful... Tha-NO! I was not going to fail her. Her eyes moved constantly under her eyelids as she slept, while I was still planning on respecting her wishes, I did want to touch her, to hold her... Why was this so hard!? Soon however she stirred slightly and I stepped away from her, something about her stirring reinforcing my will and I stood on guard, though it truly wouldn't matter as I am a unicorn, not a pegasus, if we were to be attacked it would be by pegasus and I would out maneuvered regardless of how prepared I was...

Again she stirred hours later this time though her eyes fluttered beautifully as they opened a small smile on her face as she looked at me, an unreadable expression on her face.

“You look like you have been through the ringer a few time Moonlit” she said in a happy voice and I all but glared at her.

“Goddess or not, you have no right being so damned beautiful” I responded and she giggled before standing up, walking over and pressing her lips to mine, not even caring about the fact of her pheromone spewing body was causing me to slowly lose my mind, add that to the fact she was already beautiful, and I was lucky I could keep a reign over my own raging hormones.

“I believe I owe you something... Now what should I give you?” she said as she now teased her hands across my armored breastplate, stopping only to loosen the straps and start to remove it before I grabbed her hands and kissed her, hard, I was desperate to taste her on my lips right now, the needs of mating be damned, I wanted to taste her kiss more than I wanted anything else right now pulling back only long enough to say;

“I want your lips, Luna, I want your lips on mine, consequences be damned” she outright laughed at the last part of my sentence since she obviously was going to ignore the consequences herself, but for something far more serious, not that either of us cared right now, well I did in the fact I wanted to taste her lips far more than I wanted a taste of her.

“Well then my unicorn stallion, come then, come and get your reward” she whispered wrapping her arms around my neck and I pulled her into another kiss, this one a desperate kiss, from me to her, but a desperate need she was all too willing to fulfill. Soon though my armor was on the floor as I remained in only my under armor clothing, she however was only in a bra and corset combo, as well as her panties, pink, something I was surprised to see but at the time I was more focused on holding her close. After a while we settled down in to just holding one another. Soon however as if she knew the time of day at a drop of a hat she shoved me away enough to grab her clothing and dress quickly, and she tossed my armor at me, with me only just catching it. Looking at her confused she stopped and looked at me before, “What are you waiting for? Get dressed! It is almost morning! And my sister will be here soon, I do not think after last night's argument, she needs to catch us in that position” she said urgently and I started to slip my armor on, barely managing to get the last wrist guard into place before Celestia alighted on the balcony outside the tower.

“Sister? Did the night go well? Are you well and decent?” the last part was said in a teasing manner, but never-the-less both me and Luna began to sweat for a second before Luna spoke up in a level voice

“Very funny sister, after your reaction last night, if there was any planned coitus, it would have been canceled” she said in a flat voice and I nearly fell onto my face, Celestia on the other hand did, and entered the tower looking scandalized.

“SISTER!” said Celestia and Luna tried to keep a straight face, me on the other hand had a shocked look on my face, but soon Luna started to laugh, first it was a stifled giggle, but it quickly grew into a full body laugh as she actually fell against the wall holding her stomach, neither Celestia, nor myself were amused, but for two very different reasons. “Sister! Cease this at once! Even if you love him, you can't live your life with him, oh he can life his with you, but we are immortal dear sister! Please remember that!” that killed Luna's laughter as if someone has just killed either of us in front of her, yes at this point I was sure she loved me.

“So, I am to live my life as you have? Only making friends and out living them and making more, to outlive them? Am I not allowed to find my own love? Am I not allowed to find my own happiness dear sister?” I started to open my mouth, “Moonlit, you keep your mouth closed, that is an order!” my mouth snapped closed so fast my teeth hurt, but I ignored the pain and nodded to her. “Sister I wanted to talk to you about several things later, but I see that it would be a waste of yours and my time, now let us do our job so that I can be away from you, and calm down” she said as she went right into the movements and the moon lowered Celestia moving quickly to replace it with the Sun before rounding on me.

“This is your fault isn't it!? You're poisoning her against me!?” she said frantically, oh how I wanted to say that it was in no way my fault that it was all her own doing. Her sister was no foal anymore, nor was I just some Stallion looking for a quick lay, for if I was, I have a feeling I could have asked her of that last night and it would have happened, but I'm not so I didn't. Never-the-less, I could not as Luna had ordered me to keep my mouth shut, and I would do exactly that. “What? Am I right? Is that why you don't defend yourself?” I kept I straight face, I was not going to let her get to me this time. However soon Celestia had a blue sheen around her and she was flung away from me, she didn't hit anything, as the magic put her down safely, but it was obvious to anyone watching that Luna would not have me attacked like that.

“SISTER!” said Luna angrily her wings fanned out aggressively but not wanting to see this escalate any farther I walked up to Luna and put my hand on her shoulder catching her attention and when she looked at my worried face I shook my head hoping to tell her to stop. It worked as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, “Sister, do not accost my Lunar Guard ever again, or the Nightmare incident will look like child's play in comparison, and if you ever threaten Moonlit like you were again, there will only be one princess in Equestria” she said it in such a cold voice even I had shivers running down my back, she just threatened her sister! This was not good, I was coming between the two Celestial sisters and it could very well end with my death and the return of Nightmare Moon. “Come on Moonlit we are going” Luna said as she headed for the balcony and the blue sheen covered me and I flew after her, propelled by her magic...

Landing safely at the door to her room, as she had just flew through the entire castle, she grabbed me by the breastplate and dragged me in to the room before shutting the door. This was not a sultry dragging, or any other form of happy dragging, this was she was still pissed, and I most likely was her next target. However as soon as we were safe in her room her lips crashed onto mine, hard, actually harder than my first desperate kiss I gave her, and I was sure my lips were now going to be bruised. She was aggressive, hands searching for the straps to my armor as she kissed me, but this right now wasn't love, and I was going to have no part in it, pushing her away, only for her to latch herself onto me once more. I pushed her away this time using my magic to hold her, bad choice, because the next moment I felt her magic shine across her body and our minds rubbed against one another. OK maybe good choice, because now I could tell it was heat, and stress, induced so I reacted the best way I knew how, I forced my magic to start massaging her, focusing on areas of high stress. Damn I wanted to just give in, so badly, but I knew if I did, neither herself, nor myself, would be able to forgive me. The magic that she was using soon sputtered out as I hit an area of high stress tension in her muscles.

“Oh! Right there” she managed to moan out as the stress was eased out of her, I soon had her laying in her bed as I continued to use my magic to massage her, and was very careful around her wings as they were, at least for pegasus, erogenous zones, and around her horn as for us unicorn it could result in a very embarrassing arousal and magic orgasm, something, while VERY pleasurable, was actually frowned upon when not with your mate. I also stayed away from her breasts, as for Earth ponies... Well that was the erogenous zone for them. Soon though I had to stop, or risk all that work I put into calming her failing because I got too worked up, though from the look she was giving me, it would not be unwelcome. Though I knew it was probably a bad idea, I walked over and pressed my lips to hers gently and she sighed into the kiss, licking my lips begging entrance, which I denied, all I wanted was a small kiss, not another make-out session. “You are torturing me, Moonlit, and I bet you are torturing yourself” she whispered with a small smile on her lips as she punctuated each word with a kiss. Increasing any torture I may have felt by two fold, perhaps more. “Stay, you can sleep here if you want, but stay with me” she suddenly said the sudden change in demeanor confusing, as well as the change of mood, no longer was it a sensuous one, but one you would cuddle with a loved one in.

“I would love to Luna, very much so” I whispered and I kissed her gently on the lips once more before she got off of her bed and pulled back the covers and started to climb in before snapping her fingers and suddenly the room had a temporary blue sheen about it as she focused some magic about the room before it disappeared.

“That should keep out any unwanted guests while we are trying to sleep” she said and I nodded as she scooted back into her bed before beckoning me over, “Well get in, Moonlit, we don't have all day” she said and I chuckled at that. Never-the-less I did exactly as she asked, and removed my armor and climbed in the bed with her. As soon as I was in with her, she wrapped me in a hug and pressed her lips against mine once more before closing her eyes as we both slipped gently off to sleep...

Hours later I woke up feeling cold, and noticed that Luna wasn't in bed, however I did hear her shuffling around in some drawers of her dresser, feeling as if looking would violate her privacy I simply rolled over and started to fall asleep again before I felt clothes being thrown in my face.

“Get up, Moonlit, we are both needed the throne room, apparently there is something that requires both my sister's and my attention” said Luna and I groaned as I sat up and stretched, “You really are not a morning person” she joked and I laughed lightly.

“No, Luna, I told you, I prefer the night” that brought a small smile to her face.

“I suppose you do” she said with a wink before sighing, “Now you need to get dressed, as do I” at that I frowned, didn't I just have to slip on my armor. “And don't think about slipping on your armor, you are wearing the formal wear of the Lunar Guard, not the armor” I rolled my eyes, seriously it was like she could read my mind.

Slipping on the formal wear she had tossed in my face—it was sort of like the formal wear of the Solar Guard except it favored darker colors over that of the bright red and white coloring of their formal attire—and I sighed, this was not an outfit I liked, I preferred my armor due to the fact I felt exposed without it, however, she did request it, hm... She requested it, she didn't order it... I guess I was a lot more lenient about that than I thought.

“You look very handsome, Moonlit” said Luna and I blushed and gave her a bow.

“Shall I escort you to the throne room, your highness” I said with a regal voice and she chuckled before shaking her head.

“No, I do believe that would be a bad idea, as it would give the aristocracy too much to think about, I certainly do not want them to hurt their heads trying to understand why I was being escorted by a member of my guard, regardless of his stature” I chuckled at that, knowing that I did have a chance with her, if I was to acknowledge myself as my father's heir... A Knight's son courting a princess while not all that common was definitely less frowned upon than some common guard courting her. “What is so funny?” I smiled but shook my head.

“I'll tell you later” I said and she nodded slowly before she reached for the door before turning to me.

“Can you hid your armor somewhere, whilst I don't believe there is any issue with you changing in here, as far as I am concerned, I do not believe the rest of the castle will share that sentiment” I nodded at her comment and banished my armor after strapping my sword to my belt, formal attire or not, I was not going anywhere unarmed. Come then, Novel, we best be off, it would not do to keep my sister waiting.” she said with a secretive smile, one that I only just caught before it left her face.

“As you command, your highness” I said as I stepped out into the hall, noting that there was no one about as the halls were clear of any indication of people being around for the past several hours, “How do you know that your sister, Princess Celestia, needs you in the throne room?” I asked and Luna glanced at me before giggling

“Because she mentioned it a while ago before her and I got into that argument with you in the middle...” Luna said, before drifting off mid-sentence.

“I am sorry that I am causing a rift between you and your sister, Luna” I said honestly, I may not exactly like Princess Celestia, but I did not wish ill on her, still...

“No, I am sorry you are stuck in the middle, my sister needs to learn that I can think for myself, and I have the right to choose whom I am with, regardless of what she says” I shook my head at her words, such were the words I would have expected from a child, but still they did boost me with confidence. A confidence I shouldn't have held quite so tightly...
