Out of place; inspired by the colab ponyfall

We lied there atop the hill, staring at the endless blue of the sky. I started really thinking about things. Things like what I should say or do for Twilight, she said she's fine. She's a terrible liar. Thoughts started to ramble on in my head. "Can we really make things work out? I'm gonna damn sure try, that's certain." I sighed and closed my eyes. "I'm fucked, aren't I?"

Twilight broke our silence. "Can I ask something weird?"

"Sure, why not." I said softly. I gave a small laugh. "Us and questions, eh?"

"The day I met you, a few days ago. When we were drinking, whatever that was, you said something I've been wondering about. Why don't you like your eyes?" She asked looking to me.

I thought about it and exhaled a deep breath. "Years and years ago, when I was a boy, my eyes were blue. Blue as, well, that." I said pointing at the sky. "When all the shit went down I felt empty and alone. Like I was broken, like somehow it was my fault. I grew up knowing only things like hate and anger for myself. I didn't care about myself. I didn't care if I got hurt or anything like that. Up until now, I still felt that way. Every year I grew older, I kept track as how many years I staved off letting go and just dying." I turned to my side and looked at her. "What color are my eyes?"

She looked at me with a softening expression. "Gray."

"Right, and now you know." I said looking back up to the sky.

"You said up until now. So you've changed your mind about yourself?" She asked.

"I guess so." I said as the corners of my mouth began to rise.

She smiled and held onto me.

I thought about this. Moments like this, me and Twilight, just talking and sharing things. This is what I enjoy the most. She's the only person I've really talked about things with. She listens and understands me. If I ever told anyone about things like this they'd probably just stop talking to me. Her, she actually tries to help me and make me feel better.

I decided something then and there. I decided that I would stop worrying about things, about the ifs. "Things will work out just fine and that's that." I held back and looked quietly down at her, her face buried into my shoulder. I leaned my face close to hers and whispered into her ear. "I don't care if this was just some screw up. I'm still happy you're hear."

She lifted her face up, looking at me with a soft smile. She was barely an inch away. "I am too."

We leaned in and kissed for split second. I looked into her eyes and could see the love she had. I felt happy for once. I knew things would be perfect, nothing would change that. We lied there together quietly, practically asleep. Hours passed by and still we comfortably lied next to each other. Once in a while making some small sounds or speaking a few words.

Noon shifted to evening and the sun moved quite a bit west. I sat up and looked around the still empty park trying to regain a grasp of reality. It was cool and breezy. Twi sat up beside me taking in the cooler night. I rubbed my eyes feeling ready to actually sleep and stumbled to my feet. I reached out and helped up Twilight, also sharing a need of sleep. My arm supporting her, we walked down the small. It took a little longer this time, taking more than a few missteps and barely correcting myself to keep from falling.

I finally led her out the park and back onto the sidewalk, going in what I was fairly certain was the right way back. We walked at slow pace laughing at how ridiculous this seemed. To anyone, this would seem like a drunken pairing stumbling to one house for an intoxicated mistake. To us, it seemed like a goofy moment for both parties. I laughed thinking about what people probably thought was happening and Twilight laughed because this was so random. Stumbling back to the house of a member of the opposite sex sounded bad, but when you throw in that both are perfectly fine and not in some different state of mind, then it just seemed silly.

Lucky for me it was the right way and I escorted her up the path to the front door and opened it. Closing the door behind me, I kicked off my shoes. Twilight on the other hand was just a bit out of it and nodded off standing next to me. I caught her at the first idea of her falling, and shook my head smiling lightheartedly. I slipped off her shoes and lifted her up, arm over shoulder, carrying her back to the room.

I carefully walked through the doorway, trying not to bump into a wall or slip and set her down on the bed. I moved around and slipped in from the other side. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled up the covers, nodding off myself.
