"Spike and Babs share their first kiss with one another, any length, go!" - RainbowBob

Babs Seed x Spike (Bad_Seed_72)

Spike nervously dug his feet into the floor as he paced back and forth. Babs Seed would be arriving any moment.

While the two had spent some quality time together during Twilight's trip to Manehatten, they had only been communicating via letters since then. Now that Babs was back in Ponyville visiting the Apples for a week, he finally had his chance—his chance to finally admit the most embarrassing truth, short of when he had confessed his feelings to Rarity.

Spike had a crush on Babs Seed.

Spike looked up to see Owlowliscious perched on a shelf of Twilight’s bedroom, peering down at him. “Who, who.”

“Babs, that’s who,” Spike muttered nervously, nibbling on one of his claws. “She’s gonna be here soon, and… No, maybe it’s too soon! Maybe I shouldn’t tell her quite yet…”

“Who, who,” the owl replied, twisting his head around fully.

Spike stopped biting his nails to roll his eyes at him. “Dude, that’s still creepy.”

The owl titled his head. “Who?”

Spike sighed. “Yeah, you’re right. I’ve been feeling this way for almost a month… It’s not gonna go away on its own. I just need to dragon up and—”

Somepony knocked on the front door of the library.

Swallowing hard, Spike turned around, then called out, “Coming!”

After taking one more deep breath, Spike made his way over to the front door. Though the journey was over in seconds, it was the greatest distance he had ever crossed.

He opened the door to reveal a smiling, freckled filly standing in the threshold. “‘Ey, Spike! Ya wanted ta see me?”

“Oh, hey, Babs! Uh, come on in, heh, heh,” Spike mumbled, fidgeting his claws. He stepped aside as she entered, then closed the door.

“Got the whole place ta yaself, huh? Where’s Twilight?”

“Doing something with Rarity,” Spike said quickly, turning to face her. “Um, listen, Babs, there’s uh, something I need to tell you…” Despite his best efforts, Spike felt himself blushing scarlet. Mentally kicking himself, he cleared his throat, then tried to speak more boldy. “I’ve… I’ve been wanting to tell you this for a while… Um…”

Babs sat down on her haunches in front of him, tilting her head. “Ya alright? You look real sweaty…”

Blushing furiously now, Spike dug his foot into the floorboards again, his eyes darting around everywhere but directly in front of him. “Ye-yeah, I’m fine. Um… L-look, just… What I’m about to say, just… D-don’t laugh at me, okay?”

She slowly nodded. “Um… Alright…”

“Yeah… Well, Babs… Thing is… I… I like you. A lot,” Spike added, blurting the last two words before he could stop himself.

Her eyes widened, unblinking. Spike started to panic. Oh geez, what did I do?! Now she won’t even be my friend after this! She’s gonna tell all the Crusaders, and then Twi will hear, and then— “Mmmmf!”

Incredibly, Babs Seed’s lips were on his, kissing him softly. As she pulled away, Spike felt his tongue flap out of his mouth and his limbs fall slack. “Buh… Wha… You… You…”

“I’m… I’m glad ya feel the same,” Babs said quietly, her short tail flicking shyly behind her, her cheeks redder than her mane. “So… um… Does dis mean ya wanna be ma coltfriend? Errr… drakefriend?”

“Yeah, sure,” Spike muttered before he fainted.
