• Chapter 7 -

Spike paused. He widened his eyes, surprised by the white dragon's answer.

"Really?" Spike asked for conformation, still having doubts.

"Yes, really. What, you've never been asked out before or something?" Fizzle joked, not knowing that it was actually true. Spike had never been asked out before.

"Well.. Actually, no, I haven't.." Spike said quietly, as he looked down into the bright pool of lava.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean-"

"It's okay." Spike interrupted Fizzle.

"You sure?" Fizzle asked, as he scooted himself closer to Spike.

"Yeah." Spike said, his voice breaking. Fizzle smiled warmly to Spike, and wrapped his arm around Spike's back.

"I'm now only really thinking about it.. All of these years I've been capable, but I always chased after one pony.." Spike said, gently kicking his feet in the warm lava.

"A pony? Oh wait, that's right, you live in Ponyville. I'd ask ya how that works out, but I can already see it hurts a little." Fizzle said, softly scratching the purple dragon's back.

"Yeah.. But I'll be okay." Spike mumbled quietly, and leaned his whole body against the white dragon's body, in response of Fizzle's affection. At first, Fizzle was surprised, then he just made a smile on his face.

"Well, that's good." Fizzle said, with a short giggle.

A few moments of silence passed, was just two warm bodies of dragons pressed against each other, peacefully. At least it was, until Twilight Sparkle barged into the scene.

"Hey," The Alicorn began to speak. This surprised Fizzle, he had no idea that somepony was watching them this whole time.

"Oh, hello there..?" Fizzle said awkwardly, as he freed his arms from Spike's body.

"Oh, uh, this is my friend Twilight Sparkle, she's the one who found me when I was an egg, and took care of me." Spike explained.

"So she's like your mom then? Interesting, a pony raising a dragon." Fizzle replied.

"Yeah, I suppose." Spike said.

"Well, I hate to interrupt your little love fest, but I'm getting hungry again, and I thought you two wouldn't mind continuing this down at home?" Twilight pleaded.

"In Ponyville, down at my place." Twilight said specifically to Fizzle.

"Well uh.. I guess, but, the ponies down in Ponyville are just going to let some big dragon roam their streets? Last I heard, they were terrified of us dragons up here." Fizzle explained.

"You'll be fine, they may seem a bit uneasy around you, but they won't kick you out or anything silly like that." Twilight responded.

"Well, all right then. I suppose you got here pretty quick, huh? Seeing that the both of you have wings. Going back down shouldn't be any trouble." Fizzle said, as he pointed at the Alicorn, then at Spike.

"Actually.. Mine don't work, yet." Spike said, shamefully.

"Oh.. We can walk, then. That's okay." Fizzle insisted.

"Crap! It's going to take forever, because of me!" Spike groaned, a bit frustrated with himself.

"Spike, seriously, it's fine." Fizzle said, with his hand on Spike's shoulder.

"Yeah, Spike, don't worry yourself about it." Twilight said, also trying to cheer up Spike.

"Ugh..." Spike sighed.

"Man, will I be glad when I can actually fly." Spike said. And, with that, the three of them were on their way to the Golden Oak Library. They talked and walked, making time go by much faster. And before they knew it, they had finally reached Twilight's library in Ponyville.

"Wow! This is a very neat looking place!" Fizzle said, admiring the view on the first floor of the massive amount of books in every direction.

"Thank you!" The Alicorn responded, with a smile.

"Yeah, this is where I've been the majority of my life. " Spike said, looking at Fizzle.

"Spike, I figured you'd want some privacy, so I'm gonna go out to eat with the others. So I'll see you in a bit, okay? Just don't do anything.. Crazy." Twilight whispered to Spike.

"I won't!" Spike said.

"Okay, okay. See you in a bit!" Twilight said, as she trotted out the door, and closed it behind her, leaving Fizzle and Spike alone, together.

"So.. Is there any place we can sit, and relax?" Fizzle asked, and waited for an answer.

"Yeah, follow me up these stairs." Spike said, as he pointed to the staircase he was heading for. Fizzle followed behind, and they both made it up the stairs, and made their way to a couch, and sat together.

"It's a lovely home," Fizzle remarked, still admiring the unique interior structure.

"Mmhmm, I've always felt comfortable here." Spike said, twiddling his thumbs.

"Oh? Even for this?" Fizzle asked, and gave Spike a really quick kiss on the cheek. Spike widened his eyes, surprised, and a blush appeared on his pudgy cheeks.

"Uh.." Spike mumbled.

"Hmm?" Fizzle responded.

"Y-You kissed me." Spike said, looking at Fizzle.

"Oh, you mean like this?" Fizzle asked, then quickly kissed Spike on his lips.

Spike's reaction was silence.

"Or, do you mean.. Like this?" Fizzle said, as he gently grabbed Spike's head by his cheeks, and gave him a long, sensual kiss directly on his lips. It lasted for about five seconds. Fizzle pulled back, his hands still on his boyfriends cheeks. Spike began feeling a bit warm, and began feeling the desire to go in for more.
