High Voltage in Her Lips, They Catch me When I Slip

Don’t get me wrong I love Twilight. She’s everything I want in a mare and more. She’s kind, caring, smart, the list goes on. The fact she’s easy on the eyes doesn’t hurt either. She’s the full package. I just can’t get her out of my head.

But thats the problem. I can’t seem to stop thinking about her. We’ve been dating for a month! I shouldn’t be feeling this head over hooves anymore. I just can’t stop myself from thinking about her though.

My mornings have been full of these thoughts. Should I just accept this feeling or should I try to distance myself a bit? I just don’t know how much to invest.

These thoughts follow me as I head off to work. I’ve been through this enough times to know that nothing would get her off my mind. As I buck clouds I can swear I see a dark purple mane with pink streaks on the ground below me.

The day goes by uneventfully. Every now and then I glance down to see if the purple dot is still there. Sure enough it is every time. My eyes must be playing tricks on me.

As I’m about to buck the last cloud for the day, I try to get a better look at the purple speck beneath me. I swing my back hooves out, but I feel no contact. The world and sky spin around me as I lose altitude. My mane whips in my face and I flare out my wings in an attempt to level myself out. They snap up and I shout in pain. Its no use. My eyes clench shut and I brace for impact. It never comes.

I open one eye than the other. I find I’m hovering about five feet off the ground with a magenta aura around me.

“Oh!” Cries a voice that melts my heart. I look to my right and see the object of my (most likely over) affection. “Thank Celestia I caught you!”

“Well Celestia isn’t here,” I smile at her. “So I’ll thank you instead.”

“Oh come here, you!” She levitates me over to her and clasps my cheeks in her hooves. Soon my vision was occupied by lavender and I felt her lips pressing on mine.

Jolts of electricity shoot down my spine. My eyes shoot closed. For a moment Twilight and I are the only things that matter or even exist. As our slow and sloppy dance of lips, continued, I felt something slowly make its way into my mouth. I gladly accept it and our tongues start a playful war. They tumble and try to wrap around each other, more sparks rocketing down my spine with every passing second.

We separate for breath with no clear winner being decided, not that we care. There’s a thin line of saliva connecting our lips. Twi sets me down. Suddenly, I’m painfully aware of my wing. I wince.

“What's wrong, Dashie?” Twilight’s face is swimming in concern. I can’t admit it to my self but she looks adorable.

“I think I sprained my wings.” No sooner did I say that than did I see a bright flash. When my vision returned I found myself in a bed. I sit up. Around me are crystal walls, sunlight bleeding through slightly. A lavender alicorn teleports into the room with a glass of water.

“I’ll contact your boss, you just rest for today.” She says as she contently scribbles down a letter.

“I’ll be fine Twi.” I roll my eyes. “Besides, couldn’t you just heal me with your magic?”

“No, I’m afraid I can’t.” She frowns as the letter disappears in a flash of magic. “The only medical spell I really know is a pain killing one, I can’t heal a sprained wing.”

I huff and lean into my pillow. “I guess I won’t be flying for a day or two than.”

“At least I managed to catch you.” Twilight perked ever so slightly.

‘Yeah.” I agree. “Thanks again for that. But if you don’t mind me asking, why were you outside?”

“I may have made a small habit of watching you work.” Twilight blushed and grinned sheepishly.

I can only stare at her. That should be creepy. Than why am I so… flattered? I can only sigh.

“I’m sorry Rainbow.” Twilight looks down. “I just wanted to spend some time with you, but I didn’t want to keep you from your job.”

“I understand, Twilight.” I put on a fake smile. “Now how about that pain killing spell.”

“Sure…” Twilight’s still frowning.

I put my hoof on her shoulder. “Don’t sweat it, Twi.” She smiles at me. “I can’t blame you for wanting to be close to somepony as awesome as me.”

Her horn lights up and suddenly I can’t feel the pain in my wings anymore. As I look at my wings something rubs up against my neck. I look over and see Twilight, humming happily as she nuzzles me. My heart feels like its about to give out.

I accidently let out a pensive sigh. Twilight gets up. “What’s wrong Rainbow?”

“Its nothing Twi.” I try to brush off my faux pas.

“You sure? You don’t seem quite like yourself lately.”

Horse-apples! She would notice. “Its nothing.”

“Rainbow, please.”

I sigh. She deserves to know, and its not like I can bare seeing her worried. “I guess I’m just conflicted.”

“What do you mean.”

I close my eyes. “I don’t know. Sometimes I feel like we’re getting to close. Like maybe we should distance ourselves a little.”

Suddenly, I feel a warm embrace. “Please don’t leave me Rainbow!”

“Twilight…” I feel a warm moisture on my coat where her face was buried into my chest.

“Tell me what you want me to change and I’ll change it.” She lifts up and I can see the tears streaming down her eyes.

“Twilight I…”

“If you want me to be less clingy, I will. You want me to drop my studies and pick up competitive flying, I will. I’ll even find a way to step down as a princess and become an ordinary unicorn, or pegasus if you want. Just please, please, please don’t leave me. I can’t live without you anymore.” She sobs uncontrollably.

I can only embrace her. What is wrong with me? I made the most amazing, beautiful and caring mare in Equestria cry. Why can’t I just appreciate what I have?! I am so stupid?! I’m in love, there’s nothing wrong with that. I need to be better, for Twilights sake.

“Twilight...” I hold her close. “I’m sorry.”

She closes her eyes and continues to sob. “Please, just don’t lea-” I can’t take it anymore. I sit up and quickly press my lips to hers. Her eyes shoot open but they soon close again and she leans into the kiss. I feel electricity shoot through me. I accept it openly. No more doubts, no more hesitation; I’m all in with this.

“I’m not going anywhere.” I hug my marefriend tight. “Please forgive me. I was scared to get attached. I just couldn’t get you out of my head. Everything always goes back to you for me now. I was just scared because this has never happened to me before.”

Twilight tackles me so I’m not sitting up anymore. “You're my world, Rainbow! I need you! I think about you all the time! I just want to be by your side! I want to be all yours! I love you!”

“You mean the world to me too Twi!” I hug her tighter, our chests pressing together. “I love you! I’m just sorry it took so long for me to accept it.” I roll her over on to her back so I’m standing on top of her. “Let me show you how much you mean to me.” I say seductively.

That was the first of many passionate nights we spent together. I know how I feel now and I wouldn’t change it for anything. All that matters is that I have Twilight and that she has me.

Cardiac Arrest by bad suns was the prompt for this week. The theme of being head over heels is a common one but not knowing how to deal with it isn't that common. Next chapter will be a prompt submitted by a reader, as will be the next few.
