Autumn's Embrace

I woke up the next morning just as the first rays of sunlight were streaming through my window. I sat up and stretched my hooves. I looked around my room, well, disaster zone to put it lightly. I sighed to myself, still annoyed that I forgot to clean up last night. I flipped the covers off and got out of bed, my hooves crunching a small bag of chips next to me. My horn lit up and a small tornado formed in my room, sucking up all of the energy drink cans and chip bags and spitting them back into the trash can. Sometimes I wonder if earth ponies and pegasus ponies wish they had magic to make things easier.

My random morning thoughts were interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. I rushed out of my room and almost tripped on the table in the living toom before answering the door. My eyes widened when I saw Octy standing on the other side.

She smiled and let out a sigh of relief, "I thought I had the wrong address. Morning, Vinyl. Surprised to see me?"

"Wait...How did you...When did you...HUH?!"

"I went to the library after lunch and asked Twilight if she knew where you lived at. She wasn't really too sure if she remembered your address correctly, but I guess I got lucky with what she gave me. I know it seems kinda like stalking, but I thought I'd surprise you and come over here for breakfast instead of going where we went yesterday."

"It's too early for confusing stories, let me at least have a cup of coffee first."

I stepped back inside and went into the kitchen, Octy following close behind. I closed the door with my magic as I finally made it to the coffee pot. I'm not really used to waking up this early really. I used to sleep almost all day and stay up all night. Then again, my job kinda requires me to be nocturnal. I sat down at the kitchen table across from Octy. She cleared her throat and kinda pointed to my mane, "I take it you just got up."

I looked up to find my mane a tangled mess, "Yeah. I really didn't have time to fix it before you got here." I quickly took care of that though as I brought my hair brush into the kitchen and started brushing my hair.

"It must be nice being a unicorn."

"What do you mean?"

"You can use magic to make almost everything easier."

"To tell you the truth, magic kinda takes a toll on the brain."

"How so?"

"Using too much at one time can give you a major migraine, and it can really wear out your stamina."

"Oh, I didn't know that."

"Alicorns have it easier than unicorns. Their magic can do damn near everything, and it never effects them."

"Anyway, putting the random topic aside. There was also another reason why I came over here this morning," She looked down at the ground, her face turning a deep red.

"What's that?"

She didn't say anything, but her face more than told the story. I guess it was that time for her. She looked back at me, her voice trembling, "I-It's more of a...personal...problem. I-If you know what I mean."

"I don't really see how that involves me. Not to sound mean or anything. But, why can't you just take care of it by yourself?"

"I-I already tried that. It...wasn't...you know...enough."

I began to feel a small heat flowing through my body, focusing particularly in one area. And a heat doesn't go away unless you have a way to cool things down, "S-So you're saying...you came over to give me something to eat. If I'm following you correctly."

Her blush deepened even more as she gave me a slight nod, "I...I just didn't really know who else to turn to. I hardly know anypony here, and you're the closet pony I know here right now."

I smiled and walked over to her. I wrapped my hoof around her shoulders and held her close to me, "How about we have our breakfast before we have our desert, okay?"

She looked up at me, a deep sense of need growing in her eyes, "I don't know if I can wait that long."

And with that, she wrap her hoof around my head and pulled my lips into hers.
