Roommates [Old Version]

I stared blankly at one of the changeling drones that stood guarding the door to the bedroom I was being held in. He stared back with a narrowed gaze, his blue eyes peering into my soul. After about ten minutes of exchanging eye contact, I slowly began to cross my eyes, causing the changeling to blink in confusion. I smirked victoriously and crossed my arms.

"Ha, you blinked" I grinned, puffing up my chest in mock boasting.

The changeling simply tilted his head and glanced over at the other changeling guard beside him, giving him an expecting look of confusion, as if silently asking the other if he had any clue what just happened. The other guard simply shrugged, returning the confused gesture. They both then returned their gaze to me, tilting their heads.

"Never mind, you're no fun..." I sighed, laying back on the bed I was seated on, staring at the ceiling blankly out of sheer boredom.

How long has it been, an hour? A half hour? What the hell is taking her so long!? I mulled with an aggravated sigh.

"Walter Barnes?" a changeling drone spoke, opening the door to the room, peering its head inside.

"Yes?" I replied, looking up from my prone display.

"The Queen will see you now" the drone said, opening the door the rest of the way.

"Well finally, what took her so long?" I thought aloud, standing up, towering over the changelings who only reached up just below my shoulder line.

The drone simply remained silent, watching me as I approached. Once I was close enough, it began to lead me out of the bedroom and through the corridors of the castle... Er, I guess I should say cave. I don't know much about the whole tension between ponies and changelings, but apparently it got to the point where the changelings had to go into hiding, thus explaining the whole reason why Chrysalis decided to build her entire castle/city within a hollowed mountain a few miles deep into the Everfree. I've only been here once, and this place was still under construction, it looks nearly completed now.

As I continued to follow the drone, I took a glance out the window of the castle hall, taking in the view of the vast city of changelings stretched for what looked like miles. I don't know if the mountain really was this big, or if Chrysalis had her changelings use some sort of magic to make things bigger on the inside than they were on the outside, for some reason that sounds familiar and I don't know why... Anyways, digression aside; the view was rather beautiful.

I saw a small series of houses, similar to that of the suburbs you would see back on earth. I could see families, changelings along with what appears to be... Humans? Yes, humans, such as I... From the looks of it, they had started families with the changelings, there even appeared to be children crossbred between human and changeling. The sight was... Heart warming. The changeling leading me must of noticed I was no longer following him, and turned around.

"Beautiful sight, isn't it?" the changeling asked, approaching me, smirking at the warm smile I had on my face.

"What--Oh yeah, yes... It is" I replied, glancing between the changeling and the view.

"You humans are quite the miracle workers" the changeling spoke, grabbing my attention.

"Oh?" I looked at him quizzically.

"Humans are filled with vast quantities of love, enough to keep this entire hive fed for many years to come" the changeling explained, causing me to raise a brow and return my gaze out the window.

"Yeah... Humans are rather strong in the field of emotion..." I replied, sighing as my gaze softened.

"May I ask a question?" the changeling looked up at me.

"Shoot" I replied, glancing down at him.

"Every human I've met so far is just leaking with love, with very little negative emotions..." the changeling began, tilting his head as he stared up at me dexterously.

"And?" I rose a quizzical brow.

"How come... All I see inside of you... Is darkness?" he asked, causing a long pause of silence to be held.

"Strong emotions are included with the possibility of certain flaws..." I replied, lowering my eyes for a moment.

"Flaws?" he questioned, tilting his head.

"Flaws you wouldn't understand unless you've lived on earth..." I replied, causing the changeling to simply look at me in confusion.

"I see..." the changeling looked at me as if he were trying to solve a puzzle.

"Lets hurry up and get to Chrysalis already, she must be waiting" I spoke, breaking the changelings train of thought.

"Oh, right, my apologies" the changeling quickly straightened up his posture and continued to lead me along the corridors of the castle.

About three minutes later, we arrived at the doors of Chrysalis' royal chambers. I glanced up at the large twin doors with a rather fancy choice of decor splayed all across the dark wooden planks. The changeling rapped gently on the doors, using one of the knockers that were resting roughly a foot above each door knob.

"Yes?" I heard Chrysalis' mature voice echo behind the twin doors.

"My Queen, Sir Walter Barnes has been delivered as requested" the changeling declared.

"He may enter alone" Chrysalis called back, the changeling simply nodded and gave me a salute before walking his own separate way.

I took a deep breath before slowly grasped the knobs of the twin doors, opening them slowly before walking in. I felt the doors slam shut behind me, the door knobs enveloped with a fiery green aura. I yelped a bit, jumping forward at the sudden slam, bumping into something rather soft and perky. I blushed darkly, looking up to see Chrysalis' amused expression peering down at me. I quickly pulled away from her breasts, scratching my chin a bit.

"Greetings, Walter darling" Chrysalis spoke, placing her hands on her hips.

"Um, hey Chryssie... It's been a while" I spoke, scratching the back of my head as I looked up at her.

"Yes, too long" she spoke, taking a few steps towards me before embracing me closely to her.

"Um... I uh..." I stuttered, tripping over my words, trying to form a sentence as she nuzzled the top of my head.

"You're flustered, I see?" Chrysalis smirked, pulling away from the hug.

"Well... It's not everyday the Queen of changelings comes by and snatches you up from two spring swinged mares" I replied with a nervous chuckle.

"Oh yes, those foals... I swear, it would be expected from the subjects of Celestia and Luna to have more elegance and grace... However, when it comes to the main six, I guess they stand out from the  rest" Chrysalis spoke with a sigh, grasping my head, leading me towards the bed.

"Heh... They're still young, not as matured as you are. They're experiencing things that they're not yet quite used to, unlike you, since you're matured and all" I replied, causing a grin to form across her lips.

"Matured, hm? So I take it you like mature mares?" she inquired, causing me to blush.

"No comment" I replied, crossing my arms, this only made her giggle.

"Anyways, there is important matters I wish to discuss with you Walter" Chrysalis spoke, sitting down on the bed, positioning me between her legs while she rested her chin on my head.

"And... What is that?" I asked, looking up at her, my face a dark shade of crimson.

"I would like for you to be my husband"
