Silver Mane’s P.O.V
Six-thirty A.M
There was a dull pain in the back of my head. I groaned softly and nuzzled deeper into the warm, soft and somewhat fluffy pillow, which for some reason smelled like blueberries. I smiled for myself as I inhaled the exquisite scent and slowly opened my eyes and glanced to the left.
The room I was currently in was quite dark, with an exception of a few streaks of sunlight that passed through the window curtains. There were bottles scattered all over the floor, a few bags of chips here and there and a unicorn stallion snoring quietly in an armchair.
Heh, what a party. I thought, smiling contently as I once again nuzzled into my warm pillow and sighed happily. Yesterday’s party had been awesome. A bunch of my friends had been here, there had been board-games, food, drinks and dancing. I’d never been much of a drinker, but I didn’t mind a glass of cider or two on special occasions.
I wasn’t much of a dancer either, I had just sat in a corner of the room and observed the dancing ponies. The food had been great too and almost everypony had joined in on the board-games and other fun activities.
My pillow let out a soft groan.
Wait, pillows aren’t supposed to groan, right? I thought and cautiously opened my eyes, not seeing the dark-grey coat on my forehoof, but an indigo colored muzzle right in front of me. Still too drowsy to fully register what was happening, I overlooked the pony under me. She had a familiar crimson-red mane, a well maintained indigo coat and pair of indigo wings tightly tucked to her sides.
She seemed familiar in some way, although I couldn’t put my hoof on it. I glanced down at her cutie mark, only to see if I could figure out who was sleeping under me. It looked like a bottle of some kind, and looked familiar. Doesn’t that cutiemark belong to… Then it dawned upon me, I had been using Moon Berry as a pillow.
My eyes instantly shot wide open. Oh buck m- no, just stay calm now Silver, if you move really carefully, she might not notice you and stay asleep. I thought for myself and slowly started making my way out of the couch.
Moon opened her eyes and blinked a few times, then looked directly at me.
Oh buck me. I stopped moving instantly.
Moon smiled faintly towards me. “Mornin Silvy, slept well?’’ she asked and let out a tired yawn.
…Okay, just… just play along and you might survive this. I thought. “Y-yes I-I did, how about y-you?’’ I stammered, doing my best to remain as calm as possible.
Moon giggled quietly and sighed. “Wonderful,’’ she replied and closed her eyes. “Hey Silvy, could you make me some coffee, will you?’’
Did, did she just call me Silvy? “Ye-yeah, sure thing.’’ I replied and moved out of the couch. My heart was racing as I trotted towards the kitchen. Alright, she doesn’t seem to be upset, which means that I can still make it out of this alive. I thought as I entered the kitchen and started looking for something that I could make coffee.
I soon found a jar with quick-coffee powder, two cups and a pot in the cabinets around the kitchen. I then poured some water into the pot, placed it on the stove and turned up the heat on which plate I had placed the half-filled pot.
After about five minutes, I poured some of the hot water into the cup, applied two spoons of quick-coffee powder into it and stirred around to make the dark-brown powder dissolve faster. With the cups of coffee ready to go, I grabbed the cup between my teeth, making sure to not dip my silvery colored mane into it as I did so, and slowly made my way towards the living-room.
Not much had changed since I left it, there was still a unicorn sleeping in the armchair, still a lot of bottles scattered around the floor and Moon was still lying on the couch. I slowly made my way towards the pegasus mare, making sure to not step on any of the bottles that was lying on the floor.
When I was right next to the couch, Moon seemed to notice my presence and looked up at me.
“Hey, is that my coffee?’’ Moon asked and blew away a strip of her crimson-red mane.
I gave her a quick nod in reply and then placed the cup on the coffee-table in front of the couch. “Y-yeah.’’ I said quietly and smiled nervously.
Moon sat up in the couch. “Thanks,’’ she said with a soft smile, then took the cup between her hooves and brought it to her muzzle, closed her eyes and hummed quietly as she took a small gulp from the cup. “Oh, I really needed that,’’ she sighed with a soft smile and then looked up at me. “Hey, why don’t you come and sit over here, I could use the company.’’
Okay, just stay cool, your crush asked if you wanted to sit down next to her, just stay calm and you might not buck this up. I thought for myself, doing my best to look calm as I sat down next to Moon.
“So, how are you feeling this morning? You seemed pretty fatigued when you finally fell asleep a few hours ago.’’ Moon asked and took another sip from her cup.
“Um… I g-guess I’m fine, just a light headache is all.’’ I replied and chuckled nervously.
Moon let out a quiet giggle. “Well, I guess that’s understandable, you had quite a few glasses of cider last night.’’ she hummed and then placed her cup on the coffee table.
“D-did I?’’ I asked hesitantly.
“Yes, you did,’’ Moon confirmed. “Don’t you remember anything from last night?’’ she asked, turned her head towards me and smiled wryly.
… Alright Silver, just stay calm. Somepony must have spiked the cider with something, or just brought in a much stronger one. Otherwise you would’ve known what Moon is talking about. I bit my bottom lip. “Um… I don’t really remember anything other than crashing on the couch, everything after that is just blank.’’ I replied and lowered my gaze. Celestia what was it in that cider? There is no chance that I got that drunk if I only had two glasses.
“Oh, do you think I could remind you?’’ Moon said smugly and I felt her nuzzle my cheek.
“Uh… I-I’m…’’ I stammered, unable to say another word and simply sat there like an idiot with my jaw hanging. Okay who set up this prank? Was it Emerald? No, he’s too stupid. Maybe Breeze? No, she would never be able to conv-
My thoughts were interrupted by a soft pair of lips being pressed against my own. I could only watch as the mare, which I just a day ago only could’ve dreamed to share this moment with, now was slowly pushing me onto my back.
Her lips carried a strong taste of coffee, which wasn’t that surprising since she’d just had half a cup, with a hint of raspberries. I simply lay there for a few moments, unable to move an inch until realization finally dawned upon me.
Moon is… kissing me…she’s, kissing me. I thought, feeling a flood of blood rise up into my cheeks. Do something! Kiss back! Embrace her! Something! A voice in the back of my head screamed. I forced myself out of my shocked state, then gently put my right hoof behind Moon’s head and kissed back.
We stayed like that for a few more moments, before Moon opened her eyes, her beautiful sapphire blue eyes, gazing into my own yellow eyes and broke the kiss, smiling lovingly towards me. “Now that wasn’t so hard now, was it?’’ she asked with her head tilted to the side slightly.
“I-I guess not,’’ I replied, still blushing as I smiled nervously towards the mare on top of me. “So, wh-where does this l-leave us now?’’
Moon replied by once again pressing her lips against my own. The taste of coffee had now faded a bit, and was slightly overpowered by the raspberries. I gently put my other hoof around her head and returned the kiss, drawing her body as close to my own as possible.
After a few moments, Moon broke the kiss and smiled warmly towards me. “Has anypony ever told you that you’re a better kisser when you’re drunk?’’ she asked and raised an eyebrow.
I felt my blush become even more noticeable and chuckled nervously. “Heh, no. Not really,’’ I replied and let my ears fall flat. “I’ve not really kissed anypony before, yet alone gotten drunk.’’ I admitted with a light shrug, finally able to say a single sentence without stammering, but still nervous as hell.
Moon laid her head on top of my chest. “Oh, does that make me the first one to kiss you?’’ she asked and raised an eyebrow.
“Well, there was that filly in kindergarten…’’ I said thoughtfully and wrapped my hooves around Moon’s neck. “Although we were only about four years old, so I guess that doesn’t really count.’’
“Aww… That is so adorable,’’ Moon pouted and tilted her head to the side. “Do you remember her name?’’
“Um… it might have been Gem Stone, but it was quite some time ago so I’m not really sure,’’ I replied, finally feeling my heartbeat sink down to a reasonable level. “Why’re you even asking?’’
Moon shrugged. “Just a little curious I guess,’’ she smiled. “Got a problem with that?’’ she asked jokingly.
I returned the smile and chuckled lightly. “No, not at all,’’ I said and gave her a quick peck on her snout, wrapped my hooves around her shoulders and hugged her tightly. “Actually, it’s kinda nice that you want to know stuff about me.’’ I said and ruffled her mane lightly.
“Well then, so you don’t mind me asking why you’re still sleeping with a teddy bear?’’ Moon asked with an amused smile.
I felt myself blush heavily. “H-hey, I only did that when I was a colt.’’ I defended, hoping that my blush wasn’t overly noticeable.
Moon raised an eyebrow. “So, I guess that is why you kept murmuring that you were missing Teddy in your sleep?’’ she asked smugly.
“Hey, that teddy bear meant a lot to me when I was younger,’’ I informed and huffed. “And his name was Sir Teddy, in case you were wondering. He also proved to be a very nice cuddling partner during thunderstorms.’’ I added a moment later. Please tell me I did not just say that.
“Aw, that is so cute!’’ Moon exclaimed and let out a light laugh. “Do you still have him?’’
I chuckled nervously. “My parents though I was too old for him, so they gave him to my brother.’’ I replied.
“Aw, poor you,’’ Moon pouted and let her ears fall flat on her head. “Well, at least you got me now, right?’’ she said and smiled faintly.
Celestia, if you wake me up now, I will hunt you down and kill you, you hear me?. I smiled back gently. “Yeah, I guess I do,’’ I said, chuckled lightly and gave Moon a soft kiss on her snout. “And so far, I’m enjoying your company a lot more than his.’’
“Aw, thank you,’’ Moon smiled, then laid the side of her head on top of my chest and tightened the hug, wrapping her soft wings around me as well. “So, are you doing anything next Saturday?’’
I hugged her back. “No, I think I’m free.’’ I replied and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
“So, does supper at my place sound good?’’ Moon suggested.
“Y-yeah, that sounds great,’’ I replied. “So… when can I stop by then?’’
“Hm… does seven P.M work for you?’’ Moon asked hesitantly and looked up at me.
I smiled. “Yes, sounds perfect.’’ I replied, gave her a soft kiss on her snout and then yelped in surprise as she wrapped her hooves around my neck in a warm embrace, nuzzling my shoulder as she did so. I gladly returned the hug, burying my muzzle in her crimson-red mane, inhaling the sweet scent of strawberries.
We stayed like that for a few minutes, soon everypony else seemed to start waking up as well. A few of them cast us a glance, but I couldn’t care less. I was cuddled up with a mare, a mare that I had grown to love over the years I had known her. And I couldn’t wish to be anywhere else than with her, at a less public place, right now.
“Alright everypony! Listen up!’’ a male voice called out from somewhere behind the couch. “Thank you. So, I know all of you must be really tired, quite a party last night am I right?’’ he was met with a quiet cheer from a few of the ponies who were awake.
“Anyways, there was one thing that I forgot to mention before the party started, and it’s not that you have to clean this place up,’’ he was once again met with cheers from those who were awake.
“Alright, since we were going to have a few visitors under the age of eighteen, I decided to buy alcohol-free cider.’’ the stallion announced.
Moon Berry’s P.O.V
Two A.M
“Oh c'mon sis? I seriously can’t see what you see in this guy.’’ my brother said and shook his head.
“Really Dusk? Do you honestly really care?’’ I asked and eyed my brother, only causing him to roll his eyes. “I just think he’s a nice stallion alright? So why don’t you just shut up and help me instead of just standing there like the idiot you are?’’
Dusk chuckled. “Alright alright, just calm down for Celestia’s sake,’’ he chuckled. “Though I still Think you could simply ask him out or something, he's made it pretty obvious that he likes you.’’
I groaned. “How can you tell? If I remember correctly, you said the exact same thing about that mare you asked out last week.’’ I asked in annoyance.
Dusk shrugged. “She had a coltfriend, I aint gonna go and ruin their relationship just because I liked her,’’ he said casually and yawned. “So, you still needed that anti-blush spell?’’
I sighed and hung my head. “Sure, just get it over with.’’ I said, then felt an tingling sensation around my body as it was surrounded by a grey aura for a few seconds.
“Alright, done,’’ Dusk said. “So, you sure you don't want an anti-stammering spell too?’’
I huffed. “No, I think I'll be fine without it.’’
Dusk chuckled. “If you say so.’’ he shrugged. “But personally, I think there are better ways of telling your little crush that you like him.’’
“Can you just do what you're supposed to instead of just being annoying for once?’’ I questioned and eyed my brother.
“Alright alright, just calm down,’’ Dusk chuckled and shook his head. “So, you just want me to levitate him about three hoofs above the couch?’’
I nodded.
“Alright sis, you’ll owe me for this one, just keep that in mind.’’
