A One-shot based around the early days when Princess Luna returned to Canterlot after Nightmare Moon was vanquished. Follow a young human who takes on the task of not only teaching Luna about her new sorroundings, but also becoming her friend.

Being the only human in Equestria makes one unique, awe-inspiring, and lonely. I was feared from the start by the average pony, and the only one I had ever had any kind of socialization with was the princess of the sun. Yet she was just a single pony. She taught me everything I knew about Equestria, helped me learn new skills, and she became someone I went to if I needed someone to talk to... though I rarely ever went anymore. Her student, Twilight Sparkle, while she was a sweet and intellectual mare, she still seemed to not warm up to me, just like every other pony in Equestria. That had been my life for the past year or so, and the change I had been looking for had finally came... though in the most unexpected of ways.

After a night that had lasted longer than I had become accustomed to, a new Alicorn came to the castle, an Alicorn named Luna. Princess Luna. She had seemed tired, saddened, and wary of everything around her. The guards seemed to treat her neutrally, almost how they did for me. Princess Celestia had contacted me the following morning, and asked me to speak with this new Alicorn, and it was then that I had learned Luna was Celestia's sister.

I had been warned her speech was antiquated, but I had been asked to talk with her... to teach her of Equestria, and to teach her the correct way to talk. Her speech was antiquated... her understanding of modern culture sparse... and although I wasn't given an explanation as to why, I knew my task was given to me for a reason.

While that reason was obscure to all except Celestia, I knew I couldn't fail this task, as every time I thought of Princess Luna, I remembered how she looked when I had first seen her... lonely. This is my story of how I first met the Princess of the night, all the way to when I became more than just a mentor, but a friend for her; her best friend.

Note: This story has last been looked over and edited January, yet it was months before that when I first wrote this story. I was just afraid that my family or friends would stumble across this story, and that is why I had debated for such a long time whether to post this under my main account, or another account. Yet then I realized one night, with the mature filter on, they would need to make an account just to view this story, and the thought of any of them making an account on this website is just an absurd idea to me.

This story had my heart put into it as I wrote it, just like A Second Chance and Hikers Ordeal. There should be no to very little errors, as well as being a good quality story. Please let me know what you all thought of this story in the comment section when you finish...

Her First... Best True Friend

“You understand what your task is?”

Looking up at the white muzzle, I nodded to confirm I had heard.

“You know what time you should arrive?”

Once again, I nodded.

The muzzle suddenly displayed a smile, and this time a statement was made, “I expect you to treat her just how you would me. Do you have any questions?”

I felt a frown crease my lips and I had to stop myself from shaking my head as I did have one. Looking up into the purple eyes of Princess Celestia, I asked, “Do you want me to go see her right now?”

“That won’t be necessary... she is most likely asleep right now.” Nodding again, I saw her smile widen, and she said, “You are dismissed then... I wish you the best of luck.”

Stopping in front of the doors at the top of the tower where Princess Luna resided, I stood there as I awaited an answer. I had knocked only moments ago, and as I stood waiting, I could only ponder what Princess Luna would be like, as I didn’t have much experience with ponies in general.

The door adopted a blue glow and began to open, yet stopped when it was halfway open. Through the door I saw the blue Alicorn, Princess Luna, standing there and looking up at me. Her eyes appeared tired as she asked, “What dost thou want...?”

Offering a brief bow, I straightened up and said, “I wish to talk, Princess Luna. Your sister wants me to teach you everything I know about Equestria. She also wants me to talk with you...”

The tired expression lessened enough to where she just appeared sad now, but she opened the door wider as she said, “Please, cometh in... thy companionship is appreciated...”

Following the princess through the doorway, I saw her bed was unmade, and there was a cushion situated near the window. While I followed her though, I took note of her appearance. Her fur was a light bluish coloration, and her mane was an even lighter azure color. Her body was slimmer than even Princess Celestia’s, yet she was easily smaller, yet still larger than a normal pony.

When her ear twitched, I took that as my que to stop looking her over, and when I turned away; I saw her look back from the corner of my eye. Instead I looked towards the desk stacked with books, and I noticed many of them were actually aligned with the subject I was also instructed to cover with the princess.

Turning back forward and looking towards Princess Luna, I saw she was sitting on the cushion near the window as she looked towards me with a curious expression. Making my way a few more steps, I sat down in front of her and returned her gaze, though with less intensity. As she looked me over, I was able to see her eyes running up and down my physique, I saw the curiosity intensify, and I waited for her to ask the question.

When she was ready, she looked me in the eyes and asked, “What specie arte thee Theo...?”

Sitting up a bit straighter, I felt a faint smile spread across my lips as I said with a bit of pride, “I am a human.” I felt the pride and smile slowly decreasing until I felt a bit saddened, and I continued on so she would know what every other pony knew, “I'm not from this world, and I am the only human in this world... I'm not sure how I got here, but I am a human. Humans are omnivores, and we can tend to be aggressive or even docile creatures.”

Her curiosity didn’t waver, and I didn’t see a sudden change in her view towards me just yet. If anything, the curiosity in her eyes intensified even more, and she laid down on the cushion and leaned closer to me, “How did thee arrive... why dost thou tell me if thy arte dangerous as well?”

Since she had asked a key of questions that related to each other in events, I knew I might as well tell her everything that she could just learn from her sister. “When I had arrived, it had been in the middle of a court session. I had been hurt and scared... so I had attacked the first thing I thought was a danger to me; which happened to be a guard with a spear pointed at me.” Clearing my throat as I looked down, I proceeded to tell her why I was dangerous, “Even though I'm not trained in combat or the use of any weapons, I had hurt a number of guards during my initial arrival.”

After I finished, silence hung over the room, and I dared not look up. My arrival had went over as bumpy... and Princess Celestia had been less than pleased when she had come to my dungeon later that afternoon. It had only been after a brief interrogation session that she had learned of the misunderstandings on both our sides, and after apologies were exchanged, I had been invited to tea.

“Theo... why would thee attackith a pony?”

Looking back up and to Princess Luna, I saw she was looking to me with a suspicious light, and I already knew that expression; an expression where every answer was wrong. Letting out a sigh, I shook my head lightly, before I said, “For self-defense. I was hurt and felt threatened, so I sought to protect myself to avoid further harm...”

She kept looking at me for a few more moments, and as she did, I could easily see she was rolling my words over in her head, and while she thought about it, I saw her also looking to the side. While she thought, I reached down to the ground and opened up the bags lying against my waist. Opening up one of the flaps, I brought out one of my many journals, but this one contained the first part of four journals full of notes I had taken when learning of Equestria’s history.

Flipping the notebook open, I looked through the contents I had on the first page. Looking up, I saw Princess Luna seemed to be done thinking to herself, but she didn’t seem to want to say anything as she looked towards me. Scooting a bit closer, I turned myself to the side and turned the notebook so she could see it as well. “Princess Luna, I will start from the earliest notes I have, and I will tell you what I can from them and my memory. If you want, I can visit the library and bring books that further explain details that I don’t have. Are you ready to start?”

“Er... What arte thy speaking of...?” Looking to my side, I saw the princess giving me the most confused expression I had ever seen on any nobility’s face, and she was sitting up straight now instead of the relaxed posture from before. Her question was enough of a hint for me, and I swore internally as I realized I would need to... modernize her speech.

Closing the notebook, I looked towards her as I tried to formulate a plan. I hadn’t anticipated that I would need to teach her how to talk properly so quickly, and I took the chance to look back over to the desk containing the proper books. Looking back to the princess, I cleared my throat, and I did my best to say what I hoped she would understand, “Princess... it will be best if I teach you how to speak like I do... there will be words or expressions in my notes you won’t understand otherwise.”

Her expression turned to one of unease, but she nodded as she said a single word, “Understood.”

Standing up, I made my way to her desk, grabbed the required books, and then I turned and made my way back to the princess so that I could start the lesson. This was a task I was expecting to take longer than just today to reach... and it was one I was not anticipating...

That week I had spent more time with Princess Luna than I had ever with Princess Celestia in an entire month. Princess Luna had trouble with our attempts at teaching her the proper form of speech, yet she was studious and proved to have learned much. I had also noticed she was paying extreme attention to me as well whenever I spoke, and I could expect that was another way she was learning how to speak properly so fast. We still hadn’t touched the subject of Equestrian history yet, as I was working on touching up on her speech some more so that it was on par with everyone else’s.

Her sadness still remained, and she always seemed tired, yet she had also seemed to be aggravated at times. During some of our study sessions after mispronouncing words or mistaking meanings between words that sounded alike, she would either turn away, refuse to continue on with the lesson, or even in an odd case of confusion, mute me with a spell. I had actually been relieved when she had done that, as I had been growing irritated at repeating the same explanation multiple times myself.

While I had been teaching the princess though, she had started to seem more distracted at times. Since our study sessions lasted most of the afternoons and some of the night, I had started to notice she would stare into the night sky and at the moon. Princess Luna was depressed, and I had no clue as to why, but whenever she looked up at the night sky, I was able to see a deep pain hidden deep in her eyes. I was able to feel the sadness behind those cobalt eyes as well.

Tonight however... I was going to attempt to discover the root of this hidden pain she had, and if possible... fix it...

Stepping in through the doors, I found Princess Luna lying on her side on her bed. She wasn’t looking at me... rather she was looking up at the ceiling while looking quite forlorn. Making my way to her side, she made no indication that she was even paying attention to me as her ears didn’t even twitch from the sound of me walking in.

When I was in front of her, I kneeled down and looked to her for any form of response... only I knew none would come. She was silent the entire time, and I saw her eyes starting to become teary eyed the longer she looked up at the ceiling. Even though such contact was never made before, and I wasn’t sure if it was prohibited or not, or even what the consequences were if it was, I reached forward and set a hand on the end of her uncovered hoof.

Her eyes snapped to my own when my skin touched her fur, but it was then that I saw a single tear slide from the corner of her eye. She slowly pulled her hoof from beneath my hand, and as she did, she used her other to wipe at her eyes, and after a sniffle, she asked, “Why did th- you touch me?”

Bringing my hand back from the bed, I sat down on my heels and placed my hands in my lap as I answered confidently and honestly, “Because I didn’t want to see my princess crying.” I saw her eyes widen in surprise, but I knew this would possibly be the only or best opening, so I continued on, “Princess Luna, what is it that troubles you so much that you were ready to cry?”

When I asked that question, I saw her muzzle turn down into a frown, and she looked away from me as the pain and sadness replaced the momentary surprise. I saw the tears slowly returning, yet not a single one spilled down her blue fur. I heard the click of her muzzle locking up, and I saw the stern yet sad expression written all over her face. She was set on not revealing what it was to me...

Leaning closer, but refraining from reaching out until she was about to start shedding tears, I did my best to get her to look back to me. I didn’t know what was causing her this feeling of being forlorn, but I did know it hurt, and I knew if she kept it to herself, it would only cause her so much more pain.

...I knew this as I was still keeping my own painful secret...

As she turned her head away from me even more, I leaned against her bed and spoke softly, “Princess... please tell me so I can help you. If you keep this to yourself, it will only hurt you more on the inside.” She closed her eyes, and I heard her take in a shuddery breath as she turned and rolled over so that her back was facing me. Her wings hugged her body tightly as I heard her then exhale.

“Please... go away...” After she said that, her horn lit up, and I heard the towers double doors click open. Her request was the same as an order in my eyes, and although I knew it would be harmful for her health to leave her side when she needed companionship... yet it would be foolish to ignore her request.

Letting out a sigh as I stood up, I turned to walk away, but stopped when I was halfway turned towards the open doors. Looking back to Princess Luna, I saw her shaking as she tried to regulate her breathing. Kneeling down once more, I reached a hand out hesitantly, but in the end I set it firmly against her shoulder. I did feel her tense up again, but before she could pull away, I leaned closer and spoke just as softly as before, “Princess... if you wish to speak about what you are dealing with, please... send for me. I promise I won’t tell anyone else... I know how it feels. It isn’t something you should have to deal with on your own.” Pulling my hand away from her shoulder, I stood back up, but added, “This isn’t something you have to deal with alone Princess...”

Making my way to the open doors, I lowered my head in regret that this plan of mine had simply backfired. Instead of telling me what was troubling her how I had wanted, she was sending me away. If she was going to deal with this on her own, then I could only hope it would pass in time instead of being something that hung over her head and festered how it did for me with my own secret.

Before I walked through the door however, they eased shut on their own, and I stood there for a few moments as I waited for the princess to say something. I lifted my chin and looked at the doors surface, and when I heard a sniffle from behind me, Princess Luna spoke in her distraught voice, “Theo... please, come here...”

Turning around, I saw she was still facing the other way, yet she did give me another request. Making my way to her bedside, I felt relieved that she was choosing to talk instead of letting the pain simmer below the surface. As I made my way closer however, she rolled onto her stomach and sat up, but she kept her head turned away. When I did reach her bedside, she looked back down at her pillow, but when I went to kneel, she snapped a hoof up and looked towards me as she said in distress, “Nay! Uh... no... sit. On my bed...”

Standing back up, I moved over and sat on the foot of the bed, and it was then that Princess Luna lowered her hoof and looked back at her pillow. Her expression was one of uncertainty, and she seemed distressed, but the tears were still there... just not as prominent as before.

When she looked towards me, she seemed so much more exhausted than she had before, but she turned and moved herself until she was sitting beside me, and she let out a sigh. “Theo... I'm tired.” When I looked over, she was still looking down, and she laid down beside me as she said, “I'm tired of being unable to perform magic... I can hardly perform the basic spells such as opening the door...”

Looking towards the doors, I saw that they were closed, but I remembered every time she opened them, they only opened halfway before she stopped her magic. Giving the princess my attention once more, I saw how that could become irritating, and I asked, “That isn’t all of it... is it Princess?”

Her eyes lowered, and she lowered her gaze to the floor as a tear slid down the side of her cheek. Her eyes blinked a few times, and she turned away from me some more as she brought a hoof up and wiped at her cheek once again. She didn’t say anything, but I knew she was thinking about it as I saw her shoulder shake a bit, and I heard her sniff heavily.

“Princess?”

“I'm... I am tired of knowing nothing. We haven’t even started to learn the history of Equestria yet, and I still have trouble with our language...” Giving my full attention to the princess, I saw tears threatening to spill down her cheeks, yet she glared at the floor while still appearing remorseful. Then she proceeded to say, “And you... when thou arte done teaching me, thy presence won’t be required anymore, and I will be alone again. Thou only stays so that thee can finish thy lessons faster,” as she continued on, I felt my heart lurch as I saw tears beginning to spill down her cheeks in earnest now, “thy arte only here to teach me... you won’t come back once you are done... y-you...”

I was very careful whenever I was completing any task, and I did my best to excel if it was possible, but if it was something that needed to be done, I would simply work on finishing the task quickly. I liked to think about things before I acted, and I always tried to choose the best route or action for whatever situation I was in or what task needed to be done. Rules were placed there to keep things in order, and the unspoken rules were just as important if not more so. Yet everything that I liked to do or follow was thrown out the window in the next moments.

As Princess Luna laid there beside me, lying limply on her bed as she cried, I didn’t care if I was going to get in trouble. She may have held the title as a princess, but right now I saw a mare in need of comforting... so I gave her the comfort I knew she needed.

I picked her up and held her close in a hug, and once my arms were around her shoulders and my hands holding her back; she was pressing herself against my chest as she cried tears of pain... sorrow... and loneliness.

As she cried, I felt her shaking, and she was nuzzling into my hold as I lowered my lips and did my best to sooth her by whispering words of encouragement into her ear, “It’s all right Princess.... I am here... I won’t leave... it is all right Princess Luna...”

Her crying intensified, and while I held her, I gently ran my fingers across her fur in what I hoped would sooth her broken heart. I felt my chest becoming wet through my shirt, but I didn’t give it a second thought as I pulled her closer. She needed comforting, and she needed someone there for her, and since I was the only one here, I would comfort her as best as I could.

...

Princess Luna had since stopped sobbing, and while she seemed to have stopped crying, she remained in my hold as I continued to run my hands over her fur. She had been silent for some time, but I knew she was still awake as she would occasionally move and sniffle. The entire time she had been crying, I did my best to keep my secret buried as I felt the sting of tears at my own eyes. Her confession of what was troubling her had reminded me of all the pain I felt for my own, and while I had comforted her during her time of need, I struggled to keep the unshed tears of my struggle sealed away.

When she lifted her head to move it again, I brought my chin off the top of her head so that her horn could move freely. She turned her head until her left cheek was pressing against my right shoulder, and as I lowered my head again, I felt her hooves tighten around my back. Sometime when she had started to calm down, she had wrapped her hooves around my back as she pulled herself into my lap. While at first it had been awkward, I knew I wouldn’t force her out of being comforted for my own comfort, so I had simply pulled her closer as I continued to whisper soothing words to her.

While we sat there, the sunlight starting to fade as night approached, I felt the princess slowly pushing herself out of my hold. I didn’t resist at all, and I pulled my arms away from around her as she looked up and into my eyes. Her eyes were red, and I couldn’t place an expression on her face, but something she had said earlier had been rattling around in me. Bringing a hand up, I cupped the bottom of her muzzle and said carefully... reassuringly, “Princess Luna... I will be your friend before your teacher if you want me to be... and if you wish for me to see you after I finish teaching you what Princess Celestia told me to, then I will do so...”

I saw her cheeks color a bit, and she pulled her muzzle out of my palm, and she looked to the side as she nodded. She pulled herself back and out of my lap as she sat up, and I saw the fur was matted around her eyes from where her tears had stained her fur. I looked down and saw my shirt had dried, and it was only wrinkled a little bit, though I wouldn’t have minded if it was more-so.

Yet as I looked up, my mind went blank as I felt a fire burning across my lips, and I felt my entire body freeze as bolts of electricity surged through my veins. My heart lurched as it skipped a beat, and I felt my eyes close a bit as an intoxicating feeling surged through my body, before everything began to feel hot. When my eyes locked onto the blue fur around closed eyes, I looked down and saw a muzzle pressing against my lips.

Just as I started to push forward and my eyes began to slide closed, the feeling was gone, and I saw Princess Luna pulling away as her cheeks began to adopt a faint red hue. Her breathing sounded heavy, but she wasn’t looking towards me as she said, “Thou a-arte dismissed...” I blinked a few times, and when I registered what she said, I stood up and began to make my way towards her room’s doors. Yet as I reached them and I pulled one of them opened, I heard her speak once again, “Theo,” turning and looking back at the princess, I saw her genuinely smiling, albeit with a blush, and she said softly, “Thank you...”

I felt a smile of my own forming and I inclined my head towards her, before I left the room...

Ever since that night, Princess Luna had ceased to allow me into her room, and while I had worried I was waiting for a consequence to take place, I had received a note under my door one night while I had slept. That note had been a week ago, and a week before that had been the night I comforted the princess. The note had read very clearly and decoratively, ‘I will send for you when I am ready to speak.’

The letter had eased my worries, and while I had waited for her note to arrive, I had walked through the gardens most nights before I would return to my room for rest. I shared my meals with Princess Celestia in the dining hall most mornings, but I ate alone during the evening hours. While I spoke with no one else now that Princess Luna remained alone in her tower, and Princess Celestia was busy with her work, it would seem like a lonely time; yet I had never felt more alive.

Nobody to talk to, nothing important to do, and all the time I could ever want... yet I felt my heart beating every moment with a single thought on my mind. The princess and I had shared a moment I knew neither of us had experienced in a long time, and she had seemed almost... happy after I left.

Yet the thing that left me feeling elate the most was the kiss the princess and I had shared. Although brief and surprising, it had been tender, and where it lacked in passion, it left me feeling gifted. Princess Luna had not only trusted me enough to be there for her when she needed somebody, but she had allowed me to hold her close to my body so that I could ease her pain.

And then she had kissed me...

It had been like that ever since that night... all I found myself thinking about was the feeling of her lips pressing against my own. I knew the moment had been a brief one, and I probably wasn’t supposed to overthink the entire event how I was, but it hadn’t helped that I had dreamt of it for the first three nights...

Yet while that was something I had been working on, I had only managed to keep it at the back of my mind as I went about the day... though it always seemed to linger in my thoughts. Yet then the awaited call had come in the form of another letter sliding under my door. It was written in the same way as the last one I had received from Princess Luna. Yet I had to look over the note again as I felt a bit disbelieving of its contents. ‘Please meet me in the gardens near the crystal fountain when you get this note.’

I had to set the note down as I looked up to the clock I had on the wall, and I looked towards the night sky through my open window. While I wasn’t sure if this note was meant for now, I would rather go right now and see Princess Luna instead of waiting another moment to talk to her...

Stepping past the trees and into the section of the garden that was cleared out, I saw Princess Luna resting on the bench near the crystal fountain, yet her back was turned to me as I approached. While I made my way closer, I saw one of her ears twitch in my direction, and I found a smile spreading across my lips as she sat up. As she turned and looked towards me, I saw a soft smile spreading across her muzzle as I spoke, “Princess, you wanted to speak with me?”

Placing my hands behind my back, I stood a few feet behind the bench as she said, “Yes... please, sit with me.”

Moving around the bench and taking a seat beside her, I wasn’t too surprised when I felt her scoot closer, but I did feel a bit of heat pulling into my face as I felt her head rest on my shoulder. Her horn entered my vision as she rolled her head until I felt her cheek pressing against my neck, and she let out a sigh while we sat there together. The last time I had been with her, we had been much closer, but it was something I had thought was just a one-time event scenario.

Yet while she seemed to be comfortable enough with me, I knew her actions somehow hinted towards something else. A desire? An unsaid request...? I didn’t know what it was... but I knew I wanted to do something... something how I had before.

I wanted to hold her close to me... how I had done before. When I had held her close to me, despite it being in an attempt to comfort her, it had felt good to me as well. It was the first close contact I had shared with another living creature in over a year, and I had enjoyed the feeling of closeness with someone after all this time. I had grown used to being separated from others for so long that I no longer cared that I was so lonely, yet when Princess Luna had needed me that night... all those years of loneliness had seemed to catch up.

So when I made my decision, I felt a bit of apprehension as I lifted my arm, and then slowly lowered it around her back. My gut felt tight, and I felt light where I sat, but when my hand finally set against her body, I felt and heard her hum as she moved a bit closer into my side. “Theo... did you mean it...?”

The apprehension I had felt before had lessened considerably, but now I was confused about what she meant about before. The last time we had talked was before her confession... but as I thought back to that time, I remembered the stress she had exhibited. Tightening my grip around her as I remembered her sorrow, I felt an understanding to her sorrow, and it was then that I remembered why she had been so distraught...

Tilting my head to the side and leaning against her, I felt her tilt her head back, and she stopped as her horn pressed against my cheek. While I sat there with her, my arm draped around her back, and her head nestled against my neck, I smiled as I said gently, “Yes... I did mean it. I will always be your friend before your teacher, Princess Luna...”

After I finished speaking, I felt the Princess move some more, and then I felt her hoof land on my leg. I was about to look down, but as I started, I felt her hoof roll around my thigh in a somewhat arousing fashion, and as I felt the breath get caught in my throat, she spoke just as softly as I had, “You may call me just Luna... unless we are in company of others, please don’t call me by my title.” As her hoof increased in pressure, I felt my heart skip a beat as my throat began to feel tight. I wanted to ask her to stop, yet at the same time I enjoyed the feeling of her touch... even if it was just her hoof against my leg...

Yet when she pulled her hoof away from my leg, she also pulled away from my body. As she moved, I had to pull my arm back as she began to stand up, and when I looked over, she pressed her nose against my own, and with bright, wide eyes, she said happily, “Walk with me Theo!”

As she jumped off the bench, she pranced towards the fountain, and I could only stare at her while I remained seated. She had seemed so exhausted two weeks ago, yet now... she seemed so energetic.

She stopped near the fountain and looked back at me, and when she did, I saw a wide smile spreading across her muzzle. She leaned against the crystal fountain as she giggled happily, before she called out, “Are you coming Theo...?” Feeling my own smile forming, I pushed myself up off the bench and made my way after Luna. Her smile widened and I saw one of her hooves lift up in preparation for something. Yet she didn’t move as I drew closer and closer, and when I was standing in front of her, she looked up into my eyes.

“I'm ready whenever you are... Luna.” I felt a chuckle leave my throat as she giggled once again, before she turned around waited until I was at her side to start walking...

...

The soft snore from my chest was the only alert I needed to know that Luna had fallen asleep. Looking down, I saw her mane was covering much of her face as she slept against my chest. Yet when I looked back towards the night sky, I saw the moon was gone from sight, hidden behind the tops of the mountains, and the sunlight that was streaming over the horizon signaled the beginning of a new day. The hand I had around her back scratched idly, and as my fingers ran over her soft fur, I felt a dangerous feeling coursing through my body. It was confusing, yet as my fingers roved over her fur, I felt a fire tingling at the tips of my fingers as my heart fluttered in my chest.

Luna began to stir as my fingers brushed against the base of her wing, and I let my head lay against the ground again as I enjoyed the new feeling I was experiencing. I hadn’t thought this emotion would trouble me here in Equestria, yet as Luna’s head dragged slowly across my chest and closer to my neck, I knew this feeling would only lead to love the longer I spent time with her.

Infatuation...

There was a soft sigh, yet I felt the pressure on my chest and against my side disappear, and as my hand slid from her back, I just had to turn my head to see her sit up beside me. She was still facing me, and although her eyes were closed, I found myself amazed by the beauty she seemed to unintentionally display to me. Her eyes were closed, and she was pushing her mane to the side of her face as she reached up and rubbed at her eyes. Her wings were flexed open in a stretch that displayed each of her long, elegant feathers, and when she pushed her hoof past her eyes and through her mane, I felt my heart stop. Her eyes cracked open, and the smile she wore as she looked down at me was angelic... the bright yellow, red, and pink streaks of light through the sky from the rising sun only accenting her natural beauty.

She let out a quiet giggle as she lowered her hoof, and she seemed to start blushing a bit as she asked shyly, “Why are you looking at me like that?”

Smirking as I sat up, I felt an intense heat warm my face as I forced myself to look away from her gorgeous blue eyes. Leaning forward and rubbing my own eyes, I knew it was around time for me and Luna to get some sleep. I still hadn’t slept at all, and last night had been a bit... energy consuming. The princess and I had talked as we walked, and while we had stopped and relaxed a few times, she had also wanted to play tag after a while. The fun was great, and the view from above her after I had tripped had been great, yet I was exhausted from the lack of sleep...

Getting to my feet, I stretched as much as I could, yet as I did, I looked to Luna as her stomach grumbled loudly. I felt a chuckle leave my throat as I looked to her, and she was blushing heavily now as she held a hoof to her gut. Feeling a wide smile cross my lips, she refused to look up at me as I asked, “Shall we go grab a meal Luna?”

Her response was to duck her head as she seemed to frown, and I saw her look away as she nodded. Moving closer to her, I smiled as I reached forward and scratched the back of her ear, and then I walked by her. The brief moment my hand had made contact with her ear, she had leaned into it, but when my hand left, I said, “Well, let’s go.”

Walking back to the castle, I felt my heart flutter, and I glanced over my shoulder and saw Luna shake her head as she reached up and rubbed at her ear. While I looked towards her, I felt my heart flutter once more, and it was only when she looked towards me did I feel heat flooding into my cheeks. While I did feel an attraction towards Luna, she was still a princess, and I knew the odds of getting to have a romantically relationship was on par to finding a way home. Both were out of reach, yet while I knew I could only have the fantasy of her being my special other, I knew in reality it was impossible...

Two Months Later

Leaning against the large pillow as I looked down at the chessboard, I felt my brow crease as I did my best to concentrate on the strategy I had formulated. My opponent had employed a different strategy than I had expected, and thus I had yet to take even a pawn. I knew if I held true to my goal that I could possibly come out in the lead... somehow. Yet the longer I looked at the board, the longer I knew it was an impossibility for a win. Yet as I moved my knight out into the middle of the field, I saw no threats nearby, and I only needed two more turns before I could move the knight to attack my opponents Queen...

Only for my opponent to send their Bishop sliding across the board and take out my knight, and as soon as my piece left the board, I heard a giggle, before my opponent said in a teasing tone, “Check and mate...”

Looking away from the board as I didn’t need to confirm the statement, as this was my twenty-fourth loss in a row today, I looked into the smug eyes of Luna. She pushed her muzzle closer to my face, and as she did, she smirked as she said victoriously, “Check, and, mate...”

She accented the last word heavily as her eyes flashed haughtily, yet I felt my cheeks warm as I looked away. I couldn’t help the chuckle though as I said, “We need to get you a coltfriend Luna... you’re too good at all these games.” Reaching over and picking up my Queen, I looked it over, and as I did, I couldn’t help but chuckle again as I said, “First checkers, then stratagem... and now... chess.”

Looking back up, I saw she was looking at the chessboard thoughtfully, but as she did, I looked her over. While she was still the same mare I knew from before, she had changed in her appearance since the first time I had met her. Her light azure mane was now a dark celestial mane that flowed in an invisible wind just how her sisters did, yet her mane wasn’t a multitude of colors, rather it was flecked with constellations that one would see in the night sky. Her coat of fur had also darkened in color to the point of being dark blue, but she was still the same mare I had known from before. I remember being surprised from her sudden change in appearance... but I couldn’t help but appreciate the new look.

When her eyes looked up, she smiled widely as she said in her usual teasing tone, “And what about you, should we get a marefriend for you?”

While I felt my cheeks flare in a burst of heat, she laughed loudly as I glared towards her. Yet I felt an opportunity to tease her back present itself, so I dropped the frown and felt a smirk spreading across my lips; a smirk that she didn’t see. Clearing my throat was all it took to gain her attention, yet as she tried and failed to stifle a few more giggles, I said, “Why do I need a marefriend when I got you?”

Almost immediately her giggles subsided, and I saw surprise write itself all across her muzzle as her eyes widened. It was then that I realized how bold of a statement I had made, and I felt myself blush worse than ever before as I averted my gaze from her own. It was then that I knew I had overstepped my limits with the princess, yet I wasn’t sure what to expect as it was rare to see her so surprised.

So when I heard and saw her get up from the corner of my eye, I felt ice chill me to my core, and I heard her coming closer. When she stopped beside me, I felt my breath starting to come in short bursts, but then she asked questioningly, “Did you really mean that Theo...?” I swallowed thickly as she hung over me like a phantom, and just as I began to turn to her with a partial explanation, she continued on, “If you did... I would then need to think of what to do with you.” I felt my eyes widen some more, and I sat up and off the excess part of the pillow as I heard her walk behind me and around me to my other side. I turned to look to her, but she didn’t walk into my field of vision, instead, I felt her practically hovering over my shoulder as she asked, “Are you even sure you would be able to handle me Theo...?”

My heart skipped a beat as I felt her muzzle rub against my ear, and I asked curiously, if uncertainly, “L-Luna...? What do you mean?” Certainly this was just another one of her flirtatious and teasing moments...

Yet I couldn’t find truth in that as she walked around me, and I saw a spark in her eyes that I hadn’t seen before as she looked into my gaze. She walked in front of me as she pushed the table with the chessboard away from us, and she seemed to give me a somewhat hungry gaze as she said, “Alicorns are very hard to please Theo... are you sure you would be able to handle having me as your marefriend...?”

As she walked around me, she went out of my view again, and I found myself at odds where I sat; literally and metaphorically. I both wanted to believe that I was being given an opportunity, but at the same time I felt like this was another one of her ill thought out jokes she was fond of having. Yet if it was just another joke... it shouldn’t hurt to play along...

Feeling a confident smirk spreading across my lips, I looked over as Luna walked into view again, and at the sight of my smirk, I saw her smile widen as she paused in her steps. I did my best to keep a firm gaze on her own, and she store at me curiously as I asked, “Would you be able to handle me my fair princess? I am a human, after all...”

After I had said that, I had given her a wink that caused her cheeks to light up, yet she didn’t look away as her smile only widened. Her wings flexed at her sides, and instead of walking around me like before, her course altered until she was walking directly for me. Her eyes closed half way as she slowly and carefully stepped over my legs, and she licked her lips lightly as she said in a tone that sounded vaguely like she was about to do something like never before, “We will just have to see then, won’t we Theo...?”

My heart did a summersault as she stepped over me, and when she lowered her body on top of my own, she pushed me down with one of her hooves until I was lying down against the pillow. As I looked up at her, disbelieving this was really happening, I felt her hind legs tighten against my hips, and her fore hooves wrapped around my neck as she began to lean closer to me. In a daze, I found myself reaching up and holding her body close to my own, with one hand reaching up and rubbing the back of her head.

Then I felt a sensation I hadn’t since that night I had first been a friend for her. I closed my eyes as a fire scorched across my lips when her lips pressed softly against my own. It was a sweet and brief sensation, for that tender moment didn’t last long... no... it only got better. I felt her tilt her muzzle to the side, and as I did the same, she tightened her grip around my neck and pulled me closer. My heart soared as I ran my hands over her fur. One hand pulled her head closer while the other began to knead her skin and muscles along her back, and I felt a sigh leave me.

When she pulled away, I heard her pant as she hovered mere centimeters from my lips, and I cracked an eye open to see her gazing down at me through slitted eyes. Her muzzle was partially open as she continues to pant, and I was doing my best to lower the pace of my hammering heart. Yet the still air wasn’t only disturbed by the sound of our heavy breathing, as she soon said softly... hungrily, “Good so far,” I saw her smile return, “But we have much more to do...”

Feeling my smile return as well, I felt a weak chuckle leave my throat, but I closed my eyes when her lips collided with my own, and I felt her tongue slide over my lips in an alluring fashion. Yet I opened my lips and felt her own do so some more. When her tongue slid over my own, I felt a pleasurable jolt shock me to my core, and I instinctively grabbed hold of the things closest to my hands. One hand wrapped firmly against the back of her head, and I felt my thumb brush over her ear, but the other hand gripped on something much more... stiff. When my hand wrapped tightly around her wings leading edge, I felt her spasm against my body as she moaned into our passionate kissing. I was a bit surprised, yet when I squeezed again, she shivered as she moaned again, quieter, but I heard her humming afterwards.

When I pushed my tongue against her own, she pressed her own against mine firmer, but she rolled her tongue under my own as she caressed my head in her grip. When I felt her tongue slide out from under my own however, I happily ran my tongue along the underside of hers. Her tongue ran over my teeth, yet I felt her lingering on my canine tooth longer than my other teeth. I felt a bit worried that she would feel differently now that she was feeling the carnivorous part of my teeth, yet when she pulled away, I felt her do so slowly, before she whispered, “You’re so... exotic... Theo...”

She giggled after she said that, yet then she dove back against my mouth, but this time I felt her wing unfolding in my hold, and her hind legs seemed to tighten against my hips as she intensified her kissing. I felt so alive... the sound of her moans and minute gasps were barely heard over the sound of my heart hammering away in my ears, but I wasn’t sure about her, as I had since brought the hand behind her head further up to fondle her ears.

Yet there was something I heard that was off. It distracted me enough that Luna’s tongue started to dominate my own from our oral wrestling. It sounded like hooves walking near the door... but we were in her tower... nobody walked near her tower except myself and... her sister.

When I heard the door creak open, I was starting to panic... and then I felt a jolt shoot through my lower lip as Luna bit me softly, yet firmly enough to elicit the pleasurable feeling that jolted through my heart; effectively snapping my attention back to her in a haze. Yet that brief lapse in awareness was enough time for the door to open, and Princess Celestia to say cheerfully, “Sister, I have brought some... tea...?” I felt Luna’s tongue stop its motion in my mouth, and after a moment, Princess Celestia cleared her throat, before she asked hesitantly, “Should I come back at another time?”

I felt Luna pull her tongue out of my mouth as she pushed herself into a sitting position, and that only worsened the situation for me as I had become quite aroused during our... exchange. Luna in turn felt my arousal as well, and I forced myself to release hold of her entirely as both our cheeks burned fiercely. I saw the expression in her eyes, and I felt her hind legs grind against my hip as a weak whimper left her muzzle, and she cleared her throat as a tense expression was written all over her muzzle. She bit her lower lip as she forced herself to sit up tall and still, and she spoke shakily, “S-Sister! We didn’t expect thee!” She let out a nervous laugh, before she asked, “D-Did you wish to discuss something?”

I didn’t bother looking back at Princess Celestia as I felt her gaze boring at me, but when she cleared her throat, I heard her say, “Not anymore sister... I see you and Theo are busy with... recreational activities.” The sound of Princess Celestia turning around was easily heard, but then the sound of glassware clinking came from behind me, and Princess Celestia added, “I will leave the tea... in case you two are thirsty afterwards...” After I heard the glorious and ever intelligent Princess Celestia say that, I felt my throat constricting as Luna jolted... unfortunately, I felt it only because her flank was pressed against my crotch.

The door clicked closed as Luna bit her lower lip, yet we both remained still for a few extra moments. Her wings still looked stiff, yet I would fully understand if she didn’t want to continue again, let alone go further than we had.

Luna let out a heavy breath as she picked her gloriously soft and hot flank off my crotch, and as she stood above me, I saw the disappointment in her eyes as she said, “I think that I should evaluate you some more at a later time.”

When she moved over, she let herself drop and she was laying on the cushion with me... just her back was to me as she scooted closer. I let out a sigh as rolled to my side and held her close, yet when I leaned in closer to her, I felt a smirk cross my lips as I arched my neck as much as I could. When I was positioned behind her ear, I felt a light chuckle leave my throat as I said, “I agree... but I can’t help but take one last taste...”

She shifted a bit as she turned her head, “What do you mean Theo?”

Without bothering to give her an answer, I leaned closer and licked the back of her ear slowly, and gave her a gentle nibble that caused her to gasp as she leaned into the feeling of my lips around her ear. Sliding my hands under and over her barrel, I rubbed sensually at her stomach and relished in the extremely soft fur I felt.

Her body shuddered from the stimulation, yet I stopped just as suddenly to pull her closer to my body in an embrace. When I set my head on her neck, I was able to hear the sound of her breathing shallowly as her pulse sounded quick. Feeling a smirk stretching across my lips, I lifted my head as I looked down at Luna as she said softly, “D-Don’t do that again... unless you want me to send you away.”

I felt my smile widen, and I kissed her neck as I said confidently, “You wouldn’t do that... you enjoy it too much...” Yet despite her warning, and to accent my point, I took my cheek from her neck and brought my lips down on the side of her ear. I heard her breath leave her quicker this time, and she leaned into the kiss that soon turned into a gentle nibble. Her groan was all I needed to know that she enjoyed what I had just done, but her hooves reached down and held my hands against her stomach.

“S-Stop this Theo...”

While I wanted nothing more than to continue as I felt emboldened by our recent romantics, I knew deep down better than to do what I wanted. So with a bit of reluctance, I leaned back and happily shared my warmth with her, and enjoyed the closeness I was getting to share with the one I liked the most out of two worlds. From how I saw it... this was the best thing to happen to me in my whole life... even if it wasn’t on my world...

After the night Luna and I had shared our passion for one another to the other, I had never felt more alive...more invigorated. For the first year I had lived in Equestria, it had been posh and easy, but I had felt miserable. Yet a few months after Luna had arrived, and I was feeling happier than I had in my entire stay in Equestria. That wasn’t to say I hadn’t improved Luna’s life as well. She had ceased to mope in her tower, and she was now walking the castle and conversing with guards, maids, or ponies that walked the halls alike.

Yet then there was her romantical life as well... our romantical life. I had few Girlfriends on Earth, only one had been considerate enough to dump me before dating another man. None of them even held a fraction of worthiness compared to what I felt for Luna... a mare... different species... and a princess. Luna was loving, sweet, playful, intelligent, beautiful... and she was mine. I was hers, and I would always be, and every time I shared a kiss with my beautiful blue marefriend, I felt the passion or saw it in her eyes...

I loved her; I just had yet to say it to her.

Yet while the weeks slowly passed by, I had continued to grow more and more attached to the beautiful princess of the night. She in turn grew bolder; and even though I wasn’t complaining, a few weeks ago had been the first time she had not only entered the bathing room I was in... but also entered the bath as well. She hadn’t done anything other than talk with me... as she cuddled along my side. Yet then a week after that she had snuck into my bath without my knowledge, and then proceeded to scare the living shit out of me.

While that bath had been a frightening experience as the sudden feeling of being held against the bath wall had been much more than worrisome, I had gotten to enjoy the feel of her lips pressed against my own... her wet yet silky fur against my skin... and her hips grinding against my own. My hands had managed to find their way to her luscious flank, yet as I had grabbed and squeezed my hands over the crescent moons that compromised her Cutie Mark, she had teasingly pulled away and whispered a promise about that action being soon, but not yet...

Yet she had grown increasingly playful whenever we were alone, and the frequent nuzzles, kisses, and even more frequent nibbles on my ear or neck sent me into an aroused state each and every time. Her touch made my heart race, and the feeling of her muzzle pressing against my cheek was tantalizing. She seemed to tease me to entice me even more, yet last week had been when I had made my stand. Last week I had made her feel everything she made me feel.

I was gentle, careful, yet calculated and precise. I kissed her passionately as I had traced her cutie mark with my finger and thumb. I had bit her lip, the top of her ears, her neck, and even the base of her wing. My assault hadn’t ended there, as I had managed to guide one of my hands between her hind legs. Her gasps and shudders hadn’t been from me reaching for the spot I had yet to reach, but they were from my strokes along her inner thighs; slow and teasing. Her back had arched until her body was pressing against my own, and I had felt her hind legs rubbing together as she tried to get my hand to pleasure her even more. This had been the boldest I had ever been, yet her moans and whimpers had said just how much she had been enjoying herself...

That week had been interesting, but today I had received a note from her... and it had nearly stopped my heart. I don’t know how, but Luna had gotten ahold of a camera, and she had sent me a picture of herself that had been very... thought provoking to say the least. I wasn’t one to rush through the halls of Canterlot Castle... but I wasn’t sure if walking was going to be possible either...

Stepping in through the large double doors that led to the princess of the night, I found myself licking my dry lips as I walked into the room and towards Luna’s bed, where the picture had displayed her lying. Yet all I saw were the messy unmade sheets and the camera lying atop her pillow, yet no pretty blue Alicorn or teasing eyes. “Luna...?”

As I closed the door behind me, I heard no sound that would hint to where my lovely princess could be hiding. The balcony leading to her room was open, and through the billowing curtains I saw no sight of her out there, and a quick glance around the room revealed she couldn’t have been inside the room either. Yet I felt like I was being watched... stalked if I knew Luna well enough, yet I couldn’t see her anywhere in the room...

While I couldn’t see her, I knew she had to be nearby as the feeling of being stalked hadn’t diminished even the slightest. Turning around one last time, I saw neither fur nor feather of her, so I turned once more and made my way towards her bed. I felt a chuckle leave my throat as I shook my head, but I didn’t hear a giggle or even snicker in reply; only silence.

Feeling a grin plaster itself across my lips as I looked down at the sheets on the bed, I saw how they appeared messy in the fashion of someone... or somepony dragging themselves out of the bed. Yet when I looked towards the camera, I saw a picture sticking out from under the old thing.

Leaning over her bed and placing one on the bed for stability, I reached out and grabbed the tip of the picture and stood back up. Looking at the picture, I saw it was appeared to be of her door, and if the angle suggested anything, it was taken from her bed. Flipping the picture over, I saw a message scrawled across it in fancy script, and as I looked it over, I read it out loud, “A reward is given, to those who seek...”

Just as I finished reading, I felt warm breath along the nape of my neck, and I felt a chuckle leave my lips. As I chuckled though, I turned around and was met with... well, nothing. The feeling of warm breath disappeared, and I was left looking towards her doorway, but not a soul in sight. My brows creased as I wasn’t sure what just happened...

Lifting a hand hesitantly, I reached forward experimentally... and found my hand pressing against something that wasn’t there... something that wasn’t visible. I ran my hand over the invisible surface, and I felt warmth coming from it... along with something soft... like fur. Sliding my fingers carefully up the surface, I felt it slanting towards me, and when I reached a subtle curve, I heard a giggle.

Withdrawing my hand quickly, I heard a giggle sound again, and I could only swallow thickly as I asked timidly, “Luna...?”

I didn’t get a response immediately, but when I did, it was in the form of a something pushing me back and onto the bed. Before I had a chance to recover, I felt the bed shifting in a way that suggested whoever it was that was invisible; they were walking onto the bed above me.

Yet then I heard the voice of a goddess, and I felt relief flood my system, “How inquisitive my dear Theo...” Shadows seemed to form above me, and the first thing to leave those shadows was the muzzle of my princess. Her eyes seemed to shine brightly as she lowered her body to my own, yet while her smile was tantalizing, the kiss she initiated was even more so.

She pulled away slowly, yet when her eyes were looking into my own, I saw a spark in them that I knew all too well. Her muzzle pulled away enough to show the smile she had across her muzzle was more of a smirk, yet I looked into her eyes when as she spoke softly, “Tis been too long a time Theo... you shall be my mate... my first in over a thousand years.” I felt my face warm up at her proclamation, yet I felt extremely giddy as well. Before I could dwell however, I heard and saw Luna’s wings snap wide open, and she giggled as she asked, “Now, will you kindly touch me with those fingers of yours...?”

My smile widened, and as I set my hands on her forelegs, I asked, “Where should I start?”

Her eyes closed halfway as she leaned closer to me, yet when I felt her muzzle slide against my cheek, she laid her entire body down atop of my own. I only had to adjust my hands as her forehooves slid up beside my head, but she didn’t mind as my hands were now pressing against her sides. She hummed happily as she whispered softly into my ear, “Everywhere...”

Her muzzle pulled away from my ear, but I felt her instead slide it downwards until it was pressing against my neck. I laid there as I tried to find any hidden meaning in what she said, but when I glanced down so I could look into her eyes, I found they were closed. Yet as I ran a hand up from her shoulder, then up her neck, I felt her shudder lightly.

When I reached the back of her head, I smiled as I brought my hand up and firmly gripped her ear. I felt the breath leave her muzzle in a quick gasp, and I teasingly rubbed and twisted the tip of her ear, while also bringing my other hand to her wing and scratching at the base of it softly enough that I felt another shiver rack her body.

Yet then I felt a shiver run through my body as her tongue left her muzzle, and not only pressed against my neck, but slid across the skin up to my jaw. While initially my neck felt wet, I felt a hot sensation spreading away from the area she had licked. I felt a chuckle leave my throat as she repeated the process, but when she reached my jaw, she kissed me softly. She didn’t feel the hurry to pull away, but I did feel a hurry to become more intimate with my princess.

Bringing both my hands to her withers, I pushed her away to her surprise, and it was apparent as she pulled her muzzle away from my jaw, and I saw it in her eyes as well. Yet she held herself up in a sitting position, with her flank ever delightfully pressed against my crotch. As I sat up, I wrapped one hand around her back, mindful of her stiff and extended wings, yet I lowered my other hand down to her flank, where I gave the firm yet pliable fur a healthy squeeze. She was blushing madly after I did that, but I grabbed her flank firmly again as I wrapped my other arm tightly around her back.

She gave me a curious gaze, and as I stood up with her, she asked, “T-Theo... what are you doing?”

I felt my smile widen some more as I turned around, and I set Luna down on her back before I stood back up. “I'm going to make this more enjoyable for the both of us my lovely Luna...”

Her blush intensified when I reached up and took my shirt off in a swift move, but I knew she was enjoying the view. Unlike a stallion, every muscle I had showcased through my skin, and I had made an effort to be as fit as possible as Luna tended to enjoy the eye candy I provided for her. Yet as I thought about it, I couldn’t help but chuckle as I remembered an instance where she had taken all my shirts from my room. She had left a note, obviously, and so I had to walk the entire castle shirtless to get them back... something she, and every mare I had passed, had enjoyed.

Tossing the shirt to the side, I was about to lean over her, but she stopped me as she raised her hoof and asked, “Theo... I know of a spell that will revitalize us after we... finish... would you mind if use it on us...?”

When she finished, she was blushing madly as she was looking away, and I felt a shit-eating grin replace the one from before, and while I leaned over my princess, she wouldn’t look up into my face. Using one hand to hold me up, I used the other to gently grab the lower end of her muzzle, and when I turned it so it was facing my own; she still refused to meet my gaze. My smirk dropped a bit, but I knew something that would always undoubtedly gain her attention.

Lowering myself until out lips touched, I forced my tongue into her muzzle as I closed my eyes, and when I felt Luna’s hooves press against my bare chest, she moaned softly as her tongue pressed firmly against my own. Letting her muzzle go, I used the free hand to rub the side of her face slowly and tenderly. Her soft fur tickling my palm as I did my best to ease her worries, and when she began to deepen the kiss, I broke away with a light gasp.

When I opened my eyes, hers were still closed, but I heard her breathing heavily. Smiling, I pulled further away as I said, “I would be delighted if we used that spell Luna... it means I get to share the most passionate night with my special somepony...” Her eyes snapped open in surprise, but I saw her melt into her bed as she gazed lovingly up at me, and I knew that tonight was going to be the best out of both our lives.

When her horn began to glow brightly, I felt an icy chill gallop through my body, and Luna must’ve felt it too as she shivered violently, but her horn didn’t dim as I heard a popping sound around the room. I looked around, but noticed nothing different. “Just a soundproofing spell, my Theo... now nopony will hear us.”

Shifting my attention back to Luna’s magnificent blue eyes, I saw she was looking shy as she asked, “Now... shall we get you out of those... confining clothing...?”

Her eyes twinkled in the moonlight as I chuckled, and I pulled myself off the bed and began to undo the button keeping my pants on. When they slid down to my ankles, I reached up and did the same with my underwear... and when my member stood erect, I looked over and saw Luna looking more aroused than ever. Yet when she caught me looking, her wings quivered against her bed as she gave me a sly grin, and she rolled over onto her stomach and presented her flank to me. Her hind hooves slid off her bed and onto the ground, and as she spread her legs some more, she lifted her tail to the side and revealed her pussy to me...

I felt my heart jump into my throat as I kicked my clothing away from my feet. I didn’t need to worry about socks or shoes as I had left them in my room in my haste to get here. Yet when I approached the bedside, I saw Luna’s wings start to fan the beds sheets, but her smile didn’t waver as she began to bite her lower lip.

Yet as I placed my hands on her hips, she tensed up in preparation for my entrance, but I felt a sudden desire make itself made clear, and I felt my smile drop as my desire was something I truly wanted to experience, along with knowing Luna would enjoy as well. Looking away from Luna and down to her flank, I saw her succulent ass waiting for my member to pound into it, but as I rubbed my thumbs over the backs of her ass cheeks, I saw her pussy glistening with her juices. My throat tightened, and as I dropped to my knees, I knew this would be a surprise to her as she had closed her eyes in preparation for my member to enter her... not anything else. Looking at her pussy up close, I used my thumbs to rub along its outer edges, and as my thumbs passed by, I heard Luna gasp, and I held my thumbs there as I looked at her personal region hungrily.

Leaning forward, I stopped an inch from her pussy and inhaled deeply, relishing in her unique scent... feeling my heart flutter as she asked uncertainty, “Theo, what are you do-OOOH!”

Just as she was about to finish her question, I closed my eyes as I dove in, driving my tongue as deep as I could into her. I felt her initially lurch away from the sensation, but I followed her as I licked all along her pussy’s entrance, and just inside and at the soft, hot skin inside. Her moans wracked my mind with a lustful desire to hear more, and as I let go of her flanks, I grabbed her midsection near her hips and tried in vain to pull her closer. My member throbbed painfully as I sucked at her pussy, and her juices spilled over my tongue as I eagerly explored as much as I could of her with just my tongue. Luna cried out in pleasure as I sucked and licked her pussy with as much passion as I could, and I searched for the spots she reacted to most. That however didn’t last long as I felt a small nub with my lower lip, and I felt a devious grin quickly spread across my lips. Opening my mouth a tab bit more to encompass the nub, I gave it a firm flick that resulted in Luna’s moans cracking a bit as her body lurched, and I felt myself grin as I did that motion again, but much firmer.

Luna groaned loudly as her hind legs seemed to lose strength, but I found myself reaching a hand around to gently trace my hands from her stomach towards her clit. Before I was even close however, Luna gasped louder than her last and pressed her flank against my face as I felt my tongue get clamped between her pussy’s lips, and her juices splashed against my tongue, into my mouth, and partially over my face. Her body shook roughly, and I had to swallow to breath.

Pulling away, I looked down and saw her juices that hadn’t reached me were now splashed across her floor, but when I looked back up, I saw her pussy wink at me tantalizingly. I felt my breath leave me, and as I licked my lips, I tasted her sweet, yet strangely slightly spicy uniqueness over my tongue.

Standing up, I saw she was lying over her bed, and she looked tired, yet still excited. She was withering around on her bed as she was panting heavily, and while I watched her hooves pulling at the sheets on her bed, I heard her gasp out quietly, “Ha... ha... huzz... ah...”

Smiling wider as I grabbed her flanks again, I looked down and at her juicy and moist ass cheeks, and when I squeezed her flank firmly in my hands, I heard her whimper lightly. I felt concern at first that I hurt her, but that was soon replaced when she looked back at me with a wide smile and said, “Thy quest to pleasure me... was a success.” Her hoof slid over the sheets, and she pounded it against her bed as she said, “Again!”

My smile returned, and I grabbed my member, and I lined myself up with her pussy, and I prodded her entrance gently... only to have Luna receive a burst of energy and slam her flank against my hips. The sudden feeling of my dick being enveloped by her warmth was tremendous, and I groaned as I pulled her back against me with my hands while grinding my hips against her soft flank. She moaned loudly, but I felt a hunger for more, and I began to slide out of her with the intention of getting a taste of her again.

When just my head was in her, I dove back in and found myself sliding into her succulent soft pussy, her flank becoming the handhold for my thrust. Her ass slammed against my hips and the lower part of my stomach, and I felt my mind dull a bit as she moaned loudly. Her hips pressed up into my own to try and milk me for more pleasure, but I knew what to do now. She was tight, her nethers burning hot, and her moans added a fire to my veins.

Pulling out of her at a fair speed this time, I waited until my head nearly popped out, and then I rammed back into her. She cried out in joy with my thrust, and I pulled out and slammed back into her ass with more force than the last. I found a rhythm as I pulled out, and when I slammed in, she would moan while her ass melded into my hips. Her ears were facing forward, her wings shook with every thrust, and I felt her climax again, but I didn’t slow down for even a second. She cried out for more with every thrust, her flank jiggling with every impact against my hips, and her breathing turning into gasps of air.

Hilting myself into her, I felt myself clench up suddenly, and Luna’s pussy clamped down on my member as I forced her ass tightly against her bed, and I did my best to bury myself another inch into her juicy flank. Her fur was slick with sweat, yet as I released all my tension into her nethers, we both moaned blissfully. I felt fatigue slowly claiming my body... yet before I felt my body truly being affected by the sensation, energy surge into my system... leaving me to feel quite refreshed!

Leaning over the beautiful mare underneath me, I felt every inch of her body pressing against my own, yet the chill of sweat made its presence known. It was a brief moment of chill, as the heat of her body began to seep into my own, and my body heat began to seep into her own.

Sliding my hands across her cutie marks, I felt the gentle yet obvious curve of her flank under my hands, yet I continued further along her sides. I slid my fingers over her sides, feeling the warmth of her barrel, and then the soft fur under where her wings normally resided. As I pressed my chest against her back, I kissed the nape of her neck while wrapping my hands over the leading edges of her wings from the underside. She moaned softly as I both squeezed and pulled on her extremely stiff wings, and I kissed her neck once more before asking, “My lovely mare... would you mind lying on your back...? I would enjoy looking into your eyes while we... copulate.”

Luna giggled softly as she looked back at me, and I saw her smile as she asked breathlessly, “Is that a human thing...?”

Pushing myself up, I nodded as I slid my hands back to her flank, and as she took her time answering, I took my time kneading her flank. Her fur was the softest thing in all of Equestria, her body the most perfect on all of Equis, and her beauty unrivaled by any other living creature. Yet when I slid my member out of her, she gasped, before she looked over her shoulder at me slyly. I shrugged my shoulders as she rolled over, and when she was on her back, I saw her sly smile turn into something a bit more... seductive...

“Thy company, is required...”

Chuckling a bit as I looked her over, I found my gaze linger on her pussy once more, but I leaned forward and ran my hands over her delicate stomach. She shivered at my touch, and I looked up into her eyes and found her blushing profusely again, and that was when I felt her legs spreading open for me. Feeling a smile adorn my lips, replacing the grin I had, I looked down and quickly guided myself into her pussy, yet as I did so, she gasped quietly. Looking up into her eyes, I saw her looking back at me, and I smiled as I leaned forward and slid my hands under her.

When I pulled out of her, her eyes widened the tiniest fraction, yet when I slid back into her, I saw her eyes close as her muzzle opened in a moan. Her wings flapped lightly against the sheets of her bed, and her hooves pressed tighter against her chest while her hind legs kicked feebly into the air at my sides. Yet when I pulled out of her quicker, I slammed back into her and felt her clamp down around my dick, all while she moaned loudly. I felt my heart fluttering not from my ravaging her, not from her moans, or even the feeling of her warmth spreading across me, I felt my heart flutter from the love I saw in her eyes as she gazed at me through barely open eyes. This wasn’t the reason I had sought to become her friend, this wasn’t the moment I had long awaited for, and it wasn’t the reason I agreed to teach Luna. Yet as I continued to make love to the one I love, I knew it was much more of a reason to love my life now more than ever before...

Luna and I had made love to each other the entire night, her cries, moans, gasps, shudders, and shivers were all met with one of my own. I hadn’t asked for anything when I had come to Equestria, but she alone was everything I had wished for, even my way out. She was the one I loved and trusted above all else, yet she was also my escape and way out for the pain I knew of... the pain where I couldn’t return home. Yet this night was the night I knew I had a new home here, one I would do everything to keep.

While sex wasn’t some new concept to me, Luna and I had learned new things that entire night. While my culture, humanity, seemed to be more along the lines of pleasure and sharing the intimate moment with the others partner. The form of sex I preferred where I got to look into her eyes was one such example, and another form was the missionary position. Stallions didn’t understand the concept of letting the one they love be on top, and the feeling of being ridden by a mare was as much of a new experience to me as it was to her. She had been exhilarated when she had been above me, and although it was tougher for her to move as quickly, she had discovered I could reach much deeper into her with her motions from above. And just how I had started by licking, and then sucking on the lips of her pussy, before I had delved deeper, I too had enjoyed that very enjoyable sensation as she had, albeit hesitantly, sucked my cock with as much enthusiasm as I had to her pussy. Yet she hadn’t stopped until she had swallowed every last drop of my cum. She had seemed eager to perform that act again, yet she had wanted to explore more versions of copulation, yet with her culture.

Yet from her culture, I learned she had been waiting for me to not only rutt her roughly, yet she had been surprised when I hadn’t tried to perform anal sex with her... something she had to ask of me when we were recuperating from a bout of back to back orgasms that the spell had taken time to rejuvenate us from. Yet there was also her form of rutting that had only been possible of with her spell... an endless rutting that had resulted in Luna becoming nothing more than a drooling mare as she gasped for breath, her wings doing little more than aching as I continued to power her arousal.

By the end of the night however, by the time her spell was exhausted nearly ten hours later, I had finally admitted my love to her, and her to me. Yet in the final moments that we were awake, I had learned she had wanted to ask me for a rut closer to when we had first met. It probably had been better that she hadn’t, as we had become much more since that time, and when we had been drawing our last breaths before sleep, I had remembered fondly the feeling of my arms wrapping around her back and pulling her closer. The last thing I saw before I fell asleep was my lovely Luna’s muzzle as she slept quietly, every so often her wing twitched from around my back...

...x...Celestia...x...

As I rushed up the stairs, I felt something was wrong as I rushed up the stairs to my sisters’ room. I had to lower the moon myself this morning, and I feared for my sisters’ safety. Yet when I reached the top of the staircase, I felt that worry increase tenfold as I detected residual magic seeping through her doors.

Pushing the door open as I charged my horn with magic, I called out loudly so I could locate my sister quickly, “Lulu, where are you!?”

Yet as I looked around the room, I saw everything I needed to know as my sunlight streamed into the room... and I smelled the effects as well. The scent caused me to recoil, and as I raised a hoof over my muzzle, I took in everything in the room in a matter of seconds. Discarded clothing, open balcony, Theo and Luna holding each other in her bed, and the sight of her matted fur. As I saw them lying in the bed together, I looked back at the clothes on the ground, and then back at them. Luna was cuddled against the only human in Equestria, and as I noticed his lack of clothing, along with the scent of musk in the air, I connected the dots...

And felt myself blush...

There was a light snort from the bed, and I saw Lulu’s eyes gazing over in my direction. I felt myself freeze, but her eyes closed again soon afterwards as she let out a tired sigh. My cheeks felt even hotter after that, and I quickly backed out of the room as I shut the door with my magic, but I didn’t lower my hoof as I gazed at the closed door. I knew what happened, yet the feeling of astonishment wouldn’t leave me...

Lowering my hoof, I shook my head, and I knew I needed to do something to get my mind off of what I was a witness to...

...x...Theo...x...

Pulling the mare in my arms closed as I buried my head in her mane, I felt her neither move or make a sound from my movement. Her fur felt so soft against my skin, her mane felt smoother than anything else; despite its ethereal appearance it was quite solid. Yet as I desperately wanted nothing more than to fall back asleep, I knew it was impossible as the sunlight streaming into the room would prevent me from accomplishing such a task.

Yet when I planted a gentle kiss on the back of her neck, that was when Luna let out a gentle snore as she shifted herself around until she was facing me. Her muzzle found and buried itself against my neck while her wings twitched very faintly at her sides...

While I held her in my arms however, I felt her hooves slowly reaching and sliding around my back, yet then she did something I hadn’t been expecting; she spoke. “Did you sleep... well?” Her yawn sounded exhausted, yet her voice sounded almost hoarse while she snuggled closer to my body.

I felt like grinning, yet honestly I couldn’t with how tired I felt, so I settled for a gentle nuzzle to the top of her head with my chin as I said, “I did, thank you... best sleep I ever had, and after the best night ever...”

My throat felt soar when I chuckled, but I couldn’t dwell on it for long before I heard Luna’s light giggle, and she tightened her grip around me as she seemed to sigh afterwards. My gaze was drawn to her ear when it twitched, yet she remained quiet as I felt her hind legs shifting against my thigh. I felt her slowly pull away from my chest as she inhaled deeply, and I saw her blink a few times as she began to blush. When she looked up, she gazed deeply into my eyes and said, “It would seem the scent of our activities the previous night have lingered... I believe I shall have to inquire for the services of a few maids.”

This time I found the strength to smile, and as I did, I took in a deep breath, and then I was able to share the sentiment of knowing what she meant by the scent we left. As I did though, I felt a bit... icky, and as I started to look down, I noticed the way her fur appeared matted and messy. Looking down at myself, I saw that I didn’t look any better than she did, as there were spots along my skin that looked like they had a sheen, and I knew why, yet there were also spots where I had what appears to be dark blue fur. The smile I had shifted to a grin as I said, “Maybe a bath would help us as well. Can’t have my lovely mare looking so... messy.”

She looked down as well, and I saw her blinking a bit as she began to blush a bit brighter than before, and then she asked, “Is that... my fur?”

I felt another slightly painful chuckle leave my throat as I nodded, “I believe it is... by the way, do you shed?” She looked up at me with wide eyes, and I chuckled as I leaned in and nuzzled her cheek while saying warmly, “Just kidding my lovely Luna...”

Her blush did lessen, but she seemed to smile sheepishly from what I could see from beside her cheek as she asked, “Should... eh-hem... should we go take that bath now?”

Giving her a mock gasp, I pulled back as I made to act with surprise, “Princess Luna... asking to take a bath with me? I'm surprised!” Bringing a hand away from her back, I brought it in front of me and gently bopped the end of her muzzle as I said, “Usually you just hop right in before announcing yourself...”

Her eyes narrowed, yet I saw the grin across her muzzle as she reached a hoof up and gently ran it down the front of my chest sensually while she said hotly, “I can’t recall ever hearing thy complaints...”

It was that endearing trait that made me feel for her the way I did, yet as I looked into her playful eyes, I felt that loving feeling inflate my heart. Leaning forward until my nose was rubbing against her own, I felt the urge to lean in to kiss her, but I held back as I knew exactly where her lips had been, along with knowing where mine had been. She seemed to know why I wasn’t kissing her as well as she didn’t lean forward to make contact with my lips. After looking into her eyes for a few more moments, I let out a quiet chuckle as I said softly, “Because I never did have any real complaints... now, let’s go take that bath...”

Author's Note

Now, as an endnote, I don’t write most of what happened from this chapter from experience, rather I had some help from a few skype friends, XxSanitariumxX (a talented writer from the site I originally wrote for), and another that will remain unnamed. These last two helped me indirectly however, as I simply acted as a Beta-reader and editor for a story for those two. I hope you all enjoyed this story... it was a constant work in progress for nearly a year, with the last 6 months where it sat in my files, in debate for when and where to post it.
