Dating can be Hard
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAuthor's Note
Well then, I actually got a request for another chapter of this, so here we go.
Just a quick note: I'll probably be jumping between P.O.V's a bit more than in my other stories, as this story will need the depth change of Two perspectives.
Okay! Let me know if you few who like this one like the new chapter!
Dating can be Hard
---Third Person---
Nero stood on top of Luna's hoof, as she proceeded to walk around the park. Her steps were a bit off, as she was only using Three legs.
You can put me on your muzzle if you like. Make it easier on yourself to walk.
Nero's written word were projected to Luna's mind, as she glanced at the small human sitting in her fur. A smile tugged at her lips, as she brought her hoof up to her eyes.
"You want to ride on my face? Aren't you being a bit forward?" She asked with a small chuckle. She waited for a few seconds.
Well, I just want you to be comfortable. Sorry for being worried about how other ponies would react to seeing you on Three legs.
She could almost feel the sarcasm in Nero's words. But before she could counter, she realized he was right. She looked around and noted a few ponies around her with worried looks on their faces. She blushed lightly, as she turned her gaze back to her date.
"Hurry up." She whispered softly, as she moved her hoof upwards to her muzzle. After tilting her hoof a bit, she brought it back, and noted the lack of a speck on her hoof. She turned her gaze to her muzzle, yet couldn't see him. It was then when she got another message from him.
A little softer next time please? You just dropped me the equivalent of a Three story drop. If it wasn't for your fur, I'd probably be hurt.
Nero's words shocked her. She had only let her hoof stay about Two inches away from her fur. She would have to watch that in the future. He was small, and everything is different when your small.
"Sorry, I'll have to get used to you being around. I wasn't exactly expecting you to be a human." She said, while walking into a diner.
Yeah, well.. I wasn't exactly thinking a giant pony was the one who was responding to my, apparently, magic pen.
"Indeed." Luna nodded gently, "I wasn't expecting my creation to go to a human. I made it with one goal. It was to find somepony for me to talk to." She stopped in front of a Pegasus mare. "Table for One please." Luna spoke out with authority. The mare in front of her almost dropped the couple menus she was carrying. As she quickly led Luna to a table.
"H-here you are your Majesty." The mare said quietly, as she pushed Luna a menu. Luna sat down at the table, and sighed as she got comfy.
So, your the Princess Luna huh?
Nero's words called out in her head, and she winced, her ears sliding backwards. She gently placed her hoof next to her muzzle. Before she could say anything, she watched the small human start to make way for her hoof.
I feel like I should be freaking out a bit, but I think I've freaked out enough for today.
Luna waited a little bit, until she was sure that Nero was safe on her hoof, until she moved her hoof to the table.
-----First Person: Nero-----
I stood on the Blue hoof of Luna, shaking slightly as she moved it down to the table sitting in front of her. She seemed to be more careful with how long she waited before moving. I stepped from her hoof, and made sure to take an extra couple steps away so she would spot me. As she moved her hoof, I grumbled out my writings.
"I just thought of something. If we had just introduced ourselves properly, then we would have figured this out ages ago." I wrote, as I looked up at the pony goddess before me. She may be a pony, but god damn it, at this size she was something else. As you figured, things the size of us humans have our perception altered. It makes it as though small actions are slightly longer than you would think. I watched her long eyelashes blink in what I saw as a slight slow motion. Her eyes focused downwards, directly at me. She seemed to think about something, before she gently giggled, hoof held up to her mouth to stop her from laughing too hard. She calmed down, and leaned over slightly.
"You are correct. But as you said once, 'what's done is done'. We cannot change the past, but we can enjoy the future." She smiled. Her voice, although loud, was still incredibly soft. I found myself smiling up at a pony for the first time since I got here.
"Well then, lets enjoy shall we? You order, and I'll grab what I can handle from your plate." I wrote out. I watched her nod before flagging down a waiter.
"Yes, Princess. What can I get for you today?" The Green Earth pony mare stepped up to take her order. I flinched, I really wasn't used to being in the open. I was careful, even though I knew Luna wouldn't do anything to hurt me, It said nothing for the mare taking her order.
"I would like to get a small stack of Pancakes, and a glass of milk." I could almost see the drool coming from Luna's mouth, she must love Pancakes. I chuckled lightly, and went to write out something about it, until my paper flew from my hand. I chased after it until it flipped into the air, higher than I could reach. I was about to scream out, until I was surrounded in shadow. My natural instincts took over, and I ran as fast as I could to the edge of the shadow. Diving off my feet, I landed just shy of it, I rolled quickly. A loud slamming noise was heard behind me, nearly deafening me. I even slid forward due to the sheer force behind it.
Ugh, stupid bugs.. I heard the mare overhead mumble, as she lifted her order booklet back into the air, readying for another strike. She was stopped however, by a Dark Blue hoof grabbing her own.
"That 'bug'" Luna started, looking back down at me, gently placing a hoof near me. "Is a human. And my date" She smiled at me.
God Damnit all.. If it wasn't for the fact that we already knew each other, I'm positive I would have fun away by now. I'm in far too much danger for my liking. I looked over, and noted the mare looking at Luna with.. Oh that's funny. She thinks she's crazy! Her eyes dropped to me, and she was biting her bottom lip.
I looked around for my paper to write on, and sighed a bit. It was gone, and I only had one with me today. I shrugged, and ripped off a sleeve from my shirt, leaving my arm bare. I brought my arm up, and began scratching out my response. I winced, as the sharp pen dug in a bit here and there, but nothing to bad.
"She clearly doesn't believe you, so how about we change that?" I asked her. I watched the ink fade away as it did on the paper, and I sighed in relief. I didn't want to lick that stuff off every time. I looked over to Luna and saw that she had a thoughtful look on her face. I now believe that that's the face she makes when she gets my messages. She looked down at me, and moved her hoof to side of the table, relatively far away.
"Good idea, climb onto my hoof." Luna's voice was back to its soft tone, as she waited for me to move..
God Damnit Luna, do you know how big this table is?
..Gonna be thirsty after all this.
-----Third Person-----
Luna looked down at the small speck that was Nero, and waited for him to start moving to the edge of the table where she held her hoof.
"Excuse me, Princess. But it's just as human. They aren't smart enough to-" She was interrupted by Luna's smile. She turned her attention to the table and her mouth went slack. She watched the human make a bee-line for Luna's hoof. "-By Celestia's sun.." She muttered. Luna's eyebrow rose at the comment, but she said nothing. She watched Nero walk onto her hoof, and she gently elevated it to her face. She smiled and whispered as softly as possible.
"That's one pony down." Her soft breath washed over him.
Ha, yeah. Lets hope I don't have to almost die for every One of them. I don't think I can handle too much more.
Nero's writing came to her once again. She could tell that he was being funny, but it struck her a different way. She looked to the mare, who was still staring in disbelief. She had an idea, as she gently placed Nero back on the table, this time much closer to her. She wrapped her leg around him, so nothing else would happen to her date.
"So as you can see, humans are quite intelligent. The only problem they have is being so small. So if you don't mind, could you do me.. No, could you do Nero here a favor? Can you please start spreading what you now know to other ponies?" Luna asked the mare. Said mare jumped, zoning back into the conversation.
"Oh, yes! I'll tell Everypony I can!" She looked at the ground, as she turned around. Probably making sure she wouldn't step on any more humans. She stopped, and turned back around suddenly. She leaned over the table and into Luna's personal space, as she peered down behind her leg that rested on the table.
"I'm so sorry little one, I hope you forgive me." She said, her ears drooping down, and her eyes getting big.
Holy crap, get it away before I die of diabetes!
Luna looked down at Nero, eyes wide with wonder, before she barked out a laugh. She gently used her other hoof to push the mare away.
"He kindly asked you to go away, before you gave him diabetes." She stifled another laugh, as she watched the mare look confused. Her confusion turned to a smile, as she looked back down to the human, and winked. She turned around and began carefully trotting back to the kitchen. She stopped at almost every table and worker she came across to give a brief explanation. Each one looked over to Luna, watching her talk downwards to the table.
"So, how is it that you think the giant creatures that almost kill you on a daily basis.. Are cute?" Luna asked Nero, after making sure nopony was close enough to catch the conversation.
Me? Well yeah, almost dying is always a scare.. But you get used to it, and after a while, when you live alone like I do, you find hobbies.
Luna's eyes widened, and then she put on a cheeky smile.
"Now I understand what you meant. Your hobby of 'Pony Watching' now makes much more sense, and doesn't make you sound like a creepy stalker." She said. She eyes the human closely, before speaking again. "However, that doesn't quite explain my question."
Right, right. After watching ponies for so long, I began to actually see the difference between male and female.. Aside from the obvious. Mares have a more slender build, and even walk around more daintily than Stallions. Long story short.. I guess after living alone for almost a year, I've become.. Attracted?
Nero's word finished with a confused feel. Almost like he wasn't sure about his own words. Luna's eyes widened once more, before a sly grin appeared on her face. She slid down the chair a bit, moving her hoof with her other one and propped her head over him as she looked down at him
"So you find me attractive then?" She asked, in a silky voice. The silence was only drowned out by the small conversations around the Two. The silence was starting to bother Luna, maybe she had said that too fast?
Of Course I do! Then again, I already knew I liked you from our writings.
His cockiness returned full bloom, as Luna smiled. A faint blush on her cheeks, hopefully hidden behind her fur. She thought about something, before she leaned back, her horn lighting up in a Blue glow. In the air before her, a magnifying glass appeared. She grabbed it with a hoof and leaned back over to where her human resided.
"You've been ogling me this whole time, I deserve to know what you look like." Her voice soft as silk. She looked down at him, and noted the basic human anatomy. Two legs, Two arms, a head with a small tuft of hair for a mane. Something caught her eye more than anything.
"Oh, you even wear clothes?! That's absolutely adorable!" She cooed as she looked him over. Her eye drifting over his form the best she could, drinking in his appearance. When she had a nice long look, she sat back up, and let the magnifying glass sit on the table.
Yeah yeah, I made myself clothes. What's the big deal?
"Well first thing, if you little humans had been wearing clothes when we first discovered you, then none of this would have happened." She said nonchalant. She dropped her face down to his level after that, "And second? I find you very cute, the clothes definitely add a layer on to that cuteness." She winked. Just then the waitress came back and looked at the two happily.
"I talked to my manager, and she agrees that we should all watch out for humans now. I brought your food!" She said, gently sitting the plate and milk down. She also set a smaller plate down next to it. "I thought you could use a smaller plate to eat, since you did say that this was a date." She winked at Luna before trotting away. Luna looked at the Pancakes hungrily, and quickly used her magic to both separate a small piece and grab Nero. She carefully place both onto the plate, and with a second thought, she gently placed a small droplet of milk next to the piece of food.
"You be careful over there, I don't want to have to fish you out of milk of all things." She scolded the human, as she watched him slide up to the milk first. She then dived into her own food, promptly ignoring Nero's reply of being a good swimmer.
Throughout the time it took to eat, Luna had quite a few ponies work up the courage to come over and look at her 'date'.
They all left murmuring to themselves, after watching the small human go from food to drink quickly, without scurrying away like an insect. After about Ten minutes, Luna finished her plate. She looked over to her eating partner, and noted that the human wasn't on the plate, but rather sitting on the table.
Oh your done? Yeah you gave me way too much. Thanks though. You want?
Nero's instant response meant he was waiting for her. She blushed slightly, then smiled.
"Oh? Thank you." She replied, and grabbed the small plate with her hoof. She brought it up to her face, and licked the remaining contents off it. With a slight smack of her lips, she washed it down with a small sip of water that she had ordered after she finished the milk.
Hey, can I get some of that water? I fell into the syrup and I'm all sticky.
Nero's words made Luna chuckle. She reached for the water, but stopped short. A sly smile appeared on her face, as she grabbed her glass. She then proceeded to lean forward and gently lick the table where her date stood. He stuck to her tongue like a small crumb.
-----First Person: Nero------
Luna's tongue loomed over me, as her breath washed over me again. She smelled of both flowers and syrup, an odd combination, but a good one. I let her lap me up like a treat, smiling as I figured she was finally back to being the jokester that I had been writing to all this year. I waited, as her tongue went into her muzzle, followed by a small trickle of water. The water pooled around me, making a small pool for me to swim in, as she closed her mouth. I washed up rather quickly, and proceeded to stand on her tongue. I felt it with my hand a bit, feeling the bumps that made up her taste buds. I felt the ground shake, as she hummed to herself, the low noise oddly comforting.
"So does this count as a fist kiss? Or did we just skip to Second Base?" I wrote down. I waited for all of Three seconds, before her tongue lurched slightly, and she gently let her tongue out of her muzzle again. Her Blue magic, that felt like jello by the way, covered me and made me float up to her eyes. I heard her swallow the water in her mouth, as she licked her lips.
"If you thought that was a kiss, then you never had one." Her eyes lidded slightly, as her voice rolled gently over me. Suddenly I was brought down, and my eyes bugged out a bit at the sight.
She had her lips gently puckered.
Wow, I was kidding, but.. I can deal with this.
I was floated over to her lips, and she pushed them gently into my body. Her lips were soft as velvet, yet slightly wet. The sensation was amazing, especially when she started to move them gently. The subtle movements in her lips were like a full body massage. I was in heaven right now, so I barely noticed that she had moved me away, and had asked me something. It was only when she laughed lightly to herself that I snapped out of my daze.
"I assume by your silence that you enjoyed my affection?" Her laugh coupled with the flutter her eyelashes did.. Well, if I could talk I'd be stuttering. I brought my arm up to write on.
"Yeah! That was amazing. I wasn't expecting it though.." I watched as Luna stood up and left some bits on the table. As she started walking, she gently placed me on her nose. Probably so she could look at me better.
"This was a date, remember? A kiss is a sign that a mare wants to continue dating the stallion." Her words rung through my head.
She wanted more dates? She like me? Huh, I think I've seen just about everything then.
"Well, when's our next date going to be then?" I wrote out. I chuckled as I heard her gasp slightly. Her steps seemed to be a little lighter from that moment on.
"Well, first things first. I have to introduce you to my sister." I could tell she was smiling, as she made her way towards the castle.
-----Canterlot Castle-----
We, or should I say, Luna entered through the door to the throne room. Her sister was sitting there, reading a book with a cup of tea. Upon seeing her sister, Celestia stood up and walked over to her sister.
"Ah, Lulu, welcome back!" She exclaimed, smiling to Luna. I chuckled at the nickname. "Where is the young colt?" Celestia giggled as she looked around behind Luna. After a second, she seemed to stare at Luna in confusion.
"Well you see sister, it's a bit-" Luna started, but was interrupted.
"Hold on Lulu." I was confused, until I felt something slam into me.
*BAM*
I was sent flying off Luna's nose, careening to the ground.
"You had a bug on your nose." Celestia gently lifted a hoof into the air, aimed at me. I could barely focus, as the tumble to the ground had conked me on the head a bit.
"No sister!" Luna's voice shook my world. Oh, wait, it was her pushing Celestia away from me. My vision came back just in time for me to focus on the ground. I looked around, and saw Four blue hooves surrounding me. I looked up, and sighed in relief as Luna stood over me. I was a bit surprised that she knew exactly where to step. I went to write out my next statement..
My pen was gone.
Shit!
I looked around furiously. That pen was the only way I could talk to Luna! I looked around, and found it rolling right over to Luna's back leg. I ran at it, even as it bounced off her hoof, and stopped. Jeeze is this place on a hill or something?
I was only a few feet away from it, when the worst thing happened. Luna shifted. Her back leg twitched a bit, But that was enough fro the pen to slide underneath it.
*Crunch*
I heard it break apart like brittle lead..
Welp.. This whole thing just got a lot more awkward. I looked up at Luna as she scolded her sister.. Hoping she figures this out before she kills me.
