A Shadow in the Dark
Is there room for me?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSunshine shone through the blinds, giving the room a stripped glow. Twilight stirred slightly, turning onto her side facing the wall to try and stop the sunlight shining on her eyelids but with no anvil. Finally giving up, Twilight opened her eyes slowly,groaning while she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. She reached out a hand to gather her barings only to feel an empty bed. Frowning, she looked around the room for Sunset but didn't see her.
"Sunset?" Twilight called out,biting her lips as she waited for a responce.
"Kitchen!" Sunset yelled back. Twilight breathed a sigh of relief. She knew Sunset wouldn't just leave her! It was her house after all. She mentally slapped herself for forgetting that key fact before slipping out of bed and grabbing her glasses. Yawning and rubbing the back of her neck she walked out of Sunset's bedroom and into the kitchen.
Twilight went to speak but her mouth instantly snapped shut when she saw Sunset. The firey haired guitarist was wearing grey, baggy lounging pants that came down to her feet and a red and black flannel top that hung open, all that was underneth was a black bra. Her hair was slightly frizzy but the sight still made Twilight blushed deeply.
Sunset finished sipping her coffee and looked up to see Twilight standing in doorway. She smiled and put her coffee cup down,walking over to the shorter girl.
"Hey,beautiful,"
"I-I...I uh..we..." Twilight was lost for words, her lips constantly moving as if she was going to say something but nothing came out. Sunset could only chuckle and wrap her arms around the book worm, envoloping her in a hug.
"You alright there,Twi?" She asked. Twilight stiffened for a moment but was quick to relax and slip her arms around Sunset, burying her face in the taller girls chest.
"I am now.."
"Cause you're here with me or cause your head is between my tits?"
"Don't make me motorboat you."
"Don't threaten me with a good time," Sunset shot back only to earn a snort from Twilight, who lifted her head to look up at Sunset.
"You're so weird,"
"You make it sound like a bad thing," Sunset smiled,kissing Twilights head before walking over to the oven "Are pancakes okay for breakfast?"
Twilight fiddled with the sleeves of the hoodie she was wearing, chewing on her lip "Yeah...yeah thats fine...hey Sunset?"
"Yes?"
"Is...is there still going to be room for me in your life? You know with school and your job and with us being...you know..."
"Girlfriends?" Sunset answered for her,glancing over her shoulder at Twilight.
"O-only if thats what you want! I mean it doesn't have to be straight away, we can always wait for a while or we can-"
"Yes thats what I want. Is that you want?" Sunset interrupted, focusing on mixing the pancake batter as she waited for Twilights answer.
"I don't think I've ever wanted anything more in my life. Well maybe when I was 9 and wanted this massive encyclopedia on science and technology,"
"Dork," Sunset laughed lightly before shooting Twilight a bright smile "But if thats what you want then we are girlfriends from now on. And yes there will still be room for you because I will make room for you,"
Sunset poured the batter into the pan and turned around to face Twilight "ready?"
Twilight raised an eyebrow but watched as Sunset positioned the pan and threw the pancake into the air then caught it with the pan. Twilight couldn't help but giggle at how proud Sunset looked about her achivement. "And you call me a nerd,"
"Hey! I will have you know trying to catch a pancake with a pan takes precise aim and skill!"
"You're an assassin. Aren't those two things essential?" Twilight commented, crossing her arms with an amused smile gracing her lips. Sunset just shot her a flat look and waved her hand dissmissingly.
"Details." Sunset replied and went back to focusing on breakfast "It shouldn't take too long, go get comfy on the sofa,"
Twilight silently went on her way, picking up the tv remote from the coffee table before slumping on the sofa. Finally settling on a channel, Twilight glanced over to the CD rack by the arm of the sofa and leant over to take a look at what Sunset had. There were alot of metal albums but that didn't suprise Twilight as that seemed like Sunset's get up but what did suprise her was the amount of swing and electro swing albums Sunset owned.
As she took one out, Sunset came in with two plates stacked high with pancakes. Sunset moved her head slightly to see what Twilight was looking at while placing the two plates on the coffee table.
"Whatcha got there?"
"An album of yours from Caravan Palace. I didn't see you as the swing music type,"
"How'd you know they were swing?"
"The art style of the album kind of gives it away. What gave it away more so however is that I also listen to them," Twilight giggled,looking up at her girlfriend, who wore a wide eyed look.
"Please don't tell Rainbow, I'll never hear the end of it," Sunset begged. Twilight stood up and put the CD on the coffee table,waltzing up to her girlfriend with a wide grin.
"And what's in it for me?" Twilight asked in a low tone, biting her lip as she ran a finger up Sunset's arm. Sunset inhaled sharply and looked anywhere except at Twilight as her face began to rise in colour.
"I uh...I don't really..."
"I'm just teasing,Sunny. I swear on my life I shan't tell Rainbow," Twilight smiled sarcsticlly as she waltzed off back to the sofa, grabbing a plate of pancakes as she did so. Sunset just stood in shock before huffing and crossing her arms.
"How is it that in the past two days your confidence has skyrocketed when it comes to shit like what you just did?"
"A certain punk has been rubbing off on me and spoiler alert its not Rainbow," Twilight responded as she swallowed her mouthful,glancing over the rim of her glasses at the bacon haired girl. Sunset raised an eyebrow at her girlfriend before letting out a snort.
"Don't tell your parents that, I gotta make a good impression when you introduce me as your girlfriend"
Twilight almost choked on her food and looked at Sunset with eyes as wide a sausers.
"W-what?!"
"Kidding,Twi! I'm not gonna rush anything with you," Sunset reassured, walking into her bedroom before coming back out moments later with her glasses.
"Heh..right..I knew that," Twilight chuckled nervously, moving a piece of pancake around her plate with her fork in thought. When she finally stabbed the piece with her fork she felt Sunset sit next to her. Looking over she saw the assassin with her glasses and a crossword. She continued to stare until Sunset, who was chewing on the end of her pencil, looked up and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Can I help you?"
"You need some help with your crossword,grandma?" Twilight asked with a snarky smile, thinking she had wounded her with her 'amazing' insult. Sunset looked at her flatly for a moment before grinning mischievously.
"Ah so you're into GILF's? Good to know," Sunset spoke, reaching over for her plate of pancakes as Twilight choked on her mouthful. Twilight gave Sunset a hard stare to which she responded to with a sarcastic,toothy smile.
"God you are the absolute worse,"
"Don't you know it. And yet here we are, dating and being cute," Sunset smiled, leaning forward for a kiss only to be stopped by Twilight's finger. Sunset blinked only to raise an eyebrow and give her girlfriend a confused look. Twilight just shook her head and pushed Sunset away.
"You don't deserve kisses after that comment,"
"You're such a buzzkill," Sunset pouted.
Twilight laughed and kissed Sunset's cheek.
"You know it,"
"Stealing my lingo are we?"
"Pointing out the obvious are we?"
"Using the are, are we?" Sunset shot back with a playful smirk and narrowed eyes. Twilight playfully punched Sunset's shoulder;turning her attention to the TV, which was screening Skyfall.
"Hey look, its you," Twilight remarked, pointing at James Bond in the film killing multiple people at once and doing dangerous stunts. Sunset glanced at the TV over the rim of her glasses while chewing her mouthful of pancakes before shrugging.
"So I'm a British super spy who has multiple ladies wanting to have sex with me? Very nice," She responded, licking her lips afterwards. Twilight turned her head to look at her girlfriend and narrowed her eyes. Sunset let out a breath through her nose,whipping her head to the side to grin widely at the bookworm.
"That's vile,"
"Hey, you said it was me," Sunset said;turning her attention back to her crossword. Twilight blinked, giving herself a confused look before it hit that she had indeed said that.
"I...I retract my statement," Twilight muttered,crossing her arms over her chest in a huff. Her little sulking session only ended when Sunset lent over and kissed her cheek while wrapping a arm around her shoulders to pull her closer.
"I thought you might,babe,"
"B-babe?" Twilight stammered. Sunset just nodded with a smile.
"Yeah. I thought we should use pet names now that we are dating. Why? Don't you like it?"
"No! I mean, no I don't not like it!" Twilight defeanded quickly before continuing "I just never thought in a million years that you of all people would call me babe,"
"Oh?"
"Well I did in my head along with multiple other scenerios of us dating and cuddling and..." Twilight trailed off as she looked up at Sunset's wide eyed expression.
"...and now I realise you must think I'm a grade A freak..." Twilight finished,putting her head in her hands. Sunset let her shoulders slump as she kissed the top of Twilights head.
"Of course I don't, Sparky. Its super cute that you thought of us like that. And...I'd be a bit of a hypocrite if I agreed with your statement cause I also did the same with you,"
Twilight scoffed at that and looked at Sunset like she'd lost her mind.
"Theres not a chance you did that. No way,"
"Yes way," Sunset said softly, touching her forehead to Twilight's. Twilight looked into the assassin's eyes and saw nothing but love in them; smiling, Twilight reached a hand behind Sunset's head and pulled her towards her until their lips met.
Sunset didn't take long to respond,slipping her hands to her girlfriends waist while smiling against her lips. Twilight tangled her hands in Sunset's hair before pulling her down so she was on top, the kissing breaking.
Sunset held herself up with her arms either side of Twilight, a huge grin on her face.
"Someone's eager,"
"Shouldn't I be? I've got honestly a godess for a girlfriend,"
"Me? A godess? Never. You on the other hand-" Sunset leant down so her lips ghosted Twilight's neck "-are too beautiful for this world and the heavens above,"
Sunset planted small but lingering kisses up Twilight's neck and jawline slowly,nibbling here and there which caused the book worm to let out a moan as a small smile graced her lips.
"Mm...Sunset," Twilight purred as she gripped Sunset's hair, Sunset beginning to move down to her collarbone. She bit and sucked, leaving multiple hickeys and moved her hands down her girlfriends sides. She tugged at her hoodie and Twilight nodded in consent; about to remove her hoodie until there was a knock at the door. Sunset looked over to the door and gave it a very bored look.
"Are you genuinely fucking with me?"
"C'mon, Sunny. Go answer it,"
"But I don't wanna. Maybe they'll leave if we wait long enough," Sunset said hopefully but her dreams were shot down when she heard knocking again. She sighed and stood up. Twilight giggled and kissed her girlfriends cheek.
"Don't worry, we can finish what we started later," Twilight spoke before standing on her tip toes to whisper in Sunset's ear "I promise~"
Sunset bit her lip hard as she watch Twilight strut to the door, a sexy growl emerging from her throat as she followed. Twilight stood behind Sunset slightly as the taller girl opened the door to reveal an ominus looking man, at least to Twilight. But Sunset knew exactly who it was and her eyes became saucers.
"Governor?!"
