Chapters Confessions of the Love Sick
Four years... four years has Acre Sunshine been through high school. Now, it's come down to this: the end of the road and the end of a long journey finally a reality becoming in a week. Anxiety and anticipation gripped Acre, even during lunchtime when he usually sat alone. Acre sat at his usual table and ate his packed lunch:
"Smoked ham sandwich, cola, cheese crackers and... a cocoa-hazelnut muffin! Thank you, Ma." Acre muttered as he bit into his sandwich, savoring every bite of ham and bread. The lunchroom was lively with a symphony of noises and chatter that made the atmosphere feel like a movie. As Acre was taking a sip out of his drink, a familiar voice rang out that nearly made him choke on his soda.
"Hello Acre, How are you today?" Acre looked up to see that Principal Celestia was standing before him. Her beautiful face, calming demeanor, and her rainbow-colored wavy hair made Acre's heart beat at the same pace as a marathon runner. He was too choked up with nervousness to respond for a time.
"Acre?" Celestia asked in a concerned tone, worried about why one of her students seemed that nervous towards her in particular.
"Oh, oh, uhhh... sorry about that, Principal. I'm fine, how about you?" Acre hurriedly said, regaining his composure. He was still nervous at the sight of her. Her beauty was the envy of staff and made even the most mentally stoic of boys in the school gawk at her for a few moments. Her beauty and soft, caring voice is almost hypnotic.
"I'm alright." Celestia said with a slight chuckle. "Are you sure you're alright?" Celestia always showed great concern for her students when they look like they're in need or having problems. It was the reason she enjoyed being Principal, helping others when they need it and it earned her a great amount of respect from the staff.
"I'm fine. Why?" Acre asks ash he finishes his lunch.
"You seemed nervous. In fact, you always seem to be whenever I see you. Is something bothering you?"
Acre's mind starts to buzz with all sorts of thoughts relating to fear. He was afraid she was going to find out he has a crush on her... in a busy lunchroom no less. He had to play it cool with her and not spill the beans, least he incurs ridicule or worse.
"No, It's that... you're the principal. It's normal for students to feel that way towards authority." Acre explained as Celestia grinned and he got up from his seat.
"I understand. Have a good day then." Celestia says as she walks away, allowing Acre to make a quick sprint out of the cafeteria and towards the bench area. He quickly sat down and tries to calm down over nearly making a big mistake and dodging a bullet that could've got him in big trouble.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" Acre thinks as he berates himself over possibly giving his thoughts away to the principal. "I messed up, again!" Acre thinks back to that one moment that started his attraction towards his principal.
=====================3 Months Ago:=====================
It was march and prom night had arrived. Acre went, even though he didn't have any one to go with. He won tickets in a raffle and decided to go, despite going alone. He mostly hung out with his friends that were there, sat and ate dinner with them. It was a good time before the dance floor opened up. Acre sat alone at his table and watched as his friends and fellow students danced with their significant others, laughing, kissing and having a good time. Acre let out a saddened sigh as a familiar principal walks over to him.
"Why so down, my student?" Celestia says, immediately getting Acre's attention.
"It's nothing, Ms. Celestia." Acre sighs again as boredom and despair starts to grip his lonely heart. "Didn't go with a girl." Celestia, feeling sorry for Acre, sat down next to him and gave him a brief hug.
"I'm sorry you feel so sad." Celestia says as she notices a tear fall from his eye. She couldn't stand to see him like this and decides to take pity on him in one way she knows.
"You can dance with me if you want." Acre was snapped out of his lonely stupor. He had been asked by the principal to dance with her. He was shocked to say the least.
"What?! Are you sure you can do that?"
"Yes, It's all perfectly alright to do so." Celestia says with a cheerful smile. Her smile uplifts Acre from his sadness and fills him all sorts of warm feelings that made his night better. He then decides to take Celestia up on her offer and grabs her hand.
"Ok, shall we?" Acre says with a slight smile as the two walked over to the dance floor. Acre put one arm around his Principal's waist while holding one of her hands in his other. Celestia wraps her other around Acre's upper back as the song changes to a slow and romantic tune. They slow danced the night away as the students danced with their lovers. Just as Acre stares in her eyes, something in his mind ticked, something he couldn't fathom. His eyes saw into her soul and beheld a warm and loving person, the perfect woman in his eyes. His romantic emotions went crazy for her ind a torrent of love and longing. As enjoyable as the dance was, It all had to end as the students left the prom as the night drew on. As Acre slept that he couldn't help but dream about the dance he had with his lovely principal.
=======================================================
Acre smiles as he remembers that fond memory until the bell ringing broke his trance. Acre quickly walks towards Daring Do's history class where he sees his history teacher sorting papers. As he walks in, Yearling notices his approach and turns her chair to face him.
"Ah Acre, I've been expecting you." Daring says as she opens her desk and rummages through it, pulling out a slip of paper.
"What did you need, teacher?" Acre asks out of curiosity.
"Principal Celestia wants to see you in her office. Don't worry, I've excused you for this class today." As if by a drop of a hat, Acre's heart sank heavily. He fears that this could be the result of his earlier exchange with her during lunch. He stood there paralyzed, staring at the referral that was handed to him
"Holy shit!" Acre thinks to himself. "I'm so so SO SCREWED!" With a inaudible whimper, he makes his way towards Celestia's office. As he got closer and closer to her office, his heart rate starts to climb and a faster than usual rate and making him feel light headed and dizzy. After an agonizing 2 minute walk, he reached his destination and breaks a fearful sweat.
"Well... end of the line." Acre mutters as he opens the door and mentally braces himself. He sees Principal Celestia herself sitting at her desk and doing work on her computer. The door closes with a sharp noise that alerted her to Acre's presence.
"Hi Acre, please take a seat." She says with a slight smile as Acre sat down on one of the chairs against the wall. His heart is still beating rapidly as if it was trying to escape him. He starts to huff and puff in fear of the possibility that he'll get expelled that close to graduation. For now, Acre will have to hope for the best if Celestia doesn't ask him for the truth.
"Acre, you're a nice student. I never had any sort of trouble with you." Celestia started as she rolled her chair towards the student before her. "Lately, especially earlier at lunch, you seem to be nervous whenever I'm near you. I'm thinking you may have some sort of issue with me. I brought you here so we can talk things out."
Acre's heart paused for a second. Hearing her words confirmed his worst fears: she's on to him. He wants to tell her now what he truly felt about her, yet he couldn't muster up the courage to do so. Every attempt to communicate his feelings were met with the mental equivalent of running into a wall to escape. Acre's thoughts were imprisoned in his own mind, yearning to be released and getting closer each passing second.
"Now now Acre, don't get upset. The first part in dealing with a problem is to talk about it. What do you truly think about me?" That was it, those words finally broke the ice. The emotions in his head start to run rampant to where he could hold them back no longer. Acre subconsciously blurted out his thoughts.
"I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU, PRINCIPAL CELESTIA! YOU'RE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND KIND WOMAN I KNOW!"
Celestia was left speechless at her student's confession. Never has any student she knew said such things about her before.
"What?!" Celestia gasped in shock and surprise. It took a few moments for Acre to dig up the courage to repeat himself.
"I'm in love with you, Principal Celestia." Acre started with tears starting to soak his face. "You're the most beautiful, kind and sweetest woman I've ever known. Ever since our dance at prom, I could never get the thought of you out of my mind! I love you so much that the mere sight of you makes my feelings swarm around in my mind and it's tearing me apart!"
Acre looked down at the floor, not wanting to bear the sight of Celestia after spilling his guts out to her. He could only hang his head in shame as he awaited the inevitable expulsion. Celestia, coming out of her shock, smiled for a bit before developing a neutral expression, turning off the light and closing the blinders. As she locked the door, the sound alerted Acre to what she was doing.
Wha-w-wh-what?" Acre stammered as Celestia walked in front of him and what happened next shocked him senseless. Celestia sits on Acre's lap, taking his head in her hands and planting her lips on his. Acre was caught off guard by her gesture and thought she was going to discipline him harshly. As the kiss went on, his mind drifted further and further away from his earlier woes before he surrenders to Celestia's kiss. His tongue wrestles with hers in their mouths in a huge battle before Celestia broke the kiss.
"Why?" 'Why' was all Acre could utter at that moment, still reeling from the sudden kiss by his crush. Celestia puts her hands on his shoulders and looks him in the eyes.
"I too feel the same way about you, my dear student. Our dance that day affected me the same way. I hid my feelings from you because of what might happen if I didn't. I feel free for the first time to confess my feelings about you, Acre." Acre smiled as his fears were put to rest as love for her was mutual. Celestia leaned closer and closer till her D-Cup breasts were pushing against Acre's chest, making his shaft harden against her clothed nether region.
"Oh my. Someone's getting really excited." Celestia purred with a smile most sultry. She reached into her pocket and pulled out several pieces of tissue paper, putting them in her student's pants and covering his erect dick.
"There, so you won't mess your clothes up." she calmly says as she leans in again for another round of pure sweet passion. The kiss lasted for a bit longer than the last before Celestia decided to spice it up by straddling Acre's clothed shaft and grinding her quivering sex on it. This elevated their collective passion for each other to whole new heights as Acre put one hand behind her head and the other around her back. Their love for each other strengthened with each kiss and movement fueling their desire to go faster. The sexual tension was at an all time high as Acre started to feel pressure build up, a signal that he was about to climax.
"C-celestia..." Acre grunted as his climax grew closer and closer. "I'm... going to... come!" With the last grind of her sex on his rod, Acre moaned loudly in pleasure as he releases his seed which prompted Celestia ensnare him in another deep kiss to muffle his noise. His mind was flooded with torrents of ecstasy from the lustful kiss and his orgasm. His rush of pleasure lasted for a few minutes before he came back to his senses.
"That... felt... good." he said as he got off the chair. Celestia looked him lustfully in the eyes in a confirmation that their romance is confirmed.
"I'm glad you liked it." Celestia said as she took a piece of paper, jotted something down on it, folded it up and placed it in Acre's coat pocket. "Run along to class now."
As Acre walked along the halls, he pulls out the note and read its content:
Come to my house tomorrow at 5PM.
Acre noticed another folded portion of the note and it contained her address. Acre was stoked out of his mind. He was dry humped by Celestia, his crush and now she wants him to come over to her house for a date. This was a dream made reality for him. He couldn't wait for tomorrow as anxiety and excitement flowed through his veins. He still had to keep it cool for tomorrow if they don't want to arouse anyone's suspicions. With a calm and collected mind, He proceeded on with the rest of the day as he usually did, eager to get home.
Acre returned home that afternoon to a house all to himself. His parents had left to visit his aunt in another state, leaving him to have the house until midnight monday. When he got home, he wasted no time in getting his suit and tie ready for his impending date with Celestia herself. He could only of this moment ever since that dance at prom. He ironed out his whole attire and made sure it was presentable for his date. As night arrived, he decided to get to bed earlier than usual to prepare for a night to remember. As he drifted off to sleep, he couldn't help but make a smile.
"Life is good..."
Author's Note
So, this is my first clopfic. Sorry if the 'sex scene' in this chapter feels rushed. I do plan on doing one of a bigger scale in the 2nd chapter with an epilogue to follow. Stay tuned!
*BEEP*
"Hmmm, slept in a bit late." He says under his breath as he set off for his usual coffee and bagel morning. During this time, he always liked to read the paper for the sake of it.
"Mayor to open new community center next month." He flips through the paper while taking the occasional sip of his coffee and bite of his breakfast. After he ate, he kicked back on the couch and watched reruns of old movies:
"They don't make movies like this anymore." Acre continued to watch until he dozed off to a nap where he experienced a dream that nearly felt real
==============================
Acre and Celestia were all laying on a bed completely naked. The sight of her gorgeous hourglass figure was incredibly alluring and strangely hypnotic.
"Do you like these?" Celestia cooed as she shook her breasts around in a display that pleases Acre. As by pure impulse, he grabs Celestia's succulent tits and fondles them, eliciting pleasured moans from his principal. He kept on feeling and grabbing her tits before Celestia grabs hold of his wrists. She lowers her chest down near Acre's erect member ant stares at it with immense hunger.
"Now it's your turn to feel good." Celestia says as she slides his member between her tits. She moves her breasts up and down his dick in a motion similar to a handjob. This causes Acre to grab on to the bed sheets in a rush of high pleasure as the softness of her tits made the magnified the feeling.
"Ohhhh fffuuuuck, This feels so good, Celestia!" Acre groans as Celestia makes eye contact with him. A lustful smile blooms on her face as she got an idea to maximize her lover's pleasure. Along side her titjob, Celestia sunk Acre's throbbing cock in her mouth and started sucking down on it.
"HOLY SHIT!" Acre shrieked as the movements from both her mouth and breasts made his pleasure skyrocket exponentially. This continued for another couple of minutes before Acre started feel that familiar pressure build up in his lower area.
"I-I-I'm a-about to CUUUU-"
==============================
"ERRRRGGHH!!" Acre was woken from his rest by the sensation of his in-dream orgasm. It felt vividly like the real thing had happened. He looks down on his crotch as he sees his spear making his shorts feel tighter.
"Hmmm." Acre nodded in observation at how his sex-filled dream made him get an erection. This observation didn't last long as his quick glance at the clock told him that it was 3:30 PM.
"Holy shit, I have to get ready for her!" Acre says as he rushes to groom himself to make himself look presentable to his love. After his shower, he shaved the fuzz off his face and look at himself in the mirror to mentally psych himself.
"You can do this. You can do this. It's just a date with a woman you've known. You can handle it. Remember your breathing exercise when you get nervous. Count to four, inhale. Count to four, exhale." After his confidence boosting mirror talk, Acre heads to his room to get dressed for the date. He closely inspected his suit a second time for any dirt and tears. After all is looking tip top shape, He dons his suit and looks at him self in the mirror, brushing his hair.
"Acre, you handsome devil!" He says to himself in the mirror as he walks out of his room and he saw on the clock that it was 4:45, nearly time for his date. He hopped into his car and drove 10 minutes to the address Celestia had given him. He had parked in a nearby lot so no one would become suspicious of what he is up to. Celestia's house was a beautiful 2-story deal with a nice stone orange color to it and a balcony on the 2nd story. Most people would do anything to net a house as decent as hers. After doing his breathing when he felt an onset of nervousness, he knocks on the door 3 times and waits for a response.
"Come on in! I'll be down in a minute." Heeding her words, Acre opens the door and enters Celestia's abode. The living room looked cozy and vibrant. It was a mix of both classical and modern decor that made it look both interesting yet comfortable. As Acre sat down on the couch facing the stairs, the choked up feeling starts to return again. He did his breathing exercise 2 times to calm himself down. Just then he heard Celestia's voice sound forth.
"Alright, Here I come!" Celestia walked dow the stairs and her appearance made Acre's jaw drop. She wore a beautiful white ballgown that was held up by a cross strap on the back and made her breasts noticible. Her hair was tied into a bun that left a little bit extra for the front and her perfume and makeup made her look incredibly sexy.
"Hello there, Acre." Celestia said in a gentle and loving tone.
"Hi Celestia." Acre replies calmly as he looked upon his beautifully dressed principal.
"You look nice, Acre."
"I can say the same about you." Acre's response to her complements made her giggle in glee. The way she was dressed made all sorts of warm and lustful emotions. He had to keep them at bay until the time is right.
"Come over to the table. Let's eat." With that, Acre and Celestia walked over to the dining room table. Acre showed some chivalry and pulled Celestia's seat out for her.
"For you, milady." Acre said in a gentlemanly tone.
"Very gentleman like of you." Celestia chuckled as Acre took his seat. Celestia prepared a nice dinner of braised beef and tortellini. The aroma from the meal was intoxicating. There were glasses of wine poured for the both of them that had a tart fruity scent.
"So Acre..." Celestia started. "How did you come to conclusion that I was the one?" Acre had to think about how it had happened. He didn't know what exactly it was or how to explain it. He tries his best to put that moment to words.
"I honestly don't know how to describe it. It was like when I looked in your beautiful magenta that song played when we slow danced, something in my heart sparked. It felt like our souls connected with each other in an embrace that was hypnotic. As I looked upon your face in that moment, I knew... you were the one." Acre's explanation had touched Celestia's steadily beating heart, making it beat faster than usual. She was moved by his romantic recollection.
"Oh Acre, That was very beautiful." Celestia said as she reached for her glass of wine and held it up half way across the table.
"How about a toast to our love?" Celestia said, inviting Acre to do the same.
"Yes, Celestia." With that toast, the two lovebirds sipped their drinks and started to eat. During the course of the meal, both of them made small talk and chatted about what they do and what Acre wanted to do for a living. When the meal was done, Acre and Celestia both felt full from such a home cooked dinner.
"My god, Celestia. That was good. How did you come up with it?" Acre complemented Celestia's cooking, making her smile.
"My mother passed down that recipe to me years ago. She was a great cook."
"I do agree and so are you." Acre complemented as Celestia climbed out of her seat.
"Do you want to have a dance?" Celestia asks. Acre was excited over idea of repeating that same dance with her from prom.
"Absolutely!" Acre readily agrees. "Why don't we play the same song from last time?" Celestia flips through her phone as she searches for the song. When she found the song, she hooked the phone up to her stereo and pushed play.
"Shall we?" Acre didn't say a word and just took Celestia in hand and wrapped his other arm around her lower back. They slowly swayed and rocked throughout the living room as they held each other close. In the height of the romantic moment, It happened again. The same spark that Acre felt from prom came back. But this time, they both felt it at the same time. They stopped dancing and looked each other in the eyes with lust and wanting. After a few moments, Acre let go of Celestia's hand and pleased it in back of her head. Their faces got closer and closer until their lips made contact. The kiss was of a different nature this time. They no longer had to be held back from the rush, It was a moment of pure, unbridled bliss. Acre held Celestia tighter and closer to him as they both gave in to their instinctual lust. Then, Acre's member got harder and harder until the tip brushed up against Celestia's pantie-covered lower lips, sending a wave of pleasure down each of their spines and breaking the kiss.
"Let's go up to my room." Celestia purred as Acre scooped up and held her in his arms like a noble knight rescuing an imprisoned princess. He slowly walked her up the stairs and down a hall until they reached her room. Once there, They resumed the passionate kiss but fueled with more lust than ever before celestia breaks it. She reaches down to Acre's pants and unbuckles his belt and undoes his button. She pulls down both his dress pants and boxers, setting his stiff member free.
"Oh my word, I never knew you were this... 'gifted'." Celestia says as she stares in surprise at how big Acre's package was. She stares at it with great hunger. She unbuckles the latch in the back of her dress that keeps the shoulder straps fastened and lets her dress fall to the floor, revealing her dark mullberry panties and bra. This prompted Acre to remove the rest of his clothing. Celestia unhooks her bra and slips off her panties revealing her beautifully perky breasts and dripping wet pussy. She walks over to Acre with a little extra sway in her hips, enticing him to intercept and embrace her, locking her in a deep and lustful kiss. Their tongues danced around in their mouths in an epic struggle until Acre's got the upper hand, causing Celestia to surrender to his passion. Acre walks Celestia over to her bed and cimbs on while never breaking the kiss. After a few moments of tongue dancing, Celestia breaks the kiss and points to her lower lips that drips wet with her arousal.
"Eat me... down there." She moans as Acre takes another peck at her lips and works his tongue down her neck. As his tongue crosses over stomach, Celestia lets of a series of shallow and rapid breathing in reaction to the feeling of his tongue on her soft skin. Acre works his tongue towards her crotch, lapping his tongue around her nether region while never touching it. She starts to writhe, twitch, moan shriek over the sensation of his slow but sensual movements in his desire to please his majesty. Finally, he starts to lick her pussy an causes her to quiver in ecstasy as his tongue goes up to her sensitive spot.
"AAAHHH!" Celestia screams as Acre nibbles at her clit which sends a shockwave of pleasure through her body and making her arch her back. Encouraged by her reaction, Acre decides to take it a step further and catch her off guard with his idea. He quickly inserts his tongue in her love canal, moving it around and stimulating any nerve there his tongue could possibly reach. He does this for as long as he could with her encouragement before Celestia starts to reach her climax.
"Acre, I.. I'm going to cum!" Celestia moans out shortly before her she couldn't contain her lust any longer and orgasms. Ladycum splashes upon Acre's face in a small torrent as her orgasm dies down and lies flat on the bead panting in exhaustion.
"Oh... my... god!" Celestia breathes as she reels from her trip to pleasuretown, courtesy of her lover. She then gets on her knees and pushes Acre down on his back without warning. Acre was caught of guard by her move. He wonders what she'll do next. She holds up her boobs and wiggles them around in a teasing way.
"Do you like these?" Celestia cooed as she continues to squish them around. Suddenly, Acre remembers that sight from his dream hours ago. He begins to wonder whether it was a premonition, but he decides not to dwell on that thought.
"Absolutely!" Acre says as he wastes no time in fondling her soft chest pillows. She moans and moans as Acre slowly massages her tits with his hands. He fiddled with her sensitive and erect nipples that made gasp in shock from a rush of pleasure. She pushes his hands away by the wrists and gives him a sultry stare.
"Now it's your turn to feel good." Like before, she does the same thing he saw in his dream,sandwiching his dick between her tits. The movement of her tits and their soft feel made Acre grunt loud enough for Celestia to notice. Grinning and purring at him, she places her mouth on the tip of his member and softly kisses it. It nearly sent him over the edge but Celestia wasn't done yet. She wanted him to feel better than good. She slides her mouth over his cock and moves it in a rhythm that's in sync with her breasts. This starts to send him over the edge as Acre feels the pressure of his climax fast approaching.
"I-I-I'm a-about to CUUUU-" With a loud coarse grunt, he pumps load after load of his seed in his principal's mouth. She drinks each load of her student's seed as he pumps more and more into her mouth. After the 12 load, Acre's orgasm ends as he pants from spending much of his stamina holding back the climax.
"Mmmm, salty yet sweet." she says in regards to the taste of Acre's seed.
"How in the world did you make it feel that good?" Acre asks Celestia as she lies down next to him, moving her fingers through is hair.
"A magic touch." she says as she ruffles his hair some more with an added kiss to his forehead. She then spreads her legs apart and looks towards Acre with lustful eyes.
"Time for the main event." Knowing what she meant, Acre crawls on top of her and positions his dick in front of her love canal. The sensation of that contact flared up every nerve in their bodies with pure sexual ecstasy. He slowly slides his dick through her lower lips slowly. The ladycum from Celestia's earlier orgasm allowed him to slide it in with relative ease. He slowly begins to slide it out before moving it in again. He keeps on doing this in a rhythm that only increased in tempo as his movements got faster and deeper.
"OH YES!!!! FUCK ME, FUCK ME!!!! FUCK ME INTO NEXT WEEK!!!" Her screams of pleasure only furthered his drive to go faster and harder to please the both of them. As the walls around his cock squeezed it, Acre felt another rush of pleasure that pushed him close to the brink of cumming.
"Celestia, I'm about to cum!" Acre grunted as he feels the buildup getting stronger.
"Me too!" Celestia moans as her inner walls are being hammered. "Cum in me! Fill me up, give me all your seed!"
"CELESTIAAAA!!"
With the last few movements, Acre felt his member quiver as he pumps loads of his seed in Celestia's pussy, sending her over the edge. The force of her orgasm further constricted her inner walls around Acre's member, milking it for every last drop of his cum that he pumps. After 14 loads of cum, Acre collapsed on the bed beside Celestia and cuddles with her.
"That was fantastic!" said Acre as he nuzzles his head in her neck. "I never thought I would experience something like that!" Celestia returns the gesture, wrapping her arm around his head and locking him in another kiss.
"Celestia?"
"Yes?"
"I love you. I wish we could be together." His words rang around in her head like an after effect from a bell ringing. She couldn't help but tear up at the thought of being together with someone she loves but she felt something that would never make that desire come true. She begins to cry which made Acre alarmed with concern.
"Why are you crying? Is it something I said?" He asks out of concern for her. He never wanted to see anyone he loved cry, especially her.
*Sniff*"No,*Sniff* It's that we can't be together.*Sniff* You're still a student and it's taboo for us to be like this." That fact upsets Celestia that the both of them can't truly be a couple. The emotional pain hurt her so much that Acre himself felt a bit of the same sting.
"There there, Celestia. Shhhhhh." Acre wraps his crying principal in a tender, loving embrace while gently rocking her. "I'll make you a vow."
"What?" Acre's statement began to pull her out of her sorrow as he looks her in the eyes with a sense of conviction.
"I promise... I'll comeback for you one of these days. If it takes me a year or two, I will come back, my love." Acre's words reignited hope in Celestia as she comes off of her sorrow and rests her head on his shoulder, smiling with reignited optimism.
"Thank you, Acre." Celestia whispers as she starts to doze off.
"You're welcome, Celestia." Acre says as the grip of sleep start to claim him.
...
The following friday, graduation day had come to CHS. Hundreds of seniors sat onstage in front of their families as they awaited for their names to be called by Principal Celestia to receive their diploma. Acre sat on stage along side his friends he had during his high school career and looked back on all of the good times they had together.
"Acre Sunshine!"
When he heard his name, Acre walked up to Celestia and received his diploma and walked back to his friends on the bleachers . He look on at his parents who are proud of him reaching such a big milestone. He waves at them as his father smiles on and his mother brought to tears. After the last students had walked and a farewell speech from Principal Celestia, the students all did the traditional 'throw your hat in the air'.
As he walked out of the auditorium, Acre notices Celestia looking at him and gives her brief hug.
"So, this is goodbye." Celestia whispers in consealed sorrow.
"For now." Acre says with a slight smile as he walks out of the school to meetup with his parents.
"Farewell, my student."
With one last look at the school, Acre Sunshine had left CHS for good. Thus begins a new chapter of his life as looks towards the future and the possibility of reuniting with Celestia one day.

(Fitting Music)
Here's the second chapter. Stay tuned for the epilogue. There'll be quite the feels in that one.
Epilogue: The Vow Honored
==================5 Years Later:==================
It has been 5 years since his romantic fling with Celestia. Acre got out of college and got a job working for a software company in their IT department. It was the typical cubical job that white collar folk would get in the professional world but Acre took what came his way. He also rents an apartment in the close to the commercial of Canterlot that allowed him to live independently. As far as he is concerned, Acre has his life on the right track. Yet, there was always that lingering thought at the back of his mind he couldn't shake.
It was the saturday morning after he got off work for the weekend. He wanders around his apartment to stretch his legs after a night's rest. After getting his morning routine squared away, he decides to chill out on his apartment's balcony and admire the beautiful sight of the city. Skyscrapers towering tall and proud above the city made one imagine what it looked like before.
As Acre tries to reach his phone for a picture of the skyline, he felt a small metal trinket he left in his pocket. As he pulled it out, It was revealed to be a pocket watch, a gift from Celestia during that night. It all came back to him as he opened the watch and saw a picture of his former principal within it. In the picture, she was smiling with her long and sparkly hair flowing in the wind. It fills him with bittersweet joy to remember the good time the both of them had all those years ago.
"Thank you, my love."
Those words echoed through his mind as he looks back on that dance that started it all. He breathes a heavy and sorrowful sigh as he still longs for her. A tear flows down his cheek as he remembers that vow he made to her that night.
"I promise... I'll comeback for you one of these days. If it takes me a year or two, I will come back, my love."
Holding the trinket close to his chest, He began to feel regret for having made her endure the years they've been apart thus far. With resolve replacing sadness, he decided it was time to honor the vow he made.
"I guess it's time." He mutters to himself as he exited his apartment and to his car. He took a minute of breathing to prepare him for the emotional roller coaster before he set out on the road for Celestia's house. It took 15 minutes of driving before reached his destination, still as vibrant looking as before. Without a sound, he exits his car and approaches the front door. He paused for a few moments as his mind raced with storm of thoughts.
"Will she even remember me? "Has she moved on?" "Is she even still living here?"
Those possibilities scared him as he proceeded to knock on the door to find out.
*Knock*
After a few minutes of tension, the door opens up to reveal a familiar face he waited to see again.
"Acre?" Celestia says in surprise as she sees Acre for the first in years. She was overwhelmed with happiness and sadness as she began to shed tears of joy. She was finally reunited with her lover at last. Not holding back her joy any longer, she lunges at him an entraps him in a tight embrace that nearly threw him off balance. Acre begins to rub her back to calm Celestia down as her tears begin to soak the shoulder part of his shirt.
"I'd knew you'd come back. I never gave up hope that you would." Celestia says as she weeps in Acre's shoulder.
"I've never forgotten about that." Acre reassures Celestia as she lets go of him.
"Let's go inside."
Acre and Celestia walk into the house that hasn't changed much from the last time Acre was there. He and Celestia sat down on the couch to catch up on old times.
"So, what have you been doing with yourself?" Celestia asks as she crosses her legs.
"Working as technical specialist for TechnoBytes downtown. It's a cubicle job, but it pays. You still work at CHS?"
"Of course I do. Recently, Mrs. Cheerilee became head of the mathematics department."
"I'm bet she's enjoying that promotion."
"She does miss teaching they way she used to, though."
"Heh, I'll bet."
"Say, would you like some tea?" Celestia says as she got up from the couch.
"That sounds good right about now." Acre says as Celestia walks in to the kitchen. Acre takes another gander of the living room to appreciate the decor. Paintings, Depressionware, and a few pictures made the room an interesting enough sight to the eyes spark a conversation or two.
"She does have quite an interesting taste." He says as Celestia walks back in the room with two cups of tea in hand.
"Why, thank you." She says as she sat the couch, handing Acre his tea. "Half of this stuff was inherited from my parents."
"How long did it take them to gather such a collection?" Acre inquires.
"About 20 years, It was more of a hobby for them."
"Hey, everybody's gonna their own pass time." As Acre finished his statement, Celestia held out her cup in a familiar gesture.
"To our reunion." She says, prompting Acre to follow suit.
"And may our love be eternal." After they clicked their cups together, they took a long, hearty sip of their tea. The atmosphere of the moment was broken by a pitter-patter of soft footsteps that grew louder and closer.
"Hello Mommy!" A child, around the age of 4, rushed up to Celestia and gave her a hug.
"Hey there, Orchard." She says as she ruffles his hair.
"Who is that, mommy?" It shocked Acre to learn that Celestia has a son. He hadn't know about it during their 5 years apart.
"He's an old friend of mommy." Celestia says to Orchard as she kisses his forhead. "Why don't you run back into your room and play for a bit, okay deary?"
"Okay mommy." Orchard ran back into his room in a slight sprint. The knowledge that the one he loved has a son shocked Acre into confusion. He slowly got up, pacing around the room, thinking about how Celestia has a child.
"So... He's your son?" Acre asks in a puzzled tone, prompting Celestia to walk towards him.
"Yes."
"Adopted?"
"No." Celestia's answer shocked Acre to the core.
"What?!"
"Isn't it obvious? He's your's." Those last two words shook Acre to the core, nearly making him faint. The revelation that Celestia had a child by him during the last 5 years. It all made sense. the looked child looked a bit like her and him in that Orchard has his eyes. He leaned his head against the wall, confused and hurt.
"Bu-bu-but how?" He says in a muffled, pained tone. The emotional hurt was also felt by Celestia as she hung her head in guilt.
"That night we made love, I wasn't on the pill. When I learned after your graduation that I was pregnant, I decided to keep the child as a reminder of you. I never informed you for your own sake." Frustrated and slightly angry over the explanation, Acre snaps out of his confused state.
"Why?!" Acre blurts out, causing Celestia to tear up in her guilt. "I would've helped you out at the drop
"I never wanted to distract you from establishing your life." Celestia turns away, not wanting to look him in the eyes out of shame. "I didn't want you to throw your life away when you just started it." Overcome with guilt over causing Acre emotional distress, she began to cry. It was not a sight he enjoyed seeing. After a few contemplative moments, He came to the realization that all that matters is that he's with her again and they have a son to raise. It nonetheless made Acre proud of being a dad. Wanting to end her sadness, he grabs her in a loving embrace, rocking her slightly. She was at first caught off guard by his gesture but accepted it with her own.
"I'm so sorry about all of that. I never wanted to hurt you." Celestia whispers as her spirits were lifted.
"I'm the one who should say that. I shouldn't have acted the way I did." Acre said as he rubbed Celestia's back to calm her down further. "What we can do now is leave all this drama behind and look towards our future, together."
As the continued to embrace each other, a brief moment of eye contact revived the same spark that brought them together. Before they knew it, they brought their faces close to one another with Celestia closing the gap with her lips. The kiss was different than the one from their date long ago. They were no longer held back by the confines of being student and principal, they were now an actual couple. The kiss lasted for a few more minutes before Celestia breaks it.
"Agreed." she says as she pulls out of the embrace. Then, Orchard dashes into the room and approaches Acre.
"You're tall." He says, eliciting a humorous chuckle from Acre
"Well... Fe fi fo fum!" He responds with a mock stomp, making Orchard giggle loudly. As he looked towards Celestia looking through her mail, he leans in towards Orchard's ear and whispers to him.
"Hey, why don't you ask your mother to get you a drink?"
"Okay mister." Orchard rushes to his mother, asking her for a drink. She wanders into the kitchen and pours Orchard a sippy cup of juice. As Celestia walks out of the kitchen, she turns to see a surprise that left her speechless. Acre is on one knee, holding out a small box in his hands. He opens it to reveal a small diamond ring, nestled in the case.
"Will you, Celestia, be my wife?" She couldn't believe what she just heard and saw: Acre was proposing to her. Her mind was filled with a hurricane of joy that brought to tears. It was the happiest moment of her life since she became a mother.
"Yes! Yes! A million times yes!" She says as she rushes to embrace him. Their love now came to another big milestone: Engagement. Orchard approaches his parents, confused as to why his mother was crying.
"Mommy, why are you crying?" Celestia turns to her son and wipes away her tears.
"Mommy is happy, deary." She says, pointing to Acre. "I also have to tell you something. Mommy's friend here isn't just her friend." Orchard was confused as to what his mother meant by what she said. Acre crouches down Orchard's level, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"Hi son, I'm your daddy." Orchard's eyes widened over what he heard. The stranger was his daddy. He never saw him before, but he was nonetheless excited to finally meet him.
"DADDY!!!" Orchard hugged Acre tightly as joy overcame him.
"It's good to meet you, too." Acre chuckles as Celestia Joins them in the hug. In that moment, they felt like a family. After a few moments, The group hug was broken.
"Say Honey, how about when your sister gets home, we go out to eat to celebrate?" Acre asks to Celestia's delight.
"That sounds good, dear." She says as she holds her fiancee's hand with a deep feeling of love. She at last now has what she wanted: a fiancee to start a family with, including a son. She couldn't ask for anything more than that.
"Life is good."
