Chapters It was a cold snowy day in Ponyville and since it was so cold and windy, not a lot of ponies were outside. There were a few ponies walking to different stores for some shopping. One pony was also shopping and had a lot of bags. The pony was a unicorn mare that was slightly taller than the average mare, but was still very pretty. Her coat was a light blue while her mane and tail was brown with the tips dyed royal blue; her eyes were a very dark brown and her cutie mark was a blue music note with a paint brush. Since it was cold and windy, she also was wearing black earmuffs and matching scarf; her name was Steady Beats but every pony called her SB.
SB was walking out of town to get home; her house was quite a bit away from the town, so she doesn’t come around a lot and she needed to shop for stuff before the big snow storm that was coming in tonight. As she walked home, she made sure that the bags weren’t falling off her back since they’re pretty heavy. She was excited to get started on her next art project since she was going to earn a lot of bits. She was also excited to get back to see the love of her life Hunter who stayed back home since he wasn’t feeling very well, so she did also do some shopping so that Hunter had the things he needed while getting better
When SB got home, she took the bags off her back and shook the snow off her since it started to snow more. As she used her magic to take her muffs and scarf off, she felt something pull her; she knew it was Hunter and it made her giggle, hugging him as he held her tightly. Hunter was a very tall unicorn stallion whose coat was a dark gray and his hair was a darker gray with the tips dyed red; his cutie mark was a pair of red headphones. He also wore black glasses and a red scarf while his usual gaming headphones hung around his neck. Hunter looked like a stallion that could easily be intimidating and powerful if messing with himself or SB, but was very kind when in a good mood.
“Welcome home sweetie. I’m sorry for not being able to help with the shopping.” Hunter said in a slightly croaky voice as he still held his precious mare.
“It’s fine honey. You’re sick, so it’s understandable.” SB said kindly as she carried the bags to the kitchen, Hunter following close behind and helping her with putting away everything.
“I still feel bad though. It must’ve been freezing and you carried all those heavy bags by yourself when I should’ve been there to help you.” Hunter said in a guilty voice as he nuzzled his little mare.
“Honey, you’re sick. I don’t want you to get any sicker than you already are.” SB said kindly then kissed his lips gently, Hunter kissing her back and holding her tightly.
When the two were done, they walked back to the bedroom and stayed in bed for the rest of the day; Hunter played his video games while SB doodled in her sketch pad. Every now and then, she would nuzzle and cuddle him as he played; of course he still played, but he did hug and kiss her when he could since he did love his gaming, but he loved her more. By the end of the day, the two fall asleep while holding each other since the two were practically and literally inseparable. The two were like this since the day they started dating and even when friends, they were always together.
Hunter and SB have been together for many years and they still love each other like it’s the first day they confessed to each other. They have been living together for almost 2 years now and it worked out very well for the two since they lived on different parts of town that made it very hard to see each other. The two met when in town and were buy sweets at SugarCube Corner; both had an instant connection and were friends instantly. After about a year, they decided to start dating since they were both wanting to date again and both complimented each other very well since SB supported Hunter in whatever he did and he made her feel the love she desperately needed. SB was a little older than Hunter and every pony thought they were crazy for being together with that weird age gap, but they loved each other so much that it didn’t matter what any pony thought.
SB enjoyed every single moment that she got to be with Hunter since she loved him so much that she whatever she could to make sure he was comfortable when moving in; her house was much bigger than his, so now he had more space to do whatever. Hunter is also very loving but also protective of SB since she’s a bigger size than most mares and other ponies would bully her for it; there were many times where Hunter either yelled at mares or beat up stallions for making fun of his girlfriend to where she was crying. There was one time where SB just downright hated herself and thought that she didn’t deserve any love from any pony, but Hunter held her and gave her every ounce of love he had in his being while saying she was absolutely perfect; SB hated the word since she never believed in the word perfect, but since her love was so strong, she believed in him.
Even to today, the two loved each other and no pony could be able to separate them. No matter what kind of challenges they face because of others not accepting the two, they had each other and that’s all that mattered to them.

this just describes me and Hunters love; no we haven't been together for years, but it feels like it XD
if you read this Hunter, I love you with all my being honey ^^
It was early the next morning and Steady Beats just woke up, feeling very tired but knew she had to get up. She was about to get up when she realized that Hunter was snuggling up to her, still sleeping and not letting her go. Seeing him like this made her smile as she tried her best to escape his grip while trying not to wake him. After about 5 minutes of struggling, she finally escapes without waking him up and heads downstairs to the kitchen. She decides to make breakfast for the two, making sure to make enough for the two; SB planned to clean the entire house so she needed the energy.
After about an hour of cooking, SB was finally done; she made eggs, toast, pancakes, and fruit salad. As she was about to make some coffee, she heard some pony by the kitchen door and saw that Hunter was standing there; he looked like he slept for a long time, but in reality he was up for a long time because of feeling sick. SB smiled and walked over to Hunter, gently nuzzling up to him and kissing his cheek.
“Good Morning honey. How did you sleep?” SB asked kindly as she walked back to the coffee pot.
“I had a rough night, but I was able to sleep ok since you were next to me.” Hunter said with a yawn and sits at the table, seeing all the food that she made.
“Well you came down just in time for breakfast, so go ahead and start eating.” SB said as she carried her mug of coffee to the table and starts eating.
When the two finished eating, they both cleaned up the dishes fairly quickly and hang out in the bedroom; SB decided to start cleaning at about 10 so she can spend time with Hunter. After an hour, Hunter falls asleep and it gave SB a chance to start cleaning. When she got everything she needed, she put in some ear buds and turn on some music then starts cleaning the living room. By the time it was 12, she finished both the living room and the kitchen. When she was about to start cleaning the spare bedroom, she was stopped by some kind of magic; when looking to see where the magic was coming from, she saw it was Hunter.
“Sweetie, how long have you been cleaning?” Hunter asked in a slightly croaky voice, using his magic to set down the cleaning stuff SB was holding.
“Since about 10. I thought this would be a good time since we don’t have anything else to do.” SB said as she turned to Hunter.
“You could’ve asked me for help.” Hunter said sadly as he moved closer to SB.
“Honey, you’re not feeling good. I don’t want you to be up and walking around when you should be resting.” SB said kindly as she nuzzled him.
“But I want to help you sweetheart. You deserve some help when doing a lot of work and no matter if I’m sick or not, I don’t want you to over work yourself.” Hunter said sweetly as he held his loving mare, which made SB blush and want to hide it; every time Hunter made her blush or cry from happiness, it always warmed his heart.
After some arguing, SB gave in and lets Hunter help her clean. The two got done within another 2 hours and when they got done with a few little things, they walk into the bedroom where Hunter collapsed onto the bed and almost fell asleep. SB giggled at the tired and still ill stallion since he did do a lot of work, but she was very tired as well. She also thought of making some lunch before stopping for today, but before she could leave, she was pulled away and hugged tightly by Hunter.
“Hunter, I have to go make lunch.” SB said with a giggle as she nuzzled him.
“I don’t care. I need you.” Hunter said as he nuzzled into her neck, kissing it and making her giggle more since she was ticklish.
After a while, it was Hunters turn to give up and let SB go make lunch. When she was done, she brought it up with her so she could eat with him; she made veggie stew. As the two ate, they watched a random movie and were snuggling close to each other. When they were done, they just lay back and watched the movie till they both fall asleep. The two always seemed so happy together and boy was it true.

here's just one day where I demonstrate one of the days where I get stubborn but Hunter breaks me of it, so this is interesting XD
It’s been about a week since Hunter was finally healed from his sickness and he felt better than before he even got sick. In the late morning, Hunter was awake and playing some games; SB was in a different room working on some art for a client. As Hunter was playing, he faintly heard a sound that he couldn’t tell what it was but ignored it and went back to playing. When he heard it again, he stopped and listened closely to what it could be. After hearing it, he starts looking around to see what it could be; when the he found the sound, it was coming from SB’s art room.
When Hunter walks into the room, he sees SB sitting by her easel, a paintbrush that was covered in white paint on the floor and she was holding her foreleg. Hunter hears the sound again and realized that it was her crying. When he moved closer, he saw tears in her eyes and she seemed to be hiding her foreleg.
“Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” Hunter asked in a whisper as he tried to hold SB; she ended up moving away so she was facing away from him.
“Nothing Hunter.” SB said quietly as she rubbed her foreleg. Hunter frowns and rubs at her back gently, trying to stop her from crying.
“Honey you’re crying. Please tell me.” Hunter said as SB kept trying to hide both her tears and her foreleg.
“Hunter, there’s nothing wrong ok?” SB said in quite an angry tone as she cried. Hunter sighed and pulled her close, hugging her tightly and resting her head on his shoulder.
“Steady Beats, I know there’s something wrong. Now tell me what’s going on.” Hunter said in a very serious voice as he held her close; this made SB whimper since she hasn’t heard him be this serious in a long time, but she ended up crying more and nuzzling into his shoulder.
“Today just sucks. I only slept for 3 hours last night but I didn’t want to wake you so I worked on the painting; then my client told me that the deadline for the painting was cut down to next week; then I burnt my breakfast where I couldn’t eat it; then as I was trying to paint, I cut myself badly on my sculpting knife and the blood dripped onto my painting.” SB said as she sobbed, pointing at her painting which had some drips of blood on the lighter parts then she showed a 3 inch long cut on her foreleg that was still bleeding but was covered by an old paint rag.
“Oh sweetie, you poor thing. Let’s get that cleaned up.” Hunter said sadly as he kissed her forehead then used his magic to take the rag away then walked SB to the bathroom.
As Hunter grabbed the first aid kit, SB sat there crying and trying to wipe her tears away; she wasn’t too sensitive to pain, but it did hurt more than what other ponies would feel. After about 5 minutes, her cut was cleaned, disinfected, and wrapped up. When he was done, he hugged her tightly and rubbed her back, being careful of her cut. SB just sat there and cried as Hunter hugged her; SB has very bad depression and sometimes she gets really sad where she would hide away from others, but today it’s not as bad and she just needed comfort.
“Its ok honey, everything will be fine.” Hunter whispered as he hugged her tighter and kissed her neck, making SB blush and nuzzle into his chest.
“Today is just horrible. Why can’t one piece of work go right?” SB said as she cried into Hunters chest, rubbing where her cut is.
“Bad days just happen sweetie, but I know you’ll still make it look amazing before the deadline.” Hunter said as he made her look up at him, kissing her gently but deeply. SB just nods and hugs him tightly, tears still falling and landing on his chest.
After a few minutes of comforting, both of them walk back to the art room and SB starts trying to fix the painting, trying to paint over where there was blood stains. After about 6 hours of nonstop work, she finally is done and the painting looked beautiful; it was of the client and his wife on their wedding day and wherever the blood stains were, she painted hearts and roses over them. When she put the painting by the window to dry, she sighed and collapsed onto the floor; she always worked herself till she was done with her work, so she was very tired. After resting for a minute, she got up and walked to the kitchen; Hunter was there cooking, which surprised SB since she usually did the cooking.
“Honey, why are you cooking?” SB asked as she walked closer to him, smelling chicken and shrimp.
“Well since you were working so hard on your art, I decided to make dinner for us.” Hunter said he kissed her cheek then went back to cooking. SB was about to retort but gave up and sat the table; she was just too tired to argue.
When Hunter was done, he sets the table and made both of their plates; SB ate the chicken while he ate shrimp. As the two ate, SB looked very worn out and was about to pass out at any minute. When they were done, they cleaned up the mess then head up to the bedroom; once SB lay in bed, she passed out. Hunter just laughed as the tired mare and lets her sleep, playing some of his games from before; despite her being sad quite a lot, she was still perfect in his eyes and that was enough for him.
