"I Love You"

“I Love You”

...

Warmth. All she feels when she awakens, all that registers as she groggily blinks the sleep out of her eyes, is an overwhelming sensation of warmth. Rays of soft morning sunlight travel through the window to caress the pegasus’ blue fur, but the source of the unusual warmth remains a mystery. A yawn escapes her mouth as she begins to sit up, stretching her still-sleeping limbs in the process.

With a start, the cyan mare takes note of the soft leg curled tightly around her midsection, preventing her from stretching her wings. Cautiously, she turns to face the leg’s owner and, in doing so, discovers the source of the warmth.

Smiling to herself, the athletic pegasus carefully attempts to remove herself from the vice-grip of her partner’s grasp, using her hooves to nudge the leg from her body and wriggling to free herself. Eventually, she removes the leg, and wriggles free of the loving embrace. With a soft grin plastered onto her face, the prismatic pegasus begins to stand, only to be pulled suddenly back onto the bed of clouds. With a gasp, she closes her eyes and grins widely, before bursting into a fit of giggles.

Slowly, she opens her magenta eyes to find herself staring into two deep pools of aqua. Closing her eyes once more, she pulls the pony above her into a tight kiss, drowning herself in the presence of her lover. She savors every moment, as the spark between the two lovers ignites a flame of passion, of love, in her heart. With regret, she breaks free of the kiss, and buries her muzzle in the mare’s light pink mane, taking in her sweet, natural scent. Lost in the soft mane, she sighs blissfully, content to remain in the embrace of her love for eternity. A soft nudge rouses her from her joyful daydreaming, and she nuzzles the mare briefly before pulling away.

Turning once more to gaze into her lover’s eyes, the blue pony melts beneath the mare’s soft gaze, losing all control of her emotions. She wouldn’t have cared if every pony in Equestria was watching, for at this moment, all that matters is the mare above her and the warm feeling spreading from her heart through her entire body. The rainbow-maned pegasus opens her mouth to speak, to utter those three words she has longed to say ever since she first gazed into those beautiful eyes all those years ago at flight camp. Shivering from the sheer closeness of the pegasus on top of her, she steels her nerves and readies herself, finding strength in her lover’s gaze.

A buttery-yellow hoof stops her just as she begins to speak, and the mare above her simply nods her head; tears of joy falling into oblivion. Giddy smiles shine brighter than even the light of the sun, the expression of joy mirrored on the faces of the two mares. Both ponies lean forward, and their lips meet once again, saying all that is necessary.
