Black Gates: Fallen

An hour later:

Twilight was vastly unprepared for horror movies, as she wasn’t a big fan of them herself. But, the reassuring warmth, and constant protective presence Arkantos gave off she found herself actually at peace.

Well… that and she had nestled her head into his neck and wasn’t paying the slightest bit of attention to the movie. Her human had also lost all interest he had and was now cuddling with her, much to the mare’s delight.

The newly formed couple were giving tentative glances to Shining and Cadance, when they finally had a moment of security, Twilight leaned up and kissed Ark. The act was more then just one of love, it was a true thank you for what had happened nearly a week ago. Both for saving her friends’ lives, and for nearly giving his own to protect her. They didn’t waste time in just touching lips, their tongues made contact within moments, the two only giving away their current situation when they released a shared moan.

Shining’s head immediately snapped to glare at them, though Cadance cupped his cheeks.

“Let them be.” She whispered soothingly, kissing his neck. “They both deserve to be happy. And if they make each other happy, then who are you to stop them?”

“W-wh…” Shining mumbled before slowly returning his attention to Cadance. “Right…” He nodded for a few moments, “Wait… don’t you mean, who are we to stop them?”

Cadance laughed a bit louder then she intended to. “I’m the Princess of Love, Shining… if their love is ever in question then I can step in.” She grinned, only to realize Twilight and Arkantos were now staring at them.

“This is my home. If you don’t like what I choose to do in it then you can leave.” Twilight huffed, pressing tighter against Arkantos who was still relatively silent.

“I’m your older brother th-”

“And I’m an adult! I don’t need somepony policing my love life.” Twilight crossed her arms as she sat up right in Ark’s lap. “And don’t… don’t get me started on things that you’ve done! Last time I was at Mom and Dad’s, Mom and I found some very interesting things hidden under your bed…”

“Woah! Hold up the-” Shining was cut off.

“What did you find?” Cadance inquired, more then a little curious about these majestic findings.

“Heh, why don’t you go to mom? She’ll give everything to you.” Twilight grinned.

“Aww… that’s no fun… I want to hear just a little abo-”

“No! I won’t stand for this!” Shining shook his head. “We’re leaving!”

“Why? Embarrassed that you didn’t hide your porno collection all that well?” Twilight giggled. “C’mon… It’s nothing to be embarrassed about… well, other then it being so… vanilla.”

“I… I am NOT talking about my kinks with my sister! That’s weird!” Shining huffed.

“He is a bit kinky Twilight.” Cadance nodded. “Not much… but his romantic endeavors more then makeup for it.” She teased, pinching Shining’s cheek.

“Stop it!” Shining ordered.

“What about you?” Cadance and Twilight’s attention turned to Arkantos.

He shrugged. “I dunno.” He grinned playfully.

“C’mon…” Twilight egged him on.

“I think cross-species attraction is a pretty big kink.” Ark teased. “That and a bit of a public romp… that was sorta fun.” His joking tone didn’t really give much in the way of truth, but Twilight’s sudden blush and her shifting in his lap did.

“Um…”

“Okay… it was in a forest, and just outside of our hunting camp… one-night stand sort of thing.” Arkantos laughed, wrapping his arms around Twilight. “I’m just teasing you.”

Twilight blushed. “Shut up.” She ordered quietly, resting against him again. “Cadance, Shining go away.”

“C’mon Shiny… Let’s go.” Cadance pulled Shining to his feet.

“No! I’m not le-”

“Let it go, Shining.” Cadance ordered, tugging him away. “You’re only just going to end up being torn apart by Twilight.”

“But…”

“I wanna cuddle with you tonight.” Twilight nestled against Arkantos.
“That sounds perfect.” Arkantos squeezed her tightly. He lifted her up, his new mare cooing happily as his warmth grew.

“It is perfect.” Twilight closed her eyes and rested her head against his chest. He carried her up to her bedroom, the two almost completely forgetting about Cadance and Shining still being there. They shared a few soft kisses and Twilight warmly nuzzled him. As he sat down on the bed Twilight was quick to teleport their top layer of clothes off, she pushed him down on the bed and nuzzled into his neck. He tugged the blanket out from under them and pulled her underneath it.

Twilight was on top of the world happily laughing and giggling as he nuzzled and kissed her. “You’re amazing Twilight.” He slowly caressed her back.

“You’re certainly making me feel that way.” She pushed herself up, now looking down at his body for the first time.

“I’m all yours.” He grinned, cupping her cheeks. She blushed once again and pushed his hands down.

“Then let me look.” She whispered, shifting back onto her knees. She was now given a full view of the muscular man laying back on her bed, his olive chest looking so inviting and warm, the muscles, despite how hard they looked were incredibly soft to her touch. Just to make sure she wasn’t hallucinating she touched them, squeeing at both how soft and real they were. She looked over his scars and shivered as she felt each one. She let out a breathy moan as his hand slid up her own scar, this time he didn’t pull away as he reached her breast, though he didn’t grope or even tease her.

“You’re so damn beautiful.” He breathed, reaching up to cup her cheeks and pull her down into a kiss. She eagerly accepted the kiss and moaned into his mouth. She cupped his cheeks and used her magic to guide his hands down her back.

“It’s so… strangely wonderful.” Twilight pulled back from his lips and panted heavily.

“What is?”

“Every time I’ve met strangers so willing to protect me… it’s always turned into something so much better.” She giggled quietly, “First my best friends… and now you.” She nuzzled into his warm neck.

“When you dove into my dream to help me… I knew I had to be ready to do the same for you. Protect you from anything that would want to harm you.” Arkantos sighed as he squeezed her close. “I… knew it wasn’t just… wanting to be friendly… after you got hurt, I felt like i had failed everything…”

Twilight cut him off with a deep kiss. After nearly a minute she pulled back. “I love you Arkantos. I know you love me. Anything else… the reasons why, the way it started… that doesn’t matter right now. We have to see if it will last… then we can worry about everything else.” She laid her head down on his chest. “You agreed to cuddle tonight. So that’s what we’re going to do. No discussion, no ifs, no buts… just hold me.”

Ark nodded and hugged her close, closing his eyes as he let his new mare curl up against his warm body. “Goodnight Twilight…”

“Goodnight Ark.” She smiled, closing her eyes. “I expect to have breakfast ready tomorrow…”

He laughed. “And this time we’ll actually eat…”
