Cutie Marks

Previous Chapter

DarkAxe's POV

He starts to walk with me and each time I look back at him I catch him looking at ether my flank or my cutie mark.

"You enjoying the view?" I say looking back at him and he turns a adorable shade of red, yes I called him adorable, buck you.

"I-i u-uh I was looking at your cutie mark I swear!!" He says backing away.

"Hey it's okay, I don't mind you looking at me, kinda gives me a confidence boost...But if you were looking at my 'cutie mark', I'll gladly tell you how I got it." I say.

"Y-yeah I would like that." He says smiling with that still adorable blush on his face.

"Well before DarkAxe my name was MidnightStar, I got my cutie mark one night when I was protecting my mama from...from..." shit I almost said my darkest secret, the secret I held ever since I was 14.

"I-if you don't want to say you don't have to." He says putting his hoof on my shoulder.

"...Well...Now I want to tell you...Okay when I tell you this you have to promise me not to tell anypony." Poking him with my hoof.

"Yeah, I won't tell anypony but you really don't have to." He says again,
But no if I want to be in a re-....a relationship with this Stallion I want him to hear this from me, I mean in the only one who knows but...I just want him to know.

"No I will...But then you have to tell me how you got yours!" I say wanting a fair trade.

"...okay deal." He says putting out his hoof for a hoof shake and I return it...and I feel a slight spark, ugh this is so weird but in a good way.

"Well...go on." He says pulling his hoof away and blushing.

"So it was midnight, which would be noon in my time zone...and it all happened so fast."

Rewind time~

MidnightStar POV

I was home with my Mama and we were just talking about memories when I was younger. My Tatâ was coming home late, he usually does and he's always very Drunk or just tipsy.

One day he came home and...It all went to hell.

"Buna Tara! Cum a fost numarul de stele!?" I said excitedly.

"TE TÂRASTI DE COLT INUTIL!!??" My Tata yells loudly, my Tata always had a very bad temper and a big alchahol problem, he would some times beat my Mama but I couldn't do anything about it, until tonight after my Tata have his usual yells and threats at me he turns my Mama.

At first I did what I always did...I curled into a little ball near my bed and something changed in me...

Like I had enough of this!...

I kicked my door down and I saw that my Tata was about to punch my mother again and my wings spread and my face turned into a grim look of a killer, as my mother had put it.

"PLEACA DE LA MAMA MEA!!!" I fly at him and we get into a little wrestling match, my mama screaming at the top of her lungs, and crying and begging my dad and me to stop she tried to physically stop us but my dad bucked her back to the wall and she made a pretty big hole in the wall that's still in our house to this day.

But when I saw her knocked out I became so much more...Stronger! I was so done with this monster! I was so done with his Bullshit!! So I gathers all my strangth and bucked him off me and I grabbed him from behind and threw his sorry ass out of the door!

I heard him screaming and pounding at the door, but I kept yelling back,

"LASA-MA SA MA
INFRUNT SI SA MA LUPT CA UN CAL!!" He would yell.

"DE-TE DEPARTE MONSTRU MERGETI SI NU VENI INAPOI!!!" I just yelled right back at him.

And when it stopped that had meant he left, I protected my mama...And protected my home.

Like how the moon protects the world from complete darkness and the stars protect the world by being small nightlights when the moon becomes new...I became a protector...The thing that cuts off the head of the guilty

A DarkAxe

Present time~

"Ever since then I've been in canterlot...I've had horrible nightmares that not about that night but...Just in general, like the dreams show something I need to protect...Like you." I say looking at him, he has tears in his eyes...Ah shit did I make him cry?

I wipe his tear away with my hoof and put it to his cheek.

"...Your turn..."

"Oh uh, y-yeah...Okay well." He studders and tell me about his cutie mark.

LightSpear's POV

"Before I was named LightSpear My name was SunnySide SunShine." Yeah my name was very long.

"Pfft, that's a lot of names." He says retracting his hoof.

"Y-yeah...With a name like that I might as well've been a Filly, but I was colt and every on ether called me Sunny or Shine, I preferred Sunny though." I say, " Now on to how I get this cutie mark, I don't really know if it's a spear but...You know, it could be something."

Back to the past

SunnySide

I just got done telling my parents that I was a coltCuddler...

Let's just say that it didn't end well, my parents used to 'love me', but two words
Ended it.

"I'm Gay"

...That became the words that broke my family.

"LIKE HELL YOU ARE!! NO COLT OF MINE IS GONNA BE A...COLTCUDDLER!!"

I heard my dad yell.

"Where...where did we go wrong."

I heard my mom sob.

My dad tried to...Beat the Gay out of me.

It didn't work, my mom to turn to me when I was about to leave, and she...she just...

Looked away without a word.

So I just left, because obviously I wouldn't change just because my dad gave black eye.

Yes my dad broke me wing.

So I was just walking...I walked into a forest where the trees block the sun but little spots of sun glow on the green grass
And the wind softly blows in my mane.

"..." I just sit under the sun spots ans

I felt the sun warmth that the sun gave me.

And that's when I got my cutie mark.

Which just seems like a sun in a pyramid but it looked like a spear, and I glowed in the shadows that surrounded me.

My light pierced the shadows and darkness like a spear...so I became...

A LightSpear.

Back to the present

"And that's how I got my cutie mark...It's weird I didn't do anything too exciting at all I just stood under the sun..." I say looking at the setting sun.

I feel a wing, that looks a lot like a dragon wing pulls me close, and it's softer than it looks.

DarkAxe pulls me closer with his wing and I...Didn't know how to react...But I feel so...

Safe.
