Twilight drove on the way back to her and Flash's apartment. He had driven here and she was driving back. That was their relationship. No one was in charge, no one had final say, each was equal to the other. At least that's what she had always assumed. After tonight, she wasn't so sure. She had told him everything; shared her deepest thoughts and fears, all her struggles and he had been holding back his. It had stirred in her a swirling mixture of emotions.

Part of her felt betrayed. This feeling took two directions. One was the sense that he assumed to know what she could or should handle; that he had supplanted his judgement for hers. The second was that he might not have trusted her with his fears and problems or maybe was holding back as so he could use her fears and worries against her but she couldn't use his against him. But then why would he think she would even do that in the first place?

Another part was the feeling she let him down. That maybe she had gone on so much about her problems that he thought she didn't want to hear about his. Maybe he had tried but she just didn't see it? He should have spoken up, yes, but she should have asked as well. Didn't she assume his thoughts and emotions just as he had assumed hers?

Anger, sadness, disappointment, guilt; all swirled around inside. No, not swirl, but bubbled. The revelations were like a fire and her mind was the pot of water - boiling; each emotion a bubble created by the heat, coming up from the bottom to the surface and bursting just in time to be replaced by another. If she was going to gain any insight or come to a resolution she would have to find a way to turn down the heat and let her mind cool.

She willed herself to think back to when they first met. How she had fallen down and he had offered his hand to help her up. She remembered looking into his eyes; how she immediately became locked on them. There was a kindness, spirit in those eyes, a quiet nobility that she was drawn to. He was like a creature she had never seen on Equestria, none of these humans were, yet she was so taken and thought he was so handsome. When he took her hand it had felt like an electrical circuit being closed. It was as if they had always been meant to be together.

When she returned home with her crown she found that the only stallion she could find attraction to was Flash's Equestrian self. She felt lost and lonely in all the quiet moments. Luckily she didn't have many of those. It seemed like there was a new threat almost every week to be dealt with. Some were big, some were little, all took her mind off how lonely she was without him. Leaving the second time was even worse but those darn threats and problems kept popping up so she could always distract herself.

On her third and final visit; she couldn't bring herself to leave anymore. In her heart and soul she knew that this world, this man, was where she was meant to be. Luckily this world's Twilight wanted to take her place in Equestria so they swapped and not once, not one day, one hour, one second did she ever regret it. He had proven to be all she could have hoped for or wanted. He wasn't perfect, no one is; but he came as close as anyone could get.

These thoughts, those memories brought her back down to a more manageable simmer. She was still upset, with him, with herself; but the intensity was gone. She could now think clearly again (or as clear as possible). She knew what she wanted to do and what she was going to do.

Flash didn't have all those bubbling emotions that Twilight had. He felt two: a deep sense of guilt and overwhelming sadness. He had pulled the classic guy thing of bottling his emotions up because he thought that was more noble and presupposing what was best for Twilight with ever asking her. She was the best thing to ever happen to him. He knew she loved him with all her heart (as he did her), and that she would do anything for him (as well as all she had given up to be with him already); yet he still played the macho, he-man role. It was a betrayal of all their relationship was built on. He only hoped she would have mercy on him when they got home.

Twilight pulled up in front of their apartment building. It had originally been built as a single family home seventy years ago. It had changed hands a few times. it had been nice but most didn't like living so near a college (especially on the weekends). Eventually a local slum lord bought it and converted into apartment units for college kids who were desperate to get out of the dorms (even though most dorm rooms were bigger than the units he was renting).

Twilight put the car in park but didn't turn it off. She turn to Flash and said flatly, "I'm going up, I want you to go out and get some milk. We're low and we're going to need some for tomorrow."

Flash looked at Twilight confused. "Why don't we just go out and get some now, together?" he asked.

"Consider this your penance for not telling me how you've been feeling. Now go before I come up with something harsher."

Flash nodded. He was still confused but he knew a deal when he heard one. They both got out, Twilight went in to the building, Flash got in the driver's seat and took off.

***********************************************************************************************

Flash walked up the steps to the apartment with a half gallon of two percent he had gotten at 7/11. He was apprehensive as to what might happen when he stepped through the door but there was no avoiding it so best to get it over with, whatever it might be. He unlocked the door and walked in. What he saw made him almost drop the milk he was carrying.

Inside all the lights were off. Around the apartment were all the candles they owned were lit, bathing everything in a soft, honey yellow light. On their bed laid Twilight. She had on a purple, satin baby doll with black lace trim. Her hair was pulled back in a pony tail and she looked to be reading a book even though the light seemed way too poor for that. Her legs were crossed as not to give a peek of what she might have on beside her baby doll.

"Welcome back," she said in a sweet yet seductive voice. She placed the book on the night stand beside the bed. She then rose on her knees without giving even the slightest glimpse of what was underneath. She pulled her hair band off and her hair fell down around her face. She then pulled out the remote to their stereo and turned it on. Nijiro Chouchou by Wagakki Band started playing. "Put the milk down and come here," she said sweetly but firmly.

Flash placed the milk on the counter and walked over to Twilight who had moved to the edge of the bed. She put her arms around the back of his neck and he responded by placing his hands on her hips. She gave him a deep, passionate kiss. She then pulled back and said softly, almost a whisper, "Dance with me". Flash picked her up and the two began to dance to the music.

"So," he asked surprised but grateful, "what did I do to deserve this?"

"Nothing," she said with a smile and rubbed her nose against his. "In love, it's not about who deserves what but about what we feel we owe. Neither of us is perfect. We make mistakes, get caught up in our own stuff, head trips, and drama and forget about those around us. You should have told me how you were feeling but I should have asked as well. In love, we give the other everything we are and ever will be. I give myself to you, freely. All ask is for you to do the same in return."

Flash pulled back a little and looked down before summoning the strength to look her in the eyes. "I feel weak. I couldn't stop Chrysalis' henchmen from taking me, torturing me, killing the others, I couldn't keep her out of my mind, out of my body. Even earlier today, on our way to the reunion, I couldn't stand up to those jerks at the gas station. I can't protect you. I know you don't need it but I still feel so weak and small. I'm just a guy, a dude. I have nothing to offer you. You and your friends are so far above me, I don't know, I feel like the appendix to your life. I'm beneath you. I don't deserve you."

Flash waited for the backlash. He waited for Twilight to yell at him, to tell him he was being foolish, to say if he felt that way then to just get out but she didn't. She just looked at him and nodded sympathetically.

"As I said, it's not about deserve. Does anyone truly deserve anybody? To hold another's heart in their hands? I will say you do protect me. You protect my heart, my mind, my soul from myself and the world out there. When I'm with you, the world stops. When you look at me, that's when I truly feel like a goddess. You are my world Flash Sentry just as I hope I am yours."

"You are, without doubt or question," Flash responded on the verge of tears.

"And I didn't stop them either. Seeing that video of what happened to you and the others - yeah, I know exactly how you feel because I felt weak and helpless then as well. Eventually we will die. The greatest threat, death, we can not ourselves against; let alone each other. Until then I will hold you sacred and do all that I can to make sure that day is as far off as possible."

The two started kissing passionately, their hands incapable of covering the others body fast enough. Twilight stepped back just far enough to undo Flash's pants and pull out his fully erect member. She dropped to her knees and quickly took it in her mouth. Flash looked down as she moved her head front and back at an amazing pace, throaty moans of lust and delight coming from her as she did so. He gently stroked her and she pulled all the way back until it was out of her mouth, went down to the base and licked back up all the way to the head. Flash pulled her head back and she looked up at him with a pouty expression like she was mad because he stopped her.

He picked her up and sat her on the bed. He took two steps back and removed his clothes. As he did he could now see that Twilight wore nothing, no panties, no G - string, or thong under her lingerie. She slid the straps down her arms until they were completely free, allowing the top to fall down, exposing her breasts. She slid back as Flash climbed on top of her. They began to kiss again. Twilight could feel the head of Flash's penis moving around her vaginal lips, like a dog gently pawing at the door to be let in. It made her whole body burn with desire.

Flash worked his way down to her Venus mound. Not shaven but perfectly timed, the hair felt soft against his face ( the parts that weren't covered by his beard at least), as he began to lick her dripping wet slit. Twilight grabbed his hair and moaned loudly in delight. She allowed him to eat her out for a little while before she pulled his back in much the same he had down to her earlier. "I want you inside me," she said in breathless excitement. Flash began to get up and Twilight rolled over onto her stomach. "My ass. I want you in my ass."

Flash went to the night stand, pulled the drawer opened and pulled out the lube. He applied it to Twilights anus. First just on the outside then slowly hehe used his fingers to penetrate her and get it on the inside. She continued to moan and coo in shear animalistic pleasure. Then he got up on her, squared up, and plunged himself in.

Twilight screamed in pleasure. While she preferred vaginal sex over all, there was a special pleasure in anal. It was partly due to the taboo nature of it but it was also that when Flash was in her ass it felt like her whole body was full of his cock which made her lust shoot up a thousand percent. Flash also preferred vaginal sex as well but the ass felt so tight, it was like every millimeter of his penis was being stimulated simultaneously. As he thrust in and out, Twilights right hand worked her clit. The two locked in perfect rhythm as each tried to not only reach their climax but to have the other reach theirs as well. Flash reached around and cupped Twilights breast and pinched her nipples like she liked. Faster and fast they went, bumping and grinding their hips together, Flash working Twilight's nipples while she masturbated. Soon he began to feel that familiar pressure build up.

"Baby, I'm going to cum," he said in a hushed, breathless voice.

"Do it. Please. Cum in me," she begged in full heat.

No sooner than she said it, he lost it. He thrust on last time, going balls deep and let lose. As soon as she felt him cum, she came as well. They both just shook on the bed for a while in orgasmic bliss before collapsing on the bed. Flash slowly pulled out and Twilight rolled over on her back. The kissed and cuddled for half an hour, just lost in the enjoyment of each other.

Twilight stopped and rubbed Flashes cheek, smiling at him. "Promise me you'll never hide any of your feelings from me again."

"I do. I never want to lose you Twilight. Your my life, my world, my everything."

"You won't for you are mine as well."
