The dying sun shone in through the bay window to the humble apartment, bathing everything in the room in its orange and pink glow.
Sunset’s fingers softly traced Twilight’s jawline from her neck all the way to her chin where she then grasped it with her thumb and index finger, trying to keep her partner’s head rooted into place for a moment. This elicited a smile from the girl.
Sunset kept her light grasp on Twilights chin, staring up into her beloveds eyes. Twilight herself stared down into Sunset’s, the endless sea of teal captivating her as always. It was like staring deep into the ocean as the sun was slowly descending. The sunlight reflecting off of them only adding to the magic.
A perfect sunset for her to enjoy for what felt like all the time in the world.
“You eyes are like a sky full of stars, Twilight,” Sunset whispered, still being loud enough to hear only for the other girl. The words were only meant for her after all, nobody else, just her Twilight.
The smaller girl blushed and let a cheesy smile come to her face along with a snort which soon led the other one in the bed to start chuckling herself at the odd but familiar reaction from her girlfriend.
“Come here.” Sunset demanded, leaning up for a kiss. One that Twilight accepted, closing her eyes and melting on top of Sunset as they lay on the bed, one on top of the other.
The kiss seemed to last a whole eternity before they broke away and Twilight’s head hit the pillow as she opened her eyes, Sunset merely leaning up with a grin and a blush too great to hide.
“Another one~” Twilight demanded with a half lidded gaze and a small smirk.
Sunset reciprocated without another word, leaning down, placing one hand on Twilight’s cheek and connecting their lips.
Sunset was warm and despite being directly on top of Twilight, the bookworm felt so cold... Twilight’s thought during their brief kiss until her girlfriend pulled away.
“Sunset, how did you get on top-“
“I guess we’ve given up on the movie then?” Sunset asked, Twilight suddenly looking at the television which was playing what appeared to be a rom-com.
“Uhh yeah...” Twilight answered without thinking as Sunset’s face grew into a smirk.
“Good.” She replied before wrapping her arms around the smaller girl. Twilight decided to bury her face in the fiery hair, resting her chin on Sunset’s shoulder.
The mid day sun shining in through the bay window almost assaulting her eyes with glow. No matter where Twilight kept her eyes it always seemed to be in her face giving her a headache.
“Comfy?” Sunset asked, pulling away with a raised eyebrow.
Twilight pulled back from Sunset and adjusted her position so she was sitting more upright on the couch the two were sharing. Something was off about it though...
“So Ive been thinking about when we move into our dorm.”
“Yeah?” Twilight inquired, looking at her partner with curious but skeptical eyes.
“Yeah, I was wondering if there might be a chance of me getting my jacket back?”
Twilights eyes narrowed as she waited a few seconds to answer, finally deciding on something simple.
“I don’t have it. You do.”
Sunset laughed and bonked Twilight’s head softly.
“Have you gone crazy? You have it, Twilight!”
“No I don’t, what do you mean?”
Sunset rolled her eyes playfully and stood up. “Yeah?” The fiery haired girl walked to her closet and opened it up. “Then what about this, hmm?”
Twilight’s eyes were fixed on the open closet, her pupils dilating. The leather jacket in question was indeed in the closet, but the closet wasn’t Sunset’s. It was hers.
How was her closet behind that door. The door Sunset opened even looked like the regular one from the apartment, yet it was her belongings in the closet. Her clothing, her lab equipment, all of it except that jacket.
“How is that possible?” Twilight asked more to herself as she stood up, unable to walk forward however. She COULDN’T walk, it was as if something was keeping her rooted in place.
“Twilight~” Sunset sang raising her eyebrows to appear playful in the creepiest way Twilight could perceive.
Sunset’s face soon turned flat and cold, her gaze bearing daggers into Twilight’s very soul, only making the girl in question shudder in fear. She had never been so afraid of the one she loved before, only adding to the effect it had on Twilight. The world around her was no longer her girlfriends apartment, it was just a black void that surrounded the two, weighing down on Twilight like iron.
“I want it back.”

Twilight sat up panting heavily from the sudden fade to black and ringing in her ears. The ringing soon faded, but her breathing was still sporadic and hard to control as the terrified girl looked around. She could make out silhouettes and shapes that resembled her room. It was her room, her room in her home. Once she came to this realization, Twilight curled up in a ball and simply began to shake, trying to take deep breaths.
She hated dreaming of Sunset, finding ironic how much she adored seeing the other girl in her dreams. Now days behind her, Twilight solemnly thought to herself.
The frazzled girl let out a sigh and stood onto her feet before walking to her closet, her hand on the handle she took one more deep breath before swinging the door open.
The monster inside lay before her eyes, a black leather jacket one or two sizes too big for her hanging on a hook so casually with the rest of her clothing. Twilight looked at it for only but a minute before closing the door softly and climbing back into bed.
This would be all the sleep she would get tonight, and Twilight knew that, wishing it to be untrue. Still she would curl up in bed, lay her head down, and try again.
