“Twi…Twi-force… Huff… I-I think we should finish our meal…”

Twi-force blinks a few times while catching her breath. “Ye-Yes, I think that – huoo- would be a good idea.”

As she calms down, you notice that her pupils are no longer full heart shapes. However, as she smiles up at you, you can see that the reflections of light in her eyes are still little hearts.

The rest of the meal is a lot less exciting, but every time you look up or share a mutual laugh there is a warm feeling in your chest that makes you content to just enjoy this time together.

You both put a valiant dent in the meal, however, there was still 2/3 left uneaten so you are given several to go bags that Twi-force teleports into your icebox at home before you go.

Twi-force insists on walking you to your door as she could not teleport you home.

As the crisp night’s air envelops you both under Luna’s Moon, you gently place your hand on Twi-force’s withers and look down to note her approvingly nuzzle into your palm. Your walk home is filled with a pleasant silence as you admire the surroundings and Twi-force respectively.

As your house enters your view, “So, Twi-force… Mind if I kiss you goodnight?”

You feel a jolt of tension flash through Twi-force’s body through your palm, then her body feels warmer and vibrates rhythmically. Worried you did something wrong you look down only to find your marefriend stifling laughter.

Twi-force wipes away a tear, “…Phtttpahaha~ I was trying the whole walk here to think of the best way to ask for another kiss a-and you just come out and ask me instead… hahaha…”, Her laugh is contagious, and you soon find yourself laughing along… that’s so like her.

In front of your stoop you kneel to be as close to eye level as you can. You look your marefriend in the eyes and she looks back. Without a word she closes her eyes and turns her head up slightly. You move in as you had done before, but now with enough confidence to close your eyes.

The world is still, the chill in the air is gone, and all your senses focus on your lips. This time, you both are taking your time. It’s not as aggressive, not as passionate in the conventional sense as your other kisses. Yet, you feel that this warmth, this love you both clearly feel is gently and firmly shared in that moment.

As you hesitantly separate, you feel some of that warmth, lingering within you.

“Whewph~… goodnight…” You say as you catch your breath.

Twi-force, for her part, merely giggles slightly and waves goodbye before trying to take a shaky step with hearts in her eyes. She fails to take her eyes off you and almost falls over. Then, she shakes her head and gives an embarrassing laugh before teleporting away with a pop.

A few seconds of laughing at your marefriend’s antics and you decide to go inside.

After checking to see that the icebox was indeed full of leftovers, you smile and go take a shower. When you get out and go up to your bed in the loft you notice a scroll on your pillow.

“To the bestest Coltfriend in the whole of Equestria,

Thank you for the amazing Hearts and Hooves Day! I will cherish it forever!

Love, Your Marefriend,

Twi-force Sparkle

XOXOXO
