Crystal Love (Shining Armor x Thorax)

(Author here: Hi, I'm Blu. Now, Before you think Thorax is a minor in this fanfic. N O, He is not. My headcanon for Changlings is they grow up 3 times as fast as Ponies. Thorax was born 9 years before this story, Hence making him 24. Changlings normally learn about intercourse and more adult things around 30-33. Shining is 28 and Cadence is 30-31. Mane 6 is about 18 and Spike is about 8-9. Hope that clears things up. Back to the story!)

"Shining?" I asked hesitantly.

Shining stood over me. I turned a bright blue from blushing so hard. I closed my eyes as I felt vulnerable to anything. But What Shining did was not what I expected.
He hugged me.

"You didn't think I'd actually have sex with you without permission? It's been almost two days anyways so it would've been too soon. I can say though, I'm comfortable with this relationship to keep going. Now, You said you wanted to rest, right?" Shining explained.

I had only ever heard of what 'sex' is from Pharynx and I was still and am still too young to learn about it.

Shining sat down next to me and handed me my food and started eating his. I was dumbfounded by what just happened. I sat up and looked at Shining. He looked embarrassed. I wanted a way to comfort him but I wasn't sure how.

'Now, If someone you're together with needs comforting. Here's some tips; Kissing them to show how much you care, Hugging them, Telling them how much you care, or even all three. Hope these help Thorax.
~Twilight'

That's it! You really are helpful Twilight. I saw Shining was still embarrassed from the whole exchange. So, I followed Twilight's advice. I Hugged Shining, Making him jump, which I felt bad for to be honest. Then I spoke.

"Shining, Even though it's only been almost two days, I can say that I love you. You're the only pony that's been able to make me this happy in forever. I know that you and Cadence are married and eventually we'll have to go our separate ways but I just want you to know that…" I stopped as I looked his cheek.

'Whew, Here goes nothing' I thought as I pressed my lips against Shinings cheek.

It wasn't very long as I got embarrassed by it but I still held him tightly. He seemed shocked but also flustered at the same time.

"I love you too, Thorax" Shining said as he looked at me.

Shining gave me a very adorable but genuine smile as he hugged me back.

I yawned, "I'm gonna go get some rest"

I let go but Shining didn't. "Shining, I need to go sleep for a bit"

Shining gave me puppy dog eyes. 'Dang it, Not those'

"Want me to stay here and rest?" I asked.

"Yesss" Shining said as he pulled me back into bed.

I blushed heavily as I was against his chest. He was really…
Really…
Warm.

~~Shining's POV~~
Thorax fell asleep on me. He's so cute when he sleeps, so I'm not complaining.

I slowly laid down, hoping not to wake him and shut my eyes. This is one of the best things to happen to me. He is one of the best things to happen to me. I want this to last forever, but I know Cadence will eventually get jealous. I just hope Thorax would take it easy as he knows the same.

~~Cadence's POV~~
I entered mine and Shinings room, Only to find the two Lovebirds asleep on the bed. I can't get mad since Thorax's room is still being remade but why on the bed. We have a couch after all. I left so as not to disturb them as they looked very peaceful, Especially Thorax.

"Princess, A blizzard is coming from the west!" A Guard pony called out.

"What? Is the Crystal Heart okay?" I Asked quickly

"It's safe, But what's the source of it, if it's not Sombra?" The Guard Asked.

"I don't know, I'll have Twilight and-" I was cut off.

"Hello, Princess" A familiar voice said.

"Chrysalis" I said bluntly

"You remember me, Perfect" I heard the Changling queen say before everything turned black.
