Neighsay, it has been two years...

Tempest... It has been so long

Why won't you just get used to being somepony we loved?

Neighsay is all I could think of. I loved his smooth, slick, very dark grayish blue mane, his light grayish blue complexion, and his fine, pretty, dark moderate cyan eyes. Everytime I see those handsome eyes meeting in my direction, I felt like in heaven. He may be strict and stubborn to some ponies, but I found him an annoying, which I'm okay with it, and very unique guy.

I love Tempest by many comfort factors, basically that very dark desaturated magenta flesh, the fresh and strong pink mohawk, and those fine, reflecting beautifully, eyes that were related to mine, but a bit more moderate. Her personality suited her, and she was cool as a tree, adorable like a bunny, and a very fine hummingbird. I mean, every stallion deserves to be reliable with their ladies, but who is mine? I thought that I have finally found that one somepony.

When it comes to me and Neighsay, I thought my bondings with my other friends would just wither and decay like a weak leaf. It is whether I choose a formerly stern stallion who starts to have a sweet spot, or a little hedgehog who was in my side for years, two childhood buddies who I have been galloping around on, and a group of friends who were the reasons of my redeeming.

We could be somehow related, right? Or we have something that would like...make a plot twist.

We already knew each other's feelings, and it made as closer and closer when...

Chancellor Neighsay...

When I asked her for a break.

While Tempest and Grubber walked from his room, Grubber saw a great blush and a great smile.

"Lookth like thomepony enjoyed her time with her friend, did you?"

Tempest looked at him, but not a word came out of her mouth, but the corners of her lips were slightly raised.

"I'll take your thmile ath a yeth"

"Of course..." Tempest said with cute, adorable, averting eyes.

"Lookth like you're hiding thomething very fithhy, tell me or elthe I might be able to make a plot twitht on thith one."

"Okay, fine, fine, fine, I have feelings for him!" Tempest didn't knew there were guards listening to their comments and conversation. Tempest and Grubber then turned their eyes to the guards paying attention to the conversation. They all left with a nervous smile.

"Now that he knowth...what wath hith reaction?"

"He told me first that he liked me, then I did accepted it."

"Well, that ith more interethting plot twitht. Better than the plot twith we thaw in a thtory when thith boy liketh muthic even though hith whole family banned muthic, ethpethially the guy who wath known for muthic, and thought he, himslef, thought he wath hith dethendant, but then when he went to the afterlife alive, that dude wath his great-great-grandfather'th foe, and that thtranger he met wath hith real one and the one who made the muthic. That fake guy just poithoned his ancestor. I know I'm bad at thummarithing, but still, yourth ith a better plot twitht. " Grubber said, which made Tempest roll her eyes in annoyance.

"Wait, I shouldn't have come yet to his room for going back to our area, bethideth, you just learned each other'th feelingth for jutht a thecond, and thtopped for another couple thecondth. Tho... yeah, It'th better to thay with him ath long ath you like. I feel like he needth thome company from a truthted friend of hith."

"You really think so?"

"Of courthe! You alwayth feel comfortable when he ith the one who gave you company, tho pay him back with the thame behavior."

"Thanks for the advice."

"You will thurely feel the love tonight!" Grubber said, as Tempest rolled her eyes once more, and proceed to Grubber's advice. When she came back to the place she last went to, Neighsay's room, she knocked on the door. There wasn't an answer. After a thrice of times, Tempest opened the door, and saw something she didn't expect.

She saw Neighsay... but he was different. He wasn't wearing anything and his light azeruish gray coat was left uncovered, and still had the bandaged Tempest patched up earlier.

"W-Why y-you didn't a-answer the door?"

"Well, you, shouldn't have opened it."

"You should have just locked the door. It is very... umm... how can I describe this?" Tempest panicked at Neighsay's appearance, then Neighsay got near her. This made Tempest's cheeks feel like they were warming up.

"Another coffee would be nice, want some?" Neighsay asked her, then a nod was her response. She then removed her poncho and scarf, and all that was remaining was her black, skin-tight, sleeveless tunic. She then put them beside Neighsay's bed. She saw new books, and stare at them for 10 seconds. After those 10 seconds, there was a kiss in Tempest's cheek, which made her chuckle at Neighsay, whose lips were slightly raised.

They then stand by the balcony and had a talk.

"Why did you came back? I mean, was that a goodbye to me?" Neighsay's eyes were looking down on the floor instead of being focused on Tempest's light tint eyes.

"It wasn't goodbye, Chancey, you know that." Neighsay then had a flushed, blushed face, and now the eyes were focused on her.

"Oh, shit, sorry, sorry, sorry, Oh my Celestia! What in Equestria did I said?-"

"It's alright, it's alright..." Neighsay put his hoof on her chin and slightly raised it so she can focus on him.

"First, Chancey, huh? It is kind of cute, in my opinion, and second, I know it wasn't a goodbye."

"Oh, thank Celestia..." Tempest was relieved. Neighsay then put a scarf around his neck, and Tempest knew it was familiar. It wasn't even her scarf at all!

"Who...gave you this scarf?" Tempest askes him.

"My younger brother, but he told me my mother wore this before she passed."

"I'm so, sorry for your loss, even though it is too late. How did she even died?"

"She died hours after I was born. She had severe bleeding so much. My father blamed me I was the reason why his wife died. He loved her so much, and she was not replaceable." Neighsay looked down, and Tempest saw he almost poured out a tear in those sad, poor eyes. But still, she recalled Grubber's advice to her.

You alwayth feel comfortable when he ith the one who gave you company, so pay him back with the same behavior.

She then hugged him liked how he hugged her 2 years ago in their first fight as friends . He knew he was never alone, no matter how far or close they are.

"By the way, why did you ask about the scarf?" Neighsay asked her.

"Because...It looked...very...familiar, I've seen it before..." Tempest said, which made Neighsay in shock.

What do you think will happen between them???

Author's Note

Some reminders :3

1. Tempest's captions are darker and might not be visible, so make sure your FimFiction page is not on dark mode :)
2. Plus, the colors I used are not available in FimFiction, and about the description of Neighsay's coat, were tints and shades of blue according to my researches.
3. The break Neighsay mentioned was the one that happened in Space Between
