How Did I Get Here, Seriously?
Chapter 4: Welp, I'm Crushing On Twilight
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight walks up to you and smiles, saying, "hello, I'm Twilight Sparkle, what's yours?" She asks, despite the fact it's been said multiple times now.
"I'm Nate Collins, and I've been meaning to ask what's the book you were reading over there?" You inquire, which makes her smile a bit more.
"Oh, the book is called 'Tales of Magic Going Wrong', it's about real stories of unicorns that tried to use complex and powerful magic for selfish reasons, and how it went wrong. It's interesting as..." at this point, she starts speaking a bit too fast for you to keep up, and the others can tell she lost you, so Applejack taps Twilight's shoulder to gain her attention.
"Sugercube, I think you lost him..." she says, making Twilight blush cutely in embarrassment.
"Oh, sorry Nate, I got a bit too into what I was saying, uh... what books do you like?" Twilight quickly says, looking down for a moment.
"Well, I don't think the books I've read you'd be interested in, but I'm interested in books on history, science, that sort of thing. Oh, I love fantasy novels aswell!" You explain to her, which seems to excite her.
Overall, the party was great once you met Twilight and everyone else. You all got along well, and now you think you're on good terms with them. You thanked Pinkie for the party, and left after saying bye to all of them. You're walking with Twilight to the library, talking and joking about when the subject of where you came from comes up.
"So, Nate, I never did ask, where are you living in Ponyville? I haven't heard anything about a property being bought or sold..." Twilight inquires, looking at you as you near Golden Oak Library. God, you've missed the look of this place in the show, so much in fact you feel a sense of nostalgia as you look at it.
"Oh, I'm living in a house in the Everfree Forest" you say straightforwardly, which seems to startle Twilight a bit.
"The Everfree Forest? Nate, you know how dangerous it is in there, especially at night! Do you want to sleep in my home tonight instead of going through there?" Twilight says in a mix of a scolding and caring tone, you know, the tone when your mom catches you before you fall off the table after you were standing on top of it or whatever. You nearly brush off the concern before you think about the last part.
Sleeping in the Golden Oak Library, with Twilight Sparkle. Holy shit this is something your 5 year old self would dream of, you'd be a moron to not say yes!
"Oh, um... if it's fine with you..." you say, smiling at her as she nods.
"Of course. Infact, I have a guest room that I've been using for storage, but I can get that cleaned up. Come on, I'll show you inside." She explains, with you following her into the library. It has a wooden smell inside, but a pleasant one, like a maple tree, mixed with the smell of books. The inside looks amazing, exactly the way you thought it looked in the show. You follow Twilight downstairs to a door (you think leading to the room Spike got locked into during that one episode he turned into an adult), and she quickly tidies it up, clearing the bed of any boxes of books and fluffing the pillow.
Against your better judgment, you end up staring at her rear, which she does not notice. You notice how... nice it looks, how round yet curiously slim it is, how it looks it could be squishy to the touch, and how badly you want it- okayyy brain, too much horny for your own good. Jesus Christ, you're going to get arrested one day, you sick fuck.
Before things get awkward, you look away from Twilight's flank as she turns to look at you, smiling gently. "I hope the room isn't too cluttered, I just got a lot of new books ordered and i haven't gotten around to setting them up, so I've been keeping them here" she says, walking up to you.
"It's fine, um... you sure you're fine with me staying for a night?" You ask, looking down from her gaze.
"Of course, I can't have you going out there alone, anything could happen in the Everfree, and you don't have a horn or wings to get away from anything attacking you" Twilight answers, while also continuing with, "plus, I'd be making a bad first impression if I let you go in there without any protection so... tomorrow, I'm going with you in there to make sure you get home safe"
Twilight's face as she speaks slowly got more and more serious, which is honestly very adorable. You decide to test the biggest test in the entire world, the biggest test in the universe, perhaps! You lift your front right hoof, and poke her nose.
Twilight doesn't react immediately, but when she does she nearly goes cross-eyed looking at her now defiled nose. She then looks back at you, with a look of confusion.
"Um... Nate, why did you... poke my nose?" She mumbles, sounding nervous as she asks this yet also curious.
"Just testing to see what would happen, honestly. But, from where I'm from, it's a sign of... affection, as in you trust that per-pony" you explain, with Twilight staring at you and seemingly taking it at face value.
"Okay, that makes some sense. Where are you from anyway? And why move into the Everfree?" Twilight asks, and oooohhhh shiittt you already forgot your own backstory. Okay, um, backup plan commence: pull something from your ass and hope it works.
"Oh, well, I uh... I come from a very obscure part of Equestria, I wouldn't be surprised if you've never heard of my town or found it on any maps. It's very far North from here, not as far as Yakyakistan, but pretty far. It's called Earthville, due to the piles of dirt around it to protect the town from any invaders. And about the Everfree, uh... honestly, I came here to research the Everfree Forest, and to do that I decided to live in it. Plus, if I'm being honest... I didn't think I'd get friends in Ponyville, so that made it easier to make my decision" you explain, hoping that she won't see through your bullshit. She seems to have believed you, as she looks at you with sad eyes and hugs you.
"Nate, what ever made you think you wouldn't make friends here? Was Earthville just that bad of a place?" She asks, looking into your eyes. Aww shit, you may have overdone it. While it was true you didn't think you'd make friends here, you didn't want her to think Earth is a bad place, even if you're just telling a fabricated story of it.
"No no, Earthville is a perfectly fine place, we just had... a different mindset than most of Equestria. In Earthville, we sort of had to earn every friendship we had, and we had to work hard for everything we had. I didn't exactly mean I didn't think I'd make any friends, I just meant it'd take a long time to trust anyone here" you explain, which seems to work well enough, as Twilight's frown is changed from that to a look of understanding.
"I see... well, either way, you're free to stay here for as long as you need to, okay?" She says, making you tear up a bit. Nobody has really been this nice to you in... well, let's just say a long time. You hug Twilight tighter, letting the tears flow a bit. She seems confused for a moment, but then she hugs you back, comforting you.
After a good minute, you release her, and you both say goodnight to each other. You close the door to the room, and as the moon is high in the sky, you get into bed and fall asleep peacefully, your thoughts on Twilight Sparkle.
