This is the only Chapter

Author's Note

Here it is past 1 a.m. on 4/24/22 in the morning and I was asleep but now I am awake with a story idea in my head. The world's asleep and it's a good time to write.

I finally find my opening scene for this story I have been writing for the past couple of days. Awesome! The first two paragraphs are the ones I wrote at 1 a.m. My insomnia is coming in handy!!

This is the only Chapter

Snuggle At Night
"This is so unfair." Rarity declared and then added. "A beautiful warm night and I can't sleep." While rolling around in her large bed. Luna's moon was high in the sky and Rarity knew that it was way past midnight. "I could go for a late-night stroll by myself."

She got up out of bed and made sure not to step on Opal as she walked past her laying on the floor. "Am I the only one up?" She wondered opening the front door to greet the warm night air.

A windswept in through Ponyville and picked up her mane. She had to turn her head to keep it out of her eyes. Her gaze then fell on Friendship Castle. Where up in one of the many rooms she spotted a light on. Most of the rooms had their own balcony that anypony or dragon could walk out onto. “I wonder why Spike’s up?” Rarity felt her curiosity being pulled along by the wind as she trotted over to the side of the castle where the light was. She stopped just under the window; it was on the second floor.

Spike had a quill in his claw and a dream on his mind. The same dream he’d had for years, being older he knew that he was that much closer to finally fulfilling that dream. Spike put his quill down and rotated his wrist to get it to relax. “Late night writing…” He said blowing outa breath. Getting up he stood on all four he stretched out his body and flexed his wings. “Fresh night air, sounds so good.” He said to himself and walked out and stood on the balcony and took in a deep lungful of the warm night air. Starts dotted his eyes as his head spun. He put his claws on the balcony and happened to glance down, with his night vision from being a dragon he spotted somepony down below the window. “Who…”

Rarity glanced up and spotted Spike, her heart paused for a second, and the moonlight showed down on him. Oh…my…I wasn’t…

Spike asked when the pony looked up and the wind caught the long flowing dark purple mane. “Rarity?”

“Um…high Spike, beautiful evening for a walk.” Real smooth their Rarity.

Spike smiled at the thought. “Want some company seeing as your out here all alone at night?”

“I’m not going to object, I just happened to come over here, guess the wind was guiding me-” Or something else, perhaps. She felt her heart squeeze at that thought. She put her hoof over her mouth as Spike lifted off the balcony and landed beside her. His large, massive wings looked all the more imposing making him look even bigger than he was now.

“What was that Rarity?” I heard what you said, I just wonder if you’re willing to repeat it? He asked noticing the slight blush on her cheeks.

“Um…thinking out loud as it were darling.” Rarity admitted, she batted her sapphire eyes at him.

Spike grinned at her. “Really? Is that what I heard before I flew down to you.” He watched her cheeks turn a brighter red. “Forget that dragons have good hearing?”

Busted… Rarity grinned at him. "For a moment darling.” She blew out a breath. You…um…wouldn't want to come back to my place would you Spikey?" She tilted her head to the side. “I could use some late-night company.”

“When have you ever heard me say no to you Rarity?”

Together they walked back to Carousel Boutique Spike held her front door open letting Rarity walk in, he used his tail to close the door behind him as he entered.

With Spike with her inside Carousel Boutique, she felt herself relaxing more. It felt more like home with him being there. I am just overthinking this. It's my lack of sleep.

Spike could feel a sense of peace inside the Boutique, his mind was quiet now, and he wasn’t still thinking about the romance story he’d been writing before Rarity showed up out of the blue at Friendship Castle.

An hour had passed by, and Rarity had gone off to bed. Spike had insisted on sleeping on the floor beside her bed. Rarity had given him a choice. Spike was deep asleep, and, in his dream, he found himself floating but not with the use of his wings then he landed on something soft and warm.

Rarity felt a weight pressing down on her. "Um...Spikey, darling I am not a pillow." Rarity cracked an eye open and noticed that he was lying across the top of her back. With his lower half a little sideways. She could feel the heat of his body and it felt better than any comforter she'd ever owned. His head was covering one of her ears while one of his arms lay close to her neck.

"But you make such a nice soft comfy pillow.” He said running his claw along her back to smooth out her fur. “Besides you're the one who used your magic to pull me up onto your bed," Spike said, he'd been woken up by the feeling of being weightless. At the time he could tell that Rarity had been asleep. He let out a yawn.

.“I was asleep darling.” Rarity reminded him. She bit back a shudder at the feeling of his claws running down her back.

“Believe me I could tell,” Spike said with a slight laugh and then added. “You could always use your magic to move me.” Spike reminded her

“Seeing as you are bigger now you are heavier for me to lift.” That sounds more like an excuse, than an actual reason. You could just roll over and he’d slide right off. Her inner voice echoed. "Besides, I can't help it if I got carried away in my dream that you woke me up from." I’m not objecting to how warm he feels. Inwardly she was smiling at a thought. I could see myself getting used to this. I can’t tell him that…can I?

"Rarity, you’ve gotten stronger with your magic,” Spike said with a smile. “A dream huh?" He asked watching Rarity's face start to turn a few shades redder. "Also, who woke up who here?" He grinned and asked. "Were you…dreaming about me?" Spike felt his heart starting to beat faster and he was sure that Rarity could feel it too.

Rarity tried her best not to smile yet she could feel the heat on her cheeks. She knew not responding would be a dead giveaway. "I...um-" Was all she was able to say at first. "Alright yes...yes I was." She could feel a strange thumping sound on her back. Spike’s heart…

Spike was already grinning from before. He found it fun catching her off guard. "I could tell. I know you quite well by now Rarity."

“I’ve noticed. Just like I can feel your heart beating a bit faster now. A bit nervous are you, darling?” This could turn out to be fun. She realized.

Busted. Spike’s inner voice echoed. “Can you blame me? I always find my heart racing whenever I am around you or even when I think about you.”

Rarity opened her eyes, and her mouth opened a bit. She gazed into those emerald eyes of his and found her breath catching in her throat.

"Darling..." She could feel her heart squeezing at what he said.

"I just want to be honest." He blew out a breath and rubbed his chin on hers. "I don't want to hold back anymore. It's driving me crazy."

"Spikey..."

"I mean everyone already talks like we're together anyway," Spike said.

"Spikey..."

"I feel like we are-" He heard Rarity start to giggle and felt her unicorn magic keep his mouth shut. Her head lifted and turned to face him; her lips were a breath away from his.

Spike noticed the look in those sapphire eyes and the smile on her face.

"I'd like to say something, darling." Rarity said, she released him from her hold. When am I ever going to get a better opportunity than this one?

"Wha...I..." Spike stammered as Rarity closed the gap between them catching the dragon by surprise. His eyes widened at first, his dream of the castle came rushing back to him, but this was no dream. This is real.

Rarity could feel Spike's body relaxing more as he leaned into the kiss and let out a sigh. She finally broke the kiss and took in a deep breath.

Spike could feel his body and it felt like mush. “You…can say that…more…often,” Spike said shaking his head.

“I figured you’d agree darling, I was hoping to keep you for as long as you’d want to stay.”

Spike smiled and laid his head back down on her head, he let out a yawn. “You know my answer.

Rarity smiled and watched him from the corner of her eye as she laid her head back down on, her hooves, she could feel sleep finding its way to her again. “Good night, darling.”

“Night, Rarity.”
