15 Minutes Earlier

Astral’s words lingered in your mind after dragging him back to the barracks a couple of days ago. You’ve been in Equestria for months already but never really looked into love. The ponies were all cute and easy going after they met you but none really suited your fancy. You overheard several stallions talk about their taste in mares and it didn’t help the conundrum you found yourself in. Even if you were interested in hoping back into the dating scene. You hardly knew any mares outside of the castle that weren’t guards, maids or the princesses so options were quite limited.

It took a bit of time to accept that you were stuck in magical pony land and even longer to start seeing them more like people than animals. Dating never really appealed to you until Astral told you about Lickity. Seeing them together made you realize how everyone needed love. Being a sad old man wasn't on your bucket list and won’t be any time soon.

Wouldn’t mind having a marefriend of my own though. You thought. She doesn't need to be anything special, just somepony that can be there to talk to.

The crescent shaped crystal hanging around your neck began to buzz and a deep blue glow illuminated from it.

Speak of the devil. Seems like a certain somepony heard my thoughts. Might as well see what she wants.

Back To The Present

The azure colored door that you’ve had the pleasure to be acquainted with yet again presents itself before you. It was a common sight to you, however it was cracked just a bit unlike most nights.

Slowly opening the door, you glance around the room to find Luna but she is nowhere to be seen. Her room was dimly lit with a few black candles scattered about in various places. The colors of the room were quite similar to your own since it was in the Lunar Wing of the castle. Luna’s taste in décor really was easier on the eyes than the flashbang of white and gold Celestia preferred.

“Dearest friend, have you ever considered finding yourself a marefriend?” Luna creeped out from the shadows giving you quite the spook. “All the work here at the castle must be tiring. Surely there's a mare out there that has given you a chance?”

A shiver goes down your spine as her words reminded you of how mere moments ago you were thinking about the same thing. “Can’t say there is anypony like that in my life right now. Closest one to me is Astral, but neither of us swing that way nor want to share his marefriend.” You chuckled at your clever joke.

“Then what kind of mare would you be looking for as a companion?” Luna moved closer to you out of curiosity.

Taking a moment to ponder upon her query, you began to start scratching your chin. “Hmm. She doesn’t really need to be anything special. Somepony who likes to relax and enjoy the quiet time we have together. Obviously she has to be okay with someone simple and laid back. But the most important thing has to be somepony who I can call my best friend.”

“Interesting… Well in that case I have a proposition for you, Would you like to be my coltfriend?” Luna’s face blushed with a dark bluish hue. “We get along quite well and I’ve been infatuated with you for quite some time now. I heard being straightforward is the best way to express the feeling of love.”

She raised her hoof before you even could open your mouth. “Now before you respond I just wanted to let out my genuine feelings to you. Ever since your mysterious arrival many moons ago I've always had an interest in you. At first it was mere curiosity at a new species but as time went on and the time spent with each other helped me figure out that it was love that I began to feel. You managed to get close to me without anyponies help, twas your own efforts that changed my view of you. You may speak now.”

All rational thought just flew out the window. Your own boss, one of the princesses of Equestria, just asked you out. On one hand you felt honored to know she feels that way but on the other, you don’t know how to respond to her. Luna was great company and one of the sweetest mares you’ve grown to know. How could a mere human become the item of her affection?

“Hey Luna, are you sure you’d want someone like me? I’m nothing special. Just a man doing his job.”

Luna puts her upon your shoulder. “If I didn’t like you, I wouldn’t put myself in a spot like this. You know how others are with me

She was right, it’s only been a few months since her return and ever since you became her assistant, you’ve mainly done the talking in all of the meetings so far. Everypony would just nod and stay silent in her presence.

“Fine you win. How could I say no to somepony like you? I’d be honored to be your coltfriend princess.”

“Huzzah! We now have somehuman to call our own.” Luna flew across her room with a smile that rivals the pink blur Pinkie Pie herself.

Another chill found its way up your spine as a sudden realization hits you square in the face. The weird alien thing and princess are a couple, what would the public think?

“Hey Luna. Are you going to, you know, keep us a secret like most royals do?” You ask with a tone of deep concern in your voice. “You’d be jeopardizing your public image after all. We both should know what scandals can do to a family. What you and Celestia share is special and I don't want to put a dent in it.”

Luna sauntered towards you and caressed your face with a hoof.. “I say let them. Why should I hide away the one I love simply because I'm royalty? They can think however they please about me. I am plagued with the repercussions of Nightmare Moon’s actions so their interest in anything related to me is quite low.”

“What about your sister? Will she have something against the two of us being together?”

“Celestia already gave me her blessing to be with you so she doesn’t mind your company one bit. She even said she already began planning out our wedding if we manage to make it that far.”

“Marriage?” you hesitate for a moment before continuing to speak, “It's not out of the question, but being a prince probably is something Equestria isn’t ready for yet. Don’t they have to go through years of training?”

“Then we shall teach thee the ways of being a prince worthy of ruling by my side.” Luna replied in an instant. “Should you succeed, your beautiful instructor may even give you a reward.”

“This better be one hell of a reward then if I have to devote my time into it.”

She leaned even closer, being mere centimeters from having her muzzle brush against your cheek and whispered in your ear. “Oh, it most certainly will be worth your time.”

“Sooo since I’m guessing you aren’t doing anything tonight… Would you like to go out on a date? I mean we don't have to if you want to or anything but if y-”

“But of course I’d like to spend the evening with my special somehuman. Oh, I’ve been imagining this moment for weeks on end now. Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to take me?”

“I think I know just the place. The owner and I are pretty good friends.. Hope you don’t mind someplace for the common pony. I consider it to be the best of the hidden luxuries of Canterlot.”

“So being by my side isn’t one of them?” Her bottom lip began to quiver. "Oh woe is me, my special somehuman doesn’t even consider me to be his number one” .Luna dramatically fell on her bed sighing loudly. “Whatever shall I do, not even being together for ten minutes and I’ve already lost my lover.”

“Okay fine the 2nd best place Canterlot has to offer. Does that make my little princess feel better now? Or do I have to bow and seek forgiveness from you?”.

Luna raised herself from the bed and giggled .“All is forgiven. Now let us depart on our first night of revelry together. I’m quite eager to see the place you speak so fondly about.”

Author's Note

So If you didn't read the blog post yeah I kind of got sidetracked by video games and a bit of internal conflict. This chapter was going to be a lot longer but I thought I'm an idiot an i can separate this into 2 different parts So the plan was set and I made them individual.

What's a good way to stop getting distracted by games and stuff I need some suggestions
Thanks in advanced.

I do plan on having some sort of about me little thing up and about at one point. Not sure when I'll do it. Might as well give people some information about myself.

That all being said the end is approaching slowly but surely.

3-6 Edit: I keep getting distracted lol. But for good reasons now actually besides games. Ive been going back and forth between this and another story im working on. So im going to get this done as soon as possible.

Being an Idiot,
Lunar Hymn
(Probably should stop doing this like its a letter at one point but then again it makes me feel special)
