Loving Spike

~~One year previous~~

~~ 11:30 am Equestrian Secretary building~~

I walked through the halls, papers stacked high in my arms, “I’m gonna be late!” I said aloud. I started racing down the halls, almost knocking somepony over. “SORRY!” I called out as I went by. I arrived at the meeting hall, and opened the door, “S-sorry I’m la…”

My boss interrupted me, “I don’t care, Gleam, just take a seat.” I nodded and sat next to someone with green hair.

As my boss started speaking to me, the guy next to me smiled and looked at me, “Hey, don’t worry ‘bout it, he is like that. Oh, by the way, I’m Spike.”

I was red out of embarrassment, “N-nice to meet you, thanks for the info. Oh, and I’m Gleam.”

My boss continued his presentation, and he finished about 12:30. He dismissed us, and I walked back down the hall. Spike ran up behind me, “Hey uh, Gleam, right?”

I nodded, “Yeah.” He walked up next me.

Spike asked, “Did you go to Equestrian prep High school?”

I nodded again, “Yeah I did.”

Spike smiled, “Me too. I was wondering why you looked familiar.  We took business together for four years.”

I stopped, “Th-that was you!?” I had sat across the room for him, but I never knew his name. I had secretly admired him from afar.

Spike laughed, “Yeah, that was me.” My heart was pounding in my chest as he spoke to me… he was actually speaking to me! Spike continued, “So, hey, I was wondering if you wanted to have a cup of coffee after work at Sugar cube corner.

I nodded, absent-mindedly, “Y-yeah, sounds good.”

~~6:45 pm~~

I walked out of the building and down the street. My house was 20 minutes away, if I walked, but since I had my car, it only took about 7 minutes. I got home and quickly changed into something more casual. I changed into a pair of blue jeans and a creamy yellow shirt. I threw on a blue jacket and combed my blonde hair. I raced out of the house and got in my car. I drove to the café, and by the time I got there, it was about 7:15. I got out of the car and walked into the café, ‘I hope he’s still here… if he is even here at all.’ I walked towards the counter, it was empty, like most of the café. I walked towards the counter when someone tapped me on the shoulder. I yelped and jumped up.

Spike laughed, “Calm down, it’s just me.” Spike smiled at me. I sat down on a stool in front of the counter, and Spike sat next to me. We started talking about work. It was a Friday night, so the café was open a little longer.

I sighed and sipped my coffee, “Man… I just can’t believe that it’s you.” I said.

Spike smirked, “Ha-ha, yeah.”

The owner peaked out from his office, “Hey, sorry guys, but we’re closin’ up soon.”

Spike and I nodded. We finished our coffees and I paid.

Spike chuckled, “I feel bad for asking, but, mind if I spend the night at your house? My roommate has some… company.”

I nodded, “Oh, yes, you can stay over as long as you want.” I smiled as we walked out to my car. I opened the door for him and he got inside. I got in and started driving to my place. We got to my house a little later than I thought. By the time we got to my house, it was about 11:00. “Anything I can get you? Tea, coffee, a soda, water?”

Spike thought for a second, “Uh, tea, please. Semi-sweetened.”

I nodded, “Okay. Oh, and don’t be afraid to make yourself at home.” I smiled and walked into the kitchen. I but the kettle on the stove and the T.V. turned on. I called out, “What kind of tea?”

Spike called back, “Black tea, if you have it.” I got out two cups and two bags of tea, both black tea. I got out some sugar and put it in the cups. Soon, the kettle started to whistle. I grabbed a potholder and grabbed it. I poured water into both the cups and the water started turning black. I brought the tea out form the kitchen, “Hey, Spike I…” When I looked at Spike he was almost naked, he was wearing only his underwear. I blushed furiously.

Spike looked up, “Hey, Gleam, and thanks.” He smiled, not seeing my blushing. He got up and took the cup he thought was his. He took a sip, “Mhhm, thanks.” He said and I blushed worse.

I sat down next to him, “Y-yeah… n-no problem.” I said as I took a sip of tea. I was shaking a little bit as my heart was racing. I continued to sip my warm tea, the heat spreading through my body caused me to loosen up. The shakes had stopped. On the T.V. was Doctor Whooves, but a little thing on the bottom of the screen said ‘Next up, Derpy’s cooking corner.’

Spike laughed a little as he drank his tea, “Oh, man, I love this show.” Spike said as he leaned a little closer to me.

I laughed a little too, he was right, “Ha-ha, yeah.” I smiled. My tea was almost gone. Spike had gotten closer and closer. By the time the commercials had started, Spike was leaning on me.

He looked up at me, “I hope you don’t mind my doing this.”

I was blushing horribly, my cheeks looked like tomatoes, “N-no, it’s okay.”

Spike nodded, “Okay.” He smiled as he then rested his head on my lap. My heart was beating even faster, I thought it was going to explode. I had started running a hand through Spikes hair. I pulled my hand away and Spike spoke, “You can keep going if you want, I don’t mind.” I nodded and continued. I had finished my tea and set it down on the coffee table. By now, the next show was on.

I looked down at Spike, “Hey, we should go to sleep soon.”

Spike yawned, “Okay… hey, mind if I sleep with you tonight?”

I nodded, “O-okay.” I turned the T.V. off and then Spike got up off my lap. He stood up and I showed him to my room and he sat on the bed. I started stripping and Spike whistled. I blushed as I continued stripping, soon, I too was in my boxers. Spike got under the covers and I got under with him, and he cuddled up to me. “Goodnight Spike.” I whispered in his ear and kissed his forehead.

He smiled, “Goodnight, cutie.” He said and we both fell asleep holding each other.

~~Saturday, August 14~~

~~7:30 am~~

I woke up and Spike was asleep on my chest. I ran a hand through his hair once and then I snuck out of bed and got dressed in loose shorts and a thin shirt. I decided to make breakfast for Spike and I. I decide on waffles and bacon. I started the coffee maker and then got out the stuff I would need for the waffles. I got out a bowl and started on the waffle mix. I plugged in the waffle iron and got out a skillet. I started making the waffles, and soon I started on the bacon. It sizzled loudly and I smiled. Soon, Spike woke up and walked out of my room. He saw me in the kitchen, “Mornin’ Sweetie.” He said, causing me to blush.

I had already finished some waffles, “How do you like your coffee?” I asked him.

Spike walked up to me, “Oh, I’ll fix it myself.” Spike smiled and started making himself a cup of coffee.

I asked him, “How many waffles would you like?”

Spike walked up behind me and wrapped an arm around me, “I’ll have two, for now.” Spike said and walked away. He sat in the living room and turned on the T.V.

A young girl, about 20 was on the screen, she started speaking, “Today will be slightly cloudy, about 59 degrees, but tomorrow will be a nice sunny day, from high 70’s to low 80’s. And now to Score keeper for sports…” The camera switched and moved to a guy, a little older than the girl, caramel skin and dark brown hair. He went on about sports. I walked in with two plates of food. I gave one to Spike and set the other on the coffee table. I went back to the kitchen and went and got my coffee ready. I went back to the living room and sat down next to Spike. We started eating. We watched the news and started talking to each other. After we finished eating, I did the dishes and Spike helped me.

I took his hand and led him into my back yard. We sat down on two chairs, and looked at Spike, his emerald eyes sparkling. I was lost in his eyes for a moment, “Did you want to tell me something?” Spike asked me, giggling a little.

I blinked and then shook my head, “Oh, uh, yeah.” I giggled, “I was wondering if you uh… wanted to go out tomorrow?” I asked him blushing lightly.

He smiled and nodded, “Sure, sounds good.”

I smiled, “Okay… Is there anything you wanted to do today?” I asked him.

He thought, “We could walk around town, maybe go to the mall or something.” I nodded.

~~45 minutes later, about 12:00 am~~

I was dressed in dark blue jeans, and a light blue shirt with a cream stripe down the center. Spike had a green shirt and purple long shorts on. We started walking down the street, holding hands. We walked down the streets, looking at things in the windows. We would walk into a few stores, looking at some of the clothes and such. We bought a few clothes. We stopped at one store and I found a pair of green panties. I grabbed them and walked up to him, “Hey, Spike, look what I found.” I held them up.

Spike blushed, “W-wow…” He took them from me. “Lets get them!” He smiled.

I blushed, “Are you sure?” I asked. He nodded and we bought them. We had walked around town for the rest of the day. We got back to my house around 8:30. I looked at Spike, “Hey, Spike, maybe we should go and get your clothes.”

He nodded, “Yeah, sounds good.” He put our bags down in my room and he walked outside where I was waiting for him in my car. He showed me how to get to his house. He explained to his roommate that he was moving out. I helped him get all of his things, and we brought it back to my house. Spike fixed us dinner. We ate together on the couch and I did the dishes. We watched T.V. and went to bed earlier than last night. We cuddled up together and fell asleep in each other’s arms.

~~Sunday, August 15~~

~~8:00~~

Both Spike and myself where awake. We had already eaten and we had the stuff we needed for the picnic. We packed the car and drove out of Ponyville. We wend to Luna Lake. When I was a child, I had found a secluded spot. Now, I took Spike to that spot. We set up the picnic area. I sat down by the water, holding hands and leaning on each other. We continued talking, and we smiled and laughed. As the sunset I turned to Spike and looked him in the eyes. We got lost in each other’s eyes for a moment. But finally, I leaned fore-ward and so did Spike. We kissed, softly at first, but then, the kiss got deeper.

I wasn’t sure how long we kissed, but by the time I pulled away we where both panting.

I looked into his shining emerald eyes, “I love you, Spike.”

He looked back into my sapphire eyes, “I love you too, Gleam.”
