New Chaos

Chapter 3: She can't like me... Oh shit she does

I started to wake up. The first thing that came back to me was my ability to feel, and I noticed that I was covered by something very soft, and that there was something warm next to me. The next sense that came back was smell, and I caught the scent of what I would describe as a summer morning in smell form. Then the hearing came back and I noticed that whatever it was next to me was breathing, so it was obviously alive. Last to come back was sight, and when I opened my eyes the memories suddenly came back.

Equestria, new Spirit of Chaos, friends, staying in Canterlot, staying in Canterlot in the Royal Palace, staying in Canterlot in the Royal Palace in Princess Celestia's room!!! OH SHIT!

The soft thing that was covering me was in fact the Princess's wing. And she was close to me. And by close I mean she was literally hugging me like I was a teddy bear. Dear gods this is awkward. She must be dreaming. Yeah, that's the reason she's hugging me like I'm a stuffed animal.

Or she likes you.

Dammit brain! Stop developing a personality parallel to mine!

Too late!

DAMMIT!!

After completely overlooking the fact that my brain now had a separate consciousness I started to contemplate. What if she really did like me? But that's not possible... right? She knew me less than two hours, sure I saved her life and got rid of the biggest threat Equestria had seen in millennia, but still.

On the other hand I was sleeping in her bed with her and she was holding my like a favorite childhood toy.

Wait, how did I even get here? I remember her telling me that I would be staying in her room, then nothing.

You blacked out from shock. Responded my newly independent brain.

…am I in a mediocre fanfiction or something? Because that's what it's starting to seem like, what with me now having a voice in my head.

Shut up. You are not allowed to break the fourth wall. Got that?

Ahhh! Who are you!? Wait... you're the author aren't you.

You will forget this conversation ever happened.

…what was I doing? Oh, right panicking over the fact that an immortal alicorn princess may like me. Wait... it kind of makes sense. I'm the only immortal in Equestria that isn't family... that I know of anyway. Oh shit she does like me. Now the question remains: do I panic or do I just go along with it.

Why not do both?

That's actually a good idea. Thanks brain.

No problem.

After the ridiculous amount of pondering, I heard a yawn next to me. I looked over and saw that Celestia was waking up.

“Uh... good morning?” I said.

“Ugh... good for you maybe.” she grumbled. The Princess of the Sun doesn't like getting up early. Who would have thought? “Anyway, how are you doing? You blacked out last night.” she said, concern in her voice.

Aww, she cares!

Dammit! Not now brain!

“I'm fine. I'm guessing that you dragged me to bed?” she nodded. “Thank you. Now could you explain why you're holding me like a teddy bear?” she blushed and looked away.

POV Switch: Omniscient Author

Celestia was blushing after that question. Just do what Cadence said. You can do this Celestia! She thought to herself.

“I- I like you Marc...” she said. He just stared, shocked by the admittance of something that he had already managed – barely – to accept as a possibility. “You're the first one to ever protect me. The guards are just for show, mostly. And every other immortal on Equis that isn't an enemy is family. Plus you're kind of cute...” she mumbled the last part. Marc just continued staring for a moment.

“I think,” he said. “That we should get to know each other a bit better first.” Celestia blinked in surprise.

“Y-you like me?” she asked.

“You are my favorite pony.” he answered with a sheepish grin. She grinned and pulled him into a full on hug, no words to express her happiness.

“And so events have been set in motion, thanks in no small part to a certain all powerful being. Enjoy and be prepared for future awkwardness, enemies, and annoying griffin ambassadors!”
