Chaos + Night Sounds Just Right

Discord was examining himself in the mirror. His mane was combed nicely and his beard was nice and straight. He straightened his bowtie and smiled. "Gorgeous." He struck a pose, flexing the muscle on his lion arm and then walked out the door, ready to meet Luna.

What he saw made his jaw drop.

Luna had used flowered vines to do her mane. Silky roses dotted a fine white dress that was slightly see through. Her wings were wrapped with ivy , her bad one ruining the effect with it's being bent out of shape. Pale pink was smeared under her eyes, ending in a small swirl. She smiled at him, dark blue eyes guarded. "I'm ready."

Discord extended his talon to touch the dress and Luna slapped his hand away with a hoof. "I spent hours making this dress out of silk and spiderwebs, so don't touch it!" She snapped, but amusement brimmed in her dark blue eyes.

Discord rubbed his talon and snorted, but couldn't help but chuckle. "My dear, do you hear? You look lovely my dear." He swooned, lifting her hoof with his paw and kissing it lightly. He caught her eyes flash with joy for a fraction of a second and her cheeks blush pink, but it was gone in a heartbeat.

Luna pulled her hoof back and looked at him. "So where are we going?" She asked. She turned around and while her back was too him, he glimpsed her tail, which was braided with ivy and bluebells. She started walking in one direction, but winced when a twinge of pain came from her wing.

Discord tapped his foot. "You should've kept the bandages on." He snorted. "I'll take you there. Hold on!" He gripped her lightly and took off, ignoring her protesting growls. He made sure not to tear her dress as they came upon the destination. "Hang on to your hat!" He said and dropped her.

Luna fell with a shriek. "Discord!" She cried, then suddenly, she was flying. Butterflies. Hundreds of them. They were holding her and they flew her on their small bodies. Discord landed next to her, eyes brimming with amusement. She realized her jaw was gaping and shut it with a snap, eyes twinkling with embarrassment.

Discord chuckled when he saw the wonder of the Alicorn. She stared around, eyes wide and jaw agape. She seemed to realize her mouth was open and closed it, blushing a deep pink. Discord smiled, feeling his heart swell. "This is Butterfly Clearing, a small hidden place I found a few days before you arrived. I thought it'd be perfect." He explained.

Luna looked at him. "It's lovely." She murmured, still entranced by the beauty of the clearing. The stars sparkled above her head and the moon bathed the butterflies silver. "Discord... Why haven't you told me how to get out of the forest yet?" She asked turning to him and leaning forwards. "Because before I go, I need to do something."

Discord frowned. "You won't be able to go until your wing is healed and since you keep taking the bandages off, you won't be out for at least 2 months. I don't have the strength to take you back to Canterlot, even with magic," He sighed and closed his eyes as he went on, "I suppose you don't want to be around me, I'll take you back to my house now." He sighed again, then his eyes flew open in shock as he felt Luna's lips meet his.

Luna didn't think. When she saw him, start to move, she kissed him. She felt his muscles tense, then relax. She could almost hear the words in the trees, the leaves whispering in the breeze and the unspoken words passing through the wingbeats below her. She felt fearless as she pulled away and spoke the silent words,

"I love you."
