How It's Going Now..
A day after the funeral, Midnight has been trying her best to cope without her brother-in-law..yet she failed to do so. Michael was the older brother she never had..he was always there when she needed him....
Midnight sighed as she leaned back on the couch, scrolling through Instagram (she and Fire Pit have a joint account: @MidFire_Official💜🧡)..
"You doing alright, Midnight?.." Fire Pit spoke with a gentle tone, hand on her shoulder.
"Yeah...life isn't just the same without Michael.." Midnight slumped on the couch in grief. Fire Pit's heart ached for her...she doesn't deserve this pain..NO ONE does..he gently embraced Midnight, giving soothing rubs/pats on the back at the same time.
"I know, babe...I know it's hard to cope, but hey..at least you've got me..." Fire Pit reassured her.
"I suppose you're right..."
These two have been together for 4 months now, yet they make it seem like they've been together longer! That's when you know their love for each other is so pure...
"....hey, mind if I ask something, Fire?.."
He turned to look at her. "Sure, what's going on in that pretty mind of yours?"
Midnight was silent for a few moments before replying..."...what would you do if I wasn't alive?"
That's a damn dagger to the heart, he thought. "What?...why are you talking about thi-"
"PLEASE. Just...answer the question...." Midnight's voice cracked and broke at the same time.
"Well...I...I wouldn't be complete without you, to be honest. I wouldn't even DARE to find another woman because you are the only one that could ever make me feel WANTED and LOVED...."
Midnight froze up at the words 'wanted' and 'loved'...
Fire Pit held Midnight's hand. "I wouldn't be able to live a single second without hearing your voice...your sweet voice...heck, if you died before ME, I would just kill myself just to join you...! I love you to bloody bits, Midnight. Don't EVER forget that...." He spoke with purity in his voice....he MEANT it.
Midnight slowly shifted closer to hug him firmly. "Wow...I...I didn't know you felt that way..."
That's what eventually broke the dam. Fire Pit cried into Midnight's arms, with his girl giving soothing pats/rubs on the back (Basically a role reversal if you would.)
These two are practically two missing puzzle pieces or two bits of a magnetic necklace. Once you join them together, no separating them. AT ALL.
The end....?
It was about near Halloween season, Midnight was configuring the costume she was going to wear and if she had the correct materials for....Bonnie from Five Nights At Freddy's! Yes, she likes the FNAF games, even if she feels like a near heart attack happens whenever a jumpscare happens....
PING!
"Huh?..what's this notification?.." Midnight muttered as she picked up her phone to see said notification....only to realise it wasn't a particularly good one...
'Dear Midnight Sparkle, We are deeply sorry and apologise 1000 times after we tell you this...your brother-in-law Michael has unfortunately passed away from level 2 cancer and leukaemia. Again, we are deeply sorry for your loss.
The Canterlot Hospital.'
Midnight stood in silence for a few moments before sitting down as a few tears spilled from her eyes. "Michael...? Dead..?!" She spoke with a broken voice in utter disbelief. "T-this can't be happening....IT JUST CAN'T!!!!!!!....."
Midnight's breathing suddenly started to become uneven, shaky breaths with shaky palms..worse than an earthquake...
The door opens. "Babe! I'm back! Sorry it took so long, the boss held everyone back for ONE minor spillage. And-" Fire Pit froze in place. "Hey...hey, what's the matter?.." He spoke in a gentle tone as he approached Midnight.
"I...I just...found out...that my brother-in-law..is...is...-"
Fire Pit's eyes widen in horror. "He's dead?..."
"Did you...find out today?..." Fire Pit asked as he gently rubbed Midnight's arm.
Without thinking, she hugged him tighter than a lifeline, letting out aalllllll her emotions out into his chest.
Now getting the signal, Fire Pit held Midnight close, rubbing her back in soothing motions as he did so. "Shh shh shhh...it's ok, Middy...let it out..I know someone you love having to die isn't your main thing.."
15 minutes of crying, shaky breaths and trying to steady her heart rate later..Midnight eventually calmed down.
"There we go...is that better, hon?"
"Much..thanks, Fire."
"Anytime, babe. Anytime." Fire Pit stated before gently kissing Midnight on the head. He always knew how precious she was the first day they met, with how she was getting picked on relentlessly was just too much. And since that day, he's been caring, careful, sweet, gentle and tender to her ever since. The fact that they're both immortal beings just makes this 10 times more adorable.
She sighs. "What would I do without someone like you?.."
"The REAL question is: What WOULDN'T you do?~" Fire Pit joked, making Midnight chuckle.
"You're an absolute dork, ya know that?"
"Says YOU, Middy. You're too adorable to the fact I can't resist the urge to squeeze the LIFE out of you!" He argued playfully with a sweet tone...like he always has done when he's around her.
"You absolute sweetheart..." Midnight remarked.
"Heh. C'mere you.~"
With the panic attack, grief and sadness aside, the two lean in and share a tender kiss...
It was a week later since Midnight found out the news of her brother-in-law's unfortunate and untimely passing, and his funeral was being held. Fire Pit was by her side the entire time (He's not a big fan of funerals himself, but for Midnight...he's gotta stay strong).
"You ok, Middy?"
Midnight nods. "Yeah..I don't think my mom is though..
Midnight's family stood near the casket, all in floods of tears. Here they are as follows:
Mom = Marcia
"WHY?!...WHY DID HE HAVE TO GO SO SOON?!....HE WAS SO YOUNG!!!!!" Marcia exclaimed, one that seemed in a way Eastenders taken over the top would sound like.
"There there, sweetie...I know..." Mark reassured her best he could.
Max looked over and saw...."Sis?!"
Midnight perked up. "Maxy?!"
See, these two were the realio dealio, Midnight and Max were two wholesomely adorable troublemakers, troublemakers that also love to give affection...a lot. Runs in the family in clingy nature, ammiright?
Max hugs his big sister tight, with Midnight returning the embrace. "How have you been?? I literally thought you wouldn't show!"
Midnight chuckles softly. "Just because Michael was a BROTHER-IN-LAW doesn't mean I didn't care about him."
Fire Pit's heart melted at the sight. "Aww...stahp it, you're making me go all teary eyed again!!...~"
Max looked over, confused. "Who's he?"
"Oh! My deepest apologies. This is Fire Pit, he's my boyfriend."
Marcia popped out of nowhere. "ISTHATMYDAUGHTERTHATIJUSTHEARD?!"
Midnight jumped a little before sighing. "Mom! Don't scare me like that!"
"Sorry! How's my precious little woman doing?" Marcia asked as she CAREFULLY examined Midnight...nothing changed...ish. She actually had a smol scratch turned into a scar on her left cheek.
"Good, I assume you're making sure to keep the little devil in check?"
"HEYYYY! I am NOT a widdle devil!!!" Max playfully pouted, but no real malice was used.
Fire Pit smirks. "Seems like I now know where she gets the playfulness from..."
Marcia nods. "Yes, my dear. I take it you're the one that has captured my daughter's heart?~"
"As a matter of fact, I am, Ms. Sparkle.."
"Wow, that's a lotta family members. I question how Midnight handles it all." Fire Pit spoke, surprised.
"The strong muscles aren't for show, ya know!" Midnight spoke, giving Fire Pit a gentle nudge.
Fire Pit feigns injury. "Curses! I hath been woundeth by my beloved!!!!~" Before falling into Midnight's arms dramatically.
Midnight scoffed playfully. "Get up, ya big drama queen. Everyone's starin' at us.~"
"OnlyifIgetasnugglesessionafterthefuneralbabe.~" Fire Pit whispered cheekily.
She sighs. "Fiiiinnnneeeee. "
"Yay.~"
"I'm lucky you didn't use the puppy eyes on me." Midnight smirked.
Fire Pit smirked back at her. "Careful, one more quip outta YOU, and I might have to do something to you later...~"
What could that 'something' be? Only time will tell..
