The Date

Her house is really nice, I thought as I walked through her doorway to be greeted by her warm fireplace and plush rugs. Though honestly I really should not have been surprised, partially because of her great furnishing taste, but mainly since I was here almost every other week just hanging around and talking, after all we were best friends. I sighed, thinking that we might never be more than that.

"So," she said softly while sitting down in one of her chairs, "What's the matter?"

I tried my best not to make eye contact, "Have you ever really liked somepony, like for a lone time, but been so afraid of losing them as a friend that you never tell them, and then they say something that reminds you that you're just friends and you get a sort of mini depression and then you feel bad for making them worry about you?"

"Star?" she asked, "Is there something you want to tell me?"

I bowed my head, almost out of shame. "Yes."

"Well," she replied, "Out with it then!"

"Well, we have been friends a long time, but I've always wanted to be more than that."

"Like best friends?" She asked.

"No, like...... Cloudy, I, well um, I love you!" I nearly screamed out the last words.

She looked stunned. Crap, I kicked myself mentally. Had I been too fast? No that couldn't be it, right? Then I felt her on me, so fast that I didn't know what was happening. Was she... crying? Oh shit, what have I done? But she was hugging me too so did that make it okay? Then she spoke.

"You have no idea how long I have waited to hear those words."

Now it was my turn to be shocked. What did I just hear? Then I felt myself have the biggest mixture of feelings anypony has ever had. I was happy, excited, stunned, angry, relieved, sad, and aroused all at the same time. I could only hope that she felt the same.

"So you like me back?" I asked shakily.

"Oh no," she quickly responded, "I love you back."

Then the kiss happened. My first kiss, with the pony I loved, how could this get any better? Then I felt a wave of warmth wash over me. Oh, like that.
