>Be Anon.
-
2.
>Once a human, now a batpony.
-
3.
>Something something 'magical portal,' something something 'Stuck in magical horseland.'
-
4.
>Whatever.
-
5.
>You’re living rent-free in a castle and you’ve got a stable job.
-
6.
>Specifically, Night Guard for Princess Luna.
-
7.
>Cool armor, cool wings, cool job.
-
8.
>Except you have one very unusual daily assignment.
-
9.
>Every day, without fail, you’re ordered to report outside Princess Luna’s bedroom at exactly noon.
-
10.
>Not to guard the door.
-
11.
>No, you’re there for... nap duty.
-
12.
>Luna’s nap.
-
13.
>And apparently, you (and only you) are a required ingredient.
-
14.
>You're still in full armor, standing there like an idiot.
-
15.
>Noon sun shining through the tall stained-glass windows.
-
16.
>You could be asleep in the barracks like every other night guard.
-
17.
>But nope.
-
18.
>Here you are.
-
19.
>Waiting to be... what?
-
20.
>You're not even sure anymore.
-
21.
>You shift awkwardly, trying not to fall asleep on your hooves.
-
22.
>And then you hear her.
-
23.
>The sound of royal-clad hooves approaching.
-
24.
>The soft hum of her magical presence.
-
25.
>The scent of lavender and moonflower.
-
26.
>Princess Luna is here.
-
27.
>She rounds the corner, her mane flowing like a cosmic waterfall.
-
28.
>Eyes half-lidded and dreamy, but they light up the moment she sees you.
-
29.
>"Ah... my favorite part of the day," she says with a smile that’s too wide for someone about to collapse from sleep deprivation.
-
30.
>You open your mouth to greet her but you barely get out a
-
31.
“P-Prin-”
-
32.
>BOOM!
-
33.
>Magic aura.
-
34.
>You are no longer standing.
-
35.
>You are floating.
-
36.
>Armor clinks softly as Luna levitates you through her bedroom door.
-
37.
>No protest.
-
38.
>No hesitation.
-
39.
>She’s done this enough times to make it look effortless.
-
40.
>Like you’re some plushie she can just summon whenever she wants.
-
41.
>She kicks the door shut behind her with a hindleg.
-
42.
>Wards flicker to life, soundproofing, locking spells, the whole shebang.
-
43.
>This mare takes nap time seriously.
-
44.
>She gently sets you down on her bed like you’re made of glass.
-
45.
>You sit there awkwardly while she starts undressing you with her magic.
-
46.
>Not in a weird way.
-
47.
>In a "tucking in her living teddy bear" kind of way.
-
48.
>Your helmet, chestplate, and greaves float away and clatter gently onto a nearby rack.
-
49.
>“Much better,” she hums.
-
50.
>Then she starts unfastening her own regalia.
-
51.
>Tiara, necklace, shoes.
-
52.
>All removed with grace.
-
53.
>Even sleepy, she's majestic as hell.
-
54.
>You don't even flinch when she climbs onto the bed.
-
55.
>Because this is routine now.
-
56.
>Day after day, it’s the same.
-
57.
>But that doesn’t mean your heart isn't absolutely losing it every single time.
-
58.
>She slinks up behind you like a lioness, her midnight wings folding around you.
-
59.
>And before you can blink, you’re being scooped.
-
60.
>Wrapped in plush alicorn limbs and warm feathers.
-
61.
>Back pressed firmly to her chest.
-
62.
>Little spoon status: activated.
-
63.
>"I've been waiting all day for this," she whispers, her breath tickling your ear.
-
64.
>You could die right now.
-
65.
>Just evaporate from sheer embarrassment.
-
66.
>She nuzzles the back of your head.
-
67.
>You swear you can feel her smile.
-
68.
>Is she... purring? No, that’s probably just her snoring setting in early.
-
69.
>She settles in with a sigh that vibrates through her whole body.
-
70.
>Then silence.
-
71.
>She's out.
-
72.
>Fast asleep.
-
73.
>Just like that.
-
74.
>You lie there motionless.
-
75.
>Your face is on fire.
-
76.
>Your ears are on fire.
-
77.
>Your tail is twitching like a nervous cat.
-
78.
>Your mind is racing.
-
79.
>Why you?
-
80.
>Why every day?
-
81.
>You’re not special.
-
82.
>You're not even particularly talkative or interesting.
-
83.
>But here you are.
-
84.
>Being used as Princess Luna’s official snuggle bat.
-
85.
>You feel her tighten her grip slightly.
-
86.
>A gentle tug.
-
87.
>Like she’s making sure you don’t slip away.
-
88.
>You sigh softly, heart still pounding.
-
89.
>Maybe it's not so bad.
-
90.
>Being someone’s favorite.
-
91.
>Being her favorite.
-
92.
>Wrapped in warmth, comfort, and the scent of starlight.
-
93.
>Your eyes begin to droop.
-
94.
>Guess you're getting a nap too.
-
95.
>You smile faintly as sleep takes you.
-
96.
>Still held tight in the hooves of a princess.
-
97.
>And deep down, you hope tomorrow’s nap comes quickly.
-
98.
>The end.
