"Twilight! Get your butt down here! Now!"
-
>You're screaming at Twilight.
-
>She's being totally unreasonable and it's making you angry.
-
>You've been downstairs for an hour now waiting for Twilight to get out of her room and come downstairs.
-
>"I don't wanna go!"
-
"I will count to three and if you're not down here by then, I will drag you out of your room"
-
"1"
-
>You hear her trotting in her room, quicker now that you've started counting.
-
"2"
-
>Her door opens audibly and she runs downstairs.
-
"Finally, let’s go so I can get some sleep once this is done."
-
>She looks angrily at you, her eyes boring into your skull trying to convey how much she hates you.
-
"Stare all you want, we'll still going."
-
>She knows she's going to lose so she changes her tactics a bit.
-
>Instead of looking angry and trying to intimidate you, she looks at you with puppy eyes.
-
>Her lip is quivering now, and her ears pressed down against her skull.
-
>She's giving it her all to make herself look sad and miserable.
-
>For a moment you lose your composure, you just want to do anything to please her.
-
>But you know better and it's all an act.
-
"Not going to work Twi."
-
>"Ugh! Fine, but once we find out that there's nothing wrong, you'll never hear the end of my nagging," she huffed.
-
>You just roll your eyes not even bother trying to respond to her childish antics.
-
-
>You leave her house and feel the cold winter air against your skin.
-
>It isn't the same coldness back home but it's still made you shiver.
-
>Unlike Twilight, she wasn't used to the cold and she starts shaking from the cold.
-
>Not wanting to make her day even worse by getting her sick, you drape your jacket over her.
-
>You accidentally brushed your hand across her neck and you could have sworn that you felt her cheeks get a tad bit warmer.
-
>"Thanks," she said trying to prevent her teeth from chattering.
-
>Both of you walk through Ponyville in the morning.
-
>The streets aren't even shoveled yet, but you had no choice, all the other slots were full.
-
>You come across deep snow, it's almost up to your thighs and you know that it'll be hard for Twilight to cross it without magic.
-
"Twi, want me to carry you?"
-
>You said jokingly.
-
>It's fun to tease her once in a while but you should control yourself, just a few minutes ago she wanted to eat your face and you're teasing her.
-
>You're not that smart.
-
>"Yes."
-
>That surprised you.
-
>Usually she would just give you the stink eye and would walk away.
-
"Uh, I was actually joking."
-
>"Too bad. You offered to carry me and I accept. It's your duty to carry me now."
-
>She sticks out her tongue.
-
>You can't help but think to yourself 'god dammit, she looks cute'
-
>Maybe that's why you tease her constantly.
-
"Fine, fine."
-
>You pick her up and trudge across the snow with her in your arms.
-
>At first she felt cold but little by little she starts to feel warm against your skin.
-
>You hold her tighter against your body; her body heat makes the cold journey a bit more comfortable.
-
>She also snuggles closer to you which makes you feel warm and fuzzy, but not because of her body heat.
-
>Finally, you reach your destination, the optometrist.
-
-
>You both wait in the waiting room, she would sometimes look at you angrily and sometimes her eyes would fall and look nervous.
-
>She said her eyes were getting blurry when she would read.
-
>At first you thought she was just tired and needed rest.
-
>But then you started seeing her strain herself to read something far away and you knew something was wrong.
-
>You told her to see an optometrist, to get her eyes checked but she wouldn't have any of that.
-
>She argued that glasses would be in the way and is too much of a hassle.
-
>Eventually, after hours of shouting you finally convinced her to hear the doctor's opinion first.
-
-
>The visit isn't that long.
-
>He did a couple of tests to Twilight, wrote on his chart and asked a couple of questions.
-
>"Ms. Sparkle, you need glasses," the doctor eventually said.
-
"Told you."
-
>It felt good to rub it in her face and wanted to do it some more but you saw the look on her face.
-
>She looks like her whole world ended.
-
>Twilight walks out of the room and you follow her out.
-
>You should say something, like, 'It's not the end of the world,' or, 'Cheer up Twi,' anything to remove her dejected look out of her face.
-
>It's just glasses right?
-
>She shouldn't be like this.
-
>Eventually she picked a purple frame off the shelves and had the doctor fit the new glasses in.
-
-
>You two exit the optometrist's and head back home.
-
>Twilight still looks saddened about the whole thing and you couldn't think of anything to say to her.
-
>Usually you would just tease her and she would get angry and laugh.
-
>Not this time though.
-
"Hey Twi, want me to carry you back home?"
-
>This time you aren't joking and you try to make your tone softer.
-
>She didn't say anything but she stops and she raises her front hooves towards you.
-
>You walk in silence towards her house with Twilight in your arms.
-
>You can't see her as you walk because she's hugging you rather tightly.
-
>"I look ridiculous," she pouts.
-
"No you don't."
-
>"Yes I do"
-
"No."
-
>"Yes."
-
>Sighing, you give up.
-
>Arguing with Twilight is never a good idea.
-
>Instead you hold her tightly, pressing her body closer to yours.
-
>The walk isn't as long as the one in the morning because most of the snow has been cleared but it's still tired you out.
-
>You reach the library and you set her down.
-
>Not knowing what to say or do after you left her there and made your way down to the basement, or your room for the time being.
-
>It's just some stupid glasses.
-
>Why would she be so upset about it?
-
>These questions have been bugging you ever since you left the optometrist's and you're no closer to figuring out the answers.
-
>Too tired to think you fall back asleep.
-
>You hope Twilight will get over it by herself in a couple of hours.
-
>If not...you'll think of something then.
-
-
>You wake up from your bed, cold and miserable.
-
>You had a nightmare, about Twilight and you getting chased by flying glasses.
-
>It was weird.
-
>Getting out of bed, you went upstairs to make yourself some coffee.
-
>It's pretty quit right now, but you're surprised that Twilight isn't down here reading books.
-
>It's her morning routine, you get up and wish her a good morning and make coffee for the both of you.
-
>Figuring out that she might still be asleep you decided to leave her alone.
-
>An hour pass.
-
>And another.
-
>You're getting worried now.
-
>Twilight isn't known for being late and you decide that you should check up on her.
-
>Walking to her room, you hear a quiet sobbing.
-
>Afraid that something might have happened to her, you burst inside her room.
-
>Twilight is sitting on the floor, her head pressed on the bed to muffle her crying, and her new glasses thrown across the room landing on the floor.
-
>She hasn't notice you entering her room without an invitation and you should probably leave.
-
>But you wanted to make sure she was okay.
-
>You put a hand on her head and stroke her mane.
-
"Twilight, are you okay?"
-
>Fuck, you're stupid.
-
>Of course she's not okay, she’s crying.
-
>"Yeah, Anon. I'm okay, just a bit...stressed."
-
"Want to talk about it?"
-
>"Not really, no," her head still pressed against the bed and it's almost impossible to hear her now.
-
"Twi, I'm your friend. Tell me about it."
-
>She raises her head and looks at you.
-
>You finally see her face, her eyes are red, she's been crying for a long time now.
-
>Sitting beside her, you gently grab her and placed her head on your lap, quietly stroking her mane still.
-
>She loves it when you do this to her, she once said it relaxes her.
-
"Well?"
-
>You ask as she isn't saying anything.
-
>"I hate the glasses," she mumbles, avoiding looking at you.
-
"Then why did you get it? There was a ton of other frames-"
-
>"Not the frames you dolt."
-
"And there's the Twilight I know."
-
>You gently kiss her head, it felt natural.
-
>"What I mean was, I hate getting glasses in general."
-
"Why? I thought you love reading."
-
>"I do! But I just..." she trail off.
-
"Yes?"
-
>"I look weird."
-
>You laugh.
-
>With all the scenarios playing in your head, you didn't even consider this one.
-
>"This is why I didn't want to get glasses. You're just going to keep laughing at me."
-
>She tries to get up but you push her head down on your lap again.
-
"I'm not laughing at how you're going to look, but at how stupid that sounds."
-
>You kiss her head again, it seriously feels natural, and she relaxes a bit again.
-
"You've never cared about how you looked before, why now?"
-
>She doesn't say anything.
-
"Unless you're trying to impress someone."
-
>You feel her shift a bit in your lap.
-
>You were getting somewhere now.
-
"Maybe you're actually trying to court someone?"
-
>"N-no."
-
"Really?"
-
>"N-no, I mean...yes, I'm not trying to court somep0ny," she says.
-
"Well if you were, they're lucky to have you. Remember that."
-
>It's true.
-
>Twilight might have a few habits, but to you, it just makes her more adorable.
-
>And cute.
-
>And endearing.
-
>And lovely.
-
>And beautiful.
-
>She might nag you about your own habits, but you know she does it because she always knows what's best for you.
-
>And the stallion that caught her attention would be lucky to have her.
-
>You knew this, but she doesn't.
-
"Twilight."
-
>Your tone soft, you want to remind her about this and not tease her about it.
-
"You're perfect. All your imperfections, all your flaws, everything about you is perfect."
-
>This time, it was her turn to laugh.
-
>"That's the stupidest thing I heard. How are flaws equate to being perfect?"
-
"Because it's you."
-
>She blushes at this.
-
>You don't see her blush, but you felt it.
-
>You two stay in her room in silence for a bit, enjoying the moment.
-
>"What if, the pon - I mean, person I'm trying to get their attention is...you?"
-
"Well, I would be lucky."
-
>"I'm not joking."
-
"Oh..."
-
>You don't know what to say.
-
>Sure, you thought about all those things about her but do you see yourself with her?
-
>You think a moment and you can feel Twilight shifting in your lap again.
-
>Then it hits you.
-
>Yes you do.
-
>You can see yourself spending a date together.
-
>Having a candlelit dinner.
-
>Reading a book with her, while she explains parts you don't quite get.
-
>You love her.
-
>Unable to find your voice, she starts talking again.
-
>"Now that I have glasses...I thought you might think of me ugly. And wouldn't like me."
-
>Wow, you are slow.
-
>Putting the pieces together, the crying, the whole argument about not getting glasses, all of it was because of what you might think of her.
-
>You remove her from your lap without saying a word and she looks at you, heartbroken.
-
>Picking up the glasses, you walk towards her.
-
>You place the glasses on her face and look at her.
-
>She looks perfect and you bring your lips to hers.
-
>Breaking the kiss, you look at her again.
-
>She's speechless but you want to say something.
-
"I have a thing for glasses."
