>“Anon, somethings been bothering me for a while now” twilight turned over to you, closing the book on magical implements 4th edition

“What's up twi?” 

>“How come you never seem to want to go back to that human doctor that used to call you all the time”

I freeze up involuntarily, trying to come up with an excuse on the spot. I already feel like anything I say will end up causing suspicion. “I don’t need to anymore, I’m all better now”

>Twilight seemed to frown at this “Well that makes sense I guess… but you didn’t seem to get off on the best of terms. Is everything alright?”

>I guess she must’ve overheard my call with Dr.Streisand the last time we talked to each other, yikes, to be fair though she probably heard my voice getting louder so it was pretty much my fault

“Yeah, our timing didn’t really work out so I didn’t end up scheduling anything, in fact she’s actually moving away so I won’t really be scheduling check ups with her anymore” This was technically the truth but we were still able to play out the rest of our sessions on video chat so that wasn’t the real reason I wasn’t going back to see her

>Twilight opened up the drawer of my nightstand and levitated a familiar looking paper bag with the local pharmacy logo on it. “Can you at least tell me what these are for then? I noticed you bringing it back a few days ago but I haven’t ever seen you open it”

>I know I could just lie my way out of this, Twilight is smart and she’ll probably pick up on my lie, but she wouldn’t push the issue if I really showed some resistance. I didn’t feel like doing that though, throughout the time she’s been with me, she’s never really given me a reason to lie to her like that and even more than that, I just didn’t feel like taking the easy way out this time

“I’ve been seeing a psychologist, Ah even before you popped into my life Twi, I just told her a little bit more about recent events and we got into a bit of an argument… Anyway the pills are antipsychotic medication.” I get a little lump in my throat and my hands get a little dry trying to explain this next part “They stop visual and auditory hallucinations…”

“I'm… I'm afraid Twi, afraid that I've been dreaming you up all this time, and once I take this pill, my stupid brain’ll be fixed and I'll never see you again” 

>Twilight giggled at this “ahhhhh c'mon anon, I'm not a figment of your imagination, I've handed you cups and you've even helped me pull Pinkie out of your drain that one time that creepy clown came around” 

>I wasn’t sure whether or not I should try to explain to her that all these things happening to me were not normal

I wasn't even sure she’d believe me “Twi I'm genuinely worried about this sort of thing”

>Twilight stood, staring at me then slowly turned her head down, seeming to play around with what I’d said in her head

>“I think you should take it” she lifts her head back up, her face softly strained into a determined look

“why? Why bother with it at all? I'm pretty happy with my life you know”

>“Anon, if you don't face this then it’ll always just keep eating away at you.” She puts an unbent hoof on my leg, gesturing to all of me

>Maybe she's right. This thing has been on my mind since she first showed up and maybe it wasn't such a big deal before but now with the others here too…

“Dammit I'm such a fool, I probably got you all worried about such a little thing, I promise I'm doing fine Twi. We can just leave this behind us” 

>Twilight’s expression was one of unconvinced worry but she relented “Okay Anon, we can drop it for tonight if you say so…”

>She used her magic to lift a candle snuffer and took out the single source of light between you two and sauntered over to the bed

>Dear Celestia, I know that's just how they walk but why do they sway their cakes like that?

>“Why don’t we snuggle up for a bit, I want you extra close to me tonight okay?” Twilight snuck inside the blankets and now had a part of it lifted for me to join in

>There couldn’t be a more inviting look, her half lidded eyes coaxing me into the sheets, on top of that she knew how much this whole crazy idea has been messing with me these past few days 

>I smile and huddle under the blanket letting her hooves drape around me, she wiggles a little to get into a comfy spot right up against me and her warmth soaks into my bones as I let out a sigh of immense comfort and joy

>I slowly drift off to sleep and find myself awake in the middle of the night. I catch a bit of moonlight coming from the edge of the curtains shining on the nightstand and see it draw attention to the bottle of pills I left there

>I think about what Twilight said to me, coming from her she probably felt a little hurt about the idea that I suspected she was a hallucination. Even then she still comforted me and held me close to her tonight. She was a one in a million and I can’t imagine finding anyone else who would have done the same

>I can’t be a pussy, I need to prove to myself and to her that I can commit to her with all my being, no hallucinations, no bullshit

>I take the bottle and go to the kitchen where I grab some water and down the pill

>It was ridiculous to me in the first place how I could possibly think she was imaginary, I should apologize to her tomorrow when she wakes up and take her out on a date, yeah I think she’d love that

>I head back into the bedroom and find my bed is empty
