Why in Equestria wouldn't I be?" "Well for one you're not smiling like you used to when we cuddled on the couch. That and you seem to not want to let go." >her ears fold back while her eyes start shifting around >oh yea that was a bullseye >"I-I'm just tired Anon." >bullshit detected, initializing bluffbreaker.exe >you just stare at her, but carefully mold your face to show nothing but concern >she seems more nervous >"Really!" >it's not working, time for extreme measures >you take on a more deadpan expression, showing you're not buying it >"Cmon Anon you're being silly." >Anon, this is left eyebrow. Do we have permission to engage? >Anon to left eyebrow you are clear for takeoff >3... 2... 1... liftoff! we have liftoff! >her facade is clearly cracking >after a few moments more she lets out a sigh and leans against you >"Alright, alright just stop the face." >you immediately do so, shifting back to your loving concern face >"The truth is...

I love you too! I love you I love you!" >chuckling, you return to your position on the couch "I love you too dear." >you have a feeling that this spectre that's haunted the both of you is finally gone >you know that you both will be there for each other until your dying days >you'll never give her up >you'll never let her down >you'll never run around and desert her >you'll never make her cry >you'll never say goodbye >you'll never tell a lie and hurt her >yfw Rickrolling is unironically the most effective love song Equestria has ever seen >who would have guessed
