>"Ugh, finally done."
"Took us long enough."
>You grunt as you fall back onto the large couch in Twilight's study, closing your eyes in the process.
>Hearthswarming.
>A time for families and friends to celebrate.
>It was also a time for a certain human to clean up for lazy purple princess after a Hearthswarming Eve party.
>A sigh from your right makes you snap back to reality.
>The source being none other then Starlight Glimmer.
>You both had taken on the task of cleaning up the castle after Twilight's lazy ass.
>Spike had been of little use, as he helped for a grand total of 10 minutes; then promptly fell asleep while carrying plates.
>More cleanup for you.
"You tired?" You ask the pink mare.
>"Yeah, I'm beat. Magic helps, but walking back and forth gets pretty tiring."
>As if to emphasize her point, she lets out a cute little yawn, covering her mouth with her hoof.
>She then turns her head to look at the roaring fire that you had set up while cleaning up the study.
>You too turn to the fire, but eventually find your gaze drifting back towards the unicorn seated just an arms length away from you.
>For a while you knew that you had a minor crush on Glimmy; but you became very aware that you liked her more then just a friend in the past few months.
>You continued to stare at her form, lit up from the light from the fire; taking in more details.
>Her impressively thick mane, her fuzzy ears that twitched whenever you moved slightly on the couch.
>Her soft, bright pink coat that you wished you could just caress for hours.
>Lower your eyes traveled, and they ended up at her well rounded ass.
>You were definitely no stranger to pony asses. >After the initial shock of being in a magical world of talking horses wore off, you found yourself focusing more and more on them.
>Particularly Glimmers.
>It didn't help that she had the largest one of the group.
>Starlight derailed your train of thought as she began turning to face you.
>You focus back on the fire, making it seem like you were spaced out.
>Rather her not find out that you were staring at her ass; especially since you both had always gotten along.
>"So, you've been In Equestria for almost a year. How do you like it?"
>Focusing on her now, you think about it for a few seconds.
"Honestly, I really like it here. There are still some moments were I miss people, friends and family mainly."
>She nods in understanding, as you continue.
"The change of pace is really nice though. No one is as judgmental as people are back on Earth; and everyone's attitudes are much different."
>"I'm glad you like it here. Everypony seems to get along with you. I'm also not the only pony Twilight has to clean up after her holiday parties.
>You both chuckle, and just stare at each other for a few seconds.
>She really was such a beautiful pony.
>Suddenly she went from sitting next to you to sitting on your lap.
>It took a few seconds, but you realized she was hugging you.
>As unexpected as it was, you weren't gonna complain at a time like this.
>You return the hug, wrapping you arms around the mare's warm body.
>Slowly, you run one hand up and down her back; taking in the softness of her coat.
>The hug lasted for what felt like hours as you both took in each others warmth.
>She finally broke the hug and looked at you, smiling.
>Her face was so close to yours. All you had to do was move a few inches forward and you lips would meet.
>Before you finished that thought, she moved off you and leaned up against your side.
>Taking your arm, you bring it around the pony and bring her closer to you.
>Starlight responded by also leaning into you more, the top of her head brushing up under your chin.
>She stops moving and let out a long contempt sigh.
>You both stayed that way for a while, with your arm around her still.
>As time passed you wondered why Glim had suddenly started being this affectionate towards you.
>It wasn't because you didn't like it, this was a very welcome change.
>But Starlight had never shown any indication that she saw you as more then just a friend.
>Sure, you both hung out a lot and were pretty much best friends, but those were things friends did.
>Sighing, you close you eyes and let you head fall back onto the top of the couch.
>Starlight wasn't exactly the best at dealing with her emotions however.
>You had heard the story.
>Best friend left her, she became an edgy teenager, started a communist cult, tried to destroy Equestria, etc.
>You remember when she told you about it, she genuinely thought you were going to stop being her friend because of what she had done.
>It had been a pretty big shock to you, but up until that point she had shown you nothing but kindness.
>Starlight had even been the one to find you passed out in a field when you ended up in horseland.
>Even if it was a jarring revelation, at that point your feelings towards her had already cemented themselves in your mind.
>No way were you going to cut off your friendship with her because of some shit that happened before you even showed up.
>After that your friendship had only grown stronger.
>And now, months later, here you were.
>Cuddling with the pony that nearly dominated your thoughts.
>Slowly you open your eyes and stare at the ceiling.
>Something was hanging off the banners that stretched across the room.
>You studied it for a few seconds, then immediately getting with the realization of what it was.
>You felt the blood rush to your face and your heart rate increase.
>A mistletoe.
>A goddamn Mistletoe hung just a few feet over your head.
>You knew that it hadn't been there when you got here, as you dedicated a large portion of your time taking all the ones that Twilight had set up a few days prior.
"Oh." You said out loud.
>Wait, shit.
>Now Starlight was gonna look up and see it too.
>Was that really a bad thing though?
>"What's wrong Ano-"
>She stopped talking and looked at you.
>Because of how close you both were sitting, you were now touching noses with Starlight.
>The softness of the hair on her muzzle tickled the tip of your nose.
>Her big, beautiful eyes were trained on yours.
>Time seemed to stand still as you both stared into each other.
>Well, it was now or never.
>In one fluid motion, you tilted your head to the side and brought your lips to hers.
>She tensed up for a moment, her eyes opening wide.
>Shit, maybe you had gone too far.
>The thought melted away however as she sighed into you and relaxed, closing her eyes.
>You too closed your eyes and continued the kiss.
>It wasn't long before you felt Glimmy's tongue prodding your lips, asking for entry.
>You were more then happy to oblige, as you opened your mouth and let her explore to her hearts content.
>You began to run your hands up and down her body again, running one through her mane.
>God it was so soft and smooth.
>The other hand started to grope at her flesh, getting lower and lower.
>For a moment you feared maybe you were going too far, but Glimmer's moans following your advances put that thought to rest.
>You finally grabbed her rump, the soft flesh conforming to your fingers.
>She let out a long moan into you as she kissed you more vigorously.
>You weren't exactly sure how long your make out session had lasted, but it felt too short by the time she slowly pushed herself off from you, breaking the kiss.
>Panting, you tried to catch your breath as you looked at her again.
"That was.. amazing" you say between your heavy breathing.
>Starlight says nothing, instead opting to give you another surprise hug.
>Gladly returning it, you just enjoy the moment for what it is.
>After about a minute she pulls away and looks at you, taking one of her hooves and resting it in the palm of your hand.
>"... Anon?"
"Yeah Starlight?"
>"I'm not good at projecting my emotions, and maybe it's too early for me to say this..."
>She trailed off, looking away from you and making circles on you chest with her free hoof.
>You give her hoof a reassuring squeeze, hoping she continues.
>She sighs and shuts her eyes, staying like that for a few seconds.
>Opening them again, she looks at you and utters those three words you only dreamed of her saying.
>"I love you."
>She surprises you with a deep and passionate kiss.
>You let the kiss run it's course, separating after another minute.
>Taking a hand, you slowly bring it up to her cheek.
>Glim almost involuntarily nuzzles into it.
>HNNNNNG levels off the charts.
>You look into her eyes.
>She's nervous, waiting on your response.
>Chuckling, you caress her cheek with your hand.
"I love you too Starlight."
>Upon hearing those words, she smiles and hugs you; crying tears of joy into your chest.
>You pet her as she lets out all her pent up emotions.
>Once again shutting your eyes, you lean back and relax.
>Even though you loved Equestria, something had always felt missing.
>You assumed that it was just homesickness and nothing more.
>But now, after what had just happened, you knew what it was.
>You were missing someone to love.
>And finally, right here, you had just that.
>Smiling, you sigh.
>Right now, at this moment, everything was right in the world.
