They stood on the balcony, Twilight concentrating as a vivid fuschia glow emanated from her horn. She grunted, then released the spell. "No good. It must be out of range.
Caramel's heart sank. "I'm so sorry, Twilight."
She put on a brave smile. "Well, if I hear any rumors, I'll know where they came from. And Ponyville has mostly decent folk. They'll do the decent thing, I imagine, and take it back to you with an apology."
He grinned, then turned to head downstairs. "I guess I should be going."
"Wait," said Twilight, and he stopped. "Since you came out here, and told me the truth, I was sort of hoping that you would stay. For a bit."
He must have looked at her funny, because her eyes went wide. "Not that kind of Bit! Not that you're a male for hire!"
He felt the top of his nose blushing, and she put a hoof to her mouth. "Oh my goodness. Not that you wouldn't be a good one, it's..."
Now her nose was blushing, the bright flush visible below her violet coat. (He had always wondered if purple mares' blushes showed, and a detached part of his mind confirmed that they did indeed.) "I, I..." she stammered, her eyes locked on his, her total embarrassment clear by the way her face was frowning in horror.
He leaned forward, and touched his lips to hers. He didn't even know that he was kissing her until he was halfway done. He didn't know how to end it.
He didn't know how to breathe anymore. He was lost in her eyes, the way the library's inside lights shone in them, the tears that started to drip down her face...
They broke the kiss. Their gaze didn't break. She smiled. He smiled.
It felt like a thousand years. |
