  1. "Today was filled with radiance and beauty. Her"
  2. >A hand wraps around the back cover of a book.
  3. >It flips over, closing the book with a 'thump'.
  4. >The hand lays to rest over the book, and the owner speaks up.
  5. "S-so, what are your thoughts?"
  6. >There is no response from the pegasus sitting opposite you.
  7. >She was looking down at her hooves awkwardly in the last few minutes of your reading.
  8. >The beautiful pony hides her head behind her hair, not having the courage to speak.
  9. >She was clearly stunned; amazed, perhaps.
  10. >"A-anon..."
  11. >Even your heart stops to listen to her words.
  12. >Staring into her eyes, you realise she's...
  13. >Crying?
  14. >Your heart sinks at her reaction.
  15. >Stupid, stupid Anon!
  16. >You were clearly out of her league, there was no way in hell a fit, beautiful, athletic angel like her would even dare consider you as a boyfriend.
  17. >Hanging your head in shame and embarrassment, you stand up to walk away.
  18. >Maybe you'll move to god knows where.
  19. >You've heard of a 'Ponyville' before.
  20. >Maybe they'll take a creature like you in.
  21. >Suddenly, you stop moving.
  22. >Legs are still responding, but you feel pressure on your stomach.
  23. >You realise what your looking down at;
  24. >A Spitfire, eyes wet, looks up at you.
  25. >She's putting her hoof on your stomach.
  26. >Breaking eye contact, she moves to wrap her hooves around your waist.
  27. >Her head rests at your hips, and you stand there shocked.
  28. "Spitfire?"
  29. >"A-Anon, I- I never realised you felt that way about- about me"
  30. >She says this while chocking back her tears
  31. >Kneeling to be closer to her, you wrap you hands around her head and place it over you shoulder
  32. "Spitfire, I..."
  33. >You couldn't finish that sentence.
  34. >There was no excuse to why you couldn't man up and tell her straight out.
  35. >A simple 'I love you' would've sufficed.
  36. >Now look what happens when 3 words aren't said.
  37. >"I'm sorry"
  38. >What?
  39. "Spitfire? W-What are you apologising for?"
  40. >"I never told you, huh?"
  41. "Told me what?"
  42. >"That... that I love you too"
  43.  
  44. >Tears fill your eyes.
  45. >They aren't tears of sadness, however;
  46. >But neither are they of joy.
  47. >They were tears of relief.
  48. >Relief that she isn't hurt, or upset.
  49. >Relief that she didn't have to hide her feelings anymore.
  50. >Relief that she actually loves
  51. >You.
  52.  
  53. >Your grip on Spitfire tightens, as does her hooves.
  54. >The tears do not stop as they stain and drip down your faces.
  55. >All the pent up feelings your bodies had no more place to stay.
  56. >Release them all, for you and she have no more need for anguish.
  57. >Both you and Spitfire are now laughing, still letting the tears flow.
  58. >It wasn't a hearty laughter, or one of mocking.
  59. >It was a laughter that signified,
  60. >'Everything is going to be alright'
