Kissing the Sun [WiP]

>The cool autumn breeze brushes against your face, send a small chill down your spine.

>Celestia lets a tiny shrill as the same gust beats against her.

>Taking off your jacket, you awkwardly try to place it on her.

>It's rather hard to pull of since the jacket is intended for humans and not ponies.

>She giggles as you give up and just hang it around her neck.

>"Thank you, Anon," she mutters, a rosy tint spreading across her face.

>Scratching the back of your head, you chuckle and avoid eye contact.

"It's no big deal."

>The park was abnormally quiet, even for this time of night.

>Normally ponies would be walking to their homes, using the small walkway as a shortcut.

>But that didn't really matter to you right now.

>What mattered was that this date HAD to be perfect.

>And what better way to have a first date than a dinner at a nice family restaurant and a walk in the park.

>Thing is, this night couldn't be going any worse than it already was.

>Not only were you late to pick up your date, but you just had to spill your plate of spaghetti all over her at dinner as well!

>Celestia leans her head against you, nuzzling your arm with her nose.

>"I wouldn't want you to get cold either," she coos.

>Swallowing hard, you look around to make sure no one is around.

>You wrap your arm around her shoulder and bring her in closer.

>She emits a purring hum, looking up at you with her eyes glistening in the moon's light.

>Her face is almost completely red at this point as she stares in your eyes, not taking a second to remove her gaze.

>Leaning your head down, you find yourself inching closer and closer to her face.

>Her hot breath beats against your face, smelling of a mixture of mint and lavender.

>Your heart beats faster, knowing where this is going, but your brain is still trying its best to register everything.

>The air grows still as you reach ever closer to her face, lips puckered and eyes closed.

>Before long, the light, warm press of lips is against your own.

>For what feels like an eternity, you hold your position and open an eye to peek.

>Tears flow down her cheeks, leaving an unsettled feeling in the pit of your stomach.

>Releasing the kiss, the princess looks up at you with a beautiful smile.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to offend you or anything! Please, don't cry!"

>Celestia giggles as you pull out a handkerchief and wipe the tears from her face.

>"Anon, please calm down. You didn't do anything wrong. I'm just happy, is all."

>Happy? About a kiss?

>A bit cliche in your opinion, but who are you to judge.

"Happy about what?" you question, putting the cloth back in your pocket.

>She turns her head away, avoiding your sight.

>"It's... nothing."

>She turns back to you, smile still protruding across her face.

>"All I do know is that I had a wonderful time tonight, all thanks to you, Anon."

>Your stomach untangles as a smile sneaks onto your face.

>Wrapping your arms around her neck, you embrace her in a tight hug.

"I'm glad to hear it."

>Letting go of the mare, you stand up and offer your hand in assistance to help her off the bench.

>She extends her hoof and you lift her up, bringing her to her hooves.

>As Celestia climbs down from seat, she looks up to the sky and lets out a content sigh.

>"I must be getting back home. Will I... see you again, maybe?" she mumbles, trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Of course," you reply with a nod.

>With a nod, she spreads her beautiful wings and takes to sky as you begin your venture home.

______________

 

>Waking up to the sound of birds chirping in the morning would normally send you in a blistering fury, but you were in just too good of mood to care right now.

>Throwing off the covers, you jump from your bed and walk into the bathroom to perform your usual morning routine.

>Once done, you put on a fresh set of clothes and head off to start your day.

>Walking down the path on such a beautiful day was practically a blessing.

>The sun was shining brightly, but gave off a nice, subtle warmth that was comfortable.

>Over the past few days, it was rather hot, even though it was fall.

>Passing by the usual stands, you give your morning hellos and waves.

>But something was off today.

>The ponies were acting differently around you.

>Some mockingly, some nervous, and some cold, even.

>Walking over to Roseluck's stand, you lean in and look at the flowers.

"A nice batch you got today?" you comment, trying to make small talk.

>"Sure is," she says bluntly.

>Looking up from the plants, you make contact with a deathly glare from Roseluck.

>Backing away from the stand, you continue your venture towards the large library down the street.

>The streets of Canterlot were rather "chatty", today.

>Whispers and murmurs course your ears as you walk down the brick path.

>"How dare he defile our princess!"

>"I wonder what their foals would look like?"

>"He's kind of cute now that I take a look at him."

>With breakneck speed, you reach the front door of the building and enter, slamming the door behind you.

>Twilight looks up from her desk, glaring directly at you.

>"Anon, what have I told you about slamming the door?" she whispers in an annoyed tone.

>Ever since Twilight took the position of librarian in Canterlot, your visits have been nothing but nagging and moaning.

"I'm sorry, I was just trying to get off the streets," you gasp, trying to catch your breath. "All the ponies are talking about me and I'm getting mixed results about their comments."

>"Well, you are the talk of the country right now, it would seem," she says with a blush.

>Twilight hovers a newspaper over to you with her magic aura, displaying a huge picture that makes you almost swallow your tongue.

>Displayed in big, bold lettering, the title reads, "Celestia and Anonymous - A Strange Pair in the Making!"
