>You are Shimmer Light.
>... Hexferry's bed is very comfortable.
>You're currently having a sleepover at her house.
>The two of you had fun so far, but that was a few hours ago.
>You should be asleep.
>Hexferry is. She's just on the other side of the bed.
>... You've been laying here for a few hours.
>Awake.
>Aware.
>Pondering.
>Wondering...
>Something was wrong.
>Hexferry was acting oddly.
>She didn't seem... natural.
>She was never paying complete attention to what was going on.
>You wish you knew what was on her mind.
>You even asked her about it, but she just said she had spoken to Caramel earlier, and that's why she was like that.
>That's not the full reason. That doesn't even make sense as a full reason.
>Because of that, you've just been laying here.
>Wondering.
>... It's honestly making you a little angry, but you shouldn't be.
>That makes you feel guilty.
>Everything was much easier when you just hated everyone...
>... But that's behind you now.
>Hexferry rolls in her sleep.
>... Wait, have you seriously been looking at her this whole time?
>That's really creepy.
>If she hadn't been asleep, she'd have thought ill of you.
>... Though it's possible she isn't asleep, she's been facing away from you, so you aren't worried.
>Even if she was awake, she wouldn't know you were awake too.
>... Thinking about its creepiness has made it even more disturbing.
>You'll think about something else now...
>Hexferry rolls over to face you.
>Her eyes are closed, and her expression is peaceful.
>... She's so serene when she sleeps...
>That's not a change of topic at all.
>You hate how your brain works.
>You should be able to think of whatever you want to, without distraction.
>... She even styled her mane before you came over, though you suspect she had Meisa's help.
>She looked as though she was going to a formal event, but she was just having you over.
>... Was she trying to impress you?
 
>If she was...
>... She succeeded.
>You're jealous.
>You wish you could look regal like that.
>... Actually, she was acting somewhat like Meisa.
>Why?
>Has she been like that for a while, or did she do it just recently?
>... Or did she just do it for you?
>No, that's stupid. She has no reason to act differently around you.
>If she wanted to be different around you, she would have done that a long time ago.
>You haven't seen her in a while, so you don't really know if she was doing it before the sleepover.
>Why is it impossible to just know every point on an issue?
>Life would be much easier if you didn't have such paranoia.
>... You flip yourself over so you're facing away from her.
>This line of thought is just depressing you.
>If you were still alone in the world, you wouldn't be depressed.
>You'd be perfect.
>... Perfect...
>...
>Eventually, you were able to actually get to sleep.
>You wake up far earlier than you healthily should have.
>To your credit, you only woke up because you felt something on your chest fluff.
>... You're pretty sure your perception is far above average, so when you think this, it's a very educated guess.
>That's a hoof.
>Specifically, it looks like Hexferry's hoof, reaching from behind you.
>You're fairly certain she's also pressed firmly against your back.
>She sounds like she's sleeping calmly, but you aren't completely convinced.
>You don't move.
>If she wakes up now, this could be very awkward for both of you, mainly because you don't know how well you can fake being asleep.
>... Logically, there's nothing to worry about.
>Sleep movement is natural, especially for you and Hexferry.
>Still, you don't think she'd react calmly to waking up in a position like this.
>If there was space for you to move, you would. Unfortunately, you went to sleep at your edge of the bed, so there's no where you can slink off... to...
>... You're not on your side of the bed.
>You're on her side of the bed.
 
>Judging by how far away your side is, she probably didn't move at all.
>You did.
>You feel panicked at the realization.
>In your sleep, you rolled all the way over to Hexferry's side of the bed, and pressed yourself against her.
>On the bright side, you can just move after she moves her hoof.
>... What if she doesn't?
>You didn't know your paranoia could get this out of control.
>It's fine.
>Everything's fine.
>Everything will work out perfectly.
>... Perfectly...
>You focus back on the hoof.
>She's holding on to you very tightly.
>Your wings are more delicate than most other moths', so you're glad you can feel them safely against her.
>... Despite being in such a state of panic, you're actually quite comfortable.
>Her grip on you is tight but also soft.
>Her body is soft as well.
>Warm...
>... You seem to be considerably more calm now.
>You feel... peace.
>Maybe you'll just wait here for a while.
>She'll move her hoof eventually.
>You'll just...
>Wait...
>...
>The ground is made of marble.
>You're in a beautiful, open-air building.
>It's held up by columns.
>You feel a compulsion to go to the top floor, so you start climbing the stairs.
>Each step shines beautifully from the setting sun.
>The floors you pass are filled with lush gardens and other majestic sights.
>This building is made of beauty.
>So badly, you want to stop on one of the floors and simply take in the scenery, but you know there's something for you at the top.
>You soon pass the clouds.
>They're a magnificent mix of pink and orange, accented by yellow.
>... The end of the staircase is in sight.
>You rush until the last few steps; you slow to a regal walk when you reach the top floor.
>There's a path of columns leading you forward.
>Flora takes up the area outside the path.
>Everything here is even more astounding than the floors below.
>You can see an end to the path.
>It leads to a platform where a single figure is perched.
 
>With every pair of columns you pass, you are more eager to meet them.
>... As you approach the final pair, the figure turns to look at you.
>Hexferry.
>She looks regal with her mane done up.
>Her folded wings sparkle in the light.
>The sight is even more brilliant than anything before.
>She's... beautiful.
>"Ah!"
>The world skews around you and everything fades away.
>... You're back in Hexferry's bed.
>You're still on her side, but she isn't holding on to you anymore.
>Actually, the blanket you were sharing looks like it was thrown off you.
>... Wait, where's Hexferry?
>You sluggishly raise yourself on the bed to get a better vantage point.
>... Though you didn't need it. She's just on the floor, next to where she was sleeping.
>She's rubbing her side, as though she... fell on it...
>Oh no.
>You fell asleep before she let go.
>To make it worse, she woke up before you.
>... Well.
>She notices you staring at her.
>"O-oh, g-g-good morning, Shimmer. Did you sleep well?"
>She's blushing intensely.
>You have to diffuse this.
>To add an air of confusion, you look at where you are on the bed, then where you should be.
"Oh, sorry. I rolled in my sleep..."
>Yeah, because that totally worked.
>That was terrible.
>"No, it's okay, I just didn't expect it, that's all. Sorry I woke you up."
"It's fine."
>... She didn't say anything about her hoof; you hope she moved it before waking up.
>"A-anyway, let's have breakfast, since we're both awake. Or would you rather go back to sleep?"
>... You might not trust yourself to sleep with Hexferry ever again.
"I'm awake."
>... The rest of your stay had its share of awkward moments, but it was still enjoyable.
>You need serious psychological help.
>You're changing in ways you aren't sure you're comfortable with.
>... Too bad you don't trust anyone enough with that information.
>So you'll bottle it up and keep it a secret.
>This will be interesting... and painful.
