>you can't help but sigh and sit up from your bed
>it's another night of insomnia and it seems to have brought along a friend
>that deep, sinking feeling of depression might be setting in
>you knew better
>nothing should be keeping you down
>tossing the covers off, you sit at the edge of the bed in silence
>everything that comes to mind seem like bad ideas
>drinking would only be temporary and could lead to some bad choices with such a state of mind
>you rub your head and take a deep breath, trying to relax and figure out what to do
>then you hear the bedroom door open
>the dim light of a candle floods the room slowly as the lit stick hovers inside
>the light sounds of hooves step closer until you see that purple mane and lavender ear poke in
>Twilight eases her head further in, letting those violet eyes adjust and spot you upon the bed
>”Hey,” she says softly, leaning in a little more
>you greet her and smile some, always enjoying seeing the lavender pony
>her timid nature of disturbing you subsides when you give the okay as she slips into the room and magically closes the door behind her
>the candle lifts up and hovers around until it finds a resting place upon your nightstand as the purple alicorn walks up to you
>”Is something wrong?” she asks, tilting her head and sitting herself down before you
>even if she was princess, she still acted just like she always did, never wanting to put up on pedestal
>you contemplate holding back but decide to pour your heart out
>Twilight listens intently, nodding and replying to show her interest in you and your story
>once all is said and done, you let out a deep breath and rub your brow
>getting your troubles off your chest did seem to help
>at least you certainly felt a little less tense and that spiraling pit in your stomach has ebbed
>then you feel a light touch to your knee
>the purple pony has moved closer and placed one of her hooves upon your leg
>her eyes shine in the candlelight, much like they do in the moonlight
>her hoof gives a small pat to your knee before a consoling rub as she keeps looking up at you
>”I'm here for you,” Twilight says calmly and leans in, nuzzling her cheek to your other knee
>you can't help but reach down and caress her cheek, always loving how soft her lavender coat is
>the small noise she makes is more than adorable as you continue to move your fingers along her cheek and neck
>the pony's reactions to your loving touch seem to calm you further as you keep up the tender rubs along her neck
>soon enough, the small alicorn shimmies herself up against your leg, leaning to it as she enjoys your fingers moving through her coat and along her mane
>when your give one of her ears a light rub, the mare smiles and wraps her forelegs around your limb
>”I'm always here for you,” she repeats, though she sounds slightly tired now
>you thank her and lean down to kiss the top of her head before she looks up and gives your chin a little kiss back
>it's impossible not to smile as you feel her loving nature towards you radiate more from each little things she seems to do for you, and only you
>once she gets out of her lulled mental state, those wings spread as she looks up to you curiously
>you didn't need words for what you both wanted and leaned down, carefully scooping her up into your arms
>the warmth of her body comforts you in ways no blanket could
>her forelegs wrap around your neck as she rests her head to your shoulder and drapes those wings around you both softly
>you keep her close and reach under a wing to rub her back to the best of your ability
>when you feel her nuzzling to your shoulder, that cute nose brushes along your neck and makes you chuckle a bit
>”Sorry for staying up so long. Just had to make a few notes,” the purple pony apologizes, giving your neck a little kiss
>you continue rubbing her back and lean backwards into the bed
>her wings move just enough to not let you lay on them
>when you tell her it's okay, you feel her muzzle trailing up your neck and to your cheek before she plants another smooch
>you grin wide and turn to give her a returning favor as you see her horn light up
>the light from the candle fizzles quickly and the covers lift up to allow you back in
>”Come on~ Let's get some rest, okay? I'll try fixing you some breakfast in the morning,” Twilight encourages, settling atop you comfortably
>you shift your body enough to turn and slip into the offered covers before feeling them drape over you both softly
>who were you to argue with the precious pony?
