// Love Of My Life 
// Story: Lyra and BonBon

//------------------------------//

Ever since Lyra was a young mare, even a filly, she had known she had feelings for BonBon. Sure, she didn't want to admit it at first because she didn't know if it was right, but soon she learned that the other mare felt the same way about her. That day had made Lyra the happiest mare alive, regardless of what other ponies thought of them. They loved each other, and that was all that mattered in the world to her. It would always be that way, and she knew it.

Or would it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lyra woke up, her expression groggy and dull. She really didn't want to get up this morning, that was certain.

She looked over to her companion, the mare turned to Lyra, sleeping fondly. Lyra smiled, giving the mare a quick kiss on the lips before getting up out of bed. She walked into the kitchen, rubbing her hungry belly that growled as she entered. No doubt that Lyra would take on a chance to eat some treat that BonBon more than likely had for her already for breakfast.

It wasn't exactly a good thing though, having so much sugar all the time. Even Lyra noticed her pudge of a belly, while most ponies, including her lover, had a slimmer figure. The mare sighed, rubbing her belly again as it growled even more.

It had grown to the point where her belly demanded food nearly every hour or so of the day. It wasn't much, though, but she always had a big meal waiting for her when she got home. BonBon loved to cook, that was for sure.

Lyra shook her head, licking her hungry lips. She walked over to the refrigerator, looking around for something sweet to eat for the morning. She stopped at a figure wrapped in foil, which had a note that said "For Lyra" on it. It wasn't too grammar-like, but Lyra didn't care. It had her name on it, and she wasn't going to pass down the opportunity to eat something for her.

She took it out of the fridge, closing the door and setting the foiled treat on the counter. She unwrapped it, revealing a very tasty-looking treat. A big chocolate donut with banana filling. Just what Lyra had wanted.

The mare took a huge bite, a bit too big if you ask any normal pony in Ponyville. But Lyra, she was honestly gaining weight. Ever since she had been living with BonBon, ponies started to see the change in Lyra's figure. It was astonishing, and at the same time frightening. 

After a short time, Lyra finished her donut. She rubbed her belly once again, which wasn't entirely full, but it didn't matter at the moment. She needed to go on to work now, regardless.

Quite a few hours later, in the afternoon, about 4 o'clock or so, Lyra returned home from work. She had a little briefcase, and a hat and suit on. She took the jacket of her suit off, as well as her hat and threw it on the table with her briefcase. BonBon would be sitting there, jumping a bit at the sudden throwing of the heavy briefcase. She looked up at her companion quizzically, only to be replied with a small sigh.

"Bad day?" BonBon asked, getting up from the chair.

"..BonBon, I...I lost my job." Lyra said, looking down at the floor. "I guess they just don't want a fatass working there anymore." Tears welled up in the mare's eyes, her starting to sob.

BonBon's eyes widened, then she gave her companion a quick slap on the face. "Don't you DARE say that about yourself! You're perfect!" The mare yelled, tears streaming down her face in a quick manner.

"Bon, look at me--" Lyra was cut off by another slap.

BonBon couldn't help but sob, but pushed herself onward. "S-Stop it, Lyra...You're the prettiest mare I've ever seen...D-Don't say that.." The mare started to tremble, which her companion pulled her into a hug, stroking her mane.

"Shh, Bon...It's okay, it's okay...I'm sorry I said that, it's just...Not everyone thinks the way you do, I guess.." Lyra murmured, her hoof trembling. "We don't have to talk about it anymore, okay?"

BonBon buried her face into Lyra's chest, sighing softly and tried to control her sobs, but failed.

After a little bit, Lyra let go of BonBon and looked at her. "Hey, how about you and me go into the bedroom and get all comfy together? Will that make you feel better?" Her companion nodded a little, smiling faintly.

They both walked into the bedroom, Lyra's hoof over BonBon's shoulder. The two climbed into the bed, getting into comfy positions. Lyra wrapped her arms around BonBon, and put the covers over the both of them. She stroked the the other mare's mane again, for she knew BonBon was still sad and upset, and needed comfort. And who couldn't help her better than Lyra?

Eventually, Lyra's lover fell asleep, her face a bit red from the crying, but calmer now, and at peace. Lyra held BonBon, and after a short little while, fell asleep as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, Lyra woke up to find nothing there. Normally, Lyra would be up first, because BonBon stayed up later than she did. The confused mare got up slowly out of the bed, walking out into the kitchen. No sign of her. She looked around, almost missing the note that was sticking to the counter. It said, "Gone to get groceries. Be back soon.  Love, BonBon. <3" The little heard at the end of the note made Lyra smile. She looked at the clock, which read 9 o'clock. 

She sighed a bit, looking over at her suit and briefcase. She definitely wouldn't be going to work today, and she knew it.

The mare reached for the refrigerator, opening it.  

Inside, there would be a little oddly-shaped figure wrapped in foil. Lyra took it out of the refrigerator, opening the foiled figure up.  It was a small treat, one that one could only dream of. It was a round ball of chocolate, with drizzles of rich chocolate all around it. Lyra didn't need to ask, she just dove right into the delicious treat.

Afterwards, her mouth would be covered in chocolate, and she would be sitting on the couch in the living room, casually watching TV. The treat that BonBon had given her, though, was pretty dang stuffing, but Lyra was still hungry. She decided to wait until later to eat some more instead of filling up her belly any more.

Lyra rubbed her belly, it grumbling a little. She groaned, her stomach rumbling louder. Her stomach started to hurt, and she couldn't control it. She burped loudly, and continuously did so. Her belly was now grumbling like crazy now. She wanted it to be over, and she knew what she had to do, regardless of how much she wanted not to....

She had to eat.
