“How about this one?” I suggested as I pointed to an old photo of me and Twilight together at Golden Oaks Library.
“I remember that day, it was just after you arrived in Equestria,” Twilight said as she began to reminisce. “You were so distraught that I bought you a bunch of sweets from Sugar Cube Corner. I remember when you tried Mrs. Cake’s cupcakes you said they were the greatest thing you’d ever tasted.”
“Y-Yeah, I remember,” I replied as I too began to reminisce about that day, and the days leading up to it.
Twilight took the photo out of the book and placed in the frame.
“I was so glad that day,” Twilight solemnly said once she placed the frame back down on the table. “It was the first time I’d seen you smile.”
“Y-Yeah,” I softly said I felt tears forming in corners of my eyes.
I didn’t know why I was suddenly feeling so emotional. All we were doing was placing a photo in a picture frame and reminiscing.
“Jake, are you okay?” Twilight concernedly asked me, picking up on my emotional state.
I didn’t say anything for a few seconds, because I didn’t know what to say.
“You’ve... you’ve always been so nice to me, Twilight,” I softly said as I decided to stop trying to figure out what to say and just listen to my heart. “From the very first moment I came to Equestria, you’ve been nothing but kind to me. You never saw me as monster or a freak, even when other ponies did. You were my first friend here... or anywhere, for that matter.”
I was no longer able to fight the tears back anymore. They started steadily flowing down my cheek as I confessed to Twilight.
“You opened your home and your heart to me, and I left you,” I went on. “I…I’m so sorry, Twilight. You had feelings for me for so long, a-and I left you.”
“Oh, Jake, it’s okay,” Twilight assured me as she wrapped me in a warm and loving hug. “You have nothing to feel guilty about. I don’t blame you for wanting to see the world; I’m just glad that you came back to me.”
“I…I love you, Twilight; I’ve always loved you. I just didn’t see it,” I said through my tears. “I love you more than words can ever describe.”
“I know,” Twilight replied, tears of her own now flowing down her cheeks. “And I feel the same way about you.”
Twilight and I just hugged and cried together for a while, just happy that we had each other in our lives.
