//------------------------------// // Rushed Beginnings // Story: The Heart Has Mysterious Ways // by applejackisbestpony2 //------------------------------// Spike was sleeping in his basket, peacefully, he was free of any kind of problems, he was happy. Happy with himself, happy with everyone he knows. The sun started to rise in the horizon, lighting up the little room, the sunlight moved trough the sky, being cleaned up recently by the Pegasi, Spike loves to sleep, but, in this occasion, he needed to wake up early, today was Hearts Warming Eve after all, and he wanted to make something special to Twilight, something she enjoys very much. "OK, she still sleep, it's my chance" Spike said with a low voice. And he jumped from his little basket, into the cold and hard wood of his home tree, it was colder than usual, for obvious reasons. Although Spike was a reptile, he managed the cold just fine, he never asked to Twilight extra protection for the cold, instead when they were in the library, he takes off his winter clothes and sit with Twilight close to the fire, with a hot chocolate and a good comic book to read. But now, he was concentrated in getting out of the little room without any sound, he was just a few centimeters away from her now, so by reaction, he turned to face her. It felt somehow different now, she was slept, that was obvious, but at the moment he looked at her, he felt....something, deep down in his stomach, something he only had felt with a certain white unicorn. "What?" Spike thought. "It must be nothing, just that, she looks very pretty while she sleeps, too pretty" And he was right, Twilight looked more pretty while she slept, her coat shined in a particular way, and the sound of her, sleeping peacefully, gave Spike comfort and joy. He rarely looks at her this way, and at this hours. "Alright, let's get to work" He finally made it out, he was now in the kitchen, what he most expected was making a good breakfast to Twilight in this important day. Spike was a talented cook, despite the fact of him being a dragon who eats only gems, he had a fabulous sense for picking up the right ingredients, the right amount of time in the fire for the food, and a nice way for presenting the dish, it wasn't luck, just Spike, being him. And Twilight appreciated this more than anybody, she was...less talented, when it comes to food. In the moment, spike started to make breakfast, some fruit, juice and a special dish Spike knew but, he never told me what it was or what was in it, he was deeply concentrated at his task at hand, moving the pan one way and another, cutting with the other hand a bunch of fruit and with his tail, moving another bowl. "This is gonna be excellent" Spike said with his normal tone of voice. "Spike, I love you" Twilight whispered it on his ear, her voice was in a sensual tone. "But Twilight, this is not going to work" Spike said, annoyed. "What!? Why not!? I love you, You love m...... "NO. I don't love you, at least, not in that way" The tears started to form in twilight's eyes, she couldn't believed what Spike had said to her. "Spike, please..... "Gahh" Twilight awoke, shaking in her bed, her eyes were puffy and red, she was sweating, a lot, her heart was beating at it's maximum speed. "What in the name of Celestia!?" "I love Spike, but not in that way, not in a million years" "Then, why do I keep having these dreams!?" Twilight started having this dream like a week ago, she didn't knew why. "I should look in one of my books for advice in Extremely Weird Dreams" Twilight giggled at her answer. "There. Done, I hope she isn't awake by now" Spike said while puting the last dish in the table. The little dragon really outdone himself this time, the entire of the table was covered by an amazing feast, juice and fruit in bowls waiting to be eaten, and that dish that he never told me what it was, but it looked delicious. It was so much food, it didn't fit in a tray, so, he couldn't carry to her while she was in her bed, so he needed to call her. "Alright I'll wake her up. She is going to love this" Spike was half way there by the end of the sentence. Twilight was now out of her bed and was looking for a particular dragon. "Where could he be, What he could be doing" Twilight was getting a little worried. "He never, never awakes at this hour" "What if he ran away, what if he... "Twilight" Spike burst in the room. "Awwwww, were you awake, or I awoke you?" Spike asked, a little annoyed that he didn't awaked her. "I was awake, very recently. What are you doing up so early?" "Well, at least it will still be a surprise" Spike giggled a little bit. "OK, now, I need you to follow me, quick" That earned a confused look in Twilight's face, that was a hard achievement to get. "Alright Mister Surprises, lead the way" Spike started walking towards his surprise, the lavender unicorn following him closely. Twilight, was very eager to see what spike had done for her, until she heard the voice of a dragon. "That's not fair, you have to close your eyes, please" "Alright, I'll play your game" Twilight spoke with a mocking tone of voice. Spike jumped of the joy, like a little foal who had received a prize or something, she grabbed twilight of one of her hooves to lead her to the table. Spike couldn't take it anymore, he wanted to see the face of Twilight when she sees it. Finally, they arrived at the table, spike quickly said it: "Alright, open them" "Spike, you did this for me?" Twilight was absolutely amazed by the work of her little assistant, all the bowls and dishes were lined up and with the most luscious food he could muster. "Well, Yeah, I did" "Spike, you are the most wonderful and loving assistant there could be in all of Equestria" Twilight said it with the most happy and expressive tone of voice she had. "Hmm, thanks Twilight" Spike was blushing furiously, she had received compliments from Twilight before, but he felt this one, different. Twilight stood there again, in front of the little dragon, face to face, she started to blush, and then, she remembered the dream. "Now that I see him, he is kind of handsome" "Twilight is more cute than usual today, or is she like this all the time, why I haven't noticed before? They locked gazes, none of them saying anything, just looking at each other. For some reason, they felt different, they started to blush, until something happened. Spike took the initiative and started to lean forward, he didn't knew what he was doing or why, for his misfortune Twilight didn't took the hint and moved away. "Well, all of this looks delicious, can we start?" "After you, Twilight" The meal continued in an uncomfortable silence, only being interrupted by the sound of the dishes and slow and silent chew of both of the companions, it could be the most uncomfortable meal the two have had in a long time. "It is absolutely delicious Spike, you really outdid yourself this time" The silence broke with the sentence Twilight gave. "Thanks Twilight, again" "What's happening to me, why do I kept thinking of her like that, I shouldn't, I mustn't. but, there is something in her. "NO, those are just dreams, nothing more, right? "Awww, now I can't stop thinking in her" "I can't love him that way "Why not? He is funny, loving, helpful "She is smart, funny, occasionally, and really cute Curiously, when their thoughts finished, also their meals. "Well, It definitely was something Spike, Thank you again" "You're Welcome,Twilight" They locked gazes again, this time he couldn't let her escape without a proof of his love. His heart started beating as hardest and fastest he could bare, yet, he started moving towards the little pony that was in front of him, this time, the luck was on his side, and twilight also started moving towards him. "N-No, I can't I mustn't" "NO, he is like a son to me" Yet, his mind dictated one thing his body does another, and they continued walking towards each other. A few centimeters separated them now. "No, stop right now!" "No, No, No Again, the brain told something the body does another, and eventually, only the feelings remain. They couldn't stopped, they knew what this could mean, the destruction of a mother-son relationship, probably the hatred of one to another. Yet, it arrived, they close their eyes, they now could felt the breathe of each one, with one last deep breath, they touch their lips. A Kiss, the first kiss they ever gave to anybody, it was THE kiss. Wet, as they expected, and also awkward, none of them really knew how to kiss, yet, they gave everything in that big kiss. Spike was in heaven, it was the most amazing feel he had ever experienced. Twilight felt bad for what happened, this sensation didn't last long, when she felt his tongue dancing with her's, it was heaven, nothing could compare to it, nothing could match with it. She didn't want to stay back, she started moving her tongue along with his, yes, it was perfect, just perfect. They finally broke the kiss, it could be the most sad moment they have ever experienced. "T-Twilight, I....... Before he could finish his sentence, the lavender unicorn had already run to the room. Spike felt bad about all the things, he needed to face now. What about Rarity!? What about Twilight!? What about the trip to canterlot!?
