Complexion
06
Twilight awoke to the shimmering moonlight, just having returned after her nap with Rainbow. She noticed Rainbow was already awake, preoccupied with studying every feature of Twilight's face, from her luminescent purple eyes to her deep indigo mane. Twilight looked into her eyes, noticing Rainbow's deep complexion as she gazed upon her.
Rainbow's features turned very soft and tender once she saw Twilight awake. Rainbow formed a very gentle smile and closed her eyes as she went in to kiss Twilight. Her soft lips caressed her, as the two lost themselves in the pleasure of each other. Not a single heartbeat would be missed as the two started to snuggle up under the warm blankets that shielded them from the chilly night air.
Rainbow reluctantly broke the kiss, opening her eyes to stare into Twilight's own. "Have I ever told you how much I loved you?" Twilight blushed and smiled, and shook her head softly in response.
"No, but I already know," she replied, leaning in to press her lips against Rainbow's.

Rainbow yawned, opening her sleepy eyes to the light as the morning sun engulfed the room in a brilliant display, breaking through her wonderful dream. The room was a bit cold for her liking, as the air steadily drifted through the house via the semi-permeable makeshift walls of clouds. Rainbow suddenly noticed the hot breath on her from the lavender unicorn laying across from her. Her heart skipped a beat as she drew in closer, as a romantic gesture, and to warm herself up. She gently wrapped her forelegs around Twilight and embraced her softly, smiling before drifting back to sleep.

Twilight opened her eyes to the same glowing sun that Rainbow had earlier. She immediately picked up on something different, noticing the other side of Rainbow's bed was cold, and so was she. Instead of the usual warm pegasus under the blankets that she had grown accustomed to, she instead found a note in its place.
Went out to clear the clouds,
I'll be back soon.
Under the writing, Twilight noticed a small red heart etched on to the paper. She felt her heartbeat act up as she blushed like a little school-filly. Immediately, she began to miss the warmth and comfort of the cyan pegasus by her side, even if it was just for a short while. She started to feel incomplete without her. She felt that Rainbow was a perfect complement to her, thinking that their clashing personalities fit together so well. She had her smart, practical, eggheaded side, while Rainbow offered an adventurous, exciting side.
Stretching, she lifted off the blankets with her magic as she slid out of the bed. She decided she needed to take a shower, having not taken one yesterday due to being preoccupied with Rainbow to worry about anything else. She stepped into the shower room, noticing that instead of a shower head, she found a small raincloud in its place. She then remembered Rainbow telling her about it the first time, telling her it was a modified raincloud that acted as a shower. She remembered doing some research on rainclouds when Rainbow was out that first night that she was here.
She stepped into the makeshift tub, as the warm water from the raincloud submersed her in liquid warmth. She did her normal procedure, shampooing twice and using some conditioner before she toweled off, leaving her mane ever so slightly wet.
Her eyes were still half-lidded, and she found it a slight challenge to walk downstairs to simply get some breakfast. She tripped on an uneven bump in the kitchen, falling to the floor. It helped somewhat in jolting her awake.
She surveyed the light room, looking around for something to eat. Rainbow didn't have much food here, as she spent most of her time back in Ponyville. Ponyville... Twilight realized she hadn't seen any of her other friends for a couple days, as she's been spending them with Rainbow recently. She finally settled on a pile of waffles she found in the fridge.
She stuck them in the toaster, as she waited boredly while the toaster did its stuff. The faint smell of toaster waffle wafted through the room, making the growling emptiness in Twilight's stomach even more audible. She levitated a plate and a bottle of syrup over to the table, as she awaited longer for the waffles she longed for to be done.
Being not able to put up with the wait any longer due to her empty stomach, she bluntly unplugged the toaster and rotated it upside down to shake the waffles out. And of course, they were burnt. Twilight sighed as she slowly poured the syrup and butter on anyway, being glad she could finally quench her hunger.
The waffles crunched loudly in her mouth, as she stared bluntly at the wall, her eyes still tired and half-lidded. She finished off the first burnt waffle, picking up another to get started on the next dark, burnt waffle. They still tasted okay, as they reminded her of the waffles she used to have in Manehattan, at the fancy hotels that served continental breakfast.
Noticing the unusually bright sunlight outside, she decided to stop eating the burnt waffles and went outside on Rainbow's front "lawn". Twilight took in the familiar sensations of the summer morning, as the warm air shrouded her body as they slowly dried off Twilight's mane in a wonderful sensation that could only be described from experiencing it. The harmonious chirping of the birds filled the air with music, as a smile tugged at Twilight's mouth.
Her thoughts drifted to the blue pegasus. She was still marked with the disbelief that was still in her from Rainbow's confession. She didn't even know what she did, or anything she said to make Rainbow feel this way. She didn't even know if she could reciprocate her feelings to her. Twilight wanted so hard to be able to understand her. She hadn't even understand why she did what she did last night, or the consequences.
What would Rainbow think? Maybe she had come off too fast. It was an impulsive decision in itself, and she had no idea where it came from. It was a spur of the moment type thing. Did Rainbow know? She paced in her mind, trying to decide what to do with the situation. Maybe Rainbow brushed the memory aside. Her mind was boggled and genuinely confused for the first time in a while.

Twilight walked back inside, as she patiently waited for Rainbow to come back. She sat by one of the windows in the wall, nervously watching the ground and its inhabitants from above.
About fifteen minutes later, she saw the cyan pegasus shoot through above the horizon, reaching the steps to her house in seconds. She landed quietly and elegantly, and Twilight anxiously awaited by the door to see her. But the door didn't open. She opened the door and looked to her sides, not seeing Rainbow. Then, the pegasus dropped from above and tackled her, laughing as she pinned Twilight to the ground.
"Gotcha," Rainbow yelped playfully through stifled laughs. Twilight couldn't help but stubbornly smile. Rainbow picked Twilight up with her wings, and helped her back to her hooves. Rainbow laid down with her back against the same wall on the front of her house. She gestured for Twilight to follow suit. She came over, resting her back on Rainbow's chest. She laid her head on the front of Rainbow's shoulder. Twilight tried to refrain from drifting off to sleep again, but it proved difficult being enveloped by the pegasus' warmth. Her heartbeat started to act up.
-
Thirty uneasy minutes passed by in silence, oblivious to the two as time seemed to freeze for them. The birds chirped in the distance, and occasionally some flew by, causing Twilight to force a smile. Rainbow started to stroke the back of Twilight's mane, her wings flaring up ever so slightly.
"Twilee," she said softly. Twilight turned her head to face Rainbow's gentle gaze. She lifted her eyebrows in response. "Do you wanna see a movie with me, tonight?" she asked. "Maybe?"
Twilight's heart skipped as she carefully tried to find the correct words. She held Rainbow's gentle gaze as her mind raced in complexion, considering the words she should use. She pondered for the gentle, but rejecting words. Then she realized she didn't need them, just a simple four-letter-word in itself.
"Okay..." She said. Twilight, quickly analyzing the situation, she decided that this date would be a good way to explore deeper into her puzzled mind of emotions and make sense of the situation she was in. She decided she wanted to better understand her. That was the key to the lock. To understand her. To sort out their feelings together. She needed to know what happened between them to spark the flame. She needed to...
Understand her.
