Burst hummed happily as he and Moon went inside his house. "So? Did you have fun?"
"The best!", Moon said with a big smile. "I gotta say. I never thought I'd ever get this lucky with my new life."
"I'm just glad you're happy.", Burst said with a smile. Moon looked at Burst before addressing him.
"Burst?"
"What is it Moon?"
"...Would you like to shower with me?", Moon asked with a light blush.
Needless to say, Burst was a little bit shocked. "Uh...gee. I know we've shared a bed before, but this is on a whole new level! Moon...we're talking you and me NAKED in a confined space. I know you've been affectionate in the past, but I don't think we've ever been THIS intimate!"
Moon then looked away in shame. "Sorry! It's just...I've wanted to repay you. I owe you so much..."
"Moon...what're you talking about? You don't owe me a thing."
"No Burst. This new home, my friends, you. All of this is possible because of you. I...I know you think of what you've done as very little. But you're the entire reason I'm even here. And I can't help but feel you deserve something that shows my thanks. And after the incident with Blitz..." Moon began to tear up. "I...I just don't want anyone else to hold me besides you!" Moon then held onto Burst tightly. Burst slowly put his arms around her.
"So you want me to take care of your back again?", Burst asked with a small smile. Moon wiped her tears and led Burst to the shower. The two of them weren't really getting handsy except for washing each other's backs.
"I've gotta say. The warm water's pretty soothing.", Moon said with a blissful sigh.
"Yeah. It really relaxes you after a long day. Today was no exception." Burst then felt Moon kissing his neck. "Moon?"
"I'm so happy...", Moon said as tears fell from her face. "Sometimes I wonder if I even deserve you. You've faced off against villains that threatened to shake this world to its core, and have stood your ground when others would run. And most of all...you were willing to be banished with me without any fear."
Burst took hold of one of Moon's hands. "NEVER ask yourself that question. You helped me too. During the times when I was at my lowest, you helped me get up. You've saved me just as much as I've saved you. You don't need to prove a thing."
Moon smiled. "You don't either. I love you Burst. With all of my heart." Moon pulled Burst into a tight hug as he stepped out with a towel around his waist.
Burst smiled as he returned the embrace. "And I love you with all my heart too. We'd better get dressed. Especially since Pinkie's probably got a party planned for tonight."
