//------------------------------// // Short's Confession PMs // Story: Equestrian Fanfiction // by Lise //------------------------------// I need to talk to you. Short&Hoofy They found PaintDrop? RRBB Not yet... But it's still important. Short&Hoofy Okay. Just come to my room. I couldn't get much sleep anyway. RRBB No. I want to talk to you here. Short&Hoofy Short, I'm really not in the mood. :/ We're a door apart! Just get your fluffy *yay* in here and tell me what's wrong! RRBB It's not that simple. It never is... each time things are almost perfect and I try to tell you race to face something happens. Problems at school, arguments with your parents, your depression, YouKnowWho... Sometimes I wish I were a simple leaf, floating on the wind, never stopping to contemplate what is, was, it might be. Life if much more simpler for a leaf—it only knows it is, unburdened by the world around it. And no matter what it does it'll always find another leaf to be with, maybe even smoke a bit as they both turn golden brown and fade away. What am I saying? I guess that I love you. I have for years. I can't even remember since when I've wanted to say this. If Luna could see my dreams she'd find more you in there than me. Why? Because you made my life worthwhile—the most pretty, gentle mare Equestria has known. Every time I looked at you I saw beneath your surface. You were never rude, nor a witch, no matter how much you tried to act that way. If fantasize of us being together so many times. I knew I was invisible to you, I knew you kept chasing after YouKnowWho, yet it never mattered. You, you are the only thing that matters. Please don't think this is a joke. It isn't. This is what I could never tell you to your face, no matter how much I tried. I know that after you read it we might never talk again, yet while I write this we share this single moment: me on this side of the door, you on the other, each looking forward, almost as if were gazing at each other. Nothing matters in the end. In a month I'll be moving to the Crystal Empire and you'll never see me again. You might not want to. I can tell what you feel for YouKnowWho. She's strong, athletic, far more beautiful, and she likes you... merely as a friend for now, but given time who knows? Miracles are known to happen, just not to me. At least there's Pixel. Seeing how you adore him, I have no regrets. At least now there will be something that reminds you of me, while you are always in my heart. Short&Hoofy You can say if you don't like it. You can never hurt my feelings. Short&Hoofy Please don't cry... Short&Hoofy You piece of *yay*! RRBB Why, why did you have to do this to me?! I'm a wreck as it is and you... *yay* *yay*! You're EndlessHearts! You made an alt account just to write the best story on the site for me to notice you? Well, it hurts! A lot! Why couldn't you just tell me?! RRBB I never wanted to hurt you... I just... They say you're self centered and egoistic. They were wrong. I am the one who thinks about herself. I was so scared you'd reject me so I made up someone you'd like—everything you told me you wished for. Short&Hoofy Just as things were going well with YouKnowWho... Why couldn't you say something half an year ago! Hay, why didn't you tell me at the meetup! I was so desperate then I thought I'd die. All you needed was to whisper the words. RRBB And let you be with somepony out of desperation? You don't deserve that. You deserve to be happy. Short&Hoofy And you don't? :/ RRBB I don't matter. Not really. Short&Hoofy PaintDrop knew about this, didn't she? All the theoretical questions she asked about finding somepony like me. All the hints she was dropping. That's why she got mad every time I went with YouKnowWho. She was looking out for you. And me. Who else knows? Lyra? Your sister? I bet that's why Max's been so mad at me lately. RRBB I think Lyra always suspected. My sister learned a short time ago. She always knew I was fully inclined, yet didn't think I had it for you. If you hadn't tried to harm yourself nopony would have known. You scared me so much then. When I heard you'd tried to break your leg I felt a block of ice sprout inside of me. Short&Hoofy You went silent. RRBB It's difficult to write when I'm crying. I thought the door between us would help. It doesn't. I still feel pain when I breathe. Short&Hoofy I know... RRBB We're too idiots, aren't me? We both chase after the impossible knowing it would hurt us. And yet, we prefer to tighten our grip round the thorns, just to get a whiff of the rose’s smell. Short&Hoofy I wrote stories for YouKnowWho, you know. They were *yay* and she didn't even read such stuff, but it didn't matter. I used to kick her just to hear her say my name. You, you were always there and I didn't even notice. RRBB I knew. I could always tell you wrote them for her. Maybe one day you'll write something for me? Short&Hoofy I don't know... It's so... Don't make me choose! Not now. RRBB That tells me all I need to know. I'll PM my sister to come and get me. Short&Hoofy Short, please... RRBB None of us can fool nature, my princess. I'm not as strong as you, I never was. I'll always be glad to have met you :) We'll find PaintDrop and she'll be fine. You'll see. :))) Short&Hoofy Short... RRBB Tell me when my sister gets here. Please. Short&Hoofy
