He felt the music rushing through his body, making his heart beat faster and his hooves move to the sound. He danced across the dancefloor, hoove in hoove with the mare. He never spelled her name, but every time he heard it, it sounded like music in his ears.
Her beautiful body covered by a wonderful violet-pink dress that sparkled when she moved her body in the limelight. Her hips softly pressing against his, her hooves holding him tight to herself, her hooves following his steps. Wordless they followed the groove. Her head lay down on his shoulder, a gentle smile across her face.
Her wonderful smile made the ends his lips go up as well. He leaned down a bit to hiss her forehead. She looked up to him and smiled even more. So many words rushing through his head but his lips stayed silent as she raised her head to look him in the eyes.
Still following his steps she leaned closer to his face and lay her lips upon his for a few seconds that made his heart beat even faster. He looked at her when she moved her head back to his shoulder. She closed her eyes and kept listening and following the music while she danced without a single mistake.
He had lots of dancing lessons taken for only this evening. The palace was decorated in the most beautiful colors. The ponies dancing in couples and holding their partners close.
He felt how much it was worth it to get the tickets for the gala. The look on her face told him, that she loved it, even if she didn’t say a word. She slowly pet his coat on his upper hoove that was wrapped around her. She followed the fur against the line and stopped on his shoulder.
The memory of the last night was called back into his mind. They barely talked since then but it wasn’t an awkward silence, it was a silence of nothing more that had to be said. The pair understood perfectly without any use of words.
And exactly that was what he was always searching for, a mare that was able to read his words that were unspoken and unwritten.
She raised a hoove to touch his nose gently, kissing it afterwards. He grinned and kissed hers as well. It would be a shame for him if he would be here with any other mare. Other mares always made him feel embarrassed because they didn’t get along with the way he was. And they mostly just didn’t shut up when it was the time to.
He pulled her closer and she lay her head back on his chest, holding him tight again. The music was nothing more than a sound in the background, all his senses were focused on her. Her hips, slowly moving with his, her hooves following his lead, her head on his chest, her heartbeat and the soft humming of her voice to the sound of the music.
To him, her voice was all the music he needed. Her voice that wasn’t as bothering as most, her voice that always made him smile. The music kept going through the evening and they got themselves something to drink. She always stood close beside him, her side always touching his. And he wished they wouldn’t wear those clothes and he could feel her short fur on his thick coat like the evening before.
On the way back home she fell asleep on the train, her head placed on his shoulder once again. He leaned against her a bit as well.He woke up in time to wake her up too and left the train with her. They walked out and under the dark sky that was brightened up by the stars and the moon. It didn’t take too long until they arrived at his place. He looked at her, his eyes asking for her to stay another night and she nodded and followed him inside.
He brought her into his bedroom where she lay down, looking thankfully at him before she lay her head on the pillows and fell asleep, still wearing the dress. He prepared some buns for breakfast before he followed her to bed. He lay down next to her and closed his eyes in a silent Good-Night.
