Friday

"Well, Dad has been really laid back ever since he retired, but Mom is just a different animal. She was really tough on Cobalt when I first brought him home, but that was over after about a week." Midnight replied, peeking an eye out from behind her newspaper.

"You're not nervous, are you?" She asked, a hint of playfulness present in her voice.

"What, me? Never! I've never been nervous before in my entire life... Okay maybe once, but not right now!" David hastily replied.

A crooked grin formed on Midnight's lips, and she couldn't help but giggle at the obvious lie.

"Eh, I can't help it. I haven't had to meet my significant other's parents in over a hundred and fifty years. Let's just say that dads that try to scare teenagers with shotguns when they're taking their daughter to prom need to just die out." David said, his brow furrowing in disdain.

"Don't worry, big guy. My Dad is really nice, and I'm fairly certain he doesn't have a 'shotgun'." She teased with air quotes.

"Yeah, fair enough. Maybe he'll be super cool and we'll end up being best bros." David replied with a shrug.

As they rode along in the Canterlot train, heading to Ponyville, the soft clouds parted over the land, and brilliant sunlight once again filtered through onto the world below. Rays of light peered into the cabin of the train while David and Midnight happily chatted away, and the world around them began to shine.

"Perfect. It's about time. The weather schedule said the rain was only supposed to last until Thursday. I was kinda worried when we left and it was still super cloudy out." Midnight replied, her gaze also taking in the light.

"Yeah. That would have put a damper on our plans with your parents, wouldn't it?"

"Well, the plan right now is for them to meet us at the train, and then we'll go out to lunch and just talk and catch up. After that, they wanted to show you around Ponyville a little and I wanted to get with Twilight to thank her for finding that crystal for me." Midnight explained.

"Alright. Wait... You're leaving me alone with them?" David asked, a slight amount of panic rising in his gut.

"It'll only be for a little bit, David. Besides, it's not like they're gonna hurt you or anything. They probably just want to get some one-on-one time with you." She dismissed.

"More like two-on-one. Mid, you can't leave me exposed like that! What if I do something stupid? I'm gonna be the butt of every joke they make for the rest of my life!" He returned, waving his hooves around for emphasis.

"David..." Midnight deadpanned, "Come on now. You know that won't happen. Contrary to what you might think, you're not that bad at first impressions..." She trailed off, "With a... few exceptions."

"Oh, you mean like when the guard attacked me, when I tried to pick a fight with a dude in a crowd of like, fifty ponies, or when I scared you and you got a concussion from running into a wall?" David sarcastically replied.

"Like I said... a few exceptions... Hey, but you managed to make all four of the princesses like you, so you're already doing better than half of Equestria!" She exclaimed, a proud smile on her face.

"Well... I mean, Twilight is just predisposed to like me because I'm an alien. Tia and Luna... well I think they were more afraid of me starting an invasion if they didn't get on my good side, and as for Cadence... well, she's just impossible not to like, I mean, her whole thing is getting ponies to fall in love. Who could hate that?" He replied, shrugging all the while.

"Details, details, details. At the end of the day, does any of that really matter?"

"Exactly. So could you please relax? You're gonna love my parents and they're gonna love you. I mean, they kinda have to. I do and they can't really tell me 'no' anymore so you're gonna be a part of their lives whether they like it or not. It's in their best interest to like you." Midnight finished with a dismissive wave of her hoof.

David chewed his lip in thought for a moment before giving an indecisive shrug and nodding. Midnight smiled at her victory and the cabin fell into a pleasant silence. They both took to simply watching the scenery pass by outside as their train chugged along on its way to Ponyville.

The train pulled into the Ponyville train station and came to a screeching halt. The doors opened, and dozens of ponies began exiting while a few dozen more began to board. In the midst of the crowd Ardent and Sapphire stood, waiting for Midnight and David to pop out of the crowd. After a moment, they saw Midnight's ebony mane peeking through the multicolored crowd, and they called out to her.

David and Midnight swiveled their heads towards the source of the noise and spotted them near the edge of the crowd.

"Hey guys!" Midnight called back, "Alright, there they are, let's get out of this crowd."

After a few moments, Midnight and David arrived on the other side of the crowd, and approached her parents. She quickly wrapped each of them in a hug before taking a step back.

"It's great to meet you both. Mid's been telling me all about you guys for the last week. I'm glad we could finally meet." David said, addressing the pair of thestrals.

Sapphire squinted slightly as if she was trying to get a better look at him while Ardent gave a wide, toothy grin, "And it's a pleasure to meet you, David. We've been really looking forward to getting to know you for the last week." He replied.

David nervously glanced back and forth between Ardent and Sapphire before Midnight awkwardly cleared her throat.

"Well, anyways, let's go guys. This platform is getting kinda stuffy." She said, ushering the group over to the off ramp.

Ardent quickly picked up on her tactics and joined in, "Right, right, come on then. We have quite a day ahead of us." He said, wrapping a wing around his wife and pulling her closer to him.

The group headed out of the train station and made its way through Ponyville with Ardent holding Sapphire behind David and Midnight.

"What? I'm just getting a feel for him, dear." Sapphire replied, matter-of-factly.

"Yes, well, maybe you could get a better 'feel' for him if you were a little more conversational next time?"

"Thank you. Just remember, Midnight's not a filly anymore. She can make her own decisions about who she dates."

"I know, I know. Sometimes it's just hard for me to believe that. It feels like just yesterday she was this big..." Sapphire replied, holding her hoof a foot off the ground while she walked.

Meanwhile, in the front of the group, David and Midnight walked side by side as he took in the sights. While David was used to large crowds and multitudes of different species running around and making a general ruckus as far as the eye could see, there were almost no ponies out and about. Even the few that were out seemed to be absorbed in their tasks and day to day work.

"Yeah, there's only a few hundred ponies that live here. The population is almost exclusively Earth ponies, but there are a few unicorns and pegasi here and there." Midnight replied.

"Ponyville is pretty much all ponies. I think I remember something about a zebra living out in the forest, but as far as other races, my parents are about as exotic as it gets around here." She replied with a shrug.

"Ah, I see. Well, that's cool I guess. I get why they moved here then. This place is really quiet. Must be really peaceful here." David remarked.

"It is for the most part, although I'm sure Twilight would tell you otherwise." Midnight shrugged.

"Yeah, Twilight did say that some weird stuff tends to happen here from time to time." David admitted.

"You don't know the half of it!" Ardent chimed in, earning both David and Midnight's attention. "It feels like every week there's some kind of monster attack or impending doom that almost wrecks half the town." He chuckled.

David paused in his step, forcing Midnight to stop beside him, lest she continue without him. "Wait, seriously?" He asked.

"Oh yeah! We'll have to swap stories over lunch. Come on!" Ardent responded, nodding his head toward the town.

David looked over to Midnight to find her giving him a playful shrug before she followed after the pair of thestrals. David shook his head in confusion for a moment before following behind.

With that, the group made its way further into town. David and Midnight again ended up side by side while Ardent and Sapphire did the same, only this time they led from the front. As they all walked, the soft sounds of birds chirping along with colts and fillies playing in the playground flitted around the town. Midnight glanced over at the school and saw a filly playing with her mother by the swing-set. She couldn't help the warm feeling in her chest as she observed, and a soft smile soon graced her lips.

"Hmm? Oh, nothing, nothing." Midnight replied, quickly casting her gaze to the ground while a small blush formed on her cheeks.

David raised an eyebrow before shrugging it off and proceeding forward. Within a few moments, the group arrived at a building that looked like a giant gingerbread house. David stopped in place just to stare at the utter monstrosity of a building before being pulled along by a smirking Midnight.

"Uh... is the gimmick here that the whole building is edible or something?" David asked, barely keeping his dumbstruck look from turning into one of disgust.

"Haha! No, no, the building isn't edible. It wouldn't exactly last very long if that was the case. No, this place is run by Mr. and Ms. Cake and their friend Pinkie Pie. They make the best cupcakes this side of Equestria," Ardent explained before leaning closer to David, "But between you and me, don't get the 'Rainbow' cupcakes. They're uh, not exactly the best."

"Am I gonna get murdered in there or something? Seriously, this place screams 'serial killer'." He whispered into her ear.

Midnight chuckled and lightly punched David's wither, "Stop it, you. Come on, let's go inside."

David shrugged and followed behind while Ardent, Sapphire and Midnight led the way inside. Upon entering the building, he saw that the inside was just as grotesque as the outside. Everything was candy themed, from the candy cane pillars supporting the building's weight, down to the small cupcake swirl carpet that rested on the floor. David's eyes were assaulted with pinks, yellows, greens, and blues, and it was all he could do to not vomit on the spot from the sheer loudness of the room's coloring scheme.

So lost was he in his disdain for the interior decorating, that he didn't even notice Ardent, Sapphire, and Midnight addressing the yellow stallion he could only assume was Mr. Cake.

"Absolutely. Here, I'll lead you guys right out." Mr. Cake replied, grabbing a menu in his teeth and heading out the side door.

"Huh? Wha? Oh, right." David replied, shaking his head clear of the thoughts about the room's decal.

He hurried after them and found them being seated at a small square table with four chairs sitting around it. Ardent and Sapphire sat down first while Midnight waited for David to arrive before pulling out his seat for him. He blushed at the slight embarrassment before uttering a quiet "thank you" and taking his seat. Midnight just smiled and pulled out her own seat to sit down. A moment later, Mr. Cake set the menu down on the table and pulled out a notepad and pencil from his apron.

"Alright then. I'll give you folks a few minutes to look over the menu and I'll be right back with those drinks." He said before turning around and heading back inside.

A few moments of awkward silence reigned down on the lone table before Ardent cleared his throat.

"So, uh. David, Midnight... How exactly did you two meet?" He asked, obviously attempting to prompt more conversation.

"Well, uh... it's kind of a long story... Basically, when I crashed on the side of Canterlot mountain, my pod was banged up pretty bad and I ended up getting third degree burns all along my right leg, and a titanium rod sticking out of my left leg. Also I got hit in the head by some kind of metal panel and that knocked me out completely. When I woke up, the pod was filling with smoke and I just barely managed to break out. I tried to crawl away from the pod but I only made it about twenty feet before I passed out." David recalled, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Well, a certain beautiful unicorn," David wrapped his wing around Midnight and gave her a little squeeze, "Came to my rescue," Midnight smiled while a blush creeped up her face, "She carried me all the way back up the mountain and brought me back to her house, patched me up, and saved my life." He finished, sharing a loving smile with the graphite mare.

Midnight quickly decided it was her turn to continue the story, "After he woke up the next day, the royal guard showed up and tried to take him back to Canterlot. There uh... Was some confusion and well, David almost died, hehe..."

"Yeah. All the work Midnight did to save me ended up getting undone by the guards chasing me to the edge of a cliff. I got into a pretty nasty fight with at least twenty of those guys before they took me down. In my defense though, I had no idea what was going on. The first thing I remember was waking up and running into Midnight, then she ran into a wall, then a royal guard tried to impale me when I was making sure she was okay." David continued.

"Wait, wait, wait, what? Why did you run into a wall?" Sapphire asked, directing her gaze at Midnight.

"Well... I wasn't expecting him to wake up so soon. When I went to check on him, he was already awake and kinda... in the doorway. Oh, and don't forget, David was bipedal before. He was standing almost twice as tall as I was at the time. So... you know, when you go into a room expecting him to be asleep, only to find a giant alien twice your size looming over you, running away sounds like a pretty good option." Midnight explained, a sheepish smile on her face.

"Well, I woke up in a hospital and was taken to Tia, Luna, Cadence, and Twi for interrogation-" David began.

"Tia? You know, Celestia? The four princesses?" David replied, cocking an eyebrow.

"Oh! Right. Sorry, I've just never heard anypony call the princesses that before." She replied, dismissively waving a hoof.

"Right, anyways, once they deemed me as 'not a threat', I was allowed to live in the castle for a couple weeks while they broke the news of my arrival to the rest of Equestria. Then one day, Tia came to my room and told me that I was going to live with Midnight." David continued.

"We were both a little taken aback by it. I just showed up to see how he was doing, and the next thing I knew, the princess was asking if I was willing to house him. We came to a compromise, and David moved in with me that night." Midnight continued for him.

"Right. Then... I guess we just became really close. Mid was always up for my shenanigans, and she's been a shoulder to lean on whenever I was feeling down, and I'd like to think that I was the same for her." David finished, resting a hoof on Midnight's.

David and Midnight shared a tender moment, just looking into each other's eyes, before Ardent clearing his throat caught their attention, and they immediately separated.

"Right, hehe... Uh, yeah. After a while, we just sorta... happened. I've never met someone more amazing and genuine than Midnight." David awkwardly finished.

"Well, that was quite the story. Regardless, I can see that you two really do make each other happy." Ardent said, giving a warm smile.

Before David or Midnight could reply, Mr. Cake returned with all of their drinks. He expertly slid them off of his back and onto the table before again whipping out his notebook.

"What I usually get. A daffodil sandwich with a side of hay-fries." She replied.

"You certainly can," He replied, writing down both of their orders, "And what about you two?" He asked, looking at Ardent and Sapphire.

"Let's get two dozen of those sugar cookies and four cupcakes." Sapphire replied.

"Great choices. Alright everypony, I'll be right back with your food." He replied, hastily scribbling down their orders and taking the menu with him.

"Alright, you win. You can definitely eat more sugar cookies than me." David admitted defeat while his slightly swollen belly ached from the sugar overdose.

"Haha! What did I tell ya? Nopony can stomach more of these things than I can." Ardent replied. He finished signing the check and hoofed it over to Mr. Cake who gratefully accepted and took his leave.

"How many did you boys eat?" Sapphire asked, eyeing the crumby carnage still littering the table.

Midnight levitated a piece of paper in front of her face while counting tally marks for a few seconds before responding.

"Looks like eight for David... and sixteen for Dad. Jeez..." She frowned at the massive disparity between parties.

Ardent smiled and struck a superhero pose while David smacked his face on the table. A small groan slipped out of his mouth before Midnight's hoof gently rubbed his back.

"Hey, don't worry about it, David. My dad's kinda obsessed with sugar cookies. Almost as much as mom is with mangoes." Midnight comforted.

"Ah, don't worry about that. A walk through the park will do wonders for a stomachache. How's about we head over there and walk lunch off?" Ardent suggested.

"Sounds perfect. Let's go." Midnight replied, helping David to his hooves while his coat changed from red to green.

As the group departed from Sugarcube Corner, they approached a fork in the road. One path led to the castle of friendship while the other led to the park. Upon arriving at the fork, Midnight stopped and addressed everyone.

"Alright guys, I need to go see Twilight for a bit. You go ahead and check out the park and I'll be back in an hour or so." She said.

David's eyes immediately widened while his pupils shrunk to pinpricks, "Uh... a-are you sure? I mean, don't you want to stick around and catch up with your parents while we go through the park?" He asked, nervously glancing back at the pair of thestrals the whole time.

"Don't worry, I'm only going to be gone for a little bit," She replied, before leaning in and whispering into his ear, "They won't bite. Just be friendly and I'm sure you'll be fine."

David turned around to find Ardent and Sapphire waiting patiently by the road leading to the park. He glanced back at Midnight one more time and gave a small nod before heading over to her parents and walking towards the park.

The walk was scenic and calm, and while David appreciated the natural beauty of such an undeveloped town amidst a gorgeous landscape, he couldn't help but feel a slight unease as he found himself in the center of the group of three. With Ardent to his right, and Sapphire to his left, he felt slightly trapped, as if at any moment he would be assaulted with personal questions and pushed to stay away from Midnight 'or else'. Nevertheless, he pressed on, determined to at the very least, make a decent first impression.

The forest made itself known with tall pine trees and a wide variety of mixing smells as spring turned to summer. Budding branches pressed out into the world and provided shade to all who came to relax under their leaves in the mid-morning sun. It was almost beautiful enough for David to forget about the two thestrals eyeing him, then each other with mixed emotions crossing their faces.

Despite their obvious reservations, neither of them said anything until they reached a bench resting against a tree in the park.

"Come now, dear. Take a seat. We want to talk to you." Sapphire replied, waving him over with a wing.

David reluctantly walked over and took a seat on the bench. It's rustic wooden frame sagged ever so slightly as it accepted his weight, but held firm once he was fully seated. A moment later, both Sapphire and Ardent were in front of him with questions clear on their minds.

"Alright... I hope we're not being too rude here, but Midnight is our daughter, blood or not, and we want to protect her no matter what." Sapphire began.

"As far as I know, she's told me everything. Everything from her dreams as a filly to her life as an adult... If this is about Cobalt, then yes, I know what happened to him." David replied, a thoughtful look on his face.

"Yes... Cobalt was a great stallion. He was so kind and gentle with Midnight... It destroyed her when he died. I hope you realize that you are the very first stallion she's even shown an interest in, in almost six years." Sapphire explained.

"I know... And I know that I'm the luckiest guy in the galaxy to be with her." David replied, looking Sapphire dead in the eyes.

"Alright, so you know about her past, but we still don't know a lot about yours. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?" Ardent pressed.

"Well, there's not too much to tell. I lost my mom when I was in high school, my dad worked three jobs so he was never around, my brother and sister both left for college and never came back... once I graduated, I left for the Army, got out after a few years, and ended up crashing in Canterlot. We covered pretty much everything else at lunch." David responded, raising an eyebrow at their interrogation techniques.

"We're, uh... sorry to hear that. That must not have been easy for you." Sapphire said, with some slight hesitation.

"Well, that was over a hundred years ago. It's not like I've got anything left back on Earth now." David replied.

"Over a hundred years ago? How old are you?" Ardent asked, a shocked look on his face.

"I'm pretty sure that I'm about a hundred and sixty five, but for all I know, January here might be October back home, so I could be a hundred and sixty six." David replied, scratching his chin in thought.

Ardent and Sapphire were silent for a few moments as this new information processed. David noticed the pause and decided to continue.

"Before you guys start asking questions, typical human life expectancy is around seventy to a hundred years. The only reason I'm as old as I am is because of cryo technology on my ship. I'm not gonna go into the details since we'll be here all week, but basically it froze me for a hundred and forty two years while we traveled from one galaxy to the next. If we're talking just in terms of my mental age here, then I'm twenty three. Maybe twenty four, like I said, I'm not entirely sure." He finished, leaving dumbstruck look on both Ardent and Sapphire's faces.

"So you're only twenty three... and you've done all that?" Ardent said. There was a slight hint of sorrow in his tone.

David cast his eyes to the ground, "Yeah... Look, I want to be honest with you guys here. I love Midnight. She didn't just save me from the crash, she's the most important pony in my life..."

"When my ship went down, I lost the only three people I had the honor to call my friends. Richie, Roman, and Issac all died while I lived-"

"You wouldn't have. They never made it to the ground. They were jettisoned out into space while I tried to get the door open for them... It's uh... not something I like to talk about... The point is, I was in a bad place, for a very long time because of that... I blamed myself for what happened, and it ate me up inside knowing that I survived while they all died... I still have a hard time dealing with it. The thing is, Midnight stood by my side through it all. She wouldn't leave me, even when I pushed her away... She kept me sane." David trailed off, a slightly glossy look appearing in his eyes.

Ardent and Sapphire shared another glance before Ardent walked over to the bench and placed a hoof on David's wither.

"Heh, you could say that... Look, I get why you're hesitant to trust that I'll be good to her. I'm an alien and you know almost nothing about me... but I swear to Celestia that I love her more than life itself. If I had to, I would die for her. She's my reason for living... She's the best part of my life." David said. His voice lost much of its strength and turned almost into a whisper as he continued.

There was a pregnant moment of silence between the three of them as the two thestrals thought over David's words. Eventually, and with her face scrunched up in deep thought, Sapphire spoke.

"I think I speak for both of us when I say that we didn't want to come across as an obstacle for you to overcome." She replied.

"I would understand if you did, but I'm only here because of her... I want to make her happy... That's all I care about anymore." David spoke again, a more somber expression on his face.

"I think... That's a good enough reason for me." Ardent chimed in, giving David a small smile.

David glanced back to Sapphire to see her contemplating her next words. It took a few moments, but eventually, she knew what to say.

"Well... Midnight already loves you, that much is clear. I know I might have come across as standoffish earlier, but I just wanted to be sure that she made a good choice... And I think I can safely say that she did." Sapphire said, taking a seat to David's left and draping her leathery wing around him.

David gazed into her her amber eyes and for the first time, saw no signs of distrust or deception. For the first time since meeting her, those cat-like eyes of hers only shown with honestly and warmth. It was enough to make his heart ache.

With that, Sapphire retracted her wing and hopped off of the bench. David followed close behind and was quickly swept up in a bear hug by Ardent.

Ardent release his grip and tussled David's mane until it was wild and sticking out all over the place.

David chuckled and fixed his mane before readdressing the two thestrals, "Alright, so now what?"

"Well... I was kinda hoping to get your approval on something." David answered, scratching the back of his neck.

Midnight walked out of the Castle of Friendship to find the sun just beginning its descend to the horizon. She smiled at the sight before heading over toward the park to meet back up with David and her parents. As she trotted along the path, she passed a few other ponies who were out and about and gave them a friendly wave. They eagerly returned the gesture, and Midnight continued along.

"Huh, I see why mom and dad love this place. Ponies are so friendly here." Midnight thought aloud.

The trees jutting out along the road cut the pouring sunlight into thin rays of yellow, and Midnight had to squint to see just where she was going as a particular ray aimed right for her eyes. As she progressed toward the park, the sounds of fillies and colts playing nearby, again rang in her ears, and she couldn't help but glance over to see three small fillies chasing each other in a game of tag.

Midnight couldn't hold back the smile that formed on her face as the orange pegasus chased the yellow earth pony around a tree several times, before stumbling away in a dizzying display of over-commitment, all while the white unicorn laughed and laughed. Turning her gaze back to the road, Midnight realized that she was already at the entrance to the park. She quickly stepped in and searched for David and her parents.

It didn't take long for her to find the crimson pegasus and pair of thestrals. They were sitting on a bench, chatting and laughing at some unknown joke. Midnight felt her heart melt and a small shiver went up her spine. A profoundly wide smile graced her lips as she saw how well David was getting along with her parents.

"That took a little longer than I expected. Sorry I was gone for so long." Midnight apologized.

"Don't worry about it. We kinda took the time to get to know each other. I had no idea your parents ran the night school here." David replied.

"What? Wait, you guys run the night school?" Midnight asked, nearly doing a double take.

"Oh, there's a lot of things we've been up to lately. We just didn't have time to tell you all about it last time your were here." Sapphire responded, dismissively waving a hoof.

"Anyways, we wanted to show you something. Over there by the lake, there's a really pretty flower that only grows this time of year. Why don't you two go check it out." Sapphire announced, nudging David with her wing.

"Right, come on, Mid. Let's go check it out." David replied, discretely winking at Sapphire while he hopped off the bench.

David quickly led her away from the tree and towards the lake while her parents stayed behind. Midnight glanced back to find them waving at her from the tree, and a confused look adorned her face. She turned back around to follow David, but could not see his face from her position behind him. She hastily moved up to walk beside him, only for him to wrap a wing around her barrel and pull her closer. He took the opportunity of their newfound closeness to nuzzle his cheek against hers, and Midnight couldn't help but giggle into his cheek.

Soon enough, they found themselves at the water's edge. David unhooked his wing from Midnight's barrel and turned to face her properly.

"So?" Midnight pressed, a small smirk on her face, "We're not here to look at a flower, are we?"

"Aha, no, no we're not. I told them that you wouldn't buy that." David replied, chuckling just slightly.

A slight laugh escaped her lips, "Well, I never knew mom to be good at lying. Guess that's where I get it from."

"Yeah. You are terrible at lying, aren't you?" He asked, grinning all the while.

"Am I gonna have to get down on my knee and do the whole shebang?" David asked, giving an accusatory grin.

"Well... I mean... I was gonna do it, but I know how you get with these things." Midnight replied, giving a smug grin to match his.

With that, David kneeled down and unfurled his right wing. He brought the tip of his pinfeather just in front of Midnight's face and presented a gold ring. It was just wide enough to fit at the base of her horn.

"Midnight Shadow, will you marry me?" He asked, gazing into her sapphire eyes like they held all the world's secrets.

Midnight maintained her smile, but her eyes quickly watered. She lit her horn up and pulled a tiny box out from under her mane and opened it in front of David.

"Why do you think I got this?" She asked as tears began streaming down her face.

In the box, was another gold ring, sized perfectly to fit David's pinfeather. The ring glistened in the daylight, and David had to stop tears of his own from forming.

With that, David rose to his hooves and gently slipped the ring over Midnight's horn. It effortlessly slid down to the base of her horn were it came to a comfortable rest. Immediately, he felt Midnight's magic on his pinfeather, and saw Midnight's ring leave it's box and lightly slip onto the feather. It slid all the way down until it reached it's final resting place, neatly nested in his wing.

They shared another loving look with each other as the sunlight glistened off their new shiny gold rings, and without another moment's hesitation, they leaned forward and kissed.
