//------------------------------// // VIII~Wrong, So Very Wrong // Story: Can It Be Us? // by King_Again //------------------------------// Wrong, So Very Wrong Twilight was kissing her. Sunset pulled away, gazing with shock, and she saw Twilight smiling softly, and she gulped. How could she have missed it all? The way Twilight shifted nervously, the way she wanted to speak privately, how she was asked to meet her at the park after school, and the way she was asked if she was doing anything yesterday. "Twilight... I..." Sunset began... "What the fuck." The two girls jumped and Sunset's jaw dropped when she saw her friends, but her heart twisted when she saw Sugarcoat standing there looking with an expression mixed with hurt, anger, and sadness. Her eyes were wide, and her mouth was shut tightly in a firm line. No. This wasn't happening! Luckily it had been Indigo who stepped up and sided with Sunset on this one, telling them to remember it wasn't Sunset who started the kiss but Twilight. Sunset felt this gave them a reason to hate Twilight now. Forget what they said they would do, no, this gave them hate. What would happen now? Who was going to break the silence that came after Indigo's words? Sunset felt her throat dry up and she moved towards Sugarcoat before stopping herself. Her eyes showed fear and worry that this would end their relationship to the point where the Shadowbolts felt bad for Sunset, being placed into this awkward situation. But it wasn't like Sunset had put herself into this, no. It had been Twilight's choice to kiss the girl. Sugarcoat moved towards Sunset and saw the girl was ready for a slap on the face, ready for shouts of anger, and the declaration of the relationship to be over. Instead, however, Sugarcoat just stood there, gulping. "Sugar... I..." Sunset weakly mumbled. "I know," Sugarcoat replied, "You had nothing to do with it." Indigo growled and folded her arms, "It's all her. Which by the fucking way, would you mind explaining to us what you were doing with her in the first place? I mean, yeah, we all saw the kiss, but still!" "She wanted to tell me something," Sunset replied. "Which now meant confessing." Sour smiled sweetly at the nervous girl. "Well, sweetie, you now see Sunset is taken!" She growled darkly. "Which was a total fucking dick move on your part to kiss her! In front of her girlfriend," Here she pointed at Sugarcoat. "Great job, Twilight Sparkle." "I'm sorry," Twilight weakly mumbled, looking down at the ground, "I didn't know..." "Of course you didn't," Sugarcoat snapped. "You never asked, and I don't know why you even talk with her in the first place. It was stupid and you're really bad at seeing the signs of a relationship." "She never told me..." "Because you never asked!" Sunset groaned, throwing her hands up in the arm. "Yeah, I mean, sure anyone would've done that in your place, but at least they could do was ask before going out of their way to try and date them! It might've been if I hadn't meet Sugarcoat and fallen in love with her, but I wouldn't trade her for the world!" Twilight gulped and back away slowly. This was going down fast, and she didn't think it would go like this. She honestly thought it was going to be smoother and more happy towards her. She thought Sunset would return the feelings, but instead, she had a girlfriend and Twilight had no idea. Only because she hadn't asked and this was all her fault. She'd be lucky if Sunset ever forgave her for this. "You fucked up, Sparkle," Lemon hissed out, placing her hand on Sunset's shoulder while she tried to calm down. Her eyes blazed with what looked to be fire. "You could've asked if she was single." "I... I thought..." Twilight tried once more before stopping herself. "I guess I thought she was single." "Well she isn't!" snapped Sour Sweet. Sunset watched as her friends tore Twilight to pieces with their words, and all she could do was hold onto Sugarcoat while watching. She wanted to stop them. She wanted to tell Twilight it was okay, and it was just a misunderstanding but she knew it wasn't. How could this be called a misunderstanding? Sugarcoat didn't open her mouth, only stared at the girl who looked like she might cry. Tears pricked at Twilight's eyes, and she felt bad. She knew Twilight didn't know about them being together, but the nagging feeling of anger at her was overwhelming, and that's all she could sense at the moment. "You should've asked," Sugarcoat finally said, narrowing her eyes. "Maybe you would've known them you don't stand a chance." Sunny frowned heavily. "Sunset, dearie, if you thought we were going to be friends with her, you can think again. Why would we want to be friends with someone like that? Who tries to rip apart a relationship!" "I didn't know!" Twilight shot back, wiping her eyes. "If I had known, I wouldn't have done it!" "Twilight," Sunset suddenly spoke up, and her friends went quiet for her to talk, "You shouldn't talk to me for a while now. Not until I can figure out if I can forgive you." Twilight didn't respond, even as they walked away from her. She sniffed before slowly pulling out her phone and checked the time. Maybe if she walked home slowly, then her parents would be making dinner so they didn't have to see her red shot eyes. And wouldn't have to ask her about Sunset until dinner arrived. That night during dinner, Twilight didn't speak, she only spoke when they asked her how she was doing. Shining Armor and Cadance weren't there, having to gone to their house to have date night. Her parents didn't know she planned on asking Sunset out, they only knew she met with her at the park. Shining had dropped her bag off at the house before heading home himself. It was awkwardly silenced throughout dinner, and right after, she placed her dish in the sink before sprinting off to her room, and sat down at her desk before rubbing her eyes. Her mind kept playing the horrible event over and over again, not even Spike could break her out of the thought. She didn't bother doing her homework she ended up getting, she just got her pamjas on and went to bed, and sniffed. This was a horrible day. The next day, Twilight didn't feel any better, but she put on her uniform, grabbed her bag, and headed out the door. Her parents were at work, like always on a Thursday, and when she reached Crystal Prep, Twilight sighed heavily before pushing open the doors and she was met with whispers. A few looks towards her, and then they turned to whisper to each other. Twilight gulped, suddenly feeling nervous. This hadn't happened before. Yeah, they whispered about her, but the air felt... changed somehow. One whisper caught her ears. "Hey, did you hear what happened yesterday?" One student whispered to his friend. "Rumor has it Sunset was kissed by another girl." "Shit, what did Sugarcoat do about it?" His friend whispered back. "Saw it happen, she ain't blaming Sunset but the one who did it. Sunset didn't start the kiss, nor did she return it," The student chuckled. "A pretty loyal girlfriend to have, yeah?" Twilight felt her feet speed up towards her lab and shut the door tightly, she slide down and sighed heavily. How did everyone else find out about it? Did one of Sunset's friends go around and tell everyone? Was it Lemon Zest? Sunny Flare? Sour Sweet? Indigo Zap? Perhaps Sunset or Sugarcoat themselves? Her heart twisted. "This isn't how I thought it would go..." "Are you doing okay?" Sunset looked up to see a black haired student gazing at her. Colt Crush. "I heard what happened yesterday." "How does everyone know?" Sunset asked, raising an eyebrow. Colt shrugged, "Word gets around easily here." "Geez," Sunset sighed, "Yeah, I guess I'm okay. I... I just don't know how I missed the signs. I could've told her straight up I wasn't single, but I didn't." "Why didn't you?" "Because I didn't think she would fall for me!" Colt sighed heavily and patted her shoulder. He could totally understand. There had been so many times when his sister had been put through this. So seeing it happen to Sugar's girlfriend wasn't helping the feeling. He felt bad for the girl, and he hoped she could make it past this. "Look," Colt began, "I know what you're going through. My sis went through this too. You're feeling toren. Just... go with your heart, okay? Even if you decide to forgive the girl, you need to keep it straight you can only be friends with each other." "All I heard about you was you used to crush on Sugar, but now, you're helping me," laughed Sunset. "What changed?" "A lot of things," Colt beamed brightly. "You'll be fine, okay? Sugar loves you, and you love her. All you need to do is figure out what you're doing now. Forgive her or never forgive her." Sunset took a moment before shaking hands with Colt. "Thanks, Colt..." "No problem." Sunset didn't know what to do. Not anymore. She didn't want to give up her friendship with Twilight, but it just seemed like it was heading in that direction. Good god, what was she going to do?
