It's been a while and Lapis is still sleeping.... I kinda like where I am right now
Sunset Shimmer was lying on her bed with Lapis Lazuli on her chest because she was still sleeping. The former unicorn had already finished her morning routine a while ago and was surprised that the gem still hasn't woken up from her sleep. She was staring at the ceiling as hours passed by and her phone was charging.
"I wonder what the future will be when I didn't pick your mirror at the beach.... Would you still be in that mirror? Will another human pick you up and treat you differently? Will that person even try to fix you so because you deserve to live better than them?" Sunset said to herself as she felt that she was the only person in the room.
"I.... I can't think of a future without you, Lapis..." Sunset Shimmer whispered with a small smile on her face.
Lapis Lazuli started opening her mirror eyes and was surprised she was still on Sunset's chest. She raises her head to see that Sunset was wide awake, staring at the ceiling. It seems like she was dressed in her daytime clothes. Lapis was shocked that she had slept that long.
Sunset looks at Lapis with a surprise expression. Both of their noses touched and they were looking at each other, it felt like they had created their own universe whenever they looked at each other. Lapis shakes her head a little and so does Sunset to remove the weird thoughts inside their heads. Lapis stopped and gave her savior a cute smile which was really cute that it made Sunset, trying her best to control her emotions and not exploding in happiness.
"I never would have thought that sleeping would be so much fun! Now I know why humans love this activity, Sunset!" Sunset chuckles and rubs Lapis's head. The gem relaxed on the former unicorn's touch.
"Well, humans need sleep so that we can store our energy for tomorrow's activity. Well there's napping when you feel really tired from the activities you have done that are extreme and fun." Sunset said.
She felt that Lapis began to remove her head off her chest and sit down on the bed. Something is definitely wrong and Sunset could sense it. She sat up and looked at Lapis's cracked gem.
I forgot that her gem is cracked. If only there's a way to fix it....
"I know this will be a sore subject to you but... why is your gem cracked?" She could see that the gem started to tense up and slowly breathing heavily, like Lapis was having a panic attack from the question.
Sunset immediately regretted asking that question and quickly wraps her arms around the gem's waist. She turns Lapis around so they can both look into each other's eyes.
"Calm down, Lapis! Just take a deep breath!"
"I-I-I-I-I-can't!" Sunset starts rubbing the gem's shoulder, her eyes are still locked onto the gem's mirror eyes.
"Follow my lead". Lapis Lazuli observes Sunset Shimmer for a while before starting to follow Sunset's breathing rhythm. She puts her hands on the former unicorn's shoulder so that she would have something to support.
"Good girl, Lapis! You can stop when you feel like you can properly breathe again". Sunset smiled as Lapis was starting to calm down. As Lapis finally calmed down, she looked at Sunset with a cute smile on her face which made her savior blush a little.
"Thank you, Sunset. I'm glad that you helped me".
"It was nothing. I'm sorry for asking that question, I just want to know so that I could try to find a way to fix it". Sunset said with an upset tone in her voice.
"Sunset. I don't think there's a way to fix my gem... but I'm happy that you're trying your very best to take care of me. I'm really grateful for that. I'm not ready to tell you the story behind my gem.. not yet". Lapis said as she moves her right hand to Sunset's cheek and caresses it with her thumb.
"Please, be patient with me".
"Of course! It's just that... A beautiful gem like you deserves to be treated right". Sunset softly said. This made Lapis blush and stop caressing Sunset's cheek.
"Yo-You think I'm beautiful?" Lapis asked which made Sunset confuse to say what it was like the gem's first time hearing a compliment.
"Of course!" Lapis Lazuli slowly shakes her head and looks away, blushing a little.
"You're the first one to say that to me. I don't know how to describe what you just said though... I feel so happy that you said that sweet words to me." Lapis said as she puts her hands to her chest, where she feels something funny.
"Haven't you experienced getting complimented before?" Sunset asked.
"Com...plimen....ted?" Sunset chuckles because of how Lapis looked cute in her confused expression.
"A compliment is a polite expression of praise or admiration. Just like what I had said that you're beautiful". Sunset said that it got Lapis thinking.
"Interesting.... May I try doing that?"
"Of course!" Sunset happily said and waited because Lapis Lazuli was starting to think of how to compliment her savior. After a few minutes of waiting, Lazuli gave up and started to cry cutely. This struck an arrow on Sunset's heart. "I can't think of anything! I'm a horrible gem being!"
"Lapis, it's okay! Complimenting doesn't have a time limit. There's no rush. You can compliment everyone you care about here". Sunset cooed and this made Lapis smile.
"You're the only one I care about here, Sunset". The former unicorn took Lapis's hands and both of their fingers intertwined with each other.
"One day, Lapis. I know that I'm not going to be the only one you will care about. You can create your very fantasy here with someone you want to be with forever along with the people that care about you". Sunset softly said. It made the gem cry a little.
"Then I want you to be with me forever... along with the people I soon will care". The former unicorn blush is really red like her hair and looks away.
"Ah geez, you're making me blush, Lazuli. I didn't know other lapis lazulis are this flirty". Lapis giggled because of how cute and flustered her Sunset is.
"I am pretty much the popular lapis back then and I'm glad that I still have my charms but only for you".
Both of them shared a laugh and they hugged each other in happiness. The two of them fell off the bed and groaned in pain because of the impact of their heads, bumped as they fell. Sunset rubs her head and blushes when Lapis was sitting on her stomach as she was rubbing her head as well. The gem quickly gets off and lifts her savior up like she was light weight.
"Are you okay?" Lapis asked and Sunset shyly nods her head because she feels so light to the gem. The gem puts the former Equestrian to the ground and sits down at the bed.
"How come you can lift me up like I had no weight?!" Sunset asked for curiosity and surprised the gem because of the former unicorn's face close to hers.
"U-Um... well... We're different from humans. Although some of our my kind appear like this, our gems also store our power to have enormous strength when it comes to deadly situations". Lapis explained.
"But you always pick me up when I fall down or if I'm on the ground and there's no deadly situations involved? Are you sure you use it for that?"Sunset asked with a teasing smirk on her face with made Lapis blush dark blue.
"I - I am sure! I'm a gem, Sunny!" Sunset laughed and sat next to Lapis who was looking away with an cute angry pout on her face.
"I'm just messing with you, Laz". Sunset said as she ruffles the gem's hair and Lapis enjoys Sunset's touch and leans her head on the former unicorn's shoulder.
Sunset Shimmer smiled and leans her head to Lapis and both of them enjoyed each other's company. Sunset frowned when she felt her heart beating uncontrollably when she imagines being close to Lapis Lazuli. She never felt this way when she dated Flash Sentry back then. She puts her hand to where her heart is place inside and thinks about what the feeling is.
Why do I feel sparks? What is this feeling?! My friends do this to me but I only felt happiness but with Lapis.... NO! It can't be.... I CAN'T BE IN LOVE WITH HER!!
