//------------------------------// // Gallus and Silverstream Admit their True Feelings for Each Other // Story: Love Griffs // by Majestical4729 //------------------------------// The next day, which was the eve of Hearts and Hooves Day, every creature was getting ready to admit their relationship opinions. With the exception of Silverstream, who barely slept the previous night, having cried and stayed awake because of her broken heart. Gallus then showed up and greeted his best friends, "Hey, every creature, are you all ready to hear my..." he then noticed the zombie-like expression on Silverstream, before screaming in horror and asking, "Silverstream! What is wrong with you?!" "What's wrong with her? You! That's what." Smolder answered her own question for Gallus to hear. "What do you mean?" Gallus asked. "What Smolder meant was, Blue Griffon hurt Silverstream's feelings!" Yona clarified. "You acted all uncomfortable whenever she's around, and Head-mare Starlight said that you are uncomfortable with confessing your relationship with a 'friend' to that 'friend'! And you were afraid that it would go bad after that 'friend' knowing it! And, it really did!" Ocellus evaluated. "What?!" Gallus asked in shock. "Silverstream figured out it was her, and you must be hating her!" Sandbar finished his and his friends' side of the conversation. "What?! No!" Gallus exclaimed before rushing up to Silverstream, "Silverstream, I'm so sorry! Please forgive and listen to me! The truth is: I do not hate you, and I never did, nor do." "WHAT?!" the rest of the Young Six asked in shock. "Wait, you didn't?!" Silverstream asked, regaining energy. "The only reason I was uncomfortable around you, was because...I was actually nervous and scared that you would be shocked to know my true feelings for you, because...it's pretty...dramatic. The point is, I actually have a strong feeling for you, and it actually is...love. I love you," Gallus confessed, holding up Silverstream's claw with his. Silverstream instantly reverted to her cheerful, hyperactive self, as she asked, "REALLY?!" "Yes, I have a crush...on you." Gallus admitted. "Oh, Gallus! This is the best news I have ever heard and ever had!" Silverstream hugged the griffon she loved. "Wait, what?! You're not shocked?!" he asked. Silverstream explained, "I was heart-brokered when I thought that you hated me, and never slept the whole night because I was so upset! And the only reason I was so upset to strongly believe that you hated me, was because I loved you. Romantically." "What?! I thought you didn't!" Gallus responded. "Me too! Especially when I thought you hated me!" Silverstream blurted out. "Looks like we do have a special relationship after all," Gallus commented. "We do?! That's amazing! I can't wait to let our teachers know..." Silverstream began, before being cut off by Ocellus. "Um, Silverstream? You...actually don't have to." the cyan changeling then pointed to the crowd of ponies in the Main Hall, making the two lovers realise that they just admitted their feelings for each other in front of the entire school! With their cheeks turning red, Gallus and Silverstream were obviously embarrassed as Gallus spoke up, "Well, at least you all know what admitting your true feelings for each other is like!" "And maybe can be more prepared and confident to do so?!" Silverstream added. "Gallus, Silverstream," Head-mare Starlight approached the two, "I know how embarrassing this is for you two, but that was one of the bravest things I've ever seen you two do. So I decided, that you two shall get the highest scores for this year's Hearts and Hooves' Event!" The crowd cheered for Gallus and Silverstream, who were relieved that the moment of embarrassment ended as soon as it began. Later that evening, Gallus and Silverstream were in Silverstream's room, cleaning up the mountain of used tissues, and the detective's workings. "I can't believe that you did all this...because of... me..." Gallus told Silverstream, feeling guilty for how he made his friend suffer. "I'm sorry too, Gallus...for being so...dramatic..." Silverstream apologised. "Oh great. We both did something we feel sorry about, and apologised to each other. Can't this day get any mushier about our relationship?" Gallus asked. He then took a step backward, not noticing a small needle from Rarity's stitching class that was hiding there. Upon getting poked by its sharp edge, Gallus screamed in pain while leaping forward, resulting his first kiss with Silverstream, as his beak made contact with hers. Embarrassed and blushing, Gallus tried to apologise for the unintended kiss, "I'm so sorry! That was an accident! I didn't mean to..." Instead of being mad or upset, Silverstream was actually happy about the kiss. She told Gallus, "Oh, Gallus! That kiss was the best thing ever!" "It is?!" a confused Gallus asked. "I was really upset when I thought you hated me, and was really cheered up to know that you truly loved me, and now, that kiss...was everything I could ask for..." Silverstream described, with obviously daydreaming of romance, as hinted in her tone. "Really?! You...liked the...you know...kiss?!" Gallus nervously asked. Silverstream nodded. She then replied, "It was everything to me," "So...you liked the kiss, and my true feelings for you?" Gallus asked. "Totally!" Silverstream exclaimed, sending like the Laughter Teacher, Pinkie Pie. "I...I...like it, too...you know." Gallus admitted, blushing in embarrassment, "And since we both like...each other...should we start a relationship like Yona and Sandbar?" Gallus asked. "But I thought you said that you were afraid that our relationship will change!" Silverstream reminded him. "Only because I thought that you'll reject me." Gallus clarified. "So you really want us to be a...thing?" Silverstream asked. "Well, yeah...I mean no...I mean...something like...that?" Gallus stumbled. "Don't worry, I'll be ready when you are." Silverstream assured him. "Okay...I actually think that it's mushy like Yona and Sandbar...but...now I figured...maybe it's not really that bad..." Gallus admitted, before Silverstream interfered. "WHAT?! You thought that romance is bad?!" she asked in a tone that strongly resembled Pinkie Pie's crazy tone. "Well, I didn't! I mean...we teased Yona and Sandbar at the Amity Ball, and a few days ago about their relationship...I just don't want you to get teased..." Gallus explained. "But didn't Professor Fluttershy and our friend Smolder taught the dragons that we should not hide our true passions just because they may risk making us get teased?" Silverstream reminded. "I...guess that I have a lot of Friendship Studies to each up on..." Gallus scratched his head, embarrassed. "Don't worry, I'll help you." Silverstream reassured him, placing her claw on his shoulder.
