This is a surprise, I just gotta remember what the secret ingredient was. It was red, what was red......tomato? No, I already added that. Bell pepper? Urgh..." Local human, Kobe, sat back in his chair in the dining room, watching his special somepony, Forgetful Memories, stare at a red strand of yarn delicately tied around her floofy hoof while preparing dinner. "You sure?" he asked. "It's my mother's special recipe," the pegasus pouted, staring daggers at the yarn. "It is in my smol pony genes to remember her recipe!" "I know that, but I feel bad for just sitting around and let you struggle with-" "PAPRIKA!!!" she squeaked. "The secret ingredient was PAPRIKA!" "Welp, it's not a secret recipe anymore." Kobe giggled. "Bet the whole neighhhhhborhood heard that one." "Ha ha, your pony puns are hysterical." The sarcastic pegasus flew up to a high cabinet and grabbed a small bottle of paprika and mixed it with her mystery dish. "Close your eyes for me, sweetums." she said sweetly, shuffling into the dining room with her surprise special. "Okie dokie then." Kobe nodded, following her instructions. There, the bouncy pegasus plopped down two large festive bowls filled with a vast assortment of beans, cheese, seasonings, tomatoes, rice and carrots on the table. And with a generous sprinkle of paprika. "May I present, Mama Thoughts' famous taco bowls!" Forgetful squeed as Kobe opened his eyes. "Now with a lovely Forgetful touch." "What touch is that?" "Love, of course!" "Awwwww, I dunno what to say. That I'm touched, or that that was cheesier than this Fiesta blend you topped this off with." "Oh, hush," Forgetful pouted playfully, trotting toward her seat across from Kobe. "You know you crave my cooking, sweetheart." "Meow." two cats squeaked, brushing up against Kobe's leg. "Your fur babies seem to appreciate it too, it seems." he said, taking a bite of his meal. "Nnnno! This is my bowl, girls." "Mew!" "I said nnnno, Aqua!" "Hissssss!" "Same for you, Sasha!" Swinging their tails in a huff, the fur babies scurry off. "Cooking is my thang!" Forgetful stated cockily, nibbling her food with a cheeky grin. "Both hoomans and animals adore my culinary creations, ha ha ha!" "One of many reasons why I wuv you." "Hmm. I......I am sorry that you have to deal with my flighty flank. I know I can be a bit clumsy at times." The pegasus hung her head low, mane covering her face. Kobe chuckled, wiping bits of mushed tomato off his lip. Rising from his seat, he kneels down eye-level beside the embarrassed mare. He smiles, resting his hand against the mare's soft cheek and lifting her chin up to meet his gaze. "Do you hear me complaining?" he asked, leaning in to kiss her forehead before booping her nose. "I suppose not." she hummed, scrunching up her muzzle playfully. "Nopony's perfect, we all have our quirks. I didn't fall in love with you 'cuz of your cooking or your looks. Your imperfections are what makes you you, and I care for my angel baby." "Oh, Kobe..." "Who's the best boo ever?" "Um......you?" "Eenope, try again." "Awww, can't be me. I be just a silly smol mare." "A silly, smol mare I cherish very much." Grateful, Forgetful laid her head upon the human's shoulder with a smile as he tied the red strand of yarn around her mane. "You always know how to make a mare feel special." she sighed blissfully. "I try, cutie." Kobe uttered, playfully digging through the pony's poofy hair. "You're special to me." "Eep! What are you doing, goof?" "Trying to find the li'l chef in that mane. It's in there somewhere, I know it!" "Hee, you and your hooman movies." Forgetful giggled, nuzzling up under her boo's arm. "So adorkable." "You adore me though." Kobe hummed, leaning in to nibble on her ear. "Mmmm, I do......I really do." The sly human lightly tugged on her fluffy twitching ear, sending shivers up her spine. Kobe pulled up a seat beside the mare mid-nibble and moves closer, kissing down her warm neck. "Sweetie," the panting pegasus muttered. "I have to tell you something. It's rather important." "Oh, really? What's up?" With a cheeky smile, Forgetful leaned in to whisper in his ear. "I love you." On that sweet note, she slinked back, staring up at her man's blushing face. She slowly stands in her seat and crawls over the table, closing distance before giving him a slow peck on the lips. Her majestic wings curled up in delight as she wrapped her hooves around her man's neck, further deepening the kiss and sitting up in his lap. Kobe softly brushed a hand through her colorful mane, holding her close in his firm embrace. The fires of passion fully lit, the two delicately break the kiss and stared into each other's eyes. "Mmm, taco kisses." Kobe snickered. "The best kind of kisses." Forgetful purred, resting a hoof on his chest. "Follow me, hon." The quirky mare fluttered her wings, helping her boo to his feet and guiding him to the living room. As they entered, Forgetful sat Kobe down on the couch and plopped into his lap once more. "I want you to cuddle me." she stated dreamily. "Cuddle me real good." "As you wish, my queen." Forgetful giggled happily as Kobe wrapped her in a tender bear hug from behind, gently nuzzling a cheek against her blushing face. The pegasus' love for her hooman had ignited her craving for cuddles. Kobe continued the neck kissies on his lady, laying down with her on the couch and gently massaging her fuzzy belly. "Mmph!" she panted softly. "That feels so good." "Did an awesome possum pony enjoy her dinner tonight?" Kobe cooed. "Oh, yesssss. A l-little higher, please..." Kobe brushed his massages up from her belly to her chest, losing his hand in a sea of fluff. "You're so soft." Kobe sighed, squeezing his best pony in a passionate huggle. "I'm so lucky to have you." "No, I'm the luckiest one!" the breathless pegasus gasped. "I am." "Nuh uh, I am!" "Like to see ya prove it." "Then bring dat mouth here, boy!" Dare now set in motion, the stubborn pony twists around and leaps atop the surprised human, pinning him down with a long, passionate kiss. Moaning against her lips, Kobe gives into her sweet affection and falls back, smooched into submission. Not willing to let her win, he rubbed up to her ears, giving each a light scratching and earning a pleased sigh from the pony. "Oooooh......n-not fair!" "You all cuddled out?" Forgetful whips her hair back with a devilish grin. "You're in for it, cutie." she chuckled, ferociously continuing their make out session. "I love you so much!" Kobe exclaimed in between smooches. "I love you more!" Forgetful squeed, wrapping her tail around his leg. "I love you most!" "Hold me close, bae!" The two lovers embraced like there was no tomorrow, letting their feelings for each other run buck wild. Sparks flew, love blossomed, snuggles INTENSIFIED. Until finally, it was done. There rested two goofs, cozy in each other's company and as snug as a bug in a rug. After a minute or two of recovering, Forgetful faces her love, resting her head upon his chest. "Hey, boo?" she said. "Yes, lovebug?" Kobe answered. "Cuddled out yet?" "Yup. How about you?" "Yeah. And one more thing?" "Hmm?" "Can you promise me something?" "What's that?" "Promise you'll never forget me." Kobe looked down at the mare as she peacefully drifted off to sleep. "I promise. No doubt about it."
