Spike woke up and stretched, he then realised he was in his bed.
"I don't remember going to bed last night", Spike thought for a minute, "The last thing I remember is...", Spike then gasped as he remembered. "Luna!", Spike ran as fast as his legs would take him to the top of the castle.
"Luna?", Spike said as he reached the top of the castle, but all he saw was Celestia who just finished raising the sun. Celestia looked around.
"Morning, Spike, did you sleep well?", Celestia asked. Spike caught his breath before replying.
"I did, thank you", Spike smiled. Celestia then remembered what Spike said.
"Oh, if you're looking for Luna, she is most likely in her bedroom resting", Celestia smiled which Spike returned.
"Thank you", Spike said before making his way down the hallway of the castle to get to Luna's room. When he reached Luna's bedroom door he knocked and heard Luna say, "Come in!", he walked in to find Luna led on top of her bed resting.
"Oh, Spike, good morning, did you sleep well?", Luna smiled.
"I did, thank you", Spike walked over to Luna, "Look, I'm so sorry about last night, I didn't mean to fall asleep", Luna chuckled.
"It's okay, Spike, you were tired, you're body clock isn't the same as it used to be and I found it very sweet that you tried", Luna gave Spike a warm smile. Spike walked over to where Luna was.
"I'm glad you're not upset", Spike said with a smile and then yawned. Luna chuckled.
"Still tired?", Luna asked. Spike laughed.
"A bit drowsy still, maybe", Luna patted the space next to her indicating for Spike to sit next to her. Spike got up and led next to Luna. "I don't want to fall asleep on you again", Spike said realising how comfortable Luna's bed was.
"Don't worry, Spike, I am also resting, so I may fall asleep too", Luna said reassuring Spike that it was okay.
"Fair enough", Spike replied. There was a short moment of silence before he spoke again. "It was beautiful last night", Spike said remembering the view before he fell asleep.
"Yes, it was stunning, I love the night", Luna agreed.
"Me too", Spike nodded. Luna changed her position so she was facing Spike, and when he noticed he too changed his position to face Luna. They both looked at each other for a moment and started to smile.
"I love the way you're mane sparkles like the stars at night", Spike said noticing the sparkles in Luna's flowing mane. Luna blushed at Spike's compliment.
"Thank you, Spike", Luna said trying to hide the fact that she was blushing. Then the alicorn and the dragon yawned in unison.
"Wow! Perfectly in sync", Spike chuckled after his yawn.
"Yeah", Luna agreed also letting out a laugh. Spike sat up.
"Well, I better let you get some rest, I may reet some more myself", Luna gently stopped with her hoof.
"It's okay, Spike you can rest here if you'd like", Spike smiled and led back down, again, facing Luna.
"Thank you, Luna". They both yawned again at it wasn't long before they both fell asleep.
After about an hour, Spike woke up, and as he went to move he realised something was holding him, he looked down slightly to see Luna's hooves wrapped around him, it was then he realised the warmth of Luna's body against this. Spike started to worry, but then his worry instantly faded as he realised something.
'This feeling, it's the same feeling I got when Rarity used to give me a hug, does that mean I--' Spike stopped that thought straight away. No of course I don't, I'm just happy to see her again, but then Spike had another thought. If that's the case, why don't I want this to stop?', Spike moved slightly to get more comfortable, he then felt Luna move. Oh no, Spike thought, he stayed still and pretended to be asleep, then he felt her hold him tighter. Spike enjoyed the sensation of Luna holding him tighter, without thinking, he held Luna's hooves which were still around him. Luna opened her eyes at the feel of her hooves being held, then she realised that she was snuggled into Spike. Luna tried to slowly let go of Spike, not knowing he was awake, as she let go he turned around.
"I'm sorry, Spike, I was asleep, I didn't mean to--", Spike stopped her.
"It's okay, Luna, I uhh... I kinda liked it", Luna's eyes widened.
"You- you did!?" Luna asked.
"Y-Yeah", Spike replied nervously. Luna smiled.
"Me too, I just freaked out because I didn't know how you would react", Luna said with a sigh of relief. Spike then stretched his arms out indicating he'd like the snuggle to continue, Luna smiled as she put her hooves around him, they both pulled each other closer and smiled. Spike felt a familiar, but lovely sensation through his body.
Am I starting to fall for Luna?, Spike thought.
