My Feelings Have Shifted

Chapter 19 - I Love You

Spike and Luna were both resting on the bed, Spike slightly jumped when he felt something hit his face.

"Huh? What?", Spike said sitting up, he looked around before looking down to see a rolled-up letter, which had now fallen to his lap.

"Everything alright, Spikey?", Luna asked sitting up.

"Yeah, sorry, this letter hit my face and made me jump", Luna smiled at Spike and Spike smiled and they gave each other a quick kiss. Spike took off the ribbon and unrolled the paper.

"Who's it from?", Luna asked curiously. There was a slight pause before Spike answered.

"It's from... Rarity", Spike was surprised. Luna noticed.

"Are you okay, Spike?", Luna asked.

"Yeah, I just expect a letter from her", Luna smiled and was glad to know Spike was okay.

"What did she say?", Luna said shuffling closer to Spike. Spike scanned the letter.

"She said she hopes I'm having a great time, she really missed me on Saturday, and that we... need to talk", Spike looked confused.

"Need to talk?", Luna was also confused.

"That's what it says, but I don't know what we need to talk about", Spike brushed it off, put the letter down and looked at Luna.

"What?", Luna asked noticing Spike looking at her.

"How can somepony look so good after just waking up?", Luna smiled at Spike's compliment, but then her smile dropped slightly.

"What's wrong, Luna?", Spike asked worryingly after noticing the princess' smile drop.

"I just remembered you have to go back tomorrow", Spike wasn't happy about the idea either.

"Can't you come with me?" Spike asked.

"Spike, you know that's not possible", they both looked down, but then Spike looked back up.

"I'm sure if I tell Twilight about us she'll---", Luna stopped Spike.

"I don't think you should tell Twilight or anypony just yet", Spike looked confused.

"Why?"

"Well, because of recent events, I don't want anypony thinking of our relationship as a rebound", Luna stated. Spike thought about what Luna said and agreed.

"That makes sense, but our relationship is pure and true", Spike smiled, and Luna returned the smile.

"I know that, and you know that, but other ponies may not see that way", Luna said still smiling.

"I understand, let's just enjoy what time we have left together", both Spike and Luna led back down and snuggled with each other.


----------A Few Hours Later----------


Luna opened her eyes.

Wow! I have never slept so much, but my perfect little dragon makes me feel so comfortable, Luna thought as she caressed Spike's head which slowly woke him.

"That's nice", Spike cooed. Luna kept caressing Spike's head until a thought popped into her head.

"Spikey, I know you're comfy, and I am too, but I think it's nearly time to raise the moon", Luna said as she stopped caressing Spike.

"Okay", Spike stretched, sat up and rubbed his eyes, Luna sat up to join him.

"Spike, I must say I have never slept so much, but you melt all my worries away, and I feel so relaxed", Luna and Spike smiled, then made their way upstairs, so Luna could raise the moon.

"It gets more beautiful everytime you do it", Spike said, Luna smiled

"You're so sweet, Spikey", Luna got closer to Spike and kissed him.

"Luna..."

"Yes, Spike", Spike seemed nervous, but he was sure about what he was going to say.

"I love you", Luna put her hoof to her mouth and started tearing up.

"Really?", Luna asked while trying to hold back her tears.

"Yes, I do, I love you", Spike said making his feelings clear.

"I love you too", Luna picked up Spike in her hooves, spun him around and gave him a massive kiss.

"You have made me the happiest dragon in all of Equestria", Spike said looking at Luna with pure love.

"And you have made me the happiest princess", Spike and Luna sat close to one another, admiring the beautiful night and each other.
