She gasped at first, but soon melted. Of course she melted.
I kissed her harder, and yet softer. She was more beautiful than the sunrise. I wanted to tell her that. I wanted to tell somepony that. The world was big and strange, and yet so empty. Her warm shivers filled it for a blissful moment.
I stroked her cheeks, then leaned in to nuzzle her. I felt that something was going to come out of the next breath, something that would anchor me there, anchor me to her. I wouldn't have to fly anymore. I wouldn't have to run away. I could just rest. Rest, love, and die.
But then she opened her eyes... her damnably beautiful ocean blue eyes.
And all my insides instantly turned to dust. Just like them.
“R-Rainbow...?” Gold Petals stammered.
Darn it. Not here. Not now. I might explode.
“I'm... I'm sorry...”
She was already starting to sob. “Wh-why?”
I... I can't stay here...” The world spun. I spun. Everything was dizzy, but it wasn't the curse. I couldn't have been that lucky to blame it on that. “I c-can't stay anywhere.”
And it was true, just as her whimpering breath was true, just as every horrible thing I'd ever done was true.
I flew away.
I flew away, because I was a monster, and there'll never again be a chance to have nice, awesome things.
Never.
