Chapter 15 – For tonight
The sound of Violet's magic poofs to the closed stone room, leaving a slight echo as the swirls of blue light start to fall to the ground.
Violet stumbles a little to the quick teleportation spell, she never really does spells like that and never that large and it shows as her body is left feeling a little weak.
Now sitting on the edge of the bed is the light orange pegasus, his right wing is flared out a little and his hoof still rubs to his head but he doesn't really look as drained as the young mare.
Violet's eyes trace to her friend as she takes a step over to him and then embraces him in a quick hug, the hoof that goes around Sparky's right wing sends a little shot of pain through him as he clutches his teeth, "Sssshhhaahh..."
She quickly pulls herself back as she rubs her right hoof over her chest and gives a little bow of the head.
"Thank me? Pff, you saved my flank...All I did was stand there." Sparky just gives a little laugh as he shakes his head, "I couldn't even stop shaking when I was just standing there..."
Violet's left ear and left hoof go through a quick motion as she jabs them a little to the stallion's chest.
Sparky just blinks to them as he speaks up in his less than hero sounding voice, "How am I dumb? It's true."
The light purple mare whose coat still has a little dirt on it doesn't bring her hooves back up as she rubs her hoof to the pegasus's extended wing.
Again Sparky clenches his teeth as he mindlessly expels his voice, "Ahhhow..."
Violet taps her hoof to her mouth as she points to the door, Sparky nods to her comment as he tries to quiet his breathing down Violet's horn starts to glow. With in a moment the stallion's wing has taken on her blue glow as it's cooling magic starts to come over Sparky...although the tingling feeling over his sensitive wings brings out another response, it still holds it's own slightly pained tone but it sounds more like a moan as Sparky moves both of his front hooves to cover his lap from where he sits.
The light purple mare doesn't notice his motions though as she just focuses her magic to his wings, she doesn't really know any healing spell but the cooling feel around his wing starts to allow Sparky to put it back to rest on his back.
"T-thanks...At least I don't have a flying test any time soon." A faint smile comes over Sparky as he tries to lighten Violet's determined stare.
Violet's hold over her friend's wing stops as she nods her head and then quickly darts towards the bathroom.
To the absent mare in the room Sparky again brings his hoof up to his head as he feels the welt that's starting to form, although his checking of himself comes to an end as Violet comes back to the room floating two wet towels.
She stops her trot as the one on her right comes more into her face, her blue magic comes over it as if flashes to the room turning it into a makeshift ice pack as she floats it towards Sparky.
Again the stallion can only say thanks as he takes the cold towel into his hoof and then to his head.
Violet runs the other towel over her coat as she turns her eyes to the spots of dirt that she cleans off.
"Um...You should just go and take a bath, I have to get going anyways." Sparky stands from the bed on three hooves as he turns his gaze to the door.
But the words spark a response from Violet as she bolts the wet and now slightly dirty towel to him trying to get his attention, her mission is achieved as Sparky turns to her hooves motions a little confused.
"Well ya I guess they would be a little ticked at me...But I can't stay here for the next two weeks, I only have today off." Sparky only pauses his trot towards the door for a moment as Violet again brings her hooves up, this time with a little more authority that the young mare thinks she has.
Sparky shakes his head which sends a slight jolt of pain through it, but he continues his words almost unfazed, "...You could get in trouble for having me in here?"
Violet gives a silent blow to the comment as she shakes her head, the rules right now don't even matter to her as she looks over her friend and as her hooves comes to an end she takes a step towards the bed as she floats her still damp towel towards the open bathroom door.
The dull orange pegasus just watches as he looks over the mare, "W-where would I sleep the floor?"
Violet drops her magical hold she put over the pillow for a moment as she chases that idea out of her head, and instead nods to the bed.
Her nod brings Sparky's eyes a little wider as he stutters, "Y-you want me to sleep with you...Like in the same bed?"
Violet squints to his tone as she just gives a little nod.
"What if somepony opens the door?"
The light purple mare pauses for a moment as she taps her hoof to her mouth, but she starts her trot up again as she brings herself over towards him and then sparks her hooves up with a smile.
Sparky now blinks to her confident words as he takes his right hoof from his head and tosses the iced towel to the bed, what do you mean "You would just push me off the bed?"
Violet nods her head as her horn sparks up to the still slightly neatly made bed as she pulls it back and then walks around Sparky.
But the stallion doesn't move to the other side of the bed as he just watches the tired mare take her first hoof to it.
Instead a light laugh comes over him as he moves again towards the door, "W-what if your dad finds out tha-..." His voice is cut off as Violet's magic wraps to his snout cutting his mouth's movements off.
Violet now gives a sigh as she nods to the large space next to where she sits in the bed.
Her magical hold ends to his snout as it instead turns to the towel that now floats from the bottom of the bed and towards the open bathroom.
But as her eyes come back to her still stationary friend she crosses her front hooves as she gives him an annoyed stare.
To the tired mare's stare Sparky swallows hard as he starts to trot towards the other side of the bed. The young stallion's heart pounds a little as he looks over the light purple mare's blue eyed gaze that now stares to him, but without another moment of hesitation Sparky slowly starts to ease himself into the comfortable bed.
As the pegasus turns himself away from her sight Violet brings her eyes over the wings that now face her, it turns out the large spot beside her doesn't really hold wings all too well as she ends up having to turn to her side to get the feathers from her face.
Sparky is silent as he just stares to the window and tries to hold his spot to the bed.
Violet's horn sparks up as the lights to the room turn off leaving only the brightest white moon's glow over the room.
To the new low room's light Violet like Sparky just holds her eyes open, this is the first time they have ever done something like this...And the slight bit of awkwardness starts to keep the young mare from the sleep her body needs. In an attempt at easing her mind's slight racing she brings her front hooves from the bed's covers as she looks over the two wings that are sprawled out in front of where she lays.
Her hoof comes to rub to the right wing as she checks to see if the magic's cooling effects still hold over. But as her hoof rubs to it it twitches as it flares a bit more up, and surprisingly instead of feeling the cool magic to her touch her hoof now just feels the hot blooded circulating wing's warmth.
Sparky's eyes go a little wide to the mare's touch as he just stares to the window he faces on his side, the sensitive wings bring an unwanted feeling to the young stallion's body as he just listens to his heart pounding now in his wings and his chest.
Violet on the other hoof has no idea of the pegasus's mind as she just thinks it's flared out because it's hurting again, and now her horn sparks up as her magic wraps to the wing in an attempt to quell it's raising.
The sensation causes Sparky to close his eyes as he just feels the cool magic of her spell teasing at his wing. But as it's hold doesn't end a faint whimpering moan comes from the stallion as he quickly turns his wings away from Violet as he tries to scoot himself even further from the mare's body.
Their eyes now lock in the moonlit room as the stallion's slightly flustered face expresses his words, "I-I didn't want you to roll on my wing you know..." A laugh comes over him as he swallows hard, just hoping the mare doesn't take his sudden change in position a little weird...And also hoping that his friend doesn't lift the covers that have now been placed between them.
But Violet nods as she just stares to her friend’s close face, although it becomes abundantly apparent from his tone that he's not really feeling too well and Violet brings her hooves up in a question as she looks to her friend.
"N-no, i'm fine Viowit--wViolet." The nervous stallion's face turns a little more blushed as they both just continue to stare to each other.
Violet nods to his words, but is still unable to bring herself to close her eyes as a few strange minutes start to roll by in the deathly quiet room as the two young ponies are left just staring to their friend that now sleeps only two or so hoofs away.
Now Violet's own opinions of the stallion start to make her a little uneasy, and with a hooves out good night the young mare turns her body away from her friend’s as she now stares toward the door.
"...Goodnight." Sparky's voice holds it's own low as he now just stares to the mare's mane that has taken the place of where her soft blue slightly sparkling eyes once laid.
Violet's heart that started to race a little now slowly starts to calm down as she is able to close her eyes and begins to drift into a much needed sleep.
