Midnight woke up to the sunlight invading his eye's, shifting slightly to get out of the rays path he remembered the Changeling cuddled against him, it's muzzle resting on his chest, he reached down and nuzzled the top of the Changelings head. "This is crazy...For all I know it could just be using me for food." Midnight frowned at the thought, and just then the Changeling huddled it's self closer, but at that moment 'something' poked his stomach, looking down noticing what that 'something' was, Midnight tumbled out of bed, landing on the cold, unforgiving floor, hooves sticking in the air with a furious blush across his face, he regained his posture and sat up, the Changeling now up and staring at him, Midnight looked up at the Changeling, meeting his eye's. "welp...At least we know you're a stallion now." Midnight said sheepishly.
The Changeling looked down, the blanket still covering it's mid-waist, a blush now covering his own muzzle he looked back up to meet Midnight's eye's, the room now in an awkward silence.
"S-so, do you have a name? Can you talk?" Midnight broke the silence, the Changeling opened his mouth and closed it as if in thought, he frowned and shook his head. "Well..." Midnight thought for a moment, thinking of a name that would fit the Changeling. "How about Vie?" Midnight asked, at which the Changeling looked at him, and spoke in a hushed tone.
"What does it mean?"
Midnight looked at him with wide eyes. "You do speak!" He blurted out, noticing his sudden burst of expression he coughed in his hoof and looked down sheepishly. "I-I mean, so you talk, yeah, uhh...Oh, and it means life or live in french." Midnight stuttered out.
"I like it." Vie replied, still in a hushed tone. Looking back up at Vie, Midnight smiled.
"Well, now that we have that out of the way, would you like breakfast?" Midnight asked. Vie nodded slowly and started off the bed, at which he about collapsed, struggling to stand back up, Midnight walked to his side and helped him up. "Lean on me." He spoke softly, Vie replied by putting his forehoof around Midnight's back for balance, being a bit smaller than Midnight he rested his head on his neck. Midnight could feel his cheeks warm back up, and Vie could feel the love emanate from him, hungrily accepting it and gaining a lot more strength, they walked out of the room and down the stairs towards the kitchen. Midnight walked Vie over to the table. Letting go, Vie pulled out a chair and sat down, as Midnight made his way over to the fridge. Vie taking a look around the house he took in everything, a small round table at which he sat at in the kitchen, the rest was very open, not many walls had disconnected the rest of the house, he seen the back door and turned to his left over towards the living room with a single couch.
"What do Changelings eat?" Midnight asked, breaking Vie out of his reverie, turning his head back towards Midnight, he responded.
"we can eat anything that ponies can, it's just not as filling."
Nodding, Midnight grabbed some milk and cereal out of the fridge, pouring two bowls for each other. Levitating the bowls over he set it down in front of Vie and took his seat from across the table. Silence once again filled the room, except the crunches, Vie poked at the flaky cereal with his spoon. Midnight looked up and noticed Vie staring at his bowl and broke the silence."So, I've been curious as to why you haven't tried taking over me or running away." Vie looked up from his bowl and gave him an annoying glare. "Not all of us are monsters you know..." Midnight's ears flattened. "Sorry." He replied with an apologetic voice. Vie picked up his spoon with his magic and decided to take a bite. "You know, it's actually not that bad." Vie remarked. The minutes flew by and Midnight grabbed his bowl putting it in the sink, turning around he saw Vie taking his bowl to him, at which he grabbed and washed it out, laying it in the sink.
"Hey, I wanna show you around town, I have a place just outside of ponyville I like to go to. You can still disguise yourself right?" Midnight asked, looking a bit hopeful
"Yeah." Vie answered simply, as a demonstration, he shape shifted into a brown stallion with a hourglass cutie mark.
Midnight grabbed an extra scarf from the closet and the other one from last that was still laying on the couch. Wrapping the yellow one around Vie, he put on his own. "ready?" He asked, Vie nodded his head and they opened the door to step out into the cold.
All the while Princess Twilight was watching them with binoculars from a brush . "Oh! Oh! What are they doing now!?" Pinkie shouted, right beside her poking her head out from the brush, Twilight put her hoof over Pinkie's head and pushed her back down in the brush. "Pinkie, you have to be quiet if you want to help me. This is very important to me as the new pri-"
"Oh look, they're moving!" pinkie interrupted Twilight's sentence. Twilight quickly picking up her binoculars, she watched as the two headed down the road and towards the park. "Alright Pinkie, I need you to stay behind me, we're going to follow them." Twilight said, with a grin puffing her chest out a bit. "Okie dokie lokie!" hopping behind Twilight as she started creeping behind them, dodging from house to house and bush to brush they made it up to a more secluded area away from the park.

Back to Midnight and Vie, they were walking closely together. "We're almost there now, sense there really isn't anypony here, you can drop the disguise." Midnight said glancing at Vie. "Thank chrysalis, truth is, I hate being in a disguise, it's just not me." Vie said, now dropping the disguise as a green glow radiated down from him, now back to his regular form he huddled back towards Midnight. "Are you still tired?" Midnight asked. "Nope! You're just really warm." Vie replied, a toothy grin on his face looking up at Midnight, Midnight blushed at it, but gave off a small laugh, nuzzling the top of his head. "Whats this feeling in my chest? Is this love? This random pony, I haven't even known for a day and he's already rubbing off on me." Vie was thinking, but was interrupted by Midnight's voice. "Were here." they both took a look around, Celestia's sun making it's way through the sky. Resting upon a hill, the sun shone on, painting the sky with hues of red and orange.
"Wow, this is beautiful." Vie said, gawking at the sky. They sat down next to each other, the grass tickling their hooves. Vie leaned back on Midnight.
"You're a clingy one arn't you?" Midnight teased, smirking at Vie.
"Well, I mean, you did save me." Vie retorted
"It's okay, I'm not complaining, it's actually sorta nice..." Midnight trailed off, smiling at the Changeling. The sun started making it's way further down the sky, signaling night would come soon.
"It's about to get dark, we should head back soon." Midnight commented, Vie nodded, still resting his head on Midnight's shoulder, letting his eyelids droop down, he absorbed some of the love radiating from Midnight. Breaking the silence, Vie commented. "You know, for you being a pony and me a Changeling, you sure are trusting."
"I never really worried about much, I just try to stay calm. Anyways, you didn't seem like much of a threat when I found you." Midnight teasing once again with a smile on his face.
Vie looked up at Midnight. "Oh really?" Grinning, Vie pounced on Midnight, rolling around for a moment Vie came out on top, smiling down at Midnight he pulled Midnight's scarf off and went in for Midnight's neck. "Nom!" slightly biting him before he got up, looking at Midnight's face flushed with a crimson red. "What about me not being a threat?" Vie returning the tease, smirking at a stunned Midnight, before turning around and heading back the way they came, snapping out of his daze he called out. "Hey, wait for me!" Picking up his scarf from the grass, he galloped out to reach Vie, as they made their way back home.
Twilight and Pinkie still observing from a bush, they were baffled at the sight. "Okay, so from what I'm getting here, the stallion, Midnight, isn't under the Changeling, Vie's, control?" Twilight questioned with a quizzical voice, looking back over at Pinkie who looked liked she was fawning over the two.
"Pinkie?!"
"What?! They're soooo~ cute!" Pinkie whined.
"It's a Changeling Pinkie! They're an enemy to Equestria!" Twilight said, emphasizing her point with a hoof in the air.
"Well, maybe this Changeling is good! Discord used to be a big meany before Fluttershy helped him and now look! This could be the same thing!" Pinkie said, hoping outside of the brush.
"I highly doubt it." Twilight replied, stepping out from the bush, still skeptical of the whole idea of a Pony and Changeling dating. Bleh even odder that they were both Stallions, she never had anything against same-sex marriage, but it was very rare for two stallions let alone with a Changeling, to be together.
"Well, maybe you should go confront them!" Pinkie said.
"You know what? I think I actually will! I'll get to the bottom of this." Smiling she turned back towards pinkie who was already gone, looking around she gave no pony in particular a dead pan face before taking to the sky, back towards ponyville.
