Spike's eyes were widened as Twilight was kissing him.
"Holy guacamole! Twilight is kissing me! Should I pull away, or should I keep going? Aw man, it's hard to think when her lips taste like bubblegum!" He thought as Twilight slowly pulled away, leaving his mouth agape.
"You okay?" She asked after a pause.
"...what?" He asked breaking his silence.
"Are you okay?"
"Oh...no. I think I'm insane."
"For what?" She asked confused, then she got a claw placed on her cheek.
"This." He spoke thusly before leaning his head forward to plant another kiss on Twilight's lips. Her wings opened up in response.
"Oh my gosh! He's kissing me back! Don't just sit there, do something!" She thought frantically as she shakily wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Wait, what's happening here?" He asked after pulling away.
"I believe we're about to engage in a make out session...and that's weird isn't it?" She asked nervously.
"Totally weird." He agreed. Nevertheless, they both closed their eyes and resumed. After about a minute, Twilight started to take over by gently pinning Spike on his back, lips still in contact. Spike was feeling at peace, although he was also feeling an uncomfortable tightness behind his zipper.
"Oh no! Not now!" He thought frantically as he rolled over to position himself on top of Twilight. "Um Twilight? Maybe we should stop?" He asked pulling away.
"Why? I think you're doing just fine." She said trying to pull him back down.
"No! I mean...It's kinda...late! Yeah, and we should probably get home, right?" He asked hoping she would agree.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." She said rejectedly. Spike sighed with relief as he helped her up. Luckily it didn't take long to pack up.
"Trust me, this place could get dangerous at night." He joked as they headed back into town, not seeing the figure that had just kicked another into the lake.
Twilight walked in the library with a rather long yawn. Spike noticed this, so he set down his basket and picked her up, much like a groom would a bride
"Spike, what are you doing?" She asked shocked.
"Well, clearly you're too tired to walk up all those stairs." He said as he closed the door with his foot.
"I'm perfectly capable of walking myself y'know." She said managing to work a yawn in her sentence.
"That excuse won't work. Especially when I tried using it all these years." He said recalling when Twilight would carry him.
"May I point out that I had to get a new backpack because of you?" She asked with an eyebrow raised. Spike rolled his eyes as they entered their bedroom.
"Alright how about this?" He asked before plopping Twilight on the bed.
"Y'know, you're lucky you're my assistant or I'd blast you with my horn." She said sticking her tongue out.
"I know. Hey you seen my pajamas anywhere?" He asked.
"Uh, yeah they're under the bed."
"Huh, that's weird. I thought I put them in the closet before I left." He said causing Twilight's eyes to widen, but give a shrug from her shoulders. "Oh well. Be right back Twi." He said exiting the room. He could've sworn that he heard Twilight let out a sigh on the way out. Five minutes later he came back to see Twilight was already wearing her reading glasses while being curled up in a book. He soon got under the covers with her, causing a surprised look.
"Wow, no complaints tonight?" She jokingly asked.
"Actually, this quality time has really grown on me." He said warmly. Twilight giggled before returning to her book. "Hey so, was that real?" He asked.
"Was what real?" She asked still reading.
"Y'know...our kiss?" He specified, causing Twilight to nearly rip her page.
"Oh...well...I almost don't wanna say." She said hesitantly.
"It's okay. I won't get mad or anything." He said putting a claw on her shoulder. Twilight took in a deep breath.
"Yes. It was real." She said looking down.
"...oh." Spike said dumbfoundedly.
"Was it good?" Twilight asked breaking her silence.
"What?"
"Was the kiss good?" She repeated.
"Twilight. It was...the best kiss ever." He said with a soft smile.
"Really?" She asked semi excited.
"Yeah. I mean, nopony's ever made me feel that special. Plus your lips tasted like bubblegum." He said recieving a blush from the mare. "So, does this mean that you...like me or something?" Twilight took a pause before looking down.
"You hate me now, don't you?" She asked before a claw gently raised her head.
"I could never hate you, but why didn't you tell me?" He asked sternly.
"Well, I didn't wanna believe it myself. Yesterday when Applejack came over, she came up with the idea that the reason I was sleep clopping was...me having a crush on you." She explained, leaving Spike at a loss for words. "So...it's okay if you don't like me back." Spike, regaining his ability to speak said,
"To be honest, I don't really know what I feel. Four days ago I was just a baby dragon, now here I am, not even sure of my feelings for my own friend" He said with his head down. Twilight, not wanting to push the subject any further said,
"Tell you what, why don't we get a good night sleep, and we'll talk about it tomorrow?" She suggested.
"Sure, I'd like that." He saidd warmly. With that, Twilight took off her glasses and turned off her bedside lamp. As soon as she laid her head on her pillow, Spike was left awake, feeling somewhat lonely on his side of the bed. So he slowly wrapped his claws around Twilight's stomach, pulling him closer behind. Twilight's eyes opened in surprise, but she soon closed them and accepted his embrace.
-NEXT MORNING-
Spike's eyes opened as he came into view with a cute sight. Twilight had somehow managed to roll over and face him. Her adorable smile made it all the more harder for him to make his next move.
"Twilight? Wake up sleepy head."
He said in a sing songy voice, causing her to groan lightly.
"Aw come on Spikey, five more minutes." She said pulling the blanket over her head. Spike chuckled softly at this.
"Want me to make breakfast?" He asked softly.
"Mm-hmm." She replied muffled.
"Alright, I'll go run down to the market to get more eggs." He said as he got out of bed. He went to his part of the closet and picked out a dark purple T-shirt and black sweatpants. After changing, he tiptoed out of the library, being careful not to wake Twilight back up.
-MARKET PLACE-
Spike browsed around the many booths that the market place had to offer. There were only about twenty ponies there, so he easily spotted Rainbow dash and Fluttershy nearby.
"Hey guys!" He greeted. Fluttershy turned around and was quickly relieved.
"Oh, it's you Spike. I forgot your voice was so deep. What brings you around here?" She asked softly.
"Just picking up some more eggs. In fact, there goes some now." He said as he walked over to the booth that was selling cartons of them. As soon as he gave the colt who was running the stand his bits, Rainbow dash walked up to him.
"So Spike, I should probably say 'congrats' on your latest achievement.' She said nudging his shoulder.
"Latest achievement?" He asked confused.
"Sure, you and Twilight are dating now, right?" She asked.
"Why would you think that?" He asked blushing.
"Well, you two did make out last night."
"Wait, you saw us?!" He asked shocked.
"Spike, my house is like, right above the lake." She said with a smirk.
"Yeah well...I don't care. I kissed Twilight, so what?"
"So what? This is the funniest thing ever!" She laughed before getting elbowed in the side by Fluttershy.
"Now Dashie, I think it's nice that Spike and Twilight are dating." She said proudly.
"Thanks Fluttershy, but we're not actually dating. I'll think about the answer I'll give her when I get back." He explained.
"I can't believe I got elbowed twice in one week. C'mon Fluttershy let's get outta here." Rainbow dash said glumly.
"Y'know, there's a million answers you could give, but you only have one Twilight." Fluttershy said before leaving to catch up with Rainbow dash. Spike pondered her words for a moment and thought,
"She's right...I love her!" Just then, Zecora walked up in front of him.
"Spike, there you are. I have good news from afar." She rhymed.
"What good news Zecora?" He asked.
"I have successfully found a remedy that will turn you back into a little kiddie."
"Wait, are you saying that you can turn me back into a baby dragon?" He asked.
"Indeed I am, come by my hut later, if you can." With that, she walked toward the exit of the market.
"I can't believe it! I can go back to normal! Oh man, I can't wait to tell the girls, especially Twili...oh. Right." He realized.
-TWILIGHT'S BEDROOM-
Twilight finally started to fully awaken, thanks to the smell of grass pancakes and eggs emanating from downstairs. The smell practically carried her into the kitchen, but it was really just her wings.
"Well well well, princess Twilight cometh." Spike joked impressed. Twilight rolled her eyes and set herself down at the table. "Hey, so I ran into Zecora down at the market place." He said, still facing the stove.
"Oh yeah? How was she?" Twilight asked.
"She was good. In fact, she said that she could turn me back into a baby dragon." He said causing Twilight to jolt up in shock.
"O-oh yeah?" She asked trying to smile.
"Yep. She said I can come over when I can, So I'll go this evening." He said as he set their plates on the table.
"That's great news." She said with a sigh. Spike noticed.
"Look Twilight, these past few days have been fun, but we both knew I had to go back to being a kid eventually. Now come on, let's eat up, got some reshelving to do right?" He asked before taking a bite of his eggs.
"Yeah." Twilight said rejectedly.
-LATE AFTERNOON-
After a whole day of reshelving, Twilight literally jumped into bed tiredly. Spike then came in, wearing a black and white hoodie with black jeans.
"Alright Twilight, I'm gonna head over to Zecora's now." He announced.
"Do you want me to come with you?" She asked lifting her head.
"That's okay Twilight, you should turn in early." He said pulling his covers over her. "I'll be back in about twenty minutes, okay?" Twilight nodded her head. "Alright, goodnight Twilight." With that, he closed the bedroom door on the way out, not hearing the 'I love you' that came from Twilight.
