	The morning came in a blurry haze as Vie opened his eye's to see Midnight's scruffy chest in front of him, their hooves intertwined with each others, Midnight pulling the Changeling closer to his neck, Vie burying his muzzle into the crook of his coltfriends neck, "Coltfriend" Vie thought, "I could get used to this." Midnight now opening his eye's slowly, just to shut them quickly as the light from the window invaded his vision, moaning slightly he buried his muzzle in the Changelings mane. "Good morning." Vie said, sounding rather chipper, "Mmhm." Midnight mumbled out, still in a bit of a morning haze, trying to re-open his eye's to get adjusted to the light. "You sound like you had a good sleep." Vie said, now beginning to climb out of bed before Midnight shifted slightly, grabbing Vie and pulling him back in, wrapping his hooves fully around the Changelings body so he couldn't protest to what Midnight was about to do. "Hey, it's already in the afternoon we-" Vie was cut off, gasping at the feeling of Midnight's teeth slightly nipping his ear, an intense red flushed Vie's face. "H-Hey!" Vie tried to speak, but was to flustered as Midnight's teased from the base of his ear to the tip. Trying to escape the teasing, Vie flattened his ear's, which elicited a giggle from Midnight, rolling on top of Vie he targeted his horn, giving it a few licks, making Vie let out a soft moan. At the sound of successfully pleasing and teasing Vie, he rolled back off and on his hooves, giving Vie a quick nuzzle heading towards the door before Vie called out, "H-Hey!" he began, "I-I didn't say you had to stop!" He finished quickly, looking at Midnight who just started to laugh and stuck his tongue out at him before exiting the room.

Vie sighed, "What a tease." he mumbled out, making his way to the bathroom where Midnight was brushing his teeth, "You ready for that lunch I talked to you about?" Midnight asked, words coming out in a slur as he spit the toothpaste out in the sink before rinsing his mouth with cold water. "Yeah, I just need to wash up some." Vie answered, "Come here, you can use my tooth brush to brush your teeth with." Midnight said, holding his toothbrush up to Vie's face, "Oh, I don't have to brush." Vie said, Midnight raising an eyebrow to his answer, "What? It's uhh...Changeling magic." Vie said, with a confirming nod, Midnight just giving him a dead pan expression, "If you say so." Midnight said, putting more toothpaste on the brush, "I do say so-" Vie, once again cut off as Midnight started brushing Vie's left fang, Vie now the one giving Midnight a dead pan expression as Midnight continued with a smile on his muzzle.

Finishing up with his shenanigans in the bathroom, Midnight headed down stairs with both scarfs in tow, and Vie right behind him. Midnight turned around to wrap the yellow scarf around Vie, "Go ahead and wait outside, I'm just gonna go grab my bits from the kitchen." Midnight said, Vie nodded, doing what Midnight said, Midnight's eye's following him all the way out, before Vie opened the door he shifted into the Stallion from before, adorning an hourglass cutie mark with a brown coat. Midnight walked into the kitchen, levitating a bag of bits from the counter before rummaging through the closet looking for his old brown saddle bags that adorned his cutie mark, finding them, he dusted them off and set them on his back before putting his bits inside, he headed out to meet Vie outside.

"It's actually really nice outside." Midnight remarked, looking out in front of him, seeing all the foals play in the snow, the sun was still looming in the sky with no clouds to block it's rays. Vie looked over at Midnight and pushed himself against him, bumping Midnight's flank with his, "Let's get a move on, day isn't getting any earlier." Vie said, Midnight nodded as they began their walk through ponyville, "The cafe is only a few block away from the library." Midnight noted, "You mean the one with the crazy Alicorn?" Vie asked, with a hint of playfulness in his voice, "To be fair, keeping you in my house, let alone dating, is usually considered treason." Midnight said, "Treason shmeason, not like I'm working for Chrysalis anymore..." Vie replied, trailing off, still huddled against Midnight looking straight ahead, "Speaking of which" Midnight began, "crap" Vie thought, "Twilight said something about that last night, you wanna talk about it?" Midnight finished, giving Vie a concern look, Vie sighed and began, "Back when Chrysalis' invasion failed, she couldn't feed most of the hive, so she cut off just about all of them from the swarm, which included me." Vie looked up to meet Midnight's eye's, "but to be honest, it wasn't the worse out come seeing as i'm here now." He added, smiling at Midnight he gave him a peck on the nose, Midnight blushed slightly at the kiss, almost forgetting that they were coming up to the cafe.

"Oh, we're here already, e-heh, about missed it for a second." They turned to look at the quaint cafe, glass panes adorned the front with a sign that said Latte's Cafe. Walking towards it, Midnight opened the front door to the cafe and said to Vie, "after you," letting Vie walk in first before entering himself, the aroma of coffee filling their senses, taking a glance around, the walls were painted a dark brown and there were booths with red leather filling each corner of the Cafe with tables and chairs spread out through the room, looking back to the front bar Midnight walked up and asked a mare with a dark brown mane and a light pearl coat with light brown fur at her hooves for a salted caramel hot mocha and a daisy sandwich, looking sideways at Vie he asked what he was in the mood for, "Uhh, I guess the daisy sandwich and hot chocolate." Vie said, smiling at his decision. Another mare had came out and showed them to a booth with a number card on the table, "Whats the number for?" Vie asked, Midnight holding it in his hoof, "They'll call a number and if it's ours then we go up and get our food." Midnight answered putting the number card back on the table, Vie replyed with an 'Ahh.' 

After waiting a few minutes, the same brown maned mare had called their number, Midnight dismissing himself walked to the front giving her a 'thanks' before walking back to Vie with plates and and cups in tow, setting Vie's hot chocolate and daisy sandwich in front of him, and Midnight setting his down, already digging in, silence took the two as they ate.

Vie swallowed his last bite of the daisy sandwich, sighing in content and slouching, "Taking it that you enjoyed it?" Midnight asked, Vie nodded, "They make some good sandwiches, no wonder you visit here. How was your drink?" Vie asked, "Here, take a sip." Midnight said, levitating his mocha over to Vie who gladly tipped the drink some taking a sip, "Huh, you can actually taste the salt, it's really good." Vie said, Midnight levitating the drink back over drinking down the rest, "You ready?" Midnight questioned, looking over at Vie, who gave a sprightly 'yup' bounding out the door, Midnight left the bits on the table for the mare to come by, Vie held the door this time for Midnight, who nuzzled Vie's cheek, happily accepting it, as they bounded back out into the cold. "So now what? It's already getting dark." Vie inquired, Midnight looking around as if trying to find something to do, "You ever ice skate?" Vie asked, "I know a lake that freezes over every winter, just outside of Ponyville." Vie finished, looking at Midnight, who was rubbing the back of his neck, "I've...I've never skated before..." Midnight said, albeit bashfully, "You really are a recluse, aren't you?" Vie teased, bumping Midnight with his flank, "Follow me, it's really easy, i'll teach ya." Vie said, starting down the snowy path, the cold snow crunching beneath their hooves, the winter wind slightly picking up as they reached the pond, completely frozen over, foals and pony's already playing upon the ice.

Vie grabbed Midnight's forehoof bringing him towards the ice, jumping on it he slung Midnight across who was having trouble keeping his balance, Vie doing circles around him, smiling all the while, "Little help here?" Midnight asked, still struggling, Vie skated up towards him, helping him put his hooves in place, "Now just balance yourself, and slide forward like you're wearing socks." Vie said, still standing in front of Midnight, "Wouldn't it be easier if we actually had skates?" Midnight question, Vie giving off a little shrug, before starting ahead, "Come on, try to catch up to me!" Vie exclaimed, Midnight keeping his balance, sliding forward a bit before getting the hang of it and headed straight towards Vie, "Hey, this isn't so bad." Midnight smiled before realizing he didn't know how to stop, "Uhh, Vie, how do I stop?" Midnight inquired, Vie with no time to answer moved out of the way before Midnight crashed into him, Midnight face planted the fluffy snow in front of him, Vie sliding right up beside him, stomping back onto the snow, "Heh...I probably should of told you that before I let you go." Vie said, helping Midnight out of the snow, Midnight shaking the snow off of him looked over at Vie with a grin, "Yeah, I think that would of been nice to know." Midnight stated, about to speak up again, but a certain mail mare pegasus stopped him before he could.

"Hey Midnight, hey Doctor!" Derpy exclaimed, "Hey Derpy!" Midnight replied, Vie still looking around in confusion as to who the 'Doctor' was, "So...Are you coming over tonight?" Derpy asked bashfully, muzzle pointed to the snow but hopeful eyes looking up at Vie, hoof circling the snow, ear's flattened against her head. Something clicked in Vie's brain, realizing he's disguised as, 'The Doctor,' he finally spoke up, "Oh, uhh... Well, I actually..." His eye's darting back and forth as if looking for an escape, Midnight just gave him a friendly elbow as if to speak up, "It's okay if you can't, I understand." Derpy said, still holding her bashful face, "Oh no! It's just, I'm gonna have to get back to you later about that." Vie said, Derpy's ear's perking up at the answer, "Oh, okay, well, i'll be around the market place if you want to still come over." Derpy said, quickly taking to the sky, Vie sighed when she was out of ear reach, "Well, that was interesting." Midnight added, "You ready to get back home? I imagine you're ready to get out of that disguise." Midnight said, Vie looking up to the sky to see the sun hanging low in the sky, "Yeah, I'd like to get out of the cold, and this disguise." Vie said, beginning to get anxious to get back to his new home, they started off towards the house.

Back inside Midnight's house, Vie shook off his disguise, ruffling his black and aqua mane, he skipped up to Midnight who was on the couch in the middle of a long stretch, hooves sticking up in the air, "Feels good to sit back down again." Midnight claimed, Vie walking up to the couch putting his forehooves on Midnight's flanks, reach up to his height before kissing him, Midnight still staring at the now closed eyed Changeling with surprise, finally relaxing into his embrace, he closed his eye's taking in the feeling of Vie's soft lips against his chapped lips, a warmth spreading throughout his body, Vie pulled back, his lips tingling after the long kiss. They stared into each others eye's for a few minutes before Midnight broke it off, pulling Vie up to him, Vie happily replied by crawling on top of Midnight, now laying on the couch with Vie on top, Vie started to lick up Midnight's horn before enveloping the whole thing in his mouth, eliciting a girlish moan from Midnight, giggling as he pulled out from Midnight's horn, he returned the favor from the morning by slightly nipping on Midnight's ear's, each time he did, Midnight let out a gasp. Seeing Vie's neck open to him, Midnight took the opportunity to pepper him with kisses, Vie sat up some, interrupting Midnight's frenzy, "how about we go back to the bedroom." Vie said, Midnight looking at him with a crimson red invading his face, "No, I don't mean it like that, i'd just like something a bit more comfortable" Vie said, Midnight a bit relieved, and a bit disappointed at the same time, headed up stairs and into the bed with Vie, where they began where they left off, the moon still shinning upon them as they made out on the bed, Midnight teasing Vie's lips with his tongue, Vie opened his mouth letting the tongue invade his mouth, before pulling back and looking at Midnight, "You think we should of found that 'Doctor' and told him about Derpy?" Vie asked, hoping for an answer from Midnight, "Nah, I'm sure she's fine." Midnight replied, Vie nodding at the answer before resting his head in the crook of Midnight's neck, muttering a few words before he let sleep take him, "I think everything is gonna work out just fine from now on."
