Twilight stood in the hallway of Canterlot Castle, wondering. Wondering how she’d react when she told her. She wanted to tell Celestia how she really felt about her. She loved her, and she wanted her mentor to know that. The only thing is, she doesn’t think anything will happen, because of the age difference. It’s more than a thousand years difference. But, maybe it’d be ok, she’s still an adult, and so is Celestia. Maybe the difference isn’t that bad as long as they are adults.
She stroke her own mane in pure shyness, and went on. She was sweating, and it felt as if her heart was beating faster than the speed of sound. Every step she took sounded like bombs to her ears. As she took the last step towards the door, her heart stopped beating for a second. She used her magic to pull down the door’s handle. As it opened, it made a loud sound, like when a very old door opens. Celestia looked behind her.
“Oh, hi, Princess Twilight? What are doing here?”
Twilight wanted to say something, but couldn’t, she simply couldn’t, it felt as if time had stopped for but a moment, when she finally decided to say something.
“I… I wanted to talk to you about something…” Twilight started blushing intensely, and the sweating got worse.
“What did you want to take about, Princess?” Celestia went closer to Twilight, and put a hoof on her shoulder.
“I- I’m starting to… develope a… cr-cru…” Twilight couldn’t finish the sentence, she was too afraid of what Celestia would say, or just think, for that matter.
“A cru?....” Celestia said, askingly, trying to get the last part of the sentence out.
“I’m starting to develope a crush… on…. y-” Twilight was cut off before she could finish.
“Oh….” Celestia started blushing, but couldn’t face Twilight. She’d been feeling the same way, but had refused to make anything of it, because of the age difference.
“Twilight, I…. don’t think it will work out between us, I mean, I’m 2500 years old, and you’re 25. I just don’t think it will work.” Celestia felt her heart stop, when the words came out of her mouth.
“I know, I’ve been thinking the same over and over, but I refused to let that stand in my way. But, I guess you can’t do that.” Twilight looked to the floor, slipping a tear as she was about to turn around.
“Twilight, wait. I just can’t do it, there’s a 2475 year difference. It’s just so much.” Celestia took a hold of Twilight, and pulled her in for a hug.
“Yes, but, I figured it’d be different, because you’re born as an Alicorn, and the ages work different that way. You still look like you’re in your thirties, and I’m in my twenties, so it would work, wouldn’t it?”
Twilight wanted desperately to make it ok for them to be together, but it seemed like a lost cause in her mind. Twilight pulled away from Celestia, and stared at her with puppy eyes.
“Of course it’s different like that, but after deciding to live like a normal pony in Equestria, my mind has become used to the rules of pony kind.” Celestia’s eyes started to water, and vice versa.
“I know it might seem weird, but if we really love each other, wouldn’t it be ok? And instead of going with the rules of Equestria, go with the rules you’re used to. Please, Celestia! I’m immortal now, as well, so that won’t be a problem.” Celestia smiled at Twilight, but still had to wipe away a tear in her eye.
“That is correct. I guess we can try it out, but if any of us start to feel weird, we give it up, deal?” Celestia took a step closer to Twilight.
“Great!” Twilight exclaimed.
Celestia bowed down to Twilight, and kissed her on the lips, and Twilight kissed her back, turning it into more of a deep kiss rather than just a normal one. They went on for right about 20 seconds before they both pulled away.
“Please tell me you didn’t find that weird.” Twilight said, blushing.
“I… didn’t….” Celestia said, but she hesitated. Twilight, however, didn’t notice the hesitation, she was too caught up in the moment, and sprung in for a hug at her mentor.
“I LOVE YOU!!!” Twilight yelled into her mentor’s coat.
Celestia wanted to tell Twilight that she found it a bit weird, but didn’t, because maybe it was just the beginning of it. She hugged Twilight back, but slipped a tear doing so. She thought to herself that it was gonna be ok, but it might take some time. So, the tears went away.
Celestia nuzzled Twilight’s mane, and kissed her forehead, and her student started blushing, and she could feel a stream of warmth going towards her head. Twilight felt comfortable now, she felt confident. She looked up from her mentor’s coat and looked directly into her eyes, she kissed her on the lips once more. They stood there, kissing for a bit of time, when Celestia broke it off and spoke.
“But, Twilight. We have to keep it a secret for now, we don’t want to cause a ballad just yet, which we surely will.” Celestia said, giggling.
Twilight simply blushed further and nodded.
…
A few days had passed, and Twilight had been staying at the castle, she’d been sleeping beside Celestia in the royal chamber. Every morning, when Twilight woke up, she found herself cuddling with her mentor and she felt so good about it. Sure, she had hugged her before, but never as a sign of actual love.
Once again, she woke up in the arms of her mentor, and noticed her mentor still sleeping, so, she kissed her mentor on the cheek and rose up. As she rose, she looked behind her, noticing Celestia blushing, whilst putting a hoof to her cheek. She put her hoof under her bedsheets again, and Twilight went out.
In the chamber, Celestia lay alone, opening her eyes. She was simply pretending to be asleep. She didn’t find the relationship weird anymore, but she did, however worry about what their sex would be like. Kissing, and sleeping in the same bed was one thing, but sex. She had a hard time imagining it, but she’d just have to leave that to the future, and take it as it comes along.
