Cuddling is the best remedy.

Today is the best day ever! Today you get out of the hospital. Finally after two weeks of waiting in a bed with Rainbow Dash, not that you are complaining, you finally get to go home and rest in your own bed! Thanks to the healing magic your broken leg has recovered more quickly than the doctors have ever expected. Maybe as a human you are more susceptible to magic, you are not really sure.

Right now you are signing out. You can hardly wait to get out of here.

“Alright you are all set! Have a good day.” Nurse Redheart says.

“I will, you do the same.” You respond giving the good nurse a smile.

You turn and walk out the door and finally feel the summer wind in your hair. As you look around you see several humans and ponies chatting with each other. It is amazing to be outside after being inside for so long. You feel an impact on your back, stumbling forward a bit, as two cyan hooves wrap around your neck. It’s your mare once again. She gives your head a loving nuzzle.
You reach your right hand back and ruffle her mane and she giggles before landing beside you.

“I thought you were going to need crutches or something.” She says with a hint of curiosity.

“Well apparently the magic they used wound up fusing the bone back together more quickly than they thought.” You say in response.

“So what are you going to do now?” Rainbow Dash asks.

“Well I was going to go home, sit back, relax, and maybe take a nap … Do you want to join me?”

Rainbow nods her head enthusiastically and grabs a hold of you and speeds towards your house. Geeze if you did not know any better you would say she is more eager than you to sleep in your bed more than you are.

As you approach your home you realize that your leg is running like it was never broken. Magic is as mysterious as it is wonderful. Finally you come to a stop on the front porch of your house. You give Dash a smile and unlock your door and walk in.

Entering your living room, you stop and take a look at the several pictures of you and Dash on the walls. Several are from your time as friends, like the picture in front of the crystal empire you are looking at. But next to that picture is when you first admitted your feelings as you two kiss on the sofa. You are not even sure how the picture happened. You think it has something to do with a certain pink pony though.

“HEY ARE YOU COMING TO NAP OR WHAT!?” Dash shouts from the bedroom.

You chuckle and shout back “HOLD ON MY LOVE, I WILL BE THERE IN A SECOND!” She groans and you can’t help but laugh. A few seconds later you enter your room and step out of your work pants and slip into some shorts before joining your mare.

“Could you hold me?” She asks.

You get a huge grin and wrap your arms around her. You lean in kiss her lips, the soft fur tickling your lips as she returns the kiss with a fiery passion. A few moments of bliss later you break the kiss and whisper to her “You don’t even have to ask.”
She leans her head against yours and slides a hind leg between your legs trying to get as close as she possibly can to you. She drapes a wing over you and presses her chest to yours. You smile and tighten your grip around her, letting her feel even more secure in your arms.

She moans softly and gives you a kiss, her way of saying thank you.

“Better?” you ask her.

“Better.”

You both lay there in silence. Focusing on the beating of her heart and breathing. Diving deeper into the serenity of the moment, Rainbow looks so peaceful… so beautiful… You sigh and wonder how such a wonderful mare came into your life. All you know is that she loves you, that you are the one she wanted to wake up and be the first thing to see beside her is your face. She is so very affectionate when she is with you. You and her are both romantics when in the privacy of your home. You both prefer to speak through actions than words. Words just do not have the same effect as actions or gestures.

You smile when she whispers your name and tries to nuzzle herself closer to you. Her head finds itself resting beneath your chin. A feeling of warmth flows through your heart and intensifies the more you focus on her breathing.

Rainbow rolls onto her other side, her back pressing against your chest. You smile and move in to kiss her behind her ear. As your lips come into contact with the soft fur of her ear, her hoof grabs a hold of your left hand and moves it up to her chest coming to rest over her heart. Feeling every loving beat under your palm.

You spend the rest of the time awake just focusing the beat of her heart. Letting it pull you into the land of dreams. The more you focus on it the more heavy your eye lids become, add in the fact you are at home and are resting in your comfortable bed, you drift on to a slumber resting beside the mare of your dreams. As you two continue to snooze you continue to hold her tight, never moving your left hand away from her beating heart. It keeps you from waking up and fills your dreams with Rainbows beautiful face. Her eyes shining and her gorgeous smile showing the happiness she feels, and honestly her happiness is all that matters to you. Rainbow Dash has certainly improved your life for the better. All you can feel is the beating of her loving heart as you sleep.
