//------------------------------// // Goodnight, sweet princess // Story: Less is more // by SilverTongueOfCanterlot //------------------------------// As I unlocked the front door I suddenly for the first time wished my parents weren't out that night, if only so I could show off a little. I mean this was happening, this was really happening, I was bringing a pretty girl home for dinner. Almost like a date, I was so excited I almost lost my cool more then once, I'd even chuckled on the way here but saved myself by telling. Trixie I'd just remembered a really stupid joke my cousin once told me. "Well here we are." I said with a smile. "Home sweet home." I gestured to the hallway which opened up into a large living room at one side, a light grey carpet under white painted walls giving it a warm clean futuristic look, especially with the couch made to seat three with a fourth person reclined on the other end, it was one of those L shaped sofas, the kind best friends slept on during sleepovers, or the kind you cuddle up on with your girlfriend when watching a movie. A lamp sat on table behind said sofa, a footrest infront and a flat screen mounted on the wall, this wasn't uncommon in some homes given the times but still the look of wonder on Trixie's face.. It was so cute. I let out a soft chuckle which. Trixie noticed and put her hands on her hips flashing me a look like a scolding mother. "What?" She asked. "I'm sorry." I said still chuckling. "It's just, you looked so cute there for a second." Trixie's annoyed stern look was replaced by an embarrassed, wide eyed blush. "Here why don't you sit down? I'll get you a drink." I said with a smile and Trixie nodded sitting on the sofa. "Alright so what's your poison? We have coke, orange squash, black current or water. Oh or we have tea or hot chocolate in the jars behind me almost forgot about that." I rambled trying way too hard to be funny in some way. "Hmm a hot chocolate sounds nice about now. " Trixie said smiling hugging one of her knees. "Then the sweetest of hot chocolates it shall be my lady, with only the softest of marshmallows afloat amidst the foamy banks of your mug." This time I had succeeded in getting a giggle out of her,though i kind of yet like a goof. "So, you live here by yourself?" Trixie asked looking around the living room. "No." I called from the kitchen as I took a carter of milk from the fridge and began to boil a fresh pot of water for the hot chocolate. "My parents are out tonight, odds are they won't be back till late so, we have the place to ourselves for the night." I began to pour the hot water into the mug of coco powdered, pouring some milk in not the same time and paying close attention so the mug didn't overflow. As I stirred I took a bag of miniature marshmallows from the cupboard above my head and placed them next to me. "So uh." I called from the kitchen. "You comfy? Need anything else while I'm up?" "No thanks." She replied politely. "To be honest I'm kind of jealous, this place is amazing. Though would it be ok if I had a shower after dinner?" "Ofcourse." I said cheerily. "What's mine is yours, oh by the way hope you like chicken." "Uh actually.. I'm a vegetarian." She called out hesitantly, I paused for a moment. "Oh, we'll that's fine." I said chuckling. "How about a salad instead?" Trixie smiled. "Sounds great." I walked in with a glass of Orange squash and her hot chocolate, handing the mug to her carefully. "Thanks." She said gratefully accepting the mug. "You didn't make yourself one?" She asked before taking a sip. I chuckled. "Nope, call me weird but, never really was fond of hot drinks." "You're weird." Trixie said grinning mischievously. "Very funny." I said sharing her grin and both of us giving a small chuckle. "Alright well I'm gonna go get dinner started, I'll be back in a minute alright?" Trixie smiled and nodded giving a rather cute 'mhm.' I returned a few minutes later with a salad and a sandwich filled with refrigerated sandwich slices of chicken, I wasn't feeling all that hungry so I'd decided not to cook anything incase I finished. The two of us ate our small light meals on the sofa watching a Lee Evans DVD my dad had gotten me for Christmas last year, Trixie didn't get some of the jokes but once I explained them she understood and found most of them funny. "Thanks, that was really good." Trixie said as I took her plate and stood up to take them into the kitchen. "Not a problem." I said happy she'd enjoyed it "alright so the bathroom's the third door on the right for when you want to take your shower, if you leave your clothes out I'll put them into the machine for you and I can loan you some pyjamas." Trixie giggled a bit. "Thanks." She said standing up and heading towards the stairs. I chuckled back. "Better then sleeping in your clothes and feeling unclean again tomorrow." "True." She said smiling. "Thanks again for this, really... I appreciate it." I paused for a moment, then after a deep breath sensing the sincerity in her voice. "Don 't mention it." I said and started to wash the dishes. Trixie smiled and headed upstairs, I heard the sound of the shower turning on, followed by a startled cry. "AAAH!" I facepalmed. 'Stupid!' I mentally scolded myself. "O-oh yeah, sorry I forgot." I called up to her. "You need to give the shower a minute to warm up sorry about that." With a sigh Trixie shook her head and smiled. A minute or two later I walked upstairs to find a small pile of clothes by the bathroom door. Trixie's clothes. With a mild blush I began to pick them up to carry them down to the washing machine, my blush intensified as I came across a soft white pair of cotton panties hidden within her folded up skirt, they had a similar symbol to her skirt printed on the part that would normally cover her rump, that wand certainly put a spell on me as my face reddened and my heart rate sped up. They were so soft and delicate... Soft... Delicate... Why did those words make me think of more then just Trixie's underwear, images of her body pressed against mine raced through my mind as we snuggled up under the covers of my bed, she brought her face closer to mine, smiling with her eyes half closed in a content loving gaze and puckering her lips as we drew closer and closer until... 'Woah woah woah! Get hold of yourself!' I thought, shaking my head. I stood up, carrying the clothes downstairs. 'Ok so there 's a pretty girl in my shower, a pretty girl in my shower... Man I sound like a pervert in my head.' I thought as the words repeated in my head. I wiped some sweat form my brow and placed. Trixie's clothes in the machine, setting it to wash and loading the powder before turning it on and splashing some cold water over my face from the kitchen sink. As the machine finished I set Trixie's clothes out on the radiator in my bedroom, just incase my parents came home and got the wrong idea when they saw an unfamiliar girls clothes in the house. Going through my drawers unfortunately I was wearing my last pair of pyjamas at that moment, a set of iron man print pyjama bottoms and a spiderman T-shirt. "Uh oh." I said looking nervous. "Sigh it's ok, it's fine." I tried to convince myself with little success. "Guess we'll have to... Improvise." Hesitantly I grabbed a pair of green cotton boxers with a navy blue trim and a white plain T-shirt that would probably be a size or two too big for her when I compared it to Trixie's jacket on the radiator I placed them neatly on my bed then went over to the bathroom door and knocked as I heard the shower stop. "Uh.. Trixie?" "Yeah?" She replied stepping out of the shower to dry herself off. "Um all my other PJ's are in the laundry and I'm wearing my last pair so uh, I've had to improvise... I hope that's alright." I said expecting her to object or be suspicious. To my surprise Trixie giggled. "It's fine really, trust me I've had to improvise a couple times in my wagon." I breathed a sigh of relief. Then shook my head feeling like an idiot for worrying, still though she was really surprising me, being so cool with this. "Ok we'll, great." I said not even trying to hide how relieved I was. "Ok well, I'll just be downstairs, your uh.. Substitute Jammies are in my room across the hall with your clothes ok?" "Alright thanks, I'll be down in a minute." I smiled for a minute then headed downstairs as I heard the bathroom door creak open, risk sting with every bone in my body to turn around and peak at. Trixie dressed in nothing by a bath towel, however this didn't stop my mind form making the attempt and as the mental image filled my mind I blushed eyes like saucers as I opened them wider then I even thought humanly possible. I sat on the sofa an empty glass in my hand as I had gulped down my juice in the first two minutes, the other three occupied by thoughts of Trixie either in her towel or the underwear and shirt I'd put out for her and honestly she looked pretty hot. "Thinking about me cutie?" A voice teased from behind me I stood up and turned around and instantly froze eyes locked on the girl standing infront of me. "Hmhmhm so how do I look?" Trixie asked hands on her hips as she gave a twirl. I was speechless. I could only just make out the trim of the legs of the green boxers peaking out of the bottom of the shirt, I was right it was two sizes too big looking more like a slightly baggy dress then a T-shirt. It hugged her body nicely, snugly as I eyed her up and down I couldn't help but pause momentarily taking possibly a little too long to examine her chest and hips. Trixie giggled noticing my slack jawed stare blushing a little bit. "Wow guess I look better then I thought." I blushed rubbing the back of my neck as I smile nervously. "Uh y-yeah.. You look, g-great." I said looking away for a moment. Then as I returned my gaze to Trixie I notice she'd stepped closer to me, smiling and... And her eyes... They were exactly like in my head. "Uh T-Trixie? A-are you feeling ok?" I asked nervously. In my head I thought 'are you blind dude?! Come on a pretty girl is wearing your clohtes! In your house! This is romance movie brand flirting she's comming onto you!' At this my face turned red and Trixie giggled again wrapping her arms around me. 'Ok.' I thought my eyes wide as I hugged Trixie back. "There's a pretty girl, a girl I've liked for a while now, in my house, wearing my clothes and hugging me.' 'Well thank you captain obvious.' My subconscious said sarcastically. "Hey um... Are you ok?" She asked grinning an eyebrow raised in a sort of mischieviously, teasing expression. "Uh y-yeah." I said clearing my throat, her being close to me wasn't helping the tension making it hard for me to talk to her. Infact that coupled with what she was wearing actually amplified it. "Uh h-how about I show you to the spare room?" Trixie giggled again. "Sure, I'm getting kinda tired anyway and it's getting late." 'It was?' I thought then turned to the clock on the wall blinking a few times, I hadn't checked the time since we'd met up infront of the statue. Apparently we'd taken longer then I'd thought to walk back to my house. My attention then turned back to Trixie as she gave a yawn,marching her back and stretching. "Yeeeaaahhhhh, mhhhh." I couldn't help but stare a bit taking a mental photograph of her as she scrunched her face up in the cutest way as she stretched. A smile spread onto my face as I rubbed the ring Trixie had given me still on my finger. "Alright sleepy head, rigt this way." I held out my arm again and Trixie wrapped her ps around it, closing her eyes and letting me lead her over to the stairs as she almost fell asleep standing up propped up against me. As I looked at the stars and then Trixie I decided probably not the best idea to let her walk up them herself so, stopping at the foot of the steps, I placed a hand under her thigh, picking her up and carrying she up the stairs bridal style. Trixie didn't seem phased, infact other then a slight blush she didn't change much at all as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I chuckled thinking she looked so cute like this, I continued to carry her to the guest room next door to mine gently setting her down in the bed and tucking her in. My smile didn't falter as I watched her, already fast asleep smiling as she hugged her pillow and stroking her soft silver hair away from her face I leaned in giving her. A gentle kiss on the cheek. "Goodnight Trixie." I said softly and turned to leave the room, as i closed e door, being careful not to wake her and crept into my room, tucking myself into bed and gently falling to sleep, the mental image of Trixie stretching with her face all scrunched up like it was earlier and her back arched fresh in my mind, aswell as the image of her peacefully sound asleep in bed. As my eyelids began to feel heavy I slowly removed the ring Trixie had given me giving it one finale look before placing it on my bed issue table and closing my eyes.
