Coco watched as Rarity exited Spike's room, something's about it caused sirens to go off in her head. They way Rarity walked with a happy bounce or the fact she was wearing lipstick. Coco couldn't help but feel angry at her. "What was she doing in there?," Coco said to herself. Rarity walked up to her and smiled.
"Hello Coco," Rarity a said pleasantly, Coco smiled a fake smile.
"Hi Rarity," she said trying to keep her tone respectful.
"It's okay that you missed work today that storm was a big surprise, too bad Spikey Wikey got sick," Coco raised an eyebrow.
"Spikey Wikey?," Coco asked.
"Oh that's my nickname for Spike, I gave him that name years ago and it just stuck,"
"I'm sure of it,"
"Well it's late and another day of work is ahead of me so Coco have a good evening," Rarity walked down the staircase.
"Maybe I should check on Spike," she walked down the corridor. Her room and Spike's were right next to each other, "Maybe I could help him through the night it is because of me he's sick," she smiled now she would have a chance to bond with Spike. She knocked on the door and slowly opened it. His room was lightly decorated with posters and he had shelves of his favorite comic books. She smiled as she walked through, his room made her feel younger. She saw him sleeping on his bed. She sat down on the stool next to him. She smiled, he wasn't coughing but you could hear a struggle as he breathed. "I'm so sorry Spike it's my fault your sick," she put her hoof on his chest and felt it go up and down. "It would be me in this bed sick not you Spike," she felt his hand go on top of her hoof.
"It's okay Coco," he coughed, "I took the risk to keep you safe, he put a claw to her face, "I rather be sick than to see you like this," he smiled weakly. Coco felt heat rising to her cheeks. She pecked him on the cheek.
"You're too kind," Coco sat down next to him on the bed. "You're so warm,"
"Coco what are you doing you're going to get sick," he said. She smiled.
"I don't care Spike I should be with you tonight, I did get you sick didn't I?," Coco put her head in his shoulder. Spike blushed.
"You're a great friend Coco," he put his arm around her and closed his eyes. Coco felt a ping of coldness when Spike said "friend" she lay there and smiled to herself she looked at his face and that's where she saw it. She saw a faint imprint of red on his lips and it hit her like a brick wall, he was kissing Rarity. She felt jealousy fill her chest. She kissed him?, but I thought he... she let a tear roll down her cheek. She pulled his arm off of her and got out of his bed. Spike sat up and rubbed his eyes.
"Coco?," he said. She turned towards him and Spike saw her face, she was crying she turned away and ran through the corridor. He stood up and fought against his exhaustion, he ran after her. "Coco stop!," she ran up the staircase which led to Twilights open platform. Coco stopped when she realized she had nowhere to run. "Coco what's wrong?," Spike said as he caught up with her. She sat on her flank and watched as the sun stood on the horizon. She wiped her eyes and looked at him.
"Coco tell me what's bothering you," he put a hand on her shoulder but she flinched at his touch. "Please tell me," she looked away from him.
"As if you don't know," she said quietly. Spike sat down next to her.
"I don't know," he coughed.
"You and Rarity," she said flatly. Spike sat there wondering what she meant then it him.
"Coco there is nothing between me and her," Spike said.
"Then explain her lipstick on your lips," Coco stifled a sob.
"I-we... We did kiss," Spike looked over Ponyville. "Coco she's not the one I love," he put a hand on her cheek.
"Spike you d-don't love her?," Coco stared at him. He shook his head.
"Coco," he put both hands on her face and Stared at her beautiful sky blue eyes. "I-I," he put his arms around her. "I think you're amazing, you're kind, you're a hard worker, you're beautiful," Coco blushed.
"You think I'm beautiful?," Coco asked softly.
"Anypony with eyes can see that," Spike hugged her tighter. "You're amazing,"
"Thank you Spike you're so nice," she kissed his cheek. "Let's get you back to your room,"
"No, Coco let's stay out here tonight," Coco smiled. "Besides it's perfect out," he laid down and Coco did the same. He coughed. "With you here I'm already feeling better, " Spike put his arm around her. "Did you know how much I love doing this?," Spike asked. Coco blushed and they bumped muzzles.
"I love it too," she giggled and closed her eyes. Spike doesn't love Rarity Coco felt warm and happy. She could feel his warm breath as he breathed. Spike closed his eyes as well and let his exhaustion take over him. They both started to drift asleep.
While they were sleeping Twilight walked up to them and smiled. She teleported a blanket to her. She lowered the blanket onto their bodies. She knew Spike and Coco we're meant to be. Twilight backed away and walked back into the castle. Spike and Coco's lips met and they both smiled. Even though they may not know they kissed the happiness over took them. Spike put his arm around Coco's waist.
Princess Celestia and Princess Luna watched as he and Coco slept. "I can't believe it, my son is in love," she held back her tears. Princess Luna smiled.
"How long do you think it will take for them to admit their feelings?," Princess Luna asked.
"I don't know, but I can imagine it'll be very soon," Celestial smiled. "If they marry would it make her Princess Coco Pomell?," Celestia asked. Princess Luna giggled.
"I think I prefer Princess Coco it suits her better," Luna said happily. Celestia looked at the mountain.
"I think it's time for us to head home," Celestia lowered herself and cast a shield around Coco and Spike. "That'll help them get a good night's rest," she flew back up.
"What does that do Tia?," Luna asked.
"It will stop them from being interrupted from their slumber," she yawned. "It's about time for me sleep as well," Celestia and Luna's horn was surrounded in magical aura and in a bright flash they were gone.
