Diamonds in the Snow

5) Dinner and Bed [Cuddles ^3^]

Diamond was doing his best in the kitchen. He was making hayburgers, and also trying not to burn everything to the ground. He wasn't the greatest chef in Equestria, but he knew that it would be good. It has to be good, he's making it for his best friend who's depending on him because of injury! He was extra careful, and he even made it a little bit spicy, just the way Party Favor likes. He went into the pantry and grabbed two plates. He put the sizzling hayburgers on those said plates, and walked into the bedroom.

Party took a whiff of the dinner he was about to eat. "This smells amazing." He said as he watched the food get ever so close to him.

"Oh, it's not much, but I tried to make it the best to your liking."

"I already love it."

Diamond blushed slightly. He thought to himself: "Party could be so flattering sometimes."

Diamond took a bite of his dinner and was shocked that he actually cooked something so good. Party was digging in, floating the sandwich up to him with his magic. He devoured it in mere minutes. Diamond watched in awe as he took another bite of his own. It took another two minutes for Diamond to finish.

"I know you say you can't cook," Party started to speak. "But I think you're a liar."

"Thanks, and again, I'm not really that good."

"Well, too bad. I think you just don't wanna admit it."

"I never admit to saying I'm good at anything, and you know that."

"Yeah, you even complain how you're not good enough on your skis, but you are such a fucking liar."

"I mean, I just."

"And you have a great mane too."

"It does that on it's own."

"I'm just saying, you need to take ownership of your achievements."

As the argument continued for a long while, the sound of crickets were starting to be heard.

"Oh my, it's ten o'clock." Diamond said.

"..." Party struggled to speak up.

"I'm gonna head out n-"

"Wait"

"What?"

"Do you wanna stay the night?"

This time, Diamond struggled to speak up.

"Okay." He finally managed to say. "Where am I going to sleep then?"

"Well, I guess the bed's big enough for two." Party scooted over enough for Diamond to enter.

"Oh, I mean, okay."

Diamond awkwardly got into the bed next to Party. He felt himself starting to sweat from nervousness. He closed his eyes and started to drift.

Party still couldn't sleep. He kept tossing and turning, but it was hard due to the broken hoof. He then looked over at Diamond. He stared at his soft, fluffy body. He couldn't keep himself from touching it. He inched closer very slowly. He then made contact. This made the sleeping Diamond turn towards the source of the poke. Without even waking, Diamond grabbed on to Party, and held him close. The sleeper's face turned red. Party returned the favor and used his good hoof to latch onto Diamond. He soon fell asleep in the hooves of the white stallion.
