Naruto woke to find Luna sleeping right next to him. He jumped backwards falling off the bed. The crash woke Luna up from her sleep. She looked around and then looked over the side of the bed and saw that Naruto was on the ground. “Naruto are you alright?” Luna asked in a soft and loving like tone flying down to his side.
“Yeah I’m okay Luna.” Naruto looked away from her because his heart was beating heavily for some reason. “How about we go into town today?” Naruto asked a little nervous because he has never really wanted to ask her anything like this.
“Aren’t you worried that Shadow may come after me?” Luna asked feeling like Naruto wasn’t taking her into consideration.
“Well if I remember what Carnac said Shadow won’t try anything for at least a month right?” Naruto asked smiling at her. She blushed at him with puckered lips because she felt duped. “I would never put you in harm’s way.” Naruto walked over to her and put his front left hoof upon her shoulder. Luna looked at it and then looked into his eyes they were like blue diamonds to her. Naruto looked into Luna’s eyes and they were like beautiful sapphires. “No matter what happens Luna I won’t let anything hurt you not even me. If I hurt you I will disappear forever okay.”
“NO!” Luna screamed tackling Naruto to the ground. “Please don’t ever say that! I don’t ever want you to leave my side Naruto. Never leave from my side I want you to be with me forever!” Luna didn’t know what she was saying but all she cared about was making Naruto take back what he said about leaving. She didn’t want the stallion she loved to leave her forever.
“Luna,” Naruto looked into the closed tearing eyes of Luna and felt the pain she was feeling. He didn’t realize how much Luna cared about him. He cared about her so much that he was willing to risk his life for her. “Alright Luna.” Luna opened her tearing eyes at that and looked back into his smile. He drew her close into a deep hug. “I won’t leave I will stay by your side. I promise that I will never hurt you. I couldn’t because I care too much about you. You’re my closest friend.”
Luna wished that he had said something a little different but she was happy to know that he wasn’t going to leave her now. They let each other go and headed out of the house. Naruto’s hoof suddenly hit a piece of paper and picked it up with his hoof. It read, “Naruto, Luna please come see me at my house there are two ponies who wish to speak with you.” Naruto looked and saw that Twilight was the one who had written this.
“Well it must be important if she sent a letter to us so early in the morning Naruto. I say we go pay her a visit and see what’s up.” Luna said nudging Naruto. He felt his heart race a little and nodded his head shyly. “Are you sure you’re okay Naruto you’re acting kind of weird.”
“Oh I’m fine Luna don’t worry about me.” Luna got closer to Naruto and his face began to get red cheeks and his heart was throbbing like mad. “Luna,” He said darting past her and out of the house, “Twilight’s waiting for us we shouldn’t make her wait.”
Naruto didn’t want to be alone with Luna right now. Being near her so close as they were made him feel uneasy, then he suddenly remembered that they had kissed yesterday. Although it was an accident it was technically his first kiss and Luna’s. He had stolen her lips from every other pony in Equestria and she had stolen his. He couldn’t believe what he was thinking and was trying to get these thoughts out of his head when Luna came up beside him.
“Naruto I’m serious you’re not acting like you usually would.” Luna was really beginning to worry about him. She wondered if his demonic powers had anything to do with his behavior. “Naruto does this have anything to do with your powers?”
“Uh, yeah!” He said finding that to be the only way he could get himself out of this. “I just feel like I might hurt you if my demon powers take over again. I promised that I would never leave but I don’t want to hurt you either.”
“Naruto you shouldn’t worry about those kind of things.” Luna said rubbing her head against his in a loving manner. “I won’t leave your side and you’ll have me with you if it happens. I promise no matter how much you change I won’t ever be afraid of you. I will never back away from you Naruto I will only go toward you never back.”
“Luna,” Naruto looked at her with wide eyes as she made small circles in the ground with her hooves, “I also promised that no matter how much you change I will never fear you, even if you become Nightmare Moon again. I will always stay by your side and keep you safe. I care about you Luna.” Luna looked up into his eyes at that point. She wanted nothing more than to steal a kiss from him but she needed to wait a little longer for him to truly fall for her. She knew that he hadn’t and was slightly upset. However she couldn’t help but feel as though Naruto was hiding something from her and she didn’t like that.
They quickly got to Twilight’s house where the door was slightly open. “Luna stay behind me.” Naruto said jumping to the front ready in case something tried to come out at them. When they walked in Naruto saw a pink alicorn, slightly larger than Pinky Pie in size, with this crown on her head. Beside her was a white unicorn that looked just as tall as her. Twilight stood in front of them as the white unicorn stared Naruto down. 
“I’m going to guess you’re the one they call Naruto?” The unicorn jumped out in front of Twilight and the pink alicorn as though he were some guardian. “Step away from Princess Luna right now!”
“Or what?” Naruto asked not budging from his spot in front of Luna. “I won’t let you hurt Luna if that’s what you’re planning.” Suddenly Naruto’s demonic seal replaced his red swirl cutie mark as his orange coat also turned blonde like his hair. “I won’t let you lay a hoof on her you jerk.”
“Ha, I won’t let you hurt her or my sister and the people of Equestria anymore. I will not in the name of Princess Cadence!” The unicorn darted at Naruto with his horn glowing. Naruto jumped into the air dodging the attack. He landed right in front of the pink alicorn and the unicorn quickly sent a beam of light his way. Naruto got up and shielded the alicorn from the attack. He took the full brunt of it as he used his small amount of power to then send it at a wall.
“I won’t be hurting anyone I have protected Luna and Twilight from Shadow ever since I got here!” Naruto shouted turning to face the unicorn who had a shocked face. The unicorn thought he would have moved out of the way but it looked as though he was protecting the pink alicorn which he was. “I am not your enemy but if you really want to get me away from Luna’s side you’ll have to kill me!”
“Shining stop this now!” Luna screamed after hearing Naruto’s words. “He is my closest friend here in Ponyville.”
“Yeah Shining, Naruto isn’t evil if that’s what you’re thinking.” Twilight said knowing why Luna had said that. She didn’t want the risk of Naruto possibly dying just to be with her. “Naruto has saved us and my friends many times in the couple months he’s been here.”
“Twilight are you sure according to the report we got of him he practically demolished the festival yesterday.” The alicorn seemed to be siding with the white unicorn, but she wasn’t wrong technically. Naruto did demolish some of the festival, at least wherever an ape was present.
“Well yes but that’s only because they tried to hurt us and take Luna. They knocked him out and I guess Naruto was still able to hear because the second that Luna cried out he went berserk with power and what that report said happened.” Twilight said defending her friend.
“Well if you say so sis I’ll keep my eye on him though.” Shining said as he turned to look at Naruto. “Sorry about all the fuss there. My name’s Shining Armor, I’m Twilight’s older brother.”
“I didn’t know she had a brother. Well I’m Naruto and who’s the pink alicorn she your girlfriend or something?” Naruto asked not realizing that he had just embarrassed the two of them.”
“We’re not a couple,” The pink alicorn said blushing a little as she threw Naruto across the room with her magic. “Shining people know that you don’t have any real feelings for me. There are many better girls for you to pick from anyway.”
“Um Cadence I think you need to calm down I thought you liked me, guess I was wrong about that.” Shining said as he let his guard down. Naruto’s body became wrapped in flames as his anger rose from being humiliated in front of Luna like he had been. He stormed out of the hole that he was in and headed right for Cadence. Shining Armor saw this and immediately took the full force of the attack barely able to block it in time. Naruto landed on his feet while Shining was thrown to the ground. Cadence ran to his side and saw the anger within Naruto’s eyes and felt like she was about to receive the same thing if not worse.
“Naruto wait a moment!” Luna shouted jumping in front of him. “Just calm down a second and let’s talk about this okay. Cadence is just a little embarrassed that you called them a couple is all. She didn’t mean to throw you across the room. Please calm down for me if not them.”
Naruto’s flames went down and all his anger faded as the look from Luna’s eyes gave him a slight horror. He saw fear in her eyes. “I’m sorry Luna, and to you too Cadence. I don’t know what came over me.”
Luna brushed her cheek up against Naruto’s and he stiffened as her warm cheek connected with his. “Naruto it’s alright I’m not scared at all.” Naruto looked out with wide eyes. “You said that you wouldn’t leave my side but now after what I saw at the festival I know that I can’t leave you.”
“Luna you can do whatever you want I’m not going to stop you.” Naruto said allowing Luna to rub up against his cheek again. “I’m not going to go crazy or anything. There’s no reason to worry.”
“I know that but,” Luna remembered how ruthless Naruto looked when he had defeated the apes. “I just don’t want to see you like that ever again Naruto.”
“Luna,” Naruto couldn’t believe that she was crying. Cadence and Shining both looked over their way and saw how upset Luna was. Naruto hated to see Luna cry, even though she hasn’t done it around him much. “Please don’t cry.”
“I…I can’t stand the thought of losing you. You’re the greatest friend I have.” Luna looked away from Naruto and stared out through one of Twilight’s windows.
“I’m not going anywhere Luna we talked about this.” Naruto tried to comfort her because he didn’t want her to cry anymore. Seeing her smile and happy was definitely better. He put his hoof around her and hugged her which immediately sent a warm feeling through Naruto. He got a reply as Luna returned the hug to him, tears still coming out of her eyes.
“I never thought Luna would fall in love Shining.” Cadence said as she watched the display of emotion from the two. Cadence looked over to Shining and felt a warmth that was very common to her. She always felt this warm feeling around Shining. She liked him intensely but was too afraid to say it. She feared that the only reason Shining may like her is that she is a princess. So every time someone said they looked like a couple she denied it.
“How are you guys getting along?” Twilight came out of nowhere, well from the top of the stairs really. She noticed that Luna and Naruto were hugging each other still as they looked up at her. Naruto quickly jumped off feeling really embarrassed. He had completely forgotten that there were other ponies in the room and that this wasn’t his house. Why was it so important to him to make her happy?
“Ooookay, well I bet you’re all wondering why I brought you here today.” Twilight said getting a nod from every pony here. “Well I thought that maybe you all should meet each other. Naruto has already met Princess Celestia and as you probably guessed Luna. I thought he should meet everyone because he is my friend and you guys were coming to visit. I thought it was a good idea what do you guys think?”
“I think you were right Twilight.” Cadence said walking over to Luna and Naruto. Naruto looked utterly confused by her. Just seconds ago she threw him against a wall and now she was being all friendly. What the heck is going on? 
“I agree with Cadence as well. We definitely enjoyed meeting them.” Okay did Naruto hit them that hard? He sent both of them into a swell of fear just showing his powers alone. This is getting really weird. Naruto began wondering what got into these two in the past five seconds.
“I wouldn’t agree with that personally but I guess you could say it was enjoyable.” Naruto said backing away from Shining and Cadence. He didn’t want their weird rubbing off on him. He looked to Luna who had this sad look about her and Naruto wondered why she would be sad right now. Then he realized that she wanted him to be friends with the new ponies here. “Sorry about that guys. I meant that meeting them was an interesting experience. They were definitely a lot of fun in the few minutes we were alone.”
“Naruto!” Luna shouted causing him to flinch a little. Naruto was getting to Luna’s bad side, anyone who knows Luna knows that isn’t a good idea. “Sorry Twilight, I know them already but the first impressions weren’t exactly perfect. I think that they could have handled themselves much more like a princess and one of the royal guard.”
“Luna you know my brother has a tendency to act that way. They were also told about the incident at the festival. They know what Naruto did to those apes.” Twilight looked over to Naruto and saw that his head hung down from his neck as he then turned around. 
“Naruto…” Luna tried to go and comfort him but he shrugged her off. “Naruto?”
“Sorry Luna. If you guys don’t mind I’ll be outside waiting to go home.” Naruto left with his head down thinking about how he went completely ballistic against those apes that had hurt Luna the way they did. 
“Twilight you didn’t need to say that!” Luna now got angry as she just watched the stallion she loved walk out on her looking heartbroken. “He has had a rough enough morning already. You didn’t need to make it worse!”
“I’m sorry Luna.” Twilight said getting defensive, “I thought he would want to know that they knew about it too. I didn’t think he would respond like that.” 
“Naruto can barely stand himself right now. He’s been acting really weird and doesn’t need anyone telling him that he’s a monster.” Luna said looking away from the three in front of her.
“Do you think he’s a monster Luna?” Cadence asked feeling like this needed to be said. Outside the house Naruto heard this and put his ear to the door. Did Luna really think he was a monster and lied to him just to make him happy? 
Luna looked up at Cadence and her horn glowed with a dark blue. Cadence was immediately thrown across the room into a bookshelf. Everyone was surprised by what Luna had done. Naruto heard the bang and went to a window to see that Luna had her magic flowing through her horn. “How dare you accuse me of thinking that!?” Luna was epically pissed off now. “I have not once thought of Naruto as anything but the most amazing stallion in Equestria. He would never hurt me or any of his friends! I care for Naruto to no end and every day that feeling gets stronger and stronger. I want to be by his side when he’s like that because to me he was in pain. I don’t ever want him to be in pain if there’s something I can do to stop it.”
Naruto couldn’t believe what his ears had picked up. It sounded like Luna was in love with him, which she was but due to the dense head that Naruto has he wouldn’t pick it up if it hit him in the face. Luna cared about him that much? He couldn’t believe that she could care so much about him for what she had seen. Naruto grabbed his head in frustration. “WHY!?” Naruto shouted getting the attention of everypony in the vicinity of Twilight’s house. 
Luna came bursting through the door with Twilight, Shining and Cadence right behind her. Naruto looked over to them to see the worry all over Luna’s face. “I’m alright, just thought too much that’s all.” Luna worried face turned into one of irritation as her cheeks blew up as well as glowed with a bright red. “Luna wait I’m sorry!”
Luna wrapped her hooves around him and Naruto opened his eyes to find her crying again. “Don’t scare me like that Naruto.” Luna said holding him tighter. Naruto couldn’t believe that he got out of that one unscathed. He put his front hooves around Luna and returned the hug.
“Sorry about that Luna. I didn’t mean to worry you again.” Naruto said allowing her tears to fall onto him. Naruto felt lucky to have someone like Luna around him. He hoped that nothing would take her from him. Then he thought, what the heck am I thinking? Naruto couldn’t believe he was saying such a thing in his head. He cared about Luna but he didn’t like her that much, did he?
“Naruto can I talk with you for a bit?” Shining asked him as the hug between Naruto and Luna ended. Naruto nodded his head and followed Shining back into the house. Luna was right next to him but Shining stood in her path immediately causing her to remain outside. “I want to talk with him alone if that’s okay Luna?”
“Alright but don’t even think of trying anything funny you hear me?!” Luna didn’t want to leave Naruto’s side but for some reason she had to in order to get back to it. 
“I won’t do anything you wouldn’t do promise Luna.” Shining shut the door behind him and locked the door. Naruto didn’t like the look of this at all. Shining walked past him and up the stairs. “Hey are you coming? I need to talk to you about something private and don’t need the girls hearing it.”
Naruto nodded to him thinking that if it was this private than it had to be important. They got into the upstairs library and Shining shut the door. “So I bet you’re wondering why I brought you here huh?” Naruto nodded his head for the third time obviously getting annoyed by this. “Well I want some advice if you can give it.” 
“Hey I’ll do what I can to help but why can’t the girls hear about it anyways?” Naruto asked feeling like this was a little strange.
“Well I don’t want Cadence to hear this, but I’m okay with you hearing it.” Shining went to the window to his left and looked out of it. “The thing is I’m in love with her. I’m madly in love with her, but I’m too afraid to tell her and every time someone says anything about us being a couple she denies it like she doesn’t want anything to do with me. Do you have any idea how much that hurts me?”
“Actually believe it or not I do.” Shining turned around to look at Naruto. “I think I know what you mean anyway.”
“Naruto do you like Luna?” Naruto looked at Shining now as his head became filled with images of nothing but Luna. “Do you really like her because from what I’ve seen she cares about you so dearly and would do anything to be at your side? Would you do the same for her?”
Little did the two of the stallions know but the two they didn’t want to listen were listening. Using their magic, to increase the volume of the house to their ears so that, they could hear everything. Luna was listening very closely because this could be what she’s been looking for this whole time. 
Naruto looked away from Shining with a confused and angry look. This should have been a simple answer and he couldn’t even think straight right now. “I don’t really know Shining.” Luna stopped listening and fell to the ground tears coming from her eyes. Cadence came down to her.
“Hey don’t let it get to you Lu- Wait a moment he’s saying something else now.” Luna looked up at where she believed Naruto to be and used her magic again to listen in.
“But, I can’t deny how much she makes me happy. Just now when I saw her cry I felt so horrible inside I wanted to do anything to make her happy.” Naruto felt that he could say what he really felt without possibly hurting Luna now. “I want to make her the happiest alicorn alive. But I’m afraid of hurting her and that keeps me from being closer to her. I don’t know why I want her by me every waking second but whenever I’m with her it’s like the stars during the night. She’s the most beautiful mare that I have ever seen. She has a beauty greater than that of her sister Celestia. I…I don’t know why I think this but I do.”
Naruto suddenly felt the sting of tears as they started to slowly come down his cheeks. “It hurts me you know, when I see someone hurting her. I feel like I lied to her and I lose it. That’s what happened at the festival, the mare that I promised to protect with my life almost died! I couldn’t protect her well enough and she was almost killed because of my mistake!”
“Naruto that’s not true!” Shining said seeing the pain this put on Naruto, “According to the report Twilight gave us she wasn’t anywhere near dying, so you kept your promise to her and kept here from dying.”
“Thanks for trying to help Shining but I know what I did.” Naruto turned away putting his back to Shining. “I almost hurt her Shining, me! I almost hurt the most important mare in my life. The mare that’s been with me since day one, the one who makes the most amazing breakfast in the world every morning, the mare who gave me my first kiss. Even if it was an accident I don’t care because it was still my first kiss. She doesn’t care who I am and I don’t care what she is or was. She could turn into Nightmare Moon right now and I would still hold her in my arms. I would never turn against her no matter what. I’d die before I hurt that mare! She means too much to me and I curse myself for having these damn powers because they almost killed her!”
“I keep asking myself what would have happened if I hadn’t heard Luna then. I know the answer to that stupid question and the answer is that I would have killed her! I’m nothing more than a monster!” Naruto shouted loud enough for the whole of Ponyville to hear. “I know that’s how she thinks of me. She doesn’t want to admit it but that’s what she thinks I know that. I kind of like that fact though. It tells me that Luna really cares about me. Even though that at a moment’s notice I could end up killing her if my powers go rabid like that again.”
“Naruto you…that’s not true!” Naruto looked up and so did Shining and they realized they neglected to close one of the windows and this one led to a balcony. Luna stood on the balcony with tears in her eyes. “I would never think of you as a monster Naruto!” 
Naruto’s eyes widened when he heard this. “Naruto I could never think of you as a monster. I don’t care how much your powers change you, you’ll always be my closest friend! You’ll always be in my dreams where we’re together and have a filly of our own! I’ll never hate you Naruto, you could never make me hate you.”
“How can you say that when I almost killed you?” Naruto asked looking away from her. “I’m nothing but a monster and you know it Luna please don’t lie to me.”
Luna walked over to Naruto and slapped his face. Naruto’s eyes were wide and the three others that were now in the room couldn’t believe what Luna had just done. Naruto looked at Luna but wasn’t able to say a thing because his lips were busy with Luna’s. Luna held him in her hooves as she pulled closer intensifying the kiss that she gave him. His heart pounded harder than ever. They had just kissed yesterday but that was an accident, this one was no accident. Luna pulled away keeping her hooves around his neck.
“I could never hate you Naruto because since the first day we met I’ve been in love with you.” Naruto looked into her eyes as a cloud came over the house. Suddenly a great wind came and took the roof off the house. When they looked up they saw Discord with Fluttershy flying together hand in hoof. They waved sorry but drew each other closer together. Naruto and Luna both saw it. Suddenly as if some jerk wanted to make this even more romantic, the rain started to come down.
“Luna you’ve loved me this whole time?” Naruto asked as Luna’s face was half covered by her hair. 
“Yes I have.” Luna said with her cheeks burning red with passion, “I’ve wanted to tell you the first day I realized it but I was worried and thought that you would think of me as a freak and—” Luna was cut short by Naruto’s lips. Naruto had finally done what she had been dreaming of. As the water hit their faces and coats dampening them even more. Naruto didn’t let her go and she wasn’t going to let him as their kiss became more than a kiss of thank you, but a kiss of passionate love. Naruto was the first to pull away from the kiss. Luna didn’t want him to but she knew it would be asking for too much.
“Thanks Luna. That was for telling me the truth and for staying with me despite what I have done to you.” Naruto smiled at her as she looked even more amazing in the rain. He brushed aside her hair. “I don’t what I feel but I know what felt right and that did. And so does this.”
Naruto locked lips with her again and Luna welcomed them with great acceptance. She has waited for this for months. To her this could be the only time this happens and she wanted it to last an eternity. Naruto now realized what that dream was telling him a while ago. He wouldn’t let Luna leave his side unless she was taken from him. He didn’t know what he felt truly he didn’t know but he knew that what he was doing with her felt right. 
Shining and Cadence watched the passion being given from the colt and mare in the corner. Cadence never thought that Luna would find someone that she could love in her lifetime. But there right in front of her she was being kissed by the colt who she has loved since the first day he appeared in her life. Maybe this could happen for her. She looked over to Shining who was still entranced by the kiss that was still going on.
Luna and Naruto pulled away from each other. “Luna I don’t want you to be afraid of me ever can you make that promise to me?” Naruto whispered so that only she could hear. 
“Naruto if what happened at the festival happens again I’ll be right there for you. I love you and I’m not afraid to say it anymore. You’re mine and no one else can have you. I won’t let anypony not even my sister take you away from me.” Luna said placing her nose on his as they connected their foreheads. “If someone were to take you from me I don’t know what I would—.”
Naruto put his hoof on her mouth stopping her from speaking, “Luna no one in this world could take me away from you. I promised you that I would stand by your side until I died and I will keep that promise if that will keep you happy.”
“It would.” She said holding him tighter as her face fell onto his chest and he began stroking her rain soaked hair. “It would make me the happiest mare in Equestria if you did that for me.”
“I would do anything for you Luna, I would even die if it meant saving you.” Naruto put his hooves around her hair and back as he brought her even closer. He could feel the warmth of her body and he didn’t even feel the rain as it fell onto his head and nose. “Luna I don’t care if I never find these emotions that you’ve found because I’ll never leave your side ever.”
“Naruto!” Luna pushed even harder into him. He accepted it as he looked at the three who were looking at him and Luna. He smiled at them which is something not even he knew why he did that. He just wanted to smile at them mainly at Shining. “I want to live with you Naruto and have a family together but that may be asking too much right now?”
“It’s a little much right now but when I feel like it’s not I’ll tell you I promise.” Naruto said pulling her out to look into his eyes. He wanted her to know that he was serious. “We’ve been like a family for months haven’t we. We’ve been under the same roof since day one. Who knows it may come sooner than you think.”
Luna had tears coming out of her eyes but she was smiling. The rain kept coming down drenching them but a hurricane could have been going on and they wouldn’t have let each other go. “Luna, somepony else needs to confess their feelings right now, he can’t go on like he is without doing it.” Luna and Naruto stood up with Luna keeping as close to her stallion as possible. Naruto let this happen because he now finally understood everything that Luna did and why she wanted him so close to her.
“Shining you can’t go holding everything in like you do.” Naruto said walking up to him leaving Luna where she was. Only Luna was okay with this. She knew he was coming back no matter what. “I may not be one to give you the advice but if it were me and I had your feelings I would have told her by now without fear because it wouldn’t matter to me whether she thought I was crazy or not I would still love her to no end. If she meant as much as the one you love does to you.”
Shining looked from Naruto to Cadence and his gaze didn’t move from her. He looked at her with this new courage that he had never felt before. Maybe seeing Luna confess her feelings gave him the courage. “Cadence…I…” He hesitated looking down as he grinded his teeth. “Cadence I don’t care if you hate me for saying this but you’re the most beautiful mare that I have seen in my whole life. If someone were to ask me who the most beautiful pony was I would immediately say your name. You are the most amazing thing in my life and I would die if you weren’t around.”
“Shining do you really mean that?” Twilight moved away from Cadence and over to Naruto as Luna came up next to him as well. “Do you truly mean that?” Her voice was that of someone pleading.
“Yes of course I mean it! Whenever I hear someone call us a couple I feel on cloud nine. I want to be yours and no one else’s but you keep pushing me away and I haven’t found the courage to tell you this but Cadence I am in love with you. I don’t care how you feel because it won’t matter. Even if you hate me now I will never stop loving you!” Shining may have taken a few words from Luna but what he was saying was true. 
(Author’s Note: If none of you are still getting what this chapter was about look at its title once more. And yes it is a lot or a little mushy but this is a drama romance so it’s supposed to have a little of that in it and I got tired of making Naruto so dense.)
“Shining, I never knew you felt that way before.” Cadence felt the sting of her own tears come as they fell from her cheeks. Shining could somehow tell that she was crying and got to her sides as quickly as possible. He put his hoof on her shoulder trying to give her comfort. “Shining I know this isn’t what you expected but you’ve always been my knight in shining armor, no pun intended. I’ve always seen something in you that I never saw in anyone else not even Twilight. I still don’t know what I saw in you but I don’t care anymore.” She looked up into his eyes startling him a little bit. “I’m in love with you too.” 
Shining’s eyes widened as Cadence’s lips covered his. Her hooves wrapped around his neck as he fell to the floor on his butt. Cadence finally said it. She finally, after all these years of being with him, she finally confessed her feelings to the stallion she loved. Just like Luna did with Naruto. Shining’s eyes slowly closed as he put his arms around Cadence’s rain soaked hair and coat. Their kiss deepened from a kiss of confession, just as did Luna’s and Naruto’s kiss did, to a kiss of desire and want. A kiss of utter need.
They drew apart from each other’s lips but not from each other’s arms. They both have waited too long for this day and thanks to Naruto and Luna it happened. “Cadence I’ve wanted this for so long I can’t tell you how long it’s been.” Shining was beside himself as his cheeks were red with passion for the mare he loved.
“Same here Shining,” Cadence drew closer to him putting her head against his chest, “your heart’s beating so fast Shining.”
“Well of course it is. I’m nervous as heck right now. Like I said I’ve wanted this for so long that I would’ve have taken your answer on my death day if that had to be the case.” Shining stroked her hair softly. “Can I finally call you my marefriend Cadence? Can I call you mine?”
“On one condition,” Shining looked down at her as she drew closer with her eyes closed slightly, “I get to call you mine and no one else can have you or your happiness but me. You have to promise me that you will never betray me, don’t ever think that someone else is better than me. I need to know for a fact that you’re mine and all mine!”
“Then you have my promise my love.” Cadence smiled at him then as he looked at her with a very serious expression. “Nothing will tear me from your arms lest it be your own arms. I won’t allow myself to dream of anypony else other than you Cadence because you’re my only choice for my life. I would marry you right now if I could. But I will wait and I want you to wait just a little longer for me to be ready for that.”
“Please don’t keep me waiting then.” Cadence locked with his lips again and was lost in the kiss as was he. They pulled closer deepening the kiss even further than before. They let go a few seconds later, “Shining I could wait forever even in death I would wait for your proposal but please do hurry up and get ready.”
“I promise it won’t be long Cadence just hang in there a little longer my love.” Shining stood up helping Cadence to her feet as well. He turned around to see Naruto with Luna under his arm. “Thanks Naruto, now I have what I’ve always wanted. If it’s okay with you when I ask Cadence to marry me will you be my best colt?” Shining asked putting his arm around Cadence who used this as a way to get closer to him. 
“Only if Luna gets to be the mare of honor.” Shining and Naruto both laughed as the ones who loved them smiled at each other. “I’ll take that as a yes.”
“Naruto can we go home now just me and you?” Luna asked getting her grammar all wrong.
“Sure if you guys don’t mind me and my girl got to get home and make a new treaty.” Naruto said looking into the eyes of the mare he cared about so dearly. Even though he didn’t know how he felt about her he knew that he cared for her immensely. “Besides were still working on the upstairs cleaning.”
Naruto left the house with Luna in his hoof. As they walked through Ponyville they were looked at as if they were foreign ponies. They walked together not letting the other go whether it be with a wing or a hoof on the hoof of the other. Naruto looked up and couldn’t believe how much time had passed since Luna came into his life. Time was moving so fast and he wanted it to slow down but today he finally learned all the reasons why Luna did what she did. Why she wanted to stay here, why she wanted to live with him, why she wanted him to promise to be by her side. He finally understood it all. Finally his head didn’t have any questions about it.
They quickly got back to the house as the sun was going down. They both looked up to see the full moon looking down upon them. “Beautiful isn’t it Naruto?” Luna asked not taking her eyes off the moon.
“It is but not as beautiful as you Luna.” Naruto spoke the truth as he hugged her underneath the moonlight’s glow. They embraced each other within their arms and hooves as they sat there until they couldn’t anymore. They headed for their beds until Luna had something to ask.
“Naruto would you mind if we slept together?” Naruto being the ditz that he is immediately thought the wrong thing. “I don’t mean that just side-by-side is all but if it’s too uncomfortable for you I won’t pressure you into it.
“If it’s just sleeping next to each other than I’m perfectly fine with it.” Naruto lied down and Luna put her arms around him as they both fell to the clutches of sleep. Their hearts beating faster even in sleep. Their relationship has finally begun.
