//------------------------------// // The Love is in the air even when the world around us is destroyed in slow motion. // Story: So you are suddenly a soon-to-be husband to a Sun-Goddess. // by TheDawsonator1 //------------------------------// My leg was still hurting but not as much as when I was trying to get up, it took a bit but I got to the room and I told the nurse should we be needed we’ll be here. As soon as the door closed I was in a seat and then Celestia hugged me like she never wanted to let go, I saw tears coming out of her eyes as she did. “Celestia, I’m sorry I must have caused you so much pain while I was unconscious” I said to her while in the hug. “No, it was not your fault, it was his, for the last two weeks, it’s been nothing but worry and anger, I almost lost you” Celestia said with tears still down her eyes. “And I almost lost you too, while I was unconscious, I was sort in critical conscious and I’ve been thinking too…” I trailed off. “Tell me, Jason.” Celestia kindly got me to carry on. “I can’t go any longer without telling you this, I almost died and it really makes you consider life choices. But I must confess this, every time I see you, I feel joy, every time we touch, I feel warmth and fuzziness, I look into your eyes and I see such beauty that I think is a crime not to appreciate, I feel like I want to spend time with you all day even if it’s just sitting and watching something in the background so I must say this…” I trailed off again. Celestia was looking at me like she knew what I was going to say, well here goes… “I thought at first it was the least I could do to make you have the experience you deserved after we ended up bedding each other, but after that date, I just couldn’t stop thinking about you in fact, I want to spend the rest of my mortal life with you…I…I…lo…I…oh come just say it! I love you, Celestia! I want to marry you not because of some circumstance but because I love you!” I confessed my love for Princess. Celestia didn’t answer but she smiled at a smile the would make Pinkie Pie jealous, it was a beautiful smile as she went straight into a kiss before I knew it. I’ll take that as a I love you too. The kiss was so passionate, for a mare that has only kissed a stallion once she sure is good at kissing. I could feel the love in it and we must have been going for two minutes before Luna came in, but before that I swore I swore my skin glowing a light blue colour and Celestia’s a light pink. Did I mention the best part of Celestia was the smile? That smile would be worth a war to get Celestia put one on her face. “Tia…art thou and Jason truly in love?” Luna asks from the doorway, we forgot to close it. “I believe so little sister, although we may have to ask Cadence on that subject” Celestia joked on that one. “Whatever will we do, Celestia? If we can’t find a Princess of Love anywhere however will we be able to tell if we love each other or not” I joined in on the joking “Verily funny, we art here to tell you the culprit is under high security, he has not said a word” Luna says in a serious tone. “I will talk to him tomorrow, for now, I believe someone needs his rest for now” Celestia says, looking at me. Ow! Leg! Your input was not needed there! Anywho, a nurse showed us to a more not-desolated room by a very pissed off goddess, say what you will but she was freaking scary and awesome at the same time, that’s who I am marrying, mares and gentlecolts. That said, a good rest is fundamental to recovery, I ain’t gonna be no fool and besides, I have confessed my love to Celestia and she loves me back and she’s next to me, I feel like as long as Celestia is around, I know nothing could happen to me while sleeping. So yeah…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… The next morning… Yaawwwwnnn…did I actually sleep so well? Then again, I see Celestia next to me reading a book (well it’s not like you can just play a DS or a 3DS to pass the time). “Morning Celly” I said as I got up. “Good morning to you Jason, did you sleep well?” Celestia asks with a smile. “To be honest, surprisingly yes after all that has happened” I answer. “Yes, I’m afraid I haven’t been quite myself, I have been quite angry and I will not deny it, I thought you were lost and if you did come lost, I may have ended up burning the whole of Equestria to find the one responsible” Celestia admits. “Well I can’t say I’d be on the moral high ground as I might have did that myself, what about Dash? Is she okay now?” I ask Celestia. “She’s alright at the moment, I believe should wake up at any moment” Celestia says. “I just feel so bad she put it on the line for me, Dash is brave, very brave and a loyal friend, something I wish I could have, I find it scary that somepony wanted me dead and I have no idea who it is, it’s one of the nobility for sure but which one?” I say to her Celestia stares at me for a moment and comes into thought. “We may not know who it is yet, but we will find out, and rest assured when we do find him, that pony will pay for what he has done” Celestia says to me in a serious tone. “As much as I want justice, I want you to keep your cool when you find him, if we do find who it is and move on, you’re having me or Luna around, you almost killed the guy out of blind rage, I want to know why he wants me dead and his motives” I say to her I have seen Celestia’s fiery form and I don’t think she will see reason a second time, as there was no pony it seems to lead on this time. What about me? I considered death as fair payment for my would-be-assassin, I flat out felt like I should’ve killed him right then and there. Is this who I am coming? A person that loves his friends and soon-to-be wife but comes cold to others? When someone wrongs him he deals ruthless blows, considers killing without emotion? That shouldn’t be me, but yet here I am, feeling like I should kill this noble when I find him. Ah, but isn’t it human nature to want revenge? An eye for an eye so to say, well if I killed him I’d take 2 of his eyes as he took 1 of mine so that goes out the window. But that aside, is it wrong for me to want to revenge upon the noble who wants me dead? Maybe, but would Celestia go with that? No she really wouldn’t, I don’t think she’d want to marry a killer, she’d want to marry the Jason she knows and loves. GAH! THIS IS ALL SO CONFUSING SOMETIMES! Just focus on the present, right now, you should get better and see Dashie, yes? Well, go do it! It was about 2 hours after I woke up, I had been told that Dash was awake and I instantly went to see her along with Celestia. I don’t think Celestia will ever let me out of her sight for a long time and who could blame her? And besides, with Celestia I feel safe even in the most dire of situations. I had been given a human wheelchair to go around in as that little episode last night had not helped my leg, my head still hurt a bit but it wasn’t needing to be bandaged to death, stupid leg almost got me killed with its pain act it was doing. I could manually move myself with the wheelchair but since Celestia insisted on moving me herself, I wasn’t looking a gift pony in the mouth so I just went with it. Anywho, when we came in, we saw Soarin (Dash’s boyfriend and Wonderbolt) in with Rainbow, haven’t seen him in a while. Soarin, he’s a bit of an idiot, like me, but I think if you haven’t been an idiot once, you’ve had a boring life, oh and tip, Apple Pie appeases Soarin’s taste buds if you ever need something to have as a peace offering. Back to the subject, Dash was wide awake and had been talking to Soarin whom had been worried sick (So was I, thanks for asking). “Sup Dash” I said to her “Jason, you’re awake!” Dash says as I came close enough for a hug. Sure the hug was a bit stretched but hugs are hugs. I know it's mushy but still we almost died so I AM ALLOWED A HUG DAMN YOU! “I honestly thought I lost you for a moment there Dash, I wouldn’t have lived with myself if I did lose you and Soarin here would’ve killed me” I said straight-up. “Well I wasn’t letting some low-life taking you in your sleep, not a chance in Tartarus” Dash says with a cocky grin. “Yeah, I saw the end part and all the sudden he stabbed you and then he went for me and thankfully I held him off and then Celestia here chucks him through 2 walls” I say to Dash. “That’s lucky, dude.” Dash says with a hoof bump. “Eh, not luck, just what happened, and I happened to have the most loyal friend ever, you are a true friend, you know that right?” I was thankful Dash was around. “I know, I AM pretty awesome, my Element of Loyalty gig ain’t going anytime soon, not now and definitely not for a long time, besides, I never leave my friends hanging” Dash says “Spoken like a true friend and a true Wonderbolt” Soarin adds in, whom was silent the whole time I was here. “Indeed, it was very brave of you, Rainbow Dash. I only wish I could have got here sooner to prevent the injuries, but what is done is done” Celestia praises Dash’s efforts. Actually, that raises a question I had in the back of my mind, may as well ask it. “How did you know we were in danger, Celestia? I mean the red button next to my bed I assumed was for medical emergencies so some doctors would have come but you came first” I ask my marefriend. “Oh? After the attempt on your life, I took no chances, I had a detection spell on the room in secret, if an unknown pony, weapon or anything to signify a life threat was detected, I would be notified. I also linked the button to my magic as well, so I got two notifications in which I hurried at once. Like I said, I take no chances when it comes to those I care about” Celestia explains So she had a ready alarm system with her magic, that’s…kind of neat and would be damn helpful in normal lives.. “So how come this doesn’t go into normal lives?” I ask Celestia. “While the spell is passive, it requires a constant flow of magic that a normal unicorn just cannot hold. If a unicorn knew of a danger, it could hold for a few hours but it is not the most effective defense to use when alone.” Celestia explains the drawback of the spell. Curse you, annoying drawbacks to all the cool stuff/ “Well that’s...highly inconvenient” I comment on that. “Yeah, what he said. What happened to the guy who did this anyway?” Dash asks from her bed. “He is under lock and key, but his escape chances a very minimal and I have placed all precautions to prevent his escape, he has not talked about his employer yet but we will find him” Celestia says as she had a frown as she thought about that pony. My leg was still in a bit of pain, probably should rest it some more, but there’s a thought that has just occurred to me, that whole fiery thing Celestia had, and the whole blue and pink aura Celestia and I had when we kissed, is that normal? Maybe I should ask Cadence that one, then again, maybe I should find out more about the mare I marry, if we’re gonna be together for the rest of my mortal life, I should at least know her. I don't know if Luna would tell me but Cadence was close and she is the Princess of Love, that aura thing happened when we kissed so I should go ask her. For now, Dash and I need our rest, besides, I can’t go anywhere with this infernal leg paining, how is that the head heals so quick, but the stupid leg takes forever to heal? This healing magic sucks.
