2 hours later…
Me and Carrot had been sitting in a corner and talking for hours by now, our friends somehow managing to avoid us completely, which, in reality, wasn’t all that hard when we had been occupying the same small corner of the room for the longest time. It didn’t really take a genius to figure out that the whole situation had been carefully planned out before hoof… Not that I did mind at all. I was more than happy to be able to spend some time with the shy and oh so cute yellow stallion.
“Okay, listen up all mares and stallions!” The singer on the stage suddenly said, calling everypony’s attention. “We’ll now be playing the last song of the evening, and it’s an old dear that will never go out of style and is named *I’ve got you*!”
The hole mass of ponies cheered at once, all of them familiar with the endless love classic that had been played on the radio since the stone age, and Carrot looked over at me with a slightly nervous smile plastered across his face.
“Do you want to dance?” He asked as the band was getting ready to start singing the last song of the evening.
“I’d love to!” I responded, grabbing his hoof and dragging him out on the dance floor as the band started playing.
Our life is always changing
and the menu never seems to stay the same
it started out so simple
and now it's grown into a giant sweet buffet
but what else can I say it's just life
it grows out from a tiny recipe
but then it gets so crazy and wild
it seems that things never get easy
but I don't really mind
as long as you're with me
For some reason, somepony had opened a window and the chill night breeze that leaked into the round room made me shake, only being dressed in a thin, decorative dress, also causing me to almost unwillingly moving in closer to my dancing partner, who happily welcomed me into his unnaturally warm and cozy embrace.
the things that we go through and the time that will pass
just know that I will be here to make the moments last
and though it seems life may be hopeless and untrue
I know that I can make it through the hardships
cause I've got you
Suddenly, I felt that Carrot was pressing my body even closer to his, and his face was moving closer to mine, inch by inch, all until our lips met in a single passionate kiss that I'd come to remember every single day for the rest of my life. The feelings that exploded inside me as our lips locked was impossible to tell, a chaos of impulses from the different senses and overwhelming emotions intertwining and creating one big blissful cloud of positive emotion that continued to fill my hole being, even after he broke the kiss a few moments later, but still keeping the close physical contact between us.
I never seem to notice
all the time we've spent together since our youth
the years continue passing
in a giant whirl of sweet and sour truths
but through it all we still find a way
to be together when it's bitter sweet
and through it all I still see your smile
and that alone can top any treat
and now I'm glad to say
I know that you're with me
"Thank you" I whispered softly into chest, relaxing and leaning my head against it, feeling the steady beat of his heart somewhere beneath the warm orange fur. Unbeknownst to the stallion embracing me as we continued to glide in circles through the room, the kiss he had just given me had been the very first in my whole life, and I doubted it could have been much more perfect than it was.
"For what?" Carrot questioned, looking down at me with a smile, his beautiful blue eyes meeting mine in a moment of perfect bliss before I looked away.
"For loving me..." I replied quietly, lowering my head and once more snuggling into his chest. I could feel his breast muscles tightening and for a second I wondered if I had said something stupid. Maybe he didn't love me. Maybe he just did it to be nice or something. But no...there had undoubtedly been something more than just pity that drove him to kiss me, and the way he had been acting all night also suggested something more.
“That’s all I want to do”
The words were a mere whisper wavering in the air above my head, but it meant a thousand time more than any kiss or slow dance ever would, and it made me feel safe and warm on the inside as my heart fluttered and seemingly swelled in my chest, over filled with feelings of love and affection.
