Mi'Amor
Perfection. Was I wrong to think it? I don’t know… and at this point, I don’t care.
Glints of the sun’s starting dawn tricked through the closed shutters and across the picturesque chamber. The soft ambient glow of the sun’s rays grooved along the crinkles of the used bed sheets, and along the slowly ebbing bulges of the two souls that rested beneath them. For the two, it had been the first time since a hectic wedding day since they had found a moment of peace. So, together with one another huddling into each other for warmth that only a love could provide, they snuggled warmly into the day’s dawn.
Soft chirps and pattering wings became a natural alarm for the newly made bride as her soft drossy eyes fluttered open with some resistance. “Mmmm… come on Cadance… up and at ‘em…” it seemed almost futile for her to give herself a mental pep-talk; it was far too pleasing to be snuggled up to her love.
But with a weak stir, her eyes finally made the full peak to open. With that, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, or Cadance to those she loved and held dear, stretched her neck with little strain; electing a partial yawn along with the effort. The princess sat up while letting some of the blanket to coat over her folded in wings. For some time, she took in the peace of the chamber. It was a vast contrast to the chaos she had gone through before and during her own wedding. “I can’t believe it’s only been two days since my own wedding… Even more, I can’t believe I almost lost all of this,” it wasn’t exactly her forte to focus on the negative of a situation, but the thoughts came and went.
Regardless, sitting upright on that soft bed with the inviting warmth of the stallion to her side, those thoughts quickly melted away for a short time. She then turned to the warmth beside her and gave a soothing smile along with a low coo as she admired the vision. Her love, her husband, and her beacon of hope: Shining Armor, sleeping soundly like a baby to its mother.
Her lips formed into a somber smile while she dreamingly watched her love breathe softly in his slumber. A single hoof ran through the muddled blue mane of her husband, letting her own mind succumb to thought. “I might not have even been able to feel this mane. To enjoy his warmth. To remind him that he needs to comb his mane,” her airy laugh mixed well with the light tweets and chirps of the morning birds, “Honestly. Twilight always keeps a clean, flowing mane. Shining could take a note from his own sister’s book,” her bare hoof swirled gingerly in Shining Armor’s mane while she sighed lovingly, “it doesn’t matter when I think about it. I actually enjoy fixing him up before he goes to the rest of the guards.”
The young princess watched as her groom stirred a little at the strokes of his bride; as if moving into the touch. She warmed at the motion, but suddenly she felt a sinking feeling crossed her heart. Before her wedding, she was replaced by a twisted queen; a queen that was willing to rob her of everything she loved in one fell swoop. Cadance didn’t really let it cross her mind until this moment, sitting beside the stallion she loved more than anything, but the thought would have to come up sooner or later. She was missing for nearly three days before her wedding… three days that Shining was alone with that queen. She felt uneasy thinking about it as her brows furrowed and she looked Shining Armor over. Still fast asleep.
“He was controlled… It’s ridiculous for me to even think about this,” she mentally scolded herself, “before last night we never shared a bed. I’m just over thinking things,” that in her mind, she was calmed ever slightly. “Buuuut…” Cursing that, she went back into her own skeptical thoughts.
“I was in a mine, alone, for about three days… Three days away from my Shining Armor. Three days of him being alone with that, that…” jealousy was unbefitting Cadance, but hysteria was quickly taking place of rational, “That… tramp. Three days with her cuddling, and ogling, and kissing—kissing! Kissing my fiancée!” her interiar rage began to bleed through her face as she used her free hoof to emphasize her displeasure at the could-bes. “Just the thought ruffles my feathers…” the princess’s wings did a quick furl against her sides. However, her expression suddenly became saddened.
“And I couldn’t do anything… Only hope to Celestia that I would get there in time to stop everything. Moment by moment, hopes slowly withering away,” a sigh passed through her lips and she looked over the room searchingly. Her search stopped when her eyes set on a trio of porcelain pony miniatures that she remembered receiving as a wedding gift from her new and beloved sister. “And wouldn’t you know it?” a proud smile crossed her visage, her eyes closing as he mind flashed back to that faithful moment, “My prayers were answered by an old friend attacking me.” She once more couldn’t help but laugh at the idea, despite how grateful she was.
It was hard to admit, but her hopes were slowly chipping away before that little mare, that filly she took care of and loved every moment of it in her youth, came to her accidental aid. In that filly, she saw everything she loved about her brother. Intelligence, integrity, tenacity, and of course heart. “I love my family… All the more now with this marriage.”
In the midst of her thoughts she failed to notice as Shining Armor’s eyes began to flicker limply, the sight of his beautiful wife being the first thing to welcome his morning. With a groggy low tone, the Captain of Royal Guard spoke up. “Mmm… Morning Mi’amor… Were you awake long?”
Her eyes quickly locking onto her love, Cadance smiled before giving the stallion a light kiss on his cheek. “Morning Mi’Armor… No, I just woke up.” She assured Shining Armor, her face quickly taking to a more seductive expression, “I was actually enjoying the view…”
The newlywed couple exchanged light laughter before cuddling into one another well into the passing day.

Holy picture. Imma just say this. I was not interested much in the story, but the story image made me read it. And it was great.
Featured bar HO!

That image is old, I need to fix it.
Now
that's a bachelor party.
See you on the featured section, my friend.
This is a nice short story. Thanks for this!
541168 I'll fix that up right away.
Loved it.
One thing was bugging me though. 'Groo' is a term used on the wedding day, afterward it's just husband. Other than that,
/
Absolutely wonderful. Hope to see more from you soon.
Beautiful.
i like it, it was just romance, no drawn out love story, no clop no tripple x ness to it it was just true and simple, almost pure.
Loved it :)
Keep good working!
A great read. Just one problem I found, "she dreamingly watched her love breath softly in his slumber. " it should be breathe. But I really loved everything else about it; nice stream of consciousness, nice timing, nice prose.
somepony get this man a feature!
541724 Oh come now. We all know I can't get a feature
541761 when i first joined, something with 50 likes (or rather 50 5-star ratings) would be first spot in the list. oh how the times have changed
So sweet
XD Dat ending... Here's what his mane was saying to Cadence.

Es bueno. Muy beuno. Reflection fics are always pretty good
543579 I pride myself with a good reflection.
Very nice premise (And picture). I especially liked the little bit about Shining's mane, as I couldn't get out of my head what 542222 posted. A favorite for you, good brony.

Oh, I was wondering who it was by. Thanks!
542222 Where's that adorable picture from, it's so cute!
545597 I posted it in the description. JJ was nice enough to give me the picture to use. Aren't I lucky?

cute
Yes, quite cute.
Cute, I wish I found it sooner
What a lovely picture this story paints with all the fitting adjectives you use. Or.. wait... adjectives is the right word.. right? I have school in seven days and I've lost quite the amount of mental capacity.
Nice story, needs a proof read.
Good story, I think it's your birthday too? Happy birthday
Happy birthday! I read this about a month ago but didn't comment, but since it's your birthday I'll comment on it. Happy birthday!
I like this story, it was a nice quiet read and was quite refreshing to read a romance that was devoid of... certain types of content that seem to be prevalent in "romance" stories on this site. (I typically stay far from away anything tagged "romance" because of this, but I was correct in thinking you could do better.) It was interesting getting into Cadance's thoughts and the story was cute.
:D I liked this. It made me happy inside and out. Also, adorable nicknames for each other. Happy Birthday flinx.
You've done it again, Overlord. You've made a great story.
Except this isn't comedic.
I love it! FAV FOR YOU!
The only thing I don't like is some of the grammar.
I'd gladly edit this story; just send me a PM if you want more information.
Short, simple, and sweet. Absolutely perfect. Five stars.
Short but sweet. There is still unknowns about what happened between Shining and Chrysalis that could eat at Cadence. I am sure you could expand on the idea if you wanted to.
Ah yes...the beauty of a short story such as this. While I do enjoy a story that can go on for a while it is nice to take a step back and read such a wonderfully short story
DAWWW
IT'S SO FLUFFY!!!
Wow! that was sweet
This is a good fic, and I'm gonna read it again
I love how Cadence fought over those horrid emotions... I would of prefer more, but my thirst was quenched
I have thought of a scene to use for my contest entry... I hope you like it when its finished.
A nice little tale right here. Short, simple and to the point. I think what I liked most about it is that it covers the IMPACT of an event; as opposed to the event itself. Often those are the parts that affect characters the most as their minds process the previous events in a fresh mindset. So, it's very refreshing to see a story go into how the wedding affected their relationship after all was said and done.
Sorry if I went on a bit of a ramble there; the story got me thinking was all. A lovely little read is my final word on it. Here, have a fave
Awww so cute
