Epilogue

After showering and thus, erasing all evidence of the steamy events from the past night, Cyrax and Chester stopped by Bernard and Michelle. Thanking the couple for silently helping their relationship numerous times. The two were shrugging off most of the compliments as they “Only gave them a nudge”.

Taking a stroll through the night, the two arrived by the statue of Sahlex Avenheart and his coltfriend. Chester told his friend the rest of their story and how the two of them, despite their dangerous desire for each other, had lived a happy life together. Cyrax couldn’t hold back tears over the cute story and once again, reflected on his own, rather surreal life and a smile spread across his lips.

Stopping by the house of Dusk, Chester was very nervous and worried, fearing that the two might not like each other. His fears were quickly silenced when the two ponies met on equal and were even chuckling more then once, clearly getting along pretty well.

Deciding to eat lunch together, Dusk, Chester and Cyrax made towards a small, delicate Inn and exchanged the wonderful news with the stallion, who was relieved two see them happy together.

Glancing over to Dusk, Chester could spot a smirk on the batpony, which almost mirrored the expression Cyrax was having aswell. And now, both their eyes were fixated on him. With bedroom eyes…

Breaking the gazes chuckling, the two took on a good laugh on Chesters’ flared up visage, the latter being busy unintentionally trailing off a lewd road.

‘I woundn’t mind tho…’

Coming down from his laughter and eyeing the couple, Dusk felt sadness creep into him.

Even though he shouldn’t, Dusk felt slightly jealous. Of course he was happy for them and would try his best not to ruin their luck by envying them. He did look forward to spending times like this with his friend too, but deep inside he knew it wouldn’t work that way.

Sometimes you just have to accept things for what they are.

His thoughts were quickly interrupted by Cyrax getting up and shooting a confused and surprised look towards the entrance. Dusk was thankful for that. Following his line of sight, Dusk laid eyes on a familiar face he did not expect to see today.

Standing in the doorframe was his friend Kryo…

Quickly rushing towards him, Dusk threw his hooves around his neck and gave him a hug. He returned the gesture and the two let go of each other. Making their ways back to the table, Dusk continued to question him about his surprise visit.

Showering Kryo in words, the blue changeling was unable to recognize Cyrax at first. Yet, after taking place, he and Cyrax finally met eyes.

“What the…WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?”, they both said in union while pointing a hoof at the other, baffled.

Dusk had to spit out his drink from the revelation and now shared his baffled expression with Chester.”Wait a minute…YOU KNOW EACH OTHER!?”, Dusk yelled out.

Now all four of them wore confused looks. It was Kryo who broke the awkward silence. “Well, would you look at that. This world really is small…”

Nodding, the table silently agreed before breaking into a laughter…

Author's Note:

Over the course of writing this fic I got into a real relationship with a boyfriend of mine. We had a rocky start together and, more then once, kept hurting each other unintentionally. Trying to get along was difficult and only worked on certian aspects.
Two weeks ago we decided to end our attempts and revert back to simple friendship. It was hard for me at first, given he was the first guy I ever truly felt in Love with. And I'd still love him If I could.

I guess one has to look forward and make the best of it. So, with these words, I conclude Shaded Hearts. An homage to the first relationship with a male I ever had. I hope it was entertaining and interesting to read.
