...why does this feel so relatable? xD
Oh look it's me.
Wow Spike, way to guilt someone. Jeez.
Lord... that anxiety. That worry. That feeling of worthlessness, like a single mistake will lose you your love forever... I think a lot of us know that feel. I know I do.
Sorry Starlight, but you can't mind magic this away. At least, not without destroying who you are. Gotta do therapy instead. Celestia knows you could use it.
And there's the kicker. The other person (in a two-person relationship) feeling just as insecure and worried... a very common feeling indeed. This is why talking things out matters, and why it's better to admit feelings even if they may feel like they hurt.
Oh no it's me.
Trixie why you gotta be such a cliche yo.
Anygay this was really quite sweet. A short tale of anxiety on both their parts, and worries shown to be mostly silly. I've seen circumstances like this go many ways though... a poor choice of words coming up that hill could easily cause a lot of problems. And yet Starlight was honest, which was the right thing to do.
Is a good Nailah story, for sure.
Hey, shouldn't there be a 'Romance' tag?

Romance isn't even the focus of this story, so I felt that tag wasn't needed here. But keep on the lookout because I'm planning to continue this at some point, and that'll be a romance.
This was a treat to read. I think it's a piece many people can connect with on either side (Starlight and Trixie's),
That was a sweet look at Starlight and Trixie's romance. It's interesting to see them presented with mutual anxiety, and it's nice to see them overcome it.
Not to be rude, but if you have romance in a story please tag it.
