Please? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Rarity can I go outside please?" asked Sweetie Belle for the umpteenth time. "But Sweetie Belle, it's getting late." said Rarity. "Besides, your friends are probably at their homes by now." Don't worry Rarity, I'm not going to see them, I just only want to hangout with Rumble." said Sweetie Belle. The moment when she said his name, Rarity then stopped was she was doing and turned to face her little sister. "I'm sorry, what did you just say Sweetie Belle!?" Rarity asked while a bright smile formed on her lips. Sweetie Belle was taken back from Rarity's reaction, but proceed to answer her question. "I said that I just want to hang out with Rumble." she said quietly. "And this happens to be the colt from your class you've been talking about?" asked Rarity still smiling brightly at her sister. "Uh ye- yeah, that's him." said Sweetie Belle. She quickly lowered her face to hide the blush that was forming on her cheeks. "Oh my Celestia!" Rarity screamed with excitement as she carried her little sister up in the air before hugging her tightly. "Rarity, your squishing me!" Sweetie Belle said as she struggled to breathe from her sister's hug. Rarity notices this and she quickly released her her onto the ground before smiling at her. "Oh forgive me Sweetie Belle but is it true that are going to see Rumble?" she asked. "Ye-yeah." said Sweetie Belle before another blush appeared on her cheeks. "We were talking yesterday and we both agreed to hang out today." "Oh my, well why didn't you said so." Rarity said as she smiled at her sister. "Of course you can go hang out with Rumble. Just be sure to return before it gets dark." "Really?" asked Sweetie Belle with a smile forming on her lips. "Absolutely besides, I think it's sweet of you to spend some time with a colt!" Rarity then said before pulling her sister into a small hug. Sweetie Belle blushed at the moment but kindly returned the hug. "Thanks Rarity!" she said as she made ran out the door leaving Rarity to herself. "My little sister is growing up so fast." she said to herself as a small tear leaked out of her eyes. ***** As Sweetie Belle walked along the trail that lead her to the location where she would meet up with Rumble, she starts to have thoughts to herself. Ever since she and Rumble started hanging out, she couldn't help but feel excited whenever they're together. Just last week when they when out for some milkshakes at Sugarcube Corner, she could remember telling Rumble how much of a gentlecolt he was when inviting her. If I there's one thing that surprises her is that Rumble is very protective over her. Just two days ago while walking together home from school, they came across Diamond Tiara who started teasing them the second she saw them. Even more surprising when Rumble stood over her defending her. She smiled at the memory as she let out a small sigh. As she continued walking along the trail, she soon spotted Rumble sitting under a tree looking across the evening sky. She smiled before walking towards him. "Hey Rumble." Sweetie Belle catching his attention. "Oh hey Sweetie Belle." said Rumble smiling at her. "Sorry I couldn't get here sooner." she said. "I was busy hanging out with my friends." "That's alright." he said smiling at her. "I had chores to do with my brother." She then sat down next to him and start to notice his cheeks turning red making her smile. "So, what do you want to do?" Sweetie Belle asked. "After all, Rarity said that I can't stay out for to long." "Actually, I was wondering if you we could stay here and look at the sky." he said quietly. Sweetie Belle was surprised that Rumble didn't want to do anything but enjoy each other's company. That's sounds really romantic. "Sure, I'd love to stay here." she said smiling at him. The two ponies then started looking up at the bright yellow and reddish sky enjoying each others company. Unknown to Rumble, Sweetie Belle starts to scoots herself closer him pressing her body to his. Rumble turns his head and notice Sweetie Belle looking at him. He couldn't help but admire at her look. The way her purple and pink mane brightly her light coat. Her green eyes shines across his purple eyes. "Hey Rumble." said Sweetie Belle making him snap out of his trance. "Uh yeah Sweetie Belle." he said. "Ca-can I cu-cuddle with you, please?" she said blushing. Rumble could've sworn that he felt his heart stopped the second she asked that question. "Please?" Sweetie Belle asked again this time whimpering softly. "Uh, y- ye- yeah sure." Rumble said. He then moved himself closer to her by pressing his body into hers. He was then greeted by the warmth of her coat as she snuggled herself into his chest letting out a soft sigh. Rumble felt his cheeks burn as he moved his hoofs around her back pulling her closer. "Sweetie Belle gasped softly as she felt the soft hooves of Rumble touching her back making her heart race. They both smiled as they enjoyed each other's embrace. Letting their bodies relaxed as the snuggled deeply to each other. "I'm cuddling her close!" Rumble thought to himself. "He's cuddling me!" Sweetie Belle thought to herself as she let out another sigh. They both continued to to snuggle and enjoy each other's embrace as they looked up the evening sky. Sweetie Belle felt that she was in heaven. She never knew that being close with Rumble would be this amazing. Feeling the warmth and softness of his body was almost as just amazing than finding her cutie mark. Not intentionally, but this is just ten times better than holding her stuffed teddy bear. "Hey Sweetie Belle." said Rumble making her look up. "Yeah?" she said as she looked deeply into his bright purple eyes. Rumble didn't said anything but gently wrapped his hooves around her back and pulled her into a passionate kiss. Sweetie Belle eyes snapped widely open as she felt the warm sensation of his lips being pressed into hers. She slowly closed her eyes and let the pure bliss take over her mind. As gently as she could, she wrapped her hooves around his neck returning the kiss. Both of their hearts melted as their lips explored each other combined with the warmth of their bodies being close. As much as they want to last this forever, they quickly released each other for air. They soon looked at each other before Rumble spoke up. "Hey Sweetie Belle, there's something I've been wanting to tell you ever since we first met." he said before looking away. "What is it?" Sweetie Belle asked. Rumble didn't looked but kept his face hidden from Sweetie Belle. "Rumble?" she said worried if she'd hurt him. Rumble then turned his face around and looked inti her eyes. "Sweetie Belle, I love you." he said as a big and heavy sigh escaped through his nostrils. "Did he just said that!?" Sweetie Belle thought her mind being filled with many questions. "Do you really mean that Rumble?" asked Sweetie Belle as she moved her head closer to his. "Yes, I do love you Sweetie Belle." said Rumble closing his eyes in shame. "But I can understand if you don't feel the same thing about-" He was caught off as a pair of soft lips were being pressed into his. His eyes widened in surprise as his wings puffed out in it's full length. He slowly closed his eyes as he once again wrapped his hooves around her back pulling her close. They soon pulled away before looking at each other blushing lightly. "I love you Runble." said Sweetie Belle. "Re-really?" said Rumble blushing. "I do." she said smiling at him. "Ever since I first met you, you've been one of the greatest friends I ever had. You cared about me, look out for me, heck you stood up for me when Diamond Tiara was teasing us the other day." Rumble couldn't believe what he's hearing. But then again, she does have a good point. Always being there for her and being the nicest friend she could ever ask for. "I- I don't know what to say, thank you Sweetie Belle." said Rumble. "Don't thank me silly, thank you for always being nice and friendly with me." she said giggling. Rumble couldn't help but smile at her. He leaned forward gently kissing her check earning another giggle from her. "So I was wondering Sweetie Belle, would be my-" He's was once again cut off by a pair lips in his making him close his eyes. After they parted, Sweetie Belle smiled brightly at Rumble making him smile. "Of course I would love to be your special somepony Rumble." she said smiling at him. Rumble couldn't help but hug Sweetie Belle. Enjoying each other's embrace made all of his excitement go away. He then let go of the hug and allowing Sweetie Belle to snuggle into his chest again. He quickly wrapped a wing back her the both looked up the night sky.
