> The Unexpected > by The Silent King > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ponyville the friendliest town in all of Equestria, with the occasional monster attack or world crisis, but today was peac- "WHAT!?" Seven mares could be heard screaming from the Castle of Friendship. Today was not peaceful or quiet, today was the day Spike told his best friends that he was... Gay, and that he had a coltfriend. Spike and Rumble winced as they put their hooves/claws over their ears. They had expected such reaction but not one of this, volume. Rarity had fainted, (Of Course.) Apple Jack was smiling widely at the show of bravery and honesty Spike had showed, Fluttershy smiled weakly though her mind was a mess, PinkiePie was jumping up and down smiling a genuine smile thinking about all the parties she could throw for the new couple,- "Well of course I would be thinking about parties for Spike and his new coltfriend, why wouldn't I?" "How'd you do that!?" "Do what Mr. author?" "You just...you...never mind. Anyways." Rainbow had a confused look etched across her face, and Starlight looked...sad? But Twilight, Twilight's face was what scared the two boys the most. The alicorns face was emotionless, her mouth agape and the slow breaths she was drawing was the only way they could tell she was still alive. Apple Jack noticed this and waved a hoof in front of her face to snap her out of trance. She blinked once then twice, then looked at Spike and his lover. She slowly walked her way over to them, making them flinch but not move. Twilight looked down at them with the same expressionless face as before. Before she pulled them both in a hug and wrapped her wings around them. She then nuzzled Spike and whispered so only the three in the embrace could hear. "I'm so proud." Small tears of joy escaped all three of their faces as they continued their embrace. Spike could feel more hooves wrap around him, Rumble, and Twilight, but didn't say anything. That is until Spikes face started to become blue from the lack of oxygen. "CAN'T...BREATHE!?" Spike chocked out. The seven mares and colt reluctantly dropped their embrace as Spike fell on his knees huffing, electing a few giggles from the room. Twilight turned to the six girls in the room and said. "Umm...Excuse me girls? But can me and Spike talk, Alone?" The girls nodded and left the throne room. Twilight turned to Rumble giving off a sheepish smile. " Rumble. Right? Can me and Spike talk, alone?" Rumble looked back to Spike then to Twilight again before answering. "N-N-No." Rumble stuttered. "What?" Twilight asked surprised at the bold risk Rumble was taking not many would say 'No' to a princess especially with determination almost challenging for her to do something bad to him even if he stuttered. "Anything you can say to Spike, you can say to the both of us."Rumble replied somewhat more boldly. Spike smiled in appreciation and love at how his pegasus coltfriend was being so protective over him. Spike stepped closer to Rumble and put a claw under his chin before whispering, "Thanks." Spike then kissed him on the lips. Rumble was shocked by the forwardness of Spike but soon melted into the embrace kissing back. Spike broke the kiss after a few seconds longer and turned to Twilight, whom had a crimson blush upon her muzzle. "I'm going to guess you have some questions right?" Spike asked. Twilight merely nodded. "So I'm guessing you want the full story, so will start at when I realized I was gay." Twilight nodded again a little bit faster than she would have liked. Well it started when... 1 hour and 30 minutes later. "and that leads up to today were I told you guys." Twilight was thankful and shocked, thankfull that spike had gotten over his crush with Rarity and that he moved to find a colt whom he shared interests with and such, but shocked how this could've happened all under her muzzle. He had put up a cheerful facade for over a month. "Hey Twi, you okay?" Spike said looking at her quizzically. "Hmmm? Oh? Yes I'm fine this is just a lot to take in you know?" "I can imagine" Spike retorted. "Well if that's it you can go. I need to think about this some more." Twilight said. "Really? Thanks! Come on Rumble!" Spike replied before he grabbed one of Rumble's hoof and ran out the door. "Bye Miss Sparkle!" Rumble called out before he was dragged out by his drakefriend. How am I going to tell Celestia this? Twilight thought before sighing and trotting off to the kitchen for a daisy sandwich. Many may not know but, Celestia was Spike's adopted mother. Though Spike never knew he considered Her as more of a teacher and Twilight his mom, though he'd never admit it. Outside Spike and Rumble we sitting on a bench thinking about how they should celebrate. "I say we go get cupcakes at SugarCubeCorner, my treat of course." Rumble said. "We could, but we can do that any day." "Yeah." Rumble said a little disappointed. Spike noticed this and quickly tried to fix it. "But you not we can do?" Spike said with a coy smile. "No." Rumble said still a little bit downtrodden. Spike looked all around and quickly pulled a Rumble into a kiss. Catching Rumble by surprise but was quick to accept it. It was long and passionate. Spike took it up to the next step and prodded Rumble's teeth open and he slipped his long serpent tongue in, wrestling with Rumble's for dominance. Rumble moaned in delight as he thought, If this is how we're going to celebrate all the time , then I better come up with more excuses to celebrate! he really didn't want this to end, but even a pegasus and a dragon need air to breathe. They reluctantly broke apart a strand of saliva connecting them as the stared at each with dreamy eyes. > 3 Weeks Later > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3 weeks had gone by, for what seemed at best slowly, but to Spike and Rumble it went by faster than Rainbow Dash. Rumble was in Miss Cheerily's class patiently waiting for the bell to ring, he knew Spike would be waiting for him, because they had a date tonight. Almost everypony in PonyVille knew about the new relationship that had bloomed. Some looked at it with sweet smiles, others looked at it with disgust, especially Scootaloo because she had a crush on Rumble, and had no knowledge that Rumble was gay. Same went for Applebloom and Spike and to say they were 'mad' was the understatement of the century,... but they didn't do anything because Spike lived with the Princess of Friendship and they'd get in trouble with their sisters if they tried to ruin their relationship. Miss Cheerily was droning on about the history of cutiemarks and he couldn't care any less. He was daydreaming about Spike lifting him in his strong arms pulling him in for kiss, but was unfortunately snapped out of his daydream by a hoof tap on a shoulder. It was Pipsqueak his best friend whom had been acting very strangely whenever Spike was around. He also had been asking for the past week at school if Spike ever talked about him, which confused Rumble for every time he asked 'Why?' he would always put it off like he just wanted know. "Hey...um...Rumble? Do you think we can talk after school today, I really need to tell you something." Pipsqueak had a pleading look in his eyes as he said this. Today is finally the day were I tell both of them I love Spike. "I'm sorry Pip, but I've got a date with Spike after school so I don't think we ca-" "Rumble! Is there something you would like to share with the rest of us?" Most of the class turned to stare at Rumble. "Horseapples" Rumble quietly muttered. "No Miss Cheerily! Nothing to share!" Rumble quickly responded. He got a skeptical look before she went back to teaching. Rumble turned to Pip giving him a look of 'I'll talk to you later' but was surprised to see Pip looked...sad? Rumble was shocked to say the least. The bell rung signaling that school was over. All the fillies and colts rushed out to go home or to go play. Except for Pip and Rumble. Pip had already started on walking out of school and was at least two hoovesteps out of the school until a hoof was placed over his shoulder. Pip looked up to see Rumble with a small smile adorning his face. "Pip, are you okay?" Rumble asked with a genuinely concerned tone. "No." Pipsqueak replied sullenly hanging his head down, though a hoof brought his chin back up, giving him the full view of Rumble's face etched with worry. "It's just- "Hey guys!" Their heads both shot up, both with different looks as they saw who had called out to them. Pip had a look of forlorn but mixed with shyness and desire. Rumble had a lovestruck look in his now half open eyes, wearing a dopey smile as his wings shot up in excitement. Spike chuckled at he sight of Rumble, and walked over to him. Rumble was so caught up in the sight of his lover he didn't even get a chance to react when Spike pulled him in for a soft kiss on the lips. Rumble and Pip's faces went red for...different reasons. Pipsqueak coughed and said something that caught them both off guard. "Sooooo, has you're guys relationship been going good." Come One Pip this is you're chance just tell him how you feel and get It Overe With. "Couldn't be better, but out of curiosity, why do you ask?" Spike asked. "Umm...well I..." Think, think, think, their waiting for an answer you can't just stand here and wave it off like you did with Rumble. Gah! I DON'T CARE ANYMORE! Pipsqueak rushed forward to Spike and pulled him into a short but forceful kiss on the lips. Spike stood their stunned, his mind instantly froze. Rumble jaw hit floor as he watched his best friend kiss his drakefriend. Pip ended the kiss and ran off towards his home leaving a frozen drake and a stunned colt in his wake. It took at least a few seconds for Rumble's gears to start turning again, and when they were in full working order he was furious, his face becoming a scarlet hew, his nose scrunched up and contorted with anger. "He's so DEAD!" Rumble screamed as he turned around to gallop after Pip only to be turned right back around by Spike and pulled into a long passionate kiss. Rumble resisted at first trying to keep his mind focused on being angry at Pip, that is until Spikes tongue slipped twisting around his own or slowly tracing over his square teeth. Rumble eyes widened in surprise as he enjoyed the new found sensation. Both moaning in pleasure before they stop to look into each other's eyes. With peace and silence surrounding them. "Don't worry about Pip today hon, will talk to him tommorow morning for now, let's go on our date. _________________________________________________________________________ Pip burst into his bedroom giggling like a mad colt. I did it, I did it, I did it. I finally kissed Spike. Oh, I can't believe it...it tasted heavenly, I wonder if this is how Rum..ble. The realization hit Pipsqueak hard he had just kissed his drakefriend in front of Of hi. Without a second thought. "Oh no, what have I done. Now I might lose my best friend and Spike!"
