Letter For Rarity[EB1]
Dear Rarity,
I can't find the right words to say what I want to say... Spike looks at what he just wrote. “No…” He lets out a grumble and crumbles up the piece of paper. He throws it behind him. It bounces out of his room and into the hallway stopping at the hooves of a lavender alicorn.
Princess Twilight’s curiosity gets the better of her and she picks up the paper using her alicorn magic. Opening the paper she reads what’s on it. Her heart sinks, Spike was older now and feelings from the past were becoming stronger. She could see it in him. Oh, Spike. She glances in at him as he continues writing. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't help. She summons her alicorn magic and teleports to the one pony that can help.

Rarity lets out a sudden gasp with Princess Twilight just appearing inside Carousel Boutique without an announcement. “Twilight, you nearly scared the life out of me…whatever do you…” Her voice trails off when she noticed the look in one of her best friends' eyes.
Twilight doesn’t say a word only holds out the piece of paper that Rarity takes with her unicorn magic. “This…is Spike’s handwriting…” She could see that it wasn’t his usual style, the lettering looked shaky. She levitates a quill and inkwell over to her and uses the quill to write a message under his. “I’d like to go see him.”
Twilight nods with a smile and together they teleport back to Friendship Castle.
Upon arriving, Rarity knows which room Spike is in. “Don’t worry Twilight, I’ve got this.” She could feel her heart racing inside her chest, she had the piece of paper rolled up and held in her magic. Making her way up the stairs she watches as another piece of paper finds its way out into the hallway. Silently she walks up to the door and finds her Spikey setting on the floor leaning over a pile of rolled-up papers surrounded by many crumpled-up ones. She could see the frustration on his face. Oh, darling… Rarity laid down behind him making sure not to make a sound.
Spike started to reach out for another rolled-up piece of paper as Rarity used her magic to place her scroll near his claw. Without looking he picked up a piece of paper, letting out a sigh, he unrolled it and dipped the quill back into the inkwell.
Rarity watched him pause for a second as he looked down at the piece of paper.
My Dearest, Spikey,
I’ve always been here to talk to you, I know what it’s like to keep things inside for longer than they need to be. Please don’t suffer alone, let me suffer with you and together we can find closure.
Spike noticed his own writing above hers. “How?”
“You can thank Twilight for that.”
Spike spun around on the floor and came face to face with a voice he’d know anywhere. The quill landed on the floor as his jaw dropped open. “You came? Just like that?” Spike could feel tears working their way up in his eyes.
“Of course darling. I wasn’t about to say no.”
“Rarity…I was…” He glanced down at the paper when he felt her hoof touch his claw. His gaze lifted back up to her and he bit back the tears. “You came…”
“I had to. Darling, actions can say what words might not be able to do clearly.”
She didn’t even hesitate to come when Twilight… He noticed the look in those sapphire eyes that had held him since day one. He turned his claws over and held her hooves. His action had Rarity smiling. The letter in her voice echoed his mind again. Suffer with me. Closure. The tears started to run down his cheeks.
There you go Spikey. Rarity thought and could feel her own tears in her eyes. A huge weight dropped off her shoulders. “You’ve always been the one, I’d realized that a while ago. I just didn’t know how to go-” She watched his jaw drop open; heat rushed to her face. “Guess you know what that’s like.” She added with a grin.
Spike nodded returning a smile. “Guess I won’t need the papers anymore.”
She glanced around at all the crumbled-up ones. “Do they all say the same thing?”
Heat rushed to Spikes's face as he shook his head. “Um…no…they just say…” He swallowed a lump in his throat. “Three words.”
Rarity’s mouth dropped open at that. She used her magic to pick up the piece of paper she’d given him earlier being careful not to turn it around. Her gaze met his.
“I read that…” His voice trailed off as she turned around the piece of paper to let him read the backside. His jaw about hit the floor.
“Would these four words be the correct response-” She heard his back claws scrape against the marble floor as his arms came around her shoulder. He pulled her into a tight hug. Rarity returned the hug with her tears dripping onto his shoulder.
Twilight happened to poke her head in the room and caught the tender sight. Spike was looking in the direction of the doorway his ear frills had picked up on the sound of hooves coming closer. He mouthed two words to her.
Twilight nodded and walked back down the hallway with her head held high.
“I…don’t know what to say,” Spike said, it felt like a weight lifted off of his shoulder.
Rarity dabbed her eyes with her hoof. “I’d say we’ve already said it.”
Spike ran a claw down her cheek catching one of her tears. He felt closer to Rarity in this very moment than he’d ever felt before. He took her hoof in his claw and kissed the tip.
Rarity used her hoof to lift up his chin and leaned in to kiss him. They let out a collective sigh.
