POV TWILIGHT

I've never felt so light in my entire life. I said everything that had been in my head for weeks, apart from how to take a weight off my shoulders. Even better, Sunset felt the same as me.

We spent the afternoon enjoying only each other's company. We exchanged caresses and kisses, talked, laughed... No problem came to my mind, it was just me and her, her and me.

We were lying on the surface of the big stone. Sunset left one arm behind his head to support himself, the other used to caress my hair. I hugged her sideways with my face sunk in the curve of her neck.

- I was thinking - said Sunset, calling my attention - are we going to talk about it to the girls?

- Specifically from what? - I asked.

- That we are giving us both a chance - he clarified.

- Honestly, I thought you had already told them everything - smile - I even thought you wouldn't need to tell Pinkie Pie, since she would have heard from you.

- Well, I must have freaked out and asked them for advice after our kiss yesterday - Sunset admitted, embarrassed.

- All right, I told Rarity, and I would have told Fluttershy if she was together on the call - I gave a calm smile. I felt Sunset's body relax.

- What do you think about us counting together? - he suggested - we could call them all to go out as a group.

- Considering that Applejack and Rarity are already rolling, I think they will like the idea - I laughed.

- All right, then I create the group then and we solve it - he said.

- Why don't you send it now? - I asked - wouldn't it be better to solve everything now, so that they could organize themselves?

- Maybe it is - he shrugged - but for now, I just want to enjoy a little time with you.

Sunset squeezed me a little more against his body and I did the same, while sinking my face even deeper into the curve of his neck.

- You're corrupting me, I was supposed to be planning this junction at this very moment - I laughed. I heard Sunset laugh too.

- I'm glad to know that I have this effect on you - he joked.

I raised my face, being able to watch her from above. The sun cast my shadow on it. I could notice his eyes making a little effort to see me, due to the sun's rays that were against his vision. I ran my hand over his face, caressing his cheeks with my thumb, and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips, pulling out a sigh. A fun smile appeared, soon after, on the redhead's face.

- Do you think planning is better than that? - mocked. His hands removed some strands of my hair that fell out and put it behind my ear.

- Beast - I smiled on the side - I don't have enough information to know that.

- Oh yeah? - He raised his eyebrow.

- Well - I passed my thumb gently through your lips - I think I'll need to collect more data.

- Can I offer myself as a guinea pig? - Sunset asked, with a snooded smile on his face.

- You don't even have to ask.

POV SUNSET

I felt relaxed, calm, as I had never felt before. My mind, for the first time ever, was finally in the right place. Being alone with Twilight aroused in me a completely different feeling, which I had not even experienced before. Embraced with the purple-haired girl, I felt purely at peace.

My thoughts were awakened by the vibration of my cell phone. I noticed Twilight raising her head slightly to see what the situation was about. I took my cell phone from my pants pocket and saw the notification on the screen: a reminder to give food to Ray.

- Ray? - Twilight asked as soon as she read what was on the screen.

- My pet lizard - I answered while keeping my cell phone in my pocket.

- Wow, I didn't expect this one - widened his eyes a little - I've never seen anyone have a pet lizard.

- Well, it's like having a dog - I shrugged - but it doesn't bark and shed hair.

- And does he always get stuck? - he asked. Twilight's interest in new things was really charming.

- He likes affection, so I let him stay with me on the couch while I watch something - I smiled on my side and ran my fingers over Twilight's shoulder, playing with her - it's nice to feel his icy paws going up on my arm.

- Sunset! - scolded, scratching his shoulder nervously - don't do that, it's agony.

- All right, sorry, I don't do it anymore - I laughed and kissed your cheek. Twilight blushed immediately.

- Still, I think you need to go feed him, since you put a reminder - he smiled on his side.

- Unfortunately Ray is a hungry, a legitimate bottomless pit, so I have to go feed him - I joked, pulling a laugh from Twilight.

- All right, then we spend more time together - she got rid of me and came down from the stone, extending her hand for me to accompany her.

We both held hands and went all the way of the trail side by side. Just before we left, in fact, for the park, I stopped in the middle of the way and looked at Twilight worried.

- What is it? - he asked - is everything okay?

- It's just that... - I hesitated a little - it's okay for me to go hand in hand, I have no one to hide it from, but is everything okay with you?

- Ah, true - he said with his head down - not that I think my family will see, but I prefer not to risk it.

- Sorry, this subject made you bad - I scratched the back of my neck. I knew how complicated that topic could be for some people.

- No, you didn't do anything wrong - Twilight held my two hands, with a smile on her face - I think it's adorable that you worry that much, really.

I raised my gaze, which previously focused on our intertwined hands, and saw Twilight's eyes calm and bright. I realized that your words were sincere. I took her two hands that held mine and gently placed a chaste kiss on them. Twilight returned the gesture with a charming smile and shook our hands more, before we had to let them go to get off the trail and go back to the park.

Some people walked quietly around the place and didn't even notice our presence. I accompanied Twilight to your house again. When we got to your house, we stop at a point where no window in the house could see us.

- When you get home, are you going to create our group and the girls? - he asked.

- Right after giving food to Ray - I answered and smiled - see you soon?

- See you soon - Twilight smiled and placed a quick kiss in the corner of my mouth, before turning and walking in a hurry to her house.
