Stopped

POV TWILIGHT

Sunset and I stop in front of a semi-open door. I tried to push forward, but immediately I felt something prevent the door from opening more. Sunset tried the same thing as me and we both concluded that some workaround should be done so that we could enter the room.

- What do you think? - Sunset asked, calling my attention.

- Maybe we should open just enough so that one can pass, then the other pulls and we can get in - I suggested. Sunset nodded, putting himself in front of the door and pushing it with his body.

- First the lady - joked, giving a smile on her side. I reciprocated the smile and took advantage of the door gap to enter the room.

I tried not to step on anything - no matter how much it was an impossible mission - and, with great difficulty, I found a point where I was sure I would not spoil anything. I pulled the door handle as much as I could, pushed some of the boxes that were blocking the door (which resulted in practically nothing) and waited for Sunset to be able to pass through the small space.

The redhead helped, pushing the door, and finally managed to get into the room. His hands groped the walls looking for support and, in a kind of clumsy way, Sunset managed to stand up, without breaking anything.

- My God, how can Pinkie get into this place? - I complained, taking a good look at the walls, looking for a switch.

- You know what Pinkie is like, she must even be happier with the mess - Sunset laughed weakly and shrugged - what are you looking for?

- Any kind of switch - I explained - it is not possible for us to find something without light.

- Honestly, I think some of the boxes ended up hiding anyone who had it - Sunset tried to move some boxes from the shelf next to him.

- I don't suppose you have a flashlight with you, right? - I asked.

- I could have, but I left my cell phone in the room - he raised his empty hands in front of me - don't worry, there's enough light to find the detective.

I looked around me, recognizing the perimeter. There was a small window, with a closed shutter, which emitted a little light from the back of the room. It was a considerably small space for the pile of objects that were there. Boxes, beach items, unused toys, and several other junk were scattered throughout the room, it was almost impossible to step there. There were two shelves, one next to the other, also full of objects.

- Where would I be if it were an investigation game? - I spoke to myself while observing the environment. Sunset raised an eyebrow.

- Are you sure this is the most effective way to find him? - he asked.

- I'm sure it's not, but it doesn't hurt to try - I shrugged and sighed - what do you think?

- Look on this shelf and I'll take a look at the other one - Sunset smiled gently.

- All right - I agreed.

I turned and rummaged through a large part of the things that were there. I found common things like electrical extensions, tools, fabrics, a box of colorful costumes (probably from Pinkie), including some house spiders that decided to make a web in those places. I frantically hit my hand when I accidentally ran my hand through one of the webs. Sunset first reacted worriedly, but soon let out a laugh.

- Aren't you going to tell me you're afraid of small spiders like these? - he joked, his hands landed on his waist.

- For your information - I semi-closed my eyes towards you - domestic spiders can be from small beings to colossal giants, and I don't like the idea of having their paws on my skin.

- All right, all right, I won't make fun of you - Sunset laughed - in case any fierce and colossal spider appears, I'll be here to protect you.

- Thank you, my savior - I joked - but help me here, I think I found it.

Sunset came slowly to me, being careful not to fall and drop the stacked boxes next to him. When she managed to cross the minefield of objects and reach me, I pointed to some flatter boxes that were on the top shelf. Sunset stretched his arm and, because he was a few centimeters taller than me, he managed to bring them closer to the edge. With great caution, we took the boxes together and brought them to the floor.

I coughed a little when Sunset removed the dust that was on top of them. There were three boxes, the one at the bottom clearly Monopoly, the one at the top Face-to-face and, finally, the one at the top, in which in large letters was written Detective.

- Hallelujah - Sunset closed his eyes and threw his hands up.

- I thought we would never find this - I sighed and stacked the three boxes again.

- Hey - Sunset called - isn't it a spider on your shoulder?

I taped my shoulder repeatedly at the same time as I turned my head sharply to confirm if there was any kind of arachnid there. If I had, I would be dead, for sure, but I knew there wasn't when Sunset burst into laughter.

- You were supposed to protect me from spiders and not play with me - I cursed looking at my shoulder again, just in case.

- I'm sorry I couldn't stand it - she dried a tear from the corner of your eye.

- Beast - smiles sideways, shaking my head in denial.

Sunset approached me, being only a few centimeters away. There was a smile on his face, I couldn't say what kind.

- What am I? - he asked, in a fun way.

- You? - I questioned, Sunset confirmed with his head - Beast.

Sunset opened his smile more. Her hand went through my hair and she put them behind my ear. His eyes ran through my face, watching every part of it, I felt my cheeks blush with the act.

- Do you like it when I call you that? - my question made her fix her gaze on mine - as a beast?

- I like it - he said, simple.

- Why? - I was intrigued. My arms took place at your waist.

- I have no idea - Sunset laughed weakly.

- But I want to understand why - I rolled my eyes briefly.

- And do we need to understand everything?

Sunset brought his face closer to mine, our breaths began to mix. His other hand, which was free, landed on my cheek, his two hands held my face.

Without any more words, I put our lips together. I caressed your back during the kiss. Sunset, in a gentle way, moved her thumb, caressing my cheek. His body got closer and, suddenly, we heard a loud noise. As soon as we separated, we could see one of the fallen boxes.

- Ugh, shit - Sunset sighed loudly - shall we fix it?

- I have the impression that it will only make the situation worse - I was sincere.

- Darlings? Is everything okay there?

Sunset and I looked at each other right away, both with slightly wide eyes. The door was pushed, but not completely, due to the agglomeration of boxes.

- Darlings? - asked the muffled voice, which I recognized to be Rarity - we heard a noise.

- It's okay, it was just a box that fell - I exclaimed, Sunset laughed muffled.

- We found the game - Sunset announced - keeps pushing the door there for us to pass.

Rarity pushed the door as much as she could. Sunset and I took the three boxes - none of us wanted to go through that room again - and went through the door gap. Rarity, after seeing that we had already left, unhooked herself from the door.

- Wow, this room must be terrible - she widened her eyes - no wonder one of the boxes ended up falling, what a mess!

- Yeah, mess, exactly, what madness isn't it? - Sunset tried to disguise it, nervous.

- Come dear ones, the time will finally come to play - Rarity came out ahead, excited.

As Rarity was moving away, I gave a gentle shadow on the side in Sunset and blinked. We exchanged complicit looks, of which Rarity had no idea.
