Writings and Stories

[Kaltes-Herzeleid]

Most of you should recognize this thread too, for the first few days I'll sporadically repost some of my older writings from the previous forum, mostly stuff I think is my best or was well received and whatnot.


Walk Through The Park


Our steps were relatively quiet, although her hooves sounded much louder than they actually were on the concrete. It was night out, as it was really the only time we could go out, crickets chirping from some unseen area, a soft late summer breeze keeping us cool.

"I must confess your world's night is certainly beautiful," Nightmare Rarity spoke softy, her sapphire eyes glowing so luminously in the darkness. "Although," she continued with a playful haughtiness, "not as good as mine."

"Can't argue with you there," I replied, pulling her a bit closer to me, running my fingers across her soft black fur. "In Equestria I can actually see the stars."

We came to a simple wooden bench hidden away beneath the shadows the a towering tree, its branches swaying softly and invitingly as we sat down. Her forelegs on my lap, one of my hands holding a hoof. She drew her backlegs close to her body as I stroked her mane with loving care. A few tips of her long locks occasionally tickled my arm when the breeze hit us.

"Nightmare?"

"Hm?"

"Do you ever wish we could go out in public? In my world, I mean."

Nightmare Rarity looked at me with an unblinking stare as she considered my question.

"Not particularly, why do you ask?" A bit of concern laced her voice. She knew me well enough to know that there was often a deeper meaning to my seemingly big questions. It was something I loved the most about her.

"I pass by here a lot now...and I see people. People living their lives, couples spending time with each other. It was something I never thought much of, especially the couples."

Nightmare Rarity simply waited for me to continue.

"It wasn't something I truly understood. But now I do...and I can't share that with anyone."

Nightmare Rarity's right ear twitched once before answering. "Does that really matter though? We know of our love and our happiness together. Isn't that enough?"

"Yes, but at times I just wish I could...," I trailed off as I wasn't quite sure how to put my next thought into words.

"I wish I could show everyone the most beautiful thing in my life," I saw her smile slightly.

"Sometimes we can't show something like that," she leaned in and whispered, "but that doesn't make it any less true."

We simultaneously pulled each other into a close hug, her scent washing over me as I closed my eyes in a passionate bliss.

"I think we best be getting home now," she stated softy as she pulled away. She playfully flicked her tail under my chin, causing me to smile as I followed after her and began our walk home.

"I think we should come here more often," I said, pulling her close to me once more.

"There is something special about this place isn't there?" She replied.

I looked at her, "Yes, there is."
