Waking Moment
My eyelids fluttered open to see only the plain and unremarkable ceiling that hung far above my head. My head against a pillow and body resting comfortably and warmly on the familiar couch. A sigh escaping me when I tried to shift, but found I could not. Craning my head down to see, much to my surprise, Nightmare Moon sleeping partially on top of me. I hadn't even registered that I'd fallen asleep, let alone that she had apparently joined me.
Not that I objected.
She was unarmored, her body looking much more delicate without it, the blue mane adorning her head at rest, revealing it for the lush locks of hair it actually was. Several sparkling strands hanging over her beautiful face, her cheek resting lightly on my chest. I brought a hand to gently stroke her cheek, her black fur soft and warm to the touch, my fingertips lifting a few strands of her mane up, savoring the feeling for just a moment of two before allowing them to elegantly drop back down. Her ribs rising and falling with each relaxed breath.
It was a rare thing to see her like that, I was most likely the only one who ever had, but each time it was a moment I cherished.
Her teal eyes cracked open, looking directly at me in an instant, a small smile on her face now.
"Hello there."
"Hi," I replied in a quiet voice so as to not totally disrupt the peaceful atmosphere, "awake at last I see?"
"You're one to talk," she teased back, shifting somewhat to face me properly. Her forehooves resting neatly on my chest and her long backlegs tucked against her.
"How long have we been asleep?" I asked, although not particularly concerned with how long I actually had been.
"I'm not sure, but you looked so peaceful and I did not want to disturb you," she replied, brushing a few stray strands of hair out of her eye.
"Or perhaps you were just simply looking for an excuse to cuddle with me, hmm?" I asked amusedly, a hand running across her back slowly. Nightmare Moon raised a brow and her wings ruffled out a few seconds before returning to normal.
"Well someone thinks highly of himself," a mischievous glint in her eye as she replied, "but I just couldn't resist, could I?"
"Don't worry."
"About what?"
"I promise I won't tell anybody you're a cuddlebug."
Again she raised a brow, a hoof thoughtfully tapped my chest once as she deliberated a response in her quick mind. "You're lucky I like you," she chuckled, her head lowering to my shoulder in a resting position.
"Can we just stay here for a bit longer?" I asked.
"Mm, you read my mind."
I wasn't sure how long we laid there, enjoying the other's company, occasionally whispering words to one another; but it wasn't long until she was asleep once more. Her content, lovely face being the last thing my eyes saw until I too joined her in blissful sleep.
