Late Night Rendezvous

That I was out this late was not entirely unusual. I had a tendency to be up late at night, so of course that would raise the chances that I would step outside every now and then. Then again, this is Ponyville. Small towns tended not to operate the late hours that cities do.

I quietly made my way towards the School of Friendship. I had somebuggy I wanted to see.

The school looked... Peaceful. Quiet. Though I suppose it makes sense, the students would be getting their rest for the next day. However, there was one window with a gentle light peeking out of the window.

Just like her to be up so late. Studying, no doubt.

I tested my hoof on the wall before I began climbing upwards, taking care to not drop my package. Carefully, I made my way to the lit window, then gave it a gentle rap.

A few seconds wait, then the door opened, and my love was smiling down at me.

“Obsi! Why are you here so late at night?”

Ocellus was the cutest and most adorable and one of the three most beautiful beings I had ever lied my eyes upon. Climbing in through the window, I couldn't help bug give the lil' buggy a kiss. “He wanted to see his mommy.” I said after, and my package chittered.

Ostia, our son, our nymph. Black in color with his mother's eyes. His coloration was very similar to a pre-enlightenment Changeling, but without the holes or hostility. He was a cute bug.

The cute bug hugged his mommy's face, and she giggled. Oh, such a beautiful, adorable laugh. I smiled.

“Hi, little guy! Mommy's here.” Ocellus said softly, gently petting our son as he fed on love. I nuzzled my favorite bookbug. “You're up late, too. Studying.”

She blushed. Oh, I could just pick her up and snuggle her and kiss her!

“There's a test tomorrow, I want to make sure I'm prepared.”

“You always ace the tests.” I replied.

“Because I study.”

“Because you're a smartie.”

Ostia yawned, and Ocellus followed suit.

“I think you should turn in for the night.” I said to Ocellus. “...Unless you want to go to one of the classes and...” I left it unsaid, but my wink made it obvious. Oh, I just love making her blush!

“I- I don't want to get in trouble.”

“We won't get caught. Besides, the risk is part of the fun.”

“I-”

“I'm kidding.” I said, giving her mane-fin a ruffle. “Mostly. But for now, we can cuddle. You won't do well on the test if you sleep through it.”

“Yeah, you-” She yawned, “You're right.”

We climbed onto the bed. It was a tight fit for the three of us, but we were comfortable.

“What about Maud and Tempest?” Ocellus asked.

“They know I'm here. They're fine.” I nuzzled her. “Tonight belongs to you.”

Ostia curled up and nuzzled into our embrace.

“To us.” She said with a smile.
