A Gift
My hand, concealed within my left pocket gripped at the little box contained inside with a gentle tightness as I sat down on the couch, the room dimly lit and the TV off. Nightmare Rarity and I had spent much of the day together, in a hour or two we'd be heading out to enjoy a nice walk around town, see the decorations; perhaps make a few purchases here and there. I heard her clear her throat to snap me back into the present and saw a piece of candy corn hovering up to my lips.
"Oh right," I said mostly to myself before eating it, the bag of said candy corn sat between us as she cuddled up next me. Forelegs resting across my lap as she smiled with a somewhat knowing sweetness.
"Something on your mind?" She asked before eating another piece of candy corn herself, my hand felt the box in my pocket once more, and I briefly thought I should've kept it my right as she was sitting to my left. I managed to keep my face straight though I still felt the tug of a smile at the corners of my lips.
"No, just happy the holiday is here, been waiting all year after all," I replied with a smile. Nightmare Rarity nodded, still fixing me with a knowing stare.
"Mmhm, I'd be more inclined to believe that if your hand wasn't fidgeting with something in your pocket," she replied, also with a smile. And batted her beautiful, long eyelashes playfully at me. Her long horn lit up again as she levitated another piece of candy corn up (her favorite kind of candy) and proceeded to eat it.
"You got me," I said, suppressing a slight chuckle, "I was debating whether I should give it to you now or outside...but I think now is best."
"You have a gift for me?" Nightmare asked, magically tying the bag of sweet tasting candy shut and quietly placing it on the table.
"Yeah," I nodded, my voice suddenly becoming quiet. "I had to," Nightmare Rarity pulled away somewhat to give me space as I pulled the box out of my pocket, keeping my hand over it to conceal it properly. "Nightmare...this has been the happiest year of my life so far, and I don't think anything I could do could thank you for that...but I had to get you something."
I turned my hand over and revealed the little box over, her sapphire eyes widened ever so slightly and small gasp escaped her. Her horn glowed once more as the little box was levitated up to her, and slowly, very slowly was opened to reveal its contents. The shock was evident on her face as she looked at the necklace, an elegant silver chain that glinted in the dim light...and the sapphire. Perfect in every way, hung from it, styled in the unique image of her cutie mark. Resembling a combination of a diamond and twinkling star. Then her eyes shifted to the little note that had accompanied it. Obviously written by me.
"To my love, the one who have me everything."
"I know you already have so many jewels, but-," I was silence by a loving, passionate kiss that pinned me to the couch, one that I did not hesitate to return. My arms enclosing around her back, the familiar, soft black fur leaving a tingling sensation on my arms as I held her. The sweet taste of candy corn lingering between us.
When she finally broke the kiss I gasp slightly, being able to fully take air into my lungs once more, a light smile fluttering onto my face. "I guess you like it?"
"'Like it?'" Nightmare Rarity repeated playfully, "I adore it. Michael...this must've cost you a small fortune!" She exclaimed, observing the gift again, the sapphire gleamed magnificently.
"I saved up the who year for something special, and of course personalization. You deserved something like this...for everything."
She looked down at me with a tender smile, a hoof caressing my jawline lovingly. Nightmare climbed off me and gave me an enticing look before asking, "Will you do the honors?"
"Of course," I replied, allowing her to shift around so her back faced me. I gently took the necklace in my hand and with my other brushed her flowing mane to one side, enjoying the exquisitely soft feeling, carefully I opened the necklace and slowly brought it around her neck; closing it once again. I could tell she was looking at it, touched that I worked so long to get her something like this. I leaned in and wrapped my arms around her shoulders, placing a kiss on the back of her neck.
"Happy Nightmare Night."
