Season
The snow fell silently outside, save for the occasional gust of frozen wind that sent the little white flakes flying wildly in every which direction. The light inside the house stemming only from the strung up Christmas lights. Red, green, white and blue. It all shone wonderfully, casting soft shadows on the floors and walls in the hue of the lights themselves. It was quiet inside, peacefully so. She and I sat on the couch, close together, my hands feeling a bit cold as I slipped them under the soft green blanket. I felt a hoof brush across my hand gently and she rested her chin on my shoulder.
"I can hardly believe it's tomorrow," I said with a light smile, my head pressed against the cushions of the couch. "Feels like this year has gone by so very quickly," my fascination with the progression of time leaking into my voice somewhat as my right hand he;d her hoof beneath the warmth of the blanket. A clock ticked away in the background.
"Hm, has it been a memorable year?"
"For the most part, yes," I replied, we both knew the year hadn't been without ups and downs, but it had still been a good one. "Funny really, until you came into my life my years were forgetful overall," I hand held her black hoof a bit tighter.
"I swear...magic happens when you're around."
I heard her chuckle affectionately, foreleg wrapping around my waist and pulling me to her in a little hug.
"As always you demonstrate your fine way with words, I would be lying if I said you didn't make my year wonderful as well," she gave my cheek a light kiss, my eyes shifting fully to her. Illuminated by the multicolored Christmas lights. I noted they seemed to make her glowing, sapphire eyes all the more radiant as they met mine. Nightmare Rarity, this amazing, beautiful mare who had given me so much in the past year, verging on two in a matter of months now. She raised a hoof from the blanket and touched my cheek, her expression soft and loving and a wonderful smiled graced her soft and familiar lips.
"It's gone by so fast though," I said again, running a hand down her foreleg and over her hoof. "But I have so many memories."
"As do I, and I think that's rewarding in and of itself," she spoke in a satisfied voice, her eyes shifting towards the big Christmas tree. The lingering scent of pine was subtle, but ever so presence. Gifts neatly lining the bottom. "And there's more to come, tomorrow for insistence."
I nodded, smiling. "Like the year after this one. And after that, and after that, and afte-," she teasingly placed a hoof over my lips causing me to laugh.
"I think I get the general idea Michael," but she was chuckling to, I could feel her laughter lightly shaking her body against mine. Nightmare Rarity's familiar but always welcomed warmth and soft caress of her beautiful black fur. I quickly kissed her cheek before speaking again.
"Should we go to bed now?"
"We could."
"Or we could just stay up all night until Christmas morning, open the gifts, then pass out?" I suggested with a big, amused smile.
She placed her hooves on my shoulders and eased me down onto the pillows of the couch, my head slowly sinking into them.
"Or we could just sleep right here," her regal horn lit up a sparkling sapphire color, somewhere a tiny click could be heard and the lights switched off. Bathing us in shadows, her eyes glowing all the brighter. A sight that never ceased to make me think about how beautiful they are. Outline by her exquisite eyelashes.
"I like that," I said, easing myself down further seconds before we shared a quick, but meaningful kiss.
"Merry Christmas Nightmare Rarity."
"I'll see you when I wake up, my dear. Sweet dreams," her voice sounded like a pure melody with those words as I shut my eyes.
"I love you."
"And I love you, Michael."
We slept peacefully in each other's grasp, her head resting comfortable on her chest, my arms around. Silence and darkness around us, soft thoughts in our heads and happiness in our hearts.
