Love of a Changeling
...
There was a soft nudging at her side, and the purple mare immediately awoke with a start.
Breathing in hard, shaky gasps, she turned toward the figure beside her. In the darkened room, all she could see were his electric blue eyes that seemed to illuminate in the darkness. Though he was a copy of thousands of others like him, there was one thing about him that made him unique, only one thing that made him stand out amount the other changelings.
His eyes.
They were kind and caring, but only when he was with her, guarding her, protecting her from the other changelings. Screwball never thought a changeling could even show love, but this unknown, unnamed changeling whom had found his way into her innocent heart caused her to think otherwise. He was special, and he loved her despite the fact he wasn't allowed to love. He was supposed to feed on her love, and in a way he was, except it was for a different purpose than what Queen Chrysalis would have wanted.
She calmed herself after a few moments, her breathing returning to it's normal, steady pace. "...Oh..." she blinked in the darkness, and felt the warm liquid running down her cheeks. She glanced back up at his worried eyes. "...I... I was just thinking about my dad," she reassured him. "That's all."
He didn't respond. He never did, but his eyes always seemed to speak for him, going from worried to sympathetic by the tone in her voice.
She sighed, lowering her head in shame. "...I'm sorry... I just... I miss him a lot." She closed her eyes, a few more tears trailing down her cheeks.
He brought one hoof under her chin and lifted her head up toward him. She sniffled, slowly opening her tear-filled eyes, staring up into his electric blue ones. Though a few stray tears continued to fall freely from her eyes, she couldn't help the warm blush forming on her cheeks from his comforting gesture, and the small, reassuring smile that was clearly visible on his face.
There was a few moments of silence between the two, before Screwball came forward, pressing herself against his body, nuzzling him with her snout. The changeling gladly returned the gesture. "Thank you," she said quietly, a soft sigh of content escaping her from the warmth of his body against her's. She closed her eyes, a light smile forming on her face.
Thank you so much...
A/N: After seeing a really cute picture of Screwball and Changeling by Muffinsforever on DeviantArt (which is also the story cover), I was inspired to write this drabble. It's short, crappy in my opinion, but all-around worth it. I might do another one for Screwball and the unnamed Changeling, only with a bit more mature themes (no, not clop-y, but there's some mature-ish themes but I don't want to give away the big idea). This is AU, and honestly, however Screwball even ended up with a changeling is totally up to you. Don't ask me. XD that's why is AU.
So... Yup.
I doubt Discord would be too happy knowing his daughter was in love with one of Chrysalis' changelings. XD I could just see his reaction now...
Lol, please review if you liked it! I'll definitely write more for these two, hopefully soon! :)
