Hearts and Hoofs, For most...

Hearts and Hoofs day, Firestorm hated this holiday, mainly because everypony thought Alicorns didn't have feelings, and we're just born to rule over everypony else.

Everywhere he looked he saw couples, it wasn't that he hated seeing it, but alicorns rarely got told a pony had feelings for them, and nowadays, it was a more popular holiday than ever. Ditzy and The Doctor, Rainbow and Soarin, Spike and Rarity, Cherilee and Pearly Whites, Fluttershy and Big Macintosh, the list went on, Firestorm was the only pony in Ponyville who didn't have a special Somepony, he even had a box of chocolates to give to somepony, but was too nervous, so he just sat down at a table in sugarcube corner, and pinkie brought out one of his patented cupcakes, that he helped make, 'Sweet and Stormy'. He had just taken a bite out of it as twilight came to sit with him

"Hey what's up Storm?"

"It's hearts and hoofs day again Twi..."

"So what's up?"

"I can't seem to find the courage to ask somepony to be my special somepony"

"Do you wanna tell me about them?"

"Well she's smart, attractive, and knows a lot about a lot of things"

"Well she's a very lucky pony"

"I was planning to give her this box of chocolates" He held up a heart-shaped box wrapped up with a red bow.

"Don't worry Stormy, she's probably as nervous as you are"

"Do you think she'd be nervous if I just told her straight up?"

"I don't think she would, she'd be pleasantly surprised, I think"

"Okay, Twilight, Do you want to be my special somepony?"

"Of course I would storm!" And she promptly pulled him into a hug, he relaxed his head into her shoulder, and they looked into each others eyes.

"Um, wow, you took it well" he said as he smiled nervously.

"Firestorm, am I your first special somepony?"

"Um... Yes"

"Have you ever had a marefriend?"

"Once, but It didn't really kick off well, that was before hearts and hooves was a big holiday"

"Come on! I'll show you how we celebrate nowadays" she took his wing, and dragged him out of sugarcube corner, quickly snatched up the box as he went out the door.

Later that night...

"That was a wonderful hearts and hoofs day Twi, thanks" and he kissed her on the cheek, and began walking back to inferno mansion when twilight took his hoof.

"You missed..." she said, as she pulled him into a kiss, her lips were warm and gentle, he felt a large rush of adrenaline shoot through his body as they stood there, eyes closed, illuminated by Luna's moonlight, kissing his special somepony. As he pulled away he rested his head on hers, and he whispered.

"I love you Twilight"

"I love you too Firestorm"

And that was how Twi and Firestorm got together, before Purity's Lost
