What's Wrong?
Prince Leviathan kissed her cheek softly, nuzzling the princess, cradling her head beneath his as they stood silently, pressed firmly against one another. He could feel her breathing against him, the rising and falling of her center. The princess seemed distant, unresponsive to his advances. He looked at her, yet there was no response. They had ben together the every night during previous week, and now were relaxing once more during their off time in his dark chamber.
She looked intentionally forward, incapable of looking up at him. Something inside of Princess Luna told her not to move, that her stillness would sooth him. This was untrue, as her lack of loving cooperation only stirred worry in the prince laying beside her. "Luna?" She swallowed hard, knowing she'd done nothing but worsen her fears of being caught. "Luna, what's going on? You're acting strangely." He nuzzled against her again, a signal to his worry.
Luna pulled away, shaking her head and frowning. "I need to go, I shouldn't... I need time to think." She took several more steps back, looking behind her periodically to ensure there was nothing for her to trip over in his dark chamber. "Um, I'm sorry, Levi. I really need to get out of here." She looked from the prince to the door, planning her exit.
"Why?" Levi stepped closer to her, as if pulled by some force. He looked offended, his eyebrows scrunched, red eyes screaming for an explanation.
She retreated further, unable to answer him. "I just don't want to see you right now, I've gotta go." Princess Luna ran away, rushing to the door and shakily trying to get it open. She stepped out into the long stone hall, walking in the direction of the stairs.
Levi chased her out of the room, watching as she speedily darted away. "What did I do? If you want me to back off, just say so!" His mouth hung open in awe, watching the mare he'd revealed his inner feelings to trot away from him without explanation.
She stopped, letting him approach her. Luna pressed her back against the wall, shying away as his hoof tried to touch her chin. The stallion before her was attempting to provide comfort, but Luna didn't want any. "I... I'm sorry." She turned away from him again, this time, running.
"Luna... Luna!" Prince Leviathan chased the night pony down the hall, floating on his wings to speed up. Just as he was about to catch her, the princess ran through a beam of light, projecting through a crack in a window that allowed just enough light in to block the hall off with a shining white ring. "Luna!" He stopped, unable to pass the light, unwilling to be burned.
She continued to run, looking back occasionally. The princess never stopped, she ran up the spiraling stairs until she was gone, back in the castle and away from the screaming stallion she'd abandoned in the dark. Luna wanted to cry, but she held herself together for the time being.
Come night, Princess Luna's mind was far away from Prince Leviathan. She was glad that the moon was out, glowing and radiant. She hadn't slept during the day as she normally did due to her worrying, so Princess Luna laid down in her bed for a few moments, resting her eyes.
She was on her back, her hooves running against the fabric of her blankets. The cool night air came in through the open doors to her balcony. Then, a sudden, swift, gust of wind startled her back up.
Princess Luna lifted her sheet to cover her body, watching as a spinning tornado of thick black air condensed into a tall and large night pony. She shuttered, knowing Prince Leviathan was before her not for reasons of forgiveness and tranquility.
The turbid spinning stopped, revealing the massive stallion and his large grey wings, outspread threateningly. He lunged forward, jumping into Princess Luna's bed and straddling her petite body. "What's your problem?" He was shouting, clearly upset after being left alone for many hours, thinking over what happened.
"What?" Princess Luna tried for a moment to be stupid, but she knew he wouldn't fall for something so simple and underdone. "Oh! Levi, I was just..." He lifted his hoof, preventing her from speaking. She could have continued, but being her age, Princess Luna knew to be silent when a stallion of stature wished to speak.
"You'd better tell me why you stormed off earlier, I want to know, right now." His sharp red eyes carved into her skin like daggers, forcing her to look at him.
"It's... personal." She smiled up at him, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment. She hoped her plea for privacy would be sufficient, even if in return she had to provide him with kisses and hugs out of bad faith.
She wanted a look of acceptance and relief, but instead, the stallion's look of disgust grew worse. "What's that supposed to mean?"
His anger was beginning to leach over to the princess, as she too was beginning to feel annoyed with his persistence and inability to grant her privacy. "I just don't want to tell you yet!" She was huffing heavily out her nose, wanting to walk away but unable to due tp his dominant position. She looked away from him, pressing her head into the pillow, looking to her left and focusing on the wall.
"Oh, so I'm good enough to screw, but you can't trust me? What kind of sick logic is that?"
Princess Luna's heart dropped. She had not considered that he may feel untrusted. Luna looked up at him, seeing the anger melt off of his face and into a level of sadness she hadn't seen in a very long time. "Levi, don't yell at me..." She spoke softly, pressing her hooves against his chest, wanting to touch him.
He quickly resumed his guarded look, shaking his head from side to side. "I'll speak as lousy as I want dammit! I feel useless, and you don't feel comfortable enough to talk to me." He stepped off of her, flying over to the small bar in her room, using the red glow of his horn to poor himself a drink. He felt ashamed, desperate to cool off.
"I do feel comfortable with you!" Princess Luna rolled onto her side, watching as he sipped his drink. He slammed it down, biting his lip and thinking.
Prince Leviathan sighed, staring at her with a look she didn't understand. "If you don't tell me, I'll force my way into your mind and I'll see exactly what it is." His face was straight, his strength and ability to make good on the threat all too true.
"You wouldn't dare."
"If you don't want me to enter your mind, than tell me."
"Levi..."
"TELL ME!" He screamed, cracking the glass he had been drinking from. The cool, clear, liquid dripped down onto the bureau, streaming toward the floor. Luna hid beneath her sheets, covering her entire body.
She shook her head, unwilling to share with her lover. She knew his reaction would be a poor one.
Prince Leviathan flew across the room, standing on top of the princess and holding her down. She tried to push him off of her, but the resistance was useless. He was careful to hold her head in place, lightly pressing his horn against her chest.
INSIDE OF LUNA'S MIND
Princess Luna is lying in her bed, looking to the door in happy wait. She's large, much larger then she'd ever been in her long life. She's pregnant. Prince Leviathan enters, smiling at her with a look of pure happiness on his face. He kisses her cheek playfully, lightly rubbing his hoof against her stomach as they nuzzle and hug atop her bed.
OUTSIDE OF LUNA'S MIND
The prince ejected himself from her thoughts, completely shocked and overwhelmed with emotions he didn't have time to process. Luna unthinkingly thrust her horn to his chest, accidentally doing to him what he had just done to her.
INSIDE OF LEVI'S MIND
Prince Leviathan was outside, standing in a park, sunlight bouncing off his coat merrily. He was beside a swing set, happily pushing a foal back and forth on the swing, smiling widely. Luna had never seen him smile. Everything felt warm and bright, overwhelmingly happy. Then it was night time, he entered Luna's bed chamber, immediately perking up with unfounded energy and kissing her lightly before crawling into bed with her, the princess snuggling up against him as they fell asleep.
OUTSIDE OF LEVI'S MIND
Luna was tore from his thoughts, quickly returned to reality. He looked scared, breathing softly and out of his open mouth. "How..." His look was that of a captured mouse, scared.
"Levi, I wanted to tell you." She shoved his chest with both of her hooves, forcing him back.
"You had no right to do that to me..." He shook his head, upset that he had been so cruel to her when she was simply afraid to tell him that she was pregnant, and that she had seen how emotional he truly was.
Princess Luna considered fighting him over why she had every right to enter his mind, but she knew exactly what he deserved to hear, she knew exactly what needed to be said. Princess Luna smiled, reaching out and taking his hoof. "Do you really love me?"
There was a silence, a silence that could fill libraries and volumes and pages with long and complicated sentences that meander like bayous. "I love you more than life itself, you give me purpose, Luna." She could feel her heart soar, her hooves trembling as she melted into his soft embrace. "So, you're pregnant?" He pressed his forehead against hers, moving to her side instead of far away at the other side of the room.
Princess Luna frowned, nodding as her cheeks pulled red. "Yeah, I just didn't know what to say." She held his hoof with hers, looking into his eyes, in love with the burning passion she saw in him, the never ending and unconditional love the the truly had pent up in his heart.
"Now I know, I'm sorry I... you know." He swallowed hard, kissing the top of her hoof before resting it on the top if his chest, over his heart.
"Do you really think like that? You've made me so, so, happy already, I've never felt so needed and respected and wanted and... just plain important."
"What you saw, was a fantasy of mine, you saw exactly what I want with no filters. I'm a lot less intimidating when you get inside my head like that." He kissed her nose, softly rubbing her coat and twisting her mane around his free hoof.
"It's alright, Levi. You're cute when you're soft." She kissed his cheek, and despite his unchanging expression, she knew he liked that.
Prince Leviathan looked down to her stomach, chuckling sarcastically and thinking. "You're going to get so fat..."
"Excuse me?" Luna's voice was high pitched and upset. Although, she was smiling and truly happy.
"I'm just thinking about it, you're so small, your waist... where will our foal grow?"
"I don't know, right here, I guess." Luna let him place his hoof on her stomach. He closed his eyes, picturing the future. His life had been permanently altered, and the prince couldn't have been happier.
He smiled at her, his dark cheeks reddening as he kissed her neck softly. "We're gonna be a family." He laughed, kissing her neck some more without outing why pressure on her body.
She smirked as well, sitting up as he caressed her ears sweetly. "I've never seen you smile, Levi."
"Get used to it, you're the moon to my sky and you make me happy." Luna giggled madly, kissing him again.
