Rulers of the Night: Chapter Five

Time for another chapter! YAY! I am gonna shoot for 1,000 this time. ;) Wish me luck….it will probably be too late for that but…do it anyway! Hehehe. :D :D :D Also…I don't know if the email notice showed up for the last chapter so if you want to read that one if you haven't, I would suggest it. You might miss something. Okay let's go now. ;)

… … … … … …

Leans Flair was trying to walk away from the castle, however he felt the need to stay where he was. He couldn't really move from there anyway. Whenever he tried going past the gardens and back to the city, he would not be able to move in that direction anymore. He decided to sneak around the back.

He flew just high enough to see the rooms of the castle. He then saw Luna's room. He was expecting her to be asleep; however she was certainly wide awake. He thought this to be strange so he peeked inside her room, knowing it was wrong though he really wasn't controlling himself anymore. Even if he would have tried not to do this, this feeling was not letting him control his body anymore.

He looked inside and saw that Princess Luna was pacing back and forth. She looked very worrisome. He wondered what was troubling her. He gulped but decided to be brave and do something he never thought he would do.

"Princess Lu-Luna?" Leans flair said from outside the window. He then knocked on the window and repeated himself. Luna noticed the small and quiet knock and looked to her window. She saw it to be Leans Flair and she smiled but then remembered why she had been pacing and why she was worried. She gasped and wiped the smile off her face. She then ran to her window and opened it slowly.

"Leans Flair…what are you doing here?" Luna asked. Leans Flair frowned and Luna noticed this. "O-Oh no, I didn't mean it like that dear child. I just am asking because…" Luna looked from side to side to check if the coast was clear. "Well…it's not safe here right now."

Leans Flair looked at Luna skeptically. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"I mean…I think some ponies are getting suspicious of me and….I think they might be trying to follow me when I go to the Night Village I took you to last night. The guards have been so cross with me lately…at least my sister's guards anyway. Speaking of my sister, she hardly ever talks to me lately and I just do not understand why. I think it has to do with Nightmare Night coming; however…we have already had plenty of those since I've been back from my banishment. I just do not understand why they would be scared or upset with me. I have been trying to do better at my royal duties and have been being helpful to my subjects. I visit their dreams in hope to help them and-"Luna stopped midsentence. She forgot that he had figured out that it was really her in his dream last night and not just his imagination.

"Yeah…I know you do," Leans Flair said with what was an unrecognizable tone in his voice. She couldn't tell if he was annoyed, angry, hurt, or confused.

"Yes…so sorry about that dear child, I will never do that again unless it is alright with you. Please can you possibly forgive me?" Luna asked.

"Of course I forgive you…I wasn't mad anyway. Just please don't do it again and it's all good then," Leans Flair said with a wink. Luna giggled. She covered her mouth with her hoof in embarrassment because she kept laughing for quite some time.

Leans Flair tilted his head. "I didn't know I was so funny," he said with a chuckle.

Luna blushed in embarrassment.

"Well…I don't know…maybe it's that cute accent of yours that makes it so funny and cute," Luna said. Leans Flair and Luna both blushed simultaneously. Luna smiled in a shy way. "Umm…just forget I said that…"

"Why…I wouldn't want to forget that, it was cute princess," Leans Flair said, avoiding eye contact. He was blushing redder than a Christmas ornament and his face was radiating heat like crazy. He smiled and cleared his throat. "Okay…I'll forget what you said if you forget what I said."

Luna winked and smiled.

"Already forgotten dear subject," Luna stated.

"Good…." Leans said without looking at the princess directly.

"Yes…very good…now perhaps you should be going…I will have to figure out what to do in this situation myself. I'm sorry that you cannot stay longer. Maybe another day you could stop by and make conversation with me?" Luna asked.

"I would love to."

"How wonderful!" Luna blushed from her over excitement. "I mean….very good. Now, shall you be on your way?"

"I think that would be best however…I can't leave…my body keeps telling me that I should stay here….close to you it seems," Leans Flair said blushing.

"Hmm…strange…no child of the night has ever been pulled closed to me…they only felt as if they were being called by my voice and to a stronger degree, my presence, however never felt the need to be near me…" Luna said, rubbing her chin with her hoof in thought of why this would be. She then had an idea but didn't want to say it out loud.

"I have no idea why-"Leans was cut off by Luna putting a hoof on his mouth.

"I may have an idea that will help you to go home and rest well until we meet again."

"Well…ummm…what is it Princess Luna?" Leans Flair asked curiously.

"This…" Luna said as she took a deep breath and leaned in suddenly, surprising Leans Flair with her lips on his. He was surprised at first but it certainly did not take him long to reciprocate to this. He felt such peace in the way she kissed deeply and passionately.

She pulled away after a few seconds and Leans still had his eyes closed, lips still pursed. He then opened them and cleared his throat. Luna giggled at this. She really loved how cute he got when things like this happened. He still kept his cool however, which was also cute to her.

"Well…that was very nice…but why do you think that would help?" Leans asked.

"I will tell you some other day but for now…you must go. I think you'll be able to now my subject."

"Alright princess…thank you again for the…kiss," Leans Flair said with rosy cheeks. Luna smiled and kissed him on the cheek to satisfy herself more than him this time. She giggled as she closed the window slowly and waved her hoof as she walked back to her bed.

Leans Flair smiled a genuine smile that he would never have thought he could smile. He felt such bliss and he thought he knew the reason she had kissed him. She was a very smart princess.

DAWWWWWWWWWWWWW! The fluff….I hope the silly is happy I am doing this for him….though I enjoy it all the time! Hehehe. He's my best friend and it makes me happy when he is happy. ;) He's the best silly ever! Hehehe. Okay….next chapter to be out soon! :D :D
