Seamus ran into Twilight's room, scaring her senseless as she read her favorite book. She looked at him form warm her bed, wondering what the young colt was up to. He teleported up to her with a pale blue flash and smiled; she knew right then, when he was looking up at her with huge purple eyes and his lip stuck out, that he was going to ask her permission to do something that would land her and him in a load trouble. He smiled up at her, widening his amethyst eyes and scuffing his hoof. Twilight looked down at him, unfazed by his antics, Spike acted like this when he wanted to do something she dissaproved of.
"What do you want?" She sighed
"Can I use your bathroom mirror?" He asked, still in the begging pose, swaying slightly form side to side.
"Why?" She asked, narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
"To… talk to my friend in the north." He smiled at her again, his brilliant white teeth glistening in the lamplight.
She sighed again and closed her book with a clearly audible snap. "You got into the forbidden section didn't you?"
His smile faded as he looked away and he tapped his hoof again. "Umm… yeah, sorry. I couldn't pass it up. I just really need to talk to this one pony. He's a close friend…" He muttered.
"Is this pony's name Sky?" She asked knowingly.
His mouth dropped open and he looked at her anxiously. Sweat beaded out on his forehead and his wingtips twitched, cold dread chilling him. "How'd you know?" He squeaked.
"That's not important, Sea, but I know you and Sky are very close friends and that you slept in the same bed on Sundays and that you and him wanted… well… a bit more."
His breathe came in short, fearful bursts and he was shivering even though it was rather warm in the room. He didn't know what to do or how to tell her about what the two had always wanted to have together, a relationship that was more than cuddling and the occasional kiss on the cheek.
"Did you tell anypony?" He blurted, unable to control himself in his desperate hysteria. "Please don't judge me! I can't help how I feel and gods please don't turn me into the guards!" He yelled in rapid succession, his eyes beginning to tear and his bottom lip quivering.
Twilight opened her mouth to speak, but he was so frantic and terrified that he interrupted her.
"Please, ponies like me don't work well with other ponies as it is! If everypony knew I'd-"
"Sea!" She yelled to stop him from panicking any more. "I won't tell, and there is no law against liking other colts here, Equestria has tons of colt-coddlers in some places."
"But…" He stuttered, still shivering and rocking to and fro on the tips of his hooves. "I like mares too…"
"That's okay, too, there are no laws that limit who a pony can or can't love. And I understand… I once liked a mare at your age and… she moved away before I could tell her how I felt. I never forgave myself and ever since I've stuck to what colts I could get. None worked out…" she sighed longingly, lost in her memories.
Seamus was dumbstruck as to why she, of all mares would have trouble finding any colt to take her. She read it in his eyes and answered him, pain and hurt showing in her voice.
"It's not that none ever like me, It's just that I never like them. They are all either shallow or full of themselves or just… ignorant! I can't stand them all, I wish that there were more colts like you, with all your mare-ish face and how your smart and eager to learn. You have the right heart and you have more love and empathy than most colts have in one hoof than most in their whole body! Most just care about my body and I hate them, they are so… typical! That should be the seventh thing on your list of things you look for in a pony!" She ranted, letting out years of pent-up anger.
"They can't just like me for my brains and my personality, every colt I've ever tried to be with has always only ever cared about getting between my legs and they are shallow, inconsiderate pigs that I can't stand! They never care about ME either, they only ever care about what they get out of it. They all look for the physical things, like money, one tried to get with me to get close to the princess, good thing she scared him away. I wish I could find a pony like you…"
He was flattered at her compliment and scuffed a hoof at how she revered him for his personality and not because he was an alicorn. He opened his mouth to ask her a quick question, but she covered his mouth with a gentle hoof.
"No, I won't ask you to be with me, you're promised to Sky and if that doesn't work… I'll tell you a secret." She leaned close, a sly grin on her face. "Fluttershy likes you a lot. I mean A LOT. She said she doesn't want to tell you and impose, but I thought you should know."
He nodded and shrugged. "I'm promised to Sky, and that's all I can say."
"Good, you're a pony of your word, and that means a lot in my books. All of them." She added jokingly, if only to lighten the mood.
He smiles and nods to show that he was grateful she held him in high esteem. He looked at her for another ten seconds, then he remembered why he had went into the room in the first place. He once again stuck out his bottom lip and mad his eyes widen into two huge amethyst orbs.
'Well… can I use your mirror?" He asks, looking up at her with huge sparkling purple eyes.
She nodded in agreement and he smiled ecstatically before disappearing in a flash of pale blue magic. She set her book aside and decided to follow him, he might need help, after all.
He re-appeared in the washroom a moment later, grabbing the book off the edge of the cold bathtub and flipping to his page. He read the spell aloud and followed the instructions to the letter, doing everything as the book said. He looked into the mirror and lit the room with a flash of magic, focusing and trying his best to pull off the extremely compicated spell. At the moment Twilight walked into the room and interrupted his focus. He cast her a annoyed look and resumed his work, lighting up the room again. He grated his teeth and a vein pulsed on his temple as he stared at the mirror intensely. Twilight saw him struggling with the spell and lent him a hoof, completing it with nearly no effort at all. He looked at her in wonder at how she could just perform it so easily when he had struggled so much. After all, he was a thousand times more powerful than her, being an alicorn.
He shrugged and looked at the mirror, which had gone completely opaque. He looked from her to the mirror, trying to anticipate what would happen. Maybe the spell would fail and all this wasn't worth it... maybe he would never see his partner again. As soon as the thought had formed in his head, the mirror became clear again and it was like a direct window into Seamus' old washroom. The young colt's face lit up and he gave an excited hop, beaming at Twilight. His wingtips twitched and his hoof tapped rapidly against the cold tile floor, he couldn't wait.
Twilight snored in her bathtub, having fallen asleep after the fourth hour of waiting for somepony ot appear in the mirror. Seamus stood in front of the looking-glass, devotedly staring into it with a nearly endless endurance of mind and body, his legs stock rigid and his eyes only moving to blink or to look at the occasional drifting dust mote. He looked over to see Twilight asleep in her porcelain bowl and smiled. It was kind of cute, actually, her sitting in the tub, snoring and a small amount of drool creeping out of the corner of her mouth onto the tub's cold floor. The room was rather unseasonably cold, as the door was closed and the lights were out as to look into the other room better. Seamus returned to his task, still grinning at the thought of Twilight snoring loudly behind him.
Just as Twilight was beginning to come to, a voice came from outside the door through the mirror. Twilight leapt up and stumbled over to the looking glass, blinking away sleep and listening intently. Seamus had his ear pressed to the glass and his eyes were lit with sparks of hope and determination. He recongnized the voice of Melody and his blood turned to ice, cold dread making all color drain from his lips.
"You know that my daughter won't be able save you forever... I know you loved the boy you filth! It was right there in your eyes every time you two ever looked at each other! I know it!"
Sky's voice was heard now, making Seamus grind his teeth and wish he had better hearing.
"I don't know what you're talking about! We were just friends!"
The door to the other washroom flew open and Sky flung down the flight of steps, his wings opening to slow his fall. He landed with amazing grace and agility, despite being pushed down the stairs. It was as if this had happened plenty of times before and Seamus knew for a fact that it had. Next they heard Melody screaming at him from the top of the landing.
"Whatever! Bathe and brush your mane, put on some cologne and meet me out here in an hour. I have a dinner to go to and I won't have my servant looking like street trash, even though he is." She spat and slammed the trap-door shut.
Sky sighed and went over to the sink, taking off his kerchief and laying it in a neat bundle by the towels. He went into the shower and turned on the faucet, stepping out to let it warm up. He went right over ot the sink and began to do something that puzzled Seamus. He knelt and opened a drawer, looking far into it to find what he had hidden there. He retrieved a single black feather, one of Seamus'. It was the feather he had accidentally pulled out one day while he had been grooming the other colt's starboard wing, the outermost of his plummels, in fact. Sky smiled lovingly and took a deep inhale, savoring the fading scent of his partner, warm cinnamon with the lingering smell of fresh roses. He ran the feather over his soft cheek, smiling and letting his wings unfold and his feathers twitch as he thought of his friend's wings running over him, lingering on his lips. He kissed the feather longlingly and put it back from where he had hidden it, a soft smile on his mare-ish face and a warm glow in his heart.
Seamus had tears in his eyes and he he couldn't stand to stay silent any longer than he needed to, so he looked at Twilight, who nodded.
"Sky. It's me, in the mirror, Seamus."
Sky whirled around and his eyes widened in shock. "Sea!" He yelled as he ran over to the looking glass and pressed his hoof to the barrier, the only thing keeping them apart. "Were you here the whole time?" He asked, a deep blush spreading across his cheeks.
"Well... yeah" Seamus said. "It's fine... I would too of it was you... is it true that you tried to... you know..."
Sky nodded and looked away. "I'm not proud of it, but when I heard that you were gone, I lost hope for awhile... Amethyst helped, but I found your journals and that's what's kept me going since then." He looked again through the mirror, deep into his parter's eyes, his love unstoppered by seeing the other colt. "I want to see you again Sea, face to face and kiss you, run my hooves through your mane and whisper into your ear that we'll never be apart again..." He sighed, tears forming in his navy eyes.
Seamus blushed and his eyes began to tear as well. "No day in my infinite lifetime will be complete without you, Sky. I promised you that the moment I was free I would help you and I will. I'm trying to find a way to convice the ponies here to send a rescue party to sneak you out. The best part is that us being together isn't illegal here in Equestria... once you're here we can have that night we always wanted... a long night with just me and you, on a cloud with candles, you, me and the stars for company, the moon shining on us as we finally get to kiss... I get to run my hooves over your hips as we-"
"Ehem." Twilight had to end this or she would end up getting far too aroused in front of them. "I'm here too."
Seamus smiled and his cheeks turned a deeper scarlet out of embarresment. "Sorry, I forgot you were there."
Sky turned to her and asked curiously. "Who are you?"
"I'm Twilight Sparkle and I put this whole enchanted mirror thing together. It wasn't hard really. Anyways, continue, but try to keep this PG-13 please?" She asked politelly.
Sky nodded and looked back at Seamus. "You mean it? You'll come for me and we can both get out of here?"
"I swear on my wings, Sky. Me and you here, in Equestria with a bottle of wine and whiskey with a basket of cinnamon rolls. I won't care if i takes me until the moment before the end of time to muster up the courage to, but you and me will escape that place, forever." He put his hoof on the barrier and Sky did the same, tears in their eyes and bottomless love in their hearts. "I found a way to remove that tattoo without you having to use magic."
Sky's eyes lit up and he put his forehead on the mirror, "How." He asked, his lips parting in a smile.
Seamus returned it and looked from Twilight to his partner. "Sky, don't you have to take a shower?"
Sky raised his eyebrows and looked from Twilight to the alicorn at what Seamus was suggesting. "there's a mirror in my shower, y'know...
The alicorn looked at the unicorn and asked. "Can I move your mirror and use your shower?"
She nodded and moved out of the way. Seamus teleported the mirror to a stand in front of the shower. She took that as her signal to leave. She did leave, but as she shut the door she pressed her ear to it to eavesdrop, given her nosy nature. 'It's my bathroom anyway' She reasoned. She heard faint whispers from inside, barely audible over the shower running.
"Please, Sky? We could just look at each other when we do..." She heard Seamus plead.
"No, I don't want to do it like that, it'll be face to face and we will actually be able to touch each other."
"But can't we just... maybe I could..."
"Sea, no. One day soon we will, but not now. I learned my lesson from last time and I want the first time to be special, not like this..."
Twilight's face burned hotly at the thought of continueing to listen to the rather personal, intimate conversation, but she couldn't stop, her ear was glued to the door and strange fascination drove her. As ashamed as she was to admit, the thought of the two in the shower together, their sleek bodies sliding over each other adn their lips connecting... turned her on...
Seamus sighed and nodded, seeing the wisdom in his partner's words. "Okay... I won't ask you again." Twilight groaned and mentally willed him to change his mind.
"Come on! Clop to each other!" The horny unicorn hissed impatiently.
"Good... you know I love you Sea. No matter what happens, I will always love you."
"No! Please! Celestia please clop! I'm dieing out here!" She growled.
"I love you too, Sky." Seamsu said, ending the conversation, much to Twilight's dissapointment.
Aww... how adorable was that! Okay, read and review, as always!
(P.S.) This story is getting less and less face-time by the viewers and is fading away fast, so I'm thinking of breaking this story in two to put it back on the front page, so to speak.
Anyway, tell me your thoughts in the reviews and don't be shy about it or I'll have Twilight monitor everything again. (That means you...)
