It felt nice to be here his voice and not, well, him breathing heavily for 39 minutes. His voice was soft like he was still trying to recover. I would imagine he would. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea," I obliged his offer. "But I call showers first." I said before he could call the shots. I poked his nose and he scrunched back like he was just shown something stomach turning.
The now moist and warm sheets were peeling off me like plastic. It felt abnormal to have something so moist come off your skin. But, little by little the cold air rushed over my unclothed skin. I would've regretted getting up if I've known that it was cold. Chrome leaned over and smacked me on the cheek. I flinched.
It stung a little but went away in seconds. "Can I come with you?" Chrome asked. His voice was a bit stronger and more recovered this time. "I swear I won't do anything sexual. Not without your permission atleast." He drove a hard bargain with that offer. Tempting as it was, I haven't taken a shower alone since I was back home.
I remember each day, I would regret and waking up. Going to that Luna forsaken job. With those annoying co-workers. With the under payments. I would get home each day and take a long shower. Next I would probably watch some tv or study for a final quiz or test. Now a days, I tend to Chrome. I love him so but he seems aggressive. Not in a harmful way but more in a sexual way. Also he seems attached to much to me.
I shouldn't complain. I would be a hypocrite about it anyway. I'm the same way. All I do is let him tower over me in my own little fantasy. My question is do I want this fantasy to continue or end. I like it here more but I also miss my family. I could always start a family with him. We could adopt. We could both die of old age in a small house in Ponyville. Yeah, that sounds nice. But. "Hey! You ok? You've been standing their silently for like 5 minutes. Hellooo!" I jumped back and onto a wall. "Wo there. Might want to sit down for a moment. How many hooves am I holding up?"
"One, I'm fine. I was.. Thinking. Sorry." I said in a casual manner. He gave me a worried look. He could see that there was more to my story. All I could do was stand there, blackly into his eyes.
"Get in the shower, I'll be in there in a minute." Chrome said as he pointed to the bathroom beside me. He gave the ground a stare as if he was a saddened father. "If we're going to discuss this, I want to get it done in a comfortable place." His voice had no intention of a reply in it.
I nodded and stepped into the bathroom. I didn't know what to expect from him. If this was a really a dream and what I think is going to happen. Then.. I think that there will be a note in the shower. I don't care what it says, I'm thinking of it.
I pulled the curtain back swiftly. There wasn't anything. Just a few assortments of soaps and shampoos. Ok, well now I know that this is my reality and not a dream. Hopefully. I spotted out the handles and turned them to a warmer setting. My hand stuck out into the shower to wait till it was warm enough for my likings.
It took long enough. I stepped in and leaned against the cold wall. I waited for Chrome to come in. I waited, and waited, and waited. What felt like hours past by before he climbed in. He was a sight for sore eyes drenched in water and steam.
"I want to talk to you." He said looking towards the ground. "Look, if you want to tell me anything. I will listen. I'm always here for you." Chrome, dazed in thought. He stirred for words in his head. "I want to deactivate my online settings. Which means that my memory will wipe. We will have privacy but we'll have to start over. No one will listen to us." His eyes started to water up.
"No no no. You can't. No. We're to far. No. Please." I picked him up and hugged him. I fell to my knees and nearly started to cry into his shoulder. "I.. I.. No.." I was lost for words. "We can figure this out. We can just go to the store and do it that way. No." My denial grew stronger as I didn't want him to go.
"Why? Do you want people listening in on us?" He nearly yelled.
"I don't want you to." I got up. I brushed the curtain a side and stepped out onto the floor. I was dripping wet. The floor was flooded in my tears. I had the ring, I don't know where or which bag. I scavenged through them. Chrome watched me confused.
I found the ring in my locked bag under the bed. The red casing shined and shimmered in my eyes. I ran back to Chrome. "I.. I can't let you do that. Because, I want you to be my husband." I knelt down and showed him the ring. It glowed a bright white. The diamond and gold mixed together for a perfect mixture of beautiful and dazzling.
Chrome gasped and sat down. His hooves covered his mouth. Tears rushed down our eyes like never before. He formed a smile and nodded his head. His eyes shut closed and were glued there. I formed a grin as well and started to nod like he was.
He grabbed me and hugged me. His tears ran down my right shoulder. "Yes, yes, yes!" He shouted. I pulled away and kissed him straight on the lips. I felt fire works go off. I felt the world stop and shine a spot light on us. I felt every thing, I felt happiness truly. Pure happiness at its absolute purist form of pure.
Chrome looked towards me. "I love you. I love you more than life. I love you more than you could imagine." He said with tears still running down his puffy red cheeks.
"I love you more than you love me." I said before putting the ring on his hoof. It fit like a glove and glowed like the moon. If only the moon glowed as bright as his heart did.
