Festive Spirit
First snow had just kissed the ground in Ponyville. A thin and chilly layer of the white powder accumulated on the grass and on the rooftops, more of it falling by the hour until the world was nicely blanketed in winter's trademark. There had been no visitors to Fluttershy's cottage, leaving the stallion to question what was going on out there in the snowy expanses. Nevertheless, they had food, and he had chopped wood for the hearth, their paradise was nice and well kept by them.
The pegasus mare wanted so desperately to go on with her life and do the things that she wanted to do, but many an errand or chore needed to be done by Sombra. She was freshly pregnant and only just beginning to show this, a time when physical overwork- or any work at all in her stallion's eyes- could cause detriment to her and the foal and was therefore unnecessary.
She sat alone in her living room, reading her guide to the birds for the millionth time. The fire across from her was warm, and the blanket over her small body amplified the cozy atmosphere of the glowing room. Angel rested comfortably on the floor in front of the fireplace, curled up in a small ball with his back to the heat.
She heard commotion outside, not an uncommon noise after the snow began to fall. Sombra came inside, shaking the snow off of his back and swiftly closing the door. The cool draft wafted through the living room in a sharp wave and gave Fluttershy the chills for a moment before soothing warmth replaced it. "I finished putting out food for the animals like you asked, and I gave the chickens and the rabbits more hay to nest with..." Fluttershy smiled, putting down her book and out stretching her hooves to hug him. She pouted, waiting for him to step around and squeeze her. He smirked happily, coming to her side and hugging Fluttershy. "Thank you Sommy." She whispered to him, calling him something he wasn't particularly fond of; although Fluttershy could call him this anytime she liked. "You're very welcome Flutters." He replied sweetly, taking a step back as he drifted out of her hug. "I think I'm going to put the tea pot on, would you like something?" "Hot coco please." The mare replied with quickness, as over the past hour she had been developing a taste for the warm chocolate drink, and now he had offered to make her some.
The sink ran for a moment and than there was silence in the kitchen. Sombra returned to the living room. He sat down beside her on the couch, she moving the blanket so her head could rest in his lap. He touched her mane gently, twirling it around as she rested there. "We should put up decorations." He looked down at her, shaking his head playfully and kissing her cheek in one soft peck. "If it is your wish, it would be my pleasure to grant it." He scooped her up and set the petite mare down in his lap, kissing her cheek a few more times. She blushed, giggling some as his trail of kisses traveled down to her belly. She squeaked, he stopping and looking up to her aqua eyes. "Did you like that?" He asked deviously, doing it again for the same response. "Stop Sommy it tickles!" He traveled back up and traded her ticklish spot for her lips, slowly and passionately kissing her. He put his entire body into it and so did she. Sombra and Fluttershy always kissed like they were the secret lovers that they were. She ran her hooves through his thick black mane, feeling the stubble of his chin against her face and his muscles rippling beneath his coat all over. "What did I do to deserve a mare like you?" He asked, ending their kiss in exchange for simple snuggling. Fluttershy blushed, his subtle compliment bringing her joy. "Oh, I'm not good enough for you." She replied softly, a small corner of her heart actually believing it. The stallion stiffened, looking into her eyes seriously. "No, you're too good for me." He said firmly, completely serious and holding back tears. In truth, he looked completely normal and strong, but Fluttershy knew him well enough to tell when he was hurting inside. "We were never meant to be, somewhere there's a good stallion who could have loved you in ways I cannot, but I greedily took his place..." Fluttershy shook her head, wiping away one of his tears. "You love me in all the ways I want and in all the ways I need, don't you think for a second that I'm unhappy." She paused, smiling and kissing his cheek which elicited a blush through his dark coat. "I'm very happy, and I'd do it all over again." Fluttershy hugged him, he chuckling in pure amazement and embracing her as well. "I love you a lot Flutters, more than I care to admit." Her heart bounced and pounded in her chest to his sweet words. "Me too." She replied, both of them giggling madly at their love for each other.
Behind them in another room, the tea kettle was sounding its song. They had heard nothing for the first few moments, all of their senses being channeled to the attention of one another, but the high pitched rising was too great and they snapped from their trances. "I'll get it." Fluttershy offered, Sombra thanking her as she stepped away. "Nice flanks..." He whispered, making sure he was loud enough for her to hear. Fluttershy blushed, gliding into the next room slowly. She hummed a tune while she poured them both hot chocolate, returning with them on her wing tips. "Thank you." They sipped in silence for a moment, than, Fluttershy coming up with an idea. "Sommy, have you ever... built a snowpony?" He stirred his drink, watching the steam as he thought. "No, no I don't think I have." She smirked, finishing her drink and dragging him after her. "Get a coat!" He shouted to her, she turning to dress herself warmly while he wrapped a scarf around his neck.
They stepped outside, Sombra's hooves sinking into a few inches of fresh powder. Fluttershy's hooves did not sink so deep. She shivered once with a sudden chill, it being much colder outside than inside. "So let's start!" They rolled the first and largest ball of snow together, he asking questions as they went. With the first hall completed, Sombra rolled the middle while Fluttershy rolled the head. He used his magic to stack them neatly, admiring their creation. "I'll be right back!" She stated in realization of some thing, she rushing back inside to retrieve something. She came back with some small black rocks, a carrot, and two sticks. She gave the snowpony eyes, a nose, and then showed Sombra how to put the sticks in so they looked like hooves. He did so, smiling at their finished creation. "It's very nice." He said to her, kissing her cold cheeks with his cold lips. She blushed, nodding. "Your first snowpony." She told him, hugging his side before they both returned to the warmth of the cottage.
Inside of the cottage, Sombra went to retrieve the decorations Fluttershy wanted, the two ponies spending their evening decorating her cottage with strings of lights and shining streamers, after a short while establishing a festive environment within the small home. Sombra added a log to the fire, the hot burning logs crackling beneath the new weight, revealing their hot orange coals. The fire burned on, Sombra laying down beside Fluttershy. Angel sat on his chest, the stallion rubbing behind the rabbit's ears. Fluttershy sat at the other end of the seat, his hooves by her side as she knitted something in silence. He looked over at her, smiling. Angel turned to face her as well. She looked up, blushing shyly. "What?" He chuckled, setting her pet down and facing her. "What're you making my darling?" She stayed silent, saying nothing. He sat back, his hoof grazing her thigh. "Can't you tell me?' He pouted, speaking in a soft she pleading voice that made her heart melt and made her bones turn to jelly. "It's going to be a blanket when it's done." He looked, seeing the pink thing nearly half complete. "Pink?" She nodded. "I'll make a blue one too..." He smiled, kissing her cheek. "Do you think we'll have a colt or a filly?" He asked, she sat down her work and thought. "I kinda want... I mean, ah, I'd be happy no matter what, but...a teency-tiny little... filly... would be nice." Sombra pulled her closer, whispering in her ear something quiet that made her smile. Fluttershy hugged him, kissing the stallion's cheek and making him blush.
He leaned back in and whispered something else, eliciting yet another blush from the shy yellow mare. She gasped, pressing her hoof against his chest firmly. "You know we can't!" She whispered hotly in reply to him, a smile creeping over her face at the sound of his neediness. He whispered something else, Fluttershy biting her lip in thought at the idea. "I've never done that before..." She replied, looking away from him anxiously. Fluttershy looked back into his cool red eyes, giggling a little before lightly pushing him over. "Okay, if you want." He nodded, kissing her while his hoof cupped her chin. Fluttershy kissed his chest, slowly making her way down to his sheath. His breath was shaking and excited, the pegasus mare doing her best to please him with her hooves and mouth.
Outside, snow continued to fall.
