The Perfect Mate
Chapter 12: Please Don't Leave
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"God damn sun..."
Ryan's eyes felt like they were melting out of his skull as the sun's rays worked there way through his window and onto his face. It seemed much brighter than usual. Not only that, but he felt kind of dizzy. He moved to get up, but something was stopping him. He felt a strange texture going across his chest and holding him down with the strength of a bull. Oh well, might as well see how everything's going. "Brain, status report."
Fuck off, Todd.
"...What?"
He must have gotten really fucked up if his brain is this fuzzy. Fuck it, shit happens. He looked down and grunted in pain. Whatever was holding him down just stabbed him in the eye! "Mother...ffffffuck!" He quickly placed a hand over his eye, pulling it away just as fast. "No blood. No damage done."
He looked down once again, this time being more careful. Much to his surprise, there wasn't a leprechaun sitting on his chest with a small sword. Instead he was met with this; A blue horn pointing directly at him, which seemed to be connected to a blue head with a flowing mane that-"Luna!?"
The night princess was stirred from her sleep. Who was yelling her name? It didn't matter, she just had the most wonderful night with her mate, nothing would spoil her mood today. He sat up, letting the blanket fall from her chest as she stretched out her arms and let out an adorable yawn. Last night was perfect, she made love to her mate and in so many different ways. They went hard and rough, then soft and loving, and would continue to switch off every so often.
She turned her head to see Ryan pulling himself into a sitting position. She smiled and leaned against him, wrapping her arms around his torso. "Good morning, love. Did you sleep well?"
He didn't reply, he just continued staring at her.
His silence prompted her to release him from her hold and look directly at him. "Is there something wrong?" She asked with genuine curiosity. Why was he acting so weird, they should feel closer than ever right now.
"Yes, no, I don't know!" He placed his hands on his head, trying to figure out what had happened. Part of him was panicking a bit. He had to piece together what had happened. He walked around, got bored, went to see Discord, started drinking, then...blank. "Fuck!" He removed his hands from his skull and began slamming one of his fists into his forehead. "Work, dammit, work!"
Luna was taken back by his sudden behavior. She reached up and grabbed his arm to stop him from further harming himself. "Ryan, stop!"
He pulled away and climbed out of the bed. "No, no, no. I have to remember." He went to a nearby wall and began headbutting it repeatedly. "Wake up, you useless fuck!"
Her mind only clicked on one thing at this moment. "You don't remember..." Her eyes began to water and a single tear worked its way down her face. In her mind, what she had just heard, was that her first time was nothing more than a forgotten memory to him.
Ryan hit his head harder, he knew what had happened just by how they woke up together, but he desperately wanted to remember everything. One more solid hit and the wall cracked. This one made him dizzy and he stumbled backward, falling onto the floor.
Alright! Fuck! I'm up!
At that moment everything that had happened last night came back to him. Discord winning the drinking competition due to biology.
And cheating!
Fondling Celestia and burying his face into her chest.
That was funny.
Licking Twilight's horn.
...I'm not sure if I can call that gay or not.
What happened between him and Luna.
Twelve rounds!? Damn, that's a new record!
With his brain awake and his memories retrieved, he turned around to talk to Luna, only she wasn't there.
This can't be good...
"No shit!" He didn't see her leave, that can only mean she teleported. Her clothes are on the ground, so she's naked. She must have gone to her room. Not like royalty is just going to up and strut around nude. He made a quick break for the door.
Clothes!
He stopped and turned around to get dressed, throwing on what he had worn last night before charging into the hall and toward Luna's room.
She couldn't believe it. She lost her virginity to the most wonderful creature she had ever met and he just completely forgot everything! She wanted so much to just be mad, but she couldn't. She was hurt.
Luna kept her face buried in her pillow as she wept. How could he be so thoughtless as to just forget their first time together. Last night was the night that they finally had done it. Not just sex, but the connection they made that night completed their bond. They were bound for life now and he doesn't even remember.
Three hard knocks came from her door. She knew who it was, he always knocked three times and it always sounded like he was pounding on the door rather than knocking. "Go away!"
"Luna, please. I just wanna talk." Ryan pleaded on the other side.
"There's nothing to talk about. I gave myself to you and you just forgot! I'm like one of your stupid ex's to you!"
"No you're not, just let me explain!"
"Leave me alone!"
Ryan was known for allot of things, being forgetful, being kind in a very crude and sometimes mean manner. One of the main things he was known for was his temper and how strong it made him. He was doing his best to stay calm, but something was tearing his insides apart. He could feel how hurt she was, but that pain was quickly turned into rage. He stepped away from the door before delivering a powerful kick. One strong enough to break the door off of its hinges.
Luna gasped and looked up at the enraged human, ready to attack if need be. Strangely enough, once he saw her, his anger started to dissipate. It was a shock to both of them. Her; because anger like that doesn't just simply melt away, him; because never before has anything ever managed to make it do so.
"Look, I just need one minute. Just give me that, please." He begged, mentally debating whether or not he should get down on his knees to make this more convincing.
She sat up on her bed, using her blankets to cover her still naked form. Her eyes were still wet with tears, but the look on her face was more stern than saddened. "You have one minute. You better make it count."
He walked over and took a seat on the bed, taking a deep breath. He was happy she would hear him out. As long as he could try to help her understand then he can say that he at least tried. "I'm sorry, Luna. I was drinking and every time I do I wake up the next morning not remembering anything for a little bit. It takes me a minute to get my brain working right so I can recollect everything."
Ryan looked over at Luna, she was still pretty pissed. That much he can tell for sure. He reached over and grabbed her hand, she tried to pull away, but he refused to let go.
"I'm really fucking sorry. Yes, I forgot." He watched her expression only turn more sour. He let go of her hand and rose from the bed. "But, if it's any consolation, I remember it now. And I don't regret a damn thing." With that he began walking toward the now broken entry way only to be stopped at the last second.
"Wait!" Luna called out, quickly earning the human's attention. "So, you do remember it?" She asked, her eyes almost pleading with him to give her the answer she wanted.
He nodded. "I don't remember it. I remember everything. Every last little detail." He chuckled slightly. "It's funny. The only time I can remember anything in perfect detail is when I'm drinking, but like I said, it takes me a minute."
Luna leaned back against her bedpost, her stern look now looking somewhat playful. "Oh yeah? Prove it." She demanded, now sounding much more upbeat.
"...What?"
"You heard me." Her magic suddenly engulfed the broken door, repairing and reattaching it back to its frame.
Ryan watched this in awe. "The fuck?"
"You say you remember, so prove it." Luna tossed the blanket aside, revealing her naked form to him. "I want you to show me every little trick you did last night, right now."
The human was practically frozen solid. He could not believe that she really just said that. And how the fuck did she go from pissed off and crying to ready to fuck in the blink of an eye?
Bitch is bipolar.
"Uh huh..." Even he didn't know who he was replying to; his mind, or the extremely hot alicorn sitting not ten feet away from him.
"Ryan~" She sang in a voice so sultry it would make a priest weak at the knees while fluttering her eyelashes at him. "I'm waiting."
He was about ready to tear his clothes off and jump this mare, but was stopped when he heard a soft knocking coming from Luna's door. He turned to face the door, "Luna is-uh no es home. No hablo Inglés. Check is in mail."
Did you really just do your Consuela voice?
"Um...Auntie Luna? Are you in there?" The voice replied in a smooth, but confused fashion.
Luna shot up from her bed, quickly throwing on a pair of clothes before answering the door. "Niece! It's so good to see you." She wrapped her arms around this...wow this bitch is cute.
On the other side of Luna's embrace was a woman just a bit shorter than Luna. Her fur was pink, her mane was...weird to look at. Not as bad a Celestia though. She had wings and a horn, so she's clearly an alicorn. The purple tips on her wings look pretty cool. She wore a colorful, but mostly pink, regal dress. So he knows what she looks like now, but who is she?
Ryan walked up behind Luna and soon found himself staring directly into the mare's purple eyes. They bore directly into his skull, it felt like she was looking inside of him. He threw his hands over his eyes and yelled before falling to the floor. "Back demon!"
Luna pulled away from the mare to see what all of the commotion was about. She shrugged it off rather quickly as Ryan just being weird. "Ryan, this is my Niece, Princess Mi Amore Cadenza of the Crystal Empire. Cadence, this is my mate, Ryan."
Cadence made her way over to Ryan, extending a hand to help him up. "Pleased to meet you." She said with a warm, welcoming smile. She's clearly being nice, she looks nice, and she has a loving aura of sorts that Ryan could definitely feel.
I don't buy it.
He squints his eyes at her, giving her a look that says 'I'm watching you' as he takes her hand and allows her to help him up. "Likewise."
Cadence could see that he doesn't trust her, honestly she's not sure if she should trust him either. Something about him seemed off. She could clearly see that he cared for Luna greatly when she was able to look into his eyes, but she could have sworn she found something else in them. Something not too charming.
"I hope you don't mind, but I would like to borrow my aunt for a short while."
He glared at her for a second before putting on a playful smile. "Sure, go right ahead. Take her off my hands for a bit." Right as he said this an empty glass flew off of a nearby table and into the side of his head. "Ow." He said sounding more un amused than anything else. He turned his head to face Luna who was looking at the ceiling and whistling. "Dick."
"Bitch." She replied with a smirk before walking over and kissing the side of his head. "You take care while I'm gone and don't get hurt,"
"I feel like the only time I get hurt is when I'm around you." They smiled to each other before sharing a tender kiss.
"Aww, you two are so cute." Cadence cut in, earning the couples attention. "Don't worry auntie, he'll be safe. Shining Armour will protect him."
"Shining who-now?" Ryan's question was soon answered as a white stallion with a blue mane dressed in shorts and a sports jersey walked in.
"So, this is the new guy, huh?' He walked over and threw and arm around Ryan. "It's about time we got another guy in the family. Come one, the hoofball tournament is about to start!"
There was a very distinct reason why Ryan has been with so many women. He grew up around damn near nothing but women, he had very few men in his life. In turn, he had a hard time communicating with guys. Not only that, he didn't like a lot of what a normal guy would do. One of those many things was sports. He'd rather do dishes that watch any kind of sport. He could tell real quick that he wasn't going to like Shining Armour.
Ryan leaned over to Luna and whispered, "You can't leave me with this guy, this is going to be a nightmare."
Luna just smiled and kissed him one last time. "You'll be fine dear. Go have fun."
As she said this Shining Armour started dragging Ryan out of the door. "Come on, we're gonna miss the first inning."
"No, No! You can't do this to me! Please...Luna, don't leave me!" Luna's bedroom door was shut as the two exited, Ryan soon being thrown over the stallions shoulder. "Dammit!"
Luna just laughed and took a seat on her bed. "And here I thought we were the ones who would be leaving. So, my dear niece, what brings you here? I haven't heard of any crisis that would demand all of us to be together."
Cadence nodded. "No, it's nothing like that. I just happened to hear from Twilight that you have yourself a coltfriend and-"
"She told you what he did to her last night, didn't she?"
The mare blushed a bit at this for some reason. "Well, yes. I was a bit concerned about his intentions. I just thought that maybe I should come see him for myself. Honestly, I'm not sure though."
Luna raised a brow at Cadence. "What do you mean?"
"It's just...He seems nice...kind of. " She did her best to choose her word carefully, she didn't want to upset her aunt, but she had to be honest. "I can tell his feelings for you are genuine, he really does care about you, but..."
"But..."
"There's something...in him. Something dark. I could see it, I could feel it. There's something...not right with him. Like he has something evil in him."
Luna sighed, "I'm well aware of that and I have done my best to keep him as he is."
"What do you mean?"
"I knew immediately when I met him that there was something lurking around in the depths of his mind." She explained, preparing to go into detail. "I had the opportunity to enter his mind a while ago, I found out things that would have taken me months to discover in a matter of minutes. He does harbor a darker being in him, it's a darker version of himself. Something terrible that seeks blood. I met with it personally."
Cadence sat down next to Luna, clearly intrigued by the story. "What happened?"
"I quelled the beast within him by showing it the beast within me. That was how our bond started. I connected with him, with all of him. The part of his mind that seeks order and fun, as well as the one that seeks chaos and death. I showed the beast within him Nightmare Moon and they were as enticed with each other as Ryan and I are. So long as I am around, the monster within him will remain calm."
"Wow." She didn't know what else to say. What else could be said? "I've heard the saying that love is when ones demons get along with anothers, but I never thought something like that could...wow." As interesting as the matter was, she did come here to talk about her sister in law and her safety. "So, about Twilight..."
Luna stood up and placed a hand on Cadence's shoulder. "Niece, I can assure you that it meant nothing. It was merely an act of drunken stupidity. He didn't know any better. I made sure to explain to him that night that what he did was wrong."
"So you told him about it?" She asks, giving Luna a knowing smirk.
Luna blushed, she could tell Cadence was onto her. "Well, yes of course I did."
"Really? Are you sure you didn't show him?" She teased.
"Y-you...I...Urg!" She had been defeated.
Cadence clapped her hands together, soon pointing at Luna. "Aha! I knew it. I could tell when I walked through the door!"
Luna rolled her eyes, "Oh, please. It's not that obvious."
"Not that obvious! You're practically glowing!" Luna continued to ignore her, "And you kind of really need a shower. You smell like you two went at it all night."
Luna's ears folded back, her blush quickly returning. She buried her face into her hands. "I wish Ryan and I could swap places right now..."
The music was loud, but the announcer was louder. Loud enough to be heard over the crowd of screaming fans. "An here's the pitch." The sound of the baseball meeting the bat echoed throughout the stadium. "And it's a high flyer! Look at it! It could go all the way...HOME RUN!!!"
The crowd went wild, Shining Armor jumped up, cheering like a madman. He came back down for a moment and shook Ryan's still sitting form, sharing the hype as best as he could before returning back to his standing position and cheering the runner on.
Ryan looked up at Shining Armour before burying his face into his hands. "Kill me now..."
