Koraseru walked along the snow covered walkways of the castle gardens, nodding to guards as he passes by, He wasn’t going anywhere specifically, just having a nice stroll as the snow gently falls from the grey sky. Something was on his mind though, and it would nod leave him alone for even a second.

    Should I just ask her if she wants to be my...marefriend? I mean I have known her for nearly two thousand years. That counts for something right? Or is it too soon…?

    He lets out a groan of frustration and falls back into a large mound of snow, crossing his arms as he lays there staring up at the sky..

    “Not to mention Hearth’s Warming is coming up soon. I have to get her something good. I have a nice big bag of bits stashed away in my room from all the odd jobs I have taken around town.”

    Celestia did offer him a monthly stipend, but he refused to take any of her money, Luna didn’t like the idea of him working around the city. But Koraseru didn’t really mind it at all. It kept him busy and the heavy lifting kept him fit...even though the things that required lifting were really nothing for him. But, it still kept him from being bored. And he has made a lot of friends in the town of Canterlot. Those who saw him as a dangerous monster before, now saw him as a great friend and someone willing to help. Sometimes even for free. As he lays there thinking, Celestia just happens to pass by and arches a brow as she sees him lying in the snow the way he was. She couldn’t help but giggle lightly and sits beside him on the bench. She was dressed in her winter clothing, it was thick, but form fitting to show off all her curves.

    “Are you comfy like that, Koraseru?”

    He shifts his gaze over to her.

    “Hey Tia. Yeah, it is pretty comfy I suppose. Just got alot on my mind is all…”

    She nods and looks away from him.

    “I can tell she is always on your mind, Koraseru. I know that you know your bond with my sister has deepened substantially.”

    She blushed a bit before what she was going to say.

    “Especially on Nightmare Night...to think she trusts you enough to do that. You must be really good to her,especially considering the face you aren’t her coltfriend….yet.”

    He blinks and blushes heavily, steam rising from his body from around the snow as it warms up.

    “Did...she tell you about that?”

    “She did, not that I am upset about it. I know you would never take advantage of her. But, if she feels you are the one for her, Koraseru, Both of you need to act upon it at the same time.”

    “Don’t get me wrong Tia. I feel like my feeling run extremely deep for her, but even the things that she had done to show her trust in me. Should I consider those real signs?”

    “You will know...soon enough Koraseru. Luna’s first heat will be upon us as Hearth’s Warming grows nearer.”

    Koraseru shoots up from his spot and widens his eyes. He knows that word and when it is used like that.

    “Tia….tell me this is a joke…”

    “I am not joking Koraseru. And when it happens, should her feelings truly be for you. She will be turning to you to sooth her overpowering urges. As you have witnessed over the years of staying here, my heat is during the summers, and I have nearly stolen you to my chambers a few times because it was hard for me to find a suitable partner. Koraseru, it’s going to get rough for you. Her advances will be assertive and alluring. Should you deny her, please be as gentle as possible. I know you want things between you and her to organically progress. But soon, the time may be upon you both to push forward more. An alicorn needs a mate, Koraseru. And I know a being like you, will help her over and over again when she needs it. You may not become her coltfriend when it happens. But I know in time, you two will end up together. And I have felt it ever since we were younger. No one but you and me knows her like we do.”

    Koraseru was in shock, he first sexual experience was growing nearer and near by the day. He was both excited, and extremely nervous. Celestia had a point though, he and Luna have always been together, apart from her banishment to the but even then, as she came back, their bond deepened even more when they reunited after saving her. Even more so when he accepted her even after she became Nightmare Moon and nearly killed him.

    “So then, her first heat huh? Not gonna lie Tia. half of me is very excited to see how she courts me into bed, but the other half is nervous. I know from what you have told me, an alicorn’s heat is...very very extreme. Not to mention I have seen it first hand with you as you said. Getting away from you wasn’t easy, that’s for sure.”

    Celestia giggles again with a light blush.

    “And I was so determined to make you mine as well. No stallion has your stamina. We could have gone for hours and hours…”

Koraseru shakes his head, but laughs.

    “Sorry Tia, but whether it happens within the coming weeks or years from now. I want my first time to be with Lulu. I may be nervous, but I know that she is the only mare in my heart for me.And when i feel that she is ready to know, I will tell her how I feel.”

    “I am kind of jealous of her right now, I will admit. She may not know it, but she has a very very sweet guy in her life. One that will keep her happy always. You do know how love of an alicorn works, don’t you koraseru?”

    “I do not. Would you care to inform me?”

    “Should your love remain true, the immortality of the alicorn will be shared with the one that they truly love. If that happens, then we can be a family forever. Wouldn’t that be nice?”

    Koraseru smiled to himself. Being with the ones he cared about forever did sound like a pretty good idea. I could be with both of those he cared about more than anyone forever. Especially with Luna.

    “That does sound amazing, Tia. It really does.”

    He said as he walked over to the railing and places his hands against it.

    “I need to get her something wonderful for Hearth’s Warming. Something that will make her smile and keep her happy.”

    Celestia gets up from the bench and walks over to Koraseru, placing a gentle hand on his shoulder and gives him a reassuring smile.

    Whatever you give her, I know she will be happy because it came from you. No matter what it may be. And I know you will enjoy what she will give you. I bet if anything she is trying her best to figure out what to get you now, probably pacing around in her own little dream stressing out.”

    Koraseru laughed.

    “Yeah, that does sound like Lulu doesn’t?”

    “Indeed, I can just imagine her pacing around in a big white room, flustered and stressing about what to give the person she cares so much for.”

    “I should...get something custom made for her. Something that is for her and only her. I know she isn’t that much into jewelry, so that is a no go. Maybe something that is related to weapons? I remember her saying that she wanted to learn how to use a sword....”

    “Luna does have a great fondness for swords, koraseru. Maybe getting ehr one of those will make her a great gift.”

    “Yeah, but it can’t be just any sword...it has to be special.”

    He lower his head in though, placing his fingers on his chin and think, hard. After a few minutes of silence, it hits him. What better material to use than metal from within the moon?! Making a weapon that would have an eternal glow to it would make the perfect give for the mare that illuminates the night with her beauty!

    “Tia...I am going on a long trip tonight when the moon raises, I will be gone for most of the evening, but don’t tell Lulu where I am going alright? I am going to gather materials for her gift. It is going to be perfect…”

    “Very well then, she has Night Court tonight anyways. So she will be very busy.”

    “Good that will give me plenty of time to do what I need to do then.”

    “I am sure whatever you give her, it will be excellent.”

    “Oooh you have no idea…”

--Evening, The Moon Is Fully Risen--

    Koraseru stood atop of the highest point of the castle, watching the moon stop at it’s peak in the sky.

    “Alright...here goes nothing…”

    He leaps up and takes flight, increasing his power as he does so. Growling and clenching his teeth as he speeds up his acceleration in flight, attempting to plow through the stratosphere of the planet. He meets with more and more resistance the higher he gets. Little did he know that Celestia was watching him. She was impressed out how high he was already, not even she could make that height.

    “Come on...break through damnit!”

    His increases his power more,letting out a scream of determination as he glares and clenches his teeth harder. After what felt like forever, he finally pushed passed the gravity pull of the planet and zoomed out towards the moon, circling around it to slow down his speed before landing on top of it. No, Koraseru didn’t need oxygen while in space. As his kind can literally be in space without having to breathe oxygen. How? He doesn’t know himself. As he walks on the moon, he looks around, seeing why Luna absolutely hated it here. So alone and quiet...poor mare must have been so lonely. But he wasn’t focused on that now. He needed to get below the surface of the moon, he flew around looking for the deepest crater. Eventually finding one, he hovers over it and charges up a powerful ki blast, not one that would damage the moon particularly, but enough to get him deep under it’s surface. He fires it off, getting just the right amount of power to get him where he wanted.

    “Perfect…”

    He said as he lowered himself into the hole. He began looking for certain kinds of ores. The moons he had back on his home world has metal that glowed forever. He wasn’t sure why, but it could also be refined and turned into weapons both for use and display. A win/win. Hours go by, he finally emerges from the hole victorious with his haul in his large bag he took with him.

    “Now then...to get back and begin construction on this gift.”

    This is going to be something he will put all his heart and soul into. Something especially just for her and only her.. A big smile comes across his face.

    Just for you Lulu...just to see you smile.
