Celestia smiled to him. “You’re sure you want to tell her?”

Jay nodded, adjusting his balance as the carriage shifted a little. He and Celestia were on their way back to Ponyville after finishing up the search in Trotsdale. They had stayed an extra two days to follow various leads, making it three days ago that he had decided to give Celestia a chance. Fortunately, the carriage was sealed and he didn’t have to speak over the sound of the wind. “I do. I can consider Twilight a friend and I want to tell her the truth about me.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Celestia said happily. “It’s good to know you’re trying to trust my student.”

“I want to. She’s given me no reason to believe that I can’t trust her with the truth.” Jay replied.

“What about her friends?”

At that, Jay winced slightly as he grunted. “I’m not so sure about them. Sure, I’m not against any of them at all, but I’m not really friends with them. Pinkie’s the only one I can firmly call a good friend and she already knows about me.”

Celestia nodded, expecting the answer. “I’m still proud of you.”

That made a single laugh erupt from Jay. “Proud of me? Why?”

Her smile came back full force, the kind of smile a mother gives her kid. The comparison was mildly disturbing since this was the mare he was dating. “Please, don’t give me the motherly smile. It’s disturbing coming from someone I’m dating.”

That made her cough a couple times as a red blush burned on her muzzle. “A-any way, I’m proud of you because you’re trying to trust more and more ponies. You’re expanding your circle and trusting others. You’re letting them into your heart.”

Jay shrugged. “Only those I feel I can trust. It’s not like I’m opening up to random ponies.”

“That would just be strange.” Celestia added and Jay nodded in agreement. “How do you want to tell her?”

“Well, that letter I had you send her? That was inviting her to the Estate tomorrow morning where I’d tell her. And, uh, will you still be there?” He asked, ending with a nervous chuckle.

“If you want me to.” Celestia said with a smile. “I wouldn’t mind staying the night. What do you want me to do?”

Jay’s hand came up and ran through his hair, leaving it sticking up wildly. Celestia smiled at him, though he was looking down. Seeing his hair like that was attractive; she’d always liked it when her partner was rough, both in looking and in bed. Her muzzle flared red again as she thought of the many nights she had shared with Luna. She barely came back to the present in time to hear him speak. “I’m not positive that she’ll accept what I am. If she doesn’t, I think you might be able to get her to accept me if you tell her that you knew about me.”

“So I’m your fallback plan?” Celestia asked with an amused smile. Jay sighed and nodded, looking away from her. “I'll do it.”

“Sorry, forget it…”

Celestia moved next to him and wrapped a wing and a hoof around him. “What’s wrong, Jay?”

“Nothing.”

“Jay, trust and truth.” Celestia admonished lightly.

He sighed again, acknowledging her words. “It sounds like I’m just using you.”

“No.” Celestia stated firmly. “You’re not. You’re asking me for help. I could say no but I don’t want to. I said yes because I want to help you whenever I can. That’s part of a relationship, Jay. If you need help, I want you to ask me. If I need help, I’ll ask you.”

Celestia jerked slightly only to relax when she realized he had grabbed the hoof that was around him. Her heart warmed as he held it, his thumb lightly rubbing it. The Alicorn’s head came down and rested on his shoulder once more, her breathing evening out as she relaxed against him. She smiled when he leaned back into her, his left arm coming up and wrapping around her barrel. She could spend the entire flight like this and that was exactly what Celestia intended to do. Her grip around him tightened as they reclined against the wall, leaning into each other, and just shared a quiet, happy moment. Even if Jay didn’t say it, she could tell how much her words meant to him and that alone meant a lot to her.

They remained in the same position for four hours, during which Celestia lowered the sun without any prompt or fanfare. She felt him press into her slightly more as the aura took hold and comforted him slightly. As per Celestia’s orders, the Pegasi Guards landed the carriage inside the walls of the Estate. When the carriage rolled to a stop, the pair stood up. Jay reached out and swung the door open for Celestia, smiling to her and waving his hand outward as he held the door. The Solar Diarch tittered behind a hoof and climbed out of the carriage, the night sky twinkling far above them both. She turned to the Guards and nodded her thanks. “You may return to Canterlot. Tell my sister I’ll be staying overnight and returning tomorrow.”

The Guards shared a look before nodding, wisely not questioning their Diarch’s choices. They departed and the two immortals turned toward the Estate only for Jay to pause. “Celestia… if we walk inside and go up to the second floor, the Guards might see you.”

“So?” Celestia asked with a smile.

“That might spark some rumors you wouldn’t want marring your image.” Jay replied.

“Let them talk. I don’t care if the Guards here think I’m dating you. I am. That’s the short and simple of it.” Celestia said with a snort. “Besides, they can’t tell anypony. Nopony would believe it if they spread word of Jay and since Gene is only interested in Snow, ponies won’t buy it.”

“Fair points.” Jay replied with a nod. “Let’s go, then.”

The virus walked forward and held the front door for Celestia who graced him with a quick nuzzle. The pair walked into the foyer. From the corner of his eye, he could see Iron Wall and Lightning Spear staring at them from the living room to their left, their jaws hanging open. Jay ignored them both and led the way upstairs into the secondary living room. Once they were out of sight of the ponies below, Celestia turned to him. “Jay, do you want us to sleep in the same bed or for me to take one of the guest rooms?”

Instantly, she could see that the question made him nervous. He locked up for a split second but just long enough for her to notice. She sighed and walked over, nuzzling his face gently. “I’ll take the first guest bedroom.”

“N-no.” Came the hesitant reply. “We can share.”

Celestia fully hugged him this time, her hooves and wings wrapping around him. He embraced her back, making the Diarch sigh in contentment. After a moment, the pair separated. With an aura of magic, she levitated her regalia off of her and turned around, placing the jewelry into a corner of the room gently. Happy to have the weight of the gold off of her, she stretched. Her neck and wings extended as her back arched, eagerly working out any kinks the day had created.

“Uhh, C-Celestia?” Jay asked from behind her.

With a loud snap and clop, Celestia retracted her wings in an instant and spun around, a powerful blush flaring across her face as she realized that she had just given Jay an extended view. Oh, he must think I’m trying to seduce him and that I only want his body! I messed up so bad!

“I’m so sorry, Jay! I’m not a whorse trying to seduce you, I swear!” Celestia blurted, desperately trying to fix the situation.

“It’s okay, Celestia.” Jay started, embarrassed. “I understand you were just stretching. Just...try to be more careful which way you point yourself.”

Celestia was sure she was going to keel over from blood loss with how red her muzzle must have been. It felt like her snout was on fire from the embarrassment. Then Jay grinned. “I won’t lie, I enjoyed the view. I just wasn’t expecting it.”

That comment only made the blush flare brighter but a part of her was happy Jay was comfortable enough to tease her again. Instead of responding in any meaningful way, she just covered her face with a wing and tried to bury herself in a couch. Her ears twitched involuntarily as he laughed and sat down next to her. The next thing she knew was being moved as he pulled her over and onto his lap, gently embracing her. “Don’t be upset, Celestia. I’m just teasing you.”

“I’m not upset.” She mumbled out, her voice sounding small even to her.

“You aren’t?”

She shook her head in his chest. “Embarrassed, surprised, mortified, a little aroused, but not upset.”

“Don’t put that mental image into my head.” Jay said suddenly. “I guarantee it won’t help me relax since we’re going to be sleeping together.”

“What image?” Celestia asked as she looked up, her magenta eyes meeting his blue ones.

“I already saw you. I don’t need to think about what you would look like while aroused. That’s not going to make tonight any easier.” Jay replied without a hint of shame or embarrassment.

Celestia just groaned and buried her head in his chest again. “Let’s just go to bed.”

She felt Jay nod in agreement before lifting her up, making her squeak as her hooves wrapped around him tighter. His chest rumbled as he chuckled lightly, heading down the hallway. Moments later, she felt herself be deposited on the soft bed before a weight shifted the mattress next to her. Even without opening her eyes, she sought out the source of warmth and comfort, wrapping one hoof over him as her head settled onto his chest.

“It’s funny.” Jay started softly, though he sounded unsure. “You’re in the exact same position Chrysalis always sleeps in.”

“You’re just that comfortable.” Celestia replied as she slowly drifted off. The Princess was aware of one of his hands running softly through his mane, helping her drift off into her sister’s domain.

“Good night, Celestia.” Jay said softly, a content tint to his voice.

“Goonigh, Jay.” Celestia mumbled sleepily, not even bothering to speak properly.

Jay kept the amused smile on his face even as he, too, fell asleep.

Celestia’s dreams flashed by at a disorienting pace. The realm of dreams was fluid, shifting hundreds of times in a matter of moments. No rhyme, reason, or order restricted the motion, only limited by what thoughts her unconscious mind latched onto. Constantly in flux, the nightly visions simultaneously brought her to tears and made her moan in ecstasy. The night passed in a flash and the only thing Celestia knew for sure was the presence of a familiar giggle-snort throughout all the dreams.

When Celestia awoke, she felt uncomfortably hot and sticky from sweat. The heat combined with the grogginess only slowed her awakening and dulled her mind. Underneath her head, she could feel the intense warmth of Jay and instinctively snuggled deeper into him with every limb of her body, wrapping him in a warm and sweaty blanket. His body was tense for some reason, apparently uncomfortable about some fact. Her addled mind slowly became aware of this, confusion permeating her senses. Vaguely, she heard him speak as if it was from far off.

“Celestia? Why do you smell like sex and why is my right leg completely soaked?” Jay asked slowly, almost sounding like he himself was dreaming.

Celestia’s eyes snapped open, her magenta irises dilating as she realized what the burning heat was. The heat spread then, moving from her nethers to her muzzle as powerful embarrassment took hold. With a loud snap, Celestia’s wings flung back to throw the blanket off of them as she fell out of the bed. Standing in a flash, she was gone into the bathroom leaving Jay with nothing more than a soaked bed and a flash of her flagged tail and what lay beneath.

The virus’ head just dropped back onto the bed, combining two curses that he loved. “Goddamnit all to Hell and back.”

Rolling out of bed, he stood before tugging the sheets and blanket off of the bed, piling it in a corner as he reminded himself to wash them personally to prevent anypony from asking why his sheets smelt like sex and Celestia. There he stood in the center of the room, debating on what to do about the fluids on his leg. He wasn’t actually wearing jeans so he couldn’t simply change, but he felt conflicted about simply absorbing the liquid. Eventually, he overcame his indecisiveness and shrugged, a flurry of tendrils absorbing what remained on his leg, though he took care not to assimilate the stored DNA.

With the bed stripped and himself clean, Jay sat down on the bed and decided to wait for Celestia, who he could hear was frantically washing herself while also berating herself. Idly, Jay retrieved the runestone he had found when a tendril and examined it further, ensuring he had the purple rune memorized in the event he had it again. As he turned it over in his hands, a thought struck him. Maybe it only activates if you push magic into it?

He resolved to ask Celestia about it once she had washed herself and calmed down from the event. Then he wondered if he would have time before Twilight arrived. Jay glanced outside and saw that it was still dark, likely around four or five in the morning, well before the sun rose and Twilight would arrive. A plan for the morning made, he leaned back against the headboard and closed his eyes, waiting until the time that Celestia was finished.

After what was likely twenty minutes, Jay heard the door to the bathroom open very slowly as Celestia tried to be silent. Soft clops sounded out as she treaded lightly across the room toward the door to the bedroom. The virus could tell she was clearly trying to leave, likely to avoid any embarrassment. Unfortunately for her, he wasn’t going to let the feelings stew in her.

“Celestia.” Jay called out, not opening his eyes as his head turned slightly to face her.

“Eep!” The Alicorn squeaked as she froze right before Jay finally opened his eyes. Celestia was standing near the door, her magenta eyes opened wide as her hoof was frozen on the doorknob. Her wings were slightly spread from surprise, though she quickly folded them again.

“Why are you trying to sneak out?” Jay asked softly.

“I don’t want to upset you any more than I already have.” Celestia said sadly as her ears flopped down against her head, thinking of his reservations toward the herd.

“I’m not upset.” The virus retorted.

“W-what? But I-” Celestia started only to be interrupted when Jay spoke.

“Had a wet dream that got you excited. It’s natural. I wasn’t expecting to wake up to feel you soaking my leg and bed, but I’m not disgusted or upset with you.”

“Really?” The alabaster mare asked hopefully, her ears perking up again.

“Yes, really. Now, come over here and give me a hug.” Jay said with a small smile surfacing, spreading his arms out.

The Solar Diarch crossed the room quickly before leaping into his arms, making the bed bounce and shake with the added force. Her wings and hooves quickly wrapped around him again as she settled on his lap, her head resting on his shoulder. Jay’s hands came around and gently rubbed her back, making her hum in appreciation. Her mane drifted in front of his face and around his body, gentle tingles caused by the magic in her mane.

“I’m happy you aren’t upset.” Celestia breathed out in his ear.

“Certain things upset me easily, Celestia, and natural processes aren’t one of them.” He replied, feeling her nuzzle along his jawline after he finished speaking. A moment later, Jay grinned internally as he continued. “So what was the dream that got you all hot and bothered?”

He wasn’t sure but he felt like that comment got her to blush mildly. From his position, he couldn’t see her muzzle so that stopped him from enjoying the sight. “W-well, Luna-”

“That explains a lot. Though, you dreamed of Luna while sleeping with me? Am I not good enough?” Jay asked with a fake tone of hurt in his voice, a grin on his face.

Celestia huffed, catching on to his joke easily enough. She spoke quickly, words slipping out as her cheeks reddened when she thought of her dreams. “Luna was manipulating my dreams, not actually a part of them. The dreams were about yo-”

She stopped herself, though that didn’t mean Jay didn’t catch it. “Oh? About me?”

He felt Celestia nod hesitantly, her fur brushing against his neck and jaw as she did. He found himself idly thinking of how soft and comfortable she was. Then he returned to the present matter. “I’m flattered. I’ll admit I find you attractive, though you already know that. The two times you’ve flashed me may have got me thinking some unusual thoughts for me.”

Celestia’s muzzle burned hotly as she remembered the stretch she had done in front of him and the cold breeze she had felt on her wet rump when she stood up to rush to the bathroom. She had no doubt that her tail had been flagged up and over her back, leaving nothing to the imagination. Then she noticed something about his wording. “Unusual thoughts?”

“Sexual fantasies.” Jay replied bluntly, completely unabashed to be honest with her. She jumped in his grip when he said, though she calmed a little when he continued. “Though I don’t intend to act on them any time soon.”

Celestia sighed. “You act so strangely. Sometimes, you’re shy and nervous about this and other times, like now, you’re completely okay with teasing me and flirting, though that’s a little blunt.”

She felt his shoulder jump slightly when he shrugged. “That’s just because sometimes I think about who you are and calm down, knowing I can trust you. Other times, I remember that I just started dating you and start to freak out when I feel like I’m betraying Chrysalis. Soon enough, there’s going to be Luna as well.”

“When do you plan to talk to her?” The Alicorn asked.

“When you return to Canterlot later today, I’ll be going with you to tell her. I want to take you both out as well. I took Chrysalis on a few simple dates in the last couple weeks and...well, you already know how much I worry about you feeling left out.” Jay told her and Celestia’s grip tightened around him.

The pair stayed wrapped together, simply resting and basking in each other’s presence. To Jay, it was a great way to spend some time with Celestia while getting used to being with more than one person. To Celestia, it was a wonderful way to bond further with Jay while helping him get comfortable with her. It would just take some time for him to get more comfortable around them.

Quite some time passed before Celestia started to move again, feeling a very familiar need to raise the sun. Celestia adjusted her head so that her horn was pointing upward rather than sticking into a pillow and ignited her magic. She connected to the sun and, after a moment of thought, allowed her aura to spread out over the room and take hold of Jay. She felt him sag, relaxing immediately as he leaned against her. As Jay drifted away into whatever memories he saw, she started to hum. It was a simple tone, one that she used to sing to Luna, thousands of years ago, when they were both simple fillies, back before they were Alicorns and Luna ruled the night, in the days when the younger sister feared the dark.

After a short moment of gentle humming, she heard Jay start singing above her ear. Celestia was struck into silence as she realized he was singing the words to the song she hummed, the song that only Luna had ever heard. Then she smiled, knowing that was the memory Jay had seen.

“Feeling tired, by the fire, the long day is over~” Jay sang out softly, his deep voice soon being replaced by her own as sunlight began to stream through the window.

“The wind is gone, asleep at dawn, the embers burn on~” Celestia’s melodious voice contrasted powerfully with Jay’s baritone words. The memory and emotion felt by them both was enough to drive them both to tears.

“With no reprise, the sun will rise, the long day is over~” The pair sang in unison, their hearts syncing together as the magic of music took over them both. With the song finished and the sun raised, the pair of them fell silent, sporadic sobs wracking them both.

“I s-saw that.” Jay said after he had composed himself enough to speak. “I s-saw you s-singing that to Luna all those y-years ago.”

Celestia nuzzled him, the fur around her eyes matted from her own tears. “I s-still sing it to her sometimes. She won’t a-admit it, but she l-loves it when I do.”

“F-funny enough, that’s not why I’m c-crying.” Jay said, wiping his eyes. The magic had been powerful, powerful enough to make him cry when he shouldn’t be able to.

“Then why?” Celestia asked, looking into his eyes.

He gave her a wry smile. “On my world, that song existed there, too. I don’t know who wrote it but I would sing that to Melanie and Amaryllis when we were younger. We both sang that song to our sisters at the end of the day.”

Celestia stared at him, eyes opened wide. The warmth bloomed in her chest and she couldn’t help it as she leaned forward, planting a solid kiss on his lips. He tensed quickly before suddenly relaxing, his arms pulling her closer as the kiss deepened. Before she pressed her luck too far and got really into it, she pulled herself back and stared at him, panting slightly from the adrenaline running through her veins from such a bold move so early.

“S-sorry.” Celestia said breathlessly, though she knew she wasn’t.

“Don’t be.” Jay said as his head came to rest on her own. “Thank you for sharing that moment with me.”

“The memory or the kiss?” Celestia asked with a wide smile.

“Yes.” Jay said, making them both laugh. When they calmed, Jay continued. “I can’t believe the coincidences in this world. You made that song for Luna and I knew it, even before the memory.”

“We shared a powerful moment.” Celestia said softly, her smile firmly planted on her muzzle. “Our hearts connected with that magic and shared the experience between each other.”

“I don’t have a heart.” Jay deadpanned, though a smile twitched on his face. He jerked back in shock when Celestia hit him in the face with her surprisingly heavy wing.

“You’re incorrigible.” Celestia said with a laugh. Jay retaliated by flicking her on the end of her snout, making her flinch and flop backwards with her wings splayed out, landing on her back as they both laughed. Her eyes locked with his before they both sighed, Jay falling on his side next to her. Her head came to rest on his chest again, looking up at him upside down. A gentle nuzzle on his neck and a soft kiss on his jaw was all it took to make him stand up.

“What?” Celestia asked, suddenly worried she did something wrong.

“Nothing! I’m going to go take a cold shower. I’ll meet you in the living room?” He asked hopefully. A knowing smile flickered on her lips and she nodded, walking past him into the hallway with swaying hips. Jay stared for a moment, then grumbled as he turned and went into the bathroom. A cold shower wouldn’t solve anything physically but it would help quell the burning lust he felt in his heart. Well, soul.

After taking a quick cold shower, he left the bathroom and went into the living room where he saw Celestia utterly relaxed on one of the couches. Her head was drooping off of one edge, her horn tapping against the floor rhythmically as she bobbed her head. One wing and a hindleg was thrown over the back of the couch, though she seemed to have learned her lesson as her tail covered any areas the position would have otherwise exposed. A foreleg and her other wing were hanging off the couch and going underneath a nearby table. Overall, it was an incredibly adorable look that made him chuckle loudly.

Celestia’s head snapped up as a dull red blush spread across the bridge of her muzzle. “How long have you been watching me?”

“Only a minute or so. I laughed as soon as I entered. You look absolutely adorable.” Jay said and Celestia smiled sheepishly, then rolled off the couch and landed on her hooves. She trotted over to him and hugged him in that odd standing-pony way; her neck wrapped around his own and her muzzle pressed against his back. His arms came up and returned the embrace before she backed away. He watched as she seemed to nervously consider something. Celestia’s eyes steeled into a determined, if worried, look as she leaned forward and placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

The virus chuckled and reached out, pulling her into a longer kiss. Even though it deepened no further than lip contact, her wings flapped at her sides twice before she calmed down and leaned into him. They parted when Celestia leaned back for air, her lungs still needing air unlike his. The Alicorn smiled bashfully at him. “I was worried that I kissed you too early and only worried you more.”

Jay shook his head, a small smile on his face. “I’m feeling a hell of a lot better about it, now. Luna wasn’t the only one to mess with your dreams last night. She put me and Chryssi together and we talked about all of this again. I even told her how close we had gotten.”

“And?” Celestia asked curiously.

“She was happy about it.” Then he paused. “Now that I think about it, I think Luna told Chryssi her plan for what she would do to you.”

“Why is that?” Celestia asked curiously.

“Because she encouraged me to ‘take care’ of your situation when I woke up.” Jay said with a laugh.

“W-well?” Celestia stuttered nervously. Jay paused after a moment, shocked by the meaning behind her question.

“I t-told her that I wasn’t sure because I didn’t want to r-rush the relationship and ruin it.” Jay replied, half retelling events and half talking straight to her.

“Oh.” Celestia said, slightly disappointed. They were both mature; they didn’t need to worry about being too physical too fast. Did they? No, they didn’t. Celestia and Luna’s relationship started physical after a little too much drink. That relationship has lasted more than a thousand years and a banishment. Why couldn’t theirs?

Looking at Jay as he stared out a window, an answer slowly came to her. He’s scared. He’s terrified he’ll do something to tear us apart, whether me and Luna, me and Chrysalis, Luna and Chrysalis, or us and him. That’s why he talked to Chrysalis about something as simple as a kiss. That’s why he wants to talk to Luna as soon as possible. He keeps saying that we have all of eternity to be comfortable around each other, but he’s second-guessing himself trying to make sure this relationship lasts until eternity. He’s holding himself back in fear of messing up. He really wasn’t kidding when he told us that he hasn’t had a partner before and now he has to deal with three.

A determined stare replaced her thoughtful look as she came to a conclusion. Luna told me about it, Jay. All you need is a little push.

The Alicorn walked around him and butted him with her head, minding her horn, forcefully. While he was likely stronger than her- and incredibly heavy, she had bolstered herself with her magic and it was enough to knock him onto the couch on his back. Celestia trotted over quickly and reared up, placing her front hooves on either side of his head. Jay was taken aback by her suddenly aggressive action as she essentially pinned him to the couch, though he could have easily escaped. Honestly, he wasn’t sure he wanted to.

Celestia leaned down and stopped, her breath warm against his face as they stared into each others’ eyes, fiery warmth meeting passionate curiosity. Then she brought her muzzle down the last few inches and kissed him. At first, it was a normal kiss; the exact same kind he and Celestia had shared already. Then it deepened when Celestia nipped his lower lip, then flicked her tongue across the bite. Humming in response, Jay allowed his lips to part as Celestia’s own muscle darted into his mouth, rapidly flicking across his canines as she hummed in her own melodious voice. Jay’s mouth flickered in a grin as he struck back, forcing Celestia’s tongue into her own mouth. Deft strokes flicked across her mouth sparking moans from her as he explored the depths of her naturally-long mouth.

The tides turned again when, a moment later, Celestia pushed him back and wrestled his tongue with her own. He stopped her in the middle as they fought, their tongues fighting valiantly. A quick nip gave Celestia the advantage as her wing came up and flicked across his neck, causing him to melt against her. She pressed her advantage, forcing his tongue into submission. With her opposition out of the way, she took the chance to fully explore his mouth, focusing closely on his canines. The sharp teeth pressing against her tongue was something she clearly enjoyed, if her light moans had any meaning.

While Celestia’s wing played with his neck, Jay found his hand subconsciously drifting downward until it rested on top of her Cutie Mark right before his hand clamped down, forcing another drawn out moan from her. His hand relaxed then began rubbing soft circles around the Mark itself. Her wing began twitching against his neck as he heard the other flap lightly, extending over the couch.

Eventually, all good things come to an inevitable end. The quick breaths Celestia had taken during their ‘duel’ was no longer enough to sustain her lung capacity. With a regretful whine, she pulled away panting as she stared at him, a satisfied smile on her muzzle. Jay stared up at her, still pinned by her hooves, as he returned the smile genuinely. “What brought that on, Celestia?”

“‘This is what I need; a little pressure to make me get over myself.’” Celestia quoted with a smug smile.

Jay laughed, happiness in his voice. “She told you that, didn’t she?”

Celestia nodded. “She did, but that wasn’t what sparked the passion. It was a realization.”

“Oh?” Jay asked curiously.

When her eyes met him, he realized just how important it would be and sat up slightly when she started speaking. “I realized how afraid you were of hurting us or tearing apart our relationships with each other or you. You were so worried that you were doubting yourself, thinking over the actions you had made or would make, trying to ensure you didn’t do anything to hurt us. Sometimes, a bit of spontaneous affection overcomes anything planned.”

“I’ll say.” Jay said with a grin, though he seemed to be radiating contentment with what she had learned of him.

She smiled and settled down against him, wings and hooves splayed out. She sighed as she relaxed further, content to just not move for hours until Twilight arrived.

“Celestia?”

“Hmm?” Celestia hummed out in question.

“You’re wet again.” Jay said, shifting his leg when he noticed the trails of fluid.

Celestia just groaned out, burying her head deeper into his chest. Jay chuckled, bouncing her head slightly. “You sure you want Twilight to see- and smell- that?”

“We got time.” The Solar mare mumbled out, her voice muffled by his chest. Her wings tightened around him as he tried to move, holding him in place. Jay gave up and, after a moment, spoke.

“So we’re just lying like this?”

“Yep.”

Author's Notes:

This chapter focused purely on Jay and Celestia's relationship as well as a bit more on Jay's personality. Don't hesitate to tell me what you think about this chapter because I enjoy reading it.
