(Rarity POV)

"I'm off to school." Sweetie Belle said as she ran out the door but I quickly went to the door to say.

"Be careful." I said, then she turned around to wave before running to school at full speed.

'hopefully she won't get herself in trouble.' I thought then looked towards Winters new home. 'Maybe I should pay him a visit.' I thought then walked towards his home we haven't really talked about what happened yesterday, and I grew more worried for him by the minute.

I knocked on the door but there was no answers, so I opened the door to see Winter was on the first floor. "Winter are you here." I said loudly but there was no reply so I went up to the next floor to see him in bed, but something didn't seem right, his chest rose, and fell rather quickly.

"Winter are you feeling well?" I asked him but he did answer, so I walked up to the side of his bed. He was sweating, and breathed heavily.

I out a hand to his head to see he was burning up but that was impossible, he was supposed to be cold as ice. He started to cough as I took my hand away.

"Let's get you to a hospital, and let a doctor get a good look at you." I said as I got him up, and put his arm around the back of my neck, as I teleported the both of us to the hospital.

"Hey we need help." I said loudly then nurses up to me, and Winter.

"What happened?" They asked as she helped me carry him to a gurney.

"I came to his house, and I found in his bed breathing heavily so I checked him, and he was burning up, but I thought it was impossible." I explained, and they looked at me confused, so I then explained everything about his powers

"Umm i see, we'll try to find out what's wrong, and do what we can, you just relax in the lobby." The nurse told me as they rolled him away.

"Miss Rarity." I heard as I woke up suddenly I had fallen asleep while I waited.

"Yes what is it." I said while rubbing my eyes to see a doctor in front of me.

"Come with me, news has come in about your friend's condition." He told me, and I shoot up from my seat.

"Is he ok?" I asked, and he held up a hand to calm me.

"Yes he's ok but I thought you would want to know why he got sick, so would you please follow me." He said, then led me to Winter's room.

"So what did you find?" I asked then he reached for a metal plate, then showed me a ring.

"We found this on his finger, and when the nurse took it off his trustee begin to drop rapidly, and now we have a very good idea how cold he is while he is as cold on ice, in the outside on the inside he is much, much colder making it impossible for germs to get him sick so he had never built up a resistance to them." He explained, as he handed me the ring.

"So he's not sick anymore?" I asked him, and he nodded.

"Yes once his temperature dropped his breathing went back to normal, and he seemed to relax, he should be up within the hour, so you can rest easy now?" He told me then he held up a finger. "But if he decides to put on that ring again I suggest he came here first, so we can observe his condition." He told me then he gave me a bill.

"You can also give him this after he was up, student be a problem for him to pay." He said before leaving the room.

{ 49 minutes later Winter POV}

I felt the coldness on my body once again as I opened me eyes to see I wasn't in my room but in a hospital bed.

"What happened while I was asleep?" I asked as I sat up, the expected myself to see if I was injured but I wasn't.

I got out of bed to see Rarity had fallen asleep on a chair, while holding my ring. I took it from her, and put it in my pocket then proceed to gently shack her, while saying.

"Hey wake up." I said, as she woke up.

"Oh you're awake that's good." Rarity said.

"Can you tell me why I'm in the hospital?" I asked her as she stood up.

"I came over to your house, and saw you had a fever so I brought you here." She told me then told me everything the doctors told her.

"I see I'll be sure to be more careful from now on." I told her then after paying the hospital bill, me and Rarity we used to grab something to eat, so we went to sugar cube corner.

I ordered a few cupcakes while she ordered ice cream, I was really enjoying her company and I enjoyed having her around.

I pulled my ring out of my pocket, and put it on. "Winter What are you doing?" Rarity asked.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to wear it long." I told her as I felt my body start to warm up.

I breathed out a long sigh as I leaned back against me chair. "Are you alright Winter?" Rarity asked me.

"Yes it's just I can finally feel something other than the cold now, and it's just puts me at ease." I told her, and I felt her grab one of my hands, and I looked to see Rarity had a smile on her face.

I grabbed hand with my other and flipped it over, as I ran my thumb over her palm. I felt at peace as I did this, and I took deep breaths as I looked at her hand.

"Is something wrong?" She asked getting me to look up at her.

"No it's just been so long since I felt someone's warmth." I said quietly, before closing my eyes to just enjoy the moment before taking my hands away, and take off the ring.

Pinkie just arrived as I put it in my pocket and she gave us our orders me my cupcakes, and Rarity her ice cream.

After eating we went to my place for a bit to talk about recent stuff.

"So can you tell me a little more about Atlas." Rarity asked me.

"Well atlas was the most advanced of the kingdoms since we did have any other choice but to adapt or die in the freezing cold of the North." I explained.

"Im think you might have mentioned that before." Rarity told me then we both got up from our chairs but as we did we found ourselves right in front of each other, and a giant blush appeared on Rarity's cheeks, and my heart started pounding just like it did for Tiffany.

We stood there for what felt like an eternity before we kissed, and I fell back in my chair pulling Rarity with me she sat on my lap as we aggressively made out not caring for what was going on around us.

We don't know how long we kissed but when we did we could only stare into each other's eyes.

"Rarity I." I said but she put a finger to my lips as she said.

"Don't say anything let's just enjoy the moment." She said before giving me one final kiss before she laid her head on my chest, and my heart still pounded in my chest, but it seemed to only put her at ease as she closed her eyes to listen.

I put a hand on her head, and ran my fingers through her hair as I closed my eyes, and relaxed.
