Love has everything to do with it
Chapter 46
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter Midnight’s little shock treatment toward one of his brides, he had finally been caught by her in the palace gardens. Although he was still laughing, he couldn’t help but cringe a little at the glare that Celestia was giving him. That was of course, until he noticed her mouth begin to crack into a slight smile.
The only thing left to do was make that frown finally break and turn into a smile. So he did the only thing he could think of at that moment. He placed a hoof over his mouth and blew, making his cheeks puff out and cross his eyes.
What happened next was a memory he will forever cherish as Celestia let out a very loud snort as she attempted to hold in a laugh by covering her mouth. Midnight on the other hoof only adding insult to injury as he continued making stupid faces at her.
After a couple of seconds he finally had her on the ground laughing so hard she couldn’t breathe. The only thing to come out of her was a non-verbal laugh as there was no air left in her lungs to make her vocal cords work.
After finally coming to a stop with making funny faces, he trotted over to Celestia whom was now finally composing herself after almost passing out from the lack of air. Once she had finally got her breathing back to normal, her glare returned, but only for a moment as she began to giggle softly.
“You do realize you are the only pony to truly make me laugh this hard after doing something that surprises me like that.” She tittered softly as she got back to her hooves.
“I do try my best when it comes to the shock and awe treatment.” He grinned as he nudged her playfully.
“Sometimes I think you try too hard. But still, it is quite amusing, even if it is at the most inopportune of times.” She sighed, rolling her eyes as he chuckled.
“I think Discord’s chaotic nature is rubbing off on me.” He grinned to her causing her to sigh.
“That is what I’m afraid of.”
“And why is that? Isn’t it a good thing to have a husband that can be a little random at times? Even if he has to do royal doodies at times?” He snickered as he watched Celestia’s face contort for a moment at his pronunciation of the word before letting out a snort once again before covering her mouth.
“MIDNIGHT!” *giggle* “You had best watch your tongue while in the castle. Some ponies may not find your sense of humor to be all that... inspiring.” She tittered again.
“I know, but it’s still fun to get you to snort like that.” He grinned evilly. “I have never seen anypony else make you do that, well, except for Twilight.” He chuckled at the thought.
“I think she only does what she does because you’ve corrupted her poor little mind.” She smirked as she gave him a playful nudge.
“Naaaaaaah, I think she does it only because she finds you to be attractive.” He grinned again seeing Celestia’s face burn a bright red.
“W-what!?” She squeaked out in surprise before seeing him holding back a laugh. “Why you!” She began before seeing his face turn back into a cocky grin. “You’re serious aren’t you?”
“As a heart attack.” He laughed. “You’d be surprised how much she talks in her sleep.”
“Really?” The alabaster Alicorn stated with a curious tone to her voice. “Yet she has never come forward to speaking of such a thing to me.” She stated as she came to a halt, her hoof coming up to her own chin and rubbing it in curiosity.
“DO NOT tell her I said anything, she’ll turn me into a foal for a year straight if she finds out that I know anything, much less having told you.” He groaned out as he rolled his eyes at the thought.
“Really?” Celestia grinned evilly as she began to trot ahead of him.
“Tiiiiiiaaaaaaa! Don’t you dare!” He chuckled nervously as he began to trot after her only to bolt after her as she began to run off giggling like a school filly that had just found out a juicy secret and wanted to tell everypony.
After several minutes of chasing the Sun Goddess, they had finally arrived back at her chambers. It was already later in the day but the sun had not reached the horizon just yet. So the ambiance within her chambers was quite surreal as the horizon began to darken into the night that was slowly coming. A hint of light ebbing closer to it signalling the presence of the moon before it was to rise into the night sky.
As the two Alicorns entered into the room, they noticed that Rarity and Twilight were already at the bed, placing pillows here and there, along with laying in various spots to try and find a comfortable spot.
“Tia, you had better not! I told you that in confidence!” Midnight whispered angrily to her, she only grinning like a bandit.
“You never said it was my dear.” She tittered. “Besides, I am quite interested in the prospect. I mean, we are all married are we not? And you did end up taking a nap on our first night together.” She grinned toward the dark Alicorn as his mane and tail turned a blistering pink.
“That’s not fair; you know how I am about that whole thing. I mean, having four lovers and then having to perform for all of them at the same time? That is a hard hit to my ego if I don’t do it right.” He groaned softly to her only to make her giggle.
“Practice makes perfect dear, does it not?” She grinned as she bit his ear gently, giving it a tug.
The dark Alicorn pulled back giving a slightly shocked expression as he spoke. “You horny ol’mare!” He laughed seeing he grin.
“Decades without a lover will do that to you my dear. Now hush, I have a question for my student.” She smirked, only to make Midnight facehoof as they finally reached the bed, halting the conversation between the white and lavender unicorns.
“Twilight my dear, I have a rather... odd... question to ask you.” Celestia stated as she smiled backwards to Midnight who was slowly backing away. A glance being exchanged between the teacher and the student.
“Uh... Ok? You know you can ask me anything, Tia.” Twilight smiled as she walked around her and to the side of the bed so Midnight could see her a little better, Rarity taking up a spot on the bed, laying down and placing her forehooves under her chin as she watched the conversation play out.
“Well... the other night.” She began, causing Midnight to visibly tense up. “The other night you were... talking in your sleep.” She stated, causing Twilight to begin to blush. “You were... asking me... asking me to kiss you.” She paused seeing Twilight’s body start to burn a bright red in embarrassment.
“Oh my goodness!” Rarity spoke in shock, a grin plastered across her face.
“I... I-I-I-I-I.” Twilight stuttered badly as she couldn’t find the words, her hair starting to become visibly disheveled.
“I was wondering, since we are all a family now. You know that I’m not against such things.” She smiled as she leaned down slightly.
The two began to slowly move closer to one another as the distance separating them began to shorten. The whole scene being watched by Midnight and Rarity. Their eyes began to close slowly as the distance began to come to a close, their lips parting slightly as they were about to touch. In the last moment they stopped, turning their vision back to Midnight who was now having a panic attack. His mane and tail a neon pink at the sight before him.
“Too far?” Twilight asked as she grinned to Celestia.
“Nope.” She stated as she pressed forward, kissing her student.
*THUD*
They broke the kiss, turning back to Midnight who was now passed out from shock on the floor. His mane and tail non-existent as he lay there.
“I think you just reached that point darlings.” Rarity giggled as she jumped from the bed and trotted over to the Dark Alicorn just as his mane and tail began to flicker back to life.
“Ugh.... What happened?” Midnight groaned as he slowly pulled himself upright, shaking his head to clear the fog. Once his eyes fell onto Celestia he began to glare at her upon seeing her look away and whistle innocently. His vision fell onto Twilight who was grinning slightly before smiling as well.
“You two... are quite possibly, thee, most evil ponies I have ever met.” He groaned.
The two turned to him grinning before Twilight spoke up.
“But you can’t help but love being trolled by us from time to time though, right? If you didn’t, then you wouldn’t have a reason to play pranks on us again. Unless you’re just being an ass of course.” She giggled.
“But isn’t he always an ass darling?” Rarity giggled, only to cause Midnight to glare at her for a moment before his horn lit up, pulling her towards him. “NO! Don’t you DARE!” She squealed as she tried to get away from the magical grasp.
“You dare, insult me, then demand me not to retaliate?! I do believe you must enjoy my torture.” Midnight laughed as he turned her onto her back in mid-air and pressed his lips to her belly causing her to squeal loudly. The others laughing at Rarity’s plight, but pausing as Midnight glared at them as well.
“Don’t you two go anywhere; you’re next for that little insult and tease.” He grinned before going back to torturing Rarity. The others laughing as they bolted for the door.
