To gain knowledge

[Fenris]

Fenris kept eye contact with Twilight as she spoke, listening closely. He felt his heart flutter as he heard the words. Could it be... at that point he realised he would need to say it.

"I still remember my first crush... it would be really hard for me to forget..." He felt a wide grin settle on his face his blush very clear at this point.

"Seeing as I'm staring right at her..."

[Twilight Sparkle]

Twilight felt heart stop. She never had felt so... So... She couldn't find the words to describe how she felt. At this point she was beyond shyness. Not to say she wasn't crimson red, which she was very much so. All she could to was stare into Fenris's eyes, her chest feeling strangely warm. She felt drawn in closer to Fenris, almost as if it were a magnetic pull, bringing Twilight in.

[Fenris]

Fenris kept looking at Twilight seeing the rather violent blush on her face, he knew he was sporting something very similar right now. He saw her eyes and felt the world recede from them, there was only him and her...

He slowly leaned closer to Twilight not breaking the eye contact and planted a light kiss on top of her muzzle slightly above her lips. He kept looking at her wondering how she would react...

[Twilight Sparkle]

Twilight had little time to react until she had already been kissed. She drew back initially, shocked that that just happened. After she regained the ability to breath, however, she got close again. Her heart was in control at this point, blocking out Twilight's usual rational thought. If there were ever a time to act, it would be now. She leaned in and kissed Fenris on the lips. That was what she had really wanted.

[Fenris]

Fenris saw Twilight drew back after his kiss, but didn't take his eyes off of her. He noticed her lean back in, but didn't have time to react and when he felt her lips on his he just went with it.

He leaned towards her himself and raised one hoof behind her head gently pulling her towards him. He ended the kiss once his lungs started burning from the lack of air, he didn't let her go, but instead pulled her closer nuzzling the side of her face. He left a quick kiss on her cheek before pulling himself back pressing their noses together.

"That felt nice... wanna try it again?" He was looking straight into Twilight's eyes with a warm smile on his lips as he felt Twilight's breath on them.

[Twilight Sparkle]

Twilight drew back from the kiss breathing quickly. Her mind was reeling, trying to take control once more. Fenris was right, it had felt nice. Better than she had ever imagined. Once she regained her clear thinking, she was sure she would shy away, or slow down a bit.

As she got to thinking, she realized it really didn't matter. Twilight wasn't a filly, but a mare. She could make her own decisions in life, so did it matter if she indulged in some kissing? Actually, Twilight wasnt sure if that was really her mind speaking, but it sounded to convincing to argue with at a time like this.

She looked Fenris in the eyes, not sure of her decision, but knowing it was final. "Yes. I-... I do, Fenris." And she leaned in and planted another kiss on his lips, and savoring every moment of it as if it were the last it would ever happen to her.

[Fenris]

Fenris leaned in for the second kiss thinking that he could get used to this. He breathed in thorugh his nose and the scent of Twilight filled his nose. When the kiss ended Fenris stood still for a moment longer looking at Twilight then turned toward his saddlebags, his tail brushing against her as he walked by.

He opened the bags and picked up a blanket which he spread across the hill in single deft move. He then reached into the other bag pulling out few bottles of apple juice and a package of sandwiches. He placed them on one edge of the blanket and then gestured for Twilight to sit down.

"I wasn't quite sure what to make so I just made some different sandwiches... I hope you like them." He smiled at Twilight and waited for her to settle down before sitting down close to her and taking a look at the sunset before returning his eyes to the beautiful mare next to him.

[Twilight Sparkle]

Twilight was lost in the sheer euphoria of the events that had just transpired. She leaned slightly against Fenris, enjoying the moment. She sipped at her juice, and somewhat forced herself to eat the sandwich. It was hard to eat after she just lived out something so magical she could only dream of. Although it went against Twilight's nature, she tried not to question it.

For awhile they just relaxed in the crisp air. She inched closer to him, leeching his warmth. She felt sleepy, entranced by her happiness and wanting to just fall nap against Fenris. She was afraid to give into it, lest she wake up and it all have been a dream. But as she fought, Fenris's side felt more and more inviting. She would just... Close her eyes.... For one.... Second....

[Fenris]

Fenris felt Twilight lean against him and soon found himself laying down on the blanket Twilight having fallen asleep against his side. He looked down at the peaceful form of the beautiful mare, he had felt like going flying moments before, but now all those thoughts had evaporated as he realised that this was where he really wanted to be.

He spread his free wing over Twilight as he observed the sun disappearing behind the horizon plunging the world into twilight. He smiled at the notion and then rested his head agains his forehooves, curling himself slightly around Twilight embracing her even as he felt his own eyelids starting to droop. His last thoughts before sleep claimed him were about the mare under his wing.

[Twilight Sparkle]

Twilight squeezed her eyes tight, trying to block out the light. Finally she gave up and just decided to awake. She looked around noticing this was not her room. It all rushed back to her in a single second. She looked to her left to find Fenris resting peacefully. She couldn't help but smile. She had to remember to thank Rarity later. Alot.

She tried to slide from his side without waking him. She started to worry about her mane once she was on her hooves. What if it was all tangled? Would he notice? Would he care? What if she looked groggy? Now Twilight knew how Rarity felt every day. She tried not to think about it too much. She layed in front of Fenris and nudged him with her muzzle. "Hey, wake up Fenris." She said sweetly.

[Fenris]

Fenris heard the voice calling for him and smiled even before opening his eyes to see Twilight right in front of him. He had always been fast to wake up and this time was no different. He noticed her slightly frazzled mane, which he though looked cute and then leaned forwards giving her a kiss on the lips.

"Good morning, Twilight, I hope you slept well?" He rose to a sitting position spreading his wings fully open as he spoke.

He then started making slow movements with his wings stretching them so that if he needed to fly he wouldn't sprain anything. After finishing the stretching he moved to sit next to Twilight and looked over the lake that was reflecting the sunlight. He then closed his eyes and leaned slightly towards Twilight feeling her coat brush against his, he was starting to feel like that the smile on his face was becoming a permanent feature, at least as long as he was around her.

[Twilight Sparkle]

Twilight felt the kiss awaken her fully. She smiled and replied to Fenris "I slept great thanks to you." Twilight looked out at the lake with Fenris for awhile. She thought about going home. Spike was probably worried sick about her. Suddenly the world went from a carefree paradise to a slightly less carefree paradise. She tried to enjoy it a few more moments before she stood up.

"I have to get home, Fenris. My baby dragon is probably worried and wondering about me." She felt a little sad they had to part. When would they meet again? Twilight felt giddy that she had a coltfriend finally. "You can walk with me, if you don't have any place to be that is." She added for Fenris. She moved with a spring in her step and a smile on her face.

[Fenris]

Fenris looked at Twilight and moved to nuzzle her. He then picked up the empty bottles and put them into his saddlebags before folding the blanket with practiced ease and fitted it into the bags. He then looked around the place to see if there was anything he had missed, after seeing that all the things had been picked up he slipped the saddlebags on and turned to Twilight.

"It would be my pleasure to walk you home, besides what kind of gentlecolt would I be if I didn't do that." He grinned at Twilight and walked right next to her.

He gestured down the path smiling at her.

"Shall we?"

[Twilight Sparkle]

As Twilight began to walk down the path keeping close to Fenris, she began to let her mind wander. Fenris... He was so handsome, and sweet, and caring, and polite... Just about everything she could ever ask for, really. This was pretty much all she thought the whole walk, but she was content in doing so. After awhile, she spoke up.

"By the way, Fenris, where do you live?" She asked simply because she realised she didn't know. It would be nice to know where to find him in case she ever wanted to see him short notice. There was quite a bit she didn't know about Fenris. One day they would just have to sit down and talk about each other. It might be boring for others to just talk, but doing anything with Fenris was fun to her.

[Fenris]

Fenris slowed down a bit in response to Twilight's question, he had let his mind wander as they had walked, but now he focused once again. Taking stock of their surroundings for a moment he then pointed to a direction that was slightly to the side from the library.

"I have a small house on the outskirts of Ponyville in that direction. I don't spend too much time there though. I usually sleep and eat there and spend rest of my time either working or wandering about Ponyville and the surrounding areas, either walking or flying, usually bit of both." He then sped up to catch up with Twilight and the fell into step with her, their hooves hitting the ground at the same time creating slightly echoing sound with every step.
