"I'm fine, don't worry." Starshy dismissed his mild concern. She couldn't tell him what she had been thinking/feeling. He wasn't one to show much emotion - seemed like it was mostly her making the moves. Her emotions always were on her sleeves and sometimes she hated that. Why couldn't she be more aloof like Chocolate was with his? She was beginning to wonder if he honestly loved her as much as he said. The young mare's ears perked up when he began to speak of his folks. They sounded like kind and hardworking parents. It made all the more sense with how Chocolate is. She began to eat her omelet, chewing thoughtfully. When he asked the question back, she quickly swallowed before talking. "My father, Night Star, works for the Royal Guard in Canterlot. He's usually just another guard but if the captain is away, he'll take over as leader. My mother, Star Bright, is the assistant to Princess Celestia. If there is anything that the princess needs done, my mom does it."

Starshy blushed, sitting down. Her plate was floating in front of her and she brought it down to the table. She was trying very hard to rid of the sudden unmare like thoughts. Chocolate was being such a gentle stallion, she just wanted to jump on him and have her way with him. It was obviously too soon for anything more intimate. They had hugged, nuzzled, and kissed. Although what she was thinking would go beyond that. Starshy needed to get her mind off of such things, as she wiggled in her seat a bit. "So, Chocolate. Tell me about your folks."

Starshy was busily cooking and humming to herself that she hadn't realized Chocolate was near. That is, as she smelled the omelets, there was a hint of chocolate in the air. She then felt him nuzzle her and she giggled in responds. Her horn had been glowing but it faded away, as she wasn't contracting on the food anymore. " No, don't worry about it. " Starshy replied, looking over at him. " Breakfast is ready anyway, so just go have a seat. I'll be joining you in a minute. "

Starshy was whisking eggs in a bowl with her magic. She turned head at the sound of Chocolate's voice. She wanted to say that she had things under control, it was just breakfast. He wanted to help though, that much was clear. "You can help by setting the table." She said, gesturing with her head at the table in the kitchen. She went back to her task, starting to chop up some vegetables on a cutting board. As she worked, she smiled to herself. Her first time in bed with a stallion! It was truly remarkable. Sure, not like what some pony might think if they heard this, but it was still wonderful and everything she had wanted. She couldn't help humming to herself as she put the cropped vegetables into the bowl of whisked eggs. Starshy then began to cook the eggs in a skillet, swishing her tail as she did so.

After sharing a most pleasant kiss with Chocolate, she smiled sweetly. " Good Morning. I did sleep well, how 'bout you? " She asked, pulling her hoof from under the covers. She then stroked the side of Chocolate's face with her hoof affectionately. " Sorry to have startled you, but I couldn't resist. " She said, moving her hoof away. Starshy used her magic to lift the covers away from the both of them, and she hopped out of bed. " I'll go get breakfast ready. How does omelets sound to you? "

The next morning, Starshy's eyelids fluttered open. Her eyes glanced up at Chocolate's sleeping face. He looked so peaceful and relaxed. As she looked at him, her thoughts were back to what happened yesterday. In particular though, last night on her mind the most. She had never been intimate with another stallion, not since Storm anyway, and that had been so long ago. She had longed for a moment like this, waking up to the sight of a handsome stallion in her bed. It was her secret fantasy, along with going all the way with him. She blushed at the thought, knowing that was likely not going to happen between her and Chocolate for a while. She was alright with waiting, it'd certainly be worth it. Starshy scooted her face closer to Chocolate's, and before she could chicken out, gently presses her muzzle against his.

Starshy was about to apologize from hearing his small outcry to licking him. However, studing his face, she quickly realized he wasn't that upset as she initially believed. She giggled at his words, and she shook her head. "I said I wouldn't bite you. Licking isn't biting." She clarified. When he asked about if she thought he was strange for this, a puzzled expression appeared upon her face. "No! I love that you smell and taste like chocolate. It's one of my favorite sweet treats." Starshy scooted closer to him, snuggling against his warm large body. Closing her eyes, a yawn escaped. "Mmm...Goodnight Chocolate."

She could tell that he was just as nervous, but grateful that he wasn't disgusted with her for wanting to do this. Her nerves seemed to lessen as he crawled in beside her. She smiled at him as he nuzzled his head against her own, and she could smell the chocolate on him again. Starshy licked the lower part of her muzzle. It smelled delicious, like melting chocolate. She had done that before in Sugarcube Corner (tempering chocolate that is) and the smell was similar. Sometimes it would be different depending on the type of chocolate, but this was pretty much the same. She wondered if he also tasted like it. Would it be weird if she did that? They were both comfortable with each other, for the most part, seeing as they were sharing her bed together. Her curiosity got the better of her, her tongue coming out from the carven of her mouth and she licked the side of Chocolate's muzzle. Her taste bubs were met with the sensation of licking the said melted chocolate. It was quite incredible. " You really /do/ taste like it too. "

" I love you, Chocolate. How could I not trust you? I feel like I can trust your judgment. " Starshy sat down on her bed, which was twice it's size now. It could easily fit the both of them comfortably. She lifted a hoof to her muzzle in thought. She then lowered it and scooted over to the right side of the bed, using her magic to lift the sheets and climb into them. She patted the empty space next to her in invitation to Chocolate. " D-Don't be nervous, I won't bite. " She said, unable to keep the slight nervousness out of her own voice. Her face was a pinkish red and would make a strawberry jealous.

Starshy nodded, "Yes, I'm sure you will fit. When I cast the spell on the house to expand it, some of the furniture expanded as well. That couch you are sitting was not that size before." She explained with a sheepish grin. She let go of Chocolate, moving away from him and walking toward the stairs. She motioned to him that he should follow as she trotted up the steps. Her heart was running a bit, they would just be sleeping. Nothing else, it was completely harmless. Not to say that may one night she'd like it to be more but for now this certainly was enough.

Starshy shuddered with an unexpected pleasure of him touching her horn. She wanted him to keep going, but the rubbing stopped as soon as it started. She lifted her head back up. " It's ok, Chocolate. It makes me happy that you are so curious about my magic." Glancing out at the window by the front door she noticed it was dark outside and probably late. They had spent a lot of time just talking, which was nice. Starshy glanced back at her colt friend. "So, um, it's pretty late now. Shall we head to bed?" She blushed at her words.

At his request, she gave him a warm smile. She couldn't help it, he was just too adorable whenever he wanted to know more about her magic and her horn. It tickled her somehow. Storm, the Pegasus that she had a brief relationship with at the resort, had never asked about her magic. Then again they hadn't been together long enough, but she thought maybe he'd ask. The questions never arose. Being with Chocolate, on the other hoof, it seemed to be a normal part of their conversation. Not that Starshy minded at all. She was more than happy to explain her magic to her new coltfriend. " Of course, Chocolate. You can touch it. " She said, titling her head down slightly, pointing her horn at him. She wondered if any other unicorn had been asked this question, and it was fairly likely. Unicorn horns are very sensitive to touch, but as long as it's gentle it generally doesn't hurt at all. It would be like a light touch of her muzzle or leg.

Starshy could immediately smell him the moment she embraced him. It was a wonderful pleasant chocolate aroma. "You smell so good." She remarked, loosing her grip on him. She didn't look embarrassed for her second, third bold move? Who was counting? They were together now and she felt comfortable being this close to him.

"I love you, Star." Starshy leap out of her seat, and embraced Chocolate (or at least what she could embrace). She was crying a bit, softly, out of happiness. " I love you too, Chocolate. So much. " She said between her small sniffling. She thought maybe her heart might burst from the overflow of emotions that she was feeling in this moment.

Starshy blushed at his words. She was fairly pleased to know that she was not the only one having those thoughts too. It probably was a bit forward of her. She had never asked a stallion to stay over night at her home before. Sure, she had cuddled with another stallion once, in a bed, but that was at a resort. She took another tiny sip of her drink, savoring the taste. She imagined it was what the stallion across from her must taste like. That thought made her turn pinkish again. "You have no idea how this makes me feel, Chocolate. I've been so lonely. Working at the Sugarcube corner has always been a reminder that I didn't have anyone special in my life. Many couples come in asking for wedding cakes, anniversary cakes, birthday cakes for their little foals....and I was envious. " her face was slightly downcast as she spoke. "But seeing you again and being with you has brought back the happiness that I was longing for."

" No, silly. I'm just making hot chocolate. " Starshy glanced at him for a brief second, shaking her head. She then turned her attention back to the kettle that was heating up.Once the steam started to come out, she magically turned off the stove and carefully poured the hot water into two mugs. After she got the hot chocolate ready, she trotted back into the living room, the two mugs floating in midair with her levitation spell. She set them down on the table by the couch that Chocolate was sitting on. She sat on a single couch chair, getting comfortable. Starshy levitated her cup towards her, guiding it to be held between her hooves. She took a small sip, glancing at Chocolate. " I'm so happy you agreed. I was afraid you wouldn't. "

" From books. I've read a lot of books about magic. " Starshy replied, as she trotted into her bigger kitchen space. Everything was still in the same places but the kitchen itself had expanded and it was much spacer than she was use to. It was a small matter though, using her magic once again to get some coco mix from a shelf and levitating it over to the counter by the stove. " You are welcome to have a seat somewhere. Don't need to stand there in the doorway. " She added from a moment, getting some water for the kettle.

"...I love to spend the night... with you." The white unicorn mare breathed out a sigh of relief. After all this time worrying about it the whole day, he had accepted. Starshy looked much chipper now, turning to face the front door and used her magic to open it. Licking the lower part of her muzzle, her horn suddenly became much brighter than usual and the whole house was encased in the same glow - and her house was growing in size. She was making it more suitable for Chocolate to walk around more comfortably. The spell was over as quickly as it started and Starshy's house looked a smudge different than before. She glanced back at Chocolate with a grin. " Now you won't be hitting your head on anything. " She said while going inside.

Starshy had been looking at the ground the whole time they were trotting back to her place. She had been trying to formulate the words in her head. By the time they reached her house, which didn't seem that long at all, she felt anxious again. There was a lump forming in her throat out of nervousness. " I- " She swallowed, trying again, " I- Chocolate... would... you maybe - stay here the night? " She looked up at him, flushing with embarrassment. " N-Not like.. we'd just.. " she was trying to explain, starting to pace back and fourth in an attempt to calm herself. She stopped her pacing after a moment, swallowing again. Her nervous eyes looked up at him once more. " Please? "

Starshy fell silent as he spoke, and with his words her initially worry melted away. She was pleased to hear that he had cared about her since the resort and had wanted to be with her as they were know. She smiled, nodding a bit. She glanced at the display case filled with all the treats and then back at Chocolate. She suddenly remember the question she had been meaning to ask him. She couldn't ask about that now though... " So um, shall we head back to my place? I could make you something like hot chocolate. "

Starshy suddenly felt bad for what she had said. He had looked so upset for a moment. Even though he had moved onto another subject, she still wanted to apologize. "Chocolate, I'm sorry. It's not as though I don't enjoy working on the farm with you. I just...didn't know how to come see you. I didn't know if you were still with the other mare you had met at the resort. I was holding myself back from coming to visit - knowing how much you are busy with your farming work. " she was rambling a bit, trying to get the words out.

Starshy couldn't help giggling a bit at all his sudden questions. " Yes, I do work here. From time to time. Mrs. Cake tends to get busy, and needs extra assistance aside from her husband." She explained, flicking her tail side to side as she spoke. The delicious smells coming from the back greeted her nostrils instantly, making her salivate. " It's fun, Mrs. Cake is a delight. She's so sweet - like the cupcakes and treats that she bakes. I took that job at your farm because... well, I wanted to see you again. The work was just an excuse, really.. " Starshy admitted sheepishly.

Starshy had enjoyed herself as well, the magic show was quite entertaining. She had glanced over a few times at Chocolate, finding the awed look on his face adorable. Then again, she was finding a lot of what Chocolate did to be cute. She could not help herself, not that she'd ever say. He might not like it if she said something he does was "cute". " Oh sure, I can show you Sugarcube Corner. It's a cute little bakery. It's just over this way. " Starshy grinned, trotting along ahead of him - suddenly seeming a bit edgier then usual. She wanted to ask Chocolate something rather embarrassing about tonight but was not sure how to bring up the subject. The last two nights he had bought her home - and he'd leave as usual. But tonight - she wanted him to stay with her. She didn't know if he'd even accept or consider it - not that she thought they'd /do/ anything - just the thought of cuddling up next to him as she fell asleep sounded so much more wonderful.
