⠀ ❝. . . Okay, this is the one time I don’t rely on love.❞

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ i’m obsessed with this scene and for what.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ there better be a shining armor around. 🗿

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ behold: matching layouts. give me a shining.

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ OH MY GOD

⠀ ❝Hm~ I’d be 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 well if my dashing Shining Armor were at my side!❞ [There she is! ♡]

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ i’m sorry, y’all. brainrot for those two and that’s it. i literally cannot write anything else. 😭

⠀ [A laugh ensues, immediately nuzzling 𝙝𝙚𝙧 true love as her eyes fall comfortably shut.] ❝You haven’t been working too hard, have you? I think we both have a history of draining our magic for protection, whether it’d be Canterlot or the Crystal Empire.❞

⠀ ❝Oh, good! With that alicorn magic of hers, who’d know what would happen when she isn’t being supervised.❞ [A smile traces her muzzle at the thought of her daughter, horn lying against his while leaning against his side.]

⠀ ❝I’m sure she wouldn’t mean it if that were to happen, right? I mean, since the incident with the Crystal Heart, she’d had to’ve grown since then.❞ [Eyes on her subjects, Cadence scans the roads of her kingdom while resting against her king.]

⠀ ❝More powerful than both of ours put together, dear.❞ [She corrects softly, pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek.]

⠀ [Where was her Twilight? Hm, only one way to find out. ♡] ❝Sunshine, sunshine! Ladybugs awake!❞

⠀ [His comment earns a laugh from the queen, resting her head against his and simply bathing in the love all around them.] ❝Do you think he has any counter-spells against mischievous alicorn fillies?❞

⠀ ❝Oh, no . . !❞ [Her laughter evolves into giggling, cheeks glowing faint pink from her husband’s affection.] ❝Should we stop by to make sure everything’s okay? I’d hate to leave our castle.❞

⠀ ⠀ ⠀⠀✎ ⨾ ─ i don’t do lewd, sorry.

⠀ ❝Good, ‘cause I’m 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 too comfortable to move my flank.❞ [Purred the princess, expanding a wing and wrapping it over the guard’s back like a blanket.]

⠀ ❝Good afternoon, everypony! Are we spreading love like the example I hoped to set?❞

⠀ ❝I know, Shiny, and I’m sorry. It’s just ─ my dear auntie has just been 𝙗𝙤𝙢𝙗𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 me with tasks to complete for the Crystal Empire. I feel as though I haven’t slept in days.❞ [A soft laugh left her, a few blinks making the bags under her eyes noticeable.]

⠀ ❝. . . A-Aunty?❞
