It's your birthday, just us and your birthday! [Private action to Morgan]

[neighfeni]

It was a lovely Tuesday eve as the couple exited the building nuzzled up against each other, neither really caring what other ponies thought as they laughed in tandem at some joke shared. It felt nice to laugh like this, especially considering the day before...but it wouldn't do any good to stay in and worry herself to sickness again. She did wish it had come at another time, but...hopefully Mae would be back soon. Until she returned, all Nephenee could do was go forward, and that included going ahead with plans made more than a bit ago. Besides, her coltfriend had a birthday to celebrate, so she'd do her best to help him with that, even if this was the night before. The party would be tomorrow, but she'd stolen him away tonight for some time alone, away from prying eyes...

Well, maybe not that last one, since they got looked at anyway. Whispers about how cute it was or something floated about, but her mind was very much focused on her Knight. She'd surprised him with not only the fact that she'd pretty much tackled him to the ground in a hug when she'd met him outside the dojo, but the little black dress, tail wrap, and overall simple, but radiant look had gotten a great reaction too! Neph knew Morgan liked black and he liked leg and he liked how she wore her dresses, so she just combined them, then whisked him off for dinner and dancing and anything he really wanted to do -within reason.

Her heart still pounded from the physical exertion of the dancing, or perhaps just being this close to him kept it at such a rate, but she was rather happy right now, even if it was tinged with a little melancholy, and she couldn't help but be a little happier knowing he'd love his other gifts. Because apparently, a bag-of-holding and a custom lance weren't enough for her to give!

She liked spoiling friends, alright? Plus the main one was from the family, so.

Sneaking a kiss to his cheek, the Sentinel sighed happily. This night was quite wonderful.

"So, enjoyin' your birthday yet, my Knight?"

"I don't know a damn thing," Morgan said, cheerfully though quietly to match the gentle mood. "I just tell you the truth."

And since she'd ducked her head down, she wouldn't see the kiss coming -- but she probably ought to expect it nonetheless.

[neighfeni]

It wasn't that unexpected, no, but it felt lovely all the same, and it did much to relax her.

Nephenee took a moment to let the memory of the kiss linger on her lips, then made a small, happy sigh. "S-sure this ain't...my birthday instead?"

[morganknight]

"Pretty sure, since I haven't been involved in any party planning." Neph wouldn't have gotten away so easily on HER birthday. Everyone would have wanted a piece of her time!

[neighfeni]

"Heh, n-no, no ya haven't." For a girl who kept thinking she was shy, she sure had a lot of friends!

Tucking her head under Morgan's throat again, Nephenee sighed happily, and just let herself enjoy being smooshed up against him, when an ear perked up. "...Speakin' o'birthday stuff, where's that furry present o'yours?" She was surprised the kitten wasn't back to climbing all over them!

[morganknight]

That's the thing about kittens -- they played hard right up until they got tired and then flopped right where they were. Morgan lifted one hoof, then his tail, at last turning up the little cat under the volumes of horsehair back there. "Comfortable, clearly."

[neighfeni]

Looking behind the Mage, Nephenee's lips turned up in a grin. "Aw...guess he ate a bunch, then tuckered himself out messin' with your tail. Silly lil' Cloud..." The kitten did, indeed, look very comfy under all the soft hair. "Maybe we should scoot over a bit so we don't wake him." They weren't exactly a quiet pair, after all.

[morganknight]

"We could always go on the couch," Morgan said with a sly grin and a sidelong look at the Sentinel.

[neighfeni]

Even if she hadn't seen that slightly naughty smile, Nephenee could hear it in his voice well enough, and colored slightly. This boy had a way of making her do that, didn't he? But she'd be insane to deny him. As if she would, anyway!

"W-we could..." The mare, silly as she was, motioned to it. "P-pretty fellas first..."

[morganknight]

Oh Nephenee.

You'd TOTALLY missed the implication again, hadn't you.

Laughing, Morgan scooped a hoof around her waist, the better to haul her over right with him. With a tug, he pulled her down on top of him as he flopped back onto the couch, hooves all going every which way.

[neighfeni]

It's Nephenee, it wouldn't be a proper DAY if she didn't miss implications! In fact, they'd flown off out the window and the moon ponies would probably see them floating by, they'd gone over her head so much!

"Oh!" Well hello, getting tugged onto him and the couch! "H-hi there!" The mare squeaked down at him, blinking a bit in a startled fluster.

[morganknight]

No time for talk now -- Morgan snaked out his hooves to catch her neck and tug her down for kissing. Fierce and happy kissing.

[neighfeni]

Another squeak escaped her, but it was effectively quashed when her muzzle hit his, and it soon became a happy purr as they smooched.

A girl could really get used to this!

As much as she would have liked it to last longer, eventually she did have to break it, her head flopping onto his shoulder and her throat vibrating in a nicker. "Wooooo...." was all Morgan got out of his girlfriend for the moment.

[morganknight]

Beneath her, Morgan was breathing heavily, his eyes shut as he focused on calming himself down. The night had done nothing to diminish his fierce attraction to the girl, after all.

"Yeah," he finally murmured. "A good birthday. Really good birthday."

[neighfeni]

There was an agreeable noise from the farm pony on top of him at that. "All we're...missin' is some sparrin', huh?"

Once again missing all the implications there, she continued, "..heh, ya know what'd be fun? 'S if they have kissin' as a competition at the Games..."

[morganknight]

You make Morgan's life very difficult, Neph.

"I'd die," he said, cheerfully. "If you were kissing me competitively, I'd die."

[neighfeni]

It's in the job description for the 'Morgan's girlfriend' listing. 'Give cuddles, support, drive insane with unintentional sexiness'...

"Well, maybe Ah oughta not do that, then. Can't smooch an' snuggle ya, then. Reckon ya need to be livin' for that."

[morganknight]

"Well, not necessarily, but it's super weird and creepy if I'm not," he said, grinning up at her.

[neighfeni]

Her nose scrunched up at that. "Ew." Was her response, before she bonked him in the head with her own. "No dying, not allowed."

Not that she knew yet about certain things in Morg's past, but she'd learn soon enough.

Deciding she was quite comfortable here, though, Nephenee let her head flop against him with little in the way of grace. "Ya know, even with it bein' real warm out an' us both bein' hot natured, this ain't half-bad."

[morganknight]

"No it is not." Morgan barely noticed the heat; something about it being another pony made it far easier to bear than it would otherwise be. Plus the pleasure of her pressed up against him far outweighed the downside. "Let's make a habit of it, huh?"

[neighfeni]

It was pretty pleasant being squished up against him like this. In fact, it was pleasant in a way she couldn't quite place, and probably wouldn't be able to for quite some time.

"That sounds like a good habit. Make it a daily thing an' we can practice an' get better at it." Eat, train, snuggle?

[morganknight]

"Mmmm," Morgan responded, the sort of noise Neph would also later come to understand very well. "I like the way you think. AND feel."
