Courage in a Kiss

Published:

Description

Here we see two boyfriends sharing their first kiss: Tuff Build, a geeky, three-times champion bodybuilder, and Fine Quilt, apprentice blacksmith and one-time champion cider-drinker. 

Once simply a fan watching from afar, Quilt was surprised to find Tuff as an incredibly sociable pony during off-show hours, if depressingly lonely.  Nopony else, not friend or family or even passing fan, seemed to notice Tuff when his show was over.  And after several shots and a drunken debate about robbing banks with goat mounts and holy hand grenades, Tuff and Quilt were fine friends indeed.  Tuff let Quilt watch his long routine in his personal gym at home, and Quilt let Tuff watch
him craft swords and armor with his teacher.  They shared drinks and beat each other up at a local fighting class during the week, and waxed philosophy while apologizing endlessly to each other for their bruises during the weekend. 

And they found their time increasingly enraptured in one another's business, to the point that, three years to the day from their first encounter, they began to tease the idea of becoming more.  But it was so many months after before poor Tuff, whose heart, once denied subsistence too long, now bloomed with the sweet fruit of love, could finally share this moment with his Fine Quilt. 

When you grow to love a friend, sometimes you wonder if all those moments spent together, all those sweet nothings you told each other, might lead to something more, or if it will all simply die with enough time given.  There is a certain courage needed, with maybe a little selfishness, to share your heart with your friend.  Love can seem so fleeting nowadays, and at times we wonder if it's even worth the pain.  Take that moment, I say; cast away all worries and think for the now, and be happy that you did it.  You may only get the one chance, if that person you love drifts away and you did nothing.  Love made brief is not suddenly made meaningless.

And sometimes all you need is a single moment, a single kiss, to know that your love is shared.  :kiss:

I know I'm late to the Valentines Day train, but I didn't really make this out of festivities.  I wanted to practice thinner lines and my general shading and lighting techniques, if only to have an excuse to make something romantic for this account again.  With that, I give you adorable gay ponies.  Am I alone in thinking that gay technicolor ponies are absolutely adorable?  I may be biased given my own preferences, but still... isn't it just so precious? < : 3

Also, I apologize if the story above is horribly contrite, pretentious, silly, conflict-free, or any combination of negative words you can think of; this was whipped up in half an hour with no editing at all, just spur of the moment story behind this pic.  Still, I feel very proud of it, and hope you all like it.  :heart:  Keep spreading the love!
