With all the gifts unwrapped and their friends gone and their children upstairs playing games, Maverick, Ocean Soul, and Gentle Star sat closely to one another, drinking tea, enjoying one another’s company. Ocean Soul smiled at Maverick, smooching his cheek gently, causing him to blush.

“Mmm… another successful Hearth’s Warming Eve…” She purred into his ears. She then turned towards Gentle Star. “And another very happy birthday to my closest marefriend ever.” She said, raising her mug to her.

Gentle Star smiled, raising her mug. “Here’s to the two of you; my closest friends! May we be friends forever and ever!”

Maverick grinned, raising his mug, and then smooching Ocean Soul on the cheek. “Hehe… I just hope that you took Milky Way and Andrewmeda’s surprise well, too…”

Gentle Star giggled. “I’m so excited for the two of them!”

Ocean Soul then turned towards Maverick. “Speaking of surprises, my dear…” She said, taking another sip of her tea, then turning towards him. “I have a… umm… last minute gift for you.” She told him.

Maverick raised an eyebrow. “Hmm? What is it?”

Ocean giggled. “You will get it. I just need you and Gentle Star to leave the room for a minute as I get it ready…”

Maverick and Gentle Star gave a confused look for a moment before they took one last sip of their tea, and began to trot towards the kitchen. Once they were inside, Ocean Soul snickered as she began preparations, leaving the two alone.

“What does she have planned?” Maverick asked.

“I don’t know…” Gentle Star replied.

“Come on, you two are so close. You can tell me…” Maverick probed.

“I honestly don’t know!” Gentle Star told him. She then changed the subject. “So… Apricot and your foals…”

“What about them?” Maverick asked.

“I just want her safe with them.” Gentle Star told Maverick.

Maverick chuckled. “Don’t worry, they are.”

Gentle Star got closer. “You promise they will be OK?”

Maverick’s face dropped. “Gentle… you’ve known me and Ocean for a while. I promise that nothing bad will happen to them.”

Gentle Star then shook her head. “I’m sorry… sometimes I get protective of my daughter…”

Maverick smiled, placing a hoof on her shoulder. “You’re a good mother to care for her.”

Gentle Star smiled and embraced Maverick. Hearing those words from him seemed to place her mind at ease. As they continued to embrace, however, they heard a voice out in the distance…

“Oh Mavie… your present is waiting…” Ocean Soul called out. Gentle Star and Maverick smiled as they trotted out of the kitchen and into their living room. Once back there, they were surprised to see Ocean Soul by the tree, thinking that she was wrapping the gift. As they got closer, however, they saw that she WAS the gift. She had wrapped herself in ribbon, and there was a nametag on her; TO: MAVERICK. Both Maverick and Gentle Star blushed heavily as they saw her exposing herself.

“So… you like what you see?” Ocean Soul giggled.

“I… uhhh… mmm…” Maverick began to stutter out, trying to find the right words.

“Don’t be shy. It’s my gift to you.” Ocean Soul winked at him, adjusting herself slightly.

Gentle Star looked on, but giggled at Maverick. “You are a lucky stallion, Maverick…” She teased him.

Ocean Soul winked at Gentle Star. “Perhaps it’s time for you to… enjoy your last gift, Mavie…” She giggled, looking at him.

“And it’s my que to get some sleep…” Gentle Star added, closing her eyes, smiling gently.

Maverick gently licked his lips as he picked up Ocean Soul, carrying her on his back as all three made their way upstairs to their bedrooms, with Gentle Star taking the guest bedroom. The doors shut behind them, Maverick placed Ocean Soul on their bed, taking out a pair of scissors to cut off the ribbon. He then smirked at her as she lay on the bed, waiting for her man.

“Happy Hearth’s Warming Eve, my love…” Maverick whispered, crawling into bed with Ocean Soul.

“Happy Hearth’s Warming Eve, my beloved…” Ocean hissed back, placing both hooves on this cheek as she kissed him deeply on the lips, the two lovers holding one another close… (c) Andrew Faehling Strike-Of-The-Ninja User Profile | DeviantArt
