>You awaken the next morning tucked under a warm blanket.
>Huh, where'd this come from?
>With a yawn and a quick stretch, you free yourself from the comfy cocoon and head for the kitchen.
>The smell of fresh pancakes flood your nostrils.
>Beyond the dining room table stands Derpy, eagerly cooking what smells to be another delicious breakfast.
>Celestia bless her soul.
"Mornin' babe." You sleepily greet her.
>Derpy jumps at the sound of your voice and quickly turns around.
>"Good morning, love muffin!" She eagerly responds with a wave.
"Love muffin?"
>Derpy blushes and fumbles with her spatula.
>"Oh that, uh, I was just thinking that since you gave me a nickname-"
>She piles the pancakes onto two plates and slowly carries them to the table.
>"Is it time for my good morning kiss, love muffin~?" She coos.
"You know it, babe."
>Derpy squees with delight and scrambles towards you.
>The nearby chair seems to have other plans, and catches her hind leg with its own.
>"Oof!"
>You instinctively dash over and catch the silly mare before her face ends up kissing the tile floor.
>Derpy quickly regains her hoofing and sighs.
>"Thank you, love muffin..."
>You give Derpy the kind of kiss that has her giggling like a giddy schoolfilly.
"No problem, babe."
>"A-As I was saying-"
>She clears her throat and affectionately nuzzles your neck.
>"You gave me a nickname, so I thought I could give you one too."
>You chuckle and pull Derpy close.
>"Do you...like it~?" Her face is flush
>You begin to respond but are suddenly cutoff by the sound of thundering hoofsteps outside.
