A story was influenced by this picture

_______________________

It was a calm night in the Lunar empire. One of the few nights I could remember that didn't have any kind of attack from Celestia's soldiers. I didn't really notice though, as I was a bit distracted looking at Luna's castle from my vantage point on the bridge in the courtyard.

"Impressive, isn't it?" I look toward the source of the voice to see my friend Vinyl Scratch walk over to me, wearing the same smile she wore when we first met back at training years ago.

"Hey, Scratch." I said as she sat down next to me. "Yeah, I sure am."

"Ugh, I sure am glad we have this one night of calm. So far, at least." Vinyl groaned, slumping her head onto the wall of the bridge. "I know this job is important, but I'd give anything for a night like tonight."

"I agree. As much as I like to be a part of Luna's royal guard, I do like some time off as well." I say to her.

We sat in silence for a few minutes, staring at the castle. "You know what I want to do at some point?" Vinyl asked me.

"Hm? What is it?" I ask.

"When this war is over, I want to retire from the guard and get a stallion to settle down with, maybe raise a family." Vinyl began to stare into space dreamily as she talked.

"I want to do the same." I say, snapping Vinyl out of her dreamy state. "I'm sure I can get a nice mare to settle down with. From what I've heard, mares love soldiers." I smirk at Vinyl.

"I'm sure they do. I admit that you look good in that armor." Vinyl says, tapping the chest plate of my armor and grinning at me.

I blush at her. "Really? Thanks. You look good in that too." I notice her cheeks go crimson as she turns away from me.

"Lego, stop. You're acting silly." Vinyl said as she giggled.

"You started it."

Vinyl looked back at me. "Good point." She said. As she continues to look at me, I notice her come closer to me, closing her eyes. Without realizing it, I close my eyes as her face comes closer to mine. I feel her lips press against mine momentarily before she stopped. I open my eyes to see that our noses were touching, and Vinyl was blushing all over. She backed away after a few seconds.

"I'm sorry, Lego. I just...couldn't help myself." Vinyl said sadly.

"Hey, it's okay. Why did you stop so quickly?" I ask her.

"Don't you remember what the punishment is for a soldier being in a relationship with another soldier?" Vinyl asked. The moment she did, I remembered; soldiers guilty of being in a sexual relationship with each other are exiled from the kingdom, which might as well be the equivalent of an execution.

"Oh...right..." I say quietly. "If it makes you feel better, though, I did like that kiss."

Vinyl smiled. "Thanks, Lego. Well, I'd best get back inside; the princess requested my presence at this time. See you later." She said to me before leaving.

I waved goodbye to her as she left, then looked back up toward the castle. A few minutes pass before I hear rustling in the bushes nearby. "Who's there? Get out and identify yourself."

The rustling continues for a few seconds before a small white rabbit pops out of the bush. I breath a sigh of relief. 

"Phew. I thought for a moment that was another-" I say before I feel a pain in the back of my head and fall onto the ground. The last thing I saw before passing out was the rabbit running past me and a shadow of a mare dragging me through the courtyard.

The process of doing this scenebuild gave me the idea for this story, and the bit at the end was something I thought of last second. Hope you enjoy.
