Description
"Brother, where art thou taking us?" Sirius groaned, following after Hazy. They'd been walking through the market place for hours and stopping nowhere. "We are famished."

"Store." He replied, still looking from window to window even though they had past these stores over a dozen times already.

"My, how informative thou art." He deadpanned. Hazy looked back at Sirius, cocking a brow.

"Vei, do you have to be all formal when it's just us?" He retorted, looking annoyed. Which wasn't new. Hazy never could understand why Sirius was the way he was. Still, as an older brother, it was his duty to be patient and provide him the information he needs.

"Of course. We art the Prince of friendship and the Sun." He proclaimed, basking in mothers Sun. "How else should we talk?"

"Like a normal pony..." He replied, rolling his eyes. "Like mom?"

"Mother speaks informally due to being too attached to the way common pony speak." He really wished Mother would speak more royally. Aunt Luna did. Only her. Aunt Cadence still spoke like a common pony despite being a Empress. He hated that he and aunt Luna were the only ones to safeguard the old ways. Somepony had to.

  "That almost sounds like a insult." Hazy noted, frowning as he slowed down until they were side by side. Hazy was tired of dodging some of the ponies on the street beside them. The street was fairly empty but Hazy didn't feel like shouting over them.

"We would never insult mother." He defended, scowling. He smiled as he thought of her. "She is our beloved and graceful role model."

"She tripped over a stack of her own books yesterday." He pointed out, cocking a brow.

  "They were quite high and anyone could have done the same." He defended.

  "She still eats like a pig when it's just us."

"So does Uncle Spike yet we fail to see you complain then." Sirius stated, pouting.

"Of course not!" Hazy snickered. "Watching Uncle Spike and mom unintentionally compete for Equestria's messiest eater is the most hilarious thing ever." He let out a laugh, still walking until he noticed that Sirius wasn't beside him. Looking back, he frowned as he stared at his brother."... Uh, Vei?"

"Hm?" He squeaked, his face clenched tight. Hazy turned to him.

"Are you okay?"

"Of course! Why wouldn't we be?" He said, his body shivering as his eyes darted about. Hazy looked over Sirius head with a curious look.

"Because your mane is doing that weird thing again." He said, pointing up.

  "Eh?" Sirius looked behind him and flinched. His mane was going crazy behind him. "Curses, be still thy mane! You are under our domain!" He cried, trying to grab his mane and hold it down. Even in his magical grip, it wavered and jumped. While HAzy was still confused how his mane did that by itself, that was a talk for another time.

"What's got you so nervous, Vei?" He asked, walking up to him. Sirius was a weird pony. While he was good at hiding his emotions in general, his mane made him a open book.

"Nothing!" He denied, his face burning red. As they stared at each other, Sirius' eyes drifted behind him before darting back. Curious, Hazy looked past him, seeing a black pony standing some distance away. He turned to his brother.

"...Is it him?" He asked, pointing at the stallion. The fact his brothers mane went crazy was clue enough, though he still tried to deny it.

"Nay!" He said, his eyes darting about. Hazy sighed.

"You sure?" He asked, openly check him out. He wasn't as attractive as Green Tea but he could see the appeal. Physically, he was sexy but something about him put him on edged. "He's pretty hot, though something about him feel off."

"Thou's 'gut instinct' has been wrong before." He defended, drawing Hazy's eye. Quick to defend a stranger? He thought. Interesting.

"Maybe..." He muttered, sighing. He could hear the drums echoing. "So you plannin' on talkin' to him?" He asked.

:Nay! We can't just..." He stopped, looking back at the stallion. He looked like he was trying to keep himself from fidgeting. "We mean, how could we-"

  "Well, you got to do something. You can't just stand here staring at his ass all day." He said, rolling his eyes.

"We were not-!" He started to deny before his eyes stopped as the stallion bent over to look something over. "Uh...His... His flanks are... pleasing to the eye." Hazy smirked.

"Tch. That stallion really got you really riled up, don't he?!" He chuckled, giving Sirius a look of surprise. "You never admit to drooling."

"We are not drooling!" He denied, still staring but stomping a hoof. Hazy snickered.

"Then stop standing there and go and talk to him." He ordered, shoving Sirius over until the taller stallion bumped into the stranger.

"Oof!" Red eyes turned to him. Sirius stiffened, staring down at the stallion with a face as red as a tomato."Oh! U-uh, we apologize." He stammered, trying to talk around his nerves. The stranger just stared. "G-good afternoon, sir, we are-"

"My veil!" The stranger cried, beaming like he'd just found a long lost friend. Sirius jumped, frowning.

"Hm?" Sirius cocked his head to the side in confusion. The stranger took a step forward but noting Sirius' expression made his smile falter a bit. A frown formed on his face, giving Sirius a look like he was hoping for something.

"Y-you... you don't recognize me?" He asked, his expression shifting into heartbreak. Sirius felt a bit bad for making him upset but he truly didn't know him.

"We... We are sorry, sir, but we don't think we've ever met." He stated, looking the stranger in the eye. Red eyes looked away, letting out a breath.

  "...Oh. Right, I forgot..." He sighed. Sirius waited a moment, wondering what was going through the stallion's mind. Before he could ask what had made him think he knew him, the stranger looked up at him with a strained smile. "N-no, I'm sorry. It was my mistake. Please forget what I said." He finished with a seductive smile. Sirius jumped, his heart speeding up a bit.

"O-of course!" He replied, his royal manners making him put it out of his mind. "Our name is-"

"Sirius Veil." He stated, smiling much more easily.

"You know our name?" He asked, though he really should have known. The stranger called him Veil. Why he'd called him 'my veil' was a question to ask another day as the the stranger continued.

"Who doesn't know the illustrious Prince Sirius Veil?" He explained, looking back into the store. It was a bookstore, drawing Sirius' eyes as well. "I can't take a step without bumping into somepony you've helped in some way or another. Quite the hard worker, aren't you, your highness?" Sirius couldn't help but smile at the complement.

"We try to do our part as royalty." He proclaimed proudly. "Ponyville is small but a wonderful place full of good ponies."

"Yes..." He turned to Sirius. "But none as handsome as you, darling." Sirius jumped, knowing his mane was doing it's weird wavey thing.

"D-darling?!" He stammered, trying to ignore the looks he was probably getting. Luckily, only his mane did the thing otherwise he's look quite vulgar. The stranger chuckled at the sight.

"Oh, yes. you really are quite a specimen." He said, slowly circling Sirius. He could feel those red eyes caress him. "All those days toiling about really put some muscle on those legs. They must be quite firm." He leaned in close to whisper in Sirius ear. "Can I feel them?" Sirius held in a squeak.

"E-eh?" He turned toward him, their noses touching. Sirius tried to ignore how close their mouths were. "U-uh, I- we suppose so?" The stranger gave him a hungry look.

"Oh?" He moved back, ignoring the fact that Sirius followed him for just a second. "Can I use me teeth?" He asked, licking his lips. That time, Sirius couldn't hold in his squeak.

"Eep!" Sirius stood there, his mind misting over as his mind filled with images that he dared not voice. Biting... Biting what? The stranger saw his expression and chuckled as he tapped his shoulder.

  "Oh you are a delight." He chuckled, running a hoof under Sirius' chin. "Lets get a bite to eat. I know a place the serves killer hay burgers." He turned, swaying his hip just a bit cause he knew Sirius would be staring. He was but he forced himself to speak.

"W-wait!" Sirius called out, his eye firmly sticking to the strangers head. No need to let him see him ogling him. The stranger stopped, looking over his shoulder at Sirius. "We have yet to hear thou's name." He flinched, frowning a bit.

"...Rigel." He muttered, looking away. "Rigel Love."

  "Rigel? How noble a name." Sirius beamed, interest burning his eyes. "Did thou know that Rigel, also known as Beta Orionis, is the brightest star in the Orion constellation? It is also the seventh brightest star in the night sky." He explained, with a smile. "You were named after a star, just like us. The one who named you must have really loved Astronomy." Rigel stopped, letting out a deep breath.

"...He did." He whispered, looking up at the sky. "He really did."

*****

Siri and his new 'friend' Rigel Love meeting for the first time.

Rigel, as you might have noticed, was in my 'kids table' pic as Sirius' kind of date. Siri denies it, since as a prince, he must eventually marry a princess. Sure, he's as gay as anyone can be but he has a duty to his subjects. But that doesn't mean he doesn't 'play around' as Hazy puts it.

While Sirius has dabbled in some relationships, Rigel is the first one he 'picked up' on his own. Usually, the dates are blind or Hazy introduces them. Sirius has never stuck with anyone but something about Rigel compelled him to chase after this mysterious stallion. As such, his mane is going crazy.

Rigel is just happy to see Sirius again. They haven't seen one another in years and he's missed him so much. If only he remembered who gave him his name.

Note: Yes, Rigel is disguised Toxic. Toxic never liked changing his looks too much since he took pride in being a Changeling. Still, this time he didn't want to cause a panic so he disguised himself as a unicorn. He never liked pretending to be a Pegasus since his Veil would never have wings.

Also, you might have noticed Rigel's cutiemark. I couldn't decide between saying it's a diseased rotting heart or a putrefied heart. Either way, he earned that heart cause he isn't the same pony Sirius said hi to all those years ago.
