Post Celebration

Elusive pushed open the door to his shop. Inside it was dark and warm... he used his magic to flick on a light:

"We're home!" He shouted into the empty establishment. "Alexanderite! Come see Daddy!"

The tomcat disinterestedly peered out from behind the counter and swished his tail... expecting to be fed.

"Oh, yes! You're a good boy, aren't you?"

Turning his head, Alexandrite reluctantly approached... now expecting to be petted.

Butterscotch, behind the Unicorn, peered inside.

"Oh my..." He said, balancing himself against the door frame, having had too much cider. "That was quite a day, wasn't it?"

Elusive turned to the bright yellow Pegasus and smiled:

"Indeed it was, darling! Do make yourself at home... you know what to do. I'll get us something to drink!"

Butterscotch smiled weakly in response, stumbling in and sitting down by a mirror.

"Oh, that would be quite nice..." Finally able to relax, he stretched long and hard. "It's hard to believe that our friend Dusk Shine is now an Alicorn Prince! I never thought in a million years that's what Lord Solaris and Prince Artemis were grooming him for."

"Me neither," the Unicorn chuckled, heading into the pantry. "Truth be told, I'm just glad he's still among us. Alicorn or not, now, he did dematerialize before our very eyes, by our own doing no less, and not reappear for a whole day... quite unnerving to have done collectively to a friend of three years, don't you think?"

"Oh, don't remind me!" Butterscotch shuttered. "Elusive, would it be okay if I spent the night here? ... being with somepony helps me sleep better when I'm scared."

"That's precisely why I brought you here," confidently replied Elusive, coming out of the closet with a pot of tea and magic boiler held high. "Sleep is paramount, darling, especially to those of us that have early morning responsibilities! Tea will be a few minutes... will Lilith rabbit be alright for the night? You normally make arrangements for her when you stay."

"She'll be fine if I get back early enough," said Butterscotch, spacing out as the Unicorn turned the boiler on with his magic.

"Splendid."

* * *

Once the water was set, the Unicorn approached his good friend and sighed.

"Quite a day, indeed." He turned so they were now facing... almost touching. "You look rather tense. How about after tea we slip into some silk pajamas, get under some satin blankets, then... while you're resting I build a little fire before climbing in, too, hmmm? Doesn't that sound like fun?"

"That sounds wonderful, but... I'm really kind of stiff. All that slapstick I did while trying to entertain the town... my body's just not used to it! Thank goodness Bubble Berry's doing it now. I have no idea how he keeps in shape eating all those cakes and pies. Elusive... I'd just like to sit here for a bit, if that's okay."

"Certainly, darling, certainly! Would you like me to rub your aching back? You know I'm as gentle as a foal when it comes to giving a massage."

"Yes, please... that is, if you'd like to."

"You know I would, dear." Elusive got into position. "Generosity is my Element name, after all, and I will give you a nice... gentle, massage."

Butterscotch shut his eyes as Elusive went to work. He immediately melted as his sides were stretched and pulled apart, his aching muscles finally getting some relief... the kinks being worked out. Elusive really knew what he was doing.

"Oh dear... that does feel good!"

"Doesn't it?" Elusive kept it up, pulling himself in closer.

Inhaling, he could now smell Butterscotch's musk. As always, the Pegasus' smell made him giggle on the inside. Feeling like some young filly around her first crush, Elusive could talk about him forever when he wasn't around... mostly to Alexandrite, unfortunately, but also to Dusk Shine, the only friend who knew.

Butterscotch didn't notice the inhaling stallion, so there was nothing to discuss... he was far too lost in a sea of pleasure. How Elusive could make the pain go away and send him into deep relaxation was beyond him. The deep massage continued for a good, long while... until the Unicorn felt a few pops under his hooves and the Pegasus nearly fell over in bliss.

"Are you feeling better now?" He asked, distracting himself by eye-balling the percolating boiling water. "It might be a good idea for me to tend to that... if you are feeling better?"

"Much!" Replied the no longer aching Butterscotch, leaning against his good friend while pulling his wings in tight. "Thank you so much."

Elusive hugged Butterscotch, patting his back. Realizing what could slip out next, his face a bit too close to the Pegasus's neck, he looked away... towards the most immediate task.

"I'm glad, Butterscotch... but now it's time for tea!"

The Pegasus looked back at him:

"... okay."

* * *

The ponies took it upstairs. They were enjoying their herbal tea in tiny cups, sitting on a quaint couch in the tiny den on the top floor of Elusive's shop. Each looked to the other, back and forth, as they swished their little spoons through their little mugs. Silence filled the air. If a pin fell in the shop below, it would have been heard by both ponies.

"You're awfully quiet all of the sudden, Elusive," said Butterscotch. "Is anything the matter?"

"Oh, just thinking about the past few hours... you know what I mean."

Butterscotch, tired of playing the day's events in his head like a broken record, looked at his mug and nodded.

"Yeah. I must say, Elusive... This is really good tea!"

"Thank you. It's chamomile and mint... all the way from Canterlot. I know you like yours sweet, so I added a little extra sugar."

Butterscotch simply giggled in response.

Elusive, blushing, took a huge sip of his tea... almost a gulp:

"Do you... just want to go to bed now, or would you want me to build a fire so we can talk for a bit?"

"I'll help you with the fire..." offered Butterscotch. "If that's alright."

"You know it is," Elusive grinned, setting down his mug. "I'm finished."

Butterscotch, with a nervous smile, set down his own mug and looked up at his ivory friend.

Together they got up. They needed no words at this point. One went for the kitty food, while the other cleaned their little cups. There was only a bit of work ahead of them. They'd do it at once, then relax... together.

* * *

In Elusive's dark, quiet den, Butterscotch passed a few slender logs his way from a nearby pile. Though they'd been known to spend the night at each other's houses, they had only done this once before, and that was following a winter game gone terribly wrong. One cold day Elusive, Bubble Berry, and Butterscotch all went all crashing through the Ponyville pond because collectively they weighed far too much to form the almost pink triangle their hyper-active friend thought might be fun to make while skating. That was that was necessary, as they ended up huddled together under the fire with Bubble Berry to stave off hypothermia. This was different, because it wasn't necessary... it just felt good.

It didn't take long to light it up with magic. The fire was soon roaring. Butterscotch laid down on his back, stretching his aching side... the day had proven to be more strenuous than he thought. Elusive trotted off for a bit, and when Butterscotch was just about to rise to his hooves, the Unicorn returned with a big pile of satin blankets, a couple throw pillows, and of course silk pajamas. Elusive was already wearing his.

"I've got something special here for you," he said in a sing-songy tone, setting it down in front of Butterscotch with his magic. "I hope you like it..."

This wasn't just any pair of pajamas... they matched Butterscotch's pelt and mane to a tee, with pastels galore of pink and green, yellow and blue. Elusive had made them specifically for the Pegasus, with time and care... and, of course, love for his Pegasus friend.

"You didn't have to," Butterscotch said shyly, slipping on the top and bottoms. "Very comfortable.. nice fit."

Elusive, setting up their make-shift bed, looked over his shoulder and smiled:

"But of course, darling. I have your measurements, since you have commissioned me and modeled for me a few times before. I took my time and designed them to fit your... unique proportions and curves rather well."

Butterscotch giggled in response:

"Mares have curves, Elusive. I'm a stallion!"

Elusive just blushed... looking away.

"The... fire's very nice, isn't it?" He asked, plopping down beside the Pegasus. "Rather... hypnotic, wouldn't you say?"

"Yeah." Butterscotch pulled the blankets up over his torso while Elusive did the same. "What are you doing tomorrow?"

"Oh, just this and that... paper work. It will be a slow day for the business, as most Sundays are. I'll have the morning free. Yourself?"

"Oh, after I feed a few animals I'll also have most of the morning free..."

"I'll have to treat you to breakfast then. Do say yes..."

"That would be wonderful, Elusive..."

Elusive, smiling, rested gently behind Butterscotch. Together they stared at the fire for a few minutes, until the stiff Pegasus rolled his shoulders... pushing his body backwards, even more towards the recumbent Unicorn. Elusive found his mouth inches away from his friend's rather yummy-looking ear.

"Sorry I'm not much for conversation tonight, Elusive," Butterscotch said, looking back through his mane. "I am very tired... I want to talk, but I'm afraid I just don't have the energy."

"That's quite alright, ear... err, uh dear. Just being able to relax by the fire is good enough for me..."

Elusive didn't realize it, but when he finished that last sentence he placed a hoof on Butterscotch's shoulder... then an entire foreleg. The two hugged for a moment and it felt right for them both. It was only when Butterscotch put his hoof against Elusive's foreleg that both became consciously aware of what was going on. The were doing the pony equivalent of holding hands. All alone, by a fire, just the two of them... in pretty silk pajamas.

"Sorry! That... that was instinctive on my part, dear!" Elusive blushed. "I hug Sweepy Belle in a similar manner when he's having nightmares... I'll build a fire to lull him to sleep if its bad enough."

"It's alright. I don't mind... it makes me feel comfortable."

"Does it?" Elusive put his hoof back. "Then you won't mind if I keep it there?"

Butterscotch didn't answer... instead he just rested up against Elusive and hugged into his foreleg. Again, the Unicorn could smell his friend's musk quite clearly and Butterscotch could smell his just the same. Neither was offended by the other's closeness, so they both just relaxed.

"Guess it's good night, then?" Asked Elusive.

"If you'd like it to be..." yawned Butterscotch in reply.

"Well, I don't... but I'm not going to keep you awake chattering in your ear all night. That's simply not what good hosts do!"

Butterscotch turned over, now facing Elusive. His eyes were calm and clear.

"You could always chatter with me looking at you... I don't mind."

Both ponies blushed... they were very close. Elusive didn't dare do what he wanted to. Knowing Butterscotch, it probably would cause him to run away. And who knows? That might be it for their friendship. He answered smoothly and coolly:

"I could..."

As Butterscotch hugged the stallion tight, his eyes went wide in surprise and unease.

"Thanks for being such a good friend, Elusive."

"Oh, it's no proble-"

Their lips made contact. Intentional contact. Electricity shot through both of them with more raw power than Elusive ever could have imagined. The kiss was over with all too soon, and things were silent for a good long moment once more...

* * *

"I'm so sorry, Elusive!" Said Butterscotch in a frantic, high-pitched voice, his eyes wide. "I have no idea what just came over me... I blanked out for a moment. I don't know why I just did tha-"

Elusive gently grasped the confused stallion's head in both his hooves:

"Shhh, shh.... It's okay."

Butterscotch's eyes looked like saucers:

"But I-"

"Shhh... It's alright. I'm not mad."

"You're... not?"

"No," Elusive opened both his forelegs to his frightened friend. "Come here... hug me as tight as you like."

Butterscotch took the invite, hugging him so tightly he could barely breath. He still patted Butterscotch lovingly on the back, and managed to say, in a strained voice:

"You probably just had too many ciders tonight... these things happen sometimes. It's quite alright, dear."

Butterscotch hugged tight... then sighed.

"Yes, yes... let it go."
.

Butterscotch shook his head.

"No... these things don't happen."

Knowing what he might be getting into, Elusive rolled his eyes... but responded with sincerity all the same:

"Talk to me, darling," he said firmly, pulling away from Butterscotch so the two could be face-to-face. "What are you trying to say?"

"I don't- I do know why I did that... but I'm all confused about it."

"It's quite natural to be 'all confused' after something like that, but... why did you do it?"

"Well, I wanted to. I just wasn't thinking."

"Is this the first time you've ever wanted to do something like that?"

Butterscotch shook his head.

"You poor dear," Elusive nuzzled his good friend sympathetically. "Have you felt like that for a while?"

"A long time."

"How long... a couple weeks, hmm? A month at best?"

"Actually... a couple of years."

Elusive's eyes went wide, his heart skipped a beat:

"A couple of years!? Butterscotch, why didn't you tell me? Things like this will eat at you... I should know a thing or two about that, trust me."

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't be," Again Elusive hugged his friend, nuzzling his cheek. "If you like me like that, then you like me like that. We can't do anything about that, but go from there... right?"

"Do... do you still like me?"

"Of course!"

Butterscotch smiled, but was clearly holding back a few tears:

"And you still want to be my friend?"

"Yes, yes, darling! Nothing you could ever do could change my opinion of you..."

Butterscotch relaxed a bit more:

"Elusive, there a butterflies in my stomach now..."

"There are some in mine, too, darling. It's quite normal."

"But... Why are there butterflies in your stomach, Elusive?"

Elusive smiled, and let his body do the talking at this point.

He leaned in and gave Butterscotch a light peck by the lips, then waited... their faces a few inches from each other. Butterscotch licked his lips, his eyes nervously darting from the floor to Elusive's lips. Elusive gave another kiss, this one barely touching the Pegasus's lips... Butterscotch blushed, then turned to Elusive.

The two stallions locked lips, placing their forelegs around each other. This was their first real kiss, something Elusive had drempt about since he met Butterscotch, and it felt better than any romance novel could describe... he'd kissed before, but never in true love. To Butterstoch, it was overwhelming. The raw surge of energy felt like an electric jolt running through their bodies... the residual tingle was divine and beckoned them each to get closer. They pulled themselves together... then, both Elusive and Butterscotch, finally relaxed.

* * *

"Wow, Butterscotch..." said Elusive, panting. "I never saw that coming..."

Butterscotch had his head by Elusive's chest and was breathing heavy as well.

"I don't know what to say, Elusive," panted the Pegasus. "That felt really good!"

"It did. Truth is, Butterscotch... I like being around you. You make me smile, and I like to make you smile."

Hearing this, Butterscotch's face lit up... but the smile didn't last:

"Growing into stallionhood, I always thought I'd be doing that someday with a mare. What we did feels so good but is so... so different and confusing. What do you think, Elusive?"

The stallion didn't bat an eye as he answered:

"Most of the ponies I know would be happy for a pony that's found love... whether it's with a stallion or a mare would be entirely beside the point, dear. Irrelevant."

Again, Butterscotch hugged him.

"I think I love you, Elusive... like I thought I'd love a mare."

"I know. I have strong feelings for you, too. Very strong."

Butterscotch looked up. His eyes were still innocent, but now frightened:

"Do you... love me Elusive?"

Elusive expected the question, and kept his best poker face:

"Butterscotch, darling... I know I don't want to break your heart, because I like it just the way it is. You can consider that both love and affection. Let's take it slow... what do you say, hmm? Special Someponies for now?"

"Okay."

Elusive smiled, giving his new Special Somepony a hug:

"Oh, Butterscotch... you have no idea how happy you've just made me. Or maybe you do. I'm just so glad for this!"

New Day

New Day

The two stallions fell asleep wrapped in each other's forelegs, each resting better than he had in months.

Elusive was the first to open his eyes. He looked to his handsome, sleeping friend of nearly 4 years, praying to Lord Solaris that when he woke up his feelings hadn't changed. He must've been staring at Butterscotch for a good hour until he finally awoke, as the sun rose on a new day.

Butterscotch looked down at his forelegs first thing, tangled tightly around Elusive. Elusive was smiling, looking happy and proud of this. Seeing his good friend at ease made Butterscotch's reaction a fraction of what it could have been, had Elusive looked puzzled or mad.

"Oh, Elusive... what happened?"

"You mean you don't remember?"

"I do, but... I'm not sur-"

The Unicorn put on a coy grin:

"Are you not sure or are you too scared to talk about it now?"

Butterscotch made a tiny eeping sound, then nodded his head:

"The last one."

Elsive responded by giving the nervous Pegasus a peck on the cheek:

"Darling, if it was just last night... then it was just last night. There's no problem. The one thing I've always been able to survive is rejection! Be it from a client or a good friend."

Butterscotch gave the Unicorn a nervous peck back.

"So... you still like me that way, then, do you?"

Butterscotch nodded slowly and surely.

"Very well then," Elusive nodded back and grinned. "How about we take care of our early morning things, then meet at Horte Cuisin's? That will give us both a chance to think about last night... if you have any regrets, please come to talk about them."

Butterscotch rose, beaming a smile down at his stallion friend:

"I will... Special Somepony."

Elusive grinned again, even bigger than last time.

* * *

An hour and a half later both stallions met at their favorite waitress's establishment. They were cleaned up and appeared to every other pony around as though they were just two friends together for an early breakfast... but if ponies got close enough to hear word-for-word what they were saying, they would have realized what was going on. Butterscotch was asking his new Special Somepony a lot of questions... and Elusive, patient and familiar with these same questions in himself, saw it all coming:

"Are you sure it wasn't bad? Am I a colt cuddler now? Are you a colt cuddler? Aren't you afraid of what the pony guarding the gates in the afterlife is going to say? Oh my, I just realized that was my first kiss!"

"Butterscotch, Butterscotch," replied the Unicorn calmly. "I'm absoutely positive it wasn't a bad thing, darling... and as for you being a colt cuddler, only you can decide that. I am, and I'm proud of it, but it took a long time for me to figure it out. I believe Lord Solaris once said it's important that all ponies know themselves in this life, because only then can we live up to our potential and help others... so what does it matter? The gatekeeper isn't here to ask, so I can't even begin to speculate... and yet I am rather tickled pink to be your first kiss!"

The yellow stallion smiled uncomfortably, visibly shrinking:

"P-please! Not so loud!"

"Sorry," Elusive giggled, placing his hoof by Butterscotch's. "All the same I am quite happy. Do remember that I am here for you if you want to talk about anything, day or night."

"I will."

"Good."

* * *

Both ponies went home and worked in their respective business with new found zest. Both Lilitha and Sweepy Belle noticed something different in their caretaker when he arrived... a certain bounce in his step, an almost bombastic change. Both stallions had a similar response to either questions or an odd look coming from their charge:

"Can't a stallion be happy for once without reason?"

The carefree colt and malevolent doe shrugged in response, going on about business as usual.

Elusive and Butterscotch continued to see each other as they normally would -- together with friends, in passing on errands, and collaborating at work. They also saw much of each other alone, and now the alone time meant so much more. They cuddled and kissed, and caressed... hooves went to places where one would normally get struck... over ears, on rumps and crotches... it was okay with both of them, but not at first:

"Oh Elusive!" Shuttered Butterscotch, as there was a bit of growth around where his Special Somepony was fondling. "Please not so rough."

The Unicorn smiled, gently caressing him. Once he found the courage and got over the shock of being touched a few days later, Butterscotch returned the favor... but nothing came of it. Just each other's loving touch.

That's as far as it went in private. Their friends had no clue, and because all eyes were now focused on Dusk Shine no pony gave it much thought. This was convenient for them both, as attention was not on the rare "accidental" bump against Butterscotch's haunches Elusive let happen when they though they were alone. Apple Jack was the only pony to comment that he thought Elusive was growing clumsy, and Elusive was quick to blame it on too many late nights at the sewing machine. Late nights, indeed, though the late nights were generally spent together, not working. Though the Pegasus was usually able to turn it off during the day, he always had questions at night... incessant questions. Elusive answered them, at times grudgingly...

"How do two stallions... you know?" Butterscotch one night asked as they were drifting off.

"Make love?" Elusive answered, half asleep.

"Yeah... if you don't mind answering that."

Elusive opened his eyes and chuckled:

"Well.., I'm happy you didn't ask Duskshine this question, as his description would be... more than graphic and far too clinical. Don't your animal friends have same-sex relations? Darling, you must know something about biology to be able to do what you do."

"Honestly, I don't know much about pony bodies. And as for my animals, all they do is rub up against one and other... and that's more a way of saying I'm the boss than I love you, or anything like that. Animals just don't work that way. I hear the way two male ponies mate is kind of... unnatural and icky."

"I see... well, Butterscotch, I will level with you: two stallions can rub up against each other much like you described. There are also other, more... penetrative ways we- err, uh they can go about things. Are you sure you don't already know this?"

"I'm positive I don't... w-what did you mean by p-penetrative?"

"Yes, well... all mammals have a hole under their tail..."

"Eww! I already know where this is going..."

Elusive, ever patient yet growing awkward, rubbed the back of his head with a hoof... turning red despite the fact that the two were alone in his home:

"Yes, well... that is only one way of going about things."

"There are others?"

"Yes, simply sucking on the tip of one's... personal bits feels quite nice, and there's also a good ol' fashion clop job. If that puts you off, dear, please don't focus on the looks. Focus on the feeling... and the closeness! Words cannot describe how divine both parties feel in the midst of these acts."

Butterscotch shuffled his hooves and sighed:

"Elusive... that first part we were talking about... does it hurt?"

"You mean under the tail?"

Butterscotch nodded.

"If it's not done right it can really smart. Not enough lubrication, too much force too soon... Butterscotch, dear, my first time I was the recipient and I bled on the bed!"

"Oh my goodness!"

"But... If it's done right it's uncomfortable for a bit, then it starts to feel very nice. It's a sensation I simply cannot describe, but... all the pain you had to put up with to get there melts away and turns into nothing more than an itch... which is being scratched by your Special Somepony. Deep inside of you, closer than you thought possible... it's simply wonderful."

Butterscotch smiled.

"That does sound really nice, but in the- the rump?"

"I'm afraid so, dear. Stallions don't have a hole it naturally fits in, so we have to be creative."

"What about..." Butterscotch swallowed. "Waste? Can't it get all over the place?"

"Yes, it can dear. That was another side-effect of my first time... but, with the proper steps taken beforehoof, you- er... the recipient can clean themselves out first, minimizing that to nothing more than an itsy-bitsy iota."

Butterscotch smiled:

"You know, Elusive... the more we talk about this the less scary it seems."

"Good to know, darling... good to know."

Close Calls

"Close Calls"

A month passed. The two stallions spent most of their free time together. It was at this point their friends started to think something was going on:

"You guys planning something?" Rainbow Blitz asked one day when the guys were all together for lunch at the Sugar Cube Corner.

"Is it a party?" Squealed Bubble Berry. "I love parties! Can I help? Oh! Can Gummette come and help set up with me?"

"If it were a party, dear, you'd certainly be the first I'd ask for help," said Elusive, looking over at Butterscotch to gauge what to say next. "We just have been having a lot of fun together lately. Much like Rainbow Blitz and Apple Jack."

Apple Jack raised an eyebrow:

"Well, to be fair me an' Rainbow here don't frequent the spa or watch romance movies in the theater all teary-eyed. Nor do we spend night after night at each other's houses!"

"Well, Rainbow Blitz DOES live in Cloudsdale." Said Butterscotch meekly. "And we do our own thing. Is that a crime?"

Apple Jack paused for a moment:

"Nah."

"Well, I'm glad," said Dusk Shine, stretching his wings. "It's important to me to see everypony together and happy."

"Here, here!" Exclaimed AJ.

Dusk Shine's words, comforting and without judgment, washed over them... and he continued to look at his yellow and ivory friends a bit longer than was nessessary. Though the Prince said nothing, and his smile beamed acceptance, it felt as though he was saying good for you to them both. Elusive and Butterscotch each felt glad, though Elusive had told no pony about their relationship yet...

* * *

It was one hot afternoon. While on the way home to Butterscotch's cottage for some refreshment and an afternoon of idylic cuddling, the stallions heard a soft cry:

"Help!"

Their ears perked up. It sounded as if it was coming from Ponyville Pond.

"Oh, dear... That sounds like Apple Buck," said Elusive, a look of worry in his eye. "If he's in trouble, we haven't a moment to lose!"

"Oh, I hope he's alright," replied Butterscotch, already turning in the direction of the pond.

Before the yellow Pegasus could take off, Elusive was already kicking up dust, galloping in the direction of the cries. Apple Buck was Sweepy Belle's friend... if anything happened to him because the stallions were too slow, Elusive would never be able to forgive himself.

It took less than a minute for them to get to the pond. Sure enough, right in the middle of the water, towards a cloudy green patch, Apple Buck was struggling... but barely moving despite his best efforts in the murky water.

"We're here, Apple Buck!" Shouted Elusive, already wadding through the water. "I'm coming to get you out!"

"Ah'm stuck!" Shouted the colt. "Ah'm all tangled up in some weeds!"

Elusive, hesitantly wading in the shallows, paused for a moment, looking closely at the young Colt's predicment... but ultimately made his mind up moments later:

"Don't move! I'll untangle you, but you have to sit still."

The colt replied sharply, sounding very scared:

"If Ah stop moving I'm gunna go under!"

Elusive galloped in, glancing back at his Special Somepony:

"I might need your help Butterscotch... stay where you are for now."

"O-okay!" Replied the timid Pegasus.

The Unicorn doggystyle-paddled up to Apple Buck and tried to examine his predicament... between the splashing and the frantic kicking, it was hard to see for sure, but Elusive was able to feel around and find a particularly long weed the colt's hind leg was tangled in.

"I've got you," he said, calmly. "Trust me... you're going to be okay."

Looking into the stallion's calming blue eyes, Apple Buck was able to settle down a bit... but still kicked to keep his head above water.

"My, my, you're being a good boy," Elusive said, untangling the colt with his magic. "Just a few moments more and you'll be free! Able to make it to the shore by yourself..."

Apple Buck smiled at the Unicorn as he worked. Seeing how good Elusive could be with kids when they were in real danger made Butterscotch smile... though his fear trumped any affection he was feeling.

The colt felt the weed slowly coming loose...

"There! You're free now!" Yipped the Unicorn. "Head right for Butterscotch... any weeds that could catch you would have gotten me first. You're safe now..."

He didn't have to tell Apple Buck twice. The colt made a bee-line for the shore and got right out, shaking himself dry like a dog at the beach. Both stallions smiled, knowing he was now okay.

It was Elusive's turn now. Casually, he turned around and began to paddle for shore. Though he followed the same path he took going in, he made one mistake. He exaggerated an arching motion with his hind leg while trying to keep straight, and this caused him to become tangled in a low weed. He was stuck, worse than Apple Buck, his nose inches from going under. The stallion's entire focus was now spent keeping his head up, and it was because of that he couldn't use his magic. Trying to stay afloat, he kicked the other leg... only to have it become entangled by a second weed, just as low. If he let his head go under now in hopes to free himself with his teeth or his magic, it was possible that his horn or other legs could become entangled as well. He wasn't a wizard capiable of teleportation spells, just simple magic to help him at work...

"Butterscotch!" He muttered through his teeth. "Help!"

The stallion looked up and saw his Special Somepony's face barely peeking above water... everything else was invisible beneath the murky depths.

He turned to Apple Buck:

"Go get the nearest grown-up you can find! Please hurry!"

The little pony took off like a shot, disappearing behind the trees. Butterscotch flew over the water, looking down at Elusive. The Unicorn still had a sense of humor about him:

"This is quite a spot, isn't it?"

"Give me your hoof," said Butterscotch, extending a foreleg.

"It's worth a shot," said Elusive. "These weeds are pretty strong, though. I don't know if you'll be able to break them dear."

"Elusive, hush now, and give me your darn hoof!" Snapped Butterscotch. "I don't want you to drown!"

Clumsily, the Unicorn threw his hoof at the flying Pegasus... who managed to catch it. The two held on tight.

"Please don't let go," said Butterscotch, pulling with all his might.

"Please don't let me go," replied Elusive, also pulling with Butterscotch.

The stuck stallion did not budge, despite their greatest efforts... still they tried, and ultimately it made matters worse for them both. Butterscotch tried to hold on to Elusive, but his grip slipped and, as if on a rubber band, the pony was shot back into the darkness... to be tangled by other weeds. Tension mounted in the Pegasus's stomach when he did not rise up on his own.

Butterscotch had two choices now -- get help or do something. The later seemed better, though a thousand times scarier, but what choice did he have? He took a breath, holding on to every ounce of courage he had... praying to Lord Solaris that his wings wouldn't get tangled. At least they'd be together if that happened.

* * *

Elusive first panicked under the cold water, but gradually felt more at ease as it all washed over him. The further he drifted into the murky depths, the warmer things became. Eventually, when all was calm and warm, and he felt at peace, gradually, he fell asleep in the warm bliss... completely at ease.

"Elusive!" Echoed a distant, familiar voice. "Elusive, open your eyes!"

But I feel divine here! Why should I stop resting for you?

"Please Elusive..." Echoed a second, slightly more distant voice, much higher and feminine than the first. "Don't be dead! I love you!"

Dead? Me? But I'm just resting!

The calm beneath the waves began to fade as Elusive felt his eyes and head shift with sharp irritation.

Somepony just slapped me?

His head begin to throb in response, and with a rush his body jerked forward... then he threw up.

The stallion's eyes drew wide as pond water poured from his maw. He saw two purple creatures above him, but didn't care about that right now. His body felt clammy and cold. After he was done puking, he shivered and shook in shock. Then, before he even recovered... the poor Unicorn was overloaded:

"You're alive!" Exclaimed Dusk Shine above him, even though at that moment he wished he wasn't.

"Elusive!" Cried Barb the dragon. "I'm so happy you're okay!"

"Oh, Elusive!" Quietly cried Butterscotch from behind the two. The stallion cantered around the two to his Special Somepony's side and hugged him. "I was so scared!"

Elusive, still in a daze, patted Butterscotch on the back and sighed deeply. He was okay. He looked down... The Pegasus was just as soaked and dirty as he was.

Looking up at the pristine Alicorn, he managed to mutter, despite his state:

"Dusk Shine... you saved us?"

The Prince smiled bashfully:

"Actually... Butterscotch should be taking credit for this one. Me and Barb here just arrived a few minutes ago as he was pulling you out."

Elusive gently pulled on Butterscotch so they were now face-to-face:

"Sweetheart... you saved my life?"

Butterscotch nodded shyly.

The Pegasus and Unicorn locked lips in front of their friends, one who barely even flinched at the sight, while the other's jaw dropped all the way to the ground. Seeing two ponies together and so happy in a passionate kiss, the Alicorn smiled. Looking to Dusk Shine first, Barb was getting ready to open her mouth, ask some type of question, but with just a glance she knew better.... though it hurt her heart not to ask what she wanted to, she stifled it like a fiery sneeze.

When the kiss was over, Elusive pulled away from Butterscotch and asked:

"How did you manage to do it without magic?"

Butterscotch just grinned nervously:

"I-I don't know! I went under and got tangled, too... but I managed to free myself, then I swam to the bottom and managed to free you, too. You were tangled in so many, I thought they were going to get me, too!"

"He was just lucky, Elusive," said Dusk Shine. "And good thing, too... judging by the waters, I wouldn't have been able to see either of you. By the time I would have found you with my magic, it probably would have been too late. Apple Buck said you saved him, Elusive. I don't know if I would even want to swim in those waters... from what he described there might be some aggressive plants that came in on the breeze from the Everfree.. the type of plants that like to tangle ponies up. I'm going to have to stay here and investigate, possibly cast a spell... I'm glad you two are okay and together again. I can tell the relationship you both have is quite special."

Both stallions turned to their supreme friend:

"Guess our secrets out now, huh?" Asked Elusive. "Not that you didn't know about me... but us?" The stallion pointed at the dragon. "And now Barb knows, too..."

Butterscotch nodded.

"You're Colt Cuddlers!" Finally exclaimed Barb, looking directly at Elusive and Butterscotch with accusing eyes. "I... I had no idea!"

Dusk Shine laughed:

"So what if they are, Barb?" He asked his dragon assistant, looking directly into her eyes. "Isn't it better to see them happy than anything else?"

Barb shuffled her feet:

"Yeah, well... I guess."

"Barb, if you need to talk to Elusive or Butterscotch sometime without me around, I understand."

The dragon kicked the stones beneath her feet, not looking up:

"No, I'm good..."

"We'll treat you to a nice ice cream at the Sugar Cube Corner." Said Butterscotch, encouragingly.

"Yes, dear, we certainly will when we're in better spirits." Replied Elusive, sneezing up pond water. "Don't think this changes anything. You're still my cute lil rose barb and always will be..."

Barb smiled, looking up at the wet ponies as Dusk Shine addressed his friends:

"I learned years ago from Bubble Berry that if a friend wants you to keep a secret about them, you'd better do it... or else you could lose that friend forever. If you two are in love, I don't have a problem with it. I kind of suspected it, actually... I thought you already knew that."

Elusive's eyes lit up, his mind drifting back to a conversation they'd all had at the Corner earlier that morning:

"So, you're not going to tell everyone we're Special Someponies?"

"Let me think..." Dusk Shine scratched the side of his head with a wing. "That's a no, Elusive."

"I won't either..." Said Barb, still sounding dejected.

Both stallions looked at each other, then casuallyed cantered up to their sage friend and dragon. They gave them each a hug.

"Thank you!" Exclaimed Butterscotch.

"Yes, thank you!" Exclaimed Elusive, giving Barb a sharp peck on the cheek.

Barb fell over in surprise and bliss while Dusk Shine replied his friends:

"Hey, I'm just being a true friend."

"Yes," replied Elusive, thinking back to a song that once uplifted all their spirits when they were all confused about their path and identities. "A true friend..."

The Alicorn Prince beamed a grin as he accepted and returned,their warm embrace along with his assistant. His assistant wouldn't tell... Barb felt happy and empty at the same time, but that had to be her problem... Elusive and Butterscotch made a good couple and that was all there was to it.

Author's Note

I don't know if adventure fits in this story, but it was fun, and gives an excuse for them to get closer.

Wet

"Wet"

Despite their original destination being Butterscotch's quaint cottage just outside Ponyville, the stallions chose the longer road through town, towards Elusive's botique. Soaked and covered in algae from the pond, ponies made way as the two walked the street. Elusive's place at least had all the creature comforts they'd need after an event like that.

"We're home!" Elusive shouted into his empty establishment as the door swung open. His tone became sing-songy. "Alexandrite! Come see Daddy... dearest kitty, you have no idea how close you came to never seeing him again today!"

The tomcat disinterestedly made his approach, preparing to rub up against Elusive's shin until he smelled the ick all over him and backed away.

"Well, that's completely understandable." Elusive chuckled. "You'll be fed all the same, you silly little thing!"

Behind Elusive Butterscotch came in, watching him drip algae all over the floor:

"I really think we should shower first."

"True, true..." The Unicorn looked down at the algae all over his tiled floor. He turned to face Butterscotch and smiled coyly. "I'm simply exhausted, darling... what do you say we shower together to save time?"

Butterscotch blushed:

"Oh, my..."

"Well, we don't have to." Elusive replied, plainly. "It would just be more... efficient, to sat the least. And fun!"

Butterscotch turned away, thinking... hiding his face. His thoughts raced a mile a minute on all that could happen in that warm, tiny shower, but he had a definite answer after just a couple of seconds:

"Okay Elusive..."

Even though he'd almost died not even two hours before, Elusive grinned... wanting to draw this out a bit more:

"What's that, dear?"

The Pegasus turned to his algae covered Special Somepony, blushing even brighter now:

"I'll shower with you... it does sound fun."

"Splendid!" The posh Unicorn played it cool. "Follow me, if you please..."

* * *

Inside the bathroom, Butterscotch stepped into the cozy shower. It was barely big enough to fit two mares, let alone two stallions. Elusive nearly leapt in and turned on the water with his magic... steam filled the air within seconds, the warm water felt good against their damp, clammy coats. After just a few minutes, the feeling of ick faded and it started to feel as though they were at the sauna.

At first, they stood there cleaning themselves as any pony would in a shower... but then Elusive noticed a spot Butterscotch missed near his haunches, and cleaned it for him with a facecloth... not using his magic, but his mouth.

"Thanks," said Butterscotch, looking at Elusive through his wet, pink mane. "I always have trouble reaching that spot."

"Oh, it's no trouble at all," Elusive said, inspecting his Special Somepony's rump, then giving it a kiss. "You are clean!"

Butterscotch, wriggling and blushing from the kiss, looked towards the shower curtain, already considering getting out... when he felt Elusive nudge him gently, back towards the middle of the shower.

"Hey!" He said, giggling.

"Oh, sorry," Elusive replied, now face-to-face with Butterscotch. "It's this accursed floor... it's so slippery!"

The Unicorn winked, yet the Pegasus tried to answer directly:

"But I'm not having a problem keeping my-"

Elusive cut him off with a deep kiss. His eyes went wide, but he gave in pretty quickly... and allowed his Special Somepony's tongue to slide gently into his mouth. Their tongues fought, but not for long... Butterscotch was quick to submit. It tickled pleasantly and made the kiss more passionate... this was their first French kiss that became this energized. Soon the Pegasus found himself backed up against the wall by the curtain, being pressed hard against it. The Unicorn tenderly took a hoof and caressed his Special Somepony's stomach and chest... then went a little lower and began to rub rhythmically. This wasn't a passing touch this time at all... his hoof was there to stimulate.

"Oh..." Butterscotch broke away from the kiss. "Elusive!"

"Does that feel good?" Elusive asked playfully, licking his lips while looking down at Butterscotch's dangling bits becoming engorged. "I want to do this... make you feel good. It's more than me just saying thank-you, darling... I've wanted to do this for a while. What do you say, hmm? Oh, do say yes..."

Overwhelmed, all Butterscotch could do was blush and shrink into a little ball as he was lovingly stroked. Elusive bit down on his ear as he rolled to his side and sprawled out. Straddling the submissive stallion, the Unicorn and Pegasus kissed deep. Without realizing it, Elusive began bucking his hips, their bits in direct contact... grinding hard against each other. On top, Elusive put both hooves on Butterscotch's shoulders, holding him... tight and still. The Pegasus responded by shivering in delight. Warm water and steam surrounded and enveloped them both, and in this bliss both hoped the moment would last forever.

Elusive broke the kiss, waiting for his Special Somepony to speak, patient as always... but when he noticed Butterscotch was looking off to the side with a blank stare, the bucking ceased... and didn't resume despite the fake smile the Pegasus shot in his direction.

"All I want is to make you feel good, Butterscotch," he said, sighing. "If you're not ready... that's fine. We can always do other things..."

"It's not that," Butterscotch responded, looking Elusive eye-to-eye. "I just wanted it to be different my first time."

Elusive immediately perked an ear:

"Oh? How so?"

"Well..." Butterscotch hesitated. "I'm afraid you might think I'm pulling your tail if I ask you, or that you'll think I'm asking too much..."

"You can tell me, dear," Elusive smiled big. "I won't judge you... promise. The worst thing I can do is say is no, right?"

Butterscotch took a breath. He spoke quickly and quietly:

"Elusive, I kinda, really... want you to mount me."

The posh Unicorn lost some dignity as his jaw dropped and his nose nearly bled:

"Come again, dear? Did you just say you want me to mount you?"

The Pegasus hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, please."

"Alright... if that's what you want, dear, then I'm more than happy to oblige."

The timid Pegasus's eyes lit up:

"You are?"

"Certainly," the Unicorn chuckled, narrowing his eyes at the Pegasus. "Just please allow me two shakes of a colt's tail to get everything together."

Butterscotch stayed where he was as Elusive turned off the water and stepped outside.

"Come on," said Elusie, sensing his partner's nervousness. "Out with me, dear. You'll dry better! Don't be shy... you know I don't bite. Actually, that is not true... I do like to chew on your yummy-nummy ears!"

Butterscotch slowly stepped out, smiling at Elusive's silliness. Elusive elevated a towel and passed it to his special somepony, along with his personalized bathrobe.

"Now stay there," gently commanded the Unicorn, leaving the bathroom. "I'm going to make sure we have no problems with waste first... okay?"

"Okay..."

Intimacy

Intimacy

Only a mere five minutes later, everything was taken care of... at this point all it would take is time, so Elusive put his hooves up. The posh Unicorn found himself dressed in his personalized bathrobe, donning glasses while sitting on the couch in his den, reading a romance novel.... finding that it did not stack up to the real thing. He had a sterile black saddle bag nestled under his hind legs like a hassock. The Unicorn already knew Butterscotch would be upstairs in his bathroom for a while... and had prepared him for it:

"This is by far the yuckiest part," he'd said, using his magic to open the black sterile bag. "Not entirely necessary, but I think it will put our both minds at ease. Now, turn around..."

"What're you going to do to me?" Butterscotch asked, as Elusive used his magic to lift his tail. "Oh, my goodness..."

"This is called a Fleet Enema, dear,' said Elusive. "Shouldn't take more than half an hour. Now you're going to feel a slight pinch..."

"How bad of a-"

Butterscotch didn't get to finish that sentence. Elusive, being as gentle as he could, slowly stuck the tip of the enema into his backside until it stopped at the proper distance inside. Looking at his face, the Unicorn could surmise that his mate did indeed feel a pinch... thought he hadn't released the liquid just yet.

"You okay, Butterscotch, dear?"

Butterscotch nodded, slowly but surely:

"I'm f-fine."

"Okay... here comes the unpleasant part."

All was silent for a good, long moment. Butterscotch took a deep breath in anticipation, then... Elusive's horn pulsed three times and the bottle was emptied. Butterscotch gasped in surprise; Elusive watched his face turn crimson. The eyes of the Pegasus suggested that he felt the liquid, cool and concentrated, coating his insides. The Unicorn knew from experience that it wasn't painful, but it wasn't exactly pleasant. Butterscotch closed his eyes and exhaled, clearly trusting Elusive... and soon enough, it was over.

Without a word, the Unicorn pulled it out and gave the Pegasus a kiss:

"Once it kicks in, you''ll be happy to be in here..." He smiled. "My bidet is going to be your very best friend, and you'll likely feel quite empty by the end!"

While a bit embarrassed thinking over the prospects of what he'd just been told, Butterscotch still had a sense of humor about him:

"Elusive... you sound just like Zicoro!"

The Unicorn chuckled:

"How true! Now I shall bid to you a due..." Elusive paused. "That one wasn't as good... nonetheless, darling, privacy is paramount.... unless having me watch is something you'd like?"

Butterscotch quickly shook his head.

"That's what I figured..."

Elusive then closed the door, blowing his Special Somepony a kiss. Though nervous, Butterscotch smiled and blew one back before the door shut completely.

* * *

Elusive, now enjoying a mug of warm herbal tea, waited for Butterscotch to emerge from the restroom... or call out to him in desperation. As expected, he'd heard the toilet flush a few times. He was patient, as always. Eventually he heard the sound of hooves above him, walking across the floor and descending a few stairs. The Pegasus looked at him from the top step, dry but not in his bathrobe anymore. He had an uncomfortable smile on his face.

"All done I think..." He said, meekly. "It made my tummy ache some, and I'm a little sore now, but... Elusive, I've only gone like that when I'm really sick!"

Elusive, though concerned, was smiling warmly. He asked an important question:

"Too sore now?"

Butterscotch shook his head:

"N-no..."

The Unicorn got up, setting his tea down:

"Well, Butterscotch... I am quite sorry to hear about your belly and rump, but... if you still wish to enjoy a good romp with your Special Somepony, please head for my room and make yourself comfortable. All you'll have to do is just lay there and I'll take care of the rest myself!"

* * *

Butterscotch found himself sprawled out on Elusive's bed. He was alone longer than expected, the sound of the clock on the wall resonated throughout the room. Tick. Tick. Scanning his body, he noticed that he did in fact feel more empty than he had in years... but knew that wouldn't last. He was nervous, the muscles in his back rippled nearly in time with the clock.

Elusive came suddenly through the door, causing Butterscotch to jump. The Pegasus stifled his fear as best he could. In contrast, Elusive glowed with happiness, preparing for this task with more zest than he did most others.

"Sit tight and we shall starting soon, dear..." Elusive said, rubbing the still rippling back of his mate. "Oh, my... please don't be nervous. I'm going to be listening to what you have to say as well as what your body says, too!"

The Pegasus trusted his Special Somepony and did his best to relax. Looking over his shoulder, through his mane, he watched Elusive peel off his bathrobe and pull supplies from his little back saddle bag:

First thing Butterscotch saw emerge was a small black tube, roughly the size and shape of a tube of travel shampoo. A towel and pillow followed, both of which were promptly placed under Butterscotch's hips via Elusive's gentle, but firm, magic. Then out came what looked like a pearl necklace... except the pearls went from tiny to exceptionally large. They spelled out the word "HABSRO" on the larger pearls. Then what came was small black wrapper.. containing a circular shaped object which looked like candy.

"Are you ready?" The Unicorn asked, using his magic to levitate the black tube high.

Butterscotch nodded shyly, wincing and lifting his tail. Seeing his distress, the Unicorn's cocky grin faded:

"We really don't have to do this, dear. There are other ways we can-"

"I-I want to," said Butterscotch, firmly. "I like having you close to me, holding me tight. I want to try this... I'm scared, but ready for it."

Elusive patted his head, sighing:

"Okay then... As I implied earlier, if any part of this disagrees with you, let me know and we'll stop. Okay?"

Again, the Pegasus slowly nodded.

With his magic, Elusive lifted Butterscotch's tail all the way. He knew what was coming, or at least had an idea. A dollop was taken from the black tube, and applied it to where the sun don't shine. Butterscotch shivered and wiggled:

"Oh, my..."

"It will make it easer," Elusive said, clinically. "It's lubrication. Trust me, dear... it will start out feeling like an oval-shaped peg being driven into an oddly starfish shaped hold, but everything together will help you loosen up and then... oh, my goodness, it's just uphill from there."

"Okay..."

Surprisingly to Butterscotch, Elusive did not immediately mount him... but instead grabbed the beads.

"What are those for?" Asked the Pegasus.

"You'll see," replied Elusive, still keeping his tail up, this time with a hood.

The Pegasus lay there for a second trying to comprehend what was next... it didn't take him very long to figure it out. The beads disappeared around his back end, and he felt their plastic-covered exterior touch a very personal place on his body...

"Oh, MY!" He shuttered as the beads were pressed up against his back end.

"You okay?" Asked the tender Unicorn.

Butterscotch nodded.

With a hoof lovingly patting his back, Elusive gently inserted the first bead, watching Butterscotch's face. He sort of shrunk back and winced cutely as the first of the bead made its way in. Elusive continued to pat his back, using his magic to get another bead up there. Again, the Pegasus winced with a combination of pleasure and discomfort, Elusive could plainly see that. One by one, notch after notch, the string was inserted... the beads getting smaller towards the end, but that did not make it easier. It slowed down towards the last bead and finally stopped, leaving just a thin string exposed.

"Oh, that feels like too much..." Whimpered the Pegasus. "Please.... no more."

"It's okay," Elusive said lovingly. "Honestly, I can't fit anymore in there... are you ready for the next step?"

"What n-next step?" Replied Butterscotch, his eyes wide with apprehension.

Elusive licked him:

"Do you trust me, Butterscotch? If I told you flat-out, it would most likely make you nervous... this is going to make the whole escapade a lot more pleasant for you. It will warm you up, so to speak... now, are you ready?"

The Pegasus nervously nodded his head:

"Okay, Elusive... I trust you. J-just please don't do anything too rough to me."

"This is going to be a bit like pulling a band aid off.... but it's going to feel great at the same time."

Butterscotch braced himself, tightening up all his muscles without realizing it.... especially the ones that were about to get the most relief.

Despite the tightening, Elusive acted fast. His horn shone brilliantly as he quickly used his magic to yank out the beads from Butterscotch's behind. The Pegasus shirked in surprise and horror, collapsing onto the bed and letting out a moan of both pain and pleasure... his insides felt relief once more.

"You okay?" Elusive asked again, nuzzling his Special Somepony's neck.

The Pegasus nodded weakly:

"Yeah..." He said, stretching out and sighing. "You're starting to sound like a broken record, Elusive, always asking me if I'm okay..."

"That's because I love you, silly."

Though Butterscotch's words did not sound enthusiastic, his body said otherwise. It was relaxed and willing, he had the deep blush of arousal... but Elusive still peeked at him before continuing, checking to see that his excitement had died down. The Pegasus was at full-mast and so was he.

* * *

Butterscotch was known for the stare, a look that could make most animals bend to his will... it was Elusive's turn to show him his version of the stare. The Pegasus blushed, and nodded... then they both knew what was coming next.

The Unicorn casually walked up behind Butterscotch, just out of his field of vision. The Pegasus heard the tearing of a wrapper, and the placement of some rubbery object around some very large, taught, thick pole. Snap! He knew what this was and he let out a small eep in apprehension. Though he could barely see, he saw enough... the Unicorn pulled back to his hind legs, then allowed his body to fall, resting his barrel against Butterscotch's haunches. His full weight was on the Pegasus. All the yellow stallion had to do was look back into his eyes and that was enough to be sure. Frightened or not, this was something he definitely wanted.

Elusive got on his back legs again, forcefully throwing his weight on his mate as if belly flopping up the stairs. Their shared weight compressed the mattress beneath them... Elusive locked his forelegs around Butterscotch's hips, then it was time.

Butterscotch felt the rocking first as he moved his tail aside. Then then felt Elusive's massive, rubber-coated stallionhood drag against his haunches. The Unicorn gently, but firmly, bucked his hips... searching for his mark. Since he had experience, he found it fairly quickly, and Butterscotch eep'd, but he did not insert. The bucking stopped and instead he pulled himself down so his steamy breath was felt aside the Pegasus's ear. As he breathed in his musk and exhaled, he whispered:

"Okay, Butterscotch." He gently bucked as he counted down. "3... 2... 1..."

He pushed it a little further each time, quickly finding where there was give. Butterscotch eep'd in surprise as the tip briefly slipped inside.

"Relax, Butterscotch," said the Unicorn, nibbling on the Pegasus's ear. "If you don't, it's really going to hurt and that won't be fun for either of us."

Butterscotch did his best to loosen up and, true to his word, Elusive was gentle and slow... but it was no easy task. To Butterscotch, it felt like Elusive was trying to go into a place that would naturally reject anything going inside of it. To Elusive, Butterscotch was tight... very tight, almost like a vice. He fought the temptation to press harder and go deeper, and eventually... inch by inch, he made it inside.

"Easy! Easy!" Butterscotch cried, wincing.

"I'm only in a bit, darling," replied Elusive. "Are you alright?"

Butterscotch nodded:

"Please no deeper..."

"Don't worry, sweetie.... I'm planning to be quite gentle."

Elusive brought back his hips, then pressed forward... gently rocking the two ponies on the bed. Butterscotch bit his lip.

A very personal part of Butterscotch was tightly binding of a very sensitive part of Elusive. It did hurt at first, a lot, but the Pegasus fought the urge to cry. Back and forth the stallion went, always watching his partners face... gradually, the pained look faded. The discomfort declined at around the same time. Elusive tested this by going deeper.

It had began as painful, grown to uncomfortable... but now, after just a few mere minutes, that was subsiding. Butterscotch simply shut his eyes and sighed while Elusive bit the back of his neck, going at it at a more reasonable pace for himself. Butterscotch's breathing when from pained and shallow to deep and enraptured... Elusive knew he was taking it well and not regretting this.

"Mmmm..." Butterscotch managed to sound out before Elusive got a chance to ask him. "Oh... my, my..."

With his mate relaxed, Elusive knew they were over the worst... just clear sailing from there. They'd built up a rhythm, nearly a groove, and it felt divine. Butterscotch was completely relaxed and let himself drift off as Elusive bit his ear. The Pegasus said, weakly:

"I'm glad I gave this a chance."

The Unicorn snuggled into his warm, clean mane and neck fur and sighed.

"Me too, darling. Me too!"

They both laughed... it was short-lived. Elusive stopped and disconnected himself.

"What's wrong?" Butterscotch asked. "It wasn't hurting anymore... in fact, I was really starting to like it."

They both looked down at Elusive's fully erect member. The condom had slipped off as a result of the pulling and was laying beside Butterscotch. They looked to each other... Elusive shrugged and Butterscotch did the same:

"Continue, dear? I'm not sick with anything and I trust you aren't. What do you say?"

"...okay."

Elusive grabbed his mate's hips and flipped him over. Now face-to-face, with no barriers between them, the two stallion's locked lips. Butterscotch tucked his forelegs in and raised his rear. Nature took over and they resumed, looking into each other's eyes with a lone string of saliva between the two. This was bliss. Face-to-face their musk was overpowering. To top it off, the sensation was all the more greater without the condom, in this more.. natural position.

Elusive felt the sharp twinge of pleasure in his loins. He fought it for the moment, but each thrust, though short, brought him closer all the same. Though it had come on much earlier than expected, his experience had never given him a pony he loved this much.

"I'm close," he said. "In or out... time is of the essence, dear."

"What?" Butterscotch asked, obliviously.

"Please tell me where..." Elusive held Butterscotch tight, fighting a losing battle that would have curled his toes if he had any. "Oh, I can't hold it!"

"Gah!" Butterscotch felt the moist twinge inside of him. It was too late for him to decide.

Elusive jerked forward as the Pegasus instinctively tightened up. It was too tight for Elusive to easily pull out... he lost his strength and control in the throes of passion and that was that. Butterscotch had been filled.

Both ponies let out a sigh. They'd done it and they were both content. Afterwards Elusive quickly shrunk, withdrawing his member from his mate. They then relaxed in complete bliss.

* * *

Elusive, satisfied and spent, was laying on top of his mate. Butterscotch curiously looked up at him.

"Inside of you, darling," Elusive panted pensively. "So sorry about that."

"Oh, it doesn't bother me at all..." replied Butterscotch. "Since we are Special Someponies after all."

Barely mustering up the strength to even move, the spent pony picked himself up and pulled himself in front of the Pegasus. He looked down at his stomach. Butterscotch's, too... he had a partial, with tiny a bit of sticky substance around his stomach.

"You didn't find release in all that...?"

Butterscotch smiled uncomfortably:

"It's alright, Elusive. I don't mind as long as you had fun."

"I did, darling but you need to, too... it's only right."

"Really, Elusive! I'm fi-"

Elusive kissed Butterscotch between the legs on top of his big prize. The partial he was sporting was now at full-mast once more. Looking up at his mate, the Unicorn enveloped the tip and began to suckle... Butterscotch quickly melted in his mouth. Using his full lips and skilled tongue, Elusive knew what he was doing. Butterscotch had never felt anything quite like this... he rarely even touched himself, much less with something so warm, wet, and perfect for it. He shut his eyes and relaxed, giving himself once more to his Special Somepony.

Elusive bobbed his head with a smirk. Butterscotch felt his breath against his loins and threw his head back in ecstasy. Clearly, he was enjoying this... so was Elusive. Doing little 360s around the head with his tongue, Elusive's skill at swallowing also came in handy... this was all for Butterscotch.

It did not take long. Elusive's skill, combined with Butterscotch's lack of experience and trust in his mate were a recipe for an early, very sticky release. He cried out in rapture and Elusive got a mouthful... it was his guess, from the taste and quantity, that not only did Butterscotch enjoy himself... but it was his first release all week. Being the gentlepony that he is, Elusive naturally swallowed what came. He then pulled his head back, so that he and his mate were face-to-face once again. He swallowed the residual seed in his mouth, then kissed his partner deeply. The two ponies then then lay side-by-side and rested in bed.

"I love you, Elusive," said Butterscotch, as the sun set outside.

"Oh, I love you, too, Butterscotch. So very much."

Coda

The ponies told their friends about their wonderful relationship, but it took a long time. Dusk Shine was true to his word, as was Barb, and when their friends found out, they were all quite surprised but supportive... even Apple Jack.

Soon enough, all of Ponyville found out about them... and it was no different than any other couple. Elusive lost a couple clients from Canterlot, possibly because of his lifestyle, and Butterscotch heard a few mean jokes about Colt Cuddlers told deliberately within his earshot, but they had each other, and their friends... and blessing of the Lords of the Sun and Moon. It's hard to have the few, contentious ponies much matter when everything else seems to accepting and loving. They'd found their place in the sun, and they didn't even need to leave Ponyville to do it.

The End

Author's Note

Thanks for reading!

This was originally written a bit of a joke and one-shot, but I decided to flesh it out a little and give it a small adventure in the middle. Dunno if it works, I had fun writing this and saw a few things in it worth sharing.

Peace out :)
