The Most Delightful Shade of Red
"Good morning, Twilight," Rarity greeted as Twilight Sparkle opened the door to the library. "Might Spike be available today?"
"Good Morning, Rarity," replied Twilight. "He's upstairs cleaning our room."
"He's always such a busy boy," stated Rarity. "Do you think I could borrow him for the day?"
"Borrow him?" asked Twilight in a puzzled tone.
"Yes, dear," replied Rarity. "I feel that I may be losing touch with my element and I thought treating Spikey-Wikey to a special day of pampering for all his hard work would help bring out the generosity in me."
Twilight was confused.
"What makes you think you're losing touch with your element?" she asked. "You've more than shown you deserve it since the day we all became entrusted with The Elements of Harmony."
Rarity sighed.
"Look, Twilight," she said in a far more humble tone. "We both know that Spike has done a lot for all of us. We also know he doesn't often get any reward for what he does either."
Twilight said nothing.
"When I think of it," said Rarity. "I feel that it is Spike who deserves to have the Element of Generosity and not me."
"Rarity..." said Twilight.
"Hush, darling," Rarity stated dramatically. "There is no excuse for how we've forgotten how truly generous Spike has been to all of us. And that is why I'd like to spend a day with him."
"Well," sighed Twilight. "If spending a day with Spike will help you feel better about yourself, I am all for it."
Twilight called for Spike to come down. He was wearing his cute, frilly apron and showed a very obvious expression of excitement when he saw Rarity standing at the door. She was even wearing the fire ruby he had given her awhile back. She looked absolutely wonderful.
"Spike," said Twilight. "I'm giving you the day off."
"Really?" asked Spike with disbelief.
"Yes," she replied. "Rarity has asked to treat you to a special day in honor of all you have done for us."
"She, she has?" Spike asked with awe.
"Yes, darling," stated Rarity. "Now come along."
After a quick farewell, Rarity and Spike were on their way to the Carousel Boutique. Upon arriving, Rarity made her intentions more clear to the little dragon.
"Spike," she said. "When is the last time you can say someone has done something really special for you without expecting something in return?"
"I don't need anything in return," he replied confidently. "Knowing I'm here for you, Twilight, and every pony else is reward enough for me."
"That's just it, darling," stated Rarity. "I believe you were the one meant to have the Element of Generosity. Not me."
"Don't say that!" stated Spike. "You're very generous and a wonderful friend!"
"Oh, sweetie," she said as she gave Spike a gentle kiss on the cheek. "You're far too kind. And that is why I want to treat you to a most special day."
Spike was wobbling with delight from the kiss and lost in thought for how happy he felt receiving it.
"Come along, darling," stated Rarity.
"You know, Spike," stated Rarity as they made their way to one of her dressing rooms. "Something that has been nagging at me is how I was so rude to the Cake's when they were in such dire need of help babysitting their little ones."
"Rude?" asked Spike. "How could you ever be rude to any pony?"
"Oh, Spike," she said while putting a hoof gently to his chest. "I know this is to be your special day, but could you help me know what it is like to be a mother?"
Spike was confused, but the way Rarity's hoof was gently pushing upon his chest as she stared at him with her brilliant, blue eyes made it impossible for him to say no.
"Sure," he said.
"Oh, thank you," Rarity cooed as she used her magic to bring a white garment over from a nearby table. "Now, put this on for me."
Spike unfolded the garment and found it to be a very soft, cloth diaper with Rarity's cutie mark embroidered on its front.
Rarity smiled and nodded as she noticed his puzzled look.
"Ah, okay," said Spike as he tried to put the garment on.
"Wait!" cried Rarity. "I'm the mother and putting your diaper on is my job!"
Before Spike could say anything, Rarity used her magic to levitate him to a nearby cushion. She then gently put him down on his back and looked down upon him.
"You truly are adorable, Spikey-Pooh," she said while using her magic to lift the dragon's hindquarters up. "Now hold still, please."
Rarity took her hooves and delicately began to slip the special diaper onto Spike. As she did, she couldn't help but smile upon getting a good look at his adorable, chubby rump.
"Oh!" she gasped. "I almost forgot the powder."
Rarity brought a bottle of powder over and began to dust Spike's front and backside with it. The way it fell upon his bubbly cheeks made it impossible for her to resist a touch.
Spike sighed happily as he felt Rarity touch his tush. He got so relaxed that he didn't even notice the amount of care she took in the completion of his diapering.
"There!" she said while looking down at Spike. "Don't you just look so adorable!"
Spike looked down and smiled as he saw Rarity's cutie mark upon the front of the super-soft garment that now was wrapped around his waist.
"Okay," said Rarity as she brought a pacifier over from the table she had gotten the diaper from. "Try this for me."
Spike was initially reluctant. However, when he spotted a large, juicy, sapphire was attached to it, he gladly opened his mouth and began to suckle.
"D'aww," cooed Rarity as she rubbed her muzzle into Spike's pudgy tummy. "You're so adorable!"
Spike blushed as he felt all ticklish from how Rarity was pressing in on his tummy. He was being babied, but it felt too good to say no to.
Rarity looked to Spike's face and noticed how his eyes had closed and how much cuter his facial cheeks look as he sucked upon the sapphire pacifier.
"You truly are a handsome, young dragon," she complimented while putting her hooves to his cheeks and gently playing with them. She then gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead.
"Mmm," he hummed as he shivered from the feeling of getting another kiss. The action bringing Rarity's attention to his claws and feet.
"These claws are so overworked," she said sympathetically as she brought some lotion over, put it on her hoof, and began to rub about Spike's claws. "A young, dashing dragon shouldn't have such harsh feelings claws."
Spike said nothing. Though, another part of his body had begun to speak for him.
"Oh, my," Rarity said with a blush upon noticing Spike's diaper beginning to rise up. "Is some pony a happy dragon?"
Spike blushed deeper as he became aware of how his 'Dinky Dragon' was pressing firmly against the super-soft diaper Rarity had put him in.
"That's okay," she said with a giggle. "You are a big boy, after all."
Spike was feeling the urge to touch his 'Dinky Dragon'. However, as Celestia had taught him, he should only do it in private.
"It's okay," said Rarity. "You can touch it if you want to."
Spike's cheeks had completely gone from green to red as he slipped his claw down his diaper and felt at his not-so 'Dinky Dragon'.
Rarity's blush increased upon taking in the sight. It was even better than when she had given Spike that bath a few weeks back. She just had to take a picture.
Seeing as Spike's eyes were still closed, she carefully used her magic to bring a camera over, positioned it over Spike, and touch a snapshot.
Spike removed his claw from the diaper and pulled out the sapphire pacifier.
"What was that?" he asked.
"Oh, nothing," Rarity replied bashfully. "Whose hungry?"
The thought of food made Spike forget about what that clicking sound was he heard.
"Ooh!" he exclaimed. "I could really go for some gems right now."
"That's what I thought," stated Rarity as she used her magic to place Spike upon her back. "Now hold on, sweetie."
Rarity had positioned Spike so that he was facing behind her. She had also put him very close to her flank. So, when Spike reached down to take hold he found himself gripping into her backside.
Spike blushed as he felt his claws dig into Rarity's rump. It was so soft. Even softer than the diaper she had put him into. He knew if he let go that he would fall, but he also knew it was rude to be feeling her backside so tightly. It was a dilemma for sure. One in which, unknown to Spike, Rarity was enjoying a lot.
"Okay, Spikey-Pooh," cooed Rarity as she used her magic to sit him in one of the chair's at her kitchen table. "I'll be right back with your lunch."
Spike brought his claws to his face and smiled. If this was a dream, he certainly didn't want it to end.
"Here you go, sweetie!" she stated upon placing a bowl filled with tiny gems in front of him. "Bon Appetit!"
Spike was about to dig into the tasty, shiny gems when Rarity abruptly interrupted him.
"Wait just a moment, Spikey-Wikey," she said while using her magic to bring a bib over and fastening it around him with her hooves. She then gave him another kiss on the forehead before stating, "Enjoy,"
Spike was stunned by getting yet another kiss. So stunned, in fact, that he didn't realize he had started to suck upon his claw after eating his first bite of gems.
"ooh!" cooed Rarity with delight. "So adorable!"
This was yet another moment for the camera. So, with the same stealth as before, she took a snapshot of her little Spikey-Wikey looking extra cute.
"Wha?" asked Spike as the camera click snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Just a sppon, darling," stated Rarity as she nuzzled against Spike's cheek. "Here, let me help you."
Rarity spoon fed Spike the rest of the gems.
"Okay," she said cheerfully while picking Spike up, putting him over her shoulders, and standing on her hind legs. "Give mommy a burp."
Rarity gently patted her hoof upon Spike's back while allowing her other hoof to feel the outline of his rump through the diaper she had put upon him.
"BWARF!" Spike burped as green flames spewed outward.
"That's a good boy," stated Rarity as she nuzzled more against Spike's cheeks. "Now, let's get you all ready for your nap. I know you love taking naps."
Rarity put Spike upon her back with her magic and headed for her bedroom. Once here, she sat upon her bed with Spike positioned over her shoulders again.
"Okay, Spikey-Pooh," she cooed while rhythmically patting his padded backside. "Time to go sleepy-bye."
Spike yawned as he felt his eyelids growing heavy. The relaxing thumping upon his rump lulling him to sleep as Rarity hummed softly.
"That's it, my little Spikey-Wikey," she whispered while rubbing her hoof upon his bottom. "Go to sleep."
It wasn't long before Spike had totally given in to slumber. The way he grew limp in her embrace made Rarity all the more pleased.
"Oh, Spike," she said while placing him so his head rested upon her pillow. She then watched as he instinctively inserted his claw into his mouth and began to suckle upon it. His cheeks blushing all cute as he did.
"You are just too sweet," she commented while tucking him in. She then gave him a kiss and whispered, "I'll be back to check in on you shortly, my adorable Spikey-Pooh."
Rarity closed the curtains and headed back out to her boutique. One part of her feeling quite naughty for what she was doing. Another wondering if she'd ever find some pony who loved and appreciated her as much as Spike. And still another part of her totally confused as to why she had such feelings for him.
To Be Continued?
Author's Note
A sequel of sorts to "The Cutest, Little, Chubby Cheeks" that follows the events set forth in "Spike's Little Dragon".
The goal in this work is to create a sense of "Innocence" with "intimacy" that is more cutesy and less graphic than what was in "The Cutest, Little, Chubby Cheeks". The use of "Touch" being the key element to create a loving, caring, and uniquely romantic atmosphere between both Rarity and Spike.
