A distinct lack of pants

"So...how do I..." This wasn't working... I have spent the last fifteen minutes staring at this stupid cup. I lowered my chin to the table and stared at it. I eventually just brought my hand up and tipped it over, "Ugh. Who else do I know...Rarity I guess..." I stood up from the table, "Stupid book...stupid cup...stupid magic..."

I kept on down the path to Rarity's. A loud woosh sounding from above. I looked up seeing a few bits of what looked like cloud floating away. I tried to disregard it and moved on.

The day was quiet, still a few mares running around but I was still giving my trooper a break. Tonight was just going to be a nice night with Rose, nothing too much. I was also gonna try and stop by the school house, figured if anywhere would be able to answer certain questions I had it would be either there or the hospital and I'm not a big fan of hospitals.

Another louder woosh sounded from directly above, nearly knocking my new hat off. I looked up seeing a cloud above. I could feel myself scowl as I hurried my pace. Each step I took was shadowed by that cloud. I kept advancing until I was outright running.

A grown man running from a cloud, so stupid. I stopped and looked up at it. As it stopped a rainbow streak flew out of it before being pulled back inside, "Oh gods damn...I can see you!"

"....no you can't..."

"Wha- I...yes I can!" I started walking off again, "Either come down and talk to me or leave me alone...I don't need a cloud following me..." I got about five feet before the shadow was back over me, "Okay! Come on!" I turned and face the cloud, "I know you're in there, I might not know how you are, but I know!" A set of magenta eyes and a cyan snout shot out of the cloud.

"Hi..."

"Get the hell down..." I said tapping my hoof on the ground. The girl from Rarity's shot down, landing lightly on her hooves, "Now...I can understand why you were following me, but what was up with the cloud?"

"I just wan- wait what? You understand?" She seemed shocked.

"I knew when you left, I've had people crush on me before...just not ones that have hid in clouds."

"Well I-" She quickly turned beat read, "I don't have a crush on you!"

"Then why were you following me?" I asked, crossing my arms, tail flicking to the side.

"I- Okay fine..."

"Say it..."

"What!?"

"Say it or I'm going to start walking."

"I- Bu- ...I have a- ...a crush on you..." She lowered her head.

"Wow...you look so sad about it. Thanks for that."

"No no no I-"

"I'm joking, anyways I have to go somewhere, walk and talk?"

"T-Totally." We started walking on, "So...I uh...never caught your name..."

"Vincent M. Arroyo."

"Oh, what's the M stand for?"

"Maxwell...weird right?"

"A little," Things got quiet as we walked, I could hear her taking a few deep breathes, "So...do you...have a special somepony?"

I stopped, turning to her before walking back, "Now that my dear is complicated. Yes and no, I have one, but see this," I hooked my thumb under my collar, "This is basically a free pass to sex who I want, when I want. So...yes and no."

"Wait so...huh?"

"If you want a relation ship, it's not gonna happen, if you want a roll in the hay, that...that will happen." I stopped, taking a step forward. I pressed my hand across her tight stomach, "Hmm...athletic type..."

She gave a quick gasp as I pulled away, "I-I-uh...can I..." She took a minute step forward, pressing her fingertips into my stomach, "I- you feel like a pegasus..."

"Que?"

"I mean...uh-" She let her fingers trace agaist my muscles. I was by no means ripped but you could see faint outlines, "Most unicrons- corns...unicorns are kinda squishy, earth ponies are rock solid, you...you're..."

"Taut. I think that's the word you're looking for."

She was dipping rather low, but her focus was more on my stomach than inching her way into my pants. I'd taken up the pants but not the shirt. There was no need being covered in a natural coat. "Yeah...uh...so...you and me...we could-"

"First things first." I caught her hand and slowly set it back at her side, "I need a name to put to that pretty face," Her blush only growing as she looked away, "And I'm still resting, the last few days have been...strenuous..."

"I-" She was cradling her cheeks and rocking her head, "Rainbow Dash." This was honestly adorable, and not in a sexual way. Just seeing someone this out of sort, this venerable was insanely adorable.

"By Odin...stop stop stop, seriously stop...if you want to have sex at some point stop..." She perked up and stared at me rather confused, "I just...I can't ruin something that cute...I can't, it's against the law or something."

"But I-"

"That said...maybe next week we I can stuff you back into that cloud and rail you like no one's business." Her wings shot out again, a feather flying off from the force, "Bu-....okay....follow me,"

"Wait what!? Here, like out here!?"

"Just..." I looked around, "There, bench." I hurried to it and sat. Rainbow quickly following and standing infront of me, "...you gonna sit or-" She did in an instant. "Alright then..."

"So when do we- ah- Ahhh~"

I quickly started running my hands through her wings, letting the feathers flow between my wings, "I've never been able to do this before and it looks like fun, not haha fun but mindless simple task fun...like a yo-yo." I started nipping each feather with my fingers, preening was a somewhat foreign term to me, only used by the couriers back in Canterlot but I understood the concept.

"Why are- ahhh~" Her ears flattened out as I plucked a loose feather, letting it fall slowly beside her. "Wait wait...go back..." I went back to the spot, "Can you just give it a little scratch...please?"

I shrugged and ran my fingernail along the budding feather and her wing. Her left wing started flapping wildly, nearly smacking me across the chops each time. "So...I take it that itches...."

"Yooou haaaave nooo ideeeaaa~"

I finished up and moved on, scouring the base of her wing lead nothing. Switching wings immediately knocked a feather free at the base. She was slowly loosing her breath as I scratched the surface of her skin, "This isn't a sex thing right..."

"N-n-n-no, ah~ just feels really good..."

I rolled my eyes as I finished up with her wing, a stiff tug at the largest feather got a quick gasp. "There...now," I quickly stood and dusted myself off, "I still have somewhere to be."

She was a bit dazed before running to meet me, her wings still rigid, "Well I- I should go...winter's soon and...we...have a lot of work to do..." She leaned in and gave me a quick peck on the cheek, "I'll look for you next week!" She took a step back. Nothing happened, "I..."

"Can you not fly? How embarrassing..."

"This...this never happens to me..."

"Sure...well I'm gonna go, see ya round cutie," It looked like she had a chance to relax her wings, it was completely shattered by my offhand comment. I felt a little bad as I hurried down the street, oh well, places to be.

"Doobee doo ba," I walked into the boutique once again, greeted not by Rarity but by her sitting with another stallion, "Uh...hello?"

Rarity shot up from behind the counter, "Oh Vincent! Hello!" She ran over to the counter, "My apologies, I was entertaining another guest,"

"Well..." I met her at the counter, "I kind of need actual help...you got time?"

The stallion walked past me, "It's fine, I have to get back to work any-" I recognized that voice...one of the first I heard in this land.

"Horseshoes..." She stopped and turned at the doorway, "Son of a bitch..."

"Do I- seventeen!?"

I walked over and stuck my hand out to him, "Now theses are truly long odds,"

He met my hand, "Right? Anyways why are you here?"

"Gonna try and get this thing to work," I tapped my horn, "What about you?"

"Eh I come for tea every so often-"

"....I'm gonna need you to stop..." I said starting to suppress my jealousy, "At least until I'm back in Canterlot..."

"What I do-"

"Don't make this difficult...just walk out..." He gave me an incredulous look before standing over me, "Really?" I shot my arm out, slamming into his ribs.

"Uggh-" he crumpled to the floor, "Cheap...shot..."

"Fighting fair's never worked! Now leave..." I turned back to Rarity, "Sorry about that, got time to talk?"

She gave me a slightly frightened look , "I suppose...come along." She lead me over to a small seating area off to the side of the ground floor, "Vincent why did you do that?"

I look a seat across from her, "I...not sure..."

"You're not going to try and mount me are you? This isn't some territorial thing right?" She asked with an annoyed look.

"What!? You!? Sorry no...we're friends, and I have no intention of ruining that...I guess I just...distrust?"

She rolled her eyes and leaned back, "You act like it would be so terrible between us."

"It's not that...it's...I mean the sex would be great, but we're friends, we've been friends, we will continue to be friends, and I'm happy with that just how it is."

"Aw, and you're being genuine?" Her eyes were starting to glisten, "How sweet, come here," She stood and pulled me into a hug, sandwiching my face between her breasts.

I was going to interject but just accepted it, standing up and leveling the hug that my face would meet the side of her head instead, "You helped me climb out of the gutter in the first place, of course I mean it." We stayed there for a long time, just holding each other. Eventually we parted, both of us taking our seats, "Well...anyways I wanted to ask if you could help me learn how to use this thing," Again I tapped my horn.

Rarity wiped a few tears from her eyes, "Oh of course darling, we can practice with some spools." She stood, grabbing my arm and tucking her own under it, "Vincent...you really are quite the gentlecolt."

"Heh...you uh...you haven't seen me in bed."

"And I never will."

There was a short pause before a shared laugh, "I really did miss you...I kept up with Rose but you, it's good to see you again."

"Of course dear,"

"So I just..." I focused hard on the tiny spools that lined the windowsill.

"It's not about willing it to be, it's about focus." Rarity said from her seat atop the sill, "Hmm..." I managed to tip one of the spools over, "That...even for a foal that is simple...lean in,"

"I just can't I do-" I was cut off by her slicked thumb rubbing across my horn, "Wha~ Whoa~"

"Oh calm down...sometimes you just need to focus a charge for a moment, like a battery." She let go and righted the spool. "Try again."

I took a long hard stare at the spool, I was angry, angry I couldn't get it before, angry I couldn't lift such a small object- "Vincent uh..." Angry at the spool- "Vincent you're..." Angry at myself- "Vincent!" I felt a surge from my horn, a bright silver flash sent the spool flying forward, breaking through her window and causing a burst of birds from a nearby tree, "Well...."

My head gave a quick buzz, "Did I- oh shit..." I had put a decent sized hole in her window, "...I'll...I can pay for that..."

Rarity was focused on the window, "That...wow, have you ever been to the library yet? If not you really should...that was...that was your first time right?"

"With magic, yes. I'm really sorry about the window," I stood up and walked over to the window, "Man I really screwed that up-"

"Excuse me Vincent...can you put me down?"

"What I-" I looked behind me, Rarity was floating sideways in a sitting pose, a bright silver enveloping her, "I...how do I-"

"Just think it..."

I mentally rotated her right and slowly set her down a few feet away from the window, "I'm not even sure how I did that..."

"You started walking to the window, I was apparently in your way so you moved me...asking would have been less intrusive mind you but that was interesting none the less." She took a seat and crossed her legs, "To think...all you needed was the touch of a mare~" She cooed, placing her fingertips on her sternum, "Magic is much like a colt, it must be coerced not forced, and mares can bring out the very best."

I practiced levitating the spools, it was simply about thinking about where you wanted them to go, and letting the magic trace the path. "Ms. Rarity I do believe you're trying to seduce me." I started throwing them left and right, catching them and tossing them back each time, "This...this is fun!"

"Indeed, as are these," She wiggled her fingers in front of me.

"Uh, you do reali-"

"I am well aware..."

"...I always had you pegged as a prude, I am happily disappointed." I tossed her a spool, she caught it and set it aside, "Well, I'll come back tomorrow, I'll pass by the bank and drop off some bits for the window...seriously sorry about that."

She waved me off, "No one was hurt and you promised to make amends. Now I do have work to do, it has been a pleasure," She walked over and took my arm again, "I'll see you out-"

"Eh eh eh~ nope," I picked her up once more and levitated her beside me, my head was starting to buzz lightly, "So...hua~ oh," I shook my head, "I'm gonna set you down now..." We reached the bottom of the stairs when I set her down. "Swimmy...."

"Indeed, if you drain your magic, sugar tends to help. Also, the shirtless collared look...rather provocative."

"Noted...quick bye hug?"

She rolled her eyes and gave me a quick hug, "Now I really must get back to work."

"Later- hey wait...I was gonna head to the school house, do you want me to see if Sweetie want a walk home?"

Rarity stopped and turned to me, "Why are you going to the school?"

"...questions...about stuff..."

"You're not planning any lewd acts with Cheerilee are you?" She added with a wry smile.

"...well I am now...anyways if I see her I'll tell her to hurry home, bye!"

"Green river...da na na na da na na- nana-" Whoa- A rush of children, only a few clothed rushed past me. I noticed a set of familiar curls dart past, too fast for me to say anything but I could say I tried.

I hurried to the school house, pressing in I was greeted by the teacher with her head on her desk. She looked up as I walked in, "Oh...how can I help you..."

I slowly walked over, "I was hoping that you...are you alright?"

"Not really...half my class can't stop themselves from staring at me..."

"Uh...they are...rather...anyways! I have questions about mating." She cocked an eyebrow, "As in...pony anatomy..."

"I think you should leave..."

"No! I'm not making jokes...I'm serious...ex human, no idea about pony anatomy...and...I've been doing some...some things that might...just...can you tell me how pony pregnancy works?"

She gave an exasperated sigh, "Take a seat..."

"...so generally conception takes place is a few months, the first second month of winter has become the usual. It used to be during the summer but over the centuries we have leaned more towards the winter months, the time most ponies spend the most time together. Conception has been known to happen outside of heat but is usually uncommon. Granted I have no idea how these new bodies would treat it, but if what you said is true, then I suggest you don't take chances...or do...given the lack of males your...parentage, would be viewed as a good thing..." She tapped her chalk on her desk, "Was there anything else you needed to know?"

"...I...that was more in depth than I was expecting..."

"You asked so I answered...are you really worried?"

I stood up from the tiny desk and walked over to her, "A little...I...I think it might be in the realm of possibility that I flooded a fertile mare...and...if this ends up working like humans I could be in some serious shite."

"Charming...so noth-" She started sniffing the air, "Wait...have we met before." She stood up from her chair and started leaning over to me, "I remember you..." She grabbed my arm and sniffed my wrist, "You...I don't...what was your name..."

"Uh...I should probably g-"

"Did I say you could leave?" She pulled me around her desk and pushed me against the chalk board, "How do I know you..." She pressed her muzzle into my chest, "...I remember...I...oh...I remember now...a few months ago..."

"Yeah..." I scratched the back of my head, "Listen I have to go-"

She slammed me into the board again, "You smell like sex...you're not leaving yet..."

"God dammit..."

She started reaching down towards my belt, "You came for a lesson...let's get hands on..."

I quickly grabbed her by the shoulder and forced her back, "Not...not right now." She stared up angrily at me, "Maybe tomorrow..."

She let go of my belt and forced me back, "Tomorrow...you owe me..." She gave a final lean into my chest and took a long breath, "Celestia...maybe we should show my student how foals are made after all..."

"Gods dammit...do I smell that strong!?"

"Like a bedroom in mating season...tomorrow...or I will find you." I started to creep out, "Private lessons are always fun..."

I bolted outside, not eager to have a repeat of our first meeting.

I walked into the flower shop, Octavia and Rose sitting at the counter with a pot, "Vince, Hello!" Rose shouted running over. She quickly wrapped herself around my neck and closed for a quick kiss, "How was your day?"

"Well..." I started levitating a pot of a nearby shelf, "I learned how to do this..." I overturned the pot and set it on my head, "So this is pretty cool."

She gave me a warm smile before burying herself in my chest.

I let my hands tighten around her, "I also...I'm going to be gone tomorrow...a mare...the school teacher..."

She looked up for a second, "Cheerilee? She tastes like red wine just to let you know..."

My gaze shot up past her, "Good, to, know."

"Ach- OW! Rose, help!" Octavia called from the counter.

Rose nuzzled my chest before hurrying off, "I've been teaching her how to tend roses...she's getting there."

I walked over to the counter, small red stain now sitting on it. I looked up to see Octavia covered in pink bandages, "Stupid thorns..."

"Roses then?" I asked taking a seat on the stairs behind the counter, "I'd love to join in but I need some food, I'll meet you in the bedroom."

"Alright Vince, Octavia will be joining us tonight."

"In bed? What ever...damn haggard, I'll see ya later." I hurried up the stairs.

"Vince?" The door creeked open, "There you are..." Rose quickly walked over standing beside me in the bed, "What is that?"

I looked up to her, "Uh...basic spells and magical functions, I'm reading about pyromancy...figures it would be illegal..."

She tore off her sweater and tossed it aside, crawling into bed and curling up next to me, "So I figured..."

I closed my book and set it aside, "Fine...assume the position."

She quickly turned around as I got on my knees behind her, "Just a nice night right?"

I quickly found my member ready, wasting no time in guiding it to her and starting to sink it in, "R-ah-right..." I began slowly pumping her, wasting no time in this soft act.

Her breath wasn't ragged, more paced and soft. Not the usual romp, more a soft and caring joining. I let my hands grab her hips as she whimpered softly. The air cold and clear, providing a nice contrast to my lower body. The warmth was there, the pressure was there, but it was different. Less debauched and more willing to give than to take. A smoother glide in and out with her walls easily accepting me without the outright spasms.

My breathing was soft, as was hers, no where near as heavy as the night tow days ago. I picked up my pace, still not jamming her but giving it some speed. I hilted each time with a soft smack against her hips. The pleasant feeling of being needed without being used. This was even ground, Rose and I in equal say over what was happening. I let my hands move up to her side as I lifted her torso up, her back meeting my chest. I managed to crane my head down and wrap her up in a soft kiss, before reaching my moment and planting myself deep inside of her.

Her usual breathy moans no reduced to mere whimpers as her muscles pulled lightly at me, content to ease out my seed instead of milking me.

Spent I gave her womb a final poke before pulling out. Whatever was inside of her stayed for the time. Her body refusing to release it as she crawled up next to me. I felt the heat of her sex as she curled her body under mine, "Octavia...you can come in..." She called weakly.

The mare in question pushed inside and walked towards Rose's side of the bed, slowly crawling under the covers and acting as a third spoon. Rose fit snugly between as she nuzzled her rump into my groin and her head into Octavia's mane.

"Octavia...you not gonna say anything?" I asked as I felt her pull my arm over to the side of her chest.

"Vincent I just want to be here for tonight...let's not make a big deal out of it please..." She scooted back towards me, my tiny Rose now pressed between us.

"Good night...both of you..." Rose said before closing her eyes and wrapping her arms around Octavia. I let my free hand move under her, wrapping its self around her lower stomach. Part of me was now beginning to like the thought of having a foal...granted if it did happen, Rose wouldn't be the only expecting mother. Ah well...we will see I suppose.
