Mint on a Leash

Ponyville's skies swirl with an ocean of evaporated water. Ponies below the dark, water-weighted clouds scamper like ants to try and flee the impending downpour.

The first drop lands on a somepony's head, who looks up and trots to a nearby shop awning. The second drop lands, then the third and fourth. Then dozens of drops splatter the ground below like paint thrown at a wall. After seconds of idle banter between the sky and earth, the sky's underbelly unlatches, dropping massive payloads of icy water onto the muddy, damp Ponyville beneath it, drenching it in some much needed moisture.

Winter is normally a dry month for Equestria, par for snow, which usually doesn't count because of its solidity. The rain revitalizes the many house-plants left outside, dry and cracked, their roots parched of any water for the past few days, due to the rainstorm today.

The last rays of sun have finally been squeezed to tiny, indescribably thin strands of warmth by the puffy, uncaring clouds that shed layers of water built up over the weeks by Cloudsdale, which had been working on this project for even longer than that. Not seen by anypony below, weather pegasi above the atmospheric lining of clouds constantly pound away at the tops of the layer, each ground-pound spurting out another bucket of chilled water like the remnants at the bottom of a ketchup bottle.

The whole scene is viewed by Patient Care, who stands behind the window of his apartment, breathing hot, slow breaths onto the cold glass before his face. The reflection on the glass shows a light yellow unicorn, looking up at the stratus layer with dark blue eyes. Within the confines of the bedroom, he sighs, making his mark on the glass even wider as he scratches the back of his head underneath his dark green mane.

He turns around and exits his dim, cool bedroom and into the hallway, where a blue unicorn stands, giving her boyfriend an inquisitive look.

"You alright, hon?" She flicks her blue and white halved mane away from her face, smirking at Patient Care, who nods.

"You know what we're gonna do for dinner?" He asks, looking at the clock on the wall behind his girlfriend.

"It's only four o'clock." Colgate reasons with Patient as he and she walk towards the living room.

"You know I like to plan ahead, babe..." He trails off and plops down on the couch, looking down at the stains and magazines that litter the coffee table.

The living room lay semi clean with paintings scattering the walls, books along bookshelves, and out of place coasters littering those shelves. A rain stained window continually drips water down towards its edge, only to have the water disappear before the viewer, like a snake at the reptile house in a zoo. A white tulip sits at the sill for that window, trying to bathing in cold sunlight hidden behind the pale, dark clouds. Colgate plops her plot down onto the couch next to Patient and leans into him.

Patient pays her some mind, pecking the top of her head gently. She releases a one syllable giggle and smiles as Patient grabs a take-out menu from the coffee table.

"You wanna try to go Saddle Arabian tonight?" He quietly asks, scooting closer to his girlfriend and slightly leaning his head on top of of hers, warming up on this frosty afternoon.

"Sure...honey?" Colgate closes her eyes and breathes.

"Yeah?" Patient looks towards her and rubs his cheek on her forehead.

"Can I ask you something?" She opens her blue eyes, gazing at her lover in the florescent light given off by the ceiling fan above.

"Mhm." Patient puts down the menu and turns his body towards his girlfriend's who sits up and makes eye contact.

A short pause interrupts the quiet discussion, quiet par for the pitter-patter of rain on the windows.

"Do you think we can take our relationship to a new base?" Colgate finally asks as her cheeks begin to flush.

"Of course." Patient smiles, happy that he isn't the only one to be thinking that.

"I mean we've been together for, like three months? You think we should...celebrate our new base?" Colgate bites her lower lip, gazing up at her boyfriend with wanting eyes.

Her cheeks are now a bit more flushed, giving her lustful eyes some more contrast to her coat. Patient, internally rejoicing with stomach butterflies, tries to keep it cool. They both lean into each other, very slowly, and kiss. Their soft, warm lips covering the display of love entangled within their mouths. Patient can feel his tongue being wrestled to the side by Colgate, who feels determined to find her way inside her lover's mouth. In response, Patient fights back with his tongue, sliding it over Colgate's, pushing her down and using her saliva as his own lubrication as he pushes his tongue down deeper into her mouth, tasting his girlfriend.

They break the kiss, both blushing and smirking. Colgate leans into Patient's chest, nuzzling her head in between his forelegs as they both lay down on the couch.

"I love you." She whispers, planting a small kiss on his chest.

"I love you too. Hey, you wanna try something...you know, now that we're at that part of our relationship?" Patient asks, hopeful of his lover's positive response.

"Oh? What's that?" Colgate asks as she pushes herself upward to where her and Patient's head are at equal distance apart.

"I dunno...maybe we could try to...fuck?" Patient throws out casually, hoping not to seem to rushy.

Colgate's eyes widen as a face of joy stitches itself onto her visage.

"Oh my god, yes!" Colgate wraps her forelegs around Patient and wiggles her hour-glass plot in the air, letting her tail shake around.

"Also...um..." Patient stammers.

"Um, what?" Colgate places her mouth over Patient's and gives a slow, passionate kiss.

They break the kiss four seconds later.

"For our first time...you wanna try some, oh, I dunno...kink?" Patient asks, more nervous than when he asked to fuck.

Colgate's smile widens as her eyes focus on her boyfriend's nervous expression.

"What kind?" She devilishly asks, licking her lips.

Colgate can feel Patient's erect stallionhood pressing up against her belly. In response, she moves her plot forwards so her butt cheeks surround her lover's penis on both sides. Colgate then begins to slowly move her lower half up and down, gently massaging the top of Patient's penis with her marehood, which drips in excitement onto Patient's tail.

"M-maybe we...uh...I tie you up...and make a fuck-puppet out of y-you?" Those words don't come naturally to Patient, but that's the best way he can describe his feelings without breaking the mood.

"That's what I was thinking about, too." Colgate's eyes switch to an excited gaze as happiness engulfs her.

She drops her plot above Patient's hard-on, which throbs against his girlfriend's hot, soaking virginity.

"So...when do you wanna start?" He asks with a hopeful tone.

"Right now, hon..." She places one more long, loving kiss on his lips.
