First Love

It took Rarity and Fluttershy a little over an hour to get back to Ponyville. Both of them wanted to get washed up as their coats, manes and tails were dirty and had lost their normal, elegant look. It was mid-afternoon and Rarity knew that Sweetie Belle would be getting home any moment and she certainly didn't want her to see her in that state. As they approached Fluttershy's cottage Rarity asked, "Fluttershy darling, do you think I could get washed up in your cottage?"

Fluttershy grabbed her flank and replied, "Sure, as long as I can be the one to wash you!"

Rarity knew what Fluttershy wanted. She replied, "Of course we can shower together dear! That would be so romantic!"

The two headed into her cottage and went straight up to the bathroom. Fluttershy got the water running and let it run until it reached the ideal temperature, well for her anyway. She then realized that she shouldn't be so selfish. She asked, "Rarity, do you like your water just warm or do you like it hotter?"

Rarity replied, "Well I like it hotter so if you could be a dear and have it hotter that would be wonderful."

Fluttershy was no fan of hot water but decided to turn the hot water up higher to make her new marefriend happy. Once she got it hotter she said, "Rarity, put your hoof in there and see if it is right for you."

Rarity got in the shower and it was the perfect temperature. She kissed Fluttershy and replied, "Come on in darling, it is absolutely magnificent."

Fluttershy stepped into the shower and while it was hotter than she liked, it was still comfortable given that Rarity was in there with her. First they washed all the dirt and other muck out of their manes and tails, which was rather uneventful. It was the washing one another's coats that the two mares looked forward to.

Fluttershy decided she would start first. She took the soap with her wings and began to rub it in Rarity's coat, making a nice lather all over her. Rarity began to giggle and squirm as she is very ticklish. She giggled, "Fluttershy, stop it! I'm ticklish!"

Fluttershy swatted her flank and replied, "How am I supposed to get all this dirt off of you? Unless you want this muck staying on you, you'll let me do this!"

Rarity sighed, "Oh ok! Whatever you say."

Fluttershy continued to get a good lather on her until she had her covered. Rarity stepped into the flowing water to wash it off. Before Rarity could start to wash Fluttershy, the yellow pegasus took her wing and began to rub Rarity's marehood. Rarity said, "Stop it Fluttershy! That can wait until we're done!"

Fluttershy sighed, "Oh ok, you're no fun!"

Fluttershy is not nearly as ticklish as Rarity so washing her was much easier and it did not take nearly as long. After they had both finished washing one another they did not turn the water off. They stood there in an embrace kissing passionately as the water continued to beat down on them. It was a moment that they wished would never end but before they knew it Fluttershy began to run out of hot water. As soon as it got cold both of them shrieked. Fluttershy turned the water off and they jumped out of the shower shivering cold.

Rarity said, "I don't know about you, but I'm freezing!"

Fluttershy gave her a smile and replied, "Oh I think I know how to fix that!"

Fluttershy took charge and dragged Rarity by the tail to her bed. She pulled up the covers and ordered Rarity to get in. Rarity got in bed and as soon as she was in, Fluttershy crawled in with her and began to rub herself up against the white unicorn. It was still light and the curtains were open which caused Rarity a bit of concern. She asked, "Fluttershy darling, are you sure we should be doing this with the curtains open and the light on?"

Fluttershy forced herself on top of Rarity and replied, "Oh it's ok Rarity! Nopony can see us and this is so much fun with plenty of light!"

The two provided one another with plenty of body heat and were soon hot. Fluttershy kicked the covers off but remained wrapped around Rarity. She looked into her deep blue eyes and said, "Rarity, I have never been happier in my life. You are every mare's dream come true."

Rarity pulled Fluttershy closer and replied, "I know darling, you are every mare's dream come true too."

Fluttershy asked, "So where do we go from here? Do we move in together, spend a lot more time together or what?"

Rarity replied, "I'm not sure but I do think it is a bit early to be moving in with one another. We need more time to grow as a couple and simply moving in together may not be a good idea."

Fluttershy said, "I agree Rarity. We don't want to move too fast. Our time to live together and ultimately get married will come. For now let's just go at a pace that is comfortable for us."

Rarity agreed with Fluttershy but she was already looking forward. She knew that they loved one another but when that time came to get married and live together, that there would have to be compromises. She did not want to have to live among so many animals and she did not want Sweetie Belle to have to go back to living with their parents, especially because that would take her away from her friends.

Fluttershy too was thinking about this. She loved her animals dearly but she also loved Rarity dearly. She began to wonder if her animals would be ok living there without her as long as she fed them on a daily basis or perhaps the girls could take care of them and maybe earn their cutie marks. As she pulled herself closer to Rarity, she realized that her love for Rarity was infinite and that any sacrifice she would make when the time arrived would be worth it.
