Supper at Rarity's

After having their afternoon tea Fluttershy and Rarity headed towards the Carousel Boutique. Fluttershy couldn't help but walk a bit behind Rarity, not because she felt like she had to, it was because she wanted to. She was mesmerized by Rarity's flank swaying back and forth as she walked. It was all she could do to not just take her wings and grope her friend's cutie marks with them. Rarity did not really care for Fluttershy following her, like she was being forced to. She said, "Fluttershy, come up and walk beside me! You don't have to walk behind me."

At first Fluttershy didn't hear her, she just kept on staring at Rarity's behind swaying back and forth, fantasizing about everything her and Rarity could do together when finally Rarity yelled, "Fluttershy darling, you don't have to walk behind me!" She calmed down a bit and continued, "Come up and walk beside me, it makes me feel like you don't want to talk to me when you walk behind me like that."

Fluttershy replied, "Um ok, I'm sorry Rarity."

Rarity asked, "Why were you walking behind me anyway?"

This suddenly became one of those situations that Fluttershy really wished that she wished that she wasn't in. She knew that she just couldn't come out and tell Rarity that she was mesmerized by her swaying flank. She trotted up to where she was side by side with Rarity and replied, "Oh I'm sorry, I was just distracted by something."

Rarity could tell that she was distracted by something but she had no clue that it was her rump that was distracting her. After a few minutes they finally arrive at the boutique when Rarity suddenly realized something. She remembered that she had a couple more outfits she had to finish before she can just relax for the weekend. She said, "Fluttershy, I have a couple more outfits that I need to get finished and then I can fix us supper."

This caused Fluttershy's heart to sink. She replied, "O-oh I'm sorry Rarity. I didn't know you still had things to do. Maybe we can have supper together some other time."

Fluttershy headed towards the door with her head hung low when Rarity rushed after her. "Fluttershy darling, wait! It will only take me a little while and you can keep me company while I am working on them."

This brought a smile to Fluttershy's face. "Thank you Rarity, I'm glad you want me to stay."

Rarity put her hoof around Fluttershy and replied, "Fluttershy darling, you know I could never run you off unless I was horrendously behind."

Fluttershy felt a warmth surge through her as Rarity had her hoof around her. While to some ponies it would not affect them any, for Fluttershy it really turned her on. She followed Rarity to her inspiration room and watched her get to work. While Rarity worked on the outfits, they continued to discuss random, ordinary things. One thing that Fluttershy would not mention though was the thunderstorm that she knew would hit that night.

Finally a couple hours later Rarity was finished with all her work. She smiled and said, "Well that ought to do it. Now we can fix some supper and sit down to a nice meal."

Fluttershy knows how Rarity can be when it comes to fixing supper, that she likes for her guests to sit in the living room and wait for her to bring the meal to them and she did not want to be alone in there, she wanted as much time around Rarity as possible. She asked, "Rarity, if it is ok with you, could I help you fix supper?"

Rarity replied, "Fluttershy, you are my guest. You shouldn't have to help me fix supper. It just wouldn't feel right."

Fluttershy begged, "Please Rarity, or at least let me stay with you in the kitchen and keep you company."

Rarity was wondering why Fluttershy was wanting to stay closer to her but she did not say anything. She replied, "Alright Fluttershy, you may join me in the kitchen."

Fluttershy followed her into the kitchen and watched her as she began to get things out of the cupboards and while she was hoping to remain focused and not give herself away, she again found herself watching Rarity's flank. Rarity broke her from her gaze when she asked, "Fluttershy, so what do you want for supper?"

Fluttershy replied, "Well I would like a daffodil and daisy sandwich, that sounds really good to me."

Rarity said, "That is what I was thinking about having as well." She smiled at her and continued, "At least I won't have to fix different things for each of us."

After she finished fixing their sandwiches she got them each a glass of cider and they sat down for supper. Fluttershy was eating her meal and asked, "Wow Rarity, this tastes so good. When did you get these flowers?"

Rarity replied, "I just bought them today. I wanted my supper to be fresh."

Once they finished their supper they headed into the living room and sat down on the couch where they continued do discuss things such as Rarity's future orders, other happenings with their friends and what the Cutie Mark Crusaders were going to do that weekend to try and earn their cutie marks.

Fluttershy laughed, "I know those girls are doing all sorts of things to try and earn their cutie marks but like Twilight is always telling them, I think they are doing it the wrong way."

Rarity replied, "I agree. While I think it is cute I get frustrated at the same time. I remember when she......"

Lightning struck a nearby tree causing Fluttershy to shriek. She was so startled that she flew up and crashed into the ceiling and fell back down. Rarity rushed to her and asked, "Fluttershy, are you ok?"

Fluttershy replied, "Yeah, I'm ok. That lightning just startled me."

Very quickly it began to rain and rain hard. Fluttershy said, "I hope this rain doesn't last too long because I don't want to get soaked walking home."

Rarity replied, "Don't worry about it, if it is still raining later on you can just spend the night with me."

Fluttershy hugged Rarity and asked, "Really?"

Rarity replied, "Of course! I'd never expect a friend to walk home in this."

A couple hours pass and it is still raining hard, the lightning is still flashing, the thunder is loud and the winds were blowing stronger than they had in years. Fluttershy yawned as she was getting a bit tired. Rarity said, "Fluttershy, I don't want you to be walking home in this. How about you just spend the night with me."

Fluttershy replied, "Thank you Rarity, you are such a good friend."

Fluttershy was thrilled by this. The first part of what she had hoped that would bring her and Rarity closer had come to pass. Now she just hoped that she could get Rarity to let her sleep in her bed but she knew that she just couldn't come out and ask her. All she could do is hope that the nasty weather would make Rarity want somepony to hold close and snuggle with.
