Twinkling Gem

A breeze gently sifted through the trees above Rarity, who shivered at the cold sensation moving around her body. She looked down to her body and smiled at the small coat she had; even with the cold wind, she felt warm. It was a rather stylish design, with dark gray pockets at the side of her chest with two separate lines of six buttons each near the middle. It was a simple coat of choice, but Rarity was glad for choosing something like this.

But as Rarity sat on one of the platformed courtyards close to the palace of Canterlot, she breathed in the cold air. With a glance over her right shoulder, she looked back to the right walkway that led up here, one of the stairways she thought Twilight would walk up to. ‘Our third date together… I can’t believe it’s already the third date. And within the first week of our second one as well.’ As Rarity returned her gaze to the gorgeous view presented to her, she thought of the day of the week, Saturday if she was correct, and knew it was at least two days from the last date. Although it was rather quick for another one, she was simply glad she and Twilight could have so much time together.

“Really… that should be more of a blessing than a curse. And being able to be with Twilight so often has helped… especially with how awful it was at the beginning.” Rarity could still feel some inkling of that horrible aching in her heart. It was definitely a pain she should have learned to let go, but now with the thought of others who were against her, namely two nobles she was not going to name at the moment, she thought that if they were to stand against this kind of judgmental view.

‘Speaking of judgmental… or in this case what wasn’t the fact this time.’ Rarity had gathered up everypony earlier this morning as she looked back to their get together at the Sugarcube Corner. There she had revealed to them all about the fact that Twilight had accidentally discharged a dark magic spell. The reactions from a few of her friends, Applejack in particular, were exactly as she predicted.

Once they had all calmed down, she than revealed that she and Twilight were an item, albeit with a little hesitation from herself. She expected everypony to be silent for the first few moments, but was surprised when Rainbow Dash jumped to her side, followed by Pinkie Pie, happy enough to celebrate a party for them tomorrow; Fluttershy, who was happy with that the two were together; and finally Applejack, who slowly agreed with their decision.

Her ears perked up at the sound of hoofsteps behind her. A bright smile lit up her muzzle when she saw Twilight standing there. “Good evening, Twilight,” Rarity said before she fully turned around, standing up on all fours. ‘My oh my.’ “Wow… you look quite stunning, Twilight.”It was a dark turquoise puffer coat with no hoodie. It was simple, but it matched Twilight so easily.

“Hey there, Rarity.” Twilight wrapped her forelegs around Rarity’s shoulders before she leaned in and kissed her. They pulled away moments after before Rarity guided her to spot she had before. “It really looks beautiful… this view, don’t you think?”

“Why of course, darling. This time of year in Canterlot always has such a humble yet beauteous glow to it.” Rarity could only giggle until she said, “But of course, that beauty falls short compared to the mare that is sitting right next to me.”

“Stop that, Rarity. I’m not that amazing…” Twilight murmured, her cheeks flushed with a pale pink glow.

“Oh don’t be so modest, Twilight. You are quite a sight. Sometimes even I get a little jealous of your au natural looks.” Rarity teased Twilight, giggling when her marefriend shied away. She slowed her laughing and wrapped a hoof around Twilight’s shoulders, and glanced down to her left shoulder when she felt Twilight rest her head against her.

As she stared down at Twilight, she watched her marefriend meet her gaze. She shuddered slightly at a warmth that invaded her chest. Rarity smiled softly before she lowered her muzzle and met Twilight’s own, the two gently kissed. Rarity pulled away moments later with her gentle smile still there, but a bright pink flush against her muzzle. Twilight held the same expression, but her muzzle had brightened up a little with her own pale pink blush.

“Well. Seems you were right, dear.” Rarity turned her gaze to the voice, only to frown at the sight of Jet Set and Upper Crust. And with the two fancy winter coats they were wearing, she could guess that they were on some evening stroll together.

“Of course I was right. After all, it’s not hard to follow the stink of ponies who use dark magic.” Upper Crust lowered her eyes at the two mares in front of her. “So what brings you two here to this lovely part of Canterlot? On one of your ‘dates’, or those get-togethers you and the rest of your kind so love to do?”

“As a matter of fact, it isn’t any of your business, Upper Crust. My marefriend and I are spending the quality time together that we deserve.” Rarity stood up and took a step forward. “Unfortunately, that time is being wasted upon answering your pointless and ignorant questions.”

“Ignorant questions?” Jet Set chuckled at Rarity. “How can you call my Upper Crust ignorant, when you’re spending your time with that disgrace of a unicorn who practiced dark magic?”

Rarity took a step back at the insult upon her marefriend. Were these two so blatantly uncaring that they would attack the mare she loved? “It certainly seems that these two were meant for one another. A fashionista who’s too blind to recognize the filth underneath her hooves, and another unicorn that thinks dark magic is just a plaything for her abilities.” Upper Crust laughed after she spoke.

“Hey! You’re lucky I didn’t blast you back at the party, Upper Crust. In fact, now that I think about it, maybe I should have just given you a little reminder of the magic that you threatened to cut my horn off for!” Twilight glared at Upper Crust, whose eyes widened in shock.

“You should count yourself lucky, you two.” Upper Crust returned the glare after she recovered from Twilight’s own expression. “You don’t deserve to be together. Not after what happened at the Spring Garden Party. But Fancy Pants isn’t here to protect you both now.”

Rarity’s eyes slightly widened when she saw a hint of frustration in Upper Crust’s eyes after she spoke of the stallion. ‘So that’s the reason she is so angry? Just because Fancy Pants admires me more than her? Quite a foalish ideal to be upset over.’ She then retook that step forward. “So that’s what this is about. All because we’ve had the support of Fancy Pants all this time? That’s completely and utter idiocy.”

“How dare you call my wife an id--”

“Zip it!” Rarity yelled as she took a couple more steps forward. She watched as Upper Crust slowly began to back up, and she relished the fact that this noble was beginning to back down. “You honestly think that I need Fancy Pants to hide behind like some knight in shining armor protecting a mare in distress?” In fact, Rarity could only chuckle at how ridiculous that sentiment was. “I am not some mare who needs the protection from another stallion. In fact, I’d say that if I wasn’t so focused on keeping myself restrained rather than giving you the verbal discipline I’m doing at this very moment, I could imagine that it would be you two who would need the protection rather than I!”

After she yelled, she watched as Upper Crust backed up to Jet Set, who were both shaking from what Rarity had said. She glared at the two for a moment longer until with one final grunt, she said, “Now. If you wouldn’t mind, I think my marefriend and I shall take our quality time somewhere safe from ignorant and judgemental eyes.” Rarity turned to Twilight and nodded before she proceeded forward down the stairway. She heard Twilight’s hoofsteps next to her own, but she couldn’t smile. The fact that those two would purposely try and ruin their date could propel her to lengths far beyond regular fuming. If she hadn’t taken proper control over her emotions, she thought for certain she would have exploded on the two.

“Rarity.” She glanced over to Twilight who stared at her with a fearful glimmer in her eyes. “Are you going to be alright?”

Rarity could only sigh before she spoke. “Do not worry, Twilight. I’ll be fine. I just need to have a moment to breathe and gather my thoughts.” It was bad enough that she already had to worry about those two trying to destroy her reputation in Canterlot. But if they tried to hinder her relationship with Twilight, both of them would be in some very deep trouble.

She stopped walking at the sensation of Twilight wrapping her forelegs around her shoulders until Rarity heard her say, “Thank you… for what you said. And for showing those two jerks up.”

After what Twilight said, Rarity could only chuckle. “Oh, Twilight. It was my pleasure. That, and I would never allow somepony to speak ill of the mare I love.” Twilight laughed, and Rarity wrapped her right foreleg around Twilight’s shoulders and continued walking down the path. But Rarity’s smile disappeared when she thought about this date and felt disappointed that, like their first date, it had failed. With a quiet sigh, she frowned and kept walking down the path, silently hoping for a better evening for their date.

~~~

The click of a door echoed inside of Rarity’s boutique, and the front entrance opened up with the quiet breeze of the winter wind outside as Rarity and Twilight stepped into the building. Once Twilight passed through, Rarity closed the door behind them and relocked it. After the door clicked, an indication that it was shut tight, she softly sighed at the fact of what happened to her marefriend’s humble abode in Canterlot.

After Twilight’d had her discharging accident with dark magic, her home was left in shambles. If she had heard right, the upper floor had taken the most damage. Some of the walls had been weakened, and the large glass window had also shattered from the blast of the explosion.

But she smiled at the fact that Twilight was able to live through it. “Rarity…” She turned at the mention of her name and saw Twilight standing next to the stairway to the second floor. “Can… I talk to you about a few things?” And from the gaze Rarity saw in Twilight’s eyes, she knew this was about something personal.

“Oh, uh, sure.” Rarity set their coats to the side and ushered Twilight upstairs “And just to let you know, Sweetie Belle was scheduled for a sleepover with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, so the whole place is to ourselves.”

Twilight nodded before she began. “Listen… I want to thank you… for everything. Even though I’ve already done that before, I just feel that every problem we’re facing right now… that’s all because of me.”

Rarity raised an eyebrow before she asked, “And what makes you so certain that you should take the blame for everything? You do understand that I was the one who rushed this relationship, and look where that got us. Our friendship almost ended because of me.”

“But you weren’t the one who broke a heart.” Twilight’s eyes misted up as she continued, “I broke your heart… I furthered the divide between us. I almost got us separated because I wanted to learn more about dark magic.”

With how distraught Twilight was looking, Rarity moved closer and rested her right hoof against Twilight’s left one. “Then just forget about it. I know you’ve been able to move from these thoughts, but from the looks of it, you’ve only made it halfway.” She smiled and murmured, “Just let it go, Twilight. I understand that’s easier said than done, but you’ll feel so much better if you do.”

“But… I can’t. I’m so scared that I’m going to cause the same mistake again. What if I do? What if something happens that’s much worse than what I did before? I just don’t want to lose you, Rarity.” Twilight weakly frowned, rubbing her eyes with her right hoof. “I just don’t know what to think about to get rid of these thoughts…”

Rarity continued to stare at Twilight and tried to determine which idea would work. And then one came to mind, although with how much of a long shot it was, and how embarrassing of an idea, she slightly blushed at the very thought of performing such an act with Twilight. But she breathed in before moving closer to her and leaning in, kissing Twilight gently. Rarity held that lock with her marefriend for what felt like minutes before she separated from Twilight. “Enough… these thoughts are simply poisonous, darling.”

Twilight looked away while her frown deepened. But Rarity cupped her left cheek with a gentle hoof as she brought her gaze back to her own. “I know it’s such a hard thing to forget… but let’s forgo these thoughts. Please…” Rarity closed her eyes when she felt Twilight bring back the contact between their lips, which produced a quiet moan. She flushed, embarrassed.

The same warmth she felt invade her chest rose up again, and when the sensation came along she turned Twilight towards her bed and slowly while gently lowered her onto the mattress. It shook quietly, but that didn’t disturb the two, who pulled away from each other moments afterwards.

Twilight gazed into her eyes. “Rarity… I--”

“You’re nervous… correct?” Rarity received a shaky nod from the mare she loved. “Don’t fret, darling. I mean… this is the first time I’ve ever been this intimate with another pony before, and I can only guess it’s the same for you. But don’t worry. We’ll go slow. I promise.” Rarity then brought her lips to Twilight’s once more and extended her tongue to her marefriend’s lips.

Slowly, Twilight granted entry until a soft moan followed from her once Rarity’s tongue met Twilight’s own and twirled together in a gentle dance. Rarity pulled away as both her own and Twilight’s soft breathing filled her room. She winced as that familiar heat had traveled downwards, and it only worsened at the similar warmth she could feel coming from Twilight’s own arousal. She shivered as a sudden primal urge filled her thoughts--a feeling she felt when she had pleasured herself days ago. ‘H-hold that thought, Rarity. You promised Twilight we would go slow… and we shall.’

With that urge corralled for now, Rarity kissed Twilight on the lips once more before she slowly traced down her marefriend’s body from her neck, earning shivers that Rarity felt across her own body as Twilight continued moaning in that soft tone. She slowly travelled down from her neck, and with each kiss, a small tuft of fur rose upwards from Twilight’s body. As Rarity continued downward, she changed to using her tongue, moving further down as she passed over the lavender colored stomach. She raised her head up and noticed Twilight’s small breasts, and the blush on her muzzle brightened.

Slowly she looked up and saw Twilight’s blush as well, who slowly nodded at what Rarity desired first. She returned her gaze to the two small mounds and smiled before leaned in and kissed the right nipple first. Twilight gasped as Rarity leisurely twirled her tongue around it. She circled her tongue up it and gave it a gentle flick, a movement that gained another moan from Twilight before she wrapped her lips around the nipple.

With gentle movements, she slowly suckled on Twilight’s nipple, an action that caused her marefriend to stiffen. Her body shook beneath hers while she continued this act of pleasure. Rarity pulled the nipple upwards and let it go with a quiet ‘pop’, giving it one last lick before she moved over the left mound and began suckling on it as well. She felt Twilight shake again, the room being filled with her soft moans, and the heat below Rarity slowly grew in intensity.

“R-Rarity…” Twilight moaned her lover’s name. Her breaths came in a slow and ragged motion, but she continued, “it… feels amazing…”

‘Well, darling… you may believe the sensation you’re experiencing now is great. But the next sensation you’ll feel will be even more decadent.’ Rarity let go of the nipple and returned her travel downwards. She kissed her navel once and stopped, lowered her gaze until her muzzle glowed brightly from the sight she saw. There she saw two moist and wet lips with fluids from inside Twilight dripping out from her small opening. Both puffed-up lips glowed a lighter lavender color from each side.

With the crown jewel in front of her, Rarity moved her hooves to Twilight’s legs and gently pushed them aside, only to meet resistance when Twilight held them together. When she looked up to her marefriend, she could only smile at the expression she saw, with Twilight’s eyes closed and resting the right side of her muzzle on her pillows. Rarity crawled up her marefriend’s body and kissed Twilight on the exposed left side of her muzzle. “Darling… I know you're frightened… but don’t be so nervous. I promised I wouldn’t rush any of this, remember?”

Twilight opened one eye and hesitantly nodded. Rarity looked back down and saw that her legs were not as tense as before. She lowered herself back to Twilight’s jewel and, with not as much effort as before, pushed her marefriend’s legs apart. With the item she was seeking now within reach, she leaned in and gave her lips a gentle kiss. A sharp and high-pitched gasp came from Twilight this time, replacing the soft moans from before.

Rarity leaned in again and this time pressed her tongue against the moist lips, earning another sharp exhale from Twilight. She herself moaned at the taste of her friend, finding her own fluids to be as sweet, if not a little less than, her own. But she continued her strokes against Twilight’s lips before she slowly pushed inwards, which were followed by some softer moans from Twilight that slowly escalated in volume.

She kept the movements of her tongue slow and gentle, licking upwards but avoiding the spot she knew would be the most sensitive. ‘We can leave that little bliss button jealous for now.’ Rarity retracted her tongue and lowered her gaze before she pushed her tongue back out and gently pressed it into the lower part of Twilight. She blushed at the noise of Twilight’s quiet cry of ecstasy, but the sensation of her tongue being compressed together added to the effect as she pushed it further into Twilight.

With her tongue far into her, she simply flicked around her sensitive walls and felt them pulling her tongue further in. The odd feeling was, in a sense, rather pleasant. Another cry came from Twilight, and her breathing grew more and more erratic. “R-Rarity!” With that, Rarity had an idea of how close her friend was. Pulling her tongue out she gazed over her friend and spotted the small mound within her sensitive fleshy interior, and a small smile at the sight of it throbbing, begging her for the attention it desired.

Leaning towards it, she flicked it with her tongue once, and slightly flinched at the much louder gasp from Twilight. With a quick motion, she caught the little nub in her lips and gently suckled against it. Twilight’s moans of pleasure grew in tone until she cried out in bliss. Rarity shook as a warmth quickly flowed across her muzzle and neck as the fluids from inside Twilight rushed out.

When the orgasm ended, Rarity raised her muzzle up and gazed at Twilight. Her cheeks flushed brightly at the sight of her marefriend. Her chest rose up as she quickly breathed in and out, her tiny whimpers the only noise left from her heated cry. Rarity crawled up her friend and brought her lips to Twilight’s, who quietly moaned as their tongues rejoined in their dance.

Once Rarity separated from her marefriend, she smiled before she murmured softly, “How… do you feel?”

The only thing she had for confirmation was the opening of Twilight’s eyes and a smile that seemed to answer Rarity’s question. She flinched at a sudden blissful feeling coursing through body, letting out a gasp. She caught a glimpse of Twilight’s right foreleg moving back and forth, and quickly recognized the hoof that she felt spreading her own lips apart.

Rarity felt the world turn until her back met her mattress, the sensation still present as she felt Twilight’s hoof gently push further into her. It may have been somewhat of a rough sensation, but she felt glad nonetheless that the daydream she’d had in Canterlot was finally happening for real. “T-Twilight… o-oh it’s so d-divine…” Rarity’s moans, though she tried to control them, were a little louder than Twilight’s, but she forced the volume down and soon blushed at how softly her moans echoed in her room.

She felt a wet sensation over her right breast and looked down past her stomach, only for her muzzle to brighten up at the sight of Twilight’s muzzle hiding her mound from view. The feeling of it being suckled, the blissful sensation of it being pulled upwards, coupled with Twilight's hoof rubbing against her folds, increased the pleasure-filled feelings running through her body. It was quite literally what Rarity had imagined pure bliss to feel like. She flinched and arched her back with the sensation running wildly through her body.

Rarity’s breathing increased and her moans grew in volume as she felt the muscles around her sensitive area tighten up. The pressure grew quickly until she felt about ready to burst. But Rarity’s moans turned into high-pitched yelps when she felt Twilight’s tongue dance around her clitoris. The pressure skyrocketed along with the bliss coursing through her body. Her thoughts were colliding with one another, but Rarity did her best to keep control over her mind. She let out a scream as her body expelled the pressure, feeling the warmth that grew inside her finally pour out in a pleasing tide.

Chest rising, she fell flat on the bed and quickly caught her breath again. Rarity opened her eyes and met Twilight’s own gaze; the two stared at one another until Twilight pressed her lips against Rarity’s, who moaned at the taste of her own fluids still fresh on Twilight’s tongue. As the two marefriends filled the room with their breathing, Rarity whimpered at the warmth coming from Twilight’s arousal once more, and in turn she felt her own grow once more.

She turned Twilight gently onto her back and looked down at the mare she loved staring back at her. “R-Rarity… w-what are you doing?”

Rarity caught her breath before she murmured, “Simply… a trick that I feel will make us become closer…” When she saw Twilight’s mouth open to ask another question, she lowered herself onto Twilight, and both mares gasped at the ecstacy of their folds pressing against one another. As Rarity gazed down at Twilight, her marefriend did the same. Their muzzles brightened at the sensation they were both feeling.

Slowly and gently as she could, Rarity began moving herself back and forth, moaning at the euphoria of her folds rubbing against Twilight’s. She heard Twilight’s voice with her own; their whimpers and pleasure-filled squeaks echoed in the air. Rarity flinched when she felt their breasts press against each other, until she let out a soft yelp alongside Twilight’s own weak moan when she felt their sensitive buttons move against the other.

From the sensation Rarity was gaining from this, she felt something more than just bliss. She felt close, much more closer to Twilight than any of the moments during their intimate session.

With these movements Rarity felt the same pressure from before build up, if not in a quicker fashion. “Rarity… I c-can’t hold on…” Twilight’s voice had reduced to just a weak cry.

But Rarity looked down at her marefriend and weakly nodded in reply before she began to pick up the pace a little. The moans of the two grew louder and louder, but unlike their first time, they weren’t as vocal. With one last push, Rarity felt the entire world around her melt. “Twilight!” Rarity cried out with the last remnants of her energy she could muster.

“Rarity!” Twilight returned the favor, but with a weaker tone before the two ceased their movements. Rarity breathed in and out, catching her breath before she looked down. Twilight had her eyes closed; each quiet whimper she made only brought a weak smile to Rarity’s lips. She gently leaned in and brought her lips upon Twilight’s. The two locked together again until she pulled away. “Rarity… I, I love you…” Twilight murmured. Her gaze softened when she stared up into Rarity’s eyes.

Rarity’s smile brightened before she nodded. “I love you too, Twilight. And I’ll continue loving you… no matter what.” With those words, Rarity gently moved to Twilight’s left side and lifted the covers beneath them. Bringing her legs underneath, she then gently lifted Twilight underneath the covers. With her breath caught up to speed, Rarity gently cupped Twilight’s right cheek with her hoof and pecked Twilight on the lips with her own before she murmured, “Thank you… for this.”

Twilight shook her head before she whispered back, “No… thank you. I’m glad that I gave this chance… and I’m glad I could have somepony like you, to be so close to.” With those final words, Twilight’s eyes lowered until she closed them.

Rarity wrapped her forelegs around Twilight’s barrel and brought her close, the same feeling she felt on her own. The exhaustion slowly set in, until all she could hear was the gentle rhythm of Twilight’s breathing with her own. Rarity’s eyes lowered until the darkness of sleep welcomed her from her fatigue-filled intimacy. And with the last image she saw, that image being Twilight herself, a ghostly smile returned to her lips as she slept, and felt all the weariness from her body leave her. This truly would be, as cliche as it sounded, a night to remember.
