Romp

...Collapsed with a sickening thud.

“N-nn-NNGGHH!” Rainbow felt her body slam into the soft earth, her head snapping to the side with the force of Twilight’s stomp. After several seconds of simply trying to stay conscious, she stretched her neck out from the brim of the massive hoof to look up.

Twilight stared down, her violet eyes reflecting her cerulean muzzle, as she leered over her tiny frame. “You stupid little stain,” she spat down, venom laced in her tone. “Did you really think you could get away with that?”

As Rainbow struggled just to breathe under the weight of Twilight’s hoof, she briefly found it amusing just how sensitive she was to an old pegasi trick. “J-jeez,” she managed to sputter, “I didn’t think it’d work that well.”

Twilight knelt down with a snarl, crushing the trees beneath her belly as she kept Rainbow securely pinned under hoof. “Let’s see you try that again.” She shifted the weight of her hoof, grinding Rainbow against the dirt below.

“Mmmngh!!” Rainbow closed her eyes as her side shifted painfully against the gritty earth, before coming to a stop once again.

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Twilight said as she lowered her head near her hoof, her chest and neck knocking the few remaining trees standing to the ground. “Seems like you’re a little stuck at the moment.”

To her own surprise, Rainbow managed to roll her eyes with a breathy chuckle, amused at how corny Twilight could be even in a fit of rage.

If she knew pegasi instincts well – and assuming this would carry out the same way with an alicorn – Twilight would be winding down from her fury any moment now. If that were the case, then she needed to act fast.

Shifting onto her back, she grabbed the edge of Twilight’s hoof and looked up at the sneering mare. With a choke, she wheezed, “I-is that all you’ve got?” Swallowing down bile once more, she said, “Big bad pony can’t even f-finish the fight?”

Twilight tilted her head, a smirk forming across her muzzle. “I could crush you right here if I wanted. Snap every bone in your puny little body with just a step,” she said, emphasizing her point by leaning the weight of her foreleg further against Rainbow’s barrel.

Rainbow clenched her jaw shut, holding in what little oxygen she had left in her lungs as Twilight’s hoof threatened to force it all out. After a moment, she felt the weight ease up a little bit.

Gotta… finish this… before I conk out.

With a shaky breath, Rainbow peered back up once more at Twilight, returning her own smirk. “But I know you. Th-that’s not how you want to finish this, n-now is it?”

Twilight narrowed her eyes at the pegasus. Slowly, her smirk began to widen into a wicked grin.

With a flick of her hoof, she snatched Rainbow up in the crux of her fetlock and stood to her full height, feeling the crumbs of the forest cling to her coat a moment before falling to the earth far below. Slowly, she pulled Rainbow up to eye level.

Rainbow pushed against the edge of her hoof with a grunt, allowing herself some room to breathe. She hung her head a moment, struggling to catch her breath, before looking up at Twilight.

Twilight’s violet eyes stared at her, cold and menacing, as the amber sun reflected off her irises. The bangs of her two-tone mane, the width of a castle, glistened with brilliant hues of sapphire and rose. Just beyond her neck, the back of her mane billowed in a cool breeze, the thick locks taller than even the tallest buildings in Canterlot.

Rainbow’s breathing slowed as she soaked in the sight. This time, she wouldn’t allow herself to be scared. It had been a long time since she had faced even a remotely similar situation, and at the outset, she had no idea Twilight’s idea would beckon long-kept secrets of her own. But here she was, held tight in her friend’s grasp.

And for the first time in years, she allowed herself to submit.

Twilight blinked. Suddenly, the rage within her began to bleed away, being quickly replaced with awe at the sight in front of her.

Rainbow Dash sat clenched in her grasp, her prismatic mane billowing in tiny strands out the side of her hoof as the sunset gave warmth to the various hues. With small, magenta eyes, the pegasus stared up at her. She could feel the slow rise and fall of her friend’s breathing against the coat of her fetlock.

Though her rage continued to subside, the sight held fast to one instinct within her – one deep, tempting desire she wished nothing more than to sate.

She brought Rainbow closer to her muzzle, her lips trembling in fear as her eyes began to well with tears.

With a smile, Rainbow gave the edge of her hoof a gentle squeeze. “Finish it.”

Twilight whimpered.

“Finish it now!” Rainbow shouted.

Screwing her eyes shut, Twilight tossed her head back and opened her mouth, the shadow of her massive form cascading across the landscape as she tossed the little pegasus inside. Clenching her jaw shut, she wrapped her tongue tightly around the coat hairs, the plumes of feathers, the fragile body of her friend.

And with only the slightest hesitation, she swallowed her whole.

Rainbow Dash kept her eyes closed. The now-familiar sensation of saliva soaking her coat still came to her as disgusting, but that mattered little at the moment. There, in the dark chasm of Twilight’s throat, the one thing she focused on was not the anticipation of the spell breaking. It wasn’t the thought of trying to fight, or the desire to win, or the need to escape, either.

No. This time, she accepted her fate.

Her fate was in the hooves of her friend.

And that alone comforted the mare.

With a flash of light, Twilight brought the spell to an end. Across from her, Rainbow swayed slightly, though she remained sitting upright.

“Rainbow Dash!” Twilight stood to her hooves. “Are you okay? Do you feel alright?”

Rainbow bobbed her head in answer, moaning a little as she rubbed her head. “Head feels a little funny, but… yeah.” She looked up with a proud grin. “You did great, Twi.”

Twilight exhaled in relief. “But, I don’t understand. Why did I get so angry at you?”

Rainbow tilted her head with a smirk. “Virgin wings, I assume?”

“Huh?” Twilight fanned her wings out, glancing between them with a perplexed look. “Wh-what do you mean by—”

Rainbow spread her own wings to reveal their plumes. “Of all ponies, I figured you’d know that pegasi – and I guess alicorns, too – have really sensitive primaries. Yank one of these babies out,” she said, suggesting to the larger feathers of her wings, “and the fight instinct kicks into high gear.” She chuckled as she added, “Worked every time in flight school.”

“So…” Twilight’s wings drooped for a moment before recoiling against her sides. “You did that just to make me…?”

“Yep,” Rainbow chirped with a nod. “Worked pretty well too, looks like.”

Twilight sighed, frowning at Rainbow. “If that’s the case, then I could’ve seriously hurt you again! Why would you—”

Rainbow wagged her head back and forth with an arched eyebrow and narrowed eyes. “Uuuhhh, no? Remember?” She booped Twilight on the noggin. “You changed the spell, right?”

Twilight blinked. “W-well, yes, but—”

“So this time, everything that happened in the imagidreamplacethingy was safe. Right?”

“Uh… I mean, as far as I know, yes.”

“So, the better question then is…” Rainbow’s lips curled into a smile as she leaned forward. “Did you have fun?”

Twilight leaned away from Rainbow, though she didn’t break eye contact. Stifling a blush, she muttered, “Um… y-yeah.” She smiled feebly. “I… kind of did.”

Rainbow closed her eyes, exhaling with a smile as she leaned back. “That’s what I was hoping for.” Standing to her hooves, she turned for the door of the bedroom. “C’mon. There’s something else I want to tell you.”

Twilight stood as well, tilting her head. “What’s that?”

Cracking the door open, Rainbow looked over her shoulder. “A little secret of my own.” With that, she turned for the hallway, trotting with the sound of hooves against crystal.

Twilight stood motionless for a moment, staring blankly as Rainbow disappeared deeper into the castle. All of the events of the past few minutes – of the past few hours, for that matter – tugged at the back of her mind, begging for a logical debriefing.

Shaking her head clear of the thoughts for now, she drew a breath, then followed her friend.
