Heated

The breeze kissed her mane, with the sweet sound of birds chirping and singing to be heard as music to her ears. A warm, embracing cocoon of sheets and blankets surrounded her body, brushing comfortably along her sleek coat, with the mattress below as the softest and most comfortable resting place. That alone would have warranted for wonderful sanctuary of slumber.

But when Fluttershy came to realize the feeling of something behind her, with a strong hoofhold around her middle, it only made it better. A source of warmth, of comfort against her body. She felt so protected, as if nothing could possibly penetrate this wall of comfortable protection. There was soft breathing from behind her, the strands of a mane tickling her coat, a strong heartbeat, and the fact that a cyan hoof was draped across her middle. Fluttershy realized, as she was waking up, that Rainbow Dash was asleep behind her, and they were spooning.

Smiling, the creamy yellow Pegasus just about melted in the sweet wonders of this. Waking up in the morning next to Rainbow Dash, after such a wonderful night shared between the two was amazing. If this were to happen every morning, she would more than gladly partake with no complaint. She could not believe how much closer they had gotten in the past couple of days, and wondered just how much it would grow. The warm feeling in her heart only kindled all the more as she could now see that they were closer than ever. Their friendship was coming to be far better than it ever had been.

Rainbow Dash stirred a bit from behind her, a sleepy groan escaping her. Fluttershy smiled, and then felt a blush when the cyan Pegasus placed a kiss on her neck before she released her, rolling over to the side. Giggling, Fluttershy rolled over onto her side, in time to see her friend waking up and opening her eyes.

Yawning, then stretching a little, rubbing her eyes, Rainbow Dash then rolled over and looked at her. She grinned widely upon seeing Fluttershy, the sleepiness in her eyes slowly waning. “Hey there, Fluttershy! Morning!”

“Good morning, Rainbow Dash,” Fluttershy said softly, smiling in return. “Did you sleep well?”

“You bet! Might just have to consider moving in here!” Rainbow Dash snickered, reaching over to brush some of Fluttershy's mane out of her face. “But then I'd have to leave you guys behind, and no way am I about to do that now!”

“Yay...” Fluttershy cheered softly. “Well, I can't say I blame you. These beds are very comfortable.”

“And I haven't even slept in mine!” Rainbow Dash realized, snickering. “But I'll bet it's any bit as comfortable as yours, you know.”

A bit of a secretive smile crossed the timid mare's countenance. “Oh dear, then I suppose you can just stay here with me...or we could go into your room, too.”

“Well Fluttershy, you naughty pony!” Rainbow Dash laughed, rolling onto her back as she held her sides with her hooves. “I don't know how it happened, but boy it looks like a little bit of sex with the ever-awesome me has given you a naughty tendency! You should look into that.”

“I think you're right, Doctor,” Fluttershy cooed, and then rolled onto her back as well, stretching her legs before she settled. “I have a problem...I think I like sex with my best friend a bit too much.”

“Oh wow, sounds serious,” Rainbow Dash smirked, now getting up and crawling toward her. “Well, Dr. Dash is here to get you some treatment! What are your symptoms?”

“Well...I feel funny in my tummy, my cheeks get too hot, my hormones skydive, my muscles contract, I feel tight and I get so wet...” The creamy yellow Pegasus giggled, already spreading her hind legs. “She does all these amazing things to me...”

Snickering at their little game, Rainbow Dash continued to play along as she crawled on top of her. “Yep, sounds really serious! I'll have to start treatment right away! My diagnosis is that...you need a little sex, pal.”

“Oh, do I?” Fluttershy giggled again, bringing her forelegs around her companion. “Well, you're the doctor... You know best, don't you?”

“You bet I do!” The cyan Pegasus smirked deviously. “And sure as hay can't help but feel the same thing. You don't know half the things you do to me, Fluttershy.”

“Well, I think you might need some treatment as well, my dear,” said the older mare as she placed a hearty kiss on Rainbow's muzzle.

“Guess even the doctor needs a bit of help from a patient, then,” Rainbow Dash purred, kissing her nose. “So, you want me, Fluttershy? Come on, tell me.”

“I want you, Rainbow...I want you,” Fluttershy cooed, her eyelids lowering.

“Then c'mere, you!”

Shortly after that little command, Rainbow Dash kissed Fluttershy deeply, settling more on top of her. Fluttershy kissed back in kind, her hind legs stroking against her own up and down on occasion. She traced the creamy yellow Pegasus' lips with her tongue, begging for entrance into her sweet cavern. Fluttershy complied, opening her mouth and allowing their tongues to dance.

Wings flaring to convey her interest, Rainbow Dash gently ran her hooves along Fluttershy's sides, even scooting over to one side a bit, situating her hind legs between Fluttershy's right hind leg. She pulled back, proceeding to kiss along her muzzle, then down to her neck. All the while, her hoof travelled lower, coursing along her flank.

'I have to admit, she's got a great flank....what the hay am I saying?! This is Fluttershy! She's got more than just a nice flank! She's my friend, I can't just start mouthing off her physical aspects. ...Fine, she may have a nice flank...but that's nothing compared to her wonderful heart and kindness.'

“Oh...Rainbow Dash...” Fluttershy moaned, running her hooves along the multicoloured mane.

Chuckling, Rainbow Dash smirked against her neck. That sweet-smelling neck, along with the strawberry shampoo she could smell in her mane. “I like when you call my name, Flutters...”

A giggle sounded from the Pegasus beneath her, clearly appreciating that.

Rainbow Dash licked her neck, even nibbled gently, all the while her hoof travelled down between Fluttershy's legs. When she reached her marehood, there was a gasp from Fluttershy as she twitched a bit. Pleased with the reaction, she went to work on teasing the sensitive area, just a little.

Moaning, Fluttershy flared her wings against the mattress and trembled. It may not have been the same as her mouth, but feeling her friend's hoof work along her marehood was certainly a wonderful feeling in it of itself. She thrust her hips against her hoof, wordlessly begging for more.

“Oh...Rainbow....ohhh...oooh....don't stop...” Fluttershy moaned, raising her hips again.

A chuckle came from her best friend as she raised her head to look down at her. “Wasn't planning to, but now that you told me not to, guess I won't,” she winked at her.

“Dashie...” Fluttershy uttered, her hooves clutching her tightly.

Now Rainbow Dash's eyes went wide as she bit her lip, pausing in her movements. Fluttershy panicked, immediately retracting.

“I-I'm sorry...! I know you don't like to be called that, I'm sorry! It just slipped-” but she was silenced by Rainbow Dash's other hoof.

“Cool it, Flutters. Yeah, maybe sometimes it gets annoying when Pinkie calls me that...but for you, I'll make an exception. You're pretty much the only pony who can call me that,” she smiled, and went back to pleasuring her.

“O-Okay, I-oooohhh!” Fluttershy cut herself off the moment she felt Rainbow Dash's hoof push past her entrance. She shuddered and moaned loudly, now bringing her back in for another kiss.

Chuckling, Rainbow Dash kissed her back as she gently pulled her hoof in and out of Fluttershy's entrance, gauging her reactions. Keeping this in mind, she withdrew, and then brought her hoof to play with her nub, now knowing where to find it. She felt the creamy yellow Pegasus squirm in pleasure beneath her, even bucking her hips yet again. At least she seemed to be doing a good job, despite her untrained hoofwork at this.

Pulling back, she also withdrew her hoof upon feeling and sensing that Fluttershy was close to climaxing. The said mare whimpered in protest, but Rainbow Dash knew what she was doing. She carefully positioned herself over her, bringing their marehoods together before she proceeded to masterfully stroke against her. Fluttershy moaned again, now taking hold of her flank as she rose her hips in time to meet hers.

“Rainbow Dash...yes! Oh Rainbow...yes!! Please!”

“Aahh...Fluttershy...”

Both Pegasi opened their eyes to gaze at each other while they proceeded to make love again, their marehoods colliding in delicious friction. For whatever reason, there was just something immensely erotic about gazing at each other from time to time during their sensuous, intimate activity, they found. It was alluring, to say the least, as they felt the binding connection between them when their eyes made contact in the midst of their unbridled lust.

Rainbow Dash moaned, squeezing her eyes shut for a moment. She then leaned over Fluttershy, kissing her deeply as she thrust and rubbed against the other's marehood. Fluttershy kissed back in fervour, wrapping her hind legs around her middle to bind them together. Lips, tongues and marehoods clashing, they fell into heavenly bliss as the immense pleasure between them only elevated, building up much like a volcano about to erupt. Their moans intermixed between their mouths, their movements accelerating, both were some ways away from their erupting climaxes...

Pinkie Pie bounced and trotted to Fluttershy's suite, after having found that Rainbow Dash's was empty yet again, much like the day before. Since it was 9:30, and both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy still hadn't shown up in time for breakfast, she was sent to go and find them.

She wasn't sure if the others noticed, but the two Pegasi had been a lot closer than ever since yesterday. Pinkie was beginning to suspect that there was something going on with them, as if they had a big secret only they knew. Curious as she was, and boy was she ever, she knew that she had to be crafty in order to find out. If that happened, it was likely a secret she wouldn't be able to tell the others.

But that was okay. She could keep secrets and promises no problem. Until then, she just had to see what was going on with them at this present moment.

Upon reaching the door to Fluttershy's suite, she was about to knock when she heard sounds from the other side. Curious, she lay her ear against the gap between both doors to listen in. The sounds sounded like heavy breathing, moaning, and the rustling of sheets. Voices then followed, that although were slightly muffled, managed to carry through somewhat.

“-...idiot...I was an idiot...I'm sorry, Fluttershy, to have ever made you feel like you're not worth anything!”

Pinkie blinked upon realizing that the first voice sounded exactly like Rainbow Dash. Was she in there, too?

“A-aaah...Rainbow...it's all right...I f-forgave you!”

No mistake, Pinkie knew that the second voice was Fluttershy.

“N-No! You deserve better...! Better! I'm gonna make you-aaah!-feel awesome!”

“Oh, Rainbow...”

More moaning, groaning and heavy breathing followed, which alarmed Pinkie. What was going on in there? Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were talking about something, and she knew what. Having gotten closer to the daredevil Pegasus, Pinkie remembered all about how sometimes Rainbow Dash would complain about Fluttershy in a fit of annoyance. Now she was apologizing...accompanied by the strange noises they were making? This worried her.

None the less, she took it in stride, throwing the door wide open.

“Dashie! What are you doing to yourself and why are you in Fluttershy's-”

Pinkie Pie's jaw dropped to the floor, her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates, and she froze in place at the sight ahead of her.

On the bed were Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, with the former laying on top of the latter, rubbing their nether regions together. At least, before they also stopped and stared with wide, embarrassed eyes at the shocked Earth pony. Nopony moved, let alone made a sound. All they did was stare, wide-eyed at one another, trying to let all of this sink in.

It was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

At least, until Pinkie Pie broke into a grin.

“Ooooohhh!! You guys are Doing It! So that's why you didn't come down to breakfast!! Can I join?!” She wasn't sure why she added that, but it just seemed like a perfect time to say such a silly thing.

A pillow was promptly tossed into her face.

“Pinkie! Get out of here! Go wait in the hallway!” Rainbow Dash yelled in a mixture of annoyance and winded. “Just...just wait there!”

“Okey-dokey-lokie!” Pinkie Pie said amiably, and had just been about to bounce back into the hallway when she turned again, seeing a surprising, yet adorable sight.

Rainbow Dash was smiling to Fluttershy, even stroking her mane with her hoof. “You can go into the bathroom and set up a bath, Fluttershy. I'll be right there,” she said tenderly, kissing her forehead.

Pinkie blinked before she disappeared into the hallway to avoid being seen by them, closing the door behind her. She blushed a bit upon recalling the sight of them there, together like that. It was no mistake, they were, in her words, “Doing It” together. It raised so many questions in her mind! How long had they been dating, how long had they been sleeping together, why were they keeping it a secret?

She bounce-paced a bit before one of the suite's doors opened. Rainbow Dash walked out, blushing furiously and looking a bit annoyed.

“All right, Pinks, I'll give it to you straight since the cat's out of the bag. Yes, Fluttershy and me were having sex.”

“'Fluttershy and I',” Pinkie corrected, comically missing the point as she grinned.

“Ugh!” Rainbow Dash crossed a hoof over her eyes in annoyance. “Look, that doesn't matter! The point is that it's exactly what it looked like.”

“Ohhhh! Okay!” Pinkie nodded, grinning. “Well that's awesome! So you two are finally dating?”

“Dating?!” Now the rainbow-maned Pegasus looked genuinely shocked. “N-No! It's not like that! It's...no, we're just friends. Look, it's only been going on since the night of the Gala. We just...kind of have this understanding, okay? We have sex together to relieve stress, to feel better, and we just happen to enjoy it.”

Letting this sink in, Pinkie shrugged and smiled again, “Okay, so you're friends with benefits, then! That's nice!”

“....Wait, that's it? You don't mind?” Rainbow Dash asked in surprise, yet looking a bit relieved.

“Of course not, silly filly! If you and Fluttershy want to have bed-breaking sex together, why not? That's awesome! Oooohh! That means now I have to throw you two a party! An awesome celebration of coming-together-as-friends-with-benefits party! Is there such a party? I don't know...but that's okay! I'll just make one up! It'll be fantastically fantastic!!” Pinkie Pie was on a roll as she bounced around excitedly, already thinking of some ideas for the party.

Panicked, Rainbow Dash shook her head frantically. “Pinkie, NO! You can't!”

Pinkie stopped bouncing and stared at her with surprise. “But why not? It's something worth celebrating, Dashie!”

“No, you don't get it! It's just...Fluttershy and I being...well, friends who sleep together, it's kind of our secret. I just told you because you caught us and there was just no hiding it. But don't tell anypony else, especially not our friends. Not yet, anyway. We're just not ready for that now. Look, we'll tell the rest of you guys when we're ready, okay? Just not now.”

“....Can we still have a party when you tell us?” Pinkie pleaded.

Rolling her eyes, Rainbow Dash sighed and nodded. “Fine. We'll have a little party when that time comes. But ONLY between the six of us. Nopony else.”

“Fair enough!” Pinkie said amiably, grinning.

“Good,” Rainbow Dash exhaled with relief. “So look, just promise me you won't tell anypony. Like I said, we will let you guys know when we feel ready.”

“I Pinkie Promise! Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!” Pinkie made the motions with her hooves, placing one over her left eye. “My lips are sealed, Dashie!”

“Thanks, Pinks,” the cyan Pegasus turned to go back into the room, but was stopped by the pink Earth pony.

“Before you go, there's one more thing,” Pinkie Pie came around to face her, and stared hard into her eyes.

“Um...why are you looking at me like that?”

“Mm-hmm....well Dashie, I just want to know something. Is being with Fluttershy like this fun?”

Rainbow Dash blinked, wondering why she was asking such a question. But then again, it was Pinkie Pie, and was likely curious about this kind of thing, so it made sense to want to know from somepony who experienced it first hand. “Are you kidding? It's awesome! I uh, won't go into details, but I sure enjoy it with Fluttershy! Almost hard to imagine it with anypony else, really.”

“I see!” Pinkie Pie grinned. “Well, I'll just go tell the others that you guys overslept and are getting ready, and will be down soon! TTFN! Ta-ta for now!” She then bounced off down the hall, humming merrily to herself.

“...Right....” Rainbow Dash shook her head and then went back into the room.

Down the hall, Pinkie smiled to herself as she slowed to a trot, making her way out of the guest quarters wing of the castle to get back to the dining hall.

“Oh, Dashie...I wonder when you're going to realize that you're in love with Fluttershy...and that you two are just so perfect for each other!” Pinkie giggled, looking giddy. “I think I'll change the theme of the party!”

“Hey, Fluttershy? You in here?” Rainbow Dash opened the bathroom door. She could hear the water of the shower running this time, as well as the silhouette of her best friend behind the curtains.

“Oh, yes! I'm here!” Fluttershy pulled back the gossamer shower curtains, smiling. “I...thought we could take a shower this time...if you wanted.”

Smirking a little, Rainbow Dash approached the tub. “Well, Fluttershy...is that an invitation?”

“Yes...” Fluttershy winked at her, and then stepped aside to give her some room to get into the tub.

Rainbow Dash got into the tub as well, getting under the spray of the soothing, warm water. Almost immediately, Fluttershy came closer to her and locked their lips in a sweet kiss that nearly took her by surprise. But it wasn't long before she kissed her back, holding the timid pony closer to her under the spray. After a few moments, they parted, and lay their foreheads together.

“What was that for?” Rainbow Dash managed, chuckling a bit as she smiled.

Fluttershy giggled. “For...handling the situation as you did. I'm sorry I...was so quiet. I panicked a bit.”

“Oh, don't sweat it, pal,” Rainbow Dash quickly assured, nuzzling her. “I just told Pinkie the truth...I kinda had to, she caught us red-hoofed. Cat was out of the bag, you know? But she promised she wouldn't tell anypony...and well, you know her with her promises.”

“True...” Fluttershy agreed, nuzzling her back. “Well...that's good...at least she won't tell before we're ready to. That is...if we go on with this long enough...”

Looking to her, Rainbow Dash realized the weight of Fluttershy's words. Coming to think that one day, this could end. That they would no longer turn to each other for this. Never to share this closeness again. It was possible, especially if they were to ever meet somepony they were in love with. The idea of still carrying on behind their backs didn't quite add up, even if it would be of an understanding between the two of them. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but wonder if that would work out right. If at this moment, she fell in love with somepony else, she almost couldn't imagine giving up this closeness with Fluttershy.

It was more than just the amazing sex they had between them. So much more. She could feel such a strange but alluring connecting between them that she didn't want to let go of. She was certain she would never feel it with anypony else she would ever sleep with in the future. It was almost a scary thought, to say the least. Rainbow Dash wondered then. Did she even want anypony else? Not at the moment, it seemed. Would she in the future? Even she wasn't sure about that.

But it had taken having sex with Fluttershy to make her realize how much she enjoyed it. When in the past, she couldn't have cared less about it, let alone ever experiencing it in her lifetime. And now, after two nights and a third day of having sex with Fluttershy, she just loved it. It was almost addicting, even. A perfect way to relieve stress and just enjoy oneself.

As Rainbow Dash thought of it, she wondered if she really did enjoy the sex it self, or if it was because she was having sex with Fluttershy.

'Well, no doubt about it, having sex with Fluttershy is AWESOME. She's amazing at it! Sure, nothing to compare it to, but I don't even think I WANT to compare it! I think I'd rather just have sex with Fluttershy and that's it! After all, this is kind of our thing, our understanding. She's my first, anyway! ...But what if I should sleep with somepony else, just to compare? ...No, I don't even think I can! I don't want to! ...What's wrong with me? ....Either way, I'm not about to end this anytime soon. So long as she's on the same page.'

“Fluttershy...” Rainbow Dash began, and sat them down in the tub, under the spray of the water falling all around them, wetting their manes and tails. “...I know what you're saying, and well, I can't predict the future! But hey, pal, this is awesome, what we have. I'm sure as hay not ready to give it up yet! ...Are you?”

Fluttershy shook her head. “No...”

“Well, neither am I! So, until we both agree to, whenever that'll be...if it ever happens, let's just enjoy it now. You're my best friend, Flutters, and I can sure as hay tell you with all my awesomeness that having sex together is the best thing that ever happened with us. Love it! And we'll continue enjoying it, because hey, nopony's tying us down. It's just you and me, pal,” Now Rainbow Dash grinned nervously, hoping what she said made sense.

Taking in what her friend said, Fluttershy's tense posture relaxed, her brow no longer creased with worry. While they couldn't predict the future, and that maybe one day it would end, there was still one thing she was certain about. That they would still make wonderful memories to look back upon. She knew, in her heart, that she would never regret that she was her first time.

“...You're right, it is. You and I...” Fluttershy nuzzled her, bringing her forelegs around her. “And no matter what happens, I'll always treasure it, as I said before.”

A chuckle escaped Rainbow Dash as she brought her forelegs around Fluttershy's middle. “You said it, Fluttershy. Me too.”

For a few moments, they simply gazed into each other's eyes, smiling fondly. The warm water continued to fall on and around them, but wasn't deterring in the slightest as they found themselves yet again lost in each other. Once more their lips met, bringing each other closer in their warm embrace.

There really was something about their kissing that Fluttershy couldn't help but love. Every kiss they shared, she adored them. Be it from a simple exchange of sweet affection, or a searing session of making out. In a sense, it was somewhat odd that they kissed each other as if they were lovers, but it didn't matter to her. Friends with benefits or not, who's to say two friends, in mutual consent, couldn't kiss each other? Either way, she didn't care. She enjoyed them so much, and felt no regret in having Rainbow Dash be her first kiss as well. As far as she was concerned, considering how adept they were at it by now, she almost didn't want to know what kissing anypony else would be like.

They parted, reluctantly, but then Rainbow Dash smiled as she then took the hoofcloths, then the bar of soap, which she lathered up into the cloth. She then took one of Fluttershy's hooves, beginning to wash it. Up and down her foreleg she went, and then the other. She went lower, down to her hind legs to take care of those beforehoof. Then her neck and chest, carefully, then along her sides she washed her, going slowly and gently. It was relaxing, washing somepony like this, especially since Fluttershy sat still and let her do so.

It brought her back to their fillyhood days, when sometimes, Fluttershy would get a little motherly with her and clean her. Rainbow Dash at the time didn't like being babied, but had always just let her do her thing, obediently sitting still and waiting until it was over, despite her grumbles. Oh, those were the days...

Coming back to the present, Rainbow Dash motioned for Fluttershy to turn around. The timid pony nodded and did so, sitting with her back facing her. Carefully, she brushed the blossom-pink mane aside and began to work on scrubbing her back. She whistled a bit, smiling as she heard Fluttershy let out relaxed moans, clearly enjoying the pampering treatment. The applied white suds of the soap washed away from the shower's spray as she went along, up and down, and then along her flank. Then her hips, carefully angling her for the water to wash off the suds.

Rainbow Dash then reached around, holding Fluttershy steady with one foreleg, and using her other to clean down her tummy. The creamy yellow Pegasus giggled as she did so, ticklish from the treatment. She went lower, along her inner thighs, before traversing along her marehood to clean it. This earned a breathy gasp from Fluttershy, who trembled a little. Tempted as she was, Rainbow Dash cleared away from the beckoning area as she continued to wash her companion.

“All clean,” Rainbow Dash draped her forelegs around Fluttershy from behind, kissing her neck sweetly. “You already smell nice, Fluttershy.”

Fluttershy giggled, blushing a bit. “Oh, Rainbow Dash...you're very good at this. It's nice to wash each other, isn't it?”

“Heh, you know, I used to think it was silly and just something you don't do with somepony. But boy was I wrong!” Rainbow Dash chuckled, letting her go as she rinsed the cloth under the spray. “It's pretty nice, I guess!”

“That's wonderful,” Fluttershy turned around, taking the other cloth. “Now it's my turn to wash you, my dear.”

“Wash away, pal!” Rainbow Dash grinned.

With a soft laugh, Fluttershy went to work on washing her best friend. It was only the start of their morning, and it was proving to be very promising in so many ways.
