Everypony Loves Ice Cream!
When Flash Sentry had signed up for the Crystal Guard, he had imagined a life of excitement and glamour. He'd entertained notions of being sent off to faraway lands to safeguard the future of his homeland, of repelling invaders at the tip of a spear, and of being decorated and recognised for his service to his military and his country.
What he had not expected was to a) have put on a ton of weight and b) become Shining Armour and Princess Cadance's personal "playmate", as Shining put it. Then again, there was no position in the world he would rather have been in, either.
Flash had only recently been fattened up and permitted to join the Crystal Empire's rulers in their bedroom, working with Shining to satisfy Cadance's lust for larger stallions, but already he felt like he'd found his true raison d'être as a servant of the Empire. In fact, he'd been convinced of that the second Shining had first wrapped him in a warm, blubbery embrace, while Cadance gently poked and teased him from behind, tickling his love handles and softly nipping the back of his thick neck. It was a memory that Flash would forever hold dear to his heart.
For the next week or so, he had wondered when he would next be called into the ruler's bedchambers for another night of fun. He had asked Shining the morning after their first night together.
"You won't be joining us every night, I'm afraid," Shining had said, over a high-calorie breakfast of pancakes, waffles and hash browns. "You're still a soldier in the Crystal Guard, after all, with all the duties that entails." He had then smiled mischievously. "But trust me, when you do spend the night with us, we'll make it more than worth your while."
That had been enough for Flash. Now, as he stood with the rest of his company waiting for the daily troop inspection, he hoped that tonight would be his lucky night. Even in the cool sunlight of the late morning, he was starting to sweat from his bulk being compressed into his armour—even with it being specially widened, his flab practically begged to be released from its confines. His new weight had earned him the playful mockery of many of his fellow guards, who had bestowed on him the nickname of "Flab Sentry". Flash took it all in his stride, however—that sort of hazing was part and parcel of being in the Crystal Guard. Besides, he knew that there was just a hint of jealousy mixed in, too...
"Ten-hut!"
Upon the shouting of this command by Lieutenant Steel Valour, every guard immediately snapped to attention, shoulders rigid and eyes facing straight forward in a perfect display of military discipline. As they stood to attention, Shining Armour himself walked up for the inspection.
Well, "walked" wasn't entirely accurate. "Waddled" or "lumbered" might have fit better, with the 300-plus pound stallion taking short, swaying steps, the parts of his hefty body not already covered by his armour wobbling and jiggling visibly. Despite this, Shining still managed to hold an air of unquestioned authority whenever he passed by, which spoke worlds about how much he was respected by his troops.
Steel Valour gave Shining a smart salute, which Shining returned before beginning his procession along the line of unmoving, unblinking stallions. Occasionally, he'd pause in his movement and use his magic to slightly adjust a guard's helmet, or place a chubby hoof on their shoulder to fix their posture. With others, he'd offer brief words of praise—"Very good, soldier"—which would be acknowledged by an almost imperceptible nod from the recipient.
Eventually, Shining came to Flash, whereupon he used his magic to tuck in a strand of mane that had poked out from his helmet. Once he had done that, he gave Flash a small smile and a wink, before moving on to the final three stallions in line. Flash allowed himself the briefest of grins. That could only mean something good.
"Excellent as always, Lieutenant," Shining said to Steel Valour, once he had finished up the inspection.
"Thank you, sir," Steel replied.
Shining then leaned forward closer to Steel and muttered something to him that Flash couldn't make out.
Steel nodded. "Yes, sir," he replied, before shouting to Flash. "Private Sentry! New orders! You are to accompany the Captain post-haste, then report back to the barracks."
Flash almost squealed with joy, but managed to contain himself. "Yes, sir!" he replied, before marching over to Shining, who smiled warmly at him as they set off, Flash's flab bouncing almost in time with Shining's.
"The rest of you!" Flash heard Steel shout as they left. "Fall out and return to your posts! Move it!"
"How you doing, Flash?" Shining asked as they headed back to the castle.
"I'm doing well, thanks," Flash replied. "From the way you called me away, I can only assume you need my... special services again?" He smirked.
Shining chuckled. "We do indeed, Flash," he said. "After dinner tonight, I'll take you back to the bedroom with me. Cadance has something special lined up for us tonight, believe me."
Flash grinned. "Awesome! What is it?"
"Ah, that's for me to know and you to find out," Shining said teasingly, patting Flash on the back. "She did tell me to give you a hint, though—save room for dessert."
Now that sounded promising. "Alright, then," Flash said, before frowning. "Wait. If this is happening after dinner, why are you calling me away now?"
Shining grinned. "Because I'm hungry. I was wondering if you'd like to join me for brunch. I hear the chefs have got more of those Prench oats you love so much."
Flash laughed. "That sounds perfect," he said.
"Mm-mm!" Flash said happily, licking his lips as he and Shining headed to the bedroom later that evening. "If that's the sort of food royalty gets to eat all the time, I'm surprised Cadance hasn't put on weight yet."
Shining shrugged. "Faster alicorn metabolism, I suppose," he said, before smiling and poking Flash in the side. "Not like a certain pair of fatsos I could care to mention."
Flash blushed and smiled at the contact, nudging Shining in his much softer gut in return. "It's a shame we didn't get dessert, though. What was up with that? Normally, you're all about dessert."
"I am," Shining replied, giving Flash a playful smile. "Remember what I told you earlier? Dessert is coming up now. We're just going to have it in the bedroom."
"Ooh," Flash said, looking enticed. "And what are we going to have?"
"You'll see," Shining said simply, as they reached the door to the royal bedchambers. He reached out a hoof and knocked firmly on the door, the raps echoing around the hallway. "Cadance, sweetie, we're here! Is everything set?"
"Hold on!" Cadance called back, her voice muffled slightly through the door. "I'm not quite ready yet..."
What followed was the hiss of what sounded like an aerosol can—the kind that one might use for spraying whipped cream or spray cheese. The noise continued for a few seconds, then stopped. By now, Flash was thoroughly intrigued.
"Alright," Cadance said, her voice sounding a little more sultry. "Come on in."
"Flash, would you like to lead the way?" Shining asked, a glint in his eyes which told Flash that he wouldn't be disappointed by what he saw on the other side.
"Sure," Flash replied, before reaching out and twisting the doorknob, pushing the door open. He stuck his head inside to get a look at Cadance...
"Oh," he gasped. There really were no other words to encapsulate how he felt upon seeing the sight before him.
Cadance was stretched out on the bed, as expected. What wasn't expected was what she was... wearing, for want of a better word.
Cadance was covered from head to hock in what looked like ice cream, chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Layers of thick white cream covered her sides and flanks, while her back was covered with delectable-looking dark brown chocolate sauce, strong enough that Flash could smell it even from where he stood. The sauce was studded with sprinkles, practically glinting in the light of the room. On her horn, half a dozen doughnuts had been placed. Finally, to complement the whole thing, a fresh red apple had been placed in her mouth.
As he gawked at the sight before him, Flash could feel his wings extend in a display of how utterly tantalising he found this. He tried to speak, but could only feel his tongue flop about uselessly.
"What did I tell you?" Shining said jovially, placing a hoof on Flash's back and guiding him to the bed. "Is that the best-looking dessert ever or what?"
"I... I..." Flash mumbled, trembling slightly as Shining helped him onto the bed.
"And what's more," Shining continued, climbing onto the bed himself, "we aren't going to leave a bite of it uneaten. Are we, Cady?"
Cadance shook her head. "Uh-uh," she said through her gag.
"Now, Flash," Shining said, giving Flash the bedroom eyes. "I'm gonna start with the apple and doughnuts, I think. What do you say you get to work on the good ol' ice cream à la flank?"
Finally managing to snap himself out of it, Flash nodded and grinned widely. "Yes, sir!" he said enthusiastically. With that, he leaned forward tentatively and took a long lick of the ice cream on Cadance's flank.
Flash closed his eyes and moaned softly as he felt the cream melt on his tongue. It was absolutely delicious—sweet, rich and creamy. As he felt it slide down his throat, he caught another, stranger taste, almost like cherry cola. He could only assume that particular flavour had come from Cadance herself. Flash licked his lips. Whatever it was, it was delectable, and he immediately moved in for another taste.
At Cadance's other end, Shining had plucked the apple from Cadance's mouth and bitten it clean in half, swallowing it in just a couple of bites.
"This is, hooves down, one of the best ideas you've ever had," he murmured softly.
Cadance giggled. "Told you it was a good idea, didn't I? It certainly sounds like Flash is enjoying himself."
"Sure does," Shining smiled, before plucking the doughnuts off Cadance's horn. "I'll give him a hoof with that ice cream... just as soon as I'm done here." He took a bite from one of the doughnuts, screwing his eyes shut and moaning appreciatively.
Meanwhile, Flash was having the time of his life as he lovingly lapped around Cadance's thighs and flanks, making sure to get every drop of delicious ice cream that he could. Occasionally, he'd get lucky enough to take in a mouthful of whipped cream as well as ice cream, forming a very agreeable heavy sensation in his mouth. As he ate, he wondered idly just how the ice cream hadn't melted from Cadance's body heat yet. Some kind of cryomancy, maybe? Probably. All Flash really cared about was how it tasted good, and that he was having the time of his life eating it. As he continued to lovingly lick around her, he could see patches of pink fur where he had licked all the way through the thick, creamy layer.
Beside him, Shining let out a small burp as he swallowed the final doughnut.
"Alright," he said playfully to Cadance. "I think it's about time I stopped Flash from hogging all the ice cream, and especially the chocolate sauce."
With that, Shining shifted position so he was over Cadance's chocolate-covered back. He lowered his head and began to noisily slurp up the heavenly treat, accompanied by small crunches as he bit down on the sprinkles. This, combined with Flash still happily lapping up the cream around Cadance's flank and side, was enough to draw a moan from the mare.
"Oh, my," she said softly. "Such a greedy pair of stallions..."
Shining took this as his cue to redouble his efforts, taking to sucking the ice cream out of Cadance's fur as well as simply lapping it up.
"Keep going, Flash," he said cheerfully. "We don't want to leave a scrap of dessert on this lovely mare."
"Mmm... you got it, Shining," Flash replied, sighing happily as he continued to work his way around Cadance's side, occasionally heading north and stealing a bit of chocolate sauce and sprinkles for himself. He could hear Cadance moaning as he lapped around her, exposing more and more of her pink fur as he continued to eat. That sound... sweet Celestia, it was so sensual. In fact, this whole thing was the most sensual experience he'd ever had in his life. He almost felt sorry that it would have to end soon.
On Cadance's other side, Shining was making short work of his own serving of ice cream, as well as most of the chocolate sauce. He was already familiar with how his wife tasted, having "tasted" her in another, much more intimate manner many times before, and felt that the sweet undertone of cherry only compounded how utterly divine the ice cream and chocolate sauce itself was. Licking a few stray flecks of sauce from his lips, he made a mental note to personally commend the palace chefs for their efforts the following day.
Inch by inch, lick by lick, Shining and Flash worked their way towards Cadance's head, eroding the layers of ice cream as they went. Cadance wriggled and giggled at the ticklish teasing of their tongues, revelling in the wonderful sensations. Even if she wasn't eating, she was still having just as great a time as they were.
Finally, Shining and Flash had reached Cadance's face. They gazed across at each other and smiled, before leaning forward and planting a long, wet kiss on both of her cheeks, leaving behind bits of ice cream as they did so. Once they had done that, they wrapped their forelegs around Cadance and wriggled up close to her, sighing happily as they felt their ice cream-filled bellies gurgle beneath them. They had succeeded in completely cleaning off Cadance, with only a few sticky stains remaining on her coat.
"So, Flash... best dessert ever?" Shining asked, grinning.
Flash laughed and nodded. "Best dessert ever," he agreed. "Thank you, guys. That was... incredible."
"We aim to please, right, Shiny?" Cadance said teasingly.
"That we do," Shining replied, leaning in and giving her another kiss.
"There's still the matter of cleaning myself off, though..." Cadance muttered, before smiling. "What do you say to hitting the hot tub together?"
"Hot tub?" Flash repeated, eyes wide.
"Hot tub," Shining confirmed. "Care to join us, Flash?"
Flash laughed delightedly—this evening just kept getting better.
"Lead the way, guys," he replied, smiling widely. "Lead the way."
