The Real Estate Agent Of Poker
The burning flames within the fireplace kept a portion of the cabin lit, the warmth circulated, while the shadows danced on the walls. Beyond the windows, diamond-sized snowflakes fell in a steady stream, following an occasional howl of the wind. Within the cabin itself was a soft silence, at least for the time being.
Fluttershy peered up at her best friend over the cards she was holding in her hooves. She studied Rainbow Dash’s apparent “poker face” and smiled. This was going to be interesting, as it usually could be when they played card games together.
Looking down at her own hand for a moment, she made an exchange of two cards, coming out with a fairly decent hand of three of a kind.
“Are you ready?” The timid woman queried, flapping her cards lightly for emphasis.
Rainbow looked flatly over her cards, before bending her hand toward her chest, looking at her friend, throwing two bits into the center, “Yeah. I’m in.”
Placing two bits as well, Fluttershy lay down her hand, “Three of a kind, Jacks.”
“Full house,” Rainbow smirked, laying her cards down to show three fives and two kings.
“Got me again!” Fluttershy giggled, gathering the cards to shuffle them, “You sure are on a lucky streak tonight, Dashie.”
“What can I say, Shy. Poker’s my game,” Rainbow smirked, leaning back and crossing her legs behind her equine head. That is, before she remembered she wasn’t sitting against anything and fell flat over onto the floor.
Letting out a pained “ooh”, Fluttershy got up and circled around the table to help her friend up, “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m alright,” Rainbow said, sitting up and propping her fetlocks onto the table.
“You’re not hurt?”
“Just my pride.”
Fluttershy gave her a sad smile, “I’m the only one here.”
“What difference does that make?” Rainbow asked.
Deciding not to argue, Fluttershy sat back down in her seat and shuffled the cards, “Well, whatever.”
Dealing the cards again, Rainbow took one look at her hand and sighed. Nothing good, just two 3’s and a Queen. Fluttershy’s eye twitched as she tried to contain her own excitement. She was holding four Aces.
“Here we go,” Fluttershy slid in three bits this time, “Well, gosh, good thing we’re not playing strip poker. Otherwise, I’d be screwed.”
Rainbow lifted her cards over her muzzle and cleared her throat, “Uh… yeah. Good thing, right?” She called Fluttershy’s bet and laid down three cards, “Give me three, Shy.”
Nodding, Fluttershy took three cards from the deck and slid them over to her, “There you go.”
Rainbow looked at her new hand. Another full house, ‘Score!’ she thought, putting two more bits onto the pile, “Raise you two, Shy.”
“Oh? Well, I’ll raise you another,” Fluttershy smiled, placing another bit onto the pile.
Rainbow cocked an eyebrow, ‘Shy never raises. Does she have something?’ She threw a bit onto the pile, “Call you.”
“I’m in,” Fluttershy laid down her cards, “Four of a kind, aces.”
Rainbow’s eyes bugged out of her head and her mouth hung open. It was perhaps the most cliche’d hand in TV shows that made fun of poker, but she’d never seen someone get it in real life. Lowering her cards face down, she just sighed, “Wow… ya got me.”
“Oh, come on, what did you have?” Fluttershy asked, hiding a smile behind her hoof.
Rainbow flipped her hoof over with a sigh, showing another full house.
Fluttershy patted her hoof, “You almost had me there! Want to go again?”
Rainbow chuckled, “Sure, deal ‘em again. But I’m starting to run out of bits.”
“All right, one more round,” Fluttershy shuffled the cards a few times, then dealt them, “Oh, do you want some more hot chocolate?”
Rainbow perked up, “Yeah, sure!”
Fluttershy hopped up and grabbed Rainbow’s mug, dashing off to the kitchen where the hot chocolate was sitting on the stove. Rainbow watched her as she left, her eyes drawn to her flank. Biting her lip a little, she turned back and looked at her hand. Flush.
“Oh, sometimes I wish we were playing strip poker…”
Ever oblivious to her friend’s plight, Fluttershy returned and placed their mugs down onto the table before seating herself. She took her hand, looking it over, then pouted. All she had were a pair of threes, a one, and a seven. Making an exchange, she ended up with two pairs, a pair of threes and a pair of sevens.
“I’m out, two pairs,” Fluttershy placed her hand down.
As neither of them had put any money on the table, Rainbow shrugged and laid her own hand down, “Good thing, I guess. Flush.”
Fluttershy laughed as she shuffled the cards again, “Yikes, dodged a bullet there. Another hand?”
“Yeah,” Rainbow smiled, sipping her cocoa, her eyes darting to Fluttershy’s sweater and back.
Shuffling and dealing the cards once more, Fluttershy stretched her legs and then looked over her hand. This time she had two Queens and two fours. Rainbow, on the other hand (ha) was holding another full house.
‘I’m like the real estate agent of Poker,’ she thought as she threw two bits into the pile.
Tugging at the collar of her sweater, Fluttershy placed her cards face down, “Gosh, it got a little warmer in here. I think I’ll take my sweater off for a bit,” she said, and proceeded to lift off her fluffy green sweater.
‘Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh,’ Rainbow said, holding her cards up to her muzzle to hide her blush. Fluttershy always wore a white tank top underneath her sweater which hugged her body. When the mare had lifted her sweater off, Rainbow could make out every curve of her torso and her… assets.
Crossing her legs, she cleared her throat again, “So, are you in or not, Shy?”
Nodding, Fluttershy exchanged a card, getting a nine. She threw in two bits, “Yes, I’m in. Two pairs.”
Rainbow lowered her hand, “Full House again,” she said, taking the small pile of bits.
Smiling, Fluttershy piled the cards up neatly, “Well, I should just strip myself and call it saving time at this point. I don’t even think I’d be keeping my socks.”
Rainbow felt her face getting warm, and this time with no cards to cover herself with, “Heh-heh, yeah. That would… that would certainly be the case.”
“Are you okay? Your face is red… Are you too ho-” Fluttershy cut herself off upon practically remembering that Rainbow was in a tank and shorts, “Never mind. Are you all right?”
“Yeah, it’s just…” Rainbow decided that a little honestly wouldn’t hurt, “All this talk of strip poker’s just kinda...getting me a little flustered.”
Fluttershy blinked, trying to make sense of what her friend was saying, “...You mean… you’d like that?”
Rainbow’s eye twitched a little. She’d meant to say that it was making her a little uneasy. She hadn’t meant to say she wanted Shy to strip her clothes off, even though she did want her to strip her clothes off, “I… I uh… what I meant to say was that… I’m just a little nervous about the idea.”
“What’s there to be nervous about?” Fluttershy asked, momentarily wondering why she of all people was asking that, “We’re both girls here.”
Rainbow turned her head a little, “Shy… I… I…” she mumbled something under her breath as her face reddened further.
Concern washed over her as Fluttershy reached over to touch her hand, “You what? You know you can tell me anything, Dashie. What’s bothering you?”
“Nothing’s bothering me, I just…” Rainbow bit her lip, “like… mares.”
“Ohhh…” Fluttershy let that process for a few moments, then smiled warmly, “That’s nothing to be ashamed of. I… well, I admittedly didn’t quite expect that… But that’s okay. So you like mares, that’s fine. I’m sorry I teased you, though… I-I wasn’t… I didn’t know,” she looked down a bit with embarrassment.
“I’m not ashamed of it, Shy,” Rainbow smiled weakly, “Equestria’s pretty progressive. I mean, Granny Smith’s always been pretty skittish about it, but she’s not mean about it. She’s just old and doesn’t know better. I was just… a little embarrassed. You were joking around about playing strip poker and… well you’re really beautiful.”
Fluttershy’s eyes went wide for a second, but she blushed and smiled, “Really? You… You think I’m attractive?”
“Look at me, Shy,” Rainbow laughed a little, “I’m redder than the Apple Family’s best crops.”
Flattered, the pinkette giggled bashfully as she looked downward, holding her cheeks, “Oh, gosh… Thank you, that’s really sweet.”
“Thanks. You… you have a really…” she trailed off into mumbling again.
“Hmm? A really what?” Fluttershy queried, tilting her head cutely.
“You have a really…” Rainbow blushed deeper, “...cute flank.”
The compliment made Fluttershy blush immensely, giggling, “Awww… You think so? Thank you, Rainbow… It means a lot coming from you.”
“So… you don’t mind that I’m attracted to you?” she asked, reaching over for a hug.
Fluttershy smiled and reached over to hug her, “Of course not, Dashie. You can’t help who you’re attracted to, and I trust you very much. If anything, I’m really flattered you find me so attractive. It’s sweet… Um, well, if I can be honest… I think you’re attractive, too.”
“Yeah, but you’re not gay, Shy,” Rainbow laughed, squeezing her midsection tightly.
“What difference does that make? I still have eyes, I think you’re cute,” Fluttershy nuzzled her affectionately, “Come on. You’re really pretty and your rainbow hair is a unique feature. I don’t have to like mares to find them attractive, silly.”
“Thanks, Shy,” Rainbow said, nuzzling her more than ample chest before realizing what she was doing and shifting her head to her shoulder.
Giggling, Fluttershy ruffled her mane, “You’re welcome. Um, if you don’t mind my asking… have you… felt this way for a while?”
“Hmm? Well, I’ve always felt this way, I guess,” Rainbow shrugged, pulling away from her, “I never really liked colts growing up, and they say you’re born that way anyway.”
“That’s true,” Fluttershy agreed, sitting back down proper, “Now that I think about it… you’re right, you really never did express an interest in colts… ever. I always figured you just didn’t really think about them or really want to. Which is understandable, but now that I see the deeper reason why…” She leaned back in her chair a little, “Why did you never tell me? You know I wouldn’t have judged you.”
“I guess it’s the environment,” Rainbow shrugged, “When all of your friends are mares, and you come out of the closet to them, they all start wondering if and when you’re gonna start hitting on them.”
“Oh, that’s not true,” Fluttershy said softly, wringing her hooves, “Twilight came out to us back in Middle School and we’ve always been friends.”
“What about that time she got all touchy feely with Rarity?” Rainbow asked, “Remember? When she went all punk-rock and tried to get us to call her Dusk?”
“Hey, she was going through a rough patch and needed a… you’re right, she went completely off the rails. Nonetheless, I am glad you told me. And you know I won’t tell anybody. It isn’t my secret to tell, anyway. Don’t you worry about that.”
“Oh, I’m not worried about that,” Rainbow smiled, sitting up in the chair, “Look at Lyra Heartstrings, she’s openly gay. Same with that Donut stallion in Canterlot. Hell, look at Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake. They’re siblings and they were welcomed pretty well when they started telling people they were a thing.”
Fluttershy laughed a bit, “I stand corrected.”
“But thanks for understanding all the same, Shy,” Rainbow said, shifting over the the sofa she was sitting on and hugging her again.
“Awwww, you’re welcome,” Fluttershy returned the hug and smiled, “I’ll always be there for you, Dashie.”
“Oh Celestia, you smell so good,” Rainbow took a whiff of her mane before pulling away, “Okay, I gotta stop that. Personal space and all.”
“...I don’t mind,” Fluttershy twirled a strand of her mane around her hoof, “Come on, nothing has to change with us. You’re still my best friend and all. Come on now… you know I’m a cuddle bug… You’re not going to deprive me, are you?” She pouted for effect.
“No but… I can be a little grabby, and you’re with Big Mac and all,” Rainbow squirmed in her seat.
“...Oh, right,” Fluttershy slumped a bit as she lay back against the sofa, “Mac asked if I wanted to move in… I told him no.”
“Why?” Rainbow asked, sitting up at this, her blush starting to fade.
Letting out a little sigh, Fluttershy looked up toward the ceiling, “I know we’d been together for about a year now, but I just… I don’t feel ready. I don’t even feel like I’d be doing it for the right reasons. I don’t want do it because it’s the ‘next thing to do’, but because I’d want to. I… didn’t feel like I wanted to. At least not enough to justify moving out of my cottage and into Sweet Apple Acres…”
“Is everything okay?” Rainbow asked, shifting closer and putting a hand on her shoulder, “Is there something wrong between you two?”
“Are you kidding? At least something would be happening,” Fluttershy shook her head, “No, that’s the problem. Nothing is happening. Rainbow… you know me, right? You know I’m a much more slow-paced, relaxed, tentative kind of mare? You know I like the simple, quiet things? Well, this is not that. I’m bored. We do the same same thing date after date. Sometimes I go over, sometimes he comes over. We sit around the room and do our own tasks. Sometimes we go to dinner. Sometimes we just watch a movie. We don’t even really speak very much. I used to love that, the fact that I didn’t have to be all outgoing and talkative with him. But now I feel like we’re in a rut. No, I feel like we’re in a rut, but in the rut of the rut. If that makes sense…”
“You’d at least think the rutting would be good if it was that stale,” Rainbow said, snickering “Heh… I’m funny…”
She caught Fluttershy’s annoyed, cold glare and composed herself.
“So… what are you gonna do?” she asked, having less experience than Fluttershy when it came to relationships.
“I don’t know,” Fluttershy admitted, shaking her head and placing her arm over her eyes, “Sometimes I just consider breaking up. Other times, I try to bring it up, but if I do, it’s all going to blow in my face.”
“Well… maybe you ponies are in a bit of a rough patch?” Rainbow suggested, “Maybe everything will turn out alright? I’d hate to see you two break up.”
Shrugging a little, Fluttershy lowered her arm, “I really should. They always say that part of a good relationship is to communicate openly and honestly. Maybe… Maybe some time away will help me regain my thoughts a bit. I could probably talk to him about it a little better once we go back home. ”
Rainbow shifted over and put an arm around her, holding her tightly, “Are… are you sure about that, Shy? What if it doesn’t work? What if you two break up for good?”
“Well… I don’t know. I never thought of that… You see, I read once that if you go into a relationship or a marriage and you think a lot about breaking up… Well, then you sit around in fear most of the time, wondering if this is going to be the time they walk out.… That the last argument will have them snap and leave… I never considered it because I didn’t want us to live like that,” Fluttershy confessed, leaning against her.
“I’m sorry, Shy,” Rainbow said softly, kissing her forehead, “I wish I could say something but… I don’t know how to deal with this kind of thing…”
A little blush coated Fluttershy’s cheeks as she smiled, “That’s okay. I think it just helps knowing you’re listening. They say it’s not as bad when you put it into words. I never really talked about it, anyway… Not to anyone else.”
“Yeah,” Rainbow said softly, considering something, “I… I appreciate that you told me, Shy.”
“Well… You told me you were a lesbian, and I shared my relationship problems. We’ve always told each other everything…” Fluttershy smiled, reminiscing, “I feel a lot better…”
Suddenly Rainbow felt her stomach drop with guilt. She hadn’t told Fluttershy everything. And she could tell Fluttershy anything… should she?
“Actually, Shy, there’s something else I never told you,” she said, her heart pounding nervously.
Curious, the pinkette glanced over at her, “What is it, Rainbow?”
Rainbow pulled away from the hug and leaned back against the side of the sofa, “I can tell you anything and you won’t judge me, right?”
“Of course. I mean, I can’t promise I won’t be worried if it’s something I should worry about, but you can still tell me,” Fluttershy assured, placing a hoof on her shoulder.
Rainbow pushed her back and took a deep breath. It was now or never. Revealing her deepest secret had not been something she’d ever done. But if she didn’t do it now, she never would.
Taking the zipper of her shorts in her hoof, she lowered it. Reaching into her loosened shorts, she pulled the front of them down and pulled out her secret. Fluttershy’s eye twitched when she saw it.
A penis. Standing fully erect, out of its sheath, from her shorts.
“I… I have this,” she said, blushing as she looked away from her.
Fluttershy gaped, her eyes growing wide, unable to believe what she was seeing. It couldn’t have been. Rainbow was female, she knew that well enough. It seemed so surreal, so impossible, but she’d heard strange medical discoveries before.
“You’re… a...h-hermaphrodite?” She managed, looking up into her friend’s eyes.
Rainbow shook her head, “I don’t have… I don’t have a pussy, I just have this.”
“Oh…” Fluttershy looked down again, curiously eyeing its length and size, then back up at her, “Gosh, I… I guess this explains why you were never comfortable going swimming together as we got older…”
“Yeah,” Rainbow said, not looking at her but making no effort to put her erection away, “I… I’ve never told anyone about this before.”
Standing up, Fluttershy crossed over and gave her a hug, barely realizing she was sandwiching the shaft between them, “I’m sorry… But I’m glad you told me. You’re my best best friend and I love you, I’m always going to be your friend. And no piece of genetalia will change that.”
Rainbow shuddered and tried to push Fluttershy off her, “Shy… you have to get off…”
“Why? Am I-oh! Sorry…” Fluttershy pulled away, “Did that hurt you? I-I know that bending them a certain way can be painful.”
“No, it didn’t hurt,” Rainbow breathed, “It’s just… if you didn’t get off… I was going to.”
Blushing immensely, Fluttershy realized the situation at hand yet again and nodded, “Right… I’m sorry… I must be a giant tease to you tonight, aren’t I…”
“I don’t mind…” Rainbow said, blushing again, “It’s just… you have a coltfriend. That’s why I didn’t tell you about… me thinking that you were hot. Because I didn’t want to step across some line.”
“So, if I didn’t have a coltfriend…?”
“I’d probably be asking you to come to bed with me,” Rainbow laughed, settling back against the cushions.
Laughing a bit herself, Fluttershy felt herself blush all the more, looking over at her companion, “You really… don’t just think I’m attractive…? You… you want me?”
Rainbow hesitated. While she wasn’t concerned about ruining their friendship, she was concerned about making her uncomfortable, “Well… I don’t know, Shy. I know I think you’re really hot, and I love you. But… I’m not sure if I’m in love with you. You’re my best friend, I think you’re gorgeous, and… yeah I really want to have sex with you but… I don’t know if it goes farther than that…”
“I see…” Fluttershy looked down at her hands, blushing more. “Well, that makes sense… Sometimes we do tend to feel more attracted to someone even if we’re not in love, and vice-versa… I… well, I never thought of you that way before… Um, but… Now that we’re… talking about it… I feel… I feel really strange… But in a… good way… I don’t understand it…”
Rainbow’s hoof twitched, as she moved it toward her length but stopped as she remembered where she was, “Flustered? Flattered? Flushed? Something else that starts with FL?”
“Flabbergasted,” Fluttershy threw in with a giggle, but nodded, “Yes, all those things. I feel… I mean, I like hearing you tell me these things… I like thinking about it…” She turned her head to face Rainbow then, feeling a shiver run up her spine. “I’ve never… felt this way before. I mean, maybe it’s because we’re so close… I don’t know, I just… I know I like it. A-A lot more than I think I should…”
Rainbow looked over to the cards on the table, zipping her shorts back up, “You… you wanna play?” She asked nervously, her tone indicating exactly what she meant.
“...Play what?” Fluttershy asked, squeezing her back legs together.
“S...s-strip poker?” Rainbow asked, blushing as a cute smile came across her face.
Any logical train of thought would have had her saying no almost immediately. This was not one of those times.
“Yes,” Fluttershy half whispered, a bit more eagerly than expected.
Rainbow circled the table and sat down in her previous seat, taking a sip of the now cold chocolate, “Okay… go ahead and d-deal.”
Nodding shakily, Fluttershy returned to her seat as well, taking the cards. Nervous, yet excited, she dealt out the cards swiftly. Taking a deep breath, she looked at her hand, seeing it to be a good one; three of a kind with three Queens.
Rainbow looked at her own hand, three of a kind with three Jacks and a single Ace. Throwing her fifth card down, she asked for one. The exchange was a King. No change. Throwing a few poker chips into the center, she gulped, “I’m in.”
Making an exchange of two cards, Fluttershy now had three Queens, a King and a seven. She placed a couple of chips in too, “So am I.”
Rainbow laid her cards down, “Three of a kind. Jacks.”
“Three of a kind, Queens,” Fluttershy lay her cards down too.
Rainbow blushed as she sat back, “Alright… you get to pick something for me to take off…”
Biting her lip, Fluttershy considered the options, shaking a bit. Already her curiosity was getting the better of her, but she didn’t want to push it either. Taking a breath, she decided to start slow. “Your… Your socks… f-for now…”
Rainbow reached down and pulled her socks off of her feet, freeing her warm hooves from their prison, “Alright… deal again?”
“Yes,” Fluttershy shuffled the cards, rapidly this time, and dealt them.
Rainbow looked at her hand. A flush. Her heart leapt into her throat as she put a few chips into the center, “I’m in.”
Looking over her cards, Fluttershy could see she had a lousy hand, even with the exchange. Two pairs, one of Jacks, the other fours. She placed a chip into the pile, “I’m in. Two pairs.”
“Flush,” Rainbow said, laying her hand down.
Bushing a bit, Fluttershy wrung her hooves, “Okay… you can pick what I take off, now…”
Looking under the table, Rainbow could see that Fluttershy was already barehoof, and she’d taken off her sweater in the last game. There was only one logical conclusion, “Your jeans,” she said, her heart pounding.
“Okay…”
Getting up, Fluttershy undid the button, then the zipper of her jeans, before slowly pulling them down. They fell to the floor, pooling around her hooves, then she stepped out of them. Her underpants were green, with pink lace and a little bow near the waistline. She blushed, feeling a bit odd at being so this exposed, though it was definitely thrilling.
“Mmm… you deal this time, Dashie,” Fluttershy smiled.
Rainbow took the deck into her shaking hooves, trying to shuffle the cards without dropping them. After three or four attempts, she got a hoof out to each of them, looking at her hand quickly and hiding her blush. Full House.
Seeing her hand was lousy, Fluttershy made an exchange, ending up with three eights. Looking over at her friend, Rainbow’s expression (what little she could see) was unreadable, a perfect poker face. She smiled, then slid a chip to the middle of the table.
“I’m in,” she said.
Rainbow tossed a chip onto the table and lowering her hoof, “So am I, Full House.”
“Three eights,” Fluttershy lowered her hoof too.
Rainbow blushed and pointed to Fluttershy’s chest, “Your shirt…”
Blushing quite a bit herself, Fluttershy gently grasped the hem of her shirt, then lifted it off. She was now left in a yellow bra and her underpants. It was a bit cooler in the room now, but it didn’t bother too much, and was all too aware of her friend’s wandering eyes. Fluttershy almost felt the compulsion to cross her forelegs along her chest and torso for decency, not exactly used to being half naked like this with someone else. Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. There was something strangely liberating about this.
She smiled, then took the cards and shuffled them, dealing out their next hand.
Rainbow looked at her new set of cards. Three nines. Throwing her two extra cards onto the table, she gestured for two, to which she got a King and a Jack. Not much better, “I’m in.”
Hiding her smile with her cards, Fluttershy threw in three poker chips, “I’m in, too.”
She lay down her cards, revealing it to be a straight, in diamonds, no less. Rainbow gawked at Shy’s cards, and laid her own down, “I guess you win this one.”
“Hee,” Fluttershy gathered the cards, “...Your shirt, too.”
Rainbow gripped the bottom of her shirt and pulled it over her head, throwing it aside to reveal her sports bra underneath. Her breathing was quick as she realized how close she was to being naked in front of her friend… and how close her friend was to being naked in front of her. She grabbed the deck and dealt the cards again, her shaking hands picking up her new hand to see another Flush.
Fluttershy looked over her cards, seeing four of a kind, before she looked over Rainbow’s half naked form. A little smile curled at her lips as she observed, the shadows of the fireplace’s flames dancing along her tan olive skin only further accentuated her unique attractiveness. It was occurring to her that they were just barely going to be completely stripped in front of each other. Confusion and questions ran through her mind, but she pushed them aside for now. Maybe a little curious fun wouldn’t hurt.
“I’m in,” she said, placing her cards down, “Four Queens.”
Rainbow was slack-jawed again. Where did this talent for getting really good hands come from? She begrudgingly laid her own hand down, “Ya got me, Shy.”
The blush returned to Fluttershy’s cheeks, “...Your bra.”
Rainbow gulped as she reached along the hem of her sports bra, then lifted it up from the back. Holding it flat against her chest, the hesitated before lowering it, and exposing her top half to Fluttershy as she set it on the floor.
“Oooh…” Fluttershy murmured, smiling. It wasn’t hard to tell that Rainbow was less endowed than she herself was, but her breasts were certainly rounded and perky. Surprisingly her nipples were also a bit of a lighter shade of pink, almost similar to her own.
Strangely, she wanted to reach out and touch them. Often a mare’s breasts, naked or not, never did much for her. But seeing Rainbow’s topless upper torso, Fluttershy was finding it increasingly had to keep her hands to herself.
“Just… just deal,” Rainbow said, averting her gaze from Fluttershy as she strained uncomfortably against her shorts.
“You’re cute…” Fluttershy giggled, obliging with her request.
Rainbow quickly snatched up her cards, this time seeing a Straight Flush. ‘YES!’ Nothing ever beat a Straight Flush! She threw a few chips onto the table, “I am so in!”
“Okey-dokey,” Fluttershy laughed at her enthusiasm. Whatever her hand was, it sounded good. She threw in two chips, “I’m in, too.”
“Straight Flush, Shy,” Rainbow said, smiling as she laid her hand down.
Wide-eyed, Fluttershy lay her hand down, “...Wow. That’s really good… All I have is a Full House. Oh… you got me…”
“Take off your bra, Shy,” Rainbow smiled at having made such a decisive win, some of her nervousness abated.
Blushing all over again, Fluttershy nodded slowly as she reached behind her to unclasp her bra. Sliding the straps down her arms, Fluttershy nervously held the cups against her chest, hesitating. Taking a deep breath, she let the bra fall and placed it on the floor next to her chair.
Rainbow could feel her mouth watering as she gazed at Fluttershy’s breasts. Fluttershy had always been the most well endowed of the six- possibly with the exception of Pinkie, an ironic thing considering her aversion to attention. It always seemed like Mother Nature was screwing with her. But nevertheless Rainbow couldn’t take her eyes off her.
The generous mammary mounds of Fluttershy’s were as light as the rest of her skin, with candy-pink nipples at the tips. Many believed them to be perky, but they were a lot more droopy than expected, but still fit her body well. Given that she was thin, with a slice of generous feminine curves, it was almost surprising.
Fluttershy meanwhile had her cheeks deepen to red as she wrung her hooves nervously. Her best friend, who was attracted to her, was now seeing her all the more half naked. Even without looking, she knew where Rainbow’s eyes were practically lasering holes into. She gulped a bit, still wondering what this would lead to.
“Um… y-you… you deal…” She managed.
Rainbow picked up the deck and started shuffling, but stopped. She looked Fluttershy over, and then herself. She wasn’t wearing any panties, just her shorts, and that was all Shy had on as well. She set the deck back on the table and looked at her, “You wanna just take them off?” she asked, hoofing the band of her shorts.
“O-Okay…”
Glancing away, Fluttershy stood up, nervously grasped the waistline of her panties, and slid them down her legs. Once they were off, she placed them on top of the pile that was her clothes, standing as bravely as she could in her best friend’s view. Rainbow blushed a deep red, Fluttershy was gorgeous. Granted she’d always known that, but seeing her completely nude was something marvelous in and of itself.
Standing up, Rainbow unzipped her shorts, a little less nervous given that she’d already shown Fluttershy herself, and slid them down her legs, stepping out of them and kicking them aside, her length standing straight up from her.
Although having seen it earlier, Fluttershy couldn’t help but take a moment to properly observe it. It was still quite astounding that a complete female could actually bear male genetalia, but who was she to question the biology of it? Of course Rainbow was far smaller than Big Mac, both in length and width, but she certainly was quite endowed in that area. Strangely, it almost seemed to go nicely with her body, like it wasn’t out of place at all.
Looking back up into Rainbow’s eyes, Fluttershy could barely manage to ask, “... What… What now?”
“I don’t know…” Rainbow said, standing there awkwardly, “What… what do you want to do?”
“I don’t know, either…” Fluttershy admitted, unable to keep her eyes from wandering her friend’s body, “Oh, Rainbow… I’m so confused…”
Rainbow’s hand twitched again, once again suppressing the urge to touch herself, “C-Cconfused about what?” she asked.
“All of this… I… I never felt this way around another mare before, much less one of my friends,” Fluttershy confessed, looking at her with mild distress, “I-I don’t know what I should do. I’m… I’m… I’m attracted to you, more than I think I should be… I don’t know why, you’re just… looking at you now, I… If you took me to bed with you, I wouldn’t stop you… And I don’t know why. I just… oh goodness, what do I do? I’m confused! I’ve never been confused! I always liked men, I was attracted to Mac… but now I’m confused.”
“Fluttershy… do you want me?” Rainbow asked, shaking nervously.
The question was so final, but it was all she could go on. Fluttershy looked all around the room, then at her friend, the uncomfortable but undeniable tingles of her pleasure running through her. As confused as she felt, all she knew was that she wanted this more than ever expected. Taking a few deep breaths, meeting Rainbow’s eyes, she nodded.
“...Yes. I do.”
Rainbow stepped over the table and grabbed Fluttershy by the back of the neck, violently capturing her lips in her own as she pushed her back onto the couch, straddling over her as she bit down on her lip, rubbing her shoulders.
While taken aback by the sudden attack, Fluttershy found herself liking the immense boldness of her friend’s actions. She kissed her back fiercely, taking hold of the athletic woman’s hips and holding her closer. The immense thrills and tingles of ecstasy ran through her body, to which Fluttershy let out a groan between kisses.
Rainbow rocked herself in Shy’s lap, pushing her lips apart with her tongue to explore her mouth as she caressed the back of her neck. Groaning along with her, her breathing came rapidly from her muzzle as she tried to both suppress her racing heart and take full advantage of both their hazy minds.
As their tongues met in a heated battle of Frenching, it barely occurred to Fluttershy that she was getting far more intimate with her best friend than she should have been. Let alone with another mare. Then again, it felt so good, something she didn’t want to stop, not for a second. It was a thrill she’d been seeking for some time, something to relief the stagnation and boredom she’d been feeling in the intimacy department.
Fluttershy moaned loudly at the back of her throat, fisting her hooves into Rainbow’s mane now, holding their mouths closer than ever. She didn’t want this to stop, she wanted more of it, more of the immense wonders of sharing this together. Apparently Rainbow felt the same judging by the way she pulled her back so that Shy was on top and hook her legs around hers as she pulled her closer to her mouth by her mare.
Pulling back from her friend’s lips a moment, Fluttershy gazed down with wonder at Rainbow’s panting form, while her own breathing was laboured still. She lay their foreheads together, closing her eyes for a moment to try processing this.
“Rainbow… Is… Is this happening?” She whispered between pants.
“If you want it to happen,” she breathed, her chest heaving for air.
“...I do…” Fluttershy murmured, nuzzling noses with her, managing to smile, “I really like the way you kiss…”
“Do you… want to go… further?” Rainbow asked, kissing her neck as her heart leapt into her throat.
Little moans escaped Fluttershy from the tender gesture, her skin tingling where Rainbow’s lips touched. She smiled, stroking her friend’s mane gently, “H-How… How much further?”
“All… all the way,” Rainbow said, stroking Fluttershy’s cheek as she groaned from her straddling her lap..
“I…” Fluttershy felt uncertain at that moment. While every bit of her body was more than willing to go all the way, she slowly came to realize what was going on.
‘No, we can’t do this… Not like this… Not now.. I-I can’t… I want to, but I shouldn’t…...’ Fluttershy thought, shaking her head.
“I want to… but we shouldn’t… this is all happening too fast…” Fluttershy murmured regretfully, “Maybe we should… we should stop for now…”
Rainbow pulled away from her, taking a few deep breaths, “Maybe you’re right. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to just attack you like that.”
“...I’m not,” Fluttershy admitted, managing to face her again, “I… I shouldn’t have, I really shouldn’t have… but I can’t lie about it… I… I can’t deny that it was… well, as you would put it… awesome.”
“Should we… should we put our clothes back on?” Rainbow asked.
Opening her mouth, Fluttershy shut it almost immediately. She shook her head, wringing her hooves a bit, “No… I… I wanted to… to…” Her voice trailed off into mumbles.
“Wanted to what?” Rainbow asked, hugging her.
Gathering her words, Fluttershy blushed, returning the hug and nuzzling into her neck, “I feel… a strange impulse to… lie down in bed with you, naked… I don’t know why, but I want to. Not to do anything, just...lie there and hold each other…”
“So… you want to cuddle?” Rainbow asked.
Flutteershy nodded, “Yes… I do…”
Rainbow blushed, “That sounds… wonderful. Let’s go.”
Getting up from the couch, they held hands and headed upstairs to the bedrooms. More specifically, the master bedroom that Fluttershy had been using. They climbed into bed, pulling back the covers and sheets, before settling in.
Fluttershy almost immediately cuddled against Rainbow, finding a strangely wonderful sense of peace as their bare bodies came together in this way. She nuzzled against her neck and shoulder junction, closing her eyes in bliss as she held closer to the other woman. Letting out a soft little contented sigh, Fluttershy gently kissed the skin, taking in the natural scent of her friend. Rainbow kissed her forehead as she settled in against the pillow, snuggling her best friend.
“Goodnight, Shy,” she said, running her hooves through Fluttershy’s soft mane.
“Goodnight, Dashie…” Fluttershy whispered, smiling all the more as she relaxed in their warm embrace.
‘Aw, look at the little cheating bitch. You almost make breaking someone’s heart look cute, Flutters.’
