A Close Secret

Timid Nature

Amber was trotting along to one of her best friend’s house, Fluttershy, to have a day to themselves. Their day consisted of a small brunch, then for a walk in the park, and eventually, a small, sweet treat at Sugarcube Corner. However, Amber was also on her way to open up to her about a very well kept secret that nopony knew about. She was excited, but also very scared about what the consequences could be. Her trotting was quickly slowing down into a near creep in front of Fluttershy’s grove. Turning into her porch, and she was at a standstill; her mind running through with so many scenarios that could go right, or wrong. She gulped, and took the final steps towards the door, preparing herself mentally for the question later on.

She tapped on the door, waiting for a couple of seconds before Fluttershy opened the door. She greeted her with a warm smile. Her voice kept the same timid tone, despite how happy she was to see her, “Hi, Amber!”

“Hiya, Fluttershy! How are you doing today?”

“Oh, I’m doing swell, thank you. I hope the day’s treating you well, too?”

“As dandy as the sun!”

“Great! Please, come in. I just finished making us a snack.”

Amber stepped into her home. This was her first time in her home, so she took the time to admire some of the smaller details. It was a bit hard for her to move about in her house, considering a lot of the stuff around her was so neat, and well kempt, and she didn’t want to mess anything up. She slowly walked over to her couch, and sat down. Fluttershy left to go to the kitchen to grab the snack she mentioned.

As Amber sat here, she kept thinking when, and how she’d pop the question to her friend. She could come straight out with it, or she can wait until it’s a relevant topic for her to bring it up. She was going to go with the former, and would wait until she’d come back from the kitchen.

Fluttershy came back with a tray on her back. Amber noticed her slight struggle with keeping the tray balanced, and immediately helped her. Her horn began to glow, and the tray was suddenly surrounded by magic as it lifted off of her back, and onto the table. Fluttershy took her seat next to her, “Thank you, Amber. This is flavoured hay. I don’t know what it tastes like, but the lovely pony told me it’s really good”.

Amber took a nibble from the small pile in front. A flavourful burst of berries exploded from the first bite, and a hint of mint rose from the back of her throat. Her eyes widened with satisfaction, “Golly, Fluttershy, this is really good!”

She took the same sized bite as Amber, “Oh my, this is nice! If we have this, we don’t have to stop by Sugarcube Corner later on. Anyways, what’s new in your world?”

Amber’s heart began to race. This was it. She could risk off putting the question, but lose the chance to ask again if they get caught up in conversation, or she could ask now... She was going to ask; she had to. She turned towards the yellow pegasus, “Well, uhm… I wanted to tell you something-- open up, actually, about a really close secret of mine…”

Fluttershy sat closer, “Oh, anything, Amber. What is it? Anything you tell me won’t leave my lips.”

She looked down, thinking to herself, “There’s no turning back now… I have to ask…
She looked back up, beginning to blush, “I, erm… I… I like… hooves…”

Her voice trailed off, but Fluttershy still understood what she said, “H-Hooves?” There was confusion in her voice.

Amber nodded slowly, “Y-Yes. I’ve… I’ve had this dream where I could, uhm… I could smell them-- lick them.”

“How did you get to that point?”

“Well, one day, Rainbow Dash and I were hanging out, and I remember she got really… antsy when I had touched her hoof. I’ll be completely honest, when she pulled it away, I couldn’t help but notice a new kind of sheen to it. It was like a forbidden fruit that I couldn’t have, but I wanted it.”

Fluttershy looked to the side, “Rainbow Dash is touchy about her hooves…”

“Which brings me to what I was going to ask you… Fluttershy, could I… Could I do that with you?”

She looked up with widened eyes, “Do w-what?”

“Could I live my dream with… you?”

She started to blush. She was trying to word out a sentence-- a word at least, but the only thing that came out was panicked stuttering, and incoherent syllables, “U-Uhm… I-I-I… Mm…”

Amber felt like she wasn’t welcome anymore. She didn’t know whether or not Fluttershy was going to ask her to leave, but she was definitely close to getting up and doing a full gallop out of her house. Then, Fluttershy looked into her eyes. The amount of nervous embarrassment in her face was overwhelming her, but her head slowly moved up and down. Then, it was like everything stopped. Any sounds of chaos/panic ceased; her heartbeat was numb in her chest, her ears were ringing, and both of them had nothing to say. It was just the two of them looking at each other with red faces. It was a solid minute before anypony said anything.

Finally, Fluttershy broke the silence, “... How would you want to… do this…?”

Amber let out a quivering sigh, “Uhm… G-Give me your hoof…”

Fluttershy slowly pointed her hoof at Amber. She softly grasped it with her hooves. Holding her hooves in her own made her heartbeat noticeable, again. She’d only ever seen hooves from afar, and never saw one this close before. The soft contours of her hoof, and the glowing aura that was radiating only made her more excited. Then, she noticed something within her hoof-- a crease. She carefully leaned in, steadying her hoof. Her head drew closer to the bright yellow hoof, coming closer to this crease. Suddenly, her nose pressed against the soft, marshmallow-like skin, and she inhaled. She was expecting something entirely different, but instead was met with the smell of sugar-- almost a candy-like smell. Behind that smell was a subtle hint of fresh apples. Amber reclaimed herself, backing off and noticing Fluttershy’s shut eyes, and puckering mouth.

Amber opened her mouth, and slowly slipped Fluttershy’s hoof into her mouth. The same taste was spreading through all corners of her mouth as she absentmindedly nibbled, and indulged on the tip of Fluttershy’s soft hoof. With her hoof still partially in her mouth, her tongue found its way to that crease she saw initially. She pressed her tongue against it, feeling a soft, almost velvety feeling rub against her tongue. At this point, her tongue had a mind of its own. Once she licked the inner parts of her hoof, it began to run along the upper lengths of her arm, even slightly leading up under her arm. She stopped, realizing where she was. She looked up and saw Fluttershy’s eyes still closed, and slightly whimpering. She put her hoof down. Right then, Amber saw something in her friend. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was, but something inside her sparked. She slowly drew closer to her friend, who was nearly shaking from ecstasy, or perhaps from a newfound thrill she’d never experienced before. Amber’s hooves gently cupped around Fluttershy’s waist. Her whimpering calmed down, and her eyes slowly opened. In front of her was a lusty-eyed pony, giving her a look she’d never seen until now. Confused, she turned her head towards her. She opened her mouth to speak, but the white pony began to lean into her, mouth opening, and eyes closing. It wasn’t long until their mouths touched. There was a sense of thrill that was felt inside both of them. With no control, Amber’s lips wrapped around Fluttershy’s, and her tongue gently slid into her mouth. Fluttershy, taken aback, was apprehensive at first, but her body language soon relaxed, and started to contribute to the action. Soon enough, both of them were on the floor, cuddling each other, almost fondling, while their lips were interlocked for minutes at a time.

Amber suddenly snapped back to it, “Oh my Celestia, I’m so sorry, Fluttershy!”

Fluttershy was covering her face with both of her hooves. At first, Amber thought it might have been out of embarrassment, but Fluttershy was merely flustered. From the looks of her body language, she actually liked what had just happened, “Gosh, Amber… I didn’t think you had liked me that much…”

“I-I don’t know what came over me. I just… You, and, the hoof, and--”

“Amber, it’s okay,” Fluttershy reassured her friend, “There’s a minor issue, though; my other hoof feels left out… I would hope there’d be a way to fix it…”

Amber’s worried expression faded into a smile, “Thank you, Fluttershy. I think our day might have gone from a good one, to the best one”.


Author's Note

First, I want to thank you for reading my story n.n

I kind of want to continue this with the rest of the Mane 6, but I don't know how many people would react to it (and so far, it seems like it's going quite nicely), but I might wait off until I get an 'official' word for it :twilightsmile:
