Adagio wants to try something different in bed, which is not a concept new to her and Sunset's relationship. What is new however, is how uncharacteristically shy she’s being about it.

"I'm sorry, what?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

She didn’t know how it had started. Actually, scratch that, she knew exactly how it had started.

She’d fallen in love.

In love with Adagio Dazzle.

In love with the evil siren who’d been banished here from Equestria, and then tried to take over this world not even year prior. The same evil siren she was currently waiting to join her in bed.

Sunset and Adagio had started seeing each other a few months ago, and since then their love had blossomed. What had started as Sunset trying to help Adagio and her sisters readjust to life after their defeat had quickly grown uncontrollably into something more. Sunset first noticed her feelings towards the siren only a few weeks into helping her, and then plucked up the courage to finally tell her about them a month later. Her feelings had been returned and… well, they’d been happily together ever since.

Now Sunset’s small flat was homed to the both of them and Adagio’s younger sisters, Aria and Sonata. They shared one room, while Aria and Sonata shared bunk beds in the other. The two sirens hadn’t initially been sold on the idea of their older sister dating the girl responsible for their defeat, but after a stern talking to by Adagio they had eventually warmed up to it. At present time, Sunset had still neglected to inform her friends of her current relationship status, and truth be told she didn’t plan on doing any time soon. It hurt her to keep such a big part of her life a secret from them, but she knew they wouldn’t understand.

They’d find out one day, and when that day came Sunset and Adagio would face it head on and together. But until then, they were enjoying as much time together as they could.

“Adagio? You okay?” Sunset asked, giving her lover a smile.

Adagio had just entered the bedroom wearing her usual over-sexualized night gown. But her attitude wasn’t correlating with the suggestive clothing she was wearing, instead Adagio had come straight in and sat on Sunset’s side of the bed, arms crossed and staring into space.

The siren swallowed and nodded, lifting her head enough for their eyes to lock together, “I want to try something… new in bed, Sunset.”

Sunset’s cheeks instantly blushed.

Adagio was very straight-forward when it came to the bedroom, heck being seductive was practically her lifestyle. She’d gotten that absorbed in the role of seducing from her time as a siren (sirening?) it had leaked into her actual personality. In the months they’d been together Adagio had held back nothing when it came to talking about the bedroom, much to Sunset’s embarrassment. Even now she’d gotten used to it, she couldn’t help but shy away from Adagio’s gaze.

“W-what did you have in mind?” Sunset asked, trying to hide her blush.

Adagio’s mouth spread out into a predatory grin "well... how long can you hold your breath?”

“I..I er, I don’t know,” Sunset said quietly.

Then something faltered. Adagio held her expression for a moment longer, before letting it drop away into a disappointed sigh. She hung her head and turned away from Sunset.

“Ugh… nevermind, I can’t do this.” She said to herself.

This instantly peeked Sunset’s interested.

“Do what?” She asked.

“This,” Adagio gestured around them "just, forget about. Let’s go to sleep.”

Adagio got up from her position, walked around to her own side of the bed, pulled back her covers and got in. She lay down, facing away from Sunset and messing with her pillow. Sunset remained in the same spot, confused by what had just happened.

Adagio was always the more outgoing of the two. She’d reduced Sunset to a cowering wreck a number of times with nothing but words. Just hearing sex talked about the way Adagio did made Sunset retreat back into her own shell of embarrassment. That’s not to say Sunset didn’t actually enjoy… doing… it… butthepointbeing, Adagio normally held nothing back. By now Sunset was convinced the girl had no shame, so what was stopping her now?

“No, go on,” Sunset turned to her, “what were you going to say?”

Adagio mumbled something inaudible into her pillow.

“I’m sorry, what?” Sunset edged closed to her.

Adagio shuffled over a bit and freed her face from the pillow (not that Sunset could actually tell, all she could see from her point was a large yellow mound of hair in bed next to her.)

“I said it doesn’t matter.”

“Adagio,” Sunset laughed, “what were you going to say?”

“Nothing.”

“Adagio!” Sunset laughed again, nudging her in the rear with her leg.

“No. You’ll think badly of me.”

Now she was really interested. What could possibly be so bad that Adagio Dazzle, ingenious mastermind and seducer of nations would shy away from?

Sunset was almost frightened to find out.

“Pleaasseeeee,” Sunset whined, "you can’t not tell me now.”

Adagio rolled over onto her back. She stared up at the ceiling, not facing her.

“No. Please just forget I said anything.”

“No chance,” Sunset giggled, "tell me what you were going to say.”

Adagio shook her head, "no, I don’t even want to do it anymore.”

“Well then there’s no harm in telling me, silly.”

“I’m not telling you Sunny.”

Sunset smiled at the use of her nickname. “Well then, at least tell me why you won’t tell me.”

Adagio was silent, as if she was considering this over in her head. Finally she rolled her eyes and gave a sigh.

“It’s embarrassing.”

This time Sunset gave a full on laugh, “I’ve never seen you be embarrassed about anything.”

“So you can see why I don’t want to talk about it!” Adagio defended.

Sunset placed her hand on Adagio’s knee and gave it a squeeze.

“Adagio you’re the most out-going, over-confident ego-centric person I’ve ever met, no offence.”

“None taken.”

“If it’s something that makes you embarrassed, then I’m a bit frightened for my own safety what it could be,” Sunset laughed.

Adagio shook her head lightly.

“It’s nothing that bad.”

Sunset rolled to her side, resting her head on her girlfriends shoulder, "then tell meeee.”

Adagio was silent for another minute, still staring up at the ceiling.

“It’s… I wanted to… ugh, no.”

Adagio rolled over, facing away from Sunset.

“Adagio!” Sunset laughed again. “Come oonnnn. I’m not going to let it go until you tell me.”

Adagio gave another inaudible mumble, her face obscured again by her pillow.

“We’ll stay here all night if we have to,” Sunset whispered into her ear.

Another mumble.

“You said you didn’t want to do it anymore, so there’s nothing wrong with telling me is there?”

Adagio nodded.

“Well you said it wasn’t that bad, so I’m sure whatever it is you’re making it out to be worse than it is. Heck, we’ve probably done worse.”

Another mumble.

“Okay, how’s this: If you tell me what it is, I’ll do it. Straight away and no questions asked.”

That got her attention. Adagio rolled over again, their faces now inches apart.

“You mean that?”

The predatory look on her face now made Sunset wish she hadn’t.

“Y-yeah. Whatever it is, just tell me.”

Adagio nodded and sat up. She leaned back against the pillow, causing Sunset to move in, wrapping her arm around her waistline and snuggling into her side. Adagio placed her hand on Sunset’s back and began playing with her hair. It was an adorable sight for a situation that should certainly not be happening.

“I don’t know… It might… change things.”

Sunset frowned. “Change things how?”

“Between us. How we get on,” Adagio said, focusing her attention on Sunset’s bacon colored hair.

Sunset gave a giggle.

“Oh come on, I doubt that.”

Adagio shrugged.

“You already said it wasn’t anything too bad, right?”

Adagio nodded, "it’s nothing worse than anything we’re already done it’s just… it’s different.”

“Different how?”

“Different like… we’d… it’d be… ugh, Sunny please can we drop it?”

“No! I told you we’re not going to sleep until you tell me.”

Adagio chuckled, "you can stay up, but I’m not.”

“I won’t let you go sleep then,” Sunset smiled.

Adagio’s eyes narrowed, and her gaze met her girlfriends.

“How?”

Sunset gave another smile.

“ARIA! SONATA!”

“BE QUIET YOU IDIOT!” Adagio said in a harsh whisper.

“SONATA! ARIA!”

“SUNNY PLEASE DON’T MAKE THEM COME IN HERE.”

“IF YOU DON’T TELL ME I’M GONNA TELL THEM YOU’RE BEING SHY ABOUT SOMETHING! ARIA! SONATA!”

“FINE FINE I’LL TELL YOU!”

“Promise?” Sunset held out her pinkie.

Adagio rolled her eyes and took the pinkie in her own.

“Promise.”

Sunset smiled warmly, nuzzling herself deeper in Adagio’s tummy, "you were saying?”

Adagio shook her head, “I thought I was the evil one here.”

Sunset shrugged.

“Guess we’ve both learnt a lot from each other.”

Adagio thought for a second before nodding, “I could live with that.”

This caused Sunset to give another giggle, before she poked Adagio in the leg.

“Now come on, tell me.”

Adagio sighed, pulling her hand away from Sunset’s hair.

“I’m just… I’m worried you won’t look at me the same way again after.”

That really confused Sunset.

What the heck was it Adagio wanted to do!?

Sunset wasn't even religious, yet Adagio was the kind of girl she'd feel guilty taking into a church. Adagio never expressed doubt in herself over anything, much less something she knew she was good at. For her to be getting so shy about something like this… It made Sunset a little worried about what was going on in her girlfriends head.

“You don’t mean like… it’s nothing illegal is it? Because I’m not-“

“No! No!” She shook her head. “Nothing like that… Its fine, I’m sure a lot of people do it it’s just… It’d be really weird for us to do it.”

“What do you mean?”

Adagio didn’t respond.

“Because… what, we’re both girls?” Sunset offered.

She shook her head, "noooo, it's not like that.”

“Then tell me what it is like,” Sunset pleaded. “You might as well just come out with it Adagio.”

Adagio put her hands in her lap, playing with her fingers.

“And you promise we’ll do it?”

“I mean… if you say it’s nothing illegal and loads of people do it, then yes. But we have to stop if I don’t like it.”

“That’s fair. And… you won’t ask me why I want to do it?”

“Yep.”

Adagio nodded and took a breath.

“Okay… it’s…”

Sunset hung on her words

“Well, it’s…”

Yes.

“I want to….”

Yeessss.

“I… I wanna be…”

Go on…

“Ugh, I can’t do this,” Adagio turned away from her.

“OH COME ON!” Sunset groaned in annoyance, sitting up. “Adagio, you pinkie promised!”

“I know I pinkie promised but just… No! You’ll think I’m a werido,” Adagio waved her off, not turning around.

“I won’t I promise!” Sunset defended. “What did you say earlier? You asked me how long I can hold my breath for?”

“Oh don’t try and figure it out, that’s idiotic.”

“Is it to do with pillows then?”

“What? No!”

“Choking?”

“No! We already agreed, never again.”

“Okay… so underwater then? Is that it, you want to do stuff in the tub? The shower?”

“Oh please that would make a massive mess... and I’m not cleaning it up, or telling Aria or Sonata why they have to.”

“If it’s not those, then what!? If you’re not going to tell me, at least give me a clue!”

Adagio didn’t budge from her position, but did fall silent.

“If I give you a clue will you promise to drop it?”

“Probably not but maybe.”

“Sunset!”

“Fine! Give me a clue, a good clue, and I’ll drop it.”

Adagio fiddled around with her hair on her side. She mumbled something.

“What was that?” Sunset asked.

“I said… it’s something you’d be doing to me.”

Oh, how the plot thickens.

Something Sunset would be doing to Adagio….

That could be any number of things. It didn’t really narrow it down that much. But it did cross a lot of possibilities off the list. Sunset thought carefully.

“Does it involve costumes?”

“You said you’d drop it!”

“Heeyyy I’m just following up on the clue you gave me!”

“Well I’m going to sleep. Goodnight Sunset,” Adagio huffed.

Sunset smirked.

“So was it fancy dress or latex costumes?”

“It’s nothing to do with costumes!” Adagio snapped.

“So roleplay, then?”

“Goodnight, Sunset.”

“Goodnight Mommy.”

“Sunset.”

“Or is it teacher, instead?”

“Sunset Shimmer I know how to hide a body.”

“Don’t get mad at me senpai!”

“Fine! Fine fine fine!” Adagio threw her hands up in frustration. “I’ll tell you.”

Sunset pushed her face up close to her girlfriends and gave a smile.

“Go on.”

Adagio blushed and looked away.

“Iwannabethelittlespoon.”

“What was that?”

“I… wanna be… thelittlespoon.”

“Say again?”

“I wanna be the little spoon, alright!?”

Sunset’s eyes grew wide.

She cracked a smile, opened her mouth to speak but was beat to it.

“I’m always the big spoon, I don’t know whether it’s because I’m just the dominate one in my relationships or if people find it difficult to breath because of my hair -I don’t know but I never ever get to be the little spoon and I’m sick of not knowing what it’s like! I’m always the giver, never the receiver a-and that’s not a life anybody should have to live! I know I’m the big bad siren who destroys lives but I’m sensitive on the inside and I d-deserve to be spooned just as much as anyone else does. I wanna feel loved, I wanna be the litt-“

Adagio’s words were cut short by Sunset wrapping her arm around her waistline and pulling herself into her. Sunset placed her head on the pillow slightly above Adagios and pulled her legs up, tucking them neatly behind Adagio’s. Adagio tensed up at this sudden contact, but then relaxed, letting her body relax and fill the shape Sunset had created for them. She smiled.

“Better?” Sunset purred.

“Mmmmyes,” Adagio whispered.

Sunset smiled.

She nuzzled her head into her yellow fuzzy hair and… okay, now she could see why people didn’t spoon Adagio. Sunset’s entire upper half had been swallowed by yellow frizzy hair. She frowned, and craned her neck around so it was facing the ceiling. It left only a small amount of her face exposed, but it was enough to get in the air she needed to survive.

Adagio let out a pleased moan and snuggled her head deeper into her pillow. She backed her rump up into Sunset’s lap, causing the bacon haired girl to blush.

“Thank you Sunny,” Adagio whispered.

Sunset smiled. She closed her eyes and snuggled into her girlfriend.

“It’s okay. Now we can go to sleep,” Sunset smirked.

It made her heart melt how adorable Adagio was being right now. And it made sense as well.

Adagio was a very dominating person, and in every sense of the word. She was the man of their relationship; she was always the plan maker and Sunset's emotional rock. She had her wrapped around her little finger and they both knew it. Adagio was unstoppable, she never backed down or showed her full hand, she was the master manipulator trope at it's finest. But never once did she abuse the power she had over Sunset. Instead Adagio treated her like Princess, like she was the most precious thing on the entire earth to her. Heck, the only other thing Sunset had seen Adagio love as much as her was her own reflection. And that was saying something.

Since their first night together Sunset had never grown tired of the safety she felt being wrapped in Adagios arms. So it made sense that every once and a while Adagio might fancy being on the receiving end of some loving in return.

This was a new side of Adagio that Sunset hadn't seen before, and she liked it. Adagio was never the sensitive type, Sunset had almost began thinking she was just that strong of a person that she lacked that emotion. But finally the guise had broken away, and Sunset had a lingering feeling that tonight had been a lot more important to them than either of them realized.

"You know I'm in love with you, Adagio?"

Sunset felt Adagio's chest rise in shock.

That had been the first time Sunset had outright worded it like that.

"I... I..."

Adagio gave a happy sigh and smiled.

"I love you too, Sunny."

Sunset's heart did a somersault. She closed her eyes and snuggled deeper into Adagio's hair.

“One last thing?” Her girlfriend spoke up.

“Hmm?”

“How do you feel about feet stuff?”

Sunset’s eyes shot open.
