Changing for the Better

On the day of Rainbow’s return one and a half weeks later, Fluttershy stood nervously in the entryway of her cottage waiting for the moment when her lover would walk through the door. On the surface she looked cool, calm and collected with her mane up in a pony tail so she couldn’t fiddle, or hide behind it in an attempt to calm the nervous butterflies swarming around in her tummy. Could she really do this though? Could she finally be a strong enough mare that Rainbow could lean and rely on for comfort? She took a deep calming breath and shook her head to clear it of those doubts.

Starsong had taught her everything she needed to know, all she had to do was trust in her lessons, herself and follow her therapist’s instructions in being confident. Also on Starsong’s instructions she had coated her lips in an rose flavored ointment, to ‘make things more intense.’ She glanced back inside the lounge room wondering if it would be more intimate if Rainbow found her laying on the bed in front of the warmth of the fireplace, then dismissed that idea. She wanted to be the very first thing Rainbow saw when she got back after ten days of intense training with the Wonder Bolts.

The butterflies were still swarming around in her tummy making her squirm uncomfortably. Remembering Starsong’s lessons she closed her eyes, thinking about something else to take her mind of her nervousness. She went back to the dream she’d had on the train to her meeting with Starsong, with Rainbow tucked safely beneath her wing, curled up against her warmth and sleeping contently. A fond smile formed on her muzzle as she altered the scenario a little and she was now nuzzling into the crook of Rainbow’s neck making her giggle at the ticklish sensations of her licks and nips, before she suckled on Rainbow’s ear tip making her squirm and blush slightly. She loved watching those cyan cheeks take on a rose hue, it was really quite adorable.

When she opened her eyes again the butterflies were much less prominent and almost non existent, she searched through her memories of being with Rainbow and she did her best to mimic that cocky but caring, playful smirk Rainbow only reserved for her. She unfurled her wings and fluffed up her feathers, blushing brightly as she realized she had instinctively initiated the first stages of mating signs, but she kept them raised and slightly fluffed, yet another sign of the confidence Starsong had taught her to have in herself.

The doorhandle jingled as somepony, no doubt Rainbow, fiddled with the handle and stepped tiredly through the door with the heavy saddlebags on her back still unpacked. She must have come straight from the train station to the cottage without stopping for anything else. Fluttershy felt her heart warm at the fact Rainbow had foregone an obviously much wanted and needed nap on a soft cloud bed just to be with her sooner. Fluttershy’s gaze slowly took in marefirend’s much different body, whatever training the Wander Bolts had put her through, it had done an amazing job to further fine chisel her body’s muscles into firmer, toned and streamlined curves. Fluttershy subtly wiped the corner of her mouth.

“H-hey, Shy,” Rainbow muttered, waving her hoof lazily through the air in greeting, after a few moments taking in FLuttershy’s form she looked somewhat taken back and surprised. “You seem... different.” She tilted her head curiously and tapped her chin. “Maybe I’m just too tired.”

“Well then let’s get you rested, Rainbow Dash. I’ll take those,” Fluttershy said, relieving Rainbow of her saddlebags. Rainbow groaned in relief at the weight being taken off her and she ruffled her feathers to get them back into their proper place. “Now then, I think a nice bath and massage is just what you need after such a hard trip.” Biting her bottom lip and hoping she wouldn’t somehow stuff up, Fluttershy slowly extended a wing and draped it over her pegasus’s body. The moment she had made such an intimate gesture the nervous butterflies came back in force, swarming around in her stomach making her want to ‘eep’ loudly and curly up in a ball and hide behind her mane. Instead she took a deep breath and focused on what she wanted. She wanted Rainbow to be properly taken care of and rested.

“This feels really nice, Shy,” Rainbow murmured in appreciation for the warmth and comfort, leaning further into the embrace, her eyes drooping closed slightly. Fluttershy smiled and braced herself a bit more firmly, supporting the extra weight of Rainbow leaning against her. She carefully and slowly lead her to the bed in the lounge room where she had also set up two mugs of hot coca on the bedside table.

“Up you go, Dashie,” Fluttershy instructed gesturing for her to get in the bed. “You need to rest properly before anything else.” Rainbow hesitated a moment seemingly daunted by the prospect of stepping the few feet up into the bed. But with a little groan she flared her wings and with a single flap, she flopped gracelessly onto the bed snuggling underneath the warmth of the thick blankets, humming in contentment as she squirmed into a more comfortable position.

Fluttershy’s heart thundered loudly in her chest with every moment that passed. With Rainbow laying on the bed contently she realized this would be the perfect opportunity to put her long days and hours of therapy to use. Stepping up onto the she took a deep calming breath focusing all her attention on Rainbow Dash, who was staring at her with confused look, wondering why she was being stared at so intently.

“Is... Everything okay?” Rainbow asked, the feeling of uncomfortableness building up in her with her with each moment she was stared at so intensely. Fluttershy didn’t answer. Silently, wordlessly and without warning she moved her muzzle forward, licking her rose flavored lips. She kept perfectly still as she watched Fluttershy move in for a kiss. Unlike the previous times Fluttershy had tried this, she could see something different in her eyes, a confident determination to see this kiss through to the end. A shudder of anticipation ran through her body.

Fluttershy forced herself to keep moving her head forward, she kept her gaze fixed on Rainbow’s lips, letting them be the sole occupation of her thoughts so the nervous butterflies in her tummy were nothing but a faint distraction in the back of her mind. She was so close to Rainbow’s lips now. Close enough for Rainbow to feel each of her shaky breaths blowing warmly across her cheek. And close enough for her to finally close her eyes and slowly, gently press their muzzles together. She remained like that for a few seconds, with just her lips delicately touching against Rainbow’s, before pressing further into the embrace, leading the kiss just like Starsong had taught her.

Rainbow moaned softly unable to do anything to resist and take charge as her mind was still processing and working through the discovery of this new side to Fluttershy. Her thoughts were completely scattered as Fluttershy pressed a hoof went to her left cuite mark and made circular motions to intimately massage her flanks. After a while Fluttershy gently trailed the hoof up her side making her shudder at the feeling of electric goosebumps forming in the wake of the trailing hoof. She pulled back a little looking up at Fluttershy with half lidded and completely dazed eyes. She opened her mouth to say something only to give a muffled “MMPPH!” as Fluttershy took advantage of her partly opened mouth and kissed her again more deeply. She melted into the kiss, quite eagerly letting Fluttershy take the lead for the first time in their relationship.

Fluttershy gently trailed a hoof over Rainbow’s wings, delicately pressing and stimulating their pressure points causing her to moan loudly in pleasure, and her wings to flare open at the intense electric tingling of the stimulation. Fluttershy didn’t let up. She experimentally poked her tongue forward, lightly licking it over her teeth. Her hoof made its way from Rainbow’s wings, into her mane tugging it with a gentle firmness that made her moan yet again and tilt her head up slightly into the kiss. Fluttersy felt an intense thrill that she was the one making Rainbow moan and gently stroked a hoof through the soft fur on her pegasus’s chest describing tiny little circles, she added some gentle pressure to keep Rainbow pinned to the bed on her back as she straddled Rainbow’s stomach blushing brightly as the sensations of Rainbow’s soft silky fur tickling and stimulating her fun spot.

Rainbow gasped through the kiss at the new position of dominance Flutterhshy had taken and her still throbbing wings fluttered uselessly by her sides in mock resistance to being in the subservient position. But both mares knew she was loving every minute of being on the bottom. Fluttershy held the back of Rainbow’s head, tugging slightly on her mane as she trapped their lips together and deepened the kiss, trying to prod her tongue past the barrier of teeth. She eagerly opened her mouth accepting Fluttershy’s tongue.

Fluttershy’s wings shot out as her tongue connected with Rainbow’s in a playful dance of dominance. She gently used each of her primary feathers to tease and stroke down Rainbow’s sides making her moan out and squirm cutely at the ticklish sensations. She once more pressed with a firm gentleness against Rainbow’s chest, making her obey the unspoken command to be still. She gently pressed her feathers into Rainbow’s cyan plumage and their wings throbbed harder as intense tingling sensations shot their bodies.

She eventually pinned Rainbow’s tongue down and began exploring her lover’s mouth. Rainbow’s hoofs wrapped around the back of her neck but they did nothing more then rest there. Eventually she pulled back and Rainbow gave a tiny displeased whine that was instantly cut off by a low moan of pleasure as Fluttershy nuzzled into the crook of her neck licking and nipping at the sensitive flesh. She gently took some flesh between her teeth and bit down on it, before suckling it softly. Rainbow gave a little mewl of pained pleasure, but she didn’t give any sign she wanted the love bite to stop. Fluttershy pulled back licking and nuzzling at the small bruised area, before pulling Rainbow into a brief, intense kiss. Pulling back, she nibbled along Rainbow’s collar bone, every so often nipping the flesh and making Rainbow suck in a sharp breath. She pulled back to simply gaze down at her heavily panting pegasus.

“I-I..... Ummmmm... Are you okay, Dashie?” She looked genuinely worried and Rainbow was quick to allay her marefriends fears, pulling Fluttershy against herself, folding her wings around the mare in a tight comforting hug.

“That...” She paused for a moment, still panting heavily as she came down from the intenseness of Fluttershy’s impromptu makeout session. “Was awesome.”

Moving carefully Fluttershy slid under the sheets beside Rainbow and gently draped a wing around her once more, sighing contently. “I’m happy you enjoyed that, Rainbow.” She bit her bottom lip looking extremely nervous. “D-did you really like it, tho? I know I’m not...MMPH!?” Fluttershy squeaked cutely as Rainbow’s lips once more connected with hers, putting a stop to her word.

“Fluttershy,” Rainbow said sternly, nuzzling her marefriend’s cheek. “You were awesome.” She gave a tired yawn, nuzzling into Fluttershy’s neck and a few seconds later she was sound asleep, snoring softly. Fluttershy made a mental note to once again thank Starsong for making her dream come true.
