It was a week after Rarity’s confession to the group and her flirting with Sunset, nothing had come from that as Rarity was waiting for Sunset to make a move first which did not seem immanent. It was Saturday, and the girls were at Pinkie's house for no reason in particular. They’d watch a movie and eaten a lot thing they really shouldn’t have while, gossiping all the time.

Marble had joined them for the film, mainly because there was nothing she could do to stop her sister from making her, but she had managed to leave once it was finished and was now hiding in her room until the others left. She struggled to be around Sunset as it was her actions that were the reason she was now being home schooled. Sunset hadn’t been crueller to her than anyone else, but she had taken it worse than anyone else and, even knowing Sunset was nice now, she was still unable to even look at her.

While Marble was scared of Sunset, Sunset was also mildly scared of Marble. Seeing the girl she had destroyed still visibly shaking in her presence always put a huge dent in her fragile self-worth. She had tried to befriend Marble but had only ended up scaring her more, so now she just stayed clear of her and didn’t speak when she was in the room because her voice notably scared her. She had spent most of the movie reflecting on what an awful person she had been. Hiding her torment from the others as she had grown so used to doing.

With the movie finished, the group, with no need to face the TV, had spread around the room. Rainbow was sitting in the chair with Fluttershy sitting sideways in her lap with her legs over the arm. Applejack, Rarity and Sunset were sitting on the sofa while Pinkie was unable to stay in one place for more than a few seconds due to the amount of sugar she had consumed and all were pretending they didn’t know where Rainbow’s hand was.

Applejack had just invited them to a barbeque at Sweet Apple Acers next weekend when a thought struck the sugar high Pinkie. “Hey Sunset, how come we’ve never been to your house!?”

This was a question that the members of the group had asked themselves but had never discussed it with each other or Sunset. They looked at Sunset who looked incredibly unsettled by this simple question.

“It is something that has crossed my mind,” said Rarity. “I mean you don’t have any family in this dimension, and you were here for ages before you made any friends.”

Sunset now looked like a deer in headlights, she was sitting bolt upright and looking round the group as if she was expecting an attack.

“I’m sorry, Darling,” said Rarity, realising this would be a bad direction to continue the conversation. “You don’t need to answer if you don’t want to.”

“Why?” said Pinkie, “Why don’t we know? Is she hiding something? Like a giant killer robot? A deadly mutant fish? Oh oh oh, A giant killer mutant robot fish!”

Rarity glared at her with such ferocity it seemed to cut right through the sugar rush as Pinkie immediately calmed down and sat on the arm of the sofa.

“I guess I should tell you but please don’t judge me,” said Sunset with an audible note of pleading in her voice. “You’re right. I don’t have family here, I don’t have money. When I arrived I brought bits and jewels from Equestria but they were worth practically nothing here.” Sunset paused as she tried to muster her courage. Her friends all noticed that was nervously fiddling with the hem of her skirt and not making eye contact. “I don’t have a home,” she admitted.

The group was silent for a few seconds.

“So where do you live?” asked Rainbow.

“I squat,” came a very quiet voice from Sunset.

“No!” declared Rarity as she jumped to her feet, “You live with me now Dear, go get your things.”

“But I -“

“I will not have it any other way,” stated Rarity as she pulled Fluttershy off Rainbow’s lap. “Fluttershy and I will go and get my room ready for you, the rest of you go and collect her things.”

At this Rarity headed for the door dragging Fluttershy behind her who was attempting, and failing, to subtly rearrange her bra.

As the retrieval team arrived at Sunset’s house all of them were a little nervous, Sunset because she was revealing her deepest shame and the others because this was not a particularly nice part of town. The house was fairly decent looking from the outside, a little run down but not too bad. When they entered it was clear that it had been a while since anyone had decorated. Wallpaper was peeling off, paint was faded and the carpets were worn.

As they had entered, Sunset motioned for them to be quiet as she took a baseball bat out of the hall cupboard. She proceeded to check each of the rooms downstairs for something before heading upstairs where she did the same. Applejack, Rainbow and Pinkie exchanged worried looks and stayed close together. Satisfied nothing was there, Sunset then took out a key and unlocked the only room she hadn’t checked. This turned out to be her bedroom. As they all entered, Rainbow and Applejack noticed there were strong looking deadbolts on the inside of the door.

“This is where you live?” asked Applejack.

“Yes,” replied Sunset.

It was clear she wasn’t going to talk about it so none of her friends pursued the subject. Sunset took a box out from the wardrobe and silently starting putting the books from the desk in it followed by her clothes. Her worldly positions barley filled it.

“This everything?” asked Applejack as she picked the box up.

Sunset simply nodded and left the room.

Meanwhile, Rarity and Fluttershy were setting up a single bed in Rarity’s bedroom. She’d told her parents about Sunset being homeless and said she would now be living with her. She had expected a little resistance from them but was very happy that they had instantly agreed.

As well as her parents, Sweetie Belle was happy with it too as she had grown fond of Sunset who helped her a lot with her homework and was a very patient teacher. She was also still trying to make up for the ‘Anon-a-Miss Incident’. She and her friends had very nearly destroyed Sunset’s recently restored acceptance by the school after the Battle of the Bands by framing her for running a gossip site and ruining people’s lives again.

“Right, that’s bed, closet space and a few drawers empty for her,” said Rarity going through her mental check list. “How are we going to go about getting dressed?”

“That’s the good thing about sharing a room with your girlfriend,” said Fluttershy, “there’s no worries about privacy because you don’t need any for changing.”

“Well yes, but I’m not dating Sunset,” pointed out Rarity, “and if you were moving in with me you would want privacy, wouldn’t you?”

“No, I’d be alright changing in front of you. There’s something about orgasming on front of your friends that makes you less nervous about doing anything in front of them.”

“Are you sure you’re Fluttershy? Timid girl? Yea high?”

Fluttershy giggled. “Do you want me to take my top off?” she asked as she started to lift it up

“No need Darling, I’ve seen you topless remember. I fit your bras.”

Rarity walked over to Fluttershy and cupped her breasts, running her hands up the sides if them. This was mainly just to see what Fluttershy would do. She smiled, which was unexpected. “Rainbow is really having a good effect on you my dear. I’d never have thought you could be this confident in yourself and proud of your body. You were always trying to hide these.” At that she lifted and squeezed Fluttershy’s breasts.

“What would you do if I wasn’t dating anyone?” asked Fluttershy.

“I would do all I could to get you into bed,” answered Rarity without a moment’s hesitation and not breaking eye contact so Fluttershy would know she was serious, “but you know I would never get in between you and Rainbow. I’d be shocked if I’m not designing your wedding attire in a few years.” At that thought she realised she should probably make a start on it.

She had moved her hands over Fluttershy’s chest to trace out her cleavage just as Fluttershy leaned in to hug her. This resulted in Rarity’s hands being trapped between their chests and causing her to squeeze Fluttershy rather firmly. She was getting turned on now by the warmth flowing into her hands. As Fluttershy released her, she took half a step back. “You should think about coming in for another fitting, you’re not far off from needing another size up.”

“Didn’t you used to have a privacy screen before you redecorated your bedroom last time?” asked Fluttershy, getting back to business but not pointing out that Rarity’s hands were still on her chest.

“I did! I think it may still be in the attic.”

By the time Sunset and the others arrived, Rarity and Fluttershy had found the screen and set it up. Unfortunately it didn’t go with the new colours of the room which greatly annoyed Rarity so it would need to be pained in the coming days. Sweetie Belle met the others at the door and hurriedly dragged Sunset by the hand up to her new room.

“Welcome home!” she exclaimed as she brought Sunset into the room.

“Thanks Sweetie,” said Sunset, bending down to give her a hug.

“You run along Sweetie and let Sunset get settled in,” said Rarity

After a short staring match, Sweetie Belle gave in and did as she was told.

The girls had all stayed at Rarity’s for a while before dispersing back to their respective homes for dinner. Rarity’s parents had proceeded to greatly embarrass her by asking Sunset all the questions she didn’t want them to ask concerning Sunset’s family, boys, plans for the future and, worst of all, they had, jokingly, asked if there would be any demon problems.

When dinner was finished Rarity took Sunset aside. “I am so sorry about my parents asking you all those things,” she said as soon as they were out of earshot.

“It’s alright, that’s what parents are supposed to do, isn’t it? Embarrass their children.”

“They are very good at it,” admitted Rarity.

They spent most of the evening watching TV with Rarity’s parents and Sweetie Belle who sat between Rarity and Sunset. She was hoping she would get another big sister out of this. As night fell they decided it would be time for bed.

In what was now their room they changed on each side of the privacy screen, both acutely aware that one of their friends was naked just inches away. Sunset was changed first and went and sat on her bed, it was positioned so she still couldn’t see Rarity though she was hoping for a glimpse of her.

When Rarity was eventually dressed she came out from behind the screen wearing her normal style of nightdress, tight, mid thigh length, underwired and with a lot of cleavage showing. Sunset felt now was the time to ask a question she had always wondered during the group’s slumber parties. “Why do you always dress so sexy to go to bed?”

Rarity struck a pose against the post of her bed looking like she was from a sexy night attire catalogue. She then slinked over to turn on her bedside lamp and turned off the main light with the switch next to her bed leaving just the soft, warm glow of the lamp to illuminate her.

“One should always look one’s best, even when alone,” she replied, as she slipped one shoulder strap off and sashayed over to Sunset who’s gaze kept darting down from her eyes to her cleavage.

“I remember a conversation we had last weekend,” said Rarity.

Sunset tried to keep her face motionless so as not to give away her nerves but Rarity noticed the hope in her eyes so she climbed onto Sunset’s bed and sat straddling her. If she hadn’t been too occupied by the cleavage now only inches in front of her face, she would have noticed Rarity’s nightdress had ridden up and had left her completely exposed.

Rarity smiled as Sunset was unable to look up from her cleavage so she placed a finger under Sunset’s chin and tilted her head up to look at her. Sunset was mesmerised as Rarity leaned down and kissed her delicately on the lips.

As Rarity withdrew from the kiss, Sunset could only gaze up at her in wonder. “Is this really happening?” she asked breathlessly.

“Yes Darling, it is,” replied Rarity in a soft, seductive tone as she leaned down to kiss Sunset again.

Rarity parted her lips and ran her tongue across Sunset’s lips prompting her to open her mouth just a little. As Sunset complied, Rarity slipped her tongue in to meet Sunset’s. There was a sharp intake of breath from Sunset as their tongue met.

After a few seconds, Rarity again broke away from the kiss and got down from Sunsets' bed. Sunset had a look of yearning on her face but seeing Rarity’s smile she knew that wasn’t the end. Rarity placed a finger under her roommate’s chin and applied the slightest pressure to tell Sunset to come forward off the bed. She then guided her by her finger across to her own bed, a double rather than Sunset’s single bed, much better for what was coming.

After she positioned Sunset standing next to the bed, Rarity took a step away and placed one hand on her chest to hold her night dress up as she slid the other shoulder strap off. She saw Sunset was trying to control her breathing by taking long, slow breath to disguise her excitement. She paused for a few seconds to tease Sunset before raising both arms above her head. This didn’t cause her night dress to fall as she hoped so she gave a quick shake of her shoulders. As the dress fell to the floor, she arched her back to push her chest out and canted her hips.

Sunset absentmindedly reached out a hand towards Rarity but stopped half way. Seeing this, Rarity took a step forward and gently took Sunset’s hand, finishing its movement up to her chest for her. Sunset blushed as Rarity placed her hand against her magnificent alabaster chest.

“Just follow your instincts darling,” said Rarity softly to reassure her.

With these words of reassurance Sunset stepped in to Rarity and kissed her. This kissed seem to have an incredible amount of warmth to it and Rarity realised this was what she had never had with Applejack, passion. In their first few times together she thought they had it but she realised now it wasn’t, it had only ever been lust. There had never really been any foreplay like this either, in their latter encounters foreplay had consisted of Applejack calling Rarity a slut and proceeding to ram her full of fake cocks then hit her with the riding crop.

Rarity banished those thoughts from her head as she felt Sunset’s other hand join the first in caressing her chest as their tongues danced. After what felt like hours due to the warmth of the kiss, Sunset broke away. As she moved away, it seemed she dragged a small moan from Rarity lips with her. Sunset placed a finger under Rarity’s chin and sat down on the bed, gently guiding Rarity down with her as she again sat straddling her with her exposed chest directly in front of Sunset’s eager tongue.

Rarity realised at this point that her thoughts were hers, there was no fog in her head, no slut acting for her, these were her actions and her desires. She suddenly felt a shiver of pleasure run through her as Sunset’s tongue flicked one of her nipples and her head rolled back as another moan escaped her.

“We need to be quiet,” she said to Sunset, “I don’t want my parents or Sweetie Belle hearing us.”

“I don’t seem to be the one having trouble,” replied Sunset jokingly before running her tongue around Rarity’s nipple.

“Mmmmm, you’ll be struggling shortly,” said Rarity trying to stay quiet.

“I hope so,” replied Sunset, a huge smile on her face.

As Sunset continued her attention to Rarity’s chest, alternating her tongue between the two rock hard nipples desperate for attention, Rarity slid her hand down Sunsets stomach and into her pyjamas. As she ran a finger down Sunset’s wet lips, Sunset ceased work on her chest and tried to control her breathing and stop herself letting out the moan that already forming.

“It’s your turn to try and stay quiet,” whispered Rarity.

Sunset smiled and raised her arms above her head as Rarity lifted her top up. As Sunset’s red and blonde hair tumbled back down across her shoulders, Rarity felt as if her heart skipped a beat. She had planned this as a one-time thing, maybe with some repeats if Sunset wanted, but maybe that wasn’t what she wanted anymore. Looking at Sunset, her tousled hair and her beautiful, slightly shy smile, Rarity wondered if she wanted more with Sunset.

“Hey,” said Sunset playfully, “I thought I was going to be struggling to stay quiet now?”

“Sorry, I, It’s just...” stumbled Rarity.

“Are you alright?” asked Sunset, placing a hand on Rarity’s arm.

“More than alright,” replied Rarity as she put her arms around Sunset and kissed her as they both fell backwards to lie on the bed. Rarity then rolled them over so they were lying on their sides, lips still locked.

They lay there for several minutes enjoying the unbelievable warmth of their kiss as their hands caressed the other's body with Sunset’s hands causing Rarity to shiver wherever they touched. After spending time paying attention to Sunset’s chest, Rarity’s hand eventual made its way down Sunsets stomach and back underneath her pyjamas.

Sunset broke from the kiss as she gasped at Rarity’s touch. Rarity’s finger had dipped in between her wet lips and was gently stroking her along the full length of her slit.

“Your turn to stay quiet,” whispered Rarity, placing a finger from her free hand against Sunsets lips.

“Mmm-Ahh,” was all Sunset could manage as Rarity fingers explored her soaking sex. She took a couple of deep breaths and continued, “I don’t think I can, I’ve never felt anything like thiiiiii.... Oh, Rarity they’ll hear me.”

“We’ll take it slow Darling. You’ll be fine, just relax,” said Rarity as she kissed Sunset sweetly on the lips.

She slid down the bed, running a fingernail down between Sunsets breasts and down her stomach, causing a little gasp to escape Sunset’s lips. When she reached the waistband of Sunsets pyjamas, she brought her other hand up from Sunset’s pussy and slowly finished undressing her. With Sunset now exposed, Rarity positioned her mouth an inch above Sunsets pussy, her warm breath causing Sunset’s breathing to quicken.

“Are you ready?” asked Rarity.

“Yes,” came the immediate answer.

Rarity extended her tongue and placed it against Sunset’s swollen clit. Sunset’s entire body quivered at the touch and she let out a long, soft moan. Rarity gave her a few seconds to compose herself before she slowly ran her tongue down. and then into, Sunset’s pussy.

With her gorgeous friend's tongue deep into her pussy, Sunset let out another long moan and her back arched on its own accord. Instinct told her that paying attention to her own breasts would greatly increase her pleasure. She brought her hands up and grasped her breasts, caressing herself and found her instincts were spot on.

Rarity was deeply enjoying the taste of Sunset, her tongue seemed to be working on autopilot, licking the length of Sunsets pussy, toying with her clit and pushing in to her moist pussy. Her head was still fog free but her eyes were closed and the only sensation was the warmth and taste of Sunset’s pussy. She snapped back to reality as Sunsets legs clamp around her back, holding her onto her pussy as loud moans escaped her.

“Darling, please stay quiet,” said Rarity, reluctantly lifting her head away from Sunset’s pussy

“I’ll try,” gasped Sunset in between moans. “Please keep going.”

As Sunset held a hand over her mouth to stifle her moans, Rarity closed her eyes and went back to the wonderful sensation that was her friend’s pussy. The pleasure she was getting from giving oral was almost pushing her over the edge as it was but she still reached down between her own legs and starting fingering herself as well. It had never been this good with Applejack, every cell of her body seemed as if it was about to cum and she had barely touched herself.

As Rarity’s tongue continued its magical stimulation of her pussy, Sunset felt herself reach the plateau of orgasmic bliss. She knew she wouldn’t be able to hold back what was coming and reached out to grab one of Rarity’s pillows and clamped it to her face just as she climaxed. Her entire body felt as if it were receiving tiny, wonderful electric shocks and her muscles seemed to be in as much pleasure as her brain as her legs and arms were twitching of their own volition.

The muffled moans and the wonderful taste of Sunset’s cum pushed Rarity over the edge as well, she tried her best to keep up her rhythmic tongue movements for Sunset and her own fingers toying with her own pussy but she couldn’t. All she could do was enjoy the pleasure that washed over her.

The two girls lay there for several minutes as they came down and got their breath back. Rarity licked Sunset’s pussy clean causing a few more moans to escape her beautiful friend’s mouth. When she was confident she had the strength, she climbed up the bed and lay down next to Sunset who rolled onto her side to face her.

“Welcome home,” said Rarity, with a smile on her face.

“It’s nice to have a home again,” replied Sunset with a smile forming on her face too. She reached out and placed a tender hand on Rarity’s side.

“You taste amazing Darling, I almost came just from eating you,” said Rarity before she leaned across and kissed Sunset, letting her have a little taste of herself.

“I do taste good,” noted Sunset with a small laugh. “Do you think anyone heard us?”

“I don’t think so,” replied Rarity before adding to herself, Hopefully.

“Is sex always this exhausting?” asked Sunset.

Rarity let out a small chuckle, “If done right.”

At that point, Sunset remembered the reason she had used to suggest this encounter. “Did your head get foggy?”

“No Darling, that was all my own thoughts,” said Rarity as a feeling of joy seemed to flow through her, she was alone in her head again. “Do you, perhaps, want to sleep over here tonight?” asked Rarity hopefully. She was going to need some time to think about those feeling that had been stirred up earlier. What she knew was that she wanted to stay close to Sunset.

“I’d like that,” said Sunset leaning over to kiss Rarity.

The two girls got into bed together, not bothering to dress again, with Rarity having taken the opportunity to clean her face. Sunset fell asleep within a minute while Rarity lay awake for some time, thinking about those new feelings, the best of which was the inexplicable sense of contentment as she lay there with Sunset asleep in her arms.

Author's Note

I wrote this a few months before Friendship Games came out and was overjoyed to see the beautifully tender moment between Sunset and Rarity when Rarity's comforting Sunset about her past.
