Sunflower

Are y-you sure…?” Wallflower Blush asked, a tint on her cheeks that did justice to her name.

“Of course I’m sure,” Sunset chuckled and gently knocked the girl’s arm with her knuckle. “We’ve been friends for what? A couple months now? Besides, I really look forward to the time we spend in your garden,” she added a wink for good measure.

Wallflower’s face felt like it was going to melt because it was so hot. Sunset hadn’t just meant that as an innuendo right? Right?! Wallflower’s mind was like the vine she had been trying to manage in the garden’s back corner: a tangled mess. A hot tangled mess...limbs intertwined...bodies heav-

“Gah,” Wallflower blurted out, eyes in twirling spirals of panicked ecstasy.

“Huh?” Sunset cocked a brow, not knowing what was going on in her friend’s head. Out of consideration for other people’s privacy, Sunset tried not to use her mind and memory-reading powers without good enough merit.

The redhead stopped along the trail. It was much greener now since the path they had been walking finally ended at the opening of the secret garden. Sunset took in a deep breath. She had really come to appreciate this place since she had started coming here to spend time with the girl. There was something so nice and peaceful about it. The fresh natural scent of the garden was a pleasant change of pace. Sure, Fluttershy was a nature lover too but she spent more time around animals and they didn’t exactly smell that refreshing. At least most of the time.

And then there was the girl herself. Wallflower Blush, illuminated by the partially tree-shaded light of the late afternoon sun. Sunset had come to really and truly like the girl. She was far from outspoken but she was very pleasant and interesting once they had gotten to warm up to each other. The bitter manipulative aspect of her had washed away once she had come to realize she was no longer alone...or forgotten.

Wallflower had walked ahead to the potted bonsai she had placed near the flowers at the center of the garden. As she tended to it and Sunset walked around to get her watering can, she looked over the girl. Oh, she knew what she looked like. Of course she did. But something was nagging at the back of her mind. What was it?

Something was off. Something was different today.

Sunset gave a “hm” of thought as she began watering a few plants around the center’s rim, which housed a multitude of blue and yellow flowers. Her gaze kept returning to her friend. She gave brief answers to a few mundane questions Wallflower asked about which plants Sunset had tended to last time. But Sunset’s real attention was on the contours of the young woman’s body.

She wore the same long-sleeve that she often did. Sunset had learned some time ago that it was one of her favorites. Nothing out of place about that. Her shoes were the same too. No jewelry and Wallflower hadn’t gained or lost any weight. The pants were-

Ah.

That was it.

It truly was not Sunset’s fault this time for not noticing sooner. The jeans she was wearing were very similar in color to the pants Wallflower usually wore with that shirt. But these were just a tad lighter and...tighter.

Tighter?

Wallflower tended to use loose-fitting clothes and fashion that didn’t stick out much or show off her curves. The jeans were by no means extreme or particularly revealing but Sunset had come to know her and this was far beyond anything she normally would wear. They grabbed her attention and held it long enough for Sunset to begin wondering if it was okay for her to be staring at her friend’s rear end. The back pockets of the jeans had flower patterns stitched on them that bended along with the curve of the girl’s-

“Sunset!” Wallflower called out, turning her full attention to the other girl. “Careful!”

“Huh?” Sunset returned her attention to the watering can she had been using. It was nearly empty and the flower basin was practically waterlogged. She quickly jerked the can up. “Oh! Darn it! Sorry. I’ll go get a cup so they don’t drown.”

“I’ll help!” Wallflower insisted, practically rushing ahead to the garden tool box. The large wooden box was situated against the wall lining the garden’s rear side.

Something was definitely off about her today. What had gotten into her? Why was she being so-?

Sunset froze in place. Wallflower had gotten in front of her and leaned down to get a cup from the tool box. And she was bending over with her rear towards Sunset.

And swaying her hips.

Okay, there was no way this was not intentional.

It was all coming together now. The time a few weeks ago when Wallflower showed her all those clothes on her phone and which ones might look good on each other. Those jeans were a pair Sunset had insisted would match her well. And the time before that when they had been talking about what kind of people they might date some day. Sunset had let on she was as interested in girls as she was boys. And then Applejack had told her just days ago that Wallflower had come asking if anyone in their group was currently dating anyone else.

Wallflower...Sunset felt a smile growing on her lips. This girl was quite clever even when she was no longer a scheming villain. Maybe the swaying rear was a bit overdone (she was still doing it) but then again maybe she was just making her moves obvious to let Sunset in on her intentions. Wallflower had, after all, been getting more of an in-your-face kind of confidence since she had been spending time with her. Small, yes, but still a gain in confidence. Well two could play at that game.

Sunset was no stranger to being forward. Or confident. She may have been so in a bad way before the Fall Formal but who was to say she couldn’t be bold and non-evil? In fact, she was rather liking the idea the more she thought of it.

“Found it,” Wallflower looked to Sunset while leaning back up far too slowly and with an overdone sensual arch in her spine. Perhaps some random person would think it ridiculous or silly but Sunset only found it endearing. She was trying so hard to be alluring that it was cute.

“You know...” Sunset started out with just a barest hint of a flirting tone as she walked up to Wallflower’s side.

The girl apparently sensed a shift in mood and that her actions had been noticed. Not surprisingly, the green-haired beauty took a step backwards around the tool box. As much as she had warmed up to Sunset and relaxed in her presence, the girl was still clearly pushing her own limits of comfort and could easily crumble in the face of a serious intimate approach.

“Hehe,” Wallflower began losing her cool fast, eyes wandering around anywhere to avoid Sunset’s gaze.

The redhead stepped around the tool box as well, causing Wallflower to get backed up against the stone wall and the large slender leaves of a mature Madagascar dragon tree.

“I’m not reading this wrong, am I?” Sunset asked, still flirty but honest. “I really doubt this is just a joke.”

Wallflower had a difficult time responding in anything but failed attempts as the slightly taller girl cast a shadow upon her. But she finally got out a “please be gentle.”

“Actually, Wallflower,” Sunset took on a more confident grin as she leaned forward, placing one hand on the wall to the right of Wallflower’s head. “I was thinking maybe we could try it out. Dating, I mean. You know, it’s not like I’m oblivious to interest the way Pinkie Pie is. I got the feeling over the past few weeks that you’ve been looking at me as more than just some friend.”

“I-I-” Wallflower stuttered. This was happening. Was this happening? Oh goddess, this was happening!

“In fact,” Sunset’s look evolved further into a smirk as she leaned in fully to the flustered recluse. Face to face, not a foot apart. Her other hand settled on the vine-covered wall to the left of Wallflower’s head, trapping the girl between a rock wall and a very...hot place...fiery redhead hot...

Wallflower’s eyes turned back to overwhelmed spirals as her inner thoughts, feelings, and reaction went wild. Her hearth thumped so heavy that it felt like she was going to pass out. She couldn’t move but she didn’t want to either. This was her crush. This was what she thought would never happen except in her wildest dreams.

“Can I call you Flower?” Sunset whispered, her own feelings putting her on top of the world. She forgot how much she loved being in control and the fact that she wasn’t doing it to bully someone else washed away any reservation about being in the wrong. Wallflower Blush looked like she was enjoying this as much as she was.

The garden-lover gave a tiny nod. She finally and, in a very shy manner, made eye contact and was unable to break it.

“Pretty Flower,” Sunset giggled as she gently traced a finger along the girl’s cheek. “The more I think about this, the more I like it. I’m going to enjoy finding out what you really like. What makes you tick.”

Wallflower’s knees almost gave out then and there.

“How about we have an early dinner after finishing up here?” Sunset finally leaned back.

The answer from Wallflower came in the form of a jumbled word salad, which Sunset was able to pick a “yes” out of.

“Awesome,” Sunset put her hands to her hips. “Just don’t tell the other girls. I want to be there when they hear I got the cutest girl at Canterlot High.”

That final wink from the redheaded beauty was the final straw that made Wallflower’s knees give.

Thankfully, Sunset was a good catch.
