Easing Tensions

“Mmm, doughnuts,” Shining Armour moaned, closing his eyes and licking his plump fingers clean of the pink frosting covering the tips. “Oh, you are truly the tastiest of all the fried dough treats.”

Suppressing a contented belch, Shining leaned back in his seat, hearing it creak in protest beneath his immense bulk. Captain of the Crystal Guard though he may have been, Shining was also a Prince, and had made quite the habit of indulging in a princely lifestyle as a result—as well as a princely diet. Shining had quickly fallen in love with the incredible foodstuffs coming out of the palace kitchens and found himself eating more and more of it in ever-increasing quantities, at ever more frequent intervals. The inevitable result was that he had begun to bloat out with blubber, quickly outstripping one set of armour, and then another. From the feel of his straps digging into his flesh, it wouldn’t be long before he had to get rid of this set, too.

Hardly surprising, seeing how Shining now tipped the scales at close to five hundred pounds of heaving, jiggling fat. His once angular and well-defined face was now soft and colt-like in appearance, his neck melting into two chins with the beginnings of a third. Although they were not presently visible beneath his armour, he also sported a massive, wobbling keg of a gut and a plump pair of C-cup moobs. There was no doubting it—Shining Armour was a complete butterball.

Not that he saw it as an issue. Far from it—he had in fact grown quite proud of his new body. Delegating most of the footwork to the lieutenants below him, he was now content to serve his position as a desk jockey, with some tasty snacks for company of course.

Shining licked his lips as he used his magic to drop the empty doughnut box into the trash can beside his desk, next to which sat his boots and a couple of crumpled pieces of paper. He used his hands to slap against his belly in a rapid, bongo-style rhythm, grinning at the sensation of his soft flab jiggling beneath his touch. He glanced up at the clock, noting that it was now twenty minutes past three.

“He’s taking his time…” he noted to himself. One of the lieutenants had put in a complaint the previous day about one of the newer recruits, and Shining was supposed to be speaking to him that afternoon.

As if on cue, the latch of the office door clicked and opened. Shining looked up to see a scrawny colt of about twenty standing there, looking rather nervous. His crystalline coat was a light shade of green, with a darker green mane and tail. His icy-blue eyes shifted slightly as he stood to attention. From what Shining could see, he was built slenderly but athletically, with lean muscle visible on the parts of his arms and legs not covered by his armour.

“Private Pine Needle reporting, sir,” he said, his voice cracking slightly on the last word.

Shining nodded as he returned the salute. “At ease, Private. Please, have a seat,” he said, gesturing to the seat in front of the desk.

Pine Needle did so, his eyes glancing down at the floor. Shining allowed the silence to hang for a second or two, before reaching for a report on his desk.

“Now then,” he said as he held it up, “I have here a report from Lieutenant Kodachi, your commanding officer. And I’m afraid she doesn’t have good things to say about your performance as of late.” He looked at Pine over the top of the report. “What do you have to say to that?”

Pine swallowed. “Sh-she doesn’t, sir?”

“No,” Shining replied, “she doesn’t.” He turned back to the report. “Unable to focus during exercises, repeatedly failing to stand to attention during inspections, and it also says here that you had the nerve to snap back at her before she sent you to me.”

He set the report down and frowned, every bit the hard-ass commander. “This isn’t the sort of behaviour that’s tolerated in the Crystal Guard, Private,” he said firmly. “Answering back to a superior officer in particular is considered a serious dereliction. I brought you up here to give you an opportunity to explain yourself.”

Pine bit his lip, feeling a hot bubble of embarrassment build in his belly. Should he tell him?

He coughed. “W-well, sir, it’s just…” He trailed off. “I just…”

“Yes?” Shining prompted.

“It’s just that…”

“Yes?” Shining repeated irritably. “Out with it!”

“I’m just pent up!” Pine blurted, before covering his mouth as his green face flushed a deep red.

Shining regarded him with a raised eyebrow. “’Pent up,’ Private?”

“Y… yes, sir,” Pine mumbled, now looking thoroughly shamefaced. “You know… sexually.”

Ah. Shining understood immediately—he and his fellow recruits had gone through similar woes in Canterlot during their own training. Being away from a mare’s touch for that long would make any red-blooded stallion feel pent up and frustrated before long.

“I see,” he said, sounding a bit more sympathetic. “You’re far from the only one, Private, trust me.”

“No… for me, it’s worse,” Pine insisted. “You see, sir, I… I swing for the other team.”

“Oh?” Shining thought he saw where he was going with this. “And being around all those other stallions in the barracks…”

Pine nodded. “Yes, sir. It’s… frustrating, to say the least,” he added with a small chuckle. “And, um, I’d say that’s why I’ve been… acting out.”

“That may explain your behaviour, Private,” Shining told him, “but it doesn’t excuse it. I expect you to straighten up and fly right from here on out. Understood?”

“Yes, sir,” Pine replied. “Sorry, sir.”

“Good,” Shining nodded. “Dismissed.”

As Pine saluted and turned to leave, however, an idea came to Shining. True, he had experienced the same frustrations that Pine had, but… he and his fellow recruits had found a way to ease the tension. Perhaps he could extend the favour to Pine now?

“Private, wait,” he said, holding up a plump hand.

Pine stopped at the door and turned to face him. “Sir?”

“You know…” Shining said with a smile. “If that frustration really is keeping you from performing your duties, it might be best to deal with it here and now. Maybe I could give you a hand?”

“Give me a hand?” Pine repeated in a puzzled tone, raising an eyebrow. “What do you mean, sir?”

“What I mean…” Shining grunted as he got to his feet, his gelatinous gut wobbling as he did so. “What I mean is that I could help you relieve all that tension.” He leaned his chubby hands on the desk, giving Pine a half-lidded smile. “When I was training to be a guard, the other trainees and I would often, ah… get up nice and close with each other, if you know what I mean.”

“Um…” Pine blushed. “I d-don’t quite follow, sir.”

Shining chuckled. “Alright, I’ll cut to the chase. How would you like to do it with me, right here and now?”

“Wh-wh-wh-whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!” Pine spluttered, his cheeks flushing a deep crimson as he felt his heart suddenly take up residence in his throat. “Y-you w-w-with m-me…?”

“Oh yes,” Shining purred. He waddled around the desk towards Pine, his tubby bare feet padding against the crystalline floor. “Believe me, Pine, I’m no stranger to laying with another stallion. Like I said, you’re far from the only soldier to experience sexual tension.”

“B-b-but… you’re married!” Pine protested.

“Openly married,” Shining corrected him. “Cadance and I have no issues with sleeping with other ponies as long as we’re up front about it with each other.”

“You’re my superior officer!” Pine exclaimed.

“And therefore, what I say goes,” Shining replied airily. “If I say there’s no issue with it, then what’s the problem?”

“I-I-I…” Pine stammered, his heart pounding, his mind racing. Was this really happening?

“Pine.”

Pine felt a hand on his shoulder and looked up to see Shining smiling at him. Not a salacious smile this time, but a comforting one.

“If you really don’t want to, all you have to do is say no,” he said softly, squeezing his shoulder slightly.

Pine looked up into his commander’s eyes… those soft blue eyes, seeing himself reflected in them. He took a look at the layers of soft adipose covering Shining’s body. He bit his lip as he felt his blush returning. Finally, he spoke softly.

“…I really want to.”

“Yeah… I had a hunch,” Shining smiled. Before Pine could react, he found himself being pulled in, his lips meeting Shining’s.

“Mmmph?!” Pine went as he felt Shining wrap his arms around him, holding him close. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he locked lips with his commander, tasting the doughnut frosting on his breath. What really took him by surprise was how soft Shining was… like, seriously soft. He could feel his flab pressing into him, squishing around him like memory foam. And it felt… heavenly. Simply heavenly, with how warm and pillow-like it was. Pine soon found himself melting into the kiss himself, closing his eyes and putting his arms around Shining’s girth as best he could while their tongues danced around each other. He felt Shining’s tongue run along the back of his top row of teeth, before slipping back down towards his own tongue. He let out a soft moan, pulling himself in a bit tighter into their embrace

Eventually, both stallions were forced to come up for air, Pine flushing a light shade of pink as he smiled helplessly up at Shining. “Wow…”

“Heh… you’re not a bad kisser,” Shining cooed. Using his magic, he pulled Pine’s helmet off and set it down beside them.

“Th-thank you, sir-“ he began, before a fat finger was put to his lips.

“Pine, please,” Shining said softly, brushing the back of his mane with his free hand. “For now, call me Shining.”

Pine swallowed. “Thank you… Shining.”

“That’s better,” Shining said as he pulled him in close. Pine couldn’t get over just how gentle his commander was being. Whenever he’d seen Shining in the past, he had been all business, very much the gruff military archetype. Seeing this softer, more sensual side to him was… well, it was something else.

“Now then,” Shining said, licking his lips. “What do you say we get you out of that armour, hmm? Make you feel a bit more… comfortable.”

Pine swallowed, before nodding. Shining’s horn lit up, and Pine suddenly felt a lot cooler as his armour’s straps were undone and the suit itself clattered to the ground.

“Raise your leg,” Shining told him.

Pine did so, feeling a weight lift off his leg as Shining tugged his boot off with his magic, followed by the cool air against his bare fur. Shining did the same with the other boot, setting them both down by the desk next to his own.

“There you go,” Shining said, placing both hands on his shoulders. Pine felt a tingle of electricity shoot up his back as he felt a foot brush against his bare leg. Shining looked him up and down as he continued to rub his foot gently up and down Pine’s shin.

“Not bad,” he said, running a thick finger down Pine’s slim six-pack stomach. “Not bad at all. Okay… now it’s my turn.”

Shining’s horn lit up once again, and Pine’s eyes widened as his commander’s armour clattered to the floor. Now that his armour was gone, Pine could see Shining in all his glorious, flabby glory. He felt his mouth go dry as he stared at Shining’s colossal belly, along with the two distinct folds of fat between them and his flabby arms. Unconsciously, he reached out and placed a hand on one of Shining’s moobs, running a thumb over his large, thick nipple.

Shining chuckled. “Well, between that and your little friend down there, I’m gonna take a wild guess and say that you like what you see.”

Sure enough, Pine was rapidly approaching full mast, his member peeking out eagerly from his crotch. It was a ten-inch, jet-black cylinder of flesh, slenderer than most, but still perfectly serviceable. Bending down as best he could over his belly, Shining gently squeezed it between his finger and thumb. Pine’s face flushed a deep shade of red as he squeezed his eyes shut, letting out a soft moan.

“Okay, let’s just make sure you’re nice and slicked up for me,” Shining said as he levitated over a small bottle of lube, which he kept in his desk for his own “personal time.”

“Wh… you mean I’m going on top?” Pine asked.

“Well, unless you really want me to crush you,” Shining smirked. “Not even Cadance can handle me being on top of her these days.”

“Heh… point taken,” Pine said. He shuddered slightly as Shining rubbed some of the cold lube onto his dick, before spreading a bit around the middle of his own ass.

“Alright… are you ready?” Shining asked.

Pine looked up into those deep blue eyes once more and smiled. “As ready as I’ll ever be, Shining.”

“Well then, let’s not waste any more time,” Shining replied. With that, he turned his back to Pine, allowing Pine a view of his ass… that glorious, glorious ass. A cellulite-pitted crease formed in the middle, separating Shining’s wobbling ass cheeks from the tops of his chunky thunder thighs. Shining placed both chubby hands on the wall, before turning to give Pine a coy, half-lidded smile.

“Take me, Pine.”

Pine needed no second invitation. He gripped Shining by the overblown cutie marks, slipping his cock in between those heavenly soft cheeks. Grunting, he began to thrust, feeling Shining’s belly wobble with each pump he made.

“Oh!” Shining panted, squeezing his eyes shut at the intense pleasure flowing through him. “Oh, that’s amazing… you’ve done this before, haven’t you?”

“Heh… once or twice,” Pine said, panting himself as he increased his tempo. “Faust, you’re tighter than I thought you’d be…”

“Why, thank you,” Shining smiled. He bit his lip as he felt Pine ram himself in almost all the way to the hilt. “That’s it, don’t be shy!”

It was heavenly for the pair of them. Pine and Shining formed a chorus of erotic, aroused moans as they pumped against each other, the slaps of Pine’s thrusts muffled by Shining’s immense flab. Oh Faust, Pine had needed this. He’d needed it for far, far too long.

“Shining!” he said eventually. “I-I’m close!”

“Go on, then,” Shining replied eagerly. “Give it to me.”

“Y-yes, si- ah, aaaaaahhhhhh…!” Pine gasped as he felt himself finally tip over the edge. He threw his head back as he shot a hot load of spunk into Shining’s rear end, feeling it spill out around his cock. At the same time, Shining felt himself shoot his own load beneath his fupa, letting out a cry of ecstasy as he squeezed his eyes shut tight.

With a wet plap, Pine slid out, and both stallions took a moment to catch their breath.

“So… was it good for you?” Shining asked eventually with a slight chuckle.

Pine smiled as he gave him a quick peck on the cheek. “Yes, sir.”
