A fresh start for something to just pass the time. What will Juniper do to Sunset at the college I wonder? And how will she deal with Wallflower Blush? Findout next time!

Warm Mornings

Mornings are a very special time of the day.

For many its that time when you get up for work, school, and just life in general. For me, it’s a special time of the day, and it’s something I’d never trade in for all the wealth, and fame in the world.

I’m Juniper Montage.

I’m twenty-four years old, an aspiring movie director, full time college student, and partner to my love and grace Sunset Shimmer. Today was like any other day since I hooked up with my beloved, sunshine. I awoke from a deep rest laying in the king sized bed in Sunset’s apartment.

Laying at my side was Sunset wearing a light magenta tank top, with her arms wrapped around my waist. My head lay on her chest with my ear pressed against her. The sound and rhythm of her beating heart was music to my ears, and made me feel safe. Sunset had a strong heart. Her kindness knew no bounds, despite her unsavory past, and now she was more than the shadow of her former self. She was a full grown self made individual, and I was her right hand in everything she did now and forever.

After we graduated High School we made our best efforts to get into the same college together to pursue careers in the movie making industry. It was a difficult road to travel, but we persevered and made it in the end. I leaned in and rested on her chest feeling her light breathing over my hair was a nice feeling. It made me feel safe. My own little bubble of protection from the harsh world that could never be broken. Sure, we had our fights, but any healthy relationship had those. Today was going to be a great day and I intended to enjoy every moment of it.

As I closed my eyes once more to rest I felt Sunset’s arms wrap around my waist. Her fingers danced around my hips and skimmed the inside of my shorts. I grinned and playfully slapped her hands making them jolt out and quickly retract. I slowly batted my eyes open and looked up to see Sunset eyes meet my own. Her teal eyes were warm and welcoming and I became entranced by them. She smiled and leaned in to kiss my forehead. Her hands rubbing my cheeks as she did, and I gently grabbed both with my own and kissed her wrists. I then pulled her arms around my waist again, guiding them around me to a gentle embrace before returning the embrace with my own.

Me kept eye contact for what felt like a blissful eternity. Never in my life have I ever felt so complete. When I was with Sunset I knew I could take on the world and have nothing to fear. She was a mighty lioness, and I her loyal follower and lover. Leaning in I kissed her neck just below her jaw. I heard her giggle in response and felt her grip on my waist tighten, and thus pulling us closer together.

“Good morning, junebug,” She said softly to me. “Sleep well?”

I nodded kissing her once more on her neck and then once on her soft lips.

“Yeah, I slept well,” I said resting my head once more to her chest.

“These are my favorite pillows,” I said rubbing my face into Sunset’s ample bosom.

Even though my eyes were closed I could see the annoyed look she always gave me when I did this to her. Yet, she would always smile and pet my head when I did, and that always made me feel giddy inside. Then on que she started stroking my hair with her hand. Her fingers running through my long green hair. I ran my own hand through the thick mess of red and golden locks of hair. Unlike my hair Sunset’s was silky smooth to the touch, mine was coarse and rough no matter what I did. I enjoyed the act of feeling her hair and the sensation of closeness it gave me.

I wanted to stay like this forever; however, there came a recorded sound of our alarm clock going off but seconds later. The horrid beeping riled me up inside. How dare that stupid clock ruin my moment with my, sunflower!? I thought, wishing doom upon the clock.

Sunset turned to reach over and shut the alarm off, and thus I had to release her from my embrace to do so. Annoyed as I was, I knew it would come eventually. That’s why I cherish these moments. These were the best moments of the day for me, and I knew they were hers too. Once the beeping of the clock were silenced Sunset rolled over to face me once more. Her smile never fading. She had a beautiful smile, one I wish I could match.

“Don’t ever doubt yourself, junebug. You’re a beautiful too. Don’t ever think or let anyone tell you otherwise,” She said to me in the softest tone I ever heard.

I felt my cheeks burn as the words ran through my head. I must have looked shocked as well, because the next thing I knew Sunset had me in her arms giggling at my reaction. She pressed her nose against my hair gently running her fingers through my dark green hair. Instantly I felt at ease, but it always baffled me how she knew what I was thinking! I knew she had magic but how could she know how I felt all the time? Then it dawned on me that she had mind reading magic of some kind. If I recalled correctly it worked by touch when she had her special necklace on. I came to the conclusion this was the most likely way she knew how I felt.

Sunset shook her head and rolled over again. I cocked my head listening as I heard the drawer next ot eh bed slide open then close. Sunset then rolled back to face me again, but this time she held up her gem from the string in her hand. I went cross eyed staring at it when she giggled again.

“Juniper, I don’t need my magic to know what you’re thinking. I was good at reading people long before I even got this magic gem,” She said kindly to me, putting the necklace on.

Sunset rubbed my cheek affectionately as I purred in her hand.

“I know you have issues getting your feelings out, but I know you better than that. If you ever want to talk Juniper, I am always available to listen.”

I stared at the gem then back to Sunset. I thought about how useful something like that could be. I was then reminded of my own past experience with magic. I regret having almost destroyed my Sunset’s friends, but at the same time I knew if I didn’t do it I’d never have met her and fallen in love with her.

I looked down at the gem resting on her large chest. It was bright red carefully wrapped with a metal bail in the shape of a sun with rays coming off it. It was a beautiful stone and a perfect fit for her. I reached for it to touch it and Sunset immediately took hid it under her shirt.

“I don’t think so, junebug.” She said waving a finger at me. “You can’t use my like that, and even if you could you’re still grounded from magic use.”

I pouted socking Sunset in the shoulder, but not to hard. Just enough to let her know I was seriously peeved, but not too much. Sunset groaned getting up from the bed and allowing the covers to slide off her. She stretched her arms over her and let out a loud yawn over me. I took the minute to admire her figure. Her strong abs peeked out from under her shirt and I ended up staring longer than I know I should have. Sunset playfully tugged her shirt down hiding her abs from view giving me a wink.

“Meanie,” I said rolling sideways.

I kicked my legs up and off the side of the bed. I stretched and felt my stiff joints crack as I did giving me a sense of tension relief that I really needed. I heard Sunset step off the bed, her bare feet patting on the wooden floors as she walked down the steps to the base floor of her living room and headed to the kitchen.

“Don’t worry, if you behave I’ll let you see more,” She said walking away with a sultry tone pulling her sweat pants down to show me some skin.

I blushed again, and my mind raced with perverse thoughts I had to stash away. I quickly turned to hide my shameless blush and made the bed alone while Sunset made breakfast in the kitchen. I threw off the comforters and replaced the sheets with fresh sheets. It was that time of the week to do the laundry which was my duty. I was horrible at cooking so Sunset and I agreed to divide all home chores dependent on what we can and can’t do. I did laundry and she did cooking.

When I finished making the bed I walked down with the dirty sheets in hand and made my way to the laundry nook. The nook was right next to the bed, on the same wall in fact, and was between the bathroom door. I liked this setup personally. It meant I could wake up, make the bed, start the laundry, and then go straight to a warm shower right after. Which is exactly what I did.

I placed the bed sheets into the washing machine, added soap, and detergent, and closed it. Once that was done I climbed back up the stairs to the bed area. Staying on all fours I crawled over to my drawer and pulled out a skort skirt green socks, and a short sleeved button up shirt green with black stripes. Once I made my selection I took a quick shower and joined Sunset at the table for a nice hearty breakfast. While I loved her cooking this time we had a simple breakfast consisting of toast, scrambled eggs, and a little bacon.

As we ate I heard beeping come from Sunset. She had her fork in her mouth and used her hands to pull out her phone and swipe it. Placing a phone on her shoulder and cheek, sunset managed to take the fork and placed it on her plate while answering the phone.

“Hello?”

There was a few moments of silence that followed. I watched as Sunset smiled suddenly to whoever she was talking too.

“Oh, Wallflower it’s nice to hear from you again! Uh huh, yeah I can still help with the movie ad. Yeah, Juniper and I are just having breakfast and then we’ll grab our gear and head to the college to start filming.”

Wallflower, I remember Sunset mentioning her the other day. For our midterm project we had to do a short film on something that had to be at least five minutes long. I remember when we brainstormed ideas she was approached by this Wallflower via a text message to help her with advertising for the college gardening club. Of course Sunset being the way she is said she’d help without a second thought. I admit I wasn’t fond of doing an advertisement for our project, but we weren’t getting anywhere with our own brainstorming.

“-yeah, I’m sure Juniper and you will get along great Wallflower! She is a love and she also loves to dabble in gardening!” I caught Sunset saying while I was deep in thought. “Yeah, we’ll see you all then. Bye!”

Sunset disconnected the call and placed her phone face down on the table next to her plate and continued eating. Twirling my fork I finished my own food and waited for Sunset to finish hers. She was about half way done when I decided to speak to end the silence.

“So, who exactly is this Wallflower you were speaking to?” I asked my girlfriend. “I know she’s the one who asked us to help her, but I don’t know her. Who is she?”

Sunset swallowed her mouthful of food and had a sip of water before she answered. No doubt to wet her whistle before giving me a lengthy explanation on who this person was.

“Oh, she’s an old friend from High School. She was, a very troubled person. But she’s better now. You probably don’t know her because she was a very shy girl. Even more than Fluttershy, if you can believe that,” She said taking another bite of her food.

I sat in befuddlement at the last few words, sunshine, said to me. I knew Fluttershy well enough to know how shy she was. I even knew she was worse before, but someone more shy than her? I wasn’t completely sure of that. If I didn’t know my, sunshine, better I would have said I was being punked. I knew better though. Sunset was no liar and I believed her. I must have been very deep in thought, because before I knew it I was being lifted off the seat by two powerful hands. I gasp flailing my arms wildly as Sunset pulled me into a hug from behind. My feet dangling uselessly inches from the ground.

I looked back at Sunset’s smiling face. I replied by giving her the biggest pouty lip I could and crossed my arms locking her arms with mine. She smiled down at me and pressed a leg between mine. Her hands gently massaged my sides working down to my hips where she gripped me and held me in place then leaned to kiss my neck once before pulling back.

“Jerk,” I said in a low tone.

“You know you love me,” I heard Sunset say in my ear. “And I know you like it when I toss you around like a ragdoll.”

For the third time I blushed scoffing indignantly.

“I - I, don’t be absurd! I do not!” I cried out, struggling to break free.

All this got me was amused laughter from my girlfriend and a firm kiss on my cheek. Then I was tossed unceremoniously onto the bed bouncing on the firm mattress before I was caught by Sunset. She rolled on top of me careful enough not to crush me under her and straddled me. My hair fluttered as I was pulled into Sunset’s arms. She leaned back pulling me with her as she landed on her back and I was now on top. My face pressed against her supple breasts and all I felt was an intense heat in my cheeks both from her warm breasts and the burning blush I had.

“Watch your step, junebug. I don’t want you to get hurt on my watch.” Sunset said.

Before I could respond she leaned in and kissed my lips firmly. She held me there for a few seconds and I felt my heart melt. I was putty in her hands and I placed my hands on her cheeks holding her in place as I embraced the kiss. I felt her try and pull away but my grip held true for a few more seconds before I released her.

“Guess we should get ready and go meet this Wallflower girl,” I say in a grumpy tone.

Sunset gives me a nudge and a stern look that made me almost apologize out of habit. I managed to hold it back which only served to get me a disappointed look from her.

“Juniper, what am I gonna do with you?” Sunset asked ruffling my hair.

I gasped swatting her hands away and glared at her for messing up my hair.

“I just fixed my hair! Now I gotta do it all over again!” I whined glaring at Sunset.

She gave me that usual shit eating grin that annoyed me to no end. She leaned in and nipped my neck gently with her teeth and pulled away smiling at me, caressing my cheek.

“Then after we help Wallflower, IF you behave I might indulge you tonight with some fun in the shower,” She said in a very sultry tone that sent shivers down my spine.

Images of her naked body came to mind. Her tone abs combined with her well defined arms and me shiver and my leg quiver with anticipation. As I watched her go get ready if felt an intense heat in my loins. Just as my imagination ran wild my hands were reaching for my pants when Sunset came into view with her boots on and ready to go.

“Juniper! Not right now! We gotta go!” She said in a playful tone running out the door.

I growled gripping my hands into fists. She did that on purpose! She got me excited knowing I was going to be pent up until we got back! Worse yet I could feel a dampness between my legs too! Well, two can play that game, Sunset Shimmer! I got up furious and quickly stripped my clothes off. I changed into some daisy dukes, and red and black plaid button up shirt with a black tank top underneath. Glancing at myself in the mirror I completed my outfit with some knee high socks and boots to match. I was ready and made sure to get my “extra short” daisy dukes. Satisfied I smiled at myself knowing this would rile up Sunset for sure!

Taking my truck keys I ran out after Sunset with what was left of our equipment ready to tackle the day. While getting some much needed revenge!

I really love mornings!
