Being ruler of all the land isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
Celestia blinked slowly, maintaining the smile on her face. She honestly didn’t have any real right to complain. She could fly, use magic, towered over nearly every last one of her citizens, and there was that whole Princess for Life thing she had going. But, being a public figure, she had to keep up her public image. Warm and motherly, a smile, big or small, at all times.
Celestia sat quietly at the edge of the library, surveying the scene before her. Twilight Sparkle, her most wonderful student, was prancing around with her new friends. The six ponies, and one dragon, talked excitedly amongst themselves about their adventure. Celestia nodded and shook hooves, or bumped them in the cases of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie. It was an informal affair, which was normally something Celestia enjoyed, but at that particular moment she wished it was only her and one other pony.
Luna, still as nervous as ever, stood at the far side of the room. She looked for all the world like a frightened cat, smiling and nodding at any who approached her, but ready to bolt for the exits at the first opportunity. Luna looked across the room, her gaze meeting Celestia’s. She didn’t say anything or mouth any words, but the look was enough to tell Celestia that Luna desperately wanted to leave.
Celestia felt exactly the same way, she just hid it better.
Celestia leaned down and whispered conspiratorial in Twilight’s ear. “I think I best get Luna back to the palace. There’s a lot to catch her up on.”
Twilight nodded back, obviously sad to see her mentor go, but understanding all the same. Celestia trotted around the edge of the room, making her way to Luna. Ponies silently moved out of her path, glancing furtively at her as she passed. She soon reached Luna, lightly bumped the smaller Alicorn with her shoulder. Celestia indicated the door with a motion of her head, Luna nodded ever so slightly in response.
The two sisters quickly exited the library, trotting to the royal carriage sat in the middle of the street. Celestia allowed Luna to enter first, telling the Pegasi pulling the carriage to head for Canterlot. She then ducked into the carriage herself, taking a seat opposite Luna.
They didn’t speak while the Pegasus guards took off, the carriage vibrating as it became airborne. Wind and clouds whipped by the windows as the Pegasi climbed through the air, finally leveling out high above the ground. Celestia glanced out the window, watching as Ponyville became a collection of small, toy-like structures far below.
As the town faded into the distance, Celestia turned her attention back to Luna. Her sister sat in the middle of the velvet seats, staring intently at the floor. Celestia opened her mouth to say something, only to close it again. What was she supposed to say? ‘Hi, welcome home. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?’
“Celestia?” Luna croaked shattering the silence.
Celestia hesitated before answering. “Yes.”
“I...” Luna started before faltering. “I wanted to say that I am sorry. For everything.”
“No Luna,” Celestia shook her head. “It is I who should be sorry. I… I made a mistake. More than one, truly. The blame does not fall on you.”
“Nobel of you to say, Sister,” Luna remarked, sniffling and raising her head to meet Celestia’s gaze. “But not entirely true.” Luna glanced out the window, watching the moonlit clouds go by, like she was seeing them for the first time. “I do not wish to argue. Perhaps we can agree to share the blame together?”
Celestia gave a tired smile. “I think I can agree to that.”
Silence stretched out between the them again, Luna watching the sky and the land through the window and Celestia watching Luna. If that moment had stretched on into eternity, Celestia wouldn’t have lifted a hoof to stop it.
They arrived at the palace either an hour or a year later, Celestia could not truly tell. She did not care much either. The carriage landed smoothly, coming to a gentle stop on in the landing platform in front of the palace. Celestia opened the door, disembarking first and moving around the carriage to speak to her guards.
“Your job for the night is finished. Please, go get some rest.”
The Pegasi nodded in what seemed like practiced unison. Celestia half expected protests, her normal contingent of palace guards had yet to arrive to escort her. However, it seemed these ponies had picked up on Celestia’s desire to be alone with her sister.
Celestia turned to see said sister shuffle down onto the marble-coated ground. Luna regarded said ground for a few moments before moving her gaze from it up to the towering spires and sprawling structures of the palace itself. Celestia didn’t say a word, merely watching Luna as she took in her surroundings.
“Princess Celestia,” a familiar voice declared itself, pulling Celestia from her Luna-watching.
Celestia turned around to see that the Palace Guard had indeed come to escort her, led by Shining Armor no less.
“Captain,” Celestia acknowledged him with a slight inclination of her head. “I am surprised to see you here so late.”
“It’s not that late,” Shining said, stifling a yawn. “Besides, after what happened at the Summer Sun Celebration I had to-” he stopped mid-sentence, having spied Luna. “Princess, who is this?”
“Ah, my apologies.” Celestia trotted over to stand beside Luna. “This is my sister, Captain. Luna, allow me to introduce you to my Captain of the Guard, Shining Armor.”
“Sister?” Shining repeated, peering at Luna like she was an animal he had never seen before.
Luna noticed his staring and huffed. “Is the concept so incomprehensible to you, Captain?”
“What? No, of course not!” Shining withered under Luna’s gaze, his eyes desperate to look anywhere else. “I just, uh, I didn’t know you had a sister, Princess.”
It was Celestia’s turn to receive a glare. “You did not tell them about me?”
Celestia chuckled nervously, waving her hoof in some attempt to wave off any argument. “I may have neglected to mention it before. We will have a proper meeting about it in the morning, Captain. For the moment, I would like to get some rest and I suspect Luna feels the same.”
Shining nodded and stood up straight, falling back on routine. “Right, we’ll just escort you to your-”
“We would prefer to be alone, Captain.” Celestia said gently yet firmly.
Shining hesitated for a moment, but seemed reluctant to argue. “As you wish, Princess. It was, uh, very nice to meet you, Luna.”
“Princess Luna,” Luna kept the scowl up for a second before her face softened into a smile. “And the feeling is mutual, Captain.”
Shining just nodded, suddenly appearing eager to leave the two sisters alone. He turned and marched his troops away from the platform, towards the barracks. Luna giggled and Celestia couldn’t help but smile.
“I see your taste in Guard Captains has not changed, Sister,” Luna remarked as she watched Shining go.
“And what is that supposed to mean?” Celestia said with a quirked eyebrow.
Luna smiled and shook her head. “You know very well what it means. I can only assume you have already broken him in, then.”
“I am sure I have no idea what you are referring to.” Celestia snorted, though a smile remained on her lips. “If you are finished questioning my promotion intentions, I can show you inside.”
Luna nodded. “Please do, Sister. I would like to see if the interior is as gaudy as the exterior.”
Celestia smiled and shook her head as she walked towards the doors. “I take it you do not like the aesthetic.”
“Untrue, Sister,” Luna said, falling into step beside her sister. “It’s size and blinding alabaster coloring are a perfect representation of your own form. I confess, I was not looking in this direction as we approached. But, from a distance, I imagine the whole thing has your shape as well. The buttresses there clearly serving as your-”
It seemed, even after a millennia of separation, Luna still knew how to push Celestia’s buttons. And knew to duck the wing swipe aimed at her head.
“Oh my,” Luna said as she stepped into the room. “This is… indulgent to say the least.”
Celestia, not for the first time that evening, felt a little self-conscious. She shook off the feeling and moved into the room, closing the door behind her and trying to maintain a neutral expression.
The room was Celestia’s personal bedroom, private and hidden away on the far side of the palace, away from her more well known quarters. Much of the room, the walls, the ceiling, the plush carpet, was a soft, creamy white. The only splash of color was the exceptionally large bed, its sheets and blankets a deep, velvety red. A dozen or so candles placed around the room provided light adequate, almost romantic lighting.
“I take it that you do not approve,” she said as Luna approached the bed.
“Oh, quite the contrary,” Luna replied, hopping onto the bed and walking around on it before plopping down. “Ah, my memory might be suspect, but I cannot recall ever laying on something so soft.” She folded her fore-hooves and laid her lead on them. “So… where are you sleeping?”
Celestia smirked. “Are you so bold to assume I will simply allow you to steal my bed?”
Luna hid her mouth beneath her hooves, her tail swishing behind her. “Pardon me, Tia, but it appears to be my bed now.”
Celestia shook her head and trotted over to the bed, stopping just at the foot of it. “Going back to old nicknames, are we Lulu?”
“I felt it... appropriate. It is just the two of us now, is it not?”
“Indeed,” Celestia replied simply, a strange silence stretching out between the two after that.
Luna broke it with an awkward cough, standing up on the bed. “So then, I can only assume you have a room laid out for me?”
Celestia opened her mouth to say that yes, she had ensured that there was always a room available for her little sister at the palace. But she hesitated. Celestia had already spent countless nights without her sister by her side. It was selfish, perhaps, but she could not allow herself to be alone yet again.
“I am afraid I neglected to do so.”
“Oh,” Luna frowned, looking down at her hooves. “Well, I am sure that a guest room-”
“You could sleep with me,” Celestia said quickly. Perhaps too quickly.
Luna’s gaze snapped back up to Celestia, her eyes a bit wide. She quickly fell back into a more neutral, almost bored expression. “I suppose I could,” she said, looking over the bed. “But, are you sure there will be room for me and your large posterior?”
Celestia snorted. “It is quite large bed, Lulu.”
“I am aware, Tia, but… the size of your-”
Another ducked wing swipe. Luna giggled, oblivious to the glow coming from Celestia’s horn. The older of the two sisters pulled the sheet out from under the younger’s hooves, making her fall onto her back with her legs waving comically in the air.
“You seem rather focused on my butt, Lulu.” Celestia remarked as she circled around the bed, hardly paying any attention to her sister’s impression of a turtle.
“It is a difficult thing to miss, Tia.” Luna replied, rolling back onto her front and moving up to the pillows. She was quick to slide herself beneath the covers and snuggle up against one of the numerous pillows.
Celestia ‘humph’ed, pulling the collective blankets back before getting into the bed and laying down facing Luna. “I am beginning to suspect you are jealous.”
“And I suspect the same of you. Or would you have me believe you do not pine for a svelte body such as mine?” Luna propped her head up with a hoof, laying in an almost provocative pose.
“I do not know what you mean.” Celestia said rather lamely, averting her gaze.
“You seem flustered, Tia,” Luna said teasingly, scooting closer. “Is it me that is causing such a thing?”
“You know very well that you are. But…” Celestia swallowed thickly. “But, perhaps we should not do this.”
“Why?” Celestia felt Luna’s hoof rub against her chest beneath the blankets. “Do not tell me that sisterly love no longer that fashion.”
Celestia gasped, feeling her body heat up at Luna’s mere touch. “Lulu, that is not what this is.”
“What can it be if not love?” Luna asked, inching closer and pressing her supple form against Celestia. “In the moments when my mind was clear, I thought of you. I thought of the love I so foolishly squandered. I thought of this moment, when I could again be close to you, touch you, taste you…”
Luna wrapped her fore-hooves around Celestia’s body, hugging her close while her back leg moved between Celestia’s. Luna giggled as Celestia squirmed, tracing her hoof up er big sister’s thigh.
“You brought me here,” Luna said teasingly, delighting in tormenting her sister. “Did you think I failed to notice the lack of guards at the door? Or this big, soft bed? This is not a room you sleep in, Tia. This is a room you fuck in.”
Celestia gasped. Hearing Luna say such a vulgar thing in her sweet voice, it was exciting. And the hoof between her legs was getting dangerously close to her marehood. Celestia could already feel the dampness growing there, her body responding to Luna’s touch.
“It is true. All of it.” Celestia whispered, as though afraid the walls would hear her. “I want this, Lulu. I want you.”
Luna smiled, a sweet, genuine smile. It was a sight Celestia had longed to see for so long. “Kiss me, Tia.”
Celestia leaned down, pressing her lips to Luna’s, wrapping her legs around her. Luna leaned into the kiss, parting her lips and sticking her tongue into Celestia’s mouth. Celestia pushed back her with her own, larger tongue, invading Luna’s mouth and crushing her adversary beneath her.
Luna moaned, now the one who was squirming under the loving touch of her sister. Her slow teasing broke down and she firmly pressed her knee into Celestia’s groin. The elder Alicorn was wet and warm, dampening the fur on Luna’s leg.
Celestia flinched, pulling out of the kiss as her breath caught in her her throat. Luna none too gently rubbed her pussy, sending stabbing bolts of pleasure up her spine. Celestia couldn’t remember something feeling so damn good. Had it really been so long?
And suddenly, the rubbing stopped, eliciting a needy groan from Celestia. She felt Luna slip out of her grasp, vanishing beneath the covers. Celestia sucked down heated air, trying to force out the words to ask just why in Tartarus Luna has stopped. But before she could actually voice the question, she got her answer, feeling the lips of her pussy gently spread by a warm magical field.
“So wet, Tia. Hardly befit of a Princess.”
Celestia gritted her teeth, trying and failing to maintain some degree of dignity as she felt more and more of Luna’s magic surround her marehood. The force pushed into her, opening her up and touching every inch of her velvet passage at once. She grabbed a pillow with her hooves and bit down on the plush cushion as Luna magically assaulted her.
She squealed when she felt Luna lick her inner thigh.
“You taste better than I remember.” Luna remarked, loudly smacking her lips.
Tremors shook Celestia’s body as Luna kissed her way up the elder sister’s legs. Luna’s deliciously hot magic continued to slip and slide over her most sensitive flesh as the mare herself nibbled on Celestia’s puffy vaginal lips. Celestia’s head jerked back as she came, tearing the pillow open and sending hundreds of feathers into the air. Luna let out a delighted laugh, pressing her facing into her sister’s folds and lapping up her juices as they spilled forth.
Celestia’s muscles turned to jelly and she fell limp against one of the remaining pillows, panting and dripping sweat. The blankets were suddenly thrown off as Luna stood up, licking her lips as marecum dripped down her chin. She trotted back up to the head of the bed, plopping down next to her sister.
“So messy,” Luna said, wiping her mouth.
“Sweet Faust, Lulu,” Celestia breathed, the cool night air soothing on her exposed body. “I have not felt that good in… I cannot even say.”
“It pleases me to please you, Tia,” Luna giggled, still licking herself clean.
“I am so happy you are home,” Celestia smiled, managing to gather the strength to lift her head.
“And I am happy to be home,” Luna replied, scooting closer and laying her head against Celestia’s chest. “Although, It is strange, being so much smaller than you,” Luna added, a tinge of embarrassment in her voice.
“But there are benefits,” Celestia said with a grin, easily picking Luna up and spinning her around.
Luna let out a yelp at being so casually tossed around, followed by a moan as Celestia stuck her muzzle between Luna’s legs. “T-Tia!”
“Mmmm,” Celestia moaned into Luna pussy, sliding her her thick, wide tongue across her sister’s slick folds. Luna had clearly been enjoying teasing Celestia, the younger Alicorn’s groin was practically drenched in fluids. Celestia lapped them all up eagerly, drinking down the sweet, tangy secretions.
“Tia, s-slow down!” Luna begged, squirming both to get away and also somehow grind herself harder on her sister’s tongue.
Celestia did no such thing. Instead, she took advantage of the size difference between herself and Luna, clamping her mouth over the whole of Luna’s groin. Her tongue speared Luna’s pussy, plunging hard and deep into her depths.
Luna didn’t manage any words, only a sharp cry as she came. Celestia’s eyes opened wide as hot marecum hit the back of her throat. She sputtered and coughed, pulling away from Luna and catching more of fluid across the face. She pushed Luna away, covering her mouth until her coughing subsided.
Celestia blinked away the tears in her eyes, her vision clearing to reveal Luna laying on her back, tongue hanging from her mouth and eyes unfocused with pleasure.
“I take it you enjoyed that?” Celestia croaked, magically lifting her little sister up and placing her head on the pillow next to her.
“Mm-hm,” Luna nodded, slurping her tongue back into her mouth. “Spirits, I have been waiting for that for so long.”
“Happy to provide,” Celestia smiled. She turned her attention away from Luna to the bed. The blankets were bunched up on the floor, the sheets were stained with cum, and feathers were scattered everywhere. “And happy we did this in the reserve bed.”
Luna didn’t reply, merely snuggling into her pillow, moaning quietly. Celestia shook her head and casted a quick clean-up spell. The wet spots dried out in an instant and the feathers gathered themselves up into a neat little pile in the corner of the room, their torn former housing beside them. Next she gathered up the blankets in her magic, laying them back over herself and Luna.
Celestia reached out a hoof, wrapping it around Luna and pulling her close. Luna smiled, nuzzling into the base of Celestia’s neck. Celestia leaned down, resting her chin on Luna’s head. Another quick spell extinguished all the candles in the room.
“Goodnight, Tia. I love you.”
“Goodnight, Lulu. I love you more.”
