Taming Strange. Or: How I learned to stop worrying and make love in public

Octavia woke in her room. She was laying on her side and saw a pair of white hooves in front of her. She turned towards the ceiling and saw herself reflected in the eyes she loved so much.

She could've spent the rest of her life in that moment. Just studying every facet of those flawless rubies. She reached a hoof up to gently caress Vinyl's face. The unicorn kissed the hoof as it reached her muzzle. "Sup grey?" She whispered.

The tender moment was interrupted by a flood of memory hitting her all at once. Octavia lept to her hooves like a scared cat and stammered. "V-v-v-Vinyl! What are you doing here?"

Vinyl Scratch pouted slightly at the sudden interruption of their snuggling. She teased "You don't seem very happy to see me?" Octavia moved back to the bed and kissed Vinyl gently in apology. "That's better." The DJ cooed. She patted the bed for Octavia to join her.

The cellist was unsure. This was the first time she'd had a. . . mare in her room? She still wasn't fully reconciled to the idea she was madly in love with somepony of her own sex. She was on uneven ground, but she had just admitted to being in love with this pony so it didn't seem inappropriate.

She blushed slightly as she scrambled up onto the too small for two bed next to her mare. Vinyl scooted closer and the two sat for a while just enjoying the contact. Vinyl laid her head on Octavia's and sighed contentedly.

The DJ was on uneven ground. This was the first time she had cuddled for the sake of cuddling. Any other time it was wham bam thank you ma'am now politely bugger off, but she had just admitted to her bros that she was in love with this pony so it didn't seem inappropriate. Finally Octavia broke the comfortable silence. "Vinyl. How much did you hear?"

The unicorn chuckled as she teased. "Babe, I heard EVERYTHING. You're in love, Celestia help you, you're in love!" She held the earth pony close as she buried her face in her hooves.

"Mmms thmmmt mmmkmmm" Octavia said, face still buried in her hooves. Vinyl gently lifted Octavia's chin and stared deeply into her violet eyes.

"Hhm?" The DJ asked, now noticing tears poised ready to fall in the corners of the cellist's eyes.

Octavia had to look away. Those eyes did things to her. Things she liked, but right now she needed to focus. She breathed in deeply to compose herself. "Is. . . Is that okay?"

Vinyl brought a hoof up the cellist's face, and wiped the tears out of the corners of her eyes before they could fall. "Would I have stuck around if it weren't?" The unicorn said then gave the earth pony a comforting kiss.

Octavia put her head to Vinyl's heart. She couldn't bear to look at her while she asked the most important question of her young life. She slammed her eyes shut and asked in a timid broken voice. "Then do you?" She couldn't even finish the question.

The cellist waited, and with her ear to the DJ's chest she could hear her heart pounding, and a deep intake of breath. She heard through her chest rather than from her mouth that Vinyl had said something but Octavia couldn't understand what was said.

She raised her head and tried to make eye contact but Vinyl Scratch wouldn't meet her gaze. It was Vinyl's turn to mumble and look away. So it became Octavia's turn to hold her muzzle in place and demand an answer.

Twin trails ran down the white unicorn's muzzle. Her chest heaved. She was the baddest bitch in Canterlot. Slayer of bitches and dropper of bass. Yet here she was, getting all choked up over some high class piece of ass. But that was the worst part. This was all she wanted in the world. Just to be here with her. To be held by her. To kiss her. To hear her say those fancy words that made her feel high. Vinyl Scratch couldn't even say the words. She just nodded.

Octavia grabbed Vinyl's head and pressed her lips as hard as she could against hers. Octavia was not a veteran kisser, but passion produced what experience lacked. Vinyl pushed her gently off. "Easy girl!" She massaged her muzzle with her hoof.

"Umm sorry I've uuhm." Octavia grew red for the umpteenth time. "I'm new at this."

Vinyl's eyes narrowed. "How new?" She said suspiciously.

"Well, when you kissed me the night we met. That was." She fiddled with her hooves. "My first kiss."

Vinyl's jaw metaphorically hit the floor. Her eyes went wide. She felt like she had done something bad. She disconnected and stared at the virgin pony. "H-h-h-how?" Octavia was about to ask what she meant when the unicorn's volume increased dramatically. "HOW THE FUCK HAS THE FINEST PIECE OF ASS IN EQUESTRIA NEVER GOTTEN LAID?!"

The virgin cellist went through several emotions very quickly. Annoyance at the volume, annoyance at the comment about her sexual prowess, a slight joy at being called fine, and a sense of exasperation that her first love was the kind of mare that put stock by that sort of thing. She grinned ironically.

"Well I guess it's because nopony is as fine as you." She said dripping with sarcasm, her head resting on her hoof. The unicorn just continued to stare at her, mouth agape. Octavia grew concerned. "Is something wrong?" She asked, dropping the ironical smile.

Vinyl wasn't sure how to proceed. For the life of her she couldn't remember her first time. As far as she knew she'd never been with a virgin. She looked at the mare stretched out on the bed waiting for her. The DJ realized all at once it was a first for her too. This was the first time she'd ever been in love. A knowing smile stretched across her face.

She moved back to the bed and started to kiss Octavia on the side of the neck moving up towards her face. The cellist's mind went blank and she arced her neck to make room for the attention. She closed her eyes and savoured every press of Vinyl's lips against her neck. The angle of which she held her head put her eyes in the path of the slits of light coming through the blinds.

A vague hazy thought noticed that the sun was higher in the sky than it had been. "That's odd." Octavia's hind brain thought. "The sun went backwards in the sky. That usually doesn't happen. Maybe this should concern us." Her forebrain wanted to just relax and let the DJ go about her work but it begrudgingly accepted the need for clarification.

She gently pulled away from her DJ and asked. "Umm Vinyl. What time is HA!" She moaned slightly as Vinyl gently pulled on the skin of her neck with her teeth. She rolled the cellist onto her back and started kissing her down her stomach.

For reasons she was unsure of, the unicorn decided to answer between kisses. "It's like. Fivish? You slept. All night. And all. Day."

This snapped Octavia out of her sensual daze. She pushed Vinyl off and stared at her blankly. "It's tomorrow?"

The door was practically bucked off of its hinges as the cellist burst through it, scaring the living bejesus out of her dorm mates in the living room. Vinyl was left hot and bothered on the bed by herself. This mare was going to be the death of her. She quickly got over the throbbing in her loins and chased after her mare.
