Eyes on Me

Rainbow sat with Spike under her arm on the lower bench. The boy was utterly spent, his chest heaving with every breath, and his head fell back onto her shoulder. Basking in the afterglow of the greatest sex she’d ever experienced was great, but she knew not to press their luck. They had spent far too long in the sauna and not been caught. It was really in their best interest to leave, but she couldn’t help spending a little more time with Spike and milking the moment.

“Rainbow?” She raised an eyebrow at him. That was the first time she’d heard Spike say a word since they wrestled. “We... I mean, I... You’re not going to get pregnant, are you?”

A smile crossed her lips, and she chuckled lightly. It wasn’t exactly the question she was expecting so soon, but his concerns were warranted. “No... Don’t you worry about it, babe. I’ll straighten everything out.”

Spike looked relieved. “Oh... So we could do that again, and you wouldn’t get pregnant?”

Rainbow’s heart leaped in her chest. “You... want to go at it again?”

He shrugged his shoulders. “Only if you do... Later, I mean.”

The athlete let out a long sign as she stroked a finger up and down the length of Spike’s arm. She was hardly able to contain the smile that was forcing its way onto her face. “You know, Spike... if we do this again, and even more times after that, we’re gonna have to just start dating.”

Spike managed a chuckle and sat upright, freeing himself from her grip but allowing the both of them to really look into each other’s eyes. “I figured as much.” He took both of her hands in his, rubbing his thumbs over the backs of her wrists. “It’s hard to admit, but over the past years I’ve had a crush on Rarity, I never really thought about anyone else.” He look as though he was struggling to get the words out. “I mean... I really do like you, but I don’t want you to think it’s just because we... we...”

Rainbow was on the verge of tears, but she sniffled them back and threw her arms around the younger man, pulling him in to a tight embrace and holding him firmly. “Oh, Spike... It’s okay, baby... I’ve wanted you to notice me for so long, but you have now, so everything’s gonna be okay...”

It took what little remained of her willpower not to cry in front of Spike, but she truly was in a vulnerable state. She shuddered as the boy began rubbing her back. It was the display of affection she’d always craved, and it felt joyous. Rainbow pulled back, only slightly, and she pressed her lips into Spike’s.

The flood gates broke, and tears of joy streamed from the corners of her eyes as she shared a loving kiss with her new boyfriend. Rainbow wasn’t sure what it felt like to be in love, but somehow, she knew she wasn’t too far off. Perhaps it was the heat and steam getting to her. Then, an idea came to her, and the kiss ended. “Say, Spike... Why don’t we hit the showers? We should really get cleaned up, and I’ve got some places that can be a bit hard to reach...”

***The End***
