Alicorn Bonds

Celestia looked at the calendar in her room as she awoke once more to raise the sun from cozy isolation from the rest of the world. She saw the first week entirely crossed off, and now she crossed off one more day. “A whole week,” she said to herself, taking a deep breath and began stretching each arm across her body. “A whole week with Twilight… ah, it did not take Cadance so long to figure this out, but I suppose it is for the best.” She commented to herself as she looked down at the picture of herself with Luna and Cadance. Her nude body shone in the light through the windows as she finished stretching her arms. Her horn flashed, and her pointed ears suddenly bore adornments of small, tasteful studs of pink, teal, and blue diamonds to match her mane. She stepped over to her jewelry case and looked at her options for the day and decided upon a pendant bearing Luna’s cutie mark for a necklace, and a simple silver band upon her left ring finger. She smiled and gazed upon it before she put it on, and saw the simple, pristine silver on the outside. On the inside, however, bore an engraving in Old Ponish. Reading it over, she smiled at it and the memories it brought back. She felt her most sensitive parts become warmer, as she looked down at probably her biggest secret, both metaphorically and physically. A white sheath, itself wide enough to put just about every stallion to shame, and testes to match. Gently she reached down to fondle herself briefly but pulled her hand away not ten seconds later.

She quickly slipped the ring on and smiled before walking to her wardrobe, before her ears picked up a distinct thud down the hallway. Eyes widening, she cast a simple clothes-conjuring spell as she ran down the hallway and crashed through the door. Her immortal heart raced as she gazed upon the sight before her. Twilight lay slumped on the floor, completely nude, but breathing. Books lay strewn around the desk where Twilight likely sat prior to the fall. Celestia briskly walked across the room before kneeling down and putting a finger to Twilight’s neck and casting a spell to check for any potential maladies. Thankfully, Celestia both found a pulse and discovered no obstructions in her throat or anywhere else.

She let out a big sigh of relief as she lowered her head. “No wonder you’re tired, Twilight, you’re working yourself to exhaustion!” she said as she gently lifted Twilight into her arms, and carried her out of the room, to her own. She set Twilight on the spacious bed, next to the spot where Celestia slept, and pulled some covers over her. “Ahh, so much for the day I had planned,” she said to herself as she walked on over to Twilight’s room again. “What were you doing all night? Surely you weren’t still studying on this vacation?” she wondered, her voice exasperated as she cast a spell to levitate the books towards her, opened to the pages Twilight had them open to.

“Let’s see… Hay’s Anatomy, A Study of Sleep Disorders, and… oh…” she commented as she began to blush at the next title. Treatise on the Pleasures of the Flesh, by Erostus. She could not figure out which page Twilight read up to, but she knew it contained particularly lascivious descriptions of lesbian sex from an “anonymous contributor.” Celestia remembered giving those descriptions in great confidence two thousand years ago, right after she assumed the throne and abolished the Council of Elders, and to this day she remained thankful that not a single pony or creature anywhere figured out the identity of that contributor.

“Maybe you did have this figured out,” she commented as she looked over to the chair Twilight had lain next to. She put a finger on the seat, and found it surprisingly sticky, and tiny puddles of sticky fluid collected at the rear indentation of the seat. She smirked and rubbed the substance between her fingers. “Or perhaps you’re just really needy right now. Either way, I think it’s time to step things up.”

Celestia cast a spell to clean the room and return the books to their proper places, magically fixed the door, returned to her room, and sat down on the bed next to Twilight. “Twilight,” she said, reaching over to nudge her awake, “It’s time to wake up. You can’t be sleeping through the whole day!”

Twilight groaned as she opened her eyes. They looked right into Celestia’s and widened. “Princess Celestia,” she managed to say, “I… wait,” she said as she looked around, and then returned her eyes to Celestia as she sat up to lean against the headboard of the bed. The covers slid down, revealing Twilight’s breasts, and she quickly gasped and gathered the sheets to cover them.

Celestia chuckled and leaned in slightly. “Twilight, we’re both mares. You were also naked when I carried you in here, so there’s really no need.” She assured her. “I was worried about you; You fell off the chair in your room a few minutes ago, and it gave me quite a fright, Twilight! What were you doing in there?”

“I was trying to figure out what I could do to help me sleep,” she said, “I discovered something that seemed to have results and I wanted to see what the research was on it,” she explained, blushing slightly as she let the covers lower just a little bit, revealing some of Twilight’s cleavage but not showing anything more.

“Ahh, research,” Celestia said as she teleported the Treatise on the Pleasures of the Flesh into her hand. “This book does provide some exquisite research into some… particular topics,” she chuckled as the book hovered back to Celestia. “You don’t need to hide things from me, Twilight. Now, I know what you’re going to say,” she explained as she held up a finger the moment she saw Twilight’s mouth open, “But I can promise you that everyone, alicorns included, feel the desires of the flesh in some fashion or another. There is nothing, Twilight, nothing wrong with wanting to feel that pleasure.”

Twilight sighed and curled up in the bed, bringing her knees up to her chest. “I just… remembered the lessons you gave me on how foals were made. How it needs a mare and a stallion. But I never felt love for a stallion, Princess. Rarity talks about marrying a stallion so much, and Pinkie’s been going on dates with Cheese Sandwich lately, and I just never felt that way about anyone! I see movies and read books about romance, and the idea of it is wonderful but I can’t see myself with anyone! It’s like I don’t deserve it!” she expressed, frustrated. Her eyes became slightly bloodshot, blurry, and her upper lip quivered as she lowered her head into her arms.

Celestia wordlessly took Twilight into a tight, comforting embrace. “Oh, you poor thing,” Celestia whispered, “I am so sorry I never explained this to you, but I promise you that you of all ponies are deserving of romantic love, and the pleasures of the flesh. With everything you’ve done for Equestria, for your friends, for everyone, you of all ponies deserve someone to call your lover. Your marefriend, even.”

Twilight’s body heaved in sobs as Celestia held her, but eventually Twilight’s head looked up. “I… guess I never thought about it. I never found any books that talked about those kinds of relationships, either. Well, at least not until I found the Treatise. The way he spoke about mares being with other mares… how they experienced pleasures no stallion ever could! I thought I was a deviant-“

“Twilight, shh…” Celestia interjected, caressing her shoulder. “There’s nothing deviant about liking mares.”

“But two mares can’t make a foal.” Twilight protested.

“Is getting pregnant what you want, Twilight?”

“I, uh… isn’t that what’s supposed to result from being married?”

“Love, pleasure, and especially sex is about what you are comfortable with, Twilight.” Celestia said, pulling away just slightly to look down at her, reaching over to her chin to tilt Twilight’s head up. Their eyes met as Twilight blinked and blushed before looking away. “There are plenty of mares and stallions, even straight ones, that go through lives never wanting and never creating a foal. And most of the time, they are perfectly happy that way. So no, you don’t need to work on having a foal if you don’t want one. Love is about what you want with the other pony. And maybe two mares want to adopt a foal, and maybe they don’t. But it’s all their decision. Whoever you love, Twilight, what matters is that the other pony makes you happy.”

“But… aren’t there ponies you shouldn’t feel that way about?” Twilight asked.

“Mm, there are those that fit that description; Those unwilling or unable to say they want partake, primarily. Now Twilight… you can tell me anything. I promise you there’s nothing you can say that will make me care for you any less. But… are you feeling attracted to some mare you don’t think you should be?” she asked.

Twilight closed her eyes and curled up, looking down. Celestia smirked a little, as she leaned in, caressing Twilight’s cheek. “Is it someone I know?” she asked.

Twilight nodded.

“Have you known her for a long time?”

Again, a nod.

Celestia let out a short, light chuckle. “You always did like ’20 Questions’, Twilight. Well… I suppose that’s three down, seventeen to go. Mm… is she… one of my chamber maids?” she asked.

Twilight sputtered out a laugh. “Haha, ah… no, no it’s not her,” she replied, finally looking back up at her.

“All right, sixteen left… does she live in Ponyville?”

Twilight shook her head.

“Mm… Canterlot?”

A nod.

“Ahh, I see. Well, fourteen questions left. Let me offer a wager then, Twilight: If I guess by the tenth question, then you can ask me anything, and no matter what the question is, I will answer it honestly and as straightforwardly as I possibly can. Sound good?”

Twilight smiled, blushing brighter as she nodded.

“Very well…” Celestia replied, as she turned her eyes up in thought, putting a hand to her chin. “Does she… like to wear jewelry?”

Twilight nodded very gently as she looked cutely into Celestia’s eyes, as Celestia stared back. She felt her heart pound in her chest as she leaned closer.

“Does this mysterious mare spend a lot of time in the castle?”

Again, a hesitant nod.

“Mmm, does this mare happen to have many statues made of her? And are photographs and paintings of her a common sight throughout this country?” Celestia asked with a sly grin as she gently caressed Twilight’s head.

“I, uh, y-yes…” Twilight whispered just audible enough for Celestia to hear.

“Ooh, and final questsion…” Celestia concluded, “Is this mare an alicorn? Alabaster white, seven foot-ten, magenta eyes?”

Twilight’s eyes widened as her blush turned bright red. “I…” she began to say, before shaking a little.

Celestia held Twilight gently, stroking her head as she still pressed her nose to Twilight’s, gazing into h er eyes before closing them. “You can say it, Twilight Sparkle. I promise you I am not upset.”

“I… like you,” Twilight confessed almost immediately, shrinking away from Celestia, and burying her face into her arms. “I guess I’m lesbian, then; But I’ve never felt this way until after I became a princess. I tried… touching myself… but it never helped my sleep until I started spending this time with you!”

Celestia continued holding Twilight close to her and let the moment sit for a few moments. “Can I tell you a secret, Twilight?” she asked.

Twilight looked up at her hesitantly.

“I’m lesbian, too.”

Twilight’s eyes widened as they met with Celestia’s once more. Celestia smiled gently and pressed her nose to Twilight’s. “Wait, really?”

Celestia nodded gently. “There are so few that I have ever felt an attraction towards, but they’ve all been mares. They are also the ones I have bonded with over many years; the ones with whom I shared trial and tribulation, the ones who proved themselves as exceptional.” She explained, as she put a hand on Twilight’s cheek, cupping it.

The moment sat there, pregnant, and agonizingly slow. Between each beat of her heart, throbbing in Celestia’s ears, a minute seemed to pass. Finally, the time came, and Celestia leaned in further, tilting her head and pressing her lips to Twilight’s. Head cupped in her hands, Twilight’s cheeks flushed red, but her eyes closed soon as she reached up and gripped Celestia’s shoulders. They held their lips together, gently tasting each other as Twilight finally let the sheets fall from her chest, revealing her impressive bust. Celestia cast a spell to disappear her shirt, allowing their mounds to press together. Celestia kept her eyes closed as she experienced the inexperienced motions of Twilight’s lips and tongue. Twilight always stopped short of moving it into Celestia’s mouth, while still sometimes touching them together right in the middle. Occasionally Celestia ran her tongue along the roof of Twilight’s mouth, or along her teeth, and felt her shiver slightly each time. She also ran her hands over Twilight’s breasts, to much the same effect. Especially when she squeezed them gently, a light moan escaped her throat into the kiss.

A good five minutes later, Celestia pulled away from the kiss. A trail of spittle still connected their lips for a moment before it broke and fell to Celestia’s knee. She smiled warmly at Twilight and pet her mane a little. Twilight returned the gaze and smiled a little more nervously, but still remained receptive to the hands that continued squeezing her breasts.

“I… wow,” she panted, “That was…”

“…your first kiss?” Celestia asked coyly. Twilight chuckled, but nodded.

“I’m glad it was you.” She expressed as she felt a small gurgling of her belly. She looked down, but Celestia chuckled.

“I suppose I should make us something to eat,” she suggested, “we can talk about this over breakfast. And clothing is optional,” she added while she pulled back. With Twilight’s hands in her own, she tugged at them as she stood up, top still completely off.

Twilight hesitated, but after a few moments followed suit, standing up and letting the sheets slide off her smooth body, revealing herself entirely to Celestia. She smiled gently as she took Twilight’s hand and guided her downstairs.

Once downstairs, Celestia began making some simple oatmeal with honey and fruit for the two of them, while Twilight sat down at the table. “Is this the bonding you told me about? What we just did, I mean?” She asked.

“Do you feel like your bonding need is satisfied?” Celestia wondered.

Twilight looked down at the table for a moment before replying. “More than when I got here,” Twilight replied. “I feel a lot less tired and exhausted, but… not completely.” She reported, rather flatly.

Celestia, finishing up the preparations by heating the oatmeal with her magic, turned and placed the bowls on the table, and peppered the bowls with fruit slices. “Twilight,” Celestia said, moving her chair around the table such that the two sat adjacent. “…I’m not obligating you to be intimate with me. There are other ways to satisfy your need for bonding.”

“No, no, I enjoyed it!” Twilight quickly corrected, “I enjoyed it a lot, Princess. I just…” she began, before pausing and lowering her head. “I want to be more than just your pupil, but I don’t want to leave my friends. I… I love my friends; I can’t leave them behind! Not after all we’ve been through!”

“Whoever said anything about leaving them behind?” Celestia asked, sweetly. “Twilight, of all ponies, I would never ask you to choose between your friends and me!”

“But, what if my friends ask why I have to go to Canterlot so often?” she asked.

“You can be honest with them, Twilight. Of all ponies, your friends, as true as they are to the very essence of friendship, will understand, and will still love you. They have been through so much and still stuck together; trust them.”

Twilight smiled and leaned into Celestia, taking a deep breath, and breathing out a relieved sigh. “You’re right; If our friendship is strong enough to withstand Tirek, Chrysalis, and Discord, then it’s strong enough for them to understand what we have.” She concluded.

“Perhaps I shall set up a teleportation circle between our castles so you are never more than a few minutes away from either location. Would that help with easing your mind?”

“Yeah!” Twilight replied as she gave Celestia a kiss on the shoulder, “That would be fantastic.”

“Then I shall put that on my ‘to-do’ list!” Celestia replied as she gave Twilight a kiss on the cheek and leaned away to begin eating.

The meal continued rather silently, as the two remained focused on their food, with intermittent stomach growling from both. Once finished, Twilight washed the dishes as Celestia walked to the front of the cabin to gaze out the window. “The weather is beautiful, Twilight,” she said, “How about I show you this lake I recently discovered and renovated as a private pool?” she asked, turning around with a wink.

Twilight smiled as she walked over next to Celestia and wrapped an arm around Celestia’s waist. “I would love to!” she replied, looking up. “I imagine I shouldn’t bring a swimsuit?”

“No need for that at all, Twilight,” Celestia assured her, “I have a privacy spell around the entire place, so any non-alicorn will simply see a gaping sinkhole and avoid it. Plus, I imagine you have never gone skinny-dipping before?”

Blushing, Twilight shook her head. “Well, if I was to do it with anyone for the first time, I’m glad it’s with you, Princess.” She replied as she nuzzled her head against the side of Celestia’s breasts.
