The Rise of Passion

With the dishes done, Stellar wandered into the library to find Sunburst lying on the couch, reading a book. She walked up behind him and gently rubbed his shoulders. "Hey, Sunny. Reading something about psychology?"

He shook his head. "Botany. But I'm thinking about it. You're right. Something has to change. I just don't know what yet."

"Well, you'll figure it out, won't you?"

"I certainly hope so."

"Anything so far?"

Sunburst leaned back. "I have two solutions, actually. The first one doesn't really change anything. Not significantly enough, I mean."

"What is it?"

That's to have you move closer to me. I could have you set up with a nice, cozy place nearby, and you could check in as often as you like. Of course, that doesn't really do much about the bragging. I could hold you back a little bit, but could I really stop you altogether?" He shook his head. "I don't think so."

"Would that really be so bad, though?" asked Stellar. "Having me living here could solve that. After all, whose parents live here?"

"A lot of them," answered Sunburst. "I work with several ponies who live nearby, as do their parents. And if you should go bragging to the parents of my students, the fallout would be devastating for them."

"You only have one student."

"Right now, but I'm going to move back to Ponyville at the end of the break and resume my normal teaching job, and you'd have to move with me. Otherwise, we'll find ourselves in the exact same scenario as we do now."

Stellar nodded. "I suppose that's true. What's the second option?"

"The second option presents the same problems as the first, and that's for me to find a roommate who can keep you abreast of what's going on in my life."

"That would be lovely."

"Yes, but it presents the same problem."

"Not really. In one, you have to find me a house. In the other, you have to find somepony who wants to split your rent. Those are completely different problems."

"I was referring to the other problems."

"Right, same story there."

"Even so, finding a roommate would be a difficult process with me being busy all the time."

"How about a marefriend?"

For the first time this entire conversation, Sunburst looked up from his book. "Pardon me?"

"That's a good idea, right? It'd give you something to look forward to when you come home, they can be a comfort to you through the night, and it would stop my urging you to find somepony to bear your children."

He sighed. "Yeah, I guess that's true. It would solve a collection of multiple problems. And it could potentially convince you to leave the other parents alone, and they'll stop bugging their kids as much."

"Then it's settled. A marefriend is what you need. Now, I was at a function last week, and there was this beautiful young ma--"

"No," Sunburst cut her off. "Look, I've not really been in a relationship before."

"That's why I'm trying to help you."

He shook his head vehemently. "No, let me make this clear. Because I've waited for so long, I want my first time to be... special. You know?"

"How special?"

"Well..." He blushed and rubbed the back of his head. "I want my first time to be with somepony I love. Not just some mare I've never met, but somepony I genuinely want the best for, you know? Somepony I care about a lot."

"Somepony you love," she nodded. "Somepony who means the world to you. Somepony who wants you to have the best life possible."

"Yes, exactly." Sunburst returned to his book, rolling onto his back. "Let's not talk about this right now. You're here. What did you want to see here in the Crystal Empire?"

"Besides my darling son?" She thought about it as she sat down on the opposite side of the couch. "Let me think..."

The room was silent for a few minutes save for the ticking of the clock. Stellar had thought about this since Trixie had suggested it, and it still felt like a bad idea. It could possibly drive her son away from her forever, but it could also bind them permanently. Mayhaps this wasn't what he wanted, but he hadn't said no, and he was practically begging for it.

Sunburst suddenly tensed up at the unfamiliar feeling of a tongue against his balls. He looked down between his legs, his eyes wide. "Mom!?" he squeaked.

She dragged her tongue along his peeking shaft as it slid from his sheathe. "The pony who cares about you the most; the one who loves you more than anypony else; the one who wants you to be your very best. Name one other mare who loves you anywhere near as much as I do."

Wh-what are you-- Ohhh..." As his tip slipped between her lips, tiny pinpricks shot through every muscle in his body, and he began to squirm. Despite his writhing, he was neither wriggling away from her nor pushing her back. "Mom, we..." he gasped, "...we-- we can't! Ah!"

She slurped him dry. "Why not, Sweetie? Don't you love your mother?"

"I do! I do!" he answered, "b-but... this is against the law!"

"No, it's not, honey."

"It is, though!"

"The law prohibits us from being wed. However, what we do in the library behind closed blinds is for us to know, and so long as it doesn't hurt anypony else, the guards will be just fine looking the other way."

He gasped as she swallowed his entire length in a single bob, holding herself down and licking his balls. "A-are you s-s-sure?"

She popped up again and smiled at him, rubbing her cheek against the side of his cock, which was already beginning to flare. "If you don't tell the guards, or anypony who will tell the guards, then you'll be perfectly safe. I promise. After all, would I let anything bad happen to my little Sunny?"

He blushed. "N-no. I guess not..."

She smiled and kissed him. "Besides, a cock like this should be appreciated. It's big, it's heavy, and it's flavourful."

"Mom, it's dirty!"

"Mm-mm. You took a shower just before breakfast, and I know how thorough you are. I raised my boy to clean himself properly, and you certainly did."

"Mooommm..."
