Contains conversation about bringing a FWB to the throuple!

A Brief Conversation

“What a night we’ve had, though the turn of events have me feeling quite glad,” Zecora laughed as his slouched shoulders and half-lidded eyes spoke otherwise, almost to his home with his femcolts on each side of him as he continued. “It’ll be easier to feel that way with a long night’s sleep, then wake up over the presents I get to keep.”

Rainbow Blitz and Butterscotch, understanding that their Master was tired simultaneously from spending the whole day with a bunch of ponies for a party and fucking Rainbow Blitz on the table, held all the presents in their wings as their hut came into view. Rainbow Blitz felt the cold wind blowing through his rainbow mane, reminding him that he couldn’t quite let the three of them go to bed just yet. Not when the flashing imagery of Elusive and his heavy blush, his excessively long time in the bathroom, and his longing stare at the sky flashed in his head. Though Elusive deeply desired love, it certainly wasn’t something Rainbow Blitz was certain he could give to his best friend. The throuple loved each other deeper than most non-poly couples did, and bringing in a fourth when they were so far in seemed counterproductive to giving Elusive what he needed.

But why would that stop Rainbow Blitz from trying?

Approaching the door of the hut, watching as Zecora stood up straight and opened the door to allow his femcolts in, Rainbow Blitz and Butterscotch placed their gifts on the table before the former opened his blue wing in front of Zecora to block his path in a way that instantly brought a regretful red blush to his cheeks.

“Sorry Master!” Blitz gasped, Butterscotch freezing up as he was previously removing his maid outfit to watch the scene playing out before him. Ignoring the other femcolt’s eyes on him, Blitz took a deep breath as he got Zecora’s attention, the stoic stud’s face on him as he waited for the blue pegasus to continue. “But there’s something really pressing I think all of us need to talk about, I don’t want it to wait for the morning.”

“Okay then,” Zecora nodded, walking to the table and sitting in one of the chairs as he relaxed from the loud scenery that was Sugarcube Corner. Rainbow Blitz and Butterscotch took a couple of minutes to remove their maid outfits before they sat across from Zecora, even though the yellow femcolt had no idea what his best friend was going to say. Zecora continued. “Is it so bad that we can’t retire to our den?”

“Not bad, if you don’t take it that way,” Rainbow Blitz replied vaguely, noticing Butterscotch beside him giving a distinct tilt of his head, his ears flickering as the blue pegasus continued. “Everyone either laughed off you fucking me except for Elusive and Applejack. Well, Applejack’s reaction was more of a playful scoff and whatnot…”

“Did I make Elusive uncomfortable?” Zecora’s eyes widened as his pupils shrunk, the color draining from his already pale fur on his face as Rainbow Blitz’ wings sprouted open in surprise.

“Oh no! You definitely didn’t do that,” Blitz assured his Zebra Master, waiting for Zecora to calm down for a few moments before the blue pegasus continued. “At least, not like harassment. He seemed to be blushing a lot, could barely talk to us, and he was…oh goodness…”

Is it too much to say that Elusive was in the bathroom for a really long time?

“He seemed to be enjoying the show? Make that him and half of Ponyville that wanted to give my zebra cock a blow,” Zecora smiled a little as he realized how simple the ‘dilemma’ actually was. “Elusive is far from weird for having such a reaction, especially since I remember it is you two who also held the exact same attraction~”

“Heh, he does have a point~” Butterscotch’s ears flattered against his long pink mane as he gave an exaggeratedly large grin at Rainbow Blitz, pressing his forehoof against his floofy yellow chest as he did so. Blitz felt his shoulders relax at both their responses, why did he think they would have an adverse reaction? It’s not like either of them were virgins before dating each other, all of them having their own histories. Elusive was really just like all those mares, couples, and even previous femcolts that all wanted a go with the studly Zecora. It was basically common sense for any adult pony that was into dick!

But where did that leave them?

“Well, I’m just wondering where that leaves him,” Blitz blurted out the words, no flowery language would convey his point decently. “And I hope that doesn’t make me look bad, we could spend the rest of our lives just us three and be happier than royals. And certainly, if this was some stranger or acquaintance around town, I wouldn’t even entertain it, but…Elusive is one of the Elements of Harmony. Just like us. He may not be as close to me and Butterscotch as we were to each other throughout the years, but he’s still someone we’ve become connected to through years of adventures and friendship.”

“Are you…wanting to make a go at Elusive?” Zecora’s eyes widened, though not nearly as much as he did earlier.

“Oh no, not that…I just get the impression he’s more on the submissive side from that chain of events,” Rainbow Blitz chuckled as he waved off Zecora’s assumption with a wave of his forehoof before continuing. “More than anything, I guess I just meant you and Scotch might want to experience another ponut to plow?”

“Hmm, we do pick on Blitz quite frequently~” Since the blue pegasus’ frazzled wings had returned to his back a while ago, Butterscotch was able to unfurl one of his wings to rest teasingly on Blitz’ back, the tips of his soft yellow feathers tickling his best friend’s back. Zecora grinned wider as he watched his blue femcolt getting flustered even more. “Though if we were to open ourselves up to other parties, what does that mean for us? Are we all open to fucking anybody? Or is this a one-time occurrence?”

“Maybe we don’t have to pick from two different extremes here,” Zecora elaborated. “I’m no stranger to FWB relationships whether they’re straight or queer. With ponies like this Elusive or any other close friends we trust, I see no problem with giving some of them the occasional rut or thrust. But this is merely me speaking as a third, I need to make sure your opinions are also heard.”

“Well Rainbow Blitz is pretty obvious in his stance,” Butterscotch chuckled, glancing at his best friend’s blank expression. Blitz wasn’t ready to give anything away, not when the other femcolt could easily shut down the entire plan in motion. Instead, Butterscotch smirked as he continued. “And I would agree with the both of you: our relationship is too strong to be fractured by letting other ponies into our bedroom. If either one of you suggested this at the beginning, it would’ve easily been a no. Especially before your arrangement with Butterbat…”

Blitz noticed Zecora giving a clear wince, and couldn’t agree more. Had they invited another stallion in at that time, whether as another member of the group, or simply for a one-night stand, Rainbow Blitz was confident that Butterscotch in all of his rising insecurity would’ve burned with more frustration and jealousy. The yellow femcolt would’ve had another ‘superior’ sub to compete with, still being under the impression that he was only a sub and not a switch. Blitz could all-too-easily have seen that as a dealbreaker for all three of them. But fortunately, it could be brought up now with Elusive’s perfect timing and Butterscotch’s embraced dominant side to display to their dear friend.

“This is very true, and I’m glad I have resolved the biggest problems in the relationship between me and you,” Zecora explained. “And with how strong we’ve become as three, communicating if one becomes uncomfortable is key!”

“That’s true, we would be able to tell each other that,” Blitz brightened, his fluffy blue ears perking up from his rainbow mane. Of course, he still wasn’t quite sure if he was going to get as much out of Elusive as an addition as Zecora and Butterscotch would, but the blue pegasus was certain he could still play the role of a fellow sub if nothing else. Zecora slowly moved out of his chair and got up, his ears flickering as he gave a deep yawn that exposed all his teeth before slowly shaking his head.

“Is that all then? I guess the only other question is when?” Zecora added. “You two can go over to his place tomorrow evening to invite him to tea at the end of the day? Then gauge properly if he wants to enter the throuple fray?”

“That works for us,” Blitz replied after he saw Butterscotch nod in the corner of his vision, partially lying as he could imagine Applejack being disappointed about. As considerable as Zecora and Butterscotch were about his plight, Rainbow Blitz was completely stumped at the conclusion his Zebra Master came to. The blue pegasus highly doubted that Elusive’s end goal when it came to intimacy was to settle for the occasional fuck, even if it was an excellent zebra stud doing it. That look in the dainty unicorn stallion’s eyes as he looked up at the sky spoke of something far deeper, a hole that needed to be filled and it was not just his ponut.

Rainbow Blitz didn’t like hiding his intentions, knowing that it didn’t lead anywhere good when Butterscotch did so, but was it so bad when he was hoping that his two studs would also fall for their friend Elusive? Perhaps Elusive would end up being okay with a simple friends-with-benefits scenario even if it was in the short term? Rainbow Blitz grumbled quietly enough as he got up out from his chair and followed Zecora and Butterscotch towards the bedroom. That magical moment, of feeling connected to other souls through sex, was something that Rainbow Blitz didn’t want to keep to himself. Especially not with the depth of Elusive’s desires sitting out in broad daylight. The romantic stallion was needing touch in every way of the word.

And by Solaris’ name, Rainbow Blitz was going to make sure he got it.
