Sweet Affection: A Blissful Union

It had been a while since Rumble started dating Sweetie Belle. Ever since the boy confessed his feelings to his special girl, things have been great for both of them.

Years had passed by, and these young lovers were still as crazy about each other as they always have been. If anything, their love had only grown stronger as they entered their final year of school.

Neither one has felt so happy prior to such a union, it's like they completed one another. Two halves of a complete whole.

The two have gone on dinner dates, movie dates, and any other romantic venture they could think of. They've even gone to a school dance with one another.

Sweetie Belle never forgot that night. Rumble was dressed in a very dashing way, and his charming demeanor was enough to sweep Sweetie Belle off of her feet.

The slow song began to play for the kids present, each of them finding a partner to dance with. Some more romantically than others, or some, like Scootaloo and Apple Bloom, just dancing together as friends.

Rumble and Sweetie Belle however, they were the couple that everyone knew of, and expected the most lovey-dovey stuff out of.

"May I have this dance, Sweetie Belle?" Rumble asked as he gently took the girl by her hand.

Sweetie Belle giggled at Rumble's chivalrous nature, "Why sure...you may."

Rumble took her to the dance floor, and while he didn't consider himself a professional, he knew enough to keep his girlfriend happy.

The two danced slowly together, taking in their special moment with one another. All eyes were on them as they focused solely on each other.

Rumble was wearing a nice polyester suit that Flitter and Cloudchaser helped mend for him, with Fluttershy's help.

Sweetie Belle had a remarkably lovely light blue dress that was sewn together by Rarity all on her own, just so that her sister had something precious and unique that night.

Apple Bloom was at aw of the two, happily marvelous over their unity while Scootaloo stood there with a look of pride on her face, happy that Rumble had been doing so well as Sweetie Belle's boyfriend.

Sweetie Belle held onto Rumble, holding the boy as close as possible as the two continued to dance. The girl felt her heart beating several miles a minute as he returned the embrace, fully cuddling her close to him.

For the two, this was such a big moment for them. Never before have they felt so intimate with one another, aside from their occasional make-out sessions.

This just felt different, this was a certain type of rhythm that the two were accustoming themselves toward. Sweetie Belle allowed Rumble to lead the dance, despite his lack of experience doing so. Despite that, she felt safe and comfortable, and trust in what he was doing.

Rumble was still slightly nervous while taking the lead. This was his first time doing such a thing, but doing so with Sweetie Belle made this moment much easier, because more than anything, he wanted to show her a good time.

Things were a bit slow, just how Sweetie Belle liked it, but Rumble did crave a bit more, he really wanted the excitement of a good dance to really ring out. But, he wouldn't do so in front of so many eyes. He worried about embarrassing himself, and Sweetie Belle.

For the moment, Rumble settled on his close dance, while gently rubbing Sweetie Belle's back, before slowly lowering his hand, almost as if he's reaching for someplace new.

What stopped him, once again, was the fear of being seen groping his girlfriend out in public, at least in front of a crowd. Even though Sweetie Belle was never bothered about Rumble feeling certain parts of her, so long as he was gentle, this is something he wanted to do in private.

"Sweetie Belle..." Rumble whispered. "Do you want to be alone?"

"Yeah, sure," Sweetie Belle said. She broke away from the dance and allowed Rumble to take her by the hand as he led her away.

"Done already!?" Scootaloo asked. "But we were enjoying the show!"

"Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom aggressively elbowed her friend.

"Ow! Hey!" Scootaloo said as she rubbed her ribs to soothe her minor pain.

Rumble and Sweetie Belle went out into the hallway, the two being quick to take a look around to make sure they were alone, and were not bothered.

Once they were sure that the two of them were alone, Rumble took Sweetie Belle in for an extended kiss. The two held each other close, with Sweetie Belle feeling Rumble's muscles

Rumble however was feeling another part of Sweetie Belle, that being what he considers her soft and smooth butt. Part of him felt dirty for thinking that, but he believed it to be the absolute truth.

The two really got into their make out session to the point where Rumble was really getting firm with how he held Sweetie Belle. It got to the point where Sweetie Belle began to feel a bit weird. Part of her wanted Rumble to continue, but another part didn't feel right doing this.

"Rumble..." Sweetie Belle began to push away. "Rumble, that's enough."

"Huh?" Rumble became more self-aware of how he was acting and started to feel strange. "Oh um...sorry about that."

"It's fine, you didn't mean any harm," Sweetie Belle said.

"...Guess I have some...well...strange feelings to think about now, huh?" Rumble asked.

"Huh?" Sweetie Belle said.

"I mean...wow, what a night huh?" Rumble said.

"Rumble, you're not making a whole lot of sense right now," Sweetie Belle said.

"I..." Rumble shook it off, trying to regain his composure. "Sorry, I guess I just felt a little...like...I don't really know how to say it...Just now, I felt like how I've never felt before."

"Don't worry, I went through the same thing," Sweetie Belle said.

"It's a good feeling, don't get me wrong," Rumble said. "I just don't understand that feeling. Or, I think I do, but I feel weird knowing that I felt this way. Do you get what I mean or am I making less sense? Because right now, even I don't think I know what I'm saying."

The two stood around awkwardly for a second, both trying to regain their composure, and figure out exactly what was just happening.

"I think I know what's going on," Sweetie Belle said. "Rumble, you and I have been dating each other for years, right?"

"Yeah, we have," Rumble said.

"And...we grew...kind of," Sweetie Belle said. "Like, we're still young, but at the same time, older."

"Sure feels that way," Rumble said.

"Rumble...I think...I think it's time we did more than just making out," Sweetie Belle said.

Rumble raised his eyebrow in confusion, "I don't get what you mean. Like, what are you even getting-"

"I think we should have sex!" Sweetie Belle blurted out, then immediately covered her mouth in shame as a dark red blush took over her face.

Rumble couldn't believe what he just heard. This is not how he expected his night to go, yet he is not exactly disappointed with the outcome. If anything, he was thrilled, even if he felt a little embarrassed.

He's always admired Sweetie Belle, and he believes she is a beautiful girl with an amazing body. He would love nothing more than to have that body pressed against him as he showed the girl he most admired the ultimate act of love.

Rumble had thought long and hard about the day he and Sweetie Belle would one day do the deed. Not out of sexual desire, or rather, that was not the only thing on his mind. Rumble was a boy after all, so of course he thought about sleeping with Sweetie Belle. He just never wanted that to be the whole point of their relationship.

Because for Rumble, he just wanted to make her feel good, and to give her a thrilling experience that she would treasure throughout her relationship with him.

"You...you want to have sex...with me?" Rumble asked. "Is that what you said?"

"...Yes," Sweetie Belle was embarrassed to admit. "That's what I said."

"...And...you're sure about this?" Rumble asked.

"...I am..." Sweetie Belle shyly looked away. "I've...thought about it for some time, and after tonight, I think...no...I know this is what I want." Sweetie Belle glanced back at Rumble. "I know in my heart that this is exactly what I want from us Rumble. I want to have sex with you."

"...I see..." Rumble said.

Sweetie Belle began to feel weird, and worried she was ruining something great that she had. "If you don't want to...that's fine. I know it's a big deal. We've...never done anything like that but...I do want to experience this with you. Only if you're ready, so no pressure."

Rumble did have to think about this. Much as he wanted to be with Sweetie Belle in such an intimate way, he knows that it's a massive leap in their relationship. Part of him expected them to be married the first time they had sex. So he will admit, it's happening a little fast for him.

Then again, he liked the unpredictability of life sometimes. It's why he had a girlfriend in the first place.

"Okay...let's do it," Rumble said.

Sweetie Belle's eyes widened in disbelief, "Wait...really?"

"Yeah...let's do it," Rumble said. "I...I want to have sex with you."

Sweetie Belle's blush began to deep as a smile took over her face, "You mean it?"

"I do," Rumble said.

Happy as she was, Sweetie Belle felt unsure about something, "Hey um...you don't feel obligated to, do you? I want to have sex with you, but only if you really want it. I don't want it to feel forced."

"Sweetie Belle," Rumble took the girl by her hand. "I want this. Don't worry, it's a choice I want to make. I...I want to share that intmacy with you. Telling you that I love you isn't enough, I want to show it in the best way possible.'

"...You mean it..." Sweetie Belle said as she looked into Rumble's eyes. "Oh Rumble..."

She brought the boy in for another kiss, allowing him to melt in her mouth as he happily returned it.

After a few seconds, Sweetie Belle pulled away as she gently stroked Rumble's face, "This has me really excited. I can't wait to share this moment with you."

"Wait, so are we doing it tonight?" Rumble asked.

Sweetie Belle began to feel embarrassed as she shook her head, "No, not tonight. I need to...prepare myself. I do want this, but it's still something big. Think if it as...preparing for a sports game."

"Huh?" Rumble asked.

"Yeah, you like sports, but you never go into something without training," Sweetie Belle said as she did a mock stretch pose. "When you do track, you aways stretch, don't you?"

"Well, technically stretching isn't always good, you could hurt yourself doing that," Rumble said.

"Right, of course," Sweetie Belle said. "Well...you do other things, like some slight warm ups. If you know you have to run really far or really fast, you prepare your body for it. Don't you?"

"Yeah, you're right," Rumble said.

"Not doing so could cause you to get winded too fast, so you prepare yourself day by day," Sweetie Belle said as she flexed her arms. "That goes for any sport. You build up speed, stamina, endurance, strength, all that good stuff."

"I get it," Rumble said.

"Not just that, it requires mental preparation," Sweetie Belle said as she placed her hands near her head as she visualized focusing on Rumble. "You want to be in the zone, don't you?"

"Of course," Rumble said.

"Exactly, you want to be focused!" Sweetie Belle said in an almost intense tone. "Sex is such an experience that gets to you in both body and mind! At least that's what I've heard. So, you need to be absolutely ready! It's...it's practically a spiritual journey!"

"I suppose it is," Rumble said.

"So, let's not rush into this, let's train and prepare!" Sweetie Belle declared. "In one week Rumble, you and I will have sex. It will be the best night of our lives!"

"Yeah, I'm down with that," Rumble said. "I'll do all the training, both physically, mentally and spiritually!"

"Right!" Sweetie Belle said. "And also, we need to buy some protection. I want to have kids with you one day, but I don't think today should be that day."

"Right...wait what if an accident happens regardless?" Rumble asked.

"...Then I guess we're going to be parents," Sweetie Belle said. "I'm fine, I'd rather wait but if the heavens above deem us ready then by God, we'll be ready."

"...I should keep an eye out for jobs then, just in case," Rumble said.

"Let's not suck all the fun out of this," Sweetie Belle said. "The only thing to look forward to is our sex."

"Yeah, that's the most important thing," Rumble said. "Until then, what should we do?"

"The same thing we normally do," Sweetie Belle said. "We're preparing for sex, not getting married. There's no rule that says you can't see your girlfriend before sex."

"Right, sorry," Rumble said. "I'm just...you know...just kind of nervous."

"Well, let's plan it out," Sweetie Belle said. "Do you want to do just the regular sex? You know, you...insert into me and do what a guy does? Or do you want me to take the lead?"

"Can we do both?" Rumble asked.

"Sure, that sounds fun," Sweetie Belle said. "How about any warm up? Like, should we do some oral? Or do you want to play with my butt?"

"I like the butt plan," Rumble said.

"I figured you would," Sweetie Belle teased as she slightly turned her butt to her boyfriend and wiggled a bit. "Give it a pat."

"Uh..." Rumble started to feel awkward.

"Hey, you were rubbing it a second ago," Sweetie Belle shook again. "Give it a pat." Rumble then pat Sweetie Belle on the butt, earning a smile from the girl. "Good boy."

"Listen, maybe talking about this right now isn't the best idea," Rumble said. "Let's just go back inside, I want to keep dancing with you."

"Sure..." Sweetie Belle said. "And hey, if you want to back out for any reason before the big day, just let me know. Just promise it won't be right before we do it, otherwise I'll be really ticked off."

"Don't worry, I won't do that to you," Rumble said. "That night will be for you. If I can't make you happy, then I don't deserve to be your boyfriend."

"You always make me happy," Sweetie Belle said.

"But what would help is if we had a nice dinner beforehand," Rumble said. "I want that night to be as nice for you as possible."

"Charming me up, huh?" Sweetie Belle asked. "I am so glad you're my boyfriend."

"The feeling's mutual," Rumble said, then brought Sweetie Belle in for a quick kiss. "I love you."

"I love you too, my dear sweet Rumbly-Wumbly," Sweetie Belle then kissed Rumble again, the two maintaining it this time.

"Yo, you two done making out?" Scootaloo asked from nearby. "Like, holy shit, do you think about anything except kissing?"

"Buzz off!" Sweetie Belle said.

"I bet he's got his hands all over plump, round ass," Scootaloo said.

"Scootaloo, I said to Buzz off!" An embarrased Sweetie Belle shouted.

"Sure thing...Sweetie Butt," Scootaloo said.

Suddenly the brash tomboy was seen being chased out of the school by a now angry young beauty.

"Hey chill! You know I can't run forever!" Scootaloo called as she ran for safety.

"That means you'll be eventually mine!" Sweetie Belle called as she gave chase.

"Please don't run!" Rumble called as he also gave chase.

"Dag nabbit! You two are such children!" Apple Bloom called as she tried to break things up.

The following day, Rumble and Sweetie Belle sat together in school, constantly blushing as they glanced at one another.

Diamond Tiara could see from where she was sitting, and found it annoying, "They're being extra weird today."

"Yeah, you'd think that dating for as long as they have, they'd be calmer around one another," Silver Spoon said. "So bizarre."

"I think it's adorable," Cozy Glow said. "I feel so jealous of Sweetie Belle. I'd love to make out with Rumble."

"Don't be weird, Cozy," Diamond Tiara said.

Even Tender Taps could see how they were acting nearby, the boy raising his eyebrow at the two, "Man, Rumble and Sweetie Belle get stranger every day."

"This whole thing was cute at first, but now it's kind of annoying," Dinky said.

Even Apple Bloom and Scootaloo felt like something was up, and they wanted to get to the bottom of it.

After school as Sweetie Belle was walking home, she pulled out her phone, contemplating calling her sister.

"Should I ask Rarity about this?" Sweetie Belle wondered. "She must have some experience by now. Then again...she's so busy with her work that-"

Suddenly she felt someone grabbing her breasts. She turned around and was not surprised to see that it was Scootaloo who was fondling her.

"Sup?" Scootaloo said, as if this was totally normal.

Sweetie Belle's eye twitched due to her friend's crude nature, "Sup?"

"Gotta say, your boobs are coming in nice," Scootaloo said as she groped her friend. "They're not as big a Apple Bloom's, but they're bigger than mine. I'm kind of jealous."

"Scootaloo...if you want to grope breasts so badly...then bother someone else," Sweetie Belle said, trying not to lose her patience. "Like, tell me, are you gay?"

"Seriously? We've been friends for years and you still don't know?" Scootaloo asked as she lowered her hands. "Now you owe me some butt action."

Sweetie Belle pulled away and bonked Scootaloo on the head, "Knock it off! Only Rumble gets to feel that!"

"Ow! Chill will ya!" Scootaloo said as she held her head. "Sorry that you have such an irresistible body. I'm surprised you and Rumble haven't done it yet."

"Huh!?" Sweetie Belle looked around. "Wh-Why would you ask me that!?"

"Wait..did you?" Scootaloo leaned in close. "Holy shit, did you actually do it!?"

"No stupid!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Then why are you getting all nervous?" Scootaloo asked as he moved her face inches away from Sweetie Belle's. "You're hiding something, aren't you?"

"Scootaloo!" Apple Bloom called. "Dang it! I told you to stay close to me!"

"Hey, you're the one who thought Sweetie Belle was hiding something," Scootaloo turned back to her friend. "And...you were right, she is. Time to fess up, Sweetie Belle!"

"I don't have anything to fess up!" Sweetie Belle said.

"You filthy little liar," Scootaloo said. "You enjoy telling your scandalous lies?"

"Scootaloo, stop being weird fer a second," Apple Bloom said, then focused on Sweetie Belle. "You sure nothing ain't on yer mind?"

"For the last time, there isn't," Sweetie Belle said. "Now, please stop bothering me about it, it's getting on my nerves."

"Well, if there is, you know you can trust us," Apple Bloom said. "After all, we just wanna be there for ya."

If there's one thing Sweetie Belle can't resist, it's Apple Bloom's kindhearted smile and her genuine friendly nature. The same one that gravitated the two together as friends, with Scootaloo completing that trio "Alright, I'll tell you. But you don't breathe a word about this to anyone, okay?"

"Oooh, sounds spicy," Scootaloo said. "I like me some-"

"Scootaloo! I'm being serious!" Sweetie Belle said, the girl nearly on the verge of tears. "I really need you to trust me, okay?"

Seeing Sweetie Belle react this way genuinely worried Scootaloo, the girl easing up on her antics, "Okay, okay. Look, I'm sorry. I won't mess around, you have my word."

"Yeah, we just want to help you," Apple Bloom said.

Sweetie Belle nodded in agreement. She then brought the girls aside for privacy as she confessed her worries, "I asked Rumble to have sex with me."

"You did what!?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Not so loud!" Sweetie Belle scolded. "But yeah, I asked him for sex."

"Whoa, that's big," Scootaloo said.

"Did you do it?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Not yet, I told him I wanted to wait a week first," Sweetie Belle said. "I really want this, but I want to be ready. I think he wants to be ready too."

"So he's fully on board?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Yeah, he is," Sweetie Belle said. "It's been on my mind, and I'm hoping it goes well. It means a lot to me to share my body with him. I'm just afraid I'll mess up."

"Mess up how?" Scootaloo asked.

"I don't know, like...what if I moan the wrong way? Or not at all?" Sweetie Belle asked. "Or...what if he sees my body and doesn't want to do it? I am a little chubby after all."

"Sweetie Belle, for the last time, you're not chubby!" Scootaloo said. "You have like...two percent of excess fat."

"I have a belly!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Barely, you're still skinny," Scootaloo said. "Besides, Rumble's seen you in a bathing suit, he clearly does not care if you have belly fat."

"Yeah, he loves you for who you are," Apple Bloom said. "It's going to translate well in sex, trust me on this."

"I want to trust you, I really do," Sweetie Belle said. "But...I'm still scared."

"That's normal," Apple Bloom said. "But, you gotta have more confidence in yerself. Remember, you're the one who asked, so that means you already have that confidence in you. Just maintain it."

"And however you're feeling, Rumble's feeling the same way," Scootaloo said. "He really cares about you and I think he wants this to be as great as you want it. Besides, if it's your first time, you can't expect it to go super well. Just do your best."

"Yeah, he'll be happy to be with you regardless," Apple Bloom said.

"Thank you..." Sweetie Belle said, then hugged the two. "I love you girls."

"We love you too," Apple Bloom said as she returned the hug.

"If anything happens, don't hesitate to let us know, alright?" Scootaloo said as she also returned the hug.

"I will," Sweetie Belle broke away as she walked off. "I'm going to ask my sister for advice, I just hope she doesn't faint."

"You got this," Apple Bloom said.

As Sweetie Belle left, Scootaloo felt a beaming sense of pride, "Wow...she's really growing up, isn't she?"

"Yeah, already having sex, I'm kind of jealous," Apple Bloom said.

"Hey if you want to lose your virginity, I'm available," Scootaloo teased.

"Oh shut up," Apple Bloom said, then took note of Rumble. The boy seemed to be texting someone. "Rumble may be nervous too."

"He'll be fine, Rumble can do just about anything," Scootaloo said.

"Should we talk to him though?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Tch, are you fucking nuts?" Scootaloo said. "He's not going to want to talk to girls about this, especially his girlfriend's best friends."

"Yeah, guess yer right," Apple Bloom said. "Anyway, let's go grab some snow cones."

"You buying?" Scootaloo said.

"Yeah, my own," Apple Bloom said as she left. "I ain't covering yer sorry ass again."

"But you love my sorry ass," Scootaloo teased as she followed.

Rumble continued walking around, passing by Twilight's library. He went inside to see if he could get the latest superhero comic.

"Hey Twilight, it's me!" Rumble said.

"Hi Rumble," Twilight placed some books away. "If you're looking for some comics, you will have to wait. I am unpacking a new shipment."

"That's fine," Rumble said as he sat down. "Twilight...do you have a boyfriend!?"

"Huh!?" Twilight asked in disbelief, causing her to drop some books.

"Crap, I'm sorry!" Rumble ran over to the books. "Let me help."

"It's fine," Twilight said. Regardless, Rumble helped out anyway, to which Twilight appreciated. "Still, a boyfriend?"

"Yeah, are you seeing anyone?" Rumble asked.

"Well...Tender Taps did just ask me out," Twilight said. "Still, why are you worried about this? Don't you have a girlfriend?"

"I do, but..." Rumble awkwardly rubbed his head. "I really care about Sweetie Belle, but my fear is that I can't be the man she wants."

"Where is this coming from?" Twilight asked.

"It's...complicated to explain," Rumble said. "I just really want to do a grand gesture of love for Sweetie Belle. Nothing expensive, but something important. I'm just afraid I'll mess it up."

"Well, it's usually the thought that counts," Twilight said. "Whatever you have planned, I'm confident that Sweetie Belle will love it."

Rumble felt some weight lifted off of him, "Thanks Twilight, hearing that is strangely reassuring."

"Of course," Twilight said. "But if you're really worried, talk to your brother. He's very charming in his own right, and probably has some experiences to share."

"You know, he's currently single again," Rumble said. "If things between you and Tender Taps don't work out-"

"Rumble dear, you're sweet to offer, but I'd rather not worry about this right now," Twilight said. "Maybe another time."

"Okay, sure thing," Rumble said. "Do you need any help unpacking?"

"You really want that comic?" Twilight asked.

"No, I just want to help out a friend of mine," Rumble said.

Twilight playfully rubbed his head, "I had a feeling you'd say that. I just like hearing it."

"Heh, you sneak," Rumble said.

"I am sneaky, aren't I?" Twilight replied with a coy grin as she gestured the boy to follow her. "Come on, the shipment is in the back."

Meanwhile at her house, Sweetie Belle explained the situation to her sister, "And that's what's happening...do you have any advice?"

"...I knew that boy would try something like this!" Rarity shouted as she grabbed a baseball bat. "Rumble!"

"Sis, what the hell are you doing!?" Sweetie Belle shouted as she chased her now aggressive sister. "I thought you grew out of this, already!?"

The more some things seem to change, the more they truly do not.
