Lifting a Soul

A Kiss

"I will just go take a bath." I said to Amabel as I release her from the hug. As I stood up from the couch, I felt my left hoof being grabbed. I turned around and saw Amabel holding on to my left hoof.

"Let me help you take your bath." said Amabel with a smile on her face. I stood frozen, trying to process what she just said. After a few seconds I finally responded.

"Why do you keep asking some weird requests?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"I just want to remember how I give a bath to Samphy." her face blushed a bit.

"Is Samphy a stallion or a foal?" I gave her a sheepish smile.

"Why do you ask?" she tilted her head a bit.

"Because you treat him like a little foal." I chuckled. She suddenly released my hoof. "I was just joking, don't take it too seriously." she didn't respond. "Okay fine, you could help me take a bath." she smiled at me. I just sighed in defeat. I walked upstairs to my bedroom to grab a towel. After that I went back downstairs again to the living room. "Remember, no funny ideas." I said to a smiling Amabel. She nodded and then walked with me into the bathroom. "I can't believe I am letting you do this." I said to her as we enter the shower. She happily turned on the shower. The feeling of warm water running down through me relaxes me a bit. "Just one more thing, what kind of bath do you usually give to Samphy?"

"Just an ordinary bath." she grabbed the shampoo near the sink of the bathroom. She poured a few amount on shampoo on my mane and then started to massage it. "Don't worry, I'm used to this." I have to admit, it is kind of relaxing when somepony massages your mane. After a few seconds, she stopped. "Time for your fur." she grabbed the bottle of shampoo and then started to pour some on my back. I shivered as I felt her front hooves on my back. "Looks like you're not used to this kind of thing." she said to me as she rub my back side.

"That's because I am." I smirked.

"Too bad, you're missing it out." she chuckled. After a minute, I felt her front hooves onto my flanks. I moved my flanks away from her.

"I'll just take it from here." I gave her a sheepish smile.

"You sure?" I nodded. "Samphy liked it when I'm onto his flanks." she smiled.

"What kind of a full grown stallion wants his flanks to be washed like a foal?" I thought to myself.

"Well then I haven't cleaned your neck yet." she moved in front of me. She poured some shampoo on her front hooves and then started to move her hooves up and down carefully on my neck carefully in a slow rhythm. It didn't felt relaxing as I hope it would be, heck it is even more irritating. I just closed my eyes and waited for her to finish. Amabel suddenly stopped and I felt her breath getting closer to my face. I opened my eyes and saw her moving her face closer to mine. Her eyes closed and face blushing. I backed away slowly. I suddenly slipped my hind legs causing me to fell down on the tiles. I fell on my back a bit hard. "Are you okay Pico?" said Amabel with a worried face.

"Don't worry, the monkeys are still dancing in front of Celestia." maybe I hit my head on the tiles a little too hard. I scratched my head as I grunted in pain. Amabel helped me get onto my hooves again. "Thanks for helping me wash myself, I can take it from here now." I pushed her a bit away from me.

"Are you sure?" I simply nodded. "Okay then." she lowered her head and then went out of the bathroom. But before she got out, I walked towards her with a towel.

"You might want to dry yourself up." I wiped her mane softly with a towel. "I'll just get another towel after I finished taking a bath." I smiled at her. She returned my smile with her smile. She went out of the bathroom through the door. I sighed in relief. I closed the door and then went back to the shower. "Looks like she is using me as a replacement." I said to myself as I let the warm water wash away the shampoo on my body. "I would really like to help her forget but I just don't know how." I turned off the shower and then rested my head on the wall for a few seconds. I went out of the bathroom without wiping myself with a towel since there are no towels in the bathroom. I rushed upstairs to go to my bedroom. I brought out another towel inside my cabinet. I wiped myself in front of the mirror. After I finished wiping myself, I grabbed the brush on top of the cabinet. I went back in front of the mirror. "You need to think before this situation gets out of hoof." I said to myself as I brush my mane. I heard a knock on the door of the bedroom.

"Pico are you in there? I have something to tell you." said Amabel at the other side of the door.

"Yeah sure, come in." I said without looking at the door. I heard the door opened and hoofsteps. "What do you want to tell me?" I could see Amabel walking towards me at the reflection of the mirror.

"I just want to apologize about what happened earlier inside the bathroom." she put her right hoof onto my shoulder. I turned my head to look at her.

"You don't need to apologize." I gave her a sheepish smile.

"I know I need to, because I'm using you as a replacement for Samphy!!!" she yelled. My smile slowly faded. I touched her face with my hoof.

"Do I look like Samphy?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"No." a tear fell from her eyes down to her cheeks.

"Well now I know I'm not replacing Samphy." I wiped the tear on her face.

"Then why does my head keep thinking that you are him?"

"You just need some time to realize that I am Pico and not Samphy." I smiled at her. She suddenly move her muzzle closer to mine and then locked me in a kiss. I felt my heart skipped a beat as I felt her tongue explore my mouth. After a few seconds of sudden bliss she finally released from the kiss. A trail of saliva connected my muzzle to her muzzle. I stood frozen for a few seconds before I blinked my eyes. "I don't know what to say." I murmured. Amabel smiled a bit.

"I'm sorry, I just couldn't stop myself." her face blushed.

"Uh... I know."

"Can you forgive me?" her mane covered her face a bit.

"Um... Sure." I removed her mane that is covering her face. She giggled a bit. "Just go take your bath." she nodded. She grabbed the towel behind me and then left the room. "That was a weird experience." I said to myself. I sat on the bed. "I knew this would get out of hand." I sighed and then laid my back down on the bed.
