Saturday Evening

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

You awaken to the screech of Rarity, causing you to jolt out of the bed and search for her. You see her holding your shirt in one hand and a card in the other, and she was staring at the card. You can immediately imagine why she'd seem so distressed, as that was the card that officially assigned you as a Royal Guard.

You remove the covers from over yourself and toss them to the side as you start to get up from the bed. You make your way over to her slowly, and she looks over to you, panicked. "Y-you- I.. Why didn't you tell me? We- we could have.. I even yelled at you a bit when... Oh, if only I had-"

You cut her off by planting your lips onto hers. You slowly remove the card from her hand, gently and silently coercing her into letting it go. Once you had possession of it again, you broke contact with her lips. "I had planned on telling you sometime today, but.. I guess you did that for me."

"W-well of course! I was going to get the laundry done and prepare myself for meeting with Twilight this morning, and I felt something in your shirt pocket... You're.. you're royalty now?"

"I guess you could say that."

"A-and I-"

"Don't worry about that, we'll have time for whatever you want tonight, as for now though, get ready for the thing you have to do with Twilight." As you speak, you lift her up from the floor and walk with her to the bathroom. You open the door, allowing her inside.

When she gets into the bathroom, you close the door and face away, sighing. You walk to the door to her room, and you close it behind you as you walk out. You face the stairs, and as you step down the first one, you hear the shower water begin to run.

With the situation being that you had both just woken up, and since Rarity is in the shower, not to mention dealing with your rank-up, you figure you could make breakfast. You grab the apron hanging from the pantry door and look down so you can adjust it onto yourself.

Then you realize you're still naked from last night. You're quickly thankful that Sweetie Belle is away staying with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo today. So, you turn tail and head back upstairs to get a pair of pants back on. You open the door to Rarity's room slowly, and thankfully for you, she's still in the shower.

As you reach your pants that are thankfully still on the ground, you hear the shower water stop. You turn quickly to escape the sight of Rarity before she opens the bathroom door, and thankfully, you made it out before she did. You put on your pants, then went back downstairs, every so often feeling the fabric just to make sure.

You reach for the pantry once more, grabbing the apron and, now that you have pants, putting it on. You reach for an egg, some lettuce, carrots, olives, spinach and a few other types of plant in hopes to make one of your best salads for the both of you.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

You sat patiently as you waited for Rarity to come down the stairs. You had set your carefully crafted dishes on the table, a candle in-between the two of your seats. The plates contained a small amount of a perfectly cooked egg, sliced into very small bits, mixed in with a variety of vegetables, flowers and other delectable treats.

It was one of your 'famous' salads that you've fixed for Rarity and a few of her friends in the past. You hear the door at the top of the stairs close, then the hurried footsteps of the white Unicorn woman that you know and love. When she reaches the bottom of the stairs and takes a discerning sniff, she looks to you and the table.

You smile and put your hands to your chin. She starts to walk over, and you could tell that she was shocked. "You.. you made this while I was getting ready?" You nod and gesture for her to sit down. "Thank you, Sir." She says with a smile, as she sits down at her chair and gazes at her plate.

"So what has you acting so gentlemanly today? Is it because I discovered your secret, and you're trying to make up for it?" She looked to you as she took a bite, delicately savoring the mix of flavors. You look down to your plate for a moment, then you come up with an answer you feel proud of.

"I just feel as if I need to step up my gentleman game if I become Royalty. Gotta make a good first impression for Royalty if someone talks to me for a general view on them, as a lot of them act a whole lot worse. At least, from what I've experienced before." You take a bite from your own dish as you finish.

"That's a good response. We need more Royalty that acts better, to be honest." You see her roll her eyes and grind her teeth at a memory.

"So, what are you doing with Twilight today?" You look to her curiously as you take another bite.

She swallows as she thinks about it. "In truth, she has been quite vague about what she's needed help with... So I don't quite know." She lifts one of the final bites it seems she has left. You look down to your own plate, and you notice that you're almost done as well. You also notice that you're still shirtless.

You quickly finish the rest that you have, pick up the plate and move back to the kitchen. "White, do you mind taking my dishes in there as well while I find you some suitable clothes?" You hear Rarity call to you as you put your dish in the sink.

"Sure thing." You see Rarity's dish float towards you, wrapped in her magic. "Got it!" You call out to her as you reach your hands under the plate. She releases her magic, and it falls into your hands perfectly. You smile at your teamwork, if you could call it that, and set the plate in the sink.

"Thank you. Now, I'll be back with some good, clean clothes for you. Let me have your pants so I can wash them." You stop all movement when she says that. Stepping into her view, you give her an awkward, confused look. You stare at one another for a moment before she speaks up again.

"What? Sweetie Belle isn't here, and we've been naked with each other several times in the past, and you even have your apron on still." You sigh in defeat. In embarrassment, you unlatch and remove your pants. You reach them over to a smiling Rarity.

"Why thank you, I'll have your clothes ready after you take your shower. Now go." She gestures to the stairs. You take your apron off and hang it on the pantry door. You turn back to Rarity and quickly start walking towards the stairs. Thankfully, she decided not to do anything with her magic as you walked upstairs.

You went into her room and closed the door, then hurried to her bathroom and started your shower.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

Here you were, dry, dressed, looking good and ready to go, while Rarity was making her final adjustments. You stand and wait at the door, hand on the knob as you wait for her arrival. "Alright..." She says with a sigh, walking closer to you. "Ready to go?" You open the door and gesture for her to go first.

"Ready when you are."

"Why, thank you, kind sir." As she passes you, she gives you a look. "You're really trying for tonight, aren't you?" With that said, she keeps walking. You just smile and shake your head as you follow her. You turn to face the door, you lock it, attempt to twist the knob to assure the lock, and return towards Rarity.

She was exceptionally beautiful today. Her white skin was hidden by a mixture of flowing colors, a wave of azure blue on the opposing side of each leg. They were sewed onto a darker purple, nearly red, flowing dress. On the shoulders, there was a pair of furry pads, resembling fire with its color pattern.

The dress was cut to just above her knees, allowing her some leg room for everything she needed to do. She put her hands on her hips as she noticed you just standing there and staring. "Are we going to move, or are you going to keep staring at me?"

"S-sorry." You quickly catch up with her and resume the tread to Twilight's house, which thankfully isn't far. At least, that's what your memory is telling you. You had gone to Twilight's house before, as one of the guards that was assigned the duty of leading the carriage for Princess Celestia one day.

"So, what's on your mind?" Rarity asks, glancing to you with a smile.

You return the smile, still walking and following Rarity, in hopes she knew where her friend lived. "Just thinking about past events with how I used to travel around these parts. Usually, when I was ordered to go here by either the Princesses or one of the Royal Guards, I always either flew and stayed hidden or just blended in. Just.. feels odd to be out here in this town not on order, or assignment." You look to Rarity as you finish, and she's staring at her feet in thought as she keeps walking. You look forward to see the town in view.

"I can see why it would feel strange to you. If I only went somewhere to keep an eye on security, or to look for someone, or whatever it is I was currently tasked for, going there normally would seem strange to me as well, I suppose. I mean, you aren't tasked for any specific reason, so.. you're just.. there.

"Although you're with me now, and if you want, I could give you an order." Once she adds that, you turn to face her and stop walking, looking to her with a questioning gaze. "When you catch me, you must guard me at all times." Her last movement before she started running towards town away from you.

"H-hey! Wait for me now!" You start shift your own legs into over-drive in order to catch up with her. It didn't take very long, as you could full-out sprint while she could only go a bit faster than jogging. You place your hand on her shoulder, and she immediately slows down, breathing slightly heavier than before.

"Caught me, did you? Well, now you are tasked, as an order from me, to guard and protect me our entire time out." You release her shoulder from your grasp and sigh in defeat.

"Yes Ma'am." She smiles in triumph. Perhaps today won't be as bad as you think.

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

You let Rarity knock on Twilight's door as you stand to the side, out of initial view. You figure that since Twilight still had the idea that only Rarity was coming to her house, it'd be a good idea to surprise her with your added arrival. Twilight opens the door, and once Rarity makes her way in, she winks to you.

"What was that?" Twilight asks as she tries to peer behind Rarity.

"Oh, I'm sure it's nothing, Twilight. Are you sure you haven't been reading too much lately again?"

"I'm sure I'm fine, Rarity. Thank you though." She uses her magic to close the door, and you count silently as instructed from Rarity. You count to thirty, then knock on the door yourself. She had detailed that she would be temporarily using Twilight's restroom by the time you knocked.

The door opened slightly, being held in precise position by magic, so that if anyone even tried to break in, the magic would hold it still, and keep it from breaking. At least, that was the hypothesis that you came up with in your head to imagine it true. Because that would be an awesome defense spell.

You see Twilight peek her head over to the crack she made in the opening of the door, and she got sight of you. "Oh! Guard White! I-I wasn't informed that you were coming! I-, uh.. is there anything wrong?" You look past Twilight to see Rarity now coming from a recently opened door.

She looks back to Rarity and quickly, yet politely, closes the door. You hear hushed whispers between the two as you stand there, in the position of a usual soldier awaiting an order. "What?!" You hear Twilight scream in surprise before the door flew open and you floated inside, immediately being put on the new couch in her house.

You don't even have time to register what happened before you have a fresh cup of tea sitting on the table in-front of you. "Okay then." You simply say as you begin to register what she'd done to you. You look between Twilight and Rarity for a moment, and you catch a devious grin on Rarity's face for just a moment.

"Actually, Twilight?"

"What?"

You feel yourself being wrapped in a familiar magic. "He's actually been in a relationship with me for quite some time." She says as she wraps her arm around your neck.

"Whoa!" Twilight exhales as she swiftly pulls you away from Rarity.

"I said he's mine!" Rarity uses her magic to pull you back into her arms, but before you could move your arms around her, you're magically flung to the couch.

"But you said he's a Royal Guard!" Twilight exclaimed with clenched teeth.

"I said he's my Royal Guard." She pulls you back to her, then, quicker than Twilight can react, which is honestly pretty fast, she casts a spell-block shield. When she successfully blocked Twilight's attempt at taking you away, you're locked in a full-on kiss with Rarity.

Initial surprise out of the way, you wrap your arms around her and return the kiss the best you know how. When all was said and done, you turned to look at a dumbfounded Twilight Sparkle nearly on the other side of the room. "So I take it I'm done being a rag-doll now?" You look between them with a raised eyebrow.

"I.. I suppose." Twilight sighs, lowering her head in defeat.

You see her expression and become curious. "Is it a bad thing that Rarity's seeing a Royal Guard?" You turn to her, as she's still in your arms. "Why did you already tell her that I was a Royal guard and not just a normal Canterlot Guard anyway?"

"Because she deserves the truth." She quickly responds, staring at you. "Besides, it's not bad to say nice things, is it?" She says with a smile only a succubus could make. Except the fact that Rarity was more beautiful than any succubus that could ever be seen.

Rarity escapes your arms and starts walking towards Twilight, putting her hands on her shoulders and sighing. "I'm sorry if our relationship seems sudden to you. I didn't know that you weren't informed earlier. W-we've actually been together for.. about two years?" Rarity looks to you, confusion written on her face.

"Yeah, around there."

"Well.. You did always say you were seeing somebody.. I guess I just didn't fully understand your meaning."

'How does someone not understand what they mean when they say that?' You ask yourself as you stare into space.

"So, darling," Rarity speaks as she moves with Twilight to the couch. "what is it that you needed my assistance for?"

"I said I needed help? That had to have been a personal addition of Spike... I honestly just wanted someone to take care of him for a bit while I do some needed shopping and traveling for today." Twilight sat down on one end of the couch, letting us sit beside her.

"See," She continued, looking towards her room, which you could only guess was where Spike was. "I need someone to make sure he continues his healthy condition while I'm busy and away. I already tried Fluttershy, but she already has so many plans with her animals.. and I knew no one else would be trustworthy, as the other elements have jobs that they need to get done."

They keep conversing as you think to yourself. 'What would Twilight even need to have to leave so urgently to buy? And what kinda sickness is Spike going through to even need someone to keep an eye on him?' You start to make body movements as if you were asking her yourself.

'Well, with how I know her, she's a bookworm, so she probably needs quills, or ink, or paper, anything she needs to be able to conduct research or send letters to the Princess, or.. who knows who else?!' You fling your arms outwards and forwards as if you were saying what you were thinking.

It's always been a thing of yours to think out loud in your own way, and.. to everyone else, it's strange. You gather as much when you look to the side to see that they're both staring at you in confusion. "Don't mind me." You wave in dismissal as you point yourself away from them both.

"He does that from time to time." Rarity explains quickly. Soon enough, information was given, thoughts were shared and Twilight is now ready to leave, standing at the door.

"Thank you for helping me with Spike, guys."

"Of course, darling, anything to help little Spikey-wikey. Now you go along and get what you need, take however long you need, and we'll be here."

~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~

You sigh in relaxation as you sit back down on the couch. Well, it was more of a loveseat, but with the furniture you're used to, it was all couch. Spike had woken up only ten minutes after Twilight had left, and Rarity and him talked for what seemed like hours.

Rarity had a bit of a hard time getting through to Spike that Twilight would be back soon, and that she hadn't left him with her and you. Honestly, you didn't expect that Spike would complain being around Rarity. Must be because she's seeing someone else right now.. A.K.A you.

With your elbows on your knees, bending forward, you furled your wings out and gave them a nice, long, needed stretch. However, that not being enough for your wings, you give them a few solid flaps. A few books have a few pages flipped as you hear the paper move forcefully.

You look to them as they settle, and you hope Twilight won't notice too much of a difference. You heard footsteps on the wooden floor coming towards you. Looking over, you see Rarity in all her grace, delicately walking towards you, slightly swaying her hips with each step.

"Spike is asleep again now..." She sighed as she sat next to you. "At least it didn't take too long."

"That wasn't long? You were in there for, like, an hour." You protest, facing yourself towards her.

"Oh darling, that was not an hour, and you know it. Besides, I just had to sing him a few songs so he could go to sleep again. It's important that he stays in bed, Twilight said that herself, remember?" She tossed you a look, as if to say she won.

In all honesty, in this situation, she did. There was only one thing you could do. "I guess you might be right." You shuffled your way over to her, plant your lips on her neck and slowly coerce her to lay down. You keep giving her light pecks and kisses on her neck, embracing her from several angles with your hands.

She let out occasional cute moans and gasps from your movements on her body, and that was encouragement enough that you were doing something right. She was breathing deeply, enjoying every moment.. as far as you could tell. You were hoping to high Cloudsdale that she was enjoying this.

Getting bored, you quickly move your kisses to her cheek, then quickly heading down, avoiding her lips on purpose as you dive down to the bottom of her chin. Moving ever downwards, you kept your movements at speed, dragging your lips across the front of her neck, causing her to sigh and relax.

You stop your kissing to give your lips a much needed break, and you look into the half-lidded eyes of Rarity. You move in to give her a peck on the lips, but before she could properly react and return the favor, you moved your focus onto her horn, going ever so softly.

With a few seconds of that, you know you've damaged her focus enough for her to not be able to cast magic. You move your hands to the prime position on her sides, give her a devilish grin, and start tickling. She bursts out in unexpected laughter, trying to force you away, yet failing.

"S-stop it!" She rushed out between laughter. Smiling, you cease your attacks and place your hands on each side of her, still looming above her. "That was evil, and you know it."

"Yeah, well, I couldn't let you get riled up too early, now. Besides-" The sound of the door opening caused you to stop and look, and Twilight could see the both of you, several bags in tow beside her with her magic. She blushes slightly and looks away as she closes the door.

"Sorry if I interrupted anything. Has Spike been okay?" She called out to you and Rarity as she entered her kitchen.

"Spike just recently fell asleep again." She called back as she got up from the couch, hitting you in the face with her tail. You jump as it comes in contact, then the feeling of the hair trailing your skin relaxes you. Looking up to her, you see that she's giving you a mischievous grin.

You have no idea what's going through her head, and you're pretty sure you don't want to know.

After things were settled as you waited outside, as per Rarity's instructions, you both walked back to the boutique. The trip was silent, as neither of you really had anything to say, as you were both anticipating tonight. You'd given it less thought than you'd wanted, honestly.

Rarity unlocks the door and lets the both of you inside. When you reach the stairs, she locks the door and catches up to you. She holds onto your arm as you walk up the stairs, hidden by the darkness. You reach for the doorknob of her room, and thankfully, you find it quickly, as you feel the familiar texture.

"You're in charge of whatever we do tonight. That's your gift for.. well.. one, being Royalty, and two, being so gentlemanly to me today." You tense and get nervous as you hear those words when she releases your arm. You can see this going two ways.

Problem is, either way, you're scared out of your mind.


Author's Note

Next night, things get.. quite personal.
And by that I mean it includes things I like as sexy material.

By the way, if you haven't noticed, I like to keep the days, or the evenings, as the normal, T-rated chapters, so people that don't want clop can just read the evenings and not the nights. Those that want the clop can read the nights as well.

Also, sorry for the big delay with this chapter. Studies, Starcraft 2 and sudden writer's block kept me busy.

Also, I'm not used to relationship things. Never been in one, and I never plan to be in one for a while because reasons.

Also, another hidden song link in the first bit of story down to the first line cut.

Also, if there's anything about this chapter that you don't like, or you have any tips or ideas of what to do next, just let me know, and the next evening will be better, hopefully, if this wasn't good enough.

Also, I say "also" every time I make a new edit.

Also, I hope the number count of this chapter slightly makes up for the huge delay. Next night will be written fairly quickly.
