The Kiss That Shall Wake Her
Rainbow yawned, stretching under the covers as the sun’s morning light streamed into Twilight’s bedroom. She cracked open her eyes and rolled onto her back, staring up at the vaulted crystal ceiling. Twilight had stayed up exceptionally late last night, and she literally had to beg for her to come to bed. Around two in the morning, Twilight had finally acquiesced and had let Rainbow lead her to her bed. They had snuggled up, and Rainbow wasn’t all too surprised to find that Twilight was already asleep before she had gotten comfortable.
Rainbow let out a long, deep sigh, her bedhead fluttering in its breeze. She glanced over at Twilight and smiled. Rolling over, she ran a hoof through her marefriend’s mane and slid closer to her.
“Morning, sleepyhead...” Rainbow murmured. She flicked her tail to land around Twilight’s rump and unfurled a wing. Laying it over Twilight’s back, Rainbow gently shook her lover. “Want to get up? I’ll make us a big ‘ol pot of coffee...” When Twilight didn’t respond, she lifted an eyebrow and peered at her.
Twilight was still fast asleep. Even though she knew Twilight was a heavy sleeper, she had thought that that would have been enough to wake her up. She heard a bunch of fillies run outside their bedroom window, their voices loud enough to be heard clearly through the open window. Much to her disbelief, their high-pitched voices did little to stir Twilight awake, and yet there she lay, snoring like a hibernating bear.
Rainbow leaned closer to Twilight. She held her breath and turned her muzzle to the side as she closed the gap between them. Her eyes drifted shut as she laid a small kiss on Twilight’s lips, then she whipped back in a flash. She expected Twilight to groan and wake up like she usually did when she did that, but instead she started to snore even louder.
She held onto her smile for a few moments only for it to melt into a frown. Rainbow Dash looked at Twilight’s mane, all ruffled up like Scootaloo’s mane sticking out in the air. With a smirk spreading across her face, she reached out to her mare’s nose and tickled it.
She held her hoof to her mouth to contain her chuckles as she watched Twilight stir around in her sleep, much like a pig would do in a pig pen. Twilight unceremoniously rolled over onto her back then settled onto her other side, her back facing Rainbow.
With a sly grin, Rainbow lifted a wing out from under the covers and brought it up to Twilight’s muzzle. She dragged the tip of a feather across her nose, making her push it away with a hoof. After waiting a few seconds, Rainbow did it again, this time making Twilight roll back over to face her. Much to Rainbow’s surprise, Twilight laid her head on her outstretched hoof. Now that the fun was over, Rainbow found herself back where she started, staring at her girlfriend snoring, still sound asleep.
Dash scooted closer to Twilight and wrapped a wing around her back, closing her eyes and sighing as she felt the warmth from both of their coats threaten to lull her back to sleep. She knew that she couldn’t afford to spend the entire morning in bed; she had a full day of training after all. On the weekends, she was more than happy to sleep in all day, but not today. Laying awake here while Twilight slept felt unusual to her, mainly because she would be the one napping and Twilight would be the one trying to wake her up.
Now she knew what Twilight had to deal with. Dash snickered as she remembered the kiss she had laid on Twilight’s lips. It had felt like she was kissing a mummy, but that wasn’t going to stop her from what she was about to do.
Rainbow shook Twilight again, this time a little bit rougher than before. When Twilight didn’t wake up, Rainbow folded her wing back to her side and slid back a little bit, getting into perfect kissing range. If she wasn’t going to wake up from being shaken, then Rainbow was gonna wake Twilight up by kissing her.
With a soft smile on her face, Rainbow carefully got up and plopped down on top of her marefriend. She used a hoof to lift Twilight’s head from the pillow then let her head drift downwards until their lips met. Wait, why are Twi’s lips wet? Rainbow thought as her eyebrows furrowed. Rainbow pulled back, only to realize that it was probably her own saliva from earlier.
With a roll of her eyes, Rainbow leaned back down and poked her tongue out, prodding at Twilight’s lips. Assuming that she was still fast asleep, Rainbow smiled as she pushed in, only to feel Twilight’s tongue suddenly move against her own. Her eyes went wide and she pulled back just in time to see Twilight let loose a yawn.
“Morning, ya sleeping beauty,” Rainbow said as she slid off of her marefriend. She snuggled back up to her and laid her head back on the pillow. “You know, you’re kinda hard to wake up. I shook you a ton, but I guess you could only wake up from a kiss from your one true love, eh?”
Twilight giggled. “Oh, I woke up the first time you shook me, Dashie,” Twilight shot back with a playful grin.
“Wait, what?” Rainbow cocked an eyebrow. “You were awake the whole time?”
Twilight nodded and smiled at her. “Mhm.”
“Well then why didn’t you just get up?”
Twilight laid a small smooch on the tip of Rainbow’s muzzle, a small blush tinting her cheeks red. “Because I wanted to see what you would do. And don’t worry, you are my one true love.”
“You don’t have to remind me, Twi. I know you love me.” Rainbow leaned back in and laid a quick peck on Twilight’s cheek. “And did you like how I kissed you to try and wake you up?”
“Enough that I want you to do it every morning,” Twilight said with a giggle, her blush deepening. She leaned in for another kiss, but the sound of her alarm clock ringing made her pause.
Rainbow Dash groaned. “Ugh... I hate that thing. You know that sound is super annoying, right?”
Twilight giggled. “Well, I do kind of need it to wake me up if you’re not here.”
Rainbow crossed her forelegs and huffed. "It also means you gotta leave."
Twilight’s smile vanished from her face as she sighed. “I’m sorry, Rainbow. As much as I want to lay back down with you, I can’t just ignore the assignments the princess gives me.” She leaned over and gave Rainbow a small kiss on the check, making Rainbow Dash return the favor. “I’ll see you later.”
Rainbow Dash didn't even bother to look up as Twilight walked towards the door. Though as soon as she heard the doorknob start to turn, her eyes snapped open wide. She felt her heart beat faster, and she knew that she just couldn’t let her leave like that.
She flew over to Twilight and grabbed her foreleg. Turning her around, she silenced Twilight even before she said anything with a kiss. She broke it off and smiled at the stunned alicorn. “Just hang with me a little while longer? I hate to see you walk away sad, and I think another ten minutes of snuggling can definitely fix that, so... what do you say?”
Twilight's ears flatten to her head as she turned away. "Rainbow..."
"Twilight, please." Rainbow Dash lifted Twilight's chin up and their eyes met. "I know this is being selfish, but I feel like I can't have you to myself anymore since now you're a Princess." She kissed her again. "Just a few minutes is all I'm asking."
Twilight cracked a smile and nuzzled her cheek. “You know... I think we can sleep in for just a little bit longer.” Rainbow blushed and glanced away, only to feel Twilight’s hoof upon her cheek, guiding her back to look at her. Rainbow opened her mouth to say something, but instead of words coming out, she felt Twilight’s tongue coming in. She let Twilight take the lead, their tongues dancing a quick tango of love.
As time seemed to slow down, Twilight broke the kiss. “Now, you said ten minutes, right?” Rainbow nodded, a hopeful look upon her face. She leaned in close and whispered in her ear, “Why not the rest of the morning?”
