Alicorn Nature

Diet

Rainbow licked her lips as Twilight deposited a steaming hot dish of cheesy pasta in front of her, and she smiled eagerly. Twilight smiled at Rainbow and giggled a little as the pegasus grabbed the utensils with her wings and started ravenously devouring the pasta. "You act like you haven't eaten in days, Rainbow," she noted.


Rainbow paused and watched Twilight walk over to take a seat beside her while she chewed up the pasta in her mouth. She licked her lips after swallowing and savored the taste of the cheese coating her lips. "You're just a really good cook, Twi," she complimented. "I don't know anypony who can make pasta half as good as you can."


Twilight smiled sweetly at her pegasus, then looked down at the platter she set down for herself. She lifted the lid off, then closed her eyes and inhaled as the aroma wafted through the airs and filled her with the most divine scent she could smell. She opened her eyes and stared intently down at her meal, a predatory gleam in her eyes, licking her lips and levitating a fork and knife over with cold, calculated motions.


Rainbow shifted her weight in her chair as she eyed the slab of cooked meat on Twilight's plate. She ignored it as best she could, but the smell still wafted over to her, making her want to gag. Her nose scrunched up a little and despite her best attempts to ignore it, it made her stomach churn in revulsion. She averted her gaze from it, then leaned down to her pasta and started eating it without her utensils.


"Oh, come on, Rainbow, it's not that bad," Twilight commented.


Rainbow glanced over at Twilight just in time to see her methodically stick the fork into the slab of meat, then cleanly slide the knife through it, cutting off a small piece. Twilight flashed Rainbow a mischievous grin as she levitated the fork up, then slid the meat off into her mouth. She closed her eyes and moaned as she chewed it up thoroughly. Rainbow fidgeted again. "Yeah, yeah, I know you need to eat meat to live... it's... just... well... I mean..."


"You're just not all that comfortable with it yet," Twilight surmised.


Rainbow lifted her head up and smiled sheepishly at Twilight. "It doesn't bother me that much that you do have to eat meat, it's just... ugh... the smell."


Twilight squinted at Rainbow. "You say this stinks, I say this smells, and tastes, amazing."


"Yeah, but you're an alicorn," Rainbow commented dryly.


Twilight stuck her tongue out at Rainbow playfully. Rainbow snorted and rolled her eyes. "Just make sure you brush your teeth after this, okay?" she asked. She picked up her fork again, then stabbed some of the pasta and brought it up to her mouth.


"Oh, don't worry," Twilight replied dismissively, turning her attention back to her food. She cut off another slice and devoured it with the same eagerness as the first piece, showing no signs of slowing. "Mmm..."


Rainbow shook her head and continued eating. Eventually, they finished their meals. Rainbow took a deep breath and moaned a little. "Twi, you're really good at fixing pasta. Like, really good. Have I told you that before?"


Twilight giggled, then leaned over and gently brushed her muzzle along Rainbow's shoulder. "Yes, Rainbow. You tell me that every time I fix pasta," she said in a sweet, kind voice. Rainbow smiled at her, then shifted her weight and leaned over to return Twilight's nuzzle. The pair gently brushed their muzzles against one another in slow, affectionate strokes.


Twilight smiled deviously, then hastily pulled back. Rainbow paused in surprise, then her eyes widened as Twilight's lips met hers. "Mmpf?"


Twilight giggled and then ran her tongue over Rainbow's lips before pulling back. Rainbow waited a second before licking her lips to taste Twilight, only to gag and cough as from the taste of meat lingering on her lips. Twilight laughed. "Twilight!" Rainbow groaned, gagging exaggeratedly. She stuck out her tongue and tried to spit the taste out. "Ugh..." she groaned. "I told you to brush your teeth! Thanks for that," she muttered.


Twilight levitated up a napkin to clean off Rainbow's lips, then she used her own napkin to wipe her own lips. "You still love me," Twilight stated matter-of-factly, sticking her tongue out at Rainbow.


Rainbow grinned at her. "Yeah, I do," she acknowledged.


Twilight smiled softly, then leaned over to Rainbow and planted a quick peck on her cheek. As soon as she pecked Rainbow, she pulled away and hopped out of her chair, her magic swiftly gathering up everything to clean up from eating.


"Hey, Twilight?" Rainbow asked, watching the alicorn head for the kitchen.


Twilight stopped and looked back at her. "Yes?"


"When did you get so devious?" Rainbow asked.


Twilight flashed Rainbow a playful, knowing smile. "When we got together, Dashie," she replied in a sweet, smooth voice, sending shivers down Rainbow's spine. She licked her lips again, then disappeared into the kitchen.


Rainbow nodded to herself after Twilight left. "Yeah, I thought so..." she mused.
