//------------------------------// // 10: Rainbow's Embrace // Story: Neocros 2: Light and Dark // by Samuel-Neocros //------------------------------// “Rainbow’s Embrace” ~.~~..~~..~~..~.~.~~.~.~~.~ There was a gentle, cool breeze washing over his scales, as he casually strolled by the lake. Neocros was taking one of his early morning walks, helping to strengthen his legs and get a much needed workout. However, there was something bothering him lately. Neobrine reached out to him again, in last night's dream, telling him he needs to make love with his girl. Today he was feeling off, like he might throw up somehow, but it never came. As he took step by step, the dirt dug in between his toes, as his tail dragged behind him. He had his hands on his hips, as if he was resting his hands in his pockets—despite not wearing any. The only thing he was concerned about was having sex with Dash, more specifically his urges deep inside, and he didn't know how to properly handle it. He was sometimes pressed on it by Dash in the past, and he had to tell her about the world enforcers. Come to think about it, he was surprised they didn't find out about that. The idea of sex wasn't the problem though, it was them, and his self-esteem. Neocros slowed his pace, as he glanced around looking at the grass and flowers. He personally felt bad for denying sex, but he also knew he might need to sometime now. The world enforcers must be waiting to cuff him, or whatever they intend to do after strike three. "This is insane." He thought, as he bowed his head, blowing steam out his nostrils. "I don't know what to do..." Dash had a conversation with Voss earlier, about what to do between Neocros and herself. Rainbow had been told by Samvoss that Neocros probably needed some encouragement, so she was heading over to the Boutique, to meet up with Rarity, since the only pony she knew that specialized in this would be her. When Rainbow Dash arrived, she saw Rarity placing some ribbons on a newly made dress. It was dark azure in color, with a slightly lighter blue sash around it, as well as a gold trim around the skirt. The ribbons were dark blueish green, with an almost pearl-like shine. Rainbow approached Rarity, as she turns to meet Dash. "Hey Rarity!" "Rainbow Dash!" The snow white unicorn greeted. "What brings you here?" "I came here to uh," Dash paused, realizing the possibility of somepony other than Rarity seeing her. She looked around briefly, and got close to Rarity. "I came here to find something to wear." Rarity grew curious, seeing how Dash rarely asks for something to wear, from her specifically. "Really? Why, what're you looking for specifically?" "U-uh..." Dash started to blush, hard. "I wanted to wear something for Neo?" Rarity gasped, hoof over her lips. "Rainbow Dash, you mean you're looking for lingerie?" Dash nodded, cringing. "Why I'm delighted to help find some lingerie with you!" She said, eyes starry. "What kind are you looking for? Black and lacy? Red and satin? How about white as the clouds?" "U-uhm..Rarity--" "Lingerie would definitely highlight your athletic body! Follow me, I have a brand new line available!" Rarity complimented. Rainbow Dash was blushed furiously as Rarity escorted her to the lingerie section of the Boutique. "What would Neocros like, Darling?" "Uh...I dunno," Dash replied, rubbing the back of her head nervously. "I haven't heard him say anything, though..." Rainbow remembered one time she took a small peak inside his sketchbook, and came across a page where he was drawing lingerie he saw on some advertisements at the boutique. Rarity turned her head, and was a little confused. "Haven't heard him say anything? Why hasn't he?" "W-well, he's always been embarrassed about it, plus, I rarely ask him anyway." Rainbow replied, chuckling nervously. "Ah, that's perfectly understandable. I'd have to guess he's quite a gentleman." Rarity said, as she searched for an outfit through the clothing rack. "Here we are!" Rarity used her magic to pick up an outfit from the rack. It was a par of white stockings with a matching par of panties. "Would you like to try this on? The stockings would definitely highlight your shapely legs." "U-uh...okay, I guess I can try it." Rainbow stuttered, before Rarity gave it to Dash, allowing her to carry the set into the changing room. Rarity couldn't help but feel excitement over the thought of Rainbow Dash and Neocros getting together under the moon, and more importantly what Dash would wear for her malefriend. As Dash got dressed, Rarity pulled over a few racks of clothing, to give her friend plenty of options. After a few seconds, Dash peaked her head out, feeling embarrassed. Rainbow wasn't used to wearing such clothing, aside from modeling some one time, and it was definitely her first time lingerie shopping herself. Rarity moved the curtain, causing Dash to cover her face for a second. Rarity gasped, but chuckled seeing her reaction. "Oh darling! Don't be afraid, you look marvelous!" She complimented once more. Once Rainbow removed her hoof from her face, she saw herself in the reflection. Dash did find the stockings nice, and underwear was a bonus, but it felt like something Fluttershy would wear, in her opinion. Dark was walking towards a small river, where Neocros would sometimes stop by and catch fish. It was a little quiet around, raising a little concern. As he approached the area, he could see Neocros sitting on the river bank staring at his reflection in the water. Dark could already tell something was off. It's like his friend was feeling a sense of guilt. Dark walked up, and stood 6 and a half feet away from Neocros, and asked if he was alright. Neocros turned his head a little. Dark tilted his head, wondering why Neocros was quiet. "Oh, hey Dark..." Neocros muttered. "What's up...?" "Well, I came to see if you were okay mentally." Dark said. He was a little blunt, but not in a rude way. Neocros turned away, and grunted. Dark could read Neocros like a book, as it seems the seed of doubt has taken root. Dark turned away, as he approached Neocros, standing a few feet next to him. "To be blunt, I believe you just need t' get laid with Dashie." "N-no... I can't..." Neocros stuttered. "Yes, you can!" "No... it's against the rules though..." He replied. Dark groaned, crouching down and sitting next to Neocros, one foot planted on the ground while the other curled under him. "Rainbow needs you, and I bet you need her too. Who cares what the world enforcers say?" Dark spoke. His friend remained quiet, staring at the water with a stern and...admittedly the most serious Dark has ever seen him in. Dark continued. "If you don't, Dash will—" “I’m pressured by everyone to have sex and it’s so bucking hard!! Just shut up for a second!!!!” Neocros melted down. He held onto his head, the feelings of overheating strong within his veins. Dark just sat there, eyes wide and feeling pale. He’s never seen Neocros this pent up before. Neocros lowered his head, and silence followed.  Dark could already tell he was crying, in tears over the pressure from everyone to do something he wishes he could do, but can’t because of world enforcement. Neocros slowly lifted his head, and whispered faintly. “S-..sorry...” Dark placed a hand on his shoulder. Neocros kept his head low as he felt hot tears down his cheeks. Dark took the chance to help Neocros recover. He sounded casual, but there was a hint of comfort in his tone. “Don’t be sorry. It’s definitely hard, but I will assure you, that if the world enforcers choose to be your enemy, we will fight harder than ever before.” Dark closed his eyes, and smiled. “Though I may not be with Rainbow, you’re the luckiest to even come close to her.” "...R-really?" "Yeah, sure. The fact you made it this far as a virgin, is kinda impressive now I think about it." Dark said. "But regardless, it's definitely important for you and Dash to strengthen your bond together. It's okay to feel down, but you shouldn't let a bunch'a bullies get in your way. At the end of the day, you deserve to lose your virginity to a beautiful mare like Rainbow." Neocros blinked, before he stared at the ground again. “Thanks Dark...”  Dark nodded, and patted Neocros’ shoulder. Though Dark didn't see, he felt that Neocros had a small smile. He encouraged. “Now, go get her, lil’ bro.”  “Hmph.. I will.” He replied. Neocros got up, and began to walk back home. Dark smiled, proud of himself for what he offered. Though he felt he could’ve delivered better advice, he also knew that he was on a time crunch. If he doesn’t make out with Rainbow Dash, he’ll turn to ash... ~.~~..~~..~~..~.~.~~.~.~~.~ Dashie looked into the mirror, with Rarity on standby, as she observed the wear she had on. She was wearing ocean blue stockings with a white, sea foam lace trim at the top, along with a matching pair of panties. Admittedly, despite it fitting with Neocros' element, she felt it wasn't quite right. It felt comfortable, but not what she was looking for. Rarity moved the curtain away, and thought that the outfit looked fine. "I'm not exactly happy with this one, I wanna see what else you have." Rainbow said. She and Rarity looked at their choices, and Rarity fished out another outfit. Rainbow Dash and Rarity had been trying on outfits for a little while now, coming up to no conclusion. Dash was feeling like this could be the last one she tries, before she tries again tomorrow. As Rainbow looked around, she suddenly sees one that catches her attention. The outfit was a dark magenta nightie, with a cute black bow in the center of the top, along with frilly panties, with beautiful lace patterns, and to top it off, they also had thigh high stockings that were seamless. She asked Rarity if she could try that one on, to which she nodded. After a few seconds, Dash was ready. The curtain moved, and Rainbow was staring into the mirror, wearing the outfit. The panties had a nice and snug fit on her rear, but not in an unpleasant way. The dress fit over her rear, like most dresses do, but it was short just enough to show the top of her stockings, and was transparent enough to see her panties. The bra piece was made for flat chests, so it worked perfect for the athletic Dashie. Rarity gasped, eyes wide. Rainbow gave a small gasp, and a blush coming to her face instantly. Rarity smiled, as she couldn't help but compliment Rainbow. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but stare into her reflection, and a small smile crept into her face. She really did look beautiful, and sexy. As Dash kept observing herself in the mirror, Rarity asked if that was the one. Rainbow blinked, and thought for a second. "Well...I think so, but I'm wondering if you have any in a different color other than pink?" ~.~~..~~..~~..~.~.~~.~.~~.~ As Neocros sprinted back home, Neocros kept his eyes on the mansion, and occasionally glancing at the ground to see where he was going. It was nearing nighttime, and the sky had a beautiful sunset on the horizon. Perfect setting for Neo to give Dash what she needs, and what he needs. As he thought for a second, he quickly saw Rainbow Dash flying to the mansion, easily flying past him as he ran. His eyes widened. He was planning on waiting for her, but seeing her come home before him, made him uncertain. He grunted, as he closed his eyes and remembered what Dark had said earlier today. Finally, he made his way to the mansion. He was out of breath, panting from all the running he did. Neocros glanced at his Dual Spark, and seeing the down setting for a second. He smiled. "Dark Mode... if you're even listening... thank you.. thank you for telling me to do this." Neocros whispered quietly. The Dual Spark made a soft glow, before it stopped, a way of appreciating him back. He then flicked the up setting, turning him into his Light form. The Dual Spark entered his chest, the ring on the spark quickly transforming into the dark blue ring around his core. He flew up and landed on the front doors, before transforming back, and entering. Meanwhile When Rainbow was finally done getting dressed, she simply sits there, blushing as she enjoyed her new outfit. Just when she was feeling comfortable, she heard Neocros' voice. "Hey Dash! I'm home!" He called. Dash tensed up, as she turned towards the door, biting her bottom lip. "This is it, Rainbow Dash. He's gonna see you like this, uhm..." Rainbow blushed, as she felt a drop of sweat roll down the side of her head, feeling anxious. "W-what would he think? Is he gonna reject? Will he accept?" So many questions were flowing at once, it was making her wonder if she was ready for this. As Rainbow sat there and thought, she heard his footsteps approaching the door. Before Rainbow could say anything, Neocros opened the door. "Hey Dash—oh crap!" Neocros gasped. His eyes widened, as he backs up slightly, turning his head to not peek. However, before he could leave, Rainbow quickly stopped him. "Wait! Neo! U-uh...please come in." She stuttered. Neocros was surprised for a second, but came back nonetheless. He closed the door behind him, but kept his head low. "Oh uh... hey Dashie..." He whispered. "I'm... I'm sorry i-if... if I..." "It's alright, I just...uhm..." Dash stuttered, blushing hard. "I'd thought I would impress you with this. Rarity helped pick it out." He started to look back, moving his arm away from his face, and seeing her beauty. He took a few steps forward, feeling warm inside. As he slowly approached her, Rainbow realized he was blushing as well. "Uhm... Y-you... you look beautiful... " He spoke. Rainbow's eyes widened, mouth slightly agape. "Really?" She asked, as Rainbow felt a warm, fuzzy feeling in her chest. Neocros carefully took a seat next to her. She was sitting just behind the pillows, while Neo was at the end of the bed. Rainbow Dash made eye contact with him. Neocros was thinking of telling her first, but she began first. "Uhm...can I ask you something, Neocros?" She rubbed her front hooves together, nervously. He nodded in reply. "I-i...I wanna have sex, tonight." She confessed. "I thought if I wore this, you would be more willing to.." "Hey.. Rainbow..." Neocros quietly said. He had a soft look in his face, as he gently a hand on her shoulder. "I... came to confess something, as well." Rainbow's eyes widened, and she got a little closer to him, she asked him what he wanted to confess. He closed his eyes, and took a long, thoughtful sigh. "I wish to make love, too..." Everything went quiet for a second, as it became Rainbow Dash's turn to be surprised, as her eyes shot open. Neocros had the idea as well? "But.. I don't know if I can deliver. I'm new to this, and I have the whole world on my shoulders..." He tilted his head down. "However, I realized that the reason I'm not happy now, is because I haven't connected with you, on a much more loving and intimate level, for far too long, and I'm really sorry for saying no all the time..." "It's okay, Neo," She said, softly. Dash took his hand, and guided him to her chest, holding it there with her hoof, with his palm just over her heart. "I'm sure you'll do awesome, I believe in you. Thank you..." Neocros opened his eyes slowly, and could feel a small tear well up in his eye, after hearing her. She moved closely, and kissed him on the lips. He moved his hand up, and gently caressed one of her curves. When she pulled away, Neocros moved next to her ear. "I love you, Dashie..." "I love you too." was all she said, before Neocros wrapped his arm around her lower back, and gently lowered her onto the bed sheets… ~ ~ ~ "Neocros, that was awesome...!" Rainbow nuzzled into his neck, giggling a little as she hugged him. They were both sweaty, which thankfully the wind helped cool them off after their fun.The water dragon sighed, feeling her rest on top of him, using his chest as a pillow. He held her close, as he felt his eyes close. Rainbow Dash was about to drift to sleep when she thought of something. "How were you so good?" Rainbow asked. He opened his eyes slowly. "Oh uh.. I will admit, I wasn't sure of myself.. but aside from indulging in some romance novels, I had no experience." He admits. Rainbow Dash smiled, having bedroom eyes. "Even as a virgin, you made my heart beat faster than ever before!" She nuzzled into his chest, kissing Neo carefully. As they enjoyed each other's presence, they meet each other's eyes, staring into their irises. Neocros stared deeply into her magenta eyes, while she stared into his blue orbs, full of water and life. "Can we do this again sometime?" She asked. Neocros hesitated for a second, but smiled. "Yes, my love." He held her close, while his tail rested on top of Dash's thigh. The couple slowly fell asleep, holding each other closely, listening to each other's heartbeats as he held her flanks gently. Neocros and Rainbow Dash met inside the dream realm, able to relax after giving each other the love they deserved...
