Fluttershy munched quietly on her big bowl of salad. This time of year was great for leafy greens, and she could taste the crisp freshness of her lettuce. In between bites, she looked over to Rarity, her head poking out from a mound of yellow scales as she levitated a much smaller bowl to her mouth, letting the greens fall in. It reminded Fluttershy of how ponies ate in her Neighponese mangas. She had offered to uncoil Rarity, but her friend insisted that she didn't need her limbs to eat lunch. Fluttershy didn't mind, it was just more intoxicating warmth for her serpentine form. As Rarity swallowed, the coil around her neck could feel every movement of Rarity's throat. The motion of the cartilage was like a tiny hoof rubbing up and down, lightly tickling Fluttershy's scales.
Before long, both mares had finished their lunches, and Fluttershy's tail tip ferried the empty bowls to the sink.
"That tail does come in handy, doesn't it?" Rarity said. "Thank you for the salad, Fluttershy. It was simply divine."
"Oh, don't mention it. I should be thanking you for helping me eat these veggies while they're still fresh," Fluttershy replied, licking the last of the vinegar from her lips.
With a massive heave, Fluttershy hoisted Rarity up and slithered back into the living room. Despite their massive bulk, the coils moved effortlessly, their sheer strength making it seem like they were weightless. Rarity could feel them tensing and loosening all around her as they shifted around slightly, deeply massaging her body from the altering bouts of pressure. Yet, Fluttershy's grip gradually tightened from the motion, and by the time Fluttershy set Rarity's scaly prison on the floor, the coils had grown tight to the point where she could hardly breathe. Yet, Rarity remained silent. To feel such power completely seize her filled her with a sense of euphoria that was unmatched. The silky scales pressing into her fur tightly, the gel-like snake muscle creating a full-body cast of her, so tight that she could barely move a muscle in resistance...she enjoyed it a lot more than she would have admitted. Unfortunately for her, Fluttershy had noticed that her grip had tightened a bit as she had slithered, and loosened her coils once Rarity was stationary. She was still firmly wrapped up, but she could at least breathe normally again. The white mare couldn't help but flash a quick pout while Fluttershy wasn't looking.
"You know Fluttershy, your embrace reminds me of a better version of a full-body compression at the day spa," Rarity mentioned. "In fact, I bet you could make some bits on the side with this new form of yours."
"Oh, no, I could never dream of it. I don't want to hurt anypony," Fluttershy said, crossing her forelegs across her barrel.
"I know you wouldn't, Fluttershy, but as a former lamia I can assure you it takes a lot to hurt a pony. In fact, perhaps we can practice right now if you'd like," Rarity said, flashing a look of assurance to her concerned friend as she folded her ears down in a submissive gesture. She hoped that Fluttershy would get the hint without having to resort to her begging to feel that incredible power at its full strength.
"I don't know..." Fluttershy said, her gaze trailing off. Her eyes meandered back to Rarity, and seeing such a pleading face with folded ears stirred some motivation deep within her. "Alright, let's go slow to start...and if it starts to hurt, just say so."
"Don't worry darling I'll-" Rarity's voice was cut short when she felt a powerful ripple through Fluttershy's coils draw them in, delivering a breathtaking squeeze with just a fraction of their strength. Rarity had to concentrate hard to not let her eyes roll back into her head from the amazing sensation. Fluttershy wasn't even trying, and Rarity could barely breathe. Through labored breaths she struggled for air, loving the feel of her trunklike neck seized by blissfully cozy coil. "Mmm...yes...you're doing great...now try going...a little tighter..."
"Tighter...okay..." Fluttershy said as she sent another massive ripple through her coils. She was beginning to feel Rarity's skeleton defined more and more with each passing second. She tried to focus the pressure on Rarity's more cushiony regions like her flanks and stomach, while pressing in on the small of her back. Rarity's coos of delight were certainly encouraging, and spurred Fluttershy to not stop in her squeezing. Not to mention, the tighter Fluttershy constricted, the more of Rarity's euphoric warmth seemed to seep into the surrounding snakeskin. It was like she was wringing every last drop of blissful heat out of Rarity's body, like if she was simply a orange to be squeezed for juice. The thought disturbed Fluttershy, yet it slowly, somewhat in part due to Rarity's incessant cooing, began to excite her.
"Hnnnk...t-...tighter...darling..." Rarity said. The coil around her neck was reducing her windpipe to the width of a straw, to say nothing of her rapidly decreasing lung capacity. Her heart raced in her chest with the sheer rush that she was feeling, and Rarity didn't want to relinquish this wonderful embrace until she could no longer breathe at all. She was challenging herself to see how far she could go, knowing that, if she went too far, Fluttershy would immediately release her grip.
Fluttershy smiled as she, too, reveled in the act. To hold a pony in her coils was one thing, to slowly squeeze them into submission was something else entirely. It was awakening some sort of instinct within her; it felt so inexplicably right. Fluttershy's heart raced as Rarity's did, and she drew close to her prize, just drinking in the contorted smiling as Rarity gasped for each and every breath, struggling to prolong the inevitable surrender. It was she who was making her friend feel so good, and a strong sense of power welled within Fluttershy. It was something she had never really felt before, and every second of Rarity's futile struggle just drove it more and more in her head. She was powerful, she was in charge, she was in complete, total control...
Rarity's eyes rolled back down out of her head, and her frantic blinking gave way to a wide eyed stare.
"Fluttershy...your...eyes..." Rarity squeaked out, her eyes focusing as she watched in awe at the rings of mystical light that pulsed outwards from the centers of Fluttershy's pupils. They were beautiful, magically compelling, and Rarity could feel each ring wash over her mind, filling her with an indescribable joy that welled more and more with each passing second. Her pupils dilated, trying to get as much of this wonderful, jaw-dropping light as possible. Fluttershy's eyes with like shining beacons, with each ring burning away more of Rarity's worries and concerns to leave an empty-headed bliss. When Rarity failed to draw any breath, her mind took that as a signal to completely surrender to the colors, letting them explode across her own eyes as well.
"R-Rarity?" Fluttershy said, the sudden sight of weird lights in her friend's eyes pulling her out of her power fantasy, returning her own eyes to normal. When her coils failed to feel Rarity's barrel expand, as well as the slight blue tinge that crept onto her cheeks, Fluttershy immediately released her grip on Rarity's body. She gasped deeply for air as the coils fell away to the floor, the shock of cool air on her fur making the spirals slow in her eyes, but not go away completely. "Rarity, what's going on? Snap out of it!"
In Rarity's mind, the whole universe was just a fuzzy blur that began to melt together. Everything aside from Fluttershy's eyes had grown to be out of focus, feeling distant and muted. However, Fluttershy's voice alone rang clear as crystal in the air. She heard the phrase 'Snap out of it', and her mind, and as if a switch had been flipped, rose out of the trancelike state it had fallen into. Everything began to come back into focus, and the bubbly euphoria that filled her subsided. Her thoughts slowly began to return, as if she had waken up from a long sleep.
"Fluttershy...what...what happened?" Rarity stammered as she shook her head, the spirals fading from her eyes until her vision was as clear as her mind.
"I don't know, I was just squeezing you and then your eyes starting filling with glowing rings. You stopped breathing and couldn't say anything, so I released you from my coils," Fluttershy said, throwing her forelegs around Rarity's neck, relieved to see that he friend was alright.
"Ah...yes, it's coming back to me, I remember now," Rarity continued. "I noticed you hovering in front of my face, but your eyes were filled with such...beauty..."
A single ring of light pulsed across Rarity's eyes, the very memory of Fluttershy's gaze sending a wave of relaxation through her.
"Did you not know that you can hypnotize others with your eyes?" Rarity asked.
"What? No, I didn't know that!" Fluttershy replied. "Could you do that? I'm sorry! I don't know how it happened!"
"Oh Fluttershy, calm down. It's quite enjoyable. I learned how to do it with Twilight, but we decided that it was best to just keep it our little secret. We were afraid that the others would...take it the wrong way," Rarity continued.
"You mean, you don't hate me for it?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh no, not at all, Fluttershy," Rarity said, tapping Fluttershy's snout affectionately. "In fact, I was going to say I wouldn't mind if you did it again."
"Hmm...okay, I guess...but I don't even know how I did it the first time," Fluttershy said, averting her gaze.
"Hmm, well if you're anything like me, it kind of just happens when you feel a swell of confidence in yourself, like when you feel like you're the queen of the world and whatever you say goes. You have to mentally imagine yourself being projected on another. Go ahead, try it," Rarity said.
"Okay...if you say so," Fluttershy said, slowly turning to meet Rarity's gaze. She looked deeply into Rarity's eyes, trying to make something, anything happen. She stared in silence for five whole minutes; any sense of power she might have had gradually crumbled as she slowly watched Rarity's smile fade.
"Hmm...well, it's fine Fluttershy. I suppose this sort of thing has to happen naturally rather than being forced," Rarity said. With a normally demure mare like Fluttershy, Rarity was surprised she had been able to project hypnosis at all. Perhaps Fluttershy had a more dominant side buried deep inside her, and Rarity thought that maybe her afternoon mission would be to try to bring it out.
"Oh, I'm so sorry to disappoint you," Fluttershy meekly replied, burying her face in her hooves in shame.
"You're never a disappointment, Fluttershy," Rarity said, trotting over and giving Fluttershy an affectionate nuzzle. "I know you'll get the hang of hypnotizing soon enough."
"Still, isn't that a bit rude to do? Remember when Starlight hypnotized us?" Fluttershy said.
"Oh no no no, darling," Rarity continued. "What she did was straight mind control. It was cold and forceful, awful stuff, really. True hypnosis makes you feel grand, like you're surrounded by cotton candy clouds, without a care in the world. There's nothing wrong with casting spells on your friends...with their consent, of course. Come on, let's wrap me up again. Slowly, this time, so you can enjoy it."
