“Fluttershy, you really don’t need to trouble yourself on my account,” Rarity said, lifting her head from the table and looking over her shoulder at Fluttershy, raising an eyebrow at the supplies her friend had prepared in front of her.
Gently but firmly, the pegasus pushed Rarity’s head back into place, leaving her with a pleasant view out into the meadows surrounding Fluttershy’s cottage. “Please relax, Rarity. Oh, and it’s no trouble at all. You’ve been working so hard all week; you deserve your spa day, even if the pipes have burst down at the spa.”
Rarity nodded lightly before letting her head rest on the table. “As you wish, my dear.” She let her eyes close, smiling slightly. Fluttershy so wanted to do this for her, so she’d relax and enjoy her friend’s touch, even though Fluttershy’s hooves wouldn’t be nearly as skilled as those of a professional masseuse. And then she’d insist on giving Fluttershy the same treatment, and—
That thought, no, all thought left Rarity’s mind as she felt a jolt of electricity run up her spine, and it took her a moment before her brain restarted and she realized that it had been a cramped muscle finally loosening up. After a moment more, she had regained enough awareness to finally feel Fluttershy’s hooves on her back, and it wasn’t the oh-so-gentle, feather-light touch she had expected, but strong determined strokes, pressing hard enough to force her muscles into relaxing.
The unicorn simply melted onto the table as relaxation overtook her, and she lazily asked, “Fluttershy, dear, how did you get so good at this?”
An innocent giggle was her response. “Oh, once you’ve massaged bears, ponies are pretty easy, actually.” Rarity tried to parse Fluttershy’s words – massaging bears? – but thinking about such confusing things was beyond her at the moment, and so she simply settled down and enjoyed her massage.
Rarity had almost dozed off when a gentle voice in her ear whispered, “Rarity, if it’s okay with you, I’d like to work on your bottom.” Rarity responded with a nod and reluctantly rolled over, not even bothering to open her eyes as she felt Fluttershy’s hooves press into her chest. Her touch here was more delicate, the bottom of a pony not meant to take nearly as much abuse as their back was.
Strangely, the lighter touches kept Rarity more aware of what was happening, and so she noticed immediately when she suddenly started being massaged in four places at once. The two new sensations were as delicate and feather-light as Rarity had expected Fluttershy’s massage to be in the first place, and she realized that it was her friend’s wings entering into the fray.
With the four different points of contact all moving further down her body, Rarity was starting to feel an entirely different sensation, and she wondered if she should tell Fluttershy to stop. After a moment, she dismissed the thought; Fluttershy would be mortified to learn how she was causing Rarity to feel. There was no way the shy pegasus could know what she was doing to her, after all.
At least, that’s what she thought right up until she suddenly felt Fluttershy’s muzzle against her own. Rarity decided to return the kiss after a moment’s surprise, the pegasus’ tender lips gently teasing at hers and encouraging them to open up and let her in. As their tongues wrestled with each other, Fluttershy’s showing some surprising aggression, Rarity began to wonder just how long her closest friend had felt this way about her.
As the two parted their lips, Rarity finally opened her eyes to find Fluttershy’s beautiful aquamarine irises staring at her, filled with a worry Rarity was familiar with in her friend… as well as a hunger she was not. “Fluttershy, I… I had no idea—”
“I–I know we have to talk now, Rarity, but, if it’s okay with you… I’d like to finish your massage first.”
The tone in Fluttershy’s voice made perfectly clear just what sort of massage she was talking about, and after taking a moment to collect her wits, Rarity nodded, a smile growing on her face. The unicorn laid back her head and closed her eyes as Fluttershy started to show her exactly how talented her hooves were.
