The shock was always there, every time it happened it made her eyes fill with stars resembling her cutiemark. Twilight basked in the kiss, slightly embarrassed at the forwardness of her princess, let alone having it happen in front of Luna. She had to assume the sisters were more adventurous and open then most any pony, likely due to their age.
The unicorn could barely think as her eyes fluttered open and closed as the kiss persisted, sighing or moaning as she pressed into her Sun Goddess. As the meeting of their lips broke and she lifted the lids of her eyes and looked beyond her eyelashes at the smiling and pastel framed face of her monarch, she returned the smile, head foggy and filled with love as bright as the sunlight streaming into the dining room.
"Dear...are you sure you do not wish to have some?" Said the light alicorn, making Twilight blink and briefly become confused in her intoxicated state- drunk on love, some might say. She recalled her stomach had growled as she'd had not a thing to eat, and then saw the gold slippered hoof gesturing to the large bowl of salad.
"Ah...r-right..um, I don't want to impose, princess." She said bashfully, smiling. It was at the playfully stern face of her marefriend that she nodded "I mean..yes, of course...thank you very much for the offer...Celestia." Just as bashfully as her blushing cheeks implied, she offered a thank you nuzzle and ate a few delicious greens.
The dish did not last long, a servant clearing the bowl and offering the chef's thanks, grateful for getting to cook for a monarch, as usual. The two ponies left, Celestia's white flanks swaying, strong wings held close and comfortably against her withers. Twilight looked up at the example of perfection and beauty that she trotted alongside.
Before she could ask her wonderful princess where exactly they were going, the princess led Twilight into a large bath, though Oasis was a better word for the room. The lavender unicorn stared at a dual fountain of pearl and onyx, representing Princess Celestia and Luna, respectively, holding symbols of their astral charges, water pouring from the Sun and Moon carvings into the pool.
"Wow..." was all she could say, then an "Eep!" came from the unicorn as her princess bumped her flank with her own. Nearly stumbling, she steadied herself and followed, flustered, nearly missing the two blonde and white maned earth mares that came in, readying towels and shampoo bottles and such for the princess of daylight to use for her morning bath. "Um, did you..."
A nod answered the unicorn's question alongside that same beaming smile, pastel mane flowing without a care. Golden slippers taken off, one hoof after the other Twilight watched her Goddess step into the pool, submerging into the waters. She blushed and tried not to stare as she slowly followed suit.
The two earth mares presented what must of been the usual scents and washes and such that the princess enjoyed, cut off from attending her as a hoof raised up from the waters "You may take a break, thank you for your services." The alicorn said, smiling. The two ponies looked at each other, then to Twilight before they nodded and bowed, taking their leave.
"Um, can I...w-would it be okay if I...helped?" She asked timidly, the unicorn staring up at that gentle smile as the alicorn unfurled a wing. It came down and brushed over her head and neck, making the unicorn practically purr. Smiling and invigorated at her marefriend's encouragement, she waded over to taking some brushes.
Gently passing them over her coat when not letting some sweet scented shampoos flow over the alabaster coat, Twilight kept stroking the brush in her hoof against the soft yet strong body of her princess. Horn occasionally pulsing when she needed to float the bottles over or such. She listened to the happy sounds coming from her love and each sound was like heavenly music to her perked ears.
Wings lifted up at a nudge from the unicorn, working the brushes along the wingbases, making the alicorn of light coo and gasp softly. Her smile wide as Twilight kept brushing gently, trying like tartarus to keep her eagerness in check as she reached up to start massaging those wings.
A bright laugh and gasps of delight came from the alicorn as she couldn't help but be tickled by the brushes at her wings. Twilight watched as Celestia squirmed a bit under her touch, filled with a kind of joy and fulfillment as she leaned in, kissing at the wings before scrubbing them with soft gentle strokes.
"Ah, T-Twilight, haha..." the alicorn gasped and twitched, wings kept held up in her happy excitement from the intimate cleaning and preening. She gasped again at the sight of two other brushes lifted in a dull pink cloud of magic and then laughed more as they tenderly assaulted her other wing.
"Mmm, did you want me to stop, Princess?" Twilight asked, smiling softly even as the two brushes held in her magical grasp raised up to tease at Celestia's wingtips, making her jump and twitch in a way that made Twilight smile all the more.
"Ah, ah, hehe, n-no..not in the le-least...though I do have royal ahn- duties to attend to..." The princess said, through laughs and gasps at the delightful torture her marefriend was putting her through. A sigh of disappointment and relief came as the brushes relented in their attack.
Twilight smiled, blushing bright at the realization of what exactly she'd been doing, bowing her head for a moment as she moved on, the princess practically sparkling from how well groomed and clean she was. "Sorry about that, Celestia, I don't know what came over me." The unicorn apologized, putting the brushes away on small wooden shelves nearby, along with the shampoos.
She sighed and smiled, following the alicorn as she grabbed a few towels, gently working the princess dry. An idle thought crossing Twilight's mind, something along the lines of twin moons in the middle of the day... the unicorn wrenched her eyes to the side and bowed her head briefly to hide the hot blush. "T-thank you for letting me...for having me with you."
Turning around -thankfully- to look at the slightly damp lavender unicorn, Twilight felt her chin lifted by the soft yet powerful hoof, stare into those lovely eyes and pressed herself up into the kiss she felt at her lips. Another moan coming from her throat as the two stood, Celestia's head bowed to bring herself close enough to the unicorn.
It felt like another hour had passed by when those perfect lips left hers, Twilight's eyes lidded as she stared up at the wonderful, beautiful mare she had the privilege of being with. "Princess...I love you..." She said, voice soft, blissful. The smile on her marefriend's muzzle just grew.
"And I love you, Twilight. Now come along."
------------------------------
Eyes heavy, last book sorted and her azure magic slipping free of it, Misty Haze began to leave the library. Finally done sorting, preparing and assisting those few guards or visitors who requested books or such from the royal Canterlot library.
The shadowy blue unicorn blinked, not even getting a yawn out as she laid eyes on the bright alicorn of light and the unicorn she'd nearly bumped into last night. A low bow was how she greeted the princess of course.
"Is there something I can do for you, princess?" Asked the quiet pony, getting that strange warm smile that the princess of light always seemed to have. The librarian briefly switched focus to the unicorn.
"No, we are merely passing by. Have a nice rest, dear." The princess said, continuing down the hall and towards the throne. With a nod, the blue unicorn began to head to her room, down toward the halls for the staff for some well earned sleep.
Arriving at Celestia's throne was much like arriving at a business meeting for Twilight, guards stood stoically lining the walls while many Canterlot citizens waited in lines and bickered about money, sleights, prices, and so much more.
As soon as those majestic wings and flowing pastel mane were spotted the large group of petitioners silenced themselves and bowed. Seated at her throne, guards and her loving unicorn at her side, the princess started hearing every claim and doing away with them in the same motherly voice, no glare dared stay on a pony's face when met with the more imposing and taller alicorn.
The time flew by, Court closing for the day, as the many ponies attending were much more formal, curt, perhaps even cautious with their disputes. The princess of daylight commanding a hint more respect from the many citizens, mainly out of instinct.
The alicorn stepped down from her throne as the room was cleared of all but the two guards by the door and a scribe. "Please take any of the later notices to my study, Daybreak." she asked of the strapping unicorn, golden locks on white coat and a few clipboards hovering in his bright magical hold.
"As you wish, princess. Just call me if you need anything else" He said crisply and with a smile that was returned by his ruler. Trotting away with the scrolls in tow.
The two left the room, at an easy pace, down hallways with the few guards bowing to their ruler, always taking note of the lavender student who trotted in her wake. "Twilight, I believe there are some other matters we must attend to, I'd love if you accompanied me."
Her voice was so soothing but the bright unicorn caught on to the hint of tenseness. "Of course, Celestia. Where to?"
"Luna will be dealing with the gryphons to the north, I would like you to accompany me to the south, we have dragons to deal with." The white alicorn explained, a small smile on her face at the sight of her love's stunned expression.
