Forbidden Sibling Love
“I love you too, li’l sis. I love you more than you can imagine.”
This, and the soft but firm lips on her own, made Flitter melt away. She felt safe, snug and loved.
I can’t believe this happened! Finally she’s mine!
Flitter leaned in, strengthening the kiss and holding Cloudchaser in an embrace with her wings. Time seemed to freeze until another thought struck her mind, this time with pain.
What will mother and father say? What will my friends say? This is wrong…
Tears started to fell down, her chest struggling with pain and knowledge. She broke the kiss with her sister. Her warm and loving gaze fast turning into fear.
“You’re regretting it, am I right, li’l sis?” Cloudchaser's voice sounded hurt “Please, Flitter, we can do--”
Flitter didn’t even hear the rest of the sentence. She spread her wings and took off, quickly flying away from the one she loved but couldn’t at the same time, leaving a trail of tears behind her in the air, with the shouts and cries of her sister following her unheard.
She tried to put some distance between them, after a while landing on a small cloud, her mind still full of pain, fear and self-doubt, and with the bitter feeling that her forbidden love would never be approved of. Not by her parents, not by her friends, and not by the world at all.
I love my sister in a way I can never share.
Thinking about her sister and what she would do now, Flitter began crying, crawling deep into the cloud. She stood in the way of her sister's dreams. Firstly her dream to be a wonderbolt one day. She doubted that incest would be approved by them.
What should I do now? I can’t just shut my feelings down.
The cold air took grip around her, making her shake terribly. With Flitter about to lose all hope, she heard wings gliding through the air.
Looking up and expecting to see Cloudchaser, she instead stared into Rainbow Dash’s gaze.
“What are you doing here alone Flitter? I could hear you from all way up on my napping cloud.” Rainbow indeed looked like she was roughly awakened.
“I’m sorry, Rainbow. It wasn’t my intention to disturb you, please go back to your… uh… napping.” She blushed slightly but her mind soon wandered back to her sister, and her tears began to flow again.
She continued crying until she felt something soft, causing her to jump up. Looking at her side she saw Rainbow laying down next to her, holding a wing over her. Rainbow smiled and gently brushed her wing over Flitter's back, causing the cold to go away nearly instantly.
“You seemed freezing, sorry. Anything you wanna talk about Flitter?” Her smile was honest and Flitter felt too lost to simply deny it.
“I did some things today… I don’t know if I’m regretting them or just being scared of them,” Flitter said, her voice unsteady and faint.
“Cloudchaser?” came the dry question.
“How do you…?” Flitter started, but soon a hoof covered her mouth, making her stop.
“I’m not dumb, Flitter, and I saw you preparing that cloud with the perfect symbol at top that you would only recognize in the moonlight.”
Rainbow looked seriously at her. “While I might not like your actions you are still my friend, and I’m trying to help you as much I can. It feels wrong, but my loyalty stands with you, not with any of those laws forbidding anything like this.”
“Thank you Rainbow.” She smiled, but only briefly before a look of fear returned to her face. “What should I do now? Our parents, our friends, her dream! Everything will be gone if we continue this.”
“Flitter you are not thinking straight! You two are sisters with a stronger bond than most have! You do everything together, hang out most of the time with each other. Why would anypony think anything was weird if you two walk together through the park, or go to a movie, or just to a restaurant for dinner? Besides that you’re living together. So you have more than enough time to yourselves in private, even if you have to watch out in public.”
Flitter's jaw dropped, leaving her totally speechless. Rainbow was right, and she had been too blind to see it.
She is right. It could be so easy, or not? Maybe… not really… but is Cloudy even willing to do this anymore after I left her?
“Rainbow?”
“Yeah?” She lifted her wing, looking at the greyish-blue mare.
“Do you think it would be better to start slowly and see how it works out? I don’t want to hurt her or rush into something she would feel uncomfortable with after some time,” Flitter said, surprised by her own words.
“That would be a good idea, but don’t wait too long, Flitter, or you might miss your opportunity.” Rainbow smiled at her, folding her wing back. “Now go, and don’t let that fear distract you ever again. For any relationship, no matter what relationship, you have to be bold, brave and gentle.” The cyan mare sighed. “And don’t you dare tell anypony I gave you a mushy lecture!”
Flitter unfolded her wings, hugging Rainbow tightly for a few seconds before jumping into air and racing towards the familiar big cloud. She wanted to be back at Cloudchaser's side again, as soon as possible, and scanned the cloud looking for her sister. As she arrive, a smile stole its way down her muzzle.
Cloudchaser was sliding down the slide, and came to a stop in front of Flitter with a worried expression. “You’re back, li’l sis. I thought you would need time, but was also afraid you’d never come back.”
Flitter stormed forward, tackling her sister and burying her muzzle deep in her fur while crying. “I’m so so sorry! It’s just that I’m scared and I don’t want to hurt you or crush your dreams with my dumb actions.”
Cloudchaser hugged her with a wing, holding her tight. “You could never hurt me. You’re my li’l sister, Flitter, and that will never change,” she sighed, “but… if you are willing to give it a try, then we could take it further.”
“Wait. I have to explain why I left you after the kiss… I was being dumb because my mind got attacked with thoughts of what our parents would think, our friends, and what would happen to your dream… but I know we can do this if we start carefully, without any haste.” She looked deep into her sister's beautiful eyes. “We may have to hide it from public, but since we live together and are sisters, this might be possible.”
“What do you mean, li’l sister?” Cloudchaser looked worried.
“Everypony knows we’re sisters, right? And everypony also know we do most things together, and that we are inseparable.” A slight nod from Cloudchaser. “So why should they suggest anything if we go to see a movie, or eat in a restaurant, or just spent time with each other?” She smiled.
“They won't!” came the happy response from her sister. “And because of that we can enjoy each other's company anytime we want!”
Flitter stepped forward, unfolding her wings and gave her sister a soft embrace. “But promise me something, Cloudy.”
“Anything you want, my love,” she responded, planting a small peck on Flitter's muzzle.
“We start slowly, and see how it works out. If something goes wrong or we can’t continue, please promise me that we’ll still be sisters like before, and won't back away from each other.”
Cloudchaser smiled wholeheartedly, her voice barely a whisper. “I can promise you that, my love” She closed her sentence with a kiss, pressing her lips on the sweet ones of Flitter, fully enjoying the moment.
Flitter leaned into the kiss, enjoying the taste of her sister, a small whiff of strawberries mixed with the a bitter hint of a rain cloud. For her, this taste was perfect, and it robbed her mind of every clear thought.
Breaking the kiss after what seemed to be hours, Flitter caressed her lover with a small touch of her wings. “Let’s go home, Cloudy. It's late. But this was the best Hearth’s Warming Eve in my life.”
“For me too, li’l sis” Cloudchaser responded, nuzzling her love's muzzle before planting a kiss on it.
Together they made their way home, holding each other close with their wings while walking.
The next days were spent in harmony, both mares doing their work before coming home to enjoy the company of each other or going out. Nopony except Rainbow suggested anything, as the sisters had always been more than close.
Looking at the calendar, Flitter's eyes went wide. New Year’s Eve was in three days and she didn’t have anything planned for that day with her love. Feeling a soft touch on her side she jumped up, just to look into the beautiful eyes of Cloudchaser.
“Whatcha doin’, li’l sis?” She pecked at Flitter's cheek, and Flitter's legs felt unsteady.
Flitter sighed. “I just remembered that New Year’s Eve is in three days, and I still have nothing planned for it. But I would like to spend time with you and--” She was stopped by soft, warm lips on hers.
“You worry way too much, my love. You handled Hearth’s Warming Eve just fine, so please let me take care of New Year’s Eve.” Cloudchaser grinned after leaning back. “You’ll love what I have planned!”
“A bit for your thoughts, Cloudy?” Flitter tried her best while winking playfully at Cloudchaser.
“Heh. Nice try, li’l sis, but you’ll have to wait til New Year’s Eve to find out,” came the mumbled response.
“Awww… but, Cloudy, that’s unfair!”
“Well, I’m sorry about that, but I hope the day will make it up for everything. And no, I won’t tell ya a single bit.”
Flitter jumped forwards, taking Cloudchaser into a warm embrace and heading for her ears. She nibbled on them, causing her love to shiver. “T-That’s more th-than u-u-unfair now, li’l sis!” moaned Cloudchaser.
“I thought you loved unfair games?” Flitter leaned back and gave her a small kiss, looking deep into her eyes, before her expression turned worried. “Is it too much Cloudy?”
“No, no, my love. It’s just that it's hard to concentrate with you doing that, and I reaaaally really want this to be a surprise for you. So please let it be a surprise, pretty please?” Cloudchaser used her puppy eyes, something Flitter wasn’t prepared for.
“Its fine, Cloudy, I’ll stop. I just can’t wait to see what you have planned for that day.” She sighed and scraped at the ground with her hoof.
“We've not even been together since four days and I’m already feeling it's like our anniversary.” Her cheeks reddened and she looked down.
“You’re damn cute, do you know that, li’l sis?” Cloudchaser pecked at her forehead “But now we should get ready for work. Please concentrate today, okay? No need to get hurt while thinking about me.” She winked, extracting herself from the embrace.
You don’t have any idea how hard that is, Cloudy.
“I’ll be fine, Cloudy, just you try to focus on your orders today.” She winked back, walking to the bathroom.
Flitter brushed her mane and placed a bow on her head. Once she was satisfied with her look she went to the kitchen, where she saw her sister sipping on a coffee, her saddlebags already on her back.
“You’re leaving early today, Cloudy. A load of work to do today?” Flitter asked while toasting some bread for breakfast.
“Nope, but gotta do some other stuff first. Can’t wait til after work,” she answered, putting her cup into the sink and heading towards her little sister. “Have fun and don’t forget me!” She kissed Flitter's cheek and left the house, leaving Flitter alone.
I’m so excited! I'm sure she’s preparing my surprise for New Year’s Eve!
The greyish-blue mare continued making her breakfast while whistling happily. Everything would be great. Rainbow had been right — nopony suggested anything because they’ve been always more than close. She still had an hour to go before work, so she relaxed a bit, eating her breakfast once it was ready. Wondering what her sister's surprise would be. Her heart wanted to jump out of her chest.
If it takes so much preparation, it has to be something awesome. I love her so much!
Smiling, she cleaned the kitchen before putting her saddlebags on and heading for work. The next days would be really good in her opinion. At the side of her sister, nothing could beat her.
***
Flitter laid on a cloud, her wings unfolded at her sides, black in some parts and smoking.
“That’s the third time today, Flitter. Would you try to forget about her for just a little while so we can finally get some work done?” Rainbow shouted, causing her to jump up.
“I’m sorry, Rainbow, I’ll try to concentrate.” She let her head hang, feeling guilty.
Cloudchaser had told her about the surprise for New Year’s Eve yesterday, but without revealing its nature. It was driving Flitter insane, wanting to know that so badly that she forgot to watch out for the lightning wranglers pushing the thunderclouds.
I’ll follow her tomorrow, but for now I should watch out before I die here…
Trying to focus on her work, Flitter finished it without any further accidents. At her way home in the evening she felt tired and hurt, only the thought of her sister waiting at home kept her in the air. Her wings were burnt in some places and the rest of her feathers were a mess. It was a wonder she could still fly at all. She would definitely need a proper preening and she felt her heart jump at the thought her sister could help.
Bad idea. Its way too early for such things with her.
Flitter ran straight to the shower after reaching home and relaxed, glad the water removed nearly all the black spots from her feathers. Maybe her sister wouldn’t see anything if she ran straight into her room and silently got the preening done. Sadly her plans were ruined by her sister again, who stood in front of the bathroom, looking almost hurt.
“You’re still locking the bathroom, my love. How old are we, five? I doubt there's anything on your body I haven’t seen yet, so would you be a dear and keep the door unlocked?” She glared at her, leaving Flitter unsure about whether she was angry or… something else.
“I’m sorry sister, it was just automatic behaviour I guess.” Flitter saw the look on her sister's face when she shook her wings.
“What happened to your wings, li’l sis?” She reached forward, grabbing Flitter's left wing and unfolding it a bit. “I told you to concentrate, my love.”
“I just hit a small thundercloud. Don’t worry — all it needs is a proper preening. I’ll go do now.” She took a step back, taking her wing out of her sister's grasp, and headed towards her room, only to be stopped by a wing blocking her path.
“You want help with it?” Cloudchaser smiled wholeheartedly at her, trust and love in her eyes.
This caused Flitter's brain to go in panic mode. “Uhm… n-no, Cloudy! I can do it by myself. You don’t have to so… I’d better do this alone.”
With a small flap, Flitter jumped over her sister's wing, ran into her room and quickly locked it behind her after slamming it shut.
That was far too close. I doubt I could’ve refused it much longer.
Flitter laid on her bed, unfolding her wings to inspect them. Some of her feathers were twisted really badly; some tucked into others. Slowly grabbing a pair that were twisted together, she tried to get them into the right position. All she managed to achieve was pain, causing her to whimper.
What is wrong? I never felt pain while preening myself?
She decided to take care of the pair later and went to a badly bent one. Grabbing and straightening it gave her a shot of horrendous pain throughout her wing. Breathing heavily, she let go and cried softly into her pillow. But it must have been loud enough for her sister to hear, because straight away there was the knock on the door.
“Li’l sis, is everything alright? Are you hurt? Please let me in, my love.” She heard Cloudchaser's worried voice through the door.
Should she let her in, even if it may be led to be preened by her sister? Or should she ignore it and maybe let her worry outside the door? Sighing, Flitter stood up and unlocked the door before quickly returning to bed.
“Come in, Cloudy,” she said before burying her muzzle into the pillow again.
“What’s wrong, my love?” Cloudchaser's voice sounded nearby, causing Flitter to look up.
Cloudchaser looked down at Flitter's feathers, a worried but lovely expression on her face. Flitter was lost in her eyes and stretched her neck, planting a small peck on her sister's muzzle.
“My wings are messed up, and I can’t preen them without any pain,” she sobbed. “I think this time I messed them up completely.”
“Would you let me take care of it? Maybe I can help. I have some experience with bad wings, trust me.” Cloudchaser touched her softly, reading fear in her face.
“I don’t know Cloudy… you know what they say about preening.” Flitter blushed and looked down.
“That it is the most intimate action two pegasi can share. I know, my love. We are sisters and on top of that together, marefriends. I don't want to push you into something you're uncomfortable with, but I can’t watch you hurt yourself like this. Please let me try — I’ll be careful.”
Cloudchaser kissed her, and pushed any doubts Flitter had away. Flitter tried to relax while presenting her wings to her sister, waiting for her to start. The first touch was… unexpected. It didn’t hurt — instead it felt more like a beautiful warmth at the place Cloudchaser caressed her feathers, carefully positioning each one back into its correct position. She had always thought that it would feel sexual, but her sister was careful, sparing the most sensitive spots closest to her wing muscles. Realizing that her sister knew what she was doing and she was in good hooves, Flitter closed her eyes and drifted off to a pleasant dream, full of shared feelings with her sister.
***
Slowly awakening she felt a soft pillow under her head, rising and falling at a steady pace. It was much softer and fluffier than her pillow usually did — it nearly felt like fur. Once the fog of sleep had cleared from her mind, she opened her eyes and jumped up to see Cloudchaser at her side. She had been sleeping with her head on her sister's flank and it was really soft.
Oh my… what happened last night?
Carefully making her way on her hooves, she snuck out of the bed into the bathroom, to avoid waking her sister. She got into the shower, trying to clear her mind, and the warm water dripping on her coat indeed helped.
She preened my wings. What else happened?
She just couldn’t find the answer, but she wasn’t even sure if more happened. Drying her coat with a towel, Flitter looked at her feathers. They were in perfect condition. Her sister had done a excellent job. New Year's Eve was tomorrow and she still hadn’t any clue what her sister might have planned. Today she would follow her sister if she went outside the house.
“Li’l sis, are you in there? Can I come in?” A voice behind the door startled Flitter, but she quickly calmed down.
“It’s open, Cloudy.” She quickly turned to the mirror, brushing her hair.
Cloudchaser went in, heading straight for the shower. “I hope you don’t mind, my love.”
Flitter's eyes went wide and she quickly tried to concentrate on her mane. “N-no… of course not!”
Hearing the water she continued to brush her mane and added the bow on top. Once she was satisfied, she turned to leave. Her eyes caught her sister, her love under the shower, encased in a blur of steam and water droplets. Her wet mane cascaded over her shoulders, without the usual spikes, and she looked even more beautiful than ever before. Gulping, Flitter made her way quickly to the kitchen.
While Flitter prepared some toast and eggs, her sister joined her, planting a small peck on her neck and causing her to shiver slightly.
“Good morning, my love,” Cloudchaser whispered into her ear.
Flitter smiled and served breakfast, never taking her eyes off Cloudchaser. Her mane was still unbrushed, laying like silk on one side.
Simply beautiful.
“I’ll tell you what we’re about to do tomorrow.” Her sister looked up from her breakfast, smiling at her. “First is dinner at the restaurant in the city. Next thing is enjoying your slide, and around midnight you’ll receive your real surprise, li’l sis.”
Flitter bent forward to plant a kiss on her snout. “I can’t wait, Cloudy.”
Winking, her sister finished her breakfast before speaking again. “How about we stay at home today, listening to some music. Maybe some cuddling, kissing and enjoying?”
“You don’t have to work today?” Flitter was disappointed because she wanted to follow her sister, to try to find out the surprise.
“There are no orders one day before New Year’s Eve, so we’ll have all day for ourselves.” Cloudchaser stood up, reaching a hoof for Flitter. “So you’re in?”
Biting her lower lip, Flitter stood up, placing her hoof into Cloudchaser's. “Of course, Cloudy, sounds like fun!”
Flitter remembered this as the best day in her life. Both mares enjoyed music while cuddling up to each other. They felt free, strong and like nothing could challenge their love. All doubts about their parents and friends were forgotten. Laying next to each other, holding one another with their wings, kissing all the time. It was like they could finally live their life, and they were happy about it. Hours passed by and they still enjoyed holding each other in the warm embrace of love.
The day came to an end, both mares heading to their bedrooms. Flitter stopped, shifting nervously from one hoof to another. “Cloudy?”
Her sister stopped, just in front of her own room. “Yes, my love?”
Flitter looked towards the ground, blushing and trying to gather her mind. “W-would you like to… to sleep in the same b-bed as me today?” Her blushing got worse, her cheeks now a deep red.
Cloudchaser turned around and moved to her little sister, grabbing her into a powerful kiss full of love and care. “I would love to, li’l sister.”
They made their way into Flitter's room, joining each other on the cloud bed. Cloudchaser had never lain on her sister's bed. It smelt pure like Flitter — it was a lovely scent. Small wisps of flowers and a stronger one like a moderate breeze in the evening, she loved it. Pulling each other into a loving embrace with their wings, they fell asleep almost instantly.
“I love you, Cloudy.” A small whisper.
“I love you too, li’l sis,” came the answer followed by a small kiss.
The end of a wonderful night.
***
Both mares awoke around noon, feeling wonderfully recovered and ready for the day. Planting a small kiss on Flitter's snout Cloudchaser got up and leant to her ear to whisper.
“C’mon, li’l sis, our reservation is waiting. I said I’d take you to dinner, so get up.” A small smile stole it’s way onto her muzzle, seeing the beautiful eyes open and her sister getting up with a yawn.
“What time is it, sweetie?” she asked, making Cloudchaser giggle, and her heart jump.
“About noon, my love,” the big sister answered, smiling at the blush that covered Flitter's face now. “And don’t worry, I like you calling me that. We just have to be careful in public.”
They prepared for the day and went outside once they were ready. It was a beautiful day and it was snowing, small shiny crystals raining down onto their coats. Cloudchaser took the lead and directed her sister to a small restaurant in the city. Flitter wondered why they walked, and didn’t fly, but she stayed silent. Once they reached the entrance a waiter opened the doors for them.
“Welcome, ma’ams. Do you have a reservation?” He smiled as they walked inside.
“Yes, sir. Reservation for Cloudchaser.” Cloudchaser hoofed him a small letter which the stallion read instantly.
"Ahh, yes, table for two, near the piano at the window, excellent choice, ma’am. Please follow me. I’ll lead you to your table,” he answered with a clear Trottingham accent.
Both mares followed the waiter to the right side of the restaurant. A small table stood there lit by a candle, and set for two ponies. Flitter smiled at the location, it was so romantic. They sat down and the waiter took their orders.
“For me, water please.” Flitter was trying to avoid ordering something expensive.
“Sister, I invited you so stop being afraid of the costs.” Cloudchaser's lovely gaze met hers before turning to the waiter. “We’ll take your best wine, sir.”
The waiter bowed and moved away to get their drinks.
“Wine, dear sister? Are you sure that’s a good Id--” she stopped when she felt the flick of a tail meet hers.
“Stop it, sister. We’re celebrating today, so no excuses!” She smiled while flicking her tail once more, causing Flitter to shiver slightly.
“Please don’t do that in here.” She shot a glare at her sister even though she enjoyed it.
“You’re no fun,” came the answer, but Cloudchaser stopped.
The wine arrived and they enjoyed it while the waiter went for the food. Flitter ordered a dairy daisy sandwich while her sister wanted the crispy hay fries.
“You eat and drink so much sweetie, but your flank still looks sweet.” Flitter joked, this time flicking her tail at her sisters.
Cloudchaser blushed and opened her muzzle not knowing how to answer, but was saved by the waiter bringing the food. Both mares eating in silence, enjoying the good food. Once they were done, Cloudchaser asked for the bill and paid the waiter with a generous tip on top.
“We should go, li’l sister. We have some time, but I want you to see it in daylight too.” Cloudchaser grinned and got up, quickly moving outside.
Flitter followed her, without having time to ask what Cloudchaser wanted her to see. Both mares trotted around the city, which was quite difficult to Cloudsdale. Soon the older sister stopped, holding a blindfold in her muzzle.
“Please put this on. It's a surprise after all!” Cloudchaser snickered, taking the blindfold with her wings and waiting.
“Okay, sweetie, I trust you.” With a nod Flitter closed her eyes, waiting for her sister to place the blindfold.
Cloudchaser planted the blindfold gently over her eyes, making sure her little sister wouldn’t see a thing, and then guided Flitter towards the goal. They walked for several minutes before they stood in front of the big cloud Flitter shaped days ago.
“I hope you’ll love it” her sister said, then Flitter felt the blindfold being removed.
She slowly opened her eyes, gasping at the sight. It was the same cloud she made for her sister, but different. It was bigger with many more slides, and on top there was a small fluffy addition that looked almost like a house.
“It’s beautiful, sweetie!” Flitter managed to say before tears blurred her vision. She started to cry full of happiness, pulling her sister into a close embrace. “But you said you couldn’t cloudshape?”
Cloudchaser planted small kisses on her snout, looking at her with eyes full of love and care. “Let’s say I had a beautiful incentive to learn it.” She leaned in for a bigger kiss which Flitter happily obliged. “Wanna see what else I added?” Her little sister answered with a nod.
Cloudchaser quickly flew into the air, heading for the fluffy structure on top, with Flitter following close behind. It was indeed a small house, or better said a big room, and it contained a huge cloud bed. Flitter couldn’t believe her eyes when she followed her sister inside.
“I hope you like it. I thought it would be really romantic.” Cloudchaser blushed, looking at her sister.
It is indescribably beautiful
Instead of speaking it out loud, Flitter walked towards the bed and layed down, patting with her wing next to her. Cloudchaser gulped but moved slowly to the bed, joining Flitter on it. While both mares enjoyed being close to each other it was getting dark outside, and the walls glowed with a steady, blue light.
“Wow…” Flitter whispered, “this is beautiful…” She was silenced by a small kiss.
“Once it’s dark the whole cloud will shine with this blue light, caused by some inactive thunderclouds that I weaved into it. It’s not dangerous but the effect is awesome and I thought you’ll love it.” Cloudchaser kissed her again, enjoying the day more and more.
As the first firework exploded outside both mares broke their kiss, looking deep into each others eyes.
“This is such a beautiful surprise. I love you, sweetie! Happy New Year.” Flitter breathed, getting lost in her sister's eyes.
“I’m glad you like it, my love. Happy New Year. I love you too.”
Their lips connected again, this time for much longer. It was a kiss that promised love, care, trust, and more for a lifetime. This moment would end at some point, but both mares were sure their love would last forever and longer.
