//------------------------------// // Rainy Day // Story: Cuddling is the best remedy. // by TheFimFicCritic //------------------------------// You have always thought that sleep ends too quickly. The dawn comes and whisks you awake, taking you away from sleeps peaceful embrace. You open your eyes and groan, hiding your face away from the suns rays in Rainbow’s mane. You hold her tighter, sighing as you start to fall back asleep. You remain asleep for the next thirty minutes before once again waking up. This time, you let out a yawn and stretch. You go to get out of bed, when you suddenly realize you can’t move. Dash is holding you tight against her, who knew she could be this strong even while sleeping. Once again you try to move and you somewhat successfully get out before being pulled back to the bed by her strong fore-legs. Rainbow Dash sighs and nuzzles her face into your chest. This makes you realize that you are not going anywhere. You sigh in defeat and snuggle closer to Dash, making her smile. You slowly fall back asleep. Another thirty minutes later and you awake to a smiling Rainbow Dash. Her hoof gently caressing your cheek. You raise your right hand up to her hoof and hold it, enjoying the feeling of her gentle caress. “Good Morning” She says softly. “Morning Love” You Respond. She smiles at you and snuggles closer to you. Rainbow Dash sighs contently, pressing as much of her body as she can against you. Your arms hold her firmly against you. “I want to stay like this forever” Rainbow whispers. You smile and kiss her forehead. “I do too, but as much as I would like t-” Dash presses her hoof to your mouth. “Nope I am staying right here with you. We are spending the day in bed.” she smiles at you then looks at the clock on your wall. “Besides, Ponyville is supposed to get rain in an hour. And what better way is there, than to spend a rainy day with naps and pillow talk?” … Can’t argue with the mares logic. You sit up and stretch before reaching over to your nightstand and pulling out the weather schedule. Today is Wednesday… looking over the schedule you notice that rain is scheduled all day. The rain starts at noon today and ends at seven in the morning tomorrow… crap. You sigh sadly. Rainbow notices this and slides closer to you. “Hey, what’s wrong big guy?” She asks as she wraps you in a hug. Resting her chest on your back while her head finds its place on your left shoulder. You gently begin rubbing her neck and turn your head left to gently kiss her cheek. “It’s Nothing. I’m just a bit bummed out about the weather.” It’s true, rainy days seem to make you sad. Dash can’t go out and fly because the water will wet the feathers of her wings. You look out your window and see the weather ponies moving the clouds to set up for the rain. You sigh sadly once again. Dash nuzzles you, trying her best to make you feel better. “Why aren’t you sad Dash? Don’t you wanna fly today?” She smirks at this. “I can’t, remember? Sure I do feel a little down about that, but I feel better because I get to spend my whole day as close to you as possible.” You smile, even when you are sad Dash has a way of warming your heart. “Come on, I want to hold you.” Dash whispers before pulling you onto the bed. She wraps her fore-hooves around your neck and drapes a wing around you. Dash slides her hind-leg between yours and swishes her tail until all of the silky strands cover your legs. Rainbow sighs and says “This is the life. Just me laying next to my special somepony.” “Indeed.” Is all you can say as you take Rainbows warm and fuzzy body into your arms. The rain starts to fall. You frown and Dash kisses you, hoping that the kiss will take your mind off the rain. You return the kiss, pressing your lips to hers. You raise your right hand to her mane, gently running your fingers through it. Dash shudders and pulls you in deeper. You pull away from the kiss and smile at Rainbow. “Did that help?” Dash asks with a cute smile. “More than you know.” You say smiling back at her. You gently kiss her forehead and her smile widens. “I love you.” Dash whispers as she looks affectionately into your eyes. You pull her into hug and hold her tightly against you. Not wanting to let her go. Rainbow Dash nuzzles her head into your neck. You release the hug and slide closer to her. You look outside once more and sigh. Then your gaze falls upon Rainbows beautiful face. You smile. “Have I ever told you how beautiful you are Dash?” You ask. She smiles and nuzzles you, rubbing her soft cheek against yours. “Everyday, but I never get tired of hearing it” She says. Your heart warms at her words. You gaze into her eyes, and you never look away. Her eyes, so captivating, expressive, and beautiful. You two both lean in for a kiss, your lips meeting hers. “I love you.” she says, Dash instantly goes in for another kiss. Dash kisses you constantly, each kiss followed by an “I love you.”. Your heart is nothing but a puddle. Eventually she stops. Rainbow lets out an adorable yawn. “So you get tired during rainy weather like me.” you say, gently scratching her behind an ear. Rainbow Dash only nods and lays her head on your chest. She almost falls asleep before she remembers something. “What had you so sad today anyways?” You jump. Dash giggles “Oh come on! How do you get scared by a question?” You roll your eyes, you thought she was asleep. “I feel a little bummed because I wanted to go out and look at the stars with you tonight.” Rainbow smiles at you. “Don’t Worry, we’re together now right?” You nod. “So just enjoy what we’re doing now. Okay? No sad eyes.” You Smile and close your eyes as you both let this rainy day pass in each-others loving embrace.
