"So, what are we doing today?" Soarin asked cheerfully. Dash smiled. It had only been about a week or so since they had gotten together, but Soarin always made it feel as if they'd been dating for years. Their relationship didn't change either, they still acted like the best friends they were. If anything, they were even closer now.
"Well, I was planning on napping," Dash replied. Soarin chuckled softly before walking over to her.
"What a coincidence, so was I," he said proudly. He grabbed Dash by her shoulders and gently but violently threw her on the bed next to her. It took her by surprise, but quickly she turned over and spread out amongst the bed.
"Oh, were you expecting me to save room?" she asked in a teasing tone. He chuckled and came closer to her, leaning slightly on top of her.
"Knowing you? Nah," he added slyly. "But forcing you to won't be too hard either...." He smirked just widely enough to let Rainbow know he wouldn't be considerate.
"Oh noes!" she slightly yelled. He lifted his hands and held her down with one while the other moved towarda her waist and started tickling. Dash was in tears in mere seconds. "Nuuu!Stahp!!!" she struggled to say between laughs.
"Sorry Sweetie, I won't," he grinned ,"but I could..."
"Yes, please.....stop.." Rainbow managed to breathe out. He stopped slowly and reached to pat her head.
"You're so cute when you're begging," Soarin commented ,"I think I'll do it again just for that."
"EEP," Dash squeaked, her eyes widening. Soarin smiled and pulled her in for a hug.
"Aww, Dashie, I'm so sowy," he teased. She smiled, rolling her eyes in the process.
"I hate you," she responded softly. Soarin planted a soft kiss on her cheek and nuzzled her.
"I do too, baby," he whispered holding her close. She slowly nuzzled back.
"Rainbow Dash is dating who?!"
A small, turquoise haired girl whimpered softly. "S-soarin Sir..."
"So that's what the sly bastard wanted all along, huh?"
"Actually, Sir, they've only begun dating last week," the timid girl spoke softly.
"Oh really?"
She nodded.
"Such a shame it won't last long..."
After their playful fighting, the two athletes went downstairs only to be greated happily by Rainbow's mom. She walked over to them with a huge smile one her face.
"Happy Valentine's Day, sweeties!" she said forever smiling. Dash looked down, smiling and blushing in both embarrassment and slight shyness.
Soarin sensed her being a bit tense and put an arm over her. "Yes, ma'am, hope you have a good one too," he replied politely.
"Why, thank you Soarin," she beamed. She walked off to continue cleaning the counter and the couple made their way out the door.
"Sorry about my mom..." Dash apologized softly. Soarin chuckled and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry about it, Dashie," he reassured,"my mom would've reacted the same way!"
She gave him a small smile. "So...Ice Cream?" she suggested happily. He nodded and hugged her from behind.
"Anything you want, Dashie," he whispered in her ear. She giggled and pecked his cheek, blushing at the nickname. Dispite the fact that she had heard him say if often, she still found it sweet.
"Let's go, Romeo," Rainbow replied sighing happily. She grabbed his hand, which was conveniently wrapped around her waist, and somewhat dragged him along with her while his head rested a top her shoulder.
They got a few eyes from people who knew them. All were wondering if the two had finally become a couple. Some were delighted, while others were devastated, but neither of them cared at the moment. All yhe wanted to do was spend time with each other alone.
"Don't they have anything more interesting to look at?" Dash asked annoyed. Soarin let go of her back and instead walked beside her and held her hand.
"Apparently not. Besides, we were always the talk of the town in our relationship status. It only makes sense that they stare," Soarin explained calmly.
"Still, don't you feel even slightly uncomfortable with all of this attention?" she asked shielding her face a bit.
Soarin chuckled. "That's unusual coming from you," he commented.
"Haha, very funny. Most of the time, the attention I get comes from my awesomeness," she paused to look at Soarin. "Not my relationship status."
"Well, If you must know, I don't mind it," Soarin replied. "I find it pretty cool that people care so much about our lives."
"I thought you were the one that wanted to keep our relationship a secret," Dash teased.
"Yet, you're the one complaining," Soarin declared. Dash rolled her eyes in defeat and smiled at her boyfriend.
"I still hate you," Rainbow stated proudly. Soarin smiled and nuzzled her neck.
"Thanks, sweetie," Soarin replied. "So, about that ice cream?"
"Right around the corner," she said smiling.
Soarin grabbed his girlfriend's hand, grinning happily. "Then let's get to it!"
The couple continued walking, smiling at at other happily, no longer caring for what people thought. After all, they were happy and that's all that mattered. Upon reaching the small ice cream parlor, Soarin opened the door for his lover. She rolled her eyes at his attempt to be courteous but blushed a bit at the same time. There was no denying that she found these small gestures a little cute. Soarin could tell she was happy and loved the feeling he got out of it.
Both stopped at the counter, thankfully the place was near empty. She nodded at Soarin, indicating that she knew what she wanted and was ready to order if he was. He took the hint and began talking.
"Could I get the mint chocolate-chip flavor, two scoops in a waffle cone?" he asked the lady behind the counter. She nodded and turned to Rainbow.
"And, I'll have one scoop of cappuccino in a waffle cup," Dash soon replied. The lady nodded once more and began working on their orders.
Meanwhile, Soarin and Rainbow Dash went to sit down in a small booth on a corner of the store. Dash began to get her wallet out and the money required to pay for the treats.
Soarin noticed this and furrowed his brows slightly. "Woah, woah, woah missy! I'm paying for this, don't sweat it."
"Soarin please, I was the one who suggested we get ice cream. I'll pay for this," she replied brightly.
"You don't have to, I got this. I'm the one who's supposed to pay for our meals," he said. Rainbow almost face palmed.
"Soar, you're not gonna be one of those guys who wants to pay for everything we do are you?" she asked him getting a little annoyed.
"Uh, no?" he replied sheepishly. Dash gave him an annoyed look. "Fine, you can pay for this one. But no amount of arguing can stop me from paying next time, Dashie."
"Whatever you say, puddin'," Dash smirked. A small bell was heard, signaling their order was ready. Dash stood up with her money in hand and walked to over to the counter. She took the small tray containing the frozen treats and handed the lady the money that was charged. She then headed back to her booth.
"Here you go, soaring eagle," she joked proudly. Soarin chuckled softly.
"Thanks, Skittles," he replied as she sat down. "Don't think you can get away easily, I still have like six names to refer to you as. Rainbow grinned, thankful that her boyfriend was the way he was. It made Dash not only feel safe around him, but also comfortable.
The two began eating their ice cream happily, often exchanging smiles and blushes. The few amount of people at the shop couldn't help but giggle at how cute they looked together and Soarin was sure he had hear a few 'Awww's throughout the store.
"Are we really that cute as a couple?" Dash asked a bit of pride in her tone.
"Of course, there's people that even write fan fictions about us being together," Soarin answered. Dash's eyes widened.
"Seriously?" she asked.
"Yup, I've read a few of them myself," he admitted. Rainbow's eyes narrowed on him. "Heheh, sorry. They gave me hope y'know!"
Dash sighed. "I've got to keep a better eye on you..."
Soarin chuckled. Soon enough, Rainbow joined him and took his hand on top of the table.
Soarin would be lying if he had said he hadn't gotten redder than a tomato. She blushed harshly too and stared at him dreamly. He blushed even more and soon began to stare into those eyes of hers he loved so much.
"You mean a lot to me..." Rainbow whispered,"you know that, right?"
He nodded slowly, a smile creeping on his face. "And you are such an important person in my life...I would never want to lose you.."
Dash blushed. "And you never will..."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
