What Aloe Knows
Rainbow Dash pushed the door open and smiled as she saw the beautiful masseuse, and object if her affection, Aloe, sitting behind a small table. "Hello, Aloe. What's all that?" Rainbow Dash motioned to the various objects on the table.
Aloe raised an eyebrow at her client. "They're the items for your manicure, Rainbow Dash. You didn't think this was just like, me painting your nails did you?"
Rainbow Dash chuckled nervously and shook her head. "Uh... No of course not!" Rainbow Dash smiled, nervously scratching the back of her head. "Nah, I know like, everything for manicures. And pedicures. And... All that stuff."
Aloe smiled and motioned across the table. Normally she wouldn't have moved everything in here, but Rainbow Dash was a good customer and really liked this specific room, for some reason. "Want me to walk you through the process, Miss Dash?"
Rainbow Dash walked over and sat down with a small harumph. "Well, to be honest, not really." Aloe nodded and reached across the table for one of Rainbow Dash's hands. Though Rainbow Dash growled gently, she allowed her hand to be taken. The growl didn't go unnoticed by Aloe.
"Is something the matter, Miss Dash?"
Rainbow Dash pulled her hand back and sighed gently. "Nope, nothing." She let her hand be taken again, but couldn't stop her annoyed hiss.
Aloe frowned and let go of Rainbow Dash's hands. "What is the matter, Miss Dash?"
Rainbow Dash sighed and rolled her eyes. "Sorry I just... Got a thing about people touching my hands. Normally I just deal with it but..." She motioned to the array of items on the table. "This really makes it feel like a bit much."
Aloe smiled gently and nodded. "Oh, so that's why you wanted a manicure? To help you deal with your hand thing? That makes more sense."
Rainbow Dash frowned, that wasn't why at all, but it was a good conclusion. But... "It makes more sense than what, Aloe?"
Aloe blushed brightly and Rainbow Dash suppresses a groan. She should have known the pretty masseuse was the quiet, shy kind. Rainbow Dash seemed to attract those... "I thought you had a crush on me." ... Or not... Rainbow Dash just stared for a few long moments and Aloe continued. "I guess you just like my massages better."
Rainbow Dash took a few more moments to decide on her next course of action... "Uh... You're taking this well..." Rainbow Dash wasn't usually so circumspect, but with Aloe's reaction, she was guessing the crush was one-sided. So there was no need to embarrass herself by admitting to the crush.
Aloe smiled faintly. "I was pretty sure I was mistaken. Don't worry, Miss Dash. This won't affect our working relationship. I was a little disappointed but you needn't wo..." She paused, some of the mostly dissipated blush returning to her cheeks as Rainbow Dash grabbed her hand, gently.
"You really weren't mistaken." Rainbow Dash grinned. "Though I thought I'd been more subtle than that!"
Aloe paused for a long moment before smiling a little wider. Her free hand slowly inching forward and stopping between the two women, palm up. Raising her eyebrow, Aloe waited. It took a bit less time than Aloe had been expecting for Rainbow Dash to raise her own free hand and placed it gently in Aloe's. "I have some bad news, Rainbow Dash."
Rainbow Dash's eyes widened as she realized she'd just confessed to a girl who had no interest in her. Then they narrowed as she remembered that Aloe had actually technically started the crush talk. Rainbow Dash started to pull her hands back as she frowned, but stopped as Aloe gave her just the slightest head shake. Though the frown remained. "What's that?"
Aloe took a deep breath, pausing for a long moment. Acting like she had something bad to say. Then she grinned mischievously. "You're going to need to start getting your massages from Lotus."
Rainbow Dash stared for a long moment before she let out a bark of laughter. "Oh, that was mean, Aloe! But, why's that?"
Aloe smiled softened slightly as she squeezed Rainbow Dash's hands, and was happy to get a squeeze back. "Well you know, laws against..." Aloe grinned wickedly at Rainbow Dash. "Happy endings."
The second time in as many minutes Rainbow Dash's eyes widened, and she even blushed lightly. "Aloe!"
Aloe giggled a little and shook her head. Gently pulling her hands out of Rainbow Dash's grasp, she was gratified to feel the slight resistance of Rainbow Dash to let her go. "I don't mean now. But in a more general sense, for the future." Aloe started to gather up the manicure items before glancing up at Rainbow Dash. "I assume you actually don't want a manicure?"
Rainbow Dash laughed, shaking her head. "Oh, I definitely do not!" She stood up and smiled, tilting her head to the side. "So, you wanna go out Friday?"
Aloe nodded but grinned. "I don't know... With you leaving again in a couple weeks, that's a long delay..."
Rainbow Dash blinked in surprise that Aloe knew her schedule. "Fine, tonight then! But how'd you know I was leaving again so soon?"
"You told Pinkie Pie." Aloe grinned at the groan. Pinkie didn't keep any secrets, except surprise parties. "Though it's too bad you'll be so in and out. We'll have to see if the long-distance thing can actually work."
Rainbow Dash grinned and raised an eyebrow. "You could come with. The team pays for my accommodations, I can front for yours. Unless you wanted to share."
Aloe grinned a little, from many that would be a subtle way to control the relationship. From Rainbow Dash, that was doubtful. She probably just hadn't thought through the implications. "How about we see how the next few weeks go first?" Aloe made a gesture towards the door. "Now shoo. I need to go get a new dress for tonight."
Rainbow Dash could only grin as she left.

Aha! Thank you! Google image search doesn't seem to like Deviantart anymore.
As always, you have a knack for cute. I like the unusual pairing.
Yay, more weird Dash lesbian pairings.
Short but sweet.
Dash your middle name is Danger, not subtlety.
Rainbow, you wouldn't know subtlety if it smacked you in the muzzle.
So, after reading this many stories, I'm getting the slight feeling most of these are going to be shipfics. I could be wrong though, might have to read a few more

Nope. Not wrong at all :D
Some of Dash's vocabulary is...off, but I won't screech about it.
this was cute.
though I can never remember which one is aloe and which one is lotus.
as stated by others, short and sweet.

Psh, my Dash is perfect, everyone says so. :D
okay..it's not her vocabulary that's off.
it's her grammar/word choice
she wouldn't say "i'd been"
she'd say "I was"
11005431
Lies and slander.
11005436
truth and....expose
11005436
plus slander is the wrong word
when it's written, it's called Libel
11005440
Yeah but the expression is "lies and slander." :P
11005441
expressions can be altered to fit the context.
you could just as easily say "Lies and Libel."
and honestly....that sounds cooler, I think
Awkward Rainbow Dash confessions are always a fun little treat.
Super fun read, really enjoying the awkward Dashie confessions.
Plus this made me laugh.
Dash can be shipped with everyone
