“I had an absolutely lovely time, Button.”
“I’m glad to hear it, Rarity. I had a lot of fun too! And the food was really great, wasn’t it? We should go out like this more often!”
Don’t turn around and look at him with those glistening eyes.
“You— you really mean it?”
“Of course I do. In fact, forgive me for saying this, but… Rarity, you’re one of the most beautiful mares I’ve ever met.”
Oh, you charmer…
“Oh, you charmer! Stop it! You’re going to make me blush! Well, I’d better just— oh! Oh, my! Heh, heh! Dropped my keys!”
“Do you need any help opening your door?”
No thank you.
“No thank you, I got it! And… here we go! Ahh. Home sweet home… well, never minding the mess anyway. That’s what happens when you live with a rambunctious younger sister, a cat that doesn’t always like to get along, and a head full of ideas. Oh! Feel free to come in, Button.”
“Well, apart from that, it’s a very nice place. Very homely, not like other fashion designers’ homes I’ve seen in the magazines. They always like to put their big egos into their interior designs. … So, Rarity?”
“Yes?”
“You said you live with your younger sister?”
“Yes. Sweetie Belle, her name is. But she’s… staying at a friend’s house for the night. So it’s just the two of us.”
“…Really?”
Oh, good gracious.
“I know it’s a mess, but my bedroom is always neat and tidy, and I promised you I’d have something very fascinating to show you inside.”
“Oh, boy… can’t wait.”
…How could you be so oblivious, Rarity?
“Isn’t it just darling? 57 different varieties of gemstones and minerals, all on one board! Over here is Brittania silver, and that’s diopside, obsidian, carnelian, emerald… Oh, it’s just a personal collecting hobby at most, but there’s something so enticing to all of these stones. Wouldn’t you agree?”
“Sure, I… I guess so.”
“…Is something wrong, Button? Oh! I’m boring you, aren’t I? I’m so sorry. I’m still new to relationships and I honestly thought that—”
“Oh no, no, no! It’s not that at all! It’s just… well… I was kind of hoping there was… something else you wanted to do in here.”
And… there it goes.
“Hmm? Something else? Like what?”
“Well, how about you get on the bed and I’ll show you?”
Wide eyes. Now it’s beginning to click, isn’t it?
“I— Yo— W— You’re giving to… are you going to give me a hoof massage or something?”
Stop lying to yourself.
“No, Rarity. I was thinking of something a little bit more… intense.”
“Oof! HEY!”
Yes, because pushing a lady onto her own bed is such a high mark of gentlecoltly conduct.
“Just what do you think you’re doing!?”
“Ssh, ssh. Just relax… and let me do the rest. They don’t call me Button Down for nothing…”
“No! What are you doing? Stop it! Get away from me! You… Put that… No! STOP THIS!”
That’s right, Rarity. Give that blowhard the no-blow!
“OWW! Rarity! You… you bucked me!”
“Well if I hadn’t, you would’ve fucked me! How is that any better, you… you… brute!?”
“What are you talking about? I thought you wanted to have sex with me! That was the vibe I was getting from you and your fluttery eyebrows ever since we met at the bar!”
Somepony needs to conduct better research on one’s sex signals…
“Even if I was looking for some pleasure, how dare you try to advance on a lady without her consent! I never took you as such a rude, perverted individual!”
“Well… I never took you as such a selfish, sheltered priss!”
“WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!?”
You should’ve seen how crimson my face probably was at this stage.
“Ooohh… That’s it, Button Down! I’m done with you! Leave now!”
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me! JUST LEAVE!”
“Fine then… your loss, ‘Miss Rarity’.”
What does he know? I have lost nothing of importance…
…so I keep telling myself.
“Rarity! Are you here? Sorry, but I forgot my toothbrush and… Rarity? A-are you okay?”
“Yes, Sweetie Belle. I’m fine. … Just fine.”
That night, there couldn't be enough tissues in all of Equestria.
Can't say I'm too sad about this
Fluttershy with the rebound incoming
...
Well. That happened. I mean, it was probably bound to happen eventually, but you couldn't have dragged it out just a little bit more? You've hardly given it any weight. Or maybe I just assumed this would be a long-term deal, and you had never meant it to be. Ah well, you're the one writing it, not me. I'll accede to your greater vision. This isn't a dealbreaker.
...That was quick. I wasn't expecting that. Rarity and Golden Harvest will be having a loooong discussion. I think that will be the last time Rarity ever goes to a bar. Now maybe Sweetie Belle can tell Rarity about Fluttershy having a crush.
well.. thats definitly no way to treat a lady right after (while?) the first date..
i think fluttershy will be excited to hear about this
You poor lass Rarity. You poor poor lass.

I didn't mean for it to be long-term, no. I would've developed Button Down's character out much more than that if I did.
Hell of abrupt.
...
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck

I did not predict Button Down would turn out as such.
I'm not sure how I should feel about this, yes Fluttershy finally has a chance to confess her feelings to Rarity but on the other hoof Rarity didn't deserve to have her relationship end like that.
Just kinda blindsided us there. Not a bad thing all things considered, just a bit of a surprise.
I'm surprised how many people are thinking that this thing with Button Down was short. This is usually how long flings last with people you meet in bars! Still feel really bad for Rarity...
On the other hoof, time for Fluttershy to make the rebound!
Well, that escalated quickly.
I partially expected that, but that you actually went ahead and did that, not just made it a red-herring type deal. It caught me off guard.
And I was starting to like that guy too...
Honestly I was kinda hoping this wouldn't go the route of Button Down turning out to be a jerk, didn't the show kinda already do this with Rarity and Blueblood?
1547306
For a while, I was considering having it be a misunderstanding and Rarity jumped to conclusions, then have the chapter end with him saying, "All I wanted was to give her a hoof massage..."
But eh. Then people would've felt sorry for Button Down and want a better sense of closure to him, and I didn't really want that. Though I may come back to Button Down sometime in the future in a separate story.
1547313
Well... sort of. Blueblood was a jerk in manners and proper sociability, whilst Button Down is more of a womanizer.
And now Fluttershy is back in the game.
1547561 Ehh, there are differences, certainly, but I'm just not a fan of the "Rarity has no luck with stallions" storyline. I'd don't mind her getting together with Shy, I wouldn't be reading this fic if I did, I just don't like the connotation that she settles for her because all the stallions she tries to date are jerks.
Maybe that's not where this is going, at least I'm hoping it's not.
Damn....I don't give a buck about Rarity but that is just not how a male should treat their lady...what a bastard.....LOVING FLUTTERSHY TO THE RESUSE! (Spelled that wrong)
1547561 I can understand. I don't really see how you coulda delt with it differently. Just glad it didn't go as far and as bad as I've seen this kinda thing go in other fiction, probably because having Rarity get date-raped wouldn't really help advance the story, just some unneeded drama.
this resolution actually puts Rarity into place for further romantic plot advancement
Phew.
Glad he's outta the picture.
I was kinda hoping Button to be somewhat of a decent guy so it will be an even more of a challenge for Fluttershy, but I guess having love triangles is getting cliche and Fluttershy is already having as hard of a time as it is.

Well... that was unexpected.
I FRIGGIN' KNEW IT!
I feel like I called that, either he was gay or moved to quickly. Maybe this will open Rarity's eyes to what she already has
"That night there couldn't be enough tissues in all of Equestria"
Oh god brain no, don't think about it. Damn you double entendre!!!
I can't help but feel a bit sorry for him. Rarity was giving all the wrong signals and it's not funny to be led on like that.
I really wonder if Fluttershy has the guts to be a rebound after this.
That was very...abrupt. I do have to give you credit for proper buck and fuck usage, I really hate when people use one to replace the other.
To summarize this chapter's content.
Aw damn, I was hoping button down would be gay. Are we playing basketball??? 'Cause fluttershy just got a rebound... That was horrible I know.
Oh snap that a girl Rarity Show that sleaze who is boss.
I hate love triangles furiously, especially when we don't yet know how Rarity feels about Fluttershy deep-down, and I'm so glad Rarity wasn't raped. It's unfortunate that both of her last two dating experiences ended up with the guy being a jerk, but I suppose if the guy was actually decent Rarity might actually go for the guy and never examine her feelings for anypony else. Her mind is poisoned with romance novels after all. I hope she bucked Button Down right in the nads.
So far I have been enjoying your stories. Although I don't personally like this pairing, I am enjoying how you are handling it. However, Rarity kinda asked for this to happen to her. She invited him in, then told him they were home alone and finally invited him up to her bedroom. Yet, I can let that slide since she has never dated before. I guess I was more hoping Button Down would have turned out to be acting and never really liked Rarity. Sadly, he might have really liked her and just took all her messages to mean we was going to get lucky. When he say Rarity didn't really mean what she been leading he should have left, but then the story needs something bad to happen between them. I guess what I am saying is this seems like a weak plot device. Button Down could have been handled better in my mind. Anyway, I am off to the next chapter.
~Hearn
Well, looks like another trip to Equestria........anypony know where Button lives?

I can't say that I fully blame Button Down for what happened, just that he is mostly to blame. The way Rarity worded her words and gestures did make it sound like "something" was going to happen, but that still doesn't excuse BD's "attempts" at all.
2562403 well manehatten I think.
So can I make a big hole in the map then?

Wherever it is, NOPONY is going to be living there very soon... not for a VERY long time... *pats thermonuclear warhead lovingly* soon... soon....
God, Rarity is clueless here. One would think that she would be better with the whole flirting with double entendres thing. I mean those signals were not mixed. They were loud and clear; they just were not delivering the message that she intended. She wasn't even drunk enough to make that mistake.
It reminds me of an incident that I was privy to IRL. Girl A had a real thing for Girl B. It wasn't the "pining in secret for my one twue wove" crazy weirdo kind of thing (sorry Fluttershy) but rather the normal "she is really sweet and sexy and I would love to get with her some time" kind of thing that healthy people have. One night, Girl B throws a party at her place with a bunch of her friends, and they all get good and drunk. We're all playing adult party games and talking about sex and such when Girl B says to Girl A, "You wanna come into my bedroom with me and look at the wall scroll over my bed?" Of course, everyone starts giggling, and Girl A jumps to her feet and follows Girl B into the bedroom. The rest of us send them off with a "Have fun in there," that they both hear. Girl A smiles back at us excitedly from the doorway and closes the door. Two minutes later, Girl B, still drunk, stumbles out of the bedroom talking about interior decorations, and Girl A follows her out with the most shellshocked expression I have ever seen on anyone. We all look at them in shock and yell at Girl B, "What are you doing out here?" Girl B just blinks at us and says, "What?" Rarity in this chapter is just the epitomy of Girl B
