My Choice

First published 22nd of January, 2013

When you take a look back to a past that was forbidden by society, do you feel any regrets,? Do you wish you could give it all back? Or do you look back with a smile on your lips as you retell your story? For Shining Armor, his memories are clear.

Was it okay to steer his life the way he did, to disobey the limitations placed on him by society itself? Shining Armor knows where he is now, just as clearly as he remembers how he got there, but was he a bad stallion for doing what he did? His questions only have one answer, look back. He must look back at the past, the choices he's made, only then will he truly be assured how brightly his life sparkles in the darkness, and he's not alone.

Memories

~~~My Choice~~~

~~Memories~~

Well, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to start this story. I guess I can begin with telling you who I am, but you'll probably know me already, assuming that you're the one that found this journal. I go by the name of Shining Armor, more commonly referred to as the renowned captain of the Celestial Sister's Royal Guard, and I'm sitting here by my bedside today to write down about a moment in my past I wish to revisit. I don't know what is driving me to write this, perhaps a mid-life crisis, or maybe it's just the stress of the pending Griffin War getting to my head. For whatever reason, I'm here to document the tale of how I met my wife, and it isn't for those who are of a boxed-off mentality. I'll be able to write down most of what went on during my past, but I don't have much more time to write out the smaller details. If I take too long my lovely wife will use that lavender horn of hers to fry my flank off.
________________________________________________________________________

It all began fourteen years ago, when we both still lived inside the prestigious walls of the capitol of Equestria. Canterlot was, and still is to this day, the pinnacle of the unicorn society. It was a city built by riches and royalty, so it was only fitting that the expectations placed onto everyone were severely high, which were almost never reached before those of young age became corrupted by the bad influences in the city one way or another.

As for myself, I was little more than your average scholar. I attended Princess Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns with a degree plan that fit my dreams. My natural skill towards shielding spells caught the eye of the Magic Ministry, who then offered to pay any and all expenses for my education. I hailed from one of the lower class families in Canterlot, one that lived day to day life fine, but didn't have the bits to spend on a prestigious private school, so the scholarships given to me were the best blessings I was lucky to ever have gotten.

Well, second best blessings.

Shortly after I got accepted into Princess Celestia's school, a bundle of joy joined my family in the form of a little lavender filly named Twilight. Now that really spiced things up around the house. She learned to speak incredibly quick, taking no more than a single year to speak as clearly as I could, and as soon as she learned how to read and write, hordes of books started to flood the house. I may have had skill, but she had pure innate talent that was clearly seen by anyone who asked her to do some magic.

At the age of three, she enrolled for the same school I was in, saying she would try her best to be able to be just like me. Just hearing her say that warmed my heart. Knowing that I was such an important idol to her gave me a sense of pride and mutual adoration for her, bur I would have cheered her on even if she hadn't said a thing to me. It pained me when I was informed I wouldn't be able to attend her entrance exam due to a major test I had to complete, but the news I got afterwards made me rethink my desire to have attended.

In the middle of my algebra test, a giant purple dragon's head popped into view outside of the windows to the room, scaring the living hell out everybody. After a while, the dragon disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared, leaving everypony to wonder what had just happened. When I got back home for the day to ask Twilight if she had seen what had happened at school, I got the wind knocked out of my lungs when she leapt at me in the excited manner only little fillies could do. After that, she basically shoved her flank into my face to show me the two new symbols adorning them, bringing a blush I couldn't explain due to my young age to my white cheeks. After all, I was only six years old.

The time following the day she was accepted into the school went fine for the most part. Twilight's immense knowledge reserves let her shove aside any and all competition standing in her way as she climbed to the top of the scoreboards, skipping a grade along the way. Even though her intelligence was the bane of failure, it was also the border separating her from seeing me as much as she wanted to. She was had a much higher I.Q. then I, so they placed her in the exemplary classes while I stayed behind in the normally advanced ones.

We grew apart over the years, especially after we moved out of our parent's home and into the college itself. Not many ponies knew that Twilight was my sister, and they certainly wouldn't assume the biggest bookworm in school would be a relative to the captain of the hoofball team. At times I would catch the sight of her being chased by a couple of snobby fillies that were trying to taunt her, and I would have put an end to that kind of abuse if it weren't for the bell schedule always cutting me off. Of course, the damn bells didn't stop me from reporting them to the school's principle, but I kept it a secret to avoid being labeled as a snitch.

More years passed and I began to grow out of my foalhood, becoming a young stallion with raging hormones. I started dating my sister's foalsitter, a nice pink alicorn by the name of Cadance, for a couple of years. She really enjoyed talking about all types of love, ranging from infatuation to obsession, and I learned that she had a really open mind when it came down to relationships.

I never realized that there was such a thing as a mind that was too open until I had dated her.

One day, when I was heading over to her dorm room as I usually did to have some lunch with her, I find some other guy with his arms wrapped around her waist and his tongue in her mouth. Yeah, I was pretty freaking shocked at that, but I should have seen it coming from an alicorn who literally supports any kind of love. Still, that little train of thought didn't deter me from my ire when she asked me if it was okay to share her with this other stallion.

No...just no.

I tossed my bag of lunch onto the floor and crushed it under my heavy hoof to try and burn off my anger, but all I managed to do was splatter food onto the door, which I basically ripped off of its hinges when I stormed out of there. I was heartbroken, jealous, and enraged at her just as much as I was with myself. I was so stupid for not seeing the signs, the way her eyes would always linger for too long on others, the gazes she cast, and the subtle flirts I never caught on to.

My horn was responding in kind to my mood, pulsing with magic summoned by raw, unstable emotions. I was about to go into one of the breakdowns our family was prone to, but something stopped me, more specifically somepony.

Twilight rounded the corner of the hall I was stomping down at the same time I did, causing us both to knock our foreheads against one another's. I was about to vent out everything I had onto the one responsible for the accident, but that option pretty much died away when I noticed my little sister was rubbing her forehead in pain on the floor.

Her face lit up when she noticed who I was, but it was much different than I remembered. The years apart had taken their toll on her just as much as they had on me, probably more due to how much quicker fillies reached maturity than colts. Her stubby legs and pudgy body had thinned away, leaving her with slim legs and a perfectly round canvas for her starry cutie mark. I shook my head to clear away those idle, strange thoughts to actually speak with my sister.

She pestered my about the tears coating my cheeks, knowing that I wasn't one to easily cry, and she didn't give up after the tenth time I tried to avoid the hurtful conversation. Twilight's resolve never faltered as she wore away to my strength of will, ultimately ripping open the wound left inside of me to let the infection out. I cried, I shouted, I even laughed at one point for some reason, but these were all side-effects to what my sister had just done for me. She had sacrificed her only free time to help me out with a problem that didn't even involve her, and she weeded out the roots of depression that had been recently planted in my heart. She truly was incredible.

A hug was the final swipe needed to destroy any lingering anger towards the events that had unfolded that day, with her petite hooves caressing my blue mane in an act of affection closer than anyone else couldn't even dream of hoping to mimic. As she pulled back, her elongated horn scraped a little against mine, sending a pulse of something I had never felt before throughout my burly body before it concentrated between my legs.

Twilight flashed me a smile before walking away to sector of the college, leaving me with one problem solved and more questions in my mind that I intended to ignore, and I did so with quite some difficulty. I headed back to my own room after that with one less marefriend and a newly restored bond with the best sister in the world. To me, the good outweighed the bad. After all, you can replace a broken love life, but you can never mend a broken relationship with your siblings, especially if you only have one.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Even more time passed by, and I rocketed through the JROTC program as soon as I enrolled, quickly earning an even higher status of popularity among my colleagues. The incident with Cadance had long since blown over, and I hadn't even seen her much after that fateful day. Then again, I didn't really see anyone I used to when I rose to the top of the social pyramid. I was so high up in the clouds that I lost sight of the foundations that built me up there, the very being that drove me to be the best that I could be, my little sister.

Princess Celestia started to enact her personal lessons much more around that time in our lives, so Twilight's appearances around me were becoming increasingly rare, and only then did I realize what I was doing. The popularity had reached my head and began to drown me as it simultaneously blinded me from seeing my mistake. I started to avoid attending as many parties and personal outings to try and improve my slowly degrading grades, succeeding after a couple of weeks. I promised myself that I wouldn't allow myself to commit that mistake ever again, to never choose my friends over my family.

Of course, I was still extremely popular, and the fillies roaming the halls of the school grounds basically exuded hormones into the surrounding area. One of the young mares caught my attention, a light-magenta colored unicorn named Glimmer, and I made my move before any of the other stallions got the chance.

Hey, I was a smart stallion, but I was still a stallion.

She seemed nice, never really messing with any of the mares around her, and she didn't look like a status leech. I was as smooth as my father when he courted mom, quickly romancing the unicorn of my interests. Our schedules kind of separated us for the most part, but we still had our little rendezvous to exchange a kiss or two. Glimmer gained her fame automatically by being at my side, casting jealousy across all of the other mares in her group of friends, and she seemed to really be enjoying herself.

It was smooth sailing for quite some time after that. I had a standing marefriend that had no intention of leaving me, my grades were exactly where I wanted them, and I had more than enough friends to hang out with. My mind still nagged at me though, not liking the absence of a gifted lavender unicorn among the crowds. I grew a frown every time I thought about my little Twiley, the negligence of attention towards her. School life had only grown more tedious over the years, absorbing literally any and all time I had in the past to occasionally visit her, so I was a slave to my studies just as much as my sister was a slave to her training sessions.

One day would turn the tables forever, and that was the Celestial Prom Night.

The posters for the event hung off of every wall I walked through, advising all of the students to find somepony to take as their partner. My marefriend already filled that slot for me, but everypony else was swarming in their antics to ask out that special somepony to ask out. Many of them went with the classic 'Will you be my date' while others went to lengths that involved a locker full of balloons and confetti

A couple of weeks later, the college bustled with activity as everyone amassed at the large gymnasium, which had been decorated with the cheesy theme of romance. Roses lay scattered around the area, bouquets decorated all the tables, and daisy chains hung from wall to wall. It was noisy as hell in there, Vinyl really wasn't holding back any of her punches as she blasted the speakers to volumes that would deafen anyone who dared stand too close to the sound systems. Glimmer had worn a rosy dress that ended in a skimpy skirt, attracting the eyes of many of the other stallions in the room. I wasn't there to notice that though since I was distracted with a couple of my military class colleagues introducing me to their dates, so I didn't get to see what was about to break out before I could stop it.

Glimmer was about to push the direction my life would take to a completely different area.

Out of the corner of my blue eyes I caught sight of my marefriend heading towards another mare in the distance. From what I could tell, the lavender pony had just been abandoned by her date as he trotted away with another mare that caught his interests. That little unicorn wore a red dress that highlighted her starry cutie marks just as perfectly as the highlighted strand in her mane. Twilight looked beautiful that night, but the perfection was cracked by the sad expression on her face, and it was about to be shattered by a mare corrupted by the fame I had given her.

"Hey geek! What happened, did your little coltfwiend weave you?" Glimmer used a twisted variation of baby talk to mock my sister, but I couldn't make it to them in time to stop her.

"P-please Glimmer, just leave me al-lone." Twilight's futile attempt to deter her antagonist only served to fuel the fire that she started to spread.

"Oh! You want to be alone then? Well you're pretty much done, nobody here likes you, and you're date just walked away with a real mare instead of hanging around with a baby like you."

I could have sworn my vision was tinted red with ire as I stomped closer to the mare I trusted, the one I had decided to let into my life, only for her to betray me...just like Cadance had. Everypony that hadn't seen me making my way towards my tormented little sister kept laughing at the taunts being slung at her. As for everyone else that had seen me, they parted a path that gave me a clear path straight to the core of my anger.

"Glimmer! You get away from her!" the laughter died away when I made my appearance, and the face of my little sister lit up as soon as her sparkling amethyst eyes fell on me. The mare that had betrayed my trust looked at me in surprise, letting the side of her I hadn't seen before slip out fully when she next spoke.

"Shining? You're going to stoop to the level this little nerd is at?" I had every inch of my mind save for logic screaming at me to punch her face in, and even that was barely stopping me. Instead I ran to Twiley's side, pressing my side against her to shield her from those around her, just as I should have been doing all along.

"This little 'Nerd' is my little sister," at that, many of the crowd that had gathered gasped in unison, not expecting the turn of events unfolding because of my intervention, "and it'd be best of you just shut your mouth right now before I do it for you."

Glimmer kept her mouth open, but nothing came out of it. That was good enough for me. The silence reigning the gymnasium was most likely due to the amount of venom I poured into my threat, which surprised me just as much as it did those around me. The freeze-frame-like moment was broken when I felt a faint nuzzle on my side, Twilight was resting her head against my neck with her eyes closed, bringing a heat to my heart that had ceased to be there for a long time.

Many believed that my cutie mark represented my natural ability towards defensive spells, and they were right to a certain degree. To me though, it stood for my ultimate position in life, the one at my little sister's side to shield her from the dangers roaming the world.

"If any of you have anything to say to her, you can say it to my face." I turned my head to look at every onlooker in the eyes, causing them to shrink away in shame. I left with my favorite sibling after that without another word, just another gaze towards the flabbergasted Glimmer that let her know that we were done, and that it would be best if she never got so much as near me or my sis' again.

The music coming from the gym started back up a couple of seconds after our departure, and it grew fainter by the second as Twilight and I walked through the empty hallways we never seemed to meet. Somehow we ended up on the second floor of the observatory building, climbing the stairs to the balcony at it's peak.

It was always beautiful to look out over the city from that spot, and that night was no exception. The lights coming from the houses surrounding the college contrasted greatly against the darkness filling the streets, and the mare silhouetting the full moon looked splendid surrounded by the starry night. I knew Twilight loved to stargaze, so I had decided to take her somewhere that I could get her comfortable.

The cool air of the night did almost nothing against our combined body heats as we looked up at the sky, not saying a single thing to one another as we took in the sights bestowed to us. A shooting star flew past a distant nebula, but Twilight hadn't seen it since she was too busy tracing the points in the sky together to form constellations she had come up with. I closed my eyes and made my wish, a sign of luck and respect towards the defeated Princess Of The Night. I wished that I would never leave me little sister alone again, to never leave her exposed to the cruel world around her without me being there to keep her safe.

Somehow, I think that the universe decided to grant it for me that night.

Twilight shifted next to me, leaning into the crook of my neck to brush herself against me in another act of affection. The extra warmth was welcome to combat the weak chill in the air, but it did even more to help me get over the fact that I had just failed in making the right choice in a partner to take on in a relationship. The first attempt ended with her being too romantic, and the second ended because of her bad attitude. It seemed like I could never pick right, always fishing out something that was bound to bite me in the flank sooner or later.

"Shiny?" Twilight spoke really softly, not breaking the ethereal moment we were sharing on the balcony.

"Yes sis?" I was ready to help her with whatever it was she needed, but I did have one question I wanted to ask her.

"Thank you, for everything. I shouldn't have just picked up any colt to fit in with you guys, but that's beside the point. You're always there when I need you, and I've never really told you how much I love you for that before." she never stopped her faint nuzzle as she spoke, letting her warm breath caress my neck right before she wrapped her hooves around it. We were close now, closer than usual, but I took the time to respond to her.

"Anything for you Twiley, you're the best little sister I could hope to have and I'll never let anything happen to you. Do you know why?" a moment like that was something I never got to share with her, the one time I can let her know that behind every absence I was responsible for was an admiration towards her just as great as the one she felt towards myself.

"Why big brother?"

"Because I love just as much, if not more, as you love me. I know I'm only there when you really need me, but I wish I could be closer to you than that, to always be there whether the situation is dire or not. I love you too much to let anything happen to you, sis'."

I've lived to know the effect that night took on my life, to know that the path I've followed ever since began on that balcony, between Twilight and myself.

Before I even knew what was going on, the heat of Twilight's breath against by neck shifted from its resting spot, funneling directly into my mouth as she pressed her lips against mine. My eyes widened at the shift everything had taken, yet I couldn't will myself to back away, so I melted into the new embrace. For that single moment, Twi wasn't my little fifteen year old sister, and I wasn't her eighteen year old brother. We were the perfect match, intelligence and strength locked together by indestructible bonds built over the years.

I was caught off guard by how skilled she was as she massaged her lips against mine, poking almost imperceptibly with her tongue into my mouth to caress my own limp muscle. I couldn't, nor did I wish to, stop my body from reacting in kind to her warm intrusion, making my tongue slide against hers to our mutual pleasure. She attacked mercilessly, lapping around my orifice until she covered every centimeter of it in her sweet-tasting saliva, and she picked up the pace when we both started to fight one another for oral domination. We breathed in through our noses to avoid separation so soon, and both of our minds were quickly washed away along with large portions of society-placed limitations on our thought capacity by the tidal-wave of satisfaction coursing through our bodies.

With a wet smack, Twilight pulled away from her stimulating assault, leaving me wide eyed as I savored the lingering flavor of punch that had been carried along with her saliva. I didn't say anything because I literally couldn't, I was confused as to what had just happened, and why I liked it so much.

Twi on the other hoof simply chose to say nothing more than one thing as she stared into my eyes.

"Sweet dreams, Shiny. Thank you for the wonderful prom night."

I could see it in her eyes, this wasn't a product that had come to be because of her little break-up, and neither was it a result from her feeling sorry for what I did to stand up for her. She come out of the blue with this because she fully intended to give it her best at the best possible moment, and I'd be a filthy liar if I said I wasn't impressed by her. Our relationship changed that day, but I didn't know how at the moment. Barriers had been dropped because of the lascivious actions she gifted me with, but our parents had imprinted their rules of morality deeply into our minds. My little sister had already surpassed them, obviously, and now that left me with a lot of thinking to do.

She flashed me one of her pristine smiles as she walked back inside the observatory, and I had half a mind to chase after her to talk all of it out with her, but a purple flash let me know that she had already teleported herself to her dorm room.

I couldn't just head back to the prom after all of that, so I made made my way back towards my own room, thinking deeply all of the way. I wanted to just love her the way she loved me, I really did, but the lessons placed on my subconscious mind prohibited me from fully accepting my change of heart. But lessons were just lessons, they could be forgotten if you defied them long enough.

My eyes still held their forlornness when I stepped past my dorm's kitchen, but now I wasn't thinking about my limitations, I was concentrating on my view of my little sister now. I couldn't just see her as the quiet bookworm I knew, I couldn't stop my mind from changing the labels placed on her from 'Cute' to 'Hot'.

I walked into my bedroom's shower, turning the tap to give myself a nice stream of hot water raining down from the shower head. I stepped into the stall slowly, adjusting to the new heat before I sat down on the floor while the water continued to fall on me. The new temperature eased my body, but my mind was still a hub of activity as it tried to sort out the newly arising and conflicting emotions.

I leaned back against the wall to the stall, lifting my head to let the steamy water trail down my body as I brought up the memory of what had taken place a couple of moments ago. Imagery of my little Twiley resting on her back took the place the memory was supposed to be in, but it didn't just stand there like a picture. No, the young mare in my mind smiled at me from across the room with half-lidded eyes taking in everything about my appearance.

"Now now, Shiny, you don't have to be shy around me. I'll make you a little deal, brother, if you can trust me with everything you've got to show me, then I can do the same for you." at that, the petite unicorn spread her hind legs apart, giving me a clear view of her waiting marehood.

I shook my head in the shower stall as I tried to get that fantasy out of my mind, but it was already too late. The enticing little vision refused to leave my head, and it even started to affect me in a way I never thought I'd react to my sister doing anything.

I slowly tilted my head downwards towards the weird feeling between my legs, finding my unsheathed member standing proudly against my belly. .Whenever that happened in the past, I would ignore it, usually cooling it down with the aid of a freezing shower. My father had given me a stallion to stallion talk about the subject of masturbation, saying that it was of no good to an aspiring colt like myself and that it couldn't possibly be worth the problems it could bring about, but that night was about to be different for yet another reason.

Instead of moving my hoof towards the temperature handle, I placed it against the side of my warm shaft of flesh, shivering at the sensation it gave off immediately. With a shyness I couldn't explain, I moved my hoof from the bottom of my erection to the tip, feeling more of the electric-like pulses running through my veins. I did it again, and again, and again, getting a slow rhythm going along the way. My father's lecture began to fade away from my mind as I broke my way through more of the remaining barriers in my head.

I let my free hoof to trail down to my swelled member to join my working hoof, pressing each one on opposite sides of my joystick as I tugged and pushed at a steady pace, and it felt twice as good. I thought that it couldn't get better than that, yet the heaven I was in was about to receive a major upgrade.

Twilight popped back into the forefront of my mind, but now I could see myself inside my fantasy as if it were some kind of lucid dream. I was now on the bed with her, still reclining a little to the back as both of my hooves continued their jobs. My warm shaft twitched when the lavender mare in front of me gave me one of her seductive gazes.

"My my, what's that you've got there? Oh! Let me guess, it's what puts the 'Big' in 'Big brother' isn't it?" she chuckled at her lewd joke before spreading her legs in front of me again, "Well, a promise is a promise."

Twilight trailed one of her own hooves down her soft belly until she reached the very center of my attention, and I almost lost it when she started grinding it against herself. The details of the fantasy were as clear as reality, and the moans she started to give off pushed me closer to something I had yet to feel before. We both picked up the pace at the same time, which meant that her hoof was basically vibrating against her glistening slit, encouraging me to pump my hooves even faster against my member.

"Ohhhh, Shiny, you sure know how to put on a show. Are you close yet, big boy?"

I would have jumped at the sudden proximity she had to me, but I was a little preoccupied at the moment, and I sure as hell wasn't stopping until I finished. What she said though, it just made what I was doing seem so much naughtier, pushing me to the point to where I was just tittering on the edge of something I had yet to understand.

The memory of her lips playing against mind finally found its way to my mind, blending together with the ongoing fantasy I had going on. The effect was immediate, making the beautiful mare in front of me press her soft muzzle against mine as her fore hooves took over my frantic pumping. That was it, just thinking about seeing her do that was too much for me to handle.

My noisy moan made its way though my gritted teeth as I reached the climax of the new sensations, finally earning the release I needed. Spurts of a sticky white fluid coated the shower stall's floor, my hooves, and some of my belly.There was way more than I thought was possible, but I didn't really care, I was too busy concentrating the feeling of pure satisfaction running throughout my body. I enjoyed the post orgasmic bliss as the evidence of my little experimentation was washed away by the steady stream of water raining down on me.

I didn't understand what to do from there, the blockades placed on my subconscious had just been destroyed and the influx of repressed thoughts, emotions, and fantasies ravaged my mind. I wasn't sure if it was all just a result of lust, or if my recent failures at courtship had made me desperate, but I did know that I needed to finish my shower before all of the hot water was wasted.

I finished bathing myself rather quickly, as soon as the bliss from my hoofwork wore off I was left feeling really drowsy. A simple heat spell let me dry myself without a towel as I walked towards my much needed blue bed. I fell asleep the second my head touched the pillow, and the normally empty space of my dreamscape was filled with many more fantasies, but these weren't of lust and seduction. They were of days spent together with Twilight, days where we could support one another with everything we did, where we could walk together down the sun bathed halls of the college with nobody else taking up our time together, and they would all end with us taking off the rings we had given each other off of our horns so we could lay down next to each other to rest for the night. It was inevitable to deny the truth the following morning, the dreams cleared my mind for me, but that didn't make the answer much easier to process.

I loved my sister a lot more than just platonically.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

I couldn't concentrate correctly for the rest of the day, and many of those around me noticed. My outburst at the gymnasium hadn't really affected my reputation as far as I could see, but that barely mattered to me as I tried to get my little Twiley out of my mind, failing horribly at every attempt. The week passed by like that, and my grades suffered slightly due to my constant distraction. One productive thing did happen though, but I didn't exactly like who it involved.

I had no choice other than to oblige to my only option, I needed to see an expert in the subject I was dealing with. I knocked on the door I had slammed open so long ago, but two stallions answered as opposed to the mare I was looking for. As soon as they registered I was there to visit, they called out for the owner of the room to come to the entrance.

"Hey Shining, long time no see." Cadance grinned at my appearance, but the mares at her sides simply continued nibble on her ears.

"Yeah, perhaps not enough." I couldn't help myself, I didn't like what she had done to me years ago, and the little herd she had going only served to remind me how bad I was at choosing mares with my head. Of course, the mare that now plagued my mind wasn't chosen by my head, but my heart.

"Still holding hard feelings, huh? Well, I don't suppose you're here to sign up for my group, so what is it you need?"

"I need to speak privately to you, away from all of your playmates." she nodded in acceptance to my demand, shooing away the nibblers before closing the door as she walked into the hallway. It was the lunch break, so nopony was likely to intrude on what I had to tell the pink alicorn.

"So what's up, got a couple of problems you need solved or something like that?"

"I wouldn't exactly call it a problem, Cadance. I'm having a hard time sorting out a love interest I have, but I've never dealt with this kind of love before, so I figured you would know considering you are the alicorn of love."

"You flatter me, really. Of course I can help you out, but first I'm going to need to know what type this love is and who its directed at." the pink pony was really interested now, absolutely loving the idea to help spread her element around the world.

"Uhm...god I can't say it."

"Come on, you don't have to be shy with me. Say it."

"I think I love my..."

"What was that?"

"I think I love my sist-..."

"You're going to have to speak up, hon."

"I love my sister dammit!" I was afraid that I had caught someone else's attention with my shout, but nopony could be seen nearby.

"I knew that already, surprise. I could basically see the incestuous aurora surrounding you through my walls before you called me out here." she giggled at her little games, but I didn't like how she played me at all, again.

"What was the point of making me say it then, Cadance?"

"Because I managed to make you say that you loved her, instead of saying that you thought you loved her. Now you looked past your inhibitions and saw that you truly have feelings for her other than lust and platonic emotions."

Damn, she was good. She wasn't lying about the subtle change she managed to force out of me, and it left me questioning if she was actually just another one of your rare harem girls, or if she was some kind of calculating alicorn that always knew the game eight moves ahead.

"Now the only thing left for you to do is act upon your desires, and don't you dare tell me that Twilight hasn't made a move on you already, because I know about everything everypony does when it involves love."

"But is it okay? I mean she is my sister, my little sister, who is only fifteen years old."

"So? Back in the medieval times little fillies would get married at the age of ten to their own family members as a custom, but it's not just the thought of being with her that has entered your head, am I right?" her grin somehow grew predatory, and I was more than a little creeped out by her ability to know about everything involving romance, "So, just how deeply has your mind wandered towards your new emotions, hmm?"

"Uhm, about a week ago I started to think of my sister... sexually." there was no point in hiding it from her, and she probably already knew anyway, so I just went out and said it.

"Ah, you've reached that stage much faster than most, not to mention you actually took the experimentation in stride instead of juggling it around in your head for months. You've most likely been repressing everything you now feel, and when Twilight made the first move she managed to break you out of your shell."

"I guess so, but what do I do now?" my cheeks were already burning hotly at that moment, having been ignited by her stating that she knew about what I had done in the shower.

"Now it's time for yet another small experiment. Have you seen you're sister since you two made out?" she was being a little too blunt for my taste, but I knew it was all just part of the program, so I just shook my head to answer her, "Okay then, It's time to judge how deep your reaction would be if you were to see her again."

Before I could understand what that meant, Cadance's horn pulsed a wave of rosy magic over herself. She grew shorter, her wings disappeared into thin air, and her colors changed along with her mane style.

"So whaddya think, big brother, do I look good or what?" that voice, the usual joy that entered my system was accompanied by an injection of nervousness now. An exact copy of Twilight was sitting in front of me, smiling widely when she noticed the effect she was casting on me. I couldn't stop the memories of my fantasies from entering my head, and it was made much worse when she dropped her eyelids a little, leaving only half of her beautiful amethyst eyes exposed, "What's wrong Shiny, you look like you just saw a ghost. Aha, I think I know what'll snap you out of it."

My eye twitched at the same time the warmth between my legs did the second 'Twilight' put her round flank in front of my face, leaving nothing more than a couple of inches and tail separating me from the little lavender treasure waiting between her legs. I didn't know what the hell I was doing when my head started to inch closer to her, but I was left stunned when her purple tail flicked to the side for a brief second, giving me just enough time to see the puffy mound underneath before she spun around to face me again.

"Nope, bad boy, if you want to get some of this you're going to have to get it from the real deal." with that tantalizing image left in my mind, Cadance dispelled her polymorphic enchantment, turning back into the pink alicorn she normally was. She had managed to destroy any and all remaining barriers I had left with her short bout of roleplay, giving me a smoothness of mind along with a stiffness of body, "I've done what you asked me for, but I'm going to ask you for a favor in return."

I was reluctant to do anything for a mare that viewed literally anything as sexy, but I was honor bound to do so. I nodded my head to give her the 'Okay' to continue.

"Treat her right. She's a wonderful mare that deserves only the best, and I fully expect you to be that other half to complete her life."

Those were the last words I heard from her before she walked back into her room, leaving me alone in the deserted hallway. I had a resolve now, but I needed to get the time to bring all of it up to my sister. I needed to know if what she did on that night meant something to her other than it being a gesture of comfort. My desires were set, but now the seeds of doubt found a different path into my head, thriving on the mystery if Twilight felt the same way I did.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

That new problem plagued my mind for most of the following week, and I couldn't do a single thing to silence it without speaking to my sister. I went to the principle's office to request a day off from my studies that matched up with Twilight's own break to finally have the chance to sort things out once and for all. Normally, he wouldn't accept the request, but I wasn't a normal visitor. All of the hours I put in my extracurricular activities were the keys to give me the day I needed, and so it was done.

I walked through the alabaster halls of the Solaris Building as I got closer to Twilight's dorm. I was able to distract my erratic mind by focusing on the much fancier decorations lining the building I rarely got to walk through, and my eyes caught sight of masterpieces of art set next to life-like sculptures that made the galleries in the city seem like amateurs in comparison. There were barely any dorms in the vast expanse of the building, and even fewer of them were actually being used, so nopony could be seen in the halls as I approached the scarlet double door that led into my sister's dorm room.

Just like she tended to do back when we lived together, she forgot to lock the front door, so I decided to let myself in. After all, when did siblings ever have to ask for permission to visit each other. Her dorm may as well have been a house, and a big one at that. The door lead directly into the living room, which was fittingly colored with a variety of purple hues that clashed with white tiles when they reached the kitchen. Twilight was nowhere to be seen, not even near a pile of books next to her couch that marked what I assumed was her reading area, and I was about to leave to search for her in the training chambers before a muffled noise caught my attention.

My ears turned towards a door I hadn't noticed before, trying to decipher the noise I had just heard before an idea popped into my head. I thought that Twi could be in that room, and I sighed in relief of not having to travel all the way to the training grounds inside the castle. I wanted to play it coolly to try to avoid being so blunt with the topic I had to bring up, and I prepared myself for any of the plethora of outcomes that could result.

All of them but one.

The door was cracked open just an inch, and I got a strange tingle in my horn that stopped me from nosing open the door. There was magic in the air, pulsing from behind the door, so I concluded that Twilight was probably practicing her spells at home. I snuck a peak in the room through the slightly open door to avoid disturbing her. She always seemed to impress me with the art she could make out of her abilities, but that wasn't what had caused my attention this time.

A moan pierced the wet squelching sound filled the room as Twilight continued to furiously rub booth of her hooves between her dripping legs, twisting her head from side to side from her ministrations. I couldn't look away then, I was too far gone as my hormone drowned mind pushed me to continue watching the show unknowingly being put on for me.

I felt something press against the warm spot between my legs, looking down to find my hooves already at the spot that had brought me down a week ago, not disliking the idea at all. The noises Twilight was making just made the experience all the better. Whenever she would press down more hardly against herself, I would pull back rougher, barely managing to contain myself from ending then and there.

Twilight picked lifted up one of her hooves from the dampness of her slit, making me slow down the pace just as she did the same. The warm flesh between my legs twitched again when she started to lick her hoof clean from her fluids, making my throat go dry from thirst before she returned to madly rubbing more of the precious juices out of her sopping marehood. One of her eyes opened halfway, stabbing me with fear in the chest at the prospect of being caught in the act, but it was put to rest as her already glowing horn floated over a picture frame on her bedside. She never stopped her hoofing as she stared at the picture, and she picked up her already insane speed right after putting it back down.

I mimicked her every step of the way, every moan she let out was one I kept sealed, every pulse her horn gave off was received by my own, and both of us were dangerously close to the edge. She seemed intent on finishing herself off soon, and her writhing body let me know that she was about to reach her climax in a couple of seconds.

I don't know why, but I felt obliged to finish alongside her, and I was too consumed by the sensations to care about the subtle noises I was giving off as I forced myself to leap off of the edge into the sea of bliss. I couldn't choke back the satisfied moan that left my lips a second before I crossed the finish line, but it was drowned out by the racket Twilight was making.

"Ohhh S-Shiny...fu-" I couldn't hear anything else after that for three different reasons. They died away into a long moan as a torrent of fluids slipped past her hooves as she bucked herself against them, I was put into shock by the meaning behind them, and they were enough to kick me into the deep end of orgasmic bliss. Then I remembered that I was in her dorm, not my shower, and if I were to let myself go off there then it would be a really big problem.

I managed to conjure up a hastily made bubble shield around my member a split second before I came, using it to stop my seed from sticking to my sister's bedroom door. That was the last sensical thought that ran through my head before I succumbed to the glorious sensation coursing through me. My enjoyment was interrupted when I heard hooves touch the floor, coming closer to the door I was hiding behind. Panic set in, flooding my already pumping heart with adrenaline I used to dash out of the dorm before I was spotted, leaving no trace of my appearance behind by the time Twilight walked into the musky-scented living room.

Sleep avoided me that night. There was no way I could stop from repeating what had just happened in my mind. To fantasize was one thing, but to spy on the real thing like that was a completely different experience. I didn't care anymore at that point, I didn't care that we were both from the same bloodlines, nor did it affect my train of thought that society viewed it as taboo, I needed to be at my beautiful sister's side as her lover. Unfortunately, I had just wasted the one day I had to talk to her, and I wouldn't be able to avoid my classes for the rest of the week.

It turned out that I didn't have to do anything.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Winter break kicked in for those of us at the college, giving everyone two weeks off to be able to go and do whatever it was we wished to do. Many of the students moved back in with their families for the holidays, and I was no exception. Fortunately, Twilight and I shared the same parents, so we were drawn to the same place with due time without me having to stick a hoof into the flow of events. We lived in the lower districts of Canterlot, where the aristocrat populace wasn't as abundant, so ponies around there were humble as opposed to the high class snobs roaming the upper districts. The first snow of the year floated down onto the cobblestone street I was walking down, slowly piling up on my back as I braved the cold to reach the place I called home before I moved into the college dorms.

I knocked on the door a couple of times, preparing a honest smile to be ready when my mom opened it. That smile didn't falter when the doorway swung open, but it did twitch a little higher a second before I was enveloped in a crushing hug by the lavender unicorn I was proud to call my sister.

"Shiny! It's so good to see you again, come in." Twilight ushered me in before closing the front door, forgetting to lock it as usual before she walked back in front of me, "School really takes up a lot of time doesn't it, brother?"

"Yeah, too much time if you ask me. I've really missed you, Twi." that wasn't a moment of twisted lust, and it wasn't romantic at all either, yet we both knew deep in our hearts that things between us were different. The hug she gave me when I came in had lasted a little too long to be in the norm, the constant fumbling with one of her hooves she was doing was an obvious sign that she was nervous, and the overall mood didn't just feel as if I had spoken with my sister for the first time in weeks.

"Honey, come to the living room, Shining's here! C'mere my boy, give your old man a hug." yeah, leave it to my father to twist the mood in a matter of seconds, but it didn't matter too much, we had two whole weeks after all.

Mom was just as elated as my dad to see me again, and with good reason. Twilight and I are usually separated for weeks at a time, but our parents only got to see us once or twice a year. We had a nice dinner after we all settled down, speaking about the happy moments we went through during our stay at Princess Celestia's school. Mentioning our little meeting at the balcony didn't even enter my mind, and apparently it didn't reach Twilight's either, but we still had many more stories of the shenanigans that went on during the normal college days to fill in the night.

The Mare In The Moon's appearance was clear in the sky by the time we each retired to our separate rooms. I started to plan out a way to speak with my sister privately later on during the week as I walked towards my old bedroom, but my dad called out to me before I stepped in.

"Shining, I'm sorry to say this, but you're room is going to be out of commission for some time. Just goes to show how bad of a cook I am. Do you mind sleeping in the living room tonight?"

I was judging whether I should just agree to sleeping on the couch, or if I should ask him how in the holy name of Celestia he managed to destroy my room while trying to cook something, but Twilight beat me to the punch.

"Shiny can stay with me, dad, if he wants to of course. My bed is big enough to hold us both, and it'll be nice to be able to talk with him some more."

I couldn't decipher what the smile she gave me meant since it was a mixture of actual happiness and sheepishness. 'Cute' would fit the description nicely, but my miniature trail of thought was cut-off when my father responded.

"That's a splendid idea, Twilight. That infernal couch can really be a strain on the back if you were to sleep on it, and I don't think Shining would disagree. Right son?"

"Not at all."

With that settled, my drowsy parents walked down the hall towards their bedroom, leaving me alone with the mare I desperately needed to talk to. Twilight's nervousness seemed to only have doubled ever since mom and dad left, but she found the will to speak anyway.

"Come along then, brother. I hope you like purple, cause you're going to be nothing but that in my room." in all honesty, I had been seeing purple ever since she turned around, purple with a set of stars on it. I managed to will my eyes away before she caught me looking, but they kept returning to the view against my control.

The room she slept in was colored a lot like her dorm, except that it was much smaller and had nothing more than a bed, a dresser with a vanity mirror, and couple of bookshelves. She hopped onto the bed before shutting the door behind me, burying herself under the covers long before I did the same thing myself. We didn't say anything to one another, and we certainly didn't do anything for most of the night except listening to each other's soft breathing. I started to fall asleep under the warm blankets, liking the cozy setting, but a small voice snapped me back to the waking world.

"Shiny, are you still awake?" I let my eyes open to answer her question, staring deeply into her own as she kept talking, "Oh...hi."

"You can't sleep either, huh?" I sat up a little, leaning back against the wooden bed frame with Twilight following suit.

"No, I've got too many things on my mind going on. What about you?"

"I'm not faring much better than you are. I've had this nice mare on my mind for about a month now, but I haven't gotten the courage to ask her out yet." subtly, I started to drop a couple of hints in hopes that she would pick up on them.

"When have you ever had a lack of courage in the past? You're Shining Armor, the best stallion around, and you've got nothing to fear when you want to ask a mare out. Whoever it is would be lucky to have you." Twilight started to unwittingly give off signs of her own, starting with the small undertone of hurt and disappointment in her voice. Not to mention that she was flattering me with the title she put on me. In the past, she would call me the best big brother in Equestria, but now she was saying I was the best out of all the stallions she had ever seen. It was a subtle, yet crucial indication I was lucky to have caught on to.

"Well, as much as I love hearing you say that, my lack of courage isn't just because I'm afraid of rejection. I fear that if I try to make a move of my own the excellent relationship we already have would be destroyed because of my greed for something more. I've been thinking about her nonstop, but I didn't know who to talk to about this other than you."

"Why me? You know I haven't always been big on dating, what with being a huge egghead and all."

I lifted a hoof to raise her downtrodden face, looking her in her majestic amethyst eyes the entire time I spoke to her.

"Twiley, don't you dare call yourself that again. Everyone that says that to you are just a bunch of jealous nitwits trying to bring you down, don't let them have that satisfaction. You're fantastic in many ways that no other mare will ever be. You're humble instead of being a snob with your status, you get to be personally trained by the Sun Goddess herself with every right to have that privilege, and you are better at magic than any of those stuck up ponies can even dream of being."

"Maybe you're right, Shiny, but that doesn't change the fact that nopony at school likes me. I can't go anywhere without getting treated differently than everyone else, and I don't even have any friends to be with at school, much less a coltfriend. You're perfect, everypony loves you, and they do so with good reason. Me on the other hoof, I'm just that mare in the corner, the one that doesn't belong with the rest, the one that nopony loves."

Twilight's eyes started letting out the tears behind them as she talked out her frustrations with me there to hear her. That was I wanted to do for her, to be there as a shoulder for her to cry on instead of being nothing more than a pair of hooves to scare away anyone meaning to do harm. There was still a couple of things I needed to let her know, but they wouldn't need words to be expressed.

I took a page out of her book and went for the plunge, no remorse, and no regrets.

I felt Twilight's sharp intake of breath as I steered her closer to me, connecting her soft lips to mine like she had done that night on the balcony. I slid my hoof down from her check and across her neck, hooking myself to her in a hug that let me deepen the lip-lock we were sharing. Her tears died away when she started to comply with what was going on, tilting her head to the right just enough to allow us to continue unobstructed. Instead of rushing the kiss deeper like we had during the prom, we took the time to suckle on each others lips, enjoying the heightened sensitivity that it resulted in.

We pulled away at the same time, not breaking the hug we shared as we silently looked at one another's happy expressions.

"You can't say nopony loves you, Twilight, because you're looking at one that does in ways that you wouldn't even imagine."

She beat me in commencing the next, tender smooch, still holding back from being too rough to ruin the gentle moment. She backed off first, but she didn't stop right there. I felt her leave a trail of light licks and kisses that left her at my ear, blowing her hot breath against it as she spoke.

"Mmm, I can think of a thing or two, big brother."

Her bluntness caught me off guard almost as badly as the nibble she started on my earlobe, softly grinding the rubbery flesh between her teeth as she let her innuendo hang in the air. Gone was the nervous little mare that had greeted me when I entered the house, leaving behind the unicorn underneath her shell. I started to get worked up right before she stopped her sensitive gnawing session, lowering her head to rest in the crook of my neck as she pulled the covers closer around us.

"Good night, Shiny. Love you."

She had riled me up on purpose, just to leave me hanging like that, but I didn't care. The moment wasn't about lust or desire, it was of fulfillment and acceptance, one that we had both longed for since before we even understood our feelings for one another. It was more than enough for me that night.

"'Night Twiley. Love you too."

My dreams were the same as they had been for the past couple of weeks, yet they seemed so much closer than they ever had before. They weren't just fantasies anymore, they were plans, plans for the future I wanted to see myself in. I had just made the choice in my life that paved the future in stone, and the only thing left for me to do was walk down it alongside my lovely sister.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

"Rise and shine, don't make me go in there with my airhorn!"

I clearly heard my father's playful voice the following morning through the door, disturbing me and the mare entwined in my legs from our sleep. Her eyes fluttered open to meet my own, leaning in to give me a 'Good morning' peck, giggling at how oblivious our parents were to what was going on between us.

I found a little excitement at the prospect of secrecy, not because I never planned on making my love public, but because in all reality, Twilight and I were still fun-loving youngsters in the prime of our lives. We got out of bed shortly after that, making ourselves presentable before stepping out of our bedroom to walk towards the kitchen.

Breakfast went the same as always, my dad kept talking about his miniature ships while mom kept talking excitedly about the preparations she would need to put into effect before we could host the Hearth's Warming Eve celebration next week. Of course, we couldn't always stay in the house, so Twilight and I donned our sweaters so that we could go out to the movies together.

The next week continued similarly to that. Our dad would wake us up at eight in the morning every day, we would enjoy some conversation over breakfast, after that we'd would find something to take up our time outside of the house, and we would mess around a little before we went to sleep. We never went further than making out and groping around a little, but we were content with one another.

When the much awaited holiday finally came around, our house flooded with distant cousins we rarely saw around town. It just went to show how much members of our family were prone to live as shut-ins, never actually seen unless you were looking for them. My sister and I didn't relate very well to our...well, relatives. We had grown up as members of the middle class while they had been spoiled by the riches they were given, making them seem like borderline snobs.

Things started getting more energetic when our uncle, Moonshine, brought out his trademark Sparkling Moonshine to the table. None of the adults strayed from the drinks, downing at least three bottles of the dreadful stuff before they started dancing. Now, that was another thing that ran in the family, and it was seen clearly by the stumbling ponies that claimed they were 'Showing us their moves'.

Needless to say, the night started to pass by really quickly, so I went to go get a drink to help me bear watching my parents crashing with anyone within an eight feet radius from them. I stuck my head in the cold fridge, searching for a can of soda I had hidden at the back, everypony started hogging them so I decided to save one for later. When I closed the door to the fridge, I discovered Twilight waiting behind it, and I would have screamed from the shock if she hadn't occupied my lips first. She had an abnormally sharp taste on her tongue, something that burned my throat a little as I swallowed it.

"Twilight! What are you doing? There are too many ponies around, they'll see us." I savored the lingering taste she had left in my mouth, swirling it around before I finally figured out what it was, "Did...did you drink some of Uncle Moonshine's moonshine?"

"Just a little, Ruby said it would help take the edge off, and I wanted to try it out." dammit, I didn't want Ruby anywhere near my sister. Everyone knew she had an alcoholism problem, and it wouldn't do any good to introduce Twilight to that kind of stuff, "You should try some, here."

My little sister levitated a glass filled with the transparent liquid in it between us, shaking it a little to tempt me. Just her using magic so precisely was a sign that she hadn't had enough alcohol to get drunk, and I was thankful for that, who knew what she could do if she were to go tipsy. Seeing that I wasn't going to drink from that glass, Twilight took a swig big enough to inflate her cheeks, and I was about to berate her a little for doing that, but I never got the chance.

Twilight darted forward again, sealing my lips with her own to cut-off what I had to say. The moment she opened her mouth to push her tongue in was accompanied by the flood of moonshine she still had in her mouth, passing it onto me. I couldn't back away from the kiss, so I had to drink everything she had already poured in. I could feel the strong drink burn its way down my throat, warming my body as soon as it reached my belly, making my cheeks flush even redder. I was dragged into the same state Twi was in, not exactly drunk, but easygoing. That didn't mean I lost my logical thinking though.

"No Twilight. I would love to mess around right now, but we can't do that here, not with so many ponies around that could see us."

"Aww, that's just too bad. I guess I'll just have to go wait for you in my room until we can finally play with one another."

Twilight flashed me a look that I had only seen in a couple of my fantasies in the past before she turned towards the stairway to walk up stairs, and she had a sway to her hips that made me follow her with my eyes until I couldn't see her anymore. Her little innuendo, together with her alcohol-aided make out session, had not only turned me on, it drove me to try and end the party as soon as possible.

When I walked back into the living room, hiding the swell between my legs with some difficulty, I found many of our relatives already passed out on the floor. Someone had fallen on the record player, smashing it to pieces, and every single bottle of moonshine was bone dry. My parent's were tittering back and forth on their hooves as they braced themselves against each others sides to avoid falling to the floor.

The party was over without me having to do anything, but there was still the issue of herding everypony out through the front door. Many of my aunts and uncles were passive drunks, so I only needed to make up a story about them winning the lottery to get them to flush out into the streets with smiles plastered onto their faces. They would find out that I lied eventually, but they wouldn't even be able to remember who it was that lied to them by the time they did.

I needed to be really careful when I moved my parents upstairs, I didn't want one of them injuring their necks that night. They complied silently, trotting slowly toward the master bedroom of the house. They passed out as soon as their heads touched their plush mattress, and they snored contently as I creaked their door shut. They were really heavy sleepers, so they never fixed the accursed squeak their door made whenever it moved.

I gave myself a pat on the back, proud that I had managed to get all of my drunken family members out of my house. That virtually left the house to my little sister and I, putting a smile on my face. It drooped a little when I didn't see anyone inside the room I had been sleeping in for the past week. Her absence made me start wondering where in Equestria she could have possibly gone off to, but I couldn't think too much about it before the door slammed shut behind me, casting darkness across the entire room.

I was about to light up my horn to be able to see, but a purple ring blinked into existence right at its base, blocking off any and all kind of magical output I could give off. Shortly after that, a single lamp at the edge of the room clicked on, dimly lighting the bedroom.

Twilight smiled from her spot on the bed, and I truly had no idea how she got there without teleporting, but that wasn't the only thing that caught my attention about her. She was wearing an outfit that was made up of a Santa hat, four red-white slippers, and a set of matching socks. Celestia knows where she managed to get that from, but she was known to be extremely crafty when the moment called for it.

"Ah, Shiny, I see you could make our little playdate after all. Couldn't help yourself, hmm?" her inhibitions had basically been destroyed by her slight intoxication, leaving the hormone-driven mare underneath shine out through her usual demeanor.

"Twilight, what are you doing?" she had the tendency to rile me up every night just enough before she left me hanging, so I didn't exactly trust her little display right now.

"What am I doing? Weell, nothing at the moment, but I do plan on doing something tonight, or someone to be more specific." just her play on words was starting to turn me on again, and the cute outfit she was wearing clashed hotly with what she was leading me into, "Take a guess at who it is, big brother. I'll even give you a teeny hint."

Before I knew what was going on, Twilight teleported from her idle spot on the bed with a small flash, appearing right in front of me before shoving her muzzle against mine. A weird sensation coursed through my body for a split second, and I found myself lying on my back on the bed with the thrill of first-time teleportation still running through me. Twilight hadn't changed her position much, save that now she was standing on top of me, sticking her tongue as deeply as it would go into my mouth. She took the reigns as the dominant partner, and she did it to a masterful degree.

It was obvious that she didn't plan on stopping at all on that night. She pulled away from her strong kiss with a wet smack, staring into my eyes with her predatory gaze as she let an equally savage grin grow on her face. I breathed in a sharp intake through my gritted teeth as her hind leg found the growing warm spot that marked my shaft and started to push back and forth in a steady motion.

"Mmm, you like that don't you, Shiny." I managed to crack open one of my eyes enough to see her face, but I couldn't do much more than that as she continued to pump. Working myself off on my own was one thing, but to have my little sister do it for me was maddening, quickly pushing me to my limit. Just as I was about to reach the climax of my bliss, she slowed down her pace to a tantalizingly slow speed, letting the pressure she had built up for me die down little by little.

Twilight ignored every single one of my protests, intent on making me last as long as I could, and I didn't know how much better that made things until she started her hoofjob again. The fuzzy material her slippers were made from only increased how good her lascivious playtime felt to me. The pressure started to build up again, making me go tense as she locked her lips with mine again, muffling the moan I let out as I was about to be finished again. Yet again, she pulled away at the last second, denying me the release I craved so much, and she repeated that for multiple times until I decided to not just lay there and take it.

My sister had grown overconfident during her wonderful ministrations, so I caught her off guard when I grabbed her by the waist and flipped our places around, leaving her at my mercy now.

"Oh, what game are we playing now Shiny?" her soft, girly giggle only made what we were doing seem that much more wrong, which made it feel much hotter in turn.

I decided to tantalize her just as badly as she had done to me, so I started to nibble on one of her ears, making my way down her face from there. I licked, caressed, and even nipped here and there as I trailed down her neck and chest, leaving a faint line of wet spots that got lower by the second. My little exploration lead me to two swells on her lower body, and I grinned mischievously right before I latched onto one of them.

Twilight reacted immediately, gasping at the sudden stimulation that came about as I started to suckle on her teat. Her beautiful eyes squeezed shut as I took the nipple in between my teeth, biting down on it just enough to give her a spike of pleasure without hurting her. I let go of the first one to repeat the process on the other, gaining similar results from her all of the way. To finish off the part of the game, I gave one broad lick on each one of the teats before blowing some air on them, using the cool sensation to tease my little sister with just the smallest amounts of pleasure.

I continued to make my way down my lover's body, but I stopped as soon as I reached her most protected treasure. Twilight's slit was already letting some of its fluids out, filling the air with the sweet-smelling musk that made my shaft slap against my belly. Her puffy lips were already parted slightly, giving me just a hint of the pink flesh inside, and I wasted no time before I got to work.

"Shi-, oh god don't s-stop."

Twilight started biting on her lower lip to stop the loud moans trying to escape her mouth since the moment I buried my nose in her soft mound. The smell she gave off wasn't lying, she really did taste sweet, almost like maple syrup. I poked my tongue into her burning hole to see what reaction the would let me get from her, and the writhing she started encouraged me to continue. My nose got covered by her fluids in no time at all, but I didn't care, I just kept licking and suckling at anything I could latch on to, and I ended up getting several mouthfuls of her sweet juices.

My prodding tongue came across a little nub that I hadn't noticed before, and the effect was immediate. Twilight's back arched whenever I slid over the tiny button, so I decided to concentrate on that. Unfortunately, I couldn't reach it easily since my sister's slit was pretty small, but an idea popped into my head after a couple of seconds. I moved my idle fore hooves to her soft labial lips, parting them to give me an easier access to her pink flesh.

With all obstructions gone, I pushed my nose in again, licking furiously at the little pleasure nub without mercy. My sister bit down on her hoof to muffle her shouts, I was driving her insane with that secluded button, so I decided to finish her off as best I could. Instead of tracing it with my tongue, I latched onto her clit with my lips, suckling hardly at it between my lips.

Twilight started punching her free fore hoof against the bed, unable to stop her body from spasming wildly from the electricity running through her veins. I was a little to preoccupied at the moment though, trying to catch as much of the torrent of juices she started leaking from her pleased slit. I doubted I would be thirsty for the rest of the week due to the sheer amount of her love fluids that I had already swallowed.

"Shining...you wonderful stallion you...come here."

My sister called me back up through her heavy breaths, pulling me into another one of her rough battles for oral domination. Just the knowledge that she was tasting herself was enough to make my still erect member slap my belly again. Somehow, she managed to hear that, and she let her eyes trail down to look at it.

"Hmm, I think it's time for me to return the favor. You have been a really good boy so far, so go ahead, enjoy it."

Twilight flipped onto her stomach, buckling her fore hooves as she raised her flank into the air, presenting me with my reward for being such an attentive brother. I could barely hold myself back as I started to mount her, positioning myself at her entrance before a thought came into my head, cutting through the haze of desire in the air.

"Twilight, this might hurt a little, so I want you to tell me if I'm being too rough. Okay?" brotherly care was still heavy in my voice, not leaving even though I was in the middle of sex.

"Oh, you won't have to worry about that Shiny. I didn't just use my hooves in the past after all."

I didn't even want to ask what she was referring to with that, mostly because I already knew the answer, but also because my mind had set itself back to it's instinctive mode since I didn't have to worry about hurting her during our throes of passion.

I wrapped my forelegs around her waist to grip onto something as I started to push at her tight entrance, not getting past it with the first prods. Growing frustrated, I increased the force with which I pushed, managing to slip the tip of my shaft inside her warm hole. It felt incredible to know I was inside her, but thought itself was drowned away by the immense stimulation. Wanting to see how far I could go, I started to push against her again, making both of us moan out as I sunk into her inch by tantalizing inch.

"Ooo...p-push again Shiny."

Instead of just pushing all of the way in like my sister was asking me to do, I pulled back from her the moment half of my member was already in her, and her clenching walls tried to stop me all the way. I slipped my sopping wet shaft out of her until only the tip was left inside, staying like that for a couple of seconds to let my sister get a false sense of security and to let myself cool off before I finished too soon. She was about to whine about me stopping, but I turned it into another throaty moan by shoving myself back inside her quickly, managing to let a couple of more inches in than last time.

I pulled back again after that, deciding to be a little rougher with this next particular thrust. As soon as I had gotten most of myself out of my little sister, I rammed myself back into her squeezing sex, making a slapping noise as she took me to the hilt. That feeling was just fantastic for both of us, being that close to her, and I didn't stop there. I got a steady pace with my ramming, making lewd squelching noises as she tried her best to keep me inside of her as I slipped out, only to push back harder than before.

We rocked back and forth on the bed as our instincts took their course, and I tightened my grip around her waist as my thrusts grew more erratic. Twilight and I were going insane from the stimulation, but I was about to push it a step further. I moved my head down to rest on top of hers, nuzzling into her beautiful purple mane before I started to do what I was there to do in the first place. I lined up my horn against hers, rubbing them against one another, and the immediate effects were unexpected to both of us. The inhibitor spell she had cast on my horn faded away as both of our horns lit up in their own auroras, connecting us in a way other than the body.

Every thrust that slapped against her was a pulse our horns gave off, doubling the pleasure we were feeling by allowing us to exchange sensations. Whenever I sunk inside Twilight, I got to feel what she felt along with my own stimulation, and she felt everything I felt along with her own stimulation. We were blessed that we didn't have any neighbors, because I could almost swear you would be able to hear us through the walls.

"Twi-, I-I'm close."

"Just...k-keep going Shiny...don't stop."

It was a struggle for us to even speak anymore, and we decided to stop talking to concentrate more heavily on our first time sharing a moment like that. I sped up my speed, pistoning in and out of her nonstop. Playtime was over, and it was time to finish it all off, together. I felt that familiar feeling starting to creep up on me again, and due to our connection I could also feel Twilight getting close. I lost myself after that, simply pushing myself as deep as I could into her while she started to push her flank back to meet me at each thrust, making each smack even noisier than before. I never thought I'd share an orgasm with my sister, and I certainly didn't expect to literally share it through our aurora connection, but the much awaited moment finally came.

With a few last thrusts that rammed me as deep as I could possibly get into her, I let myself go. I stayed inside of her with my last push, letting my warm spurts of seed to fill her love mound up, enjoying a height of bliss I had never been able to bring myself to before. I didn't stop pumping my essence into her even after it started to gush out past my buried member.

We both collapsed on the bed after we came down from our climaxes, laying down next to each other with goofy smiles plastered onto our sweaty faces. The smell of incestuous love filled the air as we kissed each other good night, wrapping our forelegs around one another as we let the embrace of sleep take us in. Nothing more needed to be said that night, for we had already spoken with our actions. Before I fell asleep though I managed to remember something important. I lit up my horn to flip the lock on the door, it wouldn't do any good for our dad to walk in and have heart attack from the shock. It was then that I noticed something different about the glow surrounding my horn, it wasn't just magenta anymore, it would shift to a deep purple color from time to time, especially when I was thinking about the mare in my legs.

We had both changed our lives drastically, but it would be for the better, even if society would never come to fully except us. Cadance became a close friend of ours some time after Twilight and I finally accepted one another. I think we visited her to see if she knew an anti-pregnancy spell that we could use. Sure enough, she not only gave us the spell we needed, but an entire package that kept my little sister entertained for weeks. Ironically enough, Cadance was also the one to oversee our union shortly after I proposed to Twilight at our five year anniversary, and it all went off without a hitch. My life has been great from that point on, filled with good times I shared with my wife, and with times we braved the rough patches society put in our way to try and stop our happiness. Now here I am, writing at my bedside, asking myself why I even needed to be reminded if my choice was the right one or not. There is no right choice or wrong choice, there is only the one you choose to take, and I chose to take the one were Twilight would always be at my side.

"Daddy?" the soft voice floated into the ears of the pristine white stallion writing nearby, snapping him out of the journal entry he had just finished writing, "Are you still there?"

Shining Armor got off of the chair he was sitting on to trot back to his large double bed, glancing briefly out through the window that gave him a perfect view of his hometown, Ponyville. Twilight had insisted that they should move there after she defeated the Nightmare Queen, and a quiet town life was a very appealing change of scenery for the white city unicorn. He slipped under the covers, where a small filly was being cradled by her mother.

"Don't you worry, Amethyst, daddy will never leave you." he kissed the magenta unicorn under her short horn, making her smile contently as she snuggled deeper into her mom's warm grasp.

They both longed to have a child, so they beseeched Cadance again to see if she could provide them with a spell to bypass the genetic malfunctions usually brought about due to inbreeding, and sure enough she had one already waiting for them. They didn't know if she created them on her own, or if she scavenged or them in the Royal Archives, but they were really effective. Amethyst had been introduced to their lives four years ago, and she had a striking resemblance to her mother, save for the blue streak in her mane and tail. Spike had taken the idea of having a little sister in stride, never letting anything happen to her when she was given permission to play at the public park.

"What was troubling you, Honey?" Twilight pulled the covers closer to her sleeping daughter and herself as she turned to face her husband.

"Nothing, Sweetie. I was just remembering how our lives used to be before we actually saw each other as lovers." the phrasing put bad thoughts in the lavender unicorn's head, and Shining couldn't stop the question she asked.

"Do you...do you regret anything?"

He pulled her in for a small kiss, assuring her that he still loved her as much as he did the first day they had accepted each other, but he was still going to answer her in words. Before he spoke, he let the memories of the past flash through his mind. The day at the wedding chapel, moving to Ponyville, making good new friends, the day he got to hold his daughter for the first time, and every other precious moment in his life with Twilight was summoned to the forefront of his mind.

"I never have, Twiley, and I never will. You are all my life, my happiness, so if any one were ever to offer me the chance to change my choice in the past, I'd turn them down every time, just because I wouldn't want to risk losing the perfection I already have with you."
