#7 of Penchant, Predilection

A small bit of Ike's past is revealed.

He is also dragged around by Rarity.

Rarity also shows a bit of her sultry side.


I awoke to a wonderfully earsplitting noise, an alarm clock. They have those darned things in Equestria too? I buried my head under the pillow to escape the noise. The alarm clock ceased it awful noise, Twilight shifting to look at the time on its face. I peered out from under the pillow, hiding as Twilight looking over at me.

"Get up silly, no use staying in bed all day." She said, noticing my peek. "And Spike, get up and send that message to the Princess. You can have an extra hour of sleep afterwards."

"I don't get one?"

"Not today, we need to prepare for Princess Celestia to arrive."

"Why would a princess come to Ponyville?" I asked

"To see you silly. I wrote her a message, and spike is just about to send it. Your case seems special enough to warrant a visit."

A princess? Coming to see me... this was too much. I guess she would care because of the whole me not being from Equestria thing, but visit me in person?

"This is all a bit sudden" I replied getting up from the bed. Spike belched green fire and the scroll disappeared from sight, I didn't feel like questioning it...

"Why do you look so surprised? Celestia is a caring ruler, and she likes to know what is happening in Equestria. Especially when strange news like this comes from her student. Who knows, perhaps she has some insight on how you could have gotten here."

"Maybe its something I don't need know." I replied. Equestria is hooves down better than Earth any day. It may not have all of the same comforts but it is as good a place as any to be.

"But didn't you say your planet could use our abilities? That it could end so many terrible things?"

"Yes, but Humans are barely accepting of each other. There is no way that they could peacefully accept the help of another species. They would be mistrusting at best and murderous at worst."

"I... I see. And I can sense you have reason not to trust others of your race. If its not too much may I ask what?"

"It's a long story, one that left my family broken. My sister..." Ike paused a tear falling down his face. "She was eight..." I broke down, unable continue my story, as the memories still hurt me deeply. Twilight came over, taking me in a long embrace. The embrace lasted for quite a while before I continued speaking. "Yesterday was the first day I felt whole again. In the years after my sister died something was missing from my life, the ability to let my guard down... to be open, loving, caring. I have to thank all of you girls for being my friends. Helping my heart to open was the best gift anypony could have given."

I wiped the last of the tears away and with a few more words Twilight and I set off. Despite the tears, I knew that this day, this amazing and glorious day, would be a great start into my new life. Equestria was my new home, and I just knew that I would love it here.

~~

It seems that after breakfast, before that day can fully bloom, that Twilight is forcing me to go along with her and Rarity.... To the spa... Doesn't she know that going to the spa is really a girl's only kind of thing?

Surprisingly, even as a male in the spa I received no questioning glances. Perhaps it was because of me being a unicorn. We aren't thaaat dainty. Well at least I wasn't, Rarity on the other hand... was relishing every minute of the treatment. Rarity and Twilight were getting that silly green goop smeared all over their faces and I sat as still as I could hoping the two workers would forget me when they were finished. As they were about done I raised a hoof awkwardly trying to shield my face from view.

"His first time at the spa?" one of them asked the girls noticing my antics.

Rarity gave a nod and replied "And do leave the cucumbers off until you finish with him, we want to see."

One of the spa workers approached me "Its not as bad as it looks just relax and get it over with." I made a face and the girls giggled at me. " Just pray Rarity doesn't drag you in here with her every week." The worker whispered to me jokingly. I stuck my tongue out at the girls who continued to laugh as I closed my eyes, unused to having a hoof near them. The application didn't take too long and cucumber slices quickly blinded me entirely.

The next few minutes passed in awkward silence... "Sooo? I heard you make clothing?" I questioned Rarity.

"What I make is more than just plain old clothing my dear, I make works of art. Even the princesses come to me for their royal fashion needs. Speaking of, I have a dashing suit I need to measure you in for hemming. You need to look amazing for when Celestia arrives."

"So clothing in Equestria? Its mostly just for special occasions?"

"Is that so surprising?"

"Where I am from we are clothed almost all the time. Other wise... well stuff would be just hanging there is plain sight... At least as a pony its not as noticeable."

"Oh we notice dear."

"Yeah, when you girls blatantly stare at it..." I said awkwardly "Its... umm ... flattering... I guess, but quite a bit awkward for me sometimes."

Our conversation was interrupted as we removed the silly facial cream moving over to a hot tub. My eyes did feel better from the good cry earlier; I guess that cucumber thing works decently... And, wow was the water hot. I eased into it slowly, as did Rarity. The soaking helped to relieve all my muscles; even ones I didn't quite realize were tense relaxed. I inhaled deeply, smelling the sweet scent of whatever was in the water. Oh, great... now I'm going to smell like frou-frou flowers all day. Oh well... there are worse things.

The time passed quickly in silence as I lay my head back against a cushion. Unfortunately all good things must come to an end and it was back to all the other spa stuff...

I walked out of the spa with the girls. Did they really have to polish my horn? I understand the hoof pedicure thing, but my friggin horn looks like shiny wax. Hope this coating stuff wears off quick...

"Twilight, would you be a dear and allow me to take Ike for the day. I have some simply amazing and bold fashion pieces I must have him try on."

"Sure thing Rarity. Just try not to poke him with the needle too often, you might scare him away." She joked.

"I assure you, I have never pricked a customer! Well except that one... but that was on purpose."

I headed off with Rarity towards her boutique asking "So why on purpose?"

"Well... You probably haven't herd of the royal snob blueblood. But let me just say he lacks all the gentlemanly traits that royalty should have. He heard of the boutique and decided to come for some clothing not knowing it was I who owned it. I was still quite angry about his mistreatment of me at the Gala. He was even extra rude when he realized, so when I was placing pins for the hemming I may have 'accidentally' stabbed one into his royal pincushion."

I laughed profusely at this. "You..." I laughed more "Stabbed royalty... in the flank? How does somepony get away with that?"

"Dear, Celestia owes the kingdom to us girls. Some low class nobility like Blueblood can't lay a hoof on any of us." I gave a questioning stare. " You mean Nopony has told you?"

"Told me what?" I asked

"About the elements of harmony and their bearers!" I shook my head. " Well this is going to be a long conversation indeed. But I'll let you try on my newest Colt fashions to pass the time." She pushed through the doors into her boutique and immediately began floating clothing over to me. "Lets get started."

As I tried on countless outfits receiving nods of approval or shakes of the head from Rarity she told me of the journey of the six mares. I was wowed when I heard her retelling of Luna and how she was once Nightmare moon. She stopped shortly to place a few pins and then I was even more surprised to hear the trials of defeating the strange sounding lord of chaos Discord. She regaled me with the story of the Crystal Kingdom and the Dark Lord Sombra. The mares had done so much together; even Twilight had helped unveil the Changeling Queen Chrysalis and her plot to take over Equestria. I had no clue each of these mares had so much history together.

"I am sorry nopony told you sooner, we are just used to everypony already knowing. We don't really care that much for the fame or recognition. We don't even have the elements with us currently as they are stored safely away at the Castle."

"I had no clue such pure magic existed in this world."

"For every good magic, there has been an evil to match it. But with most of it defeated and Discord reformed I feel the balance of power in Equestria has been tipped in favor of the light."

I thought about all the mares and my mind landed on Rainbow thinking of yesterday "Do you happen to have a pirate outfit?" I asked.

"A strange request, but I think I could make one. Give me a few days. Might I ask why you would want something like that so far away from Nightmare Night?"

I was a little surprised Rainbow hadn't blabbed to Rarity, she didn't have much trouble telling Twilight. "It's a little thing Rainbow and I were planning." I responded, not wanting to give too much away.

"Alright." Rarity said sounding a little disappointed at not getting the entire story. But she immediately perked up, remembering something. "Oh I forgot. I have one last outfit for you to try on."

The suit she brought out looked to be a fashionable but normal black with a golden lined collar. It looked to have some sort of system of buckles impossible to do without magic. "This will accent that dark blue flank of yours nicely."

Wait did she just bring up my flank? "Umm thanks..." I began to put on the suit and noticed more of the gold colored fabric lining the pocket and cuffs. The suit was a bit heavier than I thought it would be. I took a closer look at the golden fabric, could it be? "This is real gold thread?" I asked incredulously.

"Only the finest comes from Rarity, dear. Do put it on already."

I carefully slipped into the suit as Rarity watched intently.

"It needs one more thing... Ah!" she opened a chest and pulled out an ornate crystal rose. "Something I picked in the Crystal Kingdom."

This rose was a work of art, it looked like it was living despite the fact it was crystal. "That was alive? You said picked?"

"Yes dear, the ponies of the Crystal kingdom allowed me the choice of one flower from the gardens and as I picked it the rose turned it into crystal." She placed it carefully into the gold lined pocket, making sure it was safely secured.

"I can't accept this. First a suit with real gold, and now a priceless one of a kind memory."

"Oh, Ike honey, its perfectly fine. Nothing but the best for you." I was really starting to understand the Element of generosity part... she was generous to a fault.

"I can return the rose and the suit right after Celestia's visit tomorrow."

"Don't make me knock it into that silly head of yours, I'm giving the suit to you."

"But it must cost a for..."

"Don't make this harder than it needs to be." She interrupted. "And besides, my talent involves finding gems. I never have a shortage of funds... Well, if I manage to hide the lot of them when Spike comes around."

"He hoards?" I asked, thinking him to be like the dragons of legend.

"No, he eats gems." I gave Rarity a disbelieving look.

"It was hard for me to believe as well, but to him they are like candy. He even says each has its own unique flavor."

"Are you sure there isn't anything I could do to repay you?" I said slipping carefully out of the suit and safely hanging it.

"Well... I..." she stopped and sighed to herself. "If you..." at this point Rarity was looking quite flustered. She wasn't used to talking about such things, or asking for anything.

"Rarity?" I asked concerned

"You wont let me off the hook on this will you?"

"I can't accept this," I pointed to her gift, "not without giving some form of thanks."

"I... um..."

"You are at least getting a hug." I teased

"Oh all right, I guess that isn't too much to ask of you. A hug it is." She still looked like she still wanted something, and was too embarrassed to ask. I took her into an embrace and she held me tightly. I absentmindedly rubbed in circles on her back as the hug was extended much longer than normal.

"I still have to thank you for being there for me when I first arrived at Ponyville. Having all you amazing mares around helped me realize how to be happy again."

Rarity melted into me as we embraced.

"Do you perhaps... have room in your heart to love another pony?" She asked.

"As you wish milady." I half jokingly said finally breaking the hug.

"Aww, don't stop now. I was just getting so relaxed" Rarity responded at my light backrub's abrupt ending. "If you would like you can follow me up to my room." She said a bit timidly.

"Lead on."

"So eager, all I'm suggesting is a simple and innocent massage." Rarity said with a decent dash of sarcasm, gaining some confidence.

And so I followed her, finding myself in in a large room upstairs that looked like a bedroom and a creation room at the same time. Rarity led me over to her bed and jumped up. I joined her, straddling her as she lay belly down on the bed. I really didn't know exactly how to go about massaging a pony but it couldn't be that hard.

I started with her shoulders, pushing my hooves into the firmly yet gently at the same time. As I kneaded them she gave a relaxed sigh. She was quite beautiful, lying there with a look of bliss upon her face as I massaged all her thoughts and worries away. I moved down her a little and began rubbing her back. My massage left little patterns in her coat and for a time I just messed around with creating swirling patterns. A sweet scent exuded from her coat as I ran my hooves through it. After moving to massage her sides he began to laugh lightly.

"Th. That tickles." She said through giggles. To this I continued for a few seconds purposefully before returning to the massage.

I moved along, turning my body around to have access to her flank. I lightly and slowly moved down from where her back shifted into her flanks. As my hooves began to massage her there she let out a light gasp and I stopped immediately.

"No it's fine," she stammered, "Keep going."

I obliged, kneading her flanks firmly. My actions were received by her deepened breath as I got lower and lower. I ran a hoof over her distinct cutie marks as she shuddered in pleasure. Next I concentrated on her lower limbs she spread them a little as I massaged her right leg. I could see her excitement as I switched to the other limb. She glistened for me, desiring me to dare a touch.

I finished with her leg and promptly dismounted, lying down on the bed as to hide my throbbing desire. "Wait right here, I'll be right back." She said dashing off. I wondered what she could possibly have in mind.

She re-entered several minutes later, allowing me to clear my head sufficiently and let my blood return to the normal places in my body. And as soon as I saw Rarity the recovery process started to reverse. How could a pony look so sexy in clothing? She had put herself in a scanty and revealing set of clothes that defined her shape perfectly. It hugged her flanks but still left her arousal exposed. Somehow it was more provocative than seeing her plain naked.

"Your gawking dear, get down here and kiss me already." I gave in to her sultry demands and joined her.

"I thought all you wanted was an innocent massage." I joked, imitating her earlier sarcasm. She pulled me a little closer and silenced any further comments. Her scent was prevalent at this distance and I look it in, breathing through my nostrils, as we locked ourselves into the kiss. We continued at it for some time and she occasionally broke away, only to start anew.

When we ended the last kiss she spoke " Would you consent to make love to me?"

"Anything for you Rarity. No need for the formality." I replied giving her cheek a quick nuzzle.

She walked over to the side of her bed looking back at me. She flipped her tail up and said "Then come take me like the stallion you are."

I slid up behind her as she braced herself, preparing. My front hooves left the ground and went up to wrap around her my haunches tensing as I found my target. Her gasp as I entered her echoed through the house. "I didn't know I... ngh... Picked such a virile Colt of the job. Perhaps a bit slower to start." She gasped out between moans. I slowed myself as she placed her head down on the silken sheets chest heaving.

Soon enough she felt entirely comfortable with her new stuffing and shifted back against me grinding herself whenever I hilted. I waited every time she did so, allowing her to squeeze herself around me, just as I lovingly held her in my embrace. Her beautiful curled mane bounced lightly with every thrust nearly mesmerizing. How she maintained it so beautifully was a mystery.

~Rarity

The thought of what Ike was about to do to her was enticing, Rarity felt his weight shift as he mounted her from behind. He found his way into her in mere moments, and her eyes went fuzzy with pleasure. He was quite larger than she had expected and she had to ensure he started slowly enough. She slipped a few words out and relaxed on the sheets as she felt her depths being filled.

She let out short moans, as he slowly thrust himself into her. She pushed back against to aid his thrusts and rewarded his hilting by grinding herself groin upon his. His forelegs firmly wrapped around her and she could feel the way his breath played through her mane. Rarity teased her stallion by clenching down around him as her natural lubricants seeped out of the coupling. She could nearly smell the arousal in the air.

She felt Ike nuzzle her mane as he hilted into her. Rarity felt she was ready for something more. "I think you can be a little less gentle now." She hinted.

~Ike

I heard Rarity speak, and took her words as a knowledge she was ready for more. I pulled out all the way except for the tip and made sure to let her feel the purpose behind the next thrust. She slid forward a little but spread her legs a bit further and steadied herself, wanting more. And I gave just that, a single drop of sweat finding its way down my face. I wiped it away with a hoof as her body quaked beneath me. I tightened my grip on Rarity, smelling her arousal in the air.

"Ike... I'm close" Rarity gasped to me, her body continuously shaking in pleasure. I slowed down to a painstakingly slow pace preventing her from reaching the orgasm she was about to have. She whimpered, as I slowly trust into her.

"Rarity. Did you want me to... um..."

"Yes!" she replied forcing herself against me readily. I began thrusting again, allowing the damp mess that were our groins to slap lewdly together. Rarity quickly found her way back to the pleasure she had been feeling just a small while ago. I tried to make each movement count as I began thrusting a bit unevenly. Rarity bit her lip before crying out. Encouraged by her noise and shaking body I allowed myself to plummet over the edge, spilling the viscous fluid into her depths.

As we calmed down together I lay my head against part of her mane, nearly threatening to fall asleep on its soft curls. "Never change Rarity." I nearly yawned out.

"I wouldn't dream of it my dear Ike."
