Hearts & Hooves Day
Rarity's Moment
Rarity was trotting happily home, completely rejuvenated by a morning at the spa and having witnessed true love blossoming all across Ponyville, the seeds of attraction planted in both mare and stallion, soon to grow into something that would hopefully hold endless beauty. She sighed, hoping that soon she, too, would receive romantic attention from a handsome stallion, somepony to sweep her off of her hooves and bring her wildest fantasies to life.
As she passed through the center of Ponyville, Rarity slowed, stopping at the sight of a familiar face. "Hello!" She trotted over, smiling at him. The tall, blue, stallion turned around, smiling at the small mare happily. "Hey, how're you, Rarity?" She sighed dramatically, stepping around him and getting closer. "If only I could get some attention today, I've heard a few of my friends have been swooped up by a stallion... now, I wait for my knight." Toe Tapper smiled, looking her over for a moment and shaking his head. "You won't have to wait long." She blushed, bidding him farewell and heading toward her boutique.
Rarity arrived at her home, laying down and resting her pretty blue eyes for a short while. Soon, she rose again, deciding that catching up on her laundry would be a wise decision. Once ready to hang her garments, she proceeded outside, beginning to magically clip sheets and shirts to the string suspended above her, letting them dry under the natural sun. She hummed to herself, smiling happily as she worked.
From behind her, she heard hooves stepping closer and closer, then her vision was blocked. She gasped, taking a few steps backwards and walking into the body of another pony. "Hello again." She smiled, recognizing his baritone voice with ease. "Hello, Toe Tapper." She sighed, turning to face him.
She bit her lip, bouncing up and down happily. "You bought flowers! For me?" Rarity took them in her hoof, sniffing a large bouquet of roses. "They're beautiful!" Toe Tapper glowed with self-worth, happy that the pretty mare enjoyed her present.
"You said you wanted your knight to come and sweep you away, so... here I am." Rarity giggled, covering her smile with her hoof as she cradled his flowers. "Pardon? You must be joking..." Toe Tapper held his ground, eliciting a surprised look from the mare. She ran her hoof across her curly purple mane, confused. "I didn't know you held certain... feelings... for me." She blushed again, looking over how tall he was and his perfectly combed dark blue mane.
Toe Tapper looked down at his hooves, his burning, golden, eyes tracing up her legs and back to her face. "How could any stallion not be attracted to you, you're the most beautiful mare in all of Ponyville." Rarity gasped, waving her hoof at him in dismissal while biting her lip cutely. "Oh hush!" Toe Tapper smirked, wanting to see her blush again. "You're also the most stylish, obviously." She granted his wish of getting to see her blush again.
"Toe Tapper! Stop, please, you honor me, you truly do." He smirked smartly, watching her as she brought the flowers inside, then return to him. "Thank you again for the flowers and the compliments."
"You deserve every last one and a million more." She smiled again, hugging him as a thanks for everything he'd done for her. Rarity felt listened to. When they were rehearsing with the Ponytones, he was punctual and caring, always willing to go the extra-mile and help her when she needed it. He was handsome, well groomed and intelligent, Sweetie Belle loved him to no end as well. She couldn't help but notice how perfect he was as he stood there.
"I'd be a fool not to ask for your company tonight." Rarity smacked him instantly, gasping angrily. "Toe Tapper, I'd never!" He took a step back, rubbing his cheek. "I meant dinner! Dinner, like... for Hearts and Hooves Day. You're smart and your sweet and..." He stopped, the glow radiating from his eyes saying everything.
Rarity stood in silence, wondering if he were in love with her. She shuffled her hooves, gliding one of them over the grasses beneath her and pondering if she were in a place where a relationship were a feasible thing. "Please." His begging made her heart crack, Rarity wanted to run away or kiss him. "I... I think so highly of you and I'd hate for complications to spoil our friendship."
Toe Tapper took a step back, frowning severely. She could see the hurt in his eyes, the complete loss he must of been feeling as he began to walk away. Rarity hung her head as well, suddenly overwhelmed with regret. "Wait!" She pinched her eyes closed, the stallion looking over his shoulder and turning back to her. "I'm sorry Toe Tapper, I can't think of a reason for why I'm being so mean to you right now, I'm so sorry."
He didn't smile at her, knowing that her guilt for turning him away did nothing to change the fact that he had indeed been turned away. "Enjoy the flowers..." He wanted to say more, but simply closed his mouth and started to walk away. Rarity felt awful, she wanted so desperately to have the confidence to say yes to him.
Rarity ran after the moping stallion, stopping just in front of him and quickly pressing her lips to his. Just as she had always dreamed, he quickly wrapped his hooves around her back, dipping her into the kiss, he holding her tightly to his chest. She reached up, her hoof shakily finding the back of his neck and holding him in place. Rarity's heart fluttered madly, amazed that the stallion she had so easily turned away knew exactly how she wanted to be kissed.
Being a gentlecolt, Toe Tapper released her first, standing the small, white, mare back onto her hooves gingerly, his hooves slowly drifting off of her body. "Thank you." He nodded, walking on as if that was all Rarity intended to give him. "Toe Tapper, I change my mind! That kiss... you took control and knew just how to touch me. I'd love to go to dinner with you, I'd simply love to. If it were to go well, maybe we could... keep seeing each other... like that."
Toe Tapper smiled again, his golden eyes regaining some glow. He hugged onto Rarity, she slowly blinking and staring intently at him. Their eyes locked, and once again Rarity felt like she was being looked at exactly the way she always wanted to be. "Is this just me or..." Rarity shook her head, kissing him. "I feel it, too." She kissed him again, this time their lips colliding and kissing repeatedly, he allowing her dominance in this kiss, just like she wanted. The prim and proper mare glowed with joy, happy to be cared for and so kindly and lovingly thought about and loved.
"Could this be love?" Toe Tapper smiled at her words, looking from her lips to her eyes, she doing the same to him. "I hope so." They locked into another kiss, Rarity then given the attention she dreamed of receiving on Hearts and Hooves Day.
That's all for Rarity X Toe Tapper!
