Sorry its been a while since my last post...Ive had a bit of writers block. As always all characters belong to their respective creators except my OC.

It was an exhausting day it had been forever since id been able to just walk around let alone do such heavy work without pain. I was drained but it felt good, I had some money so now was a good time to get Rarity something nice for being such a good hostess and to make up for my little forwardness this morning. I had a few hours before I was due back so I headed to Ponyville's market to look around. It was nice to see so many smiling faces just going about life without fear. Where I come from it always seemed like smiles were forced to hide fear and sadness. There was so much to see and so much to choose from I didn't know where to start. When it was all said and done I stopped at a shop that sold various fashion accessories. I could tell that Rarity liked to look her best so I thought I'd get her something she could wear. I guess the look of uncertainty on my face as I looked around was apparent because before long the shop owner asked if I needed help choosing something.

"Well I'm not sure I'm looking for a gift for a pony named Rarity but I'm not sure what she'd like," I said not taking my eyes off the many displays.

With a big smile the shop owner responded," oh I see some pony else looking to woo Miss Rarity."

I didn't realize she was so popular but I guess it didn't surprise me seeing as she was beautiful.

"No no it's not like that I just want to thank her for giving me a place to stay and being so nice to me," I retorted.

"Oh well if you say so let me see she had been in here a few times eying this hair pin but didn't want to spend the bits to purchase it perhaps it will do the trick," said the shop owner taking out a sparkling hair pin with sapphire jewels on it.

I thought to myself if she had her eye on it that it would be a perfect choice. I agreed to take it and near dropped when I found out how much he wanted for it but in the end I decided it was a small price to pay. I had it wrapped up and I took off to head to the boutique. On my way there I passed a nice little flower stand with a pony that seemed to not be getting much business. I couldn't see why not all the flowers looked amazing so I figured a nice bouquet would be a nice finishing touch. So I stopped and had the florist make me a nice arrangement. I was almost there when panic began to catch hold of me. I didn't know what kind of frame of mind Rarity would be in after this morning, would she be angry or excited. How did I myself actually feel about it, it had happened so fast. I walked in the door and called out to her letting her know I was back. I heard her shout from the back that she was in her work room to go on back. When I walked in the doorway I saw her hard at work at her sewing machine with fabric and thread floating around.

Realizing I was there she said as she continued her work," just a few more stitches and I'm done how was your day."

It felt strange like we had been together for years already and I was home from work. Home, such a strange word to use in this situation. But it felt normal as well.

"I'm exhausted but it felt good to work again," I said leaning on the door frame watching her work.

After a few more moments she finished her work and turned toward me. When she did she was greeted with the flowers I had gotten for her.

"Oh my Takashi are those for me," she said with an obvious blush.

"Yes they are but so is this," I said handing her the bag with her gift.

Her eyes lit up with excitement as she used her magic to open the bag and revealed the shining hair pin. She seemed to tear up but she wasn't sad. On the contrary she looked happy, smiling as she fixed the pin in her mane.

Walking over to me she placed her front hooves around my neck and said, "thank you so much you're sweet, but you didn't have to get me anything."

"I wanted to show my appreciation to you you've been so nice to me since I got here," I said wrapping my arms around her.

Embracing her felt good having her in my arms gave me warmth I've never felt before. I don't know what came over me but I began running my fingers through her mane. Placing my hand on her cheek I moved her face so I could see her eyes. They sparkled more than the hair pin she wore. As if I had no control over myself I slowly leaned closer to her. She knew what was about to happen and didn't show signs of stopping me. When our lips met she closed her eyes and gave a soft almost silent moan. I felt like I was melting. We fell over onto a nearby couch and continued to kiss one another. One minute id kiss her lips the next id move to her neck. This feeling was intoxicating I didn't want this moment to end. But I began to feel guilty. I didn't want Rarity to think I was taking advantage of her.

Pulling back from a kiss I looked down at her and said, "I suppose I can't deny how I feel about you but at the same time feelings like this are completely new to me. I don't want you to feel like I'm taking advantage of you. I really like you and hope there could be a future for us."

Sitting up and placing a hoof on my cheek she looked at me and responded, "I know exactly how you feel because I find myself feeling deeply for you. As my friends know I'm not one to hold back but I have been because I didn't want to chase you away."

It was if a barrier had been broken and our feelings began to pour out to each other. We sat and talked for a while longer until we realized we were both hungry. Rarity decided she'd get dinner ready while I went and took a shower. I was beside myself it felt like my energy had been restored and I could do anything. I quickly showered and changed into something comfortable. The smells from the kitchen were great.

Sitting at the table Rarity turned to me and said, "I know getting used to the diet here is going to be tough but I tried my best tonight."

Looking at the table I saw pasta with an oil sauce, salad, and some bread with a garlic spread.

"Everything looks great especially you," I said with a wink.

Blushing as she sat down we enjoyed a great dinner together. We talked about we had done with our day. She was amazed at what I was able to do with the field and was hoping to see for herself what I could do. She told me about how she had been making dress orders for various clients from all over Equestria for a yearly dance that wasn't too far off called the Grand Galloping Gala. She also mentioned that her and her friends had been invited every year since they met Twilight. We cleaned up the kitchen together and decided it was time to turn in. We walked up to the second floor together and kissed her goodnight and started to head to my room when she stopped me.

"Takashi…I know it's sudden but would you stay with me tonight," Rarity said staring at the floor.

I didn't know what to say. I knew we had confessed our feelings for one another but I honestly didn't think things would move this fast. But as shocked as I was I couldn't say no. I smiled as she led me to her room. What a night I was in for.

Woo hoo next chapter i try my hand at a bit of naughty writing ;)
