"What's the big deal Dash, it's not as if someones watching us" Twilight said, with a hint of annoyance.

"I know but it's just... I don't know.." Dash said, she nervously rubbed the back of her neck. Rainbow sat up from the bed and looked around the dimly lit room. The candle next to her on the bedside table was barely enough to light up Twilight's bedroom, though Rainbow could make out a picture on a dresser in the room. It was of her, Twilight, and all of their friends having a picnic. Rainbow got distracted looking at it until she felt Twilight sit up next to her and rest her hoof on her shoulder.

"Rainbow, I think your making a bigger deal over this then this really is" Twilight reasoned, but Rainbow just at looked at her curiously. "It just seems weird, I mean i'm supposed to be the tough more stallion one. Sorta like the super cool alpha" Dash replied. Twilight merely rolled her eyes before she responded, "All i'm saying is that you don't have to embarrassed about being the little spoon dash". Even in the dimly lit room Twilight could see a slight blush on Rainbow's cheeks.

"I know it's dumb, and even kinda childish but it seems weird. Having you wrap your hooves around me? I'm supposed to be an awesome kick-flank, radical pegasus, but then at the same time have you hold me in your arms like a damsel in distress sorta thing. Plus what if someone finds out, like Spike?" Rainbow said as she looked towards the door. She just kept trying to find more and more excuses before asking something out loud, which she wish she hadn't.
"But why do I like it so much then?" and pretty much as she said it, she heard Twilight let out a soft giggle.

"That's not what I mean't it's like-" Dash was completely flustered but Twilight cut her off. "It's fine if you like being cuddled Dash, you don't need to be embarrassed. Honestly I think it's sort of cute that your strong and brave during the day but cute and cuddly at night" Twilight giggled, which just made Dash blush even harder.

"but what if Spike or the girls find out-" Dash then felt two hooves on each side of her face turn her head to face Twilight. "It's one of the things I love about you most Rainbow. You''re strong, brave, courageous, cool, and extremely pretty even if you won't admit it" Dash smiled at that. "Plus you also have a softer more caring side to you that you only show to people you trust the most, which is why i'm so honored when you want to be the little spoon. It definitely shows me that you trust me more then anypony else and that your safe around me." Twilight finished with a quick kiss on Dash's lips to conclude her point. Twilight then grinned "Plus nobody has to know about it. It's not like i'm going to gossip about what we do in bed to the girls" which made Dash laugh.

"heh heh... yeah I get your point, and yeah I think your right. I've never really let my guard down around anypony in my life the way I do with you. Without making this any worse I just feel safe around you and definitely when you uh... hold me in your arms" Dash said once against getting a little embarrassed. Though not as much as before.

"Good, that's just the way I like it" Twilight said before swinging her hoof around Dash's neck and pulling them both back into bed. Dash sighed dreamily as she felt Twilight wrap her hooves and wing around her belly and lift her hindleg over onto Dash's. She felt completely safe, cuddling with her marefriend knowing that nothing bad would happen if she had her back. "I love you, Rainbow" Twilight said as she let her head rest in the crane of Rainbow's neck which the pegasus had no objection to "love you too Twilight". Everything was just right up until "you're just too cute Dashie" Twilight grinned "alright don't push it Twilight..." Dash humphed.

"But you are, you have that beautiful rainbow colored hair-" Dash felt Twilights hoof stroking her hair. "your pretty pink eyes-" Rainbow could feel the blush growing. "your cute little ears-" Twilight murmured as Dash went to reply "they're not cute *aah*" but was cut off by her own gasp as she felt Twilight nibble on her ear. Rainbow would be a liar if she said that wasn't one of the best things she's felt in her life. She let out an involuntary sigh when Twilight stopped nibbling. "and how adorable you look when I do this-" Twilight said as she playful jabbed Rainbow in her ticklish spot on her side. Rainbow lunged up a bit with a involuntary giggle, only to put on a playful grumpy face right afterwards.

"See even your angry face is cute" Twilight grinned as Rainbow pouted even more. Rainbow then let the frown slip away into a smile and booped Twilight on the nose causing her to wrinkle her nose in an adorable way, not that Rainbow would admit that to anyone but Twilight.
"You're the cute one remember, i'm the awesome one" Rainbow insisted. "Oh yeah, how about we make a deal then" Twilight grinned. "Alright Sparkle, i'm listening"

"How about you admit that your cute, and then i'll nibble your ear some more since you obviously liked it" Twilight snickered while sporting the most devious smirk. Rainbow couldn't believe what she'd just heard, how could her marefriend put her in such a messed up position. This was practically asking her to choose a path, a safe brightly lit path with a single pegasus at the end of it, without a snuggle buddy; or an evil darkness filled path that led to snuggling and ear nibbling at the end. It was Heaven vs Hell but with a twist at the end. As Rainbow considered which torture she would prefer she felt Twilights hot breath on her ear, teasing her, she was so close but not close enough.

"Alright, alright! fine i'll say it" Rainbow spat out. Twilight grinned and lifted her hoof to her own ear "what's that I didn't hear you?". Rainbow grit her teeth "i'll say it". Both of them sat up from the bed. Twilight then cut in with "but you have to go all out. you need to say 'I Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle's mare friend, am cute, and an awesome snuggle buddy' and at least it has the word awesome in it". Rainbow facehoofed and slowly dragged her hand down, pulling her face slightly with it.

"*sigh* I Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle's marefriend, am cute..... *sigh* and an awesome snuggle buddy" Rainbow hung her head in defeat on the last part. "There, I said it.." she moaned, but gasped when was quickly pulled back down into the blankets and Twilights warm embrace. "Good, that's all I wanted to hear" Twilight said as she started to cuddle up with Rainbow again, and she began to nibble at her ears. Rainbow, feeling totally comfortable around Twilight now, sighed out loud on purpose this time, and relaxed in Twilights hooves which started to slowly rub in circles on her belly. Rainbow was in pure bliss, meaning she must have chosen the right path after all. Oh and "holy buck she's good at this" Rainbow thought to herself.
