Ice Cream Indulgence

 

“Sorry, Rainbow Dash. The clouds...its so hot that they evaporate before we can get them into place. There's no way we can keep up with the heat.”

 

Rainbow Dash crossed her forelegs. “We have to try! The ponies down there are desperate for a break. Look at the lake! Look at the wells! They can't keep cool at all.”

 

“Maybe if somepony didn't pop our extra clouds trying to beat her latest speed record, we'd have enough clouds for the town...”

 

“WHO SAID THAT?” Rainbow Dash called out. “I HEARD THAT AND IF I FIND OUT WHO SAID IT I SWEAR....”

 

As Rainbow Dash continued her shouting, the ponies below were still stuck dealing with the heat. Two stallions in particular were flopped on the floor of blistering hot home. The air was thick and heavy. Every breath seemed like a desperate struggle as they lay helpless on the ground. “S-Sorry, Winter...You must be dying in this heat.” The gray stallion with dull golden locks managed to wheeze out.

 

“H-Hey....you didn't know there was a heat wave on the way....or that your air conditioner was gonna break, Blitz” Winterlight huffed. He wiped a hoof through his brown mane and groaned. “Still...there has to be something we can do while we wait for the repair crew to get here.”

 

“Hmmm....Rumor has it the lake is overcrowded right now. No sense in trying to cool off that way. There has to be somewhere else cold.” Blitz Tale struggled to sit up and stare out his window. He stared with a blank expression through the glass as his eyes glazed over. “Wait....oh gosh, I'm so dumb. They built an ice cream shop right across my house! We can go wait it out there in the chill of a shop guaranteed to be cold!”

 

“Ehh...Maybe one scoop. You know I'm not too keen on sweets.” Winter protested. “Besides, we'll have to go outside and we'll get roasted alive if we do that. Best to just stay here.”

 

“Winter, if it's not too warm for you to keep that red scarf around your neck, it wont be too hot to take a five second trip across the street. Come on you lazy butt.” Blitz nudged Winter with a hoof.

 

“Okaaaay but just one scoop. You eat all you want. I'll sit back and enjoy the cold air while you stuff yourself, chunko.”

 

Blitz couldn't help but blush. “H-Hey, you're just as big as I am, dough butt. Don't you dare accuse me of being big like you aren't.” Winter and Blitz giggled as they left his home. “Oh gosh, it really IS ten degrees hotter out here. Winter, RUN!”

 

The door to the ice cream shop swung open as the two sweaty, red faced stallions jumped inside. “Ahhh....much better” Winterlight moaned as he pressed his face against the cool tile floor.

 

“Customers! Perfect timing! Come in, come in. Can I interest you lads in all the ice cream you could ever eat?”

 

Blitz Tale looked up. A mare with a mint green coat and light brown hair smiled down at him. “All we could ever eat? What's the catch?”

 

“Oops, silly me. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mint Chip and this is my store. I was all set to open my store with a bang and with such perfect timing with this heat wave, huh?

 

Well, seems things weren't up to snuff with the freezers when I decided to open. No matter how many ponies try to fix the freezers, they keep breaking down! Nopony really wants to eat half melted ice cream during a heat wave, right?”

 

“Aww, it's all melted? All of it?” Blitz Tale groaned.

 

“Not quite all of it. I ordered a batch of flavors today hoping my freezers would cooperate with me but no luck. It's still mostly cold but it wont be for long so I suppose this is where the eat all you can part offer comes up. For an absurd price of five bits per pony, I'll let you two eat as much ice cream as you can. Better than it being ruined, right?”

 

Blitz Tale looked over at Winter with a huge grin. “Yoooo this is the best day ever! Sign us up!” Blitz slammed ten bits on the counter and rushed over to various tubs. “So how do you wanna do this? Should I just load up all I want?”

 

“Blitz! Don't get carried away! I said one scoop, remember?”

 

“...and a scoop of this...and whatever that is...ooo, some of that too....hey do we get toppings and all that junk too? Mix in some gummy bears, overload it with caramel glaze and chunks of candy!” Blitz licked his lips as a monstrous bowl of ice cream was carefully placed into his hooves.

 

Winterlight sighed. “Miss? Can I get a small scoop of vanilla with cookies in it?” His eyes bugged out as a hefty scoop of ice cream was placed before him. It almost took up the entire bowl! “T-Thanks...”

 

Blitz waved over from his table. “Mmm, what did you get? Looks good!” Blitz called out. “Man, look at all this. It'll be a miracle if I even finish it.” He shoved his muzzle into the massive tower of ice cream and moaned as the chilled cream slid down his throat. “Oh yea...that's MUCH better.”

 

“I can't believe you ordered that much. At least use a spoon, you piggy.” Winter teased as he took a small bite of his ice cream.

 

“Meh. Only ponies here are you and the owner and I bet she's more worried about her store than my table manners.” Blitz resumed his munching and slurping. “Man, I'm such a dummy for not remembering this place sooner. I told myself every day I should come here after work for a treat and I just never did.”

 

“Probably better for you in the long run. If Mint's freezers were broken, you really WOULD be the size of a piggy with how you're eating.” Winter chuckled. “You know you have ice cream all over your muzzle, right?”

 

“Hey Winter, you know you DON'T have ice cream all over your muzzle?” Blitz smirked for a moment before grabbing Winter's bowl of ice cream and shoving it in his face.

 

“H-Hey! Blitz, you goof!” The two stallions giggled at their table. Without the oppression of the heat, they were finally having a good time.

 

“So, any particular reason you two decided to crash into my little shop?” Mint asked as she walked up to their table. Another generous serving of ice cream was ready for both stallions. Mint slid the giant bowls onto the table and smiled.

 

“Air conditioning is busted in my house. Thought we could cool off in here for a bit.” Blitz spoke between massive bites of his current bowl.

 

“It's the dang heat wave, I tell ya! Everypony had their A/C chugging day and night and its frying the circuits or something. Well, you boys are welcome to stay and eat as much as you want. A promise is a promise.”

 

“B-But...” Winterlight tried to protest as Mint returned to the register. “I only wanted one scoop!”

 

“Hey, don't worry about it. If you don't want it, don't eat it. It only cost me five bits for you to eat all you want. If all you want is one scoop, then that's fine.” Blitz smiled at his friend. “You're not gonna disappoint me or anything.”

 

“I guess....” Winter slowly ate the rest of his initial scoop while Blitz slid over the second massive sundae. “...Is it really that good?”

 

“It's a bit melted....but it's still really cold and the toppings really make it great.” Blitz responded. “You want a bit of mine? Go for it. I KNOW I wont finish this one...”

 

Winterlight shrugged. “Why not? Can't hurt I guess.” He grabbed a rather big spoonful of ice cream and gobbled it up. “Hmm...not bad, but I think I'll just stick to mine, thanks.”

 

“Oh well. More for me.” Blitz grinned before returning his muzzle to the soft, melted ice cream. He swallowed it down like it was water. “Mmmm....ya know, eating it like this is pretty good. No brain freeze or anything.”

 

“Brain freeze might be a good thing for you...You're gonna get stuck in this booth if you keep eating like that.” Winterlight warned.

 

“It's okay. I've got a very close friend that wouldn't mind helping me get home and rubbing my belly, right?” Blitz winked at his friend, causing a tiny blush to form on the brown stallion's face. “Aha, it's so true. Your face is getting so red!”

 

“H-Hey!” Winter looked away from his friend. “S-So? You know I would always help you out no matter what...so...so what if a belly rub or two happened?”

 

“Oooh, more than one?” Blitz leaned back and began patting his tummy. It certainly was rounder and bigger than before. Every pat and jiggle made his gut slosh. “The reward for all my eating like a piggy is affection from my bestest buddy? Hey Mint? Can I get another bowl?”

 

“A-Another? Blitz, please!” Winterlight huffed. “You're going to get us kicked out!” He whispered.

 

“Nah, we'll be good. At least I know I'll be good cause I'm gonna get sooooo many belly rubs once we head back to my house. I just might be too winded from eating to return the favor...unless....”

 

“U-U-Unless what?” Winter's whole face was glowing red.

 

“Well, you'll need a nice, big tummy like mine if you plan on getting any belly rubs.” Blitz winked before returning to his massive serving of ice cream. “I mean, no pressure or anything....but I suuuure would be nice to rub your big, cute belly for a while...”

 

Winter bit his lip. It sounded wonderful. The idea of his bestest buddy being so soft and cuddly and offering him such intimate affection had his heart racing. Slowly, Winter pushed his spoon into the second scoop of vanilla ice cream and began to eat.

 

“So, what's it like back home? You haven't mentioned your friends for a while. Are they okay?” Blitz asked.

 

“Oh, they are fine. Just nothing to talk about, really.”

 

“Oh come on.” Blitz insisted. “There has to be SOMETHING you can say.”

 

Light sat silent for a moment. “Oh...there was this one thing...”

 

“Well spill it. I wanna hear some good gossip!” Blitz smiled as Winterlight began to chat. His talkative friend didn't quite notice how fast he was scooping his ice cream and soon enough, the entire bowl was empty.

 

Mint Chip was quick on the draw. Another bowl was sitting in front of Winterlight without the pegasus even realizing it. The day slowly dragged on as the two stallions ate and ate while chatting away like little colts.

 

“Uhhhgggg....full....” Winterlight groaned. His stomach was so tight and full. It pressed hard against the softness of Blitz's sloshy, flabby gut under the table. “Whyyyyy did I let you talk me into eating so much?”

 

“Cause you love it, too. Just not where anypony can see you being a big piggy yourself.” Blitz tried to smirk back but an ache in his swollen gut stopped his snarky reply. “Bleh....ate too much...again.”

 

“Blitz...can we please just go back to your place? I....I need to rest off all this ice cream....” Winterlight huffed as he slowly wiggled and jiggled himself out of the booth. “Come on, you big fat blimpy boy. I promised some belly rubs, didn't I?”

 

Blitz Tale eased himself up onto his hooves and groaned. “So did I. Lets go before Mint offers us more.” Blitz and Winter waddled as fast as they could in the intense summer heat. Blitz sighed in relief as he opened the door to his home and a gust of cool air blasted his hair back. “Yessss cold air! Go go go!”

 

The two stallions slumped down on the couch and sighed. Winterlight began to blush as he inched himself closer and closer to Blitz until their bellies were touching once more. “This...umm...might be a bit awkward...” He reached out with both his hooves and his wings, slowly rubbing circles into the soft, gray belly next to him.

 

“Ooooohhhhh....goodness....” Blitz couldn't hid his blush. “That....feels....wonderful.” He sighed as the tension in his belly instantly faded. The faint sounds of his belly sloshing about were the only noises in the room as Winterlight continued to rub and tease the wobbling belly next to him.

 

“Mmmmmm no fair. Let me help you, too.” Blitz did what he could to help out Winterlight as well. His reach was minuscule compared to Winter's wings but he tried his best. Each stallion gave it their all, rubbing and squishing the tummy opposite from them as best they could. Soon enough, Blitz and Winter were yawning from the sugar crash of so much ice cream.

 

Winter slumped himself against Blitz and smiled. “Sorry...Blitzy....I...I'm tired....”

 

“Me too....don't worry about it....just rest as long as you want.” Blitz wrapped a foreleg around his buddy and was rewarded with the gentle embrace of a feathery wing. Slowly, the two fatties fell asleep, cuddled up nice and snug next to each other on the couch. Winter and Blitz smiled in their sleep knowing a soft, cuddly friend was just a hoof away.
