Work Text:
Applejack was doing her normal routine at the farm, it was scorching that day as beads of sweat dripped from her chin. She decided to finish the rest of her chores in just her sports bra, while letting her shirt drape around her neck. She picked fresh apples, trimmed the trees, and cut fresh wood. There was a small flower garden she started in the front of the farm because Rarity said that flowers would look really nice and make everyone in town want to visit her farm. Applejack was a sucker for that girl. She’d only have to mention something once and Applejack would do it for her before she could even finish her sentence.
While examining her new flower garden, she noticed some tulips that were ready to be picked. She picked up a generous bouquet of flowers and ended her routine by going over to Rarity’s boutique to give a little gift. Applejack knocked on her door and Rarity immediately opened it with the biggest smile on her face. She had on glasses that she only wore when she was sewing and Applejack was completely smitten. Adorable. Rarity let in her inside and was now a burst of energy. As she was putting the rest of her things away, she noticed that her girlfriend was hiding something behind her back.
“What are you hiding back there, darling?” Rarity teased as she kept trying to see what Applejack was hiding. Despite her confident tone, Applejack’s face was flushed a beautiful shade of red and her freckles became more prominent. “Some tulips just finished bloomin’ in your garden, so I, uh, picked them for ya”. She mumbled as she rubbed the back of her neck. Rarity was nothing but smiles as she gave her a soft kiss and expected her flowers of the day. This was a part of their routine: Applejack finishing some farm work and bringing Rarity a bouquet of flowers and getting all shy about it. The best part of Rarity’s day if you ask her.
After putting her flowers in a vase, she dragged Applejack to her room and took her dirty clothes so that she could take a shower. Rarity liked washing her work clothes because it made them seem like newlyweds, although she was far too embarrassed to tell her that. While waiting for Applejack to finish up, she started preparing her girlfriend’s lunch for tomorrow. Applejack, that stubborn girl, would just skip lunch all together because she was too engrossed in her work. She took pride in caring for the farm and Rarity admired that about her, but she worried the poor girl would faint in the heat.
Applejack was fresh out of the shower and was wearing one of Rarity’s silk pajama sets. It wasn’t her style at all, but she wore it because it made Rarity smile. Rarity ushered her over to her vanity so that she could blow dry her hair and put all of her expensive haircare products in it. Applejack’s a hard-worker and hard-workers need a good haircare routine. Rarity carefully ran the products through her hair and finished up by putting her hair into two french braids.
Rarity often showed her affection for Applejack by doing things for her. She would make her lunch, dry her hair, apply her skincare, wash her work uniform, and pamper her by giving her a spa day after a long day of work. At first, Applejack was against it because she thought that she was too “boyish” to be pampered and felt embarrassed by how much she liked it. Rarity, of course, continued to do this for her and rewarded her with a pepper of kisses. A kiss is really all she wants. After doing this for her regularly, Applejack started looking forward to their self-care days and appreciated how gentle Rarity is with her.
While Rarity was putting her hair in her heatless curls, Applejack gazed at her like she hung all the stars in the sky. Whenever Rarity would catch her staring she got so shy and attempted to focus on what she was doing. After a couple of minutes of Rarity staring at herself in the mirror, admiring her beauty, she climbed into bed with Applejack. Applejack liked being the big spoon because she could press her face into her girlfriend’s neck and suck in her smell. Rarity always smelled nice, especially after a long bath. Her skin was so soft and she looked so pretty in her arms. Rarity liked to run her nails along Applejack’s strong arms and tell her how beautiful she is every night. She always held her face and gave her soft, lingering kisses on her freckles before she drifted to sleep. Applejack would stay up for a few extra minutes to watch her girlfriend in awe and whisper how much loves her, praying she doesn’t wake her up. Later in life, Applejack wants to build a home. A home just for them and to experience this bliss everyday.
