It had been a long day for Rainbow Dash. She spent the majority of it training new recruits at the gym, pushing them to their limits. Later, she had a tough boxing match against a male pony, since she didn't qualify to fight in the female bracket due to her larger, more muscular physique. Despite the grueling hours, she never showed any signs of slowing down, her competitive spirit keeping her on edge.

You, on the other hand, had just come home after a long day of your own. The shared home you both lived in was spacious, carefully chosen to accommodate her towering frame. Cooking, however, was still a challenge for you with her size in mind. Still, you managed to whip up a meal that was both tasty and satisfying—though Rainbow would always joke about how “tiny” your kitchen looked compared to her.

As you were setting the table, you heard the door creak open. Rainbow Dash entered, looking like she’d just come from a battlefield. Bandages were wrapped around her cheek and nose, remnants of the fight. Her sport bra and shorts accentuated her muscular build as she tossed her duffel bag aside, the casual attire giving her an effortlessly strong look.

Spotting you across the room, she gave you a tired yet warm smile. “Evenin’, hun,” she said with a playful smirk, her voice filled with affection despite her gruff exterior. "Long day?"

Without waiting for a response, she reached down and effortlessly scooped you up in her massive arms, pulling you close. Her strong embrace was comforting, despite the sweat and exhaustion that lingered on her from the day’s events. You could feel the slight tremor of her muscles, evidence of just how hard she’d pushed herself.

As she leaned in to kiss your forehead, you couldn’t help but smile. Despite her tough exterior, Rainbow always knew how to make you feel safe and cared for. Even after a long, tiring day, it was moments like these that made everything worth it.
