Prompt:Edge's ninja magic is a mystery to Rydia. She wants to learn about it, and learns something about Edge in the process. Would love to see them learning to make their magics work together!

Summary:Liberties taken with the "learning something about Edge" prompt. In this fic, Rydia becomes intimately familiar with his magic. I've assigned them each an element which I will leave for you to discover.

Warnings:Um? Suggestive language…and sex.

Powers of Attraction

She watches him often, how he deftly moves his fingers. It's a language only he knows, and his fingers play the air like a musician plays an instrument. The focus on his face, etched into the crease of his brow, lets her know he is summoning power from deep within. She feels his magic crackling on the air, feels her spirit pulled toward it like a sapling to the sun.

She closes her eyes, tantalized by the feel of it. She stands close to him in battle, hoping to get drunk on the sweet taste of it as her own magic sings in response. His is wild magic, woven into every fiber of his being, through every pore. He will never channel the sheer vastness of power as she, but the rawness of it, the stripped down elegance of its simplicity, to her, is like the best kind of art.

What she does with words, he does with his body, and she longs to join him in the dance.

It is with some cajoling and soft words that she finally does. Her body arches into his, lips savoring kisses, fingers tangled in hair—skin against skin. This close, she feels the overwhelming, almost suffocating, presence of his magic—magic set free by torrents of passion. She feels it with every inhalation, kindling her nerves, and as they join, she is consumed by it. His magic is like lightning, fire refined and tempered, then let loose, and she channels it from head to foot like a tree struck during a storm.

They separate at dawn, but his magic lingers in her veins like light kisses on skin long after they've gone. She smiles with satisfaction, static clinging to her hair, and at least for the day, his magic remains twined with hers.

A/N: This is VERY different from what I usually write. SHOCK ALL AROUND. Written for first_seventhe for the FF-Exchange comm.

Could be set post-game or close to end-of-game.

Thanks to Valk for suggesting I get in on the exchange and post this here :)
