Heyyyy! Well I decided that this pairing needs some recognition on FanFiction because I looked them up and there are NONE ABOUT THEM! *LE GASP* Innexcuseable! So this is my first adventure time fic and I hope it doesn't suck too much ~ again read, review, and enjoy ;)
"You would defy nature for me?" Flame Princess asked in awe. I gulped and nodded. She hugged me and her arms scorched my back through my shirt. I yelped and jumped back, she looked down at her feet somberly while a few flame tears fell from her saddened eyes. "Bye Finn." She made a hasty retreat back to the fire kingdom; leaving only a trail of small flames in her wake. Once Jake and I made it home we took out the medical kit and applied burn cream to my back. I flinched when Jake rubbed too hard on the sensitive skin.
"Dude she burned you hard! But I can't say I didn't warn you."
"I know man. But weirdly, it doesn't bother me."
"Are you kidding me? She gave you third degree burns man! How are you ok with that?" Jake was dumbfounded. He just didn't understand.
"I know. And it's because it's who she is, and I accept that. And I know it's really weird, but knowing it was her and not some crazy evil junk it doesn't seem as bad."
"But she is evil!" Jake protested. I shook my head simply. I knew he thought FP was bad just because of what happened at her castle but I knew the truth. She was just an innocent kid like me, she's fragile and all she wanted was someone to love. Jake sighed in defeat. It had been a long day of dousing out fires and saving goblin people so he was too tired to argue. I followed him up the steps and slipped into my Eskimo bag, closing my eyes to go to sleep.
But I wasn't tired. Not in the least. And all I could think about was her; her flaming hair, her orange-ish cheeks that glow brightly, and her eyes that can show the simplest emotions or a thousand things at once. Growling in frustration, I slipped out of bed, Eskimo sack still around me, and caterpillar slunk up the steps to the roof where I snuggled deep within the bag to avoid being frozen by the icy wind blowing from the ice kingdom. I stared up at the stars and tried to sort out my brain. What FP had said earlier was still bugging me. "We cannot be together. I am a fire elemental, you are a water elemental." That didn't mean anything! Just because I'm some water elemental doesn't mean I can't be with her! But at the same time I knew she was right. I didn't want to end up hurting her like I had before. Images of Flame Princess in pain from my actions flashed through my mind and caused me to cringe. A few tears trickled down my burnt face. "FP was right." I said in defeat as more tears rolled down my face. If I kept crying all the time like this we could never be together.
This needed to stop now. I slunk back down the steps quickly and hopped back into bed, and then an idea slapped me in the face. It was perfect! I smiled to myself as it started to take shape in my head; tomorrow I would set my plan into action. And I would make Flame Princess understand how much I loved her and most of all, that nature could be defied.
. . .
"Well what do you want to know about the fire kingdom?" Marceline asked me as she floated in mid air; tuning her axe as she waited for my response.
"I want to know how you lasted in there." She sighed.
"I'm a vampire Finn, I can last through almost anything."
"Troll Farts!" I mumbled under my breath.
"Why the heck do you even wanna go to the fire kingdom?"
"Uh you know just to kick some evil butt!" I said quickly. "Cuz' you know….there isn't a lot of evil around here anymore." Marceline wasn't convinced in the least.
"The Ice King is still being a pedo. That counts as evil." She pointed out.
"Yah well I kick his tail all the time! I need something new." Then something clicked in Marcy's brain and she flew right up in my face, smirking devilishly.
"This wouldn't have anything to do with Flame Princess, would it?" I stumbled backwards, I could feel my face glowing bright red.
"What pfft! Naw man I just wanna slice some fire evil, I don't like her at all!" Marceline's smirk grew wider.
"I never said anything about liking her." I ran straight out of the house and the cave as Marceline cackled evilly.
(POV CHANGE: Narrator)
Marceline floated around the land of Ooo lost in thought, black umbrella held above her head to protect her. She remembered seeing Flame Princess at her baby shower; Flame King had asked her to play her bass in honor of the newborn. Whenever someone came near her she would send fireballs at them. She had been a violent baby and Marceline was sure she'd turn out evil. But if Finn liked her how could she be evil? Finn absolutely hated everything evil. After awhile of floating around she saw that she was above the candy kingdom, that's when she got an evil idea.
Soaring down through the clouds she landed in front of the cookie dough door and knocked. A cheerful Princess Bubblegum answered moments later.
"Who is i—" She stopped midsentence and he smile morphed into a frown. "Hey Marceline,"
"Hello Bonnibel, I wanted to talk to you about something." The vampire queen slipped past PB before she could protest. She found her way into a sitting room and floated lazily a foot or two above a plush couch while the candy princess sat primly in a high backed pink chair.
"So what is it you wanted to talk to me about?" Marceline contained her evil smirk as she replied.
"Finn,"
"Yes what about him?" She sounded as though she had more important things to do.
"It seems he's gotten a little crush on Flame Princess." A look of shock found its way onto Princess Bubblegum's face but she quickly swatted it off, but Marceline had already seen it. The pink princess remembered seeing Flame Princess once when she'd accompanied her father to The Grand Meeting of Ooo Royalty. She was a quiet girl who seemed very curious; she had several times tried to touch the bouquets of flowers at the center of the table but her father swatted her hand away. At the time PB felt sorry for the girl; there were so many things that she could not experience since she was kept in the fire kingdom and away from the rest of Ooo.
Although PB kept herself as composed as possible a little jealousy was seeping through her mask. Marceline saw this and was positively gleeful.
"Yeah so?"
"Oh nothing, just thought you'd be interested. Well see ya around Bonnibel." She reveled in the other girl's growl of annoyance as she floated swiftly out of a window. Princess Bubblegum sat there for awhile feeling very confused. She never ever felt confused which made things even more confusing for her. There were so many emotions running through her that she didn't know what to think. She was grateful that Finn had forgotten about his crush on her, she felt lonely about that too. She felt curious as to what Finn saw in the younger girl; she wasn't overly intelligent, she wasn't absolutely gorgeous, she was just an ordinary average girl. But the strongest emotion she felt came crashing down on her like a tidal wave; jealousy.
Well there you have it ladies and gents. Hope I did the pairing justice and I hope that you guys like it so far ^_^ Have a magical day everyone!
~Em-chan!
