Ember Kisses

"Fionna!"

Fionna turned around at the sound of her name, and the first thing she saw was a familiar wall of fire racing towards her. "Flame Prince!" she called out in greeting. A large smile was plastered to the fire elemental's face as he skidded to a halt in front of the adventuress.

"Flambé taught me something smokin' today!" FP exclaimed excitedly, jumping slightly. "What'd she teach you?" Fionna asked, crossing her arms over her head. "Okay, okay, be still," FP instructed. "And don't be afraid." Naturally, hearing these words Fionna became slightly afraid. "Uh, okay?" she said unsurely.

FP stepped closer to Fionna, and she could feel the heat radiating off of him. "Close your eyes," he instructed softly. Fionna obeyed, closing her eyes. "Now, keep 'em closed until I say so."

FB took a deep breath before he started murmuring strange words that Fionna couldn't understand. His hands gripped her wrists and she sucked in a sharp breath as her delicate skin burnt under the heat of his fingers. It suddenly felt as if someone had cracked an egg over her head. A strange cooling sensation ran through her body and her wrists stopped burning.

A warm pair of lips pressed against hers and she opened her eyes in shock. FP was kissing her. Kissing her! And it didn't hurt! She smiled against his mouth. She would have time to ask him why he wasn't burning her later. It wasn't important right now.

Right now, all that was important was the boy in front of her; the boy she thought nature would never allow her to have; the boy she loved, though the world as bent on keeping them apart.
