I don't write freeverses much but this prompt for OTP Boot Camp was too perfect

Prompt: into the fire


It's a reckless love

But that's what makes it worth it

It's dangerous and illogical

And you're addicted to the adrenaline

It's what makes you

ticktocktick

like the clock

your mother used to have.

And if she were to look at it now,

the arm with your name

would point to [mortal peril]

not because you got burned

or because you got too close.

Oh, no.

You weren't just playing with fire.

You ran right into it

without a second {thought}

without a moment's hesi…tation

Because, you see, there's this girl.

Yes.

A girl.

She's a dragon of a different color

(emerald eyes and ebony hair and no scales to speak of)

and she'll be the death of you yet

because she may not breathe fire

~but she brings the heat~

and she won't back down without a fight

and a kiss (or two).

So you make her an offer

she can't refuse.

"Let's be reckless together"

Because love is a gamble

and you're all in.

And every dragon tamer knows

that being _reckless_

is the only way to ever win

especially when you love

like you've got nothing to lose.
