Finn was tucked in his bed trying to get some sleep... or he would be if he could clear his mind of the Flame princess and what happened later that night...
FLASHBACK
"You are a water elemental" FP said as Finn slowly got back up wiping the tears off his face.
"W-what?" Finn looked at her in confusion as she continued with confidence as if she had figured out a great mystery.
"You are my opposite, you create water!" FP pointed at her eyes to emphasise her point "you cry and cry all the time!"
"W-wait t-thats not-" Finn tried to interject but FP continued "it is! that's your power!" at this point she even looked amazed that something like that could happen but finn had to stop her before she got the wrong idea about him.
"No no no no no no" he waved his arms trying to stop whatever she had decided was true but she pressed on before he could elaborate "Finn we cant be together, we are only going to hurt each other" FP looked hurt and Finn's heart clenched at the sight "No, i can take it!" he stated boldly as she looked back up at him "I-i mean... cant we try?" FP looked into his eyes, the sheer determination and care they showed stopped any retort she could come up with.
"You would defy nature for me?" She took a step closer to him her arms slightly raised "Um... yeah... whatevs" Finn slowly put his arms around her as she did the same.
Then if only for a moment everything stopped, the fires and the city disappeared leaving only them, only them sharing a hug they didn't know they needed.
Finn was no stranger to hugs, he and Jake had moments where they needed reassurance, but this was the first time he felt something like this. it was warm, very warm, but it was also kind and loving as if FP thought he would break if she was too rough with him, as their hold got stronger reality started to return and with it came a sizzling sound, the smell of something burning and terrible pain across his arms and body.
Letting go of each other Finn stepped back and took a deep breath as he tried to stop screams of pain to escape from his mouth. FP looked regretful most likely blaming herself for hurting him but before he could say anything she simply looked at him straight in the eye and said "Goodbye finn".
FLASHBACK END
The next morning Finn woke up earlier than normal, even more considering how late it was at the time he went to sleep, but he had no time to waste. Quickly jumping out of bed and putting on a blue t-shirt and blue shorts he grabbed a premade adventure bag as he liked to call them, jumping down the stairs even Jake seemed surprised at the energy of his bro.
"Hey man, something happened?" Said Jake taking another sip of coffee while he prepared some bacon pancakes for breakfast.
"U-uh no but... i cant wait to go out and adventure you know?" Finn said as he tried to not look desperate to get out the house.
"He he he i bet it has something to do with that fire lady you meet yesterday" Jake looked even more smug as Finn turn completely red.
"W-what? how did you know!?" He asked but Jake simply laughed as he placed to plates filled with pancakes on the table.
"You're my bro Finn, did you think i wouldn't notice your "i love you" eyes you were giving the Flame princess?" Said Jake before he shoved a forkful of pancake in his mouth, Finn sighed and took a seat next to Jake.
"Did i... really look like that?" Jake made some affirmation noises while he chewed his food.
"Yea man, but don't worry!" He winked at Finn "I dont think she minded at all!" Finn tried to look angry at Jake but couldn't hide the lovestruck smile that came to his face after hearing that.
"I have to find her jake, i know it may be too soon to tell but i really think she is the one for me..." Beads of sweat ran down Finn's forehead as he felt a little hotter from all the embarrassment of saying such things.
Jake finished his pancakes, eating even the crumbs left in the plate "Dont worry, you don't have to butter me up" He gave Finn a thumbs up and a wide grin "We'll go find your lady, man!"
Finn immediately pulled Jake into a bone crushing hug "Thank you! thank you so much Jake! lets go right now!" He carried Jake halfway through the room before Jake stopped him.
"No way man! we are not going anywhere before you finish your breakfast!" Jake grew in size and placed Finn back into his seat "Remember what happened the last time you went adventuring with an empty stomach because you were too excited?"
Finn sighed and picked up his fork as he remembered how they had to cut a dungeon short because he collapsed in the middle of a fight but even then he refused to let this setback affect his mood. He and jake would go searching for FP and he would make things right this time... and who knows, maybe she would like to go adventuring with them!.
AN: So this is an idea i had where things go better for Finn and Flame princess as a couple, not sure how i'm going to make this work so... don't get your hopes up, its the first story i have ever published so try not to hate it to much.
More soon!
