Chapter 1

Advent

XxXxXxXxX

Its been a long three years since things have been unsettled between Finn the Human and Flame Princess.

But not a day went by since Finn realized that Flame Princess was his chosen beloved, he did all he could to win her back. And it was many long days, weeks, months and years finally did Flame Princess decide that the teen had been sufficiently punished.

Truthfully, despite all he had done, Flame Princess didn't have it in her to harm the teen that loved her so, she secretly vowed to keep her family and flame denizens from exacting revenge. Maybe she had changed from the captive girl she once was, maybe she had suddenly lost her fiery nature, maybe Finn had finally changed her to good.

Maybe she loved him as much as he loved her.

She would watch him from her humble abode, abandoning the home he and she built and chose another residence, as he sat underneath the tree and waited patiently for her. She hated him for it at first, but she noticed he would be there most days, in the blistering sun, the cold rain, the frigid winter, the silent nights and all sorts of unbearable days.

Some days he wasn't there, she thought he had finally given up, but soon realized he had not completely abandon her. He was off being a hero for the other denizens of Ooo, like her father, she soon mastered the ability to use other points of flames of all origins to keep an eye on him.

Again, she grew angry as he assisted Princess Bubblegum and every other princess, but realized that he helped them with their problems and requests even speaking to them about her. What he should do to forgive her, how he should of have been truthful and such.

Flame Princess was greatly surprised that she was constantly on his mind and dreams, in his words, a small ember of forgiveness blossom before she viciously squashed it. She kept a close eye on him as he did his tasks, many times she wanted to yell out a warning, a whisper of comfort, keep him warm and scream at him for being a jerk.

And hear him say he loves her, just like the first time.

But she calmed down and let the emotion fade, if he did all these things for her, she would pay it no mind, not one heroic gesture, not one vow of his love for her, not one tear he shed for her.

But even as Finn completed and pursued his beliefs, Flame Princess couldn't help but feel rotten inside. Here was the one being on Ooo who wanted her for her and did everything in his power to find a way back into her heart and arms. Soon her isolation from the water elemental became a torture, how she wanted him back, how much she yearned she would just forgive the boy.

She flared out angrily, cursed, hated, blown shit up, set things on fire, made a volcano under the ocean and let that sucker go. But that ember that clung to her unwillingness to forgive clung oh so hard.

Her outbursts were terrible and violent to say the least, Finn tried to enter her home unsuccessfully on multiple occasions but she grew her home so hot that he had to stay away.

He trudged back sadly and she hated the retreating figure then grew to be sad with herself…

Twice Flame King appeared to her, whispering she was evil, she wept and thrown herself on the floor at his words, so taken back by his daughter's actions he quickly vanished. The second was the same and then he kept away.

It had been many months since she left Finn that she had finally reached her lowest point and laid on the floor for three days and three nights, her flames barely alit. Her mind swathed back to her childhood, her imprisonment, her release and her time with Finn, then their fight and her wandering.

Though she was a flame her mind felt like a dark cavern, she walked the long tunnel, seeing nothing, feeling nothing but the clammy depths.

But soon thoughts, emotions, memories, sensations, smells, sounds and all sorts of things flashed through her with each passing step. She didn't know how long she walked but she felt she went phases in different orders: hate, guilt, resignation, self-loathing, listlessness, despair, grief, agony, loss.

But when her eyes had finally opened, she sat up and finally take a good look at herself, the girl she was so accustomed to seeing had become a young woman. She gasped and looked over herself, now you're wondering why she didn't see the changes and attempt to punch holes into the plot, but when you spend you're almost waking hours on someone you love you won't look twice at yourself.

Her red hair was beautifully long and a sheen that not precious metal or gem could hope to match, the gem glowed warmly from her forehead and her vivid amber eyes coupled with its wonderfully long lashes batted at her reflection. She blushed at the sight on how she developed a more womanly shape and instantly thought of Finn's reaction.

She shook her head and tilted her head, a comical love-struck girl way, she peered at herself one more time before rushing to the window and saw Finn sitting under the tree's shadow, sound asleep.

She pursed her lips, the feelings of resentment felt like a lifetime ago and she made her way to the teen. She knelt close, seeing him in person than from the position of a flame did not do the justice she was seeing.

Finn had matured physically much like she had, but she never took account on how much. His blond hair was just as unruly underneath his white bear hat, his face had thinned out leaving less of a boyish face but than of a young man, her eyes wandered his lightly scarred skin, his gorgeous blue eyes hidden under his sleepy eyelids.

She blushed seeing how much Finn had muscled up too, his usual blue shirt now with an open gray vest stretched enough to show his rippling muscles, he had opted for dark blue jeans with it being torn in the knees despite the generous extra paddings and black boots. His forearms were covered in a light bracer with one housing a dagger.

She didn't know how long she spent looking over the human but when his eyes flickered, signaling his awakening she hesitated and sped back to her home. Shocked that she was now shy and embarrassed to be seen by Finn.

"Flame…? Flame Princess!" he started, he sprung to his feet and quickly reached the speeding flame.

"Please wait!"

She was about to open her door and hide herself from the person she wanted the most to see.

Finn panted and was ten paces away, she glanced back at him and quickly turned away, "Why are you running Flame Princess? After all this time…the moment I would see you again…here you are and glob I feel so…"

Finn nervously laughed, his voice had deepen and matured and it just made her want to turn and jump into his arms and kiss him.

Finn waited for her say something but nothing came, worried he took a step and she stiffen out of nerves, he stopped.

"Flame Princess…I know we aren't…together, but would you please tell me, do you still feel something for me? I still love you, but if you don't feel the same, I'll respect your decision…"

She felt her eyes well up, "Finn, I…" she started, but the rest were choked by a sob, she heard him take a step towards her and she motioned him to stop and he did.

"…do you really want to be with me, Finn? We can't touch each other much less comfort one another…sure Flame Shield is there and Cool Cloak can reduce the injury…"

"There is a way for us to get through all that. You said it yourself." He said reassuringly.

She turned and faced him, her eyes brimming with molten tears, her beautiful face contorted with sadness and joy of being with Finn again.

"I can't reach out and kiss you, Finn. I'll kill everyone…I'll be killing you, Finn." she whispered, and opened her door, ready to fling herself on the floor and weep for the love she could never have.

Two arms found themselves around her waist and press her against tender flesh, the smell of smoke filled the air.

"Finn! Let go! I'm hurting you!"

"I don't care, after all this time, all those sunrises and sunsets, all the time wasted when we could have been happy, we spent it apart. I won't let you leave me again Flame Princess, I still love you since we first met. I love you."

She stood there, the words she wanted to hear so desperately from the one person in all of Ooo. She pulled Finn's arms apart and face him, she saw his burnt clothes and singed face.

"Flame Princess." He whispered, her pretty face had become beautiful since he had last seen her. She reached up and let her fingers weaved behind his neck.

And leaned up and kissed him. The kiss was more intense than the last two times they did it, the flame of a thousand suns prickled his tongue and mouth, his teeth felt like it was ready to burst.

If they began to sink down the earth like last time, he didn't notice. If the world burns from the inside out, it didn't bother him.

He was happy Flame Princess had finally forgiven and he wrapped his arms around her fiery form and deepen the kiss, feeling hotter and hotter…

This is not a one shot, be ready for the following chapters, think of this just like my Yuffie and Vincent story, I have to write these chapters out.

Also, it is my support for the pairing especially we see Flame Princess in the next episode again in the following days.

This is going to be a very lemon heavy story, I know I don't write a lot of lemons, truthfully I wish I could but something's just have to come first. For example, I'm gonna have to go back and fix the grammar and the odd segment or two in this chapter.

Ciao,

I am NRG
