Hello there and welcome to my humble little drabbley collection! It'll primarily be focused on Rin, Yukio, and Shiemi, most likely. Some romance, some not, but of course there'll be other characters here and there. All will be between 100 and 999 words so this is towards the shorter side. This is also my first shot at writing for this lovely fandom, so I'm excited and I hope I don't butcher these characters too badly. XD

Anyway, I hope you enjoy! :D

~His flames were nothing to fear.~

Touched by Fire

His flames were warm. A kind of warm that felt like a blanket on a cold day, or a pair of arms wrapped around her tight when she needed them most. As they'd cleaned the classroom of its Coal Tar infestation and the little demons had swarmed around her, she'd felt a fear and panic unlike any other engulf her as she saw those blue flames hurtling her way.

She'd been taught to fear those flames. Or perhaps she'd always feared them. But the feeling had been unexpected. It was quiet inside of them, and as she hazarded a peek through her eyelashes, it felt as if she was in a different world. A world engulfed in this fire that belonged to another dimension. Everything was muted, but comfortable, and reminiscent of him.

As the flames died and he was escorted out of the room, she couldn't help the small fall of her heart. A fall that meant two things: one, she knew somehow those blue flames wouldn't scare her anymore, and the fear she lived in would subside, which made her heart fall in a sort of relief. And two, it dropped in a slight pang of disappointment. Because those flames… it was the only time she'd felt truly close to him.

And she'd never forget that warmth, the quiet, or the flickering blue that danced in front of her eyes. Because those flames were his; they were him, and they were now somehow something she knew she would hold dear.
