This is my first fanfiction ever and my first Emilie Autumn inspired. The only reason I had the courage to write this is because Emilie, Veronica, and Maggot liked what was already written X3 more to come as I have a good list of prompts. It's rather short because I wrote in a notebook then transcribed it but thats how I write so :P
The Fire in Her Heart
It seemed like everyone wanted to pair Emilie up with Veronica and no one would disagree that the two make an obvious pair. But like some things, what's obvious isn't always true.
The firestarter heard the shredding violin and when it ended she stalked onto the stage. This is how it went every night, and every night she wished that one moment, her one moment, would last just a bit longer. The violinist, bow in hand, began a mock duel as instrumentals played in the background. Captain Maggot's heart rate increased in anticipation. The duel finished, ending in the pirate's demise. Emilie starts singing Liar. "…Show you all the beauty you don't even know you hold." 'If only those lyrics were directed at me…without the backhanded meaning' thought Maggie as Emilie pulled her in close by the pearls and other jewelry she had draped around her neck.
The two were so close now the captain could hardly stand it. 'Let tonight be the night. The night when Emmers will kiss me.' Emilie's breath tickled her lips. It wouldn't take much, just a slight movement. But tonight was not that night. Maggot took the practiced cue to turn from Emilie's emerald eyes and the song went on.
The next night was the same or so the captain thought it would be. Something unexpected did happen. After pulling he in the violinist threw up her leg for the prate to catch and catch she did. But that wasn't the only treat. The singer started moving her hips and the captain happily joined, finding a rhythm. It was sure to happen tonight, thought Maggot. But the ever familiar eye communication made the amber eyed girl pout before going back into character. This had to end. And it was going to end tonight.
On the Tour Bus
"Emmers, we need to talk"
"Uh oh. Nothing good ever happens when a convo starts with that Mags…" silence "what is it?"
"Come to my bunk"
Emilie furrowed her eyebrows but followed as asked. Once there, the two climbed into Maggot's bunk and for a while they sat in silence. "You know this talking thing usually involves words" Maggot nodded. Now that she had Emmers in front of her she had lost the nerve to confront her friend. "Mags if you don't have anything to say I wanted to touch up some of the costumes" As Emilie started to get up, Maggie grabed her arm head down so her hair was covering her face which was scrunched in concentration.
"Emmers" she began, voice cracking slightly "why…why do you tease me so during Liar?" Emilie was genuinely confused at her best friend's question. Furrowing her eyebrows and tilting her head to the side she said, "What do you mean Mags?" she sat down on the bed again "How do I tease you?"
"We end up so close and every night I…" her voice was cracking as she fought back tears. 'Damn it! Why am I tearing up?! This isn't that serious' Maggot wiped at her face. Emilie reached out and stroked the side of Maggot's face then held her hand there. "It's okay Mags go on." She moved her thumb against the pirate's cheek. Maggot sniffled then continued in a whisper "Every night I keep hoping you'll kiss me on stage." Emilie smiled and was about to speak when Maggot continued. "I see you and Veronica each night before the Rat Game and get a little jealous because I want…" here she paused. Was she really going to tell her best friend what she wanted. What she really wanted. Emilie took this pause as an opportunity to give Maggot what she thought her fiery friend wanted. She kissed the pirate quick and simple, bringing the red head out of her flurry of thoughts.
Sure Emilie had kissed her before after all that was the way Emmers was, generous with her kisses which Veronica, herself, and the Plague rats were grateful for, but there was something different about this one. Emilie had been hovering millimeters from Maggot's lips while the captain considered what was starting to happen. "Mags" the singer whispered. Maggot lifted her eyebrows to say 'yes'. "That wasn't all you wanted, was it?"
Hope you enjoyed reading. Please review I'd like to know if I'm writing well and interestingly. Next chapter gets some action ;3
