The Truth
Finn didn't talk that night, he hadn't shown any signs of emotion when he and Jake left the Fire Kingdom, and he didn't bother eating his dinner, as soon as as they arrived at the Tree House, Finn went up to his room, when Jake tried to get him to come down, Finn ignored him, so Jake let him be, deciding Finn needed to get over FP by himself, and slept on the couch that night.
Finn had been sitting on the side of his bed, staring at the sunset. After he double checked that Jake had gone to sleep, he snuck out on to the roof of the tree house, there he stood up, and with all his might, he hurtled his hat across the field. It didn't get very far, so after he saw it 'drift' to the ground, Finn ploped down and let out a hefty sigh. Flame Princess had moved on, she had 'friend-zoned' him, just like PB. He felt empty inside, thinking of all the fun they had together only made it worse, now she ruled the Fire Kingdom, with 'absolute honesty' she had said, 'no secrets'.
Finn stood up again, he couldn't take it, he missed her so much, he needed her. Finn shed a tiny tear as he remembered the house he built her, their first kiss, their first dungeon crawl, all in vain. Finn kept grieving as the night slowly dragged on, when twilight came, Finn heard the famalier sound of Jake practicing his viola in the living room below him. So as Finn climbed down, his eye's lit up, he knew just what to do. Finn rushed into the living room and grabbed some paper from a box in the corner, Jake was confused. "Hey Finn, what are you up too?" Jake scratched his head as he saw Finn take the paper and with it, a pen. "I am going to be truthful, no more..." His throat gagged. "No more secrets." Finn exited the Tree House as quickly as he had come in. "Man, Finn needs to chillax." Jake muttered as he resumed practicing.
Finn sped to the highest hill he could find, one that was in full view of the horizen. The words poured from his mind to the paper like water does from a waterfall. One hour after another, he wrote, and wrote, and wrote. When he was finished, Finn was out of ink and space to right. This is how I truley feel, Finn thought as he memorized the words on the paper. Whether she likes it or not, this is my closure. Finn hummed as he walked off the Fire Kingdom.
Finn came up to the same to guards he had beaten up before, and asked for entry. "Why should we let you in?" The first guard said. "Ya! You smacked our hams before!" The second guard exclaimed with annoyance. "Listen, that was the past, that was diffrerent, now may I please speak with the new 'King'?" Finn was worried, whatif he couldn't deliver his message? "Ah, alright, as long as thats the truth." The First guard said as he and the other guard opened up the doors to the throne room. Finn walked in, when FP saw him come in, she smiled. "Hey Finn, did you come to hang out?" FP saw that Finn had a diffrerent look about him, he was tired, he had a look of sadness in his eyes. "No, Fp, I came becuase I wanted to see you, you see, I can't stop thinking about you, your my everything." Finn was desparate. "I'm sorry Finn, I just can't date you anymore, I have a kingdom to rule now, I don't have any time for a boyfriend."She sounded like a broken record to Finn, just repeating the same heart-breaking sentence he had heard many times before.
"Well, I came here to show you just how sorry I am, and how much I had liked you." Finn said, his eyes big like a puppys. "Finn, we have been over this..." Fp tried to finish her sentence, but Finn inturupted it with the sound of strings, he had pulled out a guitar. When he began to string chords, FP stopped trying to talk, she wanted to hear what he had to say, or sing, for that matter. "This, is how I feel." Finn said as he got into rythm. The notes sounded uplifting, then depressing, than uplifting again, Finn took a big breathe...
" For you, dear, I'd lose my tongue to talk, no whispers in the dark, dear... For you I would... And if you, dear, found my words were unclear, and my voice, you can't hear, for you I would...Write you a poem, just to let you know. I would write you a poem, my love..." Finn chocked a little, but kept going with the guitar, he paused to take a breathe, while Flame Princess just sat there and stared...
" For you, dear, I'd lose my legs to walk, dear, no footprints in the chalk, dear, for you I would...and it's true dear, that if your demons are near, and your drowning in tears, for you In would...build you a boat, just to keep you afloat. I would build you a boat, my love..." Finn strumed some last chords, and finished with a hopefull smile, buut no such smile came from the Flame Princess.
Authors Notes: I will be making one more chapter for this story. And in all honesty, Earth and Water depressed me, so I get to filter my feelings through this! The song was For You by Passenger, I don't own it. Flamin shipper out!
