Warlic walked into the potions lab where Vallenncianna was working on a new project.
"What are you up to, love?" he asked, placing his hands on her shoulders.
"Raven wanted me to make this potion for her," she said, not taking her eyes off of her work.
The older mage raised an eyebrow, "What is it?" He wasn't especially trusting of his lover's meddling cousin - though the last time she meddled, they got together...ignoring that thought, he listened for a reply from the orange-haired, pink-eyed mage.
"Dunno, she wouldn't tell me and I don't recognize it," she shrugged against his hands. "Will you move your hands please, it's cutting my mobility?"
"Sorry," he replied and did as she asked. "Where's the recipe?"
"Right here," she nodded to her left. He picked up the parchment, but quickly placed it back on the lab table at her noise of protest. The white haired mage read the recipe, deemed it something he had never seen before, and therefore must be very new, if not experimental.
"I'm almost done making it, just needs another Joy Shard, a pinch of Diamond Dust and some Sweet Palm," she listed slowly as she added the reagents. "Now, I let it rest for an hour."
The hour quickly passed and Vallenncianna got up to pour out one of the two servings of potions.
"What are you doing Valley?" her former mentor asked.
"I promised Raven that I would test it," she replied simply.
Did he mention that he didn't trust Raven all that well?
"Well, then you're breaking your promise," he stated curtly and pulled the vial out of her hand, "I don't trust her."
"I know you don't, but she'd never give me something to hurt me and then ask me to try it - she's not that bad Warlic, she really isn't!" she pleaded.
"You're seventeen, I don't care. I'm breaking your promise for you," he said and downed the potion in a single gulp.
She snorted, grabbed the second serving and swallowed it before the 5,000+ year old mage could protest.
"Tastes like..." she made a thinking face and then finished, "Chocolate covered strawberries..."
The older mage imitated a cat with peanut butter on the roof of its mouth as he contemplated the taste, "Must taste different according to the person. I taste...honey-glazed almond cookies..."
"Like the ones I made last year?"
"Yeah, but there's something a little different to this taste...can't quite put my finger on it..."
She shrugged, "The potion's effects should be setting in soon."
Vallenncianna leaned up against the lab table, waiting patiently for the potion to take its course.
The effects started very subtly, just a hint at a time.
The young mage looked over at her lover, and noticed him a bit more attractive than usual - maybe it was the new flush to his cheeks. He looked a little more attracted to her as well...
After the initial pull, the potion took full hold of its consumers.
A pale hand tangled in orange hair as two sets of lips met, hunger burning in the two lovers' eyes. Warlic pulled Vallenncianna close to him, crushing her body to his, deepening the kiss. Tongues battled for dominance, the mages barely coming up for air. Hands wandered while lips and tongues explored skin.
The Blue Mage picked his love up bridal style and quickly strode to his room while they had enough sanity as to not go at it in the lab where Nythera, Cysero - hell, even Celestia or Twilly - could walk in on them.
Pulling away the kiss for a moment, Warlic fumbled with the door knob and finally just used a spell to get the damn thing open. He pulled it shut with his foot and promptly pressed Vallenncianna up against the wall, a leg between her thighs.
The girl's last thought before she fully succumbed to the lust and madness was:
Oh fuck, I made an aphrodisiac...
