For Pearly's 200 Flavorful Prompts challenge on the NextGen Fanatics forum
candle flavor: spiced orange
extra prompts: crusade & ephemeral
pairing: teddyroxanne
She tastes of spiced oranges.
And it's so stupid of him, to put himself out there like that. He knows that it's an ephemeral. It won't last. She's a one-night-stand kinda girl. She doesn't need a man in her life. Not a constant one, like he wants to be. He doesn't need to go on a crusade to try and save her. She's independent and she can do that on her own.
She doesn't need him, dot, dash, period.
But that doesn't stop him from trying. It's a suicide mission and he realizes that.
But he also realizes he needs to try; for, he cannot live without the girl who tastes of spiced oranges.
