Chapter 14: True Feelings Part II

Cinnamon Bun POV

Finn had hurt Flame Princess deeply with the things he had said to her and I knew that it was still hurting her. I couldn't let this continue, I had to talk to Finn about this. As I got back to the throne room to talk to him I was stopped by the guards.

"And just where do you think you're going."

"I'm here to talk to Finn about the things he said to Flame Princess."

"We all know about the things he said towards Flame Princess. We especially know about his hatred towards you Cinnamon Bun. The last things he needs right now is to see you out of all people. How about you go back to your room and stop acting like you know what's best for him. He doesn't need to hear some dump lecture from you over how you think...

"Enough," said Finn interrupting the conversation. "You don't need to speak for me guards. I can speak for myself and if Cinnamon Bun has something he needs to say then let him. At this point I most likely won't care what he has to say anyway. Let's just get this over with. Follow me into my room Cinnamon Bun so that we may talk in private about what you want to talk about. There's just no point to dragging this on any longer."

The guards bowed their heads respectfully towards Finn and obeyed his orders. I wonder what Finn did to inspire that type of loyalty. As I followed him to his room I wondered why he was all of a sudden willing to talk to me.

"We're here Cinnamon Bun; let it all out over how I hurt Flame Princess. Over how I hurt your beloved girlfriends feelings and shouldn't have behaved that way. Just get it the Nightosphere over with."

"Finn," I said while thinking of what I should tell him. He was just so convinced that I stole Flame Princess from him that I knew I had to be careful with what I said. It was hurting them both to be treating each other this way. I had to set things straight or else things will just get worse.

"It's not long that. I'm not going out with Flame Princess."

All I got from him was a look full of hatred and anger.

"Is this really what you came here for," he yelled. "To screw with me. What do you mean you're not going out with her? You admitted your love for her right in front of me for Globs sake. Are you trying to tell me that I was just hearing things? Are you lying to me so that I'll be all happy happy joy joy while you two are here?"

"No Finn I'm not lying."

"Liar. If you're not going out with her then why are you here. I know you don't need to be here to help me strategize, so don't give me that crap. The only other reason you could possibly be here is to keep an eye on me. So that you can make sure I don't try anything with her again like the last time. That's why your here isn't it. Well you don't have to worry Cinnamon Bun; I'm through with getting my heartbroken. Besides I can't compete with you anyway, so just leave."

"Stop Finn and just hear me out. Stop letting your pain and anger control you like this. This isn't who you are; you're a kind hearted person who cares for other people. You're a Hero Finn with a noble soul. Not this monster so full of negativity."

"Not anymore Cinnamon Bun. That kind hearted fool who was easy to take advantage of is gone. This is the new me and I will not be made a fool of again. So you can just..."

"She loves you not me Finn," I screamed. "She never loved me like that and she never will. To her I'm just the father that her real father wasn't."

"Now I know for sure your lying," he said while slamming his fist down on a nearby drawer. "You and I both know that she said she no longer has any feelings towards me. How do you explain that Cinnamon Bun."

"She does Finn; she was just confused about what she was feeling so soon after everything that has happened. But after you left and she had time to think, she realized that she still loves you."

"Oh come on, what will it take to get you to stop lying to me."

"I keep telling you I'm not lying. Everything I've said is true. You're the one she loves Finn, not me."

"Then explain to me what you meant when you said you loved her and why she right after took your hand and walked up to the throne with you. What did that all mean?"

"I love her as someone to be proud of; watching someone grow from a broken hearted girl to being a benevolent ruler of a Kingdom is what I meant. Not like someone I want to be with."

"HA, so you're trying to say you love her like a daughter, lies. Just as that benevolent ruler part is a complete lie. No benevolent ruler would subjugate an entire kingdom to a fantasy world of total honesty and no secrets. You should know that such a thing will and can never work. People deserve to keep a few secrets and to tell a few lies, because not all secrets and lies are always bad."

"Yes, that was a big mistake she made, but she did good on many other things. She unlike her father actually spent time on the throne listening to what her people had to say and giving them advise or things that could help them."

"And yet the whole time she has been oblivious to the suffering that her people were obviously experiencing under her very first law."

"She was Finn, but when you pointed out those facts she nullified that very law she had believed in for so long after realizing her mistake. She showed us that she truly does care about her people and like anyone else in the world can make mistakes. No bodies perfect, you should know that Finn."

"Indeed I do know that, but what does it matter. Even if you don't love her that way, what prove is there that she really still loves me that way? Our last real experience together was just gut wrenching since she didn't show any sign that she still loved me. Why should I believe that she does?"

"You asked why she took my hand Finn; it was because in that moment she thought she saw in me what she has always seen in you. A person with the Heart of a hero, who even though he can be dump and make mistakes sometimes, he will always get back up and never let anything put him down for long. While I can try to be like that, I can never truly achieve it. I can't do the amazing things you have done Finn. Such as beating like the Lich not once, but twice. You are the one she loves Finn, you just both needed time to mature and get past the things you two did. You both needed time to come to grips with how you really felt. Please Finn, don't hate her for not considering how you would feel at being asked for help so soon after your break up. Just hate me instead for not discouraging her from wanting to go to you for help," I said while practically begging on the floor at this point.

I somewhat expected Finn at this point to throw me out or tell me to leave, but instead he knelt on the floor to make eye contact with me. Looking into his eyes I saw a mixture of sorrow and happiness.

"Let's get up shall we, it's pretty dirty on the floor after all with all these freshly made tears and what not," he said.

At that I laughed and stood up with him. "Are you going to be alright Finn?"

"I will Cinnamon Bun and thank you for everything. I now know what I need to do."

With that he left to go talk to Flame Princess.

"Best of luck Finn."

Finn POV

After hearing everything I had finally realized what a fool I had been. I truly had let my anger and frustration run my life for so long, but not anymore. Now I would go to Flame Princess and truly apologize for everything I did. I had to make things right for once.

As I crashed into her room from running and being in such a hurry, she gasped in complete shock from seeing me come in like that. Quickly she helped me to get up and I could see signs that she had been crying. It was time to put an end to that."

"Flame Princess I have something I need to say to you."

"Before that Finn I have something I want to say and I need to say it right now."

Seeing that whatever it was she wanted to say was really important to her I said ok.

"Finn I'm sorry. I'm sorry for the things I did to you after our break and for the way I treated you. But above all I'm sorry for loosing you. I'm sorry for how things ended between us and I wish that we were still together. I'm sorry that I'm a huge part to why you decided to leave Finn," she said while crying on her knees.

Slowly I lowered myself down to be right in front of her lifted her face so that she could see me. "No Flame Princess, I'm the one who's sorry. I'm sorry for hurting you and almost getting you killed. I'm sorry for trying to fix things so fast and not thinking about the consequences of my actions. It should be me apologizing, not you."

Smiling at me she said. "I suppose we can always agree to disagree with who's more at fault here right."

With that I laughed and hugged her for saying that. She was truly an amazing woman. Then all of a sudden she pushed me down and kissed me. I was shocked that she did that and even more shocked that we weren't falling through the earth like before.

"Flame Princess, why aren't we falling?"

"Because Finn, it was my tremendous power that gave me the ability to do that. That poison didn't just allow me to be able to touch you without fear of hurting you. It also took away the power inside me that made it possible for such a thing to happen, now we never have to fear such a thing again. Guess good things really do come from bad don't they Finn," she said laughing.

"I guess so FP. looking up at her golden eyes I knew this time that nothing would ever separate us again. "I love you so much Flame Princess."

"I love you too Finn. Nothing will ever tear us apart ever again Finn," she said while crying tears of joy.

I cried tears of joy with her now that our hearts had finally been reunited. Next I gave her my own kiss and wrapped my arms around her at the same time. We lied like that for who knows how long, lost in our happiness at finally being together again that we almost didn't hear the alarm telling us that The Goo Monsters had returned.

Looking at each other, we gave ourselves a smile that said we were prepared for anything.

"Are you ready Flame Princess?"

"I'm ready Finn."

"Then let's go kick some Goo Monster butt."

With that we ran out to defend the kingdom and to make sure that we would both come out of this together.

this is what we were all waiting for right. this right here. now we get back to some more action before we settle down again. hope you liked this make up. like always tell me what you thought and make suggestions on what could be next.
