A/N: Welcome to my first ever, Flame Princess/Finn fanfic. I will be writing more to this, but also adding more couples into the story, where they will eventually all mix together. I hope you enjoy this story; all I own is the plot. –MOTH (Maiden of the Heavens)

Excruciating

She swore under her breath and continued to run. How could she think this was a good idea? But she missed him so much; it was an ache deep in her chest that only he could stop hurting. She whimpered in pain as another drop fell from the sky, and made her skin sizzle, like water hitting a hot frying pan. Another whimper broke from her lips, and finally she couldn't take it anymore and a cry of agony burst past her lips.

She couldn't run anymore, the stupid rain was literally killing her. But his house was in her sights, his wonderfully weird tree house. In a final attempt to save herself from her own stupidity, she cried out his name.

"FINN!" The scream of his name was filled with so much desperation, she was afraid he would think that she was stupid for attempting to see him when the weather was against them. As she sank to her knees, she saw him running toward her, carrying something with him. It flapped around him in the howling wind like wings. For once, the hero wasn't wearing his white hat and his blonde hair whipped around his face, and his ocean-blue eyes were gleamed with worry and fear, tears pooling at the end of them. Before she could protest, he peeled off his raincoat and wrapped it around her before practically carrying her inside.

Flame Princess smiled weakly, she really did like his house. It was warm and cozy, and she could smell something cooking that made her stomach growl rather loudly. The stomach growl made Finn laugh, and cause her to blush and her dying flames to brighten.

"What in the glob were you doing outside?" He asked as he took away his now soaked rain coat and instead handed a rather heavy, made just for her, fire proof blanket.

Flame Princess could feel her fire growing hotter as she continued to blush. "I wanted to see you, honey…I-I missed you a lot…so much that it hurt here…" She explained while touching the place where her heart was.

Finn smiled and kissed her on the cheek, she could see to her own sadness that he was trying his best not to wince in pain. Why did they always have to end up hurting each other? Before she could stop herself, she placed both her hands on Finn's cheeks and then kissed him on the mouth. She could feel his tears making her fingers hiss as she did, when she finally let go of him. He had handprint burns on his cheeks, and blisters on his lips.

"Oh…Honey…"She whimpered, feeling lava beginning to pool at the edges of her own eyes. "I just wanted to thank you somehow."

Finn smiled painfully, as the blisters on his mouth cracked open. "It's fine, FP…"

It was a couple of hours later that they sat in front of the fireplace eating their dinner. Flame Princess nibbled on her meal of charcoal, while Finn slowly ate his pancakes. She still felt awful for causing him pain, and lava slipped past her cheeks, and onto the floor, causing scorch marks to form on the wood. She washed as Finn popped a piece of ice into his mouth, to try to heal his blistered lips. She couldn't take it, without letting her brain gain a rational thought, she placed her hand on top of his, and kissed him where the ice cube was popping out from his lips. Lava streamed from her cheeks rapidly, as the ice cube melted and she could feel Finn starting too…what was the term again? French her? Tongue-wrestle with her? Glob and she could always feel his tears beginning to make her hands sting. But kissing him felt good, kissing like this felt so right.

But why did it have to be so painful for the both of them? She watched with orange and yellow burning eyes as Finn pulled away and smiled at her, with a blush running up his entire face.

"Oh…Honey…" She whispered, but found Finn only hugging her close, not caring that his shirt was starting to burn up.

She tried to push him away but Finn, only hugged her tighter, with lava streaming from her eyes and down her face, she sobbed out desperately. "FINN, STOP! I'M HURTING YOU, STOP! LET GO, PLEASE! I DON'T WANT TO KILL YOU! FINN, LET GO!"

But to her own agony he didn't, not until his shirt was completely burned away and his shorts were nearly gone as well, and his shoes were melted to the floor. She could feel rage burning up within her, how could be so stupid?

"FINN…WHY WOULD DO SOMETHING SO IDIOTIC?" She screamed out the demand, wanting an answer.

The hero only blushed and grinned like a person on a sugar-high. "'Cause FP…I wanted to hold you…I-I love you…a whole lot…"

Flame Princess found herself to stunned to speak, he loved her…but they had barely been dating a year, and she kept hurting him and causing him so pain, how could he love her? Her flames had dimmed to a dying-fireplace like glow as she struggled to understand. How could this be possible?

She looked up at the hero, as Finn gripped her hands in his own, as their fingered entwined. "Y-You love me?"

Finn nodded and smiled. "A whole lot, FP…"

"I-I love you too, Honey…" She whispered and felt her flames almost burst into full fire as he kissed her with an ice cube once again held between his lips. With tears of lava streaming down, and the water from her boyfriend's own making her skin sizzle, she couldn't help but think that love was not supposed to cause this much pain to either of them…
