This is a bribe for silentsteel, based on her world of Bass-chan stuff, so that she will, indeed, write more of it.



Despite the violence of the Volcano's heart, Blaze was surprised at how peaceful she felt. Watching molten rock slowly flow down the walls let her fade away and distract from the violence that warred inside her. Rather than constantly trying to reconcile her Hunter and Maverick sides...the almost overwhelming hate that had been so natural, yet so disgusting...a unique and very personal Hell.

Unsurprisingly, the touch on her shoulder was a total surprise, even though she knew who it was even as she drew her sword and pressed the flaming blade to his neck.

"Damn you! Make more noise!"
"....eep. Sorry, hon."

Blaze sighed and homed the blade in its sheath, closing her eyes as she drew a long breath. Find the center. Relax. Push the violent urge back...

Heat gently laid his hands on hers, and caressed softly. "It was my fault. I wasn't thinking."

A soft smile. "You always take the blame."
"You don't need it. Besides, it looks good with my outfit." A grin and a kiss on the cheek.
A laugh and hug. "You're crazy, you know that?"
"Maybe. It does run in the family. But I love you." A returned hug and closed eyes.
"You do. I still don't understand that, some ways. But...I love you, too." Trust.
"Who needs to understand? It works."
Another laugh. A smile. A not so innocent stroke on the back. "You always say that, too. Crazy little robot master."
A returned stroke, with a slow caress. "Well, yes, but it puts me at the perfect height for so much!"
A snort, and wings enfold the lovers as they slide down to the warm rock. "You did learn a lot very quickly."
"You were a great reason to learn. Besides, I found all those mountain climbing jokes."
"A mountain? Is that what I am?" A teasing grin...
The grin returned... "No, no. A volcano like this one. Filled with passions, and quite impressive when you erupt from pleasure. And some absolutely incredible slopes."

Azure eyes cloud slightly... "My lava burns pretty badly, sometimes."
"You of all people know how fireproof I am." A head tilted down. A kiss of reassurance. Emerald orbs filled with love.
The hug tightens, and the feathers become almost a blanket as they roll onto his back. "Then let me slide the armor off you...and perhaps we can see how well you climb my slopes."
"Only if I get to help with exposing your delightful bedrock." Fingers gently trace along the curves of armor...
A sigh. A smile. A promise in a caress, and encouragement in a kiss. "Together."
"Together."

Wrapped together, the lightshow of the lava highlighted their bodies, the shadows leading to increased mystery. Passion upon passion, and voices rise in both pleasure and song.

"I can never believe that you found me here."
"Fate does strange things."
"But you keep coming back."
"Love does even stranger ones."

A kiss. A hug. And two naked bodies sleep, wrapped in the feathers of one, and warmed by the nuclear soul of the other.
