They could never refuse each other anything, which was a weird dynamic for Fire and Water to have.  Even they knew it, but it never stopped them.  Further and further down the rabbit hole of destructive desires; it was a spiral of bad decisions and it was inevitable it would end up like this.

Water was laughing, a panicked sort of laughter.  Fire was just sitting there, trying to take in this information neither of them had even known was possible.

“A freak of nature?”

“A mistake?”

“Whatever it is... it’s our child.”

“What the hell do we tell them.”

This started out being for Comfort, but I couldn't make it fit so I had to finish it when we drabbled Consequences.  It makes me grin.

This incarnation of Fire and Water get along way better than I would have expected.  And then this happened!  There are a few other drabbles with these incarnations, but I'm too lazy to find them, so you'll have to hunt them down yourself.
She couldn’t stop crying.  This was utterly ridiculous for the living embodiment of Fire.  The streaks on her face and neck burned with salt and tingled as the tears evaporated from her skin.  In a minute she would probably set the comforter on fire.  She almost missed the knock on the door before Earth slipped into the room.

“Go away; I’ll burn you up accidentally,” Fire sniffled.

Earth ignored the warning and set a clay bowl full of mud on the bed.  “For your skin,” she offered,  “Whenever you’re finished.”

Through her tears, Fire smiled.  Maybe everything would be okay.

I don't even know what this is.  A very sad Fire, evidently.  And I like the tears evaporating; that's pretty cool.
“Come on.  Nothing to be afraid of; it’s just the stars.”
“Seren, I can’t.  I have a life, a family, friends, school, the whole shebang.  I’d love to, but there’s too much.”
“You don’t seem to understand the gravity of the situation here.  Let me make it perfectly clear for you: you have no life here.  Staying here on Earth has no future.  If you stay, you will die.
“But surely there must be something –“
“There is something I can do, and I’m doing it.  I am going home.  And you’re running out of time to join me.”
“...Okay.”

This is a bit of a different style prompt that we usually get around here, but I made it work.  And it's been a while since I drabbled (obviously), and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this happened.  It was fun, really.
