Give A Lesson

Finn followed Faranne until they reached her house, she opened the door, and quickly entered, to then grab Finn by the hand and bring him inside. She checked first to see if no one was watching them before closing the door, leaving both of them completely alone with each other in Faranne's small cottage.

Finn doesn't visit her house as much as he used to do when he was little, he always found it quite nice for a home, but a little too small, she only has a large bed, and very few furniture, but she decorated it well with some paintings and pictures of her family, and one or two plants to give the room a little bit of color. And that was basically it, just one room, but to be fair all of the houses in the village were like that, it wasn't too big, and there were very few families that lived in it, so the houses consisted of one single room.

Anyways, after Finn looked around the room, Faranne asked him to sit down on her bed, while she walked to her closet, to grab an elastic to tie her blonde hair into her usual ponytail, which everyone thought was cute. She was a little agitated from the fight, but now that she wanted to relax, and talk to Finn, she got comfortable, finished doing her ponytail, and returned her attention to him, as he was mindlessly looking around her room. She smiled at him, as she walked to the bed, and he got nervous, from fear of Faranne giving him a lesson.

"So am I in trouble?" - Finn asked nervously, as Faranne stood in front of him. She placed her hands on her waist, to show some authority, and even though Finn knew Faranne loved him like a little brother, and that she was going to do everything to protect him, there was still a small part of him that felt... threatened, or intimidated by her. She looked menacing as she stood in front of him, she wasn't giving him the usual sweet smile she always did, but at least she looked calm, so that's why Finn just kept quiet, and waited for her to talk.

"What? I told you I'm not going to do anything bad to you, don't get like that..." - Faranne said playfully, before giggling at Finn's shy expression, she started smiling, which made him relax, and then continued speaking.

"No, you are not in trouble... don't worry too much, is not a big deal but I do have to teach you something... just relax for now and listen to me" - Faranne said, with a soothing tone, which made Finn follow her order, and start to pay attention to her words, as she was going to talk.

"You are all a man now! I know it is hard to believe but after all the years that I dedicated to raising you up and teaching you everything you know I think I helped you become the man you are today... a young, handsome and strong man... but you still lack some intelligence it seems, you can't control yourself and in the fight from earlier you clearly showed to me that you would put your life on risk for dumb things" - Faranne continued saying, with a harsh tone, to let Finn know that his actions could have severe consequences, while he just nodded, to let her know that he was listening.

"Well, you can't do those things! You can't just chase after a goblin in the forest, that's dangerous and you nearly got yourself killed by doing it... luckily you had me to save your ass but that may not be the case the next time... and I don't want it to be a next time but you know these things always happen so is best for me to prepare you for the future, I don't want you to get beaten up like that before, okay?" - Faranne said, with an authoritative tone, as she took control of the conversation, but she tried not being too strict, as she saw Finn's face. He was clearly regretting his decisions, he looked sad, ashamed, and overall just very disappointed in himself, which made Faranne feel bad for him, so she walked closer to him, and placed her hand on his shoulder, as he looked down from embarrassment.

"I just wanted to help out... keep all of you safe from the goblins... I don't want them to attack us again, they were very close to killing us all this time a-and... and I don't want to lose you!!!" - Finn shouted, with a broken voice, he was at the verge of crying, the disappointment, and shame was too much for him, and when Faranne saw him like that, her heart broke. She immediately kneeled to be at his eye level, she grabbed his chin gently, and lifted it to see his face, some tears were about to come out of his eyes, but he quickly wiped them off when he faced Faranne. She frowned with pity for him, and tried to cheer him up, but at the same time she wanted to tell him something very important, that was also part of the lesson.

"And how do you think your friends would feel if you got yourself killed in the forest like that, huh? Think about Lilith, think about Zoey... think about me... how do you think I will feel if I lost you because you decided to chase a goblin and ended up dead because you weren't able to control yourself??" - Faranne asked, with a slightly raised tone, she came off as a little aggressive, but she wanted to show the reality of Finn's actions to him, so she had to do it this way.

"I-i didn't think about that..." - Finn replied, with a sad tone, since he felt very bad to fail her like that, and he felt even worse than before. But gladly Faranne gave him a sweet smile, and started talking, with a more soothing tone, that could calm him down.

"That's the problem, you didn't think... but it’s okay though, I understand... I forgive you, we all do dumb things when we are young and honestly I think you are very mature for your age so I know you will try better in the future, that's why I have to train you a little more and maybe be a little harsher on you..." - Faranne said, with a soft tone at first, to then turn into a playful one, when she told him about being a little harsher when training him. She gave him a friendly smile, that made him chuckle, and he knew she wanted the best for him, so he didn't think about the harsher training as something bad, and he finally started smiling, as Faranne was able to raise his mood.

"So, and I want you to remember this... every time you have to make a decision like that again, think about me... you know why?" - Faranne asked Finn, who shook his head in response to her question, which made Faranne smile again, before placing her hand on his cheek, and started to talk, with a sweeter tone than usual.

"You have to think about me because I will never forgive you if I lost you... you mean so much to me that if I ever lost you I would miss you more than anything in my life, because I love you more than anything in my life... you are so very special to me, very special... Everyday I think about you, I think about ways to show my love for you, try to be as caring and loving as I can be to you and do everything I can to protect you and make sure you have a nice day... you know why I do all of that?... Because deep down I feel like I owe it to you, you deserve all my love, you are the best thing that has happened to me... since the day I met you to all of the years that I spent raising you... you were the single reason I kept going in life, you gave me the hope that I desperately needed when I was in the lowest point of my life, so seriously thank you... I love you so much and you really don't know how much I care for you... or maybe you do... I don't know... and I also don't know how you see me, I don't know how much I mean to you, I don-" - Faranne said with excitement, and passion in every single word, as she got the chance to fully express all of her feelings for Finn. But she got interrupted by him, as he was very excited to open up about his emotions too, after he heard that Faranne loved him so much, he got the confidence to tell her everything he felt.

"Faranne, I also think you are very special to me!! I love you too!! A lot!! Like seriously a lot!! You mean the world to me and without you I wouldn't be here, I would literally be dead if it wasn't for you so I think I'm the one who owes you everything... I love you too much that I even, well... you make me feel things..." - Finn exclaimed with excitement, but then got a little embarrassed, as he almost confessed about the small crush he had for her.

"What? I make you feel what? Tell me please... I want to know... do I make you feel special? Like if your stomach was filled with butterflies or something???" - Faranne asked, eager to get an answer from Finn, who got a little scared to reply, but after seeing how she encouraged him to tell the truth, and seeing her pretty face right in front of him, he couldn't lie.

"Yes! That's exactly how you make me feel... I think I might have a crush on you... I think I love you, romantically... I don't know if-" - Finn replied embarrassedly, but was cut off by Faranne, who started cheering like crazy. She seemed very excited by his answer, and this made him smile, since he thought that she felt the same way, and apparently she did, as after cheering for almost a minute straight, she turned her attention back to Finn, and got extremely close to him, to the point that their noses were pressing against each other.

"Finn!! You don't know how happy that makes me feel!! You do love me!!! I can't believe it!!! I was so scared that you wouldn't see me like that, in a romantic way... but I did assume you liked me because I caught you staring in the past and also... Well, it doesn't matter because I love you too!!! Romantically, I love you for a lot of reasons but yes, I do want to... I just want..." - Faranne said excitedly, but as she continued talking right in front of Finn's face, she stared right in his eyes, and got the strong desire to kiss him. She started stammering at the end of her sentence, because she thought about her idea, she wasn't sure about it, but after she saw that Finn was leaning forward, and tilting his head, to clearly go for a kiss, she decided to go for it, and make her highly anticipated move, that she wanted to do for years at this point.

She leaned forward slightly, just enough to have her lips touch his, and they quickly locked into a sweet kiss. Finn closed his eyes in fear, while Faranne just enjoyed looking at his cute expression as she kissed him. She was very confident with the kiss, so she not only leaned closer to put more passion into the kiss, but she also grabbed his head to pull him closer, making the kiss more affectionate. She shortly after wrapped her arms around his neck, and continued kissing him, until he had to pull away to catch his breath. She was still holding him close, so they stared at each other after the kiss, she giggled, and he just seemed very surprised.

They stared at each other for a second, taking the time to appreciate the kiss, and as they stared deeply into each other's eyes, they felt all the love they both felt for one another. It was a magical moment for them both, that lasted even longer, as Faranne pulled him into a big, and sweet hug, that now had a whole other meaning. They hugged for a long time, thinking about all the things they felt for each other, how much they loved each other, and how they wanted to make this moment even more special.

Faranne was the one that came up with an idea though, as she suddenly felt aroused by the kiss. She pulled away from the hug, and gave Finn a flirty look, before brushing her fingers around his neck romantically, causing him to smile innocently at her. But in response, she gave him a wicked grin, that let him know about her dirty thoughts. She pulled him close once again, but now to whisper in his ear.

"That was amazing... I didn't know you were such a good kisser but I think now is a good time to start with some of that training I talked to you about earlier, would you like to try it out?" - Faranne whispered seductively to Finn, who gulped, and nodded nervously, as he started to realize what this could lead to. She giggled suspiciously, and stood up, as she stared at Finn seductively, while biting her lower lip. She thought about all the fun things she was going to do with him, now that they kissed, and now that they love each other in a more "special" way. But she also remembered that she needed to be a little more harsh with him, so she was going to be creative with whatever she wanted to do with him.
