by: Athena Goddess of the Wise

Pairings: Rose/Scorpius

Summary: Ice (cold, cold ice) burns just as bad.

"Don't play with firefirefire"

don't play with fire, little Rosie

it burnssizzlessmokes

don't play with fire, Rosie

you'll get burnt

(b:u:t: fire isn't the only thing that

b^u^r^n^s)

Ice burns just as badly

(have you ever heard of frostbite, Rosie, darling?)

Ice shatters into

amillionlittlepeices

amillionlittle

shards

(and shards hurt, Rosie, dearest)

Ice is sososo cold

It burns to touch

Ice hurts more than fire

fire is

warmwarmwarm

even as it hurts

(burnssizzlessmokes)

but ice, ice is always so

coldcoldcold

you shiver

even when it is doing no harm

and your parents say

"Don't play with firefirefire, Rosie"

and Rosie, sweet, you're too good

(and you listen)

Rosie, pumpkin,

you don't play,with,fire

you

play…with…ice

and Rosie, honey,

at first it hurts

because you

lovehimsomuch

(but the thing about ice is it numbs)

and then the pain goes away

b;u;t: when the ice (coldcoldcold ice) is done with you

and throws you back to the warmth

(the firefirefire)

and the feeling…

it comes back

and the pain…

it comes back

and the ice

(socoldsocoldsocold)

…hurts…
