Flame x Viper AU

== Foreword ==
In case Flame and Viper actually aren't seven, they are in this AU. :) Yes, I ship this. Please no hate, I do however take constructive criticism. Thank you. :)
== Chapter 1-Viper ==
Viper was about to stab Flame with her tail. What am I doing? she thought. "I can't," she whimpered. "What?!" Morrowseer bellowed. "I can't!" Viper repeated, louder. "Fine. Fatespeaker, you're in. Flame get up here," Morrowseer grunted. Viper hissed with delight. She lunged for Fatespeaker who yelped in surprise. Viper pinned Fatespeaker down. "Stop!" Fatespeaker pleaded. "This is your fault, I'm stuck here on this island, when I could have been with my parents!" Viper roared at the small NightWing. 
Then a dark shape barreled into her and she fell by the lava. Ugh, that horrible other NightWing. The nerdy one. Viper thought. Starflight spread his wings in front of Fatespeaker, protecting her from Viper. Viper snarled, and lunged for his throat. Fatespeaker pulled Starflight out of the way just in time, and Viper landed on Ochre. Fine by me, she thought grumpily, slashing his wings with her claws and curling her tail to stab him. Just as her scorpion tail plunged towards his heart, he shot a blast of fire at her. 
Viper cried out, jumping off, but the fire scorched her neck and cheek. Ochre screeched. Huh? Viper turned around to look at the annoying MudWing. He had been scraped by her tail all down his back. She smirked; he'd be dead within a day. "Are you okay?" Flame asked, and it took Viper a moment to realize he was talking to her, not the moons-blasted MudWing. "Um. Yes. That is, the burns hurt. But whatever. I can handle it," she muttered, tossing her head.
Why am I showing off for him? Viper wondered. Flame exhaled a sigh of relief, and a plume of fire shot out, almost touching Viper's snout. "Watch it!" she snarled at the SkyWing. "Sorry," he said. He sounds like... he genuinely means it. What? Viper thought, definitely confused. "It's fine," she replied gruffly. Flame put one of his large red wings over her and she found herself curling her tail away, so there wouldn't be any accidents. "YOU TWO! WE'RE GOING TO THE DOCTORS! COME ON!" Morrowseer roared. Viper jumped.
Flame nodded at her and took off after Morrowseer. Viper glanced at her tail, and then spread her wings to take off after the others. 
Starflight was flying so close to Fatespeaker, whispering little things. "What are they doing?" Viper asked in disgust, to no one in particular. "I don't know," Flame answered. Viper's wings missed a beat; she hadn't realized the SkyWing was so close. "Three moons," Viper muttered, wrinkling her snout. Flame snorted. "Yeah, I get that a lot, I guess," he growled. "What?" Viper asked. "Sorry, I just- I thought you liked me," Flame muttered, obviously embarrassed. "I do like you," Viper admitted. 
Why was she telling him this?! "Really?" A small smile spread on Flame's face. "Y-yes," Viper whispered. "Like... more than a friend?" Flame asked nervously. "Yes- Like more than a friend." Viper breathed. Flame tipped closer so their wings were brushing. What this can't can't can't be real it can't no it can't how how how oh we're he's are we are we is this real, Viper's thoughts swirled around like a sandstorm. "Hey, look at me," Flame murmured, his wing tip tilting her chin up. 
"I..." Viper started. There, apparently, was no air at all; Viper's lungs squeezed, and she couldn't breathe. Flame then smiled warmly at her, and she gasped a breath of air. Smoky, rotten, sulfuric air, but air all the same. 
That day, Viper realized two things.
One, she loved Flame with all her heart.
And two, this was certainly dangerous. Their tribes would never allow it, and it made Viper weak. 
"We're here," Flame said before diving down to a small rocky platform jutting out from the fortress. Viper tucked in her wings to land neatly beside him. "Wait outside," a burly NightWing ordered, dragging Ochre inside, with Morrowseer close behind. Viper snarled at him before settling on a flat rock. Flame curled up beside her. Fatespeaker and Starflight, however, were still talking in low, hushed voices. Viper wasn't interested, but she heard a few scraps of the conversation.
"-island, to the tunnel-" "-get Ochre and-" "-RainWings-" "-rainforest-" "-escape-" Viper snorted. She closed her eyes and rested her head on Flame. Flame let her, putting his wing over her like a blanket. The scales were cool, compared to the volcanic island. It was before long that Viper was fast asleep.

"Wake up, sleepy-snout," a voice breathed to her. "Mm," Viper mumbled. A claw poked her. With a yelp, Viper sat straight up, tail raised, before realizing it was Flame. Her heart practically leaped out of her chest; she struggled with weird feelings like happiness and love and love. "Hi," Flame murmured. "Hi," Viper replied, placing a talon on his. "Let's get going," Flame squinted at the sky, where Morrowseer, Starflight, and Fatespeaker were waiting.
She shook out her wings, then launched herself into the air, Flame right behind her. At the fortress, Viper and Flame settled, until Starflight and Fatespeaker... left. "Let's follow them," Flame suggested. 
They went to Ochre's cave, and shook him from sleep. Then the two NightWings and the MudWing swooped towards a black sand beach where about twenty NightWings waited. Flame and Viper flew and landed next to Fatespeaker. Then the guards nodded and stepped aside for the dragonets to pass. "What did you say to them?" Viper whispered incredulously once they were safely in the tunnel. "Come on," Starflight worriedly replied.
