Hey you guys this is the first story I've posted in a while. Yeah… sorry to all my portal followers, I fell in love with Adventure Time and now EVERYTHING in my life revolves around it. But I'll stop blabbering now and let you read because this is way better than my life story.
A loud hiss erupted from my mouth, causing the blonde in front of me to startle and scream.
She whirled around and yelled, "Marshall Lee Abadeer, you butt! You scared me!" I snickered, floating around the highly-popular adventuress.
"That was the idea, Fi-oh." I said, poking her in the stomach. She grunted angrily and slapped my hand away.
"Why are you here?"
I smiled as the reason for my visit came back to mind. "I want to try something very special that a friend made for me, and I want you to be there when I do."
Fionna raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it a new kind of drink? I'm not nursing your hangover again."
I shook my head, chuckling at the memory of our last incident, and said, "Actually, it's a type of vampire sunscreen." Her eyebrows scrunched together, but then realization hit her and she gasped.
"You mean… you could go out in the sun?" I nodded, and she squealed with delight, throwing herself into my arms. "This is going to be so much fun!" I smiled at her enthusiasm, then pushed her away.
"Yeah…" I said, "But you need to change." She looked down at her normal adventuring attire.
"What's wrong with my outfit?" She asked curiously.
I shrugged. "Nothing… if you don't mind getting soaked through." Her eyes lit up.
"You mean…?" I smiled back at her.
"We're going to the beach."
About ten minutes later Fionna hopped down the stairs in a blue and white striped bikini, concealed by a dark-blue cover-up. She had sunglasses on top of her head and flip-flops in her hands, practically jumping with excitement. I chuckled, grabbing the towels she was about to put in her beach bag.
"Hey!" She protested. "Give them back!" Her little arms could only reach so far, though, and I floated out of their reach, holding the towels there tantalizingly.
"What's going on in here?" Cake asked, finally waking form her cat nap upstairs.
"We're going to the beach." We said in unison.
The cat hissed, jerking back in revulsion. "I don't know how you have fun there. It's all water and messy sand…" She shuddered, and Fionna laughed.
"Well, we'll be back later. Love you, Cake." The girls hugged and Cake smiled.
"Love you too, baby. Don't get sunburned." Fionna stuffed the bottle of sunscreen, her mp3 player, a bottle of water, and a container of strawberries into her bag.
"Okay, now give me the towels." I begrudgingly handed them over and wrapped an arm around her waist, starting to get excited about the feel of the sun.
"Let's go." I said hastily, and she giggled as we went downstairs. I took the little vial of medicine out of my pocket, gulping it down. "This is good for twelve hours. Plenty of time." I checked the clock. It read ten in the morning. By the time it wore off the sun would have long gone down. "Let's test this puppy."
Fionna opened the door and stepped out into the sun, her flip-flops slapping the earth. I followed, but hesitated in the door's shadow. Would it really work? Could it be that simple? Fionna turned when she didn't hear my footsteps.
"Are you coming?" She asked, and I saw how her hair, missing the bunny hat and instead put up in a messy bun, shined in the sun. She was very pretty, especially in the dress. It suited her, this bright, summery look.
"Yes." I said, sucking in a breath and trying to work up my courage. Finally, closing my eyes, I stepped outside. I expected the worst; the pain, the blisters.
But nothing happened.
"Marsh?" I opened my eyes and relaxed my muscles, feeling the heat of the sun on them.
"It… it worked!" I cheered, picking her up in a hug. I fist-pumped the air, floating around and enjoying the feel, the warmth, the… light! "Come on! I hear the beach calling my name!" I cried, picking her up bridle style and flying through the air towards the coast.
"I've never flown in the daylight." Fionna said breathlessly, and I looked around. It really was beautiful, all the flora and fauna of the earth really standing out form up here. Together, it was like a mass, all strung together to make one big beautiful… thing. We laughed together as we reached the beach. The pristine white sand slammed into the green foliage of the forest. It was a natural thing, but looked unnatural too. The waves rolled in and out, a salty, briny breeze floating lazily around the place. It was bright and refreshing compared to the dank, musty smell of my cave. I knew this was going to be the best day of my life.
Fionna spread a large enough blanket for two on the ground, looking up at me.
"Grab some rocks from the edge of the beach. Four of them. Make sure they're big and heavy." I was about to question, but she jokingly shooed me away to do the task. I came back with the requested materials, and she put one on each corner of the blanket to keep it from flying away in the blusterous breeze.
"Good. Now I can get some sun." She kicked off her flip-flops and took off the dress, sitting down on the blanket. Even though she was covered, I still blushed. Seeing Fionna in anything less than a t-shirt was… unnatural. But it wasn't unwelcome. I sat down next to her as she rolled onto her stomach.
"Put sunscreen on my back."
I did a double-take at her words. "…Me?" I asked stupidly. Way to go, Marshall, master of comebacks.
"You're the only person on the beach, Marshall; yes. I can't reach back there." She handed me the bottle out of her bag and undid the back strap of her bikini. I swallowed back the urge to bolt, but my hands were shaking violently.
"O-Oh…kay." I stammered, pouring out the lotion and rubbing it on her shoulders. Her skin was soft and warm; it felt good. I rubbed in the rest, then paused on her lower back.
"Should I do this?" I asked.
She shrugged. "We're bros, Marshall; bros help bros." I nodded, but didn't really think that applied here. I wasn't arguing, though. I finished rubbing in the lotion and lay down next to her on my stomach, feeling the sun on my skin. It was a welcome feeling.
"Thanks, Marshy." She said, smiling, and pulled her mp3 player out of her bag. Putting one of the earbuds in her ear, she handed me the other. We quickly lapsed into silence, enjoying the music, the waves, and especially the sun.
After about half an hour Fi poked my neck and I giggled, unfortunately ticklish there.
She laughed. "I didn't know you were ticklish." I grumbled softly, but she shrugged. "Will you tie my bikini strap? I'm having a hard time managing it backwards."
I laughed now. "How did you ever manage without me here?" I asked arrogantly, and she rolled her eyes.
"Usually I have Cake and she does this stuff for me. I know she hates coming here, but I usually force her to. Either that or PG comes with me."
Suddenly I saw red. "That pink wad touches you?!" I said through my teeth. She didn't notice the fury.
"Yeah, but we're bros, and he knows that. At least I think he knows that…" She shrugged it off, and I swallowed my anger, telling myself to enjoy the day with her and not worry about PG. At least until later, when I could silently come into his castle and… never mind. I would figure things out later.
"Marsh?" I looked down, realizing I had been scowling.
"Yeah?" I asked back, and she replied, "Can you tie me now?" I smiled sheepishly and leaned over, my fingers tracing over her skin. It was warm now, and slightly damp where she'd sweated in the sun. To me that wasn't a turn-off. No, it showed that she worked, and that she could take care of herself. I never minded if she came to my door sweaty after a day of adventuring. It was nice to finally meet a real girl, one that didn't mind getting sweaty and dirty and smelly. As I tied her strap around her back a familiar voice, the one I planned on strangling later, said, "Hey you guys!
Pretty good, huh? No? Alright. [Insert Forever Alone Meme Here] Please review and favorite and everything because honestly I feel like this might be terrible. Tanks! :I
