Chapter 1- Unfortunately
The blood rushed to her rose pink face, the moment he laid his crimson eyes on her. Her eyes grew wide with surprise; she felt something like she had never felt before. This sensation flooded through her, from her blushing face to her dainty finger tips, folded in a polite manner on the tacky kitchen table. "And you!" He said in a boisterous voice, "You must be Princess Bubblegum! I've heard so much about you!" He was all smiles, and Bubblegum on the inside, was becoming a delirious mess. She had formally never met Marceline's father, but she had heard gruesome rumors about his ruthless behavior and chaotic grotesque form, yet there was something about him that made her saccharine heart beat faster than an executioner's drum. Marceline growing anxious and increasingly embarrassed by her father's behavior made it clear that it was time for her and the rest of the band to leave the room. Tree Trunks hadn't even finished baking her apple pie, the cinnamon aroma filled the kitchen, as feelings of tension filled inside Bubblegum and Hunson. The two stared at each other on the way out of the kitchen, their stare was unbreakable, Marceline didn't seem to notice.
Bubblegum stood backstage while the Scream Queens played for an audience of nearly a thousand demons and ghouls, beneath the blood red sky. Their heavy rock and roll pierced the ears of the creatures and caused them to cheer and roar. During the second set, Bubblegum found herself alone backstage, BMO had gone to the hot dog carriage on the west end of the Nightostadium. Bubblegum felt a hand on her shoulder, she looked down, it was blue was ice, it was Hunson's. She turned around quickly, Hunson was smiling at her, gazing at her. Her eyes became glassy, she felt as if she was under a spell. Hunson exclaimed softly, "Are…are you enjoying the show?" The princess nodded her head gently. "Marceline is quite talented." She answered. Hunson responded, "Yes, my little girl truly is a gem…she makes me so proud…what also won me over was her manager." He winked at her. Bubblegum felt her face becoming feverish, she wanted more than anything just to fall into his arms, she couldn't explain why. She could not come to a logical conclusion for her feelings. "Thank you, ." He put his finger to her pink lips, and whispered, "Call me Hunson." His hand moved from her lips to her cheek softly stroking her blushing candy visage with his long elegant cerulean fingers. He looked around to make sure no one was backstage with them, making sure no one could possibly see the two. He leaned in and pressed his pale lips to hers. Their kiss began soft and shy, but after a few moments became frenzied and passionate, Bubblegum dropped her clip board and threw her arms around the ruler of the Nightosphere. He severed their kiss and pressed his forehead to hers, making eye contact simultaneously. "I don't know what's come over me, Princess. I can't contain this any longer." Bubblegum's eyes were fixed on him, at first she was speechless, but then, "I…feel the same…" Her voice trembled, he intimidated her but made her heart burst with unspeakable affection. He squeezed her to his chest even tighter, "Unfortunately…I'm in love with you." His blood red eyes seemed to pierce straight through her. "Unfortunately…I'm in love with you too."
They heard footsteps and quickly pushed each other away. PB picked up her clip board and straightened herself out, whilst Hunson ran back to where he was standing during the show. In the few stray moments before he left her, he took hold of her hand and said, "Come and see me tonight." He let go of her small hand and sprinted away. It was BMO, enjoying a hotdog, "Princess, would you like some hotdog? It is delicious." PB shook her head and politely said no thank you. Her mind was somewhere else, she looked out to the audience and caught sight of Lord Abadeer, gazing straight back at her.
