Hello! This is going to be a multi-chapter story and I really hope you like it! The ship is totally a crack ship, but I totally loved it when my friend gave it to me. It contains one OC and a few underdeveloped characters that I made in my own perspective, but other than that I hope the characters are close to their real personalities. Enjoy!
*Disclaimer* - I do not own Ever After High (curse you Mattel!).
Gus Crumb walked dutifully down the halls of Ever After High. His room number clutched tightly in one hand and a bag of sour drops in the other. His bags were placed in his room already, his father's kind gesture or something, and all he had to do was go there. Apple White was giving out room numbers and she wanted everyone's roommates to be a "surprise" or something. He turned a corner and saw his room at the end of the corridor. Neither name was beside the door yet so he entered without knocking.
As soon as he entered, he was hit by a wave of smells. The first seemed to be the inviting earthy smell of the forest. Another was the overwhelming smell of brewing tea. A boy stood in the center of the room with his hands outstretched, L-shapes being made with his fingers. "No, no. that's not right either." He drawled, a Scottish accent becoming prominent. Gus coughed slightly to draw some attention to himself and the boy turned in surprise. "You!" He pointed a finger in Gus' direction. The mystery boy's eyes were wide and his head twitched lightly to the left. "Are you G-Gus Cr-Crum-mb?" The boy held a paper to his eyes and seemed to be having problems pronouncing his name.
Finding his voice, Gus stood up a little taller, "Yes, my name is Gus Crumb. Are you my roommate?"
The boy giggled in a somewhat crazy manner, "Why yes, my good sir, I am. The name," he gave an extravagant bow, "is Marshall Hare." The boy giggled again and walked to the center of the room. A large wood table sat there and there was a tea set laid out. Picking up a cup with shaking hands, he took a long drink. The tea seemed to calm him, until that is, he pitched forward onto the floor.
Startled, Gus hurried and caught the boy before he hit the ground. "Hey! Hey now, you alright?" He gently laid the boy on the ground and brushed the hair out of his face. A strange feeling passed through Gus and he gazed at the boy without shame. Marshall had two toned hair, a mix of brown and blonde that fell to his shoulders with brown bunny ears sprouting from the top of his head. His pale skin had freckles across his nose and high-set cheekbones. Green-hazel eyes met his own and Gus found them stunning. 'Eyes.' That brought him back the reality.
Marshall groaned and lifted a hand to his head, "What happened?" Looking up at Gus, he furrowed his eyebrows, "Who are you?"
Standing and holding out a hand, Gus answered, "I'm Gus Crumb, your roommate. You said your name was Marshall, drank some tea, and then passed out."
Marshall groaned again and wiped a hand over his face as he stood, "I'm sorry. Yes, I am Marshall Hare. I am- I have- Oh Godmother, how do I say this?" He was fumbling for words and Gus could tell he was frustrated. Placing a hand on his shoulder, Gus quieted the half-bunny.
A nervous smile spread across Gus' lips and he rubbed his hand awkwardly on his roommate's arm, "Don't worry about it now. A story for another time, yeah?"
Marshall laughed shakily, "Yeah, another time." Giving Gus a look through his hair, Gus felt a warmth pool on his cheeks.
'Damn those eyes.' Gus tore his gaze away and looked around the room, "So, which side is mine?"
And there we go! Hope you guys liked it! Please review and I will see you all soon! Bye!
